Making Group Invite Sign??

How do I do it.....

I'd like to make a sign in my shop that allows folks to click for an invite. I know there probably different ways to go about this....so whatever knowledge you guys can share would be mucho appreciated. Thanx. *grin*

it's probably in here:

Nope...just scrolled thru the whole list...nada. /c:

if you mean the auto invite ones I saw it on slex, it said you need a bot on 24/7 for it to work. (no idea)

if you just want a sign that will send you a message that so and so wants an invite to your group, that should be fairly simple

The key fact to know here is that there is no way a script can automatically issue a group invite ... an avatar has to do it.

I know of 3 varieties:

1. Group inviter scripts that allow you (or a designated group manager) to issue the group invitation either immediately or (usually) later. You put it in any prim you want. When touched, the prim sends an IM to whoever you want, and it also compiles a list of the people who touched the sign since the last time the list was cleared. Then an avatar has to actually issue the invites. I think there are scripts that do this in the script library; I made one myself; I know there have been threads with several people offering scripts.

2. Group inviter systems like the above script, that also have a bot built-in who actually issues the invites. Someone has to host the bot, since the system only works if the bot is online constantly ... usually the person selling the system has an option where they do that for you. There are at least two of these on SLX.

3. Group inviter scripts using new search that, I think, actually bring up the "join" panel for the group. This is great for open groups.
.

Actually there's one of these that "banks" the join requests and then adds people en masse the next time you log the bot on. (probably uses a web database or an inworld "server" to store the keys until the bot next logs on).

Hmmm...why does all of this sound like just a big pain in the a$$. LOL Perhaps I will just post a normal group invite sign that directs a person to look up the group in search and click 'join'. LOL Sometimes the simple solution is the correct one. (for me anyway, hehe)
Thanks guys.

The search lookup one is pretty simple too. I personally like that one for the "open enrollment" groups. Of course, open enroll groups tend to get a lot of spam (and people spare-changing)

Not sure if this is what folks were thinking about, but here's a little script that dumps a clickable URL into the chat stream (as an IM) to the person touching the scripted prim:

string GROUP_ID = "d0f1fa9f-1a8b-8074-b111-a3fac92fea07";

default
{
    touch_start(integer total_number)
    {
        llInstantMessage(llDetectedKey(0),
            "Please join our group at secondlife:\/\/\/app\/group\/"+GROUP_ID+"\/about");
    }
}

(The script is the bit between the php tags, which only formats it nicely if one presses "Quote" as if to reply.)

The GROUP_ID string between the double quotes at the top would be replaced by the ID for the group to be joined, which one gets from the bottom of the New Search page for the group.

Of course, for that to really be helpful, the recipient would need to have the Local Chat window open--but doesn't everybody?

I tried setting something up to expedite group invitations, that didn't use the bot system.

The trouble was, with the Windlight client, when using the View history to look back at the clickable link to open the group window, the link was not clickable. And who looks at the Local chat history all the time? Maybe the client has changed now and it's clickable, but I've gone back to manual group invites anyway.
