Bukkit

Love to see a video for this.

Okay, apparently there was some sort of broken behavior with the first messages somebody sent me when I asked them to RSVP me.

NOW, new messages are working right and the /inbox command does work right without any parameters. I have no idea why the earlier messages didn't show up in the inbox but newer ones do. I now have two *different* inboxes. The inbox I see when I type:

/inbox ._Dunbaratu 1

contains older messages that do NOT show up when I type:

/inbox

while logged in as Dunbaratu.

So I think there was some buggy behavior the first time but it's not happening anymore.

The help text you get when you type "/mail" makes it look like all you have to type is either:

• /inbox

or

• /inbox <my name>

These don't work. The help text is very misleading. Could the syntax be changed so that they would work, or at least can the help text be changed so that it's showing the correct syntax?

Given how it works, the help text should be saying:

• /inbox <player_address> <page> (where local players' address are "._<player>")

Note, the page number is not optional either. I can't just type:

• /inbox ._Dunbaratu

like you showed in your post.

I must include the page number '1'.

Well it does work, but I have to make aliases with the BetterAlias plugin to make it usable.

Is this behavior normal or is it an indication that something is wrong?

Look at the following typed at the console:

>readmail 49
23:13:02 [INFO] [Mailings]                                                                    
23:13:02 [INFO] [Mailings] To: ._Dunbaratu          - From: Dunbaratu
23:13:02 [INFO] [Mailings] ID: 49                      - Read: false
23:13:02 [INFO] [Mailings] SendDate: 18.04.2013 - EndDate: 16.05.2013
23:13:02 [INFO] [Mailings] Type: ItemMail
23:13:02 [INFO] [Mailings] Message: test msg to self
23:13:02 [INFO] [Mailings]                                                                    
>inbox dunbaratu 1
23:13:03 [INFO] [Mailings] Dunbaratus Mail inbox: [1/1]
23:13:03 [INFO] [Mailings] Dunbaratus Mail inbox is empty. [1/1]

There is a user called Dunbaratu, who has an e-mail with ID 49 that has not been read. Yet when trying to show the inbox for user Dunbaratu, it claims the inbox is empty and it won't show the list of messages in the box. It is entirely possible that this is a version compatibility problem since my server is Bukkit-1.5.1-R0.1-21. Some old plugins work with 1.5 without updating and some don't so I thought I'd give this a try and see if it works. But since I never ran Mailings before today I can't tell if I am seeing an error or if I am just not understanding how the commands are supposed to work.

I want to use it as newssystem, so players can check for the latest serverupdates without getting spamed by automessages or motd at login. Now I wish for a possibility to create mails with an api or from website because it's realy hard to do it all time with ingamechat.
Thx for great plugin.
