Online/status indicator for website

Hi,

is there no working, free, without becoming somewhere a member first, already compiled , simply copy-and-paste script/code that provides my website with an indicator that shows if I'm logged in SL or not ?

I know this : http://www.slprofiles.com/slstats.asp
and this : http://gwynethllewelyn.net/2007/08/11/figuring-out-your-online-status-revisited/#more-197

..but neither do I want to become a member for getting code nor do I like compiling/bug-fixing and beta testing what I want to embed.

There are hundreds of SL widgets and gadgets... but the one I thought it'd be the first of all, an SL online status indicator, is nowhere to find.

The second seems to have all code in that page.

Who would want to help you that way?

Hundreds of websites which already have gadgets and widgets for everybody and for free maybe ?

They just have one too few.

You are going to have to tweak the code to fit in with your website and what you want displayed. The code on Gwyneth's site is a basic code that can be used as a starting point to get the results you need.

When I used it for the first time I found it a bit complicated at first too because I was thinking it was "cut and paste" which was not the case (for me). Since the code interacts with whatever code you may have running on your website, you will have to modify it to fit your needs.

If you see a particular widget or gadget on someone else's website that you want to use and you are looking for actual "code" so you can use the same thing maybe you should try asking that webmaster or scriptor to give it to you. Just an idea. More than likely they are using the same code that everyone else is using as a foundation for theirs. lol

What I'm thinking of is something like this :

To be honest I'm not able nor in the mood to re-write code or to compile it for my needs. And additionally there's no need to create an object in SL first (that I have to rez or wear) to show if me is logged in or not, so that's why I refuse that provided code at gwynethllewelyn.net. I don't need nor do I like to deal with php4 or 5 and to host anything. Please don't misunderstand me, neither I am angry nor unpollite (at least I'm trying to be pollite but it makes no sense for me to use this 'cos the Google gadgets show that there's a different and much easier way.

Also the slprofiles gadget shows that you don't have to wear or rez an object to show your SL status. But !.. why should I become a member there first to use it ?

All I want are 3 or 4 lines of code, cut-and-pasteable, working and ready to use. And the result is a nice pic in the sidebar of my site which shows a red or green lamp, dot, light..whatever, which indicates my SL status (maybe with the SL logo in the background).
Nothing more, nothing less. :°-( *bohoooo noone understand me, noone likes me *wallowing in self-pity

Then 'all you have to do' is PAY someone to write this code for you.
If you want something for free, you don't have much ground to complain when you can't find it.

The second link has a php script and an lsl script, that's everything you need. (The only thing more she should do for you is put the lsl script in an object and make you have to go to her place or slx to get the object)

If you don't have a web host that lets you upload a php script, or you can't leave an object in-world for it to query, then you'll have to have somebody else hosting the service for you... most likely the price will be membership, advertisements, or a service charge.

hmm, well, that's not true. All the google gadgets for web sites about SL are for free. Someone must have been bored and done the community a favor but he or she forgot one tiny little gadget. So I have all the rights to complain. *bohoooo



@ Day Oh
again...I do not want to deal by any means with php...I want the (JavaScript/HTML) code

I don't think there is any such thing. Most likely, a client-side-only solution such as you describe involving nothing but an html/javascript snippet would have to scrape the Second Life page, and even that has preconditions that could cause it to fail at times.

The most reliable method of all is the one that Gwyneth Llewellyn posted. I know, that's not what you want, I'm just saying I don't think you will ever find what you are looking for

Ahhh ok, that's a statement I can understand. Although I wonder how all the other snippets, gadgets and so on which base on JavaScript (at least concerning the web site result) and which do nothing more than pulling already provided Info via that XML/RPC router protocol ( refer to Hetgrid) work.

AFAIK SL already preprocesses and provides that info ( Agent online status, more often referred to as "presence". The question is just how to pull. But ok, I'll go on, as virtual nomads mostly do...maybe some day....
