Is there a way to add parameters to a GUI-configured extension so they will NOT get overwritten everytime?

I have a situation where the username sent by a SIP device is not identical to the extension number I want to use in Asterisk, so I would have to add a "username=xxx" parameter to the extension definition, which is not possible in the GUI.

I saw a sip_custom.conf file once with a syntax like "[502]+", where 502 was an extension already defined by the GUI in sip_additional.conf, but I cannot find that example right now and am not sure of the exact syntax nor whether it really would work.

You can do that from the GUI

I just upgraded to the 2.5 RC, but can't find where in the 2.5 GUI I can add extra params for extensions ...

Figured it out

I don't know if this only works in SIP definitions (in other contexts the question of sequence would arise) but I defined my extension (i.e. 601) in the GUI and then added in sip_custom_post.conf a section which started,

[601](+)

where I put my "username=" parameter, and it worked.

Wolf, that is the correct

Wolf,
that is the correct place to add it and the reason that sip_custom_post.conf exists. For now I believe it is the only solution for such situations.

I have ran into the same

I have ran into the same problem my post is here

http://www.freepbx.org/forum/freepbx/users/how-to-use-the-custom-conf-fi...

But it does not seem to work for me.

for instance
context=from-internal
under the 100 extension remains unchanged.

Can you post your specific example to see how its done?

I see you have quotations around username=, are the quotations required?

How would I remove
would it be
[601](-)
"username=" myusername

Thanks.
