Encountering an error with forward_message while relaying channel posts. Incorrect parameters might be the issue. Revised example:
import botlib
bot_instance = botlib.Bot('secure_token')
def relay(source_chat, message_id, dest_chat):
bot_instance.forward(dest_chat, source_chat, message_id)
relay(2112989841, 165, 54321)
bot_instance.polling()
I experienced similar challenges when working to relay messages between channels. In my case, verifying that the bot has proper permissions was crucial. I noticed that if the bot lacks admin rights or if the channel privacy settings are not configured correctly, forwarding will fail regardless of using the correct parameters. I resolved the issue by rechecking the token settings and ensuring that the chat identifiers are passed correctly in the function call. Additionally, reviewing the latest library documentation helped me pinpoint discrepancies in parameter order that ultimately hindered message relay.
hey, i faced similar issues. i solved mine by using the channel username instead of the numeric id and checking that the bot had the proper channel admin rights. sometimes the libary update changes parameter order, so double-check your docs. good luck!
After working through a similar issue, I discovered that the order in which you pass the parameters is more critical than it seems. Experimenting with the code showed that even minor mismatches could disrupt the forwarding process. It was also important to ensure that the settings of both source and destination channels were fully compatible with channel mode, which could be overlooked when using numeric identifiers. In my case, switching to using channel usernames helped to mitigate this issue and confirmed that the token and permissions were correctly set up in the bot configuration.
In my experience, resolving issues with relaying messages involved a careful review of both the bot’s privileges and the method implementation. I discovered that even a small oversight in the setup of webhooks or polling could interrupt the forwarding process. I resolved a similar problem by enabling detailed logging to capture any specific errors from the Telegram API, which helped isolate the issue. It was also crucial to verify that channel identifiers and permissions were both in line with the current library version and Telegram’s latest documentation.
hey, i found that numeric ids can cause trouble. switching to string usernames and adding basic error logging solved it for me. double-check bot perms and id formats too, that sometimes makes a diff!
