We wrote and submitted a patch to do this. Just modify app_directory.c
and recompile. It adds a new flag "b" to the directory( ) app where you
can have it use both first and last name.
-= Info about application 'Directory' =-
[Synopsis]
Provide directory of voicemail extensions
[Description]
Directory(vm-context[|dial-context[|options]]): This application will
present
the calling channel with a directory of extensions from which they can
search
by name. The list of names and corresponding extensions is retrieved
from the
voicemail configuration file, voicemail.conf.
This applicaiton will immediate exit if one of the following DTMF
digits are
received and the extension to jump to exists:
0 - Jump to the 'o' extension, if it exists.
* - Jump to the 'a' extension, if it exists.
Parameters:
vm-context - This is the context within voicemail.conf to use for the
Directory.
dial-context - This is the dialplan context to use when looking for an
extension that the user has selected, or when jumping
to the
'o' or 'a' extension.
Options:
f - Allow the caller to enter the first name of a user in the directory
instead of using the last name.
b - Allow the caller to enter the first name OR last name of a user in
the directory.
