Not sure. I agree that this is very odd, but the only code that would
disable the plugin is where it checks for those "broken" browsers.....
at least that I can see. And since those two are some of the only ones
that do that check and they are exactly the ones that are disappearing
for you, this is probably where the problem is located.
You can do a little more investigating by opening the file
functions/plugin.php
Find the soupNazi function:
/**
* This function checks whether the user's USER_AGENT is known to
* be broken. If so, returns true and the plugin is invisible to the
* offending browser.
*/
function soupNazi(){
$soup_menu = array('Mozilla/3','Mozilla/2','Mozilla/1', 'Opera 4',
'Opera/4', 'OmniWeb', 'Lynx');
sqgetGlobalVar('HTTP_USER_AGENT', $user_agent, SQ_SERVER);
foreach($soup_menu as $browser) {
if(stristr($user_agent, $browser)) {
return 1;
}
}
return 0;
}
You can just put "return 0;" at the top of the function so it always
displays the plugin (disables this functionality). Or before the
"return 1;" you can insert something like
echo "<hr>soup nazi!!<hr>";
and see if it is telling you that it actually did find the 'bad
browser'...
