Web Based Online Indicator

[Gus Manen]

I'm looking to create or replicate Second Life Online Indicators written in HTML or Javascript for a website to easily track which of my staff members is online and offline without having to log into my viewer.

 

Is there any script already written for this?  ...if not where would I start?  What servers need to be queried to check online status?

you can't check it from any server we have access to.

instead you would have to check inworld via scripts and export that information via e-mail, http, or RPC.

Or add them the your Friends list then log into your Dashboard (http://secondlife.com) and check to see if they're online there.

(But having an in-world scripted object check their online status and echo that to the "outside" is more reliable.)

As Void said:

1. Make an inworld object that checks who is online
2. Have this object send the result to some outworld server - if you want to put the result on a website, a webserver with e.g. php and a databsse e.g. MySQL would be a good idea. You can write the current state of the staff members to the db
3. a php called from a browser could display the results

I have a ghettoo one I made,it is a sensor that scans the whole sim every 15 mins ,then It creates a list of the names it runs threw a function   that looks for listed names ,if it hits one of the names it emails my servers mail the name,time,date and position.

I used a simple squirrelmail script to post in a java plug in that is  mail to text blog post to a page I can only access.

End result I get their name and location in a log every 15 mins ,Add a simple php script that checks the list every 24 hours  and saves to data base first running threw a filter of rules .It will  only post  to db if they did their full shift(I have their shifts preset as the rules,this is per AV name).It saves the names that did not fall in the filter of rules to a new level so I have a log of the real amount of time there where in the sim .last step it emails my gmail account the name and log of the personthat did not work the agree shift.

 

That is how I made mine,I am sure its not the way it should be done,but I am a unconventional scripter and just make it the best I can.I have fun!! and that is all that matters.

You need to know a little PHP,MySql and mail sever functions and scripting.(all of that is on their websites to learn for free)

 

Do I ever really use it? nope...the people that work in our shops are going on years as staff and if they miss a shift or leave early they just make it up when they can.The fact is the best thing you can do is hire people and pay them more then some linden amount on a camping pad.

I just explain to people ,are you going to get rich ? nope but this will pay your internet bill every month if you cash it out,and we all need some extra money in life
