Solved Retreiving Config String and Returning value on /command

Hello, I am confused on how to get my command to reply with a string the player set in the plugin config. My config consists of one string called newjoinmessage. This string will be updated time to time to give various information to the player etc.

My issue is how do I configure the plugin to reply with the string from the config, when a user types /njm or newjoinmessage (note ill clean up the command later to add the other abbreviation). Below is where I am having the issue setting up the command return.

public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command command, String label, String[] arguments){
// /help label would - help argument would be empty list
if (cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("NewJoinMessage")){
sender.sendMessage(newjoinmessage);
getConfig().getString(newjoinmessage);



Full plugin class below...

Code:

package me.myip.newjoinmessage;
//imports craftbukkit for usage, this will allways be needed
import org.bukkit.command.Command;
import org.bukkit.command.CommandSender;
import org.bukkit.configuration.file.FileConfiguration;
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;
import org.bukkit.event.Event;
import org.bukkit.event.EventHandler;
import org.bukkit.event.Listener;
import org.bukkit.event.player.PlayerJoinEvent;
import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;
public class newjoinmessage extends JavaPlugin implements Listener {

//All stuff I forgot
FileConfiguration config = getConfig();
  
    public void onEnable(){
        getServer().getLogger().info("New Join MSG: Visit mc.beyondhorizonmc.net for support");
      
        //default string for new join message
        String newjoinmessage = "";
      
        //creates a config file, sets a default line of text for the config file.
        config.set(newjoinmessage, "Configure this");
        config.options().copyDefaults(true);
        saveConfig();
        //checking for new people
        getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(this, this);
    }
    public void onDisable(){
        getServer().getLogger().info("New Join MSG Disabled");
    }
//MAIN BODY OF PLUGIN  
  
    @EventHandler
public void onPlayerJoin(PlayerJoinEvent event){
        Player player = event.getPlayer();
    if (config.getBoolean("Welcome to the Server, visit mc.beyondhorizonmc.net for help")){
            player.sendMessage("Welcome to the Server, visit mc.beyondhorizonmc.net for help ");
  
    }else {
      
    }
  
  
  
    }
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
    @EventHandler
    public boolean onCommand(CommandSender sender, Command command, String label, String[] arguments){
        // /help label would - help argument would be empty list
        if (cmd.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("NewJoinMessage")){
            sender.sendMessage(newjoinmessage); <=== doesnt work
            getConfig().getString(newjoinmessage); <=== doesn't work either
            //below may need to be returned false as it will send a player a default message, stating cmd
            return true;
        }
      
        return false;
    }
}
//:
//;

Thank you for reading

Put the getConfig above the sendMessage. You have to specify where to get the string from, example:

Code:

String newJoinMessage = getConfig().getString("path.to.string");
// then
sender.sendMessage(newJoinMessage);

Also, do not log your own plugins, Bukkit does this by itself.

 

Thank you,
