Get group information.

I know that you can get the groups information by calling the metadata from the groups page. There is one thing I want, though, that is unreachable with that method.

I want to know how to return the UUID of the group insignia.

Is there a way to do it? If so, how?

Ask the group's founder nicely?

Well, I'm the group founder, so that's not an issue...lol.

I want to make an object that will automatically update with my group insignia if I change it. I think I may have a work around, but I dunno yet. If t works out, I'll post it here for everyone to share.

How often do you change the group insignia? How many objects are there that need to know about this change?

You could, for instance, manually update an "insignia server" which then emailed or chatted the new uuid to all the other objects that needed to know.

What I am wanting to do is make an item that will automatically detect the insignia of whatever group you set it to. So if I change the group that and item is set to, it will automatically update the texture on the face to reflect show that groups insignia.

I was trying to set up a php generated that would only look at the part of the group info page that showed the insignia, but I realized that I would have to update that then if I did that...make the whole idea pointless.

So, unless there is some way to get the group info using an internal function, (and I know there is because it has to be used to get the insignia for the web page and group info page), then I am putting this on the back burner for now until I find time to delve deeper.

It was a nice idea, but oh well...

This has come up before. The only workaround I can remember seeing is to have an external program pre-digest the page data and send that on to the LSL script.
