Asternic stats <\/a> has the ability to record your outgoing calls in the stats database so they can be accessed from stats package. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But a customer noted two problems with this, firstly they wanted to set a different Music on Hold for outgoing calls and secondly “no answer” calls where the agent hungup before the callee answered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Firstly we will deal with the Music on hold, Changing the MoH class caused calls not to be recorded in the database correctly. Code below is the reason for this as it causes the dial string to have 2 macros called, This is not possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

extension_additional.conf:-<\/em><\/strong>\nexten => s,n,ExecIf($[\"${MOHCLASS}\"!=\"default\" & \"${MOHCLASS}\"!=\"\" & \"${FORCE_CONFIRM}\"=\"\" ]?Set(DIAL_TRUNK_OPTIONS=M<\/strong>(setmusic^${MOHCLASS})${DIAL_TRUNK_OPTIONS}))\n\nextensions_custom_asternic_outbound_freepbx.conf:-<\/em><\/strong>\nexten => _X.,n,Dial(${QDIALER_CHANNEL},300,gM<\/strong>(queuedial-answer^${UNIQUEID}^${GM}^${QDIALER_QUEUE}^${QDIALER_AGENT}^${ST}^${AMPUSER})${DIAL_TRUNK_OPTIONS})\n<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
The fix is very simple for this one and required just 2 changes. one line added to set MoH in the dialplan and another to use Trunk_options and not the the one created in extensions_additional.conf<\/p>\n\n\n\n
exten => _X.,n,Set(CHANNEL(musicclass)=${MOHCLASS}) ; Added to set the Music on hold class for the outgoing call Fixes bug in normal code<\/strong>\nexten => _X.,n,Dial(${QDIALER_CHANNEL},300,gM(queuedial-answer^${UNIQUEID}^${GM}^${QDIALER_QUEUE}^${QDIALER_AGENT}^${ST}^${AMPUSER})${TRUNK_OPTIONS}<\/strong>) ;Was ${DIAL_TRUNK_OPTIONS} changed to set the Music on hold class for the outgoing call Fixes bug in normal code<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
The second problem is also fairly straight forward but took a bit of creative thinking, The problem was when an agent hung up on an outbound call the dialstatus returned to the dialplan was “CANCEL” and this is not reported upon by the asternic stats package. SO as the call is for all intents abandoned we added a line that if the dialstatus was “CANCEL” we would change it to “ABANDON”. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
exten => h,n,Set(DIALSTATUS=${IF($[\"${DIALSTATUS}\"=\"CANCEL\"]?ABANDON:${DIALSTATUS})}) ;Added By Ian Plain to fix cancelled calls not showing in Asternic stats<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
This is a simple fix and now means calls are recorded as ABANDONED and with the time the Agent waited before hanging up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Below is our version of the file extensions_custom_asternic_outbound_freepbx.conf<\/em><\/strong> with all the changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
