Hello, for my incoming calls CID lookup, since the asterisk phonebook module has been killed and does not exist under FreePBX17 I am trying to populate the Contact Manager by creating a new address book in the tab “external contact” via bulk handler and import a formatted CSV file.
With a CSV of about 100 lines everything work well both from the web page as weel from the command line, if the same CSV has about 10,000 lines the import does not work. I tried the command “fwconsole bi …” receiving no error but nothing happens. Even if I specify “–verbose” no error is shown and nothing is added to the contact list.
Is the bulk handler module bugged or am I doing something wrong?
Any other option to do the incoming CID lookup from a simple CSV table with name and numbers?
On a different tangent, what ‘type’ did you specify for the ‘fwconsole bi’ command to important contacts into the contact manager? Last time I tried to do it from the command line I determined that it wasn’t possible to import contacts.
I tried : fwconsole bi --type=extensions --replace --verbose phonebook.csv where the csv has been formatted properly including indicating the “groupname” where the contacts needs to be uploaded.
On the “type” I could read from the help only 2 options : extensions or dids.
Some syntaxt examples for the “bi” command I could not find also on the sangoma wiki.
I removed it and cannot find a way to re-install the module.
It does not show from the available modules and disappeared from the admin menu.
I am on FreePBX 17. How can I reinstall it?
