Problem: my bot is used very intensively. So at one moment the stats.lua file becomes so big that it cannot be written into anymore. Because of some reason it becomes empty and the following error occurs:

So i suggest using sqlite for storing stats.

Hi,

Isn't it allowed for a user who also is a bot to trigger the plugins? It seems that the msg_valid function returns false in the following if:

if msg.out then
   return false
end

Ya tengo el bot funcionando, muy bueno para el ocio y util también pero tengo las siguientes preguntas:
¿Donde se guarda imagenes del Bot, todo lo que descarga y carga en el Telegram?
¿Como puedo configurar lo de Twitter? Me sale el siguiente mensaje: You aren't allowed to send tweets
¿Que viene siendo el comando set y get?

Edit: Otra pregunta, ¿cómo podría dejar el bot en modo background? Podría usar el screen pero mejor preguntar antes.

The version crashes with:

telegram-cli: tgl/queries.c:148: tglq_send_query_ex: Assertion `DC->auth_key_id' failed.

Anyone else has it?

It seems that the call to the api http://dulcinea.herokuapp.com/api/?query= in plugins/rae.lua is not working.

"Application Error
An error occurred in the application and your page could not be served. Please try again in a few moments.

If you are the application owner, check your logs for details."

There is a way to send a particular message to a specific person?
I have the bot added in a group conversation and I want to write a plugin that sends a PM when a username is cited.

Thanks

Please :)

Is it possible to send audio files as voice messages? I know that there is a send_document() function, but this function just displays the download button on the client, not the play button.

The following codes is purposed to send custom sticker. However, I'm not sure why send_photo() doesn't deliver the image :(.

function run(msg, matches)

print ("processing sticker " .. matches[1])

local response = ""
local rootpath = "/home/ariefbayu/telegram-bot/stickers/reps/"

local sticker_pairs = {
    ["smile"]="ladysmile",
    ["awesome"]="ras-awesome",
    ["sad"]="belu-sad"
}

print (" matched: " .. sticker_pairs[ matches[1] ])

  for k, v in pairs(sticker_pairs) do
    print("checking sticker", k)

    if k == matches[1] then

        if messageToAllowed(msg.to.id) == false then

            return ""

        end


        local receiver = get_receiver(msg)
        local file_path = rootpath .. sticker_pairs[ matches[1] ] .. ".webp"
        print(file_path)
        if file_exists(file_path) == true then


            response = matches[1]

            local cb_extra = {
                file_path = file_path,
                cb_function = cb_function,
                cb_extra = cb_extra
            }
            -- Call to remove with optional callback
            -- send_photo(receiver, file_path, rmtmp_cb, cb_extra)

            send_photo(receiver, file_path, ok_cb, cb_extra)
        else
            response = "sticker is missing..."
        end
        break

    end

  end


    return response
end

function messageToAllowed(id)
local response = true

return response
end

return {
    description = "load custom stickers", 
    usage = "/sticker [sticker-name]",
    patterns = {
            "^/sticker (.*)$"
        }, 
    run = run 
}

Bot is working great, all but the twitter part.
I've installed oauth and other dependancies. Created an app on twitter, generated keys and secrets, etc.
Gave the app permissions, but still getting 401 errors.
Tried changing system time, callback, or none, giving login perms to app, but still unable to post.

Any ideas?

This command is not working only for me? I was running modified bot.lua and utils.lua, and thought it was my fault, but it seem that it isn't working with your files as well.

It records users stats, but the command won't work. Can you reproduce this?

In some cases bot crashes because the previous task is not completed yet (for example, see #36).

[52%Up]> telegram-cli: tgl/queries.c:1635: send_part: Assertion `f->part_size == x' failed.

I suggest adding command stack, something like peer|command|timestamp, so that all commands will be executed successively.

Hola, estoy probando este genial bot y me ha encantado.
El problema es que no consigo limitar el uso de comando a x persona, ya que me gustaría introducir el estado de la ram, discos duros, y demas, y no quiero que esos comandos lo vayan a poder utilizar un tercero.

¿Como lo podria usar?

Gracias!

A user to call a plugin command in the group, you can get your answer in private/direct message.
The ability to set some plugins to direct the response outside the group which the user requested message. Eg.

In group "Telegram" the user "Bet" request plugin " !help " or " !img ", the response return in private message. Not in group.

Good day, yagop!
Can I ask you to write a plugin to run the shell script?
input: name of the file, like miui_MI3WMI4W_5.3.13_553221c9f5_4.4.zip
must: run shell or lua script, who can generate a link for download file:

cd /home/user/ROMS/
axel http://bigota.d.miui.com/$nowd/miui_MI3WMI4W_5.3.13_553221c9f5_4.4.zip

thank you in advance!

I wanted to change the number (user) the telegram bot was using. So I revoked access to the bot from my number. Now I can't setup a new number anymore. What can I do to fix this? Tried reinstalling it but that didn't do anything. Are the user settings saved elsewhere?

Spanish:

Hola, tengo una petición que es un plugin que obtenga por RSS nuevo contenido en paginas web y mande un mensaje en una conversación el contenido. No tengo ni idea como se haría y seria bastante útil por si alguien se anima, le agradecería mucho.

Hii, I have a request which is a plugin to get new content via RSS web pages and send a message in a conversation content. I have no idea as you would and would be quite useful if anyone is encouraged, we appreciate it. Sorry my english.

Thanks.

Hello,

I've deployed your program on my raspi, but I have the problem, that my raspi marks my messages as read all the time, althoug I didn't read them at all. It is clear to me why this happens, but I don't know how to prevent the bot from doing this. Is there a simple way to fix this? (Maybe you can only mark messages as read to which a pattern matches)

Send email with summary of messages day.

Bueno tengo la intención de crear un plugin para deshabilitar todos los comandos para ciertos usuarios, ¿cómo podría hacerlo?

Add plugin that grabs <title> tag contents from pages in URL's and post it to the Telegram groups.

First of all: Thank you for your github contrib!

I have a small problem. Everytime I start the script, it end with errors:

*** lua: ./bot/bot.lua:1: module 'socket.http' not found: no field package.preload['socket.http'] no file '/usr/local/share/lua/5.2/socket/http.lua' no file '/usr/local/share/lua/5.2/socket/http/init.lua'

I am sorry for opening it up here but i just wanted your skype id (regarding Telegram Bot)

Pues perdí el numero del bot, y pues deseo actualizarlo, ¿cómo lo puedo cambiar?

Hi,
After running sed -i "s/yourusername/$(whoami)/g" etc/telegram.conf
I get: sed: 1: "etc/telegram.conf": invalid command code e.

Any ideas?

I would like to collaborate to translate the telegram-bot to Portuguese Brazil.
What do you recommend to keep the internationalization?
We can think of an .potfile ?

Hi there!

Firstly, seriously nice work with this, It's totally reliable and simple to script for.
However I have a small issue. I'm wanting to push alerts to the process, and have the bot read them.

I've started by creating an API where the bot can check the alerts and if one exists it posts it in the chat however I need to make this check every n'th minute or second.

How can i create a plugin that checks every x, without it looking for a users interaction or input via the chat.

Cheers
Dan.

is there any sample plugin that can connect to database (oracle, mysql) and do the query?

Hi ,

Telegram-bot is great & really helpful !

Now i know user_info command in tg can give username . So how do i get username in telegram-bot , is there a interface in telegram-bot execute tg commands ( like user_info ) , or are there any other means to achieve this ?

thanks !

When there are a lot of simultaneous requests, the module fails with that errors:

I think that this error happens when one requests the image while another image is being downloaded.

Also it freezes if the image is failed to download (for example, 404 error)

Update: this bot has to have some kind of stack for all request, i'll open anotner issue.

Buenas:

Estoy intentando escribir un plugin que sea capaz de reenviar un mensaje recibido al usuario que lo haya ejecutado.

Me explico, un plugin que ejecute el comando de Telegram-CLI: fwd user msg_id siendo user el valor que devuelva msg.from.print_name, y msg_id un número entero que identifique un mensaje cualquiera que haya recibido el cliente.

He probado usando la función: fwd_msg(msg.from.print_name, 4, ok_cb, false), función que he visto dentro de la documentación de tg, pero no devuelve ningún mensaje (el 4 es un ejemplo). Aparentemente no es la función correcta. ¿De qué forma puedo reenviar mensajes a través de un plugin?

Gracias :)

Summary: how can I forward messages from a plugin?

Hey,
First of all kudos for making awesome bot 👍
I want to make feature that i can disable certain commands for certain chats. Best way is it to solve with plugin? And where i can get chat id? Can i get like 'user#id'..user_id ?

Media files are now downloaded to /tmp but never cleaned. After telegram uploads the downloaded stuff there is no real reason to leave them around, is there?

An additon in the bot.lua file like this could resolve this:

-- Callback to remove tmp files
  function rmtmp_cb(file_path, success, result)
     os.remove(file_path)
  end

function download_to_file( url )
    print("url a descargar: "..url)
    req, c, h = http.request(url)
    htype = h["content-type"]
    vardump(c)
    print("content-type: "..htype)
    if htype == "image/jpeg" then
      file_name = string.random(5)..".jpg"
      file_path = "/tmp/"..file_name
    else
      if htype == "image/gif" then
        file_name = string.random(5)..".gif"
        file_path = "/tmp/"..file_name
      else
        if htype == "image/png" then
          file_name = string.random(5)..".png"
          file_path = "/tmp/"..file_name
        else
          file_name = url:match("([^/]+)$")
          file_path = "/tmp/"..file_name
        end
      end
    end
    file = io.open(file_path, "w+")
    file:write(req)
    file:close()

    -- Schedule a cleanup callback
   postpone(rmtmp_cb, file_path, config.tmpcleanup_delay)
    return file_path
  end

Something like 10 or 20 seconds should be enough.
What do you think?

It would be cool if the bot could extract and post the video title, the author and the description from a posted YouTube video!
Nice work btw.!

Usage: !addquote remarcable text
Description: Save "remarcable text" in a file with date and chat name.

Thanks

¡Buenas! Estoy probando a que al mandar un !ram me devuelva una función os.execute, pero me salta un error lo haga de la forma que lo haga:
*** lua: ./bot/bot.lua:77: bad argument #1 to 'len' (string expected, got boolean)

Mi código es el siguiente, ¡muchas gracias!

function run(msg, matches)
    local receiver = get_receiver(msg)
    print('receiver: '..receiver)
    return os.execute("free -g | awk '/^Mem:/{print $4}'")
end

return {
    description = "RAM Libre", 
    usage = "!ram",
    patterns = {"^!ram$"}, 
    run = run 
}

Imagino que será porque os.execute devuelve un true / false y es lo que el bot trata de mostrar, en vez del output real.

A wikipedia plugin would be nice! It would send the first paragraph from the wikipedia article for example.

Hi,
is there any way to automatically restart telegram-bot in case it crashes?
Thanks!

I really love your bot! Could you add an anti-spam protection, so that the same user can use e.g. !echo only every 5-10 seconds or so? A customized interval would be cool, too!

Is it possible to change the bots name via a config file?
Or maybe talk as the bot while logged in via SSH (from inside the daemon)?

I'm contemplating writing something which allows disabling plugins. This would make deployment (for me at least) a lot easier.

Something along these lines:

• move bot/config.json to /etc/config.json.sample
• write instructions for user to create a config.json file
• have a construct in the config file which allows to disable plugins, for example, something like:

...
"disable" : {
    "youtube.lua": true,
   "rae.lua"
},
...

And have the loading of plugins and the !reload command use that.

Thoughts?

Hi, I'm unable to use the msg.from.id in my plugin, am I missing something?

Thanks in advance, greetings from Brazil.

Not really an issue but rather a comment on the installation instructions -- luarocks uses unzip, which at least on my Ubuntu Server VMs is not installed by default, so you might want to add it to the apt-get install line.

If you do not have unzip installed, you get errors like this one:

$ sudo luarocks install oauth
Warning: Failed searching manifest: Failed extracting manifest file
Installing https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rocks-moonscript-org/moonrocks-mirror/master/oauth-0.0.6-1.src.rock...

Error: Failed unpacking rock file: /tmp/luarocks_luarocks-rock-oauth-0.0.6-1-6405/oauth-0.0.6-1.src.rock

As the bot cannot into secret chats, i suggest dropping them in the very beginning.
