Default Bitfield Permissions?

[Jaxel]

I have the following usergroup permissions file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

<bitfields product="medialibrary">
	<bitfielddefs>
		<group name="ugp">
			<group name="medialibperms">
				<bitfield group="medialibperms" name="canview" phrase="can_media_view" install="1,2,3,4,5,6,7">1</bitfield>

				<bitfield group="medialibperms" name="cansubm" phrase="can_media_subm" install="2,5,6,7">4</bitfield>
				<bitfield group="medialibperms" name="cancomm" phrase="can_media_comm" install="2,5,6,7">8</bitfield>
				<bitfield group="medialibperms" name="canrate" phrase="can_media_rate" install="2,5,6,7">16</bitfield>
				<bitfield group="medialibperms" name="canrepo" phrase="can_media_repo" install="2,5,6,7">32</bitfield>
			</group>
			<group name="medialibmodperms">
				<bitfield group="medialibmodperms" name="canmodsubm" phrase="can_media_mod_subm" install="5,6,7">1</bitfield>
				<bitfield group="medialibmodperms" name="canmodcomm" phrase="can_media_mod_comm" install="5,6,7">2</bitfield>
				<bitfield group="medialibmodperms" name="canmoddeta" phrase="can_media_mod_deta" install="6">4</bitfield>
				<bitfield group="medialibmodperms" name="canmodtags" phrase="can_media_mod_tags" install="6">8</bitfield>
				<bitfield group="medialibmodperms" name="canmodcats" phrase="can_media_mod_cats" install="6">16</bitfield>
				<bitfield group="medialibmodperms" name="canmodhost" phrase="can_media_mod_host" install="6">32</bitfield>
			</group>
		</group>
	</bitfielddefs>
</bitfields>

			<installcode><![CDATA[
				require_once(DIR . '/includes/class_dbalter.php');
				$dbalter = new vB_Database_Alter_MySQL($db);

				echo('<ul>');
				echo('<li>Altering Table <strong>usergroup</strong> ...');
				vbflush();

				$dbalter->fetch_table_info('usergroup');
				$dbalter->add_field(array('name'=>'medialibperms','type'=>'INT','length'=>'10','attributes'=>'UNSIGNED','null'=>false,'default'=>'0'));
				$dbalter->add_field(array('name'=>'medialibmodperms','type'=>'INT','length'=>'10','attributes'=>'UNSIGNED','null'=>false,'default'=>'0'));

				echo('Done!</li>');
				echo('</ul>');
				vbflush();
			]]></installcode>

As you can see, I am using the "install=" parameter to give permission to certain usergroups by default. In VB3x, this worked fine for me. However, I have determined that this parameter is no longer functioning as intended. Now it appears that none of my usergroups are getting any permissions by default. What am I doing wrong for VB4x?

Okay... update to this problem... I am using the following code in a plugin:

$perms['submit'] = ($permissions['medialibperms'] & $vbulletin->bf_ugp_medialibperms['cansubm']);

And then later in the plugin it calls for a template, and in that template I have the following:

<vb:if condition="$perms['submit']">
	<li><a href="{vb:raw href.submit}">{vb:phrase media_submit}</a></li>
</vb:if>

The template call works fine, as if I change the first line to code to the following, it successfully conditions the IF:

$perms['submit'] = true;

However, that means that the first line of code is inherently broken. The code works great in my PHP files, however in this plugin, it doesn't. I have global $permission set in the plugin, so there is no reason the permission shouldn't work. It works on MY forum, but it doesn't seem to work on everybody's. Is there something I am missing?

New update... the following code works...

$perms['submit'] =$vbulletin->bf_ugp_medialibperms['cansubm'];

Why does this part of the code fail? It doesn't fail on MY forum, but it fails on others.

$permissions['medialibperms']

Okay... another update

$perms['submit'] = $vbulletin->bf_ugp_medialibperms['cansubm']; ALWAYS RETURNS TRUE (not good)

So in order to get permissions to work, you MUST use:

$perms['submit'] = ($permissions['medialibperms'] & $vbulletin->bf_ugp_medialibperms['cansubm']);

Once again, works great on my forum... not working on some other people's forums... Is there a reason why?

Has anyone been able to figure this out for me? There are TWO different issues here...

[Neo_obs]

Did you ever get this working correctly? Does it still work on your forum but not on others?

Just wondering because I have the same issue and was wondering if maybe we can figure this out.

i actually tested the vb database alter code on my user table and it actually added medialibs
i'm thinking maybe its your vbflush() call because once i actually added those in my code the script stopped on that point.. i ran it on a debugger :P

i tested this on a separate vb page tho... i dont even know how vbflush works.. all the doc says is that it will output a buffer to the browser..
