Try this...

1. AdminCP > Plugins & Products > Plugin Manager
   
2. From the list look for:
   

   Lucky admin_options_processing [Edit] [Delete]

3. Click [Edit].
   
4. Change the PHP Code (the bit in the big box) to:
   
   PHP Code:

   if (is_array($settings['lucky_group']))
{
    $settings['lucky_group'] = implode(',', $settings['lucky_group']);
} 


It should work, I hope.

Thank you. Unfortunately it still redirects to the smiley list.

Make sure you re-save the settings for the modification in vBulletin Options. It works for me on 3.7.1

[binevi]

<defaultvalue>2,5,6,7</defaultvalue> that gives permission to some usergroup

what i done is i put all the usergroups number and save it and than import is as a product.

try to install attachment if it doesnt work i cant say anything else ;D

anyway it works for me properly

[Opserty]

binevi did you try the instructions I provided? If you did, did they work? (Your method won't allow you to change settings for this product in future).

There is an error in the code in one of the plugins.

Edit the 'misc_start' code within the plugin manager and replace with this:

PHP Code:

if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'lucky')
{
if ($vbulletin->options['lucky_onoff'])
{
$wol_can_view = is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo,explode(',',$vbulletin->options['lucky_group'])) ? true : false;
if ($wol_can_view)
{
$excludedforums = '';
if ($vbulletin->options['lucky_forum'] !== '') {
    $excludedforums = ',' . $vbulletin->options['lucky_forum'];
} 

$forumpermissions = array();
foreach($vbulletin->forumcache AS $forum) {

    $forumpermissions[$forum["forumid"]] = fetch_permissions($forum['forumid']);

    if (!($forumpermissions[$forum["forumid"]] & $vbulletin->bf_ugp_forumpermissions['canview']) AND !$vbulletin->options['showprivateforums'])  {
        $excludedforums = $excludedforums . ',' . $forum['forumid'];
    }
}
unset($forum);

// get rid of initial comma
$excludedforums = substr($excludedforums, 1);

if ($excludedforums != "") {
    $excludedforums = "AND " . TABLE_PREFIX . "thread.forumid NOT IN ($excludedforums)";
}

$lucky_threads = $db->query_first("SELECT threadid, dateline, visible FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "thread WHERE NOT ISNULL(threadid) AND visible = '1' $excludedforums ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 1");
header('Location: showthread.php?t='.$lucky_threads['threadid']);
}
}
} 


If you want to know what I've changed, you'll see a new " . TABLE_PREFIX . " contained within this section of code

if ($excludedforums != "") {
    $excludedforums = "AND " . TABLE_PREFIX . "thread.forumid NOT IN ($excludedforums)";
}

I hope this helps someone
