Hi,
I am looking for a way to dynamically make a new MeetMe conferenceroom.
Is there any way to get asterisk to get the information about avaliable rooms from a mysql db and not the config file?
The conference room must be created ondemand from a php script. Can anyone point me in a direction of a tutorial or an exampel of doing this?
Kind regards
Hasse
I think you could write a php AGI script and should be able to use an AGI command “exec” which can execute any asterisk application, including MeetMe. Thus you will be able to initiate a conference room from an AGI php script. AGI script is called from the dial plan (extensions.conf)
Check the page on AGI scripting:
voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+AGI
you will find a “exec” command there.
You also could check the page on MeetMe application itself:
voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+cmd+Meetme
There is an option ‘b’ for this application, which is “run AGI script specified in ${MEETME_AGI_BACKGROUND}”. You might research on that too.
You also should be able to set up a static configuration in MySQL for meetme.conf, but it is static. You can set static database configurations almost for all asterisk configuration files, like configurations in extconfig.conf:
extensions => odbc,mysql1,extensions_table
sippeers => odbc,mysql1,sip_buddies
voicemail => odbc,mysql1,voicemail_users
iaxfriends => odbc,mysql1,iax_buddies
queues => odbc,mysql1,queue_table
queue_members => odbc,mysql1,queue_member_table
meetme.conf => odbc,mysql1,ast_config
features.conf => odbc,mysql1,ast_config
agents.conf => odbc,mysql1,ast_config
enum.conf => odbc,mysql1,ast_config
iaxprov.conf => odbc,mysql1,ast_config
manager.conf => odbc,mysql1,ast_config
mgcp.conf => odbc,mysql1,ast_config
musiconhold.conf => odbc,mysql1,ast_config
;Use queues in realtime now
;queues.conf => odbc,mysql1,ast_config
skinny.conf => odbc,mysql1,ast_config
zapata.conf => odbc,mysql1,ast_config
You might google more in these directions and if you have problems, ask people, may be somebody will be able to help.
