    • Where to put browser sniffing?

    Posted by Gary Cunningham-Lee posts: 4656 Japan

    I have visitors to my site that use old Amiga browsers that don't work well with normal Tiki themes. I've made a compatible theme for them, but would like it served automatically with PHP browser sniffing instead of only after they manage to find and select it. Any ideas? TIA.

    Try tiki-setup.php or tiki-setup_base.php. Those two files are included on every tiki page.

    You may wish to check out the templates (.tpl) in the templates directory of your tiki installation. There is already a browser sniffing script in one of the template files, although I forget where... and also how deeply it sniffs. It does check for IE/Mozilla and also for uncommon browsers such as Konquerer - this is the very beauty of open source. But it is really hard to find - this is the ugliness of open source.

    header.tpl is the obvious solution around the current CSS file line wrap
    Copy to clipboard
    {php}
if (sniff sniff code) {
echo "usual theme"
} else {
echo "amaiga theme line"
}
{/php}

    Thanks, Damian. I'm using phpsniff, and I modified Tiki's header.tpl. to serve a selected CSS file to particular browsers. For the record, the details are here.
