[slate swan]

Why does my bot answer 2 times

[brazen raft]

I think embeds' description is a required argument

Which you don't pass to the constructor

[brazen raft]

You might have two terminals running your bot file or something like that

[slate swan]

aaaa yeah

[slate swan]

tysm

how to get animated emoji id?

[zealous jay]

I don't have it rn but its long af

The rate limit one

[mighty pilot]

Do cogs need to be formatted as a class to work as intended?

I avoided this by putting this in my on_message

That'll prevent it from logging any bot messages to begin with

[north escarp]

@slate swan And how did you make a message counter ??

[shrewd apex]

u can use guild.emojis iterating through them or u could just right click in discord on google open image in new tab

dpy has an is animated check for emojis

[mighty pilot]

Did you add the command to your bot tree?

[north escarp]

how can I make it so that the profile displays how many messages you wrote during the time the bot is on the server ?

I know what needs to be used there before and after

[honest shoal]

Store messages using on_message event and update the activity using tasks.loop

[mighty pilot]

Just use return. It shouldn't continue any of the on_message if the message comes from a bot

[slate swan]

can someone help me

[hushed galleon]

apparently you have a previous command that already used the name "commands"

[slate swan]

nah i dont, when i remove the "rules" part everything works fine

when i remove this

[sick birch]

I remember we were having an issue with this yesterday

You did have a commands command unless you removed it

[slate swan]

nah that was a problem with bot permissions or smt like that but i fixed it

[slate swan]

ifixed it using async def _commands(ctx):

yk how i can fix it? @sick birch

[slate swan]

yo anyone wanna help me?

my bot doesnt respond when i do a command like "!version"

[cloud dawn]

Provide more info.

[slate swan]

like

when it should respond to !version and send an embed it doesnt

i think i need to add awat smt

await

[cloud dawn]

!paste Could you paste your code here?

[unkempt canyon]

Pasting large amounts of code

If your code is too long to fit in a codeblock in Discord, you can paste your code here:
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/

After pasting your code, save it by clicking the floppy disk icon in the top right, or by typing ctrl + S. After doing that, the URL should change. Copy the URL and post it here so others can see it.

[main junco]

Hello !

I'm a Raspberry Pi 4 user and I want to create a bot with Python with the help of this video :

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i7aYBB3znMI

My first code is that ( it's a simple code because I'm a beginer ) :

import discord
from discord.ext import commands

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='>')

@bot.command()
async def ping(ctx):
await ctx.send('pong')

bot.run('<MYTOLKEN>')

Thene, when I realized it don't work I try that :

import discord
from discord.ext import commands

intents = discord.Intents.default()
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='>', intents=intents)

@bot.command()
async def ping(ctx):
await ctx.send('pong')

bot.run('<MYTOLKEN>')

And in the console it's tell me that :

WARNING discord.ext.commands.bot Privileged message content intent is missing, commands may not work as expected.
INFO discord.client logging in using static token
INFO discord.gateway Shard ID None has connected to Gateway.

Sorry for my bad english.
So if you can help me, thank you !

[cloud dawn]

Guys please...

[slate swan]

wdym

[cloud dawn]

!code

[unkempt canyon]

Here's how to format Python code on Discord:

```py
print('Hello world!')
```

These are backticks, not quotes. Check this out if you can't find the backtick key.

[slate swan]

ok

[cloud dawn]

It's in the if, it shouldn't be.

[zealous jay]

You don't need == True

[cloud dawn]

It's better to use a listener anyways.

[cloud dawn]

True

I mean

[slate swan]

can yo ulike change the code pls bc idk what you mean

[zealous jay]

If already checks if its True

[cloud dawn]

Put that code on the same line as the if's.

!indention

[unkempt canyon]

Indentation

Indentation is leading whitespace (spaces and tabs) at the beginning of a line of code. In the case of Python, they are used to determine the grouping of statements.

Spaces should be preferred over tabs. To be clear, this is in reference to the character itself, not the keys on a keyboard. Your editor/IDE should be configured to insert spaces when the TAB key is pressed. The amount of spaces should be a multiple of 4, except optionally in the case of continuation lines.

Example

def foo():
    bar = 'baz'  # indented one level
    if bar == 'baz':
        print('ham')  # indented two levels
    return bar  # indented one level

The first line is not indented. The next two lines are indented to be inside of the function definition. They will only run when the function is called. The fourth line is indented to be inside the if statement, and will only run if the if statement evaluates to True. The fifth and last line is like the 2nd and 3rd and will always run when the function is called. It effectively closes the if statement above as no more lines can be inside the if statement below that line.

Indentation is used after:
1. Compound statements (eg. if, while, for, try, with, def, class, and their counterparts)
2. Continuation lines

More Info
1. Indentation style guide
2. Tabs or Spaces?
3. Official docs on indentation

[slate swan]

bruh which code

man i will go crazt

[cloud dawn]

await bot.process_commands(message)

Still the same code.

[slate swan]

i should remove that

right?

[cloud dawn]

No you need to unindent that piece of code.

[zealous jay]

remove one tab

[slate swan]

what does unundent

[wary shadow]

bot.run('<MYTOLKEN>')
And my Axe!

((couldn't help myself))

[zealous jay]

in that line

[slate swan]

unindent

[slate swan]

i did it

[cloud dawn]

Okay now you're good.

[mighty pilot]

Just makes it easier in my head to include the ==True there's plenty of ways to do it I was just sharing how I did it

[slate swan]

ohhhh ok

[zealous jay]

oh ok, just saying

[cloud dawn]

You need some intents for this

[slate swan]

still doesnt work

[cloud dawn]

!intents

[unkempt canyon]

Using intents in discord.py

Intents are a feature of Discord that tells the gateway exactly which events to send your bot. By default discord.py has all intents enabled except for Members, Message Content, and Presences. These are needed for features such as on_member events, to get access to message content, and to get members' statuses.

To enable one of these intents, you need to first go to the Discord developer portal, then to the bot page of your bot's application. Scroll down to the Privileged Gateway Intents section, then enable the intents that you need.

Next, in your bot you need to set the intents you want to connect with in the bot's constructor using the intents keyword argument, like this:

from discord import Intents
from discord.ext import commands

intents = Intents.default()
intents.members = True

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="!", intents=intents)

For more info about using intents, see the discord.py docs on intents, and for general information about them, see the Discord developer documentation on intents.

[slate swan]

liek when i do !version

it doesnt send the embed

[cloud dawn]

Provide more info, crash etc current code etc we're blind.

tb or if it even reaches ready event.

[slate swan]

like theres no error or anything

[cloud dawn]

Show your on_message please.

[slate swan]

its just not sending my embed when i do "!version"

[zealous jay]

btw make the on_message a listener instead of an event because you overwrite the original event, that's why you need to add the process thing

[slate swan]

ok i did get errors

[cloud dawn]

I know you've told us that like 4 times, this isn't relevant information.

[slate swan]

ok sorry xd

[cloud dawn]

Could you paste that here using Discord code format?

For your !version command

[slate swan]

ye

ok ty

[round lily]

Hello everyone im new to python and i wanted to learn to make a bot

this is my error

any help greatly appreciated

[cloud dawn]

.event no () needed. @round lily

[slate swan]

wont still work

[slate swan]

do you know

why it doesnt work

[mighty pilot]

What's the new error message

[honest shoal]

Show xode

[slate swan]

there is none

[mighty pilot]

Their code is here

[slate swan]

like theres is not any error

[round lily]

new error is too big to SS do you want the code

[slate swan]

remove the ()

[mighty pilot]

If there's no error message in your command prompt then it's doing what you told it to do

[slate swan]

when i say !version it should send an embeded text but it doesnt do it

[round lily]

: pain

[slate swan]

did you enabel the privilage in your application?

[mighty pilot]

Did you restart the bot after changing it? Does the bot have permission to read and write in that channel?

[honest shoal]

It's just context.send()

[slate swan]

which line

[honest shoal]

The line where u have message.channel.send

[slate swan]

yea bc when i say "Thank you for telling me!" it respondes with No problem 🙂 and an embeded text

[slate swan]

ok

still doesnt work

[honest shoal]

Line 22

[round lily]

like give it admin permission?

if so no

[slate swan]

cant you like just copy the code and fix it bc i think that is easier

[slate swan]

it has admin when i first invited it

[honest shoal]

Can u post ur version command code

Copy pasting on mobile is hard

oh so im just assed out

[slate swan]

oh

[slate swan]

which line

[cloud dawn]

It happends on every os lol just follow the message url.

[slate swan]

line 22?

[mighty pilot]

The same line you've been editing this whole time. await context.send_message(embed=myembed)

[honest shoal]

This won't change anything
It's a prefix based cmd

[slate swan]

didnt work

[mighty pilot]

Honestly just guessing at this point. I do a lot more with slash commands and I remember running into that for some problem I had a week or two ago

[round lily]

is there a url all these just take me to lines causing errors

oh wait

[slate swan]

bruh what should i do

[cloud dawn]

I've provided an url here.

[mighty pilot]

Try just sending a regular message without an embed and see if that works

await context.send("this is a test")

[honest shoal]

Add this in your code py @bot.listen('on_command_error') async def error_handler(ctx,  error):     raise error, we can catch error with this probably

[slate swan]

ok

which line xd

[mighty pilot]

On a new line, then restart your bot and try again it should spit out an error for you

[slate swan]

oo

bruh what

i didnt get any error msgs

[honest shoal]

Use the command on Discord

[slate swan]

kk

i still dont get it

You didn't add error handler?

[slate swan]

i did but removed it

[pastel basin]

i cant put custom emoji in embed title

is it possible to do that?

i thought that its not possible to put in embed titles..

[lost yoke]

discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandNotFound: Command "marcar" is not found```

[honest shoal]

It's not

[lost yoke]

whats wrong?

[pastel basin]

😦

[honest shoal]

Just Command not found

[round lily]

thanks for your help so far i promise im trying to figure this out i clicked all the permissions in dev portal but this

[lost yoke]

how do you solve?

[round lily]

do i need to do something with the permission integer

[honest shoal]

Make a command named marcar

[slate swan]

@mighty pilot you done?

[mighty pilot]

Still messing with it. I'll ping if I figure it out

[slate swan]

ok

ty

[lost yoke]

ok

[slate swan]

i may not respond asap

[blazing star]

can anyone pls help

[honest shoal]

!code

[unkempt canyon]

Here's how to format Python code on Discord:

```py
print('Hello world!')
```

These are backticks, not quotes. Check this out if you can't find the backtick key.

[blazing star]

async def stream(ctx, *, message):
    await ctx.message.delete()
    stream = discord.Streaming(
        name=message,

correct?

[blazing star]

yes

[honest shoal]

Decorators begins with @

[blazing star]

@honest shoal can u pls help

[cloud dawn]

When you invited the bot did you specify that you were going to use slash commands?

[honest shoal]

That's now how u change presence

[blazing star]

wait what, how do i change it

[cloud dawn]

@round lily

[honest shoal]

Wait a min, are u getting any error@blazing star

[blazing star]

no

[pastel basin]

how can i add two images in the same embed?

[sick birch]

2 per 10 minutes i believe

[round lily]

just went back and did it

kicked and added the bot again but same error

[blazing star]

@honest shoal can u pls help me fixing it

[cloud dawn]

So 20 times per 10 minutes if you were to host 10 bots on a seperate ip.

[honest shoal]

stream=discord.ActivityType.Streaming, name=message, url=""
&
activity=discord.Activity(type=stream)

[sick birch]

sure if you want to think of it that way

that's still about 1 edit per 30 seconds on aveage

[round lily]

error says to try"disabling privileged intents"

[honest shoal]

Tbh, you are doing it in a weird way

Hold on

[blazing star]

its like when i say .streaming the both streams waht i said yk?

[mighty pilot]

With discords move to slash commands did they stop bot commands entirely?

[round lily]

why is this so hard the guys on yt make it look so easy

[sick birch]

because it's really not that easy

the tutorials on youtube are usually wrong

[blazing star]

@honest shoal

[cloud dawn]

That's a quite generous way of putting it.

[sick birch]

... horrifically garbage?

[pastel basin]

how can i add two images in the same embed?

[round lily]

bot youre already an admin how many more privileges do you want from me

[sick birch]

who?

the bot?

or you

[round lily]

my bot

[sick birch]

just enable the intents it's asking

it's in the dev portal

it should be under the "bot" section

[honest shoal]

am on my pc now, hold on

@blazing star this will work for youpy await bot.change_presence(activity=discord.Activity(type=discord.ActivityType.streaming, name=message, url=""))

[honest shoal]

you can't

[cloud dawn]

Pagination is as close as it gets.

[slate swan]

.

[cloud dawn]

We don't help with that, sorry.

[slate swan]

its for ids

so when my bot joins a server it will message mods the invite

for certain ids in a list

[glad cradle]

having a list of member object you could use discord.Member.send

!d discord.Member.send

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.send

await send(content=None, *, tts=False, embed=None, embeds=None, file=None, files=None, stickers=None, delete_after=None, nonce=None, allowed_mentions=None, reference=None, ...)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Sends a message to the destination with the content given.

The content must be a type that can convert to a string through `str(content)`. If the content is set to `None` (the default), then the `embed` parameter must be provided.

To upload a single file, the `file` parameter should be used with a single [`File`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.File "discord.File") object. To upload multiple files, the `files` parameter should be used with a [`list`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#list "(in Python v3.10)") of [`File`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.File "discord.File") objects. **Specifying both parameters will lead to an exception**.

To upload a single embed, the `embed` parameter should be used with a single [`Embed`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Embed "discord.Embed") object. To upload multiple embeds, the `embeds` parameter should be used with a [`list`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#list "(in Python v3.10)") of [`Embed`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Embed "discord.Embed") objects. **Specifying both parameters will lead to an exception**.

[mighty pilot]

Honestly I think your best bet is going to be to move that command under the on_message block

[slate swan]

wdym by that can you like send the code

[mighty pilot]

Hold on I found something let me try it

[slate swan]

actually u can

[honest shoal]

@slate swanchange your @bot.events to @bot.listen() (and remove that bot.process thing obv)

[honest shoal]

wait how?

[slate swan]

one second. ill show

[honest shoal]

isn't that only for twitter embeds

[slate swan]

nah someones got an example

[honest shoal]

show pls

[slate swan]

ok

@honest shoal

[honest shoal]

OH

that's a nice hack I believe

[round lily]

@sick birch ok so its at least online now but i assume this is abnormal

[sick birch]

is it enabled in your code?

[mighty pilot]

since your command overrides your on_message event you need to tell it to check for commands first. so in the on_message event you need to add await bot.process_commands(message) in the first line under async def on_message(message)

[slate swan]

where do i put those

xd

[sick birch]

yup

[mighty pilot]

one second ill fix your code and send it here

[slate swan]

AYYYYYYYYYY

letsssss goooooooo it is fixed now

yes pls

try that

[slate swan]

does commands.Bot() not do this already tho???

[mighty pilot]

i guess not? i just did a bit of testing with my bot and unless i specified that line in on_message it wouldnt register that i was using a command

[slate swan]

this didnt work

[slate swan]

bu ti have fixed it

[round lily]

commands still wont work

this is frustrating

what was your fix

that was ur error

[naive briar]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/faq.html#why-does-on-message-make-my-commands-stop-working

Overriding the default provided on_message forbids any extra commands from running. To fix this, add a bot.process_commands(message) line at the end of your on_message

[slate swan]

idk i just added ur thing

and it worked

BRUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[mighty pilot]

noted, just been trying to figure this out for a while now so i thought itd be easier to just copy paste as opposed to trying to explain

[slate swan]

now it doesnt send the respond to thank you for telling me or what day is it and when i turn the bot online it doesnt just automaticly say hello

like it should

[mighty pilot]

where did you put it

[slate swan]

under async def on_message(message):

[mighty pilot]

move it below your if statements

[slate swan]

makes sense

[slate swan]

what line

again xd

[mighty pilot]

theres 2 if statements in your on_message, put it below them

if message.content==

[slate swan]

so under that

[mighty pilot]

Below both of those blocks, so it executes the if statements before looking for commands

[slate swan]

can you take an ss

[mighty pilot]

if i take a screenshot itd be of my code and it would be very out of context for you, im not on computer anymore

[slate swan]

ok of the code you edited or sended

i am dizzy what do i put under what

[mighty pilot]

Put it on line 53 instead of 37

[slate swan]

ok

should i remove this then await message.channel.send(embed=myembed)

[mighty pilot]

Below that

[slate swan]

ok

didnt work

i dont see hello from myu bot

[mighty pilot]

Read this link

[slate swan]

me?

[round lily]

my commands should be here correct

[mighty pilot]

Yes

[slate swan]

kk

[round lily]

is there anything wrong here im not getting errors but i cant interact w/ bot

[honest shoal]

Which library

[round lily]

nextcord

[honest shoal]

Can't help with that

[round lily]

whats something you can do because clearly this isnt working for me

[honest shoal]

Is command not getting registered?

[round lily]

its not

all i get is the print message in my ide

not even in the server 10/10

[honest shoal]

I hope you have enabled application.commands scope while inviting the bot

[round lily]

i did im trying so hard

this so much more complicated than java

brain literally not big enough

[honest shoal]

It's not if you understand

I have no idea how u register in nextcord

discord.gg/nextcord

[honest shoal]

Try asking here, if u need help quick

[round lily]

thx

[mighty pilot]

i have a button menu that pops up for members to select a role after sending so many messages, is there a way to check for interaction.user to be the same user that sent the message which triggered the view?

nvm i have something to try first

[vocal plover]

good library

[glad cradle]

disnake >>

[vocal plover]

agree

but since I'm quite close with nextcord I have to like it

[glad cradle]

understandable

[vocal plover]

that said, disnake's soon-to-be new docs are

api reference has been broken into smaller parts that dont take 15 seconds to load in browser

[mighty pilot]

ok so i have the original interaction already specified in __init__ for my view, can i pass that to the buttons inside the view?

[slate swan]

hi

[round lily]

i figured out my issue and it pissed me off immensely

[slate swan]

so i will remove the things ok

tysm for the help i will try to start from the beginning

[round lily]

apparently i have to also enable bot permission in my server settings even if i already did it in dev portal

:annoyed

[mighty pilot]

yea thats an important step and why i asked if your bot had permissions in your server

[round lily]

it had me give permissions in the dev portal i though it carried over if it doesnt why even put that step there

[primal token]

Are they using mkdocs?

[mighty pilot]

role permissions are important too

[round lily]

whatever it works so thanks for the help 10/10 people all of you

[mighty pilot]

also i wasnt reading names and thought you were splunk when i sent this lol my b

[trim ginkgo]

banana

[vocal plover]

sphinx

[slate swan]

yo anyone here i need help

^^^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

what did i do wrong here?

@mighty pilot

do you know?

[mighty pilot]

Nope

anyone familiar with interaction_check inside views for buttons?

[glad cradle]

this should work fine, send your code, error messages may be inaccurate sometimes

[kind trellis]

Anyone have any idea why my bot won't ping roles even though it has the perm to do so?

[vocal snow]

It's mentioning them but not pinging? Is it in an embed?

[slate swan]

make sure the role is mentionable as well as what zeffo said

how can i create a channel with a 'everyone read_messages' false ? and another role has a 'read_messages' true

[mighty pilot]

You do that in discord channel settings. You can set channel read messages for everyone to false and for a role to true

[kind trellis]

No, an actual message

[kind trellis]

The bot can mention all roles

I should mention that it is a slash command

[slate swan]

can u show the code?

@kind trellis

[kind trellis]

        else:

            pass
        pass

@slate swan

[vocal snow]

there's no &

oh wait a role mention

does it not render the mention?

[kind trellis]

Nope, only displays the role

[slate swan]

only thing that would be causing it not to mention is permissions

[kind trellis]

Perms are fine

It has admin and mention all roles

I checked myself

[austere vale]

Sometimes when I start up my bot, I get this error, and Im not sure what is causing it. It doesn't happen every time I start my bot. I think it happens when my bot is in the middle of starting up and someone sends a message in the server? Im not sure.

id recommend connecting to your db in setup_hook instead of on_ready

[kind trellis]

@vocal snow @slate swan

[vocal snow]

is the role mentionable though

[kind trellis]

Yes

[vocal snow]

that toggle is on?

[slate swan]

this dont matter. bot has admin

[slate swan]

use await Bot.wait_until_ready() before loading that cog

[mighty pilot]

can someone help me with a problem in my view for a button menu? i have interaction_check working properly, but i want to send a message when it returns False but cant figure it out. theres no errors happening so i cant use on_error

[austere vale]

can you show me how to use setup_hook? ive never done that before

also what is the difference between using on_ready and setup_hook?

[sick birch]

setuphook is only called once while on ready is not

[grand willow]

Can someone exlain how I can use the class discord.AllowedMentions on a message for it not to ping @ everyone if it has the perms to do it. I have no clue how I would should use it

[austere vale]

can someone show me how to pull up SQLite so i can view my database tables? ive seen videos where its supposed to be on this tab but i dont know how to get it there

[primal token]

You can use:

https://sqlitebrowser.org/

[austere vale]

is there no built-in version for VSC?

[primal token]

Not sure, maybe look for an extension

[dull terrace]

QQ: can you edit an ephemeral message, does it have to be a response?

[minor totem]

Do you have admin in the server? Are you sure you can see the channel?

[slate swan]

guys

my slash commands are not showing up and i have no errors in my code

[sick birch]

did you sync?

[slate swan]

I already detected the error

missing a @ before the commands.slash_command

[royal wind]

I have a question. Watching tutorial on YT, it's so often to see people use ctx. They call it context. But what does that actually mean? Does that mean the same thing as self?

[hushed galleon]

ctx refers to the commands.Context object that is typically passed around in commands, checks, converters, etc.

[royal wind]

Yeah, I've read the docs. It pretty much says that, but conceptually, I don't really get it

That definition feels too high class for me to understand. Do you think you can give me something like an analogy?

[hushed galleon]

its separate from self because self is often the instance of the class that methods are defined within, although the purpose is similar

the actual word context means information that is needed to fully understand something

so in this case, that Context object provides you various attributes like the message that triggered the command (.message), the Command object that was invoked (.command), the specific name used to invoke that command (.invoked_with), etc.

[royal wind]

ctx.message returns the message object?

[hushed galleon]

yes

its information related to who used the command and how they used it

[royal wind]

So I can do ctx.message.author

or something else

[hushed galleon]

yes, if you wanted to

[royal wind]

Now, I see ctx.send() and the function is self explanatory. But I just don't understand why do we need to have this when we have await send blablabl

Because I know sometimes we use the latter

[hushed galleon]

several of the context's properties/methods are just shortcuts for common things developers use

why write ctx.send() when you can write message.channel.send()? because its more convenient

[royal wind]

If they're just shortcuts, there should be absolutely zero frowns if one wants to use the longer one for, say, consistency?

[hushed galleon]

the two methods work equivalently but you might get frowned upon for not taking advantage of the "simpler" method

[royal wind]

I see

So in conclusion, just to make sure I understand this properly:

ctx basically says SOMETHING that triggers this command (only a method decorated by @client.command() will have ctx). ctx.author means return the author (<name>#<identifier>) of the user that just invoked this command. ctx.message means return the message object that was sent by a user that caused this command to be invoked.

That being said, not all methods available are for checking what triggered this command. For example, ctx.send() is a method that serves as a shortcut to do quick reply back.

[hushed galleon]

you could think of the context as being provided in the event that someone uses a command

an on_message event is triggered when someone sends a message and you're given a Message object with information about that message

and in the event someone invokes a command, you're given a Context object with information about the invocation of that command

[pallid vigil]

Hello everything is fine? can anyone help me on how to handle an api via python to send the response via webhook?

[wary crystal]

You also have two kinds of context with discord.py. Valid & In-valid context, in the case of context being given via command invocation you have a valid context object since it has a command, args, etc to it's name. Whilst you can still get a context object from using a message object alone (await Bot.get_context(message)) It won't always be valid, e.g no command to it's name, no args, etc.

[zealous jay]

Using non async code could make my bot get ratelimited?

Message: 'Shard ID %s heartbeat blocked for more than %s seconds

Found this on the traceback

[hushed galleon]

that doesnt mean being ratelimited, but that your bot was prevented from sending a heartbeat to discord to keep its websocket connection alive

but non async (or more accurately, blocking) code would cause that to occur

[hushed galleon]

technically argument parsing would come later, get_context only gathers the prefix and command to determine the "validity" of the context

[zealous jay]

forgot to send but there's also a ton of messages telling me that im getting ratelimited

[2022-10-21 08:13:37] [INFO    ] discord.gateway: Shard ID None has connected to Gateway (Session ID: 82f5d315e4cdf95e9424f225e719837c).

[untold iron]

anytime i run my python code, i get a error saying

Any idea what causes this? Is it the roles i have assigned not allowing the script to perform its task

[zealous jay]

In your bot's class

Instead of using discord.Client use commands.Bot

[wispy spade]

Error mentions why, seems to be a warning tho.

[mossy jacinth]

Hello! I want to actively check if a variable is 1 or not and then send a message in the chat but it doesnt work quite right
(I'm using replit temporarily dont worry :)! )

[zealous jay]

😄

[zealous jay]

Seems like the bot has a problem getting the channel

Is the channel ID correct?

[mossy jacinth]

yes

[wispy spade]

maybe try fetch_channel? that afaik may happen if the channel hasn't been cached (or stored) yet

[zealous jay]

yup

[wispy spade]

why it may not be cached is likely due to the fact you're running the code in a task? (although I'm not sure)

[zealous jay]

I don't know if thats related 🤔

[mossy jacinth]

made it fetch_channel now this came

[zealous jay]

Still returning None

try printing the channel

[mossy jacinth]

printed channel

[torn sail]

you need to await fetch_channel

[zealous jay]

didn't see that 🤦‍♂️

[torn sail]

you can remove the fetch_channel entirely if you wait_until_ready in the tasks before loop

@tasks.loop()
async def task():
    ...

@task.before_loop
async def wait_until_ready():
    await bot.wait_until_ready()

[mossy jacinth]

yup thanks guys

[untold iron]

Do i switch client to client = bot.commands?

[sick birch]

it's commands.Bot with a capital B

[untold iron]

Perfect ty, how can i declare a prefix though now?

[full lily]

it tells you in the terminal what the kwarg is called

and where it wants it placed

[untold iron]

Thank you, i got it working now

[maiden hatch]

Is there some kind of a example with: slash commands, tasks, commands in a pretty class?
I have tons of examples but combined it's a bit of a pain.

[lost yoke]

AttributeError: 'Bot' object has no attribute 'commmand'. Did you mean: 'command'?``` whats arrong?

[sick birch]

AttributeError: 'Bot' object has no attribute 'commmand'. Did you mean: 'command'?
Did you?

[maiden hatch]

triple m in command?

[sick birch]

Are you using discord.py?

[maiden hatch]

Yes

[sick birch]

https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/tree/master/examples/app_commands unfortunately not many

[maiden hatch]

Just need a starting point. Thx

[slate swan]

what does ur bot do ?

[untold iron]

What does an unknown interaction error indicate?

[wicked atlas]

You're probably trying to respond to the interaction too late. Make sure you're deferring before doing anything else.

whatcha doin with paypal though?

[untold iron]

Understood, thank you

Im trying to get it to read a users paypal history to give them a role based on their recent transaction

From a github repo

[swift heron]

how cogs in 2.0?

like how to add and load them

[pearl fjord]

i tried this

attachments = message.attachements
temp = []
for attachment in attachments:
    temp.append(attachment.url)
print(''.join(temp))

can someone tell me where i went wrong?

@full lily hey, would you know anything about this?

[round lily]

ok so i dont understand fundamentals of bots is there anything good to teach me what goes into making a bot

[zealous jay]

saves bans into a database

has some events

although I didn't use async for the db

idk if its related

im working on it tho

[slate swan]

this would more than likely be it. u using sqlite?

[zealous jay]

mongodb

[slate swan]

oh. yea i would say thats whats blocking the heartbeats. I had a similiar issue

[zealous jay]

is there any good tutorial for using async with mongodb?

[slate swan]

https://www.mongodb.com/docs/drivers/motor/

[zealous jay]

thanks

[slate swan]

yup

[upbeat gust]

Not sure what you mean by what goes into making a bot, but here are some resources

https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/examples/basic_bot.py basic example

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/commands.html the command framework

https://gist.github.com/AbstractUmbra/a9c188797ae194e592efe05fa129c57f slash commands

Make sure you're familiar with python before attempting to use discord.py

[hushed galleon]

perhaps they mean the actual API provided by discord, though you dont need to know too much about it before using an API wrapper

[rugged shadow]

you only have to know guilds are servers /j

[round lily]

thanks a ton

[toxic turtle]

Hi hello all, I have a question maybe it's easy but I haven't been able to figure it out.

I want bot to look for occurrences of a substring in a string then responses, so I used "substring" in "string", it worked, but I want look for more substring, so I made a list or [ ] and ( ) containing the substrings to look for , but when I look for more than 1 substring it doesn't work, when I running not come out any error idk why ?
Is it that does not work look for more than 1 or needs to use other codes?

This is what I tried

[sick birch]

So you want the message to contain any word in a list?

[upbeat gust]

Because "('A', 'B')" won't be in the message, neither will a tuple

You need to loop through your list of words and check if each is in the message

[sick birch]

For instance:

words = ["apple", "banana", "orange"]

The if statement would only work if the user's message contains one of those words?

[upbeat gust]

You can do this with a for loop,

Or a more advanced (but shorter and cleaner) list comprehension, and the any() function

[toxic turtle]

yes, I want bot look for 1more than word.

[upbeat gust]

this also feels like basic python that you should know before discord.py

[upbeat gust]

Are you just gonna ignore my answer lol

[toxic turtle]

no

[sick birch]

Then yeah:

@bot.listen()
async def on_message(message: discord.Message) -> None:
  words = ["apple", "banana", "orange"]
  if [word for word in words if word in message.content]:
    # do something...

[sick birch]

let's not be patronizing please

[sick birch]

hold on i think this is wrong

[upbeat gust]

At least be correct if you're gonna spoonfeed

[sick birch]

No spoonfeeding. Giving them a general skeletal structure, like I always do 🙂

They'll still have to take the concept and figure out how to incorporate it into their own code

[upbeat gust]

Your list comp order is wrong, bool(list) is always true if it isn't empty

[upbeat gust]

.. Yeah ok buddy

[sick birch]

Yes, that's what I'm using

The list is empty if a word in words was not found

The list can contain the words that appeared in the message.content, if they want to store that and use it for anything else

But if they're just checking if it's empty/not, a list comp without being assigned a variable will do

[upbeat gust]

actually alright that works

[sick birch]

@bot.listen()
async def on_message(message: discord.Message) -> None:
  words = ["apple", "banana", "orange"]
  present_words = [word for word in words if word in message.content]
  if present_words
    print("These words were present in your message:", ", ".join(present_words)) # or ctx.send, you get the idea

confused with print statement :p

either way i don't think this is their usecase

it's there if you need it

[upbeat gust]

that literally is spoonfeeding though- you've given the whole code that they need

How is that a 'general skeletal structure'

[sick birch]

Copy pasting it isn't going to work

[upbeat gust]

How so?

[sick birch]

More than likely they don't have typehints or a listener rather than an event

So they'd need to adapt it to their own

[toxic turtle]

If I'm just looking for string

[sick birch]

Spoonfeeding would be if I copied this: <#discord-bots message>

Fixed it for them, and they could copy and paste and move on with their day

[toxic turtle]

a list like this will work

Just put if p_message in list >> if list in p_message . it will be useless

[sick birch]

what is p_message?

[upbeat gust]

but that's exactly what you've done, with extra

They can just copy the list comp and if statement

[hushed galleon]

spoonfeeding would imply that you could just copy paste it into your code and it would work, but even the substrings are just examples that the OP wouldnt want;
if the OP were to correct the code to serve their desired purpose, that would demonstrate at least a basic understanding of how the code works

[sick birch]

Sure. That's the important bits. They'd still need to figure out where to put it, incorporate it with any other logic going on, adapt variable names to existing variable names, and of course change apple banana orange

Copy pasting this really wouldn't do what they want. The if statement body is commented out, so syntax error as well

[hushed galleon]

though for your example i would consider using any() + generator rather than a list comp, just so it finishes early when a keyword is found

[upbeat gust]

So doing 95% of it for them isn't spoonfeeding?

[sick birch]

True, we would have to create our own generator or is there something built in I'm not aware of?

[hushed galleon]

nah just a generator expression is good enough

[sick birch]

I must admit I haven't gotten around to those yet :p

[hushed galleon]

any(w in s for w in seq)

[sick birch]

didn't know that was a generator 🤔

I was under the impression it created a list and spread it using * internally

[hushed galleon]

the explicit syntax would look like any((w in s for w in seq)), with the extra parentheses turning into a genexpr object

[sick birch]

interesting

not a tuple then?

[toxic turtle]

thanks a lot suggestions I will try again m(_ _)m

[hushed galleon]

nah, for that you have to pass to the tuple constructor

[upbeat gust]

just because they have to find where to paste it, and change up placeholders doesn't mean it's not spoonfeeding

[primal token]

The whole term spoonfeeding is subjective in a sense of level of what you consider it being "spoonfeeding", i would say starting a discussion about it would be a waste of time, but be my guest

[hushed galleon]

i dont think its 95% of the work because while it shows a technique for finding one of multiple substrings, robin fabricated a basis to demonstrate the technique (listener, message variable, 3 fruits, missing block after if), which is nowhere close to the original snippet

[sick birch]

Yup. The point is to take away the important concepts, I don't even intend for them to copy and paste it. I would prefer they don't, and use it as a structure. I can't force what they do, and I don't want to make things confusing to force them either. If they want to copy and paste and fill in the placeholders - that's fine. That's their call to make. If they want to take away the concepts - that's fine too.

[upbeat gust]

and why not just give pseudocode/similar explaining how to do this?

I doubt they understand what that list comp or later suggested generator is even doing

[sick birch]

That's on them to to research or ask questions if they don't understand

It's their job to take responsibility for their own learning. We just provide the necessary resources and help

I've done what I judged is to be the best course to provide assistance, now it's up to them to take that where they will

[upbeat gust]

why not explain it and teach them instead of giving answers and leaving it up to them to figure it out

[sick birch]

I don't believe in that level of hand holding. If they're confused, I would be more than happy to explain and help out. This isn't middle school. The resources are all here - it's up to them to utilize it however they wish

[toxic turtle]

sorry Im silly, asked a stupid question like I just said it could be as easy as
I also tried googel to find what I wanted to know before asking a question here or try to read some official api and something..., but Ive been stuck here for 1~2days, maybe I should learn it all over again

[upbeat gust]

what

[prisma prism]

Can someone help with discord.py?
I just want to know what's causing this error TypeError: 'Guild' object is not iterable
py role = discord.utils.get(ctx.guild, name='Muted') await user.remove_roles(user, role)

[upbeat gust]

i think youre looking for ctx.guild.roles

ctx.guild is a Guild object

guild.roles is a list of Role objects

[upbeat gust]

also, remove_roles doesnt take user, just the roles to remove

[prisma prism]

Thank you!!

[sterile sigil]

I'm not sure why I did the instruction correctly but my bot don't online on my private server:

import discord
from discord.ext.commands.core import commands
from discord import permissions



bot = commands.Bot(commands_prefix='.')

#run bot
bot.run("")```

[torn sail]

It’s probably because from discord.ext.commands.core import commands try changing it to from discord.ext import commands

[sterile sigil]

okay mate

[sterile sigil]

did and it brought me this:

[torn sail]

Small typo, command_prefix= not commands_prefix=

[sick birch]

You have command__s___prefix instead of command_prefix

[sterile sigil]

oh okay

thanks a lot guys!!!

[torn sail]

👍

[sterile sigil]

so i have to retype from discord.ext import command too?

or i can stay commands

[torn sail]

commands

[sterile sigil]

i see

[sick birch]

Not there, I mean inside of the commands.Bot(...)

[sterile sigil]

now it says command is not defined

[torn sail]

from discord.ext import commands for the import and remember it’s command_prefix=

[sterile sigil]

oh sorry my bad read

[slate swan]

async def talker():
    get_channel_id = hariku_client.get_channel(ctx.channel_id)```

```py
ctx isnt defined```

[slate swan]

commands.Bot()

[sterile sigil]

i rerun and it showed this

[slate swan]

from discord import Intents

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix=".", help_command=None, intents=Intents.all())```

[shrewd apex]

dont put help_command=None before atleast making ur custom impl

also to be explicit its better to use discord.Intents.all() but totally up to u

[slate swan]

yeah, i do that alot tho

[sterile sigil]

the program said back
intents parameter must be Intent not <class 'method'>

[sterile sigil]

can u show me how can I use this?

[slate swan]

async def talker():
    get_channel_id = hariku_client.get_channel(ctx.channel_id)```

```py
ctx isnt defined```

how do i fix this?

[shrewd apex]

import discord
from discord.ext import commands

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="!", intents=discord.Intents.all()) # u have to enable all intents in dev portal as well


@bot.event
async def on_ready():
    print(f"Logged in as {bot.user}")


bot.run('YOUR_TOKEN')

[sterile sigil]

ohhhh

[shrewd apex]

ctx is not declared in the function scope

[sterile sigil]

so that's how it work

[shrewd apex]

pass it as a parameter

[sterile sigil]

i thought u say this must be define first

[sterile sigil]

it sent me this
discord.errors.PrivilegedIntentsRequired: Shard ID None is requesting privileged intents that have not been explicitly enabled in the developer portal. It is recommended to go to https://discord.com/developers/applications/ and explicitly enable the privileged intents within your application's page. If this is not possible, then consider disabling the privileged intents instead.

[shrewd apex]

it just literally said what u have to do

[swift heron]

can someone help me add and load cogs in 2.0, and respond to this message with pings so i can see it

[sterile sigil]

damn finally my bot online tysm!!!!

[slate swan]

alright, i did that, theres one small error again lol!

discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'send'

Code:

[shrewd apex]

get_channel_id is None

[slate swan]

ah i forgot, also, im trying to fetch the guild channel id its currently talking in, and it keeps saying its invalid.

ctx.channel_id

correct?

@shrewd apex

[vocal snow]

you can see the possible attributes of ctx in the docs

!d discord.ext.commands.Context

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Context

class discord.ext.commands.Context(*, message, bot, view, args=..., kwargs=..., prefix=None, command=None, invoked_with=None, invoked_parents=..., invoked_subcommand=None, ...)```
Represents the context in which a command is being invoked under.

This class contains a lot of meta data to help you understand more about the invocation context. This class is not created manually and is instead passed around to commands as the first parameter.

This class implements the [`Messageable`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.abc.Messageable "discord.abc.Messageable") ABC.

[pastel mist]

How do I make my bot say something in a voice channel (For example, a simple message like "Hello") in a TTS voice without downloading any audio files?

[upbeat gust]

is discord's built-in TTS good enough?

.send has a kwarg to enable it

[upbeat gust]

What do you need, ask your question

[upbeat gust]

commands.Context.channel then abc.Messageable.id

[glad glen]

Maybe this is a little too open ended: I am completely new to python (and code in general) but I am trying to make a bot that will manage a spreadsheet. I havent had much luck so far as I cant even get the bot to respond to a message. Any advice would be appreciated :)

[upbeat gust]

you should definitely make sure you're familiar with python before this project

discord.py is not for beginners, and id assume so with any spreadsheet lib

[glad glen]

I see

Any recs for learning then outside of data camp?

[upbeat gust]

!resources

[unkempt canyon]

Resources

The Resources page on our website contains a list of hand-selected learning resources that we regularly recommend to both beginners and experts.

[upbeat gust]

https://gist.github.com/scragly/095b5278a354d46e86f02d643fc3d64b#required-knowledge heres some details on what you should know

[glad glen]

Thank you

[upbeat gust]

and uh can I ask why a spreadsheet?

[glad glen]

Keeping track of a count for a small group of people across timezones is boring and Id rather have people be able to tell a bot to update the spreadsheet for me

[upbeat gust]

If you want to store data, you'd use a database

[vale wing]

Look for python tts packages in google

I think there are some

[upbeat gust]

aiogtts looks good

[glad glen]

Im not particularly familiar with any kinda of databases so I want to not overload myself with things to learn

[upbeat gust]

yep, first go learn python, then the basics of dpy

[glad glen]

thanks for the advice, I will go read things now

[upbeat gust]

Why without downloading audio files?

If it's because you don't want to keep actual files in your machine, you can use an io buffer

(BytesIO)

[vale wing]

You can just stream them into discord from URL

[upbeat gust]

How so?

[pastel mist]

yeah but then how to convert it to an AudioSource ? Cuz VoiceClient object's play method only accepts an AudioSource object. I tried directly passing in a BytesIO object but it doesn't work

[pastel mist]

No. I'm building a bot for someone and my client insists on it speaking in the voice channel and not using TTS

[vale wing]

Ok and what is Informations

[white citrus]

Is there a paste bin ?

[vale wing]

!paste

[unkempt canyon]

Pasting large amounts of code

If your code is too long to fit in a codeblock in Discord, you can paste your code here:
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/

After pasting your code, save it by clicking the floppy disk icon in the top right, or by typing ctrl + S. After doing that, the URL should change. Copy the URL and post it here so others can see it.

[white citrus]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/citaripobe

[vale wing]

Look at examples on nextcord's repo, you are not doing views correctly https://github.com/nextcord/nextcord/tree/master/examples%2Fviews

[white citrus]

Sure i use it correct. what you sent are examples.

[vale wing]

Yeah examples to look at

[white citrus]

You can also use the way I use

[vale wing]

You should subclass instead of setting callbacks

[vale wing]

Can doesn't mean should

[white citrus]

But in this case it is easier

[vale wing]

And anyways that's not the definition of Informations I asked for

[white citrus]

Informationens is the class not more

[vale wing]

That's what I need

Show it please

[white citrus]

it is obvious that the button is failing

[vale wing]

What

[white citrus]

I dont know what you want with the whole cog but here
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/oyuqusijuh

[vale wing]

@white citrus

await interaction.edit_original_message(view=self)```
Causes the problems, in your case the `self` is the cog, this is why you should subclass views

[white citrus]

Okay and?

[silent portal]

Is there a way I can sync only role perms of a channel to it's category without overwriting user specific perms?

[vale wing]

You are parsing object of wrong type to the kwarg, isn't it obvious? Wdym "okay and?", do you expect me to send the complete code or smth

[slate swan]

but how

i want it to auto do it

[white citrus]

I would only suggest a solution?

[slate swan]

guys , can someone give me a overwrite code for :
everyone : read_messages = false
a role : read_messages = true

[upbeat gust]

Do it yourself

[vale wing]

I suggested it: subclass instead of your way. Although you can view=nextcord.View.from_message(interaction.message) but it's a pretty bad method. Why are you so stubborn about subclassing?

If you don't want to create a separate class for everything you could do sort of generic class, I can send you the example as well

[slate swan]

how to remove timeout?

[vale wing]

!d discord.Member.timeout just set the duration to None

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.timeout

await timeout(until, /, *, reason=None)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Applies a time out to a member until the specified date time or for the given [`datetime.timedelta`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html#datetime.timedelta "(in Python v3.10)").

You must have [`moderate_members`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Permissions.moderate_members "discord.Permissions.moderate_members") to do this.

This raises the same exceptions as [`edit()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Member.edit "discord.Member.edit").

or how can i print all of those members in a message

?

[cloud dawn]

!d discord.member

!d discord.Member

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member

class discord.Member```
Represents a Discord member to a [`Guild`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Guild "discord.Guild").

This implements a lot of the functionality of [`User`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.User "discord.User").

x == y Checks if two members are equal. Note that this works with [`User`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.User "discord.User") instances too.

x != y Checks if two members are not equal. Note that this works with [`User`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.User "discord.User") instances too.

hash(x) Returns the member’s hash.

str(x) Returns the member’s name with the discriminator.

Can I get user info with this code?

[feral frost]

pls help

i just want to add something like a word to a json file and than with another command i want to send that in a message

but that with multiple things

[swift heron]

i need help adding and loading them

[feral frost]

here is the json file code

{
    "userid": {
        "Kicked": true,
        "Name": "Someoneelse"
    },
    "userid2": {
        "Kicked": true,
        "Name": "Someone"
    }
}
``` so the userid is the user its id and than some info about it now my question is how can i send that info in a message ?

[swift heron]

you used to be able to load them without having async and nkw you do. and i don't know how i should approach that

[feral frost]

of all of the user ids

if you do not understand what i mean pls tell me i just want to know HOW i do it

[slate swan]

if "ticket-"+ member.name +"." in ctx.channel.name: why this dont work

[obtuse blaze]

is it possible to delete last message on specific channel?

[slate swan]

no error

but dont work

[vocal magnet]

where you create your invites table, you have set the id column to be an integer, but invite.id is not an integer

no. invite.id is a string

!d discord.Invite.id

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Invite.id

property id```
Returns the proper code portion of the invite.

[slate swan]

can someone help me

[vocal magnet]

change your invite.id column to a string

Then check their docs for what type it is

go to the place in your code you are creating the invite table

and change the column type

you maybe need to write a migration to change any existing databases, if you don't want to delete the database and start over

[dry fox]

How long does it take to these goddamn slash commands to appear?

[vocal magnet]

I don't know what program that is, but you should be able to google "<program name> change mysql column to string" to get the answer

depends, did you create the database in your code?

[vocal magnet]

then go back and do this

[vocal magnet]

and read this

which part of that is setting the id column to bigint?

cool, and how would you change that to make it text?

yup

but that will only work the next time the database is created

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS means it will only run if a database doesn't already exist

Sure

[brazen raft]

An hour unless you manually synchronize them with a guild

[dry fox]

Can you tell me how to manually synchronize please?

[brazen raft]

Can you tell me what library are you using

[dry fox]

discord.py

[brazen raft]

Uh, hold on

[vocal magnet]

!d discord.app_commands.CommandTree.sync

[unkempt canyon]

discord.app\_commands.CommandTree.sync

await sync(*, guild=None)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Syncs the application commands to Discord.

This also runs the translator to get the translated strings necessary for feeding back into Discord.

This must be called for the application commands to show up.

[feral frost]

HELP ME PLS

[brazen raft]

@dry fox you got to pass a discord.Object object with the id of the guild (if you have a discord.Guild object, that works too) and await it

[hushed galleon]

i think this advice has been outdated since i didnt have to wait that long for a global command update, but the only resource i found supporting this was a PR removing the one hour disclaimers from the API docs
https://github.com/discord/discord-api-docs/pull/4896

[feral frost]

pls help

[dry fox]

Press X to Doubt

[brazen raft]

I imagine they have an hourly loop that updates application commands so it's up to an hour at most but can take less than so

[dry fox]

I have both slash command and echo And The slash commands doesn't show up but the echo works so the bot works

[hushed galleon]

that PR, along with a related one by disnake https://github.com/DisnakeDev/disnake/pull/518 calls it "commands v2", so it does seem a new architecture was rolled out for rolling out app commands

[brazen raft]

Is it just an automated thing done by the library

[hushed galleon]

the synchronization?

[vocal magnet]

Add some debug logging to your command that adds the invite to see what's going on

[brazen raft]

Yes

[hushed galleon]

a followup PR 3 months later removed the android disclaimer https://github.com/discord/discord-api-docs/pull/5398

[hushed galleon]

nah this is part of discord's backend

[feral frost]

pls help

[dry fox]

NameError: name 'bot' is not defined

[slate swan]

if "ticket-"+ member.name +"." in ctx.channel.name: why this dont work

hello who can help me for my bot please

[feral frost]

can someone help me pls

?

[feral frost]

and this was not for you

Question:
How can i send a message that contains all the data from a json file in little pieces?

Example:

{
    "16131694321986341": {
        "Kicked": true,
        "Name": "Albert"
    },
    "6546541454857564": {
        "Kicked": true,
        "Name": "Bert"
    }
}``` How can i make it so that i get the information from "Albert" and "Bert" in 1 message ?

**My code that doesnt work:**
```python
def add_kick(member: discord.Member, id: int):
    if os.path.isfile(f"servers/kick{id}.json"):
        with open(f"servers/kick{id}.json", "r") as fp:
            data = json.load(fp)
        try:
            data[f"{member.id}"]["Name"] = member.name
            data[f"{member.id}"]["Kicked"] = True
        except KeyError:
            data[f"{member.id}"] = {"Name": member.name}
            data[f"{member.id}"] = {"Kicked": True}
    else:
        data = {f"{member.id}": {"Name": member.name}}
        data = {f"{member.id}": {"Kicked": True}}

    with open(f"servers/kick{id}.json", 'w+') as fp:
        json.dump(data, fp, sort_keys=True, indent=4)

@bot.command()
async def kick(ctx, member: discord.Member):
    add_kick(member, ctx.guild.id)
    add_kick(member, ctx.guild.id)
    await ctx.send(f"ok")

@bot.command()
async def getkick(ctx):
    with open(f"servers/kick{ctx.guild.id}.json", "r") as fp:
        data = json.load(fp)
        
    name = data[f"{ctx.author.id}"]["Name"]

    kicked = data[f"{ctx.author.id}"]["Kicked"]
    
    await ctx.send(f"{name} {kicked}")``` Please help me

[silent portal]

hi, is there a way to @mention someone without him getting a notification? (In normal messages, not embeds)

[feral frost]

for you or the bot ?

i think for the bot you can just do somthing like this (f"@{user.name}")

i dont think that will mention the user

[vale wing]

Yeah set the allowed_mentions kwarg

!d discord.abc.Messageable.send

[unkempt canyon]

discord.abc.Messageable.send

await send(content=None, *, tts=False, embed=None, embeds=None, file=None, files=None, stickers=None, delete_after=None, nonce=None, allowed_mentions=None, reference=None, ...)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Sends a message to the destination with the content given.

The content must be a type that can convert to a string through `str(content)`. If the content is set to `None` (the default), then the `embed` parameter must be provided.

To upload a single file, the `file` parameter should be used with a single [`File`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.File "discord.File") object. To upload multiple files, the `files` parameter should be used with a [`list`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#list "(in Python v3.10)") of [`File`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.File "discord.File") objects. **Specifying both parameters will lead to an exception**.

To upload a single embed, the `embed` parameter should be used with a single [`Embed`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Embed "discord.Embed") object. To upload multiple embeds, the `embeds` parameter should be used with a [`list`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#list "(in Python v3.10)") of [`Embed`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Embed "discord.Embed") objects. **Specifying both parameters will lead to an exception**.

[vale wing]

!d discord.AllowedMentions

[unkempt canyon]

discord.AllowedMentions

class discord.AllowedMentions(*, everyone=True, users=True, roles=True, replied_user=True)```
A class that represents what mentions are allowed in a message.

This class can be set during [`Client`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Client "discord.Client") initialisation to apply to every message sent. It can also be applied on a per message basis via [`abc.Messageable.send()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.abc.Messageable.send "discord.abc.Messageable.send") for more fine-grained control.

[vale wing]

Or you could screen the mention

Like @unkempt canyon

🦶

[cloud dawn]

Behold my latest creation https://paste.pythondiscord.com/oxitofijas

[vale wing]

Make sure you used the same env for installing and running, you can check it at the bottom right corner

[vale wing]

This thing moves everyone from the channel when certain user joins? Sus

That's gonna look funny tho

[cloud dawn]

It does lol

[feral frost]

pls can someone pls pls pls just help me

#discord-bots message PLEASEEEE

[cloud dawn]

This isn't getting much attention because you are using json as a method of keeping track of things. JSON isn't meant to dynamically change data but rather static, and since you're also in an async environment opening and closing files is considered a heavy sync task.

[feral frost]

ok what else can i do ?

[cloud dawn]

I recommend getting started with databases, your code looks fine so I don't think it should be an issue for you.

[feral frost]

what can i use as databases ?

[cloud dawn]

I personally recommend postgresql paired with asyncpg or a file based sql called sqlite paired with aiosqlite.

If you are more fan of the 'json' syntax I recommend mongoDB paired with motor.

[feral frost]

i do not understand what you are saying but uhm where can i begin ?

[cloud dawn]

I'm saying that you shouldn't use JSON to store data.

[feral frost]

ah ok

[feral frost]

but do you know a good video that explainsµ all of this ?

[cloud dawn]

I got docs :3

[feral frost]

nah i suck at reading them i cant figure out what they mean in that

[cloud dawn]

This vid explains it a bit -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b9_PQvu7UWM
I recommend muting it tough.

[feral frost]

ok

[feral frost]

ah yes i understand why

[vale wing]

Why yall watching vids 😩

That's way too slow information gathering method

[silent portal]

everybody has a different preference on learning stuff

[slate swan]

what is intensts

[cloud dawn]

!intents

[unkempt canyon]

Using intents in discord.py

Intents are a feature of Discord that tells the gateway exactly which events to send your bot. By default discord.py has all intents enabled except for Members, Message Content, and Presences. These are needed for features such as on_member events, to get access to message content, and to get members' statuses.

To enable one of these intents, you need to first go to the Discord developer portal, then to the bot page of your bot's application. Scroll down to the Privileged Gateway Intents section, then enable the intents that you need.

Next, in your bot you need to set the intents you want to connect with in the bot's constructor using the intents keyword argument, like this:

from discord import Intents
from discord.ext import commands

intents = Intents.default()
intents.members = True

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="!", intents=intents)

For more info about using intents, see the discord.py docs on intents, and for general information about them, see the Discord developer documentation on intents.

[feral frost]

why do you care just do not

[zealous jay]

Started using async with mongodb and suddenly the 300k lines tracebacks disappeared

[feral frost]

lol

[zealous jay]

Can blocking code end up causing ratelimits?

Maybe the bot tries to reconnect too many times?

[feral frost]

maybe

[sick birch]

The opposite

It'll block things like heartbeats and get you disconnected

[zealous jay]

yeah that used to happen

but reconnecting too many times can cause ratelimits?

[sick birch]

possibly

[zealous jay]

Im trying to understand what was happening

anyways now it seems to work fine

[vale wing]

You weren't supposed to say this, I was going to start a discussion about memory types 🤓

[feral frost]

ok

HELP

Error:

discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandNotFound: Command "welcome" is not found

[feral frost]

?

[slate swan]

how are you invoking the command

[feral frost]

huh ?

[slate swan]

how are you using the command

[feral frost]

idk ? what do you mean

[slate swan]

never mind then

[feral frost]

? help pls

what do i dooo

[slate swan]

that should be invoked like ?welcome channel channel

[feral frost]

uhm

wait i have image of what it would look like

some other words but you see it

[slate swan]

try doing ?welcome channel #somechannel

[feral frost]

why ?

why the " ?"

[slate swan]

that's how your code is supposed to work

[feral frost]

oh ok

[slate swan]

replace it with whatever your prefix is

[feral frost]

says that Welcome is not found

[slate swan]

send the terminal

[slate swan]

did you call your bot commands ?

[feral frost]

no

[slate swan]

What did you call the class

[slate swan]

it should be @bot.group

[feral frost]

ah ok

ill give it a try hang on

[slate swan]

this might be too advanced for you.

do you understand oop?

[feral frost]

oop?

ok so i inputted this

[slate swan]

object oriented programming

[slate swan]

then what happened?

[feral frost]

and got this

[feral frost]

no ?

[slate swan]

It's recommended you understand it before trying to make discord bots, they aren't beginner level projects

[feral frost]

?

[slate swan]

async def channel(self, ctx, *, channel: discord.TextChannel):

try that in the channel command

[feral frost]

ok

[feral frost]

same problem

[slate swan]

send the code u used now

[feral frost]

is this right ?

[slate swan]

!d discord.TextChannel

[unkempt canyon]

discord.TextChannel

class discord.TextChannel```
Represents a Discord guild text channel.

x == y Checks if two channels are equal.

x != y Checks if two channels are not equal.

hash(x) Returns the channel’s hash.

str(x) Returns the channel’s name.

[feral frost]

?

[slate swan]

stop with the question marks

[feral frost]

but what am i with this ❓

[slate swan]

nothing

[feral frost]

ok so uhm ?

[slate swan]

uhhh

[feral frost]

but

is it normal that @bot.group that the bot is in blue and group in yellow ?

[slate swan]

Ive never used subcommands

[feral frost]

same

[slate swan]

send ur code again

[feral frost]

maybe we can make it 1 command

[slate swan]

no

[feral frost]

no

ok no it is

[slate swan]

what happens when you do ?welcome

[honest shoal]

remove self

[slate swan]

I thought it was a cog

it it?

[feral frost]

it worked BUT BUT BIG BUT

[slate swan]

calm down

[honest shoal]

it should not have the @bot decorators, if in cog

[slate swan]

remove the * I told you to put

[honest shoal]

I use a discord channel as db

[feral frost]

ok

[slate swan]

and that's probably sql error idk how to fix

[feral frost]

same error

[slate swan]

Idk how to fix

[honest shoal]

#databases

[feral frost]

you said you made a discord channel a database right

[slate swan]

don't do that...

[feral frost]

ok

ill move on to the database channel

thanku for helping

[honest shoal]

it's private bot

[feral frost]

ok
