Hi Ahmed

I have the same problem on my customized staging system.

I guess it is (not) a greenlight problem because in the new private
browser window it works. Likely something with the cookies has
changed?

looked again on this

I created a new user in my test system in a private window. This user
can create rooms and don't fail with this 500err

[Ahmad Farhat]

Hey Mohamad, Reimer,

That error normally indicates that there was an issue with your upgrade. In v2.6, there was a large migration that was added that takes some time to run. If it gets interrupted, it could cause some problems. Try manually completing the migration by running: "docker exec -it greenlight-v2 bundle exec rails db:migrate" and then trying to update Greenlight again

[Mohammed Ali Ahmed]

Thanks Ahmed for your time.

I Will check it out and let you know. 

Best regards

Mohammed

Hi Micky,


could you post more information on what you are planning to do and what
the repo is used for?


cheers

Martin

Hi Martin -

Agaric and friends are customizing GreenLight for people to be able to
create conferences - ie; a set of related BBB rooms owned by a 'group
admin' or several admins. We created a repo as we could not find an
existing one for GreenLight customizations - anyone is welcome to join
and we will make sure our work is publicly available for others to join
in the fun. I am stepping away from Google and not using the account I
had for a while - will delete very soon when I can be pretty sure no one
is emailing me through my old gmail account. Is there an existing GitLab
or github issue queue for GreenLight modifications/customizations that
we may have missed?

We will be using this custom version of GreenLight on our own BBB
servers where we have a few other 'front-ends' set up - We have
Wordpress set up to use the WP BBB plugins that allows some minimal
customizations such as using the WP theme and adding a logo and text to
the room entry page.
http://communityBridge.com
We also have an instance of Canvas LMS running that integrates BBB in
their dashboard, so a teacher can choose to have a link to "Conference"
- this does not allow for any customizations for the end-user.

We are now working to make a more pleasant and informational instance of
GreenLight via some code wrangling/writing. The features we are planning
include:
1. Create a conference with multiple related rooms
2. Create Group owners to manage conference rooms
3. Event calendar to enter and list upcoming events/conferences or
webinars - the calendar will show all events or a listing of conference
level events.
4. Room owner can upload larger logo
5. Looking into adding statistics like how many rooms are in use, have
been used and how many chatters and possibly server usage stats
6. Change colors of room or conference rooms

Let me know if you would like access to the repo and I will send an
invite. I am not a developer and kinda dim at GitLab so not sure if
anyone can just sign on to the repo, but that would be excellent if it
works.

Well, our experiment failed and the developer did not have time to complete - sad...

[BBZone]

The property of appointing a room supervisor at the latest green light ?!
This option is not available to me. Is there a way to show it
