Web Master Details for GatherPlace Web Site Integration

This page is intended for web designers only.

Add a Simple Web Form to your web site so that customers can go there to join a session

  1. Simply add the following example form to your web site and send your Guests there to join a session
  2. You can use your own branding and send customers there to join a session (see a sample)

Integration of Permanent or Planned Sessions

  1. Under "Plan a Session" create a permanent session and use this access code for your permanent meeting room
  2. All links should start with http://www.gatherplace.net/join?p=XXXX (replace XXXX with your own access code generated in step 1; for our examples we will use access code 7620671)
  3. This table shows the different integration options. Simply append the parameters to the URL specified in step 2.

Use your own DNS name instead of www.gatherplace.net

  1. Using your own DNS provider, create a CNAME entry to point to www.gatherplace.net
  2. In this example live.serverguider.dk is pointing to www.gatherplace.net and allows this link to function http://wc.iboomerang.com/join?p=7620671&guest

Maximizing the browser for a better experience
In order to open the browser without the browser buttons at the top, you must follow these steps

  1. Add this to the header section of you browser
    <script type="text/javascript" language="javascript" src="http://www.gatherplace.net/integrate/scripts/join.js"></script>
  2. Add the Join Session link into your web page with this html: <a href="#" onClick="join(7620671,'&guest')">Join Session</a>
  3. Change the join function parameters to the correct Access Code and change the '&guest' to suit your needs as described above.

    NOTE: The above assumes that Javascript is enabled in the browser. Use this for guests that have JavaScript disabled (remember to change the Access Code).

Customize the branding for the guest session (Example Screen Shot)

  1. Copy and paste the example provided below and modify to your needs.
  2. The only requirement is that the browser title visible says "Powered by GatherWorks" in your own language.
