Browser Detection (Mobile/MSIE) 1.3.3

[Joe Link]

Odd, the latest version of the Kindle Fire is detected as mobile, not tablet.

I really have no idea how to do this nor any where to begin. It seems to be developer-friendly only.

You have nothing to setup. You just need to know the XenForo template syntax. This addon gives new variables in the visitor object that you can use with conditionals.

<xen:if is="{$visitor.getBrowser.isMobile}">
  <xen:require css="mobile_template.css" />
<xen:else />
  <xen:require css="normal_template.css" />
</xen:if>

Anyone know if this is still needed for XF 1.5.11 ? Or does the latest XF build already have all this functionality built in?

Thanks!

I believe it is still needed.

Xenforo's mobile detection is not as accurate as PHP Mobile Detect library.

You can check on

/library/Xenforo/Visitor.php

And search for this line

public static function isBrowsingWith($browser)

What if I need to detect a specific not listed browser instead?
I need to detect the PS4 web browser and show to the users some different content.

FYI, I've pushed an update for 1.3.4 which updates the browser detect library and some optimizations to reduce how find grained the detection is unless required.

@cclaerhout has merged it to his master branch but hasn't released it
