There was a minor bug with IE and the redirection component I released.
Well not a bug.. The component would redirect users from consumption server to contribution but would not place the user directly into contribution mode and so the user would have to press ctrl shift f5 again to enter contribution mode.
To enable this functionality so that the user gets redirected and enters contribution mode just add the following to the component I will release an updated component shortly..
if (SSContributorMode.IS_COMPATIBLE_IE_ENVIRONMENT) {
SSContributorMode.QueryString = ‘?sre=ie&SSContributor=true’;
}

I wish I knew what all this consumption and contribution lark was all about
By the way I got on reddit.com front-page on Saturday. It killed my shared host

Well done for getting onto reddit
I hope you bitched at your host for it going down and got a couple free months hosting!

Hope you’re still checking this but I tried this component and I am having some issues getting it to work. First, the code in the resource included with your component references “SSContributeMode”.UrlBase. I believe this is a type-o as I’m getting a javascript error telling me that SSContributeMode is not defined. I also tried the actual code you posted in your blog - SSContributorMode - but that too throws a javascript error. Do you have any insight on this?
Cheers!
