Admin permission convention.

What the convention on creating new admin permissions?

Two mods i've written/am writing will need admin permissions. I was wondering what the convention for adding them was. (i've read the post found by searching custom admin permissions on here however it didn't really answer my questions...)

What do you mean by "convention"?

Here is the article: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=95918

bleh. Re-read the article, makes a bit more sense now.

I'd misunderstood it as it had used the field name customadminpermissions. Thought this was what you /had/ to use, this could obviously cause clashes between mods... ergo i was wondering what the convention for assigning the permissions was.

Now as i understand it, you can use any custom var name to store your admin perms in.

Pretty much.

It is always good practise to prefix all your variables etc.. with a modification specific prefix. This will avoid clashes between modifications (or future versions of the core vBulletin).

Personally i always use 'mh_XXX_'.

'mh' to make it unique to me.
'XXX' identification of the modification

i've gone and used the product id for the fields. Seemed logical.
