Need help with dialplan customization for call forwarding via Transfer

Hi all,

I’m using FreePBX 2.8.1.4 with * 1.4.26.2 and try to get call forwarding to just do Transfer($CFU) in dialplan rather then create a new call to $CFU.

My approach is to copy in the context [macro-exten-vm] to /etc/asterisk/extensions_override_freepbx.conf and change the following lines:

from:

exten => docfu,1(docfu),Set(RTCFU=${IF($["${VMBOX}"!=“novm”]?${RINGTIMER}:"")})
exten => docfu,n,Dial(Local/${CFUEXT}@from-internal/n,${RTCFU},${DIAL_OPTIONS})
exten => docfu,n,Return()
exten => docfb,1(docfb),Set(RTCFB=${IF($["${VMBOX}"!=“novm”]?${RINGTIMER}:"")})
exten => docfb,n,Dial(Local/${CFBEXT}@from-internal/n,${RTCFB},${DIAL_OPTIONS})
exten => docfb,n,Return()

to:

exten => docfu,1(docfu),Set(RTCFU=${IF($["${VMBOX}"!=“novm”]?${RINGTIMER}:"")})
exten => docfu,n,Transfer(${CFUEXT})
exten => docfu,n,Return()
exten => docfb,1(docfb),Set(RTCFB=${IF($["${VMBOX}"!=“novm”]?${RINGTIMER}:"")})
exten => docfb,n,Transfer(${CFBEXT})
exten => docfb,n,Return()

Obviously I’m not a FreePBX dialplan expert and this doesn’t work. Can anyone shed some light on how FreePBX handles CFU so that I get an idea where to do the customization?

My background is that I have a PSTN that requieres that Transfer application in the * dialplan to do proper call forwarding.

Thanks for your help!

I still have not found an answer to my problem. Also if a sip device handles CF it sends a SIP 302 - Moved temporarily which is not reproduced on the trunk end of the system.

So I’d be very happy if someone could clearyfi how to modify the FreePBX dialplan to have the Transfer application for all CF cases.

THANKS!
