Add photo to remote xml phonebook

[cptjack]

Add or update these three parameters in your y000000000035.php file:

Code:

#Before using these parameters, you should store the desired resource files to the provisioning server.
#For more information, refer to Yealink SIP-T46G IP Phone Family Administrator Guide.
local_contact.data.url = http://server/voip/yealink/phonebook/ContactDataT48.xml
local_contact.image.url = http://server/voip/yealink/phonebook/ContactPhotoT48.tar
local_contact.icon.url = http://server/voip/yealink/phonebook/ContactPhotoT48.tar

The actual filenames are arbitrary, choose something that makes sense to you...

• The first parameter will add the XML phonebook entries to your phone.
• The second line will add the large photos which are shown during the call.
• The last line adds the small icons that you see in the local addressbook.
  

The tar file is just an archive of all the photos you reference in the XML file. Just the pictures in BMP JPG or PNG format without any (sub)folders! You can use the same tar file for icons and photos as the pictures will be resized automatically.

ContactDataT48.xml has this format:

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<root_group>
    <group display_name="All Contacts" ring="" />
    <group display_name="Blacklist" ring="" />
</root_group>
<root_contact>
    <contact display_name="Test1" office_number="2510" mobile_number="2511" other_number="3610" line="1" ring="" group_id_name="All Contacts" default_photo="Config:test.jpg" />
    <contact display_name="Test2" office_number="3510" mobile_number="3511" other_number="3620" line="2" ring="" group_id_name="Blacklist" default_photo="Config:blocked.jpg" />
    <!--
    default_photo="" Only T46 supports!
    -->
</root_contact>

Tested on my T48G with the latest 35.73.0.50 firmware.

Alternatively, you can also add a SIP Header, that will display the picture you specify in the URL. I use this in Asterisk dialplan for adding a picture to a number that is NOT in the local directory:

Code:

same => n,SIPAddHeader(Call-Info: <http://server/voip/callerid.php?num=${CALLERID(num)}>\;purpose=icon)

Then create a php script that outputs a picture depending on the CallerID provided:

PHP Code:

<?php
    $db = new PDO('mysql:host=myserver;port=myport;dbname=mydatabase;charset=utf8', 'myuser', 'mypassword');

    $accountid = 1;
    $number = $_GET['num'];
    
// Number are stored in international format. Convert local numbers:
    if (substr($number,0,2)=="00") { $number = "+" . substr($number,2,strlen($number)-2); }
    if (substr($number,0,1)=="0") { $number = "+44" . substr($number,1,strlen($number)-1); }
    
        $query = $db->prepare("SELECT * from callerid where accountid=:accountid AND number=:number AND not isnull(picture);");
        $query->execute(array(':accountid'=>$accountid,':number'=>$number));
        $data = $query->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
    
    if (count($data)>0) {
        $ImageDataLength = strlen($data[0]['picture']);
        
        header("Content-type: image/jpeg") ;
        header("Content-Length: ".$ImageDataLength);
        echo $data[0]['picture'];
    } else {
        header("location:nopicture.jpg");
    }
?>
