Hello,

First, let me say that I know absolutely nothing about SDK. I am not a
programmer.

My company is planning on buying a Galaxerver from AW and we were told that
if we wanted to accept PayPal or 2checkout as payment options and have it
automated (automatic account creation and activation) that we would have to
do this using SDK. I haven't a clue.

So, I was wondering if anyone would know how this could be done - or if it
has been done, is there a place I can get the scripts from?

On another note, is there a website I can visit to learn about BOTS and what
they can do?

Thanks!!!

Mark

I've done this before you need to use PayPal IPN as well as the AwSdk. But I
wouldnt do it for free cause I don't have the time.

Sorry I don't know exactly how SDK would help with payment options.
Maybe it would help supply additional authentication? E.g., the
AW_EVENT_AVATAR_ADD event provides a user's unique citizen
number. A bot might create and activate an account in response to an
AW_EVENT_OBJECT_CLICK event on a sign. (Does PayPal provide
a machine interface for creating accounts?)

My best source of bot information so far has been the official
http://www.activeworlds.com/sdk/ . (You might want to ask here for a
better example instead of investing any time in the "simple greeter bot"
example there.) For just an overview, you might be interested in the
Introduction, FAQ, Events, Attributes, and World Server Administration
links there. Skimming the Methods and Events sections gives a good
idea of what bots can do.

I too would appreciate other bot-related links.

I really appreciate ActiveWorlds providing this SDK. It makes my cit
worth every penny. It's a bit overwhelming -- not because it's difficult
(it's really very simple) -- but because there is just *so* much you can
do with it!

Thanks for your reply. Would you mind giving me a quote on how much you
would charge for your services?

You can send it to mark at lusocity.com

THanks!

Mark

*thwack* You use the SDK to create the citizenship once the payment has been
verified using paypal IPN! You do this using either php or active server
pages.

I was just wondering Jim (I expect to be slammed for this), you *do* know
how to program, right?

Hi Mark,

No, sorry. After over 3 decades of programming, I haven't yet learned
to program -- with sufficiently obnoxious arrogance. Teach me, please?

Are you that old yet? ;-)
