i really wish realtime would simply read new contexts from the db. i know that the dialplan is core to the system, but i think this core aspect should be ultimately configurable from a database using realtime. sigh.....

Todd:
Unfortunately, new contexts don't seem to show up in "real time". I
solved this in RAGUI by putting #exec statements in the extensions.cong
file that scan the extensions table and generate the proper contexts.
However, you still have to do a reload to get the contexts to be
available in Asterisk.
Here is an example:
in extensions.conf
#exec /opt/pointcall/asterisk/scripts/load_extensions.rb
I used Ruby, but it could be Perl , PHP or whatever
load_extensions.rb
#!/usr/local/bin/ruby
#
require 'mysql'
hostname = "host"
username = "user"
password = "pass"
database = "rtdb"
my = Mysql.new(hostname, username, password, database)
res = my.query("SELECT DISTINCT context FROM extensions ORDER by context")
#
res.each do |row|
context = row[0]
print "\n"
print '[' + context + "]\n"
print "Switch => Realtime/" + context + "\n"
end
Thanks,
Mike
