Plugin config send me a message saying "null"

Hey bukkit fourms, I recently made a small plugin when you do /staff it is suppose to get what is in the config and send it to you. But when I do the command instead of sending me the ranks that I put in it and also the players it will only send me "null" in all the ranks colors.

Here is the code:

Code:

package me.stantheman68.staff;
 
 
import java.util.logging.Logger;
 
import me.stantheman68.staff.Staff;
 
import org.bukkit.ChatColor;
import org.bukkit.command.Command;
import org.bukkit.command.CommandSender;
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;
import org.bukkit.plugin.PluginDescriptionFile;
import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;
 
public class Staff extends JavaPlugin{
public final Logger logger = Logger.getLogger("Minecraft");
public static Staff plugin;
 
@Override
public void onDisable() {
PluginDescriptionFile pdfFile = this.getDescription();
  this.logger.info(pdfFile.getName() + " Has Been Disabled! Made By Stantheman68! ");
}
 
@Override
public void onEnable() {
PluginDescriptionFile pdfFile = this.getDescription();
  this.logger.info(pdfFile.getName() + "Version" + pdfFile.getVersion() + " Has Been Enabled! Made By Stantheman68");
  getConfig().options().copyDefaults(true);
saveConfig();
 
}
 
 
public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command cmd, String commandLabel, String[] args){
  Player player = (Player) sender;
 
  if(commandLabel.equalsIgnoreCase("staff")){
player.sendMessage(ChatColor.DARK_AQUA + getConfig().getString("owner:"));
player.sendMessage(ChatColor.DARK_RED + getConfig().getString("headadmin(s):"));
player.sendMessage(ChatColor.AQUA + getConfig().getString("admin(s):"));
player.sendMessage(ChatColor.LIGHT_PURPLE + getConfig().getString("headmod(s):"));
player.sendMessage(ChatColor.LIGHT_PURPLE + getConfig().getString("mod(s):"));
player.sendMessage(ChatColor.DARK_PURPLE + getConfig().getString("helper(s):"));
player.sendMessage(ChatColor.GOLD + "[" + ChatColor.WHITE + "Tip" + ChatColor.GOLD + "]" + ChatColor.WHITE + "Ranks colors are not %100 right.");
    }
return false;
}
} 

Here is the config.yml and plugin.yml:
Condig.yml:

Owner: stantheman68,end.
HeadAdmin(s): chamallama82,end.
Admin(s): end.
HeadMod(s): end.
Mod(s): end.
Helper(s): end.


Plugin.yml:

name: Staff
main: me.stantheman68.staff.Staff
version: 1.0
description: >
Shows all the staff!
commands:
staff:
description: Shows all the staff!


Please help.

 

I think the ()'s in your config screw with YAML. Try removing them.

 

It didnt seem to work

 

Post everything you have now?
Edit: When using .getString("string:");, don't include the :'s, so:

Code:

getConfig().getString("string");

 

Delete ("player.sendMessage(), use getConfig().getString("");

 

Where you entered your string getConfig().getString("Owner");

Remove the ':' after the String name NOT on the config.yml but on the code

 

Thanks, it's not like anybody already said that.

 

ohh, sorry, didnt see

 

It didnt work...when i do the command /staff instead of all the ranks it will send me "null" in all the ranks places with there colors.

 

Try working around this:

Code:java

Boolean sentRank = false;
for(String rank : getConfig().getKeys(false)){
sentRank = false;
for(String player : getConfig.getStringList(rank){
if(sentRank){
sender.sendMessage(player);
}else{
sender.sendMessage(rank);
sender.sendMessage(player);
sentRank = true;
}
}

I just looked into javadocs, not tested at all. Basically you *should* get all the ranks and all players in with that rank and than sending it. sentRank variable *should* prevent you from sending rank for every player, so output *should* be:

Owner
player
Admin
player2
player3

When without sentRank would *probably* be:

Owner
player
Admin
player2
Admin
player3


Really, just some javadocs, it's not for copy paste, if this method works, it's flexible to all the possible ranks and users in file, not just some static ranks.
