Hi,

I'd like to be able to record a "Good Morning", "Good Afternoon" and
"Good Evening" greeting to play to callers on the asterisk pbx?

Is this easy? Has anyone achieved this?

Can someone point to some suitable information?

Many thanks

Matthew

Hmm.. lets try Google with the search recording sounds for asterisk

Oh look! First hit! [url]http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+sound+files[/url]

I'm suspecting the OP actually wanted to playback those files based on
the time of day rather than the mechanics of recording them... If this
is the case, lookup the GotoIfTime application:

dsx*CLI> show application GotoIfTime
-= Info about application 'GotoIfTime' =-

[Synopsis]
Conditional Goto based on the current time

[Description]
GotoIfTime(<times>|<weekdays>|<mdays>|<months>?[[context|]exten|]priority):
This application will set the context, extension, and priority in
the channel structure if the current time matches the given time
specification. Otherwise, nothing is done. Further information on
the time specification can be found in examples illustrating how to do
time-based context includes in the dialplan. If the target jump location
is bogus, Asterisk will respond as outlined in Goto.

Replying to my own message...

Is there an easy way to implement this with freepbx or trixbox?

Thanks again,


Matthew

I don't use either, but I'm led to belive that FreePBX takes over all
the config files - I don't know if it has any mechamisms to let you
add your own custom stuff to it - best to ask on one of the trixbox or
freepbx forums..

freePBX/trixbox will allow you to create custom settings files. Where
the normal Asterisk config files are called things like extensions.conf
and sip.conf, FreePBX/Trixbox allows the use of files called (for
example) extensions_custom.conf and sip_custom.conf. These can be
edited without being overwritten by FreePBX.

The non-custom config files are overwritten every time you click the red
bar in freepbx.

cheers,
Paul.

So why did he write "I'd like to be able to record a "Good Morning",
"Good Afternoon" and "Good Evening" greeting" instead of "I want to
playback recordings at specific times of the day like "Good
Morning"???????????????????????????

FFS!

One of those instances where it sounded ok when I read it back, but to
others it meant something else.

Assuming you are asking this question and not something completely
different.....;-)

In FreePBX you need to look at Time Conditions & Announcments.

You will need to daisy chain the Time Conditions to achieve what you
want. i.e 1 for AM with a failover to PM if it doesn't match.

IMHO the Time Conditions in Asterisk and Freepbx are a nightmare and
best avoided if it can be helped.
