WebAuctionPlus
WebAuctionPlus - eBay for Minecraft!
A minecraft/bukkit shop plugin for your website! This is a rewrite of the original WebAuction with many new features and improvements. I've made to many improvements to the code to list on one page. Many of my plans require big changes and a lot of new code. As with any new code, bugs are to be expected, so please bare with me and report any bugs you come across.
Note: It is strongly recommended you backup your database before using or updating this plugin. Some of the bug fixes and performance improvements I'm making require big changes to the database. The WebAuctionPlus plugin will convert and update the database automatically the first time it's run.
New virtual inventory MailBox has been added with the update of Minecraft 1.3 and WebAuctionPlus 1.1. When a player right clicks on a MailBox sign, it opens up their virtual mailbox inventory and locks their website account to prevent item dups. When they close their mailbox, it updates their inventory and unlocks their website account. NOTE: This feature is new and running single threaded. If you experience lag related to this, I can see what I can do to make it multi-threaded.
Requires: Vault - http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/vault/
Requires: Web server with PHP and MySQL
Optional: SignLink - http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/signlink/

If you'd like this plugin translated to another language, feel free to download the en.yml file from the link above, translate it to your own language, and send it to me.
Signs
WebAuctionPlus signs can be created by placing a sign with [WebAuction], [WebAuction+], or [wa] on the first line. Case doesn't matter, the plugin will fix it for you.
Note: you cannot use the deposit mailbox sign while in creative mode. this shouldn't ever be needed in the normal operation of the plugin, so as a general protection, it's always denied.
Note: withdraw mailbox signs can now have a quantity of stacks on the last line, or leave it blank for all mail.
SignLink
- %waTitle - items name
- %waPrice - price each
- %waSeller - sellers name
- %waType - Buy Now or Auction

Plugin Usage
As I've said in comments, I don't agree with the mojang buyout. as much as I've enjoyed working on this plugin and want to see it continue, I'm no longer doing all the work. MarioG1 has stepped up to work on the plugin. I may still help somewhat if he wants, but I'm passing the torch to him as the lead. good luck, hope you write some good code and features.

yes, it works best with iconomy using a table in the same database as web auction. it is a planned feature to fully support any vault economy.
@dragon1002
minotar.net does seem to go down more often than I'd like, but I don't know of an alternative site. I've thought about a few ways to cache the images on the web auction web server. the best method might be to download the skin images straight from minecraft.net and have web auction create the image itself. does anyone know of a php script that works like what minotar does?
@ToonAnon
if it's supported by vault then you can use the money deposit/withdraw signs. unfortunately it can't work directly with other economy systems yet, but that is planned like I said above.
@MogriMoogle
I enjoy the programming. thanks everyone for the support. donations are welcome. I have been hard at work on the next update once again. I'm just about done with what I'm currently working on, but there's a bunch more things I'd like to finish up yet. when I have it ready, I'll post here to let yous all know, and you can try it out before I officially release the update. I'll fix all the bugs I can find, but I know yous will find any I miss, as always :-) tekkit support is almost finished. thanks TheNytangel, for all your help with that.

Hello.
The connection between my webserver, and mc server are allowd in the whitelist, for who can connect to my MySQL DB.
We also have LogBlock running allready, and your plugin got the same MySQL information, as the LogBlock Plugin.
So I don't think the problem is in the db information.
Just to make it clear. The iconomy will only works, if it's in the database, and not in a flatfile? :-/

that exception seems to be coming from code that only runs when the /wa password command is used. any other exceptions or problems or is it only that one? if you still have trouble, you can open a bug ticket and we'll look into it farther.
@FrostEnergy
not many people have said anything about the twitter feature. it was removed in an early version when I started rewriting the entire plugin. I've never used it myself, so not sure how it works or what it even does. if there's interest in it, I could possibly add it back in eventually, or someone else could write the code if they want. but I think it'd be best to have stable code to base it on first. it's getting there. it takes time, but I'm getting it done piece by piece.
@SulfoDK
sounds like a problem connecting to the database, or remote host permissions. if your database is on another server other than the bukkit server, you'll have to add the bukkit servers ip address to the remote host list for that db user. the first time the plugin successfully connects, it'll create all the database tables it needs, then the website will work. as for iconomy, using mysql for iconomy is currently the only well supported economy. it does support all economies that vault supports, but you'll have to use the money deposit/withdraw signs to add money to the web auction accounts. it is a pain, and I plan to fix this, but it's the only option at the moment. also, your english isn't bad.
@Raymanic
that error usually means the database tables don't exist yet. when the bukkit plugin loads and successfully connects to the database for the first time, it'll create all the tables, then it should work. I'll see what I can do to improve that message.

@SulfoDK
Hmm.. It tells me, that there is something wrong in the config. I have checked it, and every thing looks alright.
My wa_settings is not created in the database?
Another question is, if I have the iconomy in a flatfile, on the server, how do I set the iConomy then? :)
Sorry my bad english..

I don't remember which version it made it into, either 1.0.8 or if it'll be in the next update, but I removed all lag coming from web auction when a player logs in by making it run delayed and on its own thread. in the last few days, and the next few, I've improved it a bit more by cutting down on the number of queries it runs when a player deposits or withdraws an item.
@mumblerit
I know, I've seen this on websites, and it can get pretty bad. I didn't know it could crash a browser, but that may be due to a slow internet connection. generating the page only takes a fraction of a second, and php usually has a 30 second timeout built in, but I think all the time is spent downloading the page to the browser. I'll try to get this fixed in the next update, since I'm still focusing on these critical fixes. it'll use ajax to load only the items it's ready to display. the cancel button should also be working in the next update.
@krovnatik
if you look in the WA_Players table of the database, you can see what it's setting permissions to for players. it updates those permissions when the player logs in, or changes their password with the /wa password command. that should give you some clue as to what's going on.

Posted Jul 19, 2012Our main issue atm is the sheer number of items being loaded on the auction house due to their being no cancel/timeout
Its causing peoples browsers to crash.

replied to the ticket. whatever the problem is, maybe I can track it down with more information.
edit: my first day back on the job and I'm very happy with my code so far! I've created a few new functions to handle items and removed the old ones. there were still quite a few queries running to deposit an item, but it's down to only 2 now. it has been reported that deposit/withdraw signs were causing a slight bit of lag, but I think that's fixed now. still much to do. none of the other code has been updated for the new enchantments format in the database. I'll also have to write some code to update your database for this new format, but it's not very complex.
