Nice plugin 🙂
I am a new WordPress user, in my previous blog, I used a little script to detect the browser of visitors (no commenter) to show a Warning if they use IE browser, your plugin also detect the visitor' s user agent or only the commenter user agent ?
Hi gialloporpora..
This plugin is for showing commenter's user agent as it fetches data from WP's saved commenter user agent field.
For showing a custom code for IE users, try :
<code><tt>
<!–[if IE]>
// Code for IE goes Here
< ![endif]–>
</tt></code>
Ok, thanks for your code :-).
Now I'll try it in my local copy and after, if all works great, I'll upload and activate it in my blog 🙂
Ciao
