Alfresco 5.0.a: Share rendering bug with Internet Explorer 8

lw7415 — Wed, 06 Aug 2014 20:23:26 GMT

Hello all,A client reported that the top menu on Alfresco Share pages is not rendering on an Alfresco 5.0.a installation using Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 (see attached). I've verified this behavior here in my local test bed. I'm assuming this is a Javascript issue. I didn't see this bug in the li

Hello,

Alfresco is aware of this problem and they are working on it since it also affects Cloud. See <a href="https://issues.alfresco.com/jira/browse/ACE-2193">ACE-2193</a>. The fix already appears to be in at least one code stream but it may be the internal Enterprise QA / release branch. In the best case it may make it into 5.0b.
As I currently don't have a running 5.0a instance that I could test with that dinosaur of a web client, I can't check if the fix might be trivial to find without having to wait for a release.

Regards
Axel

On following Build: 7.02, 7.03, 7.04 and even on Developer Build for OS X Yosemite, Safari 7.1 can not render the document library. A manual patch would be great, which fix the Calendar Display Issues in Sites as well and Meeting Places in 5.0a CE.

Since there is no base tag in the Alfresco pages, the following script can be used as a workaround:


<script>
if (!document.baseURI)
{ HTMLElement.prototype.baseURI = document.URL; }
</script>
‍‍‍‍‍‍

You can add this inside /opt/alfresco-5.0.a/tomcat/webapps/share/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/templates/org/alfresco/include/alfresco-template.ftl until Alfresco releases a fix for the issue.
Disclaimer: this was tested with Internet Explorer 11 only and may have unwanted side effects. Use at your own risk.
