Activities: OpenMeetings
Michael WuttkeWith this integration and the current OpenMeetings version 3.+ you can create different types of rooms and separated users in OpenMeetings with the access-level "SOAP-Only". The "SOAP-Only" user can do exactly what is needed to run the integration but nothing more. This does result in no need for any OpenMeetings Admin-User in the Moodle Module config! So you can better protect your OpenMeetings server from non-authorized access via the SOAP Gateway and no need to share confidential account data. "SOAP-Only" users can not login to OpenMeetings administration or manipulate user accounts via SOAP. OpenMeetings also supports access via https and ldap-/Active Directory- and OAuth2-Integration.
The latest OpenMeetings Moodle Module is for Moodle 3.2 and is compatible only with OpenMeetings version 3.2.x. It is recommended to update to the latest version of OpenMeetings.
Sample Video showing the installation of the Moodle Module and integration with new access level:
The features of the OpenMeetings Moodle Plugin:
- Openmeetings rooms can be displayed inside a Moodle course in a frame, in a new window or can occucy the entire window
- Secure "SOAP-Only" user access level (see documentation on top)
- 3 Moderation Types for Conference Rooms (Moodle admins, teachers and course creators are automatically a moderator):
Moderation Type A) Participants need to wait till the teacher enters the room
Moderation Type B) Participants can already start (first User in room becomes moderator)
Moderation Type C) Every participant is automatically moderator when he/she enters the room
- 3 Room Types (Conference, Interview & Webinar)
- New Flag "Allow Recording": You can set in the room configuration now a flag that controls if the recording button is available or not
- Moodle Module languages: German, French, Spanish, Italian, Russian, Brazilian (OpenMeetings itself has around 30 languages)
- Clear and restructure conference creation form for Moodle moderators

In the plugin settings entering login and password of the administrator OpenMeetings.
I am trying in course to add an element OpenMeetings and getting the error:
"Could not login User to OpenMeetings, check your OpenMeetings Module Configuration"
Debug mode enabled. I have no any errors.
I can not connect as admin OpenMeetings.
In description to OpenMeetings plugin recommended
create special user in OpenMeetings with SOAP access ( "WEB -service (only access via soap)").
But I have no in type list "WEB -service (only access via soap)" in OpenMeetings.
In OpenMeetings settings: allow.soap.register=1
In PHP.ini (v 5.6) soap enabled
Please, any help...
I manage several Moodle platforms. I have two platforms, both in version 3.0 of Moodle, and in one I have installed version 1.7.5 of the module "openmeetings", and in the other I have updated to version 2.0.0.5. In both of them, I have not changed the configuration, it is the same on both platforms.
On the platform with version 1.7.5 I create the openmeetings activity without problems within the course. In the platform where I updated to version 2.0.0.5, when saving the creation of the activity "openmeeting" I get the following error on screen:
Error While signing into OpenMeetings, please check credentials
Error While signing into OpenMeetings, please check credentials
Could not login User to OpenMeetings, check your OpenMeetings Module Configuration
As I said before, the configuration of "openmeeting" is identical on both platforms. I have traced part of the code and the error is exactly giving the call to the login function inside the ./api/OmGateway.php file.
How can I solve it?
Thank you very much in advance.
which version of OpenMeetings do you use? You have created a special user in OpenMeetings with SOAP access?
Thanks & Greetings,
Michael
Either a breaking API change was introduced in OpenMeetings 3.1.2, 3.1.3 or 3.1.4, or we did something stupid.
Tested on Moodle 3.2 with PHP 5.6 using the OpenMeetings admin user.
the issue with OpenMeetings Version 3.1.4, you described is known by the developer of OpenMeetings: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPENMEETINGS-1530
Please, don't use OM Version 3.1.4. Please use now the new released OM Version 3.1.5: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/openmeetings-dev/201701.mbox/%3CCAJmbs8iubirv9rr4-Z-y5qhXCZ9+6jYqUUsMqVEw6BT5w_XuEw@mail.gmail.com%3E

I think that requiring PHP 7 in latest (2.0.0.6) version is unwise. Most of stable branches of Linux distros doesn't support it yet.
I agree with Łukasz Sanokowski. You should avoid requiring higher versions than those required by corresponding Moodle version.
sorry you are right. I've changed the requirements for version 2.0.0.6.
Thanks & Greetings,

Could someone confirm the requirement of PHP7.0 for OM3.2.1? Especially with connection to openmeetings-moodle-plugin. The readme.md file of that plugin (https://github.com/openmeetings/openmeetings-moodle-plugin) contain the following info:
##Requirements## PHP 7.0 or later, OpenMeetings 3.2.0 or later and Moodle 2.9 or later.
Is that correct ot its still possible to use older PHP for latest OM 3.2.1 and latest openmeetings-moodle-plugin ?
(ubuntu 14.04.5 with php 5.5.9-1)
Thanks,
Anton
it is still possible to use older PHP versions like PHP 5.5 or 5.6. We should change the Requirements info in the readme file.
Thanks & Greetings,
