This thing works GREAT! I can now have the servver send names or even nicknames I give my frends and family if the phoneset loses its memory. I set it to pull up originally from other databases, then if I want to add them to my asterisk phonebook, I do that with the name that I know them by or a nickname. I really like this programme.

The format returned by whitepages.com has been heavily modified since the module was last updated. I’m currently hacking together a replacement. A better plan would be to register the app with whitepages.com and use the API so that XML results can be returned and parsed.

What’s the best source for US mobile number lookups? (free preferably)

I found that paying attention to this paragraph was the resolution to about 4 days of head scratching over this ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL GODSEND of a module (yes I realize I’m yelling, that’s how happy I am to have this finally installed and working):

Once you’re satisfied with your lookup sources and the search order, the only remaining step is to designate CID Superfecta as the CallerID lookup source in your inbound routes. For each inbound route on which you want CallerID lookups performed, click Admin, Setup, Inbound Routes and choose the desired route from the column of routes on the right margin. Scroll to the CID Lookup Source section of the form and choose CID Superfecta from the dropdown box. Click Submit, Apply Config Changes, Continue to save your entry.

This article, along with the previous ODBC connectivity article got me to thinking about the requirements to connect pbx-in-a-flash to http://www.CiviCRM.org (which can run well within Drupal, and the sum is worth more than parts; I’m a developer, under-employed too btw if you care to leave a comment). But I didn’t have to think too long or hard, because google brought me to this CallerID CRM-Db related article: http://www.voiceingov.org/blog/?p=544

And for extra credit, the author added this about incoming call PC-screen pop-up displays: http://www.voiceingov.org/blog/?p=326

For easy dialling from within CiviCRM, just follow the instructions in this article: http://nerdvittles.com/?p=234

Just thought I’d pass along what I found. Thanks folks! I’m excited to get this working now.

(civicrm is very mature, and has enjoyed well-funded development, because the political parties use it a lot. Imagine how CiviCRM scales, just imagine. Try the demo on civicrm’s site too)

This thing is driving me nutso. Have mod_auth_mysql installed and enabled but still not working right. I get the password box but won't authenticate. If I change the mysql server to something fictional in .htaccess I get the same thing so tells me it isn't even making it to the database. This in on Ubuntu 7.10. HELLLP! [WM: Head to the forums.

Help? I tried to order through making a paypal donation: The Atomic Flash: 15-Minute Turnkey Asterisk Install. But received this message. The seller requires confirmed address, please add credit card below, but there was no form to input anything. In addition I am fairly sure my address is already confirmed. [WM: Try this link.]

Off topic again: I am thinking of using PIAF in our office but our DSL upspeed is not so great (250). I am considering T1 because the price is very close to cable, but I am not sure if I need a special card for T1 (I am also considering using an atom notebook, but I don’t have to). The T1 will come in and go to a router with cat 5 or cat 6 cables out, so I don’t see why I would need a special card, but there seems to be some indication I might.

Thanks for your help. I tried searching on the forum but it wouldn’t let me search T1, had to be longer than 2 letters search.

Off topic: Is the Atomic Flash: 15-Minute Turnkey Asterisk Install still available?

[WM: We have about a half dozen of the second wave left under the same donation offer as originally outlined.]

Since the asterisk phonebook is the first on the list, is there an easy way to get numbers into it without having to retype them? Say a new number calls me, it doesn’t find the number in the phonebook, but then does find it in the White Pages. It’d be convenient if maybe the reports page had a link to click to add to the phonebook.

Under PBIAF v1.2 enabling this on the inbound route causes all extensions to report caller is on the line & drop to voicemail – disabling returns to normal.

Any ideas why? Is the apache mod listed above something built-in to PBIAF v1.3+ that us laggerds are missing (even if we’ve done the updates from the command line)?

Thanks, slick little toy!

Looks great. Should be noted that you will need to have mod_auth_mysql installed in order for this to work though!
