Notification Of Sale In Marketplace

[Nightmare Balestra]

Hi Everyone, does anyone know if there is a way to get a notification that you have sold an item in marketplace other than via email. Is there any way to get a notification in Firestorm or any other viewer that you have sold an item in marketplace?

Thanks so much. :)

There's that cash register sound but not what you sold.

Indeed, there is. I use it and so do quite a bit of other people use it, but it requires a bit of coding to get it working.

You can read the documentation here: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Direct_Delivery_and_Automatic_Notification_System

The useage of this is pretty much limitless. You can have it send messages to something such as Growl, Update a database with new information for deliveries, etc.

For your desired purpose however, it would require a bit of setup.

Here is the basic design of what you'd need to do:

1. Aquire a server(or set up your own and use a dynamic dns such as https://freedns.afraid.org/ )
2. Write some php/python/perl/etc code to do the following:
   1.  Accept LSL llRequestURL() addresses and store them
   2. On ANS requests, dispatch data to stored LSL http address
   3. Optionally(and preferrably), store the data locally so you can do redeliveries
3. LSL will accept a POST messages that will send you a IM.

However, if you can aquire a http server, since most services support php(I don't really like php because of reasons, but I'll write it anyway), you can use the following code:

Here is the PHP script, it's well documented on what stuff does: https://gist.github.com/FelixWolf/b3179469e0b6aa112fda

And here is the LSL script, also documented: https://gist.github.com/FelixWolf/233c3508a1a1f0c4c0f9

 

If you need a place to host the php script, theres free hosts out there such as 000webhost(No endorsed or sponsered by them, just a name I know off the top of my head) and what not.

If you need any help with this OR my untested code fails, let me know and I'll see what I can do! :3

Awesome. Thanks so much for the info.
