[TELEGRAM] Yet Another BitcoinTalk Notification BOT (merits, mentions, topics,+)

[TryNinja]

I think there's a problem here. When I try to track usernames with capital letters (for excample Hhampuz and TryNinja), the bot automatically changes the capital letters I input into lowercase (output from bot hhampuz and tryninja). Maybe that's the main reason why I'm not getting notifications for some topics and posts created by users I've added to 'Tracked User'.

The bot checker is case insensitive, so this is irrelevant here.

Link some examples if something was missed.

Maybe I missed these and apologize if so..when setting the bot up, do I need to type my name
As “@chibitcty” or would “chibitcty” be okay? When people mention me and I get an alert, do they have to use the “@“ sign in front of my name in order for the bot to flag it?

Thx Ninja for creating this !

No.

@Tryninja, could you please check why I can see this difference between Bitcointalk information and the information in Telegram via your bot:



The merit count seems to be mismatched by 1 unit! Can you check if this is supposed to happen or if this is indeed some bug?

I'm no expert at this bot since I am not the one who created it and I am sure that TryNinja can answer your questions about the BOT but if that's your problem then you can just set it to the correct count by sending a command to the bot to change the merit count. If you don't know how to do it then you simply type this in the bot and send it. /setmerit (number of merits you have) e.g, /setmerit 656 which is the current merit count I have right now. I experienced the same thing as you before but when I use it, the BOT now shows the correct amount.

I know you are busy but I was wondering if it's possible to add it on the BOT to see the command list like the /menu on the bot that shows the menu. That way, we can also see the the commands and I think this will be helpful to those who doesn't know how to set something right just like the /setmerit although it is already on the thread. I think some people didn't really bother checking up the commands. Maybe something like /commands much like the /menu. I'm sure you know what I mean.

Ok, done. Thanks

Thanks again! Great work on this bot. Hope you continue to support it and even add features over time. If you want, I can have another job for you in this forum. And if you allow me I could take your work here for my suggestion and take it to another forum I use to use quite frequently.

The idea is to develop some type of pluing / browser addon to enable syntax highlight of code. Tere are a few foruns, this one included of course, that could use such thing.
The other forum I would like to see a plugin like this is the Debian forum at https://forums.debian.net/ and EEV Blog forum at https://www.eevblog.com/forum/.

If there was a way of creating something that could be used in these foruns, it would be f**** awsome! :p

Ive met the same issue before and just ignored thought they would make an update, but mine has 3 merits discrepancy, I would like to verify that this code

Try:

Code:

/setmerit 626

given by TryNinja works well on my side.

Yeah, exactly. I think it was the first time I used commands with this bot. lol. I never noticed the merit was wrong so I never explored the commands that could be ran with the bot. And I thought somehow the bot was able to read the data from the users from the database, so information should match.

I guess the bot doesn't match it's calculation against forum database, so when its count get tangled a little bit, the two numbers can differ.
I think checking the merit balance would add a too elevated number of enquiries to the forum, and I think this is the reason TryNinja didn't implement it.
Anyway the /setmerit command works as a charm, and I find myself using it every few months when I realise my merit count is off by a little.
Probably this is a good compromise between accuracy and resource usage for both the bot and forum infrastructures.

[TryNinja]

A quick question.

Some people might get annoyed when they are notified every time someone writes their name. Maybe you only want to get a notification when someone quotes your post or when you're tagged with an @.

- "Notify me every time someone mentions my name"
- "Notify me only when someone tags me (@TryNinja) or quotes my post"

Besides @darkv0rt3x, would anyone else like this option?

[joker_josue]

Personally, it wouldn't be a function I use - notifications don't bother me.

Either way, if the development is not too complicated, it could be an interesting new feature. 

[tread93]

Wow, this is incredible, I can't believe I never saw this before. I can't wait to try the bot on telegram. For a noob with this bot can anyone kindly tell me some of the coolest things you can do with it? It looks like people have asked for improvements/ given ideas, have many of them been implemented and also is this still being upgraded today?

[Upgrade00]

Besides @darkv0rt3x, would anyone else like this option?

I wouldn't want the option.

Not everyone knows how to use the @ when writing to a particular user, they just type out the name in full, sometimes incorrectly spelt even. Not worth it having a notification bot and still missing where you were mentioned in discussions which you may have wanted to see.

If it's not too much of a hassle you can make two options, one to only get notified of quotes and another to be notified of all mentions.

If you experience some problem like wrong merit count then you can use the command /setmerit (correct merit count) then your good to go. I am quite surprised you haven't checked the bot when it's basically in display in meta board as this thread have many replies so it will stay on the first page of the board. Well, that's what I can share to you and it's up to you to check other features of the bot by checking the menu in the bot.

Who noticed the New features added to the Bitcointalk telegram SuperNotifier? _{or am I just seeing it?}

Some days ago, I create a new topic and I was asked if I would want to track the topic and I didn't pay attention to it because I haven't seen it the first time.
But today I created another new topic and I was asked the same question and this time I clicked yes and I was happy to see that I can track my topic immediately I post any new topics.
However, one can also track his/her own topics and other topics even before now but my happiness is this new feature is stress free as you don't have to type in the title of the topic before you can add your own topics on the notifier.
Thanks to TryNinja for creating the SUPERNOTIFIER

[TryNinja]

Who noticed the New features added to the Bitcointalk telegram SuperNotifier? _{or am I just seeing it?}

Yep, released it a few months ago:

New Feature

Auto-Track Own Topics - if enabled, every new topic you make will be added to your tracked topics list (after confirmation).



I saw myself having to manually add most of my new topics to my list, so this makes life easier for me. Hopefully it's useful to other people.


How to enable it:

You can enable this feature on the "Notifications" menu (if needed, run /menu to get the main menu).

[DYING_S0UL]

Hey TryNinja  

Not an issue, your bot works like magic.

But when I was trying to track a topic, the topic name was shown as "test" when the current topic name is something else. Maybe the original topic name indeed was "test" and later was edited. Thus the difference. I dunno, maybe that's the case. Anyway I'm letting you know. It's your bot, you would know better how it worked. Correct me if I'm wrong anywhere. Thanks.

So, I was tracking Royse777's posts and recently I noticed that I didn't get any notifications from his posts. It looks like this happened because he also recently changed his username. Just a suggestion: I think it would be better to use UID instead of the username if this is the case. I think this a valid point. This could help ensure that notifications  delivered to users who are following specific accounts regardless of any changes in usernames.
