Asterisk@Home Dynamic UI v1.0  


After an initial release of an updated main web interface entry page for the administration of the Asterisk@Home distribution, we have further improved it to support v1.x - v2.5 installations -- automatically!

No configuration or editing necessary, just drop into place and it does the rest. Additionally, it has been written to accomodate new additions and web services as Asterisk@Home & 3rd-Party projects continue to evolve.

Screenshots:
        AAH v1.5 | AAH v2.5 | w/Webmin | w/All Apps

What's New:
  • Dynamically detects each component and enables buttons automatically based on your installation

  • Adapts to v1.x installations by updating the URL for accessing Voicemail recordings accordingly

  • Supports components up to the v2.5 release

  • Supports Webmin installations with appropriate icon/link

  • Supports "NerdVittles.com/Mundy.org" Asteridex and Asterisk Reminders applications with appropriate icons/links

  • 2/22/2006 NEW! Added SSL support for Webmin detection under HTTPS
    • Installation:

    Instructions from the linux command prompt on your Asterisk box:

    1) (login of course)
    2) cd /var/www/html
    3) wget http://www.kennonsoft.org/projects/asterisk/admin-ui.tar
    4) tar -xvf admin-ui.tar
    5) rm index.html
    6) rm admin-ui.tar
    That's it, have fun!



    Advanced Options:
  • Permanently disable buttons of unwanted components -- Either rename the directory of the unwanted component (base path: /var/www/html/), or edit the index.php file carefully if you're up to the challenge!

  • 2/22/06 New! Create your own buttons -- Download our Photoshop/ImageReady template to make it easy & consistent (Download File)

  • 2/24/06 New! 3Ware RAID Manager Support -- Download & decompress (or: wget http://www.kennonsoft.org/projects/asterisk/admin-ui-3ware.tar) our modified file & icon to add auto-detect support for the 3Ware RAID Web Manager (Download File)

    How about an icon for A2Billing calling card app? They use two links, a2billing and a2customer.

    Great work though, any chance of getting the PSD's to make new buttons on our own?

    Thanks for the kind words everyone - always appreciated. As for Blake's template request, it has been added. Will take a look at the A2Billing item shortly.

    Thanks.

    It's a great interface! THANKS!
    I agree with BLAKE, what about an A2Billing and A2Customer buttons... If anyone makes them please post here. If anyone helps me with creating the images, I could take up the challenge of making the php code and post it here. rd_cortes (at) walla (dot) com

    You got it! Plus a couple extra nifty features!

    Sorry for the delay, it just takes time to find that moment between the projects that keep everyone's bills paid, to whip it into shape!

    I have in my office running *@home 2.8 with updated freepbx. The fax works perfect. I paid the previous company of freepbx for fixing it. They closed their doors last july. I can not make trixbox fax works. I am willing to pay for the fix. Please contact me at jmvelez@velezcomputer.com 800-266-0730

    Thank You

    Information about the asterisk sounds update:

    Trixbox v1.2.2 bugs, quick fix from the TrixBox creator!

    21) yum clean all

    22) yum –y update asterisk

    23) rpm -i --force /var/trixbox_load/rpms/asterisk-sounds-1.2.1-1.noarch.rpm

    24) rm -rf /tmp/*

    25) reboot

    **NB** Step 23 has two - symbols. Certain web browsers display this as one long dash, I recommend you copy the instructions to your favorite notepad if you run into any issues.

    This site has saved me hours! Thank you!!!

    Yes, replace the image with a blank one, or remove the HTML code from index.php that references the image!

    Hi,

    It seems like none of the TrixBox has the kernel source code. It is interesting, why they not including this. I am looking for the 2.6.9-34.0.2.ELsmp source code. Anyone knows how to get it?

    Thank you

    Anonymous -

    Actually only TrixBox v1.2.2 that I am aware of forgot the kernel source, the rest have it I think. To get it nonetheless, take a look at steps 10 & 10a in the TB v1.2.2 Quickie HowTo on this site -- it will show you exactly how to pull the source.

    Additionally, TrixBox v1.2.3 is a good build that has the 34.0.2 kernel & source with the Spinlock.h fix already applied, so makes for great Zaptel re-builds to find that magic echo-free combo for your particular hardware!
