What is a bitfield collision error?

[bigtime]

Here is an error I get when trying to import a product:

A conflict was detected in the bitfields. You cannot continue with the installation of this product until this has been fixed. The conflicts found were:

    * Bitfield Collision: canadminvbgooglemaphse = canadminvbjournal

What is that and how do I fix it?

Thanks,

Tim

Has anybody a solution to this problem?

[Romeos Tune]

I am getting the problem too.

Bitfield Collision: can_view_ratestats = can_see_whorated_others Can't believe nobody has a solution?

[Paul M]

The solution is for the product authors to fix the problem in thier bitfields.

I'm getting this as well trying to add another hack:

* Bitfield Collision: canadminvbjournal = canadminvbgooglemap

I've uninstalled vbJournal and the google map hack and I'm still getting it.

Someone above said to inport a vbulletin bitfield xml, would this fix it? What else would it change? Other hacks?

TIA

Nevermind I found that I needed to delete the xml files from ./includes/xml/bitfield_<product>.xml to complete remove the old hacks

That's the same thing I did - deleted the bitfield_vbjournal and bitfield_vbgooglemapme from the includes/xml folder and I was allowed to install a product.
