Transfer to Voice Mail

George,

Here is the line from my /etc/asterisk/extensions.include

exten => _8.,1,Macro(tl-transfer-to-voicemail,1,u,) ; Transfer Directly to Voicemail

I use 8+ext

I would bet you don't have a "2" in the 'Voicemail prefix length (default 1)' field.

If you look at my output:

Specifically:

Executing [8104@from-inside-redir-Acme:1] Macro("SIP/102-Acme-b71019f0", "tl-transfer-to-voicemail|1|u|") in new stack

You have:

Executing [*6301@from-inside-redir-axint:1] Macro("SIP/401-axint-a002fb70", "tl-transfer-to-voicemail|u||") in new stack

Notice the two pipes after voicemail.

Another nice thing is that you can dial it directly, you don't have to go through the hassle of doing a transfer.

Hey Matt,

Thanks a lot Matt, seeing your code I found the problem..

I had the u on the wrong line which caused the problem..

yours - tl-transfer-to-voicemail,1,u,)

mine - tl-transfer-to-voicemail|u||

so the one (default) was over written voiding out the command..

working perfectly now

questions though, whats changing the voicemail prefix length from 1 to 2 do..?

funny how you can look at something 20 times and not see the simplest of things causing a problem..

Thanks Again

George

Glad you got it working.

If a field only has numeric values, there should be a drop down box to help validate inputs.

tl-transfer-to-voicemail,X,u,)

The X must be passed to the script. Judging from the interface, if nothing is passed it must assume a value of 1.

B/c you had a 'u' in that field I figured you didn't a numeric value in the GUI.

I still want Alex or someone to do a screen cast on how to edit/create the scripts. I bet fixing the caller-ID issue with FMFM would be simple for someone that was an expert in the scripts.

I've been totally overloaded lately, but you will see some nice new features in Thirdlane PBX soon.

Once I have a bit more time I would like to do a webinar /questions and answers session on more of an in depth use of Thirdlane PBX and scripts in particular.

Please send me the topics you would like covered. Hopefully we could also record some of that and create a screencast, etc.

Alex,

Look forward to the new features.

I will send you some topics that I would like to see covered.

Aloha,

MAtt
