Hey everyone!

You will notice our old Joomla website is sometimes on and sometimes off. Here is the deal and some tips.

First off I want to thank fred for all his hard work on dreamgrid.

Some things in the new website require php8, so we have to switch over from php 7 that joomla uses for the new website to fix things and get it going.

Second, I want to thank Gundahar Bravin. He has been amazing with helping us get his epic L.O.R.E plugin for wordpress for maps working. Since website uses HTTPS but a port on dreamgrid uses http that meant we had to figure out a way around it since http to http is preferred. Many thanks to him for helping us with a workaround in his plugin.

With the help of chat GPT I was finally able to get ImageMagick installed and working for wordpress with dreamgrid along with curl and XML-RPC. If you use dreamgrid and your website is via wordpress, you need those 3 things for opensimulator plugin to work.

Apache was having a hard time finding ImageMagick even after i installed the dll, so i had to tell it in the file where the location was and boom, issue solved. Also I had to install a 7.11 version, not 7.12 incase anyone has that same issue.

One thing I noticed is by the next day, the changes i made to php8.ini were reverted back, anyone know why that happened? I was able to simple fix it and its back working.

Thank you to all that have helped me along this process. We will eventually get this new website up, it will just take a little longer then i thought.
