it's really hard when people won't just share but try that

I never said I wouldn't share I just don't see how any of the code would cause issues removing the iframe seems to fix the issue but that's probably one because the iframe makes the page as long as it is in the first place and the code you gave did stop it from repeating but it makes the image bloody huge in the background. I'll try with a smaller resolution in a second to see if that helps.

how do i get a pytho bot to react in โ and โ
earnest phoenix
someone can help me when I try to block a command with the upvotes of discordbots.org which includes an api gives me a 'pipe' error
const DBL = require ("dblapi.js");
const dbl = new DBL ("nope");
const Discord = require ('discord.js');
const snekfetch = require ('snekfetch');
exports.run = async (bot, message, args) => {
dbl.getVotes (true, 3) .then (voters => {
let k = voters.includes (message.author.id)
if (! k) return message.channel.send ('** You must upvote this bot for unlock this command **! \ nUpvote Here: https://discordbots.org/bot/418702711043915776/vote')
message.mentions.users.first ()! == undefined? person = message.mentions.users.first (): person = message.author
const avatar = person.avatarURL
const pls = snekfetch.get (`http://api.anidiots.guide/api/facepalm/?avatar=$ {avatar}`) .set ("token", "nope");

how do i get a channel by input ID/#channelname?

worthy storm
Why do people ask here
Youre more likely to get help in a support area for your lib not some random development channel 
ruby dust
a lot of people hate dapi, like me
languid dragon
because people seem nicer here and tend to spoonfeed too much
karmic parcel
low owl
Discord API is quite nice imo, at least the D.NET channel
No spoonfeeding but still helpful in the most cases
ruby dust
well in d.py channel, when you ask something most of the time you get an answer similar to "you don't know this!? go look at the docs, you cucc!"
not that literarelly, but it depends
heady zinc
in all channels
elder rapids
D.net channel is bad imo
They don't even have answers to some of my questions or ignore me or say it's wrong to do that
But I mostly have the more advanced questions
solemn obsidian
The issue is people start coding from discord bots and dont have any knowledge on how to use those docs
90% of the issues are solvable by just checking the docs
nimble merlin
How do I stop a field in an embed from requiring a value???
nimble merlin
that's annoying
is there any way to pass a value without adding any data (other than a space maybe?) into the value????
earnest phoenix
I doubt it
nimble merlin
I guess I could just add a line stop I guess?
earnest phoenix
That might work
earnest phoenix
Mhmm

ok, thanks anyway ๐

If I have a server id snowflake, is there a way I can get that server's icon?
inner jewel
you need to be in the guild

ugh effort
elder rapids
@solemn obsidian in the case of d.net documentation it's insanely garbage
It's auto-generated and sucks badly
solemn obsidian
well in that case its fair enough
(I mostly just see people asking simple things with d.js, no idea about other libs)
elder rapids
That I can understand but I hate d.net docs and could understand any confusion people get

Anybody know how to keep a bot online 24/7?

nimble merlin
Buy a VPS from an online VPS service
nimble merlin
Does anyone know how to allow users to customize a bot prefix for their server in d.py async???
ruby dust
I found the Anybody know part funny cause the majority of bot devs here host their bots 24/7 xD
use some sort of data storing file, a database prefered
nimble merlin
oh...ok...I better start learning how to do that ๐ถ
ruby dust
I personally suggest you to learn SQLite3 since I'm using it
but there might be others that will give you other options
nimble merlin
ok...
inner jewel
the issue with sqlite is that it's not concurrent
so it doesn't scale for writes
reads can be concurrent iirc
nimble merlin
I'm clearly a noob....just saying...
nimble merlin
ahhhh
ruby dust
just find a good source that teaches SQLite3 for python specifically in this case
nimble merlin
ok
I'll learn it when i'm a bit more advanced....for now people can just stick to T. or @compact hill .... the mention alone is enough....

these are only the cached ones

Ur cached
earnest phoenix
But why at the same time both my beta version + main cached just my server
restive silo
@topaz fjord no memes in here
earnest phoenix
I don't get it
restive silo
what these are only the cached members
fetch all members before to make sure you get it correct
earnest phoenix
But how two version of the bot cached the count at the same time
All members is OK
Just offline
Idk why
restive silo
i think i miss your point
earnest phoenix
This problem is only on my own server
In other servers its OK
Also I have only problem with offline member count
I'm losing my mind
What am I doing wrong
msg.guild.memberCount.filter(m => m.user.presence.status == "offline")

restive silo
as i said try to fetch all members on that server before and aswell use the members presence over the users one
nimble merlin
OK, so, where do I put the HTML/Markdown code for a background image in the dbl page of my bot??? Is it detailed description or what???
topaz fjord
Fetch all members and iterate through them
@nimble merlin in the description box

if I do that...do I have to use a different language???

@earnest phoenix that's against discord TOS
elder rapids
No bot will let you set their icon/profile picture
idle grail
Yeah
nimble merlin
ok..
idle grail
not mine never
idle grail
Banned probably
elder rapids
Because it's probably abuse/against ToS
and it's a global icon too
Every server sees it
idle grail
yeah
nimble merlin
yea
earnest phoenix
if user can change icon so why no bot ?
nimble merlin
it's against TOS
idle grail
no
nimble merlin
cos bot's are owner by a user
idle grail
only the owner can change
nimble merlin
and the user has to spend sooooo many hours coding a bot
earnest phoenix
no no i want to own bot not code
nimble merlin
My bot has taken about 100 hours + to code so far...and it's it's kinda crap rn...altthough I have much to learn

Don't use setInterval for that.

@idle grail you just posted that a minute ago :/

Yeah it got lost boi

Instead post stats on ready, guildCreate & guildDelete events.

@shrewd totem yeah its in ready

@elder rapids what he said

You can even ask Oliy and he will tell you you should be using an interval to post stats

Even waiting 15 minutes is decent, you dont need live stats

it's just spamming the API for no reason
solemn obsidian
There is no point
heady zinc
you don't need a server count accurate in real time
idle grail
what
elder rapids
Not to mention I like to go by the notion that discordbots.org is a third party service and it does not need the most up to date information as it's only displaying it for show. Use your own service if you want to record the stats better
idle grail
i don't understand what is going on

How's sending post events only on ready, guildCreate & guildDelete events spamming api! ๐

what if bot gets invited/kicked 60 times in hour?

Where tf did you get the idea using setInterval is spamming
inner jewel
no
solemn obsidian
or w/e the limit is

On ready is good tho right

setInterval is not spamming
and discord has already sent spams of guild joins
during outages

But using setInterval is not efficient. And won't send correct guildCounts

"not efficient"

setInterval(()=>postStats(), 1800 seconds)

what

Yeah ik

am done with this scrub *

No u we are not done with this yet

ded I think we are

We're done.

the recommended way is setInterval
idle grail
k
inner jewel
it's definitely not spam if you can do math
idle grail
Lol ik
inner jewel
and you don't need to post on join/leave/ready
inner jewel
ready + setInterval is fine too
elder rapids
ready is only fired once and that's where you set your interval. imo that's decent

btw thats my 3rd setInterval there lol

ur mom gey - Today at 22:19 ready + setInterval is fine too the way to go

Learn SQL or whatever type of Database you seem fit and then learn a library that supports you in using it in your chosen language.

trust me it's simple

Don't just use some library though, your database model will be shit

so dataset is your option

Yes and that is a pretty nice goal, but you should understand what dataset does and what technology it uses
Because otherwise your relations or tables will be ugly af

is there anything that I have to download or extensions for VSCode???

nope

๐

just pip install dataset
nimble merlin
simple enough

@low owl yes i agree, but simple wins

for a while yes
nimble merlin
ok

but if bot grows a lot talking 20k+ then you should start finding alternatives
nimble merlin
ok...I don't anticipate a server count of 20K+ for a lonnnngggg time
low owl
Don't do it like me and run your database locally (testing purposes) then decide to use Docker and forget about your db and wonder why your data is not persistent

I'll try my best not to lol

abstract mango
what about it being sync though
that may as well just freeze your bot if it takes too long
nimble merlin
hmmm
I thought dataset was gonna be hard...but I was wrong...it's ludicrously hard...
I guess it's only hard cos i've never even heard of it before...
abstract mango
yeah
you probably just need to get used to it
i thought d.py was hard until i memorized all of the (basic/needed) methods and stuff

How do I find a users playing message (similar to how you find their id, name etc etc)
inner jewel
get it from a member
nimble merlin
?
inner jewel
users don't have presences
nimble merlin
so is it .format(member.presence)???

How would I get my bots uptime in hms using discord js
hms = Hours Minutes Seconds
trim plinth
you'd have to do hms formatting yourself but it's bot.uptime to get the uptime in ms

Hi
Can someone tell me how can I add some variables together in D.JS?
Like I have 2 vars and I want to do this:
A variable called: First
Another one called: Second
I want to do First + Second
I did this but it's not working:
${$tempVars(First)} + ${TempVars (Second)}}
cold harness
couldn't you just call two local variables and then reference them later in the loop?
earnest phoenix
I did at the short code I've sent
But not working
earnest phoenix
?
earnest phoenix
Won't won't I think
cold harness
basiaclly use local variables and not temporary ones
earnest phoenix
I need temp
cold harness
why?
earnest phoenix
Because that's how I wrote my code
cold harness
most discord commands don't need more than 1 second of computation time
cold harness
then switch all to local
it's bad practice to have a ton of data that you make then lose later
earnest phoenix
Temp var is gone after executing command
War
Haha
So I'll resend my question again

@low rivet thanks for then help but I got it working.

It doesn't look like discord.py has any way of fetching messages in a channel. You'd have to store the last message in a property like server.client.member.lastMessage and update that variable whenever the bot sends a message. @cold harness

thx i noticed that

Does the use of a widget requirement for certification have to be on a website or github page? Can I put it in a command like >>status instead? <@&304313580025544704>

Display the widget on a github repo or a site

remove space between pass_ctx and bool

Hello, how do I get discord heartbeat? I'm on javascript

Which lib?
bleak sapphire
how do i use a check permission in a if statement?
jovial sable
Discord.js
ruby dust
@bleak sapphire you mean checking if the message author has a guild permission?
bleak sapphire
yes
earnest phoenix
wat lib thou
bleak sapphire
earnest phoenix
ok bye. .. . .. .
earnest phoenix
i dont know py xD i had coded it like 3 years ago lol
ruby dust
if not ctx.author.guild_permissions.<permission>:
return
```that would be how I isolate a command to a specific guild permission, you can look at the docs for a permission listHow do I make command catergories or do I need to use cogs?
bleak sapphire
Ok ty
topaz fjord
What is this cogs people talk about
bleak sapphire
same lol
bleak sapphire
owww
gilded thunder
Do I put cogs in a folder or the root?
Because I can't seem to load cogs.
I'm new to that btw.
ruby dust
I'm currently at work so I can't really show my code for it
ruby dust
but basically
bleak sapphire
imma go check the docs now
ruby dust
you need to make a list object of files from the same directory and with for loop load all of them

Does anyone know how It's possible to have an invite with no inviter?
ruby dust
iirc, the only way to have a "no inviter" is to make your server create that invite with your server widget
gilded thunder
Sounds right.
ruby dust
it still going to return their current name and pfp
ruby dust
like how hackbanning works, you can still see the member even if they aren't in the server :^)
bleak sapphire
anyone knows how i can make it so that everytime i execute the command bellow it sends the server names to me in 1 message not like one by one
Code/Command :
@bot.command(pass_context=True)
async def servers(ctx):
if ctx.message.author.id == OWNER_ID:
servers = sorted(list(bot.servers), key=lambda s: s.name.lower())
for i, server in enumerate(servers):
await bot.send_message(ctx.message.author, "**{}**".format(server.name))
await bot.say("Successfully sent you the servers im in")
else:
await bot.say(noperm)

Donโt know, Iโm D.PY.
Probably make an event handler and have a message send with the command list.

just send a normal message with the contents describing the commands?

hey all, I was wondering
Could you guys help me out with this issue of mine
I'm trying to sort a map by a key's value
only the sort doesn't seem to actually sort it properly
members.sort((a, b) => b.totalXp - a.totalXp)
It didnt put the highest XP on top, or so
solemn obsidian
b.totalXp < a.totalXp && 1 || b.totalXp > a.totalXp && -1 || 0
If b has less xp than a, then a goes above in the array, if b has more than a then b goes above, if both have same amount then no change
.sort mostly just works based on the values it gets of 1/0/-1 telling it how to sort
tepid laurel
Ah I see,
but still the very first one is a member with 0 xp
and the second one is me
with the max xp
solemn obsidian
then i fucked, flip either the greater/less than signs or the 1 and -1 with eachother
tepid laurel
imma try thanks a lot
@solemn obsidian okay so the last part where you put 0
I changed that to b.totalXP == 0
and it did change the structure and sorted it in a way
BUT,
A dude with 57xp is on the lowest of the list
solemn obsidian
Why compare to 0?
tepid laurel
and myself I have 84 and am above him
so I am guessing that uh
It puts all 0's above everything or smthn
and then starts the rest
solemn obsidian
In the code i sent i compare if its greater or less than, so if it gets to that part it means xp for a and b is same
b.totalXp > a.totalXp && 1 || b.totalXp < a.totalXp && -1 || 0
tepid laurel
ah, I see, but then again, if I keep it that way it didnt sort it at all
@solemn obsidian
tepid laurel
oh lol that must be it
wait no
very sure it exists
it auto sets it to 0 if the data is empty
if there is data it sets the xp to it
solemn obsidian
Run the same code but add at the end .map(a => a.totalXp)
solemn obsidian
b.totalXp > a.totalXp && 1 || b.totalXp < a.totalXp && -1 || 0
idle grail
someone halp
tepid laurel
yeah point it
solemn obsidian
something using snekfetch
tepid laurel
is*
tepid laurel
have you tried googling promise rejections
idle grail
Yeah it doesn't really help ;-;
solemn obsidian
do u do any http requests
tepid laurel
somePromiseFunc().then(that => do something with that) < that failed
since its not like catched its gonna error, cause ur trying to use something that don't exist or so
idle grail
Yeah i only used promises twice and catched in both
and that error is occuring in a setInterval i think because it keeps happining like every minute or something
wait lemme try something
i think its the postStats thing because it started right after i put it in
tepid laurel
what is "postStats"
idle grail
dbl.postStats
solemn obsidian
do u catch that func
solemn obsidian
there is ur problem
idle grail
๐ฎ
solemn obsidian
but better reason why that error happens, ur dbl token is wrong
idle grail
IT STOPPED AFTER I REMOVED IT
solemn obsidian
(u should still handle the error)
solemn obsidian
Unauthorized = token wrong
idle grail
Good?
Oh
it WAS broken lol
How do you even fucking copy it without messing it up
Need a copy button or an easier-to-select block of text ๐ก
WHATS THIS ERROR NOW

so im trying to make a npm package and this is my code:
