 The source code found heere  http://www.holgerschurig.de/destar.html 
 is in an unsupported TAR format.

It isn't. It's tarred and bzip2'd. If your tar can't do this, then you can 
resort to this:

bzip2 -d *.tar.bz2 | tar xv



But tar nowaday has the j option for bzip2 and the z option to gzip.

Beware: I might be biased!

 It edits extensions.conf after some customization.However unable to
 update sip.conf.

I guess you made yourself lot's of work.

However, there is already a PHP based web editor that works on this low 
level of editing *.conf directly.

I personally don't see the benefit of this. To edit Asterisk on the *.conf 
level, you have to know how that works, e.g. all the subleties of the 
extension logic, of the options for the Dial command and so on. So you 
need training (or self-training by reading the Wiki) to be able to edit 
at this level.

And if you know all of this, then you probably also know vi, emacs or 
joe. And then a web interface is suddenly too clumsy.

Your mileage may, of course, vary. :-)



 http://67.109.153.236/asterisk-stat/cdr.php
 Link to the CDR Tool.

Seems to be the one that I know already :-)

 The perl based Asterisk GUI Management system.
 Help is available online in same panel. This code is a bit
 cumbersome and I am not going to attempt developing this.
 PHP is much more preferrable.

This GUI has a non-describing structure. When I clicked Edit profile and 
did not enter a name, but pressed enter, I was presented with a web form. 
But I was not sure what I was editing. I felt like staying in limbo.

Also the web interface looks a little boring.



 Once the code reaches some useful level, I am going to post
 the source code back here, through a download link.

Which one is yours?

Would you mind looking at http://www.holgerschurig.de/destar.html and 
install it?  Sorry, I can't give you an link for an online presentation 
because I don't have access to some server where I can install it.

Please look critically at the program and give me back any feedback.

The program starts being usable, but generally I find every day some bugs 
and add every second day some features. My goal is to use this program in 
production in about one month's time.

It's not PHP, it's Python. But when you look at some cfg_*.py file, you 
see that it is actually easy to add or modify stuff, even for PHP, Perl 
etc programmers. Im using very Pythonic techniques only in other files 
:-)

This program is aimed to be a hand-holding program. Currently, you 
cannot edit *.conf files directly. Instead, you edit high level objects. 
E.g. a SIP phone, a CAPI line, test applications like echo etc. When you 
save, it will re-create all needed *.conf files for you.

The program can display a description of what you edit and even hints for 
the lines (althought I didn't used this). There's infrastructore to 
translated all displayed text into any language.

Later I'll add user stuff (like personal phone book, last N received 
calls, last N dialled calls), admin stuff (office phone book, CDR display 
analysis). Also I need more infrastructure, e.g. User Identities with 
logon. But most of the infrastructure is now there.

Yeah, help screens could be good. Or, when you enter the config, it can 
say

* You should add at least one phone.
* Having a telco line could be useful.

... and so on. So that a newbie knows what to do.


For help: in the configlegs, where the VarType(...) definitions are, you 
can add a hint, e.g. you change

   VarType(ext,
   title=_(Extension),
   optional=True)

into

   VarType(ext,
   title=_(Extension),
   hint=_(If you define an extension, then you can call the
   phone with this number. A phone without an extension can still
   be used as a target for direct dialin or calling groups.),
   optional=True)

This text will then show up to the right of the web form. Later, I'd like 
to make this a popup window.

Hi,
The version of astgui is 1.0.2.

I am using PHP version 4.3.4-4 installed on a debian 3.0 system (testing) from apt-get.

I do not have any GLOBAL_VARS set in my environment. What should it be? I am not very 
familiar with PHP.

I had installed this on an existing system but made sure to install correctly all of 
the required packages that were listed in the instructions. 
I also have a problem, I dont know if it is related or not where when I first open the 
admin page I cannot get in with my username of gs102 and password of test. I verified 
that the username and password were in the database in the phones table.

Thanks a lot!

Right now it really helps if you are a programmer or someone who is familiar
with the configuration of an Asterisk system to setup the astguiclient
suite. I will be adding more documentation in a few weeks and maybe even a
simple how-to or a how I installed a new Asterisk T1-internal-VOIP system
with astguiclient from scratch page.

Right now we're concentrating on filling some feature gaps that we have like
adding a callerID popup(which we will release a beta for by Friday night)
and a voicemail indicator. Also, we will be tweeking the features of the
VICIDIAL dialer app and creating a new receptionist module.

I'll post on the list when we have additions or changes to the project or
you can just look on the project website:

 Hello,
 
 I have made many changes/improvements/bug fixes to the Asterisk GUI
client
 I
 have written in Perl/TK and have released a third beta version on
 sourceforge:
 
 http://sourceforge.net/projects/astguiclient/
 
 Here are the screen shots of the client application running on Linux
and
 Windows:

 0.9 - Third public release - 2004-02-05
 The majority of the work in this release it to make it more stable and
fix
 some
 pretty bad bugs. We created the Asterisk Central Queue System to
address
 the
 
 problem with buffer-overflows in the manager interface of Asterisk
causing
 total
 system deadlocks. We also completed and touched-up many other features
 that
 we
 didn't finish in previous releases. Here is the list of changes:
 - Several bug fixes
 - Inclusion of listing for active SIP/Local channels and ability to
hang
 them up
 - Completely changed the method of conferencing to be more fluid
 - Added HELP popup screen
 - Added intrasystem calling funtionality
 - Updater changed to allow for SIP/Local channels
 - Recording for conferences is now able to record all audio in and out
 - Added ability to send DTMF tones within a conference
 - Changed alert window for updater being down timeout to 20 seconds
 - Added an option for using the new Asterisk Central Queue
System(ACQS)
 that
 
 reduces the risk of deadlocks that occur with buffer-overflows on
remote
 manager
 interface connections
 - Included new script to run at boot time and rotate the logs as well
as a
 keepalive script for the new ACQS
 - Changed non-AGI server-side scripts to allow for a single config
file
 - Detailed activity logging to text file option added
 - Activity logging added to all non-AGI server applications
 
 We have been using the same basic client for the last four months here
at
 my
 company and it is running well on over 60 machines.
 
 Let me know what you think of it, especially the new Asterisk Central
 Queue
 System that is included with it.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Asterisk GUI Client - New verison 0.9

2004-02-06 Thread mattf
You do have to add some extensions, copy some files and have some scripts
run on your Asterisk server, as well as have a MySQL database set up on a
machine somewhere before you can install the client on a machine. All of
that is explained in the documentation included with the package.

As for the Win32 client, it's fairly easy, just download ActivePerl from
Activestate.com and install it, then copy the libs folder and
AST_WINphoneAPP_0.9.pl to C:\AST_VICI then customize the
C:\AST_VICI\libs\AST_VICI_conf.pl file for your phone and you're ready to
go.

The package also installs in relatively the same way on Linux and in-fact
runs the exact same code as it does on Win32(For linux we recommend using
the ActivePerl RPM instead of default perl because of a perl/TK memory
leak).

It's not a simple one step setup like some other Asterisk GUI clients, but
this package was made to be very flexible and easy to change, in ACQS-mode
it relies entirely on the MySQL server to run having no contact with the
Asterisk server directly making it much harder for the average user to
inadvertantly crash the Asterisk server.

If you need any more detailed help setting it up let me know.

[Asterisk-Users] Asterisk GUI Client Updated

2003-12-09 Thread mattf
Hello,

I have made some changes/improvements/bug fixes to the Asterisk GUI client I
have written in Perl/TK and have released a second beta version on
sourceforge:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/astguiclient/

Here are the screen shots of the client application running on Linux and
Windows:

http://www.freedomphones.net/astguiclient_linux_0.8.gif

http://www.freedomphones.net/astguiclient_windows_0.8.gif


Here are some of the changes I've made:
- Several bug fixes
- New button for monitoring live extensions on Zap channels
- Changed the method that the live channels/phone were populated on the
listboxes of the client app.
- Changed the Asterisk/Manager commands to work correctly with new Asterisk
CVS versions requirements. 
- A new routine was enabled to allow for making sure that the updater is
running and bringing up a popup alert window on the client if the updater
has not updated in the last 6 seconds. (this also added a new MySQL table)
- Changed the updater to run every 450 milliseconds instead of every 333
milliseconds. 
- Updater changed to allow for ringing channels to appear in the
live_channels table. 

We have been using the same basic client for the last month and a half here
at my company and it is running well on over 60 machines.

I'm eager to hear what you all have to say about it, so send me those
comments.

I am still working on a user manual for the application, but the code works
and we have been using the same basic client for the last month here at my

I wonder if there is hope for those of us who use Postgres and not MySQL?

I am anxious to run it, but probably not going to switch backend DB 
servers in order to do so.  I suspect there will be others with the same 
attitude.

Thx.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Asterisk GUI Client Released!!!

2003-11-18 Thread mattf
Hello,

The reason I used MySQL is for simplicity on the client end, there is a perl
module Net::MySQL that requires no extra libraries to be installed on the
machine, unlike Postgres module, and the Database routines used by this
program are hardly database intensive. It's easy enough to install the
Windows MySQL server in about 5 minutes on a machine somewhere on your
network to test this out if you like. If you don't use the optional call
loggin part of the client then you will probably never have more than 200
records in the MySQL database at any given time.

You can even run this on the same machine you are running PostgreSQL if you
like, the processor usage of the MySQL database machine if it is the only
thing running with 60 astGUIclient computers connected and 2 Asterisk
servers updating line records is about 0.2%, and the load average stays at
0.00 and that is on a PII 450. It would hardly hurt the performance of any
machine you put it on. I use PostgreSQL on the backend of our company's
financial transactional system (1 million+ transactions per week) and I love
it(can't wait to see if 7.4 is really any faster:) ), but PGSQL is overkill
for the client app, and the overhead on the client machine
side(libraries/modules or server app middleware) needed to facilitate
PostgreSQL is too much.

Thanks,

MATT---

Hi Matt,

After a first look to the screen shoot, it sounds incredible... 
Good work ;P

Will it work without Zaptel interface ?

2003-11-18 Thread mattf
Hello,

Thanks :)

Sorry, it will not work out of the box without a zaptel device, you will
have to go in and tinker with the code a bit if you want it to work. Also,
some of the functions only work with Zap devices(call recording). Everything
I do with Asterisk is with SIP devices and T1s through Digium cards, so
haven't much use for a VOIP-only centric client app, but this code is
adaptable so you could definately change it to suit your needs. I'm know
there are several people out there that use asterisk without Zap devices so
there may be a strong enough desire for it. If anyone is interested in
modifying the code for non-Zap systems just let me know and I'll give you
all the help I can.

Hello,

If there's enough demand I can put a configuration variable into the
client/server apps to have it switchable from MySQL to PostgreSQL. That
should be fairly easy to do. I just need to know which Perl module for
postgreSQL is the most acceptable one to use.

While I am of the same attitude, you need to look at the source. Since
it is written in perl/tk, all that should have to be changed is the
connect command, and maybe a few queries if they strayed very far into
the mysqlisms. This is a case again of how OSS and self sufficient users
are a good match.

DBI is the most acceptable, IMO.  You can do practically any database out 
there and so long as you keep your SQL fairly generic, it'll work 
trivially.
