Function: GetUserNameFromExtension

This post is taken from the Swyx Forum Archive (2007-2014) and was originally posted 10.08.2010 by me

 

The following function returns the user name from a given extension.

It makes use of the PBXConfig object which is fully described in the following Swyx knowledgebase article:

• Request configuration and user data (incl. user status) within an Extended Call Routing script (kb2910)

Please note that it is not necessary to instantiate the PBXConfig object yourself, as it is already available in the global variable g_PBXConfig.
To use the function within your call routing script just copy&paste it into the "Start" block.

Function GetUserNameFromExtension(ByVal sExtension)
	PBXScript.OutputTrace "------> GetUserNameFromExtension ( " & sExtension & " )"
	 
	On Error Resume Next

	Dim sReturn
	sReturn = ""

	Dim oUSers
	Set oUsers = g_PBXConfig.GetUserByAddress(sExtension)
	If Err <> 0 Then
		PBXScript.OutputTrace "ERROR getting user from IpPBxSrv.PBXConfig object!"
		PBXScript.OutputTrace "ERROR: " & CStr(Hex(Err)) & " - " & Err.Description
		Exit Function
	End If
	 
	Dim oUser
	For Each oUser In oUsers
		PBXScript.OutputTrace "Name: " & oUser.Name
		sReturn = oUser.Name
	Next
	 
	GetUserNameFromExtension = sReturn

	PBXScript.OutputTrace "sReturn = " & sReturn
	PBXScript.OutputTrace "<------ GetUserNameFromExtension"
End Function
