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 :-) ).

Can you create new signs? Does it give you any errors in your console? Have you recently adjusted your config.yml?

You can read the config with comments to better understand custom signs. I'm not sure what "features" you are looking for, but it should be pretty self explanatory.
@Damimad
I'm not sure what could have caused that. If there are any errors in the server log, please open a ticket. Otherwise you might want to just delete the signshop folder and have the plugin regenerate it for you.

Do not break the chest. Just punch it once!

Posted Mar 20, 2012When using [iSell], the items go directly to the chest instead of disappearing. And when the chest is full, you can no longer sell the item. Kind of an issue when running a big economy server.

Essentials tries to hijack SignShop signs even when certain Essentials signs are disabled. Please complain to them about this issue.

Posted Mar 19, 2012Do you have any plans on adding essentials sign support? I would really like this and this is currently the only thing stopping me from using this mod which I really want.

All of the instructions are given in game. All you need is a chest with the amount of whatever item you are buying/selling in a single transaction and redstone dust. Punch the ChestShop sign with redstone dust to begin the conversion.
@ShamsyX
I believe the iConomy command for that is /money

Posted Mar 19, 2012I noticed in your description you advertise: "Can convert ChestShop signs to SignShop signs." But I don't see anywhere in your config or devBukkit page for info on how to do this? I'd like to be able to seamlessly move from iConomyChestShop, which I believe you're referring to and has a bunch of issues and is limited to Buy/Sell, to this incredibly-sounding plugin. Thanks!

You need to be using an economy plugin and Vault. If you are getting any errors in your server logs, please open a ticket.

Posted Mar 17, 2012All stuff in others' chest can be stolen for $1 even it's locked. Could you make the plugin auto decide the owner of a chest with the name on lockette?
