How to solve CallerID crossover? Callee/Caller

Asterisk Asterisk General

I’m having difficult programming features.conf functions based in callerid info.

I have configured a function in features.conf that run a Macro(). That macro checks the CallerID num each time is executed.
If callerid is X do this, if callerid is Y, do this. etc… Check this:

Rob ------->call----------> Manuel
(201) (227)
In this call, Rob is the caller and Manuel is the callee, right? Ok!
So, in that case, the variable: ${CALLERID(num)} should display: 201. Right? Ok!

Now, check this out.
Rob ------->call----------> Manuel ---------> July
(201) (227) (2034)
In this call, Rob is the caller & Manuel is the callee.
Then Manuel transfer the call, so Manuel is now the caller and July is the callee.
So, in that case, the variable: ${CALLERID(num)} will display: 227 and NOT 201.

My question is: How can I keep Rob extension in the callerid without care if the call was transfered or whatever else?

Thanks.

Try using the ASTDB or a variable with scope.

The documentation for feature maps says:

[quote]; IMPORTANT NOTE: The applicationmap is not intended to be used for all Asterisk
; applications. When applications are used in extensions.conf, they are executed
; by the PBX core. In this case, these applications are executed outside of the
; PBX core, so it does not make sense to use any application which has any
; concept of dialplan flow. Examples of this would be things like [color=#FF0000]Macro[/color], Goto,
; Background, WaitExten, and many more.[/quote]

That means you are using macros at your own risk.

The application will be run on the channel that requested the feature. This may be the original callee.
