How do I call an integer setting?

I have
<bitfield intperm="true" name="tunez_votes" group="tunez_perm" phrase="tunez_votes"></bitfield>

And I have the value set to 1 in the usergroup permissions page.

But I can't seem to call it, any ideas?

Thank you for this article. It helps me a lot with a mod that I will be creating soon.

Does this work with 3.8.7, because it's not saving the value...

Can this documentation be used with vb4? Is this still valid??

I've used it in vB4 and haven't found any issues or errors. If your doing something sensitive I would wait for a definitive answer though.

Is there a vB4 version of this article?

please update it to vb4
