[asterisk-users] Asterisk 1.6 and multiple parking

[Mike]

I know, I've done this with 1.4 manually with hint extensions.  But in 1.6
there is a parameter called parkinghints=yes that is supposed to set them up
automatically.  It certainly doesn't seem to be doing anything for me.

 

Thanks,

 

Mike

In 1.4 you set up the lots you want to monitor as hints; not sure how this
works in 1.6.

Here is my only question left about parkinglots in 1.6.  How does the
parkinghints=yes parameter work?

 

I've tried using "core show hints" , but there are never any hints. Even
when a call is actually parked in the correct parking lot.

 

Any tips?

 

Mike

Actually, I should simply have tried.  I did need to set
CHANNEL(parkinglot). I may have some more questions, but at least it's
working right now, and use my own custom extension to pickup the calls. So
basically I don't need to (or even can!)  include the parking context, I
need to setup the extensions myself.

 

For futur reference.

Hi,

 

Thanks, I thought I could find out about that without installing 1.6, but in
the end I did install it on a test server and it answered a few questions.
One thing though: I can park calls, in separate private lots, but I can
never pick them up again.  I have context = some_context defined in
features.conf (under the private parking lot) and an "include =>
some_context" at the right place, and when I park a call exten => 800 (thats
what I use) appears correctly.  

 

But I can't seem to pick it up, when I dial 800 it says "I am sorry there is
no call parked on that extension".

 

 

This is the relevant context when a call is parked. It clearly shows a call
being parked.

localhost*CLI> dialplan show parkingtest

[ Context 'parkingtest' created by 'features' ]

  '700' =>          1. Park()                                     [features]

  '800' =>          1. ParkedCall(800)                            [features]

 

And the features.conf snippet (everything else is default features.conf from
1.6):

 

[parkinglot_test]

context => parkingtest

parkpos => 800-805

findslot => next

 

 

What am I missing you think? I only set the CHANNEL(parkinglot) value when
parking the call. Do I need to set that value when picking up a call? (after
all, I have no accessz to extension 800 it is created by features.conf)

 

Regards,

 

Mike

Hello there

 

 

You should have a look at features.conf

Hi,

 

One of the big features of 1.6 was described as multi-tenant parking.
Basically, parking people in different "lots" so the sales dept. could only
pick up their calls, and tech support theirs and no mix up was possible.

 

I can only find the original announcement and others asking the same
question. Is there some sort of sample conf file of how I would get this
functionnal on the latest 1.6.x?

 

Regards,

 

Mike
