post the relevant information here:<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

went back and learned the dialplan apps, scripting, etc. For some guys
like me, it's easier to start with a working (if limited) system, and then
tinker with it, break it, etc.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face="Courier New" size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Courier New'">After breaking a few
systems I then went back and did a vanilla install to learn some more. I
ended up settling on a compromise: I load Trixbox and then make a bunch of
manual mods. I get the best of both worlds - a system that has all of
the prereqs loaded for me, plus a GUI for stuff that I don't want to do a cmd
line and also the power and flexibility of hand-editing my .conf files to get
exactly what I want out of the dialplan.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

get started, I can highly recommend STARTING with Trixbox, but definitely
don't STOP with Trixbox. After you play with a pre-installed, working
system, go out and get your hands dirty on a plain install. You'll be
better off for it in the long run. Having both GUI and cmd line
experience will make you a well-rounded Asterisk
user.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">My question to everyone is
this…..This is where I am at now. I have been using FreePBX for about a year,
after moving from A@H. I am starting to need some manual changes and modules.
My question is can anyone point me in a direction on how to learn how to
create these. I read the O’Riley book and thumbed though some of the others,
although I plan on reading them all the way through as time permits. I guess
my question is where do I add these things. I would still like to use FreePBX
because it just saves a ton of coding but I want to add my own things too. Do
I put them in the *_additional configs (which appear to be written over by
freePBX), the .conf files or the features.conf? Any web links with beginner
how to’s or more info on this would be appreciated as
well!<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
