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!

Installed... working fine so far without any prob. I think it'll be very nice if it'll show nick as 'Group by Browser', bcuz when thr'll be 50/100 users online it'll look funny or messy :/

[EasyTarget]

heh, I just came here to request what soulface said... organize the wol by browser so that only 1 icon is displayed for each browser in use.

Ok, I can probably add an option to do that. I'll take a look and see. Nice Suggestion!

[350Chevy]

Looks good.. One problem though, vBAdvanced CMPS v2.0.0 needed to be modified as well if you use it and would like it to show properly on your home page.

For those who use vbAdvanced and would like it to work for your home page do the following.

in /modules/onlineusers.php find:

			SELECT session.userid, username, usergroupid, (user.options & " . $vbulletin->bf_misc_useroptions['invisible'] . ") AS invisible, IF(displaygroupid=0, user.usergroupid, displaygroupid) AS displaygroupid

and replace it with:

			SELECT session.userid, session.browser, username, usergroupid, (user.options & " . $vbulletin->bf_misc_useroptions['invisible'] . ") AS invisible, IF(displaygroupid=0, user.usergroupid, displaygroupid) AS displaygroupid

again in /modules/onlineusers.php find:

				'username' => $vbulletin->userinfo['username'],

add after:

				'browser' => $vbulletin->session->vars['browser'],

That should do it.

* Clicks install.

Thanks for that tutorial. I'll add it to the first post so that people who use vBa know what to do.

Thanks again,
Derek

I have cleaned the images up a bit so they look ok on any background. Feel free to use. derekivey, feel free to place these in place of yours if you'd like.

No problem. And it's just your code with a bit of common sense so there's no need to thank me. You would've easily figured it out if you were using vBAdvanced.

[350Chevy]

Anyway we can add WebTV as a browser?

Edit: Attached WebTV icon in case you decide to add it or use it.

[derekivey]

Thanks, I'll add it to the next release with your images too.

Thanks so much!

Hi peeps

I get this error (below) from only 1 member atm, he cannot login when this
hack is turned on, turn it off an he can login although the ? icon shows when turned off so looks a tad untidy...anyway back to the issue at hand lol...

Whats ya thoughs, his browser is IE6 but the WOL is showing him as mozilla?
Your hack is showing him as a question mark and stops him from loggin in
