Hi,
After migrating from Outlook to Zimbra NE I was missing my daily 'clic to call' partner that save me some times during work.
I had a look at the phone zimlet but
1- I did not wanted to use skype neither a sisco phone, I use Eyebeam from Counterpath (v.1.5)
2 -The french phone numbers where not properly recocgnised.
3- I wanted to keep things simple.
So I did some work on that phone zimlet in order to be able to do an easy 'Clic to call'.
It is quite simple : the zimlet use the Url Handler feature (it can be setup for various softphones, sip or iax like idefisk).
On windows environment (for other platform see firefox url handler addon):
1-Create a sip.reg with the following lines :
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\sip]
"EditFlags"=hex:02,00,00,00
@="URL:Sip Protocol"
"URL Protocol"=""
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\sip\shell]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\sip\shell\open]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\sip\shell\open\command]
@="\"C:\\Program Files\\CounterPath\\eyeBeam 1.5\\eyeBeam.exe\" -dial=\"%1\""
2- Double-clic on it to import in registry.
3- Deploy the new version of the zimlet :
com_zimbra_phone.zip
On this uk version, I left the original zimlet regexp, but for France I had to change the regexp in order to pattern the french dial plan (it is not perfect, but it works).
If you need to improve the dial plan to match your country dial plan, you can go to
Regular Expression Library, there are nice samples.
The change of the regexp must be done in com_zimbra_phone.xml.
Becarefull with cache.
For me it was a quick and easy setup and it works fine.
if any questions...
