[Asterisk-Users] How to do Call Forwarding

[Ben Higley]

This is a portion of my extensions..

i have also in my mysql db extensions table a
exten => _*23.,1,SetVar(CF_DEST=${EXTEN:3} )
exten => _*23.,2,Noop(Call forwarding to ${CF_DEST} for exten:
${CALLERIDNUM})


then write that value into the database, for that extension that is
calling, ${CALLERIDNUM}



[macro-dial-call-forwarding-number]
exten => s,1,SetCallerID(${CALLERIDNUM:1})
;if the password is balnk then just use the TECHNOLOGY/PROVIDER_USER_NAME
exten => s,2,GotoIf($["${LD_PROVIDER_PASSWORD}" = ""]?3:6)
exten =>
s,3,Dial(${LD_PROVIDER_TECHNOLOGY}/${LD_PROVIDER_USERNAME}@${LD_PROVIDER_NAME}/${ARG1}|${CALL_FWD_TIMEOUT}|mtT)
exten => s,4,Goto(s|7)
exten => s,5,Hangup
exten =>
s,6,Dial(${LD_PROVIDER_TECHNOLOGY}/${LD_PROVIDER_USERNAME}:${LD_PROVIDER_PASSWORD}@${LD_PROVIDER_NAME}/${ARG1}|${CALL_FWD_TIMEOUT}|mtT)
exten => s,7,Cepstral("The calling party did not answer, and has no
mailbox, please try your call again later, thank you")
exten => s,8,Congestion
exten => s,9,Hangup

[macro-check-for-call-forwarding]
exten => s,1,NoOp(Looking up forward for exten: ${ARG1})
exten => s,2,NoOp
exten => s,3,MYSQL(Connect connid ${MYSQL_HOST} ${MYSQL_USER}
${MYSQL_PASS} ${MYSQL_DB})

;set the select so that feature_id=1 (call_forwarding) and status=1 (enabled)
exten => s,4,MYSQL(Query resultid ${connid} select\ data\ from\
extension_features\ where\ extension='${ARG1}'\ AND\ feature_id='1'\ AND\
status='1')
exten => s,5,MYSQL(Fetch foundRow ${resultid} number) ; fetch row
exten => s,6,GotoIf($["${foundRow}" = "1"]?7:9) ; leave loop if no row found
exten => s,7,NoOp(${number})
exten => s,8,Set(CF_DEST=${number})
exten => s,9,Macro(disconnect-mysql|${resultid}|${connid})
exten => s,10,MacroExit
