Hello August,

A question from my side: Despite having configured my userprofile at fido2telebot, whenever I reply from Telegram it posts only with my firstname, never with my lastname.

Is it expected?

Maybe.

How it works.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For messages in Fido, the name is taken from the first_from_name and last_from_name fields of the message from Telegram. The user profile is used to form the kludge "@RealName: FLAVIO BESSA 4:801/188".
For those echoes in which the rules allow only sysops of nodes to write, the realname and fidoaddress from the profile in the nodelist are checked. They must match exactly (case sensitive). In this case, the Realname from the userprofile is also substituted in the From field in Fido. If such a match does not occur, then the message does not get into Fido without an error message into Telegram.

By the way, there was an idea to delete such messages from the chat in Telegram.

Have nice nights.
Stas Mishchenkov.

Perhaps Stas answered your question by now?

But I *do* see that your post from Telegram contains:


U-TGUID: 103991006
U-RealName: FLAVIO BESSA 4:801/188

..which tells me that your last name SHOULD have been
detected and used, but it was not. :( Dunno.

Are you suggesting to always use realname in the from field? By the way, this will help to avoid incorrect characters in names.

Have nice nights.

Actually, that's how I thought %RealName was being used. ;)

I thought that was the way members could retain their Telegram
username distinct from their Fidonet name.

Now it's a little different. However, I think it would be wise to use it that way.

I'm thinking of substituting names containing invalid characters.
