@exodo , I want to use this plugin. After activating the plugin, it seems to break something and bringing nodebb down. Not 100% sure if this is to do with this plugin, but after removing the plugin, nodebb is back. log output is below, any advise ? thanks.

I am using nodebb v0.8.2 , mongodb 3.0.7 with nodejs v0.10.40.

Hi! We have fixed the error

ngsankar

@exodo . thank you . I managed to install and configure. However after first msg is sent from telegram, nodebb got broken and stopped working.

Its strange , there is no reference to the plugin in the error log...luckily i was clearly noting down action i was doing...and guessed something going wrong here...after i removed the plug in , forum got up and running...i am able to reproduce it now..v0.8.2 is not liking something, but dont know what. Hope u r able to find it...I like the plug in..if this is resolved,...i will surely use it..thanks for ur effort...

We use 0.7.3 in our forum... But i have updated it to work on 0.8.2
Now it should work fine! Thanks you for using!

ngsankar

Working Gr8. Thanks for a gr8 plug in.

Following are may questions/clarification/feedback

It seems to be working in pull mode from telegram (ie. i hv to give /recent or /read topicid etc) to get info from forum.
Is it possible to make it work in push mode (when a topic gets new post, can it be pushed to telegram if i am subscribed to it ?

The plugin has a great potential to be a killer one, especially the more and more people are getting into telegram for obvious advantages of multi platform / multi phone.

it actually send all notifications from nodebb to telegram in push mode, command from the bot is just additional features
just have to follow the instructions on configuration of your bot and then congif it on your user profile

We are looking into developers help to make this plugin 100% compatible with 1.0 and beyond and also keeping improving it for the community

@exodo There's the NodeBB-Community org on NodeBB... typically a catch-all for plugins that need maintainers

No guarantees though.

Hi,

I recently have updated Nodebb to 1.12.2 and this plugin to ver 0.3.1. I did put the Telegram Token and the room Id but I don't receive new topics nor reply to the Telegram group.

I have tried this from the server:

curl -X POST "https://api.telegram.org/botMyToken/sendMessage" -d "chat_id=-My_Chat_id&text=testing"

This works fine. Furthermore, if I talk to the bot it reply nothing and If I put a command, I get this message:

UserID not found.. Put your TelegramID again in the telegram settings of the forum. :(

I was able to get my TelegramID by checking bot's status in:

https://api.telegram.org/botMyToken/getUpdates

It still gives me the "Uid not found" message furthermore I don't receive notifications like upvotes and so on.

I have two questions:

Why it is not sending messages to the group?
Why the bot is answering with an error message instead of my TelegramID. This is important since forum users should be able to configure it in a esay way.

Thanks!

EDIT: I noticed that if I enter the TelegramID into a user, when I create a new topic or reply to an existing topic, Nodebb restats with this error message:

2019-08-26T18:03:52.827Z [4567/14717] - error: uncaughtException: forumURL is not defined
ReferenceError: forumURL is not defined
    at /server/nodebb/node_modules/nodebb-plugin-telegram-notifications/library.js:380:55
[...]

Otherwise if I interact with a user without TelegramID, Nodebb doesn't restart. If I uninstall nodebb-plugin-telegram, all users works fine.

Probably, this plugin is very outdated. An error occurs during installation:
/admin/plugins/telegrambot Not Found
You seem to have stumbled upon a page that does not exist. Return to the home page.

I have two telegram groups. I want to post news from the forum there, but the plugin is very outdated. Can anyone help with updating this plugin? Thanks
