Bulk Extensions with latest version of Trixbox

azmerlin's picture
Posted July 9th, 2008 by azmerlin (tadpole)

Hi all,

I downloaded the latest ( 0.1.1) version of the Bulk Extensions last week and installed it on Trixbox 2.6.0.7, all worked fine first time, did what I wanted super !!!
Yesterday I installed ( on a clean machine) the new version of trixbox, 2.6.1 and installed the same version of BE on it, it installed fine and activated OK, but when I tried to import a CSV file ( even the sample in the install tar) I am getting run time errors.
Has anyone else tried this and got it working OK ? if so How ? The reason I upgraded by the way is that I wanted to get FOP to work which it seems to be just fine now.
Cheers

azmerlin,

I'm glad you got some use out of Bulk Extensions.

I don't use trixbox, so I can't really comment on any troubles with it. Bulk Extensions uses core FreePBX functions to modify extensions, so if the latest trixbox release made any changes to those functions, I would expect errors.

I am about to release 0.2.0, so please let me know the details of your problem. If a fix is needed, I should be able to role it in with the new release.

Thanks, Seth


Thank You!

This is exactly what I've been looking for to mass create extensions.. it takes care of 1/2 of the provisioning task!
You Rock!

Anyone know if there is something that will Export extensions?

trixbox 2.6.1 has a different Bulk Extensions module

sasargen's picture
On July 10th, 2008 sasargen (Developer) said:

azmerlin,

The errors indicate that you used the trixbox Bulk Extensions module by selecting PBX and then Bulk Extensions from the main trixbox menu. This is a new module made by trixbox, not the existing module with the same name for FreePBX. Don't let that make you think that they are nearly the same, though. The trixbox module allows you to add extensions with up to 6 settings specified, while the FreePBX module allows add, edit, or delete extensions with up to 60 settings. That is why the sample CSV file from the tarball didn't work.

I believe you can start the FreePBX Bulk Extensions module in trixbox by selecting PBX and then PBX Settings from the main trixbox menu. This brings you to the FreePBX interface (the so-called PBXconfig). Select Tools from the left side menu. Then select Bulk Extensions under Third Party Addon from the left side menu. Please let me know if you have any problems loading the CSV from that page.

By the way, as originally suggested by wiseoldowl, the 0.2.0 version of Bulk Extensions will include a full Export function for all extensions. That should make it even easier to make a good CSV file. I'm also working to include some additional documentation.

Thanks, Seth

What are you running?

Hi volk22,

Can you please indicate what software you are using? For example, Asterisk version and FreePBX version. Also, if you are using a specific distro, please mention which one (Elastix, PBX in a Flash, trixbox, etc) and its version.

Thanks, Seth

On August 4th, 2008 fskrotzki (Contributor) said:

hehe, I'll bet you are using the new trixbox bulk import/export. See July 10th, 2008 sasargen posting above. Since Fontality decided to fork FreePBX and start making changes that is one of them. Confusing, and they are the ones causing it.

If you wish to use the Fontality version you'll need to goto the ww.trixbox.org site for support as it was not written by anybody here. If you want the one that is more robust and talked about as a FreePBX module please see the directions above on loading that one (probably the one you were following the directions for).


no no no

Workaround

sasargen's picture
On August 5th, 2008 sasargen (Developer) said:

volk22,

I have duplicated the error you found. It does not occur with standard FreePBX, but it looks like the wrapper trixbox puts around FreePBX is breaking the technique used to stream the csv file to your browser. I am investigating this further, but there is a workaround you can use in the meantime. The error causes the module to print the csv file to your browser window instead of a new file. You can copy all the text after the line that ends with "on line 290" and paste it into a csv file. This should be the same as the file output produced with standard FreePBX.

Thanks, Seth


Fix for bulkextensions

sasargen's picture
On August 5th, 2008 sasargen (Developer) said:

volk22,

Some systems are having an error on a trailing new line in the functions.inc.php file for bulkextensions. The following fix has been tested on trixbox 2.6.1.1 using the virtual machine from Fonality:

  1. log into trixbox console as root and type the following command line:
  2. nano /var/www/html/admin/modules/bulkextensions/functions.inc.php
  3. when nano opens, press Alt + g
  4. when the prompt says Enter line number, column number: then type 308 and press enter
  5. your cursor should be on a blank line at the bottom of the file. press Delete on your keyboard
  6. press Ctrl + x, then y, then Enter to exit, save changes, and overwrite the existing file

Now go back to Bulk Extensions in the web interface and try the Export command.

Thanks, Seth


Fix is included in bulkextensions 0.2.1

Having a hanging problem?

iskondi's picture
On August 20th, 2008 iskondi (tadpole) said:

Hey guys, running either the latest 0.2.1 or 0.2.0 with the latest version of Trixbox I run into an issue where if I create a csv file with one entry it adds/deletes/changes without issue, but if I add more then one it succeeds on the first then dies. It displays no information on the screen and after a loooong time it will time out.

Any ideas as to what might be causing that?

Let me know if there is any information I can send your way to assist in figuring this out. I'd REALLY prefer not to do all this by hand :-)

Thanks again,

Iskondi


Your csv file may not be in the correct format

sasargen's picture
On August 20th, 2008 sasargen (Developer) said:

Iskondi, try exporting your extensions to csv with 0.2.1, then re-importing the csv without making any changes to it. If this fails, please post the contents of the csv file.

Thanks, Seth

export bulk extension in freepbx 2.4 and import to 2.5

I exported the bulk extensions from freePBX 2.4 and would like to know if I could import those to freePBX 2.5. I noticed that the spreadsheets are different between 2.4 and 2.5. Any problem using 2.4 export to import to 2.5. Of course I installed the bulk extension 2.5.0. Thanks.

import to 2.5 should be fine

sasargen's picture
On November 21st, 2008 sasargen (Developer) said:

Jim,

The bulkextensions module will read any fields that it recognizes from 2.4 and import them into 2.5 without trouble. The main limitation is that the per extension DID numbers from 2.4 are no longer in 2.5, so they are ignored by the latest version of bulkextensions.
