    Hi Guillaume,

    We’ve created an overview video to show how the installation works. Can you try following this video

    to setup the BigBlueButton WordPress plugin and let us know if you have any problems enabling a user to login.

    Hi Fred ??

    I have seen this video and that was very useful!
    As i said, everything is working great, no problem.
    But, my question is : how users can connect to the rooms created with this plugin ?

    Regards… Guillaume

    Hi Fred,

    I’m having problem in creating a room. I already installed this plugin successfully and configured properly but once I create a room this error appear:

    Fatal error: Call to undefined function curl_init() in C:\xampp\htdocs\wordpress\wp-content\plugins\bigbluebutton\php\bbb_api.php on line 29

    Hope you can help mate ??

    thanks a lot!

    Hi Jhezsie20

    You have just to enble the curl extension in the xampp.
    I use wamp, so i do:
    click on the wamp icone on the task bar, go to php extension, and enable the php_curl extension.

    Hi backnoog,

    Thanks, I’ve already did that and I was able to create and join room successfully.

    But when I setup my site in HTTPS, i’m encountering this error when creating and joining room:

    Fatal error: Uncaught exception ‘Exception’ with message ‘String could not be parsed as XML’ in C:\xampp\htdocs\wordpress\wp-content\plugins\bigbluebutton\php\bbb_api.php:36 Stack trace: #0 C:\xampp\htdocs\wordpress\wp-content\plugins\bigbluebutton\php\bbb_api.php(36): SimpleXMLElement->__construct(”) #1 C:\xampp\htdocs\wordpress\wp-content\plugins\bigbluebutton\php\bbb_api.php(213): bbb_wrap_simplexml_load_file(‘https://10.0.0.4…’) #2 C:\xampp\htdocs\wordpress\wp-content\plugins\bigbluebutton\bigbluebutton-plugin.php(678): BigBlueButton::getMeetingInfoArray(‘MANCOM[0]’, ‘mod’, ‘https://10.0.0.4…’, ‘6e9537101c78ece…’) #3 C:\xampp\htdocs\wordpress\wp-content\plugins\bigbluebutton\bigbluebutton-plugin.php(440): bbb_list_meetings() #4 [internal function]: bbb_general_options(”) #5 C:\xampp\htdocs\wordpress\wp-includes\plugin.php(395): call_user_func_array(‘bbb_general_opt…’, Array) #6 C:\xampp\htdocs\wordpress\wp-admin\admin.php(138): do_action(‘settings_page_b…’) #7 C:\xampp\htdocs\wordpress\wp-admin\options-gener in C:\xampp\htdocs\wordpress\wp-content\plugins\bigbluebutton\php\bbb_api.php on line 36

    But when I revert it back to HTTP setup, all is ok.

    Btw, I use XAMPP 1.7.3

    thanks,

    @backnoog: Have you installed the widget for the homepage? This creates the needed login form.

    Hi,

    I’ve just installed this plugin on a WP 3.0.1 install on a VPS. It installed okay, but I’m having problems with the security salt. When I create a meeting room from the BBB settings in WP, I get the following error:

    “A checksum error occured. Make sure you entered the correct salt.”

    My BBB server is a dedicated server running the latest version 0.71a.

    Any ideas?

    Hi all,

    When I’m creating or joining meeting room in WP, I’m encountering with this error:

    Fatal error: Uncaught exception ‘Exception’ with message ‘String could not be parsed as XML’ in /var/www/storm/data/www/site.com/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/bigbluebutton/php/bbb_api.php:42 Stack trace: #0 /var/www/storm/data/www/site.com/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/bigbluebutton/php/bbb_api.php(42): SimpleXMLElement->__construct(‘<!DOCTYPE HTML …’) #1 /var/www/storm/data/www/site.com/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/bigbluebutton/php/bbb_api.php(272): bbb_wrap_simplexml_load_file(‘https://victorys…&#8217;) #2 /var/www/storm/data/www/site.com/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/bigbluebutton/bigbluebutton-plugin.php(202): BigBlueButton::createMeetingArray(‘Aleksey’, ‘1[1303842242]’, ‘Welcome to 1’, ‘123’, ‘123’, ‘ce907f866d439d1…’, ‘https://site.com…&#8217;, ‘https://victorys…&#8217;) #3 [internal function]: bigbluebutton_sidebar(Array) #4 /var/www/storm/data/www/site.com/wordpress/wp-includes/widgets.php(891): call_user_func_array(‘bigbluebutton_s…’, Array) #5 /var/www/aleksey/data/www/vic in /var/www/storm/data/www/site.com/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/bigbluebutton/php/bbb_api.php on line 42

    Hi Storm,

    Thats an interesting problem.

    What version of the plugin do you have? (1.0.1 or 1.0.0)

    What is your website?

    What is the meeting name that you are trying to create (does it include any special characters)?

    When you create a meeting, do you see it present in the list of meetings?

    I have latest version of the plugin, 1.0.1.

    I have simple website on WordPress 3.1.2 without other plugins.

    Meeting names which I tried to create: 1, qwerty, testroom etc. It doesn’t include special characters.

    When I create a meeting, I don’t see list of meetings. Instead of this I see it:

    Fatal error: Uncaught exception ‘Exception’ with message ‘String could not be parsed as XML’ in /var/www/storm/data/www/site.com/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/bigbluebutton/php/bbb_api.php:42 Stack trace: #0 /var/www/storm/data/www/site.com/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/bigbluebutton/php/bbb_api.php(42): SimpleXMLElement->__construct(‘<!DOCTYPE HTML …’) #1 /var/www/storm/data/www/site.com/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/bigbluebutton/php/bbb_api.php(272): bbb_wrap_simplexml_load_file(‘https://victorys…&#8217;) #2 /var/www/storm/data/www/site.com/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/bigbluebutton/bigbluebutton-plugin.php(202): BigBlueButton::createMeetingArray(‘Aleksey’, ‘1[1303842242]’, ‘Welcome to 1’, ‘123’, ‘123’, ‘ce907f866d439d1…’, ‘https://site.com…&#8217;, ‘https://victorys…&#8217;) #3 [internal function]: bigbluebutton_sidebar(Array) #4 /var/www/storm/data/www/site.com/wordpress/wp-includes/widgets.php(891): call_user_func_array(‘bigbluebutton_s…’, Array) #5 /var/www/aleksey/data/www/vic in /var/www/storm/data/www/site.com/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/bigbluebutton/php/bbb_api.php on line 42

    Im sorry ??
    I entered wrong URL of BigBlueButton server… https://sitename/bigbluebutton instead of https://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/bigbluebutton
