Field imghost definitely has nothing to do with this Hack, so this error is caused by another Hack.
=> Remove all Bitfield XMLs from Hacks you don't use (any longer) and rebuilt the bitfield cache.

Okay I know exacly what MOD is reponsable for this. I did uninstall it but it looks like it left some dirty code behind. Any idea how I can rebuild bitfield cache? I have a file called bitfield_rebuild.php but it won't run gives me an error. Is there another way?

[Andreas]

I don't know where bitfield_rebuild.php comes from, but it is not a standard file.
admincp/index.php?do=buildbitfields is the way to go.

This is now implemented in Version 1.0.7

First love the hack its exactly what Im looking for.

Question though, I have my groups that moderate set to be a public usergroup with a leader so they can hire new staffers and such, When they join the usergroup it sets them in the group as an additional usergroup. If i set them manuially your mod allows them to moderate as allowed However when they join a public usergroup using the system they dont have any powers. Why are the users not allowed to moderate? Is it the hack, the forum, or what is happening so that users cannot mod when joining a public group?

@ cynix2 the querys are done when the form is used that was given by kirby. I do agree however, that it would be a sweet thing considering I have 4 usergroups that would benefit from such a possibility

[Andreas]

Public Usergroup Management doesn't run through the Datamanagers, so the current Code doesn't catch that.
Support will be available in Version 1.0.8

[Andreas]

Support for moderated public Usergroups as Moderator Usergroups is now available in Version 1.0.8

Nice hack, but this code is kind of creepy:

   <if condition="$show[modgroup]">
   <if condition="$show[doshowmodgroup]">
   <a href="showgroups.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$moderator[usergrouptitle]</a>
   </if>
   <else />
   <a href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$moderator[userid]" rel="nofollow">$moderator[musername]</a>
   </if>

Cause what if I want to add both groups and single users to a certain forum?
I believe <if> allows that... Somehow:

   <if condition="$show[modgroup]">
   <if condition="$show[doshowmodgroup]">
   <a href="showgroups.php$session[sessionurl_q]">$moderator[usergrouptitle]</a>
   </if>
   <if condition="$show[doshowmodgroup] OR $show[doshowsinglemod]">, </if>
   <if condition="$show[doshowsinglemod]">
   <a href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$moderator[userid]" rel="nofollow">$moderator[musername]</a>
   </if>
   </if>

[Andreas]

My code is correct, yours isn't - you are opening 4 <if> but close only 3

[akanevsky]

It doesn't matter how many <if>'s I open and close, I am trying to get through the point that you could make it show both groups and users... Besides, I fxied it.
