In our continuing efforts to document ongoing enhancements to FreePBX we have recently launched a video site that will serve as a repository of FreePBX and PBXact related videos.

We currently have videos outlining the use of FreePBX Commercial Modules, FreePBX Installation, XactView, PBXact Phone Apps, and using the FreePBX Portal for support and installation of commercial modules.

If you've been on top of the online module repository then you may have noticed that the last Framework and Core update brought your 2.11 system up to final release state. As we discussed in one of our last blogs this has been a long release but we are excited to mark it final and equally excited to see how many systems out there are running it in production!

Here's a summary of the many great things that have been going on with FreePBX recently!
We will cover the following topics:
Upcoming Events: OTTS Open Telephony Training Seminar, May 21st-23rd
Certified Reseller Program Certification Testing, May 24th.
FreePBX Announcements:What’s Happening at FreePBX

Release of FreePBX 2.11.0 FINAL
Communications, Documentation, Blogs, Newsletters
SIPStation & FreePBX Acquisition, and who is Schmooze?
New Products & Solutions
Newly Release FreePBX Commercial Modules
Park Pro, XMPP Pro, Voicemail Reports, VQ Plus- Coming soon

We usually have quite a few beta sites up before moving to a release candidate but having over 10,000 beta systems out there is a bit of a record:) … maybe a little embarrassing that we did not 'deem' it release candidate quality some time ago. With all that said though, we have now rolled the release candidate and given how heavily 2.11 has been tested and is in production, it's simply a formality and we should be moving to final release within a week or so!

Good evening fellow forum members.

Since we updated the Forum software to Drupal Version 7 the code filters had not been working.

This made it very difficult to post XML, HTML examples to forum posts.

The filter needed to be moved to the bottom of the list, now text formats BBCode and Filtered HTML both render code properly.

To use simply encapsulate your text in the [code]tags[/code]

Here is an example of a PS without the code tags:

I am going to try and start a weekly Saturday morning technical blog about some cool Tip or Trick you can do with FreePBX that most people are not aware of. As anyone who knows me over the years spelling and grammar are not by strong suite so please do not take offense if you find mistakes. I am here to try and provide valuable technical information.

If you have any request for things you would like me to go more indepth on please feel free to comment here and I will see if I can cover it for you in a future blog.

So over the past 3 years Schmooze has acquired and designed alot of Documentation from Videos, UserGuides and Sales Slicks around all things related to our PBX and FreePBX. We have decided that trying to maintain all these different sites of documentation and yes even at Schmooze we had 3 different places our resellers and customers could find Documentation to combine all this into 1 place and also let the FreePBX users benefit from our collection of information.

The time and location for the next Open Telephony Training Seminar has been announced. The next session will be held at the Huntsville, Alabama offices of Digium, Inc. The cost of the class will be:

Early Bird Pricing (Ends March 31st) $1995.00

We pride ourselves on clearly communicating  when we have customer impacting product and services issues.  This process allows our customers and business partners vital information needed to react to service impacting outages.

Looking to improve this process and provide a notification means outside of our infrastructure we have created a new Support/Service Status only Blog.
