[asterisk-users] Hiding extensions from app_directory

[Jesse Scott]

Hi Everyone,

Sorry in advance if this not the correct place to ask this question,  
feel free to point me somewhere more appropriate to ask.

We have an Asterisk 1.2.7.1 server (about a year old version of  
Asterisk @ Home with FreePBX) running the phone system for our small  
office (roughly 15 extensions).

I'm trying to hide a couple of extensions from the app_directory  
generated company directory. I found some information about adding  
the "hidefromdir=yes" option to the user's entry in voicemail.conf,  
but that doesn't seem to have any effect. I'm a little unclear as to  
whether or not that option is something native to Asterisk or if it  
comes from one of the external applications. If it is built in, is my  
version too old to have this feature?

Am I totally on the wrong track and is there another way to  
accomplish this?


Thanks,

-Jesse
