Sorry, i know i sound like an idiot, but I think that i am just a little confused... the source is well done, but it still gets a little tough to read sometime you know?

Hi matt,

dont mess with the tables Tiki does that for you when you in the admingroups. All you need to do is create your perms via the tiki.sql or tiki upgrade sql files into the users_permissions table. just do a insert with the correct values.

Then you can assign your permission via the tiki interface and it go into the group tables etc.

On your source code you want to do something like

if ($tiki_p_matts_permission ne 'y') {
  $msg ="You cant come here"
 // call the error.tpl
}
//run the script

and thats all there is to the tiki perms system.

you only need to insert your perm into the users_permissions table and then tiki will see it and make it available to the adminGroups admin screen.
