Hi Krishna,

The operation for joining a session is to return a join URL to the user, see

  http://docs.bigbluebutton.org/dev/api.html#join

We did a search through the source for the BigBlueButtonBN integration at

  https://github.com/blindsidenetworks/moodle-mod_bigbluebuttonbn

for the word 'join' and located this part of the code

  https://github.com/blindsidenetworks/moodle-mod_bigbluebuttonbn/blob/034c94c0c7997c83720224b363b5ea148a0ee6d8/yui/build/moodle-mod_bigbluebuttonbn-broker/moodle-mod_bigbluebuttonbn-broker.js#L41

Are you a developer?  Are you able to program in PHP?   Let us know if the above is enough to get you going.

Regards,... Fred

Hi Fred Sir,

I am a intermediate level php developer. I had requirement to use bigbluebutton in moodle mobile app. So i used in-app-browser plugin to open html5 client of bigbluebutton. Now the problem was if we go from moodle mobile app to in-app-browser moodle takes to login page, so i made an api which directly takes to join session inside moodle and put join session button auto click on page load so now when anyone clicks on bigbluebutton activity inside moodle mobile app it directly goes to bigbluebutton but now when he logs out of bigbluebutton session that window is closed automatically but one window is still open in browser so i closed that window using javascript (it became possible because i opened that window using window.open). so i achieved the goal but this is not a good solution. If there is a way to open bigbluebutton session in the same tab as in moodle it would be nice. I looked in the code you gave me sir but i was unable to stop it opening in new tab. If any solution please help.

Thanks and regard 

Krishna
