Miscellaneous Hacks - Display OS and Browser Information on Postbit

Hey all,

First plugin, so I hope I'm doing this right! As requested here, it'll display a small icon for both the users operating system and browser on the postbit.

Install steps:
1. Upload the Product
2. upload icon images for each os/browser to images/useragent in the form icon_(browser/os).gif - Sample Icons attached

Thanks to this mybb mod for the sample images and some of the browser detection code.

Screenshot:


Thanks and let me know if you have any problems!

There are no template edits, and the images should be in vbroot/images/useragent

For example if you install vbulletin on 127.0.0.1 in the folder vb, you should be able to find this file if the images are in the correct place:
http://127.0.0.1/vb/images/useragent/icon_firefox.gif

Here is the direct URL in cpanel to assist as well.

/ public_html / images / or / public_html /forum / images /

Hope that helps some out.

I no longer am getting a sql error but there is no images showing in the members postbit anywhere. My image path is forums/images/useragent.

That should work then, can you just verify that the actual icons are in there for sure? Remember that they will only show up for posts made after the plugin was installed. If you view the source of the postbit for one such post, do you see the image tags in the HTML?

Awe yes....."Remember that they will only show up for posts made after the plugin was installed.".....you are correct. The mod now appears to be working as described! Wow, and to think I almost gave up on this mod. Thank you for staying dedicated to the support of your mod.

Could add the function to turn this on in specific (sub)forums only? This would be great for my 'bug tracker' subforum, but I have no use for it in other parts of my site.

Sorry to say this guys, but I am going away for two weeks tomorrow and will have very little internet in that time (I'll be managing my own community with the internet I do have). I have updated the file in the first post but there is no need to upgrade if everything already works for you, and will look at adding some new features (as well as resuming support) when I get back.
