BigBlueButton Plugin for ILIAS LMS

bigbluebutton-ilias-plugin's Issues

Wrong Link after Plugin Update

After updating the Plugin to the latest Version (1.0.11) the URL to the BBB room is wrong. Example: https://bbblkrow.bbs-ilias.deapi/join?meetingID=ilias-bbb_info_812_1&fullName=Wolfgang+H%C3%BCbsch&password=eeeeee&checksum=eeeee
Have a look at this part: lias.deapi

BBB ILIAS repository object crashes after entering content tab

I downloaded the recent Version 1.0.11 of your ILIAS BBB plugin on a ILIAS 5.4.12 and configured a BBB Instance with Clientversion 894.When i try to enter the room within a BBB ILIAS repository object ILIAS crashes with the error message below.On a side note:Downgrading the Plugin to Version 1.0.9 fixes the issue. Downgrading isn't that easy because the deinstallation of this plugin is not properly developed. You have to remove the database tables rep_robj_xbbb_conf and rep_robj_xbbb_data by hand.

Exception thrown with message "String could not be parsed as XML"

ilInitialisationGuest::initIlias should be compatible with ilInitialisation::initILIAS()

Due to multiple CSS vulnerabilities in Ilias < 7.16 we decided to upgrade to Ilias 7.16 immediately. Unfortunately we got an error message while upgrading related to this BBB plugin:

PHP Warning: Declaration of ilInitialisationGuest::initIlias($client_id, $client_token = '') should be compatible with ilInitialisation::initILIAS() in [...]/ilias/Customizing/global/plugins/Services/Repository/RepositoryObject/BigBlueButton/guest.php on line 40

It seems we have already the lasted version of your BBB plugin, checked with "git pull". We decided to return to previous Ilias version. But due to the urgency of fixing Ilias vulnerabilities and due to necessity of this BBB plugin, we would appreciate if you could have a look to this error message soon and have maybe a fix. Thanks a lot in advance.

Information about the vulnerabilities in Ilias < 7.16:

Compatibility to BBB 2.3

Does the Ilias plugin been tested against BBB 2.3 already?

We are planning to upgrade from BBB 2.2 to 2.3 behind a Scalelite load balancer version 1.1.

May Legth of Security Salt

Hi,

I have Version 1.0.15 here, and when I try to upadte the salt, this happens:

Security Salt *
Das Passwort darf höchstens 20 Zeichen lang sein.

The salt length is 35

Cheers,
Wolfgang

Recorded sessions access right issue

Recording a BigBlueButton session starting from ILIAS results in a link being added subsequently e.g.:

date 
31.03.2020 13:33 | link | delete recording
31.03.2020 13:31 | link | delete recording

The faksimile above shows a course administrator's view. A course member however will not see any of these links unless being granted the »edit session« privilege.

On the other hand granting »edit session« allows for editing title, description, welcome text and even set the BigBlueButton classrom in question to »offline«.

I wonder why Ilias's usual »Visible« and »Read« permissions are insufficient for accessing links to recorded videos as well.

Compatibility with ILIAS 8

May I ask: What’s the perspective to have compatibility with ILIAS 8?

Thank you!

Link/Menu Item "Learn Analytics Dashboard" is missing

When clicking the "Manage User" gear the Link to the Learn Analytics Dashboard is missing. It appears when using Greenlight and other plugins (e.g. Moodle BBB-Plugin).

Screenshot from Greenlight:

remove false patch of commit e478413, this comma is not needed

In the commit e478413 was one comma add, which is not needed. It gives an error while updating configuration.

Plugin 2.0 release doesn't work with Ilias 5.4.23 / BBB 2.2 (self signed cert problem)

after you suggested upgrading plugin to 2.0.0 here #26
and I did, (still didn't work there with BBB 2.4.5), I can't switch back now to old BBB 2.2 either, because it just fails in ilias with "server not reachable" error. API mate links work perfectly.

language strings are untranslatable?

English is fine, but where is one supposed to enter local language translations for this?

everything I see are translated:

but those on the first picture are not part of those here on second picture...

Tried also to copy english file to estonian but this didn't change a thing either (so if it were worked, would have translated the _et file myself).

cd /var/www/ilias/Customizing/global/plugins/Services/Repository/RepositoryObject/BigBlueButton/lang/
cp ilias_en.lang ilias_et.lang
chown www-data:www-data ilias_et.lang

Should at least made the "-rep_robj_xbbb_maxparticipants-" be replaced by "Max. Participants" or whatever... but nope, still the same "-rep_robj_xbbb_maxparticipants-" style variables everywhere. :-(
What am I doing wrong?

Non-resolvable salt isssue

Your plugin requires the GUI Security Salt value to contain at least one capital letter and one special character. But the security salt is being provided by a different department and we are not able to change it. Moreover a change would require re-configuration of all client applications spread over our university.

Ilias 9 Support

Hi,

Do you plan on updating the Plugin to support Ilias 9? BBB and the direct integration through your plugin are fantastic and we'd love to use it on a current Ilias install.

Thanks!

Ilias 7.6 working as well

You may want to update your main Readme.md file adding Ilias 7.6 support. I've just finished some preliminary tests. So far no errors encountered. Keep my fingers crossed!

file permissions are all screwed up.

by default all the files are only readable by owner user. Is there any actual reason why they should not be readable by everyone?
Please add +r to everything (all the files and directories) inside the downloaded package.
Please add +x to all subdirectories inside the downloaded zip package (so the subdirectories are accessible and readable also by non-root users, so I can cd into them so I don't have to use sudo for cd)

Breakout-Room

ILIAS: 7.20
BBB: 2.0.2

Breakout rooms can no longer be created.

Critical course member recording access configuration problem

Creating a BBB virtual classroom within a given course requires granting harmful permissions.

Situation: An ILIAS course containing a virtual BBB classroom. By default all BBB recordings are invisible to registered course members. This happens although both Visible and Read permissions are being granted to the BBB classroom's Course Member role.

The only way allowing Course Member acces to these recordings requires granting the Edit Settings permissions as well. Unfortunately as a negative side effect this in turn enables course members to delete any recordings .

BTW: Our ILIAS installation is on current 7.20 running BBB Minervis plugin v1.0.15-49-g4c0817 updated yesterday. The current problem description however bites for years

[BBB 2.4.5] Error: You can not join a meeting that has already been forcibly ended

installed fresh BBB 2.4.5 and the current master branch BigBlueButton-Ilias-Plugin (1.0.15 I assume; Ilias 5.4.23)

Now. Activated it. Configured it. And when I try to create a new BBB instance with this Ilias plugin here, I get the error:
