[Opensim-users] Implementing Groups

[Zane Legion]

I’ve just spent several hours working what’s wrong with my implementation of groups. I’m running grid mode with 0.7.0.2 on Windows/IIS/MySQL/PHP (WIMP?).

What I found was that when a group is created, the RoleMembersVisible bit is not being set on group powers, so no-one (including the group founder) can see any group members. This stops anyone from inviting a member to the group as well.

>From my limited understanding it seems that XMLRPC.php is expecting OpenSim to set the RoleMembersVisible bit when the createGroup function is called – but it doesn’t. So I override the group powers in createGroup with “$ownersPowers = 490382185988094;” just under the line that reads “// Create Owner Role”. This fixes group creation for me.

It seems that at some point before 0.7.0.2, some OpenSim was created for selecting whether role members are visible in groups, but it wasn’t setting that option when a group was being created.

Not sure if this relates to the problem at hand, but since we’re talking about flotsam groups and 0.7.0.2 I thought I’d mention it.

Back to robust I found the problem is in the xmlrpc.php file (git HEAD) with groups.getAgentGroupMemberships, even if it seems to work with the test.php your opensim will fail with XML error. Will look at git to find the change that breaks this file. :)

    Fact-of-life ...terrific coders are not necessarily terrific writers.
    But, I'd also love to see some step-by-step'ers. You are not alone. The
    Truth is out there. <chuckles> Ric
