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!

No Problem .

Hmm.. I've had this installed for a few weeks and my members like it.. However, there seems to be a problem when the user first enters a vBulletin powered page such as vBadvanced CMPS or the vBulletin Admin/Mod Control Panels.. It doesn't seem to detect the browser right away like it did with an Invision Board hack that did this very thing.

What I am wondering, is how to get the browser icon to show on the first page view. (Sometimes I have to refresh a few times to get it to recognise my browser.)

Thats happens because I guess vB's sessions start before the hack itself so it doesn't get added the first time when they view the page, but after the session is created it gets added. I might have to take away the plugin and make it a file mod to get it in the right place. I'll try and have it fixed for the next version.

[derekivey]

Try finding session.userid. You might have installed a few hacks that changed the line.

You didn't paste the whole file, the code is near the end I think.

[saba]

here it is

[derekivey]

I found it in there. Find $forumusers = $db->query_read(", its like 3-4 lines down from that: session.userid, session.inforum, session.lastactivity
