vb.org Archive - Need Custom usergroup for custom vb page

Hello everyone, does anyone know where I can find or has any documentation on how to create a new usergroup permissions with vbulletin 4 without editing usergroup.php? Basically I used this thread https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=228112 to create my own custom vb page but now I want to add permissions to this page; such as "can view xxx" "or can access xxx" in the regular usergroup permissions as where all the rest are. I found this thread for vb3 https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=82844 but I am not sure if that still applies for vb4 and there are no articles in the vb4 section that says anything about usergroup permissions in custom pages (if there is I missed it). If anyone has any ideas as to where I might find some info please let me know. Thank you for your time.

OK. So after reading that vb3 thread I think I have a handle on the situation. Not sure though if that thread is still valid for vb4, but any-who here it goes; please correct me if I am wrong.

First I have to run a query to modify the usergroup database table; I'll use this:

Code:

ALTER TABLE usergroup ADD oftw_permissions INT( 10 ) UNSIGNED DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL ;

Then I have to create the xml file like so:

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

<bitfields product="vbulletin">

        <bitfielddefs>

                <group name="ugp">

                        <group name="oftw_permissions">

                                <bitfield name="canview" group="oftw_permissions"  phrase="can_view_oftw" install="1,2,3,4,5,6,7">1</bitfield>

                        </group>

                </group>

        </bitfielddefs>

</bitfields>

Then I rebuild the bitfield.

My question is would this then create the permission:

Can view oftw? I don't want to try it out yet to not mess up the database (I am running this in a test environment but still want to make sure what I am doing) so if anyone sees something off or incorrect PLEASE let me know.
