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/

Languages
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.

usually, the problem with the player icons is, your server needs gd2 installed. it's a library for php to handle image manipulation. the new mcskins.php file renders the icons internally instead of having minotar.net do it. I have a few improvements planned for this. an option to make gd2 optional and fall back on minotar, and a way to more easily view possible errors instead of just a blank image.
I'm working on a few other improvements too, and hopefully finish up a few more features. someone gave me some suggestions to further tighten up password security. at the moment, I'm writing some new code to try out a new method of handling passwords.

Install http://www.wampserver.com/, then out online, then go to %whereyouinstalledit%/www and put the files of the web there. go to localhost/webauctionplus and it should show up. P.s. you need to port forward it to port 80 but if that doesn't work, go to the apache config and change the port to 8080 and port-forward that port. Hope it worked.

I started one, but haven't finished it yet. it's not to difficult to install, so most people don't need a guide. just copy the jar file to the plugins folder and start the bukkit server. the plugin will create the config.yml file where you configure the mysql connection for the plugin. then restart the plugin or use /wa reload to load the new config settings. this is all the same as most other plugins. the website portion is installed similar to other php websites. just upload the php files and edit config.php with the same mysql connection info to connect to the same database as the plugin itself.
when you upgrade to the latest version, just copy the new jar file to your plugins folder, and upload the new php files to your website. config.php rarely changes, so you wont have to upload that one file or reconfigure the mysql settings.

do you have a copy of the sql errors you got? if I know the line number of the problem, I can probably fix it. I remember there were some small issues in early versions with truncated timestamps, but it wasn't anything real bad, and everything still worked right. it's possible that's all the error was.
I recommend updating right to 1.1.7, no matter what version you were previously using. if everything works as it should, it will automatically handle the updates, even if you were previously using the original web auction 0.6.4

Posted Sep 23, 2012Hi! Tell me please - can i successfully upgrade my basic WebAuction database to WebAuctionPlus v1.1.7, or I have to upgrade step-by-step from previous beta-versions of WA+ ?
P.S.I remember that wen i thied to upgrade to 1.1.5, I had an sql-errors with changed datetime types of fields in some tables. You have changed the types of values, but the existed values had not converted and it falls in sql-error

I added the new stairs as a sub-item to the original stairs, but they actually have their own item id's. thanks for reporting this, I've fixed it. you can download the updated file here until an update is ready. http://code.google.com/p/webauctionplus/source/browse/trunk/www/WebInterface/inc/ItemPacks/default/item.defines.php
bukkit hasn't added official api support for books yet. I'm not sure how long it'll be until books are supported by bukkit. I'd like to add them to web auction plus using the official api, but may have to use one of the 3rd party api's temporarily.
when books are added, I've been thinking about a few things. could possibly add some kind of book publishing feature. a player could write a book and sell multiple copies of it. also, much could be done using a virtual book page to display information, like lists of auctions. buying from a page like this, I haven't had many good ideas for yet. it'd be a pain to type a command to buy something using an auction id number, but something like that would be needed to identify it. any ideas for buying in game?

I have an idea to fix this problem. it'll be in the next update to give it a try. I haven't written the code for it yet.
the update gets the skin image directly from minecraft.net and renders the image locally, instead of relying on minotar.net. it should be more reliable this way, but you'll have to make sure gd2 is installed on your web server. it's a plugin for php to work with images and is required to make this work. in the next update, maybe I can make this an optional feature, and fall back on minotar.net if gd2 isn't found.

thanks. expiration time hasn't been implemented yet, but it is on my todo list for the next update.

I've been focusing on existing features and trying to get everything stable, for the most part. transactions are being logged to the database now, there's just no page to display them yet. I'm on esper #webauctionplus channel. I'll reply when I'm around.
@comniemeer
just upload the files for the plugin and website the same way you have in the past and it should work. there haven't been any changes to the database between 1.1.6 and 1.1.7. the item names support multi-language, and I have german ready to add in, but it hasn't been included in this last update yet. the website itself, translations can start as soon as I get the code for it finished, and put together a list of messages for those language files.

Posted Sep 17, 2012How do I update correctly from 1.1.6-alpha to 1.1.7-beta without losing any auctions? And could you please complete this page?
Thanks so much for your great work!
Edit: You told something about german is alredy finished or so... Will it work already on the website?

As I see, the log of transactions, history page, graph page and other important features are still unreleased. Do you need for some help on web-side development? How about to call some people who can help with developing WA+ to meet the IRC conferention? I think, you can give them (us) some cases/issuses to solve and then you can check the code when the work will be done and do commit
P.s. I'm sure - there are people some of us who like PHP, know the git/svn base skills and want to join to develop. P.s.p.s. I know the PHP on a basic level - i've understand the basic syntax and functions. Two month ago I've started to learn Object Oriented PHP

those language files haven't been finished yet, and it's not finished in the rest of the php. I should have this finished soon, then you can use en.php as a template for ru.php, but you'll have to wait until I can get to it. in the WA_Settings table of the database, there's a line called Language, just set that value to ru, and it will set it for the in-game plugin, the item names, and the website (in the future).
