Creating Events

This is a bit of a "dumb" question.

I have the module installed; I see the events page but there are no buttons or links to create an event. Am I missing something, does there need to be a permission set or something?

Hi SonjaGalileo

The events module is only for displaying upcoming events ... on the website, but even more useful for the loginscreen of the viewer.

For creating events you can provide your users with a special menu item that can be created in backend with:

Menues -> New Item -> Menu Item Type -> jOpenSim -> Submit new event

Mind that jOpenSim must have jOpenSimSearch enabled for this, since this is the only possibility for the component to find out what parcels can be available for the user to create an event (depending on your global settings) ... and because of this, obviously the menu item should be accessible only for registered users

Ok, this brings up another question.

How do I enable jOpensim Search? I'm not seeing it under modules or plugins.

Ok, I see that there is a search function under jOpensim.

I read in another post about putting the dll files in "each simulator bin" I have them in Opensim/bin. Do I also need to put them inside each region's folder too?

No, only in the ./bin folder of your simulator(s) where you execute OpenSim.exe

In other words, if you have several simulators using the same exe but with different ini files, only that one folder needs to contain jOpenSimSearch.dll to be found ... makes it easier for future updates

The rest of required ini settings you find in your jOpenSim backend under "Addon -> Search"

The dll files are in the right spot, I made the ini file changes a while back when I installed.

I have the search menu and there seems to be some data collected.



Though when II go to create an event I get an "Error: no valid land found"

I am a landowner and I have "Create Event" rights in the group. In fact, I'm the owner of the group.

Ok, the embedded image isnt loading for me, but the attached one with search data makes me a little amazed: 16 simulators with 71 regions, but only 1 parcel? Do they all share the same parcel?

Can it be that in your opensim.ini(s) for section [DataSnapshot] the entryis missing or has a different value?

Just a quick clarification, what OpenSim.ini files are supposed to be active?

I have OpenSimDefaults.ini and a OpenSim.ini

Right now, each region is just one big parcel. My wife is working on splitting the regions as needed by use and content. With so many regions that can be quite a task.

If I am looking at the table correctly it shows parcels that are subdivided, named and listed in "show places". So only have a few parcels in the list coincides with the progress my Wife has made in creating individual parcels.

I can test this on another region and see if there is a change.

OpenSimDefaults.ini should never be touched. This file contains all default values and would get overwritten when upgrading OpenSim one day.

Depending on your architecture settings inthere are several other files to be focused. They are usually located in the folder ./config-include/

Basically every region has minimum 1 parcel ... so 71 regions should AT LEAST produce 71 parcels in the search database.

But if in the ini settings you have e.g.or even commented out (then minimum is the value coming from defaults), then parcels will not be reported to jOpenSim for this required table and therefor the parcels will not turn up as valid parcels for creating events at all.

I am showing parcels in the search summary and I'm seeing regions. I am seeing ALL of my regions, but I only see parcels that I have checked "Show Place in Search".

Sooo, by this behavior I would say it is working as expected. Unless I'm supposed to 70+ parcels rather than regions.

I believe this is just a mix up in terminology, regions vs parcels.
