[Asterisk-Users] PHP Web interface for Asterisk

[Steven P. Donegan]

You're not likely to ever hear anything negative from me - I'm usually a lurker, respond directly to the newbie with help when I can
, type. I have no tolerance for the newbies-must-die attitude of some lists - like OpenBSD for one :-)

I'll learn all the .conf files from a vi perspective, and contribute what I can to the GUI side. I intend to make * a part of my
core infrastructure if it can meet or exceed the reliability of the Altigen stuff (which has it's warts)

ok guys I have a PHP GUI that will be great for both of you.   direct
editor to the whole file intact OR click to go to an extension.  I will
post a link to it tomorrow morning... as soon as I can get it off my
production server  HEHE....   it can do CRC checks  on the *.cnf files
and it will allow you to edit and parse out for you all your config
entries with complex cnf files and default sample confs.  it does login
verification on the manager.conf as well as read/write features based on
the manager.conf...

I am getting it ready to give to Markster to include (if he wishes)
into the cvs tree.  I would accept any constructive/positive as well as
well thought out slightly negative comments and diffs... :)

Well, for *, I fall into the newbie category (not for telephony, VOIP,
Internet, *NIX, C, etc - those I've been doing since the
Internet had 3 nodes :-) and each technology mentioned was a newborn)

I believe making it easy for folks to enter the * world will do nothing
but sell Digium products, expand/improve *, etc. Keeping it
in a 'you have to be an expert hacker' world will not.

I personally would assist in a PHP (I assume) web GUI effort, and will
definitely contribute 'simple' but complete mini-examples of
conf files for * - that seems to be something lacking at present for a
newbie like myself. And - yes - I've read the manual from
end-to-end several times already :-)

My testbed is a dual Xeon RedHat box (shows as a 4 CPU setup to top),
tomorrow should provide a 4 FXS card and an FXO card and I
have a fully deployed H.323 VOIP environment (Altigen)
to play with. I'll snag a PRI card after I get things squared away - *
will be my PBX backup to the Altigen until such a time as it
proves itself superior...

I tend to agree with Steven on this...

If the web form makes it easier for the "newbies" why not, its just
another option....

It could even be expanded to be a dialplan for dunnies (woops, i meant
dummies:-) interface....

Considering all it is, is an interface to write out a .conf file....
