Change Default vB Settings via Custom Mod

[Black Snow]

So I could do this then to make it possibly easier:

include_once("includes/adminfunctions.php");
include_once("includes/adminfunctions_options.php");

if(new_mod_setting_board_offline){
save_settings(array('bbactive' => 0));
}
if(new_mod_setting_board_online){
save_settings(array('bbactive' => 1));
}

EDIT: No, I wouldn't want to do that as it would then run on all pages unless there's and option or a way to only run it when settings are saved, right?

Right. Sorry, I'm going to tell you a different thing once again. But if you want your mod to have a setting that always has the same value as another (bbactive, for example), then I think you might be able to create a plugin using hook admin_options_processing and code like this:

if ($oldsetting['varname'] == 'bbactive')
   $settings['my_new_bbactive'] = $settings['bbactive'];
else if ($oldsetting['varname'] == 'my_new_bbactive')
   $settings['bbactive'] = $settings['my_new_bbactive'];

so that is either one is changed, the other is set to the same value (of course you'd change my_new_bbactive to whatever the varname of your new setting actually is).

I guess with this code, if someone changed both at the same time and saved, I'm not sure what would happen. If you think that's a problem you might want to check if both values are in the $setting array and have one take precedence or something.

I would not go around changing peoples settings they have set in the DB at all. I would just use this in my plugin.

PHP Code:

$vbulletin->options['bbactive'] = '1'; 


Otherwise if I disable your mod, it would still leave my board active, the way you are doing it.
