Change skin based on browser.

[bnji]

Hi, I need a way to change the style on my forum based on the browser being used.
Our default skin uses certain things that Internet Explorer doesn't support, so I'd like to make any version of IE default to a different style.

Thanks.

Try this..... create a plugin with the hook location style_fetch and add this code into it

PHP Code:

if (is_browser('ie'))
{
    $styleid = x;
} 


And obviously change the x to the styleid that you want to restrict to IE

Works perfectly, thank you!
If I wanted to default mobile browsers to my mobile style, would I be able to use this like

PHP Code:

if (is_browser('ie'))
{
    $styleid = x;
}
if (is_browser('mobile useragent string here'))
{
    $styleid = x;
} 


or would I have to make a second plugin?
It's not a necessity but it'd be really handy!

Not sure if this will work or not, but in the same plugin, add this:

PHP Code:

global $mobile_browser;
if ($mobile_browser)
{
    $styleid = x;
}
