So for example ```py
if player == {"Invalid username or UUID!"} or player == {"error":"Player does not exist"}:

marble pilot
#

Yeh

winged linden
#

?

#

alright thanks

cerulean folio
#

alrght thanks for these clarification, I'll mess around with my code and try to figure it out x.x

#

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.")

#

Take a look at the last solution

#

Its cleaner than repeating conditions

#

and if you dont need too much customization over the GameButtons, you can pass your view a list of strings and then instantiate the buttons during init

#

just minor refactoring

cerulean folio
#

Ok in the discord.py documentation it says I have to pass children to this class which represents a list of item, which could be buttons. So when I try to build it it raises errors I don't understand. Can you explain me what I missunderstood in the docs?

#

assuming this is pycord, apparently you used ctx.respond() more than once so it returned a WebhookMessage instead of the Interaction you were expecting, and the correct method for editing a webhook message is .edit()

hushed galleon
# loud junco it works with my other command

well besides the use of the replit db which is blocking, your cog looks fine
have you tried adding print statements inside setup() and create() to see if they run? or perhaps reloading the replit page and running your bot again

this should return any kind of error right?

hushed galleon
#

the last two lines would replace any other error with a generic, non-descriptive Exception, but you would at least see something

have you tried running the bot on your computer?

what are the docs for waiting for user input

grand willow
unkempt canyonBOT
#
discord.Client.wait\_for 

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

Waits for a WebSocket event to be dispatched.

This could be used to wait for a user to reply to a message, or to react to a message, or to edit a message in a self-contained way.

The `timeout` parameter is passed onto [`asyncio.wait_for()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#asyncio.wait_for "(in Python v3.11)"). By default, it does not timeout. Note that this does propagate the [`asyncio.TimeoutError`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-exceptions.html#asyncio.TimeoutError "(in Python v3.11)") for you in case of timeout and is provided for ease of use.

In case the event returns multiple arguments, a [`tuple`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#tuple "(in Python v3.11)") containing those arguments is returned instead. Please check the [documentation](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord-api-events) for a list of events and their parameters.

This function returns the **first event that meets the requirements**...
hushed galleon
#

now its an interaction object...

#

wtf pycord

#

well regardless, if it says 'Interaction' object, you need to use edit_original_response(), and if it says 'WebhookMessage', you need to use edit()

# mighty pilot Send the code 
async def some_function(ctx):

    async def loop():
        #how do i make "some_function" preform here??
        print("test")
    loop.start()```

what are you even trying to do?

import discord
from discord import app_commands

intents = discord.Intents.default()
client = discord.Client(intents=intents)
tree = app_commands.CommandTree(client)

@tree.command(name = "post", description = "Use this command to create a post in this server", guild=discord.Object(id=numbers))
async def first_command(interaction):

@client.event
async def on_ready():
    await tree.sync(guild=discord.Object(id=numbers))
    print("Sonic!")


client.run("tokenOFC")

So I'm using this for slash commands would I have to change client to bot if I want the bot to message the person after they perform the / command

slate swan

no

ah I see okay ty

it works if i put the loop in on_ready event but then i cant preform that function (that i called "some_function" in example

im tryna pull

shrewd apex
#

!d nextcord.ext.commands.Converter

unkempt canyonBOT
#
nextcord.ext.commands.Converter 

class nextcord.ext.commands.Converter(*args, **kwargs)```
The base class of custom converters that require the [`Context`](https://nextcord.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#nextcord.ext.commands.Context "nextcord.ext.commands.Context") to be passed to be useful.

This allows you to implement converters that function similar to the special cased `discord` classes.

Classes that derive from this should override the [`convert()`](https://nextcord.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#nextcord.ext.commands.Converter.convert "nextcord.ext.commands.Converter.convert") method to do its conversion logic. This method must be a [coroutine](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine "(in Python v3.11)").

Install packages with `python -m pip`

When trying to install a package via pip, it's recommended to invoke pip as a module: python -m pip install your_package.

Why would we use python -m pip instead of pip?
Invoking pip as a module ensures you know which pip you're using. This is helpful if you have multiple Python versions. You always know which Python version you're installing packages to.

Note
The exact python command you invoke can vary. It may be python3 or py, ensure it's correct for your system.

At a high level, yes that is a viable pattern. Ideally, however, the only thing the user has is access to a bot dashboard, not the bot itself. The bot exists elsewhere and only runs when a valid license exists.
If I have the bot, I can run the bot with or without a license check if I'm determined enough.

sick birch
#

you will have to host a licensing server anyway

#

might as well just host the bot yourself

winged linden
#

I'd host the bot yourself doing that

wary shadow
#

You asked if it would work. My answer, at a high architectural level, is that it would. My feedback is that I would remove the bot from the end-user and give them an interface only but that's an implementation detail and for you to design. :)

sick birch
#

users can very well just run it without the license

#

hi, im sending a get request to my friends api and im getting the information i want from her json on the endpoint, but the problem im having is i want to send all of the data as a embed at once when its done instead of sending it one by one , how would i do that?async def namemc3(ctx): r = requests.get("https://api.evie.ga/minecraft/all-3c") for namesData in list(r.json()['names']): embedVar = discord.Embed(title="All upcoming 3L/C dropping:", description=f"{namesData['username']} - {namesData['searches']}", color=0x00ff00) await ctx.send(embed=embedVar)

        embedVar = discord.Embed(title="All upcoming 3L/C dropping:", description=f"{namesData['username']} - {namesData['searches']}", color=0x00ff00)

You're using a for-loop here to parse the response. As-is you are sending the embed each time. You could build list of the descriptions here in the loop then send the embed once, using the list.

disc_list = []
for namesData in ...:
  disc_list.apped(f"{namesData['username']} - {namesData['searches']}")
# Send embed here, not in the loop
silk robin
# 
    r = requests.get("https://api.evie.ga/minecraft/all-3c")
    disc_list = []
    for namesData in list(r.json()['names']):
        disc_list.append(f"{namesData['username']} - {namesData['searches']}")
    embedVar = discord.Embed(title="All upcoming 3L/C dropping:", description=f"{namesData['username']} - {namesData['searches']}", color=0x00ff00)
    await ctx.send(embed=embedVar)```

So, instead, use some string manipulation!

description = "``" + "\n".join(disc_list) + "``"

f-string would probably work too.

#

Oh bother you discord, how do I escape back-ticks in a code block?

Anyway, build the string. Start with the triple ticks for the code block. Add the joined collection of the list. Finally end with the closing ticks.

This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Loads an extension.

An extension is a python module that contains commands, cogs, or listeners.

An extension must have a global function, `setup` defined as the entry point on what to do when the extension is loaded. This entry point must have a single argument, the `bot`.

Changed in version 2.0: This method is now a [coroutine](https://docs.python.org/3/glossary.html#term-coroutine "(in Python v3.11)").

So Im currently creating a discord bot and I have made it so that after running a command, a players Username, UUID, and amount donated is logged into a database. I now want to retreive all database records for a certain UUID via discord py. Can anyone help me to do this

cerulean folio
winged linden
cerulean folio
#

the sql request should look like f'SELECT * FROM players WHERE id = {player}'

#

you store this request in a variable and you fetch it. You can find how to run and how to fetch result in aiosqlite docs 😊

winged linden
#

Yeah forgot to say currently I have

    await db.execute("SELECT * From Database1 Where UUID = ?", value)
slate swan
winged linden
#

but how do I catch the result of that

cerulean folio
#

result = await db.execute("SELECT * From Database1 Where UUID = ?", value)

winged linden
#

ah I see that makes sense

cerulean folio
#

print the type of result so you know how to hanle it to show the results in python datasets ^^

I want to find the total number of database records for a certain UUID . Ill also want to add all of the amount donated together and store it to a variable

Some form of issue has come up

Should it not be ```py

#

winged linden
cerulean folio
#

player is the id you're searching in the database

winged linden
#

yes

#

Let me show the rest of my code to make it easier for you

cerulean folio
#

Sorry hang on

#

I forgot the store the execution I edited the code

winged linden
# 
UUIDt = player['uuid']

    async with aiosqlite.connect(r"C:\Users\Fiery\OneDrive\Desktop\AtomProjects\HyperionFund\Databases\Database.db") as db:
        value = UUIDt
        result = await db.execute("SELECT * From Database1 Where UUID = ?", value)
        print (result)
#

I was told I should put a placeholder and then put ,value

#

as its safer with sqlite

cerulean folio
#

try print(await result.fetch_all())

winged linden
cerulean folio
cerulean folio
winged linden
#

#

your changing req to the result of req.fetchall()

#

does that work I feel like it might show up errors

cerulean folio
#

Yeah the first req stores the execution, and the second will take the fetchall of itself ^^

winged linden
#

im going to name the second variable something different just incase

cerulean folio
cerulean folio
winged linden
#

I guess not but like yeah i feel like it would be less confusing lol

#

its not like it matters really i guess

cerulean folio
#

It does, a lot :)

#

Also note that for questions related to databases you'll find better support in #databases ^^

winged linden
#

im getting that same error

#

I thought it would be better to ask here since its more python based

mighty pilot
#

You can specify a row for each button

winged linden
#

Now I need to get that list of all records with a certain UUID and look at the amount donated column, grab all values in the amount donated column with a certain UUID and then add them together.

mighty pilot
#

Yea you can tell each button a row to be in

candid escarp
winged linden
#

Ok so I have gotten a list of all the records with a certain uuid but how do I get the values in a specific column and add them all together? Using aiosqlite

I've got all channels in a category. How do i send a message in all of them?

    category_channel = bot.get_channel(1038905211302973501)
    channels = category_channel.channels
    print(channels)

it doesnt just print the id's, it prints everything about the channel:

# Subclassing the discord.ui.View class for the same reason
# than the Button class :)

See this is what i'm focusing in right now. Current online version of my bot's code is 10 times more confusing

Ah, you're using a JSON file?

cerulean folio
# winged linden not really

Okay so here's the thing: Red pill or blue pill dude.
I can rather send you a working example easy to go and you're done.
Or (what i advise you), open a guide or documentation about python object oriented programming and learn it. That way you'll know what you're doing and you'll get better

#

Up to you friend :)

winged linden
#

I learn better from deciphering a working example usually.

sick birch
#

red pilled + ratio

#

OH, it's a list

spring summit
mighty pilot
sick birch
#

You want to add a user ID to that list?

winged linden
#

😭 i thought it was a serial code

sick birch
#

You'd use bronze.append(user_id) for instance

cerulean folio
sick birch
#

I'd love to clarify if they don't

#

Considering I wrote some of them :P

winged linden
sick birch
#

Which file are you looking at?

winged linden
#

Probably because I dont know object oriented programming

sick birch
#

Let me pull it up

#

Alright so the class Counter(discord.ui.View) is the most important part

#

It contains the "view", which is basically a container that holds all your buttons, select menus, and any other interactive component

#

The part where the button is actually being created is @discord.ui.button(...)

#

The function underneath it (async def count(self, ...)) is the "callback". This is the function that will be called when a user presses the button

cerulean folio
# winged linden Probably because I dont know object oriented programming 
import discord
import asyncio
from discord.ui import View

async def select_game(ctx):
  class GameView(View):
      def __init__(self):
          super().__init__(timeout=None)
          self.value = None
          
      @discord.ui.button(label='Click me !', 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='I got clicked !', view = self)
          self.value = 'clicked'
          self.stop()

  view = GameView()
  message = ctx.send('Hello there !', view=view)
  if message:
    return False
  else:
    return str(view.value)

There

sick birch
#

And towards the end, the view is being constructed and sent alongside a message: await ctx.send("Press!", view=Counter())

#

Yeah it's not persistent

#

It just adds it to the list in memory

#

If you want persistent storage, you're looking for a database

mighty pilot
#

Yea because you're not storing it in persistent storage like a database or seperate file

spring summit
sick birch
#

Yes, get yourself a database

#

SQLite is the easiest to start off with

mighty pilot
#

Then never shut your bot off lmaopika

sick birch
#

I share the sentiment but with a good guide, it should be much easier

mighty pilot
#

The file your code is run from, all it sees is what's written there when you start running it. Anything added during the course of it running is temporary. Basically stored in RAM

sick birch
#

Theoretically it's possible but a major PITA

#

Much easier to just use a database or even a seperate JSON file

#

Though we don't recomend JSON-as-a-DB

mighty pilot
#

I've heard json corrupts easily when used as a db

sick birch
#

Yes it's not meant for frequent reads and writes

#

You basically open up the python file, and get to work with nasty string manipulation

wary shadow
#

Read/writes don't scale well with json. Works great for controlled use though.

sick birch
#

Find the line containing the list, figure out how to get into the [], append your id into there, slap everything back together, and pray to god nothing breaks

#

I really don't recommend it

#

Even a JSON file is better

#

You probably will with the current approach as well

ionic garden
sick birch
#

Plus re-writes are good!

#

Makes the codebase cleaner and less error prone

mighty pilot
sick birch
#

Aye. Good luck.. you're going to need it :P

#

Same was as you'd do it with a button, add_view

#

Yeah you need custom IDs for all your components

mighty pilot
#

You need timeout=None in the init right?

mighty pilot
#

Discord.ui.select(custom_id=)

#

I think

jagged adder
#

what database/interface is generally recommended for bots/beginners in dbs? its looking like sql is the way to go, but it appears there is more than one type

mighty pilot
#

Most things that say sql are the same syntax. I think a lot of people use sqlite3

jagged adder
#

also, ive run through tutorials on using sql (commands and such), but they werent python specific; without watching through a number of half hour vids, is there a simple way to explain connecting a db to my project?

mighty pilot
#

Commands and such won't be any different it'll be the same thing just written in your script. As far as making a connection...

#

I guess making the connection is different depending on which one you use

#

Here's sqlite3 but it looks a lot different than my mariadb connection

jagged adder
#

do u have a recommended interface for editing/viewing the db?

mighty pilot
jagged adder
#

yeah, i wasnt sure where to ask because it related to both lol

#

Heya guys

sick birch
woeful tartan
#

I was wondering if discord.py still supports chat commands

#

One of my discord servers recently got raided and I was trying to adapt stackoverflow code from before to my bot

#

It uses a command prefix and I was wondering if that was the reason why it wasn't running

sick birch
woeful tartan
#

The goal of the bot is to sweep out users with a certain role and at some point also read the time frame they joined so it could kick people out more accurately

Also you need an interaction to be able to send a modal, can't use view=modal

#

!d discord.InteractionResponse.send_modal

unkempt canyonBOT

discord.InteractionResponse.send\_modal 

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

Responds to this interaction by sending a modal.

there's a 3 second limit to respond to an interaction, so if you're doing something that might be slow (purge can be slow), you should use ctx.defer() / ctx.typing() at the start

silk robin

hello, how come im getting "discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: NameError: name 'random' is not defined" @bot.command() async def question(ctx, message): answers = ["yes", "no", "maybe"] embedVar = discord.Embed(title="Magic 8ball :crystal_ball:", color=0x00ff00) embedVar.add_field(name="Question:", value=f"{message}", inline=True) embedVar.add_field(name="Answer:", value=random.choice(answers), inline=True) embedVar.set_footer(text="Developed by Tony12") await ctx.send(embed=embedVar)

mighty pilot
#

Did you import random?

silk robin
#

yeah

#

nvm no it wasnt lmao

ionic garden
hushed galleon
#

that depends on how many messages are requested in total and whether they're young enough to be bulk deleted

#

though, if you plainly wrote ctx.channel.purge(limit=2) and it took a while then i would be concerned

#

purge() is essentially channel.history() + channel.delete_messages() and/or message.delete()

ionic garden
# 
    @commands.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.channel.purge(limit=msg_num + 1)
        await ctx.send(f"Attempted to purge {msg_num} message(s)")
#

this is the entire command

hushed galleon
#

i thought you were using a hybrid command?

ionic garden
#

i thought it might be a problem w/ hybrid

#

so i switched to raw prefixes

hushed galleon
#

its related

#

404 Unknown Interaction would only occur for the slash version of the command

ionic garden
#

oh yeah

#

it only happened when i was using hybrid commands

hushed galleon
#

if you still want it to be a hybrid command, try adding await ctx.defer() at the start

ionic garden
#

kk

#

well it's not even showing up in the menu now

nvm

#

so it's working but like

also keeps it all together if u want to split up the lines i spose

lethal bloom
#

let's say I have a project and preferably it always starts main.py but if I run a command I want it to run a test.py

how do I do that?

cerulean folio
# 
def filter_users(ctx, msg) -> bool:
    mentions = [
        x.group()
        for x in re.finditer(
            r"{0}".format("<@[0-9]+>"), msg.content, re.S | re.I | re.M
        )
    ]
    test_digits = msg.content.split(" ").difference(mentions)

    def matches():
        yield msg.content.lower() == "cancel"
        yield ''.join(test_digits).isdigit() or not test_digits

    return is_from_here(ctx, msg) and not msg.reference and any(matches())


async def await_subject(ctx) -> str:
    response = await ctx.bot.wait_for(
        "message", check=lambda message: filter_user(ctx, message)
    )
    response.content

Here I'm trying to capture only a message that contains digits or mentions or both.
Is this a good approach? :)

hushed galleon
#

id write a single regex to check for both digits and mentions

ionic garden
#

how do i edit the msg/embed from a view?

hushed galleon
#

either through an interaction object, or by assigning the original message to your view so you can edit it later

cerulean folio
#

but wouldn't it be slower?

hushed galleon
#

if anything itd be faster, letting your regular expression scan through the string once rather than combining list comp and split together (btw difference() isnt a method on lists)

ionic garden
hushed galleon
#

when someone clicks one of the buttons/select menus on your view, you get an Interaction where you can edit the message using interaction.response.edit_message()

ionic garden
#

and how would i pass in a message?

ionic garden
cerulean folio
hushed galleon
# hushed galleon either through an interaction object, or by assigning the original message to yo...

@ionic garden here would be an example of both options: ```py
class MyView(discord.ui.View):
@discord.ui.button(...)
async def on_click(self, interaction, button):
# this:
await interaction.response.edit_message(...)
# or after you already responded with edit_message/defer:
await interaction.edit_original_message(...)
# or with the message object included in the interaction:
await interaction.message.edit(...)

# or storing the message beforehand, necessary if
# you can't get an interaction:
async def on_timeout(self):
    await self.message.edit(...)

@bot.command()
async def my_command(ctx):
view = MyView()
view.message = await ctx.send('hello world!', view=view)```

ionic garden
#

self.message isn't showing up in autocomplete?

hushed galleon
#

View.message isnt something built into the class, which is why im assigning that attribute after doing ctx.send()

ionic garden
#

oooh

#

there it is

#

stupid that i can't assign it in the constructor

cerulean folio
# 
def get_digits(msg: str) -> list:
    return [x.group() for x in re.finditer(r'{0}'.format('<@!?[0-9]{15,20}>|[0-9]{15,20}'), msg, re.S | re.I |  re.M)]

def filter_users(ctx, msg):
# Returns True if the message content only digits and mentions, and not a reference
    mentions = get_digits(msg.content)
    def matches():
        yield msg.content.lower() == 'cancel'
        yield mentions
    return is_from_here(ctx, msg) and not msg.reference and any(matches())

this filter is nice now? :D

wary crystal
#

Also mentions can start with <@!...>

cerulean folio
wary crystal
#

It's been deprecated for a while but they can still appear like that afaik

cerulean folio
#

mmmh... ok it worked it pinged me when i wrote with !

#

thank you 😊

#

I added a separate function for that specific regex. I feel i'll need it more than in one case lol

cerulean folio
#

ok so [0-9]{15,20} doesn't work since when there are two ids without separation (no character and no space between), it captures a random thing. Any ideas how I can tackle that? I don't even know if there's a fix length for user ids

jolly panther
pliant gulch
#

A snowflake is just uint64

#

It might not change but discord will eventually over the years increase the snowflake length again as the amount of users increase

I don't know if it matches with your pattern or not but it doesn't fit 64 bits

I think it would be best to use a converter

You can also always check if it's valid by doing some operations like fetching the user

is there any way to edit what's already been added to an embed

cerulean folio

#

only possible from trial and error coz recently discord added an extra digit in id so no way to predict

hushed galleon
#

tbf discord specifically documents it as uint64 like andy said, and even dpy's IDConverter uses {15,20}

#

its good enough to cut down on excess fetch_user calls for now

#

oh i misunderstood the context, yeah what asher said

#

perhaps you could walk through substring combinations from largest to smallest and only attempt fetch_user() when the snowflake_time() of all substrings are earlier than the current date?

# slate swan how

i dont really know how to give an easy explanation for it, either you write your own system for handling cooldowns or you hack together something from the built-in cooldown classes

the CooldownMapping's source code is here https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/discord/ext/commands/cooldowns.py
if you do this id suggest using BucketType.member, making a mock object with .guild/.author attributes according to the reaction, and passing that to update_rate_limit() to check if the reacting user is on cooldown

slate swan

      await c.send(f"{interaction.user.mention} Please wait for staff.")

#

this just says interaction fails

@slate swan your callback() method is over-indented, putting it inside your __init__

you're likely importing the incorrect Button class then

i tried discord_components

from stackoverflow

there's discord.Button which is some dataclass you never have to bother with, and there's discord.ui.Button which is the actual class you're supposed to inherit from

discord_components im pretty sure is dead/obsolete and replaced with interactions.py

just do import discord and inherit the class using support(discord.ui.Button)

Oh thanks

naive briar
#

Oh yeah, forgor that exists

vale wing
upbeat gust
#

But the time will be wrong anyway

vale wing
#

Yes second method is better

slate swan
#

Maybe try doing that after a member chooses something then its restarting the select menu

naive briar
#

That's your code problem

slate swan
#

how fast are u changing the icons?

#

there is a rate limit on editting channel names

#

pretty sure yeah

yea

Yeah

!d discord.ext.commands.cooldown

unkempt canyonBOT
#
discord.ext.commands.cooldown 

@discord.ext.commands.cooldown(rate, per, type=discord.ext.commands.BucketType.default)```
A decorator that adds a cooldown to a [`Command`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Command "discord.ext.commands.Command")

A cooldown allows a command to only be used a specific amount of times in a specific time frame. These cooldowns can be based either on a per-guild, per-channel, per-user, per-role or global basis. Denoted by the third argument of `type` which must be of enum type [`BucketType`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.BucketType "discord.ext.commands.BucketType").

If a cooldown is triggered, then [`CommandOnCooldown`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.CommandOnCooldown "discord.ext.commands.CommandOnCooldown") is triggered in [`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") and the local error handler.

A command can only have a single cooldown.
slate swan
#

That's a cooldown.

#

Ah

slate swan
#

U dont do it like that

upbeat gust
#

whats the @discord.button deco supposed to do? it doesnt have a function under it

upbeat gust
slate swan
upbeat gust
#

what

slate swan
#

@slate swan what ru using?

#

OH

#

idk it sorry i cant help

naive briar
#

Be more specific

barren plinth
# 
return f'<t:{int(dt.timestamp())}:{style}>'
AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'timestamp'

how to fix it?

#

code

   @commands.command()
    async def test(self, ctx, dt):

        await ctx.send(str(format_dt(dt, style="R")))
upbeat gust
#

you cant just have an empty decorator

#

use view.add_item() with a Button object

naive briar
#

!d discord.ui.Button - Use this and add it to the view, not the deco

unkempt canyonBOT
#
discord.ui.Button 

class discord.ui.Button(*, style=<ButtonStyle.secondary: 2>, label=None, disabled=False, custom_id=None, url=None, emoji=None, row=None)```

slate swan
upbeat gust
#

dt is a string

#

format_dt takes a datetime.datetime object

barren plinth
#

so

slate swan
#

lol

#

whats the issue?

#

the link button is right there

naive briar
#

Then set the row

slate swan
#

^

#

max row is 5 is it not?

#

prob because they aren't the same view

#

yea u need to use add_item

#

so the existing view u already have

#

use that to add the link button

#

i sent u an example also

naive briar
#

They don't seem to care 🤷

slate swan
vale wing
#

For loop + tuples matrix exists

merry cliff
vale wing
#

I mean instead of doing million of add_field you can

things = (("Title", "Description"), ("Title2", "Description2"))
for title, description in things:
    embed.add_field(name=title, value=description)```
slate swan
#

not sure how that would work would choosing specific channel attr tho

upbeat gust
slate swan
#

they meant pycord

vale wing
# slate swan not sure how that would work would choosing specific channel attr tho

Put them to 2nd value of every tuple, see no problem

things = (("Channel Name", channel.name), ("Channel ID", str(channel.id)))```
You can do it like this as well if you only access attributes of channel
```py
things = (("Channel Name", "name"), ("Channel ID", "id"))
for title, attr in things:
    embed.add_field(name=title, attr=str(getattr(channel, attr)))```
slate swan
#

that's literally same amount of work tho lol

#

he would have to list all the channel attr he wants.

#

u just made it look neat i guess

vale wing
#

There's only one add_field

slate swan
#

yeah but he still has to list all the attr

vale wing
#

With his method there are as many add_field as there would be items in tuple

slate swan
#

show code

#

probably didn't define the row

#

ur using python. where does the beginning start?

#

definitely not 1

vale wing
slate swan
#

what

#

wait why u adding the button in the callback of another button?

#

look at the example i sent you

#

dude you add it to the same view lmao

#

bruh

#

at this point u just want someone to write it for u. idk how u made it this far. all u do is add the button to the view. and set the row

#

already did lmfao

#

pycord is a fork of dpy

!d time.monotonic u can use this and subclass collections.Userdict and make a cache

unkempt canyonBOT
#
time.monotonic 

time.monotonic() → float```
Return the value (in fractional seconds) of a monotonic clock, i.e. a clock that cannot go backwards. The clock is not affected by system clock updates. The reference point of the returned value is undefined, so that only the difference between the results of two calls is valid.

Use [`monotonic_ns()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/time.html#time.monotonic_ns "time.monotonic_ns") to avoid the precision loss caused by the [`float`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#float "float") type.

New in version 3.3.

Changed in version 3.5: The function is now always available and always system-wide.

Changed in version 3.10: On macOS, the function is now system-wide.
slate swan
#

So i know how to do cooldown with seconds but how do i change it to minutes and then to seconds

#

Like “You can use that command in 3 minute(s)!”

placid skiff
#

View.timeout is a float and it represents seconds. if you want it to last 3 minutes then the value you should put is 180

slate swan
#

Okay

#

Ill try thanks!

placid skiff
#

If you want to display a message that shows how time left there is like "2 minutes and 10 seconds" then you'll have to use timedelta:

#

!e

import datetime

time = datetime.timedelta(seconds=160)
minutes, seconds = str(time).split(':')[1], str(time).split(':')[2]
print(minutes, seconds)
unkempt canyonBOT

print(f"<t:<{int(t.timestamp())}:R>")

What's the problem

slate swan
#

do u have an error handler?

u have an error handler right there lol

#

u gotta be copy pasting

no he literally has an error handler underneath that lmao

#

loud junco

it is a general one?

#

no u don't pass select into the callback

#

oh

#

so do i remove it?

#

that is still a error handler lol

so ur not going to get any an actual errors if the command fails

i don't think that's how u use select menus?

with nextcord

idk never used but from the example yours looks outta whack

im kind of new to nextcord ty

especially with how u define the options.

yeaaa just try to use the example as a boilerplate and go from there

youve got the idea just a little out of whack
