Details on Group Votes

This page describes protocol details for group votes.

Status: Notes taken while reading the source, some guesswork included.

Group Vote Notification

1. Server sends an IM with field Dialog set to 7 to indicate a group IM. The field FromAgentName? contains the name of the avatar who initiated the vote. The field ID contains the group ID.
2. The user is presented with a notification including the name of the initiator and the actual message.The user can chose either "Vote Now" or "Later".
3. If the user choses "Vote Now" the group vote dialog is opened. See below for more details on that.
4. If the user choses "Later" or closes the dialog nothing further happens.

Group Vote Dialog

The group vote dialog sends three kinds of requests to the server:

• A message "GroupProfileRequest?", expecting a "GroupProfileReply?" message.
• A message "GroupActiveProposalsRequest?", expecting a "GroupActiveProposalItemReply?" message.
• A message "GroupVoteHistoryRequest?", expecting a "GroupVoteHistoryItemReply?" message.

Group Powers

There are two group powers relevant for group votes:

• PROPOSAL_START (bit 44)
• PROPOSAL_VOTE (bit 45)

Their meaning should be obvious.

Note: The 64-bit value with the group powers flags is taken from the "AgentGroupDataUpdate?" message. The mask sent in "GroupProfileReply?" seems to be unused, so I am not really sure, why it is requested.
