I have been having issues after updated to 1.7.9 on my server while using v2.2.2 of CommunityBridge.

Upon reboot and consistently while running, my server is spammed with this error: http://newpaste.md-5.net/pqlyahted/gyifux/raw

Upon further investigation, I can only presume that it is related to no support for UUIDs.

Are there any plans for working around this or updating the way CB interacts with permissions plugins? For example, I know PEX stores all usernames under the "options" field for all users along with their UUID.

@iain-davis Worth looking at is this nice, free add-on for XenForo? I'm using it on my site right now, so if CommunityBridge could pick up on the UUIDs I have on my site (uuid is its own column in the user table), it would make for easy synchronization to the site.

http://xenforo.com/community/resources/minecraft-uuid-name-change-handler.2924/

As the author of that add-on, it would be awesome to see support :)

I'm working on providing a mechanism for lookups by UUID (See #165). The null pointer exception you got above may not be UUID related; in 2.2.2 you'd get that error if the player didn't have a group yet (See #159). 2.3.1 includes a fix to prevent the null pointer exception.

I'm assuming once CommunityBridge does lookups by UUID, that the Xenforo plugin will let Xenforo sites quickly convert to using UUIDs.

CommunityBridge will have a fallback system so that such transitions can be done gradually but the experience will be faster for players that have been updated.

Thank you for the update!

The way the permissions on my server works is that every user is a part of the 'default' group, although their group is not explicitly defined in my permissions.yml file for PermissionsEX. I believe you had said somewhere that v2.3.1 was pending in BukkitDev. Anywhere we could get an early link to get this setup ASAP? Found your BDO link – never mind!

Awesome, sounds great. Looking forward to being able to get my site-to-server integration back up and running!

Thanks for making such an awesome plugin, @iain-davis.

I recommend using 2.3.2 (http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/communitybridge-fm/files/31-community-bridge-v2-3-2-build-437/) instead...2.3.1 had a couple more show-stopping (sometimes) bugs that I didn't catch the other time through.
