Solved From GroupManager to PermissionsEx...

In the old server I used Essentials GroupManager to manage permission nodes and groups.
These were the config:

Code:

groups:
  Default:
    default: true
    permissions:
    - -bukkit.command.kill
    - essentials.spawn
    - essentials.motd
    inheritance:
    - g:essentials_default
    - g:bukkit_default
    info:
      prefix: '&e'
      build: false
      suffix: ''
  Beginner:
    default: false
    permissions:
    - mywarp.warp.sign.warp
    - supplysign.access
    inheritance:
    - default
    info:
      prefix: '&2'
      build: true
      suffix: ''
  Member:
    default: false
    permissions: []
    inheritance:
    - beginner
    info:
      prefix: '&2'
      build: true
      suffix: ''
  Exclusive:
    default: false
    permissions: []
    inheritance:
    - member
    info:
      prefix: '&5'
      build: true
      suffix: ''
  Elite:
    default: false
    permissions: []
    inheritance:
    - exclusive
    info:
      prefix: '&5'
      build: true
      suffix: ''
  Moderator:
    default: false
    permissions:
    - bukkit.command.gamemode
    inheritance:
    - elite
    - g:essentials_moderator
    - g:bukkit_moderator
    - g:towny_moderator
    info:
      prefix: '&5'
      build: true
      suffix: ''
  SemiAdmin:
    default: false
    permissions: []
    inheritance:
    - moderator
    info:
      prefix: '&c'
      build: true
  Admin:
    default: false
    permissions:
    - '*'
    inheritance:
    - moderator
    - g:essentials_admin
    - g:bukkit_admin
    - g:towny_admin
    info:
      prefix: '&c'
      build: true
      suffix: ''
  Owner:
    default: false
    permissions:
    - '*'
    inheritance:
    - admin
    info:
      prefix: '&6'
      build: true
      suffix: ''

Now some admins said that PermissionsEx is better and I'm having some problems to promote and demote...

I tried with this:

Code:

groups:
  Guest:
    default: true
    permissions:
    - -bukkit.command.kill
    - essentials.spawn
    - essentials.motd
    inheritance:
    - g:essentials_default
    - g:bukkit_default
    info:
      prefix: '&e'
      build: false
      suffix: ''
      rank: '100'
      rank-ladder: cavacraft

because on the website it says to layout it like this:

Code:

groups:
    CityA-Major:
        options:
            rank: '100'
            rank-ladder: CityA

And also I don't know which 'permissions.yml' I need to change since there are like 4 of them!
Does PermissionsEx have anything in common with the 'perms_groups.yml' and 'perms_users.yml' files in the root of the server???

 

Pex only have 1 permissionyml in its folder and all group user setting you do there

here is my permission.yml look at it and ssee how many spaces got each section so you can understand it

also users list should come 1st than groups list also what command you use to promote or demote user ?

Do I have to add manually every person?!
*I use /pex promote <player> <group>

I finish to adapt #ZeroZX4 's permissions to mine...
But when I try to demote my self from owner to admin it says: 'Demotion error: User are not in this ladder'
What do I have to do?

P.S. Is this ok to configure the (essentials) chat so that the chatroom displays the groups like this?
Group: '&a[{GROUP}] {DISPLAYNAME}: {MESSAGE}'

when they join to your server they will automatically be added to default group

so if someone new joins he/she will be added to default group u choosed

and use

/pex user <user> group set <group>

or if it dont work than

https://github.com/t3hk0d3/PermissionsEx/wiki/Ranks-(Promotion-and-Demotion)

the link i post above explains promote demote ladder system

and about chat display yes its ok


but im not sure how it works with essentials if it wont show up your groups names just add them in prefix in your permissions.yml
