This is a good component and arguably the best of its kind.

It has quite a few bugs but don't expect anyone to fix them. There is practically no support, even if you donate - unless some other user voluntarily helps you.

This tiny module can do anything!

I had a module which showed up great on Firefox and Safari but could not get it to work in IE, so I wondered whether Metamod would come to the rescue and serve a substitute for this module for IE users. I had no idea how to do this though! :)

Stephen was more than happy to help, providing me the exact code to do what I wanted Metamod to do and voila, it worked like a charm.

Here's the code I used:

$UA = isset($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']) ?
$_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'] : '';
$IE = strstr($UA, 'MSIE') ? true : false;
$IEV = $IE ? preg_split('/msie/i', $UA) : false;
$IEV = $IEV ? floatval($IEV[1]) : false;

if ($IEV >= 7) return 92; //module for IE7
if ($IEV >= 6) return 92; //module for IE6
if ($IE) return 92; //module for any IE version
return 80; //default module


I really have to commend Stephen for his extraordinary help. I appreciate his support every step of the way.

I have yet to find something that Metamod cannot do!

This module does what it says and it works well.

But it doesn't support themes.
On my site I only have comments enabled on the 'video' section and the section has a separate theme. When the module links to this section, it desplays the default theme.

If this could be fixed, then it would be perfect.
