<div dir="ltr">That is exactly what we are doing... but in many cases if you later go back to the GUI page that affects the area of the .conf file that you manualy edited, your changes are blown away. Case in point, use the file editor to add "context=xxxx" to a queue, and later go to the queue page and change something, anything, then the context= statement is erased.<br>
<br>A solution may be to have "advanced" turn on an edit box in each page of the GUI, so that rather than go into the file editor I could add custom featured in the Queue (or any other) page for that block of the .conf file(s). Then the GUI would have to know about the custom stuff I added.<br>

Umm, why not in the GUI turn the advanced options on and use the file editor to add custom dialplans etc?<br>

Subject: Re: [asterisk-gui] How to call custom Macros with Astersk GUI 2.0 ?<br>
<div><div></div><div class="Wj3C7c"><br>
So the End of the Story is: Gui 2.0 looks beautiful but you cannot<br>
really use it if you need at least 1 advanced feature of asterisk that<br>
is not reflected in the GUI ????<br>
<br>
No quick-hack for "custom dialplan editing" in plan ?<br>
<br>
So I have to keep going on with <a href="http://voiceone.it" target="_blank">voiceone.it</a> which is a lot more<br>
flexible (but has a hell of a lot of other disadvantages).<br>
<br>
