I would like to be able to place a call on hold on one extension, walk
to another phone and then dial a sequence (like the barge sequence) say
55+extension number and have the call taken off hold and transferred to
the extension I am on.

Has anyone done this? (Before I try and work it out for myself!)

Scott

You would use a combination of storing the UUID... in the internal
db... see insert in the default dialplan... then a code to get that
out of the db... then run intercept on it using the value returned
from the db. See default config's

Store it something like this:

<action application="db" data="insert/last_dial_ext/$
{dialed_extension}/${uuid}"/>


Then use it something like this:

<extension name="intercept-ext">
<condition field="destination_number" expression="^\*\*(\d+)$">
<action application="answer"/>
<action application="intercept" data="${db(select/
last_dial_ext/$1)}"/>
<action application="sleep" data="2000"/>
</condition>
</extension>

Wouldnt that be call parking??

I have been told that would be better o use mod_fifo instead... It
would be nice if someone would post something on mod_fifo wiki page
about how to do fancy call parking with mod_fifo (even tho it might be
pretty easy).

It is kind of - but slightly different, and simpler for the users.

Thanks Brian, I had started looking at this, and I think I was heading in the direction you describe - now I can pursue that with a bit more confidence!

So even if we do not originate the call, the last dialled extension would still be valid as it would be set up during the bridging process?
(I think I need another method to collect the UUID of the leg of the bridge that initiated the call - or just the UUID that is active for that extension)

The key is the uuid.. In FreeSWITCH the uuid is the only bit you
really need to know to do anything with the session.

So for this scenario, I think I need to store the UUID of both sides before every bridge that I do, that way it will always reflect the most recently connected call to an extension - either as source or destination.

I found the log action, so now I can spit out debug information as I work this out!

p.s. Thanks for all your help, FreeSwitch (and the community) rock!
