Fantastic module, I LOVE IT!! VERY professional looking. I too am having the issue with *66 giving me the fast busy, no biggie though, as others have pointed out I just use the misc application thing.

one other question, I'm wondering when the list users is supposed to work?

If I log in and setup a conference as a non admin user, it works fine but I can't list people who are in the conference when I click "current confernces" and then click the conference number.

However an admin can always see users in the conference regardless if they created it or not.

Thanks for hard work guys!

I do have a question though. When a conference is in use and I go to scheduling, current conferences, and then pick my conference in session, is it supposed to list users who are currently in the call? I keep getting no user in this conference.

Thanks for hard work guys!

I have logged the problem you described with *66 in the module bug tracker (http://projects.colsolgrp.net). Well be looking at it shortly to see what has gone wrong. Thanks for confirming the problem.

I haven't tried the list current users function - can anyone else tell mspieker and the rest of us if its listing users on your system?

Module version 1.0.1: Maintenance Release

Module version 1.0.1: Maintenance Release

Please download and upgrade your Web MeetMe Helper Module from this location.

This upgrade should be applied to ALL current installations.

There is one change in this maintenance release.
(http://projects.colsolgrp.net/issues/show/9)

1. The system created feature code did not permit access to the conferences. That has been corrected.

As always - please let us know how the latest upgrades work for you!

Web-Meetme Practical application

How is the Web-Meetme used in practical terms?

I see the conference is made, with the date and timeframe. I also see where you can "invite" certain people, and it even asks for their phone number. Seems like you'd want their phone number to either:

A) send a voice "reminder" to their phone number notifying them about their conference.
B) when they call into the conference, since their phone number is known, it would automatically push them into the conference without requiring them to enter the conference room info.

Also - what about assigning a DID to the conference room or multiple DID's tied to different rooms ??

Are any of these items in the infrastructure or am I just hoping for items based on some of the data that is provided?

In "practical terms", I believe the biggest advantage of Web meet me 3 is that the conferences are only valid during a limited period. With the standard meet me conferences, the pins can eventually become known - which makes it extra risky to make them available to the outside world.

Assigning DIDs Web meet me 3 conferences is modestly safer -- because the conferences themselves are generally only viable for a fixed period of time. If you use the helper module, a feature code for the Web meet me conference rooms is already created for you. All you need do is create a custom destination to that feature code, and creating inbound route to that destination.

It just occurred to me that creating the custom destination might be something the module could do for you as well. I'll give that some thought for future releases.

Many parts of the meet me 3 user interface are certainly not as functional as I would like to see them. Unfortunately, while we do maintain the helper module, and we did get the install script together (thanks to Joe Roper), we are not directly involved in the development of the Web meet me 3 software. Like every project - Im sure they would be happy to have more developers working on it - you can find the project here.

Feature code *66(I changed to *666) not working...

I looked thru the logs, and here is what I see

.

When I set a destination on a route web-meetme..I then call in on the trunk and get dead air, and a hangup.

The logs show ...

Finally using the web interface I can't edit a future conference. What happens is the information is not filled in correctly for the conference. meaning the time, conf number, ect.... when I click to edit, most of the info is blank!

Perhaps a re-install... I have never had the webmeetme3 before...Just the default pbxinaflash web piece...

here is my version infor :

In the emailed version of your last post, I saw this in your log entries:

[2009-07-09 09:59:37] WARNING[25718] pbx.c: No application 'CBMysql' for extension (custom-meetme3, s, 3)

Does that indeed happen? If yes, it suggests that the CLI script portion of the WebMeet Me installation did not complete correctly - and the dial plan can not find the script 'CBMysql' to run.

Yes it does.... I just did a clean install and noticed the install errors...I am about to redo again,,, here are the errors during the re-install

i wonder...

I haven't done an update-source in quite some time, and I noticed this is

#make cbmysql
make
make install

and cc is a compiler, which uses source libraries?

Being 64 bit wouldn't change anything would it?

I am leaning towards the issue being the 64 includes/libs...


I noticed ..

Make sense?

Ok, I found the issue.

It was in the makefile.....even through it appears to be setup(I am NO expert with MakeFiles, or scripts) correctly, it was not.

I initially looked at the begining of the makefile and it looked good. When I looked at the output, I knew it was wrong. Looked at the rest of the makefile and found the issue...


Here is what I changed in the makefile...


the makefile is..

in the archive under cbmysql/Makefile

near the end... from this :

app_cbmysql.o: app_cbmysql.c
$(CC) -pipe -I/usr/include/mysql -L/usr/lib/mysql $(CFLAGS) -c -o app_cbmysql.o app_cbmysql.c

app_cbmysql.so: app_cbmysql.o
$(CC) -shared -Xlinker -x -o $@ $< -I/usr/include/mysql -L/usr/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient


to this :

app_cbmysql.o: app_cbmysql.c
$(CC) -pipe -I/usr/include/mysql -L/usr/lib64/mysql $(CFLAGS) -c -o app_cbmysql.o app_cbmysql.c

app_cbmysql.so: app_cbmysql.o
$(CC) -shared -Xlinker -x -o $@ $< -I/usr/include/mysql -L/usr/lib64/mysql -lmysqlclient


so, even though it appears the makefile is supposed to detect your environment, it's static... I am running 64 bit, so /usr/lib/mysql is not valid.

 

[rapidnet]

Anyone know where to change the phone numbers?

which are emailed to the participants of the conference? IE

---------------------------------------------------------
Dial In Info :
The conference call can be accessed by calling 800-858-4032.
Please contact Support Department at 800-123-4567 for assistance.


Ok, I found it...same directory...defines.php





I have looked and looked and can't find it...

I did find

/var/www/html/web-meetme/lib/email_body.php

Which is the text of the email...Just can't find where the variables are set.

 

[Cliffster]

Just trying to document my inherited system.

How do I figure out what version of MeetMe I have?

When I click on the FOP MeetMe Conference button, it comes up with
Web MeetMe Control
but what do I put in? The MeetMe Conference number? Meetme password? IP address? None do anything. My MeetMe conference seems to work though...

 

[Cliffster]

So I did that and it deleted that icon. And the point is that it was an old icon that is no longer revelant since someone upgraded MeetMe at some point in time, and all these functions are handled elsewhere...

 

[AlwaysONS]

No Emails

I have installed the new web meetme system and I have everything working except emailing the members of a conference it allows me to add the members but never emails the information about the conference! The PIAF I have this installed on a Lab Server and it does send out the voicemail emails with the attachment. Thanks in advance for the help I can not find anything in the posts on customizing the email or if you can?

 

[AlwaysONS]

Found

OK I did find the email body but still have no emails sent to the users!!!

 

[Speedy2k]

Does someone have tried to install the latest version of this webmeetme ???
The 4.0 version is out!
http://sourceforge.net/projects/web-meetme/

! I will try to install it to see what happens!!

Hi

Let us know how you get on with unixODBC ;-)
