I'm having a problem understanding the steps and/or proper formatting of including a xml file inside a "host" xml file within the dial plan.
I have limited access to the dial plan, so need to insert a call to a file in a different directory for a customized extension.
Example - in /dialplan/somedialplan.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?> <document type="freeswitch/xml"> <section name="dialplan" description="Dialplan"> <context name="default"> <extension name="nowhere"> <blah> </extension> </context> </section> </document>
I want to add: <X-PRE-PROCESS cmd="include" data="/custom-dir/custom_dial.xml"/> so that every time somedialplan.xml is read, custom_dial.xml is included.
I've tried adding it after the section name, and after the context, but it's never parsed (according to watching fs_cli).
So I can't seem to figure out where to put it and have it parsed. I'm also a bit confused on exactly the XML required in custom_dial.xml. Do I need to specify the context that I want the extension executed in?
In custom_dial.xml I've tried using with and without the <include> tags. I've scoured freeswitch.org but can't seem to find the documentation in a way that I can figure this out.
