Usergoup Permissions are being controlled through XML files, you don't have to edit usergroup.php anymore

To create your own usergroup permissions, the first thing to do is to modify table usergroup (keep table prefixes in mind!):

[sql]ALTER TABLE usergroup ADD myhackpermissions INT( 10 ) UNSIGNED DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL ;[/sql]

If your hack does need some integer settings as well (and not just On/Off-Options):

[sql]ALTER TABLE usergroup ADD myhackintset INT( 10 ) DEFAULT '100' NOT NULL ;[/sql]

Then you must create a an XML-File bitfield_myhack.xml and place it in includes/xml:

HTML Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<bitfields product="vbulletin">
	<bitfielddefs>
		<group name="ugp">
			<group name="myhackpermissions">
				<bitfield name="canfoo" group="my_hack_permissions"  phrase="can_foo_forum" install="1,2,3,4,5,6,7">1</bitfield>
				<bitfield name="canbaa" group="my_hack_permissions"  phrase="can_baa_forum" install="">2</bitfield>
				<bitfield intperm="true" name="myhackintset" group="my_hack_permissions"  phrase="myhack_int_desc"></bitfield>
			</group>
		</group>
	</bitfielddefs>
</bitfields>
As you can see, you must create a new permission group below group ugp (short for usergroup permissions).

Parameter product of Tag bitfields should be the identifier of your Product

Paramater name of Tag group must match the column name in table usergroup.

The Parameters for Tag bitfield are:
  • name is the identifier you can use in your hack code (eg. $permissions['myhackpermissions'] & $vbulletin->bf_ugp['myhackpermissions']['canfoo'])
    In case of integer options this name must match the column name in table usergroup.
  • intperm indicates that this Option is a integer value
  • group is the varname for the Phrase that should be displayed as Permission Group Title.
    This is also being used to set up different Groups for your permissions.
  • phrase is the varname of the Phrase that should be displayed for this option in Usergroup Manager
  • install is a comma-separated list of the usergroups where this permission should be visible
    If this parameter is empty or omitted, this Option will be used for all Usergroups

The value of <bitfield> is the decimal value of the bit (eg. 1 for the first, 2 for the second, 4 for the third, and so on).
In case of an Integer Option this is the default value.

If you want to hide certain permission groups for some usergroups, for example from Guests as they don't make sense for them:

HTML Code:
<ignoregroups>
        <group name="myhackpermissions" ignoregroups="1" />
</ignoregroups>
Parameter name is the name of the permission group you want to hide, ignoregroups is a comma seperated list of usergoup IDs where this permission group should not show up.
Place this section below the <bitfielddefs>-Section.

Now create the necessary phrases (in Phrasegroup Permissions) at this point.

As vBulletin caches Bitfields in Datastore, you must rebuild this cache before the new usergroup permissions can be actually used (They will already show up in Usergroup Manager, but cannot be saved - you will get an error).
To do so, point your browser to admincp/index.php?do=buildbitfields.

You can also use the following Code (in a Custom Installer or Install-Code of a Product) to update the Bitfield Cache:
PHP Code:
if (is_newer_version('3.5.1'$vbulletin->options['templateversion']))
{
    
// Rebuild Bitfields
    // Do this for vBulletin < 3.5.1 *ONLY*; later versions rebuild
    // automatically and calling the builder in install code causes
    // the bitfields NOT to be rebuild correctly
    
require_once(DIR '/includes/class_bitfield_builder.php');
    
vB_Bitfield_Builder::save($db);
    
build_forum_permissions();

If you install/upgrade vBulletin and custom bitfield_xxx.xml files are already in place, they will be used - you don't have to update the Bitfield Cache in this case.

Can you make a specific user be allowed to use html?

If so, how?

EDIT: hey, I have an idea, could I make a secondary usergroup that has it enabled, put the desired user as secondary usergroup for it, but have him display as his primary one?

Will that work? If not.....what will?

sorry guys...wrong thread. rofl...

Yes it will work, if the primary usergroup does allow membergroups.

I got the same error someone else got about the escape strings

In the product I have I put that "Rebuild Bitfields" script Andreas wrote

Code:
<plugins>
		<plugin active="1">
			<title>Testimonialss</title>
			<phpcode><![CDATA[ // Rebuild Bitfields
require_once(DIR . '/includes/class_bitfield_builder.php');
vB_Bitfield_Builder::save($db);
$myobj =& vB_Bitfield_Builder::init();

$groupinfo = array();

for ($x = 1; $x < 9; $x++)
{
    $groupinfo["$x"]['mypermissions'] = 0;
}

foreach ($myobj->data['ugp']['mypermissions'] AS $permtitle => $permvalue)
{
    if (empty($permvalue['group']))
    {
        continue;
    }

    if (!empty($permvalue['install']))
    {
        foreach ($permvalue['install'] AS $gid)
        {
            $groupinfo["$gid"]['mypermission'] += $permvalue['value'];
        }
    }
}

foreach ($groupinfo AS $usergroupid => $permissions)
{
    $db->query_write("UPDATE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "usergroup SET mypermissions=$permissions[mypermissions] WHERE usergroupid=$usergroupid");
}
build_forum_permissions();]]></phpcode>
		</plugin>
	</plugins>
I don't know if I plugins can be used without a hook so maybe that's my problem.

Here's my bitfield
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<bitfields product="testimonials">
	<bitfielddefs>
		<group name="ugp">
			<group name="testimonials">
			<bitfield name="can_mod_testimonials" group="testimonials_permissions" phrase="can_mod_testimonials" install="">1</bitfield>
			</group>
		</group>
	</bitfielddefs>
</bitfields>

You must use the Code as Product install Code.

It was in a product but removed the plugin tags around it.

when I upload the product I get this error

Code:
### INSERT QUERY GENERATED BY fetch_query_sql() ###
INSERT INTO plugin
	(`active`, `value`, `product`)
VALUES
	('1', '\r\n		', 'testimonials-Harmor19');

MySQL Error  : Unknown column 'value' in 'field list'

Did you create the product XML by hand?
There is almost no chance the product manager would generate smth. like that ...

Hi, this is the XML I'm trying to use:

Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<bitfields product="vBulletin">
	<bitfielddefs>
		<group name="ugp">
			<group name="charlimit">
				<bitfield name="isexempt" group="post_thread_permissions"  phrase="exempt_from_char_limit"></bitfield>
			</group>
		</group>
	</bitfielddefs>
</bitfields>
On save, it says "Warning: mysql_real_escape_string() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in /includes/class_core.php on line 635... why?
