I know theres a way to make a single directory push to all the phones with the CE - is there a way for me to just create a directory file (of internal users/extensions) the will populate the directory of our phones in the Pro Edition? We're using Aastra 480i, Poly IP 330 & IP 650's.

You could write a perl

You could write a perl script to do it but there is nothing built into Pro at this time to do it.

I know a few VAR's that build and sell this perl trickery. I think they sell it in the range of 500-1000 bucks. Try visi-at-gcinfotech-dot-com

Cheers!

WOW! this is not supported? This is a major show stopper. Is there plans in the near future for a global directory?

tank,

The "Global Directory" solution for trixbox Pro is HUD.

Thanks,

What if you are set up to where a majority of your phones do not have PCs by them?

Tank,

In that case, you are out of luck for using HUD.

Thanks,

Plans in the future

So is this a feature that is going to implemented in a future release? I am sure we are not the only people who have requested this.

Tank,

This is not planned for a future release. This is not a request that I see often. HUD typically exceeds the expectations of people who are used to a 'directory'.

As posted in another thread, generating a Polycom directory (for example) can be done with some quick perl trickery. The directory XML structure is well documented by Polycom.

Thanks,
Mike

Well, I would like to officially add my name to the list - this is a feature that's critical if you want to have phones in a break room, conference room, etc..

It seems silly that the consumer would have to PURCHASE this Perl Trickery you reference just to have a directory published or available on, what is likely, a phone with the capability to support it. (eg: Aastra 480i - a PLATINUM certified phone)
