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 :-) ).

Giving them that permission should allow them to create shops. If it's not working for you, check your startup logs for any errors.

There was talk of it at one point, but I don't think anyone actually did it.

Ah, of course! That is brilliant.
Thank you, Devinish.
With this I can, of course, just see to getting my own version made, so shop owners are able to do e.g. /shop list #, but do you know if any SignShop users have developed upon this and shared such an add-on?

SignShop does provide a log of all transactions that can be parsed to show statistics. This feature must be enabled in the config, and will generate something like this:

Posted Nov 21, 2014Is it correctly understood that SignShop does not provide statistics to shop owners? E.g. to see a history of who buys- and what they buy from your shop (not just in the split-second the purchase happens).
If true, how would I go about using your API to create this function?

Posted Nov 19, 2014I can't sell items items, my [iSell] signs don't work, they don't take my items. It just says "Sell 32 Cobblestone for 64.00?" and it never takes my items, or gives me money. My server is Spigot 1.7.10.

No just Worldguard, region, flagged it shop-allow and I can make the shop as an OP but I need permissions for normal players to make shops but you don't have that. Btw I only want them to be able to make shops in the region and not everywhere and not other signs like commands or w/e.

Posted Nov 8, 2014Just installed this, loving it already but I do have a problem. I want people to only be allowed to create a shop in a region that is flagged allow-shop with worldguard. So I enabled that in the config however people still cant create shops in a region flagged like this.

Hmmm, if you are using WorldGuard AND Towny, that might not work. I can't remember exactly. Could you go ahead and make a ticket and provide your reproduction steps and version numbers? It will help us solve the issue more quickly.
As far as I know SignShop does not have any issues with offline servers, but we haven't actually tested. I think the UUID lookup works even when the server is offline, but I could be wrong. Right now there are over 1,500 servers using SignShop in offline mode, so unless someone knows something they don't, it should be fine.

Yeah I tried the towny shop type but, it doesnt works, it gives me a region error, not the towny shop error...... so i have to create a shop and a region at the same ttime to make it work, i tried the region alone and it doesnt let me, tried the shop alone, it doesnt let me either, it must be both at the same time.... is that how it should be ?
Is it dangerous to use signshop with offline servers ?

You have to make the towny chunk a shop type in order to make a shop there if you have that setting enabled. We do not support anything other than UUID since version 2.9.0. You can try using previous versions of SignShop, but once your server has been converted to UUID, you cannot go back.

Posted Nov 5, 2014Is there a way to save shops by player names and not uuid forr offline servers?
Also i have tried to use towny to allow shops only in those town blocks but I keep getting the error i'm not in a region to make a shop.

It sounds like you need to use one of the chest protection plugins that SignShop supports.

Posted Oct 22, 2014What a great plugin. But i have a bug / exploit that player can stole other player chest by left click on the chest and right click at the sign that player just make to stole the item in the chest. example :
A left click the chest player B with redstone, then A making a sign : [Buy] Diamond 1 0. Then A left click the sign with redstone. then A right click the sign to stole B chest and A got a free diamond by making that sign.
