<bitfield name="allow_bbcode_admin" group="advanced_bbcode_permissions" phrase="allow_bbcode_admin">1024</bitfield>

<bitfield name="allow_bbcode_mod" group="advanced_bbcode_permissions" phrase="allow_bbcode_mod">2048</bitfield>

Save that. Then open the product-advancedbbcodepermissions.xml file and add these two lines:

<phrase name="allow_bbcode_admin"><![CDATA[[ADMIN]]]></phrase>
<phrase name="allow_bbcode_mod"><![CDATA[[MOD]]]></phrase>

Save that file.

Then install the Advanced permissions product as per the instructions and you can then use that to control permissions to the new "admin" and "mod".

(Word of warning - I can't at the moment test this but it should work!)

I am trying to work on a way to get permissions for custom bbcodes.

Isn't that then using going to use the new bitcodes that we defined to control these new tags. And my extension to your hack then lets you switch them on and off in the admincp (and that seems to does work).

What I was trying to do was add setting those bits to your script so that they can be toggled in the admincp in your hack.

I would not recommend adding to vb bitfields for 2 reasons.
1) What if vb added to it?
2) What if another coder addes to it? Best no coders add to it.

Are you making progress in getting this to work without this type of hack?
