template.html showing variables #111

If I follow your Usage instructions to build "mysite" what's the proper way to publish it? I copied config.yaml, rss_template.html, site/, static/, and template.html to Web Root but /template.html renders as shown below. Also tried putting the whole mysite dir in the Web Root but /mysite/template.html still looks the same. What I mess up? Thx

That's the raw template that's showing. After you generate mysite directory:

Edit config.yaml to add your settings
Run tgarchive --sync in the directory to sync data from Telegram to your local system.
Run tgarchive --build to generate the site. A new directory site is created with the HTML files that you can publish.

Awesome! Everything is rendering now except for the name of the group. In my config, group is set to the group ID, so -100... and that's what shows underneath the icon on the published site, instead of the name of the group:

@-100... / 
Public archive of 
Telegram messages.

@knadh How to get that to show the name of the group?

I guess I was mistaken in remembering the https://tg.fossunited.org/ example and it's more readable & memorable when group has an @name.

In this case, I guess have to add to config.yaml some new variables, e.g. group_name and group_link and go from there...
