Also thinking about it a bit more, it would be very usefull if the
settings in followme.conf would allow for an entry that points to the
astdb, something like this:
number = family/key
number = family/key
This will allow to use the dialplan to update the number values in
followme.conf, like this:
exten = _*5X.,1,Set(DB(FM${EXTEN:2:1}/${CALLERIDNUM})=${EXTEN:3})
In which case users can call in *51 follwoed the number to follow,
and the DP will add that to FM1, for the second number they would
dial *52 and that would be added to FM2, and so on. In followme.conf
you would then have:
number = FM1/8143
number = FM2/8143
and so on.
And if an entry in the astdb is empty app_followme will ignore it.
Maybe I'm pushing it, but this feature (since it can all be done in
the dialplan without this app) might not have value if one can't use
it because s/he can't have her/his users call in to change the number
values in followme.conf. In which case it means not being able to use
this.
Denis,
There was some discussion around this feature in app_followme in the
IRC chat rooms and it was decided that for at least the 1.4 release of
app_followme, the group wanted to keep it simple and not have this
feature.
We may add this in the future, but I can tell you that I do plan to
realtime enable the application for the 1.6 cycle which probably
gives you more or less the same functionality.

BJ, I believe that asteiskdb is before realtime. It does not give the same functionality, since asterisk apps can only update asteriskdb thru the DP, and built in commands. There was some discussion around this feature in app_followme in the IRC chat rooms and it was decided that for at least the 1.4 release of app_followme, the group wanted to keep it simple and not have this feature.

Doesn't the new func_realtime allow you to read/write realtime values through DP functions?

Re: [asterisk-users] Re: [asterisk-dev] To bweschke regarding app FollowMe
Sorry then, I didn't know that, since I don't use realtime. I don't see any reason to introduce another point of failure for a setup that doesn't absolutely need realtime (like a cluster setup). I think my point is still valid, that asteriskdb comes before realtime. Please anybody outthere give some votes on this. Yes I am aware that this might sort of take this post off topic. But still I want to know what everybody esle thinks on this. On 9/22/06, BJ Weschke [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On 9/22/06, C F [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: BJ, I believe that asteiskdb is before realtime.
