As mentioned, the blue.box devs are working on deployment rather than the PBX side. I'd figure they think they have a stable product in the PBX.. go ask at #2600hz.

Fusionpbx looks to be the only game in town.

FreePYBX.org was just released. Fusionpbx looks to be the only game in town. I was wrong, it is still being

developed. I just did a new install of it today, and allowed it to auto update. There are indeed some changes that I see from my install from about 4 months ago. So that is a positive thing, but its too bad that the feel is still lacking. I took a look at some code, and what I saw did not impress me. Display code mixed right in with the logic. I did not look for more than about 30 seconds, but IMO it is not ‘proper’ application design. I am a big proponent of MVC architecture, and what I saw of fusionpbx code does not look all that impressive. I give credit where credit is due. The platform is functioning to an extent, most things actually work. I do realize that developing something of that size requires tons of effort.

As you see.. the cross section of great programmer + motivation + time/availability + interest in a gui for FS that is opensource... is very very rare.

My ideal solution would be something driven by ExtJS and PHP on the backend. ExtJS provides the most advanced and rich javascript controls i have seen. Plus its sister product, sencha touch, would enable great admin functionality from a smartphone or tablet device. Here I go rambling on… I wish someone would develop an awesome GUI for freeswitch to help get it into the limelight where it deserves to be. If I had the time I would love to create a comprehensive and great looking GUI.

Make the time. Or resurrect wikipbx.org.. it's in python/django and has an impressive feature set. Or add what you want to blue.box - it's in php/kohana. Or work on freepybx.. also developed by one person. -Avi

Hey guys,****

I was wondering if anyone had any info on the current state of FS guis? It seems that most of the gui projects (blue.box, fusionpbx) have been mostly abandoned in terms of development. I would like something simple for end users to self-administer if needed. The problem I have with fusionpbx is that config files are overwritten by whatever is in the database. If you hand-edit a config file, fusion will not parse the file and load those settings into the interface. I realize that takes much more coding to do than using a database to simply write config files. But I feel that the freeswitch interface could be improved anyway. Unfortunately it seems that project has been abandoned. There have not been any releases since mid-2011. ****

I wanted to avoid putting myself out there but there is another gui project that I have avoided releasing as open source on account of the fact that I am having issues finding developers to help. It is written in C#, built to run on mono or .net. Runs on windows, debian, slitaz and centos can be designed to run perfectly on others. It contains ability to configure full server stuff as well as controls the call flow of freeswitch through the sockets library. It is designed to be web 2.0 compliant as its all done through javascript and a single web page using ajax calls with json encoding for efficiency. There is still some things needing to be done such as developing a billling module for it, ensuring that mobile browsers can operate it successfully and adding new functionality through modules as well as completing one or two modules. The few people who I have had take a look and try it out have been impressed and slowly, as I have time i have been cleaning up code, making it more efficient and trying to improve functionality. It takes time though when its one person and they are not getting paid to do it, its more of a hobby. On Thu, Mar 8, 2012 at 8:18 AM, Patrick Lists < freeswitch-list@puzzled.xs4all.nl> wrote:

I you like blue.box more than fusionpbx but feel things are missing in blue.box then why not talk to the 2600hz developers and hire them to add that functionality?

As referred to earlier in this thread, we made the CudaTEL PBX at Barracuda Networks which is an appliance designed to do everything described above and that effort could not be done without a commercial incentive to develop it and a team of dedicated employees.

Everything you ever wanted is typically hard to come by when dealing with Free GUIs so the alternative is to invest in one of them and get them to focus on the functionality you seek.

As with a number of other people, I'm writing one to suit my needs too. Mine is being written in Python/Django and is aimed at being multi tenant in a cloud setting or single user on a manged device setting sharing as much of the code from both scenarios as possible. I'm working on using a lot of jQuery in the user interface and am currently using MySQL as the data store although that is changable. The Django application also produces files for XML CURL, and is aimed at only basic functionality, so only adding users, extensions, groups, dids, conferences and queues will be implemented.

I'm currently developing a multi-tenant scalable FS GUI based on the PHP Framework YII and intralanman's PHP CURL library. The main objective is to use XML_CURL to configure as much as possible. I plan to implement a "snapshot" feature which will write all the XML to files and load it into FS incase XML_CURL fails. Also, it is designed around a "routing" table so FS does not load the entire dialplan from XML_CURL each time there is a call transaction. Instead the dialed number or call will match to a route in the database and only give FS the XML it needs (which usually ends up being only 5-10 lines of XML). I plan to put it on GITHUB when I get further along.

We would be interested to put development time towards a project that allows for multi-tenancy, billing, and all in one Web GUI. Currently testing and hiring people to build it for us. Best, On Fri, Mar 9, 2012 at 2:36 PM, Vik Killa <vipkilla@gmail.com> wrote:

We are working on one using Node.js, autoscaling distributed system. We welcome all help. We will publish the source on github when we reach alpha state. If you are interested fell free to contact me. Big thank you for Anthony and the team. Joseph ABpin On Fri, Mar 9, 2012 at 1:54 PM, Gabriel Gunderson <gabe@gundy.org> wrote:

If you're doing Django (or any Python), check out Parseltone:

https://parseltone.org/browser/trunk/parseltone/django/apps/freeswitch/

It's all under the MPL. Right now it's a bit of this and that, some real good stuff and a little cruft. But, feel free to look around and use what you like.

When we can get some of our projects done, we'll revisit that and give it some love. All this is done in the release early and release often mindset :)

Best, Gabe

You don't handle a dynamic dialplan on this? I am not very fond of Django and it has been a while since I last touched it so excuse me if I am mistaken. Regards, -- João Mesquita Sent with Sparrow (http://www.sparrowmailapp.com/?sig) On Friday, March 9, 2012 at 6:54 PM, Gabriel Gunderson wrote:

Why doesn't cudatel open sources their UI and receive testing, feedback and contribution from the community, for sure a lot a people are willing to contribute, they could do something like how redhat/fedora works, or switchbox/asterisknow.

Hey Andrew, how did this project go? Gabe

Hi Andrew, Do you plan to only use this internally, sell it, or open source it? I ask because it sounds a lot like what we intend on doing. Thanks, -Chris ___________________ Mobile Reply On Jun 9, 2012, at 6:45 AM, Andrew Cassidy <andrew@cassidywebservices.co.uk> wrote: Hi Gabe, It's still in the works but is going well. Since my last post I've added Queues and Conference call support, although queues are going to need a little work doing to force the freeswitch instances to load the configuration of new ones. Hoping to add faxing in shortly (time permitting, of course) and we'll see where we go from there. On 9 June 2012 04:27, Gabriel Gunderson <gabe@gundy.org> wrote:

Hi Chris, it's something that's intended to be sold and is being funded by a company that wants to use it as the basis for a hosted telephony platform. There are already many front-ends available for freeswitch, such as bluebox, freepybx, etc but I didn't feel any of them fit in with my intended model.

It seems that most of the gui projects (blue.box, fusionpbx) have been mostly abandoned in terms of development. I don't know blue.box; however, developers @FusionPBX seems to be very aggressive in developing FusionPBX. Take a look at the output from *svn info* and mine is as shown below:

The problem I have with fusionpbx is that config files are overwritten by whatever is in the database. If you hand-edit a config file, fusion will not parse the file and load those settings into the interface. For FusionPBX, if you want to retain your manually (hand) edited configuration file(s), you will need to use the FusionPBX built-in editor to edit your configuration file(s). Or, you can use its GUI to edit (add/del) items in your configuration file(s). Once that is done, you will need to save your configuration file(s). You can confirm the changes by manually editing your configuration files using your favorite text editor, i.e. vi, etc., from a shell.
