As pointed out by Brendan/drsassafras (https://tiki.org/forumthread69192-CSS-Compatibility-Issues?topics_offset=14), the CSS files in trunk are missing vendor prefixes that Bootstrap 4 bootstrap.css normally has. This is because the Autoprefixer script isn't being used in Tiki's current stylesheets workflow. For better browser compatibility (so we aren't supporting only the latest browser versions), it would be good to integrate an Autoprefixer script in our workflow.
I found this script, which could be helpful: https://github.com/vladkens/autoprefixer-php . Or maybe there's another solution that works for the devs who compile SCSS to CSS.
Update: I added Release Blocker category to put this on the front burner. The solution doesn't have to be the script I found, but some solution is needed for Tiki 19 to have maximum browser support.
Update 3/16/2020: This isn't fixed in my local installation; I'd like us to have another look at it.
Update 9/22/2020: This seems to be less an issue as legacy Edge and IE browser usage declines. I can't test IE10 and other instances of vendor prefixes aren't critical. I'm removing the blocker category and changing the status to pending for now, and will check again when we update to Bootstrap 5.
I added an issue on the scsphp project here - we shall see if that does any good. In the meantime i guess we have no other option but to add the js prefixfree package for now...
Seems that someone has made a PHP CSS prefixer that should work ok with leafo/scssphp compiler, some info was added here: https://github.com/leafo/scssphp/issues/610#issuecomment-459274640 - looks worth trying, i will one day if no one else gets to it first ;)
I added the js prefix free lib to 19.x for testing in r68037
The URL for the show2.tiki.org instance that demonstrates this bug is at: http://chibaguy-342-6699.show2.tiki.org. Note that if you get a popup asking for a username/password, please just enter "show" and "show". This is different from the initial login and password for a new Tiki which is "admin" and "admin".
For the install log, see http://chibaguy-342-6699.show2.tiki.org/info.txt
Note that if you see PHP errors or a Tiki claiming to be missing third party software, the instance creation is probably not finished. Please wait a couple minutes and reload.
Snapshots are database dumps of the configuration that developers can download for debugging. Once you have reproduced your bug on the show2.tiki.org instance, create a snapshot that can then be downloaded by developers for further investigation.
Snapshots can be accessed at: http://chibaguy-342-6699.show2.tiki.org/snapshots/. Note that if you get a popup asking for a username/password, please just enter "show" and "show".
Create new snapshotTo help developers solve the bug, we kindly request that you demonstrate your bug on a show.tikiwiki.org instance. To start, simply select a version and click on "Create show.tikiwiki.org instance". Once the instance is ready (in a minute or two), as indicated in the status window below, you can then access that instance, login (the initial admin username/password is "admin") and configure the Tiki to demonstrate your bug. Priority will be given to bugs that have been demonstrated on show.tikiwiki.org.
