Plugin Authors: How to hook into Permissions​

Permissions 2.x is being discontinued! 3.0 can be found HERE!!!


I am discontinuing Permissions 2.x and leaving the project. Permissions is not going away though! Since 2.6 I have been working closely with another developer and added them to the team. For the past several version they have not only been assisting with 2.x but also doing a lot of the development of much anticipated 3.x. rcjrrjcr will be taking over as lead developer of Permissions from 3.x forward. I have full faith in them and after working closely with them on the development on the last few version and the next major version I feel that I am leaving this project in more than capable hands. I put way to much work into this project to just leave it with anyone, and this is one of the few programs that I am incredibly proud of.

Many people will probably wonder why I am leaving again after taking over the project just a few months ago. I could quote drama and headaches, of which there were quite a few with this project. Unfortunately real life happens. Many people already know that I have been having medical issues here lately. Unfortunately while they have gotten better, they have not gone away. This coupled with other real life commitments, going to school full time, and starting up my own company, I am currently in the process of being laid off from work. At this point I have so much stuff going on in my life and am being pulled in so many directions that I am not able to get any work done on anything. This has lead to me missing commitments and letting people down on multiple things.

Permissions is also a very high maintenance plugin that requires a lot of attention and time. Right now I am not able to devote that time and do not feel it is fair for me to try to continue to be the lead developer on it. I had originally thought that adding other members to the team would be helpful, but unfortunately this just lead to frustration for them and myself as I just was not able to commit to the project enough. Hence, 3.0 has been rewritten almost exclusively by rcjrrjcr with minimal contributions by myself.

At this point I will be stepping away from the project to focus more on real life and to try to free up some time for other projects and to work with more individual like the wonderful HeroCraft Coding team to fulfill some commitments that I made to them a long time ago and sadly did not come through on. I feel that this is the best for all involved, both myself and the other Permissions developers, as well as the community who deserve someone who can contribute more time and attention to them and supporting them. I do not want to see Permissions end up like many other plugins with an absentee programmer and just slowly wasting away from a great plugin with a lot of potential to a headache with no support.

I will still be active in the community, just not as much as not in the same way. I'm sure my server will be more than happy to have their head admin back and active again as well.

Thank you and happy gaming.

[/SPOILER]

 

Er, it is because your formatting of your yml is all wrong.

Should look like this. Notice the SPACES under the "permissions:".

Code:

groups:
    Default:
        default: true
        info:
            prefix: '&7'
            suffix: '&f'
            build: true
        inheritance:
        permissions:
            - 'essentials.me'
            - 'essentials.tpaccept'
            - 'essentials.tptoggle'
            - 'essentials.warp'

You also have to name the config after the world.

Try reading the instructions, they tell you all this in the OP.

 

I hate to seem like I don't know what I'm doing, and jumping straight into the deep end, but how would I make it so a group can use only a specific command such as /give or /i and nothing else?
I have assumed from looking at other .yml files that I would put the command under permission such as (Bearing in mind I have NO Experience with this stuff, and before you say it, no I'm not stupid, this is how I learn html and css, through hand-on stuff):

builder:
default: false
info:
prefix: ''
suffix: ''
build: true
inheritance:
- Default
permissions:
- give
- i


Or am I completely wrong?

Also I am assuming I'm changing the name from RENAME-ME.yml to config.yml?

Thanks for your help

EDIT: Nevermind, I have found out what I need to put in, I didnt realise it was as easy as it is

 

alright i just updated my server to 612 and permissions still doesnt work im not quite sure what the problem is because im new to bukkit and am very tired right now (probably half the problem) but im gonna post my permissions file and see if you guys can help me

groups:
Default:
default: true
info:
prefix: ''
suffix: ''
build: false
inheritance:
permissions:
- '
builder:
default: false
info:
prefix: ''
suffix: ''
build: true
inheritance:
permissions:
- 'micro.minecartstarter.can''wolfpound.use''signColours.*'
Moderator:
default: false
info:
prefix: ''
suffix: ''
build: true
inheritance:
- Default
permissions:
- 'cuboidplugin.select''cuboidplugin.cuboid''micro.minecartstarter.can''wolfpound.create''wolfpound.use''wolfpound.adopt''signColours.*'
Admins:
default: false
info:
prefix: ''
suffix: ''
build: true
inheritance:
permissions:
- '*'
Owner:
default: false
info:
prefix: ''
suffix: ''
build: true
inheritance:
permissions:
- '*'

thats just groups but i dont have any users set yet

 

Or just use the /reload command which reloads all plugins.

Well, I expect there are plugins that override /kick, but yeah, generally you'd be correct.

Yes, but not with Permissions. I posted a link to a separate plugin that will allow it earlier in the thread (three or four pages back), but I'll give it a thread of its own soon.

If you want it now and don't want to hunt, it's here. Keep in mind that it's a bit glitchy at the moment.

 

@ryanertel See how your permissions are listed like this?

Code:

- 'permission.example''example.command'

You actually want it like this:

Code:

- 'Permission.example'
- example.command'

There's another way you can do it which will let you put all the permissions on one line, but I'm not actually sure how to do that.

@Celtic Minstrel
Ah, ok. I'll add that, thank you ^_^

 

Ty

 

Hey, I have a problem with Permissions. (Im using 612) I have iChat installed. When I log onto my server, all my Permission configuration doesn't load. Im just a normal op, with no custom prefix. Normal players are YELLOW. Wtf? Because I am op, and not admin, I can't access certain commands, for example Magic Carpet. Please help. All my plugins are updated for 612, I have no errors in the server window. Help please.

 

@Itssnowing
Here is a pastebin of the startup with the first 3 Permissions errors.
http://pastebin.com/zwgAB8nb

 

when i load permission (only) i get this in console at every startup:

[Info] Invalid config file found and converted to proper name/format.

is it serious?

 

please update this im getting alot of random errors from mods that should work find with this.

 

Naw, just ignore it. Everyone's been getting it.

Wouldn't that be the mods' faults, not permissions?

Anyway, what errors?
(You might want to post the errors in their respective threads too.)

Post your config, please. Are you getting any errors?

Permissions errors and how to solve them!

Could not load plugins\Permission.jar in plugins:Null

If you get this error:

"Could not load plugins\Permissions.jar in plugins: null"

From what I've found, it could be one of two problems:
1) Your CB build and your Permissions version don't work.
or
2) You have a problem in your config file. Download this PDF, and look near the end of the error. Does the PDF file say what the problem is, and how to fix it? Do that!
If not, post here.

Invalid Config file found and converted to proper name/format

This error:

"Invalid config file found and converted to proper name/format."
Will happen almost no matter what. Ignore it, it doesn't do anything.

So I downloaded the .jar file and....

Stop. If you're starting for the first time, download the .zip file, open it, and drag the contents into the plugins folder. Don't use the extract option, otherwise you'll end up extracting the contents of the .jar file. Just drag the contents.
After dragging the contents out, you should have a folder with the config file in it. Viola!

Permissions-worldname-.yml

Getting a permissions-worldname-.yml file in your plugins folder is a bug. It (I think) means that your real permissions config.yml has something wrong with it, or it's not there. I'm not quite so sure about this, but download the .zip file from the first post and extract the contents to your plugins folder. (Confirmation needed)

Config file info:

-They need spaces, not tabs.
-If you have the - '*' permission, you don't need any other nodes for that person/group, unless you want to take a permission away from them. If you want to do that, give them a node vaguely like this: - '-example.node'
(See that extra dash? It's important.)
-Read the comments in the file, seriously. They say a lot.
-When putting someone into a a group, make sure it's spelled correctly. Putting someone in the group "Admin" while the group is called "Admins" will not put them in that group.
-If a group has the - '*' permission, don't have them inherit from another group.

/Permissions -reload all command giving console errors

Try using /reload. This will reload all your plugins, so be warned!
OR.
Open your config file, and see if there's a user in it with a name entirely of numbers. Put quotes around their name. Try the command again. If it still gives errors, restart the server.
(Thanks to Celtic Minstrel and Fffizzz for the solutions to these!)

(Any errors I've missed? Something I got wrong? Another way to fix an error? Tell me!)
(Coppied this over to the new page for the sake of people seeing it.
(Is it okay for me to keep posting this?)
(Removed code tags because they keep screwing with the post.)

@TheYeti can you make a permanent link to this post somewhere? That way I can just edit it and have people see the errors, without needing to link it to them/repost continuously.

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

even with "*" as permissions it tells me i dont have permissions. My admin cant do almost everything ... here is my permissions
http://pastebin.com/R9JefZcF

 

well the big error is that the config line wont let me add any lines at all anywhere in the file, without breaking it. Im using Notepad++ just like it says to and i can type stuff but its all turning red meaning its broken.

 

According to this, your admins don't have all permissions, your "op" group does. I assume that's what you were referring to? Regardless, your OP group should not inheirit admin permissions because they already have all permissions anyways.

 

red stuff just means changed. it does that to me too. I just save it is working. I did set the 4 spaces for tab thing in the settings.

 

Add little quote things around each permission. Currently, the permissions in your config file look like this:

Code:

- example.permission
- plugin.command

What you want it to look like is this:

Code:

- 'example.permission'
- 'plugin.command'

 

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!
(my * need that also? so like'*'?) because thats how it is and not working

I converted from groupmanager my excuse lack of knowledge =P

 

Would this be a bad time to mention that groupmanager and permissions use the same format for the config files?
Anyway, you want a ' not a ".
But yes, it's - '*'.

 

add a option so you can use MySQL? Shouldn't be to hard.

 

Change log, in the download:

"2.5.4"
"3.0"

Title and stuff needs updating.

Change log, in the OP:

"2.5.4"
"2.5.5"
> No 3.0

Well, 2.5.5 seems to be missing from the change log.

 

It worked perfectly fine on groupmanager =)
and thats how my '*' permission is and its still not working with everything

I get the "you dont have permissions for this" message

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

Two notes.

1. You only actually need to quote the permissions if there is a * in them.
2. Double quotes work perfectly fine as a substitute for single quotes as long as you're consistent.

Just to save people from correcting things that will actually work fine.

 

What would I do without you XD
Edit: Though it's probably good for people to get used to using quotes >.>

 

Not a bad thing to get used to, but less work for us if we don't say "Oh, that's wrong" when it's not.

 

Fair 'nuff XD

 

Any idea why '*' still not giving all permissions?

*taking advantage of having two knowledgeable people active * =)

 

ok so whenever i try to type in a command it says that i do not have access to this command but my permissions looks like this

Code:

groups:
    Default:
        default: true
        info:
            prefix: ''
            suffix: ''
            build: false
        inheritance:
        permissions:
            - 'foo.bar'
    Moderator:
        default: false
        info:
            prefix: ''
            suffix: ''
            build: true
        inheritance:
            - Default
        permissions:
            - 'bar.foo'
    Admins:
        default: false
        info:
            prefix: ''
            suffix: ''
            build: true
        inheritance:
        permissions:
            - '*'

##
# Users denote which users are included in which group.

# Derpina is a member of the admin group but does not have access

            prefix: 'Moo'
            suffix: 'Cow'
        permissions:
            - 'herp.derp'
    Derpina:
        group: Admins
        permissions:
            - '-derp.derp'

 

@Donny Try adding more spaces. Right now you have two for each group, and four for each groups settings, and six for each group's prefix/suffix. Try giving the groups four spaces, the settings eight, and the prefix/suffix parts twelve.

Also, each permission needs twelve spaces, too.

Edit:
Also, putting /command (ex. /god, /heal, /region) into the permissions won't work. You'll need to figure out what the actual permission node is before that will work.

Edit: If you're going for knowledgeable, listen to Celtic over me. He knows more, I just post spam so I look like I know things.

@Jake Rees Are you getting any errors?
Edit:
What's the name of your config file?

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

just config, and there is a random text file in the plugins file that says (myservername)Permissions which is blank on the inside

 

Your config file is called config? There's your problem, you'll need to change the name so that it's by the same name as your world
