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, the Groups section of your OpenSim.ini should look something like:

 [Groups]
   Enabled = true
   ; This is the current groups stub in Region.CoreModules.Avatar.Groups
   ;Module  = Default
   ; The PHP code for the server is available from the Flotsam project for you to deploy
   ; to your own server.  The Flotsam project is located at http://code.google.com/p/flotsam/
   ;
   Module  = GroupsModule
   ; Enable Group Notices
   NoticesEnabled   = true
   ; This makes the Groups modules very chatty on the console.
   DebugEnabled     = true
   ; Specify which messaging module to use for groups messaging and if it's enabled
   MessagingModule = GroupsMessagingModule
   MessagingEnabled = true
   ; Service connector to Groups Service [Select One]
   ; XmlRpc Service Connector to the Flotsam XmlRpc Groups Service Implementation
   ServicesConnectorModule = XmlRpcGroupsServicesConnector
   XmlRpcServiceURL        = http://yourxmlrpcserver.com/xmlrpc.php
   ;XmlRpcServiceReadKey    = 1234
   ;XmlRpcServiceWriteKey   = 1234
   ; Disables HTTP Keep-Alive for XmlRpcGroupsServicesConnector HTTP Requests,
   ; this is a work around fora problem discovered on some Windows based region servers.
   ; Only disable keep alive 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 XmlRpcServiceReadKey and XmlRpcServiceWriteKey options were implemented in OpenSim SVN rev 9354, and can allow a groups service operator to require a region to provide a read and/or write key in order to access that particular group service.

The XMLRPC service for groups at osflotsam.org is a public test service. If you'd instead like to run your own on your own web server, you can download the code for it from http://code.google.com/p/flotsam/ , specifically what's in trunk/Groups/php , and adjust it and your OpenSim.ini accordingly.
