Extension talk:UserInfo

From mediawiki.org

doesn't work with 1.16[edit]

The extension doesn't seem to work with MW 1.16 and current Parser extension. Including it leads to a blank wiki page and the following warnings/errors in the httpd logs:

I found a few minor, but irritating, buts in UserInfo.php, so I fixed them. I'm not part of the development, so I thought I"d put the result here[edit]

/****************************************** 
this is currently set to accept 11 parameters, although you can add as many as you want:
1. safe - returns true/false, you can determine what makes the browser be safe lower down, 
        currently it's set for ns4 and pre version 1 mozillas not being safe, plus all older browsers
2. ie_version - tests to see what general IE it is, ie5x-6, ie4, or ieMac, returns these values.
3. moz_version - returns array of moz version, version number (includes full version, + etc), rv number (for math
        comparison), rv number (for full rv, including alpha and beta versions), and release date
4. dom - returns true/false if it is a basic dom browser, ie >= 5, opera >= 5, all new mozillas, safaris, konquerors
5. os - returns which os is being used
6. os_number - returns windows versions, 95, 98, me, nt 4, nt 5 [windows 2000], nt 5.1 [windows xp],
        Just added: os x detection[crude] otherwise returns false
7. browser - returns the browser name, in shorthand: ie, ie4, ie5x, op, moz, konq, saf, ns4
8. number - returns the browser version number, if available, otherwise returns '' [not available]
9. full - returns this array: $browser_name, $version_number, $ie_version, $dom_browser, 
        $safe_browser, $os, $os_number, $s_browser [the browser search string from the browser array], $type
10. type - returns whether it's a bot or a browser
11. math_number - returns basic version number, for math comparison, ie. 1.2rel2a becomes 1.2
