Hi,
yes - my application with Telegram works fine.
It is simple to send messages to a single person or not more than one
person at a time. But if you want to offer a dialog, concurrent for several
persons, the things become complicated.
My solution:
I have two tables:
This table translates between Web2py user-ids and Telegram user-ids
("chat-id")
db.define_table("tg_user",
Field("user_id", "reference auth_user"),
Field("chat_id", "integer"),
)
The second one stores every incoming message and every outgoing message.
tg_data and extra are "pickled" dictionaries. extra contains a field
"step": step is like a state number in a state diagram. Using step and the
content of an answer the program decides which step should be the next.
db.define_table("tg_cache",
Field("chat_id", "integer"),
Field("now", "datetime", default=request.now),
Field("tg_data", "text"),
Field("extra", "text"),
)
Hope it helps.
It would be a nice project to write a web2py component how to use Telegram.
Maybe I will start it.
Regards, Martin
