Description: This hack will show each user's browser in the Who's Online Box beside their name. It supports IE, Firefox, Opera, Camino, Safari, Konqueror, and Netscape. If the user is using a browser that is unsupported with this hack, it will show a Question mark icon, which means its an Unknown browser.

*** I Strongly Recommend That You Backup Before Installing/Upgrading This Hack! ***

Planned features for a later release:

Add support for more browsers.
Add browser to online.php
Show only 1 image for each browser when there is more than 1 person with that browser.
Whatever is suggested.Features/Changes in Version 1.0.3:

Fixed bug where some of you were just getting unknown for everyone's browser.Features/Changes in Version 1.0.2:

Fixed SQL bugFeatures/Changes in Version 1.0.1:

Moved browsers to session table.
Removed 'Unknown' from being stored in database, replaced it with Psionic Vision's suggestion.This was a hack request by ReadOrDie (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/member.php?u=110843).

Note: If you are using vBadvanced CMPS, please follow 350Chevy's post (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=871310&postcount=64) to get this hack working on it, if you want to show their browser on the CMPS' Who's Online.

Try editing the current product you have installed, and remove the uninstall code, that should let you uninstall it now. I think you somehow got rid of the field in the sessions table. Once you remove the uninstall code, then try importing the new product file.

Thanks for updating your hack, but why didn't you add the "other browsers" in this version?
Those will be in a later version, this was just a quick port of my 3.5 version.

I went to uninstall this hack because it wasn't showing a few common browsers and had problems as well.

Here is the error:

That was the only way I was able to uninstall this hack, but I think you're right - the tables are still there so it's not really uninstalled. Reinstalling & then uninstalling the hack also didn't work. There is an obvious bug with this modification that needs to be fixed.

Thanks, that worked.

When I had your mod installed, it did detect one Firefox user but it wouldn't detect myself and a few others who were using Firefox. I also used IE v7.0 and was still getting a question mark.

smoknz28

12-13-2006, 02:50 AM

This will be a great hack if I can get it to work like it's suppose to. ;)

Thanks for your hard work on this, but an issue I'm having though is that all the users online are showing an icon with a question mark "Unknown".

Should atleast be able to pick up one of the browsers. It's not even picking up mine and I'm using both IE and Firefox.

Attached is a screenshot.

1-problem... it shows the user a "?" icon for user, everyone is showing the correct browser-icon.

I logon with user 2 and I can see user 1 correct browser-icon, but user 1 only see "?" icon and user 1 can see correct browser-icon for user 2.

Thanks.

smoknz28

12-13-2006, 02:11 PM

That was the same problem I had, smoknz28.

Yea, looks like there's several others with the same problem. I'm sure he's pulling his hair out trying to fix this. Lets hang in there and see what comes about. ;)

Bison

12-15-2006, 03:58 AM

You definitely have to drop the tables ... if you had any previous versions installed before installing this.

derekivey

12-15-2006, 09:55 AM

Try refreshing the page? For some reason vB's is_browser function only works when you refresh the page. It doesn't seem to work right when the session is created, I am trying to fix it, but have no idea when it will be fixed.

smoknz28

12-15-2006, 04:11 PM

Since the install of the hack....I've refreshed (multiple times), closed browser completely (IE, Firefox), reopened browsers, rebooted computer, cleared cache...

All of the above and the hack will still not show any other icon but the question mark "unknown" for the browser.

Sorry Derek....hope you can figure this one out as this looks like it would be a nice feature to have on our boards.

derekivey

12-15-2006, 06:51 PM

This may sound like a dumb question, but you have done the file edits right?

smoknz28

12-15-2006, 11:13 PM

This may sound like a dumb question, but you have done the file edits right?

No, not dumb...you're just trying to get to the root of this and I appreciate that.

Okay, looking at my index.php file I see that the changes were already made when I initially installed this hack:

session.userid, session.browser, session.inforum, session.lastactivity,

'username' =>& $vbulletin->userinfo['username'],
'browser' =>& $vbulletin->userinfo['browser'],

Here's my entire forumhome_loggedinuser template, which you can see the addition was made:


<if condition="$loggedin[browser] == internet_explorer">
<img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/ie.gif" alt="$vbphrase[browser_internet_explorer]" />
</if>
<if condition="$loggedin[browser] == opera">
<img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/opera.gif" alt="$vbphrase[browser_opera]" />
</if>
<if condition="$loggedin[browser] == firefox">
<img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/ff.gif" alt="$vbphrase[browser_firefox]" />
</if>
<if condition="$loggedin[browser] == camino">
<img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/camino.gif" alt="$vbphrase[browser_camino]" />
</if>
<if condition="$loggedin[browser] == konqueror">
<img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/konqueror.gif" alt="$vbphrase[browser_konqueror]" />
</if>
<if condition="$loggedin[browser] == safari">
<img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/safari.gif" alt="$vbphrase[browser_safari]" />
</if>
<if condition="$loggedin[browser] == netscape">
<img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/netscape.gif" alt="$vbphrase[browser_netscape]" />
</if>
<if condition="!$loggedin[browser] OR $loggedin[browser] == unknown">
<img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/question_icon.gif" alt="$vbphrase[browser_unknown]" />
</if>


$stylevar[dirmark]<a href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$loggedin[userid]" rel="nofollow">$loggedin[musername]</a>$loggedin[invisiblemark]$loggedin[buddymark]

1.0.3 Released. It is fixed in this version. All you have to do to upgrade is reimport the xml file in the admincp, and redo the last file edit that is listed in the readme file.

Derek

Much better, although, it doesn't show the browser I'm using for some reason? I'm not worried though, as I know what I'm using (ff 2.0).

smoknz28

12-16-2006, 06:40 PM

Alright...getting there. IE displays the hack correctly, but Firefox doesn't want to work with me on this.... Anyone else having this issue with Firefox?

Thanks jw00dy :up:

Can you please update this hack to detect the new MSIE browser too.

Thanks for a kewl hack!! :)
I'll look into this.

Make sure you edited all of the files correctly. Did you forget to edit index.php? Also when you upgrade to newer vB versions you also need to make sure to reedit the files.

I am using VB 3.6.5 and installed this... my WOL shows names but no browser next to them. Any ideas?

Also, this mod does not support the version check mod...

Any chance of that being fixed with appropriate metadata?

Thanks. Great idea.

derekivey

03-26-2007, 10:02 AM

Did you do all of the template edits and file edits? Maybe you upgraded to a newer vB version and overwrote the file edits? It should show the browsers beside the usernames. Also the version check will be fixed in the next version.

Great mod.

Seems like something is slightly out of place. My output looks like this...

(icon) Doctor Death (Icon) , FDP (icon) , Sly

Notice the Browser icons are to the LEFT of the names, so the browser icons are separated by a comma between the names they apply to.

How do I get the comma shifted to the left of the browser icon to group together the browser icon and the name it applies to?
