Blasted bitfields

[Chris M]

:p

Ah the days you could modify code...

Anyway:

// Get the Smilie Permissions for Users
if ($permissions['smiliepermissions'] & $vbulletin->bf_ugp['smiliepermissions']['cansmilielimit']) {
$vbulletin->options['maximages']= $vbulletin->bf_ugp['smiliepermissions']['smilieintset'];
}

I created a bitfield for smilie permissions to be set on a 'per usergroup' basis - Problem is I cannot get the code above to set the maximages based on the usergroup value :disappointed:

Any help? :p

I hate bitfields :p

If i understand you, you want to set a max number of smilies? A bitfield can only be true or false, no other values.

I believe you can set an integer value using bitfields :)

Never mind I got it working :)

No!
(unless you mean the integer representation of all combined permissions in that bitfield)

SatanMagic ?

They are called bitfields for a very good reason - they are one bit, 1 or 0, true or false. :)

Indeed - However in the .xml file you upload to the /includes/xml/ folder, if you add intperm="true" to the <bitfield> tag, it allows you to have an integer value in the specified area...

While technically this isn't a bitfield, it still is added the same way as one, and I was trying to figure out how to call it :p

I got it figured that it's:

$vbulletin->options['maximages']= $vbulletin->userinfo['permissions']['groupsmilielimit'];
