There are probably a couple of places you should do this. The first would be in newthread.php

There'll be a section like this:

PHP Code:

    if (!($forumperms & CANPOSTVBOOKIEEVENT))
    {
        unset($_POST['postvbookieevent']);
    } 


You could change that to something like:

PHP Code:

    if (!$bbuserinfo['userid'] != 126)
    {
        unset($_POST['postvbookieevent']);
    } 


Also:

PHP Code:

    if (($forumperms & CANPOSTVBOOKIEEVENT) && ($vbookiesettings['active'] != 0))
    {
        $show['vbookieevent'] = true;
    } 


To:

PHP Code:

    if (($bbuserinfo['userid'] == 126) && ($vbookiesettings['active'] != 0))
    {
        $show['vbookieevent'] = true;
    } 


That should hide the checkbox for adding a new event from everyone but the allowed user.

Then, in vbookie.php, find the section that starts:

PHP Code:

if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'newevent') 


Then, below that, find the lines:

PHP Code:

    if (!($forumperms & CANVIEW) OR !($forumperms & CANPOSTNEW) OR !($forumperms & CANPOSTVBOOKIEEVENT))
    {
        print_no_permission();
    } 


Change that to:

PHP Code:

    if (!($forumperms & CANVIEW) OR !($forumperms & CANPOSTNEW) OR !($bbuserinfo['userid'] == 126))
    {
        print_no_permission();
    } 


There will be a similar change to make in the section that starts:

PHP Code:

if ($_POST['do'] == 'postevent') 


Just search on 'CANPOSTVBOOKIEEVENT' to find the two locations.

I think that'd be enough, but it's just from my head and not tested in any way.
