style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">This post spurred off of the
comment of Michael Collins on the Asterisk with PABX thread. I am going to
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>

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face="Courier New" size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Courier New'">For those wondering how
to 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>
