yes im just confused about the automation
#development
quartz kindle
because like in C you need to define which files you want to compile in the compiler
in js you need to explicitly import/require the files you want
nothing is automatic

@quartz kindle lol you tried to hack me >:(.
quartz kindle
i was just scaring you
earnest phoenix
I know you were joking dw
earnest phoenix
idfk it's your code
adding: you told your code "hey, this exists" and nothing else, you didn't tell it what value it has or anything, you just told it that it exists, so it takes a null value by default, because you didn't tell it otherwise
quiet topaz
so i have to do this?
earnest phoenix
@quartz kindle @regal creek lol sorry I’m new to coding @earnest phoenix
earnest phoenix
so i have to do this?
that's totally unrelated

that's totally unrelated
so how i can fix it
earnest phoenix
gilded olive
@earnest phoenix look in dms
quiet topaz
but why is it or how is it pointing, when i am jut initializing it in the code line ,where the error is
ok so now i dont get an error, but the window doesnt apear too
earnest phoenix
but why is it or how is it pointing
everything is explained in that SO thread, which if you have bothered to read, you wouldn't be asking this
when i am jut initializing it in the code line ,where the error is
except you aren't initializing anything, you just told it that it exists, it exists period, you didn't give it a value
imagine having a chill conversation with a person and you mention you have an orange, the person asks you if they can have that orange and you say "i don't have it on me right now"
null means it doesn't have a value, it isn't a valid state
hence... null
Why does it show error?
craggy pine
I like that orange example

Probably because it's creating a new event handler every time. You might want to look into how to delete event handlers (unregister them).
earnest phoenix

umbral zealot
alternatively, register it globally and figure out how to give it the information it needs to run outside of that command.
umbral zealot
Because you're not closeing anything. I don't see any of your } or }) anywhere.
umbral zealot
I mean you have to close every { with a }

Understood, I will make a handler just to start the custom events
umbral zealot
syntax in javascript needs both opening and closing.

Before you make a Discord Bot, you should have a good understanding of JavaScript. This means you should have a basic understanding of the following topics:
- proper syntax
- debuging code
- basic features (vars, arrays, objects, functions)
- read and understand docs
- nodejs module system
As much as we d like to assist everyone with making their bots, we rarely have the time and/or patience to handhold beginners through learning javascript. We highly recommend understanding the basics before trying to make bots, which use advanced programming concepts.
Here are good resources to learn both Javascript and NodeJS:
Javascriptinfo: https://javascript.info/
Codecademy: https://www.codecademy.com/learn/javascript
FreeCodeCamp: https://www.freecodecamp.org/
Udemy: https://www.udemy.com/javascript-essentials/
Eloquent JavaScript, free book: http://eloquentjavascript.net/
You-Dont-Know-JS: https://github.com/getify/You-Dont-Know-JS
NodeSchool: https://nodeschool.io/
CodeSchool: https://www.codeschool.com/courses/real-time-web-with-node-js
Evie s Accelerated JS: https://js.evie.dev/
Please take a couple of weeks/months to get acquainted with the language before trying to make bots!

you are coding blindly without understanding what your code does, so it will be very hard for you to try to fix errors like that
thats why im suggesting you to go slowly
earnest phoenix
Yea, I’m just watching YouTube tutorials for codes @quartz kindle
crimson vapor
the issue is that everyone codes differently
earnest phoenix
But none of them seem to work
quartz kindle
because code is not copy-pastable
crimson vapor
so things from other people won't work
quartz kindle
code is like a puzzle
earnest phoenix
How do I make my own coding?
quartz kindle
for a piece of code to work, all other pieces need to fit
earnest phoenix
I’m very new to coding that’s why I might be a bit yea....
quartz kindle
if you copy paste code from the internet it will likely never work, because it was made to fit with other pieces you dont have
thats why you have to learn to understand what the code is actually doing, once you know, you can easily change the code to fit yours
earnest phoenix
But I don’t really know how he pieces work

placid iron
how can i get flask to send/update a variable on html with js without reloading ...
on the website you are going to have a form i assume with a submit button and a text input for the vanity url. when the submit button is clicked you can run a js function, that function will send a get reqeuest (or any type you want) to your server. something like domain/check_vanity_url?url=:user_input and your server will then check if it is available. if it is then the server will respond with a status code of 200 or 503 (unavailable) this will be in the response from the fetch function in the website. the website can then check the status and change a dom element to indicate that
drifting wedge
mhm, how would it send the request? like it would redirect the user there? then it redirects the user back?

alr ig
placid iron
- How do you think flask can even get the input.
placid iron
Not really
drifting wedge
alr
well i got it working, it gets the input with no js
but like should it go to a js func, js func do fetch on url to get a response
placid iron
Query strings from the form ig
drifting wedge
and then depending on response, do it
placid iron
If it works why change it
drifting wedge
well cuz i need to show a thing or another thing depending on validation
like if its valid i want it to say: worked for example
placid iron
Yeah you got to write js for that
drifting wedge
and if not: say: didnt work
mhm
so id get all the awnsers from the form, and send it with js with a fetch from the "mini api"
and the output is what it shows?
cant i keep doing the way i do, but then adding something for js>
placid iron
Idk how you are doing it but do what you just told me
placid iron
Yeah basically what you have to realise is that the website is basically independent to the server once you sent the other and you communicate data through web requests (a mini API as you call it)

gilded olive
Which member is that?
terse finch
a banned member from our server
gilded olive
and you want too?
gilded olive
Log their information?
terse finch
yeah, ID, Username, Reason, Server, Moderator, Date
gilded olive
That may not be possible using discord.Member
you'd have to store that info in a database
terse finch
in 2 large servers that often share a userbase, so making a bot that has cross server ban logs essentially
well im storing the info i just need to get the info after they are banned
gilded olive
🤔
terse finch
its not the most important of shit atm but it be very useful to figure out

Well that's interesting
terse finch
like circle has a !ban ID reason command. mine piggybacks off it and takes the info and stores it and then pings the other servers if that user joins (as a sort of watch out for this guy)
earnest phoenix
a library is a library
delicate shore
Yes
lucid owl
i have made a music bot but... need that guild_create command
terse finch
and cry is not being helpful
earnest phoenix
you're annoying
delicate shore
i have made a music bot but... need that guild_create command
Command or event
lucid owl
event
earnest phoenix
Yes
the word is native to its meaning, doesn't have anything special in programming
it's quite literally a library
delicate shore
delicate shore
Lol
gilded olive
What you could do uh shin is store the persons id
And you could check if member.id == that user who's in the database
terse finch
Trying to fetch a user that is banned
again it pulls the information THE FIRST TIME correctly no problem. but if for some reason there was an issue (ie banned user but no reason and wanted a retcon) then it fails where others have succeded IE circle bot
terse finch
What you could do uh shin is store the persons id
and at this point i might just have a command to retcon an entry in the db.
earnest phoenix
it does not exist
terse finch
the member is no longee in the guild
and your a fucking inbred. fuck off
earnest phoenix
other bots can get the username because they make a REST request to get the user on a global scale, not guild-bound
what do you not understand about if user go ban, user no longer in guild
terse finch
And you could check if member.id == that user who's in the database
thats where im thinking of going have a separate command to retcon data entries since the mods cant @ the user anymore so an ID is gonna have to be used anyways
lucid owl
how do i make a command which triggers when a bot is invited to a server
terse finch
what do you not understand about if user go ban, user no longer in guild
thats not the question at hand. maybe if you could read youd have more insightful messages
umbral zealot
how do i make a command which triggers when a bot is invited to a server
have you tried reading #development message
umbral zealot
But you decided to ignore it I guess. ok.
You didn't understand "please take the time to learn the language you're using"?
gilded olive
Yea thats what you might have to do, find if the ID the user is trying to get is in the database
old cliff
whats a library?
I library is like a wrapper class to some functions and methods.
lucid owl

earnest phoenix

you're quite literally complaining about a member not found error
terse finch
can someone give me the code
no
umbral zealot
can someone give me the code
We don't spoonfeed here, so no.
lucid owl
ok
umbral zealot
WE're not going to do your job for you as a bot developer.
Learn JavaScript first then make a bot.
earnest phoenix
all you have to do is take an id as a parameter and from there you can do whatever you want
old cliff
What code do you want ? we can guide you
terse finch
you're quite literally complaining about a member not found error

You can't grab a member not in a guild. Members are linked to guilds. You're looking for a user.
Just getting the terms straight, here.

if it works for our couple servers it would massively help since we get alot of knob heads that like to cause wonton chaos
earnest phoenix
might be too complex to understand
umbral zealot
WONTON CHAOS omg
old cliff
btw cry how did you grab a partial user without it being in the guild the other day ?
terse finch
You can't grab a **member** not in a guild. Members are linked to guilds. You're...
yeah member isnt the right term i need a user. you are correct. just using member since they were originally memberts
gilded olive
Hold up ill do that rn shin
umbral zealot
I Cannot abide by wonton chaos. Wonton must be presented in a precise, defined manner.
I'm sorry, I'm feeling a little facetious 😂
earnest phoenix
terse finch
its a fun side project none the less and could actually be useful
gilded olive
I believe discord.py provides you with the discord.User object but.....I've never played around with it so if errors arise 
terse finch

im glad you like my wonton chaos
ive been using discord.Member cause you suggested it
odd stratus
How can I figure out which file is causing this? Can't seem to figure it out
umbral zealot
unless you're not using discord.py
sudden geyser
How can I figure out which file is causing this? Can't seem to figure it out
I doubt you'll find anything useful in the stacktrace.
See if the stacktrace does point to a file in your project and not your node_modules folder
or go looking through your files to see if you make some api call for doing something with an emoji
odd stratus
sudden geyser
so nothing useful
gilded olive
https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html?highlight=fetch%20user#disco...
Not what he wants here
odd stratus
Shows its from node_modules
umbral zealot
Not what he wants here
Then what does he want, he's talking about users no longer in a server?
odd stratus
That error happens if it tries reacting to a message with an emoji it doesn't have access to right?
umbral zealot
What the heck else would that be?
terse finch
unless you're *not* using discord.py
what you linked is not helpful in this situation. already read the docs. already using it. its the object arg being passed in thats the issue.
earnest phoenix
take an id as your parameter
umbral zealot
Ok and what, specifically, is missing from that user object?
gilded olive
that would error out
umbral zealot
I thought ctx.author was actually a member?
but you can't do that because the user isn't a member anymore
sounds like you got a Catch 22 going on.
gilded olive
Do this:
@bot.command()
async def foo(ctx, user: int) -> None:
x = await bot.fetch_user(int(user))```Mobile so indenting is fucked
terse finch
Ok and what, specifically, is missing from that user object?
issue is most likely the arg is being passed in as a discord.Member object. and that appears to only apply to (as you guessed) members. rewritting it to try with discord.User object instead
terse finch
sounds like you got a Catch 22 going on.
exactlyt
umbral zealot
I dunno it sounds like you may want to allow the use of passing an ID directly within a message.
¯_(ツ)_/¯
terse finch
yeah but to appease the overloads of the servers they want Mentions as well added in
gilded olive
🤔
umbral zealot
Well, then, do some conditional checks
terse finch
i originally had it as an ID int only
umbral zealot
if conditions are a thing in python, right?
terse finch
yeah
gilded olive
yea
umbral zealot
So, check if there's a mention and if the ID exists. If it does, fetch with that ID. If not, well, tell 'em you can't get that user?
terse finch
but discord.Member handles both ID, and Mentions as well as some other edge cases
thick wind
Hey does anybody know if you can put a function across all cogs? discord.py btw
umbral zealot
edge cases is why we have conditions in programming.
earnest phoenix
they wouldnt be able to mention them regardless, no? the member gets dropped from cache when banned, so no @ menu
terse finch
so utilizing that helps immensly

correct
gilded olive
Hey does anybody know if you can put a function across all cogs? discord.py btw
More context
terse finch
which is why i think im gonna pass by id in a retcon command just to save myself the headache
gilded olive
Do this:

@bot.command()
async def foo(ctx, user: int) -> None:
x = a...
@terse finch try this
thick wind
Ok so i have a function called sendMessage, which sends an embed. Is there anyway i can define it in my main bot.py and have it across all my cogs?
gilded olive
oh
terse finch
<@109314596484939776> try this
it works how i expect it to
thick wind
ik you can with variables
terse finch
and thats what im gonna be doing
gilded olive
from .file import sendMessage
gilded olive
gilded olive
and thats what im gonna be doing
yea that should work, how are you storing info in the DB tho?
I always use the uuid module for cases
And generate them
So You can view full details with them
thick wind
from .file import sendMessage
ok so .file, would that be .Bot.py?
terse finch
right now its a csv file lmao but im setting up sqlite to store the infor
gilded olive
Say for example digital_tech
We had something like
- Folder
- root
- main.py
- utils folder
- messages.py (utils/messages.py)
- sendMessage function```
In `main.py` now, we can do
```py
from utils.messages import sendMessage```ok
terse finch
I always use the uuid module for cases
whats the uuid module?
earnest phoenix
you could just have an incremental primary key when you migrate to sqlite, it's going to serve as an id
terse finch
It's basically an easy way to generate long random ids
oh no we got a bunch of volunteers from our servers that are getting banned on the daily testing it (it doesnt actually ban so i can ban them as much as i want)
gilded olive
you could just have an incremental primary key when you migrate to sqlite, it's ...
That's how most bots do it yea
terse finch
thats the plan for noww
gilded olive
Old pic but under ID thats how it looks
pale vessel
Incrementing number sounds easier to type tbf
terse finch
yeah thats kinda what ares is gonna do.
gilded olive
Yea might switch to that
terse finch
i figured since all User ID's are unique those would be the primary key in sqlite
gilded olive
But my ORM has a UUID field so I was just like fuck it why not
pale vessel
Can't a same user have multiple cases?
thick wind
We had something like
```
- Folder
- root
- main.py
- utils folder
...
Ok so i have my code in a folder right? Then in that folder i have a folder named cogs, with the function. Would i do from cogs.sendMessage import sendMessage?
pale vessel
unless it's not a modlog thing, just something else
gilded olive
from cogs.your_file import sendMessage
terse finch
yeah we just append to the data field for the keu
terse finch
Can't a same user have multiple cases?
^^
sudden geyser
Incremental numbers for case IDs is also easier for the user to type (especially on mobile)
but they're predictable
terse finch
we arent tracking cases tho
pale vessel
Mobile moderation 💪
thick wind
from cogs.your_file import sendMessage
ok, you said i can do this in my main.py, can i do this in the another cog?
gilded olive
yes
sudden geyser
then UUIDs are probably fine for your case
terse finch
we are just tracking if a user gets banned and what reason for that ban
gilded olive
tho if its a function thats gonna be used every where, i would put it inside of like a utils folder
gilded olive
Mobile moderation 💪
🤢
thick wind
tho if its a function thats gonna be used every where, i would put it inside of ...
Ok for this, can i just name the folder untils or should i alr have one?
Im sorry if im being dumb, im new to cogs and im trying to organize things
gilded olive
We had something like
```
- Folder
- root
- main.py
- utils folder
...
you can see the structure of this
thick wind
yea
terse finch
cogs is great once you get past the intial learning hump
thick wind
yeah i bet
once i learn how to do this i should be set i think...
i have to go sadly, ill see about getting help tomorrow

anyone knows why when i try this it says 4 users?

can I make a Map readonly?? for ts
delicate shore
nvm
s!eval client.guilds.cache.filter(guild => guild.memberCount > 10000).map(guild => guild.id)
this worked
sacred trout
what is this
rocky hearth
```js
client.guilds.cache.filter(guild => guild.memberCount > 10000).map(guild =...
remove the braces, around guild.name, to get the names
delicate shore
kk but
rocky hearth
bcoz it is not mandatory that the owner will be present in the cache.
rocky hearth
<Guild>.members.fetch("owner_id")
delicate shore
ok thanks
rocky hearth
the fetch method first checks the cache, and if it is not there, than it will actually fetch it.
So u r always safe there
pale vessel
await it
delicate shore
oh ok
or use .then
But
I have owner ID
can't i directly fetch user
client.users.fetch('ID');
like this
rocky hearth
const guild = client.guilds.cache.get('712666566939902033');
