dial by name directory // mod_directory?
Has freeswitch implemented the "Dial by Name" feature where a caller can enter the first x number of characters of an extensions first or last name and have the operator either connect the user to the result and/or state the result's extension number? I heard this was a feature that was implemented or going to be implemented in freeswitch. If it has been implemented, would you send me info on how to configure it? If it has not been implemented, would you state when it is planned to be implemented? I believe the module name is mod_directory, is that correct? Thanks, -Will

It is mod_directory. I haven't tried it yet. Please test drive it and report back. -MC
Thanks Michael. I will test drive it and report back. I will also be testing incoming fax and conference calls as well next week.

Where/how does mod_directory associate a name with an extension? Meaning, what variable and where does it get the "last name" of the extension user? I searched the wiki and could not find much on mod_directory and how it works. Will this information be updated soon?

I suppose I could try to post something, now that I have it mostly figured out. I did get it working, even with our 100% xml_curl driven directory. Give me a few days. -Tim William Traenkle wrote:

Hi Will, One way: Set the effective_caller_id_name in the LineId.xml files in the profiles you are using. <include> <user id="1045"> <params> </params> <variables> <variable name="effective_caller_id_name" value="FirstName LastName"/> I had asked the same question earlier today.
