Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(Camino Graveyard :: Annoyance Blocking, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8.1) Gecko/20061010 Firefox/2.0

I've used <?php include ("./incl/filename.php"); ?> to insert common sections of pages and this works consistently on IE 6, Firefox, Opera, Safari, iCab, Flock, ... but is inconsistent on Camino: Right hand 'ad' column does not display though same code works elsewhere in pages. Problem <?php include ("./incl/filename.php"); ?> seems identical, except for filename, as others but does not display.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. load any page from genienet.ca
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
as above!


 - work around available but defeats goal of simplifying management
 - is this a bug or error in site (new to php) code? last seems unlikely as only shows up in Camino.

php, Camino 1.0.2

This is caused by adblocking.  Preferences->Web Features->Block web advertising.  It's desired behavior.

Comment 3

site included in exceptions list for ad blocking!

Comment 4

[ecrosse]

further clarification: when site included in exceptions list problem is as reported though if ad blocking is unchecked then works as should

Comment 5

[Wevah (Nate Weaver)]

This has nothing to do with PHP, and everything to do with what the PHP is outputting.

What exception list? Unless you are manually editing the ad-blocking CSS file shipped with Camino, there isn't an exceptions list.

This:

Preferences
 Web Features
   Edit Exceptions List...

On closer reading I see it refers to pop-ups which is not the problem I was reporting.
     

Comment 8

[froodian (Ian Leue)]

Although the problem as reported is INVALID, perhaps this is an indication that we should move the "block web advertising" checkbox to below the pop-up exceptions list, or move the pop-up prefs to the bottom of the annoyance blocking section to avoid further confusion.

I was thinking the same thing.
