[WM: All Asterisk cares about is the time stamp. Nothing inside the .call file should need to be changed. A new version 4.0 to support Asterisk 1.4 and PBX in a Flash should be released shortly.]

I’ve had to do a re-install of aah2.7 & have installed the Reminders v3, however, although any reminders scheduled for today work, future ones always fail.

The call files for Future Reminders stay in /var/spool/asterisk/reminders and never get executed.

I have double checked the cron tab & all the permissions. Where can I look now?

Thanks for your efforts, btw.

[WM: You may need to go back to the earlier release. Just search for the old article.]

I was actually going to create something like this based on the TeleYapper. The only thing that would make it better would to be to give it a web interface to schedule reminders with existing recordings. Thank you for giving great examples to follow!

That way I can customize the caller name and number the way I want, and my outbound route takes care of overriding the callerID string for external calls.

That involved commenting lines 242 and 245. Then I can set the caller ID like this:

$callerid = ""Reminder" <*63>" ;

One suggestion I have is integration with SugarCRM. I know is HARD work, but this way we could use it to contact customers in a doctor’s office to remind them of appointments, or a roofer confirming an appointment over the phone, which the customer could confirm pressing one, something like that. All from inside SugarCRM. It’s just an opinion. Don’t kill me for that…..But it would be great.

[WM: Great suggestion. All it takes is time… lots of it. Mucking around in other folks’ code is P-A-I-N-F-U-L.]
