Getting Started

Install all required binary dependencies
Install ETM

.. code:: shell

   pip3 install efb-telegram-master

Enable and configure ETM using the EFB configuration wizard, or enable it manually in the profile’s config.yaml.

The path of your profile storage directory depends on your configuration.

(As of EFB 2, default profile storage directory is located at ~/.ehforwarderbot/profiles/default )

Configure the channel (manual configure instructions as follows)

Alternative installation methods ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

ETM also has other alternative installation methods contributed by the community, including:

AUR package maintained by KeLiu (python-efb-telegram-master-git)
Other installation scripts and containers (e.g. Docker)_

.. _KeLiu: https://github.com/specter119 .. _AUR package: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python-efb-telegram-master-git .. _installation scripts and containers (e.g. Docker): https://efb-modules.1a23.studio#scripts-and-containers-eg-docker

Manual Configuration

Set up a bot ~~~~~~~~~~~~

Create a bot with @BotFather_, give it a name and a username. Then you’ll get a token, which will be used later. Keep this token secure, as it gives who owns it the full access to the bot.

.. [email protected]: https://t.me/botfather

Use /setjoingroups to allow your bot to join groups. Use /setprivacy to disable the privacy restriction of the bot, so that it can receive all messages in the group.

Complete configuration file ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Configuration file is stored at <profile directory>/blueset.telegram/config.yaml.

A sample config file can be as follows:

.. code:: yaml

##################
# Required items #
##################

# [Bot Token]
# This is the token you obtained from @BotFather
token: "012345678:1Aa2Bb3Vc4Dd5Ee6Gg7Hh8Ii9Jj0Kk1Ll2M"

# [List of Admin User IDs]
# ETM will only process messages and commands from users
# listed below. This ID can be obtained from various ways 
# on Telegram.

Usage

At the beginning, messages from all senders will be sent to the user directly, that means every message will be mixed in the same conversation. By linking a chat, you can redirect messages from a specific sender to an empty group for a more organized conversation.

In a nutshell, ETM offers the following commands, you can also send it to BotFather for a command list::

help - Show commands list.
link - Link a remote chat to a group.
unlink_all - Unlink all remote chats from a group.
info - Display information of the current Telegram chat.
chat - Generate a chat head.
extra - Access additional features from Slave Channels.
update_info - Update info of linked Telegram group.
react - Send a reaction to a message, or show a list of reactors.
rm - Remove a message from its remote chat.

.. note::

In case of multiple admins are assigned, they may all send message on
your behalf, but only the 0th admin can receive direct message from
the bot.

/link: Link a chat ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Create a new group, invite your bot to the group
Send /link directly to the bot, then select your preferred slave chat.
Tap “Link” and select your new group. You can also choose to unlink or relink a linked chat from this menu.
Tap “Start” at the bottom of your screen, and you should see a success message: “Chat linked.”

.. note::

You may introduce non-ETM admin users to the group, however, they:

-  Can read all messages send from the related remote chat;
-  May NOT send message on your behalf.

If the “Link” button doesn’t work for you, you may try the “Manual Link/Relink” button. To manually link a remote chat:

Add the bot to the group you want to link to
Copy the code provided by the bot, and send it to the group.
If the group is linked successfully, you would receive a confirmation from the bot.

Also, you can send /unlink_all to a group to unlink all remote chats from it.

Also, if you want to link a chat which you just used, you can simply reply /link quoting a previous message from that chat without choosing from the long chat list.

Advanced feature: Filtering ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

If you have just too many chats, and being too tired for keep tapping Next >, or maybe you just want to find a way to filter out what you’re looking for, now ETM has equipped /chat and /list with filtering feature. Attach your keyword behind, and you can get a filtered result.

E.g.: /chat Eana will give you all chats has the word “Eana”.

.. admonition:: Technical Details

The filter query is in fact a regular expression matching. We used
Python’s ``re.search`` with flags ``re.DOTALL | re.IGNORECASE`` in
this case, i.e.: ``.`` matches everything including line breaks, and
the query is NOT case-sensitive. Each comparison is done against a
specially crafted string which allows you to filter multiple criteria.

Channel: <Channel name>
Channel ID: <Channel ID>
Name: <Chat name>
Alias: (<Chat Alias>|None)
ID: <Chat Unique ID>
Type: (Private|Group|System)
Mode: [Linked]
Description: <Description>
Notification: (ALL|MENTION|NONE)
Other: <Python Dictionary String>

.. note::

Type can be either “User” or “Group”

Other is the vendor specific information provided by slave channels.
Format of such information is specified in their documentations
respectively.

Examples:

Look for all WeChat groups: Channel: WeChat.*Type: Group
Look for everyone who has no alias (and those with an alias called “None”): Alias: None
Look for all entries contain “John” and “Johnny” in any order: (?=.*John)(?=.*Johnny)

Send a message ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Send to a linked chat ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

You can send message as you do in a normal Telegram chat.

What is supported:

Send/forward message in all supported types
Quote-reply to a message
Send message with inline bot in supported types

What is NOT supported:

@ reference
Markdown/HTML formatting
Inline buttons
Messages with unsupported types.

.. note::

This only applies to Telegram groups that are linked to a single remote
chat, groups that are linked with multiple remote chats shall work in the
same way as non-linked chats.

Send to a non-linked chat ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

To send a message to a non-linked chat, you should “quote-reply” to a message or a “chat head” that is sent from your recipient. Those messages should appear only in the bot conversation.

In a non-linked chat, quote-reply will not be passed on to the remote channel, everything else is supported as it does in a linked chat.

Quick reply in non-linked chats ''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' ETM provides a mechanism that allow you to keep sending messages to the same recipient without quoting every single time. ETM will store the remote chat you sent a message to in every Telegram chat (i.e. a Telegram group or the bot), which is known as the “last known recipient” of the Telegram chat.

In case where recipient is not indicated for a message, ETM will try to deliver it to the “last known recipient” in the Telegram chat only if:

your last message with the “last known recipient” is with in an hour, and
the last message in this Telegram chat is from the “last known recipient”.

Edit and delete message ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

In EFB v2, the framework added support to message editing and removal, and so does ETM. However, due to the limitation of Telegram Bot API, although you may have selected “Delete for the bot”, or “Delete for everyone” while deleting messages, the bot would not know anything about it. Therefore, if you want your message to be removed from a remote chat, edit your message and prepend it with rm``` (it’sR,M, and~```, not single quote), so that the bot knows that you want to delete the message.

Alternatively, you can also reply /rm to a message to remove it from its remote chat. This can be useful when you cannot edit the message directly (sticker, location, etc.), or when the message is not sent via ETM.

Please also notice that some slave channels may not support editing and/or deleting messages depends on their implementations.

/chat: Chat head ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

If you want to send a message to a non-linked chat which has not yet sent you a message, you can ask ETM to generate a “chat head”. Chat head works similarly to an incoming message, you can reply to it to send messages to your recipient.

Send /chat to the bot, and choose a chat from the list. When you see “Reply to this message to chat with ...”, it’s ready to go.

Advanced feature: Filtering '''''''''''''''''''''''''''

Filter is also available in /chat command. Please refer to the same chapter above, under /link for details.

/extra: External commands from slave channels (“additional features”) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Some slave channels may provide commands that allows you to remotely control those accounts, and achieve extra functionality, those commands are called “additional features”. To view the list of available extra functions, send /extra to the bot, you will receive a list of commands available.

Those commands are named like “\ /<number>_<command_name>\ ”, and can be called like an CLI utility. (of course, advanced features like piping etc would not be supported)

/update_info: Update details of linked Telegram group ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

ETM can help you to update the name and profile picture of a group to match with appearance in the remote chat. This will also add a list of current members to the Telegram group description if the remote chat is a group.

This functionality is available when:

This command is sent to a group
The bot is an admin of the group
The group is linked to exactly one remote chat
The remote chat is accessible

Profile picture will not be set if it’s not available from the slave channel.

/react: Send reactions to a message or show a list of reactors ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Reply /react to a message to show a list of chat members who have reacted to the message and what their reactions are.

Reply /react followed by an emoji to react to this message, e.g. /react 👍. Send /react - to remove your reaction.

Note that some slave channels may not accept message reactions, and some channels have a limited reactions you can send with. Usually when you send an unaccepted reaction, slave channels can provide a list of suggested reactions you may want to try instead.

/rm: Delete a message from its remote chat ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You can reply /rm to a message to remove it from its remote chat. Comparing to prepending ``rm``` to a message, you can use this command even when you cannot edit the message directly (sticker, location, etc.), or when the message is not sent via ETM. It can also allow you to remove messages sent by others if provided by the slave channel.

Please notice that some slave channels may not support removing messages depends on their implementations.

Telegram Channel support ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

ETM supports linking remote chats to Telegram Channels with partial support.

The bot can:

Link one or more remote chats to a Telegram Channel
Check and manage link status of the channel
Update channel title and profile pictures accordingly

It cannot:

Process messages sent by you or others to the channel
Accept commands in the channel

Currently the following commands are supported in channels:

/start for manual chat linking
/link to manage chats linked to the channel
/info to show information of the channel
/update_info to update the channel title and picture

How to use:

Add the bot as an administrator of the channel
Send commands to the channel
Forward the command message to the bot privately

.. admonition:: Technical Details

Telegram Bot API prevents bot from knowing who actually sent a message
in a channel (not including signatures as that doesn't reflect the numeric
ID of the sender). In fact, that is the same for normal users in a channel
too, even admins.

If messages from channels are to be processed unconditionally, not only
that other admins in existing channels can add malicious admins to it,
anyone on Telegram, once knows your bot username, can add it to a channel
and use the bot on your behalf. Thus, we think that it is not safe to
process messages directly from a channel.

Limitations

Due to the technical constraints of both Telegram Bot API and EH Forwarder Bot framework, ETM has the following limitations:

Some Telegram message types are not supported:
- Game messages
- Invoice messages
- Payment messages
- Passport messages
- Vote messages
ETM cannot process any message from another Telegram bot.
Some components in Telegram messages are dropped:
- Original author and signature of forwarded messages
- Formats, links and link previews
- Buttons attached to messages
- Details about inline bot used on messages
Some components in messages from slave channels are dropped:
- @ references not referring to you.
The Telegram bot can only
- send you any file up to 50 MB,
- receive file from you up to 20 MB.

Experimental flags

Network configuration: timeout tweaks

This chapter is adapted from Python Telegram Bot wiki__, licensed under CC-BY 3.0.

__ https://github.com/python-telegram-bot/python-telegram-bot/wiki/Handling-network-errors#tweaking-ptb

python-telegram-bot performs HTTPS requests using urllib3. urllib3 provides control over connect_timeout & read_timeout. urllib3 does not separate between what would be considered read & write timeout, so read_timeout serves for both. The defaults chosen for each of these parameters is 5 seconds.

The connect_timeout value controls the timeout for establishing a connection to the Telegram server(s).

Changing the defaults of read_timeout & connect_timeout can be done by adjusting values request_kwargs section in ETM’s config.yaml.

.. code:: yaml

# ... request_kwargs: read_timeout: 6 connect_timeout: 7

Run ETM behind a proxy

This chapter is adapted from Python Telegram Bot wiki__, licensed under CC-BY 3.0.

__ https://github.com/python-telegram-bot/python-telegram-bot/wiki/Working-Behind-a-Proxy

You can appoint proxy specifically for ETM without affecting other channels running in together in the same EFB instance. This can also be done by adjusting values request_kwargs section in ETM’s config.yaml.

HTTP proxy server ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

.. code:: yaml

request_kwargs: # ... proxy_url: http://PROXY_HOST:PROXY_PORT/ # Optional, if you need authentication: username: PROXY_USER password: PROXY_PASS

SOCKS5 proxy server ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is configuration is supported, but requires an optional/extra python package. To install:

.. code:: shell

pip install python-telegram-bot[socks]

.. code:: yaml

request_kwargs: # ... proxy_url: socks5://URL_OF_THE_PROXY_SERVER:PROXY_PORT # Optional, if you need authentication: urllib3_proxy_kwargs: username: PROXY_USER password: PROXY_PASS

RPC interface

A standard Python XML RPC server__ is implemented in ETM 2. It can be enabled by adding a rpc section in ETM’s config.yml file.

__ https://docs.python.org/3/library/xmlrpc.html

.. code:: yaml

rpc: server: 127.0.0.1 port: 8000

.. warning:: The xmlrpc module is not secure against maliciously constructed data. Do not expose the interface to untrusted parties or the public internet, and turn off after use.

Exposed functions ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Functions in the db (database manager) class and the RPCUtilities class are exposed. Refer to the source code for their documentations.

How to use ~~~~~~~~~~

Set up a SimpleXMLRPCClient in any Python script and call any of the exposed functions directly. For details, please consult Python documentation on xmlrpc__.

__ https://docs.python.org/3/library/xmlrpc.html

Translation support

ETM supports translated user interface with the help of community. The bot detects languages of Telegram Client of the admins from their messages, and automatically matches with a supported language on the go. Otherwise, you can set your language by turning off the auto_locale feature, and then setting the locale environmental variable (LANGUAGE, LC_ALL, LC_MESSAGES or LANG) to one of our supported languages. Meanwhile, you can help to translate this project into your languages on our Crowdin page_.

.. note::

If your are installing from source code, you will not get translations
of the user interface without manual compile of message catalogs (``.mo``)
prior to installation.

[FR] Resent the incoming photo as a file

opened on 2023-02-11 19:16:52 by QieSen

When the flag send_image_as_file is false, users reply to an incoming photo message with /resent command, ETM will reply to the selected message (Easy to trace back), then resent that photo as a file to the session. Or return an error if the message id got invalid due to EWS session refresh.

When the flag is true, ETM should ignore the /resent command, or return a error.

当ETM属性 send_image_as_file 为false时响应 /resent 指令，用户发送指令回复一条bot转发的图片消息，ETM会引用该消息（方便回溯定位）并将该图片以文件形式重新发到会话中。若EWS会话刷新导致该消息id失效则返回报错。若上述ETM属性为true则不响应 /resent 命令或返回错误。

fix bug: extra command attributes

Extra command did not have name and desc attributes.

fix bug: video cannot be received

We don't seem to need either file or path to exist at the same time. In fact, some slaves have only one attribute, file.

[FR] automatic group creating feature

opened on 2022-08-26 23:48:45 by QQ-War

Currently, for each contact or group in slave channel, we need to create new group and use /link command to link out. I am thinking of some ways to make it automaticly. I find Pyrogram has this kind of interface and we can make use of it. The idea is like to at least to change 3 parts in the code:

configuration part and class init, need to use a parameter to enable this feature or not. if enable, need to provide api id and api hash, then initiate the client.
message send out part, need to add some mechanism to check if this chat has already link to a group, othewise will use the interface provided by pyrogram to create one and make the link, then update_info of that group.
database part, currently allow 1 group to link more than 1 slave group. maybe need to change 1 to 1. otherwise, I have not think of an idea how to do it.

There are some other issues may need to consider, but to realize it will make life happy. I am trying to read the code of this project, and maybe I will offer some help to submit on PR later. but what will others think of it?

Wipe description on Telegram when a linked chat does not have a description/member list

opened on 2022-06-09 03:07:16 by MatrixLau

Env

``` 您正在使用 EFB Telegram 主端 2.3.1，运行于默认配置档案与实例、EFB 版本 2.1.1。已激活 1 个从端： - 💬 WeChat Slave (blueset.wechat, 2.0.7)

已启用 7 个中间件： - Filter Middleware (filter.FilterMiddleware, 1.1.1) - Search Message Middleware (catbaron.search_msg, 0.1.0) - Patch Middleware (patch.PatchMiddleware, 2.0.19) - KeywordMention Middleware (keywordmention.MatrixLauMiddlware, 2.1.0) - Solitaire Middleware (solitaire.MatrixLauMiddleware, 1.3.0) - MP InstantView Middleware (catbaron.mp_instantview, 0.3.2) - Voice Recognition Middleware (catbaron.voice_recog, 1.0.3) ```

Problem

Only chat related to a group that /update_info will update the info of chat in Telegram

If so when I related a private to a chat that once related to a group, the chat info in Telegram will be STILL the member list of the group

Solution/Thoughts

Maybe if related to a private will erase the info of the chat in Telegram or set the info into the details of this private?
