Re: [asterisk-users] [Announce] Web-MeetMe V3.0.1 released
Hello Dan, I finally got some time to test the SVN branches and here are my comments: One thing that does not work for sure - I had some problems to terminate the running conference from within the web page - I just clicked the button and nothing happened. This is likely a manager.conf security issue, but it could be a problem in the php code. I just tested branches/3.0 and trunk against 1.4.1 and it worked as expected. If you set core verbose to 10 and click on 'End Now' the console should display a message like this: app_meetme.c:941 meetme_cmd: Cmdline: 41251|k|1 At this point this would be a topic better suited for the support forums on SF. I browsed the php sources trying to understand and from what I see, the End Now button does nothing else than kicking all attendees - not exactly what I would expect. I would expect this action to terminate the conference immediately so, it could be seen in the Past conferences list. Also, some javascript popup dialog confirming this action would be nice. The same is valid for the Extend button - it works, but from the user prospective, nothing happens - I would expect some dialog box like The conference # has been extended by 10 minutes. This is the only missing piece, I would say - thanks :-) Ondrej The information contained in this e-mail and in any attachments is confidential and is designated solely for the attention of the intended recipient(s).

I'm about to be offline for two weeks, and need to get updated releases of 2.X and 3.X out before I go. Your ideas are now on the ToDo list and I'll try to get them integrated and released by mid-June.

Re: [asterisk-users] [Announce] Web-MeetMe V3.0.1 released
Hello Dan, What version of Asterisk are you using? I've had recording working with SVN before 1.4, the 1.4 betas and currently 1.4.1. *** Update *** Recordings are tied to a moderator joining the conference at this time. I may need to change that based on feedback/requests to do so. *** Update *** Please include a note in the documentation for that (and maybe even note that in the web page for configuring conferences) !! It is really needed. Also please update the web page of each (past) conference with the link from where the recording could be downloaded I've never user the sql option for the user/participant. It was contributed by another user of the suite. Depending on the technology the caller used to call into the conference you should have their Caller-id number and possibly their Caller-id name. What additional Information would you like to see? Also - this is probably again a problem of the missing documentation, but let me clarify my problem in detail: If I create a conference, there is a button email participants. If I click that button, nothing happens (). How does the whole email procedure works? How does the web-meetme gather the email addresses of the participants? There is no way how to configure participants to the conference. My understanding was, that participants are informed about conference start/end/extended by this procedure. But since there is no way how the application could find their email addresses, I just do not know how it should work. From the sources I see that it uses SQL database users - but since I use AD, my users database is empty Contributions welcome. There is a new How-To up on SF that covers the installation on a step by step basis. I've tried to comment the configuration files to make it clear how each setting works. Some features have been contributed to the project, and I am sorry to say that beyond making sure they integrate cleanly, I have not taken enough time to document their setup and use. I guess I should ask for supporting documentation before merging the changes/features. I agree, because without any documentation is the feature de-facto unusable. I am happy to contribute to the project but at this stage it is (due to the bugs mentioned above) for me unfortunately still quite far from being promising. Lot of work has been done, but there are still some important pieces to be done. Thank you for the feedback. I am surprised almost daily how many people have found it useful. I did not really expect it to be as popular as it has become, and I am more than happy to try and address any problems. Glad to hear that :-) Ondrej Thanks, Dan ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users The information contained in this e-mail and in any attachments is confidential and is designated solely for the attention of the intended recipient(s).

Hello Dan, The links to download a recording are already on the past conference page IF the conference was recorded. Aha, I see, intelligent. I will give it a try. OK, I get it now. This is a side effect of offering too much flexibility. I use and prefer the client-side mailer, and my users simply get an new message draft in their email client that they can add the participants to. If you use the server-side mailer, then there is currently no way to add participants to the notice other than to email the details to yourself and forward them. I'd happily integrate an AD address book function, but it is Not a feature I or my users would use, so I cannot dedicate too much time to writing it myself. Ok, I understand that now as well - you click that button and thunderbird should popup with the mail composer open, right? Does not happen to me - most likely problem w/ my firefox settings. Now it all make a sense, sorry for being too pessimistic! One thing that does not work for sure - I had some problems to terminate the running conference from within the web page - I just clicked the button and nothing happened. Anyway - thanks a lot for the explanation - I will give it a try!

Anyway - thanks a lot for the explanation - I will give it a try! I just committed a simple set of mouse-over text popups to provide details about the options/settings in 'Add Conference' that might not be obvious to everyone. Since I know what the fields are for, I may have over/under thought which ones need more explanation, and the text I used to explain the fields may be poor. If you'd care to check svn branches/3.0, I'd love to know what needs more work. ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
