Exported XML-phonebook from lokal directory does not work as remote phonebook

[Werner1959]

I did export the local directory as a xml-file. Then I did upload the xml-file to my web server and did enter the path to the file into „Remote Phone Book“ in the webinterface.

When I want to access the remote phonebook with my T46G or my T42G appears the message „fail to download remote phonebook“.

What goes wrong?

Additional question:
Do you have an app, with which it is possible, to edit xml-phonebooks directly on a webserver?

Hi,

Make shure the Remote Phone Book XML-file looks something like this

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<XXXIPPhoneDirectory>
  <Title>Phonelist</Title>
  <Prompt>Prompt</Prompt>
  <DirectoryEntry>
    <Name>John Smith</Name>
    <Telephone>00923446585741</Telephone>
  </DirectoryEntry>
  <DirectoryEntry>
    <Name>Big Brother</Name>
    <Telephone>0018845982266</Telephone>
  </DirectoryEntry>
</XXXIPPhoneDirectory>

And not as the copied Local Phone Book like this

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<root_group>
    <group display_name="All Contacts" />
    <group display_name="Blacklist" />
</root_group>
<root_contact />

Thank you, Frank. I tried it with this

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<XXXIPPhoneDirectory>
<Title>Phonelist</Title>
<Prompt>Prompt</Prompt>
<contact display_name="Test1" office_number="11111" mobile_number="" other_number="" line="-1" ring="Auto" default_photo="" selected_photo="0" group_id_name="group1" />
<contact display_name="Test2" office_number="22222" mobile_number="" other_number="" line="-1" ring="Auto" default_photo="" selected_photo="0" group_id_name="group2" />
<contact display_name="Test3" office_number="33333" mobile_number="" other_number="" line="-1" ring="Auto" default_photo="" selected_photo="0" group_id_name="group3" />
</XXXIPPhoneDirectory>

But there comes in the display "No entry".


@YEALINK, you should make a button in the webinterface in "Directory" to generate an external phonebook automatically out of the local directory.

All other workarounds with Excel etc. are not really professional.

Hi Werner,

Have you tried my solution? Only for testing?

Xml files can be created / edited / maintained with a XML editor, e.g. Notepad++ 32 or 64 bit version.
It’s free to use. Just give it a try.

Yes, I have replaced the head and the foot according to your specifications. The single phone book entries, several hundred, I left unchanged. Editing all entries individually is for me no serious option for the business. Same I think about xml-Editor.

I need a tool for my office employees, which with I can easily in a window
- input
- edit
- delete
an phonebook entry.

Therefore all other is no business solution.

Dear Lucia,

sorry, but this excel "solution" is not a professional phonebook administration for an external phone book. It is not a professional solution.

In my firm editing and managing the central phonebook is not my personal job. I need a solution which must be easily usable for every simple office worker.

A suggestion for this:
Editing and managing phonebook would be possible on one of the T46G phones.
It should neither to heavy nor to expensive for your programmers to develop a solution to export this one local phonebook to a format to use as an external phonebook. For example: In the local phonebook a button "Export as an external phonebook". If I press the button I may save it to the central webserver. All other phones than would can access then this central external phonebook.
