Bukkit

a few people have complained about their players using web auction to store items, giving them an unfair advantage on a pvp server. storage fees are planned, but I just made another improvement I think you'll like. virtual inventories are 9 slots across. in the WA_Settings table, you can now set how many rows of slots a mailbox has. it can be anywhere from one row of 9 slots, up to 6 rows, giving the player a max of 54 slots. server admins can adjust this setting to whatever they'd like and just run "/wa reload" to refresh the settings. shrinking the mailbox wont cause any problems for players who already have a full 54 slot mailbox inventory. the plugin will just fit as much as it can when the mailbox is opened, so the player can open the mailbox multiple times to withdraw their items that don't fit the first time. this feature will be available in 1.1.5

with the update of minecraft 1.3, right clicking a sign with certain items no longer sends that signal to the server, so there's no way for the plugin to detect it. for instance, you can't place a cactus on the face of a sign, so that logic is now handled by the client. I had planned to add an optional virtual chest to deposit items, but this problem forced me to switch only to virtual chests. a lot of new code means new issues to work out. hence why the update is taking a little while. you're welcome to try out the development build. it's mostly ready, but there's still a few things left to fix before I'm happy with its stability. http://webauctionplus.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/WebAuctionPlus-1.1.4alpha.zip

those 2 features you're looking for are a few of the things I temporarily removed while I worked on rewriting the rest of the plugin. basically, it all depends on the transaction logging code, which also needed a full rewrite. the development version above now logs transactions to the database, which is the first step. next, I'll be working on writing code which uses that to calculate market prices, and displays the transaction log page. in game sale alerts also relied on this new code, which is one thing I've finished and is working better now.

lol, can't please everyone. you're welcome to give me some tips. I do realize the html file is a bit bigger in size having the css included in-line, but there is a reason for that. I feel it's a small amount of bandwidth to sacrifice and few people actually look at the generated html. one thing I can't stand is the off chance of a css file not downloading properly, then the entire page is malformed. it's something that would be easy to change if need be. btw, I drown in php/css all day sometimes too. what awful languages to work with at times.

the jar installs like any bukkit plugin. just edit the config.yml file so it can connect to the database, then restart the bukkit server. the website installs generally like any php website. just upload the files and edit config.php so it can connect to the same database, then you're good to go. there are extra settings you can change in the WA_Settings table of the database. in the future, there will be an admin page on the website where you can go to change those settings instead of going to the database.

stacking items on the website is ok. for instance, selling a stack of pick axes in one auction. when the player opens their mailbox in game, it will split them down to 1 item per slot. but you might be right. it may be better to only stack them as an auction, and split them up when they buy them. I'd consider this a minor problem, as long as they split up to their max stack sizes in game. the issue you reported about players creating signs while the plugin is unloaded, yes, that can be a problem. I've known about it, but it will require a bunch of new code and rewriting of existing code to fix it and have it track every sign. so it's something I should definitely add in the future. I just have to prioritize what issues I work on first. thanks for reporting these issues.

I haven't uploaded an official update for 1.3.1 yet, but there are dev versions available. the older 1.0.8 does work with the latest bukkit, but depositing certain items into a mailbox has broke and players can't deposit them. this is the only known issue with that version. to fix this, I've had to remove the old mailbox signs and use a new method using a virtual chest. in a way, it's a can of worms. new code and new methods for doing things inherently opens up a whole new list of bugs. most of them have been fixed in the latest dev version, but a few I'm still working on.

recently, I've done some experimenting with mysql improved. I think long term, it's a good idea, but it may introduce a whole new wave of bugs and compatibility issues. I may have to trash those changes I started and come back to it after I get a stable update released.

try restarting your bukkit server again. that problem should be fixed already, but I'm still working on a few things before I post the update. if you'd like the most recent version, here's a link. http://webauctionplus.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/WebAuctionPlus-1.1.4alpha.zip it's mostly stable and working well, but there is a mysterious bug I'm working on today that only affects a few servers.
