AjaxLife 0.3.0 is up now. Yay!
Here are some release notes:
- Inventory window is fifty pixels wider by default
- Inventory has a context menu
- Inventory items can be renamed (but folders can’t)
- Inventory folders and items can be moved to trash and/or purged
- The trash can be emptied
- Folders can be created
- Properties window for inventory items (read-only for now)
- “Copy UUID” option on inventory items (if you have full permissions) – copies directly to clipboard in IE, opens a dialog with the UUID pre-selected in everything else.
- Inventory items show their permissions on mouseover
- Addition of keyboard shortcuts (same as those used in SL):
- Ctrl-Q logs you out
- Ctrl-T opens the IM window
- Ctrl-I opens inventory
- Ctrl-H opens the chat window
- Ctrl-M opens the map
- Ctrl-Shift-1 opens the stats window
- Ctrl and Command/Apple are interchangeable under Safari
- When used in Fluid with Growl installed, Growl notifications are shown for certain events
- Bugfix: friend lists will no longer display a list of nulls or blanks
- Bugfix: The map window’s “Focus on target” button now actually focuses the target, not your position as of inital login
You can see some screenshots of the new inventory stuff in my earlier post.
I hope you like it. 
Awesome new version, keeps getting better and better.
Is the old one still running on an old address at all? I can’t get the new one to work on my work computer, think I need to install flash but I don’t have adminstrative consent to do so! If not, that means i actually gotta do work when im here! *gasps*
Please please pleaseee say there is still a way for me to get on with the old ajax?
xxxxx
That’s odd – it shouldn’t be breaking without flash. I’ll look into it.
What web browser are you using? IE6?
I’m not sure, how can I check that? I may be wrong about the flash thing, it just doesn’t load properly. At the bottom of the screen, where it should say “first name” “second name” “password” etc it says (loading) then if I still try and log in, the page changes so the login details are at the top but theres no bar loading it up, and it says ‘done’ at the bottom of the screen. Any ideas? Thanks for your help hon x
Found the problem, I left a comma on line 1,880. It should be fixed in about five or ten minutes.
There we go. It should work if you reload the page now.
Aw Katherine, you are a bloody legend!!! When it’s my payday you are getting a hefty donation from me
you’re a star! thank you!! xx
Is there anyway you connect into openlifegrid as well as osgrid?
its loginuri is -loginuri http://logingrid.net:8002/
If I can get it to connect without crashing the region, I’ll add it in the next release. I was going to do so this time, but forgot to. Sorry!
(As a hint: If you want things done, the issue tracker is a good place to point this out.)
I am coding that parcel stream player, I’ll send some code your way Katharine if you’d like to look at it.
Great work, Katherine! I had thought of making an ajax-viewer about a year back, but as always the real world step in when I think I have enough free time to persue the idea. I’m glad someone took the lead!
Have you considered group access/group chat yet in the latest version?
Hmm… not sure if it’s related to AjaxLife, or to SecondLife. Just tried what I thought was your latest version at ajaxlife.net (currently pointing to http://67.202.54.67/) and it logs in ok, and shows me all the windows, BUT when I try to chat with someone I get no reply (and I’m certain they are not away), *and* I see a re-occuring bubble appear at the top saying ‘Network reconnecting’ – keeps popping up every 20 seconds or so.
That basically means the server died on you. Or your internet connection.
Although displaying “Network.Connecting” is a language file error that should be corrected.
Wanted to pop in and tell you that on Monday, our office finally moved forward and we’re now running IE7.
The new version of Ajaxlife is a thing of beauty and I just wanted to weep with joy as I opened an inventory folder and was able to give a friend information she needed from a notecard!
You’re awesome!
Esse AjaxLife o avatar anda, corre, voa?
Trabalha?
Se ele anda, corre, voa, como que eu faço para fazer isso?
Porque eu ja tentei muitas vezes e não consegui…Por favor! Ajuda!
Hey Katharine, is there any online demo of your app?
Tks
PO, yes – that is, in fact, the idea. Visit http://ajaxlife.net to see/use/play with it.
@ "Eu preciso de ajudo no AjaLife"
Just a little help to the brazilian fellow that ask some questions.
O AjaxLife é um visualizador do Second Life escrito em AJAX. O AjaxLife NÃO permite que você movimente seu avatar (apesar de você poder receber teleports, e se não me engano, usar o mapa para se teleportar). Mas, não é possível andar, correr e voar.
O AjaxLife é para ser usado por pessoas que não tem um computador poderoso o suficiente para rodar o SecondLife, ou não possuem privilégios para instalar o programa (como em computadores de escolas, bibliotecas ou empresas). O propósito desse visualizador é prover as funcionalidades básicas como chat, ver quem está online, organizar o inventário, ou coisas assim.
Espero ter ajudado!
… and it works perfectly on Safari on my mac, through the proxy/firewall..
amazing.
Fantastic work Katharine!
I just foundy your site and have been trying to log in to SL, but after I put in my log in information the botton line with the boxes for the log in disappear, but nothing happens. I’m using Mozilla browser. Can you help? Thanks.
Katherine – It’s just timing out when I am trying to log in. Any help you can provide would be lovely.
I’m having the same issue as Fiona. I love your work Katherine and look forward to any build you release. Keeps me from getting into trouble at work but still allows me to chat with my friends!
same problem as Fiona, using latest stable Firefox
Should be working now.. hopefully. :p
fwiw, the beta of Internet Explorer 8.0 is able to login but then the screen goes white and you are unable to use search. You also have to enable the Emulate IE7 mode to login at all.
That’d be because IE8 breaks the web.
I’ll see if I can work out why.
Hi katehrine,
I have the same prob Jen described above the log in area just says loading. I guess somehow im not downloading the right version:( I have tried clearing the cache and it still happens using IE 6.0.2 can you help me i miss my SL pals and hate moveable life lol thanks in advance
Okies… Gruop Chat finally comes up, but it’s bugging. It comes up as the name of the user who you first received a message from – if this is someone you are chatting with in IM, then it merges with it. Also, I don’t think you can reply to group messages.. I’ve sent a few questions in one and didn’t get any responses – conversation just flowing like they were never asked.
That’s ok – whenever I respond to a group chat message in the full SL client I never get a reply anyway :S
KJ, that’s actually a bug in AjaxLife 0.3.1, which was deployed without fanfare (although it’s tagged in the code.)
I’ll fix it as soon as possible.
hey there
I still get the same problem as Jen. At the bottom of the screen, where it should say “first name” “second name” “password” etc it says (loading. Even if I key in my name and password, nothing happens.
Can you try to look into it?? Thanks..Red
This suggests that you’re using a browser that chokes on the scripts, or that a firewall is blocking the scripts (e.g. at my school one of the scripts gets blocked due to excessive use of responseXML and similar.)
What browser are you using, and can you access http://static.ajaxlife.net/AjaxLife.All.js and http://static.ajaxlife.net/AjaxLife.Libs.js?
Hi Katherine when i try and run either of these scripts I get an erorr
Line 1
Char 1
Error Invalid Charecter
Code 800A03F6
Source Microsoft JS compilation
The funny thing is i used to be able to run ajaxlife no problems this just tsrated one day.
I hope this helps solve the problem
You’re not meant to be able to run them – just download them without it being blocked by a firewall.
*hugs you tight* What you’ve done is an amazing thing, and at such a young age. Do you plan a career in the IT industry? Surely you’d work a name up for yourself were that the case.
okies, that’s strange… I didn’t get to catch much of it as I only noticed as they were going away.. by I just got two error messages.. one of them concerning E.YourPosition ~ or something like that..
Hi Katherine Well it looks like I can down load the files. I still get the perpetual loading error and can’t run Ajax Life so must be some thing with the way my PC is now. I used to be able to Run Ajax life on it it just stopped one day with this error. I have had the same error with other pcs in places like airports etc. I hope you can help me get ajax life back I hate moveable life with a passion. Thanks sparkle
At a guess, I’ve done something to upset Microsoft JScript. It shouldn’t be suffering from compile errors… hmm. I shall investigate this.
Hi Katherine thanks for your help I dont knowif this is useful
On my laptop it will not run ajaxlife on any network so its not a firewall problem with the provider and I dont think on my laptop
I have had the same ajaxlife not loading problem with PCs in public places e.g. airports
I have managed to gett ajax life to run in internet cafes.
So it looks like some computors do not like ajax life somehow
Thanks for your help
P.S. Save me from being doomed to moveable life lol
And what web browser are you using when it does or does not work?
Ajax has been down all day for me… is this a TOS thing or something else?
xoxoxo
Arg. This is what happens when the load balancer enters the state of telling itself it’s doing something when it actually isn’t.
It’s fixed now.
hi katherine Ajax life does not work on my lap top using Internet Explorer version 6.0.2900
I hope this helps get to the bottom of the problem thanks sparkle
Nice thing, really, would love if i would be able to log in.
Unfortunalely i cant login from my Mac (OS X 10.4.12) neither over Safari 3.1 nor Camino 1.5.5
Maybe it has to do with m password whos damn long and includes special characters like “öé” etc…
What error do you get? If it’s “Timed out,” LL’s login server didn’t respond. Otherwise it’s some sort of odd bug that I didn’t know about.
Sparkle, as a note of advice, when you say ‘does not work’ you should provide more information. What ‘does not work’ exactly? Can you log in? Do parts of the interface have a strange behavior or do not open? Do you see any messages appear? You need to tell Katherine what you are doing, and what results you get (or not get).
‘Does not work’ is too vague to be of much help!
Barbara, I use Mac OS X (10.5.1) and Safari 3.0.4 – AjaxLife does not appear to work for me either – just shows the ‘Logging in’ window, followed by a ‘time out’ window.
It is possible that Safari’s AJAX support is not up to Katharine’s standards.
I would suggest using Firefox 2 (2.0.0.13 atleast) – it works very well with AjaxLife on my MacBook.
Actually, it’s developed in Safari, which is the only browser which actually does what I might like it to do fast enough. Which is slightly odd, given its not exactly famous for its JavaScript performance (Actually, I develop it on WebKit nightlies, but…)
And the “Timed out.” message is from the AjaxLife server, commenting on Linden Lab’s login server not working.
Hi digital mouse
If you scroll up to my other posts you will see I have described the problem and said it is the same as others are having. AJAX life loads the picture but the bottom boxes for sign on etc just say loading perpetually and Ajaxlife wont work.
This was Kateherines question
“And what web browser are you using when it does or does not work?”
So I replied. It seems that my lap top has just stopped loading ajax life it u sed to and i was hoping katherine might help find the cause seeing s I hate moveable life.
I hope kateherine can help get it fixed its either a chnage that my laptop doesnt like or a setting that needs adjusting but I have tried to chnage things without much suceess
Well, I’m lost. I am completely failing to reproduce this issue using IE 6.0.2900.
However, the error it failed with when you tried running the script directly implies that there’s some error that’s preventing it even reading the script…
Please can you tell me what error it produces? IE should display a warning triangle in the bottom-left corner. Click it and copy all the error messages (if there’s more than one, you can click “Previous” and “Next” to see them.)
It’s running perfectly everywhere I can test it.
Ah here we go i see the triangle and when i click it i see the following
Line 2
Char 1
Error Invalid Character
Code 0
URL http://75.101.197.28/ajaxlife.kat
LIne 45
Char 4
Error ‘AjaxLife’ is undefined
Code 0
URL http://75.101.197.28/ajaxlife.kat
There are the two errors hooray now I hope you cann help me get it fixed and banish moveable life lol Thanks in advance sparkle
Tried the login http://ajaxlife.net/login/ and couldnt see a place where I could actually log in.. is it hidden or framed?
Help!
The login page is http://ajaxlife.net – I have no idea why people are using ajaxlife.net/login now. It’s never going to work. :p
Hi kathereine Did you see the error messages i posted above thats what i get when try and use Ajax life and I am using the log in described above. I loved ajax life i’d dearly love to get it back I hope you can help
Those errors should be gone now, or at least different. Have you tried since yesterday?
Hi katharine,
I tried again and cleared my cache as well just in case i was bringing a stored copy but still get the same errors on Line 2 and Line 45 as i described above
Hi Catherine sorry to bother you but did you get a chance to look at the problem withAjax life not loading i still get the same error message. I am using a German lap top I wonder if this is the problem? What are the charecters on line 2 Char 1 and line 45 char 4. Moveable life is grinding to a halt so any help you can give in resolving this problem would be really great
Thanks Sparkle
Line 2, char 1 is “A”, and there aren’t 45 lines in the first place. Since I can’t reproduce the issue, nobody else has reported the issue, and I have no idea what the issue is, I’m afraid I’ve largely given up trying to fix it. If you visit http://ajaxlife.net/noframes, can you “View Source” and tell me what encoding it claims to be using? (It’ll say something to the effect of “<!-- Using gzip encoding. -->” or “<!-- Using identity encoding. -->”. If it’s using gzip, that could be the issue (although it’d also mean your browser and/or proxy is lying – which certain bad proxies do.)
HI Catherine
1st the good news when I go to the page http://ajaxlife.net/noframes, the login page loads and if i enter my details I log into Ajax Life perfectly so I can use it again so thanks for your help.
I checked the source and it is using identity encoding.
Jan reported the same problem at the top of this thread 9th March and I have seen it when i try and use ajax life at terminals in airports etc.
But you have saved me from the evil cluthches of movable life so have a big hug. May be the fact that this page works will help you sort the problem with the standard page
Cheers Sparkle
For the majority of people I’ve spoken to this issue was fixed a month or so ago.
As for it working without frames, that’s just really, really strange. Hum.
