[asterisk-users] parking lot

[Danny Nicholas]

Depending on hardware and number of parking lots, could hints be used to let
everyone know that a parking lot was just put into use by blind transfer?
(I have a PERL web interface that does this kind of check for 1.4 but that
probably wouldn't help OP).

Define 'failing'? Does the call not get parked?

If by 'failing' you mean that the parked channel is the one who hears the
parking lot number announcement, that's perfectly understandable when a
blind transfer is done to this extension. When this extension's code starts
executing after a blind transfer, the transferer's channel is *already
gone*; there is no way to announce the parking lot number to them.

The only solution here is to not announce the parking lot number at all if
the call was blind-transferred, but of course then nobody will know what
parking lot the call was parked in.
