Default Better Representation of the Environmental Statistics

This mod will give you better representation of the environmental statistics kept by x-cart. The way X-Cart shows this infomation by default is useless. Store owners cannot distinguish between the different types of data nor they can use it to determine browsers or platforms for example their customers came from. It uses statistics xcart is collecting anyway so no database changes are required. Only one php and one template file to change.

I should probably point out that tracking who has javascript enabled is inherently pointless because there's no programmable way to tell if the user has disabled javascript or not.

You are probably right. The info comes from whatever xcart picks up with every visit. It can be turned off from showing so it's not in the way

Steve from what I have seen it would make things much easier to decipher. The only thing missing was version numbers of the browsers used. Kind of important with regards to IE, not so much with FF or Chrome, as they don't have the issues IE-6,7,8 have. Reasonably prices as well.

That is there - just the list from where I took the images was very long so I cutoff some of the info but it basically looks like this

Wow do you realize that during that reading/time frame you had 80 idiots/slaves of IE-6.

This should be basic info in stats without having to filter through enviromental statistics like X-cart's version. Well done and well worth the $30. Pretty easy to install or can it get hairy with a modified cart?

Yes I do but I don't worry much about them - I am done with IE6 for good (and most of them are overseas), looking forward for the EI9 fiasco Although I was suprised to see IE6 visitors to have higher number then IE7

It is just one line in php and one line in tpl files changes so it shouldn't matter how modified the cart is.

Yeah we blocked IE6 from our site (I use php's get_browser() to find it as it's much more accurate) and present them with an upgrade popup.
