Hello
I have little experience with the dialog module -so sorry if the quesiton is silly-, and I was wondering if I could use it for doing accounting (acc works just fine, but I was looking for a unique stop record that includes all the call information). The basic idea would be to assign the initial INVITE to a profile; and then, when BYE is received, build a cdr based of the dialog attributes...but afaik , upon reception of the BYE the dialog is destroyed. is there a way to access the dlg attributes inside the script when the BYE transaction is processed?
Thanks in advance
Javi

Basically, what you are referring to is dialog-based CDR generation. Although it's not possible to do in the current Kamailio, a co-worker of mine and me have been working hard lately to implement this specific feature. It requires changes to the dialog module (such as allowing access to dialogs even after the BYE message is processed, just as you mentioned) and extending the acc module by a CDR mode.
The plan is to get the new code into the project ASAP, certainly by the time SR 3.2 is released. So watch out for a new repository branch and an announcement on the mailing list to get your hands dirty with the new stuff soon.
