i was thinking of allowing players to for example pay $1 in real life for $100 for iconomy money, anyone know a way to do this or possibly wanna write a plugin to do it? i would use paypal for paying..
Not too sure on the last part of the chain (site->bukkit), but paypal's IPN system would be useful (Paypal connects to your site on a specific page with transaction information whenever someone credits your account, and I think you can tailor it to specific transactions). site->bukkit is the tricky one. Also does iConomy allow commands from the console?
it could be done via a mysql database? when player types a command they recieve any outstanding credit? once player is credited,it could be removed from mysql db. i'm not sure if it allows console commands, but i use iconomy 5 just so you know (supported a lot more than 6)
@patey My plugin buycraft does exactly what you want, with a hosted webstore and bukkit plugin, all automatic, check it out link is in my sig.
oh right, yea looking back i noticed someone suggested it, enjoy the plugin and if you need any help feel free to ask me on the plugins thread.
