Per-player YAML files

Well, I've tried and tried and truth be told, I'm kind of stuck here.
Basically, what I need to do is create a per-player yml file (example justcool393.yml) in a folder called players (inside the plugin's data folder)

Now, when I create the code, it nothing to the file but the first few comments I put in the yml file.

Code:

public YamlConfiguration getConfig(String name) {
        File folder = new File(getDataFolder() + ("/players/"));
        File file = new File(getDataFolder() + "/players/" + name +".yml");
        if(!folder.exists()) {
            folder.mkdir();
        } else if(!file.exists()) {
                try {
                    YamlConfiguration fileConfig = YamlConfiguration.loadConfiguration(file);
                    InputStream defConfigStream = this.getResource("playerDefaults.yml");
                    if (defConfigStream != null) {
                        //Main plugin;
                        YamlConfiguration defConfig =                   YamlConfiguration.loadConfiguration(defConfigStream);
                        fileConfig.setDefaults(defConfig);
 
                        fileConfig.save(file);
                    }
                } catch (IOException e) {
                    log.severe("There was an error while trying to save a player's config file: " + e.getMessage());
                }
            }
        return YamlConfiguration.loadConfiguration(file);
    }

What I'm trying to do is create a reward system (that's add to-able by people who have permission) for voters. Any help would be appericated.

The problem is that when I do the command, it calls the above function and copies only part of the comments:

Code:

#
# The vanilla blocks for current release are done
# Moving on to items

Thanks!

 

I wouldn't use YAML for storage like this; it's quicker and better to use a database. SQL is really easy to learn, and if you use SQLite requires no extra installation and is already supported by Bukkit. PatPeter made a nice library that supports SQLite with Bukkit.

 

Thanks!
