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. | |

| 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 :-) ).

After you have made your [Free] sign, you can do one of 2 things, either add the "signshop.denyuse.free" to every group except VIP's, or use a [Restricted] sign with your VIP group on the second line and link that to your [Free] sign. If you have a ton of free signs, then I'd go the permissions route, but if not, the Restricted sign would be much easier. I'd also put the Restricted sign near the other sign, so people know that it is restricted to VIP's.
EDIT: You can also link a Restricted sign to multiple other signs, so you only need one.

Posted Aug 22, 2013Does anyone know how to make the "Free" sign only work for a certain group? Right now I'm trying to set it up so VIP's can only use the "Free" item sign and other ranks lower than VIP cannot. I would love to get some help

That sounds like a different problem, so yeah, please create a ticket. I know that if your server is low on RAM, the redstone may not get reset. You should check that when encountering the issue. Also, make sure your lever is on the ground, not a wall.

Posted Aug 22, 2013Hello, first off i love your plugin and would like to thank you for all the effort that has been put into it.
Everything works great except for I am encountering a similar issue to mattgehring123, signs are not unlinking after every world restart instead after each world restart any [device] signs i have will not work as intended any more. Essentially the sign works as intended from the moment i create it until i disconnect/reconnect or change worlds. After that the sign will trigger the lever, but then the lever never turns off, and if the lever does happen to reset itself the redstone circuit for some reason still remains powered as if the action did not get registered. The latest dev build unfortunately did not solve the issue. =( Any ideas as to why this may be happening? I can open a ticket if that would help. Thanks, -smpl

There are no examples, because it really depends on what type of server you have. Most of the time you should give your users signshop.signs.*, your moderators and admins will get some mix of everything else. Admins with signshop.superadmin are treated like OP, so they can do things like reload signshop, and break other people's signs.

My suggestion would be to use worldedit to move the signs and chests, then use teleports to just relink them. As long as you have the amount you are selling in a chest somewhere, it shouldn't too long. Another solution could be manually editing your sellers.yml, but that is more prone to error, and you would need to know the exact coordinates of your old signs/chests and your new signs/chests. If you are keeping the same exact layout of the shops, we could think about writing a tool for this, but we have a nice backlog of important tickets we would need to attend to first.

SignShop can use decimals. Check the settings of your economy plugin. It may not allow decimals.
@MrMikeMcloud
PM me your server IP. I'll stop by to take a look.

You also cannot be holding redstone or ink sacs, and if you are holding a block, you allow room for the block to place itself, then get deleted. I recommend just using an open hand.
