Re: template change depending on user browser

Hi baambooli,

you can actually adapt some code that was written for MetaMod. The rules are very similar. Check out this page:

http://www.metamodpro.com/metamod/recip … -detection

The difference is what you "return" in the "if" statements. In MetaMod, you return a module id number. In MetaTemplate, you need to return a template name.

So your rule might look like this:

Code:

$UA  = isset($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']) ? $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'] : '';

$CH  = strstr($UA, 'Chrome/') ? true : false;

$CHV = $CH ? preg_match('#Chrome/([0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+)#',

         $UA, $matches) : false;

$CHV = $CHV ? $matches[1] : false;

$IPD = strstr($UA, 'iPad;') ? true : false;

$IP  = strstr($UA, 'iPhone') ? true : false;

$SF  = !$CH && strstr($UA, 'Safari') ? true : false;

$OP  = strstr($UA, 'Opera') ? true : false;

$OPV = $OP ? preg_split('/opera\//i', $UA) : false;

$OPV = $OPV ? floatval($OPV[1]) : false;

$FF  = strstr($UA, 'Firefox') ? true : false;

$FFV = $FF ? preg_split('/firefox\//i', $UA) : false;

$FFV = $FFV ? floatval($FFV[1]) : false;

$IE  = strstr($UA, 'MSIE') ? true : false;

$IEV = $IE ? preg_split('/msie/i', $UA) : false;

$IEV = $IEV ? floatval($IEV[1]) : false;

 

// customise the template names as appropriate for your site

if ($IE and $IEV >= 7) return "template1"; // any version of IE greater or equal to 7

if ($IE and $IEV >= 6) return "template2"; // any version of IE greater or equal to 6

if ($IE) return "template3"; // any version (at all) of IE

if ($OP) return "template4"; // any version of Opera

if ($FF) return "template5"; // any version of Firefox

if ($IP) return "template6"; // any version of iPhone

if ($IPD) return "template7"; // any version of iPad

if ($SF) return "template8"; // any version of Safari (excl Chrome but incl iPhone and iPad)

if ($CH) return "template9"; // any version of Google Chrome

if ($CHV == "0.2.149.27") return "template10"; /* specific Chrome version */

Hope that helps,
Stephen

Re: template change depending on user browser

Actually this does more exactly what you asked for:

Code:

$UA  = isset($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']) ? $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'] : ''; 

$FF  = strstr($UA, 'Firefox') ? true : false; 

$FFV = $FF ? preg_split('/firefox\//i', $UA) : false; 

$FFV = $FFV ? floatval($FFV[1]) : false; 

$IE  = strstr($UA, 'MSIE') ? true : false; 

$IEV = $IE ? preg_split('/msie/i', $UA) : false; 

$IEV = $IEV ? floatval($IEV[1]) : false; 



// customise the template names as appropriate for your site 

if ($IE and (int)$IEV == 6) return "template1"; // IE v 6.x

if ($IE and (int)$IEV == 7) return "template2"; // IE v 7.x

if ($FF and (int)$FFV == 2) return "template3"; // FF v2.x

if ($FF and (int)$FFV == 3) return "template4"; // FF v3.x
