[asterisk-users] asterisk realtime and creating "new" contexts

By using the standard FreePBX you have all the work done, from that 
point you just have to enter the information on Mysql:
mysql> use asterisk;
Reading table information for completion of table and column names
You can turn off this feature to get a quicker startup with -A

Database changed
mysql> show tables;

The table that will handle your extensions will be SIP not extensions, 
Extensions will handle the dial plan for outbound dialing:
mysql> select * from sip where id=1418
     -> ;

| 1418 | allow       |               |     0 |
| 1418 | callerid    | device <1418> |     0 |

| 1418 | canreinvite | no            |     0 |

| 1418 | dial        | SIP/1418      |     0 |
| 1418 | disallow    |               |     0 |
| 1418 | dtmfmode    | rfc2833       |     0 |
| 1418 | host        | dynamic       |     0 |
| 1418 | mailbox     | 1418 at device   |     0 |
| 1418 | nat         | yes           |     0 |
| 1418 | pickupgroup |               |     0 |
| 1418 | port        | 5060          |     0 |
| 1418 | qualify     | yes           |     0 |
| 1418 | record_in   | Adhoc         |     0 |
| 1418 | record_out  | Adhoc         |     0 |
| 1418 | secret      | 12524674      |     0 |
| 1418 | type        | friend        |     0 |
+------+-------------+---------------+-------+
20 rows in set (0.00 sec)

This method is great because you can customize not only the information 
that you are writing to create the extensions but the information that 
you allow your customer to modify to manage features like follow me, 
forwarding, etc.

[asterisk-users] asterisk realtime and creating "new" contexts

The VMX-CONTEXT can be managed from database

mysql> select * from globals;
But you will have to specify the same on each extension under sip
once the extension under table sip is the one that calls the CONTEXT to 
route the call.

| PARKNOTIFY           | SIP/200             |
| RECORDEXTEN          | ""                  |
| RINGTIMER            | 15                  |
| DIRECTORY            | last                |
| AFTER_INCOMING       |                     |
| IN_OVERRIDE          | forcereghours       |
| REGTIME              | 7:55-17:05          |
| REGDAYS              | mon-fri             |
| DIRECTORY_OPTS       |                     |
| DIALOUTIDS           | 1/2/3/4/5/6/        |
| OUT_1                | ZAP/g0              |
| VM_PREFIX            | *                   |
| VM_OPTS              |                     |
| VM_GAIN              |                     |
| VM_DDTYPE            | u                   |
| TIMEFORMAT           | kM                  |
| TONEZONE             | us                  |
| ALLOW_SIP_ANON       | yes                 |
| VMX_CONTEXT          | from-internal

It will make it sort of complicated thought because it was build to be 
the generic element routing the calls out of the SIP Registrar, by 
having individual Context what you are trying to do is partition one 
Asterisk box to function as multiple offering invidual termination to 
each one of your users or complete management of a virtual slice of the 
box :)

Unfortunately, new contexts don't seem to show up in "real time".
I
solved this in RAGUI by putting #exec statements in the extensions.cong 
file that scan the extensions table and generate the proper contexts. 
However, you still have to do a reload to get the contexts to be 
available in Asterisk.

Here is an example:

in extensions.conf

#exec /opt/pointcall/asterisk/scripts/load_extensions.rb

I used Ruby, but it could be Perl , PHP or whatever

load_extensions.rb

#!/usr/local/bin/ruby
#

require 'mysql'

hostname = "host"
username = "user"
password = "pass"
database = "rtdb"

my = Mysql.new(hostname, username, password, database)

res = my.query("SELECT DISTINCT context FROM extensions ORDER by
context")
#
res.each do |row|
        context = row[0]
        print "\n"
        print '[' + context + "]\n"
        print "Switch => Realtime/" + context + "\n"
end


Thanks,

Mike
