Permission for specific Usergroup

[TheAdminMarket]

Hello,

Does anybody knows the syntax to get a specific permission for a specific usergroup (not for the active user).

eg the code below returns True/False for the Permission "Vote" in "Gallery" for the active user.

PHP Code:

if ($permissions['gallery'] & $vbulletin->bf_ugp['gallery']['vote'])
{
     echo 'Yes';
} else {
     echo 'No';
} 


I want the same but (eg) for Usergroupid 12

Thank you

Have you tried looking at the array:

PHP Code:

$vbulletin->usergroupcache[12]

Yes but it show the same value that I can retrieve from the database eg gallery => 3
I think that is something about "unserialize" but don't remember it. Have used it 5 years ago. Long time to remember it.

Ah, okay...I wish I could help further but I have never "unserialized" the numeric permissions values to get a particular sub-permission.

Hopefully someone here knows, as I would also be interested in knowing how that works.

They're bitfields, not serialized values, so if you have the permission number for a group (and it could very well be 3), then you can check it by using

PHP Code:

if ($vbulletin->usergroupcache[12]['gallery'] & $vbulletin->bf_ugp['gallery']['vote'])
{
   // they have vote permission
} 


I don't know if $vbulletin->usergroupcache[12]['gallery'] is right or not. It's not clear from what's posted above.
