Description (Last modified by pwalker)

It would be nice to be able to use non-numeric Feature Codes in Feature Code Admin, maybe via a setting (e.g. ALLOWNONNUMERICFC in the old "amportal.com world") that defaults to the old behaviour. I agree that this is not needed for normal use of feature codes, but would be cool to have for codes that are only sent from the phones (e.g. I would be able to use "cf" and "dnd" Feature Codes that could be used when the respective feature is enabled on the phone and would be handled by my home-made silent CF and DND modules. ...and maybe there are other uses for this, too...)

This is currently checked in the js-function frmAdmin_onsubmit() inside page.featurecodeadmin.php using the js-Function isDialDigits().

P.S.: Technically, it seems to be possible to use alpha(numeric) extensions in Asterisk, but there seems to be a length limit or something when using them together with patterns.

  • milestone changed from Cut Line to 2.10.

given that phone buttons can send non-numeric codes, this may be practical though will have to investigate what further implications it may have within some of the code and dialplan already there. I'll leave it on the radar scope for the next release to keep it in mind.
