Custom Permissions for 2.0.2

[bigjoe11a]

I thought i could add my own permissions. How ever as a lot of you thought. It didn't work.

I been reading threw this
http://wiki.simplemachines.org/smf/Adding_custom_permissions

and well it says to look for this
// This is just a helpful array of permissions guests... cannot have.

and that line doesn't exists in the ManagePermissions.php. So now what do I do.

I'm so lost on this. PLEASE.

I think that could be for 1.x.

Take a look at this topic for 2.0.

Yes, That's the one I was reading yesterday and I just can't under stand it. I was hoping to find some thing that I could under stand.

[bigjoe11a]

Kays, When I install a MOD, Is there an option that I can add that can detect if another mod is installed. I just don't under stand this. I that's where I thinking about your custom permissions mod. It would have me a lot of coding.

[Arantor]

There's no way of making it simpler to understand than I did in that tutorial.

[bigjoe11a]

Well I been reading a lot sense yesterday and all the tutorials I have read, I don't under stand. So like I said. I'll have to come up with another idea.

Thanks Arantor

If this is to be for your personal use only then adding permissions by using the mod is the easy way out.

But if you do plan on eventually releasing this as a mod. Then it's best to add that up front rather than trying to add it later. Either look at where the custom permission mod makes it's changes. Or look at my Member NotePad mod. That should get you started in the right direction.

Well if I could under stand it. Yes it would be better. Then again I don't think any one would take that kind of time out to show me how to do it.

[Arantor]

I'm sorry but I don't see what more help we can give you other than being given exactly how to do what you want (i.e. someone doing it for you completely anyway)

[bigjoe11a]

Well no, I just need some thing that has some thing better that explains it better. Some thing simple so that I can under stand it. See let me try and explain this, Ok. After looking at it. It has all kinds of permissions that I can add. How ever it doesn't tell me how to add permissions for my mod. Sense my mod has nothing to do with any thing in the 2 lists that are on the tutorial.

What I need to too add 4 permissions for groups. I guess sense it's the only thing that would work.

Look at this
'do_something' => array(false, 'something', 'something_opts'),
This tells me nothing. Why. I don't under stand like I would this

allowedTo('bjblog_can_view'); //This I under stand. or could it be some thing like this

'bjblog_can_view' => array(false, 'bjblog', 'bjblog_opts'),

Do you know why I'm so lost at this. See your looking at it like a Pro. What about users who have never done this before... ?
Most of the time I just don't under stand what I read and I can read it 100's of times and still not under stand what I read...

So until I can get some one to show me how to add my permissions and show me how to add them to the Admin Groups pages. I'm stuck.

How ever it doesn't tell me how to add permissions for my mod. Sense my mod has nothing to do with any thing in the 2 lists that are on the tutorial.

So you want something that isn't a general permission or a per-board permission, like you already said some time ago and I already told you that SMF doesn't have what you want.

How ever it doesn't tell me how to add permissions for my mod. Sense my mod has nothing to do with any thing in the 2 lists that are on the tutorial.

You have to read a *little further down the page*

That tutorial that Kays links to explains what every single item does.

Do you know why I'm so lost at this.

Yes, because you can't read what's in front of you.

See your looking at it like a Pro. What about users who have never done this before... ?

Don't forget, I wasn't a pro when I started doing this. I figured it out by studying the code, and then writing a tutorial about it.

Most of the time I just don't under stand what I read and I can read it 100's of times and still not under stand what I read...

Mostly because it seems like you read the first paragraph and give up. That tutorial explains it all in depth. But since it might not be what you want, or the fact that it isn't written specifically for your personal needs, it won't be suitable for you.

[bigjoe11a]

Well go a head and think what ever you want. That's find with me.
