Working on group

[mattiaburati]

Hi, today i tried to set up this bot, it work only from bot interface, if i invite the bot on a group it will not save any photo, but command still work

How does the output of your /info command look like?
Something like this?

Current settings:

Name: testgroup
Active: True
Accepted Media: document photo
Verbose: False
Allow duplicates: True
Sort files by User: True

[mattiaburati]

Thanks you for reply. The name of the group is "Prova" and this is my output of /info.

[Nukesor]

Well. Are there any error messages in the bot output?
I guess you adjusted the TARGET_DIR option in the config.py to your desired output location.

[mattiaburati]

So, this is my config.py if you want you can try my bot by searching on telegram @ohmd_bot

I just tested your bot and everything seems to work fine, except for saving/zipping files.
I assume the prova directory is empty as well?

My first guess would be that archivebot doesn't handle files/paths accordingly to a windows filesystem yet.
This should be a fairly quick fix, but I currently don't own a computer with a Windows OS right now.
Do you have some spare time to investigate this issue?

[mattiaburati]

Prova folder have only photos and document saved by the bot (not i group). If you want i can give you the access to my vps so you can work with windows and bot :)

[Nukesor]

Ahh I have an Idea. Did you disable the privacy mode for your bot?
If you run ArchiveBot as a normal Bot (Not an Userbot) you need to disable the privacy mode via the BotFather.
Telegram Bots aren't allowed to read any messages from groups by default.

Solved... damn bro what a genious ahaha. Now it work also in the group, beautiful. I suggest you to write this fix on your readme 🗡

[Nukesor]

Already added it to the README :)

Hi, i found a new problem. The bot works only with 2 member of my group, i tried also to run my bot as a user bot but nothing change.

[Nukesor]

I also got errors for some members of some groups, but I didn't find out what went wrong.
In case you find the Bug, feel free to open a PR :)
I currently don't have time to properly maintain and debug the archivebot, but I'll happily accept PR's.

The error you're seeing for certain members might be from this part of the code:
https://github.com/Nukesor/archivebot/blob/master/archivebot/archivebot.py#L284

Those should be and's not or's.

[Nukesor]

Damn @HackedServer ... Your name gave me a heart attack for a split second, when I read my mails.

Thanks for the hint though. I'll look into it.

I just found some time to look at this project again :)

The installation and venv handling is now streamlined and using poetry.

I also did some cleanup/refactoring and fixed some obvious bugs. I'm going to let the bot running for a few days to check whether I can find more bugs, but for now it's looking quite good.

Stickers are now btw. not longer downloaded unless explicitly specified ;)
