About the plugin
Have you ever needed to put a long link, or your website URL on a sign and it just won't fit, so you put it across multiple signs or lines? Or you wish that those links where clickable? Well SignURLs provides a viable solution. It allows you to associate a word or phrase to a link that can fit on a line of a sign, than allows your members to click the sign and it will output the link the chat for the user to click. The plugin uses SQLite to store, and load the links.
How to use
You associate links to a phrase/word by using the '/signurls add {lineText} {url}' command. So as an example you could do, '/signurls add google http://www.google.com'. (*note* the plugin does check to see if you remembered the http: infront, if not it will automatically add it for you.) Then you place a sign, and on any line besides the bottom you put [SignURLs] and on the line below it, you put the phrase or word associated with the link. Once you place it, and you have properly set up the sign right click it. It should then put the link associated with the word phrase in the users chat who had clicked on it.

I am just like everyone of you, I have to work, and make money, so that I can work on my projects. If you want to help buy me a meal, or with a generous donation, it is graciously appreciated. I will update this plugin as much as I have time for, and get it ready for the new Bukkit releases. I will add new features when ever I have time, but money is always a great motivator to get me to work faster ;)

Unfortunately, there is not a way I know of to forcefully open up the part that access you to open it. If I knew, I would have made it an optional feature. The link in the chat is clickable, since links in chat are clickable in Minecraft now.
This does not mean I don't looking for a way to do it. If I find one it will be implemented, but I can't just access the users computer and open their web browser. If this was the case Minecraft would have a HUGE security loop hole hackers could use.

I could have used flatfile, but loading and saving to/from a SQL db is much faster, and easier to deal with. There is a point to using SQLite over a Flatfile.

Yes so the words withing the Brackets [] can be made [WebLink] rather than [SignURLs]. I have had some people come forward and say they would really like to be able to change this.
Originally I directed them to the source code, and steps to do so. But, not everyone has java knowladge, I made so they can set it from withing the configuration file.
I personally like the brackets black the text Blue rather than solid Blue.
new plugin? its still the same plugin, I am just updating it lol...
If your talking about the other plugin I was talking about, that is something completely different.

Looks great! Its a step in the right direction! could you make it so that the brackets are blue to... at least in your new plugin? and what do you mean by "you can name it something else" you mean instead of "signURLs" you can name it too say "WebLink"?

Yes, one of my plugin testers asked me to do this aswell, gonna make the color of the SignURLs part configurable along with SignURLs, so you can name it something else. Along with the prefix in-game.
Right now, since this is running really well I have been focusing me efforts on my other plugin that I created.

Posted Apr 14, 2013This plugin is AWESOME! - Could you make it so the "[SignsURLs]" part turns "&1" blue? (that would make it 10X better!)
Thanks - ProSniper234

I had already uploaded it if you looked. It has to make it through bukkitdev approval before you guys can download it. They have approved it now, so the download link should be there.

This was never meant to be commandsigns. This was a simple solution I had a few servers approach me with. I liked the idea, and actually made it. If you prefer to use commands that are called through a sign, go ahead. The sole purpose of this plugin is to be able to attach links to a sign with a short word/phrase, not to call a command through a sign. When you think about, you would have to associate a couple commands, which could take a while. As in this its one command you use, and a sign; your done.
Keeping in mind, I am not doing this because I care about how big my plugin gets rather as a learning experience.

I downloaded version 1.0.2, and I can still place signs without the 'signurls.place' permission node. So I fail to see what was causing it in that version. Eitherway, I have compiled a 1.0.3 early since I re-wrote how signs are dealt with when placed.
Edit: I had an issue when I tested without vault+group manager. Tested with V1.0.3 that I am uploading, and it seems to be fixed when I re-wrote how permissions were handled. So it should be fixed in version 1.0.3
Uploaded, waiting for bukkitdev approval.

You are the only one having this issue. I patched this in version 1.0.1, and it is still reported working in 1.0.2 on both the live test servers that test this plugin.
@websterj885
I will add a check for this in the next update. Github Commit!

I don't think this is possible to do server side. But I will look into it even with my doubts.
