Display OS and Browser Information on Postbit · **Released**: 07-28-2009

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!

Nice for a first modification

I'd suggest the following change so it doesn't clash/break other mods:

Code:

$hook_query_joins = "LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "postinfo AS postinfo ON (post.postid=postinfo.postid)";
$hook_query_fields = ", postinfo.browser AS browser, postinfo.OS as OS";

To:

Code:

$hook_query_joins .= "LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "postinfo AS postinfo ON (post.postid=postinfo.postid)";
$hook_query_fields .= ", postinfo.browser AS browser, postinfo.OS as OS";

Basically change = to .=

Looks like it will add a single query when a post is created.

An example icon name would be "icon_firefox.gif" and that should be in the images/useragent folder, what do you have in that folder?

That is correct, it loads the information back through the use of a left join so no extra queries are needed on showthread.

You'd like it turned off on a post by post basis or for the user to set it globally on the UCP?
