Oracle Support in Full Gear
Note:I welcome others to join the effort and I will provide some tablespace on an Oracle 10g database server to test and implement an Oracle driver for Drupal upon request
I have begun Oracle Support in full gear. After this, I plan to do the same with MS-SQL. I shall start to release my findings here. I am starting with some code from this ( http://drupal.org/node/39260 ) drupal thread. I'm testing against Oracle 10g.
I have installed Drupal 4.7.3, and I am using the database.oracle.inc, and database.oracle.sql very well. I have full funcitnality thus far.
Read moreVoxeo Prophecy IVR Integration
I just wanted to write a short wirte up of my Voxeo Prophecy IVR integration. First, a little bit about Voxeo and the need for it.
Information: http://community.voxeo.com
Prophecy: http://www.voxeo.com/prophecy/
A client had come to our company and they wanted an IVR system (Interactive Voice Response, think of that annoying 'computer' you talk to when you call a bank or business). They just wanted it to simply call their customers and remind them of an appointment. The first quote we got from a vendor was outrageous. We then looked at PhoneTree. They make a very nice system for a very nice price. However, it wasn't flexible enough for our clients needs. So, enter the Voxeo Prophecy server and Drupal. The Prophecy system is a fairly cheap IVR system. It reads CCXML, CallXML, and VXML as 'scripts' to run. Another nice point is that a 2 port system is free. Yes, you can download the system for free and install it on your local server and run it.
Read moreDrupal - Asterisk Integration Works
As far as I can tell, our site www.forestlake.ca is currently the only working example of asterisk drupal integration. I would love to be disabused of this notion, so if there are other working sites out there, please let us know.
At any rate you can read about the "Forest Lake Telephone Company" at this posting on drupal .org: http://drupal.org/node/59187 or you can just register and try it out on the forest lake site. Go to : http://forestlake.ca/forestlake/?q=node/466 for instructions on trying it out.
The good news in all this is that I have an asterisk server all ready and working with Drupal. If you want to install and test the asterisk integration module developed by Malthus, you can do so by downloading and installing the asterisk module (http://drupal.org/project/asterisk) on your site. (Important, as far as I know, the asterisk integration module only works so far on 4.6. I do not know what plans Malthus might have to upgrade).

Asterisk / Jingle / SIP infrastructure for Drupal and other o/s projects
We had a call using Skype conferencing today, and the experience wasn't that great for people running on Linux. It was pointed out that we should investigate using open solutions.
Here was the bulk of my post:
Read moreMore Databases
The issue of supporting more databases has been around for a while. It was rescently brought up today on the development thread. I personally think that more database support is needed also. The more flexilble that Drupal is, the healthier it is in general. My currently list to implement is MS-SQL, and then Oracle. This list is definatly going to grow, but I believe that those two are a good start.
Read moreHylafax Integration Started
I have started a Hylafax integration module. So far, so good. However, I am a little lost as to how I should handle the user authentication? Right now, I am considering attempting to keep the drupal users who are priviledged in sync with the faxusers on Hylafax. Hmm...perahps this should be seperate. Thoughts?
