Tilgham, Sure, that works too, but I needed access to context taken from the sip entry because I needed to goto(${that_context}), and that context varies depending on the phone used.
This is when setting __TRANSFER_CONTEXT in my cookie cutter really big/complexe/database driven extension. I get __TRANSFER_CONTEX=transfer_context, but once in [transfer_context] I send the call to the right specific context using a Goto cmd. Else I would need to replicate that big extension for each of those outgoing context, which is, from a coding perspective, error prone when modifications are made later.

The typical setup is to create included contexts in your dialplan, like in: [local-calls-only] include => local-calls [unrestricted-calls] include => local-calls include => long-distance include => international If you're wanting to find out the top context, even though you're in an included context, then just use ${CONTEXT}. Your context doesn't actually change when you're using an included context, which is why this works. There's no need to make it any more complicated. -- Tilghman _______________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users _______________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
