Miscellaneous Hacks - IE11 browser detection and fixes

IE11 gets along pretty well with vB3, though file downloads get a bit wonky due to some changes in how IE is detected.

In includes/functions.php find:

PHP Code:

        // detect macintosh 


Add above:

PHP Code:

// Detect Modern IE11+
        if (strpos($useragent, 'trident') !== false AND !$is['opera'] AND !$is['ie'])
        {
            preg_match('#rv:([0-9\.-]+)#', $useragent, $regs);
            $is['ie'] = $regs[1];
 
        } 


Next, find:

PHP Code:

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


And replace it with

PHP Code:

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

Up to now, l was using offsite, So never really cared

I'm confused as my latest stock install of 3.8.7 pulls YUI 2.9 directly from yahoo. Are you guys pulling the 2.9, modding it and then pointing your board to your own modded version?

I plan on downloading the latest vB3.8 version, get the yui files provided in the package, modify them and use those on my server.

I tried this process with the suggested modification and loaded the .js file from my own server but it didn't seem to fix the problem. Can anyone else confirm?

I have vB3.8.4 version and 2,7 YUI version. I tryed to apply mod to *.js file but smiles not works in IE11 :-(((((((

[realdx]

These are my problems with IE11:

- If I put this correct code into headinclude, smiles not works and lightbox for attachment files works very very well

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=11" />

- If I remove code from headinclude, smiles works fine but lightbox for attachment files works bad: it opens but not load image...if click into black box, image opens in a new window's browser...late if click another time on thumbnail, image opens fine with lightbox (because image is present into cache????)

PLEASE HELP ME !!!

Try IE=10

[realdx]

I've already tried this mod. Nothing !

Probably with IE10 installed works fine, but I wanted to try to fix problems in IE11, for next years...

I hope to receive help and solutions from some coder or developers :-)

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=10" /> That is what I meant/

[realdx]

Thank you Zachery, I understood your suggestion. I've already tried that code but without change :-(
