How to use the API?

Permissions Bridge by @matter123 : http://tetragaming.com/codename_B/dev/BananaPermissionsBridge.jar
Example Plugin: http://tetragaming.com/codename_B/dev/BananaChat.jar

import com.ubempire.permissions.PermissionHandler;
http://tetragaming.com/codename_B/dev/BananaPermissions/

Working on keeping things as super simple as possible - basically if you want to have all permissions just /addnode groupname *

Another thing that used to annoy me was setting up special "clan groups" for people, well now if people have the permission node com.ubempire.permissions.tag they can easily set their own tag.

This plugin (obviously) uses its own permissions system, so in order to use the commands you will need to be the console, have the permission node * or have the permission node com.ubempire.permissions.admin

AntiBuild is automatic - to allow a group to build you need to add the node com.ubempire.permissions.build
This will also prevent players without the permission node from accessing chests, or doing anything else involving interaction other than walking around looking at things.


Coming soon:

• More API functions

interesting

made a bridge for permissions 3 to this
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/20045043/bridge.jar

This is compatible with most plugins I presume?

Oh you beautiful soul.

thats a compliment right?

Oh yes
I spent hours trying to do that.

Does your bridge support the tag(Player player); as well, or just the has(Player player, String node); ?

EDIT: if it doesn't support the permissions "tag" or whatever they call it, then could you add it? I have an api call for it

what is a tag the group prefix?

Yeah, the group OR the player prefix (though in this case, they are both called from the one API call, which returns player prefix in preference of group prefix)

Basically make this plugin work with existing chat plugins, and we'll be laughing

EDIT: if you could get it working with things like iChat for 2.x that would be AMAZING too

I'll leave you to it, as you know what you're doing far better than me I'll get working on my API calls.

ok i need a api call to get groups by name and a list of the groups and what group a player is in

grieferkill will be the first plugin to natively support banana permissions

ok this line is used to get the group prefix
per.getGroupPrefix(p.getWorld().getName(), per.getGroup(p.getWorld().getName(), p.getName()));

Ok, it will be
String getGroup(Player player);
Boolean isInGroup(Player player, String group);
String[] getGroups();

What do you mean "get groups by name" though? What good will getting the group do you, what exactly do you want the function to return?

*scratches head*

.... Why?

Why what? I wanted a permissions plugin that was stupidly simple to setup and get working

Now works with iChat

Very interesting, you amazed me yet again.

/tag may be a little too generic though, may cause conflicts.

Hmm.
Reminds me of the old hMod group system haha.

Looking forward to when this gets released - keep up the good work!

Point taken, it's now /tagset

Other than heroes, do you know of any other plugins which use transient permissions?

Thanks, I've never used hmod but this was just how I wanted stuff organised

I'm still on Permissions 2.7.4.

Me too, well I was, I'm now on BananaPermissions (which should in theory be compatible with all permissions version, once I'm finished with it)

You God!

Smells lemony.

I'm not a plugin dev, I'm just wondering, do plugin developers have to change their plugins for their plugin to work with this and Permissions? Or will a Permissions-compatible plugin not work with BananaPermissions?

if you use the bridge
all plugins think you have permissions installed

If it works with permissions, and you use the bridge, it will work with this.

I might just have to pick this up

Uhm code?

Looks like you've got old versions of the stuff - update everything.
