There is no reason to re-create this functionality in lua, it already exists. http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Freeswitch_IVR_Originate http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Variable_ringback Mike On Oct 15, 2009, at 8:55 PM, Peter Volchek wrote:
Hi Guys, Here is the task I need your help with.
The feature I am trying to build is called 'Find Me" or 'Follow Me'. When the call comes in, I am trying the call the predefined list of numbers in sequence, and if none answers, I am going into voice receiving mode.
I am using the lua language.
Here is what I am doing (pseudo code) I'll be asking the question just in the code
session:answer();
playPrompt('transfer_greeting');
next_number = getNextNumber();
-- Question #1: -- I am about to start a new session. -- However, at this point I'd like to play some moho (music on hold) for the existing one
-- Creating a new session. The destination phone start ringing local session1 = freeswitch.Session("sofia/192.168.1.52/" .. next_number ); -- Question #2: -- How could I specify the number of rings to wait before session answers? Or maybe the timeout
if( session1:ready() == true ) then -- Question #3 -- Session answered. At this point I need to stop the music on hold. How? -- Now I need to join the existing session with the newly created one -- there is a session:transfer method, but I can't see how I can use it here else playPrompt("Can't find. Please leave a message"); doReceiveMessage()' end
Has anyone worked on that feature before. I would appreciate all possible solutions and explanations. Thank you in advance.
