Transfers work better when both legs of the call live in thier own channel eg bridged calls
A -> B where you want a to make B -> C
when you route a call to an IVR or playback app you are not really bridging you have
A all alone executing the script so it's hard to transfer that.
I do have it aparently working but it's goofy and you are better off
putting your IVR on it's own switch so they are all inbound calls
then you have A -> B -> IVR
now A can happily transfer B who can stay on line with IVR without stopping
the execution. You can also accomplish this by calling in a loop back to the same box
if you dont want to have 2 boxes.
Also the beginning effort at bridging calls with no media is here
set this magic variable in your dialplan to convince mod_sofia
to pass A's sdp as it's own to B and return B's sdp back to A on 200 or 183
<action application="set" data="no_media=true"/>
<action application="bridge" data="sofia/id@host.com"/>
You will need a new sofia tarball for this version
There is a bunch of other odds and ends added like a function or 2 etc
Oh,
And don't be suprised if it introduces all kinds of bugs!
git-svn-id: http://svn.freeswitch.org/svn/freeswitch/trunk@2992 d0543943-73ff-0310-b7d9-9358b9ac24b2
adding mod_park for putting channels in limbo state for remote control.
adding stuff to mod_event_socket to let you do the bgapi <command> <args>
this will let you execute a job in the bg and the result will be sent as an event with an
indicated uuid to match the reply to the command
adding switch_core_port_allocator (to be used soon)
adding "make sure" to do a full rebild of the freeswitch object files
There will be more to this committed as the week progresses
make sure you do a rebuild after this update or you'll be sowwie
./configure && make sure

BTW, forget what I said yesterday RE: the strftime app I was at McDonalds, how can I concentrate there eh?
see below....
The Definitive Guide To XML Dialplan:
The "dialplan" section of the freeswitch.xml meta document may contain several contexts
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<document type="freeswitch/xml">
<section name="dialplan" description="Regex/XML Dialplan">
<!-- the default context is a safe start -->
<context name="default">
<!-- one or more extension tags -->
</context>
<!-- more optional contexts -->
</section>
</document>
The important thing to remember is that the dialplan is parsed once when the call
hits the dialplan parser in the RING state. With one pass across the XML the result
will be a complete list of instructions installed into the channel based on
parsed <action> or <anti-action> tags.
Those accustomed to Asterisk may expect the call to follow the dialplan by executing the
applications as it parses them allowing data obtained from one action to influence the next action.
This not the case with the exception being the %{api func} {api arg} field type where an pluggable api call from
a module may be executed as the parsing occurs but this is meant to be used to draw realtime info such as
date and time or other quickly accessible information and shold *not* be abused.
The anatomy of an <extension> tag.
Legend:
Text wrapped in [] indicates optional and is not part of the actual code.
a '|' inside [] indicates mutiple possible values and also is not part of the code.
Text wrapped in {} indicates it's a description of the parameter in place of the param itself.
<extension name="{exten_name}" [continue="[true|false]"]>
continue=true means even if an extension executes to continue
parsing the next extension too
The {exten_name} above may anything but if it's
an exact match with the destination number the parser will leap to this extension
to begin the searching that does not mean it will execute the extension.
Searching will either begin at the first extension in the context or at the point
the the parser has jumped to in the case described above.
Each condition is parsed in turn first taking the 'field' param.
The parser will apply the perl regular expression to each 'field' param encountered.
If the expression matches, it will parse each existing <action> tag in turn and add
the data from the <application> tags to the channels todo list.
If a matched expression contains any data wrapped in () the variables
$1,$2..$N will be valid and expanded in any of 'data' params from the subsequent action tags.
If the expression does NOT match, it will parse each <anti-action> tag in turn and add
the data from the <application> tags to the channels todo list.
*NOTE* since there was no match the () feature is not availabe in anti-actions
The 'break' param indicates how to behave in relation to matching:
*) 'on-true' - stop searching conditions after the first successful match.
*) 'on-false' - stop searching after the first unsuccessful match.
*) 'always' - stop at this conditon regardless of a match or non-match.
*) 'never' - continue searching regardless of a match or non-match.
<condition field="[{field name}|${variable name}|%{api func} {api arg}]" expression="{expression}" break="[on-true|on-false|always|never]">
<action application="{app name}" data="{app arg}"/>
<anti-action application="{app name}" data="{app arg}"/>
</condition>
<!-- any number of condition tags may follow where the same rules apply -->
</extension>
