Update 2:

Unfortunately dlg_get() can't be used in event_route so I don't know how I can use dlg_bye() on a different dialog (not the current one)  :(

This bit of code does the job, but I don't know if it's really messy:


...bcalls is the name of the htable, for each dialog I save the callid, from_tag and to_tag (needed params for dialog termination)..


event_route[dialog:start] {
  if ($sht(bcalls=>$fU::callid) != $null) {
    jsonrpc_exec('{"jsonrpc": "2.0","method": "dlg.terminate_dlg","params": ["$sht(bcalls=>$fU::callid)", "$sht(bcalls=>$fU::from_tag)", "$sht(bcalls=>$fU::to_tag)"],"id": 1}');   <<<<< This is what I think is messy...
    xlog("L_NOTICE", "User check: Previous call terminated: $jsonrpl(body)\n");
    $sht(bcalls=>$fU::callid) = $dlg(callid);
    $sht(bcalls=>$fU::from_tag) = $dlg(from_tag);
    $sht(bcalls=>$fU::to_tag) = $tt;
    xlog("L_NOTICE", "User check: Updated call-info for $fU in htable\n");
  } else {
    $sht(bcalls=>$fU::callid) = $dlg(callid);
    $sht(bcalls=>$fU::from_tag) = $dlg(from_tag);
    $sht(bcalls=>$fU::to_tag) = $tt;
    xlog("L_NOTICE", "User check: Added call-info for $fU to htable\n");
  }
}


Any comments???

Update:

I have been testing and I think the way to go is taking advantage of the events generated by the dialog module (start/end/failed)...

I don't know if this is a bug, but shouldn't the $dlg(to_tag) be available in the event_route[dialog:start] ??

I can access $dlg(callid), $dlg(from_tag) but not the $dlg(to_tag) and all 3 are needed to search and terminate an existing dialog. For now i'm using $tt, but I'm wondering if this is correct or not? Let me know if I should move this topic to github...

Thanks!

Hi guys,

I'm trying to set kamailio to not allow simultaneous calls from the same user, but if a second call comes in, the behavior desired is to process that second call and terminate the previous (already active) one.

Say you have call A that creates dialog A. 

Then you have call B come in, creates dialog B. 

Can I save some info from dialog (call) A in a htable for example, then check that htable for the needed info from dialog (call) B and terminate dialog (call) A if it exists?

I think using dlg_get() and dlg_bye() would do the trick but not 100% sure how they work..


The example in the docs seems exactly the case:

dlg_get --> "Search and set current dialog based on Call-ID, From-Tag and To-Tag parameters"

if(dlg_get("abcdef", "123", "456"))
{
dlg_bye("all");
}

After the dlg_get() and dlg_bye() what happens to call B? Does the route continue running or does it end? Will it automatically switch back to the current dialog or do you have to manually switch back running dlg_get() again? (Sorry if I'm not explaining myself correctly, let me know if it sounds confusing)

Does anyone have experience with these two functions?


Thanks, 
Joel.
