Conditional for Browser detection

[Colosus]

What is the conditional for browser detection? Like if I wanted to display a different image on all browsers except IE (stupid rendering bug).

Have to start at PHP_include_start

I too had a problem with this. I spent the past three days working on it, and here is the final solution I came up with.

$rt_checkos = strpos($_SERVER[HTTP_USER_AGENT], 'MAC_PowerPC');
if (is_int($rt_checkos)){
$rt_browser = 1;
} 

That gives us a variable which we can check against in a conditional.

Then we do our conditional...

<if condition="$rt_browser==1">
This is stuff only a Mac will see...
</if>

You can use vBulletin's is_browser() function...

is_browser($browser, $version = 0)

<if condition="is_browser('ie')">Do Internet Explorer Stuff here</if>

<if condition="is_browser('mac')">Do Macintosh Stuff Here</if>

The strings it looks for are:
opera
ie
mozilla
firebird
camino
konqueror
safari
webtv
netscape
mac

The second parameter is a for the version number so:

<if condition="is_browser('ie',6)">Do Internet Explorer 6.0 Stuff here</if>

Would anyone mind pointing me in the right direction to create this fix?

I am having problems with mac and webtv.

Thanks in advance.

I gather the above code should be placed in a template.

Could someone please point me to which templates(s) need to be edited.

Thanks in advance.

[mcahill]

It depends...

On what you are trying to do. In my case I was trying to keep my navigation header from showing to MAC users. In that case, you use it in your header template.

On what template does the information you want to tailor to the mac and webtv live? That'll be the place for the if statement.

I have Netscape 4.8 installed to test. I can get it to identify it if I just use netscape, but if I try 4 or 4.8 as the version number, it doesn't work. How can I get it to read if it's an oldie browser?

Anyone could please help me wwwwwith this?

I don't think the version parameter works properly... my IE6 matches here:

<if condition="is_browser('ie',5)">Do Internet Explorer 5</if>

[TechGuy]

Maybe this conditional is matching version x or higher? For example, if you check for 4, then 5 and 6 will match?

<if condition="is_browser('ie',5)">
<if condition="!is_browser('ie',6)">Internet Explorer 5</if>
<if condition="is_browser('ie',6)">Internet Explorer 6</if>
</if>
