scienza / scienziati_bot Goto Github PK

Some messages (like the empty list one) are still in English

We should move all the strings to a "resources" file
Or a "strings.resource" file
Just comment with file names in case
its probably gonna take a while

saves a message from the group to get it later on
theorical usage:
/save - in reply to a message
It will then compare in /savedmessages in a paginated mode

{bot text message}
[saved message 1]
[saved message 2]
[close]   [next]

Get a user bio via command instead of inline query
Also, inline query has a cache, so the result is not always correct

The bot should send a message containing the stack trace before dying

• Forwarding to channel - Takes a comment and forwards to an hardcoded channel the message and a link to the message replied to
• Save referred message- makes the bot stateful, requires a change in the DB structure
• Print logs about the actions the bot takes
• Save for later - saves a message from the group to get it later on

Add configuration file and/or arguments
Passes the configs (like the admin list, bot token etc...) from env. variable (for docker), argument or configuration file.
Need to choose the config file format.
Poposes:

• JSON
• TOML
• YAML
• INI

Forwarding to channel - Takes a comment and forwards to an hardcoded channel the message and a link to the message replied to

A closed list shoud be implemented.
In such list people can only be added by administrators.
An example would be a "admin" list, invoked to require the attention of the administrators.

A subcategory should be joind by an individual
Once that someone calls the parent category, all the subcategories should be called

A check needs to be done, to not call the same list twice...
Duplicate shall be removed

Acqually, the code quality sucks from every prospective

makes the bot stateful, requires a change in the DB structure
Usecase:
saves the bot's biography message in DB
if user doesn't reply to it, aborst new bio action

Telegram includes the possibility to get a user's locale.
We should translate the strings in english to allow a greater audience, maybe
Requires #22 first

The bot should send a message when a user enters the group, saying welcome and inviting the user to subscribe to some lists

Print logs about the actions the bot takes

The strings of the bot should be taken from the database.
A new table should be made.
A discussion about the table's structure should be made.
The table should provide a message both in english and in italian.
example:

The bot replies to online query, it should be avoided.
