Traun,
I'd really love to be able to use mod_voicemail with WikiPBX. Are you currently working on this? If not, maybe I could get it working; do you already know what the specific issues are with it?
Thanks,
Marc
It seems you have no tags attached to pages. To attach a tag simply click on the tags button at the bottom of any page.

Hi Marc,
I suppose you were addressing Traun, but I'll jump in anyway.
Currently wikipbx has its own voicemail handling interface that doesn't relies on mod_voicemail. It's lacking some features of mod_voicemail. Nobody's working at replacing it with something based on mod_voicemail at the moment. So if you want to use mod_voicemail and you think you know django/freeswitch enough to get it to work, your contribution would be highly welcomed.
I think a good start would be to have a static config file for a couple of users, than making a django template out of it. I see that mod_voicemail uses two DB tables, so they should be described by django ORM in order to add them to the web interface.
Traun should be able to add some more details regarding possible issues with mod_voicemail since I haven't touched this part of wikipbx code before.
Regards, Stas.
Stas, thanks for the information, and Traun, sorry for getting your name wrong (I just fixed it).
I've played with the Wikipbx voicemail a bit, but I think supporting mod_voicemail would be a big improvement.
I know absolutely nothing about Django; but I'll read-up on it.
The best place to get started with Django would be their tutorial in 4 parts. But it certainly would take some time to learn the framework, don't know if you can afford that.
Thanks Stas. That link looks perfect for me.
Hey guys,
A while back, I tried looking into getting WikiPBX to work with mod_voicemail and gave up because there was some fairly big "missing links". It was related to the difference in multi-tenancy approach, the standard way vs the way that WikiPBX does it, as described here
If I remember correctly, freeswitch was making some directory requests to WikiPBX only passing in the domain and no sip profile, which WikiPBX did not know how to answer. Then things would go downhill from there.
I guess the best approach is just to take a fresh look. Try to make mod_voicemail work on a freeswitch installation that is running with WikiPBX, and then when things break, paste the output from the WikiPBX console and we will look at it and try to figure out how to get around the problems. If there is no output then you can add some logging statements or we can check in a change to svn to spit out more debug.
I'd really like to get WikiPBX working with mod_voicemail too. The built-in voicemail with WikiPBX is limited in that it cannot do MWI (message waiting indicator) notifications. So until that happens, it's not a workable option for many people.
HTH,
Traun
Thanks Traun. I'll find some time to start playing with this.
