Summary:                    [branch] Receiving Text from res_jabber
Description: 
Hello,

So far, chan_gtalk sends text to GTalk clients only. There is no way to
hear input from them which limit us a lot.

It will be awesome if we are able to receive text from GTalk users, to
provide extra services such as:

1) Voice menus. The user can select menus by sending corresponding keys
2) Or, "text" menus by which the chan_gtalk replies by text messages
instead of voice

I am glad that phsultan thought about it, however very disappointed that
it was canceled.

blitzrage: you don't even need to have a GoogleTalk client to test the
JABBER_RECEIVE function, a regular XMPP client without any media capability
can be used. Here is a dialplan example, that allows the user
bob at jabber.org to interact with Asterisk when a call comes to extension
1234 :

context from-ext {
  1234 => {
    Answer();
    JabberSend(asterisk-xmpp,bob at jabber.org,Call from $CALLERID(num) -
choose an option to process the call);
    JabberSend(asterisk-xmpp,bob at jabber.org,1 : forward to cellphone);
    JabberSend(asterisk-xmpp,bob at jabber.org,2 : forward to work phone);
    JabberSend(asterisk-xmpp,bob at jabber.org,Default action : forward to
your voicemail);
    Set(OPTION=${JABBER_RECEIVE(asterisk-xmpp,bob at jabber.org,20)});
    switch (${OPTION}) {
      case 1:
        JabberSend(asterisk-xmpp,bob at jabber.org,(Calling cellphone...);
        Dial(SIP/987654321);
        break;
      case 2:
        JabberSend(asterisk-xmpp,bob at jabber.org,(Calling workphone...);
        Dial(SIP/${EXTEN});
        break;
      default:
        Voicemail(${EXTEN}|u)
    }
  }
}

If you have a media capable XMPP client (ex. GoogleTalk), you can use the
CALLERID(name) variable content along with the SendTextJABBER_RECEIVE
application/function to chat with the end user. In the following example, a
user establishes a voice call from his GoogleTalk client to Asterisk, and
Asterisk asks him to enter an extension number that it will furtherly call
:
context gtalk-in {
  s => {
    NoOp(Caller id : ${CALLERID(all)});
    Answer();
    SendText(Please enter the number you wish to call);
    Set(NEWEXTEN=${JABBER_RECEIVE(asterisk-xmpp,${CALLERID(name)})});
    SendText(Calling ${NEWEXTEN} ...);
    Dial(SIP/${NEWEXTEN);
    Hangup();
  }
}
