Hi,
How can you add specific statements into Asterisk dialplan (extension.ael, ...) for attented transfers ?
I can see Asterisk sending Transfer or Masquerade events through AMI (in 1.6.1) but I could use an external program to catch those events but I would prefer to use dialplan instead.

I’m pretty sure that attended transfer is a “features” function, not a dialplan one.
On my system I do *2 and asterisk says transfer, then I punch in the new extension.

Yes, you're right but do you think there's such a big difference between both that it shouldn't be easy or even possible to add support of attended transfer in dialplan ?
What I have in my mind is this :
Today, Dial application M or U options allows macro execution when caller and callee are connected.
What if this same macro could be also launched during some later events (like attended transfer) ?
With features.conf, you could then specify :
- how lo launch an attended transfer (which key to type as today),
- if a given "feature" (attended transfer, parking, ...) should be supported by Dial macro option (for compatibilty, default could be set to none)
and with extension.conf, you could specify :
- which specific treatment (sending UserEvents, launching an external program, ...) to apply
In this puzzle, if Asterisk could support a few more standard variables like ATTENDED_TRANSFERER ATTENDED_TRANSFER_TARGET, you would everything to define and run attended transfers specific logic :
exten => 123,1,Dial(SIP/123,M(mymacro^arg1^arg2)) ; mymacro is launched upon connection and specified (in features.conf) events
How can you add specific statements into Asterisk dialplan (extension.ael, ...) for attented transfers ?

Any idea ?
