Bitfield help

[Artistichaven]

I created two custom bitfields

<group name = "serverstuff">
<bitfield name="isserverstaff" group="server_stuff" phrase="is_server_staff">1</bitfield>
<bitfield name="isbetatester" group="server_stuff" phrase="is_beta_tester">2</bitfield>
</group>

The issue is isserverstaff gets saved in serverstuff, and isbetatester does not get saved at all.

I think you want different values for those, like instead of making them both '1' make the second one '2'.

Oh woops! I did that, it's still not saving the value.

Edit:
Correction, it does work. The bitfields had just not been rebuilt. Now I just don't know how to call on each bitfield independently, any help there?

[Artistichaven]

Does anyone have any idea on how to make each bitfield save separately so that I can call on them individually?

[kh99]

I'm not sure what you're doing exaclty - how are you trying to save them?

I'm not doing anything but the bitfields... :erm:

It has been nearly a week. Any ideas?

Sorry to be a hassle, but I need this solved. If anyone knows, it would be greatly appreciated.

I'll try to help you figure it out, but I don't understand what you're doing. What exactly are you doing with the xml in the first post, and what do you mean by "making them save"?

Basically if you click yes to 'isserverstaff' then 'serverstuff' adds one to itself for that usergroup. But if you click 'isbetatester' then 'serverstuff' adds two to itself. Meaning that if I try and call on 'serverstuff' the current way I cannot have the 'isbetatester' field because I call on it with something like $permissions['serverstuff']. I want to be able to check if the person isserverstaff, not just serverstuff. Make more sense?

[kh99]

if ($permissions['serverstuff'] & 1)
// isserverstaff

if ($permissions['serverstuff'] & 2)
// isbetatester



You didn't say exactly where you added your xml, but I think you should be able to do something like this code (which obviously checks forumpermissions):
$permissions['forumpermissions'] & $vbulletin->bf_ugp_forumpermissions['canview']


by replacing 'bf_ugp_forumpermissions' with whatever is appropriate for your bitfields, that way you're not hard-coding the values.
