Miscellaneous Hacks - Emulate IE7 on IE8

As Internet Explorer 8 Beta 1 is public beta, using the standard mode breaks the layout and functionnalities of vBulletin.

To avoid this and to force your users to use the "Emulate IE7" button without to click on it, you can do this:

In the 'headinclude' template, at the top, add this:

<if condition="is_browser('ie', '8')"><meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=7" /></if>

And save

You can have more information in this page at the "Versioning and Cross-document Interaction" section.

Edit : this modification isn't more necessary since vBulletin 3.7.0 Release Candidate 1, an option have been added to vBulletin Options by default.

Thanks works good.

On my site I was getting a display problem with some css and ie 8, this has helped fix it. Looks like ie 8 is going to have its own unique css issues

Installed. :up:

This is now a default setting in 3.7 RC1.

I never knew that, Boofo. So, it's included in the 'headinclude' template by default?

[Boofo]

Nope, it is a setting in the vbulletin settings.

[Jase2]

Oh yes, thanks Boofo!
