[Opensim-users] Groups

[Gwyneth Llewelyn]

Hi Ben!

For groups to work, you need to have an external system set up to  
support them. Currently, two ready-made solutions are available:

	- The code from the Flotsam group (http://code.google.com/p/flotsam/)
	- SimianGrid (http://code.google.com/p/openmetaverse)

(see: http://opensimulator.org/wiki/0.7_Release)

I'm personally using Flotsam, which, in spite of some hiccups and  
glitches, gives me about half of the group functionality :) — enough  
for my purposes!

As for the changes to the avatar profiles not saving, I'm guessing  
that you're using OpenSim 0.7.X, right? Since the introduction of  
Hypergrid 1.5, profiles are now expected to work across *all* grids,  
and thus, to allow that, like groups and economy, they require an  
external service to work, too.

A few resources that implement this are on XoopenSim: http://www.nsl.tuis.ac.jp/xoops/modules/xpwiki/?XoopenSim%20(E)

(or see: http://www.mail-archive.com/opensim-users@lists.berlios.de/msg04035.html) 
  XoopenSim sort of integrates all this external functionality on the  
Xoops Cube content managament system (http://xoopscube.org/).

If you just need the profile functionality, you might use osprofile.  
This is one of the many external modules available here: http://opensimulator.org/wiki/Webinterface

Have fun :)
