Use ConfBridge when possible instead of MeetMe

Description

Asterisk 1.6.2 has the new ConfBridge? application instead of Meetme. The big advantage is that dahdi is not required. I tested out a simple configuration of replacing the MeetMe? application in STARTMEETME with ConfBridge? and it worked fine with all the options. I realize this isn't a perfect implementation but it might be worth checking for the absence of DAHDI and the presence of ConfBridge?...if those two conditions exist then use ConfBridge? instead of MeetMe?. Otherwise Conferencing won't work.

Change History

  • confirmation changed from Unreviewed to Need Feedback.
  • milestone changed from 2.8 to Cut Line.

Deferring this for now since the majority are still on 1.4 and the application is new and un-tested.

If someone wants to provide a patch that includes this conditionally based on an amportal.conf configuration variable (which also requires extensions.class.php to be updated to add the new function) then we can look at putting this in as 'experimental' to give it a chance to be hashed out.

For now though, moving off of 2.8 pending any such contribution.

additionally - from a quick glance, it appears that at least 3 of the options available in conferences today are not present for ConfBridge? at least as listed in it's supported options on 1.6.2 "core show application ConfBridge?"

hmm - turns out this is a duplicate of #4213 anyhow.

I've added patch files which check the version and for version 1.6.2 or greater it will replace the function meetme with confbridge IF meetme is not available. Not a perfect solution but it does work in all my testing.

Three files modified:

functions.inc.php in the MeetMe? module extensions.class.php in the root directory of admin (which I think is the same file as the next) extensions.class.php in admin/framework/htdocs/admin

Two patch files attached, one for the extensions.class.php and one for the functions.inc.php in the MeetMe? module.
