Greetings.

Code sent to dyntech, if you don,t get it, send me a PM.

This is how I see it with the next 3CX Phone System version - one of the following cases-

1. 3CX will have their own inbuilt talking clock or

2. The existing code will still work with the next version or

3. The code may need modification to work with the next 3CX version or

4. 3CX could rewrite the Phone System so the Talking Clock code can't be used with the 3CX phone system.

I hope it's not the last case.

We will just have to wait and see.

Hello daves,

I'm interested also.

Thanks!
 
can you send me a copy of your code thanks!
 
I haven't tried it yet because I'm waiting for version 4 to come out. Then I'll give it a shot along with testing the other new features.
 
I'm interested too.

Sounds interesting. I need it. Thanks.

Instructions and code sent to Kafao, nexSIP and ramon.

If you guys nont get it or need mor info get back to me.

It will be interesting to see if this will work with the next version.

Greetings,

for those of you who already have the code for the talking clock, you may be interested in this piece of code also.

You copy it to a text file and save it as TalkingID.php in the vxml folder with the TalkingClock.php add a bit of extra code to the ivr_start.php file and create another Digital receptionist.

What this does is, when you dial the number you have set up, it will tell you what extension you have called from

eg "Your extension number is eight zero six thankyou goodbye"

If you need more info get back to me

See code below.

Daves



<?php
//------------------------------------------------------------------
//
// NUMBER IDENTIFIER FOR 3CX Phone System ( BY DS & DB )
//
//------------------------------------------------------------------

$Number_Id_Audio = TRUE; //Read out the Number ID

//------------------------------------------------------------------

?>

<audio src="GetPrompt.php?id=YOUR" />
<audio src="GetPrompt.php?id=EXTNUM" />
<audio src="GetPrompt.php?id=IS" />

<?
$Number_Id_Len = strlen($rp_caller);

for ($i=1, $d=0; $i<=$Number_Id_Len; $i++, $d++)
{
$Number_Id = substr($rp_caller, $d, 1);
?>

<audio src="GetPrompt.php?id=NUM_<? print "$Number_Id" ?>" />

<?}?>

<audio src="GetPrompt.php?id=BYE" />
 
May i have the code for ivr_start.php?

Thanks in advance,
Tom

Hi daves.

Would you please count me in?

But here a thougt.
What about make a post with a link to download it.
You propably save a great amount of time sending this to all user in the forum. :wink:
 
Greetings all.

So nobody has to ask for the code and instructions -

Any feedback or addons or contributions would be welcome


Below is the information on how to implement the "Talking Clock" code
in the 3CX Phone System.

Also see the extra bit at the bottom of this about dial different numbers to get different
messages.


STEP 1-

In the 3CX Phone System web interface, login and goto > Digital Receptionist > Add

Put in the Virtual Extension number you want to use for the talking clock in this field. eg 555

Put the Name in this field. eg Talking Clock

In the Prompt field select the "Browse" button and goto
eg "C:\Program Files\3CX PhoneSystem\Data\Ivr\Prompts\beep.wav"
(Any prompt in your 3CX Phone System will do. The Talking Clock does not actually use this prompt, however the
3CX Phone System web page will complain if the prompt field is left empty).

Then go to the bottom of the page and click the "OK" button



STEP 2 -

Open Notepad in windows and copy the code below (Including START OF SCRIPT and END OF SCRIPT lines) into notepad.

Save the file as "TalkingClock.php" into the "3CX PhoneSystem\Data\Ivr\Vxml" folder
eg "C:\Program Files\3CX PhoneSystem\Data\Ivr\Vxml\TalkingClock.php" or wherever it's installed in your system.

STEP 3 -

Locate the file called "ivr_start.php", in the "3CX PhoneSystem\Data\Ivr\Vxml" folder
eg "C:\Program Files\3CX PhoneSystem\Data\Ivr\Vxml\ivr_start.php" or wherever it's installed in your system.

NOTE I would reccomend that you make a backup copy of this file in another folder, somewhere,
in case you make an error following the next steps.

Open the "ivr_start.php" file, which is in the Vxml folder, in windows notepad.
(Right click on the file > Open with > Choose Program > Notepad)

Scroll down to the very bottom of the text of the "ivr_start.php" file in notepad.


Scroll backup slowly until you find the last occurance of </block> in the file.

Just above this </block> insert the following lines -


// TALKING CLOCK --------------------------------------------------

<?}?>

// TALKING CLOCK --------------------------------------------------



Now go to the line above it that says -

<submit next="<?= "CallPhp.php?php_file=" . rawurlencode($menu_file) . "&" . $sessParams ?>" />


Just above this line insert the following lines -




// TALKING CLOCK --------------------------------------------------

<? if($rp_dn == "555"){include("TalkingClock.php");}
else

{?>

// TALKING CLOCK --------------------------------------------------


You may like to add some blank lines between the original code and the added code
just so the new code is easier to see.

So the bottom part of your "ivr_start.php" file, between the vxml tags should
look something like this -



<? echo '<?xml version="1.0"?>'; ?>
<vxml version="2.0" application="root.vxml">

<form id="ivr_start">

<block>

<?
if( $bError ) {
?>
<log><?= htmlspecialchars($sError) ?></log>
<disconnect />
<? } else {
?>
<goto nextitem="voicemenu" />
<? }
?>
</block>

<?
if( !$bError )
{
$reqParams->SetParam("caller", $rp_caller);
$reqParams->SetParam("ext_num", $rp_dn);
$reqParams->RemoveParam("ivm_redirect");
$sessParams = htmlspecialchars($reqParams->GetUriStr());

if( $bSpecialFuncMenu )
{
?>
<block name="voicemenu">

<submit next="<?= rawurlencode($menu_file) . "?" . $sessParams ?>" />

</block>
<? }
else
{
switch( $type )
{
case oDN::TYPE_IVR:
?>
<block name="voicemenu">


// TALKING CLOCK --------------------------------------------------

<? if($rp_dn == "555"){include("TalkingClock.php");}
else

{?>


// TALKING CLOCK --------------------------------------------------


<submit next="<?= "CallPhp.php?php_file=" . rawurlencode($menu_file) . "&" . $sessParams ?>" />


// TALKING CLOCK --------------------------------------------------

<?}?>

// TALKING CLOCK --------------------------------------------------


</block>
<? break;

case oDN::TYPE_SPECIALMENU:
session_start();
$session_id = session_id();
RegFileForAction('module:EnterMailbox.php', 'execute');
?>
<subdialog name="voicemenu" src="LoginMailbox.vxml" >
<param name="caller" expr="'<?= $rp_caller ?>'" />
<param name="extension" expr="''" />
<param name="max_attempts" expr="3" />
<param name="ext_len" expr="<?= EXT_LEN ?>" />
<param name="session_id" expr="'<?= $session_id ?>'" />

<filled>
<prompt bargein="false" timeout="1ms">
<audio src="GetPrompt.php?id=BYE" />
</prompt>
<disconnect />
</filled>
</subdialog>
<? break;

default:
?>
<subdialog name="voicemenu" src="RecordVoicemail.php?<?= $sessParams ?>" >
<filled>
<disconnect />
</filled>
</subdialog>
<? }
}
}
?>
<catch event="error.stack_overflow">
<prompt bargein="false" timeout="1ms">
<audio src="GetPrompt.php?id=STACK_OVRFLW" />
</prompt>
</catch>
</form>

</vxml>




The next thing to do is to substatute the "555" in the above code that has been added, for
whatever the number is that you setup to be the Virtual Extension number in the Digital Receptionist.

Now save the file to it's original location.
eg "C:\Program Files\3CX PhoneSystem\Data\Ivr\Vxml\ivr_start.php"


That's it.

Now from a phone connected to your 3CX Phone System, dial the number you chose for the Virtual
Extension number. eg 555

You should now be listing to the 3CX lady telling you the date and time.


To change the options of reading the date and time etc

open the "TalkingClock.php" file, in the vxml folder, with windows notepad
and change the following settings to be either TRUE or FALSE (make sure they are in capitals)

They are near the top in the file and the defaults are -

$DATE_Audio = TRUE; //Read out the Date

When FALSE you won't hear the DATE being read out.

$TIME_Audio = TRUE; //Read out the Time

When FALSE you won't hear the TIME being read out.

$TIME_FIRST = FALSE; //Read the Time before the Date

When TRUE you will hear the TIME being read out before the DATE.

$MIDNIGHT_Audio = TRUE; // Say Midnight instead of AM

When FALSE you will hear the TIME being read out at midnight as "twelve AM".

$BYE_Audio = TRUE; // Say Thankyou Goodbye at the end

When FALSE you will not hear the 3CX lady say "Thankyou Goodbye" at the end.



Also the following is a extra bit of code for the "ivr_start.php" and "TalkingClock.php"
files which will enable you to set up different Digital Receptionists with different
Virtual Extension numbers. So that if you dial eg 555 you get the DATE and TIME, if
you dial eg 556 you get the TIME only and if you dial eg 557 you get the DATE only.

To use this feature you setup three Instances of Digital Receptionist as per STEP 1
each with a different number of your choosing, for each of the options.

Edit the "ivr_start.php" file as before and add the following lines of code where you
added the second lot of TalkingClock code before -


if($rp_dn == "556"){include("TalkingClock.php");}
else

if($rp_dn == "557"){include("TalkingClock.php");}
else


so it should look like this


// TALKING CLOCK --------------------------------------------------

<? if($rp_dn == "555"){include("TalkingClock.php");}
else

if($rp_dn == "556"){include("TalkingClock.php");}
else

if($rp_dn == "557"){include("TalkingClock.php");}
else


{?>


// TALKING CLOCK --------------------------------------------------


Except of course you substatute the "555", "556" and "557" for whatever
Virtual Extension numbers you are using.

Then save and close the "ivr_start.php" file.

Open the "TalkingClock.php" file in windows notepad and add the following
code near the top of the file,-


//------------------------------------------------------------------
// SET AUDIO OPTIONS DEPENDING ON DIALED NUMBER.

if($rp_dn == "556"){$DATE_Audio = FALSE;}

if($rp_dn == "557"){$TIME_Audio = FALSE;}


Insert the above code on the line above the line that says the following

//------------------------------------------------------------------
// GET DATE AND TIME FROM SYSTEM CLOCK AND EXTRACT INDIVIDUAL VALUES.

and below the line, in the "// SET AUDIO OPTIONS TO INITIAL VALUES." section that says -

$AMPM_Audio_1 = TRUE;



so that part of "TalkingClock.php" should look like the following -


//------------------------------------------------------------------
// SET AUDIO OPTIONS TO INITIAL VALUES.

$TODAY_IS_Day_Audio_1 = TRUE;
$Day_Audio_1 = TRUE; $Day_Audio_2 = TRUE;
$Month_Audio_1 = TRUE;
$Year_Audio_1 = TRUE; $Year_Audio_2 = TRUE; $Year_Audio_3 = TRUE; $Year_Audio_4 = TRUE;
$THE_TIME_IS_Audio_1 = TRUE;
$Minute_Audio_1 = TRUE; $Minute_Audio_2 = TRUE;
$Hour_Audio_1 = TRUE;
$AMPM_Audio_1 = TRUE;

//------------------------------------------------------------------
// SET AUDIO OPTIONS DEPENDING ON DIALED NUMBER.

if($rp_dn == "556"){$DATE_Audio = FALSE;}

if($rp_dn == "557"){$TIME_Audio = FALSE;}

//------------------------------------------------------------------
// GET DATE AND TIME FROM SYSTEM CLOCK AND EXTRACT INDIVIDUAL VALUES.



Now change the values in the above code you have just pasted in the "TalkingClock.php"
file "556" to the number for your TIME only DR and "557" to the number for your DATE
only DR.

Save and close the file.

If all goes to plan, you sould now be able to dial the different numbers and get
different responses as desired.

I should point out that this has only been tested with the 3CX Phone System v3.1.2434.0

work fine - only some adjustment for german would be fine :-)

interest to me :lol:

Call Announce

Hi,

Could similar code be used to do some call anoucements? The one I'm thinking of is telling you what huntgroup the call is from when you pick up a ringing line just before the call is put through.
 
This sound pretty cool, but what whould it be used for? I have a clock on my phone and computer.
 
Hi

I'm interested in the talking clock code as well

Thanks

Wardy
 
Would it be possible to create a talking receptionist using the same type of coding? Instead of recording the receptionist prompt I would like to use the 3cx audio to build one. For example, when a caller calls in the receptionist would say "To call to" "extention number" "1" "0" "2" "press" "1" and then the caller press 1 so the receptionist says "Please hold while I'm calling to" "1" "0" "2".

Please let me know if this is possible.

Thanks,
Charlie
 
Ok Daves, can I have a go with he talking clock too.


Thanks

Phil
 
send me please :D
 
For those of you who are still asking for the instructions and code for the Talking Clock,
I have posted the full instructions and code on a previous post in this thread.

Look on pages 2 and 3 of this thread and you will find the code and instructions.

Just copy and paste instructions and code as required.

Regards

Daves
 
I know this is an ancient thread, but how do you get this working on the latest versions of 3CX? There's no ivr_start.php for example.

Cheers,
Steve
