Hi Andrew,
In this situation I would suggest using three different URL API
commands. The reason for the three commands Vs. two is that the behavior
of the BU parameter can be different depending on what type of client
(java, activeX, TFS) is used. The BU parameter is launched when the
command completes. With the Java client the command completes as soon
as the meeting starts because it no longer relies on the browser - the
browser is freed up and the BU is initiated. The active X client has
the opposite affect and will launch the BU when a meeting finishes -
Active X will keep the browser window tied up and then will release it
at the end of the meeting, this is when the BU is initiated.
The BU should point to a page internal to your company. Parsing the
response depends on what languages you are using. In PHP it's can be
similar to this example
<?php
$status = $_GET['ST'];
$meetingKey =
$_GET['MK'];
//createURL
do stuff with MK
?>
Listed
below are the three suggested URL APIs with a detailed
description of each one.
1. Schedule Meeting-
https://sitename.webex.com/sitename/p.php?AT=LI&WID=enter_login&PW=enter_password&MU=/sitename/m.php?AT=SM%26MN=enter_meeting_name%26PW=enter_meeting_password%26BU=http://yourcorpsite.com/back_test.htm?fURL=extramParam&BU=http://yourcorpsite.com/back_test.htm&fURL=extramParam
This is the API login command. Since you must login before you can
schedule a meeting, we are providing a chained command to allow you to
do login and schedule a meeting all in one URL.:
p.php?AT=LI
This is the WebEx login parameter:
&WID=enter_login
This is the password parameter for the WebEx login:
&PW=enter_password
This is the MU parameter which is the URL that will load if the login is
successful. In this example the MU value is a chained Schedule Meeting
command. If you enter the correct info it will schedule a meeting based
on the date and time info you supplied. NOTE: You can only use the MU
parameter to chain a second API command with the Login command.
MU=/sitename/m.php?AT=SM%26MN=enter_meeting_name%26PW=enter_meeting_password%26BU=http://ats.corp.webex.com/tools/ts/back_test.htm?fURL=extramParam&BU=http://yourcorpsite.com/back_test.htm?fURL=extramParam
This is the BU or BackURL for the login command, which means this URL
will load if the login is not successful. The page specified below will
parse the returned info and notify you of success or provide an error
message.
&BU=http://yourcorpsite.com/back_test.htm?fURL=extramParam
Details about the Schedule Meeting command:
This is the Schedule Meeting command:
m.php?AT=SM
This is the meeting password parameter, this is the security information
the attendee will supply in order to enter the meeting. The %26 is NOT a
typo, multiple parameters in the MU have to be URL-Encoded and the %26
represents an &.:
%26PW=enter_meeting_password
This parameters is for the meeting name:
%26MN=enter_meeting_name
This is the BU for the Schedule Meeting command. This URL will be loaded
after the meeting if the command is successful or immediately if the
command is not successful. The page specified below will parse the
returned info and notify you of success or provide an error message.:
%26BU=http://yourcorpsite.com/back_test.htm?fURL=extramParam
Resutls:
This will return the meetingkey, appended to the BU parameter that will
be used in the next two commands:
http://yourcorpsite.com/back_test.htm?fURL=extramParam&siteurl=sitename&serviceType=MC&AT=SM&ST=SUCCESS&MK=123456789
2.Host Meeting:
https://sitename.webex.com/sitename/p.php?AT=LI&WID=enter_login&PW=enter_password&MU=/sitename/m.php?AT=HM%26MK=enter_meeting_number%26BU=http://yourcorpsite.com/back_test.htm?fURL=extramParam&BU=http://yourcorpsite.com/back_test.htm?fURL=extramParam
Login information is the same as above.
