[Asterisk-Users] Newbie - Voicemail Password Help

Hello All.

I'm just beginning with Asterisk and I have it all working now. I'm
using
Asterisk 1.0 RC1.

My only question is this; when I check my voice mail the PBX simply says
"password". I wanted to make it say "please enter your voice mail
password" so
I am using Background(pls-enter-vm-password). 

However now I hear "Please enter your voice mail password password"
when I
check my messages.

That's not a type-o. It says "password" twice.

Here is my extensions.conf file.

[macro-vmanswer]
                                                                               
                                              
exten => s,1,GotoIf($[${ARG1} = ${CALLERIDNUM}]?2:5)
exten => s,2,Background(pls-enter-vm-password)
exten => s,3,VoicemailMain(${ARG1})
exten => s,4,Hangup
exten => s,5,Voicemail(u${ARG1})
exten => s,6,Hangup

[default]
exten => 1002,1,Macro(vmanswer,1002)
                                                                               
                                                                               
                                                                               
            
The whole point of the vmanswer macro is to go to the voice mail main menu
automatically when calling from your own phone, otherwise it sends callers to
the voice mail system to leave a message. Perhaps there's a better way to do
this as well. If so, please let me know.

Regards,
Paul

Paul,
 
What you can do is modify the source code for the voicemail application. 
 
Edit line 3579 in /usr/src/asterisk/apps/app_voicemail.c. Change the file
'vm-password' to 'pls-enter-vm-password'.
 
Recompile and install.
 
Then in your macro remove the line that plays the
'pls-enter-vm-password' file.
 
Steve

You did not replace the existing prompt, but added a second prompt.  The
proper place to make this adjustment is in VoicemailMain, not in extensions.
Or find the password prompt sound file and just replace it with yours.

try ----

exten => xxx,1,VoicemailMain(${CALLERIDNUM)
exten => xxx,2,Hangup

for your voicemailmain extension.  this will recognize that your callerid if
you have a mailbox on the system.  note that your mailbox and your caller id
must match

alternatively, you could go into the /var/lib/asterisk/sounds directory and
rename the file "vm-password" to "old.vm-password" then
rename your file
"pls-enter-vmpassword" to "vm-password"

that way you would not have to alter the code at all.

The vm-password file is used else where, such as queues. If you changed
it, then you would change for all the other applications.

I guess, since we alter the source code often.. it's not that big of a
deal. We just create our own patch files and if we update from cvs, we
patch against the new source.

Why do that ? when you can simply replace the prompt file. Using your
method will need a recompile every time a different prompt needs to be
used.
