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

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

- easy installation
- full functional with moodle 2.2.2
- runs on the cheapest host europe v-server
- all without external providers' control (keeping all data on own server might be usefull for certification of data security)

long expected since the times of covcell

Thanks a lot, Sebastian, for all your good work.

I have been using openmeetings module for moodle in Moodle 1.9.x during the last two years, and I like it very much.

But now I've just update to Moodle 2.3.1 and I have a problem installing OpenMeetings Module for Moodle (octubre 2011: mod_openmeetings_moodle21_20111019.zip) in Moodle 2.3.1

I just get the next error in the notifications area of Moodle 2.3.1

Plugin "mod_openmeetings" is defective or outdated, can not continue, sorry.

More information about this error
Debug info: Missing mandatory en language pack.
Error code: detectedbrokenplugin
Stack trace:

line 563 of /lib/upgradelib.php: plugin_defective_exception thrown
line 358 of /lib/upgradelib.php: call to upgrade_plugins_modules()
line 1524 of /lib/upgradelib.php: call to upgrade_plugins()
line 329 of /admin/index.php: call to upgrade_noncore()

Any idea?
Thank's in advance

You might try the latest version here:
https://builds.apache.org/view/M-R/view/OpenMeetings/job/OpenMeetings%20Moodle%20Plugin/

It is not released as we have to discuss some license questions with Apache's Legal Team.

Hi!

I tried installing the stable build from yesterday (2 Dec 2012), but it seems my Moodle 2.3.3+ did not recognize the plugin: it was not installed when I went to the admin page in Moodle.

Thanks,
Mikael

Mikael, I had the same problem with Moodle 2.4, then I discovered that I had tried to install openmeetings as a plugin! I clicked the wrong download link on the openmeetings site.

Otherwise, I hope you managed to get it working

Dmitriy, Did you manage to solve your issue. I am having the same issue, but I get a slightly different debug output - I have no idea what it means:

The module openmeetings does not define the standard capability mod/openmeetings:addinstance
line 3408 of /course/lib.php: call to debugging()
line 65 of /course/modedit.php: call to course_allowed_module()
Request OpenMeetings! OpenMeetings Service failed and no response was returned.

Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance

Hi Keiron, I didn´t understand " I discovered that I had tried to install openmeetings as a plugin!" Is it a plugin ? Right ? I have a problem using Moodle 2.4 with the latest openmeetings apache incubator plugin. Its install without problems but when I try use it receive mensages like yours . The main message is "Can not find data record in database table course"

The debug message " Debug info: SELECT id,category FROM {course} WHERE id IS NULL
[array (
)]
Error code: invalidrecord
Stack trace:
line 1357 of /lib/dml/moodle_database.php: dml_missing_record_exception thrown

You or another member can help me ?

Thanks

Hi Ricardo

I didn't really make it very clear. You have to install openmeetings on a server and install the moodle plugin. What I did was install openmeetings correctly, then I downloaded the wrong file from the downloads page, which meant I was also trying to install openmeetings inside my moodle/mod/ directory - it was because when I followed the download link, I just clicked the first file without reading it properly. The plugin tarball is below it and is probably the one you have installed.

I found the solution to the - My NOTICE [1024] The module openmeetings does not define the standard capability mod/openmeetings:addinstance - error. It is because my hosted webspace had PHP 5.3.17 where 5.4.x is needed. I had to install Moodle on my VPS so that I could use the current PHP.

Now I am getting the error message: Can not find data record in database table course. - the Google search led me back here to your message. Let me know if you figure it out..

Regards

Keiron

I've finally got it working. I realised when I checked the debug properly that I was getting the same error as before (The module does not define the standard capability...), it was just presented differently. After a lot of searching and trying to understand what was going on, I found another version of the plugin here: http://code.google.com/p/openmeetings/downloads/list

it is version 1.3 (the other was 1.4) but it works. The error still appears in the debug output, but it works and with debug turned off you wouldn't know, so its good enough for now. I hope that helps other people who are having the same problem.
