asterisk users - Jun 2004 - *69

Hello,

I've managed to build in the "last number repeat" outlined at
http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+last+number+repeat to call back
the last person _I_ called from a particular phone, and now I'd like to
try to do something similar for the common *69 -- call back the last
number that called me.  I assume I'll do part of this in my standard
extension macro -- capturing the last callerid number that called a
particular extension, along w/some sort of dbput command.  Then in my
[apps], a *69 extension that grabs that info & dials it.  Anyone have an
example of such a configuration, or hints (i.e. what variable I'll catch
in my standard extension macro)?

Thanks!

How about just before you dial an extension you do a:
	DBput(LAST/${EXTEN}=${CALLERID_NUMBER})

and then *69 does a:
	DBget(dialNum=LAST/${CALLERID_NUMBER})

(from your extension) and you can dial it? I've never tried it, but 
that might be a simple starting point...

Here's what I've done--

In my extension macro:

exten=s,1,DBput(LastCIDNum/${DNID}=${CALLERIDNUM})	; grab
CALLERIDNUM & store it for the dialed number as LastCIDNum
exten=etc...

And in my [apps]:

; Return last call
exten => *69,1,DBget(temp=LastCIDNum/${CALLERIDNUM})	; read db value
LastCIDNum for this CALLERIDNUM (i.e. the extension making the call)
exten => *69,2,GotoIf($[${temp:0:3} = 208]?3:4)		; if it's area
code 208 (my local area), go to priority 3, otherwise priority 4
exten => *69,3,Macro(dialout,${temp:3})			; call my
dialout macro, stripping the 208
exten => *69,4,Macro(dialout,${temp})			; call my
dialout macro, using full string
exten => *69,103,Congestion					; no
key? congestion
exten => *69,104,Congestion					; no
key? congestion


Works like a friggin charm!

Should be this:

exten => *69,1,DBget(temp=LastCIDNum/${CALLERIDNUM})
exten => *69,2,GotoIf($[${temp:0:3} = 208]?3:4)
exten => *69,3,Macro(dialout,${temp:3})
exten => *69,4,Macro(dialout,${temp})
exten => *69,102,Congestion

Are your internal-to-internal calls handled seperately from
external-to-internal calls?

I see you are accounting for local versus ld calls, but what about when the
person in the next cube over calls you?

Also, what will happen if no Caller ID was supplied, or it was marked 
Private or Out-Of-Area?

Well, I have a dual-purpose asterisk setup -- hosted business pbx
services and residential services.

My dialout macro for residential services does this:

[macro-resdialout]
exten=s,1,DBput(RepeatDial/${CALLERIDNUM}=${ARG1})
exten=s,2,Dial(SIP/208${ARG1},120,rtT)
exten=s,3,Dial(${TRUNK}/9${ARG1},120,rtT)
exten=s,4,Busy

It first does some work for repeat dialing (not the *69 callback stuff),
moves on & tries to get a local sip client, then goes on to dial out the
trunk if there's no local sip client.

So far, I've not yet worked out the business version...
