Viewer URI Name Space

Overview

The SL client supports  links of the format secondlife://Region/123/45/67/<region name>, which have traditionally specified a region name and x/y/z location. This means "run Second Life viewer and show Region on the world map".

The new  URL scheme has 3 slashes, and allows direct control of the user interface and login. For example, secondlife:///app/login

Most secondlife:///app URLs only work from browser instances running inside Second Life because of a denial-of-service attack using secondlife:///app/teleport links to force repeated teleports. SLURLs that work with external browsers include:

• secondlife://<region name>
• secondlife:///app/login

In chat, dialogs and other user interface elements, these URLs will be highlighted as clickable links, often with custom formatting including icons. The full functionality is available in Viewer 2.0 and up. Clickable links without formatting were available only in older versions' chat and IM history.

These links also may be known as Viewer URL Namespace, SLAPP URLs or Application SLURL.

Second Life Wiki formatting

When adding secondlife:// links using the above syntax to a Second Life Wiki page, you can enclose your links in squared brackets (thus turning them into a standard Wiki external link), which also gives you the chance of changing the displayed text. Example:

[secondlife:///app/objectim/190f571d-fdf1-8f6c-4e9d-973e9b5e0566?name=ObjectName&owner=c93c3129-2250-4c79-a5f7-8c755ca2707e&groupowned=true&slurl=Location/128/128/27 ObjectName]

will display as

ObjectName

In this case you will also need to ensure the object name has been escaped.

Sometimes, having the link clickable (which will attempt to launch the Second Life Viewer to open it), is not desirable. Instead, to display the  URI itself without making it clickable, surround it with &lt;nowiki&gt;...</nowiki>. For example:

<nowiki>secondlife:///app/group/8db35111-979b-14a7-6a74-b47be86ce04f/about</nowiki>

will display as

secondlife:///app/group/8db35111-979b-14a7-6a74-b47be86ce04f/about

whereas

secondlife:///app/group/8db35111-979b-14a7-6a74-b47be86ce04f/about

will display the whole link and make it clickable, e.g.:

secondlife:///app/group/8db35111-979b-14a7-6a74-b47be86ce04f/about
