This set of plugins for Mac allow you to launch Webex online Collaboration sessions.

The Webex plugin for Adium allows you to simply type /webex in any chat, and instantly launch a WebEx collaboration session. The script then sends the WebEx URL to your other chat parties for them to click and join the session.

The Webex Dashboard Widget allows you to launch a Webex online Collaboration session right from your Dashboard.

The Application is simply a Click-to-instantly-launch-webex app. The widget is far nicer, but you never know what folks want...

 

Setup:

After running the installer app, open System Preferences and select the Launch Webex preference pane...

Once it runs, enter all your information. Specifically, you need to enter the information under the Webex Site and Webex User tabs.

Under Webex User, enter your username and password that you use to log into Webex.

Important notes about your Webex Password:

There are some special characters we know do not work well with our apps, that you should not use in your WebEx passwords: {^%}

On the other hand, we have tested the following special characters successfully: !@#$&-+[=

Under Webex Site, fill in your site’s full URL, for example:

https://mysite.webex.com/mysite/  including the trailing / character.

You do not need to fill anything in under the Webex Security Key unless support has instructed you to do so.

Using the Adium chat plugin:

While in a chat, type /webex to autmatically launch a new Webex session and IM the other parties your join URL.

Type /configwebex to configure the system (This runs LaunchWebex Settings)

Troubleshooting upgrades:

When installing a new version of the dashboard widget, sometimes dashboard seems to keep the old version, or a frankenstein version..

To force Dashboard to load a new version of a widget, open Terminal and type:

kill -hup `ps -ax | grep DashboardClient | grep -v grep | awk '{print $1}'`

It’s also a good idea to quit and restart Adium if you install a new version.

To uninstall:

kill `ps -ax | grep DashboardClient | grep -v grep | awk '{print $1}'`

kill `ps -ax | grep Adium | grep -v grep | awk '{print $1}'`

kill `ps -ax | grep System\ Preferences | grep -v grep | awk '{print $1}'`
