YAC Caller ID script

  • this is a sweet ass script. i was just wondering how hard it would be to make a list of recognized phone numbers and display a picture of the person or something rather than just the number. that would be pretty cool, unfortunately i don't know python, although i could do it if someone can point me to a good python site, assuming what im asking can be done.


  • also...how do you actually configure it?


  • i'd also like to say thanks for this excellent script! very sweet indeed! :bowdown:

    but i've got a quick question that one of you might be able to help me out with... for some reason when i get a call, my modem won't display the phone number - just the name of the person calling. i'm using yac and have been thinking of possibly trying out callerid sentry, but i think it may actually be a problem with a setting for the modem. have any of you come across this or would know how i could go about getting yac to display both the name & number?

    thanks


  • a good reason as any :d too bad i just found out the hard way my modem wont display caller id :( it would have been fun to have


  • everything works now... when i updated the site, the zip file didn't upload properly, but it has now been fixed


  • he didn't have the code up til i posted that. but it does all work great.


  • ok, i cant get it to work...do you have the newest stuff on the site, cause i dont see where you look for the jpgs in the code...but again i dont know python.


  • the code is there.

    filename = 'q:\\scripts\\yac\\' + filename + '.jpg'

    make sure that it is in your yac folder from what i can tell.

  • it will only work with the dial-up modem, but the modem just basically sits dormant, listening to the phone ring (does not need to connect to anything).


  • i need a step by step on how to issue commands to my modem so i can enable the caller id feature in it.
    anyone can help me in this area?


  • the download site seems to be down. anyone that can post another url to this exciting script ?

    *edit. never mind. found it. thou the name was callerid.zip and not yac2.zip


  • i have a couple of questions about this...

    1) would this work on an adsl modem, or just a dial-up?
    if yes...
    2) would it work if i am using a router, or only if i am directly connected to the modem.
    if no...
    3) would it require the dialup modem to be connected to the internet or anything (i am assuming no (it would be kind of pointless), but i would like a confirmation!)

    i have both as my dialup modem is built onto my motherboard. i have it disabled as i never use it. if this will work with an adsl modem then that would be great. if not, i think it's cool enough to warrent installing the modem.


  • i have now implemented this in the newest version of my yac script.

  • you had it done or you did it because i asked?


  • i did it because you asked :)

    all you need to do is place a [phonenumber].jpg file for each number in the yac/ directory.

    [phonenumber] is the phone number as it displays (possibly 7, 10, 11 digits) without any extra characters like spaces or hyphens.


  • there's a link on my callerid page for a cheap modem (like $6)


  • i'd like to say thank you for this script. its excellent!

    one further enhancement that i think would be really useful is if it could work with "yactextsend for windows" part of the yac server (by jensen harris) functionality. currently if you send a text message through it, it crashes the script and stops it receiving any more caller id messages.

    is it possible to add this functionality (or at the least to stop it crashing the script), or would it be too out of context for what the script is intended to do?


  • lovely, cheers!


  • something that would be cool (although should perhaps be part of the server end of things) would be to do a lookup on the number against an ldap server.

    imagine this would be relatively simple to do in python. pity ldap doesn't support storing images of the contact too.

  • so your images are working now?

  • sorry, ya.. i changed the name to callerid instead of yac because i have made it support other servers than just yac.
