[asterisk-users] Hiding extensions from app_directory

[Jesse Scott]

Ok, I commented out the entry from voicemail.conf and that person is  
gone from the directory.

However, uncommented with hidefromdir=yes in the options, they show up.

I just upgraded FreePBX to 2.3.0 and I couldn't find any additional  
options for hiding the user from the directory.

This user may not actually care about having a voicemail box, so I  
might just solve the problem that way. I'd love to figure out why the  
hidefromdir option doesn't work though.


Thanks,

-Jesse
