findmefollow problem with extensions 0-leaded

I tried to modify grpnum data tipe from bigint to varchar 255 with no difference There must be something also in the php code itself stripping leading zero

After modifying vartype for grpnum I inserted a new follow me setting for 05810 and a 5810 was inserted. Then I manually modify the record changing 5810 into 05810. I make a little modify to an extension in order to get the red bar and as I pressed it the extensio_additional.conf was OK, with the entry for 05810. I tried a call and I succesfully have all the extensions ringing. So the solution could be: 1) modify vartype of grpnum 2) modify the php page in order not to remove the leading zero

Can anybody give me an advice on how to perform this second task ?

thanks, Andrea

I found this solution: 1) modify vartype to varchar 2) edit ...amp/admin/modules/findmefollow/functions.inc.php modify function findmefollow_add in this way:

$sql = "INSERT INTO findmefollow (grpnum, strategy, grptime, grppre, grplist, annmsg, postdest, dring, needsconf, remotealert, toolate, ringing, pre_ring) VALUES ('".str_replace("'", "", $grpnum)."', '".str_replace("'", "", $strategy)."', ".str_replace("'", "", $grptime).", '".str_replace("'", "", $grppre)."', '".str_replace("'", "", $grplist)."', '".str_replace("'", "", $annmsg)."', '".str_replace("'", "", $postdest)."', '".str_replace("'", "", $dring)."', '$needsconf', '$remotealert', '$toolate', '$ringing', '$pre_ring')";

(simply doing for the first value what is done with the other varchar valus)

It seems to me to perfectly solve my problem, but it's probably one of the first times I look at a php source so.....

I would like to know if this solution is acceptable and if it is it could be inserted into a future release of find me follow module

I didn't ear anything more about this. What is the situation ? Will be changed in next release of the module ? Or am I the only having extensions with leading zero on follow me ?

thanks, Andrea

FYI, I thought I'd let you know that something is happening with this.

This issue is currently being discussed as some design decisions on how to handle leading "0's" is at issue that may affect how a patch/fix/workaround is applied.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

There were many more changes then listed above, if you have implemented this on a release prior to 2.3, you should review the additional changes or upgrade to 2.3 when you are ready to get the changes.
