How are forum options stored in vb3

[Sc0rp]

well im trying to add a new option but I cant figure out where in the world vb3 stores its options..

been looking for half an hour now and still nothin, some help would be appreciated

[Zachery]

they are stored in init.php as a bitwise option, if you want to add a new one you need to add the next bitwise value (double the last one)

thanks a lot for ur help mate here and on irc.. appreciate it! everthing should be working like a charm now

hmm okay still reading about this bitwise thing, but still cant figure out where vbulletin actually updates the forum options for the current functions. I see the 'options' row in the 'forum' table holds a certain number everywhere, im guessing that php can calculate it into the values for each options somehow but I dunno how to update it nor where vbulletin does it.. =\

any ideas?

Well check the adminfunctions_forums and the admincp/forums

thanks once again
