Understandable - I know there are "override" and "custom" files in freepbx that allow you to modify/change the dialplan without it over writing.

I disagree. I can see a use for visual tools, but would still want to be able to dive into the code underneath if I was struggling to get the GUI to achieve what I wanted.

    I would imagine you would use the Asterisk GUI or not, not both,
    thus eliminating the problem of the files being over written.

    I tried all day yesterday just to install Asterisk NOW with the
    Freepbx GUI on a Soekris 5501, and had no luck, so having it built
    on astlinux would be a great asset.

    My only concern with GUI Asterisk editing is how nicely it sits
    alongside manual editing of the files. Are any of the visual
    tools out there nont-violent to the underlying files they are
    editing, and do they happily read manual changes?

        If someone wants to point me in the direction of how to help,
        I would be more than happy to - although the fact that I'm
        asking probably means I'm a little out of my league.
        I was even willing to download the source and do a custom
        build, but I don't think that would help with this kind of
        project?

        this is great, but does make it harder than it could be.

        I have used the Asterisk GUI and it has its own set of
        issues.  There doesn't seem to be much investment in it by
        Digium either.

        Astlinux does need a GUI for Asterisk PBX configuration.  In
        my option the astlinux team should not try and write their
        own, but should pick an existing one and integrate it (as an
        optional package).

             Darryl,

            Of course, there's a wonderful alternative to using CLI for
            configuration changes:  I'm quite fond of the AstLinux
            web interface,
            which combines oodles of capability in a far friendlier
            setting than a
            command line.

            Admittedly, I wouldn't encourage non-technical clients
            to use it for
            dial-plan changes in a production environment, so I see
            your point.
            However, I thought it might be helpful to clarify this
            point for others
            who may come across this dialog while browsing through
            the archives.
