5 years ago For example, in the original bot, /help was:
dispatcher.add_handler(ext.CommandHandler('help', slash_help.help))
dispatcher.add_handler(ext.MessageHandler(ext.Filters.private, slash_help.short))
...
def help(self, bot, update):
update.ctx.reply_template(
'commands.html', {
'commands': self.get_commands(update),
'inlines': self.get_inlines(),
})
def short(self, bot, update):
update.ctx.reply_template(
'commands.html', {
'commands': self.get_commands(update),
'inlines': self.get_inlines(),
'short': True,
})with commands.html being:
{% if short or ctx.group %}
{{'/help'|botcmdlink('Details')}}
{% for command, desc in commands|sort if desc %}
• /{{command}}
{% endfor %}
{% for keyword, desc in inlines|sort if desc %}
• <code>@{{bot.username}} {{keyword}}</code>
{% endfor %}
{% else %}
I look for messages that start with a slash and the name of a command from this list:<br>
{% for command, desc in commands|sort if desc %}
<br>
/{{command}} - {{desc}}<br>
{% endfor %}
<br>
I also look for messages that start with <code>@{{bot.username}}</code> in any chat (even private
chats with other people and group chats I'm not in):<br>
{% for keyword, desc in inlines|sort if desc %}
<br>
<code>@{{bot.username}} {{keyword}}</code> - {{desc}}<br>
{% endfor %}
{% endif %}
The public instance is up to 4 groups using daily announcements (#25), including one that announces the ends of giveaways, so the "event"-focussed wording is awkward, and one whose admin just wants to be able to tweak the formatting for aesthetic reasons.
In the original bot, I had experimented with using Jinja2 to build the responses to /-commands (which has conceptually been replaced with MessageBuilder). It might be nice to revisit this, actually allowing bot admins to construct responses using Jinja2 (or some other lightweight (but has at least conditionals and loops) template language).
