Telegram Notifications Plugin (discourse-telegram-notifications)

volanar · June 26, 2022, 8:30pm

Hello. Is this feature currently working?

danielabc · August 20, 2022, 2:55am

it’s work or not???

Fabrice · August 20, 2022, 8:44am

The plugin does work, at least for me.

David, do we need to do something for anonymized users? Doesn’t it presently retain the subscription? I have a client whose anonymized users are still receiving telegram notifications. The bot advises you change your Prefs. I assume it’s referring to discourse Prefs?

Should the plugin monkeypatch the anonymizing process to clear the User Custom Field?

I wonder should Core in any case explicitly destroy all user custom fields or field contents as part of the anonymizing process? That’s a potential GDPR issue?

But looking at this more closely, there seems to already be some provision for it?:

github.com

discourse/discourse/blob/f05da14fb607c4b3906f0f83faea4b0f5694f043/app/jobs/regular/anonymize_user.rb#L61


      
                  details: "id: #{@user_id}\n%",
                ).update_all(ip_address: new_ip)
              end
          
          
    def anonymize_user_fields
                user_field_ids = UserField.pluck(:id)
                user = User.find(@user_id)
                return if user_field_ids.blank? || user.blank?
          
          
      user_field_ids.each do |field_id|
                  user.custom_fields.delete("#{User::USER_FIELD_PREFIX}#{field_id}")
                end
                user.save!
              end
            end
          end

We’ll do some data checking …

I get Internal Server Error when I copy this statement into a new data explorer query.

If I try the statement directly on the database, it works.

Strange. I tried some other of the standard queries available. Some work, but I also got the same error for other queries.

That’s for user fields, defined via the UI. I don’t think we should destroy all custom_fields in core - we have no way of knowing what data a plugin is storing in there.

The best thing is probably for us to add add DiscourseEvent.trigger(:anonymize_user in core so that plugins can hook into it. Likely pr-welcome (both for the core change, and this plugin change)

Also just noting - this plugin is not official, and I no longer make use of it. I built it years ago before joining the team, and it hasn’t really been touched since. (I’ll add that info to the op)

@Roi please open a support topic with details. This issue doesn’t sound related to the telegram plugin.

merefield · January 11, 2023, 12:20pm

Ah, yes, of course. Thanks for clarifying.

In general that would be a good change. I’ll propose

Does anybody struggle with an issue where you receive Telegram notifications only from some categories while you’ve subscribed to all of them?

I do not know what exactly happened, but since Dec 30 2022 plugin just stopped to send telegram notification from some categories on my board. While web-notifications is working just fine

Flashio · January 17, 2023, 6:07pm

Since “Chat” update there are some issues with Telegram Notifications. Users still receive @ notifications and notifications from some categories (chosed by plugin randomly, I could not find any logic in it), but from some categories it stopped working. I wonder why it is happening. Why users still receiving tg-notifications from some categories (for example for “new topic”) and from some they does not, while they subscribed to both. Browser notifications works just fine. And @ notifications also works in every category or sub-category.

Discourse: 3.0.0 stable and 3.0.1 stable

Both versions broke Telegram notifications and so reply to topic trough telegram as well. Regenerating API key is not helping. Replying is not working and the bot is not confirming that reply was sent as it was before.

Any solution for this problem? Or support of this plugin is ended?

Roi · February 20, 2023, 3:31pm

Doesn’t it make more sense to move the Telegram Notifications box from “Profile” to “Notifications”? I did not expect to find it under profile (in my case under the user signature), so I had to search for it.

merefield · February 20, 2023, 3:38pm

The User Custom Preferences outlet lives on the profile section. That is probably why.

(But fair point)

Roi · February 20, 2023, 3:40pm

Is that the place where custom prefences can be shown / hooked in? Then I understand. But as you also write: It really is a fair point as it is not logical and nobody will find without documentation.

danielabc · March 11, 2023, 8:59pm

is it working? i dont understand alright

danielabc · April 17, 2023, 4:37am

Did you find any solution?

Flashio · April 26, 2023, 9:36am

No, I do not. I’m not a developer.

Hello, can you send photos via Telegram with this plugin?

merefield · December 9, 2023, 7:40am

No. This is its purpose:

This can work in a group multi-channel?
In our case we want that just publish it in a specific subgroup.
