Description:I'm trying to document the "multiple parking lots" feature of Asterisk 1.6.1, and I can't get it to work.  No matter what I try, calls get parked in the default parking lot.

****** STEPS TO REPRODUCE ******

Use the following dialplan to test:

[parktest]
include => edvinapark

exten => 1,1,Answer()
exten => 1,2,Echo()
exten => 1,3,Playback(vm-goodbye)
exten => 1,4,Hangup()

exten => 2,1,Verbose(2,Parking lot is current set to ${CHANNEL(parkinglot)})
exten => 2,n,Set(CHANNEL(parkinglot)=edvinapark)
exten => 2,n,Set(__PARKINGLOT=edvinapark)
exten => 2,n,Answer()
exten => 2,n,Milliwatt()
exten => 2,n,Playback(vm-goodbye)
exten => 2,n,Hangup()

; park in a specific parking space
exten => 3,1,Set(PARKINGEXTEN=703)
exten => 3,2,Park()

; attempt to park in a specific parking space in a specific parking lot
exten => 4,1,Set(PARKINGEXTEN=803)
exten => 4,n,Set(PARKINGLOT=edvinapark)
exten => 4,n,Verbose(2,Parking lot is current set to ${CHANNEL(parkinglot)})
exten => 4,n,Park()

; same as 4 above, but setting the parking lot via the CHANNEL function first
exten => 5,1,Set(PARKINGEXTEN=803)
exten => 5,n,Set(PARKINGLOT=edvinapark)
exten => 5,n,Set(CHANNEL(parkinglot)=edvinapark)
exten => 5,n,Verbose(2,Parking lot is current set to ${CHANNEL(parkinglot)})
exten => 5,n,Park()

Now, call either extension 1 or extension 2, and then try transferring to extension 700, 3, 4, and 5.  In no case does the call get parked in the "edvinapark" parking lot.  Instead, it always gets parked in the "default" parking lot.

(And, as an aside, I wonder if we should really allow people to park calls in spots not specified in features.conf... but that's another topic for another day.)

****** ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ******

As an example, I called extension 2, transferred to extension 700 (default parking extension):

It turns out that I should have been using the parking context name (parkinglot_edvina) instead of the parking lot context (edvinapark).  After changing that, I can choose the parking lot by either setting the PARKINGLOT variable or by using the CHANNEL function.

Closed, as it's not really a bug.
