Groups

XmlRpcGroups module
As of rev 9215 in the OpenSim SVN repo, there is now an experimental groups module, XmlRpcGroups, which interacts with a remote XMLRPC service to provide basic groups functionality.

To enable basic groups functionality on rev 9215 or later, your OpenSim.ini should look something like:

[Groups] Enabled = true ; This is the current groups stub in Region.CoreModules.Avatar.Groups ;Module = Default ; The XmlRpcGroups implementation can be used against the publically available service ; that I have made available for testing. Your group data is not guarenteed safe ; or available if you use this service, but it's available now and seems to work. ; The PHP code for the service is available for you to deploy to your own server. ;    Module  = XmlRpcGroups XmlRpcServiceURL      = http://osflotsam.org/xmlrpc.php XmlRpcMessagingEnabled = true XmlRpcNoticesEnabled  = true ; This makes the XmlRpcGroups modules very chatty on the console. ;XmlRpcDebugEnabled    = true ; Disables HTTP Keep-Alive for Groups Module HTTP Requests, work around for ; a problem discovered on some Windows based region servers. Only disable ; if you see a large number (dozens) of the following Exceptions: ; System.Net.WebException: The request was aborted: The request was canceled. ;    ; XmlRpcDisableKeepAlive = false

The XMLRPC service for groups at osflotsam.org is a public test service. If you'd instead like to run your own, you can download the code for it from http://code.google.com/p/flotsam/ and adjust your OpenSim.ini accordingly. More info here.
