I’m just learning VDP, and trying to create a standard user macro. I am able to define the steps that I need the macro to have, but when I go to call the macro from a context, I don’t have the macro items in the toolbar.

If I open the quick office sample, which also uses a macro, the macro items are available in the toolbar.

Seems like I must be missing something. Why wouldn’t the Macro, MacroExclusive, etc. components show up for me to use?

gtreece,

I think I know what may be causing this, can you upload dial plan so I could take a look?

I will recreate what I had, and attach it. Do you want the vdp file or the actual extensions.conf that it generates?

I believe the root of the problem you are experiencing is related to the dial plan version. If the dial plan version is greater than 1.4 than Gosub block will be the preferred one as opposed to Macro. You can check the dial plan version by clicking “Dialplan version” button in a Visual Dialplan main window. In addition you may upload VDP file and I will check the dial plan version for you.

Yes, my dial plan version is set to 1.8. I was not under the impression that macro capability was eliminated in that version. I’ll review what I’m trying to accomplish. 1.8 allows templates as well, which maybe I can do as custom code. I’ll see what works best.
