    am I the only one getting the JSON error right after you login to the webauction site? Something must have gone wrong with the update then..

    @Exote , it would be great if you can just click on the item picture on the home page and it will take you right to the graph. Some users dont think about going to item info :p

    Awesome! I add this now. Good call man.

    Done! New version on github or at top of bukkitdev page.

    Cheers for the testing :p

    Added a basic twitter feed to the web auction. It 'tweets' everytime an auction is created or an item sold. No idea if this is useful or not. But was just messing around with the twitter api and it looked like fun. Will make the twitter messages more configurable soon (when I set up something to parse strings with custom tags for things like price and quantity from the config)

    If people struggle to set it up twitter side I will create tutorial. For those wanting to see it in action. (on my small server, not much auction activity): http://twitter.com/#!/TWM_Bot

    So, sorry for being a retard here, but I seem to have a rather silly problem...

    So, with the other website stuff I have on my dedicated server, to acces it in a web browser, I just go to my server's IP then /[foldername]/
    so, I would think it was (random numbers instead of IP): 12.234.567.89/WebInterface/
    but that dosent work.. I have got it all installed.. So basically.. saying my ip was 12.234.567.89 and the "WebInterface" folder is in my root directory, with the name WebInterface, what would the webadress I would need to go to be? :p

    Stock? interest? :p

    Hmmm... Stock did give me an idea.
    A global (over all servers) currency exchange. I've worked out some of the maths and it seems to work. Say for the sake of this; stone holds the same value to each of us, now it may cost different amount on different web auctions, but that is because of the rest of the economy, some servers may have a very low price for stone say $1, but that is because you can get a lot for your $ elsewhere in the server (maybe you can buy a town for as little as $100). But in another server the price for stone is about $50, however money is really easy to get hold of, but the ratio of ease of money gain to cost of item would be the same across the two servers.

    Therefore we can calculate a standardised value of each server's currency. And thus trade one for another.

    To make it more interesting (and true to life?) I also thought that the more money a server makes (x% tax on each sale in auction) the more that servers currency should be worth. Meaning that more active servers with more people and with a higher GNP would have a currency of higher value.

    The interesting bit would be trading between your own currency and another server's, as the amount of money a server makes (tax) per day will change, as will the market price of items. So if you are clever you could buy some of a currency when it has lost some value and then sell it when it increases, making a profit.

    ...

    Well I got a bit carried away there, and I'm no economist. But the idea seems like an interesting one. And not impossible to implement, all it would need would be a single central site with some scripts running and a database. Each web auction website could then call the scripts on the central site to check the current values, and player's "portfolio".

    Anyway, ramble over. Would there be any interest in this?

    I came up with a suggestion earlyer this morning.. How abut adding an optional cut that the "state"(aka server) would take? Like a tax... say you bought something for 10 000.. the person you bought it form, would recive only 7k, and the last 3k would just go to the "state" (aka disappear).. Ofc the "tax"% would have to be changable :)
    Also, permission nodes for who can (for example) make auctions would be nice :)

    Seems like something that would requiere a "global" server system... all servers connect to that server.

    They would only have to connect to a central server to send reports of activity and prices, and then to update a player's portfolio of what currencies they currently own. The rest of the website can run as it does now.

    Top idea in my opinion
    [WebAuction]
    MailBox
    All
    -
    (So incredibly needed! - And if items would exceed inventory space, give off a message saying no room in inventory as opposed to dropping on the floor)
    ----------------------------------------------
    Thats all that comes to mind and all my players have been begging for :p - Mailbox is such a hassle to click.
    -
    Another idea, not as important though, When clicking Mail It, in the web interface, maybe an input box where you can specify how much of the item to mail, incase youd like to leave some in your online account.

    @Exote
    Another idea since your looking for those would be more permission nodes. I think this is what the plugin needs now.
    I would like to give Builder users the ability to purchase items on webauction (Which would be quite simple giving them the permissions to use webauction signs -already possible-) However I would only like them to be able to buy and mail the items back.
    -
    I can already prevent them from using the deposit chests, however they would still be able to simply buy and resell on the webinterface which is the one thing that would be nice to prevent. Maybe a config field in the config file that would link to permission groups.
    onlygroupsell=<true/false>
    onlygroupsellgroups=<group1,group2>
    -
    This would generate more interest in my Resident group on the server, as well generate more traffic to the webinterface as Builders (Anyone who joins my server) would be able to buy through it.

    Just did the mailbox thing, was a bit lazy about it, no new signs. But the current ones now unload all mail they can onto the player. Anyway, improvement I think. Link on the bukkitdev main page (not packaged yet)

    Your probably setting something up wrong.
    I've just tested the market on tons of Browsers, all working perfectly fine.

    Idk, it works perfecly for me too, and the people I actually talk through it seems to have no problem with it.. Could just be some people being stupid.. but its a bit weird that all of them use IE :p

    Btw, a "send all" button would be nice in the webinterface

    So I just updated to 0.3.2, the .jar and the web files... I replaced my SQL info in the web file config... I can log in to the web config.... But I continuously get a "loading" for the data. It also does not show my iConomy money(webauction and iconomy SQL database is the same).... All of this worked before I just updated.... Ideas?

    Does anyone have the webfiles from pre-0.3.2 update? I unfortunately deleted them, and they worked well for me...

    Done this too. May need testing. Will add permission node to the dev page. :p

    Look down the right hand side of the bukkit dev page.
