Please note that we don't provide any support for this plugin in the comments section on this page anymore. Please have a look at the github repository of this plugin.

With this integration and the current OpenMeetings version 5.x 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. OpenMeetings also supports access via https and ldap-/Active Directory- and OAuth2-Integration.

Please NOTE: if you have "Access Denied" message while room entering this might be due to cookies are not being saved in iframe.

To bypass this please edit ${OM_HOME}/webapp/META-INF/context.xml and change

      <CookieProcessor sameSiteCookies="Lax" />

to be

     <CookieProcessor sameSiteCookies="none" />

The latest OpenMeetings Moodle Plugin is for Moodle 3.5 and later and is compatible only with OpenMeetings version 5.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 occupy 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 & Presentation)
- 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

Hello Augustin,

sorry, but I was unable to reproduce it. I tested the openmeetings moodle plugin with version 1.7.1, moodle 2.7 and openmeetings 3.0.1.
This openmeetings moodle plugin doesn't work with openmeetings 2.x!
I will test the openmeetings plugin version 1.6 with moodle version 2.7 and openmeetings version 2.x within the next few days, ok?
What version of openmeetings do you use?

Greetings,
Michael

Hello Augustin,

I tested the latest openmeetings moodle plugin version 1.6 with moodle version 2.7 and openmeetings version 2.2.0 and it worked as expected.

But in the debugging mode I've got the following error message because of the changes in the events Api in moodle 2.7:

add_to_log() has been deprecated, please rewrite your code to the new events API

line 48 of /lib/deprecatedlib.php: call to debugging()
line 63 of /mod/openmeetings/view.php: call to add_to_log()

Greetings,
Michael

Hi Fellows,

I installed this plugin but always get the message "Request OpenMeetings! OpenMeetings Service failed and no response was returned."

I'm using Moodle 2.6 with the Plugin Version 2014062601 (1.7) and Open Meetings 3.0.2.

The plugin is perfectly configured.

As per the video above, I'm using a OM user just for SOAP connections. I also tried with the OM main Administrator user and didn't work.

Moodle and Openmeetings are working fine themselves but not the connection between them using this plugin.

What could I do to solve this?

Thanks in advance for your very appreciated support on this matter.

Regarding my previous comment above. It is already fixed.

The problem was caused by the moodle server which had the 5080 port closed in its firewall. Once open, the connection was done fine.

Thanks ...

Hello Michael
is it possible to get a further option to open the room.
(iframe, wholewindow, _blank)
For diffrent reasons this third option will be important for us.

Thanks in advance

Hi Michael,
i have tried 1.7.4. Creating a new course room, saving an then enter the room generates a OM Error message: "Invalid hash". This affects all three possibilities to open the room.

Hello Jochen,

sorry, but I can't reproduce the error you received. I tested the latest moodle om plugin - version 1.7.4 - which works with the moodle version 2.7.x & moodle 2.8.x and the openmeetings version 3.0.x.

Which versions of moodle and openmeetings do you use?

Thanks & Greetings,
Michael

Hello Michael,
sorry my mistake. The user in the plugin had no rights to create rooms.
So relax and have a nice day

Hello,

what happens if you check the following URL: https://yourserver:port/contaxt/services/UserService?wsdl
Is this URL accessible via the browser?

Which port you have configured on the openmeetings server and in the settings of the openmeetings plugin in moodle, port 5080 (the standard port of om)? And what about the firewall? Is the port 5080 open?

Thanks & Greetings,
Michael
