We're running Asterisk Open Source 11 + FOP2, with an extension pattern of XXX. We have several extensions that have a "special" extension (1XXX) that will call the user's cell phone instead of the office phone. Information about the extension (including the cell phone number that gets dialed when a user dials 1XXX) is stored in a database, and FOP2's buttons.cfg is being dynamically generated via bash script using that database.

I see there currently exists a "call" button that will call a given extension when selected. Is there a relatively simple way I can add "call cell phone", either as an action button on top or as a "context menu" item within the menu that pops up when you click on a button's status indicator?

Thanks, don't know why I didn't catch that from the documentation.

The one thing that I'm running into at the moment is, I can get a "transfer to mobile" button, but there doesn't seem to be a "dial mobile" option? I tried adding dialexternal permissions for my users, but no "dial mobile" button is available. Similarly, I don't see a "dial mobile" when using a user with "all" permissions. Is there some other way to originate a new call to the user's mobile number that I'm not seeing?
