Open Links in SL

Have your links to Second Life© locations, groups, and profiles open in SL from your website.

This plugin is intended as an aid for websites which are created and managed by Second Life© residents. There are many websites like this, and often these community owners run into confusion on how to link their website content (text, images, etc) to the relevant content inside the Second Life© virtual world.

How to use

Simply activate plugin to use. Your published website links to maps.secondlife.com plus world.secondlife.com will automatically open inside of your Second Life© viewer on click.

Example

When you open a profile window in Second Life, you can find the user’s key and also “copy URI”. You will then get something like this:

secondlife:///app/agent/63c3809f-6fe2-4151-aa8d-ab3ce169f01a/about

Take the key such as 63c3809f-6fe2-4151-aa8d-ab3ce169f01a and put it in this format instead to make a link to it from the web:

http://world.secondlife.com/resident/63c3809f-6fe2-4151-aa8d-ab3ce169f01a

Example URL to a location within Second Life:
http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Serena%20Pisces/213/132/23

Example URL to a group within Second Life:
https://world.secondlife.com/group/d7a76a13-68d0-553f-76b3-851a9a07919f

You still need to make sure these links are set up correctly on your website. In the future this plugin may be released with helper tools to create these links properly, but this is not yet a feature.
