My first premonition was to simply create a C# service that would be called from my new content part driver to authorize to and create my meeting. The next step is to allow for creating a new meeting.

To recap, we have our Orchard module and our scaffolding built into the Orchard admin to support our new content type of Online Painting class. This will allow employees to easily browse and create new classes. I hope to be packaging up the module for sharing to the Orchard Gallery as soon as I can.Īs you can see above, there is a new item under Calendar called "Online Classes". Please read the Orchard documentation on Getting Started with Modules in order to understand the various components of an Orchard module.

This blog post details specifically how to interact with the API. Lastly, to start the meeting we would show the link to an administrator in the Orchard CMS backend so they could launch and start the meeting as needed. This would make sure only people with the email could join the online meeting. Security would be provided by the anonymous link that is sent to the users. We could also send a calendar invite as well in this email so users could add it to their calendars. Once they create this meeting, users would get a personal link in a confirmation email when they signed up that would allow them to access the online class when it was time. In starting this endeavor I reviewed the API and saw that the best way to integrate the functionality would be to allow for the creation of a new online meeting in the system corresponding to a new online class in Orchard CMS. One idea is to allow the ability for customers to sign up for online classes as well, so they can learn to paint from home! Customers can sign up for in-studio classes at The Paint Bar’s Boston and Newton, MA locations. The Paint Bar website is built on Orchard CMS. I hope it provides some information on the API and also the great extensibility of Orchard CMS.

I created this blog post in an effort to explore the API providing some new functionality to one of our clients, The Paint Bar. It is very important to understand, however, that this API is currently only in BETA and that has a forum for feature requests and enhancements if needed. This API allows for the scheduling and starting of meetings.

We did not want to write conference software from scratch so we took a look to see if had an application program interface (API) for hosting meetings, and indeed they do! If you go to the developer site for it has details about a Restful API that you can access by simply signing up for access. Recently we were asked to figure out a way to host online meetings dynamically for a client and allow online scheduling for these meetings. We like it a lot since it's simple and easy to use. Here at Cloud Construct we use for all of our online meetings, audio conferences, and screen sharing session with clients.
