[asterisk-users] Adding DND to dialplan

[Bruce Reeves]

Brian,

DND is not real hard. You basicly want to to note the extension is set to
DND and then when someone calls that extension you check for DND status and
if it is yes then you go on to voicemail instead of dial. It sounds like you
are miss understanding the dialplan and how to use it. In your sample, do
the macros user-callerid and hangupcall exist? Do the sound files you
specified exist in var/lib/asterisk/sounds? A simple DND would look like so:

exten => *73,1,Answer()
exten => *73,n,Wait(0.5)
exten => *73,n,Set(DB(${CALLERID(number)}/DND)=1)
exten => *73,n,Playback(do-not-disturb)
exten => *73,n,Playback(enabled)
exten => *73,n,Hangup()

and then

When someone calls say extension 1000 I would have a macro check for :

exten => s,n,Set(DNDStatus=$["${DB(1000/DND)}" = "1"]) <= returns a 1 if
enabled or a 0
exten => s,n,GoToIf($[${DNDStatus} = 1]?DND)
exten => s,n(DND),Voicemail(1000 at default,u)
