FOP2 2.30 Beta
I am about to release FOP 2.30 in beta. It has big improvements on the GUI, using Twitter Bootstrap 3.0 as a CSS Framework.
Here is a short video showcasing some of them:
This new version will not work with Internet Explorer less than version 10, but I think it is a small price to pay for the improvements on the user interface in general. As always I recommend to use Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox anyways.
It has some new plugins that are exclusive for this version (queue stats, change password), and improves existing plugins by adding some real time charts (busy call counter, queued calls counter).
It also has a nicer UI for the phonebook.
It can also be customized via CSS using themes. That means that you do not have to edit core .css files to change styles. I will work on adding at least one theme besides the default one.
If you are interested in trying the beta, let me know. As the changes are big, you might expect some glitches or problems.

To upgrade a running version, as always, download, extract and run "make".
As it is a beta, it is subject to changes, perhaps big. It might have bugs although I made my best efforts on making a smooth upgrade experience.
It was not tested with Internet Explorer less than version 10. Even with Internet Explorer 10 there are some visual things that I do not like much (scrollbars all over the place). I have not tried it with Windows 10 nor the new Edge browser. Main development is done using Google Chrome, and tests performed with Mozilla Firefox and Safari.
You can create your own themes by editing /var/www/html/fop2/css/custom_theme/theme.css , there is one included but file is renamed so it does not get loaded. This means that you should be able to create custom looks, and change logos from that file only. And it won't get overwritten on future upgrades.
There are new plugins that works exclusively with this version:
Queue Stats: it shows a small widget per queue with basic queue statistics as informed by Asterisk, showing SLA, Answered Calls, Abandoned Calls, and Hold Time. If you have the "resetstats" permission, (or "all"), you will have the option to RESET stats to zero from the widget.
Change Password: adds a menu for users to change their password. Works only if you use the FOP2 Manager for managing users.
Mini Browser: adds a widget with a web page embedded inside. If you configure automatic popups, they will be launched inside that widget, and not in a separate TAB. It is limited by browser security, some pages will NOT load as they do not like to exists inside an iframe.
There are some updated plugins with special features for the new 2.30 client:
Busy Counter: displays a 5 minute real time graph of line usage
Queued Calls Counter: displays a 5 minute real time graph of waiting calls
Any feedback is appreciated.
i have a problem with newly created queues. Asterisk 12 & FreePBX 12.0.74
Scenario
Upgraded to 2.3.0 beta
All works - Queues showing
Created new Queue in Freepbx.
Fop 2 Manager, reload fop & reload Asterisk, also tried service fop2 restart, shows in Fop2 Manager "Buttons" & is enabled.
New queue still does not show in fop2?
php -f /var/www/html/fop2/admin/update_conf.php 1
And then restart FOP2:
service fop2 restart
Let me know if that makes a difference or not.. Best regards,
This user had a template that had all Groups unticked. See attached.
I had to run the command
php -f /var/www/html/fop2/admin/update_conf.php 1
to make it appear.
it was the Beta i had installed, after installing the final it worked like a charm....
Likewise with the other problem i have had, making it work on bidden fruit products...

I just downloaded the latest version.
Logging as admin and press the "Tenants" I got "The requested URL /fop2/admin/pagebs.fop2contexts.php was not found on this server."
The file pagebs.fop2contexts.php is missing
/var/www/html/fop2/admin/functions.php
ligne 1715 et 1749 (suppression de encoded)
ligne 1757 commentaire (formencoded)
autoconfig-buttons.sh ligne 128 change exclude par fop2buttons.exclude
After works well.
Previous version (4th of November) some buttons were missing when we created many groups.
Thanks for this good product
Can you please elaborate if my problem that all buttons are not being displayed after the upgrade is the problem you mentioned for elastix MTE?
However 2.30 is no longer in beta and considered stable.
At the end of the upgrade, you should mention not only the config file of fop2 but the config file of fop2admin too.
I must each time change the DB Access in both.
Or for Elastix 3 MTE, you can use the default Elastix dB (elxpbx) and find the password of the db in /etc/elastix.conf
you have a line :
mysqlrootpwd=Password
(user root for mysql)
Thanks in advance
