Enter phone number in webpage / call number and play recording

Brad,

There are lots of ways to do this.

Visit http://nerdvittles.com and check out TeleYapper. If this doesn't fit your needs you can always tweak the code.

Look for a click 2 call script

Jeff

I believe I saw that on.. nerd vittles.

That you just go to a page on your trixbox followed by the number (using a dialing rule and also to one of your ext. #)...

if my memory don't fool me I think, it was something like callme.php ... but am not sure

4 Hours ahead of schedule!!!!

This is BETA .9 code allows you to goto a web page, enter in a phone number and click a button. Have tested, but please test yourself thoroughly.
This will initiate a call to an extension of your choice!

HOW IT WORKS:
You goto the web page link with the .php code.
Put in your phone number and click submit
PHP code runs a script in the /etc/asterisk directory and builds a .call file.
This file contains the number of the remote phone in a variable, and the local number which is currently hard coded.
Once the person answers their phone, this initiates the local call and the callers are bridged.

INSTALLATION
1- Goto /var/www/html/
2- make a directory called /clickcall
3- run this command
chown asterisk clickcall

4- create a file called index.html and put the following code in that file

[html]
[body]
[form action="clickcall_1.php" method="post"] Please enter your extension number
[input type="text" name="value1"]
[input type="submit" value="Call Number"]
[/form]
[/body]
[/html]

(change the above [ ] to < > respectively. )
(Guys, how do we post straight HTML code without the forum interpreting it? Makes no sense to me in a forum of this type to need that feature.)

5- save that file, and create a new file called " clickcall_1.php "
6- edit that file and put in the following:

<?php
$output = shell_exec("/etc/asterisk/./clickcall.sh ".$_POST["value1"]."");
echo "$output";
?>

7- save those changes and goto /etc/asterisk
8- create a new file in there called clickcall.sh
9- put in the following code in that file

#!/bin/bash
echo Channel: Local/$1@from-internal > /etc/asterisk/$1.call
echo MaxRetries: 0 >> /etc/asterisk/$1.call
echo RetryTime: 5 >> /etc/asterisk/$1.call
echo WaitTime: 20 >> /etc/asterisk/$1.call
echo Context: from-internal >> /etc/asterisk/$1.call
echo Extension: 4095 >> /etc/asterisk/$1.call
echo Priority: 1 >> /etc/asterisk/$1.call
chown asterisk:asterisk /etc/asterisk/$1.call
mv /etc/asterisk/$1.call /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing

10 - the line Extension 4095, you can change that to the local extension number you want to send the external caller to to play your file. If you want to specify an external trunk trigger, the "Channel" line, put in Local/9$1 (or whatever you want to use for outbound trunk lines)

11 - TRY IT! :)
goto http://TrixboxIP/clickcall/
enter in your phone number click on submit.

Let me know!

Eoo makes a good point.
I was sort of under the impression that this was an internal thing, but it should be noted that as it stand, there is very little restriction on what they can do with this..which is a fair bit!
If its for internal users, I could add in a level of protection, such as a password that would have to go with it? For example, if its a user on your system, they would have to enter in their voicemail password or something like that?

Let me know...

I was (still am) after something similar, dating back a while.

My idea is that the webpage would basically act like a softphone, where you log into your server and dial away!
