Development Server
If you want to see a demonstration of a working (mostly) development version of this plugin, I am currently running a small server with it (not 24/7). However the website is pretty sluggish because it is not hosted on the same server as minecraft, but it should still work.

Description
Ok, so I know there are loads of shop plugins that all do slightly different things. But because of the UI restrictions in game, I chose to make a shop plugin that links in with a website via a MySQL database to make trade easier, and even allow people to check on how their items are doing without being logged into the game. (mobile device?).
Basic idea is that admins (or players with right permissions etc) set up auction houses around the world. Players can then go there and deposit items, when they do this the items disappear from the world and get logged into the players online account. They they put money in the online account by clicking signs. Once this is done and they have set a password, they can log into the website and see all the auctions that are going on.
Using the money in the online account they can buy items, and they will be sent to the mailbox in game (a sign) and they can set up their own auctions for the items they have stored online.
One of the main features is that the website will look at all the sales and calculate a moving average for the market price of that item. Which should help players when setting a price, or buyers to see if they are getting a good deal.
Notes:
- Just added a how to edit section for info and new designs to help change the look of the website
- Works best with iConomy stored in the same MySQL database as the WebAuction tables (direct money link from game to website)
Features:
- Only members of your server can get an account
- Change password from in game
- Deposit items to be sold by right-clicking a mailbox deposit sign while holding it
- Change online balance with signs
- Get items from a sign mail box
- Moving average market price calculations
- Can link directly to the iConomy database
Overview Video:
NEW VIDEO :D
Screenshots:
will take more soon, when we have spent a while using it so that the market prices are properly calculated.
Setup:
Basics:
- Download the WebAuction.zip and extract it
- Put the WebAuction.jar in the plugins folder on your minecraft server
- Put the WebAuctionInterface folder (you can rename) on your website
- Restart server
- Look in plugins/WebAuction to find the config file add your MySQL database details
- In the interface folders on website, find the scripts/config.php file and add MySQL details again
- Be careful with mysql passwords, special characters such as {}[]() may cause the file to be incorrectly read by the yml parser.
- Make everyone create a password, make sure its different to ones they use elsewhere etc.
- Make a sign for the withdraw mail box (see screenshot) First list: "[WebAuction]" Second line: "MailBox"
- Make a sign for the deposit mail box (see screenshot) First list: "[WebAuction]" Second line: "MailBox" Third line: "Deposit"
- If you have iConomy data stored in the same database as the WebAuction data, use the web config file to point to the right table, and ignore the stuff about withdraw and deposit signs.
- Make some withdraw and deposit signs for money (again in screenshot) First line "[WebAuction]" Second: "Withdraw" or "Deposit" Third: the amount of money, or for the withdraw sign you can put "All" on the third line
- You can also make recent auction signs, to show a live feed of the new auctions: First line "[WebAuction]" Second: "Recent" Third: a number for the offset, so for the most recent auction put "1", second most recent "2" etc.
- Log into the website and start selling
Important Signs
Mailbox:
Used to deposit items and withdraw items that are in your mail
Line 1: [WebAuction] Line 2: MailBox Line 3: Withdraw (not actually needed but makes it neater with the other deposit sign :P)
Line 1: [WebAuction] Line 2: MailBox Line 3: Deposit
Deposit Money:
Used to send money to the website to be used on the WebAuction (not needed if using iconomy databases) Line 3 can be any number (100, 0.01, 55.7 etc.)
Line 1: [WebAuction] Line 2: Deposit Line 3: 100
Withdraw Money:
Used to get money from the website to be used on the WebAuction (not needed if using iconomy databases) Line 3 can be any number (100, 0.01, 55.7 etc.) Line 3 can also be "All".
Line 1: [WebAuction] Line 2: Withdraw Line 3: All
Recent Auction Feed
Used to see recent auctions people have made, you can set up as many signs as you want each looking for subsequent auctions. For example in your auction house you could have one sign to show each of the five most recent auctions. For line 3 enter the number for the offset from the most recent auction ("1" for the most recent, "2" for the second most recent... etc.)
These signs will update automatically when new auctions are made, and will display the item name, the quantity and the price.
Line 1: [WebAuction] Line 2: Recent Line 3: 1
There is now also another way of displaying recent auctions. If you have the SignLink plugin on your server you can display values about the auctions however you like on signs using various bits of data as variables. So far I have just got:
- Auction Name (%WAName1%)
- Auction Price (%WAPrice1%)
- Auction Quantity (%WAQuant1%)
Where you can change the number (1) for any other in the same way as in the previous auction signs, except I think 0 is actually the most recent auction.
I will soon be adding other information such as the sellers name and maybe the market price etc.
New Auction Shouting
A sign that is given a radius, when a new auction is created it will shout in it's radius about it to anyone nearby, line 3 is the radius in blocks.
Line 1: [WebAuction] Line 2: Shout Line 3: 10
Twitter feed
If you want to send information of new auctions and sales to a twitter account. Open up the config.php file (in the scripts folder).
Go to: https:dev.twitter.com/apps/new Input all your information. It doesnt really matter what you put for the name and things on the first page. (and you don't need to add anything for the callback)
When you have created your new app, open the settings tab, and set the application type access to "read and write". Save everything. Go back to main app info page. On that page should be the consumer key and consumer secret. Add these two values to the config file.
Near the bottom of the page is a button that says "create access token", makes sure you have set the permissions to read and write then click this button and copy the two values it gives you into the config folder.
Done (hopefully)

Donations:
Hope you guys like the plugin, keep telling me things you think would be cool to add and I will do my best. And a donation is always nice :P
@darkcloud784
Money doesn't move across automatically, you have to use signs to add or remove credit from web account (see signs screenshot and setup info). I will have the option, at some point, to link the iconomy database to the webauction one, but many people don't have iconomy data stored in a mysql database.
(Me being one of the people that don't use iconomy mysql, so I don't know how they format the tables/ what they are called/ where the values are etc.)
It shows I have 0 money even though iconomy5 says I have 6883.56. so I'm assuming it doesnt hook into iconomy5?
@Exote
Got it working, not sure what was up but it just started randomly working. I'm assuming that mysql was just being dumb and rejecting the connection =\
@Exote
Yep Not sure if I downloaded the newest version though, so I'm going to attempt to reinstall it with the newest version to ensure I did.
@darkcloud784
It should work if you have entered the correct database details in the config file. Are you have put the same details in as you did in the plugin config file?
@Exote
I seem to get this when going to the login page:
Notice: Undefined index: error in /*//*/WebAuction/login.php on line 17
and this when logging in after setting a password:
Notice: Use of undefined constant link - assumed 'link' in /*//*/WebAuction/scripts/config.php on line 22
Notice: Use of undefined constant User - assumed 'User' in /*//*/WebAuction/login-script.php on line 16
Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /*//*/WebAuction/scripts/config.php:22) in/*//*/WebAuction/login-script.php on line 16

@darkcloud784
Oh sorry I see what you mean. You have to have a MySQL database hosted somewhere (normally come with website hosting). You put the details for that into both of the config files (.jar and website).
It will create various tables in the specified database, all with "WA_" prefixed
@Exote
I know it creates a config file, it just doesnt point to an actual database. Only the login details, so where does it store it? Does it make its own? Which database do I point the config.php? the same one the jar points to, if so which one is that because its not listed in the config as an option.
@darkcloud784
The plugin config file does ask for your database details (you need to generate it by running the server once with the plugin).
You login account is created first time a player joins the server, but they must set a password
How exactly do you "create a log in" and your config for the jar doesnt specify a database to use but your config.php does? So alittle bit more info on the "how to install" would be awsome. Specifics make it alot easier to determine whats what and how it works.
@darkcloud784
Umm. I think it works with both 5 and 6. Give it a test for me? :P
@Exote
Works THANKS!
Which version of iConomy does this support? is it only 6 or is it backwards compatible with 5?
@Shiquzal
Changed the file path forgot to update the bit.ly link, they the .jar download on this page again
@Exote
Which Page do you mean ?
DOWNLOAD (The Button) or Download Latest .jar: ? i downloaded the .jar there and it does not work.. (Yes i tryed again!)
@Shiquzal
Sorry uploaded wrong version, try again.
@Exote
i downloaded it. it's the Same Problem.
When i leftclick it's USED:
@Shiquzal
Sorry fixed that, waiting for new build to be approved. Or you can download the .jar on this page again
@Exote
Yes. i dont know why.
Edit I KNOW THE REASON! LEFTCLICK! Always when you leftklick this Chest it will be LOCKED to used.
-(and : can you make a ADMIN PANEL ? to delete Auctions etc. ?)
@Shiquzal
So after the first person opens it, and closes it. No one else can use that chest?
