Greeter
This project has been abandoned due to Bukkit shutting down. I hope to remake this plugin when the API comes out!
Development builds of this project can be acquired at the provided continuous integration server. These builds have not been approved by the BukkitDev staff. Use them at your own risk. http://tomdev.co.nf/greeter/development.html
Description
Description
Need a plugin that makes players feel good when they join? Well this plugin is your solution! When a player joins the game, this plugin will greet them with a public message. This is my first plugin, and I didn't want to start with something advanced, so I came up with this simple plugin which is also quite useful.
Features
Features
When a player joins, this plugin would say "Welcome back, user!". An image of how it looks like in-game is shown below:

Not sure what will be in this version yet!
0.2 Alpha
- A permission node (greeter.welcomeback) for the plugin to welcome back the player
- A permission node (greeter.welcome) for the plugin to welcome the player on first join
- A configuration file with the ability to change the welcome message

Thanks. Well I know the player wouldn't be able to see it, however everyone else would. I'll think about it.

I'll see what I can do, but it'll probably come in version 0.3 beta. I can't guarantee anything though, since I recently started developing Bukkit plugins. I'll consider it though.
Again, as I said, I recently started so there may be a delay between big updates. I have added first join messages to the to do list. Also, if you have Essentials I am pretty sure you can disable some commands. Alternatively, you could remove the welcome message from the MOTD, and it would still say the rest of whats in the MOTD.
I have also added your variable idea. I was thinking it should be formatted like this: {PLAYER} {TIME}, etc. I have also thought of an idea of MySQL support. By that I mean it would insert the welcome messages to a MySQL database, so you could have a list of joins in your server website.
Expect a 0.2 update some time next week, currently the feature is unknown. Please suggest, and your feature may be in 0.2. Thank you! :)

Posted Oct 20, 2013Hey! good plugin, simple, useful. Just one thing: Do you really think a goodbye message would be useful? Because if the player quits, he/she won't be able to see it, so...
