There are 3 parts to the Joomla Link: the Joomla server running externally on a web site, an inworld personal registration server, and an optional object that is worn or used as a HUD on your avatar .
The registration server will allow you to :
- register on the website
- define a home location
- receive messages from the web
- send messages from the web
The optional position attachment will allow you to :
- show your actual position on the website (optional )
- add friends to your website account
Your user name on the Joomla site will be identical to your avatar name. If it is set up in advance, it must use the same case and a space between your first and last avatar name. The registration server can also perform the registration for you.
Quick Start
1. Edit the "config" notecard to include the site url, password and e-mail address you already (or will) use for your user on the Joomla site.
2. Rez the Joomla Link Server (aka SlContact_xt_personal_server) at your preferred home location. Change the config notecard in it. Touch the object and hit "Reset". You can select Publish/Unpublish to choose to show or hide the information on your Joomla Sl_Contact profile page. You can use "Set Home" to record the position of the object as your Home position.
3. Optionally, wear the Joomla Link HUD (aka SlContact_xt_position) or (more usually) attach in a HUD position. Change the config notecard in it. Touch the object and hit "Reset".
You may texture the inworld server and HUD objects as you wish, for example with the Joomla Link logo.

Depending on the website administrator, you will need to confirm your account from an email sent to the e-mail address you gave in the config notecard.
After registering, you should leave this server box in your terrain permanently.
If you want to send a message from the web or someone wants to send you a message, if the server box is missing, the message will not be sent.
