This is a Linker Script between external scripts (e.g. sloodle_blog_hud.lsl in the Sloodle Toolbar) and the Moodle blog. It allows a blog entry to be made remotely, provided that the request can be authenticated (by Prim Password), and the user can be identified (i.e. an association can be made between the avatar name/UUID and a Moodle account; see Registration and Enrolment).

[edit] Future Features

It would be desirable to add the option of different publication states. Currently, 'site' is used for all posts. However, 'public' and 'private' would also be useful.


[edit] Additional Information

Debug mode will output additional data, indicating what is happening at all points in the script.
