Re: [Asterisk-Users] Class features in dialplan ?
Usually CLASS stands for Custom Local Area Signalling Services.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Class features in dialplan ?
If what u mean by CLASS is Class of Service, ie: the ability to allow/denny access to users to/from resources like public network based on the number they dial, this can by nicely achieved by using a powerful tool that * calls "context". Playing with "contexts" you can define several different class of service levels that can be separately applied to every phone and will work independently of the type of technology of the phone (SIP, H323, IAX, Legacy, etc).

So, it sounds like everyone is stuck reinventing the wheel for a while
unless these featurs are going to be available "real soon now" :) I
guess I'll go throught the nanpa list and pick out the ones that are
must haves for now.
Thanks

Here's how Mark wants it done:
In the channel_pvt structure, we have a pointer to a new structure:
struct ast_common_features {
char fwd[AST_MAX_EXTENSION];
char fwd_off[AST_MAX_EXTENSION];
.
.
.
};
This allows the codes to be redefined per installation (for those who
don't like the NANPA assignments) or even per channel. In addition,
those who want to handle the codes in the dialplan can turn off various
featuresets by setting their codes to "".
Then, when we're processing extensions in the channel driver, we do
the following:
if (ast_feature_match(&p->common_features, exten, ...)) {
/* Make channel if it doesn't already exist */
ast_feature_handle(chan, &p->common_features, exten, ...);
}
and in the config, the features would be configured with another common
routine:
else if (!ast_feature_config(&p->common_features, v->var, v->value)) {
ast_log(LOG_WARNING, "Unknown keyword '%s'\n", v->var);
}
All these common features could then be handled either in a device
independent way (such as forward, where the end number is entered into
a database for later lookup) or in a device-specific way, as
appropriate.
I've looked at implementing this, but it is quite complex and extensive,
and I haven't had the time to complete it. Add to that all the
negativity of people who don't like this plan and have vociferously
expressed their distaste (intending to implement these in the dialplan
instead), and you see why this code is even more difficult to write.
