Fetching forum permissions

[Chris M]

This is driving me mad

It will not set the $limitfids variable, and I cannot for the life of me figure out why

PHP Code:

// #################### PROCESS LATEST THREADS #######################
// fetch the permissions for each forum
global $vbulletin;

$forumperms = array();
foreach($vbulletin->forumcache AS $forum) {

    $forumperms[$forum["forumid"]] = fetch_permissions($forum['forumid']);

    // ## HIDE FORUMS WITHOUT THE CANVIEW PERMISSION ##
    if ((!$forumperms[$forum["forumid"]] & $vbulletin->bf_ugp_forumpermissions['canview']) AND !$vbulletin->options['showprivateforums']) {
        $limitfids .= ','.$forum['forumid'];
    }
}
unset($forum);

PHP Code:

    if ((!$forumperms[$forum["forumid"]] & $vbulletin->bf_ugp_forumpermissions['canview']) AND !$vbulletin->options['showprivateforums']) { 


Try:

PHP Code:

    if (!($forumperms[$forum["forumid"]] & $vbulletin->bf_ugp_forumpermissions['canview']) AND !$vbulletin->options['showprivateforums']) {

You're a genius

I've been trying every combination of code I can think of relating to permissions, and it comes down to the placement of the ! and the bracket -.-

That is why it helps if you show it to someone 'fresh'.

You get blind for the obvious after staring at code for a while.

Now you can go help me with my tri-state checkbox.

Yeh - I figured it couldn't hurt for a fresh pair of eyes to take a look at something

Usually you look so hard you ignore the tiniest mistakes and are thinking it must be something wrong with the whole chunk of code

Anyway, thanks again

Edit: I've taken a look at that thread actually

I'm not sure what help I can be but I'll start googling for solutions

Google didn't brought me the solution.
