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 Mar 29, 2014HELP! Once I link the chest and sign with buy, it says [SignShop] Buy 1 Pumpkin Facing North Not Lit for $2? and I've tried everything to get it to work, even typing in yes but I can't actually buy it, it just keeps asking over and over. What's the problem?

The first thing to do would be to check out our tickets. I'm going to guess the issue you are having is due to not having a permission plugin installed, as described here. If you install a perm plugin, and it still doesn't work, then perhaps it is some other issue. In which case you'd want to create a ticket of your own.

Posted Mar 22, 2014So hey, I've been trying to use this plugin. The chests work great! So what's my problem? Well.. the signs... No matter how I type the signs, desc or not, it refuses to work. Somtimes, rarely, I can manage it by typing 10 and it'll change to blue and write a blue 0. However, when I punch the sign with redstone dust, it'll just delete the sign. I do: <top line> [Buy] <bottom line> $100
If I am to write a desc. I write: <top line> [Buy] <2nd line> Fish <3rd line> x2 <bottom line> $100
Any reason this might not be working?

I'm not sure what you are asking. All of our permission nodes are on the Permissions Page and in the quick reference.

Unfortunately that is not possible. Why not just sell the enchanted swords?

Posted Mar 13, 2014Do you think I can use this plugin to allow players to buy enchantments for specific items at specific prices only?
An example would be to buy sharpness 1 on a wooden sword for 10$
But to buy sharpness 1 on a diamond sword for $100

I am using signshop and so far has worked great. I am using Permissionsex for my permissions. This is what I have in the Merchant group to allow them to do a regular buy and sell shop. No infinity. Infinity should be for OP's only. The Owner/OP would have the "*" permission. So it covers everything else.
. - Signshop.Signs.sell
- signshop.signs.buy
- Signshop.Permit
When you click the chest it has to have the number of items in the chest that will match the sign. and when clicked it will give a message saying stored location. Then you click the sign. if everything on the sign is correct.. it will blink and then the [buy]/[sell] will change to blue since something is in the chest. if you take the items out. it will change red showing that its empty. if it messes up and you click the chest again.. it will actually remove the stored location.. so watch for that.. if that happens..just click the chest again for stored location. this is not a bug.. its there just incase you pick the wrong chest.

As I said before, you probably need a permission plugin. Also, tone down the hostility or I'll have to remove your posts.

You should take a look at our FAQ and tutorial video. You probably need a permission plugin. Also, you should edit your post instead of sending 4 messages in a row.
