[asterisk-users] [External] [External] [External] [External] [External] Geo location 18.14.0-rc1 question

[Dan Cropp]

Thank you Joshua

rc2 resolved the issue I was seeing.

However, it sounds like it would be best for me to configure the location_info without the leading underscore for the variable name.

I am still running on asterisk 18.14.0-rc1 and have not retrieved the patches yet.
Did this version have a bug with the variables?

It's quite possible.  RC2 was just released so you should try that.

I’m trying the location_info and variables in the AMI Originate you recommended at the end of the previous e-mail.

In case it’s not coming through correctly via e-mail, the variable names are preceeded with a single underscore in the AMI and in the location_info values.


[IS_loc_5]
type = location
format = civicAddress
location_info = country=${_MY_GEO_COUNTRY}
location_info = A1=${_MY_GEO_NATIONAL_SUBDIVISION}
location_info = A2=${_MY_GEO_NATSUB}
location_info = A3=${_MY_GEO_CITY}
location_info = HNO=${_MY_GEO_HNO}
location_info = RD=${_MY_GEO_RD}
location_info = STS=${_MY_GEO_STS}
location_info = PC=${_MY_GEO_PC}

Underscore refers to variable inheritance. For usage you don't include the underscore. I don't think the code strips out the underscore when substituting or retrieving, so it could very well end up empty during that process.
