Herold Austria combined Yellow & White Pages URL search

[charles-darwin]

The Herold Business URL (Yellow Pages) somehow blocks any URL requests...whereas (thanks to lgaetz) the White Pages work fine.

I found a workaround: There is a Herold webinterface for mobile devices and this URL works http://www.herold.mobi/suche/was_telefon_/

The beauty is that it is a combined search (Herold White & Yellow Pages Austria).

Here's an example for Yellow: http://www.herold.mobi/suche/was_01313390/

...and here for White: http://www.herold.mobi/suche/was_0800222666/

Here`s the page with limited english support ;-) http://www.herold.mobi/suche/was_01313390/?lang=en

Well, the text doesn't say anything about reverse lookup to display the callers name on an asterisk phone system, does it? ...and it's the .mobi version, which is only used by Iphone & Ipad lovers ;-)

By the way, Auerswald.de has been offering Herold.at lookups for years. It's part of their software in the e.g. Compact 5020 telephone systems. Screenshot of the web interface is attached.

[lgaetz]

Updated version ready for testing. Business and residential lookups working now.

[charles-darwin]

Thank you very much, lgaetz!!! I put a new source-Herold-Austria.module file containing the new code into the superfecta/sources folder. However, I don`t get results anymore. It might be my fault... Here's the log for a number which worked with the previous version, but not anymore

<<< debug output removed for brevity >>>

[charles-darwin]

Ok...just realized that it was MY MISTAKE!!! I somehow lost the format during the copy procedure. There were no line intents... Sorry for the false alarm ;-)

Thank you so much for developing this wonderful new feature! :-) :-) :-)

[charles-darwin]

Just one last thing... The description in the Herold_Austria file contains a reference to open79xx.

* Developer Notes:
* Open79xx is an OSS project that provides an XML contact list for Cisco 79XX phones
* and with a web GUI.
* See http://sourceforge.net/projects/open79xxdir/ for project details

It could be removed.

[lgaetz]

Comment block fixed, and some posts to this thread trimmed or deleted to clean up.

[tm1000]

I put the TOS here for @lgaetz to read and make his own assumptions. Democracy and all. :-)

[lgaetz]

My interpretation is that Superfecta use is permitted. Agree/disagree?

[tm1000]

I would agree yes.

[charles-darwin]

I would agree too ;-)

I realized that the Herold Austria module stopped working. I am no pro, but I added two small changes and I think it works now. Tested it with Yellow & White Pages number. Here is the updated code, since I cannot upload the file. I changed:

$res_rul = "http://www.herold.mobi/suche/was_$thenumber/";

and

'~<b>1.</b> <a data-clickpos=".*?" href=".*?">(.+?)</a>    </h2>~',  // 2014-07-02 working for residential and business from mobi links

Herold-Austria (www.herold.mobi) changed the code. It does not work anymore :-(
