[Freeswitch-users] How to provide dynamic directory information?

[Mike van Lammeren]

Hello!

I am now successfully pulling directory information from the database with a
Lua script.

I based my work on this section of the wiki:
http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Mod_lua#For_serving_configuration

There were a few odd things in the wiki that initially threw me for a loop,
and I have since improved the wiki entry linked above. I hope that it will
be easier for the next person!

There is definitely a learning curve to FreeSWITCH, but in the end,
FreeSWITCH always does the trick! Keep with it, and you will be rewarded!
