[solved] CID Name Prefix disappears when clicking submit changes

General Help
1

Hi there!

I recently installed FreePBX with Follow Me 2.5.1.8 and noticed this strange behaviour:

when I add a follow-me and inside the follow me add a CID Name Prefix, this Prefix disappears when I click “Submit Changes” when I reload the settings they’re applied to the phone system and work fine.
However, when I change something in this follow me config, the missing CID Name Prefix in the checkbox will be written to the database next time I save.

this does not happen on a 2.5.1.5 Follow Me Module installed on another machine and due this is a production system, I’m scared to update any modules…

Any ideas?

Thank you

Alain Pfaeffli

tested on 2.6 - works fine

I don’t have a system setup with 2.5 to see what is going on there. I just tested this on an up-to-date 2.6 version of Follow-Me and there is no issue.

Are you technical enough to compare 2.5 vs. 2.6 versions of Follow-me to see how they may differ? That may help resolve.

This is the only difference between 2.5.1.8 and 2.6:

nothing between those would result in the reported issue occurring (or going away)?

Well, I just fired up my 2.5.1.5 system with Follow Me 2.5.1.8, clicked on Follow Me, clicked on one of my extensions, entered the text “Test” in the CID Name Prefix:, clicked Submit Changes, Apply Configuration Changes, clicked on another extension, then back to the first, the text “Test” was still there.

If you don’t have many Follow Me set up I would suggest that you uninstall the module then install it again.

thanks for all your help, I first reinstalled the module since it’s on a test system. then entered a CID Prefix “test” and it disappeared again…
my problem was that I also included the quotes - and seems that either firefox or the module does not like them :slight_smile:

so the problem was between my chair and my keyboard…
