Simple Prefix: Allows you to easily manage your chat with prefixes and suffixes.
This plugin uses prefixes and suffixes that are very easy to configure, from inside of an yml config file. You apply prefixes and suffixes per user or group in the /SimplePrefix/config.yml file.
Alternatively, Simple Prefix can be configured to get the prefixes and suffixes from Vault supported chat plugins instead (PermissionsEx, bPermissions, etc.)
You can fully alter the chat format. For example, you could achieve the following ingame:
- [Admin] Flabaliki: my message here
Or even, just completely mix and match the template to get the look you want.
A developer API is available to those who wish to access prefixes and suffixes and use them within their own plugin. Click "Metadata" above.
That's basically what this is, just a lightweight plugin for quickly getting your prefixes and suffixes to work, however you want.
Read the Configuration page for instructions on how to use the plugin.
Features:
- Uses permissions to apply prefixes and suffixes to selected users or groups.
- Alternatively, can use prefixes and suffixes from plugins supported by Vault.
- Formatting/color codes are fully supported.
- Configure the chat format to display however you want.
- Developer API for fetching prefixes and suffixes.
- Easy to use commands for adding / removing prefixes in game.
- Set prefixes and suffixes per group or per user.
- Plays nicely with Essentials /nick command.
- Option to allow multiple prefixes / suffixes, and a configurable separator which is placed between them to separate them.
- A prefix or suffix tier system (so that you can make multiple ranking ladders).
- UUID support
- Offline mode server support (using usernames instead of UUIDs)
- Factions chat tags support (read our Configuration page)
Installation:
- Place Simple Prefix.jar into your plugins folder
- Restart or reload your server
- Edit your config.yml (see here for info)
Please carefully read the Configuration page!

Posted Oct 19, 2012Could you please consider adding a reload command to the plugin? I prefer to edit prefixes in the config file, but currently you need to reload the whole server for them to take effect; it really is a pain to reload when you have over 60 plugins.

Jesus, does no one understand permissions!? You NEED the permissions to use them! Give yourself the permission nodes to use the command.

Posted Oct 18, 2012And, Flabaliki, none of the In-game commands work, they just say [Simple Prefix Commands] and say they link to this plugin.

When this option is enabled, the (tab) player list will be updated with the displayname. The value of change-displayname (above) has to be true.

If you use essentials (which I recomind getting) it would work, and if you get it, then jsut remove coloredtablist, and it will work.

Just go into your essentials and take out the ' # ' for the tabslist to do colours, and you should be fine.

Posted Oct 15, 2012Hi, great plugin, will there ever be tablist support? Currently I'm using http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/coloredtablist and I don't like using 2 plugins for this setup.

Posted Oct 9, 2012I have a problem when I put my username in the users on BukkitPermissions to put me in the admin group it wont say my prefix.
Also, would this work with BuyCraft? (i.e. when someone buys a package is there a way to make the VIP thing go in their name automatically, maybe by using the commands?
Thanks.

Posted Oct 8, 2012I notice you said "If the user has multiple nodes, for group suffixes, the top most one in the config.yml file will be used. " Is there a way to make it use all prefixes that apply instead of just picking one? For example, I'd like to color code peoples names by faction while also having [Admin] tags for staff etc. Currently pex can do this but I want to switch from pex to permissionsbukkit and can't give up this feature

You need to add the permissions to use the commands. It is clearly, clearly labelled just above the comments section. It lists the permission for each command, which if you don't have, you won't have an commands.
