[Asterisk-Users] Script routing Logic Question in .conf files

[mr. barker]

The question is in the logical route that asterisk takes when reading and
executing the scripts. Please see the (?) questions beside the lines.

The goal is not to comment the lines "exten => snip" in the [ext-local]
everytime that I make a change using the AMP GUI. Also it would be nice to
be able to give priority to the *_custom.conf if possible.

"Extensions_additional.conf"

[aa_1]
include => aa_1-custom
exten => 1,1,Goto(ext-local,7726258,1)	; 
exten => 2,1,Goto(ext-local,7726259,1)	; this take the call to the
[ext-local]
exten => 3,1,Goto(ext-local,7726257,1)	; 
exten => fax,1,Goto(ext-fax,in_fax,1)	;

[ext-local]

include => ext-local-custom ; ? should this not be held in priority first
over any of the contents in [ext-local] ?

exten => 7726257,1,Macro(exten-vm,7726257 at default,7726257)
exten => 7726258,1,Macro(exten-vm,7726258 at default,7726258)

? I am able to "monitor" the call if I comment the line out ? as it then
seems to go to the [ext-local-custom] located in the
"extentions_custom.conf" ?

;exten => 7726259,1,Macro(exten-vm,7726259 at default,7726259)

;exten => 7726259,1,SetVar(CALLFILENAME=${CALLERIDNUM})
;exten => 7726259,2,SetVar(CALLTIME=${DATETIME}) 
;exten => 7726259,3,SetVar(CALLPATH=/var/www/html/monitor/7726259) 
;exten => 7726259,4,Monitor(wav,${CALLPATH}/${CALLTIME}-${CALLFILENAME},m)
;exten => 7726259,5,DIAL(SIP/7726259,15,t)
;exten => 7726259,6,Macro(exten-vm,7726259 at default,7726259)

exten => 9873022,1,Macro(exten-vm,9873022 at default,9873022)

"extentions_custom.conf"

[ext-local-custom]
;test to see if this stays

exten => 7726259,1,SetVar(CALLFILENAME=${CALLERIDNUM})
exten => 7726259,2,SetVar(CALLTIME=${DATETIME}) 
exten => 7726259,3,SetVar(CALLPATH=/var/www/html/monitor/7726259) 
exten => 7726259,4,Monitor(wav,${CALLPATH}/${CALLTIME}-${CALLFILENAME},m)
exten => 7726259,5,DIAL(SIP/7726259,15,t)
exten => 7726259,6,Macro(exten-vm,7726259 at default,7726259)

extensions_additional.conf and extensions.conf are for
AMP only and should not be changed.
extensions_custom.conf is for user mods. There are
some default modes in there already. It is posible to
do almost anything from extensions_custom.conf because
as you noticed all of the AMP contexts have an include
like "include => ext-local-custom" to link them to
extensions_custom.conf
