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 1.0.2:

• Fixed SQL bug

Features/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.

Note: If you are using vBadvanced CMPS, please follow 350Chevy's post to get this hack working on it, if you want to show their browser on the CMPS' Who's Online.

I have added screen shots of this hack in action below.

Please click If you installed this hack.

Thanks!

Wait it also looks like your missing the images, you have to upload them to the misc folder of every skin's image folder.

Great, glad to see it's working. Is it detecting the correct browser after you hit refresh?

[Brandon Sheley]

yup,, it's working perfect for me now

just had to put the images in the correct style

For a person that knows nothing about coding (ME), this is a very nice little mod. I would also commend you on the easy to install step by step instructions you include. Not many go through that kind of trouble to add these types of guides for a modification. Hands off nice install instructions and mod works great.

Thanks C_P glad you like it! . See you at NBS.

Database error in vBulletin 3.5.4:

Invalid SQL:
ALTER TABLE `session` DROP `browser`;;

MySQL Error : Can't DROP 'browser'. Check that column/key exists

Attached here are some browser images that will look better on a Dark style

btw, does this put much of a load on the server? Say about 300+ members were online at a time, just curious. I never have more then 20 members online once

Just edit the product and remove the uninstall code from it, it should uninstall then.

Thanks,
I'll include them in the zip file when I get back from school.

Also I'm not sure how well it works with big sites, I don't have a big enough site to test it on.
