Hi,
I think the subject is almost self-explanatory.
I need a plugin for bluejeans that works in a similar way that the vidyo one. But, before I jump trying to code anything myself, I would like to know if someone already did it, or at least started.
If anyone has done some work on this particular direction, any comment/suggestion/advice/… is more than welcome.
Thanks a lot in advance.
Cheers,
Jose
As far as I know nobody wrote any custom VC plugins so far.
I just started playing with it. So far, I just created a fake one:
I was able to compile OK, and it shows in the output of command “indico setup list_plugins”. Upgrading the db also worked fine: “indico db --all-plugins upgrade”.
I added it to the config file, and I can start the devel server w/o problems. What I don’t see yet is how to make it visible in the “Services” section in the left bar.
I am also getting some tracebacks when clicking here and there.
But all of that was mostly expected. It would have been a miracle if just a search & replace makes every thing works right away 
What I don’t see yet is how to make it visible in the “Services” section in the left bar.
If “videoconference” doesn’t show up there the plugin is either not loaded (but if it’s in the config file and you don’t get errors the plugin should be loaded), check if your plugin class is still using the VCPluginMixin - that’s what indico uses to see if a plugin provides a videoconference service.
Upgrading the db also worked fine: “indico db --all-plugins upgrade”
Depending on the APIs of your videoconference service you might not need the custom database table at all (but deleting it later is easy of course)
hi
yes, it still uses VCPluginMixin. Should I stop doing it? Or I need to customize it?
Then it should work… does the plugin show up in the admin area under “plugins”?
yes, it does. Now I see 2, one for Vidyo and one for Bluejeans.
then you should have “video conference” as an option under “services” in the event management area as well…
somehow now both plugins are colliding against each other. If I click on “videoconference” when creating an event, I get a traceback mentioning bluejeans. So I guess I missed some label or similar.

sounds like you still reference vidyo somewhere in your plugin, g. in the backref of the relationship in the VidyoExtension (or rather BluejeansExtension in your case) model.
There is one thing that concerns me. I always thought that we could make 2 videoconferencing plugins to work at the same time. That would require, for example, to have something like this in the left bar:
services:
videoconference_vidyo
videoconference_bluejeans
So when a person is creating an event, she can pick which VC system to add, event by event.
Is that possible? Or only one videoconference plugin will be active per INDICO instance, even though there are more than one loaded?
If more than one VC plugin is loaded we already show a selector when someone tries to create a VC room. But it’s both handled on the same page (“Video conference”) inside “Services”…
Do I need to delete some DB before trying with 2 videoconference plugins? Or some file or directory?
If I just copy & paste the entire directory for vidyo into a new one for bluejeans, and I make sure all strings vidyo|Vidyo are replaced by bluejeans|Bluejeans everywhere -including the name of files and directories- and I re-install, I would expect it to work, right?
However, I still get this traceback (*).
What may I be missing here?

Any comment on my last post? I am pretty sure I just missed something very basic, but I don’t see what it is 
You need to run indico db --plugin vc_bluejeans upgrade to create the table.
Hmm…
$ indico db --plugin vc_bluejeans upgrade
skipping plugin 'vc_bluejeans' (no migrations folder)
I guess you deleted it? You can generate it using this command:
indico db --plugin vc_bluejeans migrate -m "Create table"
But I’d wait to see if you actually need it an extra table…
Not really. At least, I don’t remember deleting anything.
$ indico db --plugin vc_bluejeans migrate -m “Create table”
skipping plugin ‘vc_bluejeans’ (no migrations folder)
Huh? Should I run those commands under any particular identity?
Sounds like you don’t have a migrations folder inside indico_vc_bluejeans. Maybe you didn’t copy the folder when copying the vidyo plugin?
OK. I will delete the entire plugin, and start over. Let’s see if that is the case, or something similar.
