Having problems adding permissions to my plugin

I started developing a banning plugin and am having trouble adding permissions into it. I have hasPermission(ZillaBans.ban) and (ZillaBans.kick). I have read pretty much all I could read about making permissions in bukkit. This is my first plugin and I am quite new to the bukkit api. Thank you please help.
Here is a pastebin of my code and I will provide a download if you need to see the jar. Thanks again. http://pastebin.com/GFuwinBe

 

You would do the following.

Code:java

if (sender.hasPermission("example.test")) {

 

Enclose the perm nodes in quotes

Code:java

if (sender.hasPermission("ZillaBans.ban")) {
    // do command
} else {
    // don't do command
}

Also:

I don't recommend using capitals in perm nodes

You should check the perm node before running the command, not after.

you can also use this for players that don't have the permission:

Code:java

if(!(player.hasPermission("Permission.perm")){
    player.sendMessage("You do not have Permission to use this Command!");
    return true;
}

use this for players that have permission:

Code:java

if(player.hasPermission("Permission.perm")){
    Put your code here
    return true;
}

 

TheCombatCA that would not work. For the you do not have permission you would use:

Code:java

        if (args[0].equalsIgnoreCase("test")) {
          if (sender.hasPermission("example.test")) {
            //CODE HERE
          } else {
            sender.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "NICE TRY!");
          }
