Admin/Mod CP Permissions question

[Club3G]

Hi all,

I have several supermods on my site that I allow limited control panel permisisons (users, calendars, etc).

The problem that I'm having is that any of the hacks I have installed don't seem to check the permissions, so in their admincp menu, they get the vbulletin options that I allow them, plus the dropdowns for all of my installed hacks.

How can I set a permission check so that the menus aren't displayed for anyone other than "real" administrators for the added menus?

Or, shorter question if nobody knows offhand - what's the name of the admin panel menu template?

Thanks!

The ACP doesn't use Templates at all.
If you want to introduce custom admin permissions, several steps are necessary:

1. Edit init.php array $_BITFIELD['usergroup']['adminpermissions'] to include the new permissions.
   To avoid problems with new vBulletin versions using the same bits for other permissions I suggest to use 2^31 first, then 2^30 and so on
2. In admincp/index.php wrap all custom navgroups with:
   
   PHP Code:

   if (can_administer('canadminhack1'))
{
// Navigation stuff for Hack1 here
} 

3. Edit all Hacks CP files to include
   
   PHP Code:

   if (!can_administer('canadminhack1'))
{
print_cp_no_permission();
} 

   at the top (after calling global.php)

or as an alternative, you could suround them with an if using an existing permission that they don't have.

Yep, this would also be an option.
