[slate swan]

dont care

[slate swan]

[slate swan]

like no errors but i said there

[alpine cove]

understandable I wouldnt care either

[slate swan]

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

pycharm just makes my life harder

[alpine cove]

well its making mine easier

[slate swan]

its vsc

[alpine cove]

vs is weird af

[slate swan]

visual studio code

[slate swan]

add print statements to see till what part of your code it gets executed

[slate swan]

turn on yo linter to strict mode

[slate swan]

i did that and it doesnt connect each other

[alpine cove]

true

[mighty yarrow]

who is coder need help

[mighty pilot]

Nobody

[mighty pilot]

Ask your question

[mighty yarrow]

whats the code for add user id permission to use bot command?

[mighty pilot]

Please elaborate

[mighty yarrow]

like @commands.is_owner()

[mighty pilot]

Which library are you using? And are you using a slash command?

If it's discord.py I can help, idk about the other libraries

[slate swan]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html?highlight=check#checks

[mighty yarrow]

check dm

[mighty pilot]

I don't do dms just ask here. I'm no python master so if I can't help someone else can and you don't have to repeat your questions

[mighty yarrow]

def check_if_it_is_me(ctx):
return ctx.message.author.id == 85309593344815104

@bot.command()
@commands.check(check_if_it_is_me)
async def only_for_me(ctx):
await ctx.send('I know you!')

@mighty pilot

[mighty pilot]

Do you want it to only work for you or only work for a server permission level

[mighty yarrow]

work with anyone

[slate swan]

!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.

[mighty pilot]

If you want it to work with anyone then why are you asking about how to restrict it to just you

[mighty pilot]

If you wanted a permission level restriction or role restriction etc you could use a check like sarth said here

If you want it to only work for you I'd just do an if ctx.author.id == 45676432567876788

I guess the check_if_it_is_me is a thing too but idk why you'd prefer to make more lines unless you want an error raised if it's not you

[slate swan]

it was in the docs lol

[mighty pilot]

Yea I read that. It's interesting that it exists but I am a simple man and prefer a short if line lol

[slate swan]

same

[viscid galleon]

!venv

[unkempt canyon]

Virtual Environments

Virtual environments are isolated Python environments, which make it easier to keep your system clean and manage dependencies. By default, when activated, only libraries and scripts installed in the virtual environment are accessible, preventing cross-project dependency conflicts, and allowing easy isolation of requirements.

To create a new virtual environment, you can use the standard library venv module: python3 -m venv .venv (replace python3 with python or py on Windows)

Then, to activate the new virtual environment:

Windows (PowerShell): .venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1
or (Command Prompt): .venv\Scripts\activate.bat
MacOS / Linux (Bash): source .venv/bin/activate

Packages can then be installed to the virtual environment using pip, as normal.

For more information, take a read of the documentation. If you run code through your editor, check its documentation on how to make it use your virtual environment. For example, see the VSCode or PyCharm docs.

Tools such as poetry and pipenv can manage the creation of virtual environments as well as project dependencies, making packaging and installing your project easier.

Note: When using Windows PowerShell, you may need to change the execution policy first. This is only required once:
Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser

[mighty yarrow]

not everyone bruh

[mighty pilot]

.

[mighty yarrow]

how about only works with your id

416738006511124480

[mighty pilot]

There's like 7 answers if you just read up the channel lol

[mighty yarrow]

i have to rewrite code everytime when i want to add more user id lol

[mighty pilot]

Why not restrict it to a role then just add that role to people

[grand willow]

def check_if_me(id):
    if id == 85309593344815104:
        return True
    else:
        return False

@bot.command()
async def only_for_me(ctx):
  if check_if_me(ctx.author.id) == True:
    await ctx.send("I know you!")

Maybe something like this

[vocal snow]

You can just return _id == ...

Instead of using if Statements

[alpine cove]

dont override inbuilts

use _id or user_id instead

[cerulean folio]

I'm running with a problem here.

async def filter_user(ctx,bot, m):
    return(m.author == ctx.author
           # Author of message is command runner
           and m.channel.id == ctx.message.channel.id
           # Message is on the same channel than context
           and not m.reference
           # Mention is not a reply reference
           and len(m.content.split(' ')) == 1
           # Message contains one element
           and ((m.content.isdigit() and await search_id(bot, m.content))
                # Message contains a User ID without a mention
                or (len(m.mentions) == 1 
                    and not m.content.replace(
                            f'<@{m.mentions[0].id}>', ''))))
                # Message contains a mention without any other content

async def select_subject(ctx, bot):
    while True:
        response = await bot.wait_for(
            "message",
                check=lambda message: head(
                    await filter_user(ctx, bot, message) for _ in "_"
            ),
        )
        print(response.content)

So this is supposed to print response.content if user sends a message that matches filter_user() conditions. The conditions are: user either have to write a message with nothing more than a mention, or nothing more than a valid user id.

It worked well with m.content.isdigit() but I wanted to enhance it to perfection by turning it to async so it can filter just valid IDs or mentions instead of digits and mentions.

But this new thingie doesn't filter anything anymore :o

And I don't get where my problem comes from :o

EDIT: Here's what search_id() does btw:

async def search_id(bot, arg):
  try:
    return await bot.fetch_user(arg)
  except:
    return False

[alpine cove]

ever heard of ctx.bot lol

[cerulean folio]

where do you see ctx.bot? XD

[winged coral]

You don't need to pass the bot object, the context object holds it

[cerulean folio]

ohhhh okay i didn't know it

[winged coral]

!d discord.ext.commands.Context.bot

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Context.bot

The bot that contains the command being executed.

[alpine cove]

just use commands

smth like

[cerulean folio]

Thank you for this info I really appreciate and it will enhance my work. Although my question isn't answered 😊
Can you please help me on it? :D

[alpine cove]

async def greet(ctx, member: discord.Member = None):
  # Im not sure whether it'll raise if an invalid is is provided
  if member:
    return await ctx.send(f"Greetings {ctx.author.mention}")
  ctx.send(f"Greetings {member.mention}")

[alpine cove]

bruh

[slate swan]

whats the issue lol?

[cerulean folio]

Oh I think you missunderstood my question i probably didn't explain it well

[cerulean folio]

basically I have a condition that always return True for a reason I don't understand :o
I wrote it above

[alpine cove]

yea no

what r u trying to do?

[cerulean folio]

Issue is when I turned my check function asynchronous and added a bot.fetch_user() to the conditions

[alpine cove]

why the function... what is it used for?

[cerulean folio]

It's used to control the integrity of the answers

I'm making a questionnaire, so when you run the command a questionnaire starts, and the bot will answer multiple question one by one and take the answers that matches certain conditions

[vocal bloom]

is there a function to convert a path string ("cogs/moderation/ban.py", "cogs\moderation\ban.py") to a importable string (to use in bot.load_extension)("cogs.moderation.ban")

ping me if answering please

[cerulean folio]

si when the bot asks for "Who do you want to greet" I want rather a valid ID or a mention, but I don't want "cat684834384343" or "hi @cerulean folio " to work

Actually, I'll try to refine my question:
can the check kwarg of bot.wait_for('message', check=my_checking_function) be an async function or it makes the code not working properly. If it's the case, can you explain me why?

[alpine cove]

async def is_member(ctx: commands.Context, string: str) -> Optional[discord.User]:
if not ctx.guild:
return
s = string.strip("<@>")
if not (m := ctx.guild.get_member(s)):
return
return m

that should do the job

async def is_user(bot: commands.Bot, string: str) -> Optional[discord.User]:
s = string.strip("<@>")
if not (m := (await bot.fetch_user(s))):
return
return m

actually no wait it wont

[cerulean folio]

You're not understanding my problem

I'm sorry I explain bad

[cerulean folio]

^ This is my question, forget about the one above it's not well explained I apologise

[alpine cove]

async def is_member(ctx: commands.Context, string: str) -> Optional[discord.User]:
  if not ctx.guild:
    return
  s = string.strip("<@>")
  if not s.isnumeric():
    return
  if not (m := ctx.guild.get_member(int(s))):
    return
  return m

I think that does

[cerulean folio]

This checks if it's a guild member, not if a string is a valid id.

async def search_id(bot, arg):
  try:
    return await bot.fetch_user(arg)
  except:
    return False

this does and it works well

[alpine cove]

async def is_user(bot: commands.Bot, string: str) -> Optional[discord.User]:
  s = string.strip("<@>")
  if not s.isnumeric():
    return
  try:
    return await bot.fetch_user(int(s))
  except: # idk the exception
    return

[alpine cove]

oh gotcha

[cerulean folio]

exceptions on this are discord.NotFound and discord.HTTPException

[naive briar]

check should be a normal function, not a async function

At least that's what I've been told

[alpine cove]

thx

[cerulean folio]

AH so that's why it isn't working !

tyyyyy all for helping me and sorry for confusing explainations of my problems haha

[vocal bloom]

.

[cerulean folio]

where do you want to import it to?

[vocal bloom]

bassically i have this but it only works on unix

await self.load_extension(os.path.splitext(entry.path)[0].replace("/", "."))```

[cerulean folio]

Why don't you use from cogs.moderation.ban import *?

[vocal bloom]

cause its in a loop

async def load_extensions_from_folder(self, folder, recursive=False):
        with os.scandir(folder) as it:
            for entry in it:
                if entry.is_dir():
                    if recursive and entry.name != '__pycache__':
                        await self.load_extensions_from_folder(entry.path, recursive=True)
                elif entry.is_file():
                    if entry.name.endswith(".py"):
                        await self.load_extension(os.path.splitext(entry.path)[0].replace("/", "."))```

[cerulean folio]

Oh then your problem interests me as well, I didn't know we can import modules this way

[vocal bloom]

you didnt know about bot.load_extension?

[naive briar]

Apparently

[cerulean folio]

No I just use python import

[vocal bloom]

i bet your imports are 20 lines

lmao

[cerulean folio]

I can't use something if I don't need it / don't know it exists, I don't see what's funny in that ^^

[cerulean folio]

no it's few lines. I just use those __init__.py files and everything is working

[vocal bloom]

oh yeah forgot

[grand willow]

Oh right

[mighty yarrow]

how to ignore server id using discord.py?

[naive briar]

Checks

!d discord.ext.commands.check

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.check

@discord.ext.commands.check(predicate)```
A decorator that adds a check to the [`Command`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Command "discord.ext.commands.Command") or its subclasses. These checks could be accessed via [`Command.checks`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Command.checks "discord.ext.commands.Command.checks").

These checks should be predicates that take in a single parameter taking a [`Context`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Context "discord.ext.commands.Context"). If the check returns a `False`-like value then during invocation a [`CheckFailure`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.CheckFailure "discord.ext.commands.CheckFailure") exception is raised and sent to the [`on_command_error()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.discord.ext.commands.on_command_error "discord.discord.ext.commands.on_command_error") event.

If an exception should be thrown in the predicate then it should be a subclass of [`CommandError`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.CommandError "discord.ext.commands.CommandError"). Any exception not subclassed from it will be propagated while those subclassed will be sent to [`on_command_error()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.discord.ext.commands.on_command_error "discord.discord.ext.commands.on_command_error").

[lofty lance]

hey can any one tell me
how can i get the image the persone sends with the command
And store it in mongo db

[naive briar]

Text or slash command

[maiden fable]

Totally personal preference, but many users (many whom I know) like slash commands because of a cleaner way of invocation

Doesn't matter much for a Private bot tho

[maiden fable]

You cannot store images in JSON??? (MongoDB)

[lofty lance]

so where can i do it

[maiden fable]

You should store it on the file system (HDD/SSD)

[lofty lance]

better i ask for link of image

[maiden fable]

Yea, u should instead save the image link, but the link would be invalidated if the person deletes the image

[naive briar]

The image can be deleted

[lofty lance]

thats there issue
in case image cant be loaded i will show the error

[maiden fable]

If u r sending the image in an Embed, it won't show the image

[lofty lance]

thoo i think i will use the bot for personal use

so it wont happen

[lofty lance]

but embed has the option to show image

what u mean the deleted img u mean

[maiden fable]

I mean, if u delete the image it won't show up in the embed

[lofty lance]

ofc that wont

-_-

without the correct link how can it

[maiden fable]

Just telling
There have been many instances of people saying the image not loading and after ages they check the image link and be like: Image has been deleted, sorry for bothering

[lofty lance]

oke oke

i made a welcome bot

how does it look as user interface

pls egnore the embed

[naive briar]

What do you mean?

[lofty lance]

is it what a bace welcome bot should be

oke leave

thanks for the help

[zealous jay]

what

[sick birch]

Please stop spamming the command

[slate swan]

im trying to figure out whats the right command fir rgar sorry

!pypi discord.py

[unkempt canyon]

discord.py v2.0.1

A Python wrapper for the Discord API

[slate swan]

i'd personally use a command group called welcome with channel and message as subcommands instead

using slash commands would be even better because they provide autocompletes for channels

[lofty lance]

okee

i will work on it

[slate swan]

good luck w/ that

[languid surge]

I have no idea how to ask the question so... I am going to describe the problem

I have been teaching myself python by writing a discord bot

everything was working fine.

then suddenly, my bot starts hanging when atttempting to connect, and I never get the "on_ready" response

[slate swan]

error in the console?

[languid surge]

`import discord
import vars
import responses

block_words = ["uwu", "Rama", "omnitype"]
diceResult = []
diceResultMsg = "Your Results is"

intents = discord.Intents.all()
TOKEN = vars.DISCORD_TOKEN
client = discord.Client(intents=intents)`

'@client.event
async def on_ready():
print(f'{client.user} is now running')'

no error either

[slate swan]

is that all the code you got?

[languid surge]

no theres much more

but it shouldnt do anything before the on_ready event right?

[slate swan]

nope, there are many stuff that can get triggered before on_ready like on_message or on_connect etc

[languid surge]

here is the dump of the main bot code...
`import discord

[sick birch]

You're sure the token is valid?

Try printing the token

[languid surge]

ok

wow the print token isnt even executing

wtf have i done

[slate swan]

where did you place it?

if it's below client.run() it will never get executed

[languid surge]

just after the variable is defined

[slate swan]

hm you sure that you are in the correct directory? is the code saved?

[languid surge]

yeah, the code is all saved

im going to comment out my responses include

[slate swan]

how to download discord

luike

[slate swan]

wait you are running the bot wrong way, you run it using python bot.py lol

discord.py

not ./bot.py

pip install discord.py doesnt work

[slate swan]

what's your python version

[slate swan]

my friends

if its 3.11 you need to install visual c++ tools or just use python 3.10 ( or anything above 3.8)

oh ill check w him

[languid surge]

whats the commant to check version?

[slate swan]

@slate swan

[languid surge]

3.9.1

[slate swan]

python -V

[languid surge]

TY

[slate swan]

i see and what's the error you get when trying to install discord.py?

don't see an error?

[slate swan]

no error

only that

so its installed

he'll check

[slate swan]

ctrl+shift+p, >reload window

thanks

[languid surge]

python ./bot.py is getting me errors now

it connected with almost everything commented out.... now to uncomment

yes it works

thank you

will the time.sleep() function pause the whole bot or just the function if in an async function?

[slate swan]

use asyncio.sleep

and the answer to your question is yes*

[languid surge]

You are awesome

[delicate pilot]

how I can fix this

[shrewd apex]

u install discord.py

[delicate pilot]

I don’t know what is this ERROR

[slate swan]

with discord.py buttons how do i make it so that when you click the button once you cant click it again

[honest shoal]

!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.

[shrewd apex]

disable the button and edit the view

[steel kite]

How do i download discord py

[delicate pilot]

pip install discord.py

but this in cmd

[steel kite]

it says syntax error

[delicate pilot]

@shrewd apex

[steel kite]

it keeps saying syntax error

[shrewd apex]

get the tools from the given link

[mighty pilot]

Microsoft visual c++ 14.0 or greater is required

Tells you what to do lol

[shrewd apex]

get python and set python in ur system vars set the path

[steel kite]

im new to python so idk what ur rlly talking about

[shrewd apex]

then learn pytho before attempting a discord bot

[steel kite]

i already know most of it

[shrewd apex]

wow

[mighty pilot]

[steel kite]

i js dk what u mean by set the path

[shrewd apex]

then u are good to go

google exists

[steel kite]

found out the problem

im set to go

[slate swan]

i want my bot send a embed via my command and each embed has randomised numbers ik how to make a embed js not the randomised numbers

anyone know how to do this?

[naive briar]

!d random.randint

[unkempt canyon]

random.randint

random.randint(a, b)```
Return a random integer *N* such that `a <= N <= b`. Alias for `randrange(a, b+1)`.

[slate swan]

tysm

[sick birch]

Type exit() first, then install discord.py

[steel kite]

thx

if ctx.channel.id not in (1008759406177026068, 1005776398507581490):

!or-gotcha

[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.")

[slate swan]

tysm!

[slate swan]

ik this is dumb and hard to explain but like how would i make it so if i did !frost dragon it would tell me the price of it

i don't want to make a separate command for everything on the list

[grand willow]

@bot.command()
async def frost(ctx, item):

that?

[slate swan]

i don't want to make a separate command for everything

[grand willow]

u dont have to

item will whats after frost

[grand willow]

like u mentioned here

[mighty pilot]

hes saying main command being frost, then make subcommands dragon, witch, troll etc

youll end up needing to make a command or sub command for anything you want to be user input

[grand willow]

U can do this then search for the item in the list if not then say Invalid item or whatever

[waxen cradle]

[slate swan]

is there a way to run both discord both and WebSocketApp?

[slate swan]

ofcourse just make sure to use an async websocket like aiohttps ( discord.py uses that too )

[slate swan]

what about websocket-client?

[slate swan]

is that a python library?

[slate swan]

yes

does it have async support?

no fix, self botting is against tos

[twin flower]

k well fixed it myself

[sour inlet]

so I can't find any documentation that says it does this but does discord limit attached images to 670*670?

I'm trying to send a 3072 * 3072 image in an embed and it keeps downscaling it

[eager bay]

hello everyone! is anyone knowledgeable about making a "custom command" command

[slate swan]

i don't think the img dimensions are the issue but the size of the attachment itself

[sour inlet]

yeah that's what I thought

[slate swan]

i did read somewhere tho that they are typically downscaled to around the size u mentioned

[sour inlet]

[alpine cove]

what is your expected output?

Embed.add_field(url=x) isnt a thing

[south coyote]

you can only add urls in titles?

look what i found!

https://cog-creators.github.io/discord-embed-sandbox/

[slate swan]

titles and authors

or using markdown in description and field values

[south coyote]

hmmm

okay

so if you want a url in the add field then you have to use markdown?

[slate swan]

if you want it to be added in a field value this would be the method ```py
<Embed object>.add_field(name="name", value="text to appear other stuff")

[south coyote]

thanks

[slate swan]

btw you can do something along the lines of this: '[Text](url)' if you want to get a hyperlink inside of your embed description :-)

so for me I have:

f'[Invite Me]({invite}) | [Support Server]({support})'

(invite and support are just strings)
and it looks like this in the embed:

[south coyote]

cool

i like that

[pliant gulch]

Forgot where it goes but Embed(url=...) is there too, but that's probably in the title which was what sarth was referencing

[slate swan]

yessir it appears as hyperlink on the title

[south coyote]

so i put inline= True if i want them as a list?

[slate swan]

inline=True adds the field in the same row

[south coyote]

i don't understand how i can make a button to give a role but i can't use that as a template to post an embed

where did everybody go?

i think its redundant to post an embed with a button anyway. i should forget about that

i should try to figure out how to put a button on an embed instead

[mighty pilot]

You can't put one on an embed but you can put them under - in the same post as the embed

If you know how to give a role, just put that code in the button code block

Discord.member.add_role

[abstract kindle]

Anyone know why I'm not getting any tracebacks when interactions fail

[mighty pilot]

Are you talking about it just saying error when you use an interaction

[abstract kindle]

No

Like in my terminal, I'm getting no traceback

It says this interaction failed, but then I have to figure out why with no traceback

[mighty pilot]

I'm talking about the when interactions failed are you talking about seeing that in discord

[abstract kindle]

The application did not respond

And then I get no traceback in my terminal

[mighty pilot]

You need to set a response for the interaction with interaction.response

[abstract kindle]

......

I'm getting no traceback as to why the code is not working

[mighty pilot]

What does your interaction do

[abstract kindle]

Its with every time any interaction ever fails

No matter what I'm doing, I never get a traceback in my terminal

[mighty pilot]

What does your interaction do

[abstract kindle]

Never mind

[mighty pilot]

You need to send a response to the interaction otherwise it'll tell you it failed in discord. But if you have it set to do something like add a role (for example) it'll still do that

[abstract kindle]

Yeah, I know

I'm telling you. It says "this interaction did not respond" because of a code error. Whether its an undefined variable or a type error, I never get a traceback

[azure granite]

can you guys help me with some basic python

[abstract kindle]

I am sending a response, but it's never reaching that line because of an error before it. But I'm not getting a traceback to find that error in the code before the response

[mighty pilot]

Let's see the code

You could use print() to see what you're getting to trigger

[abstract kindle]

I know

That's what I've been doing. But it's really annoying to put print statements all over to narrow it down the line thats causing it when I could just get a traceback. So I'm asking why it's not giving me a traceback. Does anyone else have that problem?

[mighty pilot]

It's probably an error inside something you're assigning that it doesn't actually see as an error. You could enable the debug mode

[mental hollow]

How can I use enumerate() so that I can replace … in my field name with the warning number -> so it looks like this: Warning #1:.

cursor = db.INFRACTIONS.find({"suspect": member.id})
        warns_embed = discord.Embed(colour = 0x2f3136)
        warns_embed.title = f"Here are {member.name}'s warnings:"
        async for doc in cursor:
            mod = self.bot.get_user(doc["mod_id"])
            warns_embed.add_field(name = f"Warning #...:", value = f"**Punishment ID:** {doc['_id']}\n**Moderator:** {mod}\n**Reason:** {doc['reason']}")

IndentationError: expected an indented block after function definition on line 6 ```

help please

[slate swan]

your py version?

[slate swan]

!indent

[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

[teal glade]

How do I make a slash command parameter not required?

Like here I want the reason parameter to be entirely optional

@bot.tree.command(name="kick", description="Kick a member")
@app_commands.checks.has_permissions(kick_members=True)
async def kick(interaction: Interaction, member: discord.Member, reason: str):

[nocturne totem]

3.11

[vocal snow]

typehint to Optional[str] or give a default value

[teal glade]

eh?

[teal glade]

Changing type hints doesn't work

[vocal snow]

typing.Optional...

!d typing.Optional

[unkempt canyon]

typing.Optional

typing.Optional```
Optional type.

`Optional[X]` is equivalent to `X | None` (or `Union[X, None]`).

Note that this is not the same concept as an optional argument, which is one that has a default. An optional argument with a default does not require the `Optional` qualifier on its type annotation just because it is optional. For example:

```py
def foo(arg: int = 0) -> None:
    ...
```  On the other hand, if an explicit value of `None` is allowed, the use of `Optional` is appropriate, whether the argument is optional or not. For example...

[teal glade]

ahhh

Okay thanks!

[nocturne totem]

anyone know how to fix?

[hushed galleon]

some of aiohttp's dependencies (specifically multidict, yarl, and frozenlist) dont have prebuilt wheels for python 3.11, which means you need to either:

1. download the build tools as linked somewhere above your error message - on windows its the VS build tools, specifically "Desktop development for C++" which will be 6GB - or;
2. downgrade to python 3.10, which has the prebuilt wheels

[ionic garden]

is there a list of all the types of interactions? i know there's buttons, but is there anything else?

[hushed galleon]

the exact types are documented in the discord API
https://discord.com/developers/docs/interactions/receiving-and-responding#interaction-object-interaction-type

that includes application commands (slash and context menu), autocompletes, and modals

[ionic garden]

don't see anything relating to buttons in there?

[hushed galleon]

buttons fall under the MESSAGE_COMPONENT type

if you mean you wanted a list of different components you can add on messages, there's only buttons and select menus

[ionic garden]

what's a select menu look like?

[hushed galleon]

https://discord.com/assets/d72e21c18e092c8e224b1d954ef31713.png

see also:
https://discord.com/developers/docs/interactions/message-components#select-menus

is this in context to any api wrapper you're using like discord.py? or are you intending to use the API directly

[ionic garden]

no i'm using discord.py

[hushed galleon]

then their documentation would be a helpful source as well

[sick birch]

Wait select menus can have roles now?

What else can you select?

Last time i checked it was only text

[hushed galleon]

wdym

[sick birch]

it seems like you're selecting more than just plain text?

[torn sail]

Roles and users and channels

[hushed galleon]

hm thinking about it i havent seen those member counters before, but perhaps thats part of the select option

[ionic garden]

yeah but their docs don't give that image you just provided

[torn sail]

!d discord.ui.RoleSelect

[hushed galleon]

fair enough

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ui.RoleSelect

class discord.ui.RoleSelect(*, custom_id=..., placeholder=None, min_values=1, max_values=1, disabled=False, row=None)```
Represents a UI select menu with a list of predefined options with the current roles of the guild.

Please note that if you use this in a private message with a user, no roles will be displayed to the user.

New in version 2.1.

[glad cradle]

channels & users too

[hushed galleon]

oh i didnt notice the "RoleSelect", huh

looks like they're new types for select menus

[glad cradle]

iirc it doesn't really show all the roles of a guild

[hushed galleon]

and i was here thinking i just shared a normal picture of select menus

[nocturne totem]

but i downloaded desktop dev for c++

[hushed galleon]

you just downloaded the build tools? or do you mean you already had it before

btw i would suggest a help channel for this (#❓｜how-to-get-help)

no i vx intaller and download vs build tools then modified it with the c++ thiing

Hi people ! On my journey to recode my bot to a cleaner and smarter code and logic, I wonder how you guys would code a message with buttons other than this because it looks so... bulky :o

import discord
import asyncio
from discord.ui import View

async def select_game(ctx, bot):
  class GameView(View):
      def __init__(self):
          super().__init__(timeout=None)
          self.value = None
          
      @discord.ui.button(label='Genshin', style=discord.ButtonStyle.blurple)
      async def genshin_callback(self, interaction, button):
        if interaction.user == ctx.author:
          self.clear_items()
          await interaction.response.edit_message(content='Game selected: Genshin', view = self)
          self.value = 'Genshin'
          self.stop()

      @discord.ui.button(label='Roblox', style=discord.ButtonStyle.blurple)
      async def roblox_callback(self, interaction, button):
        if interaction.user == ctx.author:
          self.clear_items()
          await interaction.response.edit_message(content='Game selected: Roblox', view = self)
          self.value = 'Roblox'
          self.stop()

      @discord.ui.button(label='Honkai', style=discord.ButtonStyle.blurple)
      async def honkai_callback(self, interaction, button):
        if interaction.user == ctx.author:
          self.clear_items()
          await interaction.response.edit_message(content='Game selected: Honkai', view = self)
          self.value = 'Honkai'
          self.stop()

      @discord.ui.button(label='IDV', style=discord.ButtonStyle.blurple)
      async def idv_callback(self, interaction, button):
        if interaction.user == ctx.author:
          self.clear_items()
          await interaction.response.edit_message(content='Game selected: IDV', view = self)
          self.value = 'IDV'
          self.stop()

      @discord.ui.button(label='Other', style=discord.ButtonStyle.blurple)
      async def other_callback(self, interaction, button):
        if interaction.user == ctx.author:
          self.clear_items()
          await interaction.response.edit_message(content='Game selected: Other', view = self)
          self.value = 'Other'
          self.stop()

  view = GameView()
  msg = await ctx.send('What **game** is it?', view = view)
  def check(m):
    return (m.author == ctx.author) and (m.content.lower() == 'cancel') and (m.channel.id == ctx.message.channel.id)
  tasks = [asyncio.create_task(view.wait()),
                 asyncio.create_task(bot.wait_for('message', check=check))]
  done_tasks, pending = await asyncio.wait(tasks, return_when=asyncio.FIRST_COMPLETED)
  if tasks[1] in done_tasks:
    return False
  else:
    return str(view.value)

[hushed galleon]

for this i'd consider using a button subclass to store the value OR a select menu which seems more appropriate here, alongside an interaction_check, and a cancellation button which is a bit simpler to implement than waiting on a "cancel" message

[sick birch]

Looks like all your buttons do about the same thing?

I would use a subclass and conditionally edit the message/value

[cerulean folio]

Ah... since I wanna improve my OOP I'll try my best to understand all these :D

Also I don't know if there's select menus on discord.py since it's no longer supported :(

[slate swan]

can someone help me

[mighty pilot]

That's a redundant question just ask what you came to ask

[hushed galleon]

that hasnt been the case for a while now, it resumed development at least 8 months ago, perhaps a bit longer

[cerulean folio]

ohhhh really? that's so cool :D

[mighty pilot]

Yea there's most definitely select menus lol

[hushed galleon]

not to mention it already had select menus before danny initially stopped

[cerulean folio]

so all those new fancy menus and pop up windows where you can write something etc...?

[hushed galleon]

modals yeah, those are in dpy 2.0

[mighty pilot]

Yea select menus. Modals. Buttons.

[cerulean folio]

Okay then I'll do what you and robin asked me with subclasses just to practice OOP and then make dropdown menus.

I have to subclass the class Button from discord.ui?

[hushed galleon]

yeah

[cerulean folio]

alright i'll try rn :D

[hushed galleon]

the interaction.author == ctx.author part is one you can do in the view's interaction_check() method

[mighty pilot]

Isn't there a thing specifically for that in __init__? Interaction check I believe? Edit: I'm dumb that's exactly what you meant

[slate swan]

@client.command()
 async def me(ctx, wink):
     get = await client.get_user() #gets the message author id, then returns the dm channel id  
     await get.send(wink)

 def solid_list(mode, user=None):
     if mode == "read":
         with open("users.txt", "r") as E:
             return E.readlines()
     else:
         with open("users.txt", "a") as E:
             E.write(f"{user}\n")

             return solid_list(mode= "read")
            
 @client.command()
 async def register(ctx):
     solid_list(mode="write", user=ctx.author)```

This is an unfinished command that I don't know how to finish, it was basically me trying to make a list command that would add a person to a list when they triggered the command in a text file and dm a specific user id that such person was added to that list, the user id would be able to view this text file list with another command and be able to take off persons as he sees fit but I dont know what to add so could someone show me

[slate swan]

what exactly are u trying to do?

didn't explain it very well

[slate swan]

@slate swan
Ok so I was trying to make a command when triggered adds the user who triggered the command to a list, this list will contain their name and will be stored by the bot, along with that I would like the bot to dm another user telling them that someone used the command and was added to that list.
Additionally I would like to be able to view this list with another command that would display the list in a text file of some kind or just in plain discord text.

that's pretty simple. on command executution store the user, dm the specific person all inside the cmd that is used

then make another cmd to just pull the data from the list

[dull terrace]

you guys wanna see some pretty useful data?

2 players in server - 7.9 minutes play time, 3.2 play sessions
3 players in server - 13.9 minutes play time, 4.6 play sessions
4 players in server - 18.4 minutes play time, 6.2 play sessions
5 players in server - 14.0 minutes play time, 5.3 play sessions
6 players in server - 33.4 minutes play time, 6.7 play sessions
10 players in server - 8.1 minutes play time, 2.0 play sessions```

averaging play time and play sessions across the amount of people who use one of my bots in each server

seems to strongly suggest social interaction hugely drives bot usage, competition or whatever

[cerulean folio]

Ok so... I read some sources about classes and subclassing. I get the idea but it's very overwhelming for me because years ago I got complitely traumatised and blocked by a teacher reagarding object oriented programming (it was a nightmare) and I really have a big struggle starting to use them. Here's my attempt that failed:

class GameButton(Button):
    def __init__(self, ctx, style, value, game, content, view):
        super().__init__(style=style, label=value)
        self.value = value
        self.game = game
        self.content = content
        self.view = view

    async def callback(self, interaction, ctx):
        if interaction.user == ctx.author:
            self.clear_items()
            await interaction.response.edit_message(content='Game selected: Genshin', view = self)
            self.value = 'Genshin'
            self.stop()

I'm not sure what I'm doing tho

[sick birch]

You're on the right track. the callback takes 3 arguments: self, interaction, button

You could do something like button.label and check the label, and send a message depending on that

content=f"Game selected: {button.label}", pass this into your await interaction.response.edit_message(...)

[slate swan]

you also never actually define a button. unless im missing something here

[ionic garden]

    @commands.hybrid_command("purge")
    @commands.has_permissions(manage_messages=True)
    async def purge(self, ctx: commands.Context, msg_num: int):
        if not ctx.author.guild_permissions.manage_messages:
            await ctx.send("You don't have permission to delete messages!")
            return
        await ctx.message.channel.purge(limit=msg_num, check=lambda _: True)
        await ctx.send(f"Attempted to purge {msg_num} message(s)")

calling this gives the following error: https://paste.pythondiscord.com/ehejujevip

[slate swan]

no clue what the actual issue is because you have a error handler

and the error handler is erroring lol

[ionic garden]

oh ok

[slate swan]

also what are u checking for in the lambda?

[ionic garden]

@bot.event
async def on_command_error(ctx: commands.Context, e: commands.CommandError):
    if isinstance(e, commands.MissingPermissions):
        await ctx.reply("Unable to perform command- check your permissions!", ephemeral=True)

    elif isinstance(e, commands.MissingRequiredArgument):
        await ctx.reply("You're missing a required argument!")
    else:
        await ctx.reply("An unexpected error occurred!", ephemeral=True)
    raise e

^ this is the error handler

[slate swan]

yea remove ur error handler so u can get a proper error

[ionic garden]

nothing, just tryna delete the last x messages

[slate swan]

message

then why have it?

[ionic garden]

why have what?

[digital lava]

what do i put in directory

i need to put it in a r'directory' format

[slate swan]

if ur trying to send a file. u need the path of the file

[digital lava]

yes but i need to generate the path

[slate swan]

huh?

[digital lava]

this program creates a file sends it and then deletes

it

[slate swan]

so just save the file to a location

[digital lava]

im getting erros with the r'' format

[slate swan]

no clue what that means

[digital lava]

can i send you the code, and see if you can figure out my problem

x = message.content
x = x[2:]
yt = pytube.YouTube(x)
t = yt.streams.filter(only_audio=True).first()
out_file = t.download(output_path='C:\Users\Ethan\PycharmProjects\YoutubeBot')
base, ext = os.path.splitext(out_file)
new_file = base + '.mp3'
os.rename(out_file, new_file)
time.sleep(10)
directory = ???
directory = str(directory)
await message.channel.send(file=discord.File(directory))
os.remove(directory)

i need to add the new file name to the end of \YoutubeBot

[south coyote]

what's the bests way to host your bots?

[slate swan]

u already have the file. out_file why rename and do extra stuff

[south coyote]

what's the best hosting service

[digital lava]

i need to add r' to the front

[slate swan]

how would I type that?

[digital lava]

but once ive done that it says it isnt formatted correcly

[slate swan]

but why? all ur doing is sending a file after downloading then deleting it

[digital lava]

it says its formated as "r'directory'" instead of r'directory'

[south coyote]

i learned a lot today from the discord.py github examples

[digital lava]

cause im using my directory and it need r'' for some reason

[south coyote]

now i have embeds with buttons! yay!

[digital lava]

if you can show me a way to not need that that would also work

r' is the file pointer btw

[south coyote]

what is the problem maybe i can help

these guys are tough nuts sometimes

ill just tell you how to do it so you dont lose sleep

[digital lava]

x = message.content
x = x[2:]
yt = pytube.YouTube(x)
t = yt.streams.filter(only_audio=True).first()
out_file = t.download(output_path='C:\Users\Ethan\PycharmProjects\YoutubeBot')
base, ext = os.path.splitext(out_file)
new_file = base + '.mp3'
os.rename(out_file, new_file)
time.sleep(10)
directory = ???
directory = str(directory)
await message.channel.send(file=discord.File(directory))
os.remove(directory)

[slate swan]

ur using pytube right?

[digital lava]

yes

[slate swan]

inside of out_file, u can already define a filename

[digital lava]

sorry, i dont understand

[slate swan]

using t.default_filename

await message.channel.send(file=discord.File(out_file))

[digital lava]

ok ill try that

[slate swan]

os.remove(f'path_to_download/{yt.default_filename}`)

[slate swan]

im not gonna write it all out for you. you already know how, just use the docs.

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/posajevile

^ this is the error i get after removing the handler

[slate swan]

im pretty sure ur purging the interaction itself

and ur using ctx soooo

[ionic garden]

what should i do?

[south coyote]

post your code to that shared space and ill look at it

anybody know why some slash commands are persisting in the menu when i have removed them from the bot

?

do i need to reset the token and log in again?

[slate swan]

did you sync your commands afterwards

[south coyote]

yeah

[slate swan]

supposed to be instant but they do still take some time in some instances ive seen

[south coyote]

gotcha

yeah because i run this every time in every bot

import discord
from discord import app_commands

MY_GUILD = discord.Object(id=935395948727779328)

class MyBot(discord.Client):
    def __init__(self, *, intents: discord.Intents):

client = MyBot(intents=intents)

@client.event
async def on_ready():
    print(f'Logged in as {client.user} (ID: {client.user.id})')
    print('------')

that's kinda my boilerplate more or less

[slate swan]

nope rule number 6. if you would have read the rules

[plush barn]

deleted

[slate swan]

dmed you a server that is tech savy and allows such advertisements

[plush barn]

yes, thank you very much

[south coyote]

hey

how do you guys do

how do you prevent this erros

is it the self.value=...

do i need to set that to False after the interaction?

[vocal snow]

you're responding to an interaction twice which you can't do

it would be helpful to see the code of that view

[mighty pilot]

You can get around that by sending the first response as a response, and any subsequent message as interaction.channel.send()

As long as you're not trying to use ephemeral

[south coyote]

if you don't mind here it is...

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

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

Thanks in advance

so interaction.channel.send(view = button_view())

[mighty pilot]

It looks like the problem is your edit_message() line where if they already have the role it tries to send the view again. I don't think you can do that with an ephemeral message for 1. And 2, you shouldn't need to since you never self.stop() so the original buttons should still work after they've been interacted with

Also, to make it easier on yourself, you could just use {role} instead of {interaction.guild.get_role()} inside your text lines since you've already grabbed the role

[south coyote]

so take away ephemeral and problem solved

yeah?

[mighty pilot]

Not exactly

It would probably still give you the error. If you want to edit that response you should send it with something like msg = interaction.response.send_message() then edit it with msg.edit(view=view)

[south coyote]

now why do you have to make the command a variable? im just curious

[mighty pilot]

Makes it easier. iirc the other way is to grab the message by ID then edit it that way. I also just found this though

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/interactions/api.html?highlight=message edit#discord.InteractionMessage.edit

[naive briar]

!d discord.InteractionResponse.send_message - it doesn't return the message, so no, you can't edit that way

[unkempt canyon]

discord.InteractionResponse.send\_message

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

Responds to this interaction by sending a message.

[mighty pilot]

Whatttt that's wack

[south coyote]

await interaction.response.send_message(view=None)

[mighty pilot]

This should work then to edit it?

[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.

[mighty pilot]

Why does it always seem like there's 7 answers that might work but only one of them does lol

Back to the shadows I go

[south coyote]

hmmm

[south coyote]

this one works?

[south coyote]

tell me about it. i know what you mean'

[slate swan]

is d.py supported now?

[glad cradle]

this edits the first interaction response sent

only the interaction response

[south coyote]

is this what you mean?

Send it see if it works

It should

Should work with ephemeral messages even

send messages

what permissions does it need anybody know?

nope

gdmit

[honest shoal]

Are you talking with yourself

[south coyote]

not anymore 😉

[brazen raft]

Also manage users maybe

And you can't manage a user that is above the bot in the member hierarchy

And you also can't manage roles above the bot's highest role in the role hierarchy

[south coyote]

ahhh

so maybe it doesn't work since im admin and the role is lower than that

so what roles does it look like it needs just send messages

and manage roles

manage messages

read message history

use slash commands and thats it

i wonder if that's enough or too much

i got bot and application.commands scopes

[mighty yarrow]

@mighty pilot what is rename every member code

[south coyote]

that stuff doesn't work

if i have OG status as admin it tells me that i have that role already

but if i don't have OG role it says application didn't respond and the traceback says permissions error

[naive briar]

Is that role above the bot's role

[south coyote]

let me check

yeah that was part of it. but it still not disappearing according to my tester

yeah i have that

it has manage_roles perms

[slate swan]

@naive briar do u know nextcord

[south coyote]

yup

hey
i am working on embed and i want to add user name in title

[south coyote]

got that

why do you use nextcord?

oke sir

actuly i am myself confuse with code coz there are many commands now

wait let me send it as soon as possible

in this i am trying to get the username of the person who send the command message
and put that message in dict title3
but its showing me eorro

[upbeat gust]

Set defaults to the params

[lofty lance]

what is params

[upbeat gust]

The args that the function/command takes

like title, desc

set defaults

[lofty lance]

but what if he want to skip it

[upbeat gust]

..that's why you set defaults

[barren plinth]

how to put the embeds in one message?

its a list so it sends as a list and more than one message

[upbeat gust]

I barely understand what you're saying

[barren plinth]

    @commands.command()
    async def kicks(self, ctx, arg=None):
        user_limit = arg



        if arg == None:
            async for kicks in ctx.guild.audit_logs(action=discord.AuditLogAction.kick):
                em1 = discord.Embed(title="Kicks", description=f'{kicks.user.mention} kicked {kicks.target.mention}')
                await ctx.send(embed=em1)

        else:
            async for entry in ctx.guild.audit_logs(action=discord.AuditLogAction.kick, limit=int(user_limit)):
                em = discord.Embed(title="Kicks", description=f'{entry.user.mention} kicked {entry.target.mention}')
                await ctx.send(embed=em)

since discord.AuditLogAction.kick is a list i want it to be sent in one single message

[upbeat gust]

Add the embeds to a list, then send one message at the end

use the embeds kwarg instead of embed

[barren plinth]

discord.embeds?

[upbeat gust]

I said, 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).

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 v3.11)") 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 v3.11)") of [`Embed`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Embed "discord.Embed") objects. **Specifying both parameters will lead to an exception**.

[upbeat gust]

See the embeds keyword argument? It takes a list instead of one Embed

[barren plinth]

where should i use embeds argument?

[vocal snow]

^ in the send method

[upbeat gust]

use the embeds kwarg instead of embed

it sends that error when the embed has 3 elements

i know how many people i have kicked from the server

whats the code of rename every member in server

[upbeat gust]

I trust discord.py more than you

I'm not gonna give you code

and why do you need this?

[mighty yarrow]

cuz im making discord bot

[upbeat gust]

obviously

[mighty yarrow]

can u give me btw

i really need this

[upbeat gust]

No

Do it yourself, I can give resources

But answer this first

Otherwise, rule 5

it two message not one

[mighty yarrow]

wdym rule 5

its just rename

Does anyone know how to get all channels in a certain category

Like:

category:
  channel-1
  channel-2
  channel-3

for channel in category:
  print(category)

output:
  channel-1
  channel-2
  channel-3

[upbeat gust]

?d discord.CategoryChannel.channels

!d discord.CategoryChannel.channels

[unkempt canyon]

discord.CategoryChannel.channels

property channels```
Returns the channels that are under this category.

These are sorted by the official Discord UI, which places voice channels below the text channels.

it only does

await ctx.send(ctx.channel.id)

wondering what am i doing wrong

[upbeat gust]

Replit moment

[loud junco]

ikr

but how do i fix it

[upbeat gust]

No idea, do you have logging?

[loud junco]

i dont have an error handler
and there is nothing in the log

the only output is the channel id

[loud junco]

aight i figured it out

the value inside db[] must be a string

so str(f'{ctx.channel.id}') works

[upbeat gust]

but f'{ctx.channel.id}' is a string

[loud junco]

its an integer

[rugged shadow]

an f-string is a string

[upbeat gust]

???

[loud junco]

i mean the datatype of the id

[upbeat gust]

>>> type(f'{123}')
<class 'str'>```

[loud junco]

not 123

the id returned from the api

[rugged shadow]

yep, but in this context it's being placed into an f-string, so it's a string

[loud junco]

:/

lemme try

[upbeat gust]

how is that any different

[rugged shadow]

also, you could just do str(ctx.channel.id)

[upbeat gust]

you could also just use a real db

[loud junco]

oo ya

[rugged shadow]

i think the JSON returned from the API is actually a string too

[upbeat gust]

ids are ints

[rugged shadow]

yeah they are

but aren't they strings because of JSON limitations

[loud junco]

oo its strings

[rugged shadow]

i assume they were talking about the discord api?

[upbeat gust]

json limits keys to strings, not values

how is the api even relevant here

[upbeat gust]

i have no idea what this guy is on about

[rugged shadow]

yeah, idk either :P

[rugged shadow]

but it's replit

[upbeat gust]

have fun dealing with replit bs

[rugged shadow]

i mean i guess they could use sqlite

i'm not sure if that conforms to your definition of "real db"

[loud junco]

my bot is a small one so replit db should be good enough

[upbeat gust]

why wouldn't it? sqlite is a perfectly fine db

[upbeat gust]

look where its gotten you so far

[loud junco]

i mean

i have another bot using this too

its working perfectly

maybe its because im trying to make the value a dictionary?

it works if its a string

alright back to square 1
screw dictionary

DRY rule be like

[cerulean folio]

Okay I did this:

class GameButton(Button):
    def __init__(self, ctx, style, label, game):
        super().__init__(style=style, label=label)

    async def callback(self, interaction, button, ctx):
        if interaction.user == ctx.author:
            self.clear_items()
            await interaction.response.edit_message(content=f'Game selected: {GameButton.label}', view = self)
            self.value = GameButton.label
            self.stop()

However it tells me that it cannot access clear_items() and stop() for GameButton. I don't know if what I did is correct because I have no idea what i'm doing i'm trying to figure out by messing with it lol

[upbeat gust]

why do you have ctx now

[upbeat gust]

what is Button.clear_items() supposed to do?

clear_items and stop are methods of View

[cerulean folio]

Ahhhh so this is why it isn't functionning !
I'm confused between making a button by subclassing a view and making a button by subclassing a button I apologise, lemme play with it again

[upbeat gust]

not sure what youd do instead though sorry

[slate swan]

discord.py when no default error handling in views

[winged linden]

Can someone help me with submitting data to a database using SQLite and discordpy

    SqlCode = (f"""INSERT INTO Database1 ("UUID", "Username", "Amount Donated")
#VALUES ("{UUIDp}", "{username}", "{donation}" ;""")
#)

    # Setup a connection with our database file
    connection = sqlite3.connect("Database.db")

#    Create a cursor for the database to execute statements
    cursor = connection.cursor()

    # Execute a statement
    cursor.execute(SqlCode)

    # Save + close the database, never skip this
    # or nothing will be saved!
    connection.commit()
    connection.close()

I found an example online

But im a little confused on the formatting when executing the code

[slate swan]

OwO bot coding language= python?

[winged linden]

if you see the sqlcode variable theres a lot of speech marks and im a little confused on where the speech marks are meant to go

[slate swan]

this is worst way of using insert queries

!sql-fstrings

[unkempt canyon]

SQL & f-strings
Don't use f-strings (f"") or other forms of "string interpolation" (%, +, .format) to inject data into a SQL query. It is an endless source of bugs and syntax errors. Additionally, in user-facing applications, it presents a major security risk via SQL injection.

Your database library should support "query parameters". A query parameter is a placeholder that you put in the SQL query. When the query is executed, you provide data to the database library, and the library inserts the data into the query for you, safely.

For example, the sqlite3 package supports using ? as a placeholder:

query = "SELECT * FROM stocks WHERE symbol = ?;"
params = ("RHAT",)
db.execute(query, params)

Note: Different database libraries support different placeholder styles, e.g. %s and $1. Consult your library's documentation for details.

See Also
• Extended Example with SQLite (search for "Instead, use the DB-API's parameter substitution")
• PEP-249 - A specification of how database libraries in Python should work

[slate swan]

use this

!def

[unkempt canyon]

Did you mean ...

» mutable-default-args
» defaultdict

[slate swan]

Means ?

[slate swan]

just ask in their support server, most probably not

!else

[unkempt canyon]

for-else

In Python it's possible to attach an else clause to a for loop. The code under the else block will be run when the iterable is exhausted (there are no more items to iterate over). Code within the else block will not run if the loop is broken out using break.

Here's an example of its usage:

numbers = [1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11]

for number in numbers:
    if number % 2 == 0:
        print(f"Found an even number: {number}")
        break
    print(f"{number} is odd.")
else:
    print("All numbers are odd. How odd.")

Try running this example but with an even number in the list, see how the output changes as you do so.

[winged linden]

little confused on this

could you explain in more detail please

[slate swan]

Python so confusing language
I think this easy but so hard

[slate swan]

you use ? instead of the argument values
and then pass in a tuple in the execute statement with the query which will replace the values

[winged linden]

My SQL code looks more like this though

INSERT INTO "Database1" ("UUID", "Username", "Amount Donated")
VALUES ("exampleuuid", "exampleusername", "500k" )

So the top half would be my query

[slate swan]

Oh sorry this discord support channel

[winged linden]

Still confused on how this matches up to my code

Where would the place holder go

[slate swan]

what db are you using

[winged linden]

SQlite

[slate swan]

values = ("arg1 value", "arg 2 value")
cursor.execute(
  """insert into table_name
  ( argument1, argument2 )
  values ( ?, ? )""", values
)

[winged linden]

I think I get it a little

values (UUID, Username, Amount Donated)
cursor.execute(
  """insert into Database1
  (UUID, Username, Amount Donated)
  values ( ?, ?, ?)""", values
)  

Is that how it would work in my instance

[slate swan]

the number of ? will be same as the number of arguments

yes

[winged linden]

Yeah I realised that

[slate swan]

also "Amount donated" won't be a valid column name when you will create the table

might use amount_donated

[winged linden]

Previously I just did "Amount Donated" to specify it

I should probably just change it to amount tbh

Unnecessarily making it more complicated by adding a space

[winged linden]

I connect to the database using the same method though right?

[slate swan]

well no, you shouldn't be using sqlite3 for a discord bot

i mean the module

!pip aiosqlite use this instead

[unkempt canyon]

aiosqlite v0.17.0

asyncio bridge to the standard sqlite3 module

[winged linden]

Oh

[slate swan]

everything remains same you'll just have to await some stuff

[winged linden]

I just have to await the closing lines?

and commiting

Ohh I see

[slate swan]

open the link it has examples

[winged linden]

do I have to install it via pip or can I just import aiosqlite

[slate swan]

pip install it

[cerulean folio]

eh ><

i know right

I'm trying to climb the learning curve of object oriented programming, feels like climbing himalaya ngl

[slate swan]

users.pop(users.index(bot.user))
i am using cogs, what do i change instead of bot?

[slate swan]

you can override the on_error method of view class to raise errors

!d discord.ui.View.on_error

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ui.View.on\_error

await on_error(interaction, error, item, /)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

A callback that is called when an item’s callback or [`interaction_check()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.ui.View.interaction_check "discord.ui.View.interaction_check") fails with an error.

The default implementation logs to the library logger.

[slate swan]

raise the error or do anything you want to

[slate swan]

??

[cerulean folio]

lemme understand how to subclass a button and use callbacks correctly first lol

[slate swan]

if its a command you can just do ctx.bot

[cerulean folio]

i'm so lost in this, I'll do error handling and type hinting when I finish basic skeleton of the program

[slate swan]

its a slash command

[slate swan]

interaction.client

oh thanks

[slate swan]

good luck with that!!

[cerulean folio]

tyyy sarth you so sweet and helpfull :D

[slate swan]

yw :)

@commands.slash_command(name="create")
AttributeError: module 'nextcord.ext.commands' has no attribute 'slash_command'

[cerulean folio]

Ok so let me break it down:
A button has a label, a style, a custom id, and a value. I can pass ctx to it for extra context manipulation. Is that correct?

class GameButton(Button):
    def __init__(self, label, ctx):
        super().__init__(label=label, style=game_button_style)
        self.custom_id = label
        self.ctx = ctx

    async def callback(self, interaction, button):
        if interaction.user == self.ctx.author:
            await interaction.response.edit_message(content=f'Game selected: {GameButton.label}', view = self)
            self.value = button.label

Although this callback function is working when I copy pasted some working code in my current online version of the bot and it's working fine. but idk how to do this with the button subclass it's driving me crazy lol

[slate swan]

well this is a Button subclass this code works right?

[cerulean folio]

Actually... it doesn't

Lemme show you my old code that works

[slate swan]

did you subclass Button or ui.Button

Cause you need to sublass ui.Button

[cerulean folio]

async def select_game(ctx, bot):
  class GameView(View):
      def __init__(self):
          super().__init__(timeout=None)
          self.value = None
          
      @discord.ui.button(label='Genshin', style=discord.ButtonStyle.blurple)
      async def genshin_callback(self, interaction, button):
        if interaction.user == ctx.author:
          self.clear_items()
          await interaction.response.edit_message(content='Game selected: Genshin', view = self)
          self.value = 'Genshin'
          self.stop()

      @discord.ui.button(label='Roblox', style=discord.ButtonStyle.blurple)
      async def roblox_callback(self, interaction, button):
        if interaction.user == ctx.author:
          self.clear_items()
          await interaction.response.edit_message(content='Game selected: Roblox', view = self)
          self.value = 'Roblox'
          self.stop()

  view = GameView()
  msg = await ctx.send('What **game** is it?', view = vie

[slate swan]

and the callback doesn't take an button argument when you're subclassing

[cerulean folio]

This thing works but I have no idea what it is I just copy pasted it. Now that I'm recoding my bot to make it clean code I'm diving into these complex OOP

[patent wagon]

how do i make my bot mention another user when i preform a comand

[cerulean folio]

Oh I see, so I'm instanciating the wrong class you mean? :o

[slate swan]

yes, the class should be discord.ui.Button, not discord.Button and the callback should be like this ```py
async def callback(self, inter): ...

Traceback (most recent call last):

The callback associated with this UI item.

This can be overridden by subclasses.

[winged linden]

@slate swan aswell as installing via pip do i also need to import aiosqlite

[slate swan]

don't copy paste code, it's better this way
ive copy pasted parts of my own code and still made stupid errors while doing it lol

how do i make my bot mention another user when i preform a comand

[slate swan]

[eager portal]

hello, how can I make a discord py Slash Command to clear messages such as /purge 50 I'm using discord.Interactions

[cerulean folio]

from discord.ui import View, Button

It's this button that's taken as a class in Class GameButton(Button), Button and ui.Button are the same thing ig, maybe you're talking about button with lowercase b which is a method? :o

ohhh wait you're right !

[slate swan]

Button and ui.Button are related but different:p
your issue was the callback ig

[cerulean folio]

maybe I was taking the wrong Button class :o

[slate swan]

!d discord.TextChannel.purge

[unkempt canyon]

discord.TextChannel.purge

await purge(*, limit=100, check=..., before=None, after=None, around=None, oldest_first=None, bulk=True, reason=None)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Purges a list of messages that meet the criteria given by the predicate `check`. If a `check` is not provided then all messages are deleted without discrimination.

You must have [`manage_messages`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Permissions.manage_messages "discord.Permissions.manage_messages") to delete messages even if they are your own. Having [`read_message_history`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Permissions.read_message_history "discord.Permissions.read_message_history") is also needed to retrieve message history.

Changed in version 2.0: The `reason` keyword-only parameter was added.

Examples

Deleting bot’s messages...

[slate swan]

interaction.channel.purge

[eager portal]

thank you

[slate swan]

!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]

!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.

[eager portal]

is the limit how many messages it will delete? or how many it will stop at? How can i make it remove x number of messages

[slate swan]

you can't delete messages older than 4weeks

[cerulean folio]

yeah you're right, although I just checked and it took the correct button class. I changed it anyways to GameButton(discord.ui.Button) for more code clarity

[slate swan]

there was some limit like that

[slate swan]

yeah great now test that code

[eager portal]

how could I make it remove say 50 messages though?

like /purge 50

[slate swan]

yeah, easily

won't suggest using any limit higher than that tho

it can ratelimit your application

if used too many times together

[cerulean folio]

Thing is that I want that button to trigger the removal of all buttons attached to its message and edit the message and return a value when clicked. Can all this be in the button callback?

[slate swan]

well self is already your button no

[eager portal]

how do I go about doing that though?

await i.channel.purge(bulk=True,check=False,limit=100)
```` like this?

[winged linden]

I keep getting an error telling me the table does not exist despite me manually making the table on SQlite

[slate swan]

yeah that should work

[eager portal]

but how many would It delete?

[slate swan]

did you connect to the right database

[winged linden]

yep

[slate swan]

100

[eager portal]

ohh so the limit is what it deletes?

[winged linden]

is it fine that the database file is in a seperate file to the discord py file

[slate swan]

you just need to use the correct path, it can be anywhere

[slate swan]

yessir

[cerulean folio]

then what's that callback function for? just returning a value I assume? that value gets captured by the view and with the view I can edit the message and remove buttons? am I getting it correctly?

[winged linden]

I used

async with aiosqlite.connect("Database.db") as db:

[slate swan]

its for doing something when that hutton is clicked

*button

[slate swan]

this will create a database file named Database.db in the same directory as the bot and use it

[cerulean folio]

what's the range of things I can do inside that callback I'm confused, could you give me an example of what i can and cannot do please sarth?

[winged linden]

Oh... How do I get it to use an already created database

[slate swan]

you have an interaction object there, so you can basically do anything that you can do with an interaction

[cerulean folio]

Oh alright I'll check docs ty sarth :D

[slate swan]

provide the path of your database file instead of Database.db

[slate swan]

no worries, its mostly responding the interactions or editing stuff

[winged linden]

Like C:\User\ etc

[winged linden]

Do I add \Database.db at the end aswell

[slate swan]

no

[winged linden]

Oh

[slate swan]

just the path pointing to that db

[winged linden]

Right now the path points to the folder the file is in

So I assumed I should add \database.db

[slate swan]

it should be rhe database file's name

[winged linden]

I got it

Also the database is literally called Database.db lol

[winged linden]

?

async with aiosqlite.connect("C:\Users\Fiery\OneDrive\Desktop\AtomProjects\HyperionFund Discord Bot\Databases\Database.db") as db:

[patent wagon]

how do i make it so that every 10 minutes the bot auto preforms one of its commands

[slate swan]

probably just use some sort of loop and await asyncio.sleep()

dunno if there's a better way or not

[winged linden]

Oh I think I found the issue

[naive briar]

this still doesn't work and I don't know why, although I feel i'm getting closer :D

[slate swan]

no use tasks.loop, the way i said is bad and I forgot tasks.loop is a thing

[shrewd apex]

use the deco why are u using the button class

!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.

[shrewd apex]

use this

[cerulean folio]

I'm using this already, although it makes code very long and redundant. I have been recommended to subclass the discord.ui.Button class so my code is clearer and less repetitive and shorter ^^

[shrewd apex]

...

[naive briar]

That makes it even more messy if you ask me

But you do you

[cerulean folio]

wait a minute I think I understand what you mean

[shrewd apex]

https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/tree/master/examples/views this is what dpy recommends

[cerulean folio]

I'm not understanding anything of OOP it's so hard lol

[winged linden]

I am currently trying to fetch data from an api however I need my code to not run if it returns they use an invalid username. If an invalid username is used to api will return one of two things, either {"error":"Player does not exist"} or {"error":"Invalid username or UUID!"}

async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session:
        async with session.get(f'https://api.slothpixel.me/api/players/{username}') as resp:
            player = await resp.json()
            print(player)
            if player == "{"error":"Invalid username or UUID!"}" or player == "{"error":"Player does not exist"}":
                await interaction.response.send_message("Incorrect username entered please try again")

Im confused because what it returns contains speech marks therefore it messes up when i try to declare it

[marble pilot]

.json() returns a dict. Why are u checking a string

[patent wagon]

what is .Cog?

[winged linden]

a dict?

[marble pilot]

Yes? Json data are translated to a dicf

Dict*

[hushed galleon]

the callback itself cant return any value, but the button has a .view property which will allow you to assign the value of the view like you once did before

[winged linden]

I do not know what a dict is

but how would I check for it

[marble pilot]

Dictionary.

[winged linden]

oh

[marble pilot]

Just check for the dict itself :p

[winged linden]

No clue how lol

[hushed galleon]

@cerulean folio for example: ```py
class MyButton(discord.ui.View):
def init(self, name):
super().init(label=name)

async def callback(self, interaction):
    # do your response, and then:
    self.view.value = self.label```

i would also still suggest adding an interaction_check() to your GameView to make sure its the same author, removing the need for ctx in your button

[marble pilot]

Uh if player == {...}

[winged linden]

I need to check for a specific value rather than if its a dict or not

AHH

[cerulean folio]

A message contains a view, the view is the class that contains the buttons to be pressed am I wrong?
I don't get how you make a view be a button, i'm confused i apologise

[hushed galleon]

the button itself has a reference to the view its added to

[marble pilot]

Uhm
