WP-UserAgent

Description

WP-UserAgent is a simple plugin that allows you to display details about a computer’s operating system or web browser that your visitors comment from.

It uses the comment->agent property to access the User-Agent string. Through a series of regular expressions, this plugin is able to detect the operating system and browser which can be integrated in comments or placed in custom places through your template(s).

I’m adding new web browsers and operating systems frequently, as well as updating and optimizing the source code. Your feedback is very important, new features have been added by request, so if there’s something you would like to see in WP-UserAgent, leave a comment, and I’ll see what I can do.

WP-UserAgent was written with Geany – https://www.geany.org/
Images created with The Gimp – https://www.gimp.org/

Features

• Detects most web browsers and popular operative systems (if you find one missing, please let me know!)
• Shows web browser and operating system icons, names, and a link to their homepages (this will be customizable in future versions).
• Shows web browser and operating system in the Admin comments management page (unless you’re using “custom” option).
• Customizable, has its own Options Page where you can change the size of the web browser and operating system icons, where you want it to be displayed, and a few other options.
• Option to only display web browser and operating system info in Admin section
• Updated frequently to further extend web browser and operating system detection as well as source code improvements.
• Published under GPLv3

Some of you may compare this to another well-known plugin named browsersniff. WP-UserAgent is a heavily modified and improved version of UserAgent-Spy, with several improvements over browsersniff also:

• Easy standard installation, just upload to wp-plugins and activate it.
• Customizable options.
• No basic knowledge of PHP or editing WordPress templates required.
• Published under GPLv3.

Installation

1. Upload the “wp-useragent” folder to /wp-contents/plugins/
2. Login to your WordPress Admin menu, go to Plugins, and activate it.

3. In your WordPress Admin menu, you will find a new menu under Settings called WP-UserAgent. There you can choose the displayed icons size, and select where to display the plugin. There are three options for displaying the plugin:

   • Before the comment text. User’s WebBrowser and OS will be displayed before comment text.
   • After the comment text.User’s WebBrowser and OS will be displayed after comment text.

   • Custom (Advanced). You can specify the location using the wpua_custom_output() function inside the comments loop in your template (Generally in comments.php).

     Example:
     <?php foreach ($comments as $comment) : ?>
     <?php comment_author_link() ?> <?php wpua_custom_output(); ?> says:
     <?php comment_text() ?>

   CAUTION: If you select “Custom” and don’t use <?php wpua_custom_output(); ?> in your template, you won’t get the information displayed.

Other options include the text to use when displaying the user’s web browser and operating system as well as whether or not to show the full User-Agent string.

FAQ

• Why is my Web Browser or Operating System not detected?

The most likely answer is that your web browser is not using an identifiable user agent string. If your web browser isn’t providing the Browser name or Operating System name in the user agent, then this plugin can’t detect. If you think you’ve found an error with this plugin, please reach out to me in the Support section or leave a comment on the plugin homepage.

• Why doesn’t this plugin support Nationality flags or IP2Geolocation?

This is a commonly requested feature which I’m currently looking into. At this point in time I do not have an ETA on if/when that functionality will be available.

• How can I help?

You can help in a number of ways:

1. If you find a browser that’s not being detected or a bug/issue, report it!
2. Speak another language? Help me translate this plugin!
3. Help me keep the lights on! Donations are always appreciated, large or small!

If you have any other questions, please don’t hesitate to ask me! The easiest way to ask me a question, comment or suggest something is to post it in the comments on the plugin homepage.

• Also, WP-UserAgent has now been cleaned and extended far enough to reach the 1.0 milestone soon. I will be checking for possible problems and cleanups, but feel free to point them out to me at any time!

• 35 total operating systems detectable.
• Code cleanup (removed extra whitespace to reduce size a little) and simplification (replaced switch with if..else).
• Most of the remaining icons for web browsers have been added.
• Linux Mint support added.
• A list of detectable operating systems that now also detect versions when available: CentOS, Edubuntu, Fedora, iPhone OS, Kubuntu, Mac, Ubuntu, Windows.
• Also, generic Linux will now specify if it is detected to be x86_64 (64-bit or x64). Others may be included later.
• Appearance adjustments made (settings icon by title and styling of “Save Changes” button) to WP-UserAgent Options page as well as adding a Help section with Author and Plugin Homepage to bottom of Options page for convenience.
• Known Issues:
• Some web browser icons have not been found/added as of yet. Those include: Chimera, KMLite, retawq, TeaShark, WorldWideWeb.
• Output location “custom” is still highly untested.
• *Note: Please suggest web browsers and/or operating systems that I am missing so I can include them to be detected.
• Also, WP-UserAgent has now been cleaned and extended far enough to reach the 1.0 milestone soon. I will be checking for possible problems and cleanups, but feel free to point them out to me at any time!

v0.6.1

• 90 total web browsers detectable.
• 34 total operating systems detectable.
• Implemented a fix for Opera’s new versioning system, which started in version 10 snapshots, to correctly display the browser version.
• Cleaned code more and removed unnecessary global variable references.
• Fixed detection of CentOS.
• Debian and Ubuntu based distros (that are supported) now fetch version numbers also. Generic GNU/Linux now also specifies x64 when detected. Fedora version fetching is in the works as well as Mac OS X. Maybe these will be added in the next release. Mac versions are a little tricky since it seems they are optionally provided and formated differently per browser.I need to add fall back checks in case an odd UA string is created without version numbers for these so they are still detected. And parse pingbacks such as “XML-RPC for PHP 2.2” in the future as something other than unknown.
• Known Issue: Some web browser icons have not been found/added as of yet. Those include: Amiga Voyager, Cheshire, Chimera, Elinks, IBrowse, Kapiko, KMLite, Minimo, Mosaic, MultiZilla, retawq, TeaShark, WorldWideWeb. Several of these listed browsers never had an icon to begin with, however, all listed will use the “unknown” icon (which is generic).Output location “custom” is still highly untested.
• *Note: Please suggest web browsers and/or operating systems that I am missing so I can include them to be detected.

• Added a couple more operating systems that are detected
• Fixed a bug in previous versions that caused errors to occur when users who were not logged in attempted to post a comment.

• Added option to select DocType. Options include html and xhtml (strict for both).
• Known Issue: Most of the newly detected web browsers are still missing icons. I will try to add them as soon as I possibly can.
• *Note: The original author seems to like the additions that I made since I started extending this plugin and has incorporated many of the changes that I made into the other plugin.

0.5.3.4

• Added Windows 7 and Windows 7 x64 to detectable OS versions.

0.5.3.3

• Added Pre-2.6 compatibility for determining and defining Plugin and Content Directories constants. WordPress documentation here: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Determining_Plugin_and_Content_Directories
• Replaced sloppy code for image paths with more dynamic code.
• Renamed the function “useragent_spy_custom()” in “wp-useragent.php” to “useragent_output_custom()” to make it more generic and move away from the UserAgent-Spy naming system.
• Removed text attributes that were improperly added to option tags in “wp-useragent-options.php” to correct html validation errors.
• Adjusted the “UserAgent Output Location” section in “wp-useragent-options.php” and added the options to an ordered list, adjusting the use of the “small” tag.

• Removed “target” attribute from browser links to improve XHTML 1.0 Strict compliance.
