[Matt Hoskins]

Holy damn - I didn't know you could use templates in extensions!  Mind =
Blown.

(You may get more replies with a more 'on-target' subject. I lost interest
in 'block comments' but was curious why the thread was still getting
replies.)

Love templates. Use them in extensions.conf, sip.conf, and iax.conf every
day.

Here's an example from extensions.conf:

[party-line](digit-timeout,h,i,max-timeout,pound-main,s)
         same = n,                       agi(write-cdr)
         same = n,                       background(${PROMPTS-PATH}/0116)
 	...

Where the templates look like:

[digit-timeout](!)
         exten = t,1,                    goto(${CONTEXT},s,1)
[h](!)
         exten = h,1,                    goto(finish-call,h,1)
[i](!)
       	exten = i,1,                    goto(${CONTEXT},s,1)
[max-timeout](!)
         exten = T,1,                    goto(max-time,s,1)
[pound-main](!)
         exten = #,1,                    goto(main-menu,s,1)
[s](!)
         exten = s,1,
verbose(1,[${EXTEN}@${CONTEXT}!${ANI}])

Note that the 's' template has to be the last template specified in the
template list. Also, that '${EXTEN}@${CONTEXT}' makes for a quick
cut-n-paste into the 'dialplan show' CLI command.
