Hi all, I built my first asterisk using the traditional (?) .conf files and constructs. I recall reading books at the time about AEL but it seemed "new" and untested so I left it alone. Now, I'm interested to poll the audience here to see if I should look into using AEL instead (or in addition to) for future work. TIA

Hello-- It's been a while since I wrote any updates about AEL/AEL2 to the users list, and I thought it might be worthwhile to update everyone on what is going on in respects to AEL. What the heck is AEL? The Asterisk Extension Language. A higher level language for extensions.conf, which will appear in the config file, extensions.ael, in the /etc/asterisk/ (or equiv) directory. It provides

I'm trying to clarify my understand of gosub, macros and AEL. My understanding is that macros using the Macro() application, which is defined in extensions.conf by: [macro-foo] ... and called in extensions.conf with exten => _9NXXNXXXXXX.,n,Macro(fastbusy) is deprecated in favour of Gosub(). True so far? But then there are "macro"s defined in extensions.ael: macro foo() {

Hi to all, i'm wondering to realize a dynamic macro that can take the number of extensions to RING,the ring type and all the parameter in a dynamic way. I have done this code to test it: macro pbx-ring-group-ael(pbx_id,num_int,ring_type,timeout,ext_string) { //; pbx_id = Id of PBX in the DB //; num_int = Quantity of extensions to ring //; ring_type = Kind of RING (C=contemporaneous

Friends in the Asterisk community, Yesterday the Asterisk development branch, also known as "svn trunk", changed quite a lot. We added two major features: A new version of AEL and a new configuration system. Hang on, and I'll explain! * AEL - The Asterisk Extension Language -------------------------------------------------------- Last summer, Mark Spencer created a new

Almost two years ago, a change between how AEL code is built into Asterisk dialplan between minor versions made clear the need to provide a sane entry point into AEL subroutines and that's how AELSub() born. With Asterisk 11 release, they way [stdexten] at extensions.conf is invoked changed from Macro to Gosub using the 'missing context feature' and this caused that any stdexten

Am I doing something really stupid in this AEL macro, or is nesting an 'if' inside a 'switch', inside an 'if' not supported in the 1.2 AEL parser? macro stdexten( ext , dev ) { // First determine if the SIP peer is registered here Set(aretheyhere=${SIPPEER(${ext}:status)}); if(${aretheyhere:0:2}) == "OK") {

"show dialplan" keeps showing contexts created by AEL. I tried deleting /etc/asterisk/extensions.ael but kept getting these messages in the Asterisk log: Feb 14 21:39:53 WARNING[6074] pbx_ael.c: Unable to open '/etc/asterisk/extensions.ael': No such file or directory Feb 14 21:39:53 WARNING[6074] pbx.c: Requested contexts didn't get merged Is there any way to delete or

Hi, I think this must be a bug introduced with 1.6.2.17.something. When I upgrade from asterisk-1.6.2.16.1 to asterisk-1.6.2.17.2 or 1.6.2.18, my AEL Dial() commands with the "U" options fail with the following error: [May 3 12:05:54] ERROR[6300] app_stack.c: Attempt to reach a non-existent destination for gosub: (Context:screen, Extension:s, Priority:1) Here are the segments

Hi, I have recently run into the problem with macro implementation in AEL in Asterisk 1.6. I have some older AEL dialplan which runs on 1.4 but it does not on 1.6 and I'm not sure how to solve this correctly. Let me explain... For example, in Asterisk 1.4 I have a macro like this: macro read_digits(digits) { Set(playlist=${SHELL(${PYTHON} ${SCRIPTS}/read_digits.py

Hello-- I've just written and submitted a new module for asterisk, to the asterisk bug database. See http://bugs.digium.com/view.php?id=6021 There is a file there you can download, AEL2v0.3.patch.bz2 and I created a wiki page: http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+AEL2 Why did I do it? Because I was very impressed with AEL, but the current AEL compiler isn't real good at

Sorry, I forget to tell I tried, but not works. *Context:* context ivr_temp2 { s => { Proceeding(); str_time_01 = '06:00-12:00|*|*|*'; // Manh? ifTime (${str_time_01}) { Playback(ura/bom_dia); } } } The error is showed on "ael reload". *Console errors:* rs0000sr304*CLI> ael reload Command 'ael reload' failed.

Hi, Using a 1.4 system in which dialplan is written using extensions.conf, I can use a custom .call file. On another system in which dialplan is written using extensions.ael, I can't use any custom .call file : system keeps replying : "apply_outgoing: At least one of app or extension (or keyword message/pdu) must be specified, along with tech and dest in file

Hello I've spent the past hour searching and reading and searching some more. I've jet to come to a solution. I want to have some of my extensions in extensions.ael, while some should reside in Realtime. Realtime works just fine, so does my extensions in AEL. But not on the same time. This is how my extensions.ael look like now: context internal { 100 =>

Hello list, I have this strange problem whenever I try to make an "ael reload" from the Asterisk CLI. The command gives the following result and crashes: voip-1*CLI> ael reload Disconnected from Asterisk server Executing last minute cleanups Asterisk ending (0). root at voip-1:/etc/asterisk# As far as I can see, aelparse can't find any errors in my configuration, following

I have two offices sharing a phone system. They also share a common internal context because all of the employees of the second office also work for the first office. Each office has 4 outside lines and I have defined 2 channel groups in my zapata.conf. The second office needs all of their outgoing calls to go out over their lines so the people they call will have the correct callerID. I

Hi all, i need to know whether we can use ael and extensions.conf togather. i mean can we switch between contexts,extensions and priorities which are in present in both? can 2 context be named same in extensions.conf and extensions.ael? -- Regards Rizwan Hisham Software Engineer -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Hi, How can you use Dial application M(x) option from extensions.ael ? (As a reminder, this M(x) executes macro x when Dial called party answers). It seems to me that asterisk keeps looking for this macro in extensions.conf and not in extensions.ael. I tried both (and variations of those with ^ instead of ,) : Dial(Local/${EXTEN:1},,M(mymacro(${EXTEN}));

Hello, It seems /* */ comments are not supported in ael.vim (which brings AEL syntax-highlighting to vim). Is it hard to add this feature and have uploaded in vim extensions downloading site ?
