[Asterisk-Users] macro-dial

[Mimmus]

Hi,
I digged in dialparties.agi and found that apart from DND, hunt-group,
status, etc its main function is looking up real device(s) for any user from
AstDB. In fact, AMP/FreePBX keep a long list of entries in AstDB for any
device/user.

I'm interested in knowing how people on this list manage link between an
extension and the real device (SIP, Zap, etc).

Thanks

	It's not that simple. dialparties is fundamental to the whole
dialplan in AMP/freepbx and accomplishes a lot of the features such as hunt
groups, DND, etc. And extensions are not necessarily what you think they are
either. If you don't like it, you'd probably be better off writing your own
dialplan or alternatively, rewrite it's entire functionality outside of an
agi and then submit the mod to freepbx to streamline freepbx more.

	Hi,
	I'm trying to edit an AMP-derived dialplan: the macro "dial" uses
the AGI
	script "dialparties.agi" to find the extension to call.
	I'd like to drop this script: does anyone can explain me what is its
main
	job?
	
	Thanks
