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 :-) ).

Posted Apr 16, 2012Another question; I know you can limit the number of shops per player in the config but can you limit the number of shops per group or per individual player? For instance could I make it so player clicks on a sign (using the new command signs) and can buy the ability to create more shops for themselves or so a VIP is able to create more shops than a default player?
I hope this isn't a stupid question but I couldn't find the option anywhere, if not then I see another suggestion ticket on the horizon ;).

That was done with a plugin called Showcase which may or may not be supported in the future. I do personally like the idea but I have yet to play around with ShowCaseStandalone. If you like, you can create a ticket with that request so we can easily keep you up-to-date.

To answer your question directly, Yes, that is possible. However (!), it would be much better if you could use LWC (http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/lwc/) as that already has a block protection. It would simply be redundant if we'd build the same thing into SignShop.

Posted Apr 16, 2012I like the new Featured Signshop image. I was just wondering if anyone knows what plugin is being used to display the items under the signs and if this is a planned feature to be added to SignShop at any point in the future. This is still my favourite shop plugin by a long way but displaying items is the only feature I feel it is missing.
Edit: Just found the server it was on. Looks like they have ShowcaseStandAlone running in a minimal capacity. I was hoping to avoid that as it seems like a bit of a waste of server resources to have two shop plugins installed with one of them doing almost nothing. Plus Signshop has far better functionality other than no item display.
Edit2: Oh, and great update, I will definitely be making a promotion sign at the end of my tutorial area and I can see suicide booths cropping up at convenient locations.

Posted Apr 16, 2012Any chance you could make it so only the player who put up the sign can destroy it? D: We have a global market that uses your plugin, so we can't protect it so anyone can just kill the shops :(
Rolling back the signs doesn't help either as the link is destroyed and it needs to be set up again

There is no "default" money system, you need to be running one of the economy plugins supported by Vault. They are listed at the top of Vault's page.

Posted Apr 9, 2012I'm not sure how to edit the money system so it is just whatever the default is. I noticed this line in the server log that sound like that could be the problem?

I believe that is an error message from Vault. What money system are you using? Are there any errors in the server log?
@PhiberOptikx
Hmm, seems to be working on my end. What type of sign is it? Are they in a worldguard region of some sort? Mind posting up a ticket and pasting your config please?

Posted Apr 9, 2012I setup an unlimited shop, when I go to sell an item it will take the item away but not give any currency, it will display the message "the money transaction failed please contact system administrator"

Interesting. I'm having someone (non opped) create a sign, go 30 blocks away and is able to link a chest, even with MaxSellDistance: 1 being set.

Yes it does. You can check the config with comments for any configuration questions you might have.

Posted Apr 9, 2012Curious:
MaxSellDistance: 1
Does this mean a chest has to be within 1 block of a sign?
