[rizaumami]

Add new bindings for lua scripting:

• block_user
• unblock_user
• channel_join
• channel_leave
• channel_list
• channel_set_about
• channel_set_admin
• channel_set_photo
• channel_set_username
• export_channel_link
• get_message
• import_channel_link
• media_caption
• rename_channel
• resolve_username

Code examples of:

• block_user and unblock_user to block and unbloking a user.

do

  local function run(msg, matches)
    if matches[2]:match('^%d.+$') then
      if matches[1] == 'block' then
        block_user('user#id'..matches[2], ok_cb, true)
        return 'User '..matches[2]..' blocked'
      elseif matches[1] == 'unblock' then
        unblock_user('user#id'..matches[2], ok_cb, true)
        return 'User '..matches[2]..' unblocked'
      end
    end
  end

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  return {
    description = 'Block a user.',
    usage = {
      ' !block [user_id] : Block user by their ID.'
    },
    patterns = {
      '^!(block) (%d.+)$',
      '^!(unblock) (%d.+)$'
    },
    run = run
  }

end

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  return {
    description = 'Set channel/supergroup title.',
    usage = {

    run = run
  }

end

  This username will also become channels/supergroups URL.

do

  local function run(msg, matches)

resolve_username don't work for me
i use patch and exampple but fail

[rizaumami]

@zhityer
The patch is working.
Are you sure the error is in the patch?

[zhityer]

not sure
but example resolve_username don't work for me with your github ( supergroups branch )
and
Example of get_message to get user id by reply, don't work very good
some time not answer,

I exactly examples put into plugins of supergroups branch but resolve_username not working and get_message some time work

[rizaumami]

Cannot help you.
I've just tested this by re-cloned the repo. It's working.
Better you debug your script ...

[richpeterson]

Set_message definitely does not work well, I tried it on two supergroups, one returned the "id" corresponding, while another group returned the id of any user under which corresponded.

[rizaumami]

@richpeterson
Because you didn't disable the original id.lua.
My example script use the same command; !id which trigger response from both script.

[richpeterson]

No, I modified the function to work with " !idtest " and continues with the same problem , it does not work as it should.
