exit on busy/congested

Forgive me if this is in the wrong place on the forum.

I'm looking for a place to change how a2billing handles outgoing calls when the called party is busy and sending back a busy signal. At this time A2Billing is exiting the script, and hanging up on the caller without signaling that the phone number being called is busy.

I can simply do this in asterisk with some sort of gotoif busy....but I do not know where to change this in A2Billing.

If anyone could point me in the right direction it would be great...

Thanks a lot for your help!

See function rate_engine_performcall() in Class.RateEngine.php.

Excellent! Thank you so much.

I will be looking into this within the next few hours.

Perhaps change:

Code:

if ($this->dialstatus  == "BUSY") {
   $this->answeredtime=0;
   //$agi->agi_exec("STREAM FILE prepaid-isbusy #");
   $agi-> stream_file('prepaid-isbusy', '#');
} elseif ...

for something like:

Code:

if ($this->dialstatus  == "BUSY") {
   $this->answeredtime=0;
   if ($A2B -> agiconfig['answer_call'] == 1){
      $agi-> stream_file('prepaid-isbusy', '#');
   } else {
      $myres = $agi->exec("BUSY");
   }
} elseif ...

Thanks a lot for your help.....unfortunately this does not seem to be working either.

Is there a configuration within a2billing.conf that needs to be changed to access this before it is seen, or are there any other places that I can create this process. Even if I could exit a2billing without hanging up, then move onto the next priority in Asterisk I could play back a busy tone to the user. At this time with the code injected it still disconnects the user once the busy is discovered.

Please let me know what further information would help you with this process.

Thanks again

I modified the code to produce tones instead of prompts

Have a look at this http://forum.asterisk2billing.org/viewtopic.php?t=2982&highlight=tones
