I start for about 25 years with an TI and learned Basic. Next was an Commodere 64, Amiga. On Amiga I learned Assembler and wrote some Games. Many years later again, I learned myself (without book ...) php,html and javascript. Then I wrote some small

I wrote this article 'cause I didn't found anything else but it was needed for mod I wrote.

Before I start - will have to say this is an example for a forumchooser.

In our product under options, create an option like this:
PHP Code:
<setting varname="your_setting_varname" displayorder="1">
 <datatype>free</datatype>
 <optioncode>multiselect:eval
$options = construct_forum_chooser_options(1);</optioncode>
 <defaultvalue>0</defaultvalue>
</setting> 
I'll use: multiselect:eval.

Ok, we finished our first part and need 2 new plugins.

The first plugin we used is admin_options_print.
PHP Code:
    <plugin active="1" product="yourproduct">
      <title>expand options for multiselect</title>
      <hookname>admin_options_print</hookname>
      <phpcode><![CDATA[if (preg_match ('#^(multiselect):(eval)(\r\n|\n|\r)(.*)$#siU', $setting['optioncode'], $matches))
{
 $options = null;
 eval ($setting['optiondata']);
 // this is for multiselect options
 $title = $description;
 $array = construct_forum_chooser_options (0);
 $selected = explode (',', $setting['value']);
 $name .= "[]";
 $htmlise = 0;
 $size = 10;
 $multiple = true;
 global $vbulletin;
 $uniqueid = fetch_uniqueid_counter ();
 $select = "<div id=\"ctrl_$name\"><select name=\"$name\" id=\"sel_{$name}_$uniqueid\" tabindex=\"1\" class=\"bginput\"" . iif($size, " size=\"$size\"") . iif($multiple, ' multiple="multiple"') . iif($vbulletin->debug, " title=\"name=&quot;$name&quot;\"") . ">\n";
 $select .= construct_select_options ($array, $selected, $htmlise);
 $select .= "</select></div>\n";
 print_label_row ($title, $select, '', 'top', $name);
 $handled = true;
}]]></phpcode>
    </plugin> 
See the code above and take a look at this three lines:
$array = construct_forum_chooser_options (0);
$selected = explode (',', $setting['value']);
$name .= "[]";
The 1st line are our options array, filled with information coming from the function "construct_forum_chooser_options(0)". If you wanna have your own, create an array with your options.
2nd line: our value (saved later in the options will implode by a comma like: 5,8,11,26,.. we need to explode this value to get the selected values back.
3rd line: this is needed for multiselect

The next plugin is called: admin_options_processing.
PHP Code:
<plugin active="1" product="yourproduct">
      <title>save our multiselect values</title>
      <hookname>admin_options_processing</hookname>
      <phpcode><![CDATA[
if (preg_match ('/multiselect/i', $oldsetting['optioncode']))
{
 if (is_array ($settings["$oldsetting[varname]"])) $settings["$oldsetting[varname]"] = implode (',', $settings["$oldsetting[varname]"]);
}]]></phpcode>
    </plugin> 
This plugin will implode our selected values with a comma.

Regards

A setting with datatype "bitfield" can create a group of checkboxes (multiselection) in vBulletin Options.

I didn't mean a forumchooser (Selectrow) or a multiple checkbox.

See image for the "multiselect field" what I mean.

The chooser code is great but i am unsure how to call it in a plug in, normally i'd have the user enter the forum id's and use something like $allowedforums = explode(",", $vbulletin->options['sens_forumid']);
if (in_array($threadinfo['forumid'], $allowedforums))
How do i use the information of the selected forums creating a multiselect like this?

I believe what you are after is something this.

Code:
    if(in_array($GLOBALS['forumid'], explode(',', $vbulletin->options['MY_OPTION_NAME'])))
    {
       Your Code Here
    }

It should, the code I provided, works in my mods that I have a forum chooser in options, via a multi select field.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_IF in /home/thecodec/public_html/forumz/showthread.php(112) : eval()'d code on line 31
