[Feature] Talk integration

[ChildLearningClub]

A check box with the option to auto generate a public chat room and link attached within the email and the same link in the calendar notes. The lobby can be set to on by default. Having this functionality would extend appointment calls to what might normally be a long distance call on the phone. With Talk being able to open in most browsers now, without the need to download anything, it would work really well in this use case.

This would be a really great feature!

Looks like this feature is getting fast-tracked thanks to @jpbraun and his public school (www.igs-lengede.de) The plan so far is:

• Automatically create a Talk room and attach the link to the email when an appointment is confirmed. Room name format {Attendee name} {date/time} Ex. Sergey Mosin 15/09/20 20:22
• Automatically update room name {date/time} if the appointment is rescheduled
• Delete the room if the appointment is deleted

Extended features as per https://github.com/SergeyMosin/Appointments/issues/79#issuecomment-687659269

• Customizable email text (Default will be: Chat/Call link: https://my_domain.com/call/kzu6e4uv)
• Optionally auto set "Lobby start time'' to the appointments start time
• Optional password protection

Anything missing ???

[jpbraun]

Sound's great!

Unfortunately I did not understand the solution, but I find the idea extremely good and helpful. How can you now create a new talk show with Appointments? new talk --> new room New talker should not see the previous entries in a room, therefore a new room.

Sergey needs a few days to implement the feature. Coding needs time. Don't hurry.

Version 1.7.4 Settings > Talk Integration

Lobby timer a.k.a. lobby start time a.k.a. lobby auto-disable is NOT set automatically yet, because a couple of tests failed most like due to daylight savings. If you are planing to use it, make sure to let your guests in manually.

P.S. FYI: New Nextcloud 19 centered email template is somewhat broken, should be fixed in the next update.

It would be good with an option to select calendar/Calendars for which online appointments or to select which times that should be added as online events. (Or both)

And templateable name for the room as an advanced feature.

Great Feature! Thank you very much Sergey. We just need one additional functionality. For the Parent's Day the parents have to have the choice between the Talk-Room and the real Classroom. A selection field would be very helpful (Face-To-Face-Meeting / Online-Meeting (Audio/Video) || Treffen vor Ort / Online-Meeting (Audio/Video) In addition, a short text field would be helpful (but not absolutely necessary).

@jpbraun I agree, definitely necessary, I’m not sure how easy it can be implemented, but giving the host the option when creating the calendar “open slots” to create per individual time slot the option to be available as either only online, only at the location (in person) or both, with the client then having the option on the front end as your picture shows to choose. (For quickly filling the available time slots, a default can be chosen to auto fill per the hosts selection) There could even be the option on the client end when picking their scheduled time to filter for face to face meetings only or online options which could grey out the time slots and days that don’t offer that.

@small1 Thanks for the contribution

This should be relatively easy when #87 is implemented. As a quick fix, a string like __no_talk__ for example, in an event's description can indicate an override and disable Talk integration for that particular appointment. Plus there is definitely going to be an override option for different pages in a multi-page setup.

templateable name for the room as an advanced feature.

What tokens are needed for the template? I can think of GuestName, DateTime, TimeZone, OrganizerName.

This should be easy, but would have to be a select drop-down. Override-able defaults would be: Label: Meeting Type Placeholder option text: Select meeting type NO_TALK option text: In-person meeting ADD_TALK option text: Online (audio/video)

When NO_TALK options is selected the "NO_TALK option text" will be added to the description.

This is related to #24

his should be easy, but would have to be a select drop-down. Override-able defaults would be: Label: Meeting Type Placeholder option text: Select meeting type NO_TALK option text: In-person meeting ADD_TALK option text: Online (audio/video)

I apologize @small1, I didn’t mean to leave you out of my last comment, being that it was just a rewording of your suggestion:). I think I read over what you had said really quick and then thought I have another great idea haha. Which was of course your idea. Thank you.

[SergeyMosin]

Version 1.7.6 Settings > Talk Integration Add "Meeting Type" form field option is now available.

NOTICE: Nextcloud 19 users MUST update 1.7.5 -> 1.7.6 (email template bug in v1.7.5)

[ChildLearningClub]

Wow! That was fast!

[jpbraun]

Wow! That was fast!

I agree!

[nolens]

@Bellusterra Please close this issue. The feature has been implemented.

[RoundAboutWEB]

This function will work fine, but why I can't edit "Customize email text:"?

[ChildLearningClub]

@nolens Thank you. @SergeyMosin great work!
