Voicemail Includes and Variables

[phonebuff]

Okay,

I should probably know this but it's been a long day and I am just not sure of the answers to a couple of questions..

1.) In vm_email.inc I can change the emailbody = asignment to vary the body of emails going out, but this is not dial plan and does not appear to be shell script either so if I want to condition the value of emailbody based on a range of extensions how would I code that. A shell might be

if $VM_MAILBOX -eq 2521 then
emailbody=.................
exit 0
#
else
emailbody=...................
exit 0
fi

But this is not a shell script..

Also, is emailheader the value sent to pagers and Cell phones if the Pager/Email Address is specified in the extension ??

Thanks.....

Hi

I cannot answer your question directly, however, there is a lot of information in the original voicemail.conf file, a copy of which should be somewhere in the /usr/src/asterisk directory.

OKay,

I found a refernce although not in the src directories --

http://astbook.asteriskdocs.org/en/2nd_Edition/asterisk-book-html-chunk/asterisk-APP-D-SECT-41.html

Still not sure how to conditionally set these variables but I am still looking..

Thinking might need a context for each set of variables instead of just using default..

Caution:: FreePBX 2.7.n and Asterisk 1.4 w/Dahdi..

Use of alternate contexts seems to break things big time..
