Display Caller Picture on internal calls via LDAP

[cptjack]

I don't think you can directly show pictures from LDAP. I have a script on our server that prepares and saves the Contact.tar and ContactData.xml files from a database. The files get loaded during provisioning of the phones. That way, the local addressbook and photos get updated/uploaded to all the phones.

The script is something like this:

Code:

#!/bin/bash
php phonebook.php > ContactData.xml
cd photo
tar -cf ../photo.tar *.jpg
cd ..
tar -cf Contact.tar photo.tar ContactData.xml

Then add these 2 lines to the common.cfg file

Code:

local_contact.data.url = http://voipserver/voip/yealink/phonebook/ContactData.xml
local_contact.data_photo_tar.url = http://voipserver/voip/yealink/phonebook/Contact.tar

This workaround replaces the local addressbook, so be carefull if users have created their own entries.
