Internet Explorer

frecklefoot — Fri, 21 Oct 2011 16:20:29 GMT

I noticed in the docs that Internet Explorer is not supported by Modeler (I tried it; it doesn't work). While I have no love for IE, most of our customers do. About 99.9% of them are standardized on it and are prohibited from using any other browser. Is there any plans to add IE support to the Model

Hi,

The Activiti Modeler is maintained by Signavio who also provide a commercial product for this.
You better ask there: http://code.google.com/p/signavio-core-components/

Google has a SVGWEB，so that ie can support SVG。why activiti Modeler still can't support ie with Google's SVGWEB.
Can we have other ways to allow activiti Modeler support IE except Signavio's commercial product.
how can I solve this problem . can someone help me? Thanks.

If you would like to contribute the support of the Activiti Modeler with SVGWEB you would be very welcome.
It requires quite a bit of javascript changes to support IE 9 and/or 10 for the Activiti Modeler, that's why it hasn't been solved yet. But contributions in this area would be really helpful.

Best regards,

trademak，can you give me some idea how to make the javascript changes, and how many time can i finish this task?

Re: Internet Explorer

trademak — Tue, 13 Aug 2013 09:21:00 GMT

That's really dependent on your Javascript skills and Oryx framework skills. You can make the changes by checking out the sources of the activiti-webapp-explorer2 module in the Activiti project. There's an editor folder containing all the Javascript sources.

Dear trademak, when IE run URL “http://127.0.0.1:8080/activiti-explorer/service/editor?id=1511” ，IE can't get any response, the screen always is blank.

We are debuging and tracing the code winthin IE. but now we have no idea which Controller of which jar runing the the process。can you tell us which Controller of which jar running the process?

Re: Internet Explorer

trademak — Tue, 27 Aug 2013 19:43:13 GMT

The /editor URL invokes a REST service which is part of the activiti-modeler project.

Dear trademak, thank for your help, we have more question to expect your answer.

InputStream editorStream = this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("editor.html");
    InputRepresentation editorResultRepresentation = new InputRepresentation(editorStream);
    //editorResultRepresentation.setMediaType(MediaType.APPLICATION_XHTML);
    editorResultRepresentation.setMediaType(MediaType.register("text/xml", "XHTML document"));

when we run the procedure above, we change the MediaType with “text/xml” to replace “XHTML”。the ie still can't run normally. Do we must change the MediaType with "text/xml" to support the ie?

Re: Internet Explorer

dragonhncs — Tue, 22 Oct 2013 04:02:59 GMT

Can you give us some guides how to change the code of the activiti-modeler to support the IE. I have four programmers can be used for the project. When we finished the project, we can donate the source code to your organization free, excepting to your help. Thank you very much.

Re: Internet Explorer

trademak — Wed, 23 Oct 2013 14:22:23 GMT

Hi,

You can change the media type to plain html if you also change the editor.html code.
Other than fixing the javascript errors you run into I can't give much guidance upfront I'm afraid.
If you have specific questions I can certainly help and look into it.

Best regards,

Re: Internet Explorer

trademak — Fri, 25 Oct 2013 10:19:16 GMT

It's not very helpful to list a lot of MediaType definitions here. text/html will work if you also make the editor.html text/html compliant.

Best regards,

Re: Internet Explorer

dragonhncs — Mon, 28 Oct 2013 02:14:27 GMT

Dear Tijs Rademakers, can you give some ideas how to make the editor.html text/html compliant? Now we change MediaType with text/html, the URL “http://127.0.0.1:8080/activiti-explorer/service/editor?id=1511” can't get any response, we can't debug the code any further.

Thanks.

Re: Internet Explorer

trademak — Thu, 31 Oct 2013 10:09:50 GMT

I really don't want to be rude or anything, but if you can't figure this out then making the modeler internet explorer will be quite hard. You will run into more of these kind of issues.

Re: Internet Explorer

dragonhncs — Fri, 01 Nov 2013 04:50:11 GMT

Dear Tijs Rademakers, we are master at java, but it's true we're not familiar with JS. Thanks for your answer. Can you give us one more chance to teach us how to solve the problem ,then we can work out the other problem.

Re: Internet Explorer

trademak — Tue, 05 Nov 2013 13:24:00 GMT

Could you try changing the editor.html first elements into this:

<blockcode>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
</blockcode>

Best regards,

Re: Internet Explorer

lsmall — Wed, 13 Nov 2013 15:06:22 GMT

Our customers will not use a product that does not support IE. I did not see a formal Jira request for this support. How do you measure demand - how can we escalate the importance for this support? Should I open a feature request?

Re: Internet Explorer

trademak — Wed, 13 Nov 2013 16:29:37 GMT

Yes JIRA is our measure for demand. Be aware that technically it's only possible to support IE 9 and higher because of the usage of SVG in the modeler.

Best regards,
