look at the "mad boss" extension in the default dialplan conf/dialplan/default.xml to see how to craft an all-hands conference. otherwise individual calls to originate to send people to the conference is also ok.<br>

Hello:<br>
<br>
I've been using asterisk for a little bit over three years now. A<br>
couple of months ago I found out about freeswitch, took a look at it,<br>
thought it was interesting and moved on. A few weeks ago, I started<br>
looking at a project I've been wanting to work on for quite a while<br>
using conferences and started exploring systems and different<br>
approaches. Based on the requirements I have, I decided to use<br>
freeswitch. It seemed like it had the best support for conferencing so<br>
I went for it. According to some documentation I found it also seems<br>
to allow for more concurrent calls than asterisk which is an added<br>
bonus.<br>
<br>
I got a server ready, installed FC8 on it which is what I have in<br>
production now, unpacked freeswitch there and so far it's running<br>
beautifully. Very painless process really to get it installed, I was<br>
happy to see that. Configuration seems a bit different since it's XML;<br>
but being a developer myself I can see many advantages to having done<br>
that in the future as the system scales and grows in complexity.<br>
<br>
Sorry for the long introduction, getting to my question now. So ...<br>
What I want to be able to do is the following:<br>
<br>
Create and control conferences via the HTTP API. I've been reading a<br>
bit for the past two days the documentation and I am becoming more<br>
familiar now with how things are done using ESL, the support for PHP,<br>
perl and I believe others.<br>
<br>
a) It seemed to me like the way to setup the moderator of the<br>
conference is by setting a parameter in the DialPlan and specifying<br>
based on a condition who the moderator is, say for instance the<br>
destination number. That's fine and it makes sense, however, say that<br>
I am creating a new conference and I want to have 3 participants where<br>
one of them is the moderator. What would I have to do to specify that<br>
person A dialing for example number xxx-xxx-xxxx is the moderator (via<br>
HTTP)? Would I have to create my own call to the system and add say an<br>
entry to DialPlan with the right parameter for the moderator, then<br>
create the conference?<br>
<br>
b) When a conference is created, or when I go to create a new<br>
conference via HTTP using the API, does it allow for example for all<br>
numbers that will be added to be dialed at once? Or should the process<br>
be dial each participant, sending say 3 http requests via the API? The<br>
API command "conference dial" seems to only take one argument for<br>
destination number; but I am asking just in case I missed something.<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance for the help and I apologize for the long email.<br>
<br>
Alfredo<br>
