The beginning of May ‘corePHP’ attended the CMS Expo for the 4th time. This year was a complete blast and the best yet. Over the 4 days of attending the Expo we learned a lot of useful new material and met a great deal of new faces. We thank everyone who came out to make the Expo a complete success and we look forward to attending next year.

Wednesday, May 11th, 2011 by Rafael CorralOur new plugin makes CSS3 in IE (and any other browser) easy!
Monday, May 2nd, 2011 by Jonathan
What is this?
Anyone who has tried to add CSS3 to their site knows how difficult and time consuming it is to figure out the correct code for the correct browsers. Also, how do I make it work with IE? Wonder no more! With the Automated CSS3 Generator Plugin all you need to do is enter the values for the CSS3 you need and it does the rest. It also only outputs the CSS for the browser you are using so you won’t need 4 lines of CSS to do a simple rounded corner anymore. Read the rest of this entry »
Controlling Joomla! templates depending on menu you use
Thursday, August 26th, 2010 by JonathanWe have been working on building a multi-school Joomla! website and there have been many hurdles to overcome since Joomla! isn’t a multi-site CMS. After searching for anything that’s common across each school, I realized the menu for each school could be used as a common denominator. If I could set a variable depending on which menu is loaded on the page then I can do just about anything I want, such as change the logo, set a unique CSS class, etc. After meeting with our developers we figured out how to do this and I’ll share it with all of you in case you ever need to do the same.

The joy of styling embedded objects
Friday, October 2nd, 2009 by JonathanOh the fun we have working on so many different projects! Today I had to put a style on the actual embedded object since the div around it didn’t work out for it. Obviously, it couldn’t be as easy as it sounds so I thought I would pass on my workarounds for all of you. The following code assumes you are using the conditional IE CSS code from our blog at http://www.corephp.com/blog/easy-ie-conditional-css-with-no-hacks/
Forcing IE7 display in IE8 (updated)
Wednesday, June 10th, 2009 by JonathanI have been developing for IE8 since it was first released. Although they say it’s a final build, it’s actually in a late beta stage. There are several key CSS commands that haven’t been completed yet (such as :first-letter) and some calculations that still aren’t right in the browser. This is why they built the compatibility mode into it. This creates a major issue for web developers because any conditional statements for IE8 that are put in will break the page once it is fixed. I have thought about every possible fix and the only reasonable solution that I’ve found is… kill it!
Easy IE Conditional CSS with No Hacks!
Thursday, January 15th, 2009 by JonathanAny serious CSS person has hacked their way through more ‘Internet Exploder’ issues than they care to talk about. Even if there are only a few small issues to fix in an area, it can be difficult to track them through multiple style sheets (ie. conditional sheet for IE6 & 7). Hacks are just bad practice, so what can you do? There is a better way! I came up with a neat little piece of code that has greatly simplified my life when dealing with cross-browser compatibility.
The day IE6 finally made me crack!
Wednesday, November 19th, 2008 by JonathanI lost it. It was bound to happen. The last project I worked on finally took me over the edge. I took it pretty well when everything scrolled on the page except the title. I kept my head when I was trying to fix the custom H3 tagged headers in my modules when they got cut off, widened the column and broke the layout, I even kept my sanity as I re-sized every %$(#ing box to match the pixel-perfect design the client needed that was displaying differently on IE6 than on every other browser available on Earth…
but this… this was the code that broke the programmer’s brain.
