Ability to do DID-to-extension range mapping

Logged In: YES 
user_id=1174590

this sounds pretty complex (as far as putting into a web
interface), because theres just so many possibilites..

It's still an easy thing to do but i'd suggest doing it in
ext-did-custom

exten => 40312345XX,1,Macro(exten,vm,${EXTEN:6})

I think this is better handled by assinging the DID to the user/extension in the same way you can assing a CID to the user/extension. This is the logical place where information for unique to a user/extension is placed and the DID is just one more piece. I have made that modification to freebpx on the page.user.php and page.extension.php pages and added the additional code needed in functions.inc.php (for core) as well as a modification to the extenions.conf. It also adds a DID field in the users table. I'll be getting this in within the next couple of day for review.

I think this would be a one-off thing. You'd create the xtns, and then run a script that populates the DIDs if they're not already set. It wouldn't be a configuration option.

my opinion on this is that it is already half there with the direct did functionality.

There have been other request for 'bulk extension loads' to do bulk provisioning. I would think that adding such functionality (import from excel spreadsheet for example) would suffice to do the next step, since the direct did can be included there.

I think once both of these are covered, the remaining cases will be corner cases and not worth trying to do anything for. (So I would suggest closing this one since directdids are already implemented and bulk extension loading is already requested elsewhere)

I'm taking this out of the 2.2 milestones. It's really quite difficult to do as a global setting (no, really, it is 8). It's still something that, I'm sure, people WILL want, so I'll leave it here as something for someone to do.

(Note - this will be quite EASY to do with asterisk 1.4 and TryExten?() - it'll probably happen then)
