Hi there, I was wondering how I might be able to go about making this plugin for my server: All players who want the member rank must register at our forum, at which point our staff has to physically navigate to said forum and check for their name. I want them to be able to do something like /check <name> which will return a boolean value of either yes, that name is registered or no, that name could not be found. Where should I start on my quest for parsing through the html search page and finding a name within it? Is there an API? Sorry for the basic questions. Thank you for your time.
You'd need something else besides bukkit. I learned alittle about Web Services in school the other day. I'm noob at this. But I think that's where you need to look... not sure. Or.. maybe not. I've seen people use MySQL to save/load data. So if you can hook into your account database.... you can create this.
