    <div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi Mehroz, all,<br>
      <br>
      Having used FusionPBX, I can tell you it's not closed source in
      any place. It's just a load of PHP code and none of it is
      obfuscated or encrypted.<br>
      <br>
      It actually contains an XML editor component so you can add and
      edit XML dialplans, configurations, in fact anything under your
      /etc/freeswitch directory without limits. Just make sure they
      don't clash with the database-generated ones (ie the ones you
      create in the simple "dialplan GUI", start with v_ as I remember)
      and you will be fine.<br>
      <br>
      It's very flexible IMHO, but if you want to stop users getting at
      those parts they don't need, either put them in the appropriate
      readymade access group, create your own, or indeed change the
      code. Personally if I was using it now, I'd create the more "icky"
      stuff in the XML editor and then let the simple stuff (ie
      extensions, callgroups, etc) for the GUI.<br>
      <br>
      It was my intro to FreeSWITCH and actually a good one, as it
      doesn't hide too much, teaches you the logic of dialplans, and
      better than that you can see the XML result of what you did in the
      "ID10T" part of it just by moving to a different tab.<br>
      <br>
      It's also well structured enough that if something goes wrong and
      you know anything (even basic) about programming you can figure
      out where it happened and fix it yourself or at least give a good
      bug report.<br>
      <br>
      Cheers<br>

              Can you expand upon this? I don't recall the dialplan
              being "hidden" and I'm sure the source code is open for
              all to see. It may be that the method of handling call
              routing in the UI is less flexible than some people might
              need but I don't consider that necessarily a bad thing. A
              GUI by definition restricts one's options. That's the
              entire point of a GUI - to abstract away all but the
              "essential" items. I haven't used Fusion in a while but
              last time I did it had a place to edit directly the XML
              files which means you can always make your own custom
              extensions if need be.<br clear="all">
