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.

Extending SignShop with other Plugins
| Plugin | Description |
|---|---|
| Vault | Works with all standard economies (EssentialsEco, iConomy, BOSEconomy, Gringotts, and more) and permission plugins (LuckPerms, Permissions 3, bPermissions, PEX, GroupManager, PermissionsBukkit, zPermission (and defaults to OP permissions, if you don't want to use a permission system)). |
| For sign and chest protection, though SignShop has built in sign protection. | |
| Use the worth.yml for dynamic sign prices by putting [worth] on the bottom line of the sign (must be enabled in SignShop config) | |
| 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 :-) ).

Sounds like you are in creative mode and disabled the ProtectShopsInCreative option. Set that to true, and you shouldn't have that issue.

Yes, Slot and iSlot signs will do that. Just put whatever items you want to sell from that sign in the chest, and in the amounts you'd like to sell, link the sign, and you are done.

I'm going to guess you updated to 1.4.7, THEN put SignShop 2.5.3, after you had already tried an earlier version of SignShop. In which case, the Known Issues section would tell you everything you need to know. Let this be a lesson to never update your live server without first testing plugins :-)

Can you open a ticket and post your startup logs as well, please?

Ah thanks so much for telling about this, you've saved me from getting destroyed by my server community. Apologies if I sounded quite angry earlier, and thanks for remaining patient in the face of my douchebag self. I was using SignShop v2.5.3 and CB 1.4.7-R1. Shops seemed to lose all their item targets :S

Firstly, SignShop automatically creates a backup of your sellers.yml called sellers.bak. Rename that file and your shops should be restored. Secondly, what version of SignShop and what version of craftbukkit were you using?

SignShop does not provide chest protection. There are many other plugins that already do this. Take a look at the Extending SignShop with other Plugins section for a list of supported chest protection plugins.

Posted Feb 3, 2013Hi, how do I protect the chest as anyone can just come and take whatever that's inside the chest? I can't find any reference on it. The chest breaks too. Any way to fix this without any other plugins? Except maybe if Essentials can help.

This sounds like an issue with vault or AEco. All we do is request for money, and let vault pass that to your economy plugin.

it's an optional parameter for the takeVariablePlayerItems Block. So it should look like takeVariablePlayerItems{acceptdamaged}
