* Allow Searching for Rooms If a user has a lot of rooms, finding the correct one can be somewhat annoying and it would be great to be able to search for or filter the rooms in the room list. This patch adds a very simple search functionality for this. The search bar is hidden as long as a user has not more than six (two rows in desktop mode) rooms. If the number of rooms exceeds this limit, a search field is shown to quickly filter the list. * Updates Romm Filter Style This patch updates the room filtering according to the review requests. It switches to the same search input style that is used at places like the recording table. This mans, that this also works slightly different since the input now has a clear and a search button. The basic functionality is the same though. Finally, this switches from plain JavaScript to jQuery functions for filtering.
Greenlight
Greenlight is a simple front-end interface for your BigBlueButton server. At it's heart, Greenlight provides a minimalistic web-based application that allows users to:
- Signup/Login with Google, Office365, or through the application itself.
- Manage your account settings and user preferences.
- Create and manage your own personal rooms (BigBlueButton sessions).
- Invite others to your room using a simple URL.
- View recordings and share them with others.
Interested? Try Greenlight out on our demo server!
Greenlight is also completely configurable. This means you can turn on/off features to make Greenlight fit your specific use case. For more information on Greenlight and its features, see our documentation.
For a overview of how Greenlight works, checkout our Introduction to Greenlight Video:
Installation on a BigBlueButton Server
Greenlight is designed to work on a BigBlueButton 2.0 (or later) server.
For information on installing Greenlight, checkout our Installing Greenlight on a BigBlueButton Server documentation.
Source Code & Contributing
Greenlight is built using Ruby on Rails. Many developers already know Rails well, and we wanted to create both a full front-end to BigBlueButton but also a reference implementation of how to fully leverage the BigBlueButton API.
We invite you to build upon Greenlight and help make it better. See Contributing to BigBlueButton.
We invite your feedback, questions, and suggests about Greenlight too. Please post them to the developer mailing list.
