ok, ok, here’s a call-forward app from an ol A@H install :

[app-callforward] ; dialed call forward app - forwards calling extension exten => _*72.,1,NoOp(Setting up CallForward Unconditional) exten => _*72.,2,DBput(CF/${CALLERIDNUM}=${EXTEN:3}) exten => _*72.,3,Answer exten => _*72.,4,Wait(1) exten => _*72.,5,Playback(call-fwd-unconditional) exten => _*72.,6,Playback(for) exten => _*72.,7,Playback(extension) exten => _*72.,8,SayDigits(${CALLERIDNUM}) exten => _*72.,9,Playback(is-set-to) exten => _*72.,10,SayDigits(${EXTEN:3}) exten => _*72.,11,Macro(hangupcall) ; prompting call forward app - forwards entered extension exten => *72,1,Answer exten => *72,2,Wait(1) exten => *72,3,BackGround(please-enter-your) exten => *72,4,Playback(extension) exten => *72,5,Read(fromext,then-press-pound) exten => *72,6,Wait(1) exten => *72,7,BackGround(ent-target-attendant) exten => *72,8,Read(toext,then-press-pound) exten => *72,9,Wait(1) exten => *72,10,DBput(CF/${fromext}=${toext}) exten => *72,11,Playback(call-fwd-unconditional) exten => *72,12,Playback(for) exten => *72,13,Playback(extension) exten => *72,14,SayDigits(${fromext}) exten => *72,15,Playback(is-set-to) exten => *72,16,SayDigits(${toext}) exten => *72,17,Macro(hangupcall) ; cancels dialed extension call forward exten => _*73.,1,DBdel(CF/${EXTEN:3}) exten => _*73.,2,Answer exten => _*73.,3,Wait(1) exten => _*73.,4,SayDigits(${EXTEN:3}) exten => _*73.,5,Playback(call-fwd-cancelled) exten => _*73.,6,Macro(hangupcall) ; cancels call forward for calling extension exten => *73,1,NoOp(Cancelling CallForward) exten => *73,2,DBdel(CF/${CALLERIDNUM}) exten => *73,3,Answer exten => *73,4,Wait(1) exten => *73,5,Playback(call-fwd-cancelled) exten => *73,6,Macro(hangupcall) ; dialed call forward on busy app - forwards calling extension when busy exten => _*90.,1,NoOP(Setting up CallForward on Busy) exten => _*90.,2,DBput(CFB/${CALLERIDNUM}=${EXTEN:3}) exten => _*90.,3,Answer exten => _*90.,4,Wait(1) exten => _*90.,5,Playback(call-fwd-on-busy) exten => _*90.,6,Playback(for) exten => _*90.,7,Playback(extension) exten => _*90.,8,SayDigits(${CALLERIDNUM}) exten => _*90.,9,Playback(is-set-to) exten => _*90.,10,SayDigits(${EXTEN:3}) exten => _*90.,11,Macro(hangupcall) ; cancels call forward on busy for calling extension exten => *91,1,NoOp(Cancelling CallForward on Busy) exten => *91,2,DBdel(CFB/${CALLERIDNUM}) exten => *91,3,Answer exten => *91,4,Wait(1) exten => *91,5,Playback(call-fwd-on-busy) exten => *91,6,Playback(de-activated) exten => *91,7,Macro(hangupcall) exten => h,1,Hangup

i use asterisk 1.2.7.1, will this code supported in my version of asterisk ?

no reason it shouldn’t - instead of asking, you could just copy/paste, reload, and see for yourself…

if i remember correctly, it’s originally from Asterisk@Home 1.4 !! as whoiswes said, there’s nothing in there that’s particularly special.

you probably want to replace anything that says Macro(hangupcall) with HangUp()

Hi.

Thats the code for storing the Database entries in the Old, Now dericiated 1.0 format.

The tricky bit is getting the call to be handled correctly in the macro.

for example

we have users a b and c

for example b forwards to c

a calls b which rings c which doesnt answer and it should then go to b’s voicemail not c’s which depending on how the macro is done it wont. It gets even more compicated when you have to consider transfered calls.

Then handling chains is even more knarly

apart from Asterisk 1.2.7 we have no idea what kind of setup you have.

if you wanted to use the dialplan section i posted above, it goes in extensions.conf and needs to be "include"d in the context that your internal extensions begin in.

you’ll also need to modify extensions.conf so that the dialplan checks the ASTDB for the extension you’re calling and calls the right extension if CF is set.

ians a,b,c scenario isn’t one i’ve considered before, but i like it. the ability to set where a VM goes in the event of an unanswered CF call is a nice touch. but that’s where it gets more complicated than just cut&paste.
