    Warrant effectively allows you to control your users' permission ranks in-game through your forum/community system! I have designed this to work with Permissions 3 and SMF, however it is customisable to work with nearly any forum system using MySQL. All column names are customisable and information can be changed in the config.yml file.
    Warrant is perfect for subscription servers, where SMF subscriptions are used for example. It can grant VIP grouping as soon as the player logs in after taking out the subscription on the forum, or simply being moved rank on the forum.

    So far, I've had feedback of successful syncing with SMF, phpBB, XenForo, vBulletin, ccBoard and a few others I can't remember the names of :)

    Supports the following permissions plugins: PermissionsEx, bPermissions.
    Has Warrant been of any use to you?
    For now, this is my only source of income at university.
    Every donation is VERY much appreciated :D

    Version 4.0.3
    Version 3.2
    Just grab the JAR there, and drop it in your plugins folder! Simples ;)
    Let me know if there are any other features you want and if there are any bugs to squash!
    Currently, you will still need to create your own configuration file for Warrant to work from. Inside your plugins folder, create a folder called "Warrant", and inside there create a file called "config.yml". Here are example config.yml files for you to work from and customise as you wish. If anyone creates example files for any other forum system, I'd love to post them up here too!

    SMF (open)
    Code:
    forum:
        # Want to use information from a custom profile field instead of the user's forum username?
        multitable: false
        # Want to use a comma seperated list of additional groups to assign your member?
        use-additional-groups: true
        # If we're using phpBB3 or a forum system like it, then it's a pain in the arse to find a user's group! Are we using phpBB3?
        use-group-table: false
        # If you'd like, Warrant can look at if the member's "banned-field" is true or false and keep 'em out if it's true
        use-boolean-ban: false
        # Bung in the info on where to look for the member data
        usertable:
            # Name of the member data table
            name: smf_members
            # Field to find the group id to match those set in the "groups" section of this file
            group-field: id_group
            # If we're not using multitable mode, then which field should we look for the member's minecraft username in?
            username-field: member_name

    Warning! This one includes only the forum section! You will need to get the rest of the config from one above.


    What is new in version 2?
    This version has been completely written from scratch. It is extremely improved in performance, processing everything in a separate thread to avoid lag when someone logs in. Although this method waits for a non-whitelisted player to enter the game before kicking them, it does stop any lag from Warrant when anyone joins the game. You can now whitelist individual groups, and you can control which worlds Warrant alters Permissions in. You can also set Warrant to apply additional groups to players by looking into a comma separated list in of additional groups in one of your database fields. Please let me know if you want anything else from Warrant!

    What is new in version 3?
    Permissions support! Warrant now supports a large array of permissions plugins. Unfortunately because Warrant manipulates grouping of players, it means that it has to individually support the different plugins and the way that they change the player's groups, and since there is no standard here, I have to individually code in extra parts for any new permissions plugin that users want me to support, so please let me know if any more are wanted!

    Old Post (v1.2 and backward) (open)

    Go ahead and grab v1.2 for your server now...

    Download JAR: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/29840218/Warrant.jar
    Download MySQL Connector: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/29840218/mysql.jar

    Installation
    1. Place Warrant.jar in your plugins directory
    2. Place mysql.jar (the mysql java connector) into the root of your bukkit server, in the same folder as craftbukkit.jar
    3. Requires EssentialsGroupManager.jar! Add this to your plugins folder too, from the Essentials plugin suite.
    4. It is suggested to add EssentialsGroupBridge.jar too, since this will give more compatability with plugins that only talk to Permissions instead of GroupManager. Do NOT use Permissions.jar with this plugin!
    Configuration








    All configuration settings can be found in the auto-generated properties file, found in plugins/Warrant/warrant.properties


    IMPORTANT!

    You MUST create a "groups.properties" file in the plugins/Warrant folder!


    The groups.properties file takes the format of



    Code:
    #forum group id=GroupManager rank
    1=Admins
    2=Member
    Properties and explanations

    These are the properties needed to be set in the warrant.properties file...

    mysql-host - The MySQL server IP or URL

    mysql-port - Port of MySQL server (3306 by default)

    mysql-db - Database to find member data

    users-table - The table used for member data

    minecraftname-table - The OPTIONAL table used for extra data, where the user's minecraft username lies - perfect for forums that set "Minecraft username" as an additional profile field :) If left blank, the plugin will default to single table mode

    mysql-user - Name of MySQL User

    mysql-pass - Password for MySQL user

    minecraftname-field - The field which stores the user's minecraft player name. This is either on the specified table in "minecraftname-table", or it is in the default "users-table" if the former is left blank.

    group-field - The field that stores the group ids of users in "users-table"

    memberid-field - When in two table mode (see "minecraftname-table"), the field used to store the user's id in the "users-table" - used to join the two tables together

    minecraftname-table-memberid-field - When in two table mode (see "minecraftname-table"), the field used to store the user's id in the "minecraftname-table" - used to join the two tables together


    I took my own time to make this plugin and distribute it and would really appreciate a small donation if you find it useful :) Thank you!

    Doesn't Permissions 3 support hooks for changing groups?

    Also, is it possible to join an SMF membergroup when they join a Permissions group?

    I need to take another look at Permissions 3 as I'm sure there must be a way to achieve it. As for changing the forum groups from the server, I think that could be possible, although I'd have to look deeper into it.

    That's can be a perfect plugin, if you could change the user's group at the same time using forum, or ingame command /manuadd player group ...

    Could you look that please ?

    Tonight, I am going to re-write this from scratch. Feel free to ask for features and what not :) I feel the code is a little messy and I can make it more efficient :) On my list of todo:

    - Permissions 3.1 support
    - Subgroups
    - Overide the /manuadd function to force the forum engine to update too
    - Write in a "custom" setup, but also setups for each forum engine, so as to increase compatibility

    I'm getting started on this right away... after I grab a coffee :p

    Even though I already told you my idea. Just want to remind ya of using it as login details.

    Yep, login details are going into the mix too :)

    Turns out it's all going to take a little longer than I thought :p Give me a few days for release :)

    @Ant59

    i cant tell how much i love you :D I were searching for a Plugin like yours for weeks. Just found it and you just wrote you will add permissionsupport *heaven on earth*

    Permissions 3 now is supporting SQL too, right? Hope Warrant will support that.

    would like that too, even if i dont need it yet ;)

    edit: the /manuadd command ist from GroupManager, right? Pls add the command from Permissions too ;)
    Or, maybe easier add a command for warrant thats just changing the group at the mysql database/from the forum

    Did you properly configure it to listen to your MySQL Server? Does your mysql server allow logins from the IP of your Minecraft Server?


    Seems to me that it doesnt reach your server in the first place.

    Ok I got it sorted. The only problem I have is the group id for the person are they first sign up is group 14 its a post count based group. But it wont find the id just comes up Null. But it will work if I move them into a regular groups group. If you understand lol

    Ant59

    If you're using SMF, then members who are in a post-count group and not an assigned group, will always have a group id of 0. (I had this problem myself).

    Ah thanks for that I will try it

    I tried setting it to 0 and had no luck. Could it be anything else?

    The only other posibility I can think of is that groups.properties is formatted wrong. I can't think of any other way you're managing to produce no errors except for a null group :S

    Warrant 1.2 should work for CD #860. Warrant 2.0 still in development..

    I am a bit confused here ... This only has support for GroupManager/EssentialsGroupManager?
     
  22. Offline

    Ant59

    Yes. Warrant 1.2 only works with GroupManager. Personally, I feel GroupManager is the FAR superior plugin to Permissions, especially as EssentialsGroupBridge makes it compatible with all Permissions-based plugins too.

    However, Warrant 2.0 will contain native Permissions 3.1 support :)

    The reason I only developed originally to work only with GroupManager is that it is much easier to set groups with the GroupManager API than the Permissions one.

    Just wondering, when can we expect to see Warrant 2.0? REally looking forward to this. We run a Permissions based bukkit server, and have too many conflicts trying to implement essentials group manager.

    Thank you for the time and effort you have put into this plugin, We really appreciate it. :)

    Version Notes:
    • 2.3.x? We will probably remove GroupManager in favor of Permissions 3.0. Please give comments about this in our chat. There will be a bridge that maps the old commands to the new ones.
    From Essentials, it appears Group Manager is losing it's final real pillar... :\

    That's been up on the Essentials thread for a while, and when I asked iirc, I got told it was most likely going to stay as GM for now.

    I am completely bogged down with exams and stuff atm, however I'm trying my hardest to fit it all in, so I hope within the next few days it'll be somewhat usable :)

    Then I am hoping for them they will continue development, as Group Manager right now is inactive and PM3.0 did a really good job at taking advantage of it. :p

    Ant59 - despite it possibly staying in, Essentials team has told plugin devs to build for permissions, not GM, as it provides more compatibility and can be used with the bridge plugin. I don't see a point in limiting this to GM when it's inferior. If you don't want to add it in, will you at least open source to allow someone to fork and add permissions support?

    Oh no, I don't think you've read my previous posts. I'm planning on Permissions 3.1 support foremost in Warrant 2.0. It's a matter of that I was told by the Essentials team in their IRC channel, that they were sticking with GM for now. Perms 3.1 unfortunately has more functionality. I rather enjoyed the simplicity of GM, but still progress is progress.

    hmm odd, they told us not to bother supporting Essentials cause of the bridge :eek:

    That is odd. Perhaps they may have decided the other way since I last heard. Well I'm moving my server to Permissions 3.1 so Warrant will support it.
