Hooking up Group Manager

So I've been trying to make a plugin where you can purchase items by using vote points.
Now it all works, but a little problem, which I am unable to find a solution for.
I can't find a way to add permissions to the buying user.
I did add the plugin to libraries and all, cuz I am able to check his permissions.

The plugin I'm using is EssentialsGroupManager.

If someone could give me an example code of how to add permissions to a certain user by using bukkits Player class, it would be much appreciated.

 

Easiest way to go about this, would be to not implement a non-default plugins system. By default, CraftBukkit API and Bukkit API has...bPermissions built in? (not sure if it's bPermissions)

Something similar though, if not exact.


Easiest way to do it would be to take a command or part of your method, and add:

PHP:

&& player.hasPermission("Your.PermissionNode")


 

If you are simply checking if they have a permission node then use @ZeuesAllMighty11 's method or if you want to do more advanced things like changing, adding, removing groups etc then I recommend Vault

I think you mean SuperPerms

 

Checking if someone has a permission is not a problem, the problem is adding the permission.
When I try to add it to someone it doesn't give any errors or exceptions, but when I check if the player has the permission after adding it, it returns false.

 

Are you using the GroupManager or Vault API?

 

GroupManager

 

Can you post the code you are using to Hook it and add a permission node? Please not I have never used groupmanager or its API so I may not be able to help you, but I will try my best.

 

Code:

only the part that is under if itemName contains md

 

Hmmmm try looking for a savePermissions and/or reloadPermissions (or something like that) function, I tried looking for an API Documentation but couldn't find one.

 

https://github.com/gmcouto/GroupMan.../org/anjocaido/groupmanager/GroupManager.java

I tried also extending the DataUnit class, which gives no errors also, but still keeps saying that the player doesnt have the permission after adding it

 

That repo hasn't been updated for a year though, it'll be out of date.

 

it's also possible that there's a bug in the permission check code right now for GM. I mentioned it to KHobbits as I've seen a few people reporting that players lose permission on rejoining the server with GM, you might want to check if this is the case for you also. The GM permission addition code should be fine, you can check how I do it in the Vault code if you are unsure about it too.

 

No the plugin works fine in the server, the checking if the player has a certain permission with this plugin is fine but adding is the problem.
With your vault plugin, does it use the GM plugin?

 

Yes Vault works with all Permissions systems!

 

So i can add it as a library and use the add permission funcion?

 

Yep!

 

NOPE!
You must also Hook the plugin.

 

Wrong!
Vault can handle adding permissions onto players in pretty much any of the permission systems. It has issues with some plugins that don't provide API. But as I've listed on the Vault page it currently supports: bPerms, bPerms2, DroxPerms, GM, P3, PBukkit, Privileges, SimplyPerms, SuperPerms (bukkit default), and zPermissions.

alex123099
In this case using the Vault API for adding permanent permissions does work with GM. It can add either world-specific permissions, or global permissions.

 

You missunderstand what i am saying. He needs to hook the plugin (Vault or whatever) not just include the library in his build path.
I don't see that he is hooking.

 

Oooh gotcha! hahaha. My bad!

 

import org.anjocaido.groupmanager.GroupManager;
import org.anjocaido.groupmanager.data.DataUnit;
import org.anjocaido.groupmanager.data.User;
import org.anjocaido.groupmanager.dataholder.OverloadedWorldHolder;
import org.anjocaido.groupmanager.dataholder.worlds.WorldsHolder;
import org.anjocaido.groupmanager.permissions.AnjoPermissionsHandler;
and so on..
doesn't count as hooking up?

@sleaker
Do I have to have your plugin in the plugins fodler or just adding it to my plugins library is fine?
And can you give me an example code of how to add permissions or just the classes I need to import and the class with the function to add the perm.

 

alex123099 - you can hook directly into GM, or you can use Vault's permission service. Not both.
The way you've started to import GM classes is how you might begin to hook into the GM API, but that's only to set it up so you can reference the classes. There's a lot more than just importing classes.

if you're interested in the Vault API, again please look at the overview page, or the github page, they both have a simple setup process on how to get started along with a javadoc link on what methods you can do.

 

He is right. vault is the way to go AND you need to review the docs on how to hook Vault so you understand what your doing.

 

Do I have to have your plugin in the plugins fodler or just adding it to my plugins library is fine?
And can you give me an example code of how to add permissions or just the classes I need to import and the class with the function to add the perm.

 

If it's in your plugin library, you still need the plugin installed on the server
