Filled PluginConfigurer (Closed)

Dear very kind plugin makers,

Plugin category: Admin Tools

Suggested name: PluginConfigurer

What I would like: I would like to see a plugin that let's you configure a plugin, via a command (down below), and it would open the config (with a specific name, example: config.yml or settings.yml). I t should be opened in the default program the computer uses to edit those kinds of files. If there is no default program the user should be told via the chat in any colour (the dev(s) could choose) that there is no default program. To fix this the message should say that the should manually go to the .yml file or any other file type it may be and choose a default program, and then the plugin should from that point on use that program.

I do not know if this is possible, but would be amazed if this were possible.

Ideas for commands: /configure <pluginfoldername> <configname>

Ideas for permissions: plugin.configure

When I'd like it by: ASAP

Thanks in the future!

 

PureGermanity Hey again
You can't access extenrnal programms from within bukkit, you would need a 3rd party programm for this.

 

Command to install plugin also works, so I think this would be quite handy as well!

 

Was worth a try sorry for the post!

 

PureGermanity
It might be possible, but META-INF may get in our way

 

timtower The only thing that would come to my mind, is creating a HTTP socket, and sending the access address to the player. and create a form that can be submitted, and would send you the changed config to your socket, that you could then save to a file again

 

zombiekiller753 What should your meta-inf do. Its only going to cause problems when you use mods

timtower Yes, but that not really a plugin

Read the third reply!

 

@CoderCloud @timtower @zombiekiller753 Then I will just close this request, if no one seems to want it...

 

timtower Do you know a way to get the serverIp from a bukkitplugin

 

This will be used for people who do not want to open and close the server folder every time they want to edit a config, and for people who can't run that many tasks at once, if they don't have a good computer, and just want to use this to save time, and only need it for a server for a group of friends. And also for lazy people, like me!

 

now I understand the question. The file should be opened on the same machine as the server, and as soon as it is saved, the changes should be applied.

I hope I got the question right now

 

Ok timtower thanks for the heads up, and also for the support!

CoderCloud or zombiekiller753, you think one of you (or you could work together) will be able to make this plugin?

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

PureGermanity I might do this, but your server would need an additional port to use my plugin.

 

It might run on a different machine soon (1 month), but fro now it runs on the same one

 

Thanks for the info, but I think I will always edit the server locally, but to run it (publicly) I would do it on a different host, probably mcprohosting, and every time I would want to edit something I would just get the server folder, and edit it locally. Thanks once again!

 

Thanks a lot, I appreciate the hard work!

 

PureGermanity knowing timtower it probably wasn't hard work for him.
