yes, I plan on having an option to add items to an existing auction below the create auction page. this is the best solution I've come up with that doesn't add a lot of extra load and processing time.

just remembered, I haven't added fireworks yet. added it to the top of my list of things to do. I'll get those items added soon and post the link here.

what does everyone else think about using the minecraft password to log into the website? think it would be safe enough to do? I could make it optional, but it would only be as safe as the web server its running on. most sites probably wont use ssl, and are shared hosting.

@Peda1996

very nice work, I like it! sure, I can link to it in the plugin description. if it can be kept updated, I could possibly include it in the zip. just a warning, I've been considering writing a new template engine for the website. it shouldn't be much work to update the themes to work with this new system. if anyone's good with php and would like to have some input on the design of this new template engine, jump on irc #webauctionplus or send me a pm.

I'm also hoping to modify the website into a multi-functional portal. ambitious dreams, but I really need something I can use for multiple projects. the base code is already loosely based on a portal a designed long ago, and always had planned to make it into a framework for multiple projects or websites. currently, only the new admin pages are using the new template engine, but if it turns out well, I'll convert the rest of the website to use it also, then remove the old api.

@graveXrobber

request noted. I feel I should get started on this code soon, but don't have an eta for that yet. I can probably make it into an api of some kind, so it can be used for other things too. you could... give a player $1000 in game for reaching 1000 posts on your forum.

@Techtony96

I helped you fix this in irc the other day, but I'll post here too, in case anyone else has the same problem. this is actually an issue with php, where it fails to save the session file, but doesn't give any errors. I have code added to the web auction plus website to show you these errors, so you know what the problem is. the next update will also tell you how to fix it. this is most commonly a file permissions issue. if you don't have root access to the web server, you'll have to contact your hosting provider to fix it. here's the command to fix it:

chmod 770 -Rv /var/lib/php/session

@dawiisss

I'm unsure what you mean. could you send me a screenshot? it could possibly be caused by another plugin. if we can figure out what's going on, I can possibly fix it.

@keptlv

here are the updated items, and a fix for potions http://code.google.com/p/webauctionplus/source/detail?r=287 http://code.google.com/p/webauctionplus/source/detail?r=288

@Guarana_SUI

the table prefix should usually be left to WA_ . if you look at the bottom of that config.php file, you'll see a setting for the iConomy table, you can change this to the name of the table in your database. the iConomy use setting can be left to auto or changed to true.

@Guarana_SUI

interesting idea. do you know of any other plugins that do something similar? there are security concerns to take note of. it could possibly be best to leave it how it is.

@jwpwns

I have made recent commits to the repository. I've been pretty busy with work and other projects, and life in general. I've had another project on my mind lately, so it's hard to switch back to php. it is a huge project, that wont be finished anytime soon, so I should take another break from it and knock out a bunch more web auction code.

if anyone's good with php, and would like to contribute to this plugin, please send me a pm any time, or maybe you can catch me on irc one late night. I'm constantly working to improve my code style, and future updates will be moving in the direction of a portal framework, using more recent technology. you may have to learn how the api works, but it'll be worth it. if anyone gets interested in it, it'll probably help me get started on some documentation for it.

lots of comments :-) sorry I haven't been around to reply to them.

@Exote

the way I'm doing it is similar, but I've expanded upon the concept. php is efficient with arrays, so I load all the item information into a multi-dimensional array and grab whatever information I need from that. no extra filesystem or database access needed. item names, I do generate and cache in the database, which is retrieved at the same time as a normal query would run. I felt it would be easier to look up an image by the items name rather than looking at a bunch of numbers, which can be a pain when item id's change. not so common in minecraft, but tekkit and other mods it happens more often. there are other ways it can be done, but I'm not sure there would be any performance gain by changing it.

@Klemms

thanks for the translation update, I'll add it into the next update.

@Zach667711

I'll have to take a look at the copy I have on my desktop. there might be minor things I haven't committed to the repo yet, but it should compile with eclipse without much trouble. I've messed with maven a little, but I'm not familiar with it enough to be comfortable using it for projects. if you send me a pastebin of the errors you're seeing in console, it might be something I can fix, or help you fix on your server. I have made some major changes to the mysql connection pool. it still essentially functions the same, but does it in a slightly improved way.

@mclordcraft

when the player head icons aren't working, it's usually because gd2 isn't installed on the server. gd2 is currently required in the latest version, although it wasn't in the past. I'll have this feature finished up in the next update so it will be an optional feature to render the skins right on your own server or to use minotar. it may even be automatic.

@PLPatrick

yes, an update for 1.4.x is planned and in final development. I haven't had much time to work on it with the crazy holidays and the end of the world upon us, but I will get this update finished up soon. until then, there are no known issues with the latest release, aside from the usual glitches with new item features. books aren't working yet, can't rename items, and player heads reset to steve. I'll try to get as much of this working as I can for the next few updates.

@deleted_7536780

this is another feature I plan on adding soon. currently, what you described is the only way to do it, but it will be possible soon.
