Miscellaneous Hacks - IE11 browser detection and fixes

IE11 gets along pretty well with vB4, though file downloads get a bit wonky due to some changes in how IE is detected.

Please note, that 4.2.2 and beyond ALREADY includes these changes.


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'])

I'd suggest you redo the changes carefully.

For me in vb4.2.0pl4 i have white page when upload images.
The only way to fix this so far is
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=9" />
in headinclude

Hoped this will fix and other little problems.
Any way thanks Zachery

After almost 3 years i have an issue with black screen in YouTube videos.
All videos are inserted with the default "video insert".
This happens only in IE 11, if i delete the
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=9" />

videos shows up correctly but than the other problems with editor an other shows up because the "meta" code fixes them.

Any one has same problem?? any solution??
vb4.2.0 (can not upgrade)

Same problem, only the removal of that tagg doesn´t make any difference at all. Would really like to solve this issue.
