Message Logger: keep own deletions, remove from view, reset marks
- Delete dialog: "Keep message for myself" checkbox keeps your deletion on
  this device (marked deleted); unticked, the message is hidden and never
  restored. Already deleted messages get a plain "Remove from view" dialog
  (fixes the chat staying dimmed/touch-blocked after it).
- "Reset deleted/edited marks" in the chat menu (Plugins) and, for all
  chats, in the plugin settings.
- Fix restored text-only messages showing as empty bubbles (rich text
  wrappers like links lost their text); missing settings icons.

Message Logger

TL;DR: an exteraGram plugin that keeps deleted messages in your chats and shows the edit history of edited ones, using what your telegram-panel message logger saved.

Description

Message Logger connects exteraGram to a telegram-panel message logger and shows its data natively in chats. Messages other people delete stay visible, edited messages get a full edit history, and comments of deleted channel posts can still be opened. Marks are cached on the device, so a chat opened again, even offline, shows them at once.

Features

  • Deleted messages stay. Messages others delete remain in the chat at 75% opacity with a red trash icon (from the active icon pack) in the time row. Messages deleted while the app was closed are confirmed with Telegram and restored from the logger copy.
  • Keep your own deletions. The delete dialog gets a Keep message for myself checkbox: ticked, the deletion goes to Telegram but the message stays on this device, marked deleted. Unticked (the default), it is deleted as usual and never restored from the logger here. Deleting a message that is already deleted shows a plain dialog that removes it from view on this device only.
  • Edit history. Edit history in the message menu (right above Forward, for edited messages) opens every version as a mock chat, also for the logger groups' own posts, with an Open topic button for the history topic in the activity group.
  • Comments of deleted channel posts. The comments button of a deleted post opens the app's own comments section for it (avatars, names, replies, media), filled from the logged comments.
  • Links into chats you're not in. Message links into a chat the current account isn't in (e.g. a log post's "Message" link) open that chat as a signed-in account that is in it; going back returns to your account.
  • Reset marks. Reset deleted/edited marks in the chat's menu (Plugins) forgets that chat's cached marks and checks it with the server again; the same row in the plugin settings does it for every chat. Messages you removed from view stay hidden.
  • Cache lifetime. Cached answers are kept for 1, 7, 30, 90 or 365 days, or forever (30 by default).

The account reading the logged copies must be a member of the logger and activity groups.

Setup

  1. In the panel, create a token per master, the account owning the logger groups (Settings → API Tokens). Any Telegram account can use a token.
  2. In the plugin settings, enter the panel URL and the tokens (separated by spaces).
  3. Tap Test connection.
