Where do I find the Adminsitrator's Guide?

Posted by justdave on Wed, 02/16/2011

There used to be a link to download the Administrator's Guide on the "Home" screen within PBX Manager, and that seems to be gone in the latest versions...

its a Work In Progress.. notice some characters imported strangely so you'll see characters where symbols used to exist. I believe Alex imported his word document, so if a specific section is outdated, it will still be less-than-current. The wiki format provides for a, hopefully, faster means to update specific areas without having to check an entire document out for revision.

Actually, the information I was looking for doesn't appear to be there yet anyway. I was looking for how to implement a hook using the Event Hooks config. It mentions arguments being passed that contain an object, but it doesn't say what it's being passed to... is it a shell script or a perl function, or a dialplan function within asterisk, or... ?

the environment.. its a direct path to an executable on the filesystem, your executable can be written in any language. The information passed is delivered as environmental variables. To see what they are you can write a very basic shell script that runs the command 'printenv' and outputs it to a file. This will give you an indication of what variables you can manipulate in your program.

The wiki (at the moment) is just the import of the (outdated) documentation. It was not meant to be made public yet. We did a basic integration with thirdlane web site - single sign on, but not much else. I am a bit concerned about releasing it to the world without having wiki expertise or volunteers who 1) really understand media wiki 2) are willing to help in getting and keeping it up-to-date 3) monitoring it and helping with potential abuse. As I have to admit, I am not a Media Wiki expert and don't have any on staff so help would be very much appreciated.

Post here or write to me directly if you have any suggestions or would like to help.
