Integration with vBulletin - Mobile Device & Browser Detection (Adapted by BOP5)

This mod has no settings or options.

Installed alone and you will see nothing new.

The purpose of this mod is to bring a reliable way of detecting mobile browsers and devices to vBulletin for use in other mods.

Currently the only mod I know it is recommended for is my Sidebar Anywhere mod.

The bulk of the work of this mod is done by a publicly available PHP Mobile Detection class from:
http://code.google.com/p/php-mobile-detect/

The file name was changed to prevent conflicts but the file contents including license information remains unchanged.

Once installed the mod will allow you to use $vbulletin->detect to detect various mobile options anywhere $vbulletin variable is available in the code.

Its plugin load priority is set to 1 so it executes before all other plugins.

$vbulletin->options['bop5_mob_detect'] = true; //True if mod enabled/installed

$vbulletin->detect->isMobile()    - true if any mobile device
$vbulletin->detect->isTablet()    - true if tablet
$vbulletin->detect->isiOS()       - true if any iOS device
$vbulletin->detect->isAndroidOS() - true if any Android

------------------------------------------------------

Please "Mark as Installed" if you use this.
Donations always appreciated. :up:
Nominate MOTM if you LOVE it!

Nice mod

I suggest changing the hook to "init_startup" to be able to replace default mobile browser detection in init.php with:

if($vbulletin->options['bop5_mob_detect'])
{
	$mobile_browser = $vbulletin->detect->isMobile();
	if($mobile_browser && $vbulletin->detect->isTablet()) $mobile_browser = false;
	$mobile_browser_advanced = $mobile_browser;
}

That way tablets will not be considered as mobile devices, thus not being served mobile style as default style.

wouldn't removing the following line do the same thing??

$vbulletin->detect->isTablet()    - true if tablet

Hey BOP, does this make our videos and stuff work on iPhones and pads?

No- it merely detects if it is a mobile browser or not- it does nothing without custom coding.

However to have YouTube and other videos work on iPhones and stuff check out these HTML 5 changes- https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=283594

Just installed this on my site and it is treating all my devices as desktop browsers and not mobile. Any ideas on why that may be?

I've tested it with a nexus 4, nexus 7, and an Ipad 1

I'm using this to hide a footer ad from mobile users:

PHP Code:

<vb:if condition="!$vboptions['isMobile']">

code code code

</vb:if>

Did you follow the instructions in post #4? $vboptions['isMobile'] isn't going to exist if you don't set the value via a plugin first.
