BigBlueButton BN

Hi Hossein,
Yes we have. But we haven't started working on it, so please keep visiting this page. As soon as we have it, it is going to be released. You can count on it!
Thanks for the interest.

Hi,
As you may know, moodle 2.7 stable released about a week ago. Do you have any plans for updating this module for moodle's latest version?

The bigbluebutton plugin was installed ok, but when I tried to load the activity I am getting this error: "Exception - String could not be parsed as XML". Also having a problem loading the the plugins.php file to get a list of plugins so I can uninstall the plugin and try again. Can someone help?

We do, but that was a "hot fix" only required for the packaging available in the moodle plugin database.
There were a couple of shell files that needed to be removed and they were not in github repo because the .gitignore file
The only inconvenient was that in order to upload a new package the version tag needs to be updated.
I jave just updated the github repo anyways.
Thanks

The download (and Moodle notification) show there is a new version 2013110104 .
Howver, your git repo (which we use), is still showing version 2013110103
Are you no longer updating your github repo ?
(same for recordingsbn module)
Thanks,
Johan

Hi David,
Indeed, you can disable the recording feature by modifying the code in your deployment. Just comment third block in mod_form.php (line 76 to 87).
The whole configuration of the meeting can be done by any user with granted privileges for editing content in the course. Normally teachers.
Regards,

Is it possible to disable the recordings feature? Currently it seems like any user can choose to record. I'd like them not be offered this option.

We installed a BBB server, version 0.81. We are running Moodle 2.5.3+ (20131224). We installed BBB/BN (2013110100) and RecordingsBN (20131101) plugins on Moodle.
On our server and on the BBB test server, we can initiate a session. However, when recording is enabled for the session (the login message panel says recording is on), no recordings are listed in the RecordingsBN Resource page. This is the same for our server and the BBB test server.
Any suggestions?
Thanks, Floyd

Error: Exception - String could not be parsed as XML in moodle 2.6
how to fix it?

Good catch Calvin Tan. Apparently the way the version for plugins is handled has changed in M2.6. The patch you proposed is correct for M2.6. Unfortunately it won't work on previous versions, so the "official" fix will be a selective assignation. For your case you can keep the patch you made.
On the other hand, the version is not really important if you dont give support for multiple Moodle versions. So if you could also safely get rid off these lines, and also the one that assigns the value to $module. ( $module = $DB->get_record('modules', array('name' => 'recordingsbn'));)
Thanks for letting us know.

I'm using moodle 2.6 and getting an error in view.php line 126. Seems $module->version is not defined. Anyway I changed that to get_config('mod_'.$module->name, 'version') to do the same thing.
This issue occurs in recordingsbn view.php too, line 81.
Anyone else experienced this?

I have installed the plugin (latest version) in my moodle 2.5.2 site, and when I try to open a virtual class, whici I have created I have the message "Directory "/home/jereisma/public_html/eclass/mod/bigbluebuttonbn" is writeable by group"

Thank Jesus
I have created a post on that forum. Hope some people can help me.

First, I would recommend you to use the forums instead of the plugin main page. It is the best place to follow up with you https://moodle.org/mod/forum/view.php?id=7797. Also, if you think you find a bug, the place to report it is https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/CONTRIB/component/12231, as you can see in one of the previous posts in this page.
Two suggestions.
Activate the "Debug messages", ALL or DEVELOPER will give you a good idea about what is going on. Perhaps is something you can fix on your own or it can give us more information to help you.
Two, In most of the cases the problem is communication between servers. You probably already did this test, but the recomendation is to run on your moodle server (assuming it is a linux/unix one)
wget http://test-install.blindsidenetworks.com/bigbluebutton/api -O - --quiet; echo
you should have an xml as response indicating SUCCESS

hi, I have installed moodle (2.5x) and BBB plugin (2013110100). But the bbb activity of my server cannot work. It means that the BBB activity cannot redirect to the test-install server (http://test-install.blindsidenetworks.com/bigbluebutton/), it just shows a blank window. I have checked the setting (url and salt) is correct. Also, I have ssh into my server to test (make a quick call ) to the test-install server, the result showed success.
Do you know what is the problems? is it need some corrections in the plugin code? and how to correct it?
Thank you very much!
