Solved Permisisons

Hello,

I've got a question about permissions. How would I go about adding support for the '*'. I was thinking about getting all of the user's permissions and appending .* to the end.
But, I don't know. Any ideas?

Much appreciated <3 Tom.

 

I am pretty sure that the permissions plugins handle the wildcard.

 

More details bro.
But yea what TheSpherret said.

 

Yes I know they do @TheSpherret. However, I don't know how to do it?

 

thomasb454 I just told you that you don't have to do that, the permissions plugins handle it for you.

 

I'm creating the permission plugin.

 

thomasb454 Ffs you could have said that.

 

No need to get so mad, sorry for forgetting to add a piece of information.

• He didn't get "so mad"
• That's a vital piece of information you left out.

Try looking at http://wiki.bukkit.org/Developing_a_permissions_plugin

Let's say I have these permission nodes:

Code:

'my.permission.node.one'
'my.permission.node.two'
'my.permission.node.three'

And I want to check if someone has each of these permission nodes by using the '*' wildcard:

Code:

'my.permission.node.*'

Simply iterate through all permission nodes that begin with:

Code:

'my.permission.node.'

 

I appreciate it.

You always try to instigate an argument, although I appreciated the link.

What you said about * nodes is not true.
The '*' node is something only supported by 2 plugins, PermissionsEx and GroupManager, PEX does some reflection hackery which you should not ever replicate, and GM gets all known permissions and gives them, including default: false node, making it a node you should not just give away without consideration.

plugin.* is defined by the plugin it self, not by the permission plugin (Technically PEX does, but you shouldnt do it if you plan to write a good permission plugin) and is by any means a regular node.

You should let the plugins handle it and not define your own * nodes.

I wasn't attempting to spark an argument, my bad for coming across that way.

 

Necrodoom I was referring to PEX in my argument, as it is the plugin that I use, and assume most other servers use as well.

 

Brace for reasons not to use PEX.

Thanks, I appreciated this information.
