This is my generic works-anywhere click-to-call script. It should work in
conjunction with any software that allows you to specify an external command
to call a number (we have tried it with Kontact and it works beautifully).
You just have to issue a wget command to fire a CGI script on the server.
Place this in your Asterisk server's /usr/lib/cgi-bin folder, call it
make_call.pl and chmod 755 make_call.pl:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use DBI;
my ($web, $input_buffer, $name, $value, %parameters);
my ($ip, $ext, $tel);
my $dbh = DBI-connect(DBI:mysql:database=phonestuff;host=localhost, root,
);
my $sth_get_ext = $dbh-prepare(SELECT ext FROM extensions WHERE pc_ip LIKE
?);
foreach (split//, $ENV{'QUERY_STRING'}) { # GET items
tr/+/ /;
($name,$value) = split /=/, $_;
$name =~ s/%(..)/pack'c', hex $1/eg;
$value =~ s/%(..)/pack'c', hex $1/eg;
$parameters{$name} = $value;
};
read STDIN, $input_buffer, $ENV{CONTENT_LENGTH}; # POST items
foreach (split//, $input_buffer) {
tr/+/ /;
($name,$value) = split /=/, $_;
$name =~ s/%(..)/pack 'c', hex $1/eg;
$value =~ s/%(..)/pack 'c', hex $1/eg;
$parameters{$name} = $value;
};
print Content-type: text/plain\n\n;
$tel = $parameters{tel} || ;
unless ($ext = $parameters{ext}) {
$sth_get_ext-execute($ENV{REMOTE_ADDR});
if ($sth_get_ext-rows) {
($ext) = $sth_get_ext-fetchrow_array;
};
$sth_get_ext-finish;
};
if ($ext) {
print Calling from '$ext' to '$tel'.\n;
open CALLFILE, /tmp/asterisk_$$.call;
print CALLFILE --STOP--;
Channel: SIP/$ext
Context: outgoing
extension: $tel
Priority: 1
CallerId: $ext
--STOP--
close CALLFILE;
system mv /tmp/asterisk_$$.call
/var/spool/asterisk/outgoing/${ext}_${tel}.call;
}
else {
print Go away, we don't know who you are. (try ext=something)\n;
};
$dbh-disconnect;
exit;

You also need a database `phonestuff` with a table `extensions` relating PC IP
addresses (in `pc_ip`) to extension numbers (in `ext`).
Now if your software works anything like Kontact, it will want you to specify
a command to place a call and can substitute placeholders in this command.
So, give this as the command:
wget -o /dev/null http://ip.of.asterisk.server/cgi-bin/make_call.pl?tel=%N
(Test it in an xterm, omitting the -o /dev/null, with something like your
mobile number or another extension.)

Re: [asterisk-users] Click-to-call software in a hosted environment
I usually custom code it. I've got a PHP interface set up on one of our asterisk boxes (locked down via IP range) that allows calls to be initiated via the script. I can interface with this via standard HTTP requests from anything I want. I've written solutions as Chrome/Firefox addons, local applications, even built them into web pages. Outlook uses VBA if I remember correctly, and I think Apple Mail is Objective C (handy language to learn - also used for iOS devices like iPhones and iPads).

Re: [asterisk-users] click to call
This capability is implanted in Vtiger CRM and some other packages. If you wanted to do it in a stand-alone fashion, it's a relatively simple task.

Re: [asterisk-users] click to call
On the subject of click to call - admittedly not necessarily what the OP was after - I had some marketing blurb from VMware about Zimbra 8 this morning. Apparently one of the new shiny features is integrated C2C (and other unified comms stuff). Has anyone had a chance to play with the SDK as yet? Would be quite fun to see if Asterisk could be integrated (visual voicemail and the like).

Dead simple! You need to install Apache on the Asterisk server if you haven't
already. Then use a CGI script like this;
### 8 ###
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
my ($web, $input_buffer, $name, $value, %parameters);
my ($ext, $tel);
foreach (split//, $ENV{'QUERY_STRING'}) { # GET items
tr/+/ /;
($name,$value) = split /=/, $_;
$name =~ s/%(..)/pack'c', hex $1/eg;
$value =~ s/%(..)/pack'c', hex $1/eg;
$parameters{$name} = $value;
};
read STDIN, $input_buffer, $ENV{CONTENT_LENGTH}; # POST items
foreach (split//, $input_buffer) {
tr/+/ /;
($name,$value) = split /=/, $_;
$name =~ s/%(..)/pack 'c', hex $1/eg;
$value =~ s/%(..)/pack 'c', hex $1/eg;
$parameters{$name} = $value;
};
print Content-type: text/plain\n\n;
$tel = $parameters{tel} || ;
$ext = $parameters{ext} || ;
if ($ext) {
print Calling from '$ext' to '$tel'.\n;
open CALLFILE, /tmp/asterisk_$$.call;
print CALLFILE --STOP--;
Channel: SIP/$ext
Context: outgoing
Extension: $tel
Priority: 1
CallerId: $ext
--STOP--
close CALLFILE;
system mv /tmp/asterisk_$$.call
/var/spool/asterisk/outgoing/${ext}_${tel}.call;
}
else {
print Go away, we don't know who you are. (try ext=something)\n;
};
exit;
### 8 ###
Then a GET request to /cgi-bin/place_call?tel=018118055ext=101 will place a
call from extension 101 to telephone number 018118055 in context outgoing.
With a little extra work, you can determine the correct value for $ext
automatically from the IP address of the requesting computer. You can find this
within the script using using
my $ip = $ENV{REMOTE_ADDR};
You will then need some sort of lookup table (hard-coded in the script or in
a database) of PC IPs and the nearest phone. (Obviously this won't work if
you are using DHCP to assign IP addresses to workstations.)
In Kontact, you can specify the external action for calling a number as
something like
/usr/bin/wget -O/dev/null http://192.168.32.214/cgi-
bin/place_call?tel=%next=403
assuming you are on extension 403 and the Asterisk server is 192.168.32.214.

Note the 192.168 address I used in my other example -- the Asterisk server here is on the LAN side of the router, and there is no firewall rule anywhere forwarding to its port 80. If for some reason you have to run Asterisk on a box facing the Internet, then make sure that any CGI script that can place outside calls is locked down in the Apache configuration so as *only* to be reachable from LAN addresses. -- AJS Answers come *after* questions. -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?

Re: [asterisk-users] click to call with php
If you don't like callfiles, another option is AMI. Check the sample code from http://tycoontalk.freelancer.com/php-forum/156207-click-to-call-using-php.html, do some changes as per your requirements. I would love to use callfiles as it gives more flexibility(as per my understanding) compared to AMI.

Solution providers will need to provide 'conventional' call back solutions alongside the pure voip style. In our 'Corraleta connect' hosted solution we do exactly that. There are some demographics where this isn't necessary, it is up to the solution provider to identify this requirement - not us as a technology provider.

Any other small softphone type solution around, something on the same lines of what you described, something that the user could download but could be preconfigured or passed parameters to so they user wont have to mess with settings. When looking for something else, I found that you can get a version of x-lite which can be dynamically re-configured at download time - Sipgate (www.sipgate.co.uk) use this. Once logged into their site, you download their version of x-lite (for free) and it just works on your PC, as they've included the account, IP address, etc. details as part of the download. Cost (from x-lite) was about the same ~£1000 for the setup fee and tools required (from memory). The down-side of that version of x-lite is that it's windows only (Although the generic x-lite is multi platform) I looked at idefisk (my soft-phone of choice), but I wasn't sure if that too could be dynamically configured at download time. (Again about the same cost to have your own custom skin on it, etc.) These both end up as installed programs though - not transient like a java based one. Reading through these threads, it's clear to me that there is confusion as to what click to call really means (for some people). I think the issue is simply that there is more than one way to do it! I think the OP in this thread wanted something along the lines of what I described, but the other (or classic way?) of click to call would involve the web visitor entering in their phone number on the web page, pushing click to call, then it initiating a call via (eg) a .call file being placed in the asterisk call spool directory, so their phone rings, they pick it up, then the agents phone rings... and they talk to each other, with the agent footing the bill as it's then a PSTN call. The Java method is a pure VoIP method, so might be more attractive in some cases... But I'd be glad to enter one of my 0909[1] numbers into a click-to-call box ;-) Gordon [1] Calls cost the sender £1.50 a minute, and the owner of the number can get a substantial chunk of that!___ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

This is inbuilt in Asterisk and can be found/implemented very easily by referring to the voip-info site for Dynamically generated call files. Click-to-Talk is different. It is the ability to using a browser to visit a web site, by clicking on a hyperlinked image or initiating the call in some other way your browser downloads either a java applet in the case of Mexuar, JiaxClient, Barbizan and a few other java solutions or an Active-X client in the case of Estara.

You shouldn't need a softphone to do Click to Call..

RE: [asterisk-users] click to call
That is a totally different concept than we have been discussing. You are talking about actual phones and the person clicking, then entering their phone number having to pick up a physical phone. This is as trivial as generating a .call file and dialplan magic. The concept we are discussing is clicking a link that connects the clicker to whatever via the computer using a headset or speakers and a mic. No phone or numbers involved, at least to the clicker.

RE: [asterisk-users] click to call
Joseph, This issue is people get confused; Click-to-Call - the ability to enter a number on a web page (or 2 numbers in the case of apps like JaJah) and have a centralized server deliver a two legged outbound call resulting in a 2 (or more) party conference call. This is inbuilt in Asterisk and can be found/implemented very easily by referring to the voip-info site for Dynamically generated call files. Click-to-Talk - is different. It is the ability to using a browser to visit a web site, by clicking on a hyperlinked image or initiating the call in some other way your browser downloads either a java applet in the case of Mexuar, JiaxClient, Barbizan and a few other java solutions or an Active-X client in the case of Estara. These applets are basically installing a 'softphone' onto the browser that is configured to dial a particular extension eg throught to sales or technical support. It's frustrating people confusing the terms but hopefully over time people will understand the differences.

If the analog FXS adapter had not been created and reduced to an affordable price, VOIP would still only be about as popular today as it was in 1995. -- Nick ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users Inbound (clean).

RE: [asterisk-users] click to call
On Sat, 2 Jun 2007, Dean Collins wrote: Hi Nick, Totally disagree with you. We the prevalence of skype, im and MP3's You'd be surprised how many users have headsets. Well, I'm probably one of the geekiest guys in this geographic area. I've been online since 1986, been on the internet since around 1991/92, and been running an ISP since 1995. I love electronic gadgets, computers, networking, telephony, etc. I write software. I build things. I've even spent hundreds of hours reading various ILEC and CLEC tarriff filings for fun. I'm about as geeky as they come, outside of silicon valley. Yet, I do NOT have a headset/mic thingy for using voip from a computer, and I've never used skype in my life. Never even been to their web site. Oh, and my very large MP3 collection is ripped from legally purchased CD's, not downloaded from the internet (unless you count purchased iTunes songs). Anyway, other than possibly a few local ISP-owners/techs I know personally in the area, I don't know of ANYONE who has a headset/mic setup for voip over the net, nor anyone who uses skype or has ever used skype and mentioned it to me. Now, I don't know alot of 14-24 yr olds, which may be the demographic that embraces those things... I mostly know people who are between 25 and 65. Yet every single person I know, from age 5 to age 95, has a phone or has access to a phone. Now maybe in the big cities... or out in silicon valley... the numbers are quite a bit higher in your favor. But in flyover country I'd say the number of people who have a computer with internet access and a headset/mic setup for voip is much less than 5%. Compared with 99.999% that have a phone or access to a phone. And even if they HAVE the device, most people feel far more comfortable talking on a phone than they do at a computer console. Again, VOIP wouldn't be very popular at all today if it weren't for the ability to use your regular phone, and/or phone-like devices (IP phones). I guess it depends on where you are and who you know as to what seems to be the average behavior of people. For me, it seems obvious. But maybe the people you know, in your area, are completely different than my situation. If your site markets to people outside your area, however, then it's important you know what the people around here are like, because I'd bet this is more average nationwide. (I could be wrong) What you are missing here is the additional functionality you get from using a browser delivered call then a pstn call. If you have the right business drivers allowing your users to reach you for free via IP Click-to-Talk is a huge plus over the older generation Click-to-Talk. Well obviously it's cheaper, since you don't have to pay for PSTN termination. And certainly, if your target market is people who have those devices, then it makes perfect sense. Or likewise, if you offer it as an additional option to the standard methods click-to-call methods, and phone/email like everyone else has. There's definitely a place for what you describe. But the typical non-geek consumer won't have a clue what to do with it. Like I said before, it just creates a barrier that doesn't need to be there. Everyone has a phone, so using a phone is going to allow you to reach the most potential customers. It's kind of like companies that build their web sites so that they only work with IE. They alienate a huge base of users that either refuse to use IE, can't use IE, or really don't want to use IE. I'm the latter. So I have to make a choice... do I want to visit that site bad enough to open up an IE window (and possibly move to a different computer terminal if I don't have IE on the one I'm using), risk the security problems of IE, and be generally inconvenienced? Or will I just go to a competitor's site, or find another source for the info/product? If you are selling a product or service, and make money from your site, you NEVER want to give the customer ANY reason to even THINK about going somewhere else. Especially if there are easily implementable ways to avoid it. -- Nick P.S. If this came across at all as being irritable, sorry, it wasn't meant that way.

Andrei, It is an activeX control and it no longer needs to have the security level changed.
