how are the stock phone templates used

[coreybrett81]

I found the fanvil.ph.xml file at the following locations.

/usr/share/3cxpbx/skel/Data/Http/Templates/phones/fanvil.ph.xml
/var/lib/3cxpbx/Data/Http/Templates/phones/fanvil.ph.xml
/var/lib/3cxpbx/Instance1/Data/Http/Templates/phones/fanvil.ph.xml

I've tried editing all of them, but I don't see the results in the generated configs.

I know editing these files is not officially supported, but I'm still curious how they are actually used.

Perhaps their contents are being loaded into the database during updates and read from there?

Don't edit the templates, clone them:

I’m trying to figure out how/when these files are actually read?

Ok, nvm, I was pulling the config for a Fanvil C400 which uses the fanvil_android file, so my bad.

It seems that the files in /var/lib/3cxpbx/Instance1/ are the ones that actually get used.

What are the files in
/usr/share/3cxpbx/skel/Data/Http/Templates/phones/ and
/var/lib/3cxpbx/Data/Http/Templates/phones/ used for?

The Instance1 is your instance of 3CX.

Both others were used in the time of multi-tenancy. Those are used only at setup now.
