Assigning permissions to groups

I just bought this plugin and I'm having an issue.

I can assign a permission to a player and their name/title appears correctly. If I assign the permission to a group that the player is a part of instead of assigning the permission directly to the player, it does not work.

I didn't quite understand you, describe in more detail what you do and what you assign, describe your actions and the result

In order for a player to have a color and/or title as defined in the IQChat config, they need a permission.

For example, for VIP, I have this in my config in the nickname, chat color and prefix sections:
 

      {
        "Permission": "iqchat.vip",
        "Argument": "#f7b723",
        "Block the player's ability to select this parameter in the plugin menu (true - yes/false - no)": false
      },

      {
        "Permission": "iqchat.vip",
        "Argument": "#FFFFFF",
        "Block the player's ability to select this parameter in the plugin menu (true - yes/false - no)": false
      },

        {
          "Permission": "iqchat.vip",
          "Argument": "<color=#0CFFFF>[VIP]</color>",
          "Block the player's ability to select this parameter in the plugin menu (true - yes/false - no)": false
        },

If I assign iqchat.vip to a player with the command o.grant playername iqchat.vip, their name will be the correct color, their chat will be the correct color and their prefix will be correct. If I do not assign the permission to the player, but instead I use o.grant group vip iqchat.vip, none of the above works. The players in the vip group do not get the above colors or prefix. I have confirmed that after using the o.grant group command, the group does have the iqchat.vip permission.

Enter the o.show user SteamID, make sure that it is in the VIP group, I just checked it on my test server and the groups are all assigned

So, several of my testers wrote to me and everything is fine with them. Check the accuracy of the groups and permissions issued. If the problem persists, send me your configuration, I’m not at home right now, I’ll be closer to Monday and will be able to consider your application in more detail 

I just did more testing and it does seem to be working. It just takes a bit of a learning curve.

While this support request is still open, I can't seem to get tagging a player or everyone to work. With better Chat Mentions, for example, If a player was named "Robert1216", I could do @rob and it would tag that player. Also using @everyone doesn't work either. 

Also, isn't /online supposed to create a list of players currently on the server in the F1 console? It doesn't seem to work.

@everyone this is not supported by the plugin, you can use the console command "alert Text" to notify all players, and then all players will see a notification in the alert format in the chat

No, but if you need it, I can add it in the next update

On the plugin page, it says this: "/online - display the list of players in the chat" so if it's not a feature, it would be cool to add it. I could get rid of another plugin if that works.

I was used to the @everyone ability to tag all players on the server. It's a nice feature. The alert occupies a section of my UI where other information goes.

The /online command exists, but it outputs information to the player's chat

If you use the 'alert Message' command, then it will not be visible on the UI interface - it is to send a message to the chat
