@earnest phoenix it wasn't supposed to 100%. Your token should be private always

Anyone help me please
earnest phoenix
help with what

@odd dune what do you need help with

One message removed from a suspended account.
grizzled raven
@earnest phoenix when you reset your token, it changes
so you need to update it in the code
west raptor
^ note: it only changes when you explicitly tell it to or you login 1000 times in a 24h period, those are the only times it resets as far as I know
west raptor
Eh? Since when
modest maple
since a while
found out the hard way a couple times as i accidently commit it and the bot instant gets kicked off
west raptor
I don't remember anything like that being put in place but okay
I'll try in a bit on a bit i don't care about
grizzled raven
yeah i also found that the hard way
modest maple
good safety feature tho
grizzled raven
i changed a bot's token and committed to a repo multiple times
i thought the way i would fix it was by resetting the token, committing and logging in really really fast lol
worked some times

well define webhookclient then
modest maple
well logically you cant really
cuz if its a default emoji it will be unicode not an ID

LastSentMessage = await Data.channel.send(embed=EmbedList[0])```I am
Really quite stumped

EmbedList has Min two Embed Objects in it, ive checked and logged it, each time two elements
the Data object is similar to the Message object just with client in it for ease of use
I get
No Error
yet it isnt sending the message

got some code for a profile command to use canvas to display info
i need help getting info from a table from MySQL so i can use it in canvas
use a text sharing service like hastebin to share code
removed the password since its a password xD
i originally was close when i had let level = await conection.query(`SELECT level FROM info WHERE ID = '${msg.author.id}'`) but it would display on the canvas [object, object] or something like that
help?
ive been at this for hours xD
quartz kindle
are you sure your mysql library supports async tho?
last time when i checked, it didnt seem like it did
you cannot use await connection.query() if query() is not a promise
if you want to use async/await, you need to promisify it yourself
like this js let level = await new Promise((resolve,reject) => { connection.query(... , rows => { resolve(rows[0].level) }) })
or just stick to callbacks like you were doing before: ```js
connection.query(... , rows => {
// do all your code here
let canvas = new Canvas(...)
.addText(rows[0].level)
...
msg.channel.send(...)
})
imagine using a lib that wasnt based on promises
modest maple
I mean SQL does have a async version
For Py atleast
Alchemy also is async I do believe
quartz kindle
most databases have at least 5 or 6 different libraries and drivers for them lol
afaik hes using this one https://www.npmjs.com/package/mysql
last publish 9 months ago
modest maple
Yh
Python has a asyncsqlite version
Idk if theirs a js version that isn't alchemy
knotty steeple
quartz kindle
but like, database tech is pretty solid and slow moving, you dont really need "the latest modern actively updated library", you can stick with the old and proven drivers
most newer ones are built on top of the old ones any way
modest maple
Yh
And unless it's a massive and I mean massive db
The effect of the blocking code is pretty much unnoticeable
quartz kindle
db's are non-blocking by design, unless explicitly marked as sync
they use node's i/o callbacks
modest maple
Yh
fast dune
hey guys, is it possible to get the game that a user is currently playing through an API?
honest karma
yes
fast dune
how? i couldn't find the relevant docs
honest karma
what api are you using
fast dune
hmm not sure if i understand. my question was whether such an API exists
honest karma
I mean...?
grizzled raven
js or py
modest maple
If you mean what game they're playing as shown in discord, discord API does that
fast dune
does it? i can't find it from the official docs
i'm not seeing any API that tells me what game they are playing
modest maple
What programming language r u using
Because it's defo available for the d.py and d.js libs
I don't think it's a listed thing on discord's docs
honest karma
ah.
ivory sapphire
Idk about JS
honest karma
hold on lemme get it
ivory sapphire
Probably the same though, maybe
quartz kindle

how to fix this:
There was an error processing your song.
[ffmpeg was not found.]
FFmpeg IS installed, but im still getting this
earnest phoenix
ffmpeg is not an installable program
it is a CLI
portable
it needs to be in the directory you are searching it in
unique nimbus
No
Put it where main.py is
@minor kelp
Or whatever you run for the bot to start
minor kelp
ok

If I wanted to use JSON for a "database" is there a chance of loosing "data" if the bot is in multiple thousand servers?
Ping with response, please.
blissful scaffold
it depends,
if every server has it's own file then it should be fine
if everything is in one file but there is only 1 write or read action at a time then it should be fine
the main problem is that JSON isn't made to be used as a database and it might be slow when it gets bigger
west spoke
I use a json based database on get requests and post requests only, and all that

If you manage to not do many I/O operations all at once, JSON isn't that bad but it's still recommended to use an actual database for bigger bots

How tf does changing my API key do THIS
@earnest phoenix any ideas?
Like it thinks the token isn't provided
But it is
It's right fucking there
earnest phoenix
Unable to think clearly rn
earnest phoenix
@stable horizon that isn't why?
west raptor
If you just want to get the JavaScript contents you would have to parse and remove everything else
earnest phoenix
@west raptor actually im trying to save my toggle button checked data on db.
Im stuck from 4 days
earnest phoenix
All times its undefined db
quartz kindle
you can pass data into an ejs file
render(ejsfile,data)
the other way around is more complicated because ejs is supposed to be like html, to render and send
but you need to explain better what you're trying to do
because ejs is rendered server side
so you mean save something to a database during rendering while still on server side?
or do the database thing on the client side after the user receives it and uses it?
earnest phoenix
Im trying to save a toggle switch button data on firebase
quartz kindle
when a user clicks on it?
earnest phoenix
Yes
quartz kindle
thats client side code
has nothing to do with ejs
you probably want to use ajax for that
earnest phoenix
But that button inside .ejs
quartz kindle
it doesnt matter
ejs is a rendering file
the file will get converted into html/js/css
and sent to the user
the user doesnt receive ejs, he receives html/css/js
earnest phoenix
And how lt possible with ajax
quartz kindle
when a user clicks the button, the button executes js code and sends data to the server
this is browser javascript, not server javascript
like a .js file that you put in your <script> tags
so you need to do something like <button onclick="js function">, or have a <script>document.querySelection("button").addEventListener("click", function())</script>
earnest phoenix
Wait ill show you my code
quartz kindle
and then the function must be in ajax (asynchronous javascript execution) if you dont want the page to reload
and ajax has a million of security vulerabilities by the way so its not easy to protect
also make sure you dont send any authentication or api key to the client
earnest phoenix
manage.ejs
<script>
var input = document.getElementById('toggleswitch');
var outputtext = document.getElementById('status');
var db = <%db%>
input.addEventListener('change',async function(db, guild, guildID) {
if(this.checked) {
outputtext.innerHTML = true;
db.ref(`servers/<%=guildID%>`).update({
autojoin: true
}).catch(function(err) {
console.log(err + "\n\n\n");
});
} else {
outputtext.innerHTML = false;
db.ref(`servers/<%=guildID%>`).update({
autojoin: false
}).catch(function(err) {
console.log(err + "\n\n\n");
});
}
});
</script>
deshboard.js
app.get("/manage/:guildID", checkAuth, async (req, res) => {
const guild = bot.guilds.get(req.params.guildID);
if (!guild) return res.status(404);
const isManaged = guild && !!guild.member(req.user.id) ? guild.member(req.user.id).permissions.has("MANAGE_GUILD") : false;
if (!isManaged && !req.session.isAdmin) res.redirect("/");
const autojoin = (await db.ref(`servers/${guild.id}`).child('autojoin').once('value')).val();
renderTemplate(res, req, "manage.ejs", {
guild: guild,
guildID: guild.id,
db: db,
autojoin: autojoin
});
});
error is db.ref is not a function
quartz kindle
that will never work
earnest phoenix
then ?
quartz kindle
look
imagine a discord bot
what you are doing is like doing message.send(db)
on discord
you're trying to send the database connection to the client
earnest phoenix
Ah
quartz kindle
because ejs is like message.send()
earnest phoenix
How should i do this
quartz kindle
as i told you, you need to write client side code
earnest phoenix
@nimble steppe wait plz
nimble steppe
ok
quartz kindle
what you are writing inside the <script> tags will be sent to the user and executed on the users computer
the user's computer is not your server, it has no variables no databases, nothing
nimble steppe
@earnest phoenix ?
earnest phoenix
Ah right
summer torrent
@nimble steppe what is your problem
nimble steppe
Invites maganer
is my server offline
!invites
no
?invites
no
$invites
no
earnest phoenix
So i need to pass that data to my server right ?
quartz kindle
????
solemn viper
i invited the bot to my server
summer torrent
go to support server of inv manager
earnest phoenix
@quartz kindle
summer torrent
@nimble steppe https://discord.gg/S977tw2
solemn viper
i can t join
quartz kindle
@earnest phoenix you need to code a script to be executed on the user side that does everything: listen to the button click, create an http request back to your server, send data to your server
and then in your server you need to have an endpoint to accept it
nimble steppe
@summer torrent i'm banned on this server
solemn viper
it s from discord a friend invited me on a server and i had the same problem
earnest phoenix
Im confused i really dont know how to send data from client side to my server side
quartz kindle
@solemn viper you created a bot and invited it to your server? thats all you did?
summer torrent
do you understand?
earnest phoenix
@nimble steppe plz wait some sec.
quartz kindle
@nimble steppe help with what? we are not "invitemanager" this server is not the invitemanager server
summer torrent
He says invitemanager is offline
earnest phoenix
@quartz kindle bro is this right way?
<form action="/" method="POST">
<input type="hidden" name="autojoinbtn" id="toggleswitch" value="">
</form>
that is one way to do it
a <form> tag will automatically send the the contents to the url in the action when the submit button is clicked
but that is not ajax, that will reload the page
like clicking a link
earnest phoenix
Oh
quartz kindle
there are a million different ways to do it
you can use a <form> and overwrite the action with preventDefault()
or you dont need a form at all, you can add a click listener on any kind of tag
or any other kind of listener
basically what you want is:```js
<someElement>.addEventListener("click/change/whatever", function() {
create a new http request here
you can use the Fetch API or use XMLHTTPRequest
})
Ok and where i listen that request ?
quartz kindle
send a request to, lets say, "yourwebsite.com/ajax/autojoin"
and in your server code you add .post("/ajax/autojoin", (res,req) => {})
earnest phoenix
Ok i understand but i will be new page
quartz kindle
yes, its a new page, but you dont need to send anything
the ajax will connect to it without reloading the page
and your new page will receive, do something, and optionally respond
and the ajax will do something with response or not
all in the background of the page
earnest phoenix
Is ajax easy for bigginer
quartz kindle
👍 good luck
modest maple
Ajax is good but can be a pain for some other systems
earnest phoenix
Is the site fixed
Can someone pls tell at which position my bot is in the waiting list for checking for the add bot
sinful lotus
bots can be processed out of order, and as for how long read #502193464054644737

modest maple

I'm using this to create a file. I can't do it manually. It needs to be automated.

green kestrel
Ok so im just looking to vent for a few mins. Please check out my scything sarcasm below.
I present to you... the generic bot list (not top.gg).
It's written in node.js and is a fork of someone else's bot list. It runs on glitch, but eventually I'll get a $3 VPS and run it there as root.
For a database I'll use a JSON database.
I'll make sure to cover it in ads.
My server will be full of drama where I bicker alongside other list devs.
At the bottom of all sites will be a protected by DMCA notice even though I'm not even American.
/S. 👍 😁 comments welcome.
And yeah I'm not picking on anyone in Particular, just making fun of the culture that seems to spring up around discord bot lists in general.
floral bloom
Am I creating a .json file correctly? Because it doesn't seem to be working.
fs.writeFile(`guilds/${guild.id}/settings.json`, defaultSettings);
doesnt json have its own system rather than writing to it like a txt file
wooden lance
wait a minute is that json being used as a database??
floral bloom
I don't know, I'm using Glitch. Every time my bot joins a server, I want to create a new file. And when it leaves/is removed a server, I want it to delete that file. I haven't used json this way before, so I'm confused.
Directed to @modest maple
modest maple
oh god
floral bloom
@wooden lance Well, yes.
wooden lance
Why don't you just use a database?
modest maple
dont use json
green kestrel
Lol, glitch makes good devs do bad things
wooden lance
Yes dont
modest maple
user a DB
modest maple
dont even bother starting with a json it will kill you in the future
floral bloom
Well...
A friend and I are programming the bot on Glitch and then exporting the code to GitHub.
But json should be able to work.
earnest phoenix
use a db don't use json
green kestrel
Wait wut someone's using glitch for its intended purpose of collaborative prototyping?!?!
floral bloom
We may need to transfer to a better database in the future...
green kestrel
What the hell the world's gone all right
wooden lance
If you don't understand or dont want to learn how to interact with a db just use something like enmap
earnest phoenix
json file collation is not a database and can't be compared to one because it's simply too poor in performance
wooden lance
and breaks when ever you write to it
floral bloom
I've tried so many databases, and even tried enmap, in the past, but it has always failed me. JSON is the only thing that has worked.
wooden lance
works for me
green kestrel
I have two file types in my bot that are JSON: it's config file, and help files. The help files are just raw embeds
earnest phoenix
buy a server and host a database server on there, that way both you and your friend can use it at the same time while having synced results
green kestrel
JSON is fine until you want multi user access, or indexing, or Fk relationship, or atomic access....
uneven wyvern
I can't upload Pictures lmao

Or replication, or security, or redundancy, or...

We don't have a server to host it on at the moment. We may have one, but if not, my friend will keep it online via his computer.
quartz kindle
just do search

He will back up the JSON files with his drive also.

btw Ace, no database has "failed" you, rather you probably failed to use them properly :P

I always get a bunch of errors no matter what tutorial I follow.
quartz kindle
@uneven wyvern what did you change? did you save?
uneven wyvern
yes
quartz kindle
because tutorials are trash
uneven wyvern
even twice
quartz kindle
to properly use a database you need to learn how to read documentations
and follow that instead
uneven wyvern
is it because I have === name?
floral bloom
I've tried, but...
uneven wyvern
ok solved. But now I get undefined found
quartz kindle
@uneven wyvern there are many things wrong with your code, but is its still saying search not found?
ok
now you need to fix the parameters
uneven wyvern
what parameters?
quartz kindle
because function({some:thing}) is the same as function(something) its still only one parameter
if you want to use two parameters, then properly use two
search(name,something)
uneven wyvern
so I can basically delete the parameter name?
quartz kindle
basically dont make it an object
if you use {something:something2} thats not two paramenters, thats one object with a key and a value

I know people don't recommend it, but how do I create a file? I'm trying:

But it doesn't work. I've Googled and can't find anything.
mossy vine
use a relative path and make sure the directories exist
floral bloom
...huh? Sorry, I'm confused.
quartz kindle
what do you mean "doesnt work"? any error? does the file not get created?
also, writeFile needs a callback
floral bloom
@quartz kindle The file isn't created AFAIK.
Error when trying to access the file:
Cannot find module './guilds/664176673997979649/settings.json'
*that's the server ID
quartz kindle
have you actually went into the folder and checked?
dont rely on your code for that
floral bloom
I reloaded the page. That is a different ID.
floral bloom
That's a different file.
I don't think the file was ever created.
bot.on("guildCreate", guild => {
let checkSettings = require(`./guilds/${guild.id}/settings.json`);
if (!checkSettings || !checkApps) {
let defaultSettings = {
"prefixes": ["/"],
"inServer": true
};
bot.fs.writeFile(`guilds/${guild.id}/settings.json`, defaultSettings);
} else {
checkSettings.inServer = true;
}
});
```This is the whole code.again, writeFile needs a callback
its an async function
unless you use writeFileSync
fs.writeFile('message.txt', data, (err) => {
if (err) throw err;
console.log('The file has been saved!');
});```also, as far as i know, trying to require a non-existent file will throw an error
so doing if(!requiredfile) wont really work
you need to try/catch it
let file;
try {
file = require(..)
} catch(e) {
file = {
// default settings
}
}```🤷♂️ Still nothing.
quartz kindle
then you're still doing something wrong
floral bloom
bot.on("guildCreate", async guild => {
let checkSettings, defaultSettings;
try {
checkSettings = require(`./guilds/${guild.id}/settings.json`);
} catch(e) {
defaultSettings = {
"prefixes": ["/"],
"configAt": "channel",
"inServer": true
};
fs.writeFile(`guilds/${guild.id}/settings.json`, defaultSettings, (err) => {
if (err) throw err;
console.log('The file has been saved!');
});
}

is that the full stacktrace trace in red? You don't return if there was an error in the callback, so it'll log "File Saved." regardless. Are you possibly requiring ./guilds/.../settings.json somewhere else in your code

This isnt bot development obviously

lilac wharf
Okay this might seem like a stupid question but I just can't figure this one out:
I'm currently working on a system to do with levels and I'm trying to implement when they hit every 10 minutes they will increase a level but I just can't figure out how to do it without listing all levels (trying to do it to not hit a max level),
All that's coming to my head is something like this [which I know is a stupid method]
let level1 = 600;
if (_user[variable].time == level1) _user[variable].level = 1;
which is what I'm trying to avoid due to how irritating it will be with having to add each and every level...
Something which checks for each minute for example:
if _user[variable].time = 1200 that will then automatically change the level to 2
if _user[variable].time = 12000 that will then automatically change the level to 20
(Hopefully that should explain and help to get the gist of it)
If anyone has any ideas that'll be gratefully appreciated,
Thanks.
late hill
Just divide by 600?

crap I'm an idiot...

The lack of support for PC-built browsers (screenshot will be provided below)
The layout of the site

Different pages for example: Home (index.html) - Staff (Staff.html) - About (About.html) - Support (Support.index)The Color Scheme
Gradient light and dark blue just doesn't go well with a discord grey color in my opinion, Try actually sticking to Discord's color scheme is my suggestion (can be found here: https://discordapp.com/branding)

hmmm
can someone please offer me a bit of feedback on how i can improve this? https://github.com/braindigitalis/botnix-discord-cpp/wiki/Advanced-Chat-Commands#Embeds
I chose json because it easiest represents the embed format, but isnt that user friendly for non-programmers. however, any other format i pick is also not too friendly once i go into the realms of inline fields etc, and arrays of objects inside objects.
Thoughts?
I'm also considering adding a generator to my dashboard for them.

but isnt that user friendly for non-programmers
how so? I've seen non-programmers being able to follow json easily without any explanation
fresh mural
The only issue I've had with that sort of thing is embedding the bot prefix in the embeds, but that's just running it through a very simple template engine
green kestrel
so youre saying im not giving people enough credit if i asssume they'll all go "meh too hard"
😛
@fresh mural how do you mean embedding the bot prefix?
fresh mural
Some of my global embeds include examples of commands to be ran and the bot prefix is configurable
modest maple
Just have the prefix as a var and format the strings
fresh mural
That's exactly what I did :P
Just made it slightly more complex than it should have been

If I were to do something more complex, Jinja2 might have been a decent idea

lusty quest
is there an way to have an Or in js without that only use one of the options? like having 2 member ids and if one of them is valid that use this one and not just outputs invalid.
mossy vine
so you want to check if a user id is one of two ids or not?
lusty quest
currently when i try to use || in an if statement only one of them is used but the output is still invalid bcs the other id is invalid
quartz kindle
|| checks if the value is "truthy"
an id is a string, and a string is a truthy value
as opposite to a "falsey" value, such as "" 0 null undefined
etc
lusty quest
hmm. What i wanted to do is a small override for certain commands that should be either aviable for the Guild owner or the Botowner (set an id for this in my configs)
|| always gives me invalid
quartz kindle
so in fact you want if (id === guildowner || id === botowner)
lusty quest
yes
mossy vine
[guildowner, botowner].includes(id) maybe?
lusty quest
if (message.author.id !== message.guild.owner.id || message.author.id !== "247359861929672714") return message.reply("Only Guild Owners can perform this command!")
is the current way i try it
lusty quest
interestening. i looked up the docs for Or and i got || as answer
quartz kindle
IF author id is NOT EQUAL to owner id AND author id is NOT EQUAL to bot owner -> return
you want the error to happen if NOT AND NOT

Hey! I've never really been able to figure out because i just use try {}catch(err){}, but how do you catch a missing permissions error?
twilit rapids
Instead of catching it, you could check if your bot has the required permissions to do X action before you try to do it
slender chasm
true.
Hey how would I handle the members, when dealing with messages I just use messages.forEach()
but it says that isn't a function for members.
radiant basin
For some things you can't check if your bot has permissions to do X and you're forced to catch the error (e.g. when trying to send a direct message to a user and the user has DMs disabled or blocked the bot). Libraries typically throw an exception (or reject the promise in JS) when an API error occurred, so you will either want to append .catch(callback) to the promise or make the scope asynchronous, as try/catch blocks don't catch promise rejections unless the inner scope is async
slender chasm
message.guild.fetchMembers().then(members => {
members.forEach(...);
});```that wouldn't work.
How would I do this
even moreso how do i tell if that person owns the guild o.o
i don't normally work with fetch stuff.
radiant basin
if you've got the user ID, you can compare it to guild.ownerID (or whatever library you're using)
slender chasm
the guild owner isn't cached and causes a crash.
radiant basin
are you using discord.js
quartz kindle
what are you trying to do exactly? sending a message to all members is a no no no
