Take image from user in bot and forward it back

Hello,
here is the code.

The best way to integrate and add functions is to create another plugin. For example, create a file called telegram-bot-custom.php and upload it to wp-content/plugins, then activate it. Write the file as follows:

<?php
/*
Plugin Name: Telegram Bot & Channel (Custom)
Description: My Custom Telegram Plugin
Author: My name
Version: 1
*/

function telegram_parse_photo_s ( $telegram_user_id, $photo  ) {

  $plugin_post_id = telegram_getid( $telegram_user_id );

  $url = telegram_download_file( $telegram_user_id, $photo[2]['file_id'] );

  if ( $url ) {
      telegram_sendphoto( $telegram_user_id, $caption, $url);
      telegram_sendmessage( $telegram_user_id, 'Was this your photo?');
  }
} add_action('telegram_parse_photo','telegram_parse_photo_s', 10, 2);

?>

I wasn’t able to send $caption, but will check asap. For now, leave it empty (you can still send a simple message after the photo).

The $photo variable defines different sizes. [2] is a good mix between weight and resolutions. You can check for the size of array and get an higher one if you want more resolution.

Thanks a lot
And there is another question.
Is it possible to make a ‘step by step bot’ with the extension? something like step by step forms that user should answer some questions respectively.

Yes, you just have to save a “telegram state field” with
get_post_meta( $plugin_post_id, 'telegram_custom_state' );
(You can use a different field name, create another db table, or something else you need…)

You can find my code for a “civic” bot here:

(The example parses locations, messages and photos)
