Rawman is a way to execute all the manager commands
over http through asterisk's http webserver. Keep in mind
that you have to uriencode everything as its just like an ajax
call, but all of that is already taken care of for you. astman.js
would be a great place to start, and there is a TON of sample
code in the GUI of where we call asterisk. We have to get config
files and the monitoring of channels is done through calling
astman. Usually what happens is you can call alot of functions
such as updating extensions in extensions.conf, that is all done
through building the configuration file through manager.
Usually you call a function from the html pages ( a function that
you can access from including astman.js ) and those functions
access the interface directly, and provide a callback for response
text from the manager.
My advice is to start messing around with the manager interface
(as there is TONS and TONS of stuff you can do, even with monitoring
events and storing them in a global array, not the best idea, but its
possible!!)
You can see the different ways to originate a call, hangup a call with
the given channel id, transfer calls....etc etc.
I did not say it would be easy, if you do not know javascript, it will
get hard fast. Most of the js is somewhat optimized, and pari is a
genius, but we are always open for questions. Any question I cannot
answer, he can.
So keep working hard, start submitting some sample code, and look
at the code that the gui is already made up. Find a page you like, and
start picking stuff out.....stay on the mailing list, I will keep responding
with as much help as I can. :]

Hey!
Its great to see some contributors for the GUI.
Use those lines for guidelines and fill out a disclaimer and we can
readily accept and filter code from you.
Great! We will begin checking the code before submitting it.
You can use the bug tracker (http://bugs.digium.com)
Or contact me and pari directly ([EMAIL PROTECTED] and
[EMAIL PROTECTED]) for major
patches and ideas.
Of course you can also use this mailing list to bounce ideas and
implementations.
The current idea is to expand to the functionality named in Ariel's
mail, we need to make the recording of a call an easy task, and doing
so through the GUI using what is already available in the "Active
Channels" submenu would work nicely.
Thank you!

P.S.
I can give you some tips on the API that is currently implemented and
how things are done.
Most of it is not documented, but there are a lot of live examples in
the code.
We would really appreciate some tips, as we cant figure a way to
extend the "action" command to include the actions we need.
We don't understand where is "rawman", and how do you call it to make
it execute the code in the AMI (Asterisk manager interface). Is rawman
extensible? The commands used by it, are related to the AMI?
Like in:
We need to monitor (as in record) a channel. From 'manager show
commands', I see there are two commands for this, the "monitor" and
"stopmonitor" commands, which should do what i need.
So the idea would be to implement an action=record which would call
the monitor AMI command, and allow a recordstop or something
equivalent to stop it.
Can you, or Pari, give us a tip on where to look to start implementing
this?
We read everything related to AJAM/AMI we could find, but there is not
much really useful to extend them, just to use what is already
available.
Regards and thanks in advance,
Leonardo

Subject: [asterisk-gui] Contributing to the GUI
Hello everyone,
We are working on several deployments of Asterisk (including the GUI)
and we
need to make a couple of changes, actually, there are a couple of
additions and some fixes for now.
Here are the features we are currently working on:
1) The "Active Channels" submenu.
a) We already have the "Transfer" and "Hangup" working, which were
broken. (If you want these lines of code, contact me, as I don't know
yet what are the coding contribution rules and ways)
b) We are working on a extension to this page, we want to be able to
record a channel (or more), in the way MixMonitor allows via CLI.
To accomplish this, we were thinking in using some of the AJAM/AMI
calls.
The idea is to implement an "action=record" function (just like
action=status,
action=command, etc.) or similar, but we need some details on how to
access the API and expand it. Is this possible? Is there
documentation on this?
Also, are there any requirements for code contribution?
Besides this:
http://asterisk.org/developers/coding-guidelines
http://asterisk.org/developers/bug-guidelines
http://asterisknow.org/developers/gui-guide
Right now, its a 3 people team, any of us might send an email to the
list regarding the same issues.
Just in case, here we are:
Ariel Curiale
Alexis Tcach
Leonardo A. Gallego
Regards from Argentina.
