Password set up?

Hi,

from the description of the plugin:

password: A password for the room. The first to enter the room sets that password and all other participants have to put it to enter.

So, if you set a password and you enter the room you actually activate that password for any other entering the room. This is how jitsi meet works.

Thanks,
Themis

Hi Themis,

Thanks. I have seen this post / response before, but do not quite understand it. Let me see if I can piece it together:

If I create a room, a password is created automatically and I don’t see it? Only the others entering the room see an auto-created password? Is this correct?

Or do I ‘set’ a password somehow / somewhere?

Sorry for not understanding…

So far… all I get in BuddyBoss is the tabs to create a room that automatically opens the Jitsi Meet on both sided (room creator & invited participant)…no passwords anywhere to be found or filled in.

Maybe this can help narrow down my issue:

There is form space for PASSWORD in the BuddyMeet settings shown in your screenshots at the bottom of the page describing your app.

This space in the form does not exist in my BuddyMeet settings in any way. Thus, it is hard to enter a meeting password when there is no form space for the password in the settings.

Any tips on just how to overcome this?

Remember, this is a basic out of the box install of the plugin. I go to Groups/Manage/Buddymeet/Buddymeet Settings, where I find no space for passord in the settings.

This is not an install on a private server. And I am not NOT using the shortcode.

Thanks in advance for some advice how to further root out this issue.

p.s. I’ll try a different browser…see if this helps anything show up.

Switched to Chrome…no change. Still not space in the form to add password. This is obviously why I am unable to ‘set’ a password. Fine…we know this…but what next? How to solve? What’s my next move?

I even added the plugin to a different domain to test, did a plugins check by deactivating all plugins except for Buddyboss and Buddymeet. No change.

My Buddymeet Settings page consists of the following form items:

ACTIVATE (domain)
ROOM (plus autogenerated room number)
TOOLBAR
SETTINGS
WIDTH
HEIGHT
BACKGROUND COLOUR
DEFAUL LANGUAGE

…and so on with some other small details…what is missing is: PASSWORD…which, on your first of a series of screenshots, shows PASSWORD between

I was editing my last post when it got away…should view:

This does not exist for me and I am wondering why?
Is it because I don’t have a dedicated server install and I am running on the default Jitsi Meet ?? Or is it an issue with the Buddymeet plugin and the BuddyBoss platform? Something else?

Hi,

sorry I did not notice that earlier to give a more precise answer. In the previous version of the plugin I added a filter to give anyoner the choice to display in the group settings only the fields they want. The filter in

$display_settings = apply_filters( ‘buddymeet_display_group_settings’, array_keys($defaults) );

However, accidentaly I did not include in the deafult settings the password. I will do it in the upcomming version. Meanwhile you can add that settings by adding into your theme the following line:

add_filter(‘buddymeet_display_group_settings’, ‘buddymeet_add_password_setting’, 10);

and then implementing the function buddymeet_add_password_setting like this:

function buddymeet_add_password_setting ($settings){
return array_push($settings, ‘password’);
}

Aha…so that answers some questions. Thanks for getting back. I appreciate you taking the time. I understand you get bombarded with posts/threads. I’ll test this out, get back & confirm.

Hi Themis,

Pardon my lack of developer / coding / copy paste skills here. I am not a developer…just a DIY guy navigating by intuition, instinct, and heuristics. I am not afraid to experiment (backing up first, of course). So far my experiments draw no positive result.

But just to draw some distinctions.

add_filter(‘buddymeet_display_group_settings’, ‘buddymeet_add_password_setting’, 10);

This should be added where?
In the theme’s functions.php or somewhere else, like the customise for CSS?

….and this:

function buddymeet_add_password_setting ($settings){
return array_push($settings, ‘password’);
}

I imagine this absolutely goes to functions.php in theme editor. but I don’t want to assume.

Please confirm/deny/guide when you have a moment.

Kind Regards,
Evan

Yes both go to functions.php

Hmmm… that was my first experiment, and I get no result from that, thus my coming back to you to ask. But will try again.

Tested again from scratch…3 times, clearing all caches afterward. Both into functions.php. Still get the same settings list, without PASSWORD box. I am sure there is a solution in here somewhere…just not sure where or how to get there.

Your comments welcome, when you have a moment.

Hi Themis,

As said I have added your suggested snippets to functions.php in the theme but get NO CHANGE. The Password box still does not show-up in the Buddymeet settings.

Somethings else I should consider? Or do you know why this doesn’t work? It is becoming a hinder/security stress.

Kind Regards,
Evan

Hi,

please update to the just released version (1.7.0).

Thanks,
Themis
