Alrighty folks, found the problem for those of you running 3.0.7 or 3.0.8 like I am on a lot of my forums. I was having serious problems with my vbgarage permissions changing constantly for my various usergroups. Hope this helps...

The instructions tell you edit INIT.PHP like this:

PHP Code:

    #######################
        'caneditownusernotes'      => 131072,
    // START VBGARAGE HACK
        'canvbgarage'              => 262144
    // END VBGARAGE HACK
    ####################### 


BUT They must have added the reputation system somewhere between 3.0.0 and 3.0.7 because 'canvbgarage' is not the last line before the );

So, what worked for me is this:

PHP Code:

    'canseehiddencustomfields' => 262144,  
//  Originally you had to place 'canvbgarage' before the above line.
//Drop down about 10 lines and add it to the end of the reputation lines like this.


    // Reputation

    'canseeownrep'             => 256,
    'canuserep'                => 524288,
    'canhiderep'               => 1048576,
    'cannegativerep'           => 2097152,
    'canseeothersrep'          => 4194304,
    'canhaverepleft'           => 8388608,
    // START VBGARAGE HACK
    'canvbgarage'              => 16777216
    // END VBGARAGE HACK
); 


Notice that the number is double the previous reputation number(I dont know what the purpose of this is, but thats the pattern)

Hope this helps. I looked forever in these threads and I could not find anything clear. Just little bits and pieces. I hope this is a little easier to understand.

Thanks for this great hack,

Lem
