Updating

To update the bot you need to backup ./database folder and ./config.json only, then repeat installation process and paste there the old database and config.json, you may need to add some config.json parameters manually

Our TODO List:

-short term:

allow to edit single user perms
commands help panel

-medium term:

allow on /perms to change user perms and roles, +add it in a button for /info or when a role is set (/free /mod etc..), +ask double confirm to give an user the "settings" and "roles" permission
support for anonymous admins
allow to customize /staff allowing to set roles to hide
create a privacy setting where users can ask to esclude themself from tagResolver and replace his's first name in database with "Anonymous"
allow to disable tagResolver log on group settings
allow to mute only media, or specific media type or extras
create a privacy option to allow a user deleting his data from the bot
custom roles
optimize database.get, .update and .save to store in temporal array most used users
implement time zone setting +implement it in /info

-long term:

add log channel
chatIds anonymization on database
compress chats data stored on database
support all group help functions and more (+anti-sheduled messages[msg.is_from_offline], )
allow bot clone bot when user give a token
add optionally an userbot (when active implement in tagResolver.js)

-other things:

implement direct private settings with /*settings
add a /commands command to help user to know bot commands, admin commands, and custom-group commands if avaiable
a check system to drop wrong formatted cb.data and waitingReply
allow to see perms calculation trough user perms, then roles by priority, then base group perms, going from left to right (or opposite)
add something to allow a group admin to identify all users with additional bot perms
?add an automatic leveling system for admins? (maybe?)
add photo preview-mode in MessageMaker.js
allow to warn only usersIds who exhist on telegram, it can be checked if applyng a restriction returns true
add config to allow/disallow adding bot from non-admin users
?identify reply_parameters and add everytime allow_sending_without_reply? (GHBot.js)
/geturl, by replying to a message (via reply) and writing this command, you receive the link that refers directly to that message.
/inactives [days] sends in private chat the list of users who have not sent a message in the last [days], with the possibility of punish them.
/pin [message] - sends the message through the Bot and pins it.
/editpin [message] - edits the current pinned message (if sent from the Bot).
/delpin - removes the pinned message.
/repin - removes and pins again the current pinned message, with notification!
/pinned - refers to the current pinned message.
/list - sends in private chat the list of users of the group with the number of messages sent by them.
/list roles - sends in private chat the list of all the special roles assigned to users
/graphic - sends a graph showing the trend of the group members.
/trend - sends the group's growth statistics.
/logdel - deletes the selected message and sends it to the Log Channel
/send - permits to send a post through the Bot with parse mode support

Known possible bugs:

-sometimes db.chats.update in plugins may be not used at all because you can still edit the global object cause to reference, not using it may cause some issue. +if global reference get cleared too early code may try to access and inexistent variable

-cleanHTML() may be not applyed in some text where it should, and nothing assure that it's 100% able to clean everything needed for telegram api

-if you add a new permission on userPerms object, every userPerms object should be updated adding that, otherwise this may cause incorrect result in sumUserPerms

-in some unkown cases you may get stuck in exceptions menu and SafeGram.js will block any user request due too high accumulated volume of something pending

-permissions setup on first bot adding to groups is not the same as using /reload that's more complete
