DRY up Adhearsion Menus

[Justin Grammens]

I am using the new menu syntax in Adhearsion with my data model and am finding myself repeating the on_invalid, on_premature_timeout and on_failure calls in each block. Is there a way to have my on_invalid, on_premature_timeout and on_failure in each block call the same code? Looking for ways to DRY this up. Thanks for any advice.

For example in dialplan.rb:

adhearsion {
  menu 'productcode', :timeout => 8.seconds, :tries => 3 do |link|
        for product in Product.find(:all)
          link.product product.code
        end
       
        link.on_invalid { play 'invalid' }

        link.on_premature_timeout do |str|
          play 'sorry'
        end

        link.on_failure do
          play 'goodbye'
          hangup
        end
  end
}

product {
  menu 'vendorcode', :timeout => 5.seconds, :tries => 3 do |link|
      link.vendor 1

      link.on_invalid { play 'invalid' }

      link.on_premature_timeout do |str|
          play 'sorry'
      end

      link.on_failure do
          play 'goodbye'
          hangup
      end

  end
}

vendor {
    # do another menu here blah.. blah....
    link.on_invalid { play 'invalid' }

    link.on_premature_timeout do |str|
        play 'sorry'
    end

   link.on_failure do
        play 'goodbye'
        hangup
   end
}

Hey Justin,

Sure, I can think of a few ways to do this. How about this:

Define this instance variable in the context entrypoint for your
application. I think "adhearsion" is your entrypoint in your example
so I'll use that.

adhearsion {
@mishap_handler = lambda do |link|
link.on_invalid { play 'invalid' }
link.on_premature_timeout { play 'sorry' }
link.on_failure { play 'goodbye' }
end

menu do |link|
@mishap_handler[link]
link.other_context 1
# Rest of menu here
end
}

other_context {
menu do |link|
@mishap_handler[link]
link.somewhere 1
end
}

Alternatively, you could create a custom dialplan command (dry_menu()
maybe?) that automatically ran those callbacks on the "link"
MenuBuilder object.

How about defining a separate context, would that make sense?

link.on_premature_timeout do |str|
+on_timeout
end
}

on_timeout {
play 'sorry'
}

Works for me..

Jan,

That'll work fine when :tries => 1. If you have multiple tries, it
won't continue trying once you've jumped to another context.

This is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks Jay!

Hi yall,
I am trying to use adhearsion on elastix and i create something like

wyde{
play 'tt-monkeys'
}

then i define my context in extensions_custom.conf like
[wyde ]
exten 456,1,AGI(agi://174.78.99.20)

but i does not work. I appreciate yo help. thanks for you time.

[Ahmed MICKY]

I am using this in my extension.conf(asterisk side ) and everything is ok.

asterisk side:

 [default]

 exten => _X.,1,AGI(agi://127.0.0.1) ; change this to the IP of the server running adhearsion    

adhearsion side:(dialplan.rb)

default {

play 'something'

}

i think you forgot the =>

good luck

you havent' tried out Elastix have?

[Ahmed MICKY]

no i did not. i just used adhearsion with Asterisk.

now i did a simple config to see if everything is working .

then i wil build a poject with it (but my big problem is to use ss7 trunking with Asterisk).

any experience with asterisk and ss7??

man i haven't tried that out, but since you havre brought it up, why
not, i will let u know how it goes.

[Ahmed MICKY]

Thank you, if you have any information, i am verry interested.

i already read some docs about (libss7, openSS7,...) but these libraries are in beta development.

Th second possibility is to buy a non open source lib or built server like (sangoma's SMG gate way).

the third one is to  buy a sip/ss7 gateway (like teles ss7/sip gateway).

But the last two solutions are expensive for me.
