Elastix Tips

Change “From  Name”  in Elastix/FreePBX FAX to Email

Edit the file /var/lib/asterisk/bin/fax-process.pl

Change the line starting with “From: $from” to  ”From: FAX Mailer \<$from\>” or put any name instead of FAX Mailer.

Assign only one Fax Device for each elastix user

Edit  the file /var/www/html/modules/sendfax/index.php

Comment the line starting with  $arrFaxList = array(“none”=> and add the below two lines.

// $arrFaxList = array("none" => '-- ' . $arrLang["Select a Fax Device"] . ' --');
$usrname = $_SESSION['elastix_user'];
exec("sqlite3 -separator '|' /var/www/db/acl.db \"select extension from acl_user where name='$usrname'\"", $user_exten);

Add the following line after the line starting with  ”foreach($faxes as $values){“

if($_SESSION[‘elastix_user’] == “admin”

$user_exten[0] == $values[‘extension’])

Edit  the file /var/www/html/modules/faxviewer/index.php

Add the following 2 lines after the line starting with  ”if(is_array($arrResult) && $total>0) {“

$usrname = $_SESSION['elastix_user'];
exec("sqlite3 -separator '|' /var/www/db/acl.db \"select extension from acl_user where name='$usrname'\"", $user_exten);

Add the following line after the line starting with   ” $fax[$k] = htmlentities($fax[$k], ENT_COMPAT, ‘UTF-8’);”

 if($user_exten[0] == $fax[‘destiny_fax’] OR $_SESSION[‘elastix_user’] == “admin”){

Add a close the bracket after “ ”<a href=’?menu=$module_name&action=edit&id=”.$fax[‘id’].”’>”._tr(‘Edit’).”</a>”); }”

Change Elastix admin password

sqlite3 /var/www/db/acl.db "UPDATE acl_user SET md5_password = '`echo -n password|md5sum|cut -d ' ' -f 1`' WHERE name = 'admin'"

Now Elastix admin password is 'password' (without quotes)

Add a New Menu Item in Elastix / Issabel GUI

You want to publish a URL, example a database manager URL which you can access it with https://<elasitx_ip>/dbadmin.

Your dbadmin is located under the folder /var/www/html/

then add the menu:
-——————————- sqlite3 /var/www/db/menu.db
-——————————-

If you want add to the menu extras:
-——————————- insert into menu values('dbadmin', 'extras', 'FOLDER', 'dbAdmin', 'frame','7');
-——————————- FOLDER is the name of your dbadmin folder in /var/www/html

then add the next:
-——————————- sqlite3 /var/www/db/acl.db insert into acl_resource values(124, 'dbAdmin', 'dbAdmin');
-——————————-

Note: See the first value (it’s a number: 124), it can’t be the same of another, first
review the last id with:
-——————————- select * from acl_resource;
-——————————- and choose the last one +1

Finally add:
-——————————- insert into acl_group_permission values(166, 1, 1, 124);
-——————————- Note: The first number (166) is:
-——————————- select * from acl_group_permission;
-——————————- the last one +1

the last number (124) is the same that the inserted in the acl_resource

Now you can see the module dbAdmin in Elastix - Extras
Remember that if you are logged you need logout and login.
