Can anyone suggest a module that will determine Operation System of the visitor and then display content based on the result?

eg: If Window X is determined, then display category Windows Software. If Mac is determined, show Apple software first.

I know this can be done with a JavaScript function or PHP variable to get 'HTTP_USER_AGENT'.

don't know of any module off the top of my head - but you can do this

Then when you create your view - use an embed tag for the display that goes with each browser.

You may be able to do this with Mobile Tools and Browser Cap.

Not quite what I'm looking for. A perfect example is on the SourceForge website, look under the search "By default, we'll show you software that runs on X"

Again - I don't think you are going to be happy with any module that exists for this - instead you could do something like this.

<?php
    $OSList = array
    (
            // Match user agent string with operating systems
            'Windows 3.11' => 'Win16',
            'Windows 95' => '(Windows 95)|(Win95)|(Windows_95)',
            'Windows 98' => '(Windows 98)|(Win98)',
            'Windows 2000' => '(Windows NT 5.0)|(Windows 2000)',
            'Windows XP' => '(Windows NT 5.1)|(Windows XP)',
            'Windows Server 2003' => '(Windows NT 5.2)',
            'Windows Vista' => '(Windows NT 6.0)',
            'Windows 7' => '(Windows NT 7.0)',
            'Windows NT 4.0' => '(Windows NT 4.0)|(WinNT4.0)|(WinNT)|(Windows NT)',
            'Windows ME' => 'Windows ME',
            'Open BSD' => 'OpenBSD',
            'Sun OS' => 'SunOS',
            'Linux' => '(Linux)|(X11)',
            'MacOS' => '(Mac_PowerPC)|(Macintosh)',
            'QNX' => 'QNX',
            'BeOS' => 'BeOS',
            'OS/2' => 'OS/2',
            'Search Bot'=>'(nuhk)|(Googlebot)|(Yammybot)|(Openbot)|(Slurp)|(MSNBot)|(Ask Jeeves/Teoma)|(ia_archiver)'
    );

    // Loop through the array of user agents and matching operating systems
    foreach($OSList as $CurrOS=>$Match)
    {
            // Find a match
            if (eregi($Match, $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']))
            {
                    // We found the correct match
                    break;
            }
    }
    if($CurrOS == 'MacOS') {
        print views_embed_view('myview', 'maclist');
    }
?>

Know what I mean?

i know it's been too long, but i also need a solution with this task.

it's ok until "// We found the correct match" but what happens after that?

i mean after "if($CurrOS == 'MacOS')" what could be written to give it a straight url, rather than a views solution?

and where is this code used? in page.tpl?

sorry for being such a newbie... but i really would like this redirection to be functioning in my site's frontpage, for mac os, windows, linux, freebsd and mobile operating systems.
