similar to: Accessing Asterisk gosub arguments in extensions.lua

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() {

Hello I'm taking a look at how to write scripts to be called from the dialplan, and saw pbx_lua mentioned. I'd like to know more about this feature, such as what the difference is with just calling the Lua interpreter through AGI (same difference as between php-cgi and mod_php?), whether it's production-ready, etc. Thank you for any help.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 Hi I have searched a bit for information regarding the status on the dialplan in lua (pbx_lua.so). I know that 'hint' won't work and has to be put in the regular extensions.conf/ael. Are there any other considerations? Features that are not implemented, or known stability issues? Thanks, Tommy Botten Jensen -----BEGIN PGP

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

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

Hi, Is there some more thorough documentation of this change that has happened in 1.6? The upgrade.txt and changes.txt files mention it, but I have already seen details of this change that do not appear to be documented except in conversations on the mailing list... 1) It appears that it is no longer legal to have: [macro-contaxtA] ...stuff... [contextA] ...stuff... Is this true? Or have I

Hi, After compiling a installing asterisk 1.8.2.3 I wanted to play with lua but I noticed that extensions created in extensions.lua was not being registered with asterisk. uga1*CLI> dialplan show [ Context 'app_queue_gosub_virtual_context' created by 'app_queue' ] 's' => 1. NoOp() [app_queue] [ Context

Hi, For some reason (outbound call tracking) I've got a few different outbound call process (using a macro for queuemetrics logging, or direct call) i wanted to factorise the routing process so i came up with something like the following. All in one it's working like expected, however every "ael reload" command trigger a lot of warning like that "application call

Hello, I want that after client and queue member call would be established, cmd queue runs some 'procedures' . So I am using cmd Queue option 'gosub'. This is my example of ael : context QUEUE { _X. => { Ringing(); Wait(4); Answer(); Queue(${Queue},wr,,,60,,,check-record); Hangup(); }; }; macro check-record() {

Hi to all! I'm trying to create a context for integration with extensions.lua and libsql.mysql, but I'm not getting to run. When I reload the module pbx_lua.so the following error appears: [Feb 24 16:59:29] ERROR[30749]: pbx_lua.c:1249 exec: Error executing lua extension: error loading module 'luasql.mysql' from file '/usr/lib/lua/5.1/luasql/mysql.so':

>>> Nobody has any information or opinions on any of this? Personally, I don't think MACROS are going anywhere any time soon, so I have not bothered looking into a substitution. As for ael; I've never used it. Doug

Hi, according to discussion on asterisk IRC, where people said, that macros will be depracated, I tried to migrate from macros to contexts and Gosub but if I try to use gosub in extensions.ael, ael compiler complains, that I shouln't use Gosub app, but I can't find ael keyword, that will be Gosub equivalent, or can I ignore this ael warnings? thanks PJ LOG: lev:3 file:pval.c

Hi all, I've just upgraded to latest 1.6.0 SVN from a few days ago and my Gosubs have stopped working. This is from the verbose logs: -- Executing [03333407271 at incoming-aaisp:4] GotoIf("IAX2/aaisp-3802", "1?5:7") in new stack -- Goto (incoming-aaisp,03333407271,5) -- Executing [03333407271 at incoming-aaisp:5] Gosub("IAX2/aaisp-3802",

Hello, How does extensions.lua compares to extensions.conf or extensions.ael on stability, performance and features ? Would you recommand extensions.lua as an easy/easier way to access memcached, redis or equivalent ? Thoughs ? Comments ?

I just discover an "hidden" problem with AEL macro I want to have your feedback. If you use a macro to dial out, like &dialout(${EXTEN}), the leg extension will became ~~~~s~~~~ and if it happens you transfer the call, that will be the callerid appearing on the other phone display. I am just rewriting all the dialplan getting rid of the macro and using gosub, even if asterisk is

Hi, I have defined a dialplan in lua and now would like to use "dial" with the macro M to implement some logic, when the callee-channel gets created. Working old style would be (extensions.conf) [default] exten => _X,1,dial(SIP/1,,M(mymacro^parameter)) [macro-mymacro] exten => s,1,verbose(${ARG1}) How to implement the same functionality using pbx_lua? Details: Asterisk 11.7

Has any one used this? U(x[^arg[^...]]): x - Name of the subroutine to execute via Gosub arg - Arguments for the Gosub routine Execute via Gosub the routine <x> for the *called* channel before connecting to the calling channel. Arguments can be specified to the Gosub using '^' as a delimiter. The Gosub routine can set the variable ${GO

Hello, Reading through the Wiki: "Asterisk supports the ability to write dialplan instructions in the Lua programming language. This method can be used as an alternative to or in combination with extensions.conf and/or AEL. PBX lua allows users to use the full power of lua to develop telephony applications using Asterisk" My question is, what is the benefit of using Lua? I recently

Hello, I would like to receive some suggestions about dialplans written in lua, actually my dialplan is written in ael, but i'm having some problems with it. I noticed that asterisk just translates ael to the old extension language, does it do the same with lua? Thanks -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

Please could someone advise good manual for using lua for asterisk dialplan. There is not much docu about it. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: <http://lists.digium.com/pipermail/asterisk-users/attachments/20110218/42642787/attachment.htm>
