[Evolution-hackers] Asterisk click to dial EPlugin

[Matthias Boehm <m boehm mbnetworx net>]

Hello you guys out there,

I 'm thinking about tryin' to build a plugin, that creates click to dial
solution for the asterisk PBX system via its magagement interface. I
have written a little perl script that does the job so far. 

<code>

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use Net::Telnet ();
use File::Basename;
use CGI qw(:standard);


$mgrUSERNAME = param('user');
$mgrSECRET = param('pass');
$server_ip = param('server');
$callerID = param('callerid');
$exten = param('exten') || "";
$number = param('number') || "";


 $tn = new Net::Telnet (Port => 5038,
                      Prompt => '/.*[\$%#>] $/',
                      Output_record_separator => '',
                      Errmode    => 'return'
                     );
  $tn->open("$server_ip");
  $tn->waitfor('/0\n$/');
  $tn->print("Action: Login\nUsername: $mgrUSERNAME\nSecret: $mgrSECRET
\n\n");
  $tn->waitfor('Message: Authentication accepted');
  $tn->print("Action: originate\n");
  $tn->print("Channel: CAPI/contr1/$number/n");
  $tn->print("Context: default\n");
  $tn->print("Exten: $exten\n");
  $tn->print("Priority: 1\n");
  $tn->print("Callerid: $callerid\n\n");
  $tn->print("Action: Logoff\n\n");

</code>


Now my question is: Is it possible to integrate something like that into
evolution via the eplugin interface. For example a button in the toolbar
that opens a dialog box with all telephone numbers of the selected
contact, so the user can choose the number he wants to dial and
originate the call by pressing a button. The username, password, server
ip, callerid and extension parameters should be configurable in the
settings dialog of evolution. I have read arround a litte in the eplugin
docs and I think this should be not to hard to do. What do you think
about my idea?
