Hello,

you can not customize that file using extension UNLESS you customize every FTL file that includes it via the @include / @import directive.

But why do you want to hard-code the IE 10 settings anyway? What benefits do you plan to get from this compared to the Edge setting, when Edge is the recommended setting?

Hi Afaust,

Our environment has IE 11 and IE=Edge is making it run using IE11 which is causing display issues for Share. We want to hardcode IE=10 to resolve display issues.

Could you please also give me some tip on how to proceed with this issue:

Hello Ayub,

ok, that makes sense. But the issue with the customization remains the same. You would have to modify the FTL within the WEB-INF directory if you want to avoid the extreme measure of customizing every file that includes it.
Have you looked at some community projects that deal with this? There is <a href="https://github.com/LotharMaerkle/alfext">a GitHub repository of Lothar Märkle</a> for example which contains some fixes for IE11 issues in Alfresco 4.2 (Community).

Thank you for providing your valuable tips and guidance. I am not sure if the above fix for IE 11 would work even for 4.2 Enterprise. I will try it out.

Thank you
Ayub
