Redmine

Did you read all the install instructions (https://github.com/amartel/redmine_meetings)? The 2 first lines of the install guide are:

redmine_meetings requires ri_cal:

• gem install ri_cal

Hi Arnaud,

Thanks for quick reply.

I have installed ri_cal 0.8.8 and tzinfo 0.3.33. Also i can see it in the 'gem list' out put.

In fact this plugin works fine with Redmine 1.2 on another slice.
The Meetings plugin page says, it is supported for 1.3 but there is no mention of 1.4

I keep getting MissingSourceFile (no such file to load -- ri_cal)

I've the same problem. I hope the plugin mantainer will resolve the bug

Hi Lorenzo,
Thanks for support.
Actually i tried leaving a message to the maintainer on git but i guess it is blocked for messages.

ok, thank you!

for when you upgrade to redmine 2.0 I've forked their project and patched their codebase to work, unfortunately this isn't 1.4 compatible.

Oh and with the ri_cal error, if you upload the attached file into the root of the plugin (vendor/plugins/redmine_meetings/), run bundle again, it should fix the problem.

Hi,
Sorry, I didn't have my Internet access for few days but I'm back again ;)
I don't use bundle yet (I'm based on redmine subversion r8730) and I will be very happy if someone can confirm that uploading gem file + running bundle (as Daniel said) is the solution. In this case, I will update my plugin to add the gem file ASAP...

Hi Arnaud,

I have opened a pull request as well with you; Redmine 1.4 started implementing bundle to manage gem dependencies I believe.

thank you Daniel, it works!!!!

Hi Daniel,
Thanks. It is working with the Gemfile.
Also thanks a lot for this plugin.
Looking forward to many more plugins from you :)

I am testing meeting plugin in redmine 1.4 but whenever I try to open the the conference from mail, it always throws error.
The mail details are:

Start : 2012-12-14 14:55 - (GMT+09:00) Tokyo 
End : 2012-12-14 16:55 - (GMT+09:00) Tokyo 
Location : Use the conference room dedicated to the project 
Follow this link to join the web conference : http://localhost:82/redmine/projects/meetingtest/meetings/join_conference

When I click the follow-up link, it throws "404 Not Found error - OpenURI::HTTPError in MeetingsController#join_conference".
Will anyone please suggest me the real cause of this error.

You didn't give a lot of information about your configuration but I suspect that your bigbluebutton configuration is not correct.
Have you checked the global plugin configuration (administration -> plugins -> Meetings plugin) and are you sure that your BigBlueButton server is running?

Yes the server is running well and plugin configuration is also setup well. I can access the BBB server demo api through browser but the meeting plugin is not able to communicate with BBB server. Public and Private ip is set to http://192.168.189.128 and salt-security is also set. What can be the possible issue for such error.

OK. The only one url that plugin is trying to open is used to call bigbluebutton api(s). If you set private ip to http://192.168.189.128, then the url used will be something like http://192.168.189.128/bigbluebutton/api/join?meetingID=....&password=...x%x% checksum=...
Could you open a user session on your redmine server and try to open http://192.168.189.128/bigbluebutton/api/join to check if this is OK??
Another thing to do is to look in your nginx logs (on your BBB server) to know what url returns 404...

I did try to open the link and it come to end with

This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below.
      <response><returncode>FAILED</returncode><messageKey>checksumError</messageKey><message>You did not pass the checksum security check</message></response>

Is there anything wrong I did in the installation of BBB.

I think plugins fails to call the api of BBB.

Hum, I don't really understand what's wrong. Best thing to do would be to edit file C:/Redmine1.3/apps/redmine/vendor/plugins/redmine_meetings/app/controllers/meetings_controller.rb and insert at line 283 (after line "data = callApi(...") :

Rails.logger.error "BBB response: #{data}" 

and, at line 384 (after line "url = server + ..."):

Rails.logger.error "BBB url called: #{url}" 

Then restart your redmine server, test again and look into your production.log file to see if the 2 previous debug messages are giving you more information..

Finally the error was solved. The error was due to the extra `/` at the end of server IP.
Changing the server ip from "http://192.168.1.208/" to "http://192.168.1.208" solved the problem.

Arnaud, I really appreciate your help. Thank you. :)

Dear,

What about delete meeting?

When I deleted a meeting, it is ok in Redmine but no update send to users by email.
Then, the meeting stills in the calendar.

Do you have any idea to fix that?

Best Regards,
Youssef

Hum. I like this feature !!
I think I could send an email with a cancellation when meeting is deleted (but I don't know if external applications, like outlook for example, will then delete the associated event in their calendar...).

Dear,

Yes it is.

When we cancelled a meeting in outlook, the users receive an email.

Best regards,
Youssef

Dear

Do you any idea if you will implemented in this plugin?

It will be great.

Best Regards,
Youssef

Hi Youssef,

If you talk about the cancellation email, it is already done. I've commited the changes 11 days ago but it will only work with redmine 2.x.x (I'm not working on redmine 1.X since I upgraded all my servers to redmine 2.x)

Kind regards,

Arnaud
