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

        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'])

You could create a plugin with the code:

PHP 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...
