Edit functions for text and image messages

[NikolayUvarov]

Hello! There is possibility to edit already sent messages both text and image, but I cannot found details in documentation, please help.

You must create a EditMessageTextConfig and pass it to the bot.Send(..) method:

	msg := tgbotapi.NewEditMessageText(chatId, messageID, "new edited text")
	msg.Image = .....
	if _, err = bot.Send(msg); err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

bot.Send(...) is able to determine the type of action you're doing (send, edit, etc.) and act accordingly.

Unfortunately, there is no such metod "Image" in msg

photoBytesF, err := ioutil.ReadFile("../../pics/picF0M100.jpg") _=err msgM, err := bot.Send(tgbotapi.NewPhoto(update.Message.Chat.ID, photoFileBytesM)) //sent ok time.Sleep(3 * time.Second) msgME := tgbotapi.NewEditMessageText(update.Message.Chat.ID, msgM.MessageID, "msgME") msgME.Image = photoFileBytesM

msgME.Image undefined (type tgbotapi.EditMessageTextConfig has no field or method Image) (exit status 2)

Thanks!

Actually, as already said, my first solution doesn't allow changing the Image.

It seems that to change the image you must send an editMessageMedia command https://core.telegram.org/bots/api#editmessagemedia. This command seems to be composed through the EditMessageMediaConfig structure, here a totally UNTESTED code:

	msg := tgbotapi.EditMessageMediaConfig{
		BaseEdit: tgbotapi.BaseEdit{
			ChatID: 1,
			MessageID: 3,
		},
		Media: image,
	}
	if _, err = bot.Send(msg); err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
