I am having alot of trouble integrating vBulletin with aMember, basically of two reasons: - How do I create custom vBulletin usergroups with custom permissions, so that I can put users into them using aMember, so that it doesn't reset and revert when I rebuild the DB. - Linked to my first question, how do I give users useradmin powers in vBulletin in amember, so that it doesn't revert when I rebuild the DB. I can do it via Vbulletin, but it will revert back to standard usergroups once I rebuild the db in aMember. Any help would be appreciated, I contacted amember help desk, but well.. you know.. I would even consider paying for the help... since I already invested so much for amember
Hey I noticed that happened to me a couple of times too.... Every couple of months or so I need to login to vbulletin and change my own username to a supermod so I can moderate my forum. I'll subscribe to this thread. -Scott
Well, yea, it's really annoying if you have lots of moderators, and you actually need custom permissions for each of them... it resetting everytime you rebuild db is really annoying. I contacted amember helpdesk, but I don't think they have a clue... which I find kinda 'disappointing' considering the price we paid for the script.
I take back what I said about the aMember Support Staff, they turned out to be quite helpful on this matter. Anyway; the way to solve this problem is to; Not really sure the exact that needs to be modified, but since they modified it, I can put users into every usergroup in vB, including hidden groups like superadmins
vbulletin3.inc.php Replacing: $q = @mysql_query("SELECT usergroupid, title FROM {$this->config['db']}usergroup WHERE adminpermissions <= 0 AND usergroupid > 1",$this->db->conn); with this: $q = @mysql_query("SELECT usergroupid, title FROM {$this->config['db']}usergroup WHERE usergroupid > 1",$this->db->conn); seems to do the trick.
