The "proper" way to link extensions from a database, LDAP, etc. would be via the switch interface, where you implement canexist, exists, matchmore, and exec for each channel. Note how the IAX and IAX2 switches work. The problem with this and MySQL is letting MySQL understand Asterisk-style pattern matching, although I suppose one could do something like: for 6000: select * from extens where exten='6000' or exten rlike '[6XN][0X][0X][0X]' Anyway if anyone knows an easy fix that would be cool.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Dynamically setting up/tearing down extensions
Yes, you can contact over the manager interface (you need to setup a user/pass in /etc/asterisk/manager.conf). I've sent a short perl script how to do that some time ago. Now notice that "extensions reload" only renews extensions without touching other modules. regards Martin On Mon, 21 Jul 2003, Steve Sobol wrote: > At 02:06 PM 7/21/2003 -0500, you wrote: > >One can use the retrieve_extensions_from_mysql.pl script and then issue a > >"extensions reload" command to asterisk.

One can use the retrieve_extensions_from_mysql.pl script and then issue a "extensions reload" command to asterisk.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Dynamically setting up/tearing down extensions
DynExtenDB is not even close to being the proper way to achieve dynamic extensions. Karl (klasstek) and myself (mainly Karl) has spent a few clock cycles figuring out how to make dynamic extensions happen, but we had no real motivation to finish the task. Find either one of us on IRC or search the mailing list archives. Jeremy McNamara Steven J.

[Asterisk-Users] Dynamically setting up/tearing down extensions
Hello, * newbie here, I'm designing a setup that is to eventually be used in a production virtual PBX/VoIP service. Customers need to be able to change their setups over the web - I want them to be able to do simple things like setting up call forwarding, as well as more intricate stuff that will require me to re-generate their dialplans. Administration of the service is to be web-based. I'm looking at DynExtenDB (and have played with it). I love that it reads the dialplans out of a MySQL database - that is a critical issue for me. But it has some issues. I have a test dialplan with one call to Playback() - just plays a wav file then exits. When DynExtenDB() is called, it adds one extra step that calls DynExtenDB_Free()... --If I let the wav file play to the end, DynExtenDB_Free() is called properly. If I hang up prematurely, it isn't, and it also isn't called if I set the dialplan to dial out (for example, to forward the call to my cell phone). --If DynExtenDB_Free() *is* called properly, and I then make another call, DynExtenDB() doesn't seem to be called again. --I'm not sure that setting up a dialplan for extension 'h' is a good idea. What if I call, and then someone else calls and I hang up in the middle of the call? I am ready and willing to make changes to the source to DynExtenDB.
