Re: [Serusers] how can I look up the username in the location table?

Hi!

Lookup takes the request URI und looks up the location table. In REGISTER messages, the address-of-record is in the To: header. Therefore, lookup() will fail always.

Maybe you can overcome this by copying the To: URI into an AVP and then copying this AVP into the request URI. (avpops module).

Btw: Why do you need this feature?

I want to look up the username in the location table during the method==register if block.

The reason I wish to do this is to see if there is another location currently registered in the database for this particular username. How can I do this? Do I have to use exec_msg() or exec_dset(), or does lookup() work?

I've tried lookup("location") but it failed to work, it seems.

Can anyone help me out? Here is the block of code that I'm trying to use:

    if (method=="REGISTER") {
            if (!search("^Expires: 0")) {
                    if (lookup("location")) {
                            sl_send_reply("200","Another registration.");
                    } else {
                            sl_send_reply("200", "First registration.");
                    }
            } else {
                    sl_send_reply("200", "Unregistration.");
            }
            save_noreply("location");
            break;
    }

Note that it is sending the proper replies for "First registrations" and "Unregistrations," but not for "Another registrations."

Thanks in advance,

Dana
