wordpress_bigbluebutton_plugin's Issues

Sort recording list by the courses.

Hello

I am using the shortcode [bigbluebutton_recordings] to list the recordings list.
Can I sort the recordings list by the course?

Currently, It is listing all the recordings on the page. If in have to list that particular recording, How this can be done? What shortcode do I need to add to bring the relevant recordings list only?

Thanks.

Search feature was removed in the panel on the meetings table: This could be added back .

Voicebridge MUST be >= 5 digit

the voicebridge MUST be a number consisting of at least 5 digits. Otherwise, the error (generic 1004 error) in the figure may occur and you may not be able to use the microphone.

Website in german - Widget info in english...

Hi Alberto.

Thank you for this marvelous plugin. Well done! I just migrated from the very old bbb WP plugin to yours and it´s marvelous.

I only have one small issue in the widget:

The Website is in german. I saw that you have german locals in the source. The WP ist set to german in the backend.

BUT:
The widget stays in english language:

Where can I save the right language in the plugin configuration. It does not seem to fetch the setting from WP correctly.

Thank you for your effort and time again! ;)

All the best,

Clicking on row to see participants list not working

An user reports that is not working the list of participants after clicking the row.

Sorry, you are not allowed to access this page.

Installed the new BBB 3 Beta-Plugin on my WP 5.3.1 Site. After activating the plugin if I press "ROOMS" in the config Panel the system rejects by saying

"Sorry, you are not allowed to access this page."

I can´t continue configuration the Plugin.

Plugin is activated, user has Adminstrator rights.
Shouldn´t be like this, or am I missing something here?

CSV bulk upload to create rooms

Hello everybody,
I have to create around 50 rooms.
Fortunately, there is the function to upload a CSV file with the room details.
I filled out the template and then uploaded it. After I click on "Import" the page loads. But then nothing more happens.
No rooms were imported. Where is the mistake?

My CSV file looks like this:

Meeting Room Name;Meeting Token;Attendee Password;Moderator Password;Wait for Moderator;Recorded;VoiceBridge;Welcome Message;Join Custom Parameters
john doe;;afr;sprechtag-ks;no;no;11111;Welcome to John;

Thanks for help

Use broker.php to update tables of recordings and active meetings

How: we can't avoid cross domain issues and write easy javascripts functions using wordpress as a proxy. In fact the /php/broker.php has that purpose.
Advantages:
-we can set a cache in order to distress WP
-hide BBB behind WP instead of having public access

Remove the room id from the table of active rooms

display list of participants of a room

display the list of the participants of an active room, in the table of active meetings, in somehow way, for example a message or popping out a box

No data displayed in Activity monitor table

There is a problem converting XML into Json format in dataSrc function of Datatables library, and therefore no rows are displayed even we are getting the right info from BBB Server.

Voicebridge always shown

Hi again.

We don´t use Voicebridge.

When setting VoiceBridge to 0 or leaving it empty in our CSV @ the message of Voicebridge will still be shown which is a bit confusing for participants what it means.

Second Question:
Where can we find a documentation of the "Custom Parametes" and "Actions" that can be set ? Probably there is a switch there which we haven´t found.

Thank you for this great plugin.

ERROR Message: "Sorry an error occured while joining the meeting." by multiple rooms

Hello everybody,
I created about 30 rooms with the plugin. I have integrated all of these on one page with the shortcode [bigbluebutton].
Unfortunately, I get the error message "Sorry an error occurred while joining the meeting." when I try to join the room (user or moderator). It is only possible to join the meeting which was started first.
The error message only appears if another conference is already active.
It is therefore not possible to hold several conferences at the same time.
Can someone help me with this problem? thanks

This plugin is giving a 504 error

After configuring room with this plugin it throws 504 error

List of Active Meeting Rooms Not listing

The list of active rooms does not show anything either in the administration panel or by using the short code on a page.

BBB version 2.2.9
WordPress 5.4

Issue, when Plugin "BBB Administration Panel" is installed in an Wordpress on an Yunohost Server.

Your Plugin "BBB Administration Panel" is funcion fine in my Wordpress 5.5.1 which is installed in a normal Webhosting packet.
When I install it in Wordpres 5.5.1 on an virtual hostet Yunohost Server, it does not function with the URL and shared secret data of my own BigBlueButton Server. Otherwise when I use the URL and the shared secret from the blindsite testserver it is function OK.
Have someone an idea for resolve?

Reimplement Post type support

I prefer to use this plugin but the original one use the post type to create events.
In that way for us is more simple to let our users to create rooms and so on without access to BBB.

No voiceBridge set when creating room

The first time a room is created, is created with voiceBridge value 0, while is set properly in the DB.

Is set in DB because I see the value properly in BigBlueButton settings page in WordPress.

But in /var/log/bigbluebutton/bbb-web.log I notice the value voiceBridge value is set to some 70xxx instead of my value.

Notice: Undefined index: organizer in /var/www/na-zone-frontend/wp-content/plugins/bbb-administration-panel/bigbluebutton-plugin.php on line 865

Unable to display the meetings. Please check the url of the bigbluebutton server AND check - URL is correct - BUG ?

Hello everybody,
I always get the message "Unable to display the meetings. Please check the url of the bigbluebutton server AND check to see if the bigbluebutton server is running."
My BBB URL is correct and the meetings are working too. My url is https://xx.yy.net/bigbluebutton/
Can someone help me how this message disappears? Thanks.

Wordpress shortcode

Is there a complete list of arguments for wordpress shortcode?
Ther isn't one on the bigbluebutton plugin page. The 'submit' argument does not seem to be interpreted correctly by wordpress (in gutenberg) either.
thank you

auto-join room when 'wait for moderator' is active does not work

I may have hit a bug here or maybe something changed on the BBB API side.
There is an update for BBB since a couple of days ago.
Please let me know what other information do you need for debug.
Thank you.

[EDIT]
Further in the console I get repeated errors: json parse error

Wordpress Critical issues version 5.6.2

Hello,

These 3 critical errors are showing when the BBB Admin app is activated.

Add field when creating a new meeting room. Ability add a sub category to the MySQL base to send a call to BBB for meeting room category

i.e “General Meeting Rooms - Luminosa”. This Token would contain all the general conference rooms for Luminosa. This feature was accessed from the original “Demo Rooms” that original presided on the BBB server before we started using WordPress. I remember you telling me we could have setup the pluggin to perform this function on WordPress if we want to at that time. In the end, we decided to create the drop down menus on WordPress instead of the plugin

The recordings deleted are still in the table

in the recording list table, after deleted a recording, the row is still in the table

Download CSV template file to add rooms

Este archivo XML no parece tener ninguna información de estilo asociada. A continuación se muestra el árbol del documento

Hola, a tod@s, tenía funcionando bien varias salas, pero comenzó a salir un error al cargarlas desde wordpress:

response
eturncodeFAILEDreturncode
messageKeynotFoundmessageKey
message
We could not find a meeting with that meeting ID - perhaps the meeting is not yet running?
/message
response

Pero lo más extraño, es que al cargar las salas desde el administrador, sin colocar clave de manera directa, inicia bien, intenté con otro servidor pero me aparece Sorry an error occured while joining the meeting.

Estoy pensando que quizás sea un error de PHP del sitio o algo así, agradecería si alguien ha pasado lo mismo me dijera como lo solucionó, por favor, muchísimas gracias.

getMeetingInfoURLWithoutModeratorPwUrl method missing in the BigBlueButtonAPI

Hi, Alberto,
Clicking in the row in the "List of Active Meeting Rooms in BBB Server" section in the admin panel doesn't work as expected for me. The text stated: "Click on the row to see the participants list", but I receive an error in the console "500 (Internal Server Error)". I guess it's a bug due to calling to a non-existing method. The function bbbadminpanel_action_get_meeting_info() at row 1586 calls BigBlueButtonAPI::getMeetingInfoURLWithoutModeratorPwUrl($meetingID, $url_val, $salt_val) but such a method is not defined in the BigBlueButtonAPI.

I think I can add the method myself, but I'm afraid it could be missing again in the next update.

tables not displayed on the admin backend of the module

All I get in browser dev console is:

[Error] Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found) (pdfmake.min.js.map, line 0)

I tried the version in wordpress repository (installer) and also I downloaded the zip and installed it manually. It's all the same result.

Any idea for a quick fix?
I can give you the admin user to test directly
Thank you!

BBB Panel permission issues

Hi,

I'm having issues on our site.

We have a membership plugin that create a role for each membership level. After this we go to BBB Panel and change the permissions for the user roles but it's not working properly.

We used to have the plugin from BBB (blindside) that showed like your Panel but on BBB v2.2 we had to add your plugin since blindside was it's too freaking basic (and bad).

A room is created on "Rooms" and then with your plugin we changed the permissions. For some reason we cannot have it both enabled anymore because your plugin it's not forcing the permissions and when we click on "Join" it shows WP error screen saying to ask permissions and try again...

Any advise?

Add feature to adding symbolic link to a “file share” folder just above the welcoming message when creating a new meeting room

code refactor

many of the code can be refactor in common functions, in order to help future reviews and fixes

Suggestion: People with access to recordings should be allowed to delete their own recordings.

See user name or ID in active meetings enhancement

Great plugin thanks! It would be great to see the names of the users/moderatos in the active meeting list
