Disable botan reporting per message basis.

[chuv1]

Is there any way to disable reporting in GenericmessageCommand, for example? I'd like to track by botan just some messages (ex. starting with defined words) and not all of them.

And one more question. Is there any way to send a defined "event" to botan, instead of message? For example I'd like to track all meaningless (for a bot) messages from public chat as 'empty_message'.

I believe placing Botan::$command = 'somethingstupidthatisntgenericcommand'; before returning in Genericcommand should do the trick. If you call other commands within Genericcommand you should change that variable to empty instead so the executed command can be tracked (if you want).

Currently there is not, you could only call Botan::track() by yourself inside a command and provide a fake/modified update to it and custom command name as a second argument.

Since I'm talking about GenericmessageCommand.php (to disable chit-chat messages tracking) I'm considering to add 'disableBotan' method.

What if I'll add that code to to Telegram.php and call it when needed? Will it disable botan tracking if placed prior to Request::anyMethod?

    /**
     * Disable Botan.io integration
     *
     * @param  $token
     *
     * @return \Longman\TelegramBot\Telegram
     * @throws \Longman\TelegramBot\Exception\TelegramException
     */
    public function disableBotan()
    {
        $this->botan_enabled = false;

        return $this;
    }

Yes, it will. Still, I specifically made Botan::$command public so the developers can filter what gets tracked, I still think it's a fine solution.

Sorry, probably I got you wrong. So you mean

placing Botan::$command = 'somethingstupidthatisntgenericcommand'; before returning

will not send any data to botan, except that string? No message text, entities, or any other message associated data?

[jacklul]

It won't send anything when Botan::$command does not match a command executed with Telegram::executeCommand().

Thanks a lot! Definitely got you wrong, after your first reply. I thought that it will replace command name,but still send data.
