Title: "Configuring URLs to be launched by the agent real-time page" with FreePBX
Post by: AndyS on February 21, 2009, 17:30:25

The section "Configuring URLs to be launched by the agent real-time page" describes a modification to the dial plan to support a URL launch feature for agents.  We use FreePBX, which manages that part of the dial plan.  Is there another way this can be achieved?

Regards, Andrew.

AFAIK this option is not handled by FreePBX, so the field has to be passed manually to the queue command.

Yes - that's my problem.  Because FreePBX doesn't handle this field, but it DOES manage part of the dial-plan that includes the Queue() statements, I can't manually edit the Queue() statements because they'll get overwritten the next time we do a FreePBX update.

Is there another way to associate the URL with the queue?

No I don't think so.

Hi,

Just to let you know, I have created a patch against FreePBX 2.6 which allows the setting of the URL parameter to queues form within FreePBX. I have submitted this to the FreePBX trac as a patch today (Ticket #4035 http://www.freepbx.org/trac/ticket/4035). No idea whether they will include it, but if anyone else here would like to see it then perhaps drop them a note to that effect.

With this patch you can use QM subqueues seemlessly with FreePBX. I set the optionalurl to ${FROM_DID} which creates subqueues for each incoming number pointwed at the queue.
