I'm currently looking into ways to integrate the Telegram API into the forums:
Telegram Bots - Bot Code Examples
I'm thinking, first off, to use the Telegram API to get forum alerts and notifications (to Bot or Not?).
Second, I thinking of ways to more deeply integrate Telegram into the forums and other projects I'm working on.
Hmmmm.
Darn!
PHP Telegram Bot based on the official Telegram Bot API
Only works with PHP 5.5 or greater, but we are at 5.3. I tried a number of hacks but could not get that code to work on PHP 5.3 even with my hacks and mods.
After reviewing all the recommended PHP libs for Telegram, all require PHP 5.5+ and we are still at 5.3, so maybe I should put this off until we port the site to PHP 7.
Ugghhhhh
Update:
If anyone is interested in Telegram and Telegram bots, if you can find Telegram PHP code libs which works on PHP 5.3+ that would be very helpful.
If we can get this working, I would like to create notifications, alerts, man pages, and search in Telegram for the forums.
Thanks.
In the meantime, this is helpful:
You can keep updated with the Unix and Linux forums with this Telegram feed bot.
Just install Telegram on your mobile phone or desktop, install TheFeedReaderBot and then add one or more forum RSS feeds.
Cool info! I'm now working with my projects and I create Bot's for Telegram with the help of this examples. Thanks!
