Group Invitier Script Does Not Invite

[Esquievel Easterwood]

I've been trying to get a group inviter script to work correctly. I've looked at several of them. They all come down to a line like this:

llSay(0, "/me by clicking this link\nsecondlife:///app/group/" + ((string)group_key) + "/about");

Unfortunately, clicking that link  does not offer a group invitation. It just displays the General tab of the Group Information dialog. There is no option to join the group there.

I'm testing this in Phoenix 1.6.1.1691

I need an actual group invitation script that issues an actual group invitation.

What am I missing here?

 

Thanks!

If it's an open enrollment group, there should be a button on the General tab to join the group.

If you're wanting to send them an actual invitation, you'll need a bot   Only people and "scripted agents" can send out invitations.   Prims can't.

The general tab will not show a join now button if you are already in the group.  If you are not in the group and if it is open enrollment, it will show the Join Now! button.  I looked into this several years ago and could not find a better system (other than a bot) than the awkward route you describe.  I am still using that for my join buttons.

The script you use is only a direct link to join them selves. You need a bot system to use an auto invite drop down..

You can find some bots in Marketplace.... They work in conjunction with a script

Downside you have to have a bot running on your PC logged in all the time

Hi the group you send a link to needs to be open for anyone to join then they will see the join option when directed to the profile its the best you can do really other than using a bot .

Thanks everybody.

My script would only offer the invitation to pre-approved avatars listed on a notecard. The idea was to set up an object that my tenants could use to rejoin my land group when they accidentally delete their tags, or so people who want to rent from me but live in a distant time zone could pick up a tag on their own (I just had an experience where I sent three invitations to a new tenant but she never got them due to IMs being capped while they were offline).

I can't have SL running 24-7 just to support a bot.

I don't really see any security issue here if you set up the script to only offer tags to pre-approved people.

Oh well.

Thanks again.

If you look in the marketplace, there are reasonably inexpensive commercial services that rent out inviter bots for so much a month.   You rent the bot, give it the appropriate group roles and set up an inviter with an OS script they give you, and they run the bot for you.
