One other issue, the “auth and griduser” tables remain populated. They are not cleared when removing a user from wifi admin. I usually run a search when deleting a user to verify all the baggage isn’t hanging around. It does remove the inventory folders. That is a huge plus.

I agree. However, the page does need to say account created or something. Just to let the user know they can login. Maybe a redirect on success or failure to a designated page. Biggest issue is the user home region setting.

Works, but it doesn’t set a users home region or allow one to set a home region for registration. This is a problem as every time you login, you get the pop up stating that you have no home region need to set one.

Other than that… this has good potential to be very useful to many.

@Rick: you don’t make hypergrid connections with the diva distro; you make connections with other hypergrid-enabled virtual worlds out there. Try http://www.hyperica.com/ or my own Mi Search http://webi.metaverseink.com/opensim/results.jsp?query=type%3Asim&vw=os to find other worlds.

As I understand it the distro if Hypergrid ready. Any recommend example or documentation about making Hypergrid connections with the Diva distro?

Diva. I was adding a line of text into the right menu to temporarily say create accounts was unavailable while I on travel… and noticed that adding in simple body text goes in as black (since the color is not specified in the style) on a black background (which is defined in the style as #000). Can I suggest you add color:#FFF; into the style sheet for the default “body” text definition to help anyone changign things and make sure such added text shows up without them having to work out why it does not?

body {
font-size:100%;
font-family: Arial,’Lucida Grande’,Verdana,sans-serif;
text-align:center;
background:#000 repeat-y top center;
color:#FFF;
}

Thanks for the effort you’ve put into Wifi, Diva. Do you have any plans to incorporate email address verification during the signup process? (ie. Send the user an email and have them click on a link to verify they own the email address).

In a grid environment this really helps with banning griefers, identifying alts, etc.

I spotted that the bottom grey contents box rounded corner image is not present i your design Diva, thiough its in the images folder unused. Did you do that deliberatly to save space, or did you mena to enable it in content-box.html?

What does it reset the password to Diva? Ah, I guess you are meant to type in a new one there and then hit reset Got it!

I have noted that the style.css sets the width of the web page (at 999) jus a LITTLE bit too wide to render without a scroll bar fir the initial sgtartup width for most viewers after their initial installation. Setting the width down from 999px to 980 seems to be enough to make it look good without the scrool bar appearing. Would this be a change you could consider in style.css for the next release Diva?

style.css

alter 999px to 980px for overall page width (3 times)
alter 238px to 220px for right menu width (once)

I also found that lifting the footer up just a little worked well, rather than it trailing over the end of the visible display area on typical laptop sized web browser pages I saw. So I altered footer-pad top padding from 50px to 20px.

padding:20px 0px 0px 30px;

I guess I just go for tighter closed up styles though.
