Hi Don,

I hope that you have had a great trip, wherever you have just been to. Here I am again reporting back to you the results of my testing of another of your well-designed extensions. I found that the current version of User Info would not recognise Opera as the browser. It just reports as follows:

Browser
Unknown

Other parameters that it has not been able to report include:

CPU - Unknown Processor[undefined]
Browser Plugins Status
Flash enabled
- Flash Version: undefined
undefined
Miscellaneous Settings
Screen Resolution
- 1800px wide X 1440px high
Languages:
- Browser: en
- User: en
- System: undefined
Javascript Enabled
- Base Version: undefined
Unabled to Detect Engine


I would like to alert you to mod_VisitorData from Denny Setiarika Pirhadi and Rony Sandra Yofa Zebua of the Camp26 Team. You may want to take a look at their codes because their module correctly detects the Opera browser and shows the Opera logo. In addition, it shows not only the IP address but also the name of the Internet service provider (ISP).


Lastly, but not the least, perhaps a lot more CSS formatting could be used so that a user like me could have the liberty or privilege of customising the look and feel of User Info as required.

I look forward to an even better version or revision of User Info.

Cheers!

Thanks for the Once Over SoundEagle!

I am aware of most of the issues you are referring to.

I originally did have a script to display the ISP name, but found that the names were quite long (and not entirely meaningful).

I am surprised that the Opera browser doesn't get detected though as there is a filter in my code to detect that. I don't have Opera on my box, so can't test it at the moment.

Don't know if you have a minute to maybe help out. Can you upload a simple php file to your server and go to the uploaded file/page in your Opera browser. Then copy and past the resulting text back here in this thread? The php file is simply one line of code shown below - name it whatever you want.

That might help me identify where the problem lies.

I will fix the Opera browser issue if/when you report back but as for the other issues, unfortunately at the moment I do not have time to tweak this module further.

Maybe sometime soon though !?!

Thanks again,

D-Mack

Hi Don,

I had about 5 hours of sleep. Opera 9.5 or 9.5.1 is free and the installation is a breeze. I use it because it is usually the most W3C-compliant browser, and has lots of features unavailable in IE. It is well worth installing it and testing User Info v1.0.x on/with it.

Have fun with Opera as your new testground or playground!

Hi SoundEagle,

Just downloaded Opera and will look into testing shortly. I already noticed a couple problems with Opera - with my machine, not my components/modules. First thing I noticed: the programmed button on my mouse for the browser 'back' button doesn't work - what the? The layouts and formats for my sites all look fine so far...

As I mentioned, I will look into the module and hopefully find a solution to at least a couple of your issues.

Thanks,

D-Mack

Hi Don,

I'm sorry to hear that. The programmed button on my mouse for the browser 'back' button works in Opera though. My mouse has five buttons and two scroll wheels.
