2) Do you mean when you add an option? You can call it in any file with global.php included using $vboptions[varname]

I mean when you add a custom usergroup field ... heres that part of the code:
In AdminCP/usergroup.php

	print_table_header("Download Permissions");
	print_yes_no_row("Can Download Files? <dfn>Allows usergroup to download from the downloads section?</dfn>", 'usergroup[candownload]', $ug_bitfield['candownloadfiles']);
	print_yes_no_row("Can Manage Files?<dfn>Allows usergroup to manage files in the downloads section<br>Set individual permissions below...</dfn>", 'usergroup[canmanagefiles]', $ug_bitfield['canmanagefiles']);
	print_table_break();

above

above print_table_header($vbphrase['forum_viewing_permissions']);

I also modded init.php and added the following:
1) added downloadpermissions to special templates array
2) added a to the switch statement in $storeitems (the vboptions array)
3) added $_BITFIELD['downloadpermissions']

3) I'm not sure about that, even though I think so. Why not add it as a custom profile field. Those are available for sure ($bbuserinfo[fieldX]).

Sounds like a plan, how do I go about doing that. Btw, i want this to be hidden from the user... not editable. (it counts their downloads, uploads, stores their latest file downloaded, ect.).

For this I will need to know two things:
1) how to create it
2) how do edit it

VB seems very coder friendly once you learn it, but I just need to learn all the built in functions

I dont know whats with the mods here, but they just like moving things around. This is a question about coding not about functioning/functionality.
