If I attach an image to the message starting with '/event', the bot doesn't create an event-style post.

Instead the message is shown verbatim, with the '/event' string rendered like a link, blue and underlined. It appears as if the event command is just ignored in that case.

Since a few days the bot doesn't respond to the /event command any more.

Show names on attendant list linked to their profile.

For hosting dance lessons and parties, you want an even mix of leaders and followers. If there was a way to let users specify which role they were signing up for, that would be sick

Some users have usernames that don't say their name. When such a user is in the participants-list, it's hard to know who it is.

Possible Solution
Show participants' names as links to the user rather than text. This way telegram automatically shows the name in case one has that user in the phone's address list.

Please add a command to repost the same event with attendees.

Sometimes events have a maximum number of participants. It would be good to be able to see when this number is reached.

Solution 1

Enumerate the participants:

Zusagen:
1. Peter
2. Anna
3. Max

Solution 2

Specify the maximum number of participants and show a waiting list:

Zusagen:
Peter
Anna

Warteliste:
Max

One possibility to implement this is to specify the maximum number of events in the same message that creates the event: /event Hallo, blablabla /maximum 2.

When someone under "Zusagen" cancels, then someone from the waiting list can move up to the first list.

Solution 3

Show the current total number of participants (also if it exceeds the maximum number).

Zusagen (3):
Peter
Anna
Max

People with the same name can’t attend the event.

Sometimes people come with their friends or family, who might not be part of the group. Therefor it would be helpful if we would have a +1 button either as a toggle or counter (and maybe a -1 button then as well?).

In attendant list it could be displayed like follows:

Zusagen (6):
Josh
Lisa +1
Mike
Jane +2

Alternatively we could make the "Zusagen" and "doch nicht" buttons behave counting up and down (e.g. the first click on "Zusagen" shows only the name and on second click it add a +1 behind the name).
