Issue description I wrote a callback function, it detacts in message whether exists bug xxxxxx, then do some search and return to channel or person. But it didn't work.

    def callback_message(self, mess):
        bug_list = re.findall('bug\s\d{6}', mess.body)
        if bug_list:
            URL = "https://bugs.gentoo.org/xmlrpc.cgi"
            bzapi = bugzilla.Bugzilla(URL)
            for i in bug_list:
                try:
                    bzapi.getbug(i.split(None)[1])
                except xmlrpc.client.Fault as err:
                    yield err
                else:
                    bug = bzapi.getbug(i.split(None)[1])
                    #self.send(mess.frm, "https://bugs.gentoo.org/" + str(i.split(None)[1]) + str(
                    #    bug.id) + bug.summary + bug.component + bug.status + bug.resolution)
                    #yield ("https://bugs.gentoo.org/" + str(i.split(None)[1]) + str(
                    #     bug.id) + bug.summary + bug.component + bug.status + bug.resolution)

The second question. I have a bridge bot in my irc channel, it bridge irc and telegram. When I send commands from telegram, the plugin doesn't work, because this bot add nickname before the command. So is there anyway to make it run?

FROM SERVER: :ervbot!~ervbot@user/ervbot PRIVMSG #PLCT-gentoo :[ArchFeh] !b update

2022-04-26 09:11:25,876 DEBUG    errbot.core               *** text = [ArchFeh] !b update

The third question. start_poller() didn't work. I wrote a function to update database sqlite. I want start_poller() runs every 60s, but it didn't do anythig. It returned Previous timer found and removed

Thanks ahead!

1. What didn't work? Do you have an error message?

2. Perhaps triggering commands without prefixes could meet your needs https://errbot.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user_guide/plugin_development/botcommands.html?highlight=prefix#without-a-bot-prefix or alternatively, run a second errbot instance connected to the IRC server to expose commands within that scope.

3. The log message Previous timer found and removed means the poller was scheduled correctly, what didn't work? Do you have an error message?

Thx for replying. For 1 and 3, there's no err message output. 1 just didn't send anything. In 3 there's a return or yield, and didn't send anything either. I will test without prefix tonight.

Thx, I figured out all my problems!

Would you mind sharing what caused the issues and how you resolved them? It may help others in the future or highlight deficiencies in the documentation.

Sure. For 1 and 2 problem, I use without a bot prefix instead of callback_message(). For 3 problem, I found that in method can't use return or yield, if wanna send some messages to channel or user, use self.send(self.build_identifier("#channel") or self.send(self.build_identifier("nickname"), I think in callback has the same issue, we need use self.send to send message instead of return or yield. I use return and yield in my command to automatically check user or channel, and send message, but It can't be used in any callback.
