Hello everyone, If I use the below syntax, it works fine. But since I'm using *$${variable}*(two $-signs) it only works for static values defined at start-up. <fifos> <fifo name="emergency" importance="0"> <member timeout="60" simo="1" lag="0">{member_wait=nowait,origination_callee_id_name=*$${variable}* }loopback/dequeue_emergency/default/XML</member> </fifo> </fifos> If I use *${**variable**}* (one $-sign) I get the error: *Invalid data (${origination_callee_id_name} contains a variable)* * * Since I couldn't find a way of using a variable from the dialplan, I decided to solve the problem in my application. Whenever I need to get the list of *callers* and *bridges* in the fifo*, *first I get the list of UUIDs (with *fifo list <name>*) and then I use *uuid_getvar <uuid> effective_caller_id_number* I decided to share just in case someone has a similar requirement...

Hello everyone,

When a call leaves mod_fifo (and it gets bridged) if I do a *fifo list <myqueue>*, I get:

<bridges> <bridge fifo_name="emergency" bridge_start="2013-06-12 07:45:03" bridge_start_epoch="1371023103"> <caller uuid="a16767af-e252-43b5-ad33-cbd38a42bc64" caller_id_name=* "Outbound%20Call"* caller_id_number=*"XML"*></caller> <consumer> <uuid>4b84ab5e-f2a2-4d87-8295-7726663abeed</uuid> <outgoing_uuid>0b9fa586387efe4014e010bada4da9cc</outgoing_uuid> </consumer> </bridge> </bridges>

However I need to get the *caller_id_name* and the *caller_id_number* of the entity that initiated the call and not "*Outbound Call*" or *"XML"*.

I read in a thread that I should set *origination_callee_id_name* and * origination_callee_num* but how do I do that?

I tried to set a variable in my dialplan and use it in *fifo.conf.xml *but I get the following error:

*[CRIT] switch_channel.c:1364 Invalid data (${origination_callee_id_name} contains a variable)*

Here's my *original* fifo.conf.xml:

<fifos> <fifo name="emergency" importance="0"> <member timeout="60" simo="1" lag="0">{member_wait=nowait}loopback/dequeue_emergency/default/XML</member> </fifo> </fifos>

Here's part of my *original* dialplan: * * <extension name="queue_emergency"> <action application="set" data="fifo_music=$${hold_ringing}"/> <action application="set" data="fifo_orbit_exten=timeout_emergency:$${emergency_queue_timeout}"/> <action application="answer"/> <action application="fifo" data="emergency in"/> </extension>

Here's my *modified* fifo.conf.xml:

<fifos> <fifo name="emergency" importance="0"> <member timeout="60" simo="1" lag="0">{member_wait=nowait,origination_callee_id_name=${some_var_set in_the_dialplan}}loopback/dequeue_emergency/default/XML</member> </fifo> </fifos>

If I set to a fixed value instead of a variable, it works fine. But that's useless to me.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
