You can remove the playeractivity.track.idlekick permission from a player (or op) to prevent them from getting kicked if idle. By default all players are assigned this permission.

@mmuziek

Have you tried to use it? Does it give you an error? Are you using the latest CraftBukkit Beta build?

@mmuziek

You should not be editing the plugin.yml itself.

The latest CraftBukkit Beta build has some significant changes to how it handles commands. The most notable of which includes the new ultimate fallback feature. Basically, you can force your /back alias to either use /playeractivity:back or /essentials:back as you desire.

A news post describes the changes and has links to all the relevant wiki pages: http://forums.bukkit.org/threads/craftbukkit-1-7-2-r0-3-is-now-available.232215/

Sure, my pleasure!

Also, last note, I just realized some of my documentation is out of date since the recent update last week. I'll try to get it all updated in the next week or so.

@BlackFing85

Do you mean the technical nature of the notation? Yeah, that's a challenge. Messages need to be able to accept parameters. They also accept formatting those parameters both natively in that MessageFormat style and with color codes. But yes, I can see how that seems almost like code if you are not familiar with it. I'm not sure there is an easier way without sacrificing a lot of features.

I can at least say you can get rid of all the complicated text for a message and set it to what you want and it should work.

For instance you could change:

away: '§8{0,time,HH:mm:ss} {1}§8 is §9away§8 for §7{2}' # 1 = Player Display Name, 2 = Away Reason

to:

away: '{1} is away for {2}'

and it would display a simple message accordingly. But if you want the timestamp and colors, you have to add back in the other notations.

I know some plugin authors change the color code to accept a dollar sign. You can change that with the format-code option if you want. But I figure copy/pasting the section sign isn't too hard and you don't have to do it after you've setup your messages once.

@BlackFing85

What specifically do you mean "easier"? The /plugins/PlayerActivity/language.yml file is designed for you to be able to change messages independently of configuration. I would think that is about as easy at it gets?

@BlackFing85

Oh, I think I see your concern now. You actually want them to come out of AFK when they move? You could simply add PlayerMoveBlockEvent or PlayerMoveEvent to the activity list for the away/back feature. All these plugin features are designed to allow you to define what events you want to trigger them.

So you could change your away-back configuration section to:

away-back:
  enabled: true
  mentions: true
  activity:
    - AsyncPlayerChatEvent
    - PlayerBedEnterEvent
    - PlayerBedLeaveEvent
    - PlayerBack
    - PlayerMoveBlockEvent

An option to remind someone that they are AFK is also an interesting idea. I'll open a ticket to remind myself to look into that eventually also.

@BlackFing85

They are still considered afk.

@BlackFing85

No, by default movement will not automatically set a player as back from afk. That is controlled in the away/back settings at http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/playeractivity/pages/configuration/#w-away-back which by default are:

activity:
    - AsyncPlayerChatEvent
    - PlayerBedEnterEvent
    - PlayerBedLeaveEvent
    - PlayerBack

So basically, chat, entering or exiting bed, or issuing the back command.
