Reloading the config?

Ok so i'm having trouble reloading my config so that it updates my plugin. Basically at the moment it kinda works however, it works by reloading the server then using the reload command which obviously isn't how it is meant to be. Here is my code and just ask if you don't understand what parts of it mean

PHP:

        if (args[0].equalsIgnoreCase("reload") && args.length == 1) {

                    if (!cs.hasPermission("iskin.reload")) {
                        cs.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "You do not have permission");
                        return false;
                    }
                        plugin.reloadConfig();
                        plugin.saveConfig();
                        for(Player p : plugin.getServer().getOnlinePlayers()) {
                            plugin.updatePlayerSkin(p.getName());
                        }
                        plugin.updateGroupSkin();
                        cs.sendMessage(ChatColor.GREEN + "Reload complete");
                        return true;
                    }

 

This is a name conflict with the built in reload command, call your something else to avoid trouble.

 

No its not read again thats arg[0] one which is reload therefore command is /iskin reload

 

Oh, I miss understood... anyways...
You assigned the returned object from getConfig to a class field didn't you....
Either don't do that, or reassign it, or only assign it to local variables

as warned here: http://wiki.bukkit.org/Introduction_to_the_New_Configuration#Obtaining_the_Configuration_object

 

@Sagacious_Zed I'm not sure I understand could you give me an example of how this would work?
EDIT: nvm I got it to work finally thank you taken me ages to figure this out thank you thank you thank you

Sigh....
Assuming in your main class you have something like this

Code:

FileConfiguration config;
...
public void onEnable {
...
config = getConfig()
...
}
...

Either don't do this and replace every instance of the variable "config" with the method call "getConfig()" in your code.
OR
add a "plugin.config = getConfig()" after "plugin.reloadConfig()" as bad fix.
OR
in any methods you use config instantiate and assign config inside that method with something like

Code:

FileConfiguration config = plugin.getConfig()

or if the method is in your main class

Code:

FileConfiguration config = getConfig()

 

@Sagacious_Zed well thank you but I got it to work but add this to the tutorial for added help for people
