style="FONT-FAMILY: times new roman,new york,times,serif"><FONT size=3>Hi
all,<BR><BR>with r76801 the application queue was patched to now include a
variable membercount to keep track of the number of queue members.<BR><BR>As
Michelson noted in the changelog - as a side effect the QUEUE_MEMBER_COUNT
function did also changed to return the number of members regardless of their
state.<BR><BR>I think that may people still want to use the old method, to get
the real member count (members which are logged on). (we are one of those
peoples....)<BR><BR>In my opinion there are 3 values which are from
interest<BR> - the complete member count (as it gets now
returned by QUEUE_MEMBER_COUNT)<BR> - the logged in member
count (as QUEUE_MEMBER_COUNT did it before the change)<BR> -
the free member count (how many logged in members do not have a call)<BR>There
are two possible ways to implement this<BR> - Create an own
function for each value of interest (QUEUE_MEMBER_COUNT,
QUEUE_AVAILABLE_MEMBERS, QUEUE_FREE_MEMBERS)<BR> - Add a
parameter to the QUEUE_MEMBER_COUNT function to control which value it should
return (no parameter = current behaviour, parameter l = old behaviour,
parameter f = only free members)<BR><BR></FONT><SPAN

class=743021313-05092007><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>Personally, I
think the last one is the closest. However, I would rather see it
implemented as a function QUEUE_MEMBER which will take parameters COUNT,
AVAILABLE, and FREE (like how CALLERID takes NUM, NAME,
etc.).</FONT></SPAN></SPAN></FONT></DIV>
