Aastra 57i BLF/Presence?

[Stewart]

These Aastra 57i phones are really nice. They allow me to see the directory and choose an extension. Unfortunately, when I look at the extension it shows the user as available even when they are on the phone. It only changes if someone updates their phone Presence. I'd like it to also show if someone is on the phone.

Is there a way to add that function to the directory.php script? I'll start tinkering with it, but php isn't exactly my strength. Has this already been done? Or am I missing something?

Noone? Okay. Then how about this: Does anyone know where that status is notated for asterisk so I can pull it from there? I know I can check the status by setting a softkey as a type blf, but that doesn't give me any insight as to how the phone is performing the function and it only gives me a few buttons to configure for it.

I'm trying to figure out a solution that doesn't involve a sidecar on every phone.

Stewart,

Think I would start here --

OK. So far I've deduced this much:

1. This really all should happen in directory.php. I had an idea to make it a new Presence on the phone and modifying away.php, but I couldn't see a way to make it happen.

2. I add a third icon in the Icons List to represent the Phone Off Hook:
# Icons
if(Aastra_is_icons_supported())
{
$object->addIcon('1',Aastra_get_custom_icon('Available'));
$object->addIcon('2',Aastra_get_custom_icon('DND'));
$object->addIcon('3','IconhoneOffHook');
}


3. I add an extra check here:
if($AA_PRESENCE_STATE)
{
if(Aastra_is_icons_supported())
{
if(($v['status']==AA_PRESENCE_AVAILABLE) $icon='1';
else $icon='2';
}
else $name='['.$status_short[$v['status']].']'.$v['name'];
}


To something like this:


if($AA_PRESENCE_STATE)
{
if(Aastra_is_icons_supported())
{
if(($v['status']==AA_PRESENCE_AVAILABLE) and ($DEVSTATE($v)!=NOT_INUSE))
{
$icon='3';
elseif(($v['status']==AA_PRESENCE_AVAILABLE) and ($DEVSTATE($v)==NOT_INUSE))
{
$icon='1';
else $icon='2';
}
}
}
else $name='['.$status_short[$v['status']].']'.$v['name'];
}

Theoretically, that should do it. Unfortunately, I seem to have something wrong in the if statements. Any ideas? I'm not exactly sure how this is handling the arrays so using $v seems wrong.
