How to change the way public numbers are displayed in the interface

WARNING

Applies to VoipNow 3 and higher!

Most of you have already encountered this problem when trying to browse through the Reports > Call reports. You must have noticed that numbers get displayed as XX-XXX-XXXXXX. Although this is the default behavior, it can be annoying for those of you who prefer that numbers look like XXX-XXX-XXXXX or X-XXX-XXXXX, etc. This article describes how to change the way the DIDs are displayed in the interface.

Step-by-step guide

In order to change the DIDs' default behavior, follow the next steps:

• STEP 1: Edit the /usr/local/voipnow/admin/htdocs/language/en/interface.php file and instead of:

if (!defined('PHONE_NO_MASK')) {
    define('PHONE_NO_MASK', 'XXX-XXX-XXXXX');
}

Set for example (or any format you want):

if (!defined('PHONE_NO_MASK')) {
    define('PHONE_NO_MASK', 'XXXXXXXXXX');
}

Note that, if you are not using the English interface, you will need to edit the interface.php file from the language pack you are using, e.g. /usr/local/voipnow/admin/htdocs/language/fr/interface.php..

• STEP 2: As soon as you finish editing this file, you will need to restart the web interface using:

service voipnow restart
