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!

Please read the Configuration page thoroughly before asking for help, because it's likely your question/problem is answered there.

They are probably conflicting. Also, the multiplePrefix/Suffix thing is only for having multiple prefixes/suffixes from within Simple Prefix, it is not for prefixes/suffixes across plugins.

It seems this plugin does not work for my server. I need suffix to work so that people can see their rank and see admins and stuff.
I have another plugin [SkillAPI] which is a class plugin and what not that gives a prefix for the player, but no suffix. I have Herochat, and i also have Essentials. ( i dont know if these plugins conflict?)
But in the confic i have multiple suffix and prefix set to true so other plugins should not matter? You can take a look at my permissions yml and simpleprefix yml.

I use bukkit version 1.7.5
i use the lastest version of permissions and simpleprefix

groups:
  default:
   permissions:
   permissions.build false
   simpleprefix.dwarf true
  admin:
   permissions:
   permissions.*: true
   simpleprefix.admin true
   inheritance:
   - user

Simpleprefix confic.yml none of it works, neither the time the world or the suffix. Can you please help me out and tell me if i have done something wrong?

Template:
  format: '<[time] [world] [prefix][name][suffix]> '
  time: '[h:mm aa]'
  multiPrefix: true
  multiPrefixSeparator: '&r, '
  multiSuffix: true
  multiSuffixSeparator: '&r-'
Worlds:
  world:
   nickname: '&e[World]&f'
Group:
  admin:
   prefix: ''
   suffix: '&a[admin]&f'
User:
  069a79f4-44e9-4726-a5be-fca90e38aaf5:
   prefix: '&c[Notch]&f'
   suffix: ''
Version: '2.3'

So this seems to have broken because Mojang is migrating users to the new UUID system.

"Could not pass event AsyncPlayerPreLoginEvent to SimplePrefix v2.3"

Are you giving the correct permissions to everyone? Remember, when you create a group in Simple Prefix, you need to give the simpleprefix.<group name> permission to that permissions group or user as well. So what I'm saying is that Simple Prefix groups and permissions groups don't synchronize, you assign them with permissions.

No, you only needed to swap it in 2.3. In 2.3.1, the topmost one is the most important one, so it overrides the others.

Also, don't use 2.3.1 yet, because the auto-updater will turn it back to 2.3, unless you disable that from the config.

So the order in which you add the groups is important?
Because i downloaded 2.3.1, and when swapping the first/last groups the same problem occurs ;-)

Thanks though :-)

Okay, I'll look into that.

Also, I've uploaded v2.3.1 to fix the previous bug about the reversed order of prefixes/suffixes. Waiting to be approved.

Ahh, no problem ;-)

I also noticed that all ranks except Owner miss the double colon in the suffix, while they are clearly visible in the config.

This is a bug. Although on this page, it says that when a person has permissions for multiple prefixes or suffixes, the topmost one in the config will be used, it is the opposite. The prefix or suffix at the bottom will override the ones that are above it. I will change this in the next update to avoid further confusion. Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

Well, i have Essentials(GroupManager) and Vault but for some (silly) reason the ranks get the wrong suffix(colours).

I'm an OP and i seem to get the suffix(colour) of the lowest rank while that rank is not inherited by other ranks :S

my config:

Group: owner: prefix: '' suffix: '&4:&c' admin: prefix: '' suffix: '&c:&4' moderator: prefix: '' suffix: '&3:&b' builder: prefix: '' suffix: '&7:&f' survivalist: prefix: '' suffix: '&7:&f' guest: prefix: '' suffix: '&f:&7' failnoob: prefix: '' suffix: '&7:&8'

By editing the template format option in the config. Just remove [time] variable from the format option.

Currently, each group you create in Simple Prefix has it's own permission (simpleprefix.<group name>) and you can give those permissions to your groups in PEX.

We will add support for using PEX's own prefix and suffix storage system later, but for now, you need to use permissions to give group prefixes and suffixes.
