Hey all, I am very interested in using AEL2 (don't want to upgrade to 1.4 to get it though), but am having some problems upgrading/patching my asterisk system. I am following the instructions on the wiki: http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+AEL2#AEL2AnnouncementsandNews But get the following error:

I am struggling to find out how to code hint in AEL2. I did hint(Custom:light1) and it keeps complaining about the : (colon). It works fine for SIP device like hint(SIP/439). Anyone who has tried it before?

Does anyone know how to get CID working in AEL2 ? In extensions.conf you can do: exten => 111/666,1,PlayBack(demo-congrats) exten => 111/666,2,Hangup() exten => 111,1,PlayBack(demo-moreinfo) exten => 111,2,Hangup() and if callerid 666 dialed 111, they would get demo-congrats, everyone else gets demo-moreinfo. In AEL: 111 => { Playback(demo-moreinfo);

Where's Steve Murphy when you need him? :-) This doesn't seem to work in AEL2... Macro foo(arg1) { ..... Includes { Hangup; } } The error is: File: /etc/asterisk/extensions.ael, Line 59, Cols: 5-12: Error: syntax error, unexpected KW_INCLUDES, expecting '}' The same error does not occur when the includes is in a context. I need to

Hi, I'm using asterisk 1.6.1 and AEL2. I'm trying to find the best way to write my own custom functions ? At the moment, I'm using this pattern (extensions.ael) : context foo { 123 => { &myfunc(123456); NoOp(${GOSUB_RETVAL}); }; macro myfunc (arg) { Return (${arg}); } 1. First, I keep getting warnings like Warning: file /etc/asterisk/extensions.ael, line

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

I know I compiled AEL2 into 1.2 before, considering I just copied my source from one server to another, yet I can't seem to figure out why I'm getting this error. Anyone have any ideas? make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/local/src/asterisk-svn/asterisk/pbx' flex argdesc.l "argdesc.l", line 19: unrecognized %option: reentrant "argdesc.l", line 20: unrecognized

Hi, all. I'm making my first foray into AEL. I'm starting with a simple macro, but I've already encountered an odd behaviour. I'm wondering if someone can shed some insight: Asterisk 1.2.9.1 macro newPlaceCallPSTN { s => { TIMEOUT(absolute)=7200; NoOp(Analog Out List: ${ANALOGOUT}); ChanIsAvail(${ANALOGOUT}); NoOp(Available Out List:

I just want to confirm but it seems that if-then-else is not permitted in case structure. It was not really documented but it seems to be the case. Can anyone confirm? switch(${DIALSTATUS}) { case NOANSWER: { // if-then-else not permitted If (${ael-var} = 1) { Playback(beep);

Hi, I'm trying to pass a single carriage return (0x0d in hexa) to Sendtext in an AEL2 file like this : SendText(${BASE64_DECODE(DQ==)}); Value sent (8 bytes long) is very strange : Content-Type: text/plain;charset=UTF-8 Content-Length: 8 ?ez?== Any workaround ?

Hi, I'm migrating some macro from extension.conf format to AEL and they are some things i don't understand, and some i don't evan know how to get them working. Example: Doing this "queueMemberList=${QUEUE_MEMBER_LIST(queue)};" won't make any warning message, however the resulting variable value won't be the expected one (a string) but some kind of

I am building a new Asterisk server here at the office, and I'm wondering if there are any downsides to creating my dialplan with AEL. It seems more intuitive (to me), but I'm not sure if there are any pitfalls I need to be aware of first. We use this for internal extensions, 8 pots lines, and our answering service which gets about 500 incoming calls a day down our T1. Also, one more

Hello, When reloading a diaplan (asterisk 1.6.1.X), I can see in console : [Apr 2 09:02:00] WARNING[2217]: ael/pval.c:2522 check_pval_item: Warning: file /etc/asterisk/extensions.ael, line 621-621: application call to Gosub affects flow of control, and needs to be re-written using AEL if, while, goto, etc. keywords instead! What is then the recommended substitution for Gosub() application

I just downloaded and installed asterisk-1.2.13 Reading http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+AEL2 says I should be using AEL2, but what's downloaded is pbx_ael not pbx_ael2 as expected. Where and how do I get current release of AEL2 - Is there some 'How To' somewhere? TIA Bart

Hi all, I've just upgraded to latest 1.6.0 SVN from a few days ago and my Gosubs have stopped working.

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

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...

Being rather new to Asterisk I was wondering what the current status of AEL2 is? I see reference to it back in January but that was many versions ago. Is it in the current code?

Hi! All the AEL examples have a semicolon after the closing curly bracket, e.g: context test { 1 => Hangup(); }; but without ; it works fine too, e.g: context test { 1 => Hangup(); } So - what is the reason for the ; after the closing curly bracket? thanks klaus

Hi! I use the following condition: if (${FOOBAR}=YES) { ... } The problem is, that if FOOBAR is not defined at all Asterisk generates a warning: WARNING[11982]: ast_expr2.fl:407 ast_yyerror: ast_yyerror(): syntax error: syntax error, unexpected '=', expecting $end; Input: =YES Of course I could use the following code, but this bloats up the code: if (${EXISTS(${FOOBAR})}) {
