[Freeswitch-users] mod_voicemail modifications

[Robert Hadley]

Hi Tim,

I wrote up a Jira bug for the email key always deleting voicemails.  Andrew
T. responded with a patch that is supposed to fix half of the problem such
that voicemails are not deleted when emailed.  However he didn't include
using the vm-keep-local-after-email setting in the user profile.  I haven't
had a chance to try this patch yet.

See http://jira.freeswitch.org/browse/MODAPP-403

I would be interested in any voicemail fixes being made too.

Regards,
Robert

Anybody out there know the inner workings of the voice mail module?

It looks like I may have to modify the source code to make it do what I
want.  It's so close, but I
can't quite get it to work.

I need to change it so that the voicemail_greeting_number channel variable
is used to set the
greeting path, but is NOT stored back in the sql database.

I would also like to change it so that choosing the option to e-mail the
message does not mark it as
deleted.  I imagine I will get many angry phone calls if I put it into
production this way.  The
prompt doesn't tell you that the message will be deleted if you e-mail it,
and not all of my users
have e-mail set up correctly.  I would prefer messages not to be deleted
unless delete is explicitly
pressed.

I'm pretty new to programming, but I would like to give it a try (unless
anyone else out there knows
a better way).

Can someone point me in the right direction?  I mostly want to know where
the sql gets updated when
the variable is set.  That wasn't obvious when I looked through the code.

In terms of the e-mail causing the deletion, it looks like the e-mail
routine is run in-line with
the delete routine, so I'm not sure if they can be separated easily.

Thanks for any help anyone can provide.
