asterisk users - Mar 2004 - Night menu not working

Hi all,

I am trying to get day and nighttime menus to work in * and no matter what
time I specify the first include entry that matches the number dialed is
used.  I have included my extentions.conf and my sip phones have a default
context of default.

Many people find that using the application GotoIfTime in the dialplan
logic is more intuitive.  Try that.

These suggestions may not help get your daytime stuff working, but it
should make life easier later.

Make the following section it's own context and have it included in the
above section.

The below section probably needs to be defined in a section that can be
included in both daytime and nighttime. You may want to call afterhours
to access your voicemail.

Maybe this should be included in the above mentioned newly needed
section for your extensions.

Seems you are missing the days of month and months arguments there.
Also, you would probably want to conditionally include nighttime also.
