[Asterisk-Users] [Fwd: Call forwarding]

[Andy Brezinsky]

One of our asterisk guys, Mike Bell, hacked this into our pbx by doing the 
following:

- Setup a file: /var/pbx/followme that is a tab delimited file with extension  
and forward_to in it. (Example: 1001	1414xxxxxxx)

- Change our default dial to an AGI script called dial.cgi
exten => _10XX,1,Agi(dial.agi,${EXTEN})
exten => _10XX,2,Hangup

- Write a perl script that checks for the extension in the /var/pbx/followme 
file and if it's there, dials that instead (checks to see if it should use a 
SIP or ZAP channel first)

-Add in hooks for *29 (remove) and *29{X*} (forward) to another number:

exten => *29,1,Answer
exten => *29,2,Agi(FollowMe.agi,${CALLERIDNUM})
exten => *29,3,Hangup

exten => _*29.,1,Answer
exten => _*29.,2,Agi(followMe.agi,${CALLERIDNUM},${EXTEN:3})
exten => _*29.,3,Hangup

- Write a followme.cgi script that is passed the callerid, and an optional 
offsite phone number.  If the offsite number is there, it is added/updated in 
the followme file, otherwise it's just deleted

Hope this helps
