Add Google Chrome to the is_browser() function

[Lea Verou]

About the is_browser() function (http://members.vbulletin.com/api/vBulletin/_includes---functions.php.html#functionis_browser)

This modification will allow you to insert into templates code specific for Google Chrome (useful for correcting CSS issues that it has with box-shadow and opacity).

It obviously needs file edits, as there is no hook in there.

Should work for vB versions from 3.7.3 and below, although in very old versions, the code to find might slightly be different.

File: includes/functions.php

1. Find:
'safari' => 0,add above:
'chrome' => 0, //added for chrome detection2. Find:
// detect safari
# Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en-us) AppleWebKit/74 (KHTML, like Gecko) Safari/74
# Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en) AppleWebKit/51 (like Gecko) Safari/51

if (strpos($useragent, 'applewebkit') !== false)
{
preg_match('#applewebkit/(\d+)#', $useragent, $regs);
$is['webkit'] = $regs[1];

if (strpos($useragent, 'safari') !== false)
{
preg_match('#safari/([0-9\.]+)#', $useragent, $regs);
$is['safari'] = $regs[1];
}
}
Add below:

// detect Google Chrome
# Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US) AppleWebKit/525.13 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/0.2.14
if($is['webkit'] AND strpos($useragent, 'chrome') !== false)
{
preg_match('#chrome/([0-9\.]+)#', $useragent, $regs);
$is['chrome'] = $regs[1];
}

3. Find:
if (strpos($useragent, 'gecko') !== false AND !$is['safari'] AND !$is['konqueror'])Change to:
if (strpos($useragent, 'gecko') !== false AND !$is['safari'] AND !$is['konqueror'] AND !$is['chrome'])

I think this will eventually be put into an official release, (hopes), but until then thank you for the tweak ;) I will try to update my sites soon so chrome users can enjoy it to the fullest.

How to block chrome-browser users completly from accessing the site?

You could create a plugin with the code:

if(is_browser('chrome')) print_no_permission();

and play a bit with the hooks (2 possible candidates are global_start and global_complete) as I can't think of the right one atm.

However, imho its an extremely bad idea to do such a thing. If you want to shut a browser out of your site, do it to IE6, you would benefit the web more :P

just what the doctor ordered thx
i love the new browser...

What do you mean?
This mod just lets you detect Chrome, its not a fix for any particular issue with it, but rather something you'll definately need when making such a fix.

Your Initial Post:

Exactly. It doesn't provide the exact code to insert, just the ability to do so.

You have lost me.

We use opacity on various mods within our sites, with the google chrome fix, you have created, it doesnt in any way make any difference to image opacity.
All image reflections, have opacity set as reflective properties.

Or perhaps I have missed the ghist of your initial statement...

[Lea Verou]

Have you actually read the is_browser() documentation that I provided a link to at the first post? Perhaps that will help you understand what this mod does.
