Inactive [ADMIN/GENERAL/MISC.]SignLink - Access to a webbrowser with just a sign [1.2.5-R3.0]

Have you ever wanted your server users to have an easier way to access links to your forum? Youtube channel? Server Website? Well with this plugin you can. SignLink will allow you to access all the urls you want with just the click of a sign. The signs are completely indestructible and can only be placed by people with the correct permission nodes! This truly could bring your server to the next level.

Features:

• Link users to websites by just having them click on a sign
• Link uses to a website by having them click a sign and a link appearing in chat!
• Permission nodes to only allow the most trusted members to access the plugin(only available for bukkit permissions and bPermissions)
• commands for adding links to signs.
• commands for removing links from signs.
• Completely hidden URLs so they don't clog up your sign.
• A config file that is completely customizable.
• Indestructible signs that can only be broken by people with the correct permissions.

Commands:

• /setlink <url> - Make sure you are looking at the face of the sign before typing this command. Then simple type the url you want the sign to redirect the user to.
• /removelinksign - again make sure you are looking at the face of the sign before typing this command. Then type it to remove the sign and the link associated with it.

Permission Nodes:

• signlink.setlink - Gives the user access to the /setlink <url> command.
• signlink.removesign - Gives the user access to the /removelinksign command

Change Log:

• 1.0
  • Officially released the plugin.
• 2.0
• • Modified the way links work. Players now click a sign and have the links appear in chat. They then can click on the link in chat to get directed to the website!

Dude. That's awesome.

Oh that's a great idea !

That is pretty awesome actually. I'm wondering how you did this :O

I'm actually curious to see how the function works on a "Official" Server Host. This was tested on a "Normal" computer and accessed via Hamaci.

Thanks!

Thank you

without a client mod? nice

Looking at the code, this WONT work on non-local servers. Sorry bro..

Also, something I noted, you are instantly casting (Player) to the sender object.
NEVER do that. If the console sends the command you'll have a biiiiig error.
Also, a good thing to do is to re-use things. Player permission = (Player)sender is the exact same thing is Player play = (Player)sender. No need to have 2 player objects.

That sucks.

Thanks mate. I've noticed that this indeed will not work...I was testing it on my computer where I had the host setup. So it appeared to work. As for the messy code that's just how I roll Nah I know it's a bad practice...

Released v2.0!

I made it exactely like the man in the video but if I punch the sign, the URL just appear in the Chat (

EDIT: This error appears if the server you're running a time
and you have not clicked on by me

Please read the change log....

Okay it don't solved my problem

A little after the plugin is started up it continuously spams the error in the console. There's nothing that triggers it, it just happens.

Then you didn't read it well... Modified the way links work. Players now click a sign and have the links appear in chat. They then can click on the link in chat to get directed to the website!

What other plugins are you using?

I fucking love you! Epic plugin, I've been waiting for one like this that takes advantage of the new browser launching system within Minecraft

Is it possible to provide a version with the immediat redirect after hitting the sign? I am aware of the risk potential but you could share an unofficial version maybe ?

Thank you! I appreciate it!

I wish but the current version of bukkit doesn't provide an API for links. The version I had earlier opened a link because it was hosted on my computer and would open the link via the host. I have no way of redirecting the link to a client without a client mod.

damit i already expected that :/ because i couldnt find it in the API either

Maybe in the next awesome version of bukkit.
