[Astweb-users] Update

[Jamie C. <ge...@ja...>]

Hey all,

What a weekend!  Fortunately the girlfriend dogged me so I 
had an entire day of coding! Yay!

Anywayz, the results are as follows.  I have the framework 
complete and 3 modules available.  The CDR module is the 
most usable but I also have a LOG module to display the 
log file(this is just a very simple sample).  The 
extension editor however, is a bit more complex but is 
currently well under way. At this point in time, parsing 
of the config file is 99% complete and only needs a little 
more work for the 'include' and 'exten' parameters(That => 
operator is annoying, hehe).

One of the main features of the project so far is the 
dynamicly stateful menu.  Located in a frame on the left 
side, this menu is configured from a config file so that 
to add a new module, all you do is add a line to the 
config file in the format of:

      Display Name,module_file.php

Then dump the file in the main directory and the rest is 
taken care of.  This will make it easy to add modules 
without having to edit any code.  There will also be a 
module to edit this at some point and even upload modules 
via the web interface.

I have come up with a simple development plan which 
basically comes to things being done in the following 
order:

      1: Complete Extension Editor Module
      2: Integrate Access Control
      3: Astweb Self Admin Module (SAM)
      4: Incorporate the Reload module from Tjardick
      5: Start on Other modules, (order determined by that 
which are most requested)
      6: Incorporate Config 'Wizards' courtesy of Leif.

Also, if anyone knows how to submit to CVS on sourceforge, 
email me cause I'm close to giving up. :(  CVS is such a 
pain but I guess i have to use it so I can get others 
helping out with the code. I won't pretend to know 
anything about CVS, I've never used it before.

Thanx all...

I am starting work on some of these wizards now.  I have created an IAX 
wizard which will allow you to put in some information and it spits out 
the relevant iax.conf and extensions.conf files for both asterisk 
boxes.... but I do find it somewhat lacking, and really only useful if 
you want to setup a pair of boxes.

What I am hoping to do is create a complete 0 to * wizard which will 
take you from nothing to everything.  So basically just install this 
little AstWeb thingy, hit the "Initial Wizard" or whatever we call it, 
answer some questions, and you've got a working Asterisk server which 
you can now customize and expand by using the other things in the AstWeb 
interface.

This is what I see AstWeb becoming anyways.  What I'd eventually like to 
see it become is a whole system for managing your Asterisk system.  You 
basically just install Asterisk from CVS or from the RPM or DEB (yah.. 
future considerations :)), then install the AstWeb interface, load it up 
in your browser and configure your Asterisk from there.  I could also 
see it becoming the everything module that, say for instance, if I have 
admin access, I can view logs, see MRTG type graphs showing load, users, 
what the interface capacity is (T1, ISDN etc..).  Maybe if I give an 
agent a login for the interface, then when that person logs in, they can 
see the people in queue, how long they have been there.  When a call 
comes to them, it picks up the CallerID and pulls up their information 
from a database record, such as what they have, when they have called, 
who the spoke with, and any notes the agent placed in their customer 
history.

These are just a few things that I think would be cool, and realize they 
are a bit off in the future, but hey :)  I'll just go back to seeing if 
I can get these wizards put together.

Thanks!

I have used CVS quite a lot (not specifically Sourcforge's but we run a 
CVS server of our own).. If you want I can try and get the repository 
setup and load the files into it..

Mail me off list with how you would like it setup and the files that 
need to be loaded into it..

Later..
