Privacy Warning

This website is hosted on GitHub Pages. While this page is protected by a login gate, the source code of this page is public in the GitHub Repository. Do not store sensitive passwords or private keys directly in this file.

This page is for community administrators and moderators. It explains how to manage the dynamic parts of the TCL Firmware Hub, such as the announcement banner.

Managing the Announcement Banner

We use a GitHub Actions workflow to update the news banner without touching the code. This ensures even non-developers can push critical updates.

1. Triggering the Update

1. Go to the GitHub Actions Tab.

2. Click the "Run workflow" button on the right.

3. Fill in the fields:

   • Show Banner?: Uncheck to hide the banner.
   • Banner Text: The message to display. (e.g., "New V562 Firmware is out!")
   • Link URL: Optional. Link to the Telegram post or download.
   • Date Override: Use YYYY-MM-DD if you want to push a message with a specific timestamp.

2. How it works

• When you click "Run", the workflow updates docs/assets/news.json.

• The website fetches this file instantly for every visitor.

• Persistence: If a user clicks "Close" on the banner, they won't see it again until you change the Date. The modern banner.js uses localStorage to remember the dismissal status based on the date string.

---

Maintaining Chipsets

If a new TV model or chipset is released:

1. Open docs/chipsets.md in the GitHub editor.

2. Add the new entry to the Mapping Table.

3. Commit the changes. The site will rebuild automatically in ~2 minutes.

---

Safety & Community Reports

• Scam Alerts: If a new Telegram scam and targeting the group is reported, use the Banner (see above) to push a warning immediately.
• Broken Links: If the @FirmwareTCLbot is down or links are broken, update the banner to inform users while the dev team works on a fix.

Rose Bot Administration

The Rose Bot (@MissRose_bot) is our primary automation tool for moderation, filters, and welcome messages. This section explains how admins can interact with and configure the bot.

1. Connecting to the Bot

To manage group settings privately or via the web dashboard, you must first connect your account:

1. Start the Bot: Message @MissRose_bot and press /start.
2. Request Connection: In the TCL Discussion Group, type /connect.
3. Confirm: Rose will send you a PM with a button to confirm the connection. Once connected, you can send commands to her PM instead of the group, keeping the chat clean.

2. Management via Private Message (Recommended)

While you can use commands in the group, we recommend managing settings via Private Messages to keep the public chat clean:

1. Use the /connect command as described above.
2. Once connected, you can send any configuration command (like /filter or /setwelcome) directly to Rose's PM.
3. The bot will apply those settings to the TCL Discussion Group automatically.

3. Core Admin Commands

Here are the most common commands you'll need. You can find the full documentation at missrose.org.

Command	Purpose	Official Guide
/rules	View or edit the group rules.	Rules Guide
/setwelcome	Update the randomized welcome msg.	Notes/Welcome
/filter	Add a new keyword trigger.	Filters Guide
/config	Access the general bot configuration.	General Setup
/adminlist	See all authorized group admins.	—

Avoid Chat Spam

Whenever possible, use the Web Dashboard or Private Messages to Rose for configuration. Only use commands in the main group for testing or immediate moderation actions.

Rose Bot Filters

Use these commands to set up automatic responses for common questions. We use Rose's multi-trigger syntax to keep the group clean.

How to use: Copy and paste these blocks directly into the Telegram group.

1. Firmware & Update Assistance

Triggers when people ask about versions, changelogs, where to find software, or "can I update" questions.

/filter ("is my tv software outdated?", "where to look for firmware", "where to look for software", "where i can download", "software update for", "latest firmware", "latest version", "latest update", "what changes", "last update", "patch notes", "what is new", "change log", "what's new", changelog, "can i update", "any new update", "soft update", "new sw", "sw version", "firmware link", "google tv update", "android tv update")
Looking for the latest firmware or wondering if your TV is up to date? 🚀

Check our **Firmware Database** for all chipsets and current versions. Also, keep an eye on the **Updates Channel** for real-time notifications.
