XML Handler

FusionPBX allows for many of the FreeSWITCH XML configuration files can be generated on the fly from the FusionPBX database. Currently, the Dialplan and Directory configuration files can be completely replaced.

To enable this functionality:

XML not saved to the file system
Tell FusionPBX not to write XML configuration files for dialplans and extensions
 * Navigate to Advanced -> Default Settings
 * Under Switch, set dialplans and extensions to false

Remove the XML files
Remove the XML files in FreeSWITCH
 * Move or delete all XML files in conf/dialplans and conf/directory
 * Add an empty file (named empty.xml or such) to conf/dialplans and conf/directory

Configure Lua to use the xml_handler
Tell FreeSWITCH to load the dialplan and directory from lua
 * In conf/autoload_configs/lua.conf.xml, add:

on Debian this is located
 * In /etc/freeswitch/autoload_configs/lua.conf.xml

Restart FreeSWITCH
Now all dialplan and directory entries will be queried from the database via the lua handler script.
