Update Device Key Label when Changing Extension's Caller ID Name

[dougs]

I wanted a way to update all device BLF Key Labels when you changed the name associated with an extension. I wanted to only update the name of the extension in one place and have that value updated on every device that has that extension assigned as a BLF.

So now when you edit the "Effective Caller ID Name" of an extension it updates the "Label" of every device that has that extension as a BLF.

I accomplished this by editing the PHP of the "Extension" page. in "Advanced" > "PHP Editor" edit the following file: /var/www/fusionpbx/app/extensions/extension_edit.php

After the section with the remarks of "//update devices having extension assigned to line(s) with new password" I added the following:

//update device key label

if (strlen($effective_caller_id_name) > 0) {​

$sql = "update v_device_keys set ";​

$sql .= "device_key_label = '".$effective_caller_id_name."' ";​

$sql .= "where domain_uuid = '".$_SESSION['domain_uuid']."' ";​

$sql .= "and device_key_value = '".$extension."' ";​

$db->exec(check_sql($sql));​

unset($sql);​

}​

This is what mine looks like:


Obviously click save at the top and you're done.

I am not a developer by any means so there may be a better way to do this, but it works for me.

Would there be a way to do this for a display name of a line as well? Not just keys.
