Ok first off...I am NO programmer or Web Designer!!

But I want to be able to (for my own content only) be able to allow people to purchase content from my website.
Now I realise that the content is held in-world and the transaction is basically done in-world.

What I need to know is when talking to a web designer what do I need to be pointing them towards.
How should the site be written up.......what is the communication protocol skills required to talk to objects inworld etc.

I am hearing lots of lovely acronyms like php mysql xml-rpc .NET etc now although I am familiar with some....it is kinda blowing my mind as to what bits fit with what to make it all work.

I would greatly appreciate some pointers

Here's the short answer:
LSL Wiki : Communications

Email.

You could use HTTP but the SL object needs to be the one to initiate the communications. Easily done by having llHTTPRequest() run on a timer.

Also, communications to and from SL have all the security and reliability of SL email. In other words, none. Any error checking, redundancy or security needs to be built in with your scripts as well.

You know, the easy way would be to put your stuff up on XStreet or Apez. Build your own website to display and sale your products, but for purchases, link them over to that item's page and use the pre-made services for money exchange and item delivery.

Vialli Rossini · 05-20-2009, 11:48 AM

that is for sure the easier way to do it. I have a few friends who might want to put their products on an "independant " site also. But looking at all the angles. Although looking at that wiki you sent me

What I need is an awesome scripter or lots more chocolate!!

Well, I am not an awsome scripter. I don't mind throwing a few toys together but there is no way I am willing or able to tackle a project where a simple mistake can cost someone a healthy chunk of RL money.
