ChestShop (iConomyChestShop)
Acrobot released his first Android game, would you mind giving it a go?
ChestShop
A simple, yet very powerful system for making physical shops using signs and chests.
It's never been that easy to create shops! With features like shop protection and anti-lag protection, you won't have to worry about your server's economy anymore!
"Just works"! ChestShop supports almost all economy plugins by using Vault!
(Versions above 3.9.2 also support economy plugins using the Reserve API)
Some known compatible and incompatible economy plugins.
Please check if there are newer development builds before reporting issues!
If you are upgrading from a previous version of ChestShop please make sure to always read the warnings in the file's changelog!
The plugin by default submits anonymous stats about your server (player count, plugin/server version and type) to a public statistics websites (mcstats.org and bstats.org) in order to provide the developers with usage information. If you wish to opt out, you can do so in the PluginMetrics/config.yml and bstats/config.yml files. It also features an auto-update feature, which can be turned off in the config.

Using shops
It's easy! Just right-click the sign to buy, left-click to sell. (You can configure the buttons in the config file!)
How to create a shop
Player shop
| Place a chest on the ground | |
| Place a sign 1 block away from the chest (for example, above it) | |
| On the sign, write: | ![]() |
| Leave the first line empty. It will be automatically filled with your name by the plugin (if you have the permission ChestShop.admin then you can create shops with the names of other players) | |
| Second line is the amount of items to buy or sell | |
|
Third line is a combination of buy and sell prices. You need to have a price indicator (like 'B' - price that will apply to items BOUGHT by PLAYERS - or 'S' - the SELL price) near the price - the prices are separated by a colon (:) |
Some of the possible price combinations: "B 5:5 S", "B 5", "S free" |
|
The forth line will hold the id/name of the item. Write ? on the sign and the item will be autofilled with the one from the chest or you can click on the sign with the item afterwards. Optionally you can put the actual name on it. You can find out the name of the item you're holding by doing /iteminfo |
|
| Resulting Shop | ![]() |
| A person can buy 64 diamonds for 10 dollars and sell them back for 5 dollars from Phoenix616 |
If you want you can also take a look at this video tutorial.
Admin Shop - shop with unlimited items
Firstly, you've got to be sure that you've the ChestShop.admin permission or that you are an OP. To make an Admin Shop, simply put "Admin Shop" (configurable in config.yml) on the first line of the sign when creating the shop. Admin Shops do not require a chest!

Posted Feb 10, 2012@XeonG8 Well, the idea behind all ChestShop versions (probably won't be applied in CS4) was not to have any database at all. Well, I guess I can store the location information.

Posted Feb 10, 2012How can someone find locations to where chestshops have been made including mainly adminshops....
Could chestshop not store that cordinate information (like in the transaction log) as it would be very useful for tracking down things without having to go through logblocks outdated and less than useful approach to sign tracing.

Posted Feb 9, 2012@kamakarzy Well, I see you don't have the HTML folder inside your ChestShop folder - you need to put at least sample files, found in the .zip, there.

Posted Feb 9, 2012@darkcloud784 Hmm... I must investigate this issue, because it seems like the database isn't written to in newer versions, thanks for the input.
@SERVERCONSOLE Well, I also don't know what really happened. Hmm... Is it possible to have non-plot block in town in Towny? Maybe it happened there.

Posted Feb 8, 2012Nothing being written website.html?
So for some reason my website.html is blank even though I have
GENERATE_STATISTICS_PAGE: true
The files I have the files given by you in this folder (row.html,footer.html, etc)
You can view the file here
http://173.208.192.114:8231/shops/
(this is a symlink from out apache folder to the website.html folder so it redirects without having to type in the full path.)
