SignEdit

Table of Contents

Description

This plugin allows you to edit signs while they are still on block/wall they were placed on.

Features

Logging.. Every edit made to a sign is logged in either console or a separate log file.
Colours! See the Colours With SignEdit page
As an added bonus, SignEdit will parse colours when you place a sign.
SignEdit throws a SignChangeEvent with every edit. This means that if a player is trying to make a sign that they don't have permission to create, they can't! This is compatible with almost every major plugin that uses signs. It also works with HawkEye, so you can see who changed what!

Hey,

I have the same problem like: @c0dejunkie and @dddeeefff

If I remember correctly, I never had problems with version 3.2.2 but since I've upgraded to 3.3.1 it's impossible to edit a sign. Could you please try to fix this because that's a very good plugin but it seems that more than just a few users have this issue.

I'm using Spigot #834 and NCP b539.

this plugin no longer works on my server... no matter what it always says that the sign can not be edited.... there are no other plugins on my server that have anything to do with signs so there are none to disable one by one to see which one is interfering, also nothing was changed on my server other than the version of spigo that I run, so all I can say is that the plugin just doesn't work anymore..... please update it, my staff and I use this plugin everyday..... thank you

Sounds like you should turn off your other sign plugins one by one to determine which one is interfering with signedit.

for some reason, no matter what I can no longer edit any signs, be it ones that have already been placed or even when i place a new one and then try to edit it, the cmd works and it tells me to left click the sign like normal but when i do click the sign to put the change into effect, I get a red notice saying only this "could not edit sign" and there are no errors in the command prompt, i tried the things that dddeeefff tried and nothing would help, no matter what I cant get this plugin to edit signs..... I am on the latest version that just came out a few days ago, and it did work when I first updated to it, but no it won't. could it have anything to do with NoCheatPlus? cause I noticed that lANTHONYl asked dddeeefff if he had it installed, I ask because I do have it installed, is there something in NoCheatPlus that could be causing it? thanks guys

Awesome plugin! You should make it so essentials format codes (&1, &k, &0) Don't count as characters so you don't run out of space so quickly.

Since 1.5.2 (I think, it could be since 1.5), I've been having players complain that they occasionally get "could not edit sign" messages when editing signs.

I've been running some tests:

relogging doesn't change whether it works or not.
I've tried asking people to protect (/cpublic) signs to see if it allows editing and it doesn't change it. I've then unprotected (/cremove) the sign and they still can't edit it.
I haven't run into the issue myself, though I am an op.
destroying and replacing the sign has allowed the sign to be editted (in every test we've done)
it happens with signs placed since 1.5.2 as well as those predating it.
it doesn't seem to be anything to do with WG regions, but it might be (in the testing I did, the player had build perms in both regions the sign was in) I'll be testing whether other players can edit a seemingly bugged sign when the opportunity arises.

There are also no stack traces in console. Sorry I can't be more helpful. Given that the error never happens to me I can't do much more than ask people what happens when they do what I say.

EDIT Okay, what's being said now by someone is that they can edit only the last sign they placed.

What Cyprias said. Make a worldedit region, and that should be fine.

You could use worldguard to block the use of /signedit in your spawn region.

(assuming you have worldguard)

Sounds like signshop doesn't monitor and cancel the SignChanged event then. We've done our job by firing the event prior to editing, it's up to other sign based plugins to handle the event and cancel it if necessary.

@Cyprias I have signedit.edit in PEX and it has been tested to show that locked signs for signshop can be edited and money gets taken.

I've never used SignShop before. You should test it and report back if there's issues.

It's possible to edit locked signs and take money from players using Sign shop.

@notif

The client is only capable to show 15 characters. I don't know exactly what would happen if the server sends more than 15 characters to the client, but it will probably just ignore them.

Would it be possible to bypass the 15 character limit for colors? Or would that crash the client?
