Administrative and Maintenance Tools - Add Google Chrome to the is_browser() function

About the is_browser() function

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:

PHP Code:

'safari'    => 0, 


add above:

PHP Code:

'chrome'    => 0, //added for chrome detection 


2. Find:

PHP Code:

        // 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
            # Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en) AppleWebKit/522.11.3 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/3.0 Safari/522.11.3
            # Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; U; CPU like Mac OS X; en) AppleWebKit/420+ (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/3.0 Mobile/1C28 Safari/419.3
            # Mozilla/5.0 (iPod; U; CPU like Mac OS X; en) AppleWebKit/420.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/3.0 Mobile/3A100a Safari/419.3
        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:

PHP Code:

        // 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:

PHP Code:

if (strpos($useragent, 'gecko') !== false AND !$is['safari'] AND !$is['konqueror']) 


Change to:

PHP Code:

if (strpos($useragent, 'gecko') !== false AND !$is['safari'] AND !$is['konqueror'] AND !$is['chrome'])

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...

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.
