Hello list, I am currently working on a conference bridge based on FreeSWITCH that allows some conference members to dial out to a prompted number. Currently my implementation binds * in conference.xml to the "transfer" action, leading to a dial plan extension that runs an async full outgoing event socket. My application serving the event socket does the following: 1) Verifies the user is allowed to dial out, and writes a record to the database. 2) Retrieves the number to be dialed with 'play_and_get_digits' 3) Bridges the call to the dialed number 4) Waits for the a-leg to press star 5) Uses 'transfer' to transfer both legs back to the conference Everything works up to step #5, which does nothing. There is no NOTICE outputted to the console indicating that a transfer is taking place and neither leg is rejoined to the conference. I get a normal event back after the transfer sendmsg: Event-Name: SOCKET_DATA Content-Type: command/reply Reply-Text: %2BOK If I subscribe to all events before running the transfer and receive events in a loop, I receive nothing but routine RE_SCHEDULE and CALL_UPDATE events after the transfer. I am using ESL to communicate with FreeSWITCH, and prior to running any of steps #1-5 I set the event lock to true. The line from the dial plan extension that calls my application follows: <action application="socket" data="172.18.11.1:8001 async full" /> Any ideas? Perhaps I'm "doing it wrong"? I am very new to FS. Thanks! Joe Crivello
