That's it. Now right-click the first sign to be teleported.
You can also place more signs to be teleported from, just label them similar.

Bugfixing
- You're plugin is not working!
It works. Believe it. - I get errors!
Destroy the portals, delete the 'SignPortals' folder and try it again :)
For errors, use the ticket-function please.
Don't just write "XYZ is not working. HELP ME!"
How do I ... ?
All files are stored in the "plugins\PortalSigns\" folder.
- ... reset my portals?
First delete all portals ingame and then delete the "Portal.PS" file.
For specific portals open the "Portals.PS" file and delete them.
- ... edit the messages?
Open the "Config.Ps" file and edit them.
Take a look at the "Configuration" page here!
- ... report bugs the right way?
In your server log starts a line with "Caused by: ..." (If it's a real bug)
I just need the "Caused by: ..." and its following lines.

Update Notes
Version 1.7.2 Release 1 EX1 (should work with 1.7.2 and higher):
- First attempt to solve lag
Version 1.7.2 Release 1 (should work with 1.7.2 and higher):
- Compiled with 1.7.2, please report errors to me! :)
Version 1.6.4 Release 3 (should work with 1.6.4 and higher):
- You can now create permission-based portals!
-> With TO-FROM: Set the first line of the TO-Sign to any permission you want and prevent people without permission to teleport to it!
-> With TWO-WAY: Set the first line of one of the signs to any permission you want (the second one will update itself)
Version 1.6.4 Release 2 (should work with 1.6.4 and higher):
- Had to remove version-checking
Version 1.6.4 Release 1 (should work with 1.6.4 and higher):
- This is more like a test if it still works. Because people sometimes think plugins won't work with higher versions :)
- fixed a bug, where the message wouldn't show when you place a home-portal and the target player has no home
Version 1.5.2 Release 6 (should work with 1.6.2 and higher):
- fixed a bug with the restriction-options, which prevented blocks from being destroyed (again :( ... I'm sorry!)
Version 1.5.2 Release 5 (should work with 1.6.2 and higher):
- fixed a bug with the restriction-options, which prevented blocks from being destroyed
Version 1.5.2 Release 4 (should work with 1.6.2 and higher):
- Plugin checks on startup / reload, if theres is a new version available!
- New config options:
PLAYER_PERMISSION_MISSING: Displayed, when a is missing a permission to do something
PORTAL_CREATION_BLOCK_COST: Displayed, when under a placed sign no "PortalCreationCostBlockID" is
VersionCheck (default: true): if true, the plugin sends OPs on login a message if a new version is available
SyncStorageFiles (default: false): if true, the plugin checks on startup (or reload) if the stored sign-values still exist in the world
PortalCreationCostBlockID (default: null): if set to a value, there has to be the block with this id under a sign to create a portal
Version 1.5.2 Release 3:
- On startup or reload, the plugin checks now if the portals still exist
- Messages are now a little bit more fancy :)
- Add permission / op check:
PortalCreationRestriction (default: false): if true, you have to be op / have the permissions to create a portal
PortalUsageRestriction (default: false): if true, you have to be op / have the permissions to use a portal
PortalDestructionRestriction (default: false): if true, you have to be op / have the permissions to break a portal
Version 1.5.2 Release 2
- Reworked the whole plugin, everything should work properly
- Also, less chat messages! (Before there were 3 messages on portal creation)
- Removed 4 Messages:
CONNECTED_TO_PORTAL_FOUND
NO_CONNECTED_TO_PORTAL_FOUND
CONNECTED_FROM_PORTAL_FOUND
NO_CONNECTED_FROM_PORTAL_FOUND
- Added 2 Messages:

Posted Oct 12, 2013just wondering if there is a way to set up a portal that only people with a certain permission can use. I am looking to build a area that is for certain groups on my server and want to use a portal for people to get there. but i don't want just anyone using it. i'm sure there is a way to do it and i just haven't found it yet. any info or help would be greatly appreciated. and six days in on build 1.5.2r6 and still no issues. i think you got it taken care of. love this plug-in.

Posted Oct 2, 2013Decided to give release 6 a try since the portal plugin i want might not be updated. Had previously had issues with release 4 not letting you break or place blocks. release 6 seems to have corrected those errors and is working fine at the moment.

Posted Sep 12, 2013Yeah I found the error.
Should be fixed in R5 :)
If some errors still appear, try setting
PortalCreationRestriction
PortalUsageRestriction
PortalDestructionRestriction
to false

Posted Sep 11, 2013It will not work on a 1.6.2 server. I downloaded it on a brand new server that never had it before. And it would deny you from breaking or placing blocks within seconds of logging in to the world. Myself and one of my Co-Owners went thru the entire config file b/c we had used it before on a server he ran off his system. Everything was set the same and still had the issue. I would not recommend this plug-in to be used on a 1.6.2 server till something is fixed to keep the issue from happening again.

Maybe the problem was that the option was not available in the config file until i deleted the config file and let the plugin create a new one

Please go into the config and set "SyncStorageFiles" to false.
This will disable the check if portals still exist.
Sorry to you all, but this is was working properly for me, so I do not really know what I need to fix. I will try to fix it.

Backing up my portals and testing the new version...probably won't try the new feature though as I provided the signportals as an alternative to setting warps everywhere with the /setwarp command. More of a you have to use the sign to get there instead of warping from anywhere to anywhere kinda thing. Plus this allows the players to hide there signs in their homes so others can't get to them (griefprevention).
I'll let you know if it messes with my portals like the last version did though. Thanks!

I tested it myself and it worked :(
It won't work if something deletes the storage files. But there is no other way ...
I think I will add a config option to enable / disable this feature :)
(Next release will come out next week probably with a nice new feature :D)
