AsteriDex 4 is Ready for a Few Pioneers

[wardmundy]

If you would like to try AsteriDex 4 and provide a little feedback, here's a link to the documentation and the code. Enjoy!

Great! I'll make sure Ultimate CNAM works with it.

Several things I noticed:

• You mention TrixBox quite a bit in the article. Perhaps you want to change that to PiaF?
• The file I downloaded had $defaultExt not $INdefault as mentioned in the article
• The PBX homepage doesn't recognize the asteridex4 folder and make a button for it by default. This can be fixed with:

  sed -i 's|\./asteridex|\./asteridex4|' /var/www/html/index.php

Thanks. Fixed 'em all. Great proofreading!

And where I stand

Every thing was entered in per the directions. When I dial out, I hear Allison read the dialed extension, and then I get the flite voice, but it doesn't try to say the name. After a few seconds, I get a congestion tone.

So the first thing seems to be that it is not pulling the information from the database. Next, shouldn't it be using the OUT_X instead of trying to dial through all routes? And lastly, I use the NXXNXXXXXX for my outdials, so should I remove the 1 from $LD_Prefix since I actually add the 1 in my trunk definition... 1+NXXNXXXXXX

Be sure you place the following code snippet in [from-internal-custom] context of /etc/asterisk/extensions_custom.conf and reload Asterisk:

exten => _00.,1,SayDigits(${EXTEN:2},) ; extensions dialed with 00 prefix get looked up in AsteriDex
exten => _00.,2,EAGI(asteridex.agi|${EXTEN})
exten => _00.,3,GotoIf($["${DIAL:0:2}" = "00"]?97)
exten => _00.,4,NoOp(Number to Dial: ${DIAL})
exten => _00.,5,NoOp(Person to Dial: ${DUDE})
exten => _00.,6,Flite("Connecting to: ${DUDE}. One moment please.")
exten => _00.,7,Goto(outbound-allroutes,${DIAL},1)
exten => _00.,8,Hangup()
exten => _00.,97,Playback(num-not-in-db)
exten => _00.,98,Playback(goodbye)
exten => _00.,99,Hangup()

Then add Dial Code entries to your AsteriDex records, e.g. I added 282 for AirTran Airways. Then just dial 00282, and it works... at least for me. You didn't change your MySQL password, did you??
