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!

i think one part of the problemw ould be that my ENTIRE original code in the forumdisplay_loggedinuser is

$stylevar[dirmark]<a href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$loggedin[userid]" target="_blank">$loggedin[musername]</a>$loggedin[invisiblemark]$loggedin[buddymark]

so i don't know where to find a <if condition="$loggedin[userid]"> like the install asks...

[derekivey]

Move the code you added for this hack up before

$stylevar[dirmark]<a href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$loggedin[userid]"

That will fix it.

It doesn't do anything for them. They appear normal on the online page.

What error do you get? You need that or the hack will not work.

Version 1.0.1 has been released. I have moved the users' browser information to the session table instead of the user table. Also, I have removed 'Unknown' from being stored in the database, and have replaced it with Psionic Vision's suggestion.

Simply follow the upgrade instructions in the install.txt file to upgrade.

Let me know if you have any problems.

in my who have visited hack not appear the browser,why?

P.S.great hack

[derekivey]

Sorry, this hack doesn't support that hack, so therefore the browser information isn't shown on that hack.

Got the same error as mentioned in post #16 on uninstalling version 1.0.1.

Manually reverting the template and file edits seems to be OK.

But product is still shown in installed product list and could not be removed.

How do I remove the entry in the product list?

Hello nice idea, some questions.

- Can i have this only appear on the Who's Online page?
- Why is not working with the guests? I mean can it see what the guest browser is, and show approximately?
- What will happen if we have special html markaps for our users in our forums? We use special mini icons for each of our usergroups. Will they be replaced from the browser icons or will display both of them (for this i only want to have it on my Who's Online page, prefferably with both the icons displayed)

Thnx in advance for any reply
