I’m pretty sure that attended transfer is a “features” function, not a
dialplan one.
Yes, you're right but do you think there's such a big difference between
both that it shouldn't be easy or even possible to add support of attended
transfer in dialplan ?
What I have in my mind is this :
Today, Dial application M or U options allows macro execution when caller
and callee are connected.
What if this same macro could be also launched during some later events
(like attended transfer) ?
With features.conf, you could then specify :
- how lo launch an attended transfer (which key to type as today),
- if a given feature (attended transfer, parking, ...) should be
supported by Dial macro option (for compatibilty, default could be set to
none)
and with extension.conf, you could specify :
- which specific treatment (sending UserEvents, launching an external
program, ...) to apply
In this puzzle, if Asterisk could support a few more standard variables
like ATTENDED_TRANSFERER ATTENDED_TRANSFER_TARGET, you would everything to
define and run attended transfers specific logic :
exten = 123,1,Dial(SIP/123,M(mymacro^arg1^arg2)) ; mymacro is launched
upon connection and specified (in features.conf) events
[macro-mymacro]
GotoIf(x${ATTENDED_TRANSFERER},
What about that ?

This is actually not a bad idea.Why single out just the Attended xfer? Why
would you treat
attended xfers differently than blind xfers? Just curious.
Also, calling just one macro for all features seems a bit restricted. Why
not allow the features.conf
to specify which macro/gosub to call, for each feature? Dial is already
overloaded with options,
anything that could be offloaded would probably be desirable. Plus, calls
that were not initiated by
a dialplan Dial() invocation might not be able to provide that option.
Another question: what do you need this functionality to *do*? It could be
that there is an already
existing functionality that you could exploit to get the same results?

On my system I do *2 and asterisk says transfer, then I punch in the new
extension.

Hi,
How can you add specific statements into Asterisk dialplan (extension.ael,
...) for attented transfers ?
I can see Asterisk sending Transfer or Masquerade events through AMI (in
1.6.1) but I could use an external program to catch those events but I would
prefer to use dialplan instead.
Any idea ?
Regards
