[asterisk-users] Questions on converting to ConfBridge
I'm looking at what would be involved in converting from MeetMe to ConfBridge and there seems to be a lot of missing administrative things, but I hope I'm just missing it. We all know about the missing realtime linkage. That's a major nuisance, but can be worked around. More serious is that the CLI command to display users in a ConfBridge don't show the caller ID information, so it becomes very hard to have web applications that show who's in a conference. There also doesn't seem to be a way to lock conferences or mute or kick out users from the dialplan. And the CLI command needs a channel, not a user index, making scripting via the dialplan that much harder. What am I missing?

The available AMI actions for ConfBridge can do listing/locking/muting/kicking etc as you want. As for dialplan applications to do the various things - what are you trying to achieve using them?

This menu allows you to control kicking, muting, etc of users within the conference bridge. No need to manipulate from the dialplan anymore. -- Leif Madsen http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/asterisk
