SignShop v5

SignShop allows you to set up physical shops by punching a chest with your items you want to sell, then punching a sign (while holding redstone dust). It's easy to set up, and even easier to customize!
This plugin requires Vault and a vault compatible economy plugin.

| SignShopGuardian | Save your inventory when you die. |
| SignShopHotel | Allow players to rent rooms for a period of time. |
| dynmap | Show shop locations. |
| Multiverse | Supports Multiverse worlds. |
| WildcardCommands | Make SignShop run commands for all players online. |
| Towny | Use Towny banks and only let players make shops in Towny shop plots. (Thanks ryvix!) |
| WorldGuard | Respects build permissions, and you can only let players make shops in regions with the allow-shop flag. |
| ChestShop | Convert from ChestShop format to SignShop format by just punching the sign with redstone. |

Example SignShop

This is an example of how to set up a [Buy] sign with SignShop. The sign above is linked to a chest containing items. In this example, it will sell an enchanted pickaxe for 600 Waffles (Waffles are our server's currency :-) ).

Are you talking about the glitch where levers don't send signal when on walls? If so, it's a glitch that has been in craftbukkit for as long as we've had this project.
@m1k385
Yeah, SignShop has no way of knowing the syntax or anything for commands, but you can always check console to see if the command is being run and there if are any errors (assuming the plugin says there was a problem with the command).

Posted Jan 28, 2013Hey, when you use a [Device] sign and put the lever right next to a door it doesn't open the door when normally it should. Is this the way it is designed or just some sort of oversight? Just curious. They can easily hook redstone up or put a couple redstone torches under to invert the signal or whatever they like.

Command signs run commands as if the console typed them in. Are you using something like "warp location !player"? The !player variable replaces !player with the person who used the sign. You can also make it so signs run as if the player typed it themselves. Check the Blocks section of the Quick Reference for more info about the runCommand block.

We have a plugin that has the /warp command.
We have over a 1000 warps and i have tried several, and of course checked if the warp was working with /warp name.

You will need a plugin that gives you the /warp command, as it isn't a default command.

Your permission issue is likely related to bPermissions not properly handling case sensitivity. As for your other issues, please open a ticket containing the errors and other relevant info.

Posted Jan 27, 2013Permissions went away for players being able to build signshop signs, so i went to the latest dev build 2.5.3dev (you posted the link below), now i'm getting tons of: [WARNING] [SignShop] Query: SELECT PropertyName, ProperyValue FROM MetaProperty WHERE ItemMetaID = ?; could not be run because the connection to: db/books.db could not be established and [WARNING] DSCT: Too many open files [WARNING] [SignShop] Connection to: db/books.db could not be established

You have to install one of the many available Economy plugins. A populair one seems to be BOSEconomy which you can get from here.
And if you'd like to use that together with SignShop, you'll also have to install a plugin called Vault which you can get from here.

Thank you very much. And yes I did miss the part about updating. Sorry for that. But I didn't even know that the sellers.yml was being backup. So thanks for letting me know about that. I was able to restore all my shops from that file. Thank you very much!

I'm sorry to say but, as mentioned in the "Known Issues" section above, SignShop 2.5.1 does not work well with Bukkit 1.4.7. If you try to run SS 2.5.1 with 1.4.7 it will wipe all the items from your sellers.yml. Which results into shops selling "nothing" but still asking for money or the other way around (shops buying "nothing" and giving money).
This is thanks to a breaking change in Bukkit that we didn't foresee the impact of. This will not happen again from SS 2.5.3 though, from that version it should be fully compatible with future Bukkit builds (unless they introduce another breaking change that is).
So you'll either have to start with a new sellers.yml (remove the sellers.yml from your plugions/SignShop folder). Or try to restore the backup by removing the sellers.yml, backing up the sellers.bak (!) and renaming the original sellers.bak to sellers.yml.
