[asterisk-users] Simple queue announcements

2008-04-16 Thread Chris Bagnall
Greetings list,

I've been playing around with queues on an old asterisk 1.2 box at a customer's 
site. They want to be able to add really simple queue announcements every 
minute, along the following lines:
sorry for the delay, someone will be with you shortly.

Looking at the announce options in queues.conf, it seems to be possible to 
announce queue position and/or hold time, but not a simple announcement. I 
suppose I could, theoretically, erase all the queue-youarenext, 
queue-callswaiting, etc. voice files, but that seems rather excessive to 
achieve something so simple.

Any thoughts/suggestions gratefully appreciated.

Regards,

Chris

I believe you'll need to migrate them to 1.4.

periodic-announce = Custom/periodic-fxqueue01
periodic-announce-frequency=90

to hold for next available etc, etc

Sorry, I thought periodic announcements were a 1.4 thing.
