Bukkit

@Vinoto that's here actually:

https://github.com/Waterflames/Websend and https://github.com/Waterflames/WSEvents

also, here seems to be the issue:

https://bukkit.atlassian.net/browse/BUKKIT-2939

plugin devs need to rename the method names

This is also a great reason why having source code somewhere (like Github) would be good - even if the author doesn't update, users can compile the source to get at least a basic version working.

Sucks having to sit here hoping theres an update coming anytime soon..

@Ezriilc

If you mean an alternative to Websend, theres also JSONAPI (which works with 1.4.4). I use both as with JSONAPI I have a wide variety of things I can do from Web -> Server (much more and better done than Websend) and use Websend for Player -> Web (which JSONAPI can't do).

I'm satisified with the Bukkit development so far. It's stable enough (as long as it's not a development build) and the API is pretty complete. There's no point in complaining about new things being added to Bukkit as we're eventually all going to have to port to the Mojang server API when it's released..

@Vinoto

I tend to agree that we may be relying too heavily on Websend.

In fact, I'm beginning to feel a little abandoned by the Bukkit team as well as Websend. It's like when Minecraft came out of beta and hired the Bukkit team, everything came to a virtual standstill development-wise.

Anybody got any ideas for alternatives? I also use WorldEdit/WorldGuard and Multi-Verse/etc. on mine and coordinating updates across all of them is hard enough without the long delays.

@uncovery

I never said there was no need or desire to upgrade early, or that Websend and/or Bukkit are being upgraded as fast as everyone would like, those are both straw-man arguments.

Perhaps instead of posting unsurprising error messages resulting from incompatible products being used together, we should be discussing what to do about the lack of updates. It's starting to be an issue even for my small, private server.

Well said @uncovery. Some of us have to upgrade quickly or have the server be virtually empty.

Also, we use Websend for some critical functions in our server (perhaps we're a little more dependent on it than we should be) so while I understand only development builds of Bukkit are available, it's better to report bugs and have the author(s) know about them and possibly update sooner.

@Ezriilc

Well that is a question of point of view. One point of view could be (seems to be yours):

• We only work on plugins when a beta or higher is out. We do not care about any (even fatal) errors the plugin throws on development builds, and do not want to hear about it.

The other point of view could be:

• Bukkit is already 2 full releases behind minecraft vanilla and most plugins work with the current 1.4.2 bleeding builds, or even with 1.4.4 (I am running 25+ plugins, only websend breaks with 1.4.4). Most of the servers upgraded to 1.4.2 at least, and the users are asked to upgrade to 1.4.4 now also. If there is a fatal error for a plugin, it would be good to know. Why? Depending on the change in Bukkit that caused the plugin to break, it could be something that will stick around and we can start fixing it now instead of waiting for a final release of 1.4.4 bukkit, which might take 1-2 more weeks. That way, the servers using my plugin or even depend on it (mine does) do not lose users because they have not updated yet. Logores devs think that way for example andfixed their plugin already with a 1.4.4 release.

I guess the gist is that during the time after the update of minecraft 1.4.1 and now to 1.4.4, people know that if they do not upgrade their server, they lose 90% of their users until they upgrade too. And this makes everyone try to upgrade to the latest MC version ASAP. And the question what the build is labled as becomes much less important. Just like it was for minecraft itself. How many people played it in Alpha status?

Of course, the update that breaks websend might be a temporary issue. I do not know. And I did not ask anybody to "Fix it immediately!" or anything similar. I am simply reporting an error so that the devs can know that users are having issues. And that they are patiently waiting for an update. Nothing else. We'll just ignore our users that have installed 1.4.4 and go and play something else in the meantime.

Re: Errors with Bukkit 1.4.4...

Am I missing something?

1. That version of Bukkit is a a Development Build, and not even a Beta.

2. No version of Websend that I can find is designed to run on that version of Bukkit.

Why is anyone posting errors from it? Isn't that kinda pointless?

I am getting this error here on startup with the bleeding 1.4.4 builds:

@cookcraft

I'm sorry, but I don't understand you what you're trying to say.

Are you having a problem using Websend?

Hi there. Thanks for Websend, its great and we use it for updating our website with info about our Bukkit server (list of players online and that kind of stuff). It would be very useful when Websend could automatically send a ws-post every x minutes, maybe interval optional in config. Is that possible? Thanks again for this great plugin.

@LanToaster Agreed.

@cookcraft Websend will certainly do everything you need, and the developers are very helpful.

In general, I doubt that any plugin advertised in such a way is worth spit. Besides, we don't want to reward that kind of behavior with patronage, even if they had the best plugin ever, which I'm sure isn't the case.

@KittyPL: its very Unpolite to advertise your own Plugin on a Different Plugin Page.

@CookCraft: You cannot possibly explain all things you can do with the Plugin. You can almost do anything. Websend gives you an API to send Commands from your HomePage to the Server.

So it can do anything that you would do per Console or Ingame (with some Restrictions, as for example WorldEdit/Guard commands need a PlayerInput.

what is the char encode for chinese. I send a chinese char in PHP to the websend and bukkit. It can't show the chinese with true.

Using Websend 2.1 , server is java7

Also possible to have different ws command for different urls?

like would just be nice if the config could take a command name that you put in, and assign a url for it.. would save time trying to use other plugins like mycommand or skript that just make a prettier command for the samething.
