Topic: 2.2.4-13 and 2.3.2-15

[SARK devs]

Couple of biggish releases this week.  Functionally identical but 2.2.4 is Zaptel and 2.3.2 is DAHDI. 

Fixed the autofax detection routines and it seems to test OK.
Added internal support for SARK Hot Desk...  btw if anyone would like to beta test hot desk then drop us a line at admin@aelintra.com and we'll ship you out the rpm.
Removed all of the pipe delimters from the generated extensions.conf code in preparation for Asterisk 1.6.

And..  You'll see a new panel called "Tool Tip Edit".  In these releases we've introduced "hover over" tool tip help.  It's initially only in Globals panel but you'll get a feel for how it works and what it does.  Just hover your mouse over any of the data headings in the main panel and you'll see the bubble help pop up.    It's also fully customizable.  You can use the Tool Tip Edit panel to change not only the help text but also all of the data headings as well.  So its not just a help system but also cheap and cheerful way to code non-english language support. 

Any changes you make will survive later updates. so you can do as you like.  Also, your changes are kept in a separate database so you can move them around between systems. We'll put up a section in the wiki shortly to show you exactly how it all fits together.

Ok, got the update going, but it seems that I've gained a few extensions in the operator panel...

Hi Guys & S

I noticed the file http://sarkpbx.com/sail/sail-2.2.4/perl-File-ReadBackwards-1.04-1.2.el4.rf.noarch.rpm and from the previous post by gippsweb, I felt I should find out about this file. 

Unfortunately my searching has come up blank.  Can someone point me in the right direction to find out about this file and what it does?

Thanks Gippswebb

Now that I know what the file does, what is the need for it with regards to SAIL?

[gippsweb]

That'd be one for Jeff to answer, but my guess would be either something to do with the tool tips or in prep for 1.6

The next out has completely "soft" screens... All phrases, messages and headings are driven from the database.  So yes, Sophie, you can have a Quebecois version of SARK... You'll have to add the phrases yourself but it shouldn't take more than a few hours (and because they go into their own database, once you've done it you can just keep it on your USB stick and copy it onto each new system you install).  Here is a shot of the "soft" extensions panel running on one of our test rigs....

All of the text you see on the screen can be freely changed (including the button text).

We use it to read backwards up the queuelog file.  It is part of the Perl-File suite of subroutines.  You can read about it on CPAN if you're interested.  We put the rpm up alongside the 2.2.4 and 2.3.2 rpms.

It also changed my Dahdi ext from 5000 to 4001

   

yup it will do that...  Just make sure you do a commit before you run the sniffer.  If you've already got it then just manually change the Dahdi extension number

Commit gets rid of the Ghost FOP image (which is I think, an old test PBX image from here).
