Title: browser version based content block
Post by: Quinn on November 20, 2008, 05:33:35 PM

I have a joomla! module that displays content based on the browser version detected. Is there a way to do this in an SP block?

Make a HTML block

Code: [Select]

<script>

//Displaying a user's browser type script


if (document.all)
var version=/MSIE \d+.\d+/

if (!document.all)
document.write("You are using "+navigator.appName+" "+navigator.userAgent)
else
document.write("You are using "+navigator.appName+" "+navigator.appVersion.match(version))

</script>

Or you can use SMF's built in detection. Look in Load.php under loadTheme() for the $context['browser']['is_(browser engine/name)'] stuff.

Then you can just do (for example):
if($context['browser']['is_gecko'])
    displayFirefoxBlock();
else
    displayOtherBlock();
