Hello everyone, I've been making a few simple services for my 7975 and 7970's and have a few questions on a couple of topics.

1: I've been using some commands in my XML Services to act as button presses such as "key:Directories" to allow access to the Directories menu from the touchscreen etc. Here's my menu i've made so far so you can see what i mean...

Is there a way to make a single command simulate the press of a sequence of buttons, i'e a Macro, i want to make button that that can simplify some common tasks like blind transferring to a specific extension like "Transfer>2002>Transfer" to do an instant blind transfer with only 1 button press, either from a line key or a XML menu.

I've tried entering the list of commands in my service menu for example to instantly load the missed calls screen it would be "key:Directories" then "key:1" i tried...

<Name>missed</Name>
        <URL>Key:Directories,Key:1</URL>
        <TouchArea X<<whatever>>"/>
</MenuItem>

but it doesn't work...

Anyone know a way to do this type of thing?

2: I dont use Asterisk, but instead an Intertex router, can i configure a cisco expansion module for speed dials only - i dont want BLF and all of that stuff, my phones all run SIP 8.5.2(sr1)

If i connect a 7914,15 or 16, can i just add extra speedials to the main phones config file like "Line12" and it will show up on the module, or do i need more separate config files to make it work. Or does the module look on the sip server for a list of lines? - which i doubt it can do with my router.
I can't find details of this anywhere.

3: A few days ago i loaded the new Sip 9.0.2 firmware on a 7970, it all loaded fine but the phone wouldn't register - i think the same thing has been said about the new 9900 and 8900 phones here...

http://trixbox.org/forums/vendor-forums-non-certified/linksys/cis...

They ship with SIP 9, so i dont think its an Asterisk problem, as i don't use it and i have the same issue.

Any help on any of this would be great!

Heres a zip file of what ive
Mon, 03/01/2010 - 6:32am

Heres a zip file of what ive got so far - the icons are a single PNG image made in photoshop from iPhone icons

http://n10248.info/services.zip

there is also a html file and a php document that allows you to update the text on the notes "app"... (simple but useful)

put all the contents on a webserver, you'll have to update the services.xml to your server address and point you phone to it.

The "text" folder will need to have permissions set to "0777" so the PHP file works

What Does What...
- Contacts - loads an address book page (included)
- Calls - same as directories button
- Photos - Dead end now but can easily be made to show some pictures
- Notes - loads the /text/notes.txt file which can be updated from a pc
- messages - same as messages button
- News - dead end so far
- Settings - same as settings key
- More... - dead end but will eventually lead to another page of option

So far m just experimenting with different things and working out how to do it as needed.

That is way cool. Have you looked at the free Berbee Applications?

That will get you the news and stuff you are looking for.

http://www.singlewire.com/xmlservices.html

I am not a programmer but I can help you integrate the applications and package.

I have been thinking about doing a fork of the distro that includes direct support for Cisco SCCP software. This could play nicely into that.

awesome! I cant wait to try
Wed, 03/03/2010 - 7:35am

awesome! I cant wait to try these out tonight. How are these services on the 7961 series? I wonder how one could program a button to display an IP camera feed? The 7971s have video capability, correct?

i doubt a 7961 would play
Wed, 03/03/2010 - 10:55am

i doubt a 7961 would play nice with the menu, as it uses touch areas that only a 7x can understand

7970,71 and 75's cant display video live, the video "feature" is just the ability to initiate a video call on a pc or telepresence set up. the new 99/8900 phones can do video, but in any case this is not part of the "Services" menu.

A static image camera feed hoevery is easy, but the tricky bit is getting the camera to save its image as a 298x168 png file on your server. if it cant do this on its own, you have to mess around finding a script to resize it for you.

Added Weather
Thu, 03/25/2010 - 3:20pm

I replaced the Photos button with a Weather button.

I replaced the Photo code with the following:

    <MenuItem>
        <Name>top3</Name>
        <URL>http://phone-xml.berbee.com/cgi-bin/weather.pl</URL>
        <TouchArea X1="157" Y1="8" X2="214" Y2="64"/>
    </MenuItem>

All credit goes to N10248.

Sat, 04/10/2010 - 5:09am

I'm loving this services screen, been meaning to explore services for some 7940/7960's but the 7970 just goes one better every time!
I've linked my News icon to the RSS feed for my local weather on BBC Weather, using the same code as on the news button.

http://newsrss.bbc.co.uk/weather/forecast/3/Next3DaysRSS.xml for example is the weather here in Bristol, so you make the url up as follows:

Glad everyone likes this stuff

i've uploaded the original Photoshop file which has a few other layers, for best results use the "Save for Web" option in photoshop and select "PNG-8" as the format then "Adaptive" for the colour pallette and "Diffusion" for the shading effect and put the colour limit to 256 for a 7975 and less for a 7970 as the screens are different...

I've recently added a Radio Times button but have yet to find a good place to get all UK TV listing in RSS/XML so currently it just a tv pick of the day script...

Tried looking at some of the DigiGuide stuff? Oh and your images show fine on the 7970 without any modifications.

Sun, 04/11/2010 - 6:22am

I had an idea last night...

I've uploaded whats done so far, add the following link to your service menu..

http://n10248.info/myst/myst.xml

i'm still making changes here and there and more will appear over time.

How to play:
- Tap centre of screen to go forward.
- Tap left and right of image to turn, (you can't always turn depending on where you are).
- To exit press the Services button as the exit button only goes back a step.

Thanks for sharing the source psd file. My image really sucked. Nothing looks great on my 7970, but every detail helps.
