Hi All,
I use Trixbox v2.6.1.10
I need to create conference bridge, where caller can simple put the conference number they wish to join.
I created "Custom Destination" from PBX Tools menu and point it to something like custom-meeteme3,s,1 and in asterisk config file "extensions_custom.conf" I have:

[custom-meetme3]
include => ext-meetme
exten => s,1,Answer
exten => s,n,Wait(3)
exten => s,n,CBMysql()
exten => s,n,Hangup

Custom destination is linked with "Misc Application" =>442

Now by dialing 442 I can hear "please enter your conference number followed by the # key ". After entering the preciously created conference number I can hear - that is not valid conference number..."
I have created some conference rooms which are accessible by direct dialing of cozzz.

So the question is how [custom-meetme3] should look like to make the conference bridge working.

I have no idea what to put in [custom-meetme3] If there is only include => ext-meetme - it does not work at all.

many thanks for any help

Are you creating the conferences through Web-Meet-Me 3 or through the PBX-Config Interface? If you're doing it through PBX Config, your custom meet-me could look like this instead (this is a snippet from one of my previous posts):

In extensions_custom.conf:
[custom-meetme]
exten => STARTMEETME,1,MeetMe(${MEETME_ROOMNUM},${MEETME_OPTS},${PIN})
exten => STARTMEETME,n,Hangup

In FreePBX, under Misc. Applications:
Description: Conference Center
Feature Code: *50
Feature Status: Enabled
Destination: Custom App: custom-meetme,STARTMEETME,1

Obviously, you'd need to set your Misc Application to 442 instead, but this should give you the old school static conference room interface.

cvander,
Works great! Thank you very much for your help.
But "new way" to add CustomAPP under free PBX and any new Trixbox CE PBX managers is:

1. Under PBX|tools (tab)|Custom Destination
we have to add Destination as shown above
e.g.
custum dest: custom-meetme,STARTMEETME,1 ,
description (it will be used below) my_old_favorite_way_to_reach_meetme

2. Under PBX Setup |Custom Aplicattion ->we have to add new aplication pointing directly to Custom destination created in point 1. (using checkbox "custom Destination" and select our previously defined destination from list)

we must remember to put
[custom-meetme]
exten => STARTMEETME,1,MeetMe(${MEETME_ROOMNUM},${MEETME_OPTS},${PIN})
exten => STARTMEETME,n,Hangup
in /etc/asterisk/extension_custom.conf of cozz (thanks cvander again)

Maybe somebody find it useful :-)

one small appointment - there is no music on hold on conferences accessed via "misc-application" - Its mean that the options are not recognized.

Hmm, it used to work. Must be a change in how the argument is passed...

Sorry, I just don't have time to delve into it.
