<![CDATA[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:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJEDg_SxosY

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.

The latest FOP2 Manager allows the selection of individual tenants to enable the service, so you can select which tenants will have access to the FOP2 service. That way you can use the standard license with no extra costs to give service for up to 5 tenants. sbasan had much more than 5 tenants, but not an extended license, and the Tenant selection in the newer FOP2 Manager works only with the updated autoconfiguration scripts in more recent FOP2 versions. By using an older FOP2 version, the previous autoconfiguration scripts just printed out all tenants, not only the selected ones from the FOP2 Manager, and reached the 5 tenant limit making some tenants unavailable.

So, if you use an older FOP2 with a multi tenant system and plan to use the tenant selection via the FOP2 Manager, then go ahead and upgrade everything: fop2 and the fop2 manager. If you upgrade only the fop2 manager you have the change of having features that won't work with the server, like this tenant selection.

In this particular case, updating just autoconfig-users.sh in his installation with the latest version fixed the issue.

I'm sure he can give a few words for other future users with same symptoms.

You should avoid upgrading if that is the case. I am online if you want to chat.

Don't know what cause this but every upgrade I have some issues and/or changes need to be done in a code related to the upgrade.

There's no one online to take a look?

Anyways, a manager upgrade should not leave you with no service. Please try restarting the fop2 service from the command line.. did you try that?

service fop2 restart

Best regards,

Notice something else, when pressing submit changes and not pressing the reload I can login but see no buttons.
When press the reload after the submit changes I can't login.

As stated before, the fop server was upgraded from the management GUI alone.
Verify all configuration files and they as they were before.

Best regards,

Just upgraded to the new fop server via the management GUI.
Can't login any more.
fop2 log show all logins as FAILED LOGIN (non existant user).
/autoconfig-users.sh show correct users and passwords but using same credentials fail.

Any idea?

http://192.168.1.10/fop2/?exten=100&pass=9999&context=tenantA&dial=xxx

Involves extra steps that are not needed. Accepting the http command/connection... then opening a websocket connection between browser and fop2 server (that takes time/cpu/etc), and then use the existing AMI connection on the proxy to perform a command.

Much more simpler is to just use http with no websockets at all to get the command, and then forward it via AMI or similar interfaces. In fact, Asterisk 13 already has such API in place and its named ARI.

I might write a different software using just http with no fop2 server needed in order to bridge AMI with the web, for older asterisk versions... but I think FOP2 is not the place to do it.

If you want to use FOP2, you can just use the regular javascript protocol to do such things, if you enable debug on the fop2 server to level 12 you will clearly see the 'dialog' between the browser and the server, you can write your custom clients following that protocol if you want.

Best regards,

You already have great AMI proxy server that only asking for this option to be added.
The only main commands needed are Originate a call and get CDR.
Both are supported with a multi tenant and user authentication mechanism by your application.

What you see when typing FOP2 are some smart actions available via the Chrome plugin only, where you can dial a number or change presence by typing it in the URL bar.

How can I send commands by url?
When fop2 extension installed typing fop2 allow you to type commands, like dial xxx.

How can I do it with run commands from url?
like http://192.168.1.10/fop2/dial xxx
or
http://192.168.1.10/fop2/?exten=100&pass=9999&context=tenantA&dial=xxx

How can I use the fop2 api?

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

Jean-Luc

[sub]Actually it is possible but super complicated to setup: copy the server part into a different location than /usr/loca/fop2, for example /usr/local/fop2new, copy the html files to a different location that /var/www/html/fop2, for example /var/www/html/fop2new, change the listen port on /usr/local/fop2new/fop2.cfg to something different than 4445, change web_dir to point to the new web location /var/www/html/fop2new, copy the fop2.lic file from /usr/local/fop2 to /usr/local/fop2new, then start the fop2_server from that new location to launch the server: /usr/local/fop2/fop2new/fop2_server -d, and then browse the web files http://your.server/fop2new[/sub]

However 2.30 is no longer in beta and considered stable.

autoconfig-buttons.sh ligne 128 change exclude par fop2buttons.exclude
