<p><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">I'm using asterisk realtime to control all of my
extensions. As part of this I need to be able to dynamically create new
contexts and extensions. The new contexts I create will also include existing
contexts. Does anybody know the how to specify context inclusion for asterisk
realtime as the database only has colums for id, context, exten, priority, app
and appdata. </span></font></p></div></blockquote></div><br>
You can't. Since those other contexts are in the database, why
not just select them and then insert them into the newly created
context?<br>
<br>
Or better yet dump realtime and generate extensions.conf from your own
database schema. You could even use the realtime schema
with just a couple of extra fields for things like include files, that
way you dont' have to throw away the work you have already done.<br>
<br>
Asterisk doesn't handle database failures very well. Maybe it's
been fixed now, but for instance a dialplan reload used to wipe out
your whole dialplan if the database was down instead of just skipping
the reload. I spent quite a bit of time writing an application
for ARA at one point, only to toss it all out after seeing how it
actually worked. I still think it's a good idea, and I
don't mean to disparage those who put all the work into it, but it's
implementation leaves something to be desired.<br>
