List template?

[Oliver Schlöbe]

Hi,

first off, thanks for your highly useful SDK! Helped me get a bot up and running real quick. :)

Are there any plans to include the new list template anytime soon?

Thank you!
Oliver

Hello @AlphawolfWMP ! Good catch, I will include this feature soon. I'm a bit busy but If you want, feel free to add the implementation.

@AlphawolfWMP If you want to try #36 before I merge it.

@tgallice Nice, thank you! I'll be creating a test bot to test your changes and new list template. :)

Hi @tgallice, I'm probably doing it wrong, but I can't get a list template to be rendered. Actually I don't even get an error, just my bot not printing the list. 😃

Here's the code I use:

$elements = array();
foreach() {
	$element = new \Tgallice\FBMessenger\Model\Attachment\Template\ElementList\Element(
		$title,
		$subtitle,
		$imageUrl,
		new \Tgallice\FBMessenger\Model\Button\Share(),
		new DefaultAction('https://www.domain.com/')
	);
	$elements[] = $element;
}

$template = new \Tgallice\FBMessenger\Model\Attachment\Template\ElementList($elements);

$this->messenger->sendMessage($event->getSenderId(), $template);

As soon as I change

$template = new \Tgallice\FBMessenger\Model\Attachment\Template\ElementList($elements);

back to

$template = new \Tgallice\FBMessenger\Model\Attachment\Template\Generic($elements);

it renders the carousel template without errors, but not the list template.

Any idea? 😃

Hi @tgallice, my fault obviously. I hadn't noticed the list template does need between 2 and 4 elements, otherwise it will fail/throw an exception. Providing an elements array between 2 and 4 elements does work indeed as intended. Thank you!

Sorry for the confusion. 😧

Hi @AlphawolfWMP sorry for just answering you now... Yes as defined in the documentation a list template must contain between 2 or 4 elements :) Thank you to have taking time to try this feature !
