How to make superadministrators easier

[legacy123]

This allows you to no longer use userids and use usernames for setting superadmins or admins that can edit other admins permissions.

1. go to admincp and edit file adminpermissions.php


find

PHP Code:

if (!in_array($vbulletin->userinfo['userid'], preg_split('#\s*,\s*#s', $vbulletin->config['SpecialUsers']['superadministrators'], -1, PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY)))
{ 


and replace with

PHP Code:

if (!in_array($vbulletin->userinfo['username'], preg_split

('#\s*,\s*#s', $vbulletin->config['SpecialUsers']

['superadministrators'], -1, PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY)))
{ 


then go to config.php

find

PHP Code:

//    ****** SUPER ADMINISTRATORS ******
    //    The users specified below will have permission to access the administrator permissions
    //    page, which controls the permissions of other administrators 


and make

PHP Code:

$config['SpecialUsers']['superadministrators'] = 'a username' 


everything else works same commas still separate names.
