Miscellaneous Hacks - IE11 browser detection and fixes

IE11 has some issues with vB5 as it stands now due to bad browser detection. These changes should address the issues at hand until the software is patched.

In core/includes/functions.php find:





// detect macintosh



Add above:



// Detect Modern IE11+

if (strpos($useragent, 'trident') !== false AND !$is['opera'] AND !$is['ie'])

{

preg_match('#rv:([0-9\.-]+)#', $useragent, $regs);

$is['ie'] = $regs[1];



}





Next, find:



if (strpos($useragent, 'gecko') !== false AND !$is['safari'] AND !$is['konqueror'])



And replace it with



if (strpos($useragent, 'gecko') !== false AND !$is['safari'] AND !$is['konqueror'] AND !$is['ie'])


Next, we have one more change to make:

In /includes/vb5/frontend/controller.php Find


if (isset($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']) &&
(strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'], 'MSIE') !== false))
{
header('Content-type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8');
}

Add after


// IE11+ detection, MS changed the UA
elseif (isset($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']) &&
(strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'], 'Trident') !== false))
{

header('Content-type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8');
}

Done, but in opera it does'nt work

It wasn't intended to fix opera, but I might be able to spare some time to look into it.

great :D Thanks
