| 13:50.04 | jsmith | Alric: Is it really you? Or just a ghost? |
| 13:50.09 | jsmith | Juggie: Pong |
| 13:50.21 | Alric | jsmith: Sometimes I feel like a shell of my former self... |
| 13:50.47 | jsmith | Alric: Look on the bright side... faxing is getting better all the time! |
| 13:50.57 | Alric | o rly? |
| 13:51.28 | Alric | I actually moved to a non-Asterisk project. Its kind of weird not even having a telephone on my desk after dealing with that stuff daily for years... |
| 13:51.53 | Alric | How has faxing improved though? This is tempting... |
| 14:06.13 | jsmith | Alric: T.38 handling re-written, Asterisk 1.6.x has native support for SpanDSP... plus Digium now sells a commercial fax stack for Asterisk |
| 14:18.02 | Alric | Interesting. |
| 14:24.32 | leifmadsen | jsmith: ping? |
| 14:25.39 | jsmith | leifmadsen: pong |
| 14:27.02 | leifmadsen | jsmith: do you have a couple mins to test dialing a SIP URI again? I wanna try and get that working |
| 14:27.14 | Alric | My memories of SIP and interoperability and faxing and all that are like painful scars :) |
| 14:27.27 | jsmith | leifmadsen: Aye... can do |
| 14:27.46 | leifmadsen | jsmith: sweet: sip:leif@leifmadsen.com |
| 14:28.43 | jsmith | leifmadsen: Rebooting my phone... one moment |
| 14:28.48 | leifmadsen | np |
| 14:28.51 | leifmadsen | just keep me posted! |
| 14:29.20 | leifmadsen | I hear you... :) |
| 14:29.38 | jsmith | I can't hear you, but it may be my (wonderful) firewall |
| 14:29.46 | leifmadsen | ya, I heard you, and the call got through |
| 14:29.47 | leifmadsen | sweet |
| 14:30.08 | leifmadsen | what was your Dial() line? |
| 14:30.14 | jsmith | Dial(SIP/leif@pbx.leifmadsen.com,20) |
| 14:30.22 | jsmith | Oh, wait... you wanted just leif@leifmadsen.com |
| 14:30.24 | jsmith | Hold please... |
| 14:30.26 | leifmadsen | yes please |
| 14:30.45 | leifmadsen | it should resolve the _sip._udp.leifmadsen.com correctly.... |
| 14:30.46 | leifmadsen | if it works :) |
| 14:31.17 | jsmith | [Jul 15 10:30:56] WARNING[11552]: chan_sip.c:4483 create_addr: No such host: leifmadsen.com |
| 14:31.24 | leifmadsen | hmmmmm |
| 14:31.39 | Alric | Are the faxing goodies in 1.6.0 or 1.6.1? |
| 14:31.46 | leifmadsen | wonder if Asterisk looks up the SIP URI stuff correctly... |
| 14:31.54 | leifmadsen | because leifmadsen.com resolves somewhere other than pbx.leifmadsen.com |
| 14:32.16 | jsmith | ;; ANSWER SECTION: |
| 14:32.16 | jsmith | _sip._UDP.leifmadsen.com. 86400INSRV1 10 5060 pbx.leifmadsen.com.leifmadsen.com. |
| 14:32.18 | leifmadsen | but if you do a dig for _sip._udp.leifmadsen.com you should see pbx.leifmadsen.com in the SRV record |
| 14:32.31 | jsmith | Nope... I think you're missing a period in your DNS record :-p |
| 14:32.33 | leifmadsen | hmmmm.... that looks funny |
| 14:32.40 | leifmadsen | I see it at the end... |
| 14:32.47 | leifmadsen | although why the .leifmadsen.com.leifmadsen.com. |
| 14:32.51 | leifmadsen | weird.... |
| 14:32.53 | jsmith | Exactly :-) |
| 14:32.56 | leifmadsen | let me try changing that |
| 14:33.03 | jsmith | That's usually a case of a missing period on in your BIND configs |
| 14:33.18 | jsmith | (Of course, you're not running your own BIND server, so all bets are off) |
| 14:33.45 | leifmadsen | ya :) |
| 14:33.47 | leifmadsen | editdns.net |
| 14:34.00 | leifmadsen | the entry looks the same as all my other entries for jabber and such... |
| 14:34.23 | leifmadsen | but that doesn't mean it doesn't act the same way when it is the same domain |
| 14:34.36 | leifmadsen | like, dig this: _xmpp-client._tcp.leifmadsen.com |
| 14:43.17 | jsmith | In editdns.net, do you have something like "pbx.leifmadsen.com" for your SRV record? |
| 14:43.27 | jsmith | If so, change it to "pbx.leifmadsen.com." |
| 14:43.52 | leifmadsen | ya, I just tried that |
| 14:44.03 | leifmadsen | 10 5060 pbx.leifmadsen.com. |
| 14:44.20 | leifmadsen | I'm waiting for DNS to populate now I guess |
| 16:18.02 | leifmadsen | jsmith: ping |
| 16:18.39 | leifmadsen | do you ever use AgentCallbackLogin() in any of your classes? I'm writing an article on converting from it to AddQueueMember() and trying to figure out why people think this is so hard |
| 16:18.58 | leifmadsen | I must be missing some functionality... unless people just don't want to write the dialplan to do the authentication, and that's why they think it's hard |
| 16:20.48 | jsmith | leifmadsen: No, that's actually not the hard part |
| 16:21.03 | jsmith | leifmadsen: Can I call you to explain? |
| 16:26.09 | leifmadsen | please! |
| 16:26.14 | leifmadsen | jsmith: just got off the phone, you can call now |
| 16:26.25 | Alric | me too ;) |
| 16:26.42 | leifmadsen | heh |
| 16:28.18 | Alric | btw |
| 16:28.24 | Alric | iPhone is so cool |
| 16:45.46 | leifmadsen | meh |
| 16:45.49 | leifmadsen | Nokia E71 ftw |
| 16:46.36 | Alric | does your Nokia have a soft phone on it? ;) |
| 16:46.42 | leifmadsen | of course it does |
| 16:46.44 | leifmadsen | built in |
| 16:46.56 | Alric | Linked to your PBX back home? |
| 16:50.23 | leifmadsen | duh |
| 16:50.34 | leifmadsen | goes over my wifi |
| 16:50.43 | leifmadsen | (I've also done it over my 3G connection) |
| 16:51.23 | Alric | cool |
| 16:52.13 | jsmith | Yeah, I also have the E71, and have managed to cause envy in many an iPhone user over the past six months |
| 16:52.30 | leifmadsen | its also smaller :) |
| 16:52.46 | leifmadsen | if only I could get video calls working over SIP with the phone... that'd be hawt |
| 16:53.19 | Alric | Can't say I like the interface I see so far for it. |
| 17:25.32 | leifmadsen | depends what you like and are used to |
| 17:25.32 | leifmadsen | I don't care about sliding screens and the such -- I just need functionality that is rock solid, and loads quickly. The E71 does that. |
| 17:48.54 | *** join/#asterisk-doc bhodder (n=blake@142.166.111.219) |
| 17:51.31 | bhodder | Hi. I'm attempting to use the page() application but allow the extensions set in the parameters also be able to dial the Page() extension without dialling themselves with the Page() extension, is this possible? |
| 17:56.33 | leifmadsen | bhodder: I'd see #asterisk for dialplan help -- this is for writing asterisk documentation (and anything pretty much not related to asterisk :)) |
| 17:56.52 | Alric | It sounds possible. |
| 17:57.03 | leifmadsen | bhodder: however, it sounds like it'll just be some simple dialplan checks to generate the string without your channel included |
| 17:57.39 | leifmadsen | bhodder: can you provide a pastebin of how you're doing it now? |
| 17:57.51 | bhodder | I can yes |
| 17:57.59 | leifmadsen | do you have something like a global variable with all the users to page? |
| 17:59.06 | leifmadsen | I think I'd create a loop that goes through that list, and checks for the channel that is currently doing the page, and remove it from the list, and write out the results to a channel variable that is used to perform the Page() |
| 17:59.20 | bhodder | No I was simply setting the parameters all within the Page(). Would it be it better that way |
| 17:59.58 | leifmadsen | well, you'll have to create some simple dialplan logic then. I'm writing up an example |
| 18:01.51 | bhodder | ok, thank you much apriciated |
| 18:02.12 | bhodder | did you want a pastebin of what I have? |
| 18:08.52 | leifmadsen | bhodder: almost done |
| 18:09.34 | leifmadsen | bhodder: http://pastebin.ca/1496050 |
| 18:09.48 | leifmadsen | bhodder: not tested, but should give you an idea of what my thought was |
| 18:09.59 | bhodder | Ok. Thank you. |
| 18:21.07 | leifmadsen | is there any sort of syntax highlighting method that work well on asterisk dialplan? |
| 18:21.15 | leifmadsen | (like php, javascript, bash, html, etc.... ? |
| 18:21.16 | leifmadsen | ) |
| 18:23.36 | bhodder | Sorry, I'm not to sure yet |
| 18:49.03 | Juggie | leifmadsen, you could prob write one for vi etc |
| 18:49.26 | leifmadsen | this is for wordpress |
| 19:05.44 | bhodder | Thanks for the help, but its still not quite working but I think what you had said is the right track |
| 19:06.50 | leifmadsen | bhodder: what part isn't working? I didn't test it, but wrote an article using it, so I'd like to make sure it is working :) |
| 19:07.01 | leifmadsen | if you can pastebin some of the console output I can probably find what I did wrong |
| 19:07.13 | bhodder | ok |
| 19:08.56 | bhodder | http://pastebin.ca/1496099 |
| 19:09.08 | bhodder | there is a pastbin of the output |
| 19:09.43 | leifmadsen | oh! oops :) |
| 19:09.49 | leifmadsen | I know what I did |
| 19:09.58 | bhodder | it looks like it wants to work it seems to run through the loop but doesnt actually page |
| 19:10.43 | leifmadsen | bhodder: I know why |
| 19:10.45 | leifmadsen | bhodder: user this line |
| 19:10.47 | leifmadsen | exten => start,n,Set(USERS_TO_PAGE=${IF($["${USERS_TO_PAGE}" = ""]?${WORKING_USER}:${USERS_TO_PAGE}&${WORKING_USER})}) |
| 19:11.06 | leifmadsen | it's the 8th line |
| 19:11.13 | leifmadsen | replace it with what I gave above |
| 19:11.24 | leifmadsen | then 'dialplan reload' from *CLI> |
| 19:12.13 | bhodder | Ok, thank you i'll test it and let you know how it goes. |
| 19:12.34 | leifmadsen | thanks |
| 19:13.15 | leifmadsen | bhodder: updated code here: http://leifmadsen.wordpress.com/2009/07/15/howto-page-all-users-other-than-current-channel/ |
| 19:13.38 | leifmadsen | note that you'll need to change the value of ALL_USERS_TO_PAGE if you didn't notice that |
| 19:13.43 | leifmadsen | put your list of users in that variable |
| 19:13.56 | leifmadsen | oh you did that, nevermind |
| 19:14.02 | bhodder | yes I did notice that |
| 19:14.29 | bhodder | and i just tested it and it works great |
| 19:14.55 | bhodder | I appriciate the help here. :) |
| 19:16.15 | leifmadsen | bhodder: np! glad it works |
| 19:16.29 | leifmadsen | feel free to make a comment on the blog that says it works for you! :) |
| 19:19.06 | bhodder | sure thing and thanks again |
| 19:25.58 | leifmadsen | np! |
| 19:26.06 | leifmadsen | I just can't resist a good dialplan challenge :) |
| 19:26.17 | bhodder | I cant blame you. |
| 19:27.00 | leifmadsen | heh |
| 19:27.12 | leifmadsen | ok, so now back to the original article I was working on |
| 19:28.02 | bhodder | That last line that was added, it checks the working channel and if its not the current channel it will add it to the users to page otherwise it will drop it from that list? |
| 19:28.37 | leifmadsen | correct |
| 19:28.57 | leifmadsen | if it is not the current channel, it adds it to the list, and if it is, it just skips adding it |
| 19:29.08 | bhodder | ok thank you. Just wanted to make sure i have a full grasp of it. |
| 19:29.11 | leifmadsen | so you can modify the first variable (ALL_USERS_TO_PAGE) and not modify anything else |
| 19:29.14 | leifmadsen | yep for sure |
| 19:29.19 | bhodder | Thank you |
| 19:29.31 | leifmadsen | if anything else doesn't make sense, just ask in a comment, and I'll reply there |
| 19:29.38 | leifmadsen | might help someone else |
| 19:30.04 | bhodder | great thank you and the more people that can be helped the better |
| 19:30.35 | leifmadsen | for sure |
| 19:30.49 | leifmadsen | I need to write a quick article on controlling the number of calls to an end point too... that seems to be asked a lot too |
| 19:31.04 | leifmadsen | but for now I will focus on this AgentCallbackLogin() article |
| 19:31.48 | bhodder | oh ok, great i'll keep an eye out for your articles as they'll be a great help |
| 19:34.11 | leifmadsen | yep, I'm trying to do about 1 a week |
| 19:34.13 | leifmadsen | that is my goal |
| 19:39.24 | bhodder | great much apriciative of your help |
