OK I'm pretty sure the answer will be "NO!", but is there any way to determine a group name from its key?
Assuming there is not, then is there any particular reason why this is not implemented?

Definitely not a pretty solution, but under the right circumstances might be your only solution. As for why there's no llGroupName(key), that's beyond me. Would think it would be somewhat trivial to implement. - Newfie _____________________

If you dont mind routing through a third party server - the SL Account->Land->Groupland page takes a Group UUID as a parameter and can give you the name of the group.

Thanks, Adam. I can't get this to work. I guessed that you meant...
http ://secondlife.com/land/group.php ...and something like: .../group.php?uuid=09afd470-0bf7-436d-d5df-316ebb359c77 or .../group.php?group=09afd470-0bf7-436d-d5df-316ebb359c77[/url] or .../group.php?group-uuid=09afd470-0bf7-436d-d5df-316ebb359c77[/url] ... none of which work!! ...I don't think I can guess at the solution from your initial answer! /esc |

It appears just to be group=<uuid> however it also only appears to work with groups you belong to, unless I am missing something....
/edit - I think the url he is talking about though is https://secondlife.com/account/groupland.php |

Ah. It didn't help that I was looking at the wrong page! Thanks Alondria.
I think you are right - it only works for groups you are a member of. The search goes on  /esc |
