Category : AmarettoBreedables.com- Website Info

Today I would like to talk to you all about the registration/login process for the website and ticket system. As you may know both sections on the website have a separate registration / login system. Now I would like to cover both processes for you real quick.

 

Main website this is for everything but the ticket system.

 

First point your external browser (a browser other than the built in media browser inside second life) to

http://amarettobreedables.com (you need to use an external browser as the in world browsers do not work all the time)

 

Now at the top of the page click Sign up and it will take you to the account creation/registration page

Fill in your email address set the password you want twice (do not use the same password as your email or second life account) and in the profile address you have to put an alpha-numeric word in the box. You create this and it has to have at least 1 letter in it but can have letters and numbers, i.e. tmzasz1 this is for the url of your website profile page and it would look like this http://amarettobreedables.com/profile/tmzasz1 don’t put the http:// or anything else in just put what you want to be behind the last /.

Next change your time zone and language, complete the recaptcha and then read and agree to the terms of service of the site (which are located here: http://amarettobreedables.com/help/terms).

 

Press continue to go to the profile information page

 

Here you fill in what will appear on your profile page

For first name use your SL first name and for last name use your SL last name or resident if you don’t have one

Everything else on the page is optional and completely up to you if you want to fill it in.

Click save and wait for the confirmation email (should arrive within 5 minutes) and then confirm the registration and login that’s all there is to it :)

 

Now for the ticket system

 

The reason the website login does not work with the ticket system is because the systems use a separate user/password style and they can’t talk to each other.

 

Ok to register to the ticket system point your external browser (a browser other than the built in media browser inside second life) to http://support.amarettobreedables.com (you need to use an external browser as the in world browsers do not work all the time)

 

On this page in the center is a register button that looks like a red silhouette with a brown + sign on it click it to start the registration process.

 

Once you click the register button please fill in the account fields:

Full Name please use your second life name not your RL name

Email please put the email you wish to use to login to the ticket system and put a password (do not use the same password as your email or second life account) and finally fill in the recaptcha and click sign up. Once you do you will be able to login using the login box to the right of the screen about halfway down.

 

Once you login you can fill in the profile information if you choose to but it is not required.

 

After logging in at the top where it says > Home > View tickets > Submit a ticket > Knowledgebase > News > Troubleshooter click on home to go to the front page or Submit a Ticket to go straight to the ticket submit ion page.

 

I hope this helps everyone be able to login easier and clears up any confusion.

 

P.S. Ava has made 2 awesome videos that show the signup process for each part!

Hello everyone ive noticed that there seems to be some confusion on the purpose of the event system on the website. I have noticed several events that have been posted over the past week that are for long periods of time ( events spanning multiple weeks ). The event system is for single hit events spanning no more than a few hours. If you have a recurring event or plan on posting an ongoing event please use the advertising system as the event system is not meant for this. The advertising packages are below:

Single Week Rotation 10$

2 Week Rotation 19$

3 Week Rotation 27$

4 Week Rotation 34$

these can also be paid in world using the in world ad payment system.

keep in mind this is for all recurring events as they fall under a constant advertisement and they belong in the advertising section not the event section. An example of a proper event would be something like a 1 time hunt or a special auction that’s not a daily/weekly occurrence. Events that are recurring like this will be deleted and you will be notified why.The reason for this is that genuine one time events get washed out by repeated events that are identical to the previous event posted by the same user.

Hello everyone today I would like to cover 2 important things with the website. First is that we have noticed that some of the tickets when you submit them are getting duplicated in our system, we have determined that the cause of this is a error in the system that when you refresh the page it’s resubmitting the ticket. Now don’t worry it’s not going to get you in trouble or anything but this is to let you all know that when you refresh the page you can accidentally double post your ticket to us which can cause confusion on both ends :(. The best way to see if your ticket has an update reply is to go to view tickets and click on the title that way it ensures its fetching the ticket entirely and prevents these duplicate tickets from causing undue confusion.

Second I would like to cover a detail that I may have left out on my original post about the advertising. When you buy ad space on the website and your ad gets approved to run please be sure that if you edit ANY part of the ad to let a staff member know because the system automatically disapproves and pauses the campaign until the ad is re approved. You wont lose any of the time you paid for but the ad will not be displayed until it’s brought to our attention or we catch it as we go through the system every so often.

 

I hope these 2 bits of info will help you with your visit to http://amarettobreedables.com

Help Videos!!

Hello everyone today i would like to retouch on a topic that has been covered once before. This would be the topic of the helpful how-to videos on the website. Our talented Avalon has created a bunch of helpful how to videos that cover everything from signing up for the website  to the ticket system to even the wonderful G.P.S. tools! These videos were made to answer most questions about the topics that are covered by them. As a added bonus there are a few non how-to videos on the site like the one from the New Year Party or the Amaretto Commercial. As always if any new video ideas come up please be sure to share them you never know it may end up with a how to video!

Heres a link to the videos: http://amarettobreedables.com/videos enjoy

Webmasters Corner

Hello everyone today I want to go over various things and locations on the website.

The first thing I want to cover is the manuals and video help section. When you go to the main website at the top on the red menu bar is a button called help. When you click this button it takes you to a page containing various links. Currently there are 3 links: Horse Manual, K-9 Manual and Video Tutorials. Clicking on one of these will take you to the appropriate page. Inside the manuals you will find various things like basic instructions on how your Horse/K-9 works as well as a list of coats and other aspects of each. The video tutorials link will take you to a page full of helpful how-to videos created by our very own Avalon.

The next thing I want to talk about is the events calendar. On any page on the website if you look under your profile picture at the links below you will see an Amaretto Calendar link, clicking on this will take you to the calendar which lists our monthly events for the current month.

Next i want to touch on the connection blog a tiny bit. As some of you have noticed at the top of http://connection.amarettobreedables.com we have started creating permalinks to some of the most popular connections to help you find the info you need more quickly! These can change from time to time depending on what is being looked at the most or asked about the most in the group.

Finally we have past group notices. Sometimes for whatever reason you may miss or not get a group notice as its sent out. Well for those that don’t know there is a way to look at past notices. Open your communicate window and go to the groups tab. Then click on the group you wish to see the past notices for and over on the right click info. Once the group info tab pops open click on the Notices tab in the group window to see the last 200 notices over the last 14 days archived in there.

I hope this information helps everyone be able to find the info they need easier and quicker!
