Internet Explorer

[frecklefoot]

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 Modeler in any upcoming releases?

TIA!

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.

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,

Which media type can we choose?  the "text/xml" Google Chrome run well, but IE can't run。with "text/html", both of  IE and Google Chrome can't run. the  URL “http://127.0.0.1:8080/activiti-explorer/service/editor?id=1511” can't get any response.

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,

[dragonhncs]

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.

[trademak]

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.

[dragonhncs]

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.

[trademak]

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

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

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?

[trademak]

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,
