There is a public or private group. https://github.com/group-butler/GroupButler/blob/637a77d41f540160a9df174fc17f3d38aefa7d6f/lua/groupbutler/main.lua#L153

That is going to stay there until the API is updated to abstract the differences between normal groups and supergroups. Underneath, Telegram still handles them separately. With Telegram 5.2 the conversion just happens automatically on some events, but the reasons why GroupButler doesn't work in normal groups are still valid

Edit: I got your point. Maybe that string is a bit confusing now, yes

I thought I removed these 🤔

And yeah, telegram really needs to update their bot api so we can handle these cases better.

This Issue is preventing me to add the Bot to any new group. Is there a workarround?

but the reasons why GroupButler doesn't work in normal groups are still valid

I thought the were no more "normal groups" and "super groups"

yangm97 commented 5 years ago

@lasmaty07 Toggling Group Type (private/public) or Chat history visibility should be enough to trigger the conversion it seems.

I have been able to add Group Butler finally!

As said in this thread, now all the groups are "Supergroups", but @GroupButler_bot says the following in a normal group;

> Hello everyone! My name is Group Butler, and I'm a bot made to help administrators in their hard work. Unfortunately I can't work in normal groups. If you need me, please ask the creator to convert this group to a supergroup and then add me again.

But, to solve this you must to convert your group from Private to Public. After this, the bot will work!

> Hello everyone! My name is Group Butler, and I'm a bot made to help administrators in their hard work.

Now, you can convert your group to Private again, the bot will continue working after that. :D

This is misinformation.

Supergroups (called "megagroups" in the API) still exist. They are just converted more seamlessly, like when you make the group public (and then send a message), as you said.
