great!

it should do that

    endEmbed=nextcord.Embed(title=f"🎉 **{prize}** 🎉",description=f"> **Ends:** <t:{utc_time}:R>\n"
                                                                        f"> **Hosted By:** {interaction.user.mention}\n"
                                                                   f"> **Winner:** {winner.mention}")```

[slate swan]

au/ra is a cutie

[cold sonnet]

you shouldn't've'd typed that

[slate swan]

use getch as panda told

[vale wing]

Should not have head? 😳

[cloud dawn]

It should congratulate?

[slate swan]

role = guild.get_role(id) or await guild.fetch_role(id)

[cold sonnet]

yes

[cloud dawn]

head

[cold sonnet]

I'm trynna sound British

[vale wing]

Screw having head fr

[cloud dawn]

wot

[cold sonnet]

why did you edit that to head

[slate swan]

its bri'sh in dat case

[vale wing]

I make discord bots what do I need the head for

[slate swan]

it should edit the embed to that

[cold sonnet]

appreciation

[cloud dawn]

Any error?

[slate swan]

no sadly

cuz its not connected even though i made a class

[cloud dawn]

Does it work if you do it short time like 10 seconds?

Where does it stop?

[slate swan]

ill check

[south coyote]

now im confused

getch?

[slate swan]

bro see the next message

[slate swan]

🚶‍♂️

[cloud dawn]

Get and fetch it's a method that tries to get it from cache first, if it fails, fetch it.

[slate swan]

no

[cloud dawn]

Could you debug it a bit to see where it stops, the code.

[slate swan]

wdym

[cloud dawn]

Adding some prints etc

[slate swan]

OHH

[south coyote]

thanks guys

[slate swan]

yes okay

tbh the method should be able simply accept a discord.Object since all it needs is an ID , but meh discord.py moment

[cloud dawn]

Just make 1 method to rule them all.

[slate swan]

let the users make the request payload

[cloud dawn]

[slate swan]

yep its not reading the end class

[south coyote]

@slate swan like this huh?

await interaction.user.add_roles(interaction.user.get_role(985708739392839720))

that would work in python

[slate swan]

your error handler is faulty, add an else: raise error at the end of it

[slate swan]

not gonna work, scroll up and see the code that i sent for roles variable

[slate swan]

lol okay ty

[south coyote]

yeah i did

[cloud dawn]

try:
  bot.run(...)
except:
  pass

[slate swan]

so just do interaction.user.add_roles(role) now

[slate swan]

okay

[cloud dawn]

no dont 😂

[slate swan]

OH

[cloud dawn]

It was a joke

[slate swan]

oh lol

running the bot with an ellipse yeah

[south coyote]

guild is not defined anywhere

[slate swan]

interaction.guild will be the guild

[south coyote]

why doesn't this work?

await interaction.user.add_roles(interaction.guild.fetch_role(985708739392839720))

[slate swan]

you need to await the fetch_role

[cloud dawn]

!e ```py
a, b = a[b] = {}, 5

print(a, b)

[unkempt canyon]

@cloud dawn :white_check_mark: Your 3.11 eval job has completed with return code 0.

{5: ({...}, 5)} 5

[slate swan]

cursed

[south coyote]

omg this is getting too confusing

im so sorry

[cloud dawn]

await interaction.user.add_roles((await interaction.guild.fetch_role(985708739392839720)))

[south coyote]

that's my kind of code there

[cloud dawn]

But like Sarth said use the getch

[south coyote]

now you're messing with me

[slate swan]

you didnt add the await

[south coyote]

@discord.ui.button(label = "Get OG Status, Now!", style = discord.ButtonStyle.green, custom_id = "role_button")
    async def get_mod(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, button: discord.ui.Button):

            await interaction.user.add_roles(await interaction.guild.fetch_role(985708739392839720))
            await interaction.response.send_message(f"I have given you {interaction.user.get_role(985708739392839720)}!", ephemeral = True)
        else:
            if interaction.user.get_role(985708739392839720) is not None:
                await interaction.response.send_message(f"You don't need {interaction.user.get_role(985708739392839720)}!", ephemeral = True)

[maiden fable]

Thanks for fucking up my mind

[cloud dawn]

role = interaction.guild.get(985708739392839720) or await interaction.guild.fetch_role(985708739392839720)
await interaction.user.add_roles([role])

[cloud dawn]

Are you trying to figure it out :D

[south coyote]

what is this or business

[cloud dawn]

!or

[unkempt canyon]

When checking if something is equal to one thing or another, you might think that this is possible:

# Incorrect...
if favorite_fruit == 'grapefruit' or 'lemon':
    print("That's a weird favorite fruit to have.")

While this makes sense in English, it may not behave the way you would expect. In Python, you should have complete instructions on both sides of the logical operator.

So, if you want to check if something is equal to one thing or another, there are two common ways:

# Like this...
if favorite_fruit == 'grapefruit' or favorite_fruit == 'lemon':
    print("That's a weird favorite fruit to have.")

# ...or like this.
if favorite_fruit in ('grapefruit', 'lemon'):
    print("That's a weird favorite fruit to have.")

[south coyote]

is that the getch part

[maiden fable]

If I try anymore, I will stop believing in anything and everything

[south coyote]

await interaction.response.send_message(f"I have given you {interaction.user.get_role(985708739392839720)}!", ephemeral = True)

this is line 62

[cloud dawn]

Why would you get the role twice?

[south coyote]

that is a confirmation message

[cloud dawn]

Yes okay but you re-get the role.

That's because the user isn't in the cache.

[south coyote]

hmmm

[cloud dawn]

Honestly this is all base level stuff, since discord.py doesn't have methods for some handy useful things you have to code the beforehand in a custom utils py

[south coyote]

i know right i would have been done hours ago

by myself

[cloud dawn]

That's why every person that helps here always say that he or she is busy coding the bot base lmao.

[south coyote]

so i gotta figure out how to reduce the role to the variable level

[cloud dawn]

Your code looks alright it's just in the wrong place and you're doing a lot of the same things again.

[south coyote]

thanks

i want to make a lemmings button so people can ban themselves

hahahahahaha

[lofty lance]

hey

i wana pick the gif link the user send after a command

[south coyote]

this guys uses nextcord

https://youtu.be/jMeOejBy8Hc

[lofty lance]

whats this

somethng like
betterdiscord

??

[south coyote]

its a fork of discord.py

[lofty lance]

ooo

[south coyote]

its how to assign roles with buttons

[lofty lance]

cool

[south coyote]

they need to pick discord.py back up man

i can't believe they dropped it

[lofty lance]

-_-

wooo

[cloud dawn]

[lofty lance]

ayee can u pls tell me

i want to pick the gif (as a link) the user send after a command and want to send that gif later on

[cloud dawn]

That's old news they are developing again.

[slate swan]

im using nextcordddd

[south coyote]

what is ternary

[shrewd apex]

ternary operator

do_this if something else do_something_else

[cloud dawn]

test = "yes" if True else "no"

print(test)

[unkempt canyon]

@cloud dawn :white_check_mark: Your 3.11 eval job has completed with return code 0.

yes

[cloud dawn]

Is it an operator?

[south coyote]

that's great man wow

[shrewd apex]

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/394809/does-python-have-a-ternary-conditional-operator

it would be yeah

[cloud dawn]

Hm interesting.

[lofty lance]

aa hey guyss
pls tell me if u got any solution for my problem

i am trying to make a welcome bot

now in a command i want to pick the gif the user send after the command
and want to send it later on
now how can i pick that gifs link????

[slate swan]

!d discord.Attachment.url

ah

[slate swan]

discord models are pain in da ass, the documentation is so bad

[cloud dawn]

https://discord.com/developers/docs/interactions/message-components#text-inputs...? Looks good to me

[slate swan]

there's no description about modals, they just wrote "Creating a modal" in an example with no mention about it's textinput limits or anything

[cloud dawn]

My send link does have text limits etc

[slate swan]

textinput limits, like the maximum number of textinputs a modal can have

its 5 and its not documented anywhere there

// this is a modal
{
  "title": "My Cool Modal",
  "custom_id": "cool_modal",

Text inputs are an interactive component that render on modals. They can be used to collect short-form or long-form text.

all the info about modals is here

[verbal monolith]

RAGHHHH

helpy

[slate swan]

you can get faster help if you just mention your issue lol

[verbal monolith]

yea hol u p

in the time i made this noone ever told me this is outdated and now i need help converying to d.py2

https://github.com/pellpk/AVNDB/blob/main/A Very Nice Discord Bot.py

[slate swan]

is this a discord.py 1.7.3 bot you wont to upgrade to discord.py 2.0.1?

*want

[verbal monolith]

yes and also

[cloud dawn]

"Components are a new field on the message object, so you can use them whether you're sending messages or responding to a slash command or other interaction.

The top-level components field is an array of Action Row components."

-=-

"You can have up to 5 Action Rows per message"

Apparently inputs are action rows lmao

[sick birch]

Yes

[verbal monolith]

noone told me that using :```py
import discord

@client.event
async def on_ready():``` was bad

[sick birch]

One text input per row

[cloud dawn]

Wouldn't have been such a huge deal to implement pagination in the modals... Discord...

[cloud dawn]

It isn't?

[verbal monolith]

apparently its outdated

[cloud dawn]

print('We have logged in as {0.user}'.format(client))
``` this is more cursed.

[verbal monolith]

compared to py @bot.command() async def ping(ctx): await ctx.send("pong")

[verbal monolith]

explain in titanfall2 terms

[cloud dawn]

Could you send the error?

[sick birch]

You're comparing apples to oranges

[verbal monolith]

there isnt an error per se

but i wanna add commands

[cloud dawn]

That's actually a pretty big difference-

[verbal monolith]

and apples are better

[cloud dawn]

I prefer strawberries or pears :3

[verbal monolith]

wow...

[south coyote]

how do you get the button to disappear after use

ill google it

[slate swan]

I believe it's only bad if you're making API calls or changing your bot's presence in on_ready

[cloud dawn]

It's.. okay google it.

[cloud dawn]

👍

[verbal monolith]

so its okay?

how do i add commands then

apparently they conflict

[cloud dawn]

This code should still work.

[slate swan]

🗿 lmao thats not it, but yeah they do mention about the 5 textinput limit in the part where they tell how to create a modal interaction lol
it should start reading more, thanks!

• here: https://discord.com/developers/docs/interactions/receiving-and-responding#interaction-response-object-modal

[cloud dawn]

Robin begs to differ.

[slate swan]

itzzz one selectmenu per row

[verbal monolith]

oh so my ass just got trolle dd AHH

ok so how do i add commands then

[sick birch]

My point exactly

[slate swan]

you can edit the message after the button is pressed and update the view parameter

[south coyote]

hmmm

[verbal monolith]

.

[sick birch]

Like this

[verbal monolith]

how to convert/

i dont understant the noted D:

[sick birch]

You have a perfectly working command handler right there

[verbal monolith]

that doesnt work tho

[sick birch]

How so?

[verbal monolith]

import discord
from discord.ext import commands

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


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

bot.run("token")```

[slate swan]

you gotta enable message_content intents

[verbal monolith]

oh so

no i did ?

[slate swan]

in the code as well!

[verbal monolith]

do u mean this

intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.message_content = True
client = commands.Bot(command_prefix='!', intents=intents)```

[slate swan]

!intents instead of members it will be message_content for you

[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]

correct

[south coyote]

hey Robin!

happy to see you

[verbal monolith]

'Intents' object attribute 'message_content' is read-only

'Intents' object has no attribute 'message_content'

[sick birch]

hey there

howdydo

[south coyote]

good these guys are great you got a great community here

i found this

async def button_callback(button_inter: disnake.MessageInteraction):
            button1.disabled = True
            await button_inter.send(embed=embedname2)
            await slash_inter.edit_original_message(view=view)

        button1.callback = button_callback

        await slash_inter.send(embed=embed1, view=view)

that's disnake

[slate swan]

any reason why I shouldn't be using discord.Intents.all()?

[south coyote]

i use it

[sick birch]

Unnecessary computational strain on the instance

Waste of resources

[slate swan]

Fair enough.

[south coyote]

see

i toldyou i use it

[sick birch]

hahaha

[south coyote]

im all about that unecessary strain

[sick birch]

It's convenient in dev but I would suggest remove during prod

[south coyote]

my carbon footprint tho

[verbal monolith]

help D:

[slate swan]

I see, thanks.

So does anyone know of a way to get the user who invited the bot to a given guild in the on_guild_join event? One that doesn't require 'dangerous' permissions such as view audit log or manage server perms, because the only 2 methods I know of require those permissions.

[sick birch]

The gateway doesn't dispatch that unfortunately

If you can view invites that's one way

[cloud dawn]

Audit log does report it

[slate swan]

The idea is to be able to DM the user encase the bot doesn't have the permissions it needs. But using the audit log or viewing server integrations to find the user doesn't make sense to me, because those require permissions even more powerful than those actually needed for my bot to work (send messages, embed links etc...).

[verbal monolith]

how do i fix this?

[sick birch]

I believe for a user to get your bot to join their server, they need to accept all the permissions right?

[slate swan]

!d discord.Integeration.user

[unkempt canyon]

Not gonna happen.

No documentation found for the requested symbol.

[slate swan]

wait there was a method, ill be right back

[sick birch]

There's the check screen where you verify all the permissions

[slate swan]

You can un-check those boxes though, I think.

[sick birch]

Ah can you

Yeah that sure is an issue

[slate swan]

!d discord.Integration check this class it has an attr for that

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Integration

class discord.Integration```
Represents a guild integration.

New in version 1.4.

[slate swan]

And also the bot might get caught up with channel-specific overrides

yeah its discord.Integration.user

it gives you the User that added the integration (bot) to the server

Yeah but the bot needs manage server to view that doesn't it?

yeah that's a limitation

[sick birch]

I would just use the has permission decorator on commands that need certain permissions

[slate swan]

I was thinking of doing that, then just DM interaction.user if permissions are missing

[south coyote]

hey Robin do you know how to disable a button in discord.py after its been used

do you have to define a function?

[sick birch]

!d discord.ui.Button.disabled

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ui.Button.disabled

property disabled```
Whether the button is disabled or not.

[sick birch]

Set this property to true

Then resend the view

[south coyote]

okay

[slate swan]

Will I have to do this for each command individually or is there an easy way to do it for all of them at once?

For example if every command simply requires external emojis and embed links

[slate swan]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.add_check

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.add\_check

add_check(func, /, *, call_once=False)```
Adds a global check to the bot.

This is the non-decorator interface to [`check()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.check "discord.ext.commands.Bot.check") and [`check_once()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.check_once "discord.ext.commands.Bot.check_once").

Changed in version 2.0: `func` parameter is now positional-only.

See also

The [`check()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.check "discord.ext.commands.check") decorator

[slate swan]

Thanks.

[south coyote]

like this.....?

[sick birch]

Surely not all commands require elevated permissions?

[lofty lance]

how can i mention a new member who joind the server

i am using member.mention under on_member_join

[slate swan]

Well they all require the basics such as sending messages, sending embeds etc.

[sick birch]

Right, but different commands will require different permissions

So decorate each command (or a cog) with what permissions they need

So users can turn off one permission and still have the rest of the bot work

[slate swan]

Yeah that makes sense thank you

[south coyote]

how do i set it to true?

[slate swan]

make sure the members intent is enabled

[lofty lance]

yes its

[slate swan]

well what did you try so far

[lofty lance]

amm i was learing discord bots few months ago
And then i was making welcome bot at that time it was mentionting users

but its not doing it now

i am taking a welcome message from a user
with @rich otter(specifies that u have to mention use rname )and store it in a json file

whn user join it i am trying to replace the @rich otter with the new joind member name
i was able to do it few months ago but not now

[honest shoal]

so earlier the code was working, then it suddenly stops working?

and you didn't change anything?

[lofty lance]

yaaa

like that

[honest shoal]

then show the code

[lofty lance]

its a bit complicated tbh
the code i mean i am also confused what i made

[honest shoal]

I cannot help if you don't post the code or any error

[lofty lance]

pls ignore the channel error

[honest shoal]

the entire code I mean

if it's big then paste 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.

[lofty lance]

amm its too big

and many pending things

i will try wait pls

[slate swan]

Probably you updated to dpy 2.0 since those months past and your code broke as a result

[honest shoal]

then fix them first or use cogs

[honest shoal]

I don't think there are any changes on on_member_join

[lofty lance]

done i pase it

[honest shoal]

send the link

[lofty lance]

it was in aug

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/iyarakoqam

[lofty lance]

the mention code is first
and then its the commands to get the data for welcome message

[honest shoal]

I don't really like the way you made it, it's messy

[lofty lance]

yaa thats true

[honest shoal]

and events are inside a function, just use cogs

[lofty lance]

oke sir

i will do all that once i made it send succesfull welcome message

thats the aim for now

[south coyote]

im supposed to edit a message and change the view

i have now clue

ho hum

[honest shoal]

remove that function first

[slate swan]

you want to change the view parameter of the message
so for example to remove the buttons entirely you can do view=None

[honest shoal]

and you don't need try/except, the library provides you error if bot fails to send

[lofty lance]

alright🥲

[south coyote]

but where

[naive briar]

!d discord.Message.edit

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message.edit

await edit(*, content=..., embed=..., embeds=..., attachments=..., suppress=False, delete_after=None, allowed_mentions=..., view=...)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Edits the message.

The content must be able to be transformed into a string via `str(content)`.

Changed in version 1.3: The `suppress` keyword-only parameter was added.

Changed in version 2.0: Edits are no longer in-place, the newly edited message is returned instead.

Changed in version 2.0: This function will now raise [`TypeError`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/exceptions.html#TypeError "(in Python v3.11)") instead of `InvalidArgument`.

[lofty lance]

yaa i today only got to know about it but the code is wheni was learing basics of it

[south coyote]

oh

[lofty lance]

i guss its better to rewrite the whole code

anyway can u guss tell me one thing
i am using json to store the data for the welcome bot
like the welcome message etc

is there any other btter alt

for it

[south coyote]

await interaction.message.edit(content = None, view=button_view())

like that i guess?

[lofty lance]

is that for me??

[south coyote]

no im trying to figure out how to edit a message and then disable it and refresh the view

[naive briar]

Sqlite

[primal token]

You can also consider mongodb for a JSON like db

[lofty lance]

i was also thinking to do so
will it be a good idea ??

[primal token]

Sure

[glad cradle]

you can't "disable" a message, wdym

[primal token]

Just do know to use an async driver, e.g Motor

[south coyote]

i gotta disable the button so i gotta run the button snippet twice

once again at the end

[glad cradle]

mh?

[south coyote]

so i guess i use the message id right

or the button id

[glad cradle]

Not necessarily

you can use the Interaction object

[verbal monolith]

can someone give me an example of discord.ext.commands being used?

[south coyote]

this is what im figuring out

await interaction.edit(view=button_view())

[verbal monolith]

aka command()

[south coyote]

app_commands

[glad cradle]

wait what lib are you using?

[south coyote]

discord.Interaction

discord.py

im using a class

class button_view(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__(timeout=None)
        self.value = None
        self.timeout = None

[glad cradle]

discord.Interaction.edit doesn't exist

[south coyote]

ok

[glad cradle]

!d discord.Interaction.edit_original_response

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Interaction.edit\_original\_response

await edit_original_response(*, content=..., embeds=..., embed=..., attachments=..., view=..., allowed_mentions=None)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Edits the original interaction response message.

This is a lower level interface to [`InteractionMessage.edit()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.InteractionMessage.edit "discord.InteractionMessage.edit") in case you do not want to fetch the message and save an HTTP request.

This method is also the only way to edit the original message if the message sent was ephemeral.

[south coyote]

what im trying to do is gray out the button once its been pressed

it doesn't work intuitively to me

im figuring it out though

[sick birch]

Set disabled property on button to true

Resend view

Easy as that

[south coyote]

how do i set the disabled on it

[sick birch]

button.disabled = True

Where button is the button instance

[south coyote]

hmmm

await button.disabled(True, view=button_view())

[primal token]

It's a property not a method?

[south coyote]

async def get_mod(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, button: discord.ui.Button) -> None:

[sick birch]

It's just button.disabled = True

And then await interaction.edit_original_response(view=self)

[glad cradle]

ig he's defining his button with a decorator so that's his difficulty to set button.disabled = True

[primal token]

It's not really difficult

[glad cradle]

ik

[slate swan]

the decorator callback also takes a button param

if its in some other class they can also do self.<button callback> to access the button obj

[primal token]

You can also check the children of the view, multiple options depending on the use case

[slate swan]

the children way is most convenient

[primal token]

🤨

[south coyote]

well ive never done it

check this out

class button_view(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__(timeout=None)
        self.value = None
        self.timeout = None
    
    @discord.ui.button(label = "Get OG Status, Now!", style = discord.ButtonStyle.green, custom_id = "role_button")
    async def get_mod(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, button: discord.ui.Button) -> None:
        if interaction.user.get_role(985708739392839720) is None:
            role = interaction.guild.get_role(985708739392839720) or await interaction.guild.fetch_role(985708739392839720)
            await interaction.user.add_roles(role)
            await interaction.response.send_message(f"I have given you {interaction.guild.get_role(985708739392839720)}!", ephemeral = True)
        else:
            await interaction.response.send_message(f"You don't need {interaction.guild.get_role(985708739392839720)}!", ephemeral = True)
            await button.disabled(True, view=button_view())


@client.tree.command(guild=MY_GUILD, name = 'get-og-status', description='Get OG status!')
async def launch_button(interaction: discord.Interaction): 
    await interaction.response.send_message(view = button_view())

[glad cradle]

nah the best way is use the button param of the callback

[primal token]

It's a property not a method?

[minor totem]

I presume you just winged it here and guessed?

[south coyote]

not really

i got some hints from googling around and watching videos

[south coyote]

plus you guys helped a lot

[minor totem]

Sorry that was a pointless question

[south coyote]

np

i am somewhat slow to this

i admit

i think i am a differnt kind of learner than most

im very right brained for sure

[minor totem]

Right so yes a property is defined as a function, which is their point. Properties are like attributes, but instead of only storing one value you can define code which should be executed when the attribute is either accessed or set.

I don't think disabled is a property though

[minor totem]

How does this code work btw? There hasn't been any response sent yet here?

[slate swan]

it is a property of Button / ui.Button class

!d discord.ui.Button.disabled

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ui.Button.disabled

property disabled```
Whether the button is disabled or not.

[south coyote]

thats what

[primal token]

I doubt it's your learning speed, How much experience do you have with python and the OOP paradigms? Discord.py depends on many paradigms and can be overwhelming

[south coyote]

about a month

i really only started getting classes within the last month or so

[vague moon]

Hi! discord.Member object have property id which is int. Anyway in discord, you can set id that starts with 0, but in python, you cannot assign int value that starts with 0. How is it possible?

[primal token]

Well then, i would recommend not being hard on yourself when dealing with issues these types of implementing issues

[primal token]

Can you define what a property is and how disabled isnt a property?

[slate swan]

!e print(0o12)

wait this is not it, just a minute

[minor totem]

I think what you'll be looking to do is first disable the button, exactly like others showed. Then we'll need to edit the original message which it doesn't look like you keep around but it should be available through the interaction:

self.get_mod.disabled = False
await interaction.message.edit(view=self)

[primal token]

@minor totem Was your point about, how documentation is misleading due to the fact that Button.disabled is an attribute and not an actual property?

[minor totem]

I forgot that the discord.ui is a bit special, and wraps an underlying button.

The underlying button's disabled is just any ol' regular attribute:
https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/discord/components.py#L187

[unkempt canyon]

discord/components.py line 187

self.disabled: bool = data.get('disabled', False)```

[slate swan]

well the ids that discord sends and receives in payload is actually a snowflake object ( which acts like an string even tho it has an integer value ) so they can begin with a 0, possible way of defining a number with leading zeros would be 0o0<int> but it will just print ( or any operation) the <int> when you try to perform it

[primal token]

Yep, you would be correct

[minor totem]

I don't think there's snowflakes starting with 0. If you want to add 0s at the start, you'd do so during the int to string conversion

[south coyote]

you mean True?

[vague moon]

but 0o prefix makes value octal int

[minor totem]

Yes sorry!

[slate swan]

i said 0o0 , not 0o

!e ```py
value = 0o01
print(value)

[unkempt canyon]

@slate swan :white_check_mark: Your 3.11 eval job has completed with return code 0.

[vague moon]

But if someone's tag is 0123?

[slate swan]

but what's your usecase tho?

[vague moon]

im just wondering how it works

[slate swan]

i don't think that possible, did you confirm in the api server?

[south coyote]

it worked

there she be

[slate swan]

💀 hm i think that won't work here then

i just used it once for an tinyint

well using a string is always an option

[slate swan]

here

[minor totem]

!e

I'll reiterate here. Integers do not have leading 0s, because they are pointless. The leading 0 that you may or may not see in some cases are only added during "rendering" when the integer is turned into a string.

You could do this by using rjust: ```python
snowflake = 418673016093016066
print(str(snowflake).rjust(22, "0"))

[unkempt canyon]

@minor totem :white_check_mark: Your 3.11 eval job has completed with return code 0.

0000418673016093016066

[minor totem]

Someone's tag is the discriminator, it is stored as a string in the API.

[slate swan]

also returned as a string into the payload

[minor totem]

You could store it as an int locally, and turn it into a string and use rjust(4, "0") similar to what I did above

[slate swan]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/exemicepij

so thats my giveaway command and when i end the giveaway its not changing to the end embed

[minor totem]

Well, you have an if-statement there, are you sure it works?

[slate swan]

like

it is sending the embed that a winner is mentioned and the giveaway ended but does nothing w the giveaway command

how do i make a button

[topaz helm]

can someone help me how to see how many servers my bot is on? you mean a command or something?

[glad cradle]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.guilds

[south coyote]

so i have to make a new view class for each button?

[hoary canyon]

hi guys does someone know why im getting an error. Im new and dont really understand

[south coyote]

you gotta put quotes around the key and you have to renew it now since you share dit

[hoary canyon]

renw the token yes? and thanks man legend

[glad cradle]

you can have multiple components per view

[hoary canyon]

once again does i dont know why its giving me an error

[primal token]

!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.

...

[south coyote]

holy moly

its pretty jumbled huh

i think i figured it out actualy

[slate swan]

question, what imports did you use for that?

[south coyote]

let me see

import discord
from discord import app_commands

[slate swan]

what exactly needs sorted out? what is the issue

[south coyote]

its not posting the button

[slate swan]

thats all of them?

btw i need this for myself because i cant figure out how to make a button

[south coyote]

it's giving me errro cant

hold on

yeah that's all

[naive briar]

What even is self.interaction

[slate swan]

thx ill try again

[south coyote]

hahaha

async def launch_button(interaction: discord.Interaction): 
    await interaction.response.send_message(view = button_view())

this works

so i was trying to cull from that

now i have this for the second button im working on separate slash command

@discord.ui.button(label = "What is Cannacoin?", style = discord.ButtonStyle.green, custom_id = "about_us")
    async def aboutus(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, button: discord.ui.Button, embed: discord.Embed) -> None:

        embed.add_field(name="Q: What is Cannacoin?")
        embed.add_field(value="Cannacoin is a ...")
        await self.ctx(embed=embed)
        aboutus.disabled = True
        await self.ctx(view=self)

[slate swan]

what is self.ctx ?

[south coyote]

its a variable

it was on the web

on stack

[slate swan]

idk what ur doing.

[alpine cove]

yeaa

[slate swan]

you should learn the basics or at least read the docs

i read it on stack

[slate swan]

look at what ur error says

its giving u the answer

[south coyote]

there is no ctx

for interaction object

that means i need to put something instead of ctx

[slate swan]

i think its message

try that

i mean partially yea also button interactions are MessageInteractions

[slate swan]

nah

[slate swan]

oh

his entire logic is wrong and he is just copying code from online

thats something i would do

yea then come here and ask us to fix it lol

im trying to do neural networks rn so maybe later

[slate swan]

also what does ctx do
is it some old thing?
i know it means context but what does it do

[south coyote]

im not copying code from online okay

quit accusing me of stuff

im following the tutorials and im watching for watch vscode lights up with

i have a techniques i dont understand manuals

[slate swan]

the tutorial did not say to do self.ctx inside of an interaction

[south coyote]

well i was just doing trial and error

becaue i have never had a teacher

im not copying and bringing it here for you to fix it

[slate swan]

a teacher has nothing to do with you actually taking the time to learn

[south coyote]

dude i am learning i learn this way

nm

im gonna go

im sorry that i bothered you sir

[slate swan]

someone answer

[south coyote]

good luck man this is a touchy crowd at lunchtime

[slate swan]

well the class name (Context) already explains pretty much
it stores information about how & where the command was invoked

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.

[slate swan]

oh thanks

[mighty pilot]

A lot of things you read online may not work anymore (specifically for interaction based events) since discord.py didn't update to include those until recently. Your best resource will be the documents and python basics. One thing that really helped me with the basics is a book called Python Crash Course A Hands-On, Project-Based Introduction to Programming

!d discord.ui.button

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ui.button

@discord.ui.button(*, label=None, custom_id=None, disabled=False, style=<ButtonStyle.secondary: 2>, emoji=None, row=None)```
A decorator that attaches a button to a component.

The function being decorated should have three parameters, `self` representing the [`discord.ui.View`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.ui.View "discord.ui.View"), the [`discord.Interaction`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.Interaction "discord.Interaction") you receive and the [`discord.ui.Button`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.ui.Button "discord.ui.Button") being pressed.

Note

Buttons with a URL cannot be created with this function. Consider creating a [`Button`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.ui.Button "discord.ui.Button") manually instead. This is because buttons with a URL do not have a callback associated with them since Discord does not do any processing with it.

aaaa nothing works

everything works you just don't use them properly

[hollow agate]

Don’t follow tutorials. They all suck and are outdated.

@slate swan https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/tree/master/examples/views

[south coyote]

@slate swan start here...

then look for tutorials on youtube for discord.py and buttons within the last three months or so

its okay to watch tutorials

[slate swan]

ill check it out later

gtg for now

[hollow agate]

No… it’s not

They’re completely outdated, simply learn how to read documents

Much easier and actually in date

You also get the experience for future projects outside of d.py.

Any decent developer will say to never use tutorials. You don’t learn anything, instead, you just copy it and complain that it doesn’t work

[slate swan]

not true. I know quite a bit and started by watching a playlist of someone making a bot in dpy. it’s really just how that person learns

[south coyote]

that's opinion man

[slate swan]

its better not to use them yes, but sometimes its fine as long as its a good tutorial

[hollow agate]

90% of devs will say to not use tutorials

[winged coral]

Truly experienced developers will frankly tell you to do whatever you want to do as long as it works for you

No objectivity about it

[sick birch]

You're right - however when it comes to discord bots, tutorials are just frankly not a good idea

However much you like the youtube video format, I just can't recommend people learn misinformation and build bad habits

[winged coral]

I mean sure it's true a lot of people stumble into outdated videos but I've come across decent up to date versions

Personally tutorials got me into discord bots in the first place and I just kept the docs alongside to cross check

[slate swan]

i prefer text tutorials over videos, they are easily maintainable so they don't get outdated so easily

whats the correct way to make a command (not slash command)
i use

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
  if message.content.startswith("-command"):
    await message.reply("command")

i know there are other ways, but what way is the best
also

intents=discord.Intents.all()
client = discord.Client(intents=intents)
``` is what client is

import discord
from discord.ext import commands

intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.message_content = True

bot = commands.Bot("prefix", intents= intents)

@bot.command(name="name", description="command description")
async def name(ctx: commands.Context):
    ...

bot.run()
``` this is a basic structure for a bot with commands

the pros of using this is that you won't have to parse arguments manually and will avoid sphagetti code

!d intents

!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]

thx

ah

i see

[slate swan]

@bot.command(name="name", description="command description")
async def name(ctx: commands.Context):
  ...

is this for slash commands?

also can i call the bot variable client

well you explicitly mentioned "not slash command" so what do you think

[slate swan]

will you name your dog "kat"

if yes, go for it

[slate swan]

thank u

[slate swan]

apologies if this is a dumb question but...
what exactly am I meant to pass into app_commands.Cooldown.reset() to make it reset my cooldown? it does not state anything in the docs, and does not give any console errors nor reset my cooldown if I leave it empty.

class ErrorHandler(commands.Cog):
    def __init__(self, bot: commands.Bot):
        self.bot = bot
        bot.tree.on_error = self.cog_app_command_error

    async def cog_app_command_error(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, error: app_commands.AppCommandError):

        if isinstance(error, app_commands.BotMissingPermissions):

            app_commands.Cooldown.reset()

            await interaction.user.send(embed=missing_perms_embed)

(I still get a cooldown upon using the command even if BotMissingPermissions is raised which is why I wanna reset it here)

[alpine cove]

well .reset isnt a static method

wouldnt make any sense anyways

you have to create a instance of Cooldown

something like my_cooldown = app_commands.Cooldown()

if you then call .reset on my_cooldown it'll work

.reset is rn expecting the self argument

bcs it wasnt instantiated

if u get what im saying?

im bad at explaining stuff

[hushed galleon]

are you using the @app_commands.cooldown() decorator? they dont provide an easy way to access the actual Cooldown object for you to reset() it

though i dont understand how you'd get a "cooldown" if BotMissingPermissions was raised

[slate swan]

I kinda understand.

[slate swan]

This is how my decorator looks

    @app_commands.command(name='weekly', description='Claim your weekly GamBot $ reward!')
    @app_commands.checks.bot_has_permissions(send_messages=True)
    @app_commands.checks.cooldown(1, 604800)

[hushed galleon]

ah so you mean after the missing permissions fails, the user goes on cooldown afterwards

as a tip, checks run from bottom to top

if you put your cooldown at the top, the checks below it will run first

and then the command stops early if one of them fails

[slate swan]

Wow, I swapped them round and it seems to have done the trick. That makes no sense to me as to why they'd run from the bottom, but thanks for letting me know.

[hushed galleon]

it matches how decorators are applied in python

writing this: py @foo @bar def baz(): ... is equivalent to writing this: py def baz(): ... baz = foo(bar(baz)) bar receives baz first, and foo comes second
(to clarify, the library could have chosen to order the checks differently, but they decided to make it familiar with python's semantics)

[slate swan]

Of course. I didn't realise this before but it makes sense now. Guess that makes me still a Python noob.
Thanks!

[mighty pilot]

How would I go about mentioning all users from a list not knowing the size of the list

[alpine cove]

!d str.join

[unkempt canyon]

str.join

str.join(iterable)```
Return a string which is the concatenation of the strings in *iterable*. A [`TypeError`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/exceptions.html#TypeError "TypeError") will be raised if there are any non-string values in *iterable*, including [`bytes`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#bytes "bytes") objects. The separator between elements is the string providing this method.

[alpine cove]

or a for loop if you want to send multiple messages

[mighty pilot]

I was trying a for loop with a single message and it wasn't working out for me lol

[alpine cove]

use str.join

await ctx.send(f"Hello {', '.join([member.mention for member in members])}")

actually wait

await ctx.send(f"Hello {', '.join([user.mention for user in users])}")

makes more sense

users a list of the users you want to ping

we first use a for loop to get all the mentions

[user.mention for user in users]

this will return smth like:
['@alpine cove', '@alpine cove']

[south coyote]

so i guess you cant create and embedded message from a button click

[alpine cove]

and using .join we put the , in between of all of the mentions

[south coyote]

im so done

[alpine cove]

this will return smth like:
@alpine cove, @alpine cove

[alpine cove]

wdym?

ofc u can

[slate swan]

You can

[south coyote]

dude

dont tell me that

[mighty pilot]

Lol

[alpine cove]

sexist

[south coyote]

nah

[alpine cove]

don't assume genders in 2022 lol

just googled it lmfao

[south coyote]

lol

[alpine cove]

anyways lets get back to dc bots

mods dont like us chatting in here

@hushed galleon why can you not add emojis to messages in #discord-bots

is that a bug?

[south coyote]

you can

[alpine cove]

i cant

[mighty pilot]

He means reactions

[south coyote]

oh wait in here

[alpine cove]

yea

[south coyote]

i thought you meant bots

[hushed galleon]

i dont know why, but helpers can

[alpine cove]

bruh

[slate swan]

no reaction perms

[mighty pilot]

I was wondering the same thing a couple days ago

[south coyote]

can you go to a million on an emoji

[mighty pilot]

But we can add reactions in the general chats

[alpine cove]

should I open like a support ticket?

[south coyote]

there's a bot for that

[alpine cove]

I thought you might be able to change perms

[south coyote]

there's a bot for that on my server

[mighty pilot]

Imo yes because it would be beneficial to be able to add an up arrow on the bottom of a message to indicate you agree with said message

[alpine cove]

ok one sec

[mighty pilot]

Also thanks for this, flawless.

[alpine cove]

np

[alpine cove]

done

[mighty pilot]

[alpine cove]

lets see how long it'll take

[mighty pilot]

Alright anyways, yes you can send an embed after using a button

Same way you would send an embed normally, just put it inside the button block of code

@south coyote

[slate swan]

I made a blackjack game and 95% of the code is inside the button blocks and not the command itself lol

so yes you can do lots things with buttons that you can regular commands

[alpine cove]

I'd say buttons allow you to do much more

for example: Modals

[mighty pilot]

I saw your blackjack game I believe and it's pretty slick. I have 1300 lines of code in one of my bots and approximately half of that is inside an on_message

Maybe not half, but a large amount nonetheless

[slate swan]

I haven't really explored Modals at all yet. What are they used for?

[slate swan]

1300, sheesh

[alpine cove]

its like a form you can fill but in discord

[slate swan]

And thanks I'm very proud of the game :-)

[alpine cove]

bruh

[slate swan]

[mighty pilot]

I want to do something with modals but I don't really have a use yet. And yea 1300 and it's not 100% done yet

HwAt

[slate swan]

I see

[alpine cove]

its pretty dope

[mighty pilot]

Can we start a petition

[alpine cove]

how?

[slate swan]

What sort of features does your bot have?

[mighty pilot]

Am I allowed to send a link to my bots top.gg here?

[slate swan]

You can DM me it if you'd like

[mighty pilot]

It's much easier than typing it out again

[alpine cove]

unlikely

[alpine cove]

same here

[slate swan]

I don't think the mods will let you

[alpine cove]

just dm it to us

actually

[mighty pilot]

Sentx2

[alpine cove]

idk

[mighty pilot]

Really wish I could plug it more places. I need feedback lol

[south coyote]

send it to me too

thanks for all your help over the past few days guys you are great thanks

i want to thank you

[slate swan]

I appreciate the help I've gotten here as well

[south coyote]

all i gotta do is change the view when i show one button and the other

i gotta figure that out how to have multiple views

[mighty pilot]

You only receive dms from friends

[mighty pilot]

Make another view the same way but with a different name then use it with view=secondview

[slate swan]

i'm making a higher or lower game next which is gonna need a crap top of code involving buttons so wish me luck lol

[mighty pilot]

I feel pretty confident with buttons since I started making my level bot. Put that on pause since it's at a solid point and started a giveaway bot with better features like role filtering and channel specificity

[slate swan]

nice best of luck with the new bot

i should make monopoly bot 🥶

[mighty pilot]

A MONOPOLY BOT

I don't even want to play that let alone code it

[glad cradle]

I have never created a complete discord bot, I prefer to throw myself into the internals of disnake 😶‍🌫️

[slate swan]

lmfao
the game alone would be quite hard to do in discord I think , but imagine trying to make an ai bot player for the user to play against (unless you wanna make it multi-player)

[mighty pilot]

I like making discord bots. Also helps that I have a goal of reducing the number of bots in my main server. The owner will not pay premium bot fees so he has a bunch that accomplish one or two things to cover what the others lack. That was what started me on the level bot

[mighty pilot]

[slate swan]

Did the owner commission you to make them a bot?

[mighty pilot]

Nah he's a very good friend of mine and I'm also an admin of the server. Took it upon myself with his input

[slate swan]

that's nice

i'd like to start taking commissions when i'm skilled enough with dpy but I think i'm a fair ways away from that point yet

[glad cradle]

most of the commissioned discord bots are not done very well so it's ok ahaha

[mighty pilot]

I've noticed there's a lot of them that are like half done

Making sure mine aren't falling into that category

[slate swan]

yeah i'm doing my best to make sure I don't leave any loose ends or anything wrong with the bot i'm working on rn

[pliant gulch]

Making a bot isn't a huge problem, but making a bot with a unique feature is very hard

[mighty pilot]

This is true

[slate swan]

ye

that is the aim with my bot...a fun unique bot that plays a bunch of different games such as blackjack, poker, slots, roulette etc.... as well as many other types of casino-style (and other) games

it has it's own currency system and I started working on stuff like achievements and xp ranks to go alongside all that, but they need polishing

[mighty pilot]

There's only one other split leveling system that I know of and it's got a subscription fee so that's my uniqueness lol

The rest I've made have been done before but imo mines better

[south coyote]

make a whole new class?

[mighty pilot]

Yea for a new view

[slate swan]

you can disable individual buttons (which greys them out but they are still there) in a given view but.. I do not think you can make 1 button entirely disappear without making all the other buttons in that view disappear

[mighty pilot]

You can make them disappear

[alpine cove]

!d discord.ui.View.remove_item

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ui.View.remove\_item

remove_item(item)```
Removes an item from the view.

This function returns the class instance to allow for fluent-style chaining.

[mighty pilot]

Just thought he was going for another view

[alpine cove]

to remove a single button

[slate swan]

oh my bad, didn't know about this

[alpine cove]

ur good

[south coyote]

lass button_view(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__(timeout=None)
        self.value = None
        self.timeout = None
class second_view(discord.ui.View):
    def _init_children(self) -> List[Item[Self]]:
        return super()._init_children()

[sick birch]

Why isn't discord.ui.View an ABC internally? Logically it seems like you'd want ui.View to be an ABC that users of the library can provide concrete impls for

[mighty pilot]

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-squarepants-spongebob-imagination-rainbow-happy-gif-4596954

[alpine cove]

good question

I can't think of a scenario where you wouldn't want to inherit from discord.ui.View

[sick birch]

maybe it's just for like link components? being able to initialize it directly

[alpine cove]

mh

[pliant gulch]

The meaning of abstract class is a class which has "abstract" methods bound to it

But for the case of View there is also concrete implementations internally so it wouldn't be an ABC

The only thing "abstract" would be user defined callbacks

[south coyote]

make a pull request

[alpine cove]

mh yea true

[south coyote]

lol

[alpine cove]

ur prob right

I'm simple-minded

[pliant gulch]

Honestly I mostly avoid ABCs I usually just use Protocols if I need something like that

But I generally only write abstract classes one in a blue moon

[mighty pilot]

Random thoughts after I've already laid in bed - is there a way to pull up a list of emojis in a slash command similar to how discord.Member pulls up a list of members? Or do I just need to accept it as string

emojis not buttons my bad

[sick birch]

"In a slash command" - you mean the response to a slash command?

[mighty pilot]

Like the autocorrect bs of a slash command. Where you hit / and click the command you want, then select a subcommand emoji and it let's you scroll emojis

[pliant gulch]

You'll probably need to accept it as a string then do some parsing

Because the discord API wrapper itself (not discord.py) has no Emoji type for command options

But I don't know if discord.py has made a converter for it

[slate swan]

Is there a character limit on the description of a slash command?

[pliant gulch]

Yes, 1-100 characters

[mighty pilot]

Alright. Because I tried a handful of things earlier with no luck then gave up and changed it to str lol

[pliant gulch]

You could try discord.Emoji as the converter but I don't think it'll work

[mighty pilot]

It doesn't

[pliant gulch]

But it might so, give it a try ig

What about discord.PartialEmoji?

[indigo pilot]

yo , does anyone got any good docs on how to learn mysql? i only know mongodb atm but wanna learn mysql

[mighty pilot]

I forget the error but .Emoji gives an error. I didn't try partial

[pliant gulch]

Do you want to learn MySQL itself (RBDMS) or SQL the actual language

[pliant gulch]

Yea I would try partial it could work ig, there is a converter for it

[indigo pilot]

uhh, mysql ?

not exatly sure what ya mean, ive never understood dbs i just know how to use it lol

[mighty pilot]

I'll give it a try tomorrow and if it doesn't work probably just accept defeat and continue to lurk around watching for someone else to have that question and get an answer lol

[pliant gulch]

MySQL would be teaching you like, what data types MySQL supports, how to setup the DB

SQL is the actual language you use to query the database

It's sorta useless to have a SQL database without knowing SQL

[indigo pilot]

ahh ya ya sql then

[pliant gulch]

https://sqlbolt.com/

[indigo pilot]

i know the the basics to it but not complete

[pliant gulch]

You should check out the pins in #databases there is more resources there

[indigo pilot]

oh yeah i know all this

i just need to learn mysql then

or better sqlite, tried before but couldnt find any py docs for it

[pliant gulch]

https://docs.python.org/3/library/sqlite3.html

👀

Also you should be using an async driver for sqlite3 or mysql for discord.py as if you use the regular drivers you will be blocking your event loop

[indigo pilot]

does it automaticly make the file?

[pliant gulch]

I don't know about sqlite nor MySQL I've only used PostgreSQL

[indigo pilot]

how do i do this? i kknow i got this for my mongo setup but being honest i just copy the block of code in all my projects since it makes 0 sense to me then just use self.bot.database.collection.etc..

[indigo pilot]

ahh kk, thanks for helping tho !

[pliant gulch]

Well did you await your mongo db queries?

like await collection.find_one

[indigo pilot]

ya

class MongoConnection:
def init(self, bot, config):
def generate_url():
credentials = config["database"]
global url
url = "mongodb://{username}:{password}@{host}:{port}/{database}".format(
username=credentials["mongoUsername"],
password=credentials["mongoPassword"],
host=credentials["mongoHost"],
port=credentials["mongoPort"],
database=credentials["mongoDatabase"],
)
url += "?authSource=admin"

        return url

    self.bot = bot
    debug = False
    self.client = AsyncIOMotorClient(
        generate_url()
    )  # Mongo connection client
    self.db = self.client[
        config["database"]["mongoDatabase"]
    ]
    self.botinfo = self.db.botinfo  # Mongo levels collection
    self.tickets = self.db.tickets  # Mongo tickets collection
    self.suggestions = self.db.suggestions  # Mongo suggestions collection
    self.botdata = self.db.botdata  # Mongo botdata collection

i only made half of this my bf made the other half since i was confused af

then to access i just await interaction.client.database.suggestions.find_one

or self.bot

[pliant gulch]

collection.find_one(...) -> regular driver
await collection.find_one(...) -> async driver
``` you want to find an async driver for sqlite or MySQL since discord.py is using an asynchronous environment

You have aiosqlite or aiomysql

[indigo pilot]

oo

ty!

[indigo pilot]

so im guessing i gotta do something like this to connect bu tinstead of self.collection i just do self.database = the mysql cursor

idk ill mess around with it, tyy

u leaked your token

[dim bloom]

sorry

hahaha

i need help with this SyntaxError i am new in the programation

[wary crystal]

This isn't even python

[idle fable]

thats javascript mate

[alpine cove]

yea

[indigo pilot]

lmao

[mighty pilot]

Glad everyone else was typing when I exited the image to type lmao

[sick birch]

Make sure your package.json is configured to have "type": "module" or something similar

[idle fable]

this isnt a channel for helping you w discord.js bots its for bots written with python discord api libraries

[dim bloom]

Oh Sorry Bro

[sick birch]

You're currently probably using CommonJS

but aye wrong server

[dim bloom]

where do i change it?

[sick birch]

In your package.json

I suggest further questions be directed to an off topic

[idle fable]

package.json but fr go to a diff. server intended for javascript lmao

[mighty pilot]

I like the immediate unanimous response of "wtf is that"

[sick birch]

it happens every once in a while

a wayward javascript user finds themselves in a python server

[mighty pilot]

Gets gently bullied back to the hole they crawled out of

[idle fable]

a new one at that, it seems

[sick birch]

We prefer to gently re-direct them :P

[sick birch]

We've all gotta start somewhere eh

[wary crystal]

When your language can add numbers and strings together

[mighty pilot]

I'm stuck in my old ways of gently bullying so I try to stay out of the redirects lol

[sick birch]

when your language can add any 2 datatypes together

[mighty pilot]

Chaos.

[sick birch]

Indeed

[alpine cove]

js?

[sick birch]

for the win

[alpine cove]

cap

[dim bloom]

I really could not find the option that you tell me Robin

[sick birch]

You have to add it yourself

[dim bloom]

Where are?

[sick birch]

Just add it anywhere inside of your package.json, as long as it's within the {}

"type": "module"

[wary crystal]

TS when your type system is turing complete

[sick birch]

I believe rust is too

[wary crystal]

Yea it should be

So as long as you have recursion it should be turing complete

I also know hindley milner system is turing complete

Bro

[upbeat gust]

Do you know how to read errors

[south coyote]

not really

[upbeat gust]

Go learn python, dpy isn't for beginners

[blissful lagoon]

@upbeat gust you should re-read our code of conduct

this attitude is not acceptable for our community

[upbeat gust]

What do you suggest?

[blissful lagoon]

^

[upbeat gust]

in terms of how to act in this situation

I don't see any better way to respond to this guy

[blissful lagoon]

then don't

[south coyote]

can you just tell me so we can all move on

[upbeat gust]

Tell you what..? I've told you what the problem is, why it's happening, and what to do instead

[slate swan]

"van installation package is missing or damaged"

[south coyote]

the solution

i just want to make it work man

ill learn from this

[polar hazel]

my balls hurt

[upbeat gust]

I did last time, with nearly the exact same issue, and here you are again

[south coyote]

wow

[upbeat gust]

Don't you remember how you finally put sync in setup_hook

do that for this too

[blissful lagoon]

!mute 891101494445764638 2d You've been told to cut that out

Does that apply to telling people to learn python first?

[south coyote]

this is where i learn man

[blissful lagoon]

@upbeat gust ^

[south coyote]

thanks mods

[zinc jacinth]

yeah, this isn't like Discord.py's server.

[south coyote]

do they help in there?

im not getting paid for what im doing

[upbeat gust]

neither are we

[south coyote]

i knew you would say that

see you later then

[upbeat gust]

I have told you everything you need to know but ok

[south coyote]

i wish i was as smart as you man

i just want to take a break now

i appreciate it

[upbeat gust]

In the meantime, maybe have a look at oop basics
https://realpython.com/python3-object-oriented-programming/

[south coyote]

ok

ill show you something that i made

on my own

import random
print("Play until you win!") 
print("Rock, Paper, or Scissors?")
class GameEngine:
    def __init__(self, computer):
        self.computer = computer
starter = GameEngine(random.choice([-4,-2,-1]))
class Player:
    def __init__ (self, options):
        self.options = options
play = Player({"rock":4,"paper":2,"scissors":1})
class ScoreBoard:
    def __init__(self, score, loss):
        self.score = score
        self.loss = loss
while True:
    match = ScoreBoard(play.options[input("Choose: ")]+starter.computer,[0,-1,-2,3])
    if match.score in match.loss:
        starter.computer = 0
    else:
        print("You win!")
        break

this is when i figured out OOP

[upbeat gust]

Cool

[primal token]

Have you look on the 4 most important principles it depends on? I've seen plenty of users that use OOP but dont know about them and i do recommend you check them out

[upbeat gust]

and uh this doesn't really seem like something you'd even use classes for anyway

[south coyote]

im just wondering if you aren't here to commit to the community standards why are you here

don't you have something better to do

i believe inheritance is one

[primal token]

Yep

Inheritance, Polymorphism, encapsulation and abstraction

[south coyote]

im writing down poly and abstact

im sorry i forgot what you told me chrispy

this is getting weird i think i should go

[south coyote]

im in desperate need of assistance right now can someone please help me with my bot

[alpine cove]

on it xD

This code works only when I run it on Replit, it doesnt send anything if i run it in my pc.

It is supposed to send 2 images in the same embed. I have the same libraries installed (discord 2.0.0, discord.py 2.0.1)

[upbeat gust]

what happens

does anything work? does anything get printed to console?

[prisma pivot]

how to make a condition to a message which is sent by someone

like if the person(ID) sends (something) then do (this)

like this

[slate swan]

message.author

thats my giveaway code and when i do the end command its sending a winner but in the create command it does nothing it doesnt edit the message to py endEmbed=nextcord.Embed(title=f"🎉 **{prize}** 🎉",description=f"> **Ends:** <t:{utc_time}:R>\n" f"> **Hosted By:** {interaction.user.mention}\n" f"> **Winner:** {winner.mention}")
bc its just sending a winner but does nothing w the real giveaway

why are u sleeping inside the create function?

oh no

i see

does anything work at all after your sleep function?

[slate swan]

wdym sleep

[vocal snow]

yes, it doesn't

I really need help I checked the relevant discord.py, but I still cant figure out how I can get the task arguments to read the set datetime.time

[slate swan]

try doing time=time

[toxic turtle]

not work, it always shows loop() takes 0 positional arguments but 1 was given
I can't understand why and how to fix

[alpine cove]

prob bcs of the time arg passed

and taks.loop doesnt accept a positional arg

[slate swan]

ahhh help

[toxic turtle]

How do i fix it?
Since I read about discord.ext.tasks it says Read-only list for the exact times this loop runs at, after that I looked at the related datetime list..

[alpine cove]

tbh idk

[vocal snow]

!d discord.ext.tasks.loop

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.tasks.loop

@discord.ext.tasks.loop(*, seconds=..., minutes=..., hours=..., time=..., count=None, reconnect=True)```
A decorator that schedules a task in the background for you with optional reconnect logic. The decorator returns a [`Loop`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/tasks/index.html#discord.ext.tasks.Loop "discord.ext.tasks.Loop").

[alpine cove]

I'm not at home rn so I cant check

[vocal snow]

time (Union[datetime.time, Sequence[datetime.time]]) –

The exact times to run this loop at. Either a non-empty list or a single value of datetime.time should be passed. Timezones are supported. If no timezone is given for the times, it is assumed to represent UTC time.

This cannot be used in conjunction with the relative time parameters.

and it's a keyword-only argument

[alpine cove]

There is now a special extension for just creating background loops:

from discord.ext import tasks

@tasks.loop(seconds=5)
async def my_loop():
    print('Hello World')

my_loop.start()```
The time until which the above loop will run is dependent upon human psychology, laws of energy and cosmos.
That is:
• You get bored of it
• The power goes down and your script stops working
• The universe explodes

Read more about it here: https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/tasks/

prob something like that

[toxic turtle]

so @task loop () this parameters should be put my timezone?

I'm not familiar with that library buy the problem may be the format of your description

[slate swan]

okay ill try

[mighty pilot]

I would put them all in 1 set of parentheses on 1 line

[naive briar]

That shouldn't be the problem

Hi people ! I'm trying to write the following function pep8 friendly:

response = await bot.wait_for('message', check=lambda message: head(await filter_user(ctx,bot, message) for _ in '_'))

I tried this but I'm not convinced and i don't really know what channel is most suited for this question:

response = await bot.wait_for('message', 
                                check=lambda message: 
                                head(await filter_user(ctx,
                                                        bot, 
                                                        message) for _ in

hiiii sarth <3

[slate swan]

yo this is what black ( #black-formatter ) suggests ```py
response = await bot.wait_for(
"message", check=lambda message: head(await filter_user(ctx, bot, message) for _ in "_")
)

btw you don't need to pass bot there in the function explicit

[slate swan]

doesnt work

just use ctx.bot, it will give you the bot

[slate swan]

do u know whats the problem

[cerulean folio]

#------------------Width counter (72 chars)-----------------------------
    response = await bot.wait_for(
        "message", check=lambda message: head(await filter_user(ctx, bot, message) for _ in "_")
    )

See this is the problem, I'd like to follow pep-8 rule that says width of code shouldn't exceed 72 chars

[slate swan]

well that pep is a bit outdated relative to nowadays screens which are bigger in width

    response = await bot.wait_for(
        "message",
        check=lambda message: head(
            await filter_user(ctx, bot, message) for _ in "_"
        ),
    )
``` for 72 chars^
