Re: FreePBX: using context other than the default context and the generation for the configuration

[SamyGo <govoiper@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hey,

If you want to have all the dialplan features for your extensions and still need to implement some outbound calling restrictions then you need to look for some modules in freePBX. i've used that module exactly for this purpose and it works..can't remember its name.

Just google it or lookup the latest modules available.

Regards,

Sammy

Hi All;

If I set a context other than the default context, then I do not see a generation for a configuration in the extensions_additional.conf for this context, but always the generation for the configuration is for the default  context (from-internal).

Normally, I have to put some Phones in a context and another Phones in a context, and give each context a privilages, but if I do this, then I have to write the configuration in my hand and it will not be autogeneration, correct?

In this case, the Phone will not have any of the features that I am going to add it in the GUI because these features will be in the default context which is not included (unless I add it manually) in the context that I will set it.

Also, if I set the context and I write manually the configuration for this context, I do not think that I will have CDR (because to have CDR, I have to use some configuration to log in the database and becoming able to see it in the CDR).

Again, if I used the default context, then it is good that all the stations to have the same context and same previlages .. so it is not a practical way.

So, what is the solution for this?

As I see the only benifit of the Freepbx (the GUI), is to generate the configuration that I can use it when I am writing the manual configuration (by including it and so on). In this case, I am afraid that things will become maybe more complex :) !! Any advise for this?

Regards
Bilal
