Oh , nice . 

You modified SendPhoto or SendMessageGetID ?

SendPhoto, but there is multiple SendPhoto function in the file, maybe I picked the wrong one?

No it was okay . 

You trully are amazing!

I learned many thing thanks to you, can I buy you a coffee? Its not much but its the least I can do given how much you gave me this past few days.

Please send me your paypal in private Lorentzos :)

No problem , i try to code everyday to stay "code fit". We might have that coffee someday ,thats all . :) 

  
bot.SendPhotoGetID(true,last_message_id,get_photo_id_string,private_channel_post_id,name_for_screenshot,caption,false,1000,last_message_id);

There was nothing bounded to the first boolean above, so I changed it to true and added this code to SendPhotoGetID in TelegramLmqh  to reply with photos :

string params=""; 
      if(!replying_to_message) params=StringFormat("chat_id=%lld&text=%s",_chat_id,UrlEncode(_caption));
      if(replying_to_message)
        {
        params=StringFormat("chat_id=%lld&&reply_to_message_id=%lld&text=%s",_chat_id,message_id_replying_to,UrlEncode(_caption));
        //params+="&reply_to_message_id="+IntegerToString(message_id_replying_to);
        }

There is no error when I send messages to telegram but this doesnt work.

I'm guessing it has something to do with:

int res=WebRequest("POST",url,headers,_timeout,data,result,result_headers);

as the params variable isn't defined in it.

I tried to add it but WebRequest seems to have a defined parameters count. So I went with PostRequest like with SendMessageGetID but still no luck there...

 
Lorentzos Roussos:

Alright ahah.

  
string out;      
int res=WebRequest(out,url,headers,_timeout,data,result,result_headers);
            PrintFormat("out : "+out);

out is initialised but not defined, is it a variable that will receive its value by telegram in this case?

in any case, no error when I print it.


We can reply to a photo with a photo without problem in telegram so why not?


edit:

      string out;
      int res=PostRequest(out,url,params,WEB_TIMEOUT);
      PrintFormat("out : "+out)

here I have a bad request ("no photo in the request")

 

It returns "Bad request" if you print the "out" variable in the function ? 

I dont think you can reply to a photo with a photo - but i'll mod it ,see what i mean with code fit ? i forgot to place that functionality :D -

---- edits : 

  1. First go to the SendMessageGetID and follow the params -where they are sent , we see a PostRequest function.Go in there ...
  2. In the PostRequest function ,can see the params are sent in the data as a char array ,so now go to SendPhotoGetID and look for where these char arrays are ...
  3. There is a uchar array data[] thats where the photo data is sent so we utilize this , now we need to find if we plug our "replying_id" above or below the data (probably above)...
  4. We see a chat id is sent in the top section of the data ,so we plug the replying id there and add a line as well ...

Hmm ,doesnt look very reply-ish : (maybe cause im sending the same photo)

This is because this isn't a reply, and yes I thought exactly the same thing about the photo, but I tried with a different one and it doesnt change anything.


edit:

Alright I found what was the error

    if(replying_to_message)
      {
      ArrayAdd(data,"Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"reply_to_message_id=\"\r\n");
      ArrayAdd(data,"\r\n");
      ArrayAdd(data,IntegerToString(message_id_replying_to));
      ArrayAdd(data,"\r\n");      
      }

I removed the "=" -> 

 form-data; name=\"reply_to_message_id=
    if(replying_to_message)
      {
      ArrayAdd(data,"--"+hash+"\r\n");
      ArrayAdd(data,"Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"reply_to_message_id\"\r\n");
      ArrayAdd(data,"\r\n");
      ArrayAdd(data,IntegerToString(message_id_replying_to));
      ArrayAdd(data,"\r\n");      
      }
