Idiot question concerning internal calls
I've just discovered a yawning hole in my knowledge of Freeswitch... When I make an internal call, I would like to be able to set variables that are originator specific. I had previously done this in the directory part of conf with things like this: <include> <user id="9903301"> ... <variables> <variable name="tenant_id" value="9903"/> <variable name="a_ext" value="301"/> <variable name="accountcode" value="301"/> <variable name="user_context" value="dp9903"/> <variable name="internal_caller_id_name" value="Internal from x301 alex"/> </variables> </user> </include> But when I try to extract those variables in a lua script (eg. the extension handling "201"), they don't seem to be there. It's as though they weren't exported from A-Leg to B-Leg. What am I missing? How can I arrange for variables set in the <user> to be readable in the b-leg dialplan?

Aaargghh! Sorry guys - I had a little lua function that "de-nilled" my variables and it had a typo in it that meant it always returned an empty string.... Doh...
