Using Laravel, my Telegram bot’s interactive keyboard fails to display properly. Below is a revised code snippet:
$buttonRecords = DB::table('user_reports')
->select('report_code')
->join('telegram_data.reports', 'user_reports.report_code', '=', 'reports_table.report_id')
->where('subscriber_id', $subscriberId)
->where('status', 1)
->get();
$keyboardLayout = [];
foreach ($buttonRecords as $record) {
$keyboardLayout[] = [$record->report_code];
}
$markup = TelegramService::createKeyboard([
'keyboard' => $keyboardLayout,
'resize_keyboard' => true,
'one_time_keyboard' => false,
]);
What might be causing this discrepancy?
The code snippet itself appears to be structured correctly, but one possible issue I experienced was related to the way the Telegram API expects the keyboard layout. In a previous project, I ran into problems because even a slight deviation from the expected reply markup format caused the keyboard not to display. I eventually solved it by ensuring that the data passed into the keyboard creation function exactly matched the current documentation specifications. Checking that the API endpoint is up to date with your Laravel package version might also be worth attempting.
The situation might be linked with the structure of the database column names versus what your Telegram service expects. In one of my projects, I discovered that using a different naming convention between the code and the actual database field led to an incorrect keyboard assembly. Furthermore, ensuring the response adheres to the exact reply markup specifications of Telegram is crucial. Reviewing the database schema to confirm field names, and comparing the response structure with the current Telegram documentation, might provide clarity and help resolve the issue.
hey, i had a similar hiccup. sometimes its about alias issues in the join, causing mismatch errors in the keyboard object. try setting explicit names in the query so it aligns perfectly with telegram docs. maybe that will fix it.
In my experience, the problem often lies in minor details that are easy to overlook. I encountered a similar issue where the interactive keyboard did not appear because of subtle formatting discrepancies between the generated data and the Telegram API’s expected structure. I eventually pinpointed the problem by thoroughly comparing the actual output with the documented reply markup format. Debugging with tools that inspect the JSON payload can reveal mismatches in data type or structure, which are otherwise hard to spot in the code. It helped me align the format precisely to what the API required.
