SimpleFAQ V1.0

Plugin created by: Skua

Description

SimpleFAQ is a plugin for answering Server specific questions. It helps answer those simple questions that you don't have time for. It's especially useful for larger Servers, as it can provide accurate and consistent answers.

Questions

/stafflist - Lists active Staff Members on the Server.
/donate - Shows the player how to Donate.
/server - A brief description of the Server.
/simplefaq - Shows plugin information.
/apply - Links to where you can apply for Staff Positions.
/website - Links you to the Server website or Forum.
/support - Provides contact details for Server related Support.
/reportbug - Shows you where you can report Server bugs.

Config File

Setting up the configuration file is easy! Just locate the SimpleFAQ folder above the jar and open it to find the config.yml. From here you can open the config with any text editor, for example, Notepad. Inside, you'll find a set of instructions. Follow these, and you'll be right on your way to setting up the plugin.

Adding Questions

One of the bad sides to this plugin, is that to a certain sense, you're limited to the amount of questions that you can display. There are a few ways around this however, and I am still working on it. Eventually I'm going to make the plugin open source, which will allow clever people to customise the questions themselves using Java. But, this doesn't really suit the average Server owner, as most people don't want to download Eclipse and learn how to code. Again, I have some solutions. If you have a suggestion for a question that would benefit for most Server, and then feel free to post it below. If I see that your suggestion has good feedback, then I may create a poll. After a month of so, if the poll is positive, then I'll most probably add your suggested question to the default config in the next update.

Here's the thing. I really don't mind coding some custom questions for your Servers. It's fine, and it only takes me a jiffy, so don't be afraid to ask. Just E-Mail me: ben4qs@gmail.com, or PM on here. I might respond via Twitter but don't be certain on it.

Keep Updated

Something I strongly recommend you do is follow me on Twitter. This will let you be informed when the next updates are, etc. Also if you have a brief questions, Twitter is the quickest way to so. I'll probably respond the same day. Here is my Twitter: https://twitter.com/ben4qs

Donate to the Developer

Obviously SimpleFAQ is a 100% free plugin, and eventually it will be open source and public for anyone to mess around with. It's time consuming updating and coding it, so any donations would be much appreciated.

try this for unlimited faq questions(still limited to hard-disk space and memory card space):

//needs to be added in onEnable()
File f=new File("plugins/SimpleFAQ");

//Lists all files under the directory
File[]faq=f.listFiles();

ArrayList<FAQObject> faqs=new ArrayList<>();

//Loops through all the files
for(File ff:faq){
    try(BufferedReader r=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(new FileInputStream(ff)))){
        //Reads its name in it's first line of the file
        String name=r.readLine();
        //Saves all contents of the faq
        ArrayList<String>contents=new ArrayList<>();
        String s;
       //Reads the file line by line
        while((s=r.readLine())!=null){
            contents.add(s);
        }
        faqs.add(new FAQObject(name,contents));
    }
}

Declaration of FAQObject:

public class FAQObject{
    public String name;
    public ArrayList<String>contents;

    public FAQObject(String name,ArrayList<String>contents){
        this.name=name;this.contents=contents;
    }

    public void displayFAQ(CommandSender s){
        for(String str:contents){
            s.sendMessage(str);
        }
    }
}

Sorry for any typos/unclear places, I typed this with phone :P
