[asterisk-users] extensions.ael - calling an exten from a macro

[Dean at INKnBITs]

Hi,

I'm trying to call an exten from inside extensions.ael, as below, ddi calls
ael and then ael needs to call the extensions.conf (8000 exten) for the call
queue.

Is this possible? Or is there an easier way to combine the exten 8000 to the
ael?

Thanks,
Dean.




ddi.conf
exten => _441234567890,1,Macro(queueexten-ael,8000)



extension.ael
macro queueexten-ael( ext ) {
        if ("${CALLERID(num):0:2}" = "44") {
                Set(CALLERID(num)=0${CALLERID(num):2});
        } else
                Set(CALLERID(num)=00${CALLERID(num)});
        Dial(8000); <------- don't know this bit!
}



extensions.conf
[8000]
; Forecourt Services Call Queue
include => daytime|8:00-18:00|Mon-Fri|*|*
include => night|18:00-8:00|Mon-Fri|*|*

[daytime]

exten => 8000,2,Set(CALLERID(NAME)=Forcourt Services)
