kind of on the same topic but also not, is there any way to use statements with the ternary/conditional operator in javascript? like, an equivalent to ```js
if (conditionWhichHappensToBeTrue) return "I'm dumb"; else {
var a = coolJavaScript();
}
not 100% sure tbh
earnest phoenix
alright well if anybody comes up with anything ping me, i need to go to sleep
and also IIFEs dont work since they aren't in the right scope/return doesn't return from the function that the conditional operator is in/etc
sick cloud
anyone with eris knowledge know why this isn't working? this.on(event.name, event.bind(null, this));
events don't work

Is anyone aware of a way for a bot to delete the oldest message posted by a user in a channel so that, in theory, they only ever have 1 message posted at a time (unless it exceeds the 14-day limit)?
In practice, I'm using a channel as a means to update players status' and many forget to delete their previous update, so I've been doing it manually for a long time. It would be awesome if a bot could do the majority of that work: @ User_X updates status #1, then @ User_X soon afterwards, updates status #2, ideally #1 could then be deleted automatically.
lament meteor
whats a good lib for requesting websites in py?
cursive dagger
Requests? It is blocking for bots so if you want it async use aiohttp
lament meteor
blocking?
sick cloud
scraping or general api requests
uneven depot
requests lib is fine for most things
lunar knot
@fast fjord You could just store the message id of your player status and the author.
you can delete messages by id then and you can check on new messages by the same user
fast fjord
Ahh @lunar knot they aren't editing the same message, but creating a new one - so it would have a different id to my understanding, correct?
mossy vine
@fast fjord new message is new id, yes
fast fjord
I'm just surprised there isn't (or I haven't found) a bot that does, essentially, reverse-purging ๐ค
lunar knot
you could do it yourself easily so yea why having a function for it
fast fjord
Seems like something that would be possible and have a lot of uses
lunar knot
hm idk
fast fjord
more than nice servers i mean
I would bet that a lot of servers have a channel where they wan't to store just the most recent update/message by their users
it could even be used as like a status update
mossy vine
Of yknow, you could just take an entirely different approach to this problem which doesnt require working around api limits
fast fjord
yes?
mossy vine
Yes
fast fjord
I'm not a dev, or a veery good one at least, so it's beyond my capabilities
mossy vine
Anything is possible with some creativity and a little bit of coding
fast fjord
Yeah, I've been working on a bot for months now and can't even set up the hosting
I get clusterfucked by the command-line terminal jargin
the coding i understand mostly
mossy vine
Learning how to properly use a terminal is very useful
fast fjord

uneven depot
@fast fjord if you don't mind posting sample code, can try to help.

you said you were working on a bot for this so if you need help with some bug, maybe can post code on pastebin or something and post a link here so we can help

Okay, just putting this out here
Im having troubles with setting up a subdomain. I use namecheap, host with github pages. The main website is working perfectly. I have configured a subdomain with freedns, but github says the dns isnt set up correctly, when its literally configured the same way as the main website
If anyone can help, please dm me
fast fjord
specifically tailored to a certain game
uneven depot
do you mean in a way where it integrates with the game itself?
fast fjord
nope. manually input. users update various aspects and the bot, in theory, tracks and keeps it to spit out at a later time in different ways when needed
It's a mobile game: CATS. They don't make any APIs or anything public. Even their art assets are locked behind hard-to-reach containers.
which is more my area. I'm a Graphic Designer
But I'm the leader of a prominent gang with a large discord (for the game - 200+ ppl), and I'm always looking for ways to improve the user experience for my members.

the code i sent will tag the owner of the server

but how a rol?
mossy vine
most servers dont even have an owner role
this will tag the owner of the server
if you run the code here it will mention oliy
since he owns the guild
(btw dont tag oliy he will be mad)
((and youll probably get muted))

.setTitle(title)
.setColor(color)
.setDescription(description)
.setURL(url)
.setImage(options.image)
.setFooter(options.footer ? options.footer : randomFooter())

@knotty steeple I learned from sololearn but I had experience with programming languages before
It's kinda hilarious that the first language I used was php
The first I've learned was ASM 16bit
I sound old
carmine crane
how do i get the number of servers my bot is in to show up? 
right now it just says N/A
coral trellis
@carmine crane What lib did you write it in?
carmine crane
discord.py with version 1.0
coral trellis
Rip I guess I can't help with that one 
carmine crane
how does it work on discord.js? maybe i can work from there
coral trellis
const DBL = require('dblapi.js');
const dbl = new DBL(DBLTOKEN);
dbl.postStats(client.guilds.size)
.then(() => console.log("Posted Stats"))
.catch(error => console.log(error))```hmm i guess this here would be the python alternative?

coral trellis
Indeed
carmine crane
thanks for the help! 
coral trellis
Didn't do anything No problem 
knotty steeple
@carmine crane post to the api yourself
with aiohttp
pls
i think the py library is broken rn
carmine crane
oh okay you've got an example for that maybe?

Yes but he/she wanted an example
spring ember
irrelevant
carmine crane
thanks i think i'll be able to manage from there 
amber fractal
Should I add dbl api to my bot ๐ค
topaz fjord
Do you want server count on the site?
amber fractal
Ill just do it now so I dont have to do it later
The only problem is: attempting to install npm modules on a chromebook...
bright spear
Don't run ur bot on ur computer smh
bright spear
Why would installing npm modules work tho
amber fractal
All my code is on github... I need to install it then upload the file to my node modules
thats how I get all my modules
bright spear
Also it should probably work anyways since chrome os can run linux apps
bright spear
don't code on a school Chromebook smh
amber fractal
I have nothing else at the momeny
moment*
Im in the process of buying parts for my new computer
I just have to wait for school because they have computers there and I already installed node and git on it
quartz kindle
you can easily post your server stats without any module
west raptor
make the post request your self
amber fractal
maybe if I knew anything about it ๐ค
primal ferry
.
amber fractal
Ik, idk how to do it tho, never have
quartz kindle
you can use node's http or any http library such as snekfetch/request/etc
amber fractal
I still need to download those though, dont i?
lament meteor
snekfetch is outdated
amber fractal
Ill look into it thanks
quartz kindle
check this example
scroll down to Giulio Roggero's answer
its clean and well commented, while most other answers are basically "use a better library"
amber fractal
It gives me error unauthorized, i generated a token just no idea where it goes
amber fractal
Ive never done posts or requests before
quartz kindle
a header is a separate part of the request
earnest phoenix
then read docs rather than diving blind
amber fractal
"Im in the docs.."
earnest phoenix
but you arent reading them
Guys don't be dicks.
and no, skimming isnt reading
Help him instead of saying the same thing over and over.
quartz kindle
show us what you tried @amber fractal
quartz kindle
show the code you tried
amber fractal
Trying one last thing
server_count: bot.guilds.size
});
var options = {
hostname: 'https://discordbots.org/api',
port: 80,
path: '/bots/524286767373877253/stats',
method: 'POST',
headers: {
Authorization: dbltoken
}
};
var reqPost = http.request(options, (res) =>{
console.log("statusCode: ", res.statusCode);
res.on('data', function(d) {
console.info('POST result:\n');
process.stdout.write(d);
console.info('\n\nPOST completed');
});
});
reqPost.write(postData);
reqPost.end();
reqPost.on('error', (e) => {
console.error(`Error: ${e.message}`);
});```
new error now tho too `Error: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND https://discordbots.org/api https://discordbots.org/api:80`port 80 is http only, https uses port 443
also, to use https, you need to use node's https library instead: require("https")
i dont remember if dbl accepts http or only https, but in any case its better to use https
so ```js
const https = require("https");
req = https.request(options, etc...)```
amber fractal
I tried that at first
Ill do it again
{"error":"Required parameter server_count or shards missing"}
amber fractal
Post data: {"server_count":8}
quartz kindle
hmm
quartz kindle
it should be number
amber fractal
Or array of numbers it says, but I dont see the issue
quartz kindle
maybe it needs the post body to be in querystring format?
sick cloud
content type must be json
quartz kindle
yes
amber fractal
status code 200
it worked then
I think
POST result: {} POST completed is what my console says
quartz kindle
check the website
quartz kindle
awesome :)
amber fractal
And now i know something about posts
prime cliff
Thonk why does Content-Type have to be wrapped in ' but Authorization isnt xD
inner jewel
because of the -
that makes it an invalid identifier
so it must be wrapped in quotes
prime cliff
Good to note lol
quartz kindle
in case of doubt, just wrap everything in quotes
sick cloud

fervent oyster
Is there a equivalent to broadcastEval for eris
lament meteor
same tbh
lyric talon
Hey guys, could someone help me to create a function that send every messages to a log channel ?
i don't know if have any command in the discord.py
ty โค
gilded blaze
No need for a broadcastEval in Eris. It's only one process which is why you can use the Shard collection stored in the client
fervent oyster
Oh, so client.shards or somthin
earnest phoenix
raw data for music commands please
amber fractal

im trying to get all channel ids and names in an array using the code below, but it only pushes the last chanobj a ton of times
client.on('ready', () => {
client.channels.forEach(chan => {
chanobj.name = client.channels.get(chan.id).name
chanobj.id = client.channels.get(chan.id).id
console.log(chanobj)
chans.push(chanobj)
})
console.log(chans)
})ห```oh nice syntax highlighting discord
chans is the array and chanobj is supposed to be temporary
zealous veldt
where is chanobj declared?
zealous veldt
maybe declare it inside of the loop
zealous veldt
No problem :)
mossy vine
alright, ran into yet another problem
appearently client.channels.get('channelid').send('message') doesnt work, when i console.log `client.channels.get('channel.id') it works, but doesnt send anything
knotty steeple
library
mossy vine
d.js
mossy vine
but i dont want the guild
knotty steeple
try it
mossy vine
it wont be u s e r f r i e n d l y
knotty steeple
p l s
mossy vine
i need to do it like this
knotty steeple
client.guilds.get("currentguild").channels.get("channelid").send("hello")``` everything works but .send
no i used to be able to do it like this
okay im doing that right now and still doesnt work @knotty steeple
client.guilds.get(client.channels.get(CHAN).guild.id).channels.get(CHAN).send(ans.message)
CHAN is the id if the channel
it logs the guild perfectly, logs the channel.get perfectly, but still doesnt .send
๐ฉ
knotty steeple
red spade
@mossy vine Wouldn't just client.channels.get(CHAN).send("Message") work?
amber fractal
Wait what you trying to do?
knotty steeple
do people not read the past messages
mossy vine
im trying to get the bot to send a message to a specified channel
red spade
well I think trying very complicated things isn't gonna help
gilded blaze
Is ans.message null?
red spade
where do you get the channel from? Is it a channel ID or a complete channel object?
mossy vine
nope, ans.message is a perfectly fine string
its a channel id
as i said above
again, everything is perfectly fine except .send
amber fractal
"do people not read the past messages" no, we dont. And i cant help if i dont know what it is that they is trying to do, or atleast have an error message
red spade
and you're sure the channel id is from a valid text channel where the bot has the right read/write permissions?
mossy vine
yes, i am sure
it works with a message.channel.send but i am running this in the ready event
mossy vine
how do i do that?
amber fractal
Trying to get all channels by ids and names?
gilded blaze
Learn how promises work. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Promise
mossy vine
again Steven, client.guilds.get(CHAN.guild.id), client.channels.get(CHAN), client.guilds.get(CHAN.guild.id).get(CHAN) all work perfectly
yet .send() doesnt
amber fractal
Error?
gilded blaze
It must error if it is not successful
You have an error
Maybe you are catching the promise rejections and not logging it
amber fractal
Must not be logging it
