Visual Phone Book in FreePBX

Hi there,

I've installed the last version of FOP2 (2.26) in my box (AsteriskNOW 3, 32-bit, with FreePBX) and all works fine but Visual Phone Book feature.

I don't have any link to it, but I can see browsing to fop2/phonebook.(html|php).

As you said in documentation, FreePBX users don't have to create any DB due to it's created by installation process. But I don't have it. Should I create and populate it according to http://www.fop2.com/documentation-confi ... lPhonebook, regardless I'm using FreePBX?

Thanks.

  • What problem do you have with the phonebook? It is not clear to me, you are focusing all in the DB, but you do not tell what exact issue are you having?

    Best regards,
  • When I log in, I don't have any link to phonebook and, as I commented, no DB created.
    Due to those above things are not documented this way, I suppose there's some error in my installation.
    So I don't know if I have to create manually the DB in order to solve it and let the link to phonebook appears.

    Anyway, with no new DB, can I use phonebook as usual?

    Hope it's better explained.
  • Do you have the "phonebook" permission assigned to your user? Without it, you won't see the phonebook icon in the top toolbar.

    The script does not create a database, but a table inside the "asterisk" database.

  • Hi,

    yay, my asterisk DB has some fop2% tables, so I can presume it's allright.

    Anyway, I've created a new user with all privileges (including phonebook one) and has no link to phonebook (I've taken a screenshot for you to explain it better: http://s23.postimg.org/y4sb14nqj/fop2.png).

    Finally, I suppose it's less important, but I prefer comment it in order can be relevant: contextual menu over an extension has no actions such call pickup or call transfer, but conferences have them.

    Regards.

    PS: I'm running lite version.
  • In order to see the toolbar you MUST log with a user that is listed in the extensions below. It has nothing to do with the phonebook or DB creation. So, log as an extension that you see, and action buttons will appear.

    Best regards,
  • Thank you very much. Now I can see whole toolbar.
