Bulletproof 1.2 released

Post by **yellowled** » Mon Dec 10, 2007 10:05 am

I'll make it short this time. As you probably all know by now, s9y v1.2.1 has been released. It also includes v1.2 of our trusty template framework Bulletproof.

See http://s9y-bulletproof.com/index.php?/a ... eased.html for a detailed release announcement featuring (hopefully!) all changes in this release. A German translation is available in my blog.

Since the first bug has already been spotted, there might very well be a quick point release of Bulletproof this time. After all, we have to catch up with s9y's version number quickly

Hope you all enjoy the new BP version.

Thanks for this release, yellowled, I like the changes!

But after updating to the new version I now have problems with the lightbox plugin. I get a (german) error message, when I click on an image that should start the lightbox (in my case thickbox) layer:

Code: Select all

Die Erlaubnis für das Lesen der Eigenschaft window.nodeType wurde verweigert

This only happens in FF (2.0.0.11), in IE7 the thickbox stll works. Did you change anything here as it worked in FF, too, before upgrading to the new BP release?

In English, is this the error?

Code: Select all

Permission denied to get Window.node type.....

Seems like a script error, but I cannot think of anything in BP that would have caused that. YL created an entry on the docsite showing what we changed. Does anything in that list look like it could be to blame just by its description?

I was wrong, the problem is not BP.

I googled a little and the error message was reported for sites using Google AdSence and Thickbox. I'm not using AdSence, but the Flicker JavaScript Widget showing my last fotos (you can see it at garvins blog, too) is producing this in interaction with thickbox. I added this widget some days before I upgraded BP and didn't check tb meantime.

s9y uses thickbox 2.1, it was written that tb 3.1 fixes this problem (at least for Google AdSence). So I will try to do an tb update or drop the Flicker widget.

Sorry for false alarm.

LATER: Updated Thickbox from 2.1 to 3.1 in the event_lightbox plugin, now everything works again. And the new TB version is even somewhat nicer.

I will comit the changes to the plugin.

Glad this was resolved quickly

Is it just me or is FF getting a little sloppy lately? It has been updated quite frequently lately, I'm experiencing some problem with a global reset (* { margin: 0; padding: 0; }) and select boxes in FF, and now this? Weird.

He said JEHOVA!

But to be serious: Thickbox was reported having the same problems with Opera, too. So perhaps this was just a sloppy coding in TB, but I don't know.

I get another impression: If I look at my Bulletproof powered blog with FF, everything looks realy nice and as expected, but in IE some things don't look very good or doesn't work at all. The freetag plugin is an example for this. I had to do some changes in my css files in order to make it look at least not that bad in IE, too.. The XML gifs as background produced many problems at my blog when viewed with IE.

Whoa. Go figure. IE displaying something different than expected.

I can't look at your blog specifically in IE now, but BP itself should be more or less properly tested in IE 5-7, as as that's remotely possible. I'm guessing most of the issues relate to your modifications, but of course, I can't say much without looking at it in IE. Plus, I think you mean XML .pngs, because they're more or less supposed to be problematic in IE < 7 ...
