[asterisk-dev] Park patch to silence slot number

Tue Oct 3 21:14:26 CDT 2017

You can create dynamic lots with different contexts in the fly. You are 
actually parking at a context you just use an extension to identify access 
to the slot. If you have any identifying unique account info. Each lot is 
based on a parking lot context as a template. The lot name is dyanmically 
unique per lot. When you first create it. We use unified dialplan contexts 
for parking. We just augment our lots based on the account number for each 
client (prkAcctNumLotNum.SlotNym).  It is very flexible you can pass in all 
the parameters on the fly using a combination of special channel dynamic 
variables and options in the park and parked command. We even specify 
dynamic ring back contexts with parameters in them so ring backs can be 
directed correctly. And accounts can only ever pickup their lots.  We have 
customers with multiple parking lots all on the same account and the 
parking extensions are set in a database. The only limitation is you can't 
change the parking template context or shrink it once a lot is created 
without a restart of Asterisk. You can grow the number of parking slots 
dyanmically. 

The way we do this when you park directly on a slot the ring back time can 
be specified on a per slot basis as well. Customers love this.

 Hi Byrant,

Thank you for the reply (and voicemail). Are you referring to the patch by
Igor Goncharovsky? We had issues because it requires a different context
for each overlapping parking slot, and our multi-tenant environment 
doesn't
use a different context per tenant. What he said is below. However, we've
just noticed that Asterisk 13 has an 's' option on the Park command to
silence the slot number, so sorry for the trouble!

"It is the how parking works in core of asterisk. When call parked,
asterisk automatically put extensions for call park and for taking a call
from park. I.e. when you want to park two calls at same extension and same
context asterisk unable to do it, because unable to insert second time 
same
extension in dialplan. I see no problem in using different extensions 
range
for all parking lots in same context of using different contexts for all
users"
