INFO*_URL

INFO*_URL specifies the action for a custom button.

The softphone supports up to 10 custom buttons: INFO_URL, INFO2_URL, INFO3_URL, ... INFO9_URL and HISTORY_URL

When user clicks on a custom button it is possible to do one of following actions:

• Open specific web-page in an external browser (for example, http://www.example.com/rates.html)
  
• Open local html file in an external browser (for example, local help file file:///C:/help.html)
  
• Start third-party application
• Show Settings dialog
• Show Login dialog
• Initiate outgoing call to specified number (for example, technical support number)

Position of custom buttons and their pictures are defined inside skin file (*.smf). Read details here.

But action for custom button is specified in installer-brand.nsi file.

Each of buttons is identified by ID (which is specified inside skin file), see below table.

Some of available skins have only one custom button defined. Others have more custom buttons.
