Bukkit

How to start

1. First off you need to download the latest StaffManager release - StaffManager.jar
2. Then place StaffManager.jar in <folder where craftbukkit.jar is>/plugins folder.
3. If your server is already running, call a reload (/reload) and kick all players out (/kickall).
4. If not, start your server.
5. Here are some of the commands you need to do to generate some files.

sm sm applicants sm staff 1 sm banlist

1. Go to ~/plugins/StaffManager/
2. Open up config.yml
3. Edit it to suit your needs - More information about config.yml can be found here
4. Now go to ~/StaffManager/HELP_FILES
5. Open up ~/help_file_page_1.txt and edit it as much as you want. (Please note that every line will be displayed to the user so do not jam too much information into one page. If you want extra pages, edit the pagesNeeded value of config.yml and do /sm <page number> to generate the help files. StaffManager will parse the lines so feel free to use color codes as much as you want. You can use ampersands (&) too.)
6. if you have current staff, feel free to add them in /StaffManager/data/staff.txt. Please note that in order for feature staff online to work, each name must be on a new line and has to be exactly the IGN of the player. (Case-Sensitive)
7. Thats it! Your done! All you need to do now is to teach your users how to use the basic commands (/sm)

IMPORTANT

Never, ever edit /StaffManager/data/applicants.txt or banlist.txt, those are meant to be fully edited only by the plugin. Also /sma ban does not prevent the user from getting on your server, but instead, blocks him/her from applying.

You can edit the staff list in game by using /sma addstaff and /sma demote.

The actual date joined of the user is not recorded by the plugin. The plugin only registers players' join date after the plugin is installed.

/sma purge has a password lock to it, also editable in config.yml. To disable it, set purgeProtect to false. You can change the password too in config.yml.

IMPORTANT Never ever type '&' in .yml files, it has a meaning in yaml and can cause problems.
