What would be real cool is a function in the LSL API that would allow me to create an object to add the avatar to a group. That way instead of having to respond to hundreds of emails or im's the avatar could touch the object and they are add to a group that I can specify.

You can set the group to "open", so that anyone can join... |

That assumes you want to let just anyone join.

Argent and Saddeus:
Currently if your group is open, an avatar has to search out the group profile and join from there. Or they send you, the group owner, an IM with a request to join. Then I have to go through the four or so steps to send them an invite. What I propose, is a function say llAddToGroup(key avatar, string group) that could be used in a prim. That way, especially for noobs, it would be much easier to join group. Place the function in a touch_start event and go. Even better would be to dialog this avatar to check if they really want to join.
Just a thought, as I know some group owners that have many, many requests on a daily basis. This would be useful, instead of the currently accepted send me an IM and I'll respond to you. I tell you, I hate to see that I have received 50+ IM's when I was offline.

From: Cappy Frantisek Currently if your group is open, an avatar has to search out the group profile and join from there. Or they send you, the group owner, an IM with a request to join. It should be easier to get a group profile, that's for sure. If you're in land set but not deeded to a group, you can't view the group profile directly for "about land", you have to view the owner's profile and view the group profile from it. And viewing group info on an object means you have to edit it first. But either of these is still easier than using the search window. I thought you were looking for controlled access to the group, which is what my comment to Saddeus was about. If you just want to let people into the group without them having to search for it, the easiest way is from "About Land" on a parcel deeded to the group. This isn't as easy as a function, and this looks like an easy function to add (and it should certainly include a dialog) but you might want to try setting something like that up as a workaround in the meantime. |
