Configuration

From the config.ini file it is also possible to easily change the settings of the script. Changing these settings allow everyone to have a customized version of the script. The settings can be found under the [!SETTINGS!] section in the config.ini file.
Below a list of the settings and a description of what each one does:

1. lite_version - Disables every other settings and only enables the bio setting. In other words it only allows for the "About" section to be changed. It is False by default.
2. first_name - Allows for the first name to be changed. If True the first name will be Listening to <song name>. Usually it is suggested to set the same value as for last_name, and is True by default.
3. last_name - Allows for the last name to be changed. If True the last name will be by <artist name>. It is suggested to set the same value as for first_name, which is True by default.
4. profile_photo - The profile picture can be changed to the album's cover. It is True by default.
5. bio - Defines if and what should be changed in the "About" section of the user's profile. It can be either "link" or "info". The default value is link.

It is possible to start and stop the script via a message to yourself (Saved Messages). You can either use /tgbiofy start or /tgbiofy stop. The script updates every 30 seconds, so you may need to wait at most 30 seconds before seeing the changes on your profile.
