Rebuild Bitfield?
 

I have vbulletin 3.7 and a userbar hack asks to restore my bitfields. I seem to have forgotten. Can someone help me?:confused:

It should be under vBulletin Options in your Admin CP.

It doesnt seem to be there

I can't remember this exactly, but if you go:

AdminCP > Usergroups > Usergroup Manager > For any usergroup select "Edit Usergroup" > On the next page just scroll to the bottom and hit save.

That should rebuild them.

Ah, you are right. It only shows up there is you have debug mode turned on.

how could i possibly turn the debug on?

Edit config.php and add under <?php: $config['Misc']['debug'] = true;

what do i add?

Edit: I mean where do i put the code? After what?

Don't think you need to activate debug mode, just enter this url
http://FORUMROOT/admincp/index.php?do=buildbitfields

/SK

Ah ty so much it said Rebuild bitfields! Wait. It said rebuild i need restore

He explained in his post:
He's saying add "$config['Misc']['debug'] = true;" (no quotes around the line) after "<?php" in the config file.
Yep, I knew there was another way but couldn't remember the link and was too lazy to go figure it out. And, I believe Opserty posted the easiest method to do this.

I have never heard of "restoring bitfields" are you sure you read it correctly? I haven't come across an option or anything of the like. Maybe you need to upload some bitfield_..xml fields or something?

It would probably be best for you to post in the modification thread for more precise assistance.

Finally, it is not recommended that you enable debug mode on a live site for long periods of time.

If you do not wish to remember to add index.php?do=buildbitfields to your url
here is a neat little XML file which adds "Rebuild Bitfields" under vbulletin options.

Just upload it to includes/xml

I cannot remember where I found it or I would give credit,
but I use it at every vbulletin forum I administer.
EDIT- I believe that I found the source:

It is from way back in version 3.5.3 but is still up to date for all new versions.

There really shouldn't be any reason to rebuild your bitfields.
