SecondLife

We encourage users to post events happening in the community to the community events group on https://www.drupal.org.
This group should probably have more organizers. See documentation on this recommendation.

Hey I'd like to form a group of SLers that are interested in conceiving and developing Drupal modules to support effective integration of Drupal online communities w/ SL online communities-- and then showing others how to do it well.

Tons of questions to look into-- how would you share content two ways between an SL "group" and a "group" in the "organic groups" paradigm of Drupal? How can you most easily post your Drupal based videoblog to your SL home? How can you grab conversations and visitor metrics from SL (which can still support ~80 people simultaneously in one place is that still correct?) and report them to your larger community on your Drupal site that can support 10,000s of concurrent users, etc. etc.?

Some of the Drupal sites related to SecondLife that we know of include:

http://www.lindenlab.com
http://teen.secondlife.com
http://www.infoisland.org/drupal/
http://zorin.org/drupal/
http://slispaceflightmuseum.org/drupal/
http://www.webheadsinaction.org/

Please submit your ideas for useful module functionality for effective Drupal/SL integration.

New D4OS release

hello world
i have released a new d4os version.
i did not have time to rewrite everyting during 2011 because irl job, but i could do it now :)

this version is still using drupal 6 (i would write a d7 version later, but i dont know when)
this version was completely rewritten from scratch.
the new code is lighter and the grid users are separated from the drupal users so people can register on the website without creating an account on the grid.
this new version is no more compatible with opensim < 0.7

Metaverse module

Once upon a time, I made a Drupal module called metaverse. It's a sort of update of the secondlife module. It had a home at github.

But now, it's a sandbox project on drupal.org! Woot!

http://drupal.org/sandbox/Mile23/1098076 is the place to be. You can file issues and patches there as with any d.o project. Since it's a sandbox project, it's only available through git.

Of course, if you want to fork and push, the github project still exists: https://github.com/paul-m/metaverse

Bringing this module or one like it up to Drupal 7

I see that the Second Life module hasn't been updated since Drupal 5. Is anyone interested in working on this again? I would be more than happy to help with the module to get a version that works with Drupal 7. I have not used the old version because I don't have a site running on that platform.

Entities

i have read some articles about that and read the node_example module.
thank you Mile23 for telling me about entities.

so we should define standard entities to share between our modules.
defining fields to use like :
for users : grid / map / uuid / name...
for grids : name, loginuri...
etc...

maybe there is already an international standard about storing virtual world user informations... i don t know
like a postal address, usually, there are : name , street, street number, town, zip code
but for avatars...

drupal for opensim

hello
im actually building some modules to control an opensimulator grid using drupal
these modules can use the database directly (the bases can be on the same server as drupal or be separated) or they can control services like Radmin or OsServices or control another drupal website that can access the base directly using webservices.

These modules are using hooks to get/insert infos and the database files are separated. The opensim database layout will change soon, so this should not be a problem.

actually i have done :
- users subscription / modification
- radmin integration

slauth ( log in Drupal site using SecondLife / OpenSim credentials )

hello
here is a new toy/tool to use with SecondLife / OpenSim
http://drupal.org/project/slauth
this is a module to be able to log in a drupal's site using your SecondLife / OpenSim credentials
in the admin panel of the module, you can define the login uri and you can choose a login flow : 0=drupal only / 2=inworld only / 3=drupal -> inworld / 4=inworld -> drupal
to be able to use the drupal login if the inworld login fails or invert...
i hope this will help

about the users integration

i m trying to port the components i have made for Joomla! to be used with drupal.
the first one is called slcontact.

i will not release them in one time and i will proceed by steps because im learning how to dev for Drupal on the same time.

i project to release a module that will depend on this framework and will allow :
- to register on the site from in-world
- to receive messages from the website ( like the contact form )

the message system is already working and i will need then to see how to register on the site ( and learn cvs...:( i prefear svn :) ).
