Time based branching.

Hi, I have been trying to create VXML document which plays a different greeting message based on the time of the day.
Also, outside of office hours I want to play an appropriate message informing the caller that they have called outside of business hours.
I am struggling with the new datetime object. Here is what I have so far.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<vxml version="2.0">
<form id="mainform">
<noinput>
<assign name="field1" expr="'21'"/>
<goto nextitem="field2" />
</noinput>

<block>
<object name="objDate" classid="datetime">
</object>

<if cond="datetime_hour&amp;gt;17">
<prompt>
<audio src="goodevening.wav"/>
</prompt>
<elseif cond="datetime_hour&amp;gt;12"/>
<prompt>
<audio src="goodafternoon.wav"/>
</prompt>&nb sp;
<else/>
<prompt>
<audio src="goodmorning.wav"/>
</prompt>
</if>

<goto nextitem="field1"/>
</block>

<field name="field1" type="digits?length=1" modal="false">
<prompt timeout="2s">
<audio src="holdforteammember.wav" />
</prompt>
<option dtmf="1" value="50" />
<option dtmf="2" value="51" />
<option dtmf="3" value="52" />
<filled>
<goto nextitem="field2"/>
</filled>
</field>

<object name="field2" classid="connect">
<param name="extension" expr="field1"/>
<filled>
<prompt>
<audio src="blank.wav" />
</prompt>
<exit/>
</filled>
<nomatch>
<goto nextitem="field1"/>
</nomatch>
</object>

</form>
</vxml>

Hi, find below
correctusage of datetime object for your case

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<vxml
version="2.0">
<form id="mainform">

<noinput>
<assign name="field1" expr="'21'"/>

<goto nextitem="field2" />
</noinput>

<object name="objDate" classid="datetime">

<filled>
<if
cond="datetime_hour&amp;gt;17">
<prompt>

<audio src="goodevening.wav"/>

</prompt>
<elseif
cond="datetime_hour&amp;gt;12"/>
<prompt>

<audio src="goodafternoon.wav"/>

</prompt>& amp;nb sp;
<else/>

<prompt>
<audio
src="goodmorning.wav"/>
</prompt>

</if>
</filled>

</object>

--- your code goes here ---

</form>

</vxml>


Please consider, that vxmlobject is form item.It means that vxml object can bedeclared
onlyas child element of form (not block), while block is just another type of
form item.

Great, that makes more sense.

Ok I'll try this out.
Thanks.
