I've noticed that (at least on Asterisk 10, and presumably on any version post 1.6 that supports DEVICE_STATE) the AMI is sending events for when a Custom device changes state; is there any way FOP can be extended to use these events? I deleted my debug file earlier, but I can get the events again for you this evening/weekend if you want.

Okay, thank you. Does anyone have a sample of what the buttons.cfg file winds up "looking like" in device&user mode for FreePBX to give me a nudge in the right direction?

I recently deployed a vanilla Asterisk 10 server with MySQL based hot desking (more or less as per the example here: http://ofps.oreilly.com/titles/97805965 ... sk-DB.html). Since I'm not using the "private queue" workaround for the hot desk users, I don't really have a fixed device to monitor for my users other than a custom device I'm manipulating through dialplan magic, and FOP2 kicks a fuss if I try to tell it to use [Custom/${EXTEN}] (I fill in the substitution myself, but for example's sake...)

Two questions:

1. Is there a straightforward way for me to get FOP2 to monitor my users instead of a device?
2. Is there a supported way to get FOP2 to use the login credentials out of my existing MySQL database for the hotdesking, so I can let people have the same PIN for logging into both the phones and FOP2?
