asterisk users - Oct 2010 - Modifying cid.cid_name in app_parkandannounce.c

Hi List,

I need to modify the callerID name of the call coming back when a parked
call returns to the extension that parked it when it times out.

Looking at app_parkandannounce.c

/* Now place the call to the extention */

        snprintf(buf, sizeof(buf), "%d", lot);
        memset(&oh, 0, sizeof(oh));
        oh.parent_channel = chan;
        oh.vars = ast_variable_new("_PARKEDAT", buf);
        dchan = __ast_request_and_dial(dialtech, AST_FORMAT_SLINEAR,
dialstr,30000, &outstate, chan->cid.cid_num, chan->cid.cid_name,
&oh);

I assume (I hope not incorrectly) that I have to modify the
variable chan->cid.cid_name


Could one of the Asterisk gurus point me in the right direction as to how to
do this?

Thanks in advance
Brian

Hello brian,

this depends on your asterisk version. below 1.8 you would be fine with
chan->cid.cid_name but to be honest use the buildin CALLERID(name)
function would be much easier than changing this by yourself. Or just
have a look how this function sets a calleridname.

with 1.8 or trunk it would be chan->caller.id.name.

there is also a asterisk-dev list to ask specially this questions which
depends on asterisk code itself ;)

best regards

stefan
