Download Full Channel History #111

Closed tazeps closed 5 years ago

tazeps commented 5 years ago

Hi,

I didn't understand the part about downloading a full channel history. and I don't really know what's an "interactive channel" or if I need to.

all the instructions in the "readme" were clear except the last portion about this feature. Where do I enter "history" ? by "bot" what are you referring to ?

I understood that the basic idea is treating the DM as a channel and doing the same steps as downloading from a regular channel. except i don't understand how we can move the whole desired channel's history to the DM between the two accounts.

You need another account to pm your 'bot' account and then follow the prompt

And then the bot will download the files to the location specified in the config file

I did create another account. and sent a message to it from my main discord account and was able to identify it's "channel ID" but that's as far as i could understand the steps. the next step in the readme says to type "history" but i didn't understand where do i need to type that. you say "bot account" i'm not sure i understand what that means.

and is the PM supposed to say something particular or just a "hi" is enough ?

By bot account I mean the account in the config which is downloading all the files. Your other account will pm the bot account the message 'history' and then the bot will reply asking for the channel id's

aaah I see ok. I didn't realize this was actually a "bot". It wasn't mentioned anywhere in the introduction. (if it was I missed it)

but yeah I also had to figure out a few more things along the way but now I got it working :) Thanks man!

i'd close the issue but it seems i'm not authorised to. i guess it's just for project owner/co-
