I am trying to make a system where a conference user can invite others
to join. I am running the 1.2 version of asterisk, so can't use the
example on voip-info.org.
With use of the X flag on a meetme conference to exit with a single
digit, I can get people to join me in a conference with
exten =>
_XXX,1,Dial(${THEIR_EXTEN},,dG(conference-context^${CALLERID}^1))
where the conference-context has a something like this
[conference-context]
exten => _XXX,1,MeetMe(${EXTEN},XMsa)
exten => _XXX,2,MeetMe(${EXTEN},Ms)
The problem with that approach is that you never get to talk to the
called party and ask whether they want to join the conference or not.
So I thought I would take another approach and try change the Dial
statement
exten => _XXX,1,Set(GOTO_ON_BLINDXFER=conference^${CALLERID}^2)
exten => _XXX,2,Dial(${THEIR_EXTEN},,dTg)
exten => _XXX,3,GoTo(conference-context,${EXTEN},1)
Now, when I blind xfer the user he goes straight into the conference.
Unfortunately, the g flag - which should mean I carry on down the dial
plan doesn't appear to work in this case. When he hangs up, I do go
back to the conference, but when he is transfered and goes to the
conference, I seem to end in limbo.
I even tryed to add an h extension to the same context as the Dial is
in, but that didn't seem to help.
Is there a way out of this?
