AShops
Version 2.3 is now available!
AShops allows players to sell and buy items with a chest. Unlike many other shop plugins, it doesn't use signs to represent a shop offer. Instead, it uses chest inventories and item descriptions and thereby makes possible to sell or buy (or both) items of different types using only a single chest. It means less chests and time spent on creating shops. Using description as an offer details source makes shopping also more friendly than reading a raw text from a sign, and by representing an offer as a real item, not only it is easier to find what you need, but it also allows you to sell/buy the exact item you have in your inventory, with all data it contains.


(prepared by Lambert from Bosnia and Herzegovina)
What's new in 2.0?
- New shop interface! You don't have to use commands anymore. (see the next section for more info)
- Transaction notifications work even when a shop owner is offline.
- + old features: income taxes, shops limits, minimal price limits, server shop account.
How to use the new interface?
- To create a new shop you have to place a chest and attach a sign to it or above it. For a player shop set first line to :as:, for a server shop: :ass:.
- To manage your shop (add offer, open/close it, remove it) shift-right-click on the sign and use menu icons. Read icon descriptions for more info on manager options.
- To sell/buy items from other players' shops left click on a shop sign and then on an item you want to buy/sell. Read icons' descriptions for more info on trade options.
- To load/collect items from/to your shop left click on a shop sign and then on an offer's icon. If you manage other players' shops or server shops, you will have to use a right mouse button to manage an offer.
- You still can use commands to create and manage shops. Use /ashops command to list all available commands.
How to install this plugin?
- Place AShops.jar file in the /plugins/ folder.
- Set database to MySQL in the bukkit.yml file in a server main directory.
database: username: userName isolation: SERIALIZABLE driver: com.mysql.jdbc.Driver password: databasePassword url: jdbc:mysql://hostName/databaseName
- Make sure you set the following properties to the correct values: username, password, url.

To the Users of previous versions
AShops 2.0 is not backward compatible. We changed a database system to more reliable one and now we have to use other structure of tables. AShops doesn't support a flat files storage system anymore - now it works only with MySQL databases and, hopefully, it will support SQLite soon. All features that used WorldEdit will be released as a separate file.

When I started to code AShops 2 using Bukkit tools for databases, I was sure that they support SQLite. I tested simple queries and it worked fine. When I was done with the plugin, I switched from MySQL to SQLite and it turned out that it doesn't work for more advanced database schemes - however it was not what one could expect from this database tool.

Currently there are no videos about version 2.0 and new user interface. There was some videos about previous version but these are autdated now. We are waiting for videos made by ashops users. Maybe Austin (or maybe I) will do something soon too :)

Oh, right :3 my bad. I put all of the info in and its working perfectly now, thank you :D [darn that new menu is awesome! no need to constantly write commands. GJ!!!], Can you make it so if someone clicks he wants to buy x2 items and he got enough money only for 1, it wont buy it but just display the message it is displaying now? and an option to make an item offer you buying it only once? and not up to 9? :)

Do you have Vault and any economy plugin in your /plugins folder? If you use /plugins command can you see "ashops" on the list? If yes, have it red color? Do you have any error log?
@DeGariless
Thank you :)
