Using the latest FreePBX distro (10.13.66-12) and I have been noticing something I just don't get.
Commercial Modules that require a license to function: Do these do ANYTHING other than provide useless GUI menus and confusion. System Administration module would be an exception as the Commercial License enables additional features. I saw a couple other Commercial modules that do not state they require anything at all to function and do not show the "Buy"
button (Zulu would be one).I am only using softphones with my installation so some of the other modules like OSS and EndPoint manager are fairly useless to me (unless I am missing something). I use the Bulk Phone Restart module, but every single update script barks about this or that not updating because of this or that module.
For me I am removing all commercial modules that require a license to run, or when you go to their UI within FreePBX you get a message indicating - no license, no workie.
There's more and these dependencies would be nice to know in advance. I am not afraid of doing a little RTFM, but I am not finding what I am looking for on the documentation WIKI. If anyone can point me in a direction this is what I am looking for:
Module Administration Best Practices - Disable, Enable, Remove. When and why per module. I'm not worried about disk space or running a lean system, I just don't/can't use certain default modules, I get it all setup and the update script puts it all back
Module Dependency Mapping - Which Modules Require Which other Modules. If a "free" module depends on a commercial module and the commercial module requires a license, is the free module actually working?
I am not necessarily looking for specific answers to my thoughts here, I am hoping someone out there understands the general idea of what I mean here.
Thank you for your help in advance.
