Opening the app from Moodle
freehussain opened this issue · comments
hello,
we need to open the app from moodle when click join , is there any way for this?
@lukaskirner Can you provide a description of the way we did it?
Sure! We actually just redirected one specific moodle URL to the app opener web page. The snippet below shows an NGINX configuration which will do this:
...
location /mod/bigbluebuttonbn/ {
proxy_pass http://moodle:8080;
proxy_hide_header Location;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
add_header Location "https://bennyboer.github.io/bbb_app/?target=$upstream_http_Location";
}
...
@lukaskirner Thanks! 😄
hello @lukaskirner
i mean deeplink to open this app instead of browser if it is already installed
The redirect web app at https://bennyboer.github.io/bbb_app is basically doing that already but won't force the user to use the app if they do not have it installed.
If you really want to open the app (which will fail, if the user does not have the app installed), you can always just use the bbb-app:// protocol instead of https:// like
bbb-app://my-bbb-instance.com/b/mee-tin-g42 (Greenlight example). This will also work for direct join links that are generated by the BBB Moodle plugin.
no there little deffernce on the link
greenlight link bbb-app://my-bbb-instance.com/b/mee-tin-g42
in the code it was generated from function "_postJoinForm", can we just fill it from deep link instead of post to green light
You can just use the link from the Moodle plugin with bbb-app instead of https. The app should be able to directly join the meeting
i just tried to do like this
bbb-app://url/bigbluebutton/api/join?fullName=name&join_via_html5=true&meetingID=meeting-id-unumber&password=PassW0rd&userID=gl-guest-ccf1336598395192e46aa860&checksum=a01cc2d26a1fee1b35f8b96c46185d82d3eaf6f3
not working
hello,
the above won't work, because the current code expect greenlight link
is there anyway to make the app get the link from url in this format
bbb-app://url/bigbluebutton/api/join?fullName=name&join_via_html5=true&meetingID=meeting-id-unumber&password=PassW0rd&userID=gl-guest-ccf1336598395192e46aa860&checksum=a01cc2d26a1fee1b35f8b96c46185d82d3eaf6f3
