Help with FreePBX Directory Script

bholler

I came across this forum from a link in Github..

However, I need a twist to it because of the following reasons;

I am using Fanvil IP Phones that require to be pointed to .xml file.
Client wants both multiple numbers on the phonebook directory - Extension and Cell Phone.

Here is the twist;

Script to be generate .xml file in /tftpboot Directory
xml file should contain extension and cell number
script should update xml file periodically when cronjob runs the bash script.

Can someone help me out with updated script. I dont mind paying for it.

PS: Documentation below shows favil is compatible with yealink syntax

The script as written is designed to be a "remote phone book" for Yealink phones.

Said remote phone phone book is a URL, not a file. If Fanvil does not use a URL, then the script as written will not work.

I do not have a Fanvil phone and I am not buying one to help a random person out.

If you want me to solve this for you, then provide me access to a phone.

This documentation helps nothing.

You are making assumptions that are likely not valid.

It works, as written, for a single phone number.

It does not understand the Yealink syntax that allows multiple numbers per contact.

If you want this, then you need to use the "internal" built in address book.

https://FQDN/custom/cmab.php?cgroup=User%20Manager%20Group

You have to edit the "User Manager" fields to populate that one.

Thank you for the analysis.

Whats next?

I would need documentation on the Fanvil format to modify the script to work with their XML fully to have multiple numbers under one contact.

My god that is unhelpful.. The section labeled for this was not accurate.. but I found it elsewhere in there.

This is the working format.

I'll look at the script later and make an update that will work for these devices.

You need to make sure you go into your FreePBX User Manager and populate the cell phone for all the users that need it.

Edit each user and click on User Details

Populate numbers as needed..

Fanvil address book script added to gthub.

SSH into your FreePBX instance, and become root if you are not.

sudo su -

Change into the directory you want the script. I drop things in a sub-directory named custom.

cd /var/www/html/custom

Download the file from github

wget -O cmfa.php https://github.com/sorvani/freepbx-helper-scripts/raw/master/ContactManager_to_Fanvil_AddressBook/cm_to_fv_ab.php

Open a browser and load the page with the User Manager Group parameter to see if it works.

https://pbx.domain.com/custom/cmfa.php?cgroup=User%20Manager%20Group

5. Log into your phone and choose Phonebook on the left menu.

6. Click on Cloud phonebook on the top menu.

7. Give it a name and then paste in the URL, specify the calling line and search line if desired.

8. Click apply, and then click on the the Phonebook name at the top of the page to see the phonebook in the web interface.
