I do not use the default parkinglots on my Elastix systems. Instead I have setup this:

Parking works great, but FOP2 does not show them.

I will look at it this evening and report back. thank you.

no luck yet. The built in old FOP shows the call in the parking slot, but FOP2 does not.

Parking is not checked in the FreePBX interface.

I created buttons_custom.cfg as I am not using groups. This is only being used by the operator and her backup at the moment. Do I need to include it in the fop2.cfg someplace?

Hi,

The first screenshot you show is not from FOP but the Elastix Panel or something like that.

Regarding your parking lot, your context uses the "parkinglot_lot2" context, as such, the button definition in fop2 should reflect that:

[PARK/parkinglot_lot2]
type=park
context= (not sure here! if parkedcalls or parkinglot_lot2)

Try it that way and see if you see parked calls.

That first shot is the default FreePBX FOP that no one uses. Just showed that so you could see that the call WAS there.

I created the buttons_custom.cfg you mentioned as noted in the end of my post using the correct context (it is parkinglot_lot2).
That was the only thing in buttons_custom.cfg. If I need to do it some other way, let me know.

Nothing in it except this. The files are in /etc/asterisk/fop2. This was a default install from the Elasitx 2.4 add on screen.

Nailed it! I had to hide the defualt one because it showed me 2 buttons, but that was simple enough.

This is working great for my on site PBX.

For my hosted PBX, i have 3 branch office reporting to it and 3 separate parking lots set up.

The buttons work great, but as expected based on a previous comment you made, if I create a user with any group restrictions they will not see the custom button.

Is there a way we can add this custom button to something so it will show up when groups are used?

I don't care if all 3 parking lots are visible to all users, but I want to narrow down the extensions so the people in city a are not seeing the people in city b

Have not had time to work on this yet, but I intend to. thank you for the response.
