Can't get Groupmanager prefixes to show

I think I may have messed up the essentials config here it is http://pastebin.com/8EpuhUTS

But if that's not the case here's my groups.yml too http://pastebin.com/QVW0X754


anyways I made special prefixes to represent Lord of the Rings but I need help the prefixes don't show up in the server but the other permissions are working fine. please help

 

Is EssentialsChat running correctly?

 

Pastebin essentials config and GM groups config

 

I'm sorry what exactly does pastebin mean? new to the whole server stuff. and also I don't know if essentialschat is running how can I tell?

 

http://pastie.org/
change the format to YAML

 

http://pastebin.com/

Is it installed? Check your plugins folder

 

essentialschat is installed. do I have to configure the essentialschat.jar?

um it is yaml...

Ignore that, just copy and paste your Essentials config.yml and groups.yml (seperately!) into the input box on pastebin.com, submit it and post the generated pastebin URLs here

 

right I changed the files in my original message to pastebin links

 

Your essentials pastebin is gone

 

fixed it

 

particlepants Your groups.yml was a mess. Try this one: http://pastebin.com/9Cg4gCY0

 

thanks jaguar I'll let you know if this works

ok so my prefixes are still not showing up I appreciate you fixing my groups.yml but I think the problem is probably my essentials config. I changed things in there in an effort to make them show before I came to these forums for help. I think I probably fucked up the essentials config

particlepants Your essentials chat config is messed up. Instead of this:

Default: '{WORLDNAME} &2Citizen &r{DISPLAYNAME}&7:&r {MESSAGE}'

Try this:

Default: '{WORLDNAME} [{GROUP}] &2Citizen &r{DISPLAYNAME}&7:&r {MESSAGE}'

For every rank

 

Well no it says citizen because the prefix is supposed to say citizen for the default group
Lord for the builder group
Maiar for the moderator group
Valar for the admin group
and Eru Iluvatar for the Owner group

 

particlepants You have to do:

Default: '{WORLDNAME} [{GROUP}] &2Citizen &r{DISPLAYNAME}&7:&r {MESSAGE}'

and set the prefix with group manager.

 

it still didn't work... the prefix just will not show up I am considering just giving up on this

 

permissionsex to the rescue...
