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">

    <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.

Thanks!
