PHP Code:

if (is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, explode(',', $vbulletin->options['default_online_groups']))) 


Two totally different ways of checking, and both are legit, it just depends on how the coder who wrote the mod decided to do it.

Is it possible to code an option in the ACP to select between the two types of permission checks? Or would that cause a conflict in the code somewhere?

I realize it would almost double the code as you would have to do an "if such and such in the acp is checked use permissions a (or b)" for each option, which could be more of a hassle than it's worth.
