K-Detection: Detect OS & Browser Version

[TrueSatan]

The developer is working on a new version and is likely to take on board such requests for it...probably not prior to full release of SMF 2.0 I would guess.

How difficult might it be to make this recognise 64-bit versions of XP and Vista?

[Bigguy]

It is possible that will be out with the next version but wait to hear from the mod author for sure.

[kat]

Will-do.

I wondered if simply adding a couple of line of code might do that.

I'll wait for an update.

Could anyone help - I was wondering how to change the 4 colour XP icon for a round Vista icon in this mod when the operating system shown is in fact Vista (does that make sense :-S).

Current XP icon;



Vista icon example;



Thanks
Sg

In /Themes/default/images/K_Detection/
you will find the images. If you wanted to change it. I think just rename the file "icon_win_new.png" to "icon_win_new1.png" and upload that vista icon as "icon_win_new.png" (no quotes at all) and all this located in the folder listed at top of post.

Edit: I cannot wait until this mod can store users information in a database so every time I do site maintenance it all just goes away. This way there would be no question marks on posts.

Ok - That is of help and thanks for the quick reply. I should have mentioned that I want to keep the original XP icon for XP users but add the new round Vista icon for Vista users. I should have said that from the start, sorry.

I've attached the correctly sized transparent Vista icon. (png)

Thanks for any help anyone can give.

Sorry. I don't think I can help with that bit...

this mod works with smf 1.1.4?

[brianjw]

Not currently. If you search the topic with the keyword "emulate" or "1.1.4" you might find some results.

I was pretty good at footy and boxing.
So this emulate thing is beyond me!!
I did exactly what was mentioned, and it uploaded fine.
Then when I clicked install, the error message about how it doesnt support this version of smf etc popped up.
Tried this 4 times..

Sorry, I can be a rusty nail at times, but a mod should never be this difficult to apply!!

Brianjw..
Could you check your PM please mate

EDIT:
Its late and Im grumpy..
Soz for the lil rant

Brilliant mod Nikola_
I look forward to your update.

[brianjw]

I replied to your PM.

Those of you who want to see this mod updated, PM me. I am not allowed to post the file updated in public without the authors permission, but it's private in PM's.

[Sabre™]

Thanks mate..

Installed easily without a hitch.
Thought something in the display.php was playing up, as I had to install that part manually(mine was different due to soo many other adds), and my OS and Browser were shown as unknown.
Then remembered, it only reads from the posts done from now on. lol..

Hopefully the author finds a way to cover this, as there are soo many showing as unknown.

Thank You very much

I want to keep the original XP icon for XP users but add the new round Vista icon for Vista users.

Rename the vista icon something like :  icon_win_v
Then upload it to where you have the images stored.. 
It is usually    Themes/default /images/ K_Detection/        unless you have moved them.

Then go into the K_Detection_v2.php, and look for this line

Code Select Expand

        $k_detected['os'] = "Windows Vista";
        $k_detected['os_ico'] = "win_new";

And change where it says     "win_new"      to      "win_v"
So now it looks like this

Code Select Expand

        $k_detected['os'] = "Windows Vista";
        $k_detected['os_ico'] = "win_v";

And there you have it.
Enjoy..  and thank you for the image

[Spudgun]

That worked great. Thanks very much for the easy to follow support.

I have attached the correct size vista icon if anyone else wants to use it.

Kind Regards
Spudgun.

Is there a list of browsers and OS's which mod recognizes?

[Sabre™]

Heres a list of the icons within.
It shows which OS & browsers this supports.



Hmmm..   Sorry, the image shrunk.
If you grab this mod, you can look in the images folder.

Would really like a version of this for smf 1.1.4  or 1.1.5. which I will be upgrading to very soon if somebody has one.
I have tried adding "&emulate_version=1.1.3" to the Url when uploading from my machine to no avail, it still tells me wrong version blah blah. Maybe I'm doing it wrong, there isn't clear instruction on how to use this "&emulate_version=1.1.3" trick.
Anyways would love to use this mod, but maybe its not meant to be..........

[brianjw]

I've gotten MANY pm requests for this mod updated for version 1.1.X. The developer hasn't been back to update it, so I figured I would post it. Nothing is changed, other than compatibility with SMF 1.1.X.
The developer would probably be okay with it anyway...

[cleanfiles]

Works like a charm thanks brianjw, and I agree this needs to be available to all smf users.
