Asterisk PBX Integration Zimlet (new)

[uxbod]

I would imagine all ComCast do for their integration is store the CDR information in a database and then query that via a Zimlet. The voice messages could either be streamed from a path to a server, or even stored as blobs in the database.

So far I know Asterisk is able to store voice mail directly to IMAP, may this is another option to consider. I'll do some checks...

Hi all,

I want to try the Asterisk PBX Integration Zimlet. I've downloaded the ch_bnc_asterisk_0.62.zip file and when I install it on my server (RH EL 4U5 and ZCS NE 5.0.12), I've a failure with this messages :
zmzimletctl install ch_bnc_asterisk_0.62.zip
[] ERROR: Error
java.io.FileNotFoundException: zimlet description not found: ch_bnc_asterisk_0.62.xml
at com.zimbra.cs.zimlet.ZimletFile.initZimletDescript ion(ZimletFile.java:199)
at com.zimbra.cs.zimlet.ZimletFile.initialize(ZimletF ile.java:191)
at com.zimbra.cs.zimlet.ZimletFile.initialize(ZimletF ile.java:155)
at com.zimbra.cs.zimlet.ZimletFile.<init>(ZimletFile. java:136)
at com.zimbra.cs.zimlet.ZimletUtil.dispatch(ZimletUti l.java:1521)
at com.zimbra.cs.zimlet.ZimletUtil.main(ZimletUtil.ja va:1606)

Is anybody has an idea to resolv this problem ?

Thanks for help.

Hi zizo81
It seems that the name of the zip is used for finding the zimlet descriptor..? Sorry i didn't know that. I just renamed the zip before uploading to sf. So installation should work by simply renaming ch_bnc_asterisk_0.62.zip to ch_bnc_asterisk.zip

Ok. It's working.

Thank you very much.

I'm going to test this zimlet.

Awesome work! This is superb and the mods and I am sure Z! employees congratulate you on your work. Many thanks.

Does this work for us Switchvox users?

[uxbod]

It should do as it is the same core code

Hello, I am evaluating Third lane Pbx manager for asterisk and your asterisk zimlet and I think I have found an issue (small one):

Third lane is a Multi tenant config manager for Asterisk and works very well for large implementations but gives you a long "AstDialContext" this is a problem in the per user config in the end user zimlet preference pane, when I set my Context in the global file it looks like <property name="astDialContext">from-inside-VanillaIT</property> and everything works, but when trying this in Zimbra the context is too long to fit in the "Telephone Context" field I have only room for 16 characters and I need 21, is this possible to solve?

Yes. For now you can easily fix it by unpacking the zip an changing the Zimlet's XML Descriptor file ch_bnc_asterisk.xml :

<property type="string" name="userAstDialContext" minLength="1" maxLength="16" label="Telephone context (ask your PBX admin)" value="default-unused"/>

Change the maxLength to fit your needs. Repack the zip and install again.
I am going to change this to a longer value in future versions.

If this should be posted in any forums or newsgroups I'm sorry for this mail but I could not find any suitable

Yes please use the forum to contact me. Thanks!
