what

what does thatt mean

[cloud dawn]

XDDOS.jar

[rustic edge]

Not sure if this question belongs here, but it's the best fitting place on the server.

What Docker container would I use to run my Python Bot? (I'm on Synology Nas)
And how would I run it on that container?

[sick birch]

There is a docker container specialized for python applications

[rustic edge]

I tried that container, couldn't figure out how to run my bot on it.

[sick birch]

What problem were you having?

[rustic edge]

Running the file, also the mount path.

For example, I got into the Py console just fine.

[sick birch]

Running the file should just be python <filename>.py

[rustic edge]

Syntax error

[sick birch]

Type exit() first, then run it

[rustic edge]

That kills the server.

[sick birch]

It kills the interactive REPL

[rustic edge]

*container

Oh.

[sick birch]

oh you're already inside the container?

[rustic edge]

Yep, Synology

Also, happen to know what mount path to use?

[sick birch]

Usually you wouldn't be inside the container doing stuff

[rustic edge]

How else would I do it?

[sick birch]

Give it instructions on how to build your applications and run

start the container and let it do its thing

that's kind of the whole point of docker :p

[rustic edge]

Where to I put those instructions though

[rustic edge]

I know, but synology docker is UI based

[sick birch]

in the Dockerfile

[rustic edge]

Which is located at?

[sick birch]

You might want to check out the docker documentation for more information

[sick birch]

Top level project directory

you'll have to create it most likely

[rustic edge]

Im so silly

[rustic edge]

Shared folder?

[sick birch]

What do you mean?

[rustic edge]

Nvm

i just rememberd i can SSH into my docker

mb

thanks for you help ❤️

[sick birch]

Yeah, but you still shoudn't be inside the container

[rustic edge]

Yeyep

im able to SSH directly into my nas

so I can just docker CLI from there

[sick birch]

its mean to just do its own thing

[slate swan]

bruh how did u know

replit has similar issues with sqlite, it clears the data often as well
just use a proper vps tbh

[cold sonnet]

"how do I make it so" vibes

[slate swan]

ok im back

[hallow marten]

can nextcord take user input with slash commands in python

[slate swan]

yes, how? look in the examples directory of nextcord's github repo

[hallow marten]

k thanks thts all i needed

[slate swan]

need help checking if theres a space in a string in slash

[slate swan]

!e ```py
print(" " in "string-with space")

thank me later

anyone have any examples of discord py, using buttons with @bot.listen commands.

how do i send a embed w/ buttons on a @bot.listen

[cloud dawn]

What event?

[slate swan]

i found out how to make it send embeds

but with buttons? i dont know

[cloud dawn]

Why not use slash commands?

[slate swan]

i need it to send on message

i have a ticket bot

[cloud dawn]

You can just use the View kwarg

[slate swan]

example?

[slate swan]

class h(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()

    @discord.ui.button(label="h", style=discord.ButtonStyle.gray)
    async def h(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, button: discord.ui.Button):
        await interaction.response.send_message("ok its done")
        self.stop()

@bot.command()
async def ask(ctx: commands.Context):
    await ctx.send("do u want to sddsfgsdfg", view=h())
    await h().wait()


bot.run(token)

[cloud dawn]

https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/examples/views/confirm.py

[slate swan]

thats how i did it but now i have another question

when i click the button twice, on the second time it just says "Interaction failed"
how do i fix this (my code is up there)

but its not @bot command its @ listen

[slate swan]

not for me

[slate swan]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.listen

huh

read

Basically this allows you to listen to multiple events from different places e.g. such as on_ready()

[glad cradle]

are you getting an error when you press the button a second time?

[slate swan]

nope it just doesnt work

[cloud dawn]

Because you got self.stop() when a button is pressed.

[slate swan]

oh

thanks

[nocturne compass]

how do i make my bot respond to a question without using on_message?

[slate swan]

show code

[feral frost]

how can i send the message i type back ?

[nocturne compass]

i want my bot to respond to that message they send

[slate swan]

all of it also not photo please

[feral frost]

@bot.event
async def on_message(msg):
    if msg.author == bot.user:
        # if the author is the bot itself we just return to prevent recursive behaviour
        return
    if msg.content == "$response":

        sent_message = await msg.channel.send("Waiting for response...")
        res = await bot.wait_for(
            "message",
            check=lambda x: x.channel.id == msg.channel.id
            and msg.author.id == x.author.id
            and x.content.lower() == "yes"
            or x.content.lower() == "no",
            timeout=None,
        )

        if res.content.lower() == "yes":
            await sent_message.edit(content=f"{msg.author} said yes!")
        else:
            await sent_message.edit(content=f"{msg.author} said no!")```
Like this but with message being send instead of "yes" or "no"

[slate swan]

import discord
from discord.ext import commands

intents = discord.Intents.default()

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

@bot.command(name="name", description="h")
async def name(ctx):
    await ctx.reply("h")

[slate swan]

fake mm bot

[nocturne compass]

LOL WTF

[nocturne compass]

but thats a command

i just need the bot to reply to id a user sends

[feral frost]

pls help

[slate swan]

idk but try searching the docs for author

[feral frost]

? author

[slate swan]

msg.author

!author

[feral frost]

no no you dont understand my question i think

[slate swan]

oh

[feral frost]

like you do $respone and it sends a message and i answer with yes or no and it edits it to yes or no bla bla bla but i want it to send the message i send instead of yes or no to be send

[slate swan]

oh idk how to do that'

[feral frost]

ok

[cerulean folio]

class Question:
    def __init__(self, view):
    self.view = view

    async def ask():
        await self.ctx.send('Hello world', view=view)
        print('View sent with all items')
        self.view.clear_items()
        self.view.stop()
        print('View items cleared and closed')

Hi, since I'm not understanding the proper behavior of View.clear_items() and View.stop(), this case does not work for some reason.

Also there's another case where it doesn't work.
In callback functions this code won't delete the items but will edit the message:

async def callback(self, interaction: Interaction):
        assert self.view is not None

        if self.view.ctx.author.id == interaction.user.id:
            await interaction.response.edit_message(content=self.edit_with)
            self.view.canceled = True
            self.view.clear_items()
            self.view.stop()

but moving self.view.clear_items() above interaction.response.edit_message() will work.

I'm confused

[slate swan]

[sick panther]

what yall think about the new "active developer" badge

[cerulean folio]

too hard to obtain :o

[sick panther]

wdym

not sure if thats irony or not lol

[cerulean folio]

like your bot has to be in tons of servers etc

[sick panther]

no lol

you just need to have one global application command, and thats it

i mean i got a verified bot, but i chose my bot which is specifically for the support server. its just in that server and everything worked as intended

https://discord.com/developers/active-developer

[cerulean folio]

i don't see it lol

[sick panther]

reload your discord client

also had that 5min before

[cerulean folio]

oh i see

I'll check that another time tbh, I'm more worried by my code not working properly for now lol

[sick panther]

you need to edit your message with the "new" view

[fading marlin]

"You are not eligible for the Active Developer Badge" 🥲

[sick panther]

damn

[sick panther]

you can save your message in a variable, and then just call the .edit() function on it

[slate swan]

you should have a bot which has one of its app commands used atleast once in last 1 month

[cerulean folio]

doesn't work still

[cerulean folio]

let me try this

[cerulean folio]

thing is that this is inside of a button callback function editing a message that i can't really pass to it

[sick panther]

wdym

show me your code

[cerulean folio]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/eyomukagaq

[fading marlin]

I'm not understanding the proper behavior of View.clear_items() and View.stop()
View.clear_items removes all items from the current view object. !! It doesn't remove them from the message, you have to edit it to accomplish this !!
View.stop is mostly used with View.wait. View.stop is basically a manual/program timeout

but moving self.view.clear_items() above interaction.response.edit_message() will work.
Yeah, cause you're editing the message after you clear all items

[fading marlin]

Ah, I don't tend to use app commands, that's probably why :I

[slate swan]

just create one and use it once, thats all you need

[cerulean folio]

ohhhhhhh tyyyyy

[cerulean folio]

hi sarth

[slate swan]

ello

[sick birch]

what's good folks

[nocturne compass]

how to fix?

[sick birch]

Don't name your list "random"

[slate swan]

the active dev badge apparently

[sick birch]

There's already a module called "random"

[slate swan]

it was released like idk 2 hrs ago?

[sick birch]

Ugh. People getting worked up about badges again?

[fading marlin]

Guess I gotta wait a bit then

[slate swan]

i mean thats free, literally anyone who has a bot with "1" app command can claim it

[sick birch]

So not that special then

[sick panther]

honestly pretty sad that you can actually get it that easily ngl, should've been just everyone who got a verified bot gets it at least. this way literally anybody can get it lol

[slate swan]

its ugly as well, wish i could just remove it

[sick panther]

facts

[nocturne compass]

does anyone know i can store lots of numbers in a variable but not write all the numbers

for example 1 to million

[slate swan]

range

!d range

[unkempt canyon]

range

class range(stop)``````py

class range(start, stop[, step])```
The arguments to the range constructor must be integers (either built-in [`int`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#int "int") or any object that implements the [`__index__()`](https://docs.python.org/3/reference/datamodel.html#object.__index__ "object.__index__") special method). If the *step* argument is omitted, it defaults to `1`. If the *start* argument is omitted, it defaults to `0`. If *step* is zero, [`ValueError`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/exceptions.html#ValueError "ValueError") is raised.

For a positive *step*, the contents of a range `r` are determined by the formula `r[i] = start + step*i` where `i >= 0` and `r[i] < stop`.

For a negative *step*, the contents of the range are still determined by the formula `r[i] = start + step*i`, but the constraints are `i >= 0` and `r[i] > stop`.

Similar names: django.range, pyside2.range

[sick birch]

You're looking for a random number?

[nocturne compass]

yeah so when i run a command it gens a random number

[sick birch]

!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)`.

[nocturne compass]

im using random libabry

[main moth]

Can someone send me a first step code of python bot so that it reacts if i send hi for example

[slate swan]

!d discord.Client.wait_for

oh no wait sorry

[slate swan]

you can use on_message event, and check if message.content is "hi"

!d discord.Message.add_reaction then use this to add the reaction

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message.add\_reaction

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

Adds a reaction to the message.

The emoji may be a unicode emoji or a custom guild [`Emoji`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Emoji "discord.Emoji").

You must have [`read_message_history`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Permissions.read_message_history "discord.Permissions.read_message_history") to do this. If nobody else has reacted to the message using this emoji, [`add_reactions`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Permissions.add_reactions "discord.Permissions.add_reactions") is required.

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

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

[main moth]

That all does not work

Just tryed a simple send message

[main moth]

import discord
import os

client = discord.Client()

@client.event
async def on_ready():
    print('We have logged in as {0.user}'.format(client))

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
    if message.author == client.user:
        return

    if message.content.startswith('$hello'):
        await message.channel.send('Hello!')

client.run(os.getenv('TOKEN'))```

why does this now work

[slate swan]

you need to enable message_content intents

!intents

[unkempt canyon]

Using intents in discord.py

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

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

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

from discord import Intents
from discord.ext import commands

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

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

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

[main moth]

Got an Error: TypeError: expected token to be a str, received <class 'NoneType'> instead

[slate swan]

you didnt load the env

[main moth]

from discord import Intents
from discord.ext import commands
import os

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

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


@client.event
async def on_ready():
    print('We have logged in as {0.user}'.format(client))

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
    if message.author == client.user:
        return

    if message.content.startswith('$hello'):
        await message.channel.send('Hello!')

client.run(os.getenv(TOKEN)

Changed to this

[slate swan]

yeah the code is correct, but i said you need message_content intents, not members

[main moth]

Doesnt work also for me

[slate swan]

.

[main moth]

how to load it?

[slate swan]

pip install python-dotenv

import dotenv
dotenv.load_dotenv()

[main moth]

from discord import Intents
from discord.ext import commands
import os
import dotenv


dotenv.load_dotenv()

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

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


@client.event
async def on_ready():
    print('We have logged in as {0.user}'.format(client))

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
    if message.author == client.user:
        return

    if message.content.startswith('$hello'):
        await message.channel.send('Hello!')

client.run(os.getenv('TOKEN'))```

So like this

[slate swan]

yea

make sure you enabled the intents from dev portal too or you'll get yeeted

[main moth]

0hhh

[nocturne compass]

anyone know how i can add letters when using random.randint

[main moth]

where xD Didnt work with Discord.py up to now xD

[slate swan]

https://discord.dev
applications -> your bot -> "Bot" menu -> turn on MESSAGE CONTENT Intents from below

[main moth]

Got it

[slate swan]

no you can't

[main moth]

But also the error xD

[slate swan]

did you save after making changes?

[cerulean folio]

any idea how to achieve this:

class Question:
    def __init__(self, ctx, view, content, embed=None, embeds=None):
        self.ctx = ctx
        self.view = view
        self.embed = embed
        self.embeds = embeds
        self.canceled = False
        self.content = content

    async def question(self) -> Message:
        return await self.ctx.send(
            self.content, view=self.view, embed=self.embed, embeds=self.embeds
        )

    async def check_cancel(self):
          message = await self.question()
        await self.view.wait()
        if self.canceled:
            await message.edit(content=self.content, view=None)
            return True

# Inside another class:
tasks = [
    question_task := asyncio.create_task(await_reportee(self)),
    cancel_task := asyncio.create_task(self.check_cancel()),
]
done_task, pending_task = await asyncio.wait(tasks, return_when=asyncio.FIRST_COMPLETED)

I want the question() message to remove items if check_cancel() is triggered by the button callback of the view, or if the answer to the question() is right. I would need to pass the output question() to check_cancel() before it outputs which is nonesense :/

I'm kinda lost in OOP it's still new to me lol

[main moth]

yes oc

[slate swan]

do you have a proper env setup? show your ,.env file with token removed

[main moth]

how can i show it to my sqlf? I am kinda lost ik+

[slate swan]

what

[slate swan]

from what i understand, your code is doing this ```

• check_cancel called:
  • question called
  • waiting for the view to exit
  • checking if self.cancel is True
  • edit the message if self.cancel is True

[main moth]

Just meaning how can in remove it and show you the env

dont know it - never worked with it

[slate swan]

do you have a .env file?

[cerulean folio]

this one is actually working, I don't know how to explain my problem

[slate swan]

so where did you get the inspiration to use os.getenv

[slate swan]

maybe some example could help?

[pliant gulch]

I probably wouldn't do that create_task stuff tbh, you schedule the task to the event loop concurrently, meaning that your question_task or cancel_task could be executed before the other

[main moth]

Google

is there a easier way?

if yes i prefer

[slate swan]

just pasting your token there yes

[main moth]

so i can delete load_dotenv

[slate swan]

sure

[main moth]

and the rest with intent?

[slate swan]

it will stay

[main moth]

Works

thank you

[nocturne compass]

how do i make my bot respond

code here

what should i add at the bottom

[mighty pilot]

Thought I answered this question yesterday

[main moth]

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

@commands.command()
async def test(ctx):
    await ctx.send('test')

client.add_command(test)

Why does it now work if i write !test test in the chat?

[mighty pilot]

Do you have an on_message event

[slate swan]

change .event on on_message to .listen()

[main moth]

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

@commands.event()
async def test(ctx):
    await ctx.send('test')

client.add_command(test)

cant find on_message

[main moth]

.

[slate swan]

what

that's not what i asked to do at all

some1 help rq

[shrewd apex]

@client.listen()
async def on_message(message):
    ...

[slate swan]

what do you do for this

[shrewd apex]

wdym do be elaborate

[slate swan]

no

helppp

[main moth]

And than message.content.startwith? or what?

[shrewd apex]

sorry not possible u cant just put a ss and say nothing no clue how to start

[shrewd apex]

for what? just use a command

[slate swan]

user input

[silent ermine]

How do I make the title of an embed a link?

[silent ermine]

give description of what it supposed to do and error pls

[cerulean folio]

OK I solved it !!! I just struggled managing the flow of data inside my classes but I'm fine now.
Last thing is:

# timeout function of a view
async def on_timeout(self):
    self.clear_items()
    self.stop()
    await self.message.edit(content="Report cancelled due to timeout.", view=self)
    self.canceld = True

that self.message I need it and I don't find a way to get it there lol

[slate swan]

gg

[cerulean folio]

[slate swan]

show what the user wrote and multiply it and show in a embed

[shrewd apex]

pass message as a arg and make it an instance bound var

[shrewd apex]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.wait_for

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.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**...

[cerulean folio]

how can i do that? the message is created af... WAIT A MINUTE !

lemme try something

[waxen igloo]

    async def setup_hook(self):
        for filename in os.listdir('./cogs'):
            if filename.endswith('.py'):
                await self.load_extension(f"cogs.{filename[:-3]}")
        await self.tree.sync(guild=discord.Object(id=1038882741510488105))

@bot.tree.context_menu(name="Hello", guild=discord.Object(id=1038882741510488105))
async def hello(interaction: discord.Interaction, message: discord.Message):
 await interaction.response.send_message("sup")

don’t say anything about the way i sync because i’m changing it later but the app commands doesn’t work.. my slash commands do just not apps.

[shrewd apex]

message is created so pass the message in the bracket then in class self.message = message

[shrewd apex]

@bot.tree.command

[cerulean folio]

YESSSSKNGMJLZEMGLEZRGERZ%GZE

thank youuuuuu I'm so happy omg !

[shrewd apex]

👍

[cerulean folio]

I can't believe I'm DONE

I understood the whole system

[waxen igloo]

[shrewd apex]

coz its str and not discord.Message

u know what type hints are

[waxen igloo]

@shrewd apex It isnt a slash command

its app

[shrewd apex]

🚶

[waxen igloo]

lmaoo

[shrewd apex]

can u tell me the difference other than its name

[waxen igloo]

context menu

[shrewd apex]

I'll just let someone else help u

[main moth]

How can I tell my DIscord bot to address a specific person (name, tagg)? Wouldn't want to tell it by command but by another script so to speak (python)

@shrewd apex you know it, i know it xD

[shrewd apex]

i didn't get u

see if not a command u can use on_message event if not from discord at all

then u would have to make an endpoint/websocket ur bot app is listening to and send data there

[main moth]

wait i will explain it a bit more

[shrewd apex]

if u just want the name and tag then

!d discord.Member.name

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.name

property name```
Equivalent to [`User.name`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.User.name "discord.User.name")

[shrewd apex]

and .discriminator

[main moth]

I have a script where you can enter a username to which an automatic message (DM) should be sent. How can I send a DM to people in such a way that I make the trigger for the DM with another script, so to speak. Do you understand me?

@shrewd apex

[shrewd apex]

i didn't get in context of what so if u just wanna send a dm whats wrong with a command and whats a script here u need to be specific is it part of the bot or not

[slate swan]

can someone give me a example of you writing a number, the bot multiplies that number and show it in a embed?

hello

[cerulean folio]

hi o/

[main moth]

No problem, just try it by my self and come tomorrow back to you ;D

[sick birch]

hello

[cerulean folio]

self.view.clear_items()
self.view.stop()
await self.question.edit(content=self.content, view=self.view)

these don't work, but when I remove the two first lines it does... There must be something i'm missing about those two methods

[slate swan]

hello, i am turkish, do you have any turkish people, he will teach me python

[cerulean folio]

thing is that when i edit the message with view=None the view timeout function still edits the message... so I need to stop it

Also ```python
class Reportee(Question):
def init(self, ctx: Context):
super().init(ctx, QuestionView(ctx, None, 30, None), AWAIT_REPORTEE_MESSAGE)

when I use `self.view` inside this class it says that it's an Unknown argument, but I passed it to the super class so i'm kinda confused

[slate swan]

Use client.wait_for, store the message in a list by appending -> get the result within that list and use it multiply by your number and make a variable of the multiplied number and use it in the embed 🙃

aaaa

How do you get the bot to save your message in a variable

Or wtv

[cerulean folio]

class MyView(View):
    def __init__(self, ...):
        # Content of my view

class Question():
    def __init__(self, ctx, view):
        self.ctx = ctx
        self.view = view

    async def ask(self):
        self.question = await self.ctx.send('Hello...', view=self.view)

class Age(Question):
    def __init__(self, ctx):
        super().__init__(ctx, MyView(...))

    async def await_age(self):
        async def check_answer(self):
            await self.ask()
            # Other things to check

        async def check_cancel(self):
            # Bunch of stuff that check if the cancel button has been clicked, then execute code below 
            self.view.clear_items()
            self.view.stop()
            self.question.edit('... World !', view=self.view)

ask_age = Age(ctx)
ask_age.await_age()

I tried to make a miniature of the structure of my code to explain my problem. So here it seems that self.view inside Age class isn't being accessed for some reason. Why is that?

[slate swan]

does it raise some error?

[cerulean folio]

if doesn't

[cerulean folio]

i edited my code i apologise, now it's REALLY representative of the problem

I think the problem comes from

async def papa_method(self):
    async def baby_method(self):
        self.view

that self being passed to both, I assume it's the class containing these methods right? And it's the same self right?

[slate swan]

well, you are never calling those two function anywhere

code= https://paste.nextcord.dev/?id=1668046023263318
i need help with the transcript system.
So basically there both html files (refering to the 2 pictures i sent)
but the one thats like white only collects the message history of the channel
i wanna know how i can make it collect embeds, attachments, channel names, the server name/logo, and have the html file have the same colour as discord.

[cerulean folio]

oh yes yes in my code i do actually

[slate swan]

mind showing full code? self is not needed there at all

since its already in the parent function

[cerulean folio]

I'll be glad to ! hang on a second :D

[cerulean folio]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/ereyuririy
here !

so here's the scenario it isn't working:
when I invoke the command s-report, it will ask me an ID
if I put a wrong ID, it will remove the Cancel button from the first message, and send me Invalid ID with a new cancel button in it.
then if I write cancel everything will cancel. but that first message will transform to Cancelled because of time out when it's supposed to be stopped

in other words: lines 135 and 136 if you remove them, line 138 will work, and if you activate them, it won't ><

[mighty pilot]

Try to just comment out the self.view.stop() line and see if it works

Line 136

Also if you want to clear all the items from a view why not just use view=None

[mighty pilot]

If you reread what developer. wrote, you can use client.wait_for() to store the message they sent in a list, then multiply the number in that list and assign it to a variable, then use that variable in the embed

[cerulean folio]

it does

I mean... it doesn really work like i want but it works

[mighty pilot]

Self.view.stop() will make it so no interactions with that view work anymore. Best to call that after you're completely done with it

Maybe move it below your edit statement?

[abstract kindle]

What does this message mean
[2022-11-10 17:01:40] [INFO ] discord.gateway: Shard ID None has successfully RESUMED session 00ac666ecad2788ba94afebbc6086957.

I'm getting it a ton

[sick birch]

Your client disconnected and reconnected to the gateway

[abstract kindle]

Hmm

My pc doesn't go to sleep though

[sick birch]

Nothing to be worried about, it could be on discord's end

Disconnects happen a lot

[abstract kindle]

I see

[sick birch]

discord.py will seamlessly handle it for you

[abstract kindle]

It clogs the terminal though :/

[sick birch]

Well that's good

The whole point of logs

[abstract kindle]

I suppose

they should make it a nicer color than red

especially since its just info and not an actual error

[mighty pilot]

can i fetch a single role from my guild

or is there a way to see if a user has a role from just the id

nvm i think i got it with the search bar

...maybe

[mental hollow]

Anyone know why I’m getting this error? I’m can’t seem to find why..

[mighty pilot]

helps if i have correct id in the first place...

[mighty pilot]

self.input_type doesnt exist is what its telling you

[mental hollow]

which makes no sense to me

[mighty pilot]

show the applicable part of your code

[mental hollow]

well this happened with my help cmd I think so I’ll show that code

[mighty pilot]

it says the error is in on_connect

but if it happened with the help command something there is probably doing something weird

[mental hollow]

@bot.slash_command(description = "View Aziel's current commands.")
async def help(self, ctx: discord.ApplicationContext):
    if not ctx.author.id == 831118106876969021:

    pages = [
        discord.Embed(title = "test page 1"),
        discord.Embed(title = "test page 2")
    ]
    await ctx.respond(embeds = pages[0] if isinstance(pages[0], list) else [pages[0]], view = ButtonMenu(pages, 10, ctx.author))

[mental hollow]

I’m not overriding the on_connect event

so it’s using the default lib one

[mighty pilot]

does it send anything on discord? like the ephemeral message

[mental hollow]

the command isn’t even being registered

[mighty pilot]

do you have other commands that are working?

[mental hollow]

yes, all my other commands are working

[mighty pilot]

do you have a command to sync your commands with discord?

[mental hollow]

no since py-cord does that automatically

in the default on_connect event

[mighty pilot]

alright. just asking because that seems like the rabbit hole this error goes down, something not syncing

[mental hollow]

so I’m thinking it’s failing to register my command therefore raising the error

yeah

but idk what’s wrong

[mighty pilot]

im not sure, dont use pycord. im sure someone else who knows it better will be in here before too long

[mental hollow]

alrighty, thanks :) although I’ve gotta head off in around 20 mins since it’s almost 1am for me

[sweet pilot]

how'd i use async with to start the bot

documentation doesn't properly describe it

[mighty pilot]

to start your bot?

[sweet pilot]

yh

[waxen cradle]

maybe async def on_ready(), but to run the bot usually bot.run(token)

[sweet pilot]

no it's ok i got it

async with self.bot:
    self.loop.create_task(self.bot.start(self.config.token))  # type: ignore
    await self.bot.wait_until_ready()

thx anw

[waxen cradle]

how can i make this task run just once a day? as it stands it just runs endlessly

[mighty pilot]

my giveaway bot puts the people who entered the giveaway in a list and pulls winners from that list. i want to give people additional entries for boosting the server, so i add them to the list multiple times for that. how do i prevent the bot from choosing the same person twice?

[rugged shadow]

make the task loop every 24 hours

[mighty pilot]

i second this

[rugged shadow]

choosing the same person twice, as in between multiple giveaways?

or does your giveaway pick multiple people

[mighty pilot]

no, i forgot to mention i can set it for multiple winners

[rugged shadow]

i think what you could do is write a custom random.choice or something like that

[waxen cradle]

i forgot i had seconds = 1 in the loop, welp i fell like an idiot now😂

[mighty pilot]

right now its just a random.choice from the list of people with multiple entries. i just dont know how to make sure i get a unique user each time

[mental hollow]

^ if anyone knows, please ping me!

[mighty pilot]

oh apparently random.sample() doesnt give duplicates

[waxen cradle]

do you have all intents? idk exactly about your error but i had something similar due to wrong intents

[mental hollow]

yes?

they’re all enabled

[bright wedge]

where is the problem?

[mental hollow]

when my bot is started

I recieve the error in my console

[mental hollow]

^ this error

[sweet pilot]

can I run a bot in a loop provided by me?

[dense flower]

yeah i guess so

what do you mean by that exactly 😆

[sweet pilot]

rather than bot starting a async loop on it's own

[sweet pilot]

the event loop

[upbeat gust]

Why do u need to?

[sick birch]

sure just pass the loop into the loop= kwarg of your bot/client constructor

[ionic garden]

how do i only disable a

button for some users

[robust fulcrum]

Guys why i getting error
Cannot send empty message
This is my code - https://paste.pythondiscord.com/osugezezac

[dense flower]

anyone seen this error before?py discord.app_commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command 'addpoints' raised an exception: InvalidDocument: cannot encode object: <Member id=914884204926468168 name='amber' discriminator='5807' bot=False nick=None guild=<Guild id=975074982474448947 name='Primetime Flips' shard_id=0 chunked=False member_count=226>>, of type: <class 'discord.member.Member'>
Code worked on my pc but on clients pc it seems to be running into an error?

it seems like it's not detecting user "amber" as a discord member yk

[sick birch]

Can you show us your code?

[dense flower]

for sure

[sick birch]

    newData = {
          "_id" : uID,
          "Discord Name" : username,
          "Points" : points
      }

you're trying to add the member object itself to the database

it doesn't know how to encode it so it's in a format your database supports

you want to use username.name instead

[dense flower]

oh ok ill swap that and see if it works, any idea why it was working on my side?

[sick birch]

Not sure as to that

[dense flower]

hmmm

so strange

[sick birch]

Forgive me for being crass here, but often when people say something like "this worked on my other machine" or "this worked yesterday" it often didn't or the code when it did work was correct

There's no reason for a cross platform language like Python to work on one platform but not another

I'm not blaming you of course it's just something common that I see

[dense flower]

no i perfectly get you, when I said that it was more as a "this is a very weird circumstance something must have been different" rather than blaming python haha

it worked though

I have a sneaking suspicion I know the reason why it was working on mine

I already had a valid data entry on mongodb

[sick birch]

That is?

[dense flower]

and it seems like for some reason it was ignoring it because of that

idk why but its working now is the important part haha

thank you for the help, i appreciate it ❤️

[sick birch]

yup

[hushed karma]

How would I go about making a bot that on command posts a random image from an archive that I made with a bunch of images

[bright wedge]

where theses images stored?

[hushed karma]

Like a file folder

On my computer

[bright wedge]

!local

[unkempt canyon]

Thanks to discord.py, sending local files as embed images is simple. You have to create an instance of discord.File class:

# When you know the file exact path, you can pass it.
file = discord.File("/this/is/path/to/my/file.png", filename="file.png")

# When you have the file-like object, then you can pass this instead path.
with open("/this/is/path/to/my/file.png", "rb") as f:
    file = discord.File(f)

When using the file-like object, you have to open it in rb mode. Also, in this case, passing filename to it is not necessary.
Please note that filename can't contain underscores. This is a Discord limitation.

discord.Embed instances have a set_image method which can be used to set an attachment as an image:

embed = discord.Embed()
# Set other fields
embed.set_image(url="attachment://file.png")  # Filename here must be exactly same as attachment filename.

After this, you can send an embed with an attachment to Discord:

await channel.send(file=file, embed=embed)

This example uses discord.TextChannel for sending, but any instance of discord.abc.Messageable can be used for sending.

[bright wedge]

you can use random module for select a random image from your folder, and send it to a channel!

[hushed karma]

Is discord.py still discontinued?

[bright wedge]

no

you need to install the 2.0 version

[bright wedge]

you can try something like that:

import os
import random 

path="C:\\Users\\Desktop\\image"
files=os.listdir(path)
d=random.choice(files)
os.startfile(d)

there is to many ways to get the files from folder!

[hushed karma]

Alright thanks

[shrewd apex]

2.0.1

or the latest dev branch

[bright wedge]

[granite plume]

How do you add an image to an embed

[shrewd apex]

!d discord.Embed.set_image

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Embed.set\_image

set_image(*, url)```
Sets the image for the embed content.

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

[granite plume]

just tried this and

yes, i'm only passing 1 url

[shrewd apex]

url='something'

[granite plume]

ohhhhh

[waxen igloo]

How would i prevent my grouped sub commands from sending the main group command whenever i mistype the sub command?

[winged linden]

async def rep(interaction: discord.Interaction, username1: discord.user):

how do I get username1 to be specified as a discord user, im using a slash command

[shrewd apex]

type hint it discord.Member

[slate swan]

wdym by that?

[slate swan]

if ur talking ab stopping ur parent command from being executed when the sub cmd is you cant.

[hushed galleon]

you can, you just have to set invoke_without_command=True in the parent decorator

[winged linden]

thanks

[slate swan]

oh nice

[signal hedge]

Is there a solution?

[vocal snow]

Read the first line

[signal hedge]

I have fixed it But it happened like this instead.

[slate swan]

can u show code u doin something wrong

[signal hedge]

Where do I have to fix it?

[upbeat gust]

it's self, interaction, select/button

You have them the wrong way around

[signal hedge]

what should i do

[upbeat gust]

change it?

[signal hedge]

where to change

im a newbie and dont quite understand.

[vocal snow]

switch the positions of those two parameters

[signal hedge]

oh thx you

[vocal snow]

the same with the selectmenu

this needs to be self.interaction...

not self.Interaction

actually that makes no sense

you don't have self.interaction defined anywhere

[signal hedge]

Thanks, I'm a newbie so I don't know much haha

[vocal snow]

this typehint should be discord.Interaction

[signal hedge]

I fixed it and it didn't work. 😵‍💫

[vocal snow]

yeah because you haven't defined it anywhere

[signal hedge]

what should i do

[vocal snow]

I'm guessing you wanted to do self.ctx.message.edit

[signal hedge]

like this?

it's confusing for me

[vocal snow]

ctx.message.edit is the method you'll use to edit the message

instead of self.interaction.edit_original_response

[vocal snow]

discord.py isn't meant for beginners so it can get confusing if you're new to python

[signal hedge]

I fixed it and it didn't work.

😕

[vocal snow]

what's your code?

[signal hedge]

here

[vocal snow]

where are you defining self.message? I don't see it in the docs

[signal hedge]

Can you take a look at my code, it might be easier.

[slate swan]

you aren't passing anything into the timeout

you need to pass message

[signal hedge]

i don't understand it

[slate swan]

also if u check dpy discord. you will find examples

class MyView(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self, timeout):
        super().__init__(timeout=timeout)
        self.response = None # Define a variable named response with the initial value set to None

    async def on_timeout(self):
        for child in self.children: # We need to iterate over all the buttons/selects in the View (self.children returns a list of all the Items in the View)
            child.disabled = True   # And set disabled = True to disable them
        await self.response.edit(view=self) # Now we just need to update our old message with the updated buttons

@bot.command()
async def foo(ctx):
    my_view = MyView(timeout=30.0) # We need to create an instance of this class first, so that we can set the response to the returned message object
    out = await ctx.send('on_timeout Example', view=my_view)
    my_view.response = out # Here we're setting our `self.response` as the output message we got in return from .send()

if you dont understand i suggest taking a step back from discord bots and properly learning python

[signal hedge]

it's so hard

[unkempt canyon]

Hey @signal hedge!

It looks like you tried to attach a Python file - please use a code-pasting service such as https://paste.pythondiscord.com

[meager chasm]

Nah it easy you just need to put in sm effort to learn it

!resources

[unkempt canyon]

Resources

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

[meager chasm]

U can see places to.learn python for free there

[signal hedge]

thx u

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/atoremapug
Please see to me where I should fix it.

[slate swan]

U made a mistake here

[signal hedge]

What do I have to change

[glad cradle]

switch the type hints of interaction and button

[signal hedge]

not work

[meager chasm]

what is self.message

And self.Interaction

[glad cradle]

1. this part of code was not present in the copypaste link

2. you don't have an interaction attribute defined in the class and if you have defined it later than the copypaste link you should named it like interaction, interaction with the upper i indicates a class (the Interaction class), instead interaction is an Interaction object

[signal hedge]

I don't understand, I deleted the file.

thank you all

[main moth]

Python discord bot from another script address?
Hey, I have a Discord Bot, but it can't really do much at the moment, but I want to change that now. I want the bot to write a DM to a certain user with an ID, which comes from another script (Could be PHP or python, what you find better). So script 1 does a task, gets returned so to speak a Discord name/tag. An ID and to this name a DM with the respective ID should be written. Has who possibly an example code for me?

[slate swan]

where can i go to host my discord bot 24/7

[slate swan]

use a database

[slate swan]

Hello, this server is for helping with errors and so on, we do not help users with full commands only fixing errors sorry

[slate swan]

You can get a vps for really cheap

[slate swan]

where is a tutorial to do that

do i just paste all my code into the vps

[slate swan]

oracle cloud always free tier

just do research also stuff on youtube for hosting discord bots using it

[main moth]

you mean just upload something to a DB and the other script have a look up on the table and works with it?

[slate swan]

the script store the user IDs in a DB and when the DB is updated have the bot take the data from the db and DM the user

[sweet pilot]

they don't allow that in 2.0

used bot.start()

does discordpy prohbit commands.command in v2.0?

cz commands are not getting picked up

[main moth]

Okayyyy, sounds good

[slate swan]

need help with pay command in #help-popcorn

[slate swan]

what does this mean

[vocal snow]

The key doesnt exist in the dictionary

[slate swan]

im trying to keep my bot alive by adding a background task

but it says cycle is not defined, anyone know why?

[naive briar]

Import it

[slate swan]

with what command

How do I fix?

[slate swan]

Are you using client or bot

[slate swan]

bot

[slate swan]

Then take a quick guess

@slate swan your suppose to use run function not login

I'm guessing you are a js dev lol

yes

[slate swan]

client.run

[slate swan]

He's using bot not client

bot.run

[slate swan]

Yea it's bot.run

[teal glade]

How do you make a persistent UI button (one that still works after bot restart)

[slate swan]

Client is if you had variable saved as client and not bot

[slate swan]

how do i define cycle?

import cycle?

[slate swan]

Specify timeout to none

[vale wing]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.add_view

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.add\_view

did you remove the ?

now it shows that

[slate swan]

This is due to you using repl, repl uses shares IPs, and there for when other people abuse the api on repl you suffer to

[teal glade]

Does it have to be a specific message?

Do kill 1 in the console thing on repl

Repl is highly highly not recommend for hosting bots

[slate swan]

whats recommended

And I saw your bot token is public which is also a risk

[slate swan]

A vps or rdp

anyone know how to keep bot alive 24/7 on replit

uptimerobot

[slate swan]

doesnt work for me

did you do keep_alive.py

[slate swan]

You can't really anymore, repl blocks it sometimes

[slate swan]

i did this:

from threading import Thread

app = Flask('')

@app.route('/')
def main():
return "Your Bot Is Ready"

def run():
app.run(host="0.0.0.0", port=8000)

def keep_alive():
server = Thread(target=run)
server.start()

Also I'll keep repeating this argument repl isn't for hot hosting

[slate swan]

idk how to setup vps

[slate swan]

You buy one it's easy af to use

[slate swan]

which one can i buy with crypto

[slate swan]

Most of em accept crypto

[slate swan]

did you import it and do keep_alive()

[slate swan]

i just pasted all that into my main.py

noooo

add a file called keep_alive.py

and put this in there

from flask import Flask
from threading import Thread

app = Flask('')

@app.route('/')
def home():
    return "Bot Online"

def run():
  app.run(host='0.0.0.0',port=8080)

def keep_alive():
    t = Thread(target=run)
    t.start()

at the top of your code put
from keep_alive import keep_alive

ok thanks

then above your client.run or bot.run do
keep_alive()

[main moth]

How to turn off, that discord bot does react to direct message

[slate swan]

If not message.guild:
await ctx.send("whoops this isn't in a server this is in dms")

[slate swan]

like that?

oh wait

keep_alive]

keep_alive()

[main moth]

where do i have to build it in?

[slate swan]

there

@main moth why are you doing that?

[main moth]

idk, just want that the Bot dont react to dms

[slate swan]

message.send not ctx sorry

My fault

if not message.guild:
  return
else:
  await client.process_commands(message)

[slate swan]

to make dms unusable

[slate swan]

O cool

yea

I don't use discord py very often I mainly use nextcord

As I don't really trust the devs not to drop the project again

    activity = random.choice(random_activity)
    await client.change_presence(activity=discord.Game(name=activity))

ppl still dont know you can do random statuses...

[slate swan]

I do lol it's obvious

I feel like random should be built in function like js

eh

{"1031053618008301588": {"money": 1468, "bank": 5000, "totalmny": 1673}, "994474388042813450": {"money": 1536, "bank": 5000, "totalmny": 1536}, "950652516708782120": {"money": 1331, "bank": 5000, "totalmny": 1664}, "812729257968009256": {"money": 1500, "bank": 5000, "totalmny": 1500}, "1022261701850169445": {"money": 1500, "bank": 5000, "totalmny": 1500}}

economy bot lol

[main moth]

Why does it not work if i type in chat !foo test:

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


@client.event
async def on_ready():
    print('We have logged in as {0.user}'.format(client))


@client.command()
async def foo(ctx, arg):
    await ctx.send(arg)

[slate swan]

I need help with someone separating my code on repl who can.

[slate swan]

what are the intents

@main moth

the command will work but what are the intents

[main moth]

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

[slate swan]

turn all 3 on

[main moth]

Okay

[slate swan]

client = commands.Bot(command_prefix="!", intents=discord.Intents.all())

this will work too

[slate swan]

its message_content , not message

[main moth]

The is the following error: AttributeError: 'Intents' object has no attribute 'message_content'

[slate swan]

jus do this

[slate swan]

when did you last update discord.py lol
do pip install -U discord.py

[slate swan]

no, it doesn't work for him because he enabled only the message content intents, not all of them

o

[main moth]

I added all of them

[slate swan]

well here it shows only one of them, but okay

he used mine i think

wtv gn

[main moth]

yeah but i have changed it

someone says

what have i to change

[sweet pilot]

does discord require you to reinvite the bot after updating intents

[main moth]

!foo test doesnt send a message

[naive briar]

No

[slate swan]

i asked you to update discord.py and you did not

[main moth]

I just run pip install -U

[slate swan]

and what about the discord.py?

[main moth]

i mean the discord.py

[slate swan]

do you still have an on_message eceny

*event wtf typo

[main moth]

Yes i have an on_message event

[slate swan]

change .event to .listen()

[slate swan]

Ewww no f string

[main moth]

client = commands.Bot(command_prefix="!", intents=discord.Intents.all())


@client.event
async def on_ready():
    print('We have logged in as {0.user}'.format(client))


@client.command()
async def foo(ctx, arg):
    await ctx.send(arg)


@client.event
async def on_message(message):
    if not message.guild:
        await message.author.send("whoops this isn't in a server this is in dms")
        return

    if message.author == client.user:
        return

    if message.content.startswith('hi'):
        await message.channel.send('Hello!')

[slate swan]

thats what happens you watch tutorials online lol

[main moth]

xD

[slate swan]

reading doesn't hurt

[main moth]

but why?

[slate swan]

client = commands.Bot(command_prefix="!", intents=discord.Intents.all())


@client.event
async def on_ready():
    print(f'We have logged in as {client.user}')


@client.command()
async def foo(ctx, arg):
    await ctx.send(arg)


@client.event
async def on_message(message):
    if not message.guild:
        await message.author.send("whoops this isn't in a server this is in dms")
        return

    if message.author == client.user:
        return

    if message.content.startswith('hi'):
        await message.channel.send('Hello!')

[slate swan]

F string better

[main moth]

And it doesnt fix the foo mistake?!

[slate swan]

because an on_message event will block your commands

[main moth]

will change it

[main moth]

oh

[slate swan]

it does, you can either start listening to what others tell, or start reading the docs

much better than stupid old tutorials

[main moth]

Which docs should i read

can you send me some via dm pls

[slate swan]

https://discordpy.rtfd.io

[main moth]

🙂

[slate swan]

i have a class rn so can't really, people here will help

[main moth]

okay

[slate swan]

look at the FAQ in the dpy docs

Copy and pasting = very bad habit

yes yes

[dull terrace]

Copy and pasting = very bad habit

[slate swan]

Correct

[vale wing]

69% of current bot "developers": lol what

[slate swan]

💀

How to fix?

The only reasonable way to copy something is if you understand the code

[vale wing]

With wrench

[dull terrace]

tbh when i was first starting out i'd copy code, and the only way to know if you have the code you need and which part to copy is to understand it

[slate swan]

We all did this lol

[slate swan]

this is not typescript server

Eventually we learn how to actually code

[vale wing]

There are 2 things I copypaste: weird linux commands with tons of flags and paths and js effects

[slate swan]

Bro that's repl lol

[slate swan]

wha~ thats typescript/java import style!

[slate swan]

Bro that's python 💀

its ```py
from x import y

[vale wing]

Yes

[slate swan]

Correct

[slate swan]

i wanna use ?tag lp on you so badly

O yea I'm blind I just realised

[vale wing]

In java there's no even such thing as from iirc

[slate swan]

What do I replace?

[slate swan]

?

?tag ip

[novel apex]

This is not a Modmail thread.

[slate swan]

?tag lp

[novel apex]

This is not a Modmail thread.

[vale wing]

You can either ```java
import java.util.Scanner;

Or
```java
import java.util.*;```

[slate swan]

I'm stupid

[vale wing]

I forgor the package anyway

[slate swan]

Ik but what do I replace??

Golang only has import too

[slate swan]

well, code has many issues
discord_slash is no longer maintained, use dpy for slash commands
what you using flask for? hosting the bot?
and replit is one of the issues itself

[slate swan]

Making a otp bot.

[slate swan]

lol its a RoboDanny command, the bot is not here
you'll see that often in the dpy server

[vale wing]

My method is "never give food, teach to get food instead"

That's more efficient yk

[slate swan]

…

[slate swan]

ohh I wasn't really aware about that, might have confused it with some other language

[vale wing]

Ubuntu 22.10 sucks btw

It broke my SSH 😩

[slate swan]

uninstalled, I'm using manjaro with i3wm rn

[vale wing]

Typically people who ask question "what to replace" when they get syntax error they are straight out from watching a youtube tutorial and retyping the whole code not understanding a thing

[slate swan]

I didn’t get this off some yt tut.

[vale wing]

Well what's your python knowledge

[slate swan]

My friend gave it to me and said “make it work”

[vale wing]

That's unrelated to my question

[slate swan]

I know nth abt python 😪

[vale wing]

Nice

[slate swan]

send it back to him and say "works on my machine"

[dull terrace]

[slate swan]

LOL

[vale wing]

And how were you gonna code anything

[slate swan]

dk.

[vale wing]

Ingenious way

But what if he asks to send their machine 🧐

[dull terrace]

then you send a typewriter back

with the code carefully typed out on paper

[vale wing]

😩

[slate swan]

thats how docker was born

[vale wing]

Remember how we used to code on paper

Good old days

[cerulean folio]

Is there really not a single way to get a Guild object from a guild id, no matter if the bot is in the guild or not??

[vale wing]

With syntax highlighting 🥰

[vale wing]

What do you need it for

[cerulean folio]

I need it to get a Guild object from a guild id

[slate swan]

there is not.

bot has to share the guild

[mighty pilot]

This made my morning. I love it.

[cerulean folio]

Then how does some websites fetch informations about a server they never been into?

[dull terrace]

if theyre doing that, they're doing it against discord's tos

[slate swan]

users authorize to show what guilds they are in. but i dont know of anything that shows information on a guild without SHARING the guild in some way

which if they are, olie already mentioned prob doing something against discord tos

[dull terrace]

otherwise they might have stored info from previous users from that guild i guess

[main moth]

    if not ctx.guild:
        await ctx.author.send("whoops this isn't in a server this is in dms")
        return

    if ctx.author == client.user:
        return

I do this on every command and on_messge. Should I do it in a different async function and call it from every event or is there an easier way to set it as default?

[cerulean folio]

why? they use server widgets according to their explainations

[slate swan]

what specifically are you referring to?

[dull terrace]

i have no idea what a server widget is?

[cerulean folio]

I don't mean to get critical informations about a server, just the name and the pfp

[dull terrace]

unless they mean they have a bot in the server

[cerulean folio]

https://discordlookup.com/help#why-some-guilds-cant-be-found-by-their-id

this one

[feral frost]

guys how can i make it so my buttons are under each other instead of next to each other

[slate swan]

that is something that is simply done through users authorizing that bot to see the guilds they are in

[cerulean folio]

no no wait

[mighty pilot]

You can specify a row for your button location

[dull terrace]

i might do this by piggybacking off a site like top.gg and scraping their data

[feral frost]

how ?

[cerulean folio]

okay i'll check if the widget thingie can be implemented

[mighty pilot]

With row= 1 in your button arguments

[dull terrace]

unless you need servers that are not listed publicly

[feral frost]

ok

[slate swan]

the widget is referring to the guild having a discord widget on a public website somewhere

[mighty pilot]

I know sites like top.gg you have to invite their bot to your server

[slate swan]

yup

this is a widget btw, which if the server has it enabled, its pretty simple to get the data.

[feral frost]

is there a way to store button clicks ? for example a button called 1 and another called + to like make it do 1 + 1

[slate swan]

using a db.

[dull terrace]

another easier way is in the buttons custom_id

[feral frost]

how do i store the clicks ?

[feral frost]

or how do i use it with this

[dull terrace]

depends on use case though

[slate swan]

yea probably easier this way if u dont plan on storing per user

[feral frost]

?

[slate swan]

just overall clicks

[dull terrace]

do you know how to make a button?

[feral frost]

yes

[dull terrace]

and you defined a custom id for it?

[feral frost]

not yet

[robust fulcrum]

Guys why i getting error
Cannot send empty message
This is my code - https://paste.pythondiscord.com/osugezezac

[slate swan]

https://discord.com/api/guilds/929060332880674836/widget.json which u can get this data publicly if they again have the widget enabled.

[feral frost]

button1 = Button(label="1", style=discord.ButtonStyle.success, custom_id="1")```

that id good ?

[dull terrace]

its fine if you want everyone to be able to press the button

[feral frost]

yes

[mighty pilot]

Chill there's like 9 people in here trying to get help lol

[slate swan]

idk what u even mean by this?

are u trying to use a discord bot to send stuff to a cmd prompt??????

[mighty pilot]

He wants a discord interaction to be able to open a new cmd tab on his PC to perform functions

[dull terrace]

then it's just new_custom = int(interaction.custom_id) + 1

and use that in the new buttons custom id

[feral frost]

wait what ?

[cerulean folio]

yes :D

[feral frost]

do i use this in the button callback or where do i put it ?

[slate swan]

run it in an asynio task

[cerulean folio]

That's what i just figured out

It's exactly what I was looking for :D

tyyyyy

[slate swan]

!d asyncio.create_task

[unkempt canyon]

asyncio.create\_task

asyncio.create_task(coro, *, name=None, context=None)```
Wrap the *coro* [coroutine](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine) into a [`Task`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#asyncio.Task "asyncio.Task") and schedule its execution. Return the Task object.

If *name* is not `None`, it is set as the name of the task using [`Task.set_name()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#asyncio.Task.set_name "asyncio.Task.set_name").

An optional keyword-only *context* argument allows specifying a custom [`contextvars.Context`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/contextvars.html#contextvars.Context "contextvars.Context") for the *coro* to run in. The current context copy is created when no *context* is provided.

The task is executed in the loop returned by [`get_running_loop()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-eventloop.html#asyncio.get_running_loop "asyncio.get_running_loop"), [`RuntimeError`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/exceptions.html#RuntimeError "RuntimeError") is raised if there is no running loop in current thread.

Note

[`asyncio.TaskGroup.create_task()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#asyncio.TaskGroup.create_task "asyncio.TaskGroup.create_task") is a newer alternative that allows for convenient waiting for a group of related tasks.

[slate swan]

noiceeeee

the only issue is that the code won't wait for it to complete

[mighty pilot]

So you're able to pull guild info from their default invite?

[cerulean folio]

no, from their widget

[mighty pilot]

Oh if they have it enabled. I see

[cerulean folio]

It's disabled by default so i'll try to find another way

[slate swan]

yeee i actually had no clue about it until just now lol

[dull terrace]

[slate swan]

What data are you looking for ?

[cerulean folio]

name / member count / icon / banner

[slate swan]

The invite ep has that

[cerulean folio]

i do know

but I'm looking to get these infos from a server id, without being inside it

like you'd find all these infos about a user even tho you're not friends and don't share any server

i can't believe those infos are kept so secret

[slate swan]

You don't need to be in server for the endpoint I know

i think it's mostly because of their implementations of other features that make the guilds "public"

[slate swan]

you can't get guild info without the bot sharing the guild

[slate swan]

You can

no you can't lmfao

https://discord.com/invite/python go to that and inspect requests

unless you would like to be banned by discord

its becuase its a public server lmao

[cerulean folio]

but that's if you have an invite

[slate swan]

and they have discovery enabled

[slate swan]

Fair enough

[slate swan]

Incorrect my way doesn't need any of this I made a fresh server and tested it works

[cerulean folio]

if you aren't on the server or don't have an valid invite link, you can't get them ^^

[slate swan]

you literally can't

[slate swan]

You don't need to be in server but link needs to be valid

[cerulean folio]

thing is that I can't get invite links for servers from the id

you need perms to create an invite link

so for public servers it's possible, for small server it's nearly impossible

[slate swan]

yea technically all servers are considered "private" unless they enable discovery

[slate swan]

Fair enough

[slate swan]

With my technique they need "invite permissions" or a vanity

[vale wing]

Oauth2 guilds scope

And you don't do that with dpy

[cerulean folio]

what's this?

[slate swan]

talking about oauth2 with users to get a list of their guilds

[vale wing]

https://discord.com/developers/docs/topics/oauth2

[cerulean folio]

you mean it's not available withing dpy but i can't code it myself right?

[vale wing]

You can code it by yourself but not with dpy

That's just requests stuff

[cerulean folio]

yeah I get you

[vale wing]

Depending on your application you want to use requests or aiohttp

[cerulean folio]

so that can allow me to get all the guilds from a user object without the bot being inside them?

[vale wing]

https://discord.com/developers/docs/resources/user#get-current-user-guilds

You will get access to this endpoint once user authorises using oauth2

[cerulean folio]

I see

I'll try to implement this, it sounds like a good thing

thank a lot jammy

[slate swan]

there's discord-ext-ipc for that iirc

[vale wing]

It's easy enough to done with requests imo

[golden hamlet]

is dpy still a thing

i heard it got discontinued

[past walrus]

Hey, does someone know how I would use message.author.id inside a command event using discord.py?

[ocean dragon]

NotFound: 404 Not Found (error code: 10062): Unknown interaction why do I randomly get this

I read that u have to somehow send a response to discord that you received the command and then handle it but

[naive briar]

You took too long to respond to the interaction

!d discord.InteractionResponse.defer - If it needs to take more than 3 seconds, you have to defer it

[unkempt canyon]

discord.InteractionResponse.defer

await defer(*, ephemeral=False, thinking=False)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Defers the interaction response.

This is typically used when the interaction is acknowledged and a secondary action will be done later.

This is only supported with the following interaction types...

[ocean dragon]

that's what I found but I didnt get type hinting for that 🤔

[slate swan]

its still developed and the discontinued news is old

[shrewd apex]

damn full on booster vibes

[slate swan]

go make vid

how does user inputs work on discord py

[sweet pilot]

does anyone know why discordpy doesn't show errors anymore

it seems like they r suppressed

[slate swan]

do you use bot.start?

[slate swan]

can someone help me

[naive briar]

What do you mean

[mighty yarrow]

need help with unban discord.py

[vocal snow]

Discord.py 2? Have you set up logging?

[slate swan]

@client.command()
async def shard (ctx):
  await ctx.send(embed=em)
  em = discord.Embed(
         title=f"shards")
description = """A shard is formed from a dead elemental gem,so if a lightning gem is the one that died, you'd get a lightning shard,make sure to read the info on shards in the wiki to understand better
But what you need to know is below 

Grades and prices
Grade 1(x5 boost):2 diamonds
Grade 2(x7 boost):3 diamonds
Grade 3(10x boost):5 diamonds"""  
em.set_thumbnail(url ="a gif url")```
It tells me em is not defined idk why

[vocal snow]

It's not in the function?

[slate swan]

how is it not?

I specified what em was

[mighty yarrow]

@client.command(pass_context=True)
async def unban(ctx):
banned_users = await ctx.guild.bans()

member_name, member_discriminator = member.split('#')
for ban_entry in banned_users:
    user = ban_entry.user
    
    if (user.name, user.discriminator) == (member_name, member_discriminator):
         await ctx.guild.unban(user)
         await ctx.channel.send(f"Unbanned: {user.mention}")

[vocal snow]

On mobile atleast it looks as if em is being defined in the function locally

And you're trying to access it outside the function

[slate swan]

oh I see what you're saying

[vocal snow]

Where do you see it defined? I can't see member defined there

[mighty yarrow]

@client.command(pass_context=True)
async def unban(ctx, *, member):
banned_users = await ctx.guild.bans()

member_name, member_discriminator = member.split('#')
for ban_entry in banned_users:
    user = ban_entry.user
    
    if (user.name, user.discriminator) == (member_name, member_discriminator):
         await ctx.guild.unban(user)
         await ctx.channel.send(f"Unbanned: {user.mention}")

doesnt work also

[vocal snow]

Do you get an error? If not, are you sure the for loop and if statement are running properly?

And have you considered unbanning by user id instead of by name and discriminator? Would be much faster

[slate swan]

lucas tutorial moment

Is your unban command looking like this?

      for ban_entry in banned_users:
          user = ban_entry.banned_users

          if (user.name, user.discriminator) == (member_name, member_discriminator):
              ...

Lucas' unban only works for banning people via their name#discrim, now, this way is not wrong, but there are easier ways of unbanning people, e.g.:

# Unbanning by ID only (converting the ID to a object using discord.Object):
await ctx.guild.unban(discord.Object(id = id))

# converting the given user to a User object by type hinting:
async def unbean(ctx, user : discord.User, reason = None): 

Inspiration from d.py official server

[mighty yarrow]

but how do i get all banned members in list

[slate swan]

why do you need that huh?

[mighty yarrow]

cuz i want to unban evveryone

not using disocrd id bruh

[slate swan]

bannnedUsers = await client.get_bans(serverID)
for user in bannedUsers: ?

[slate swan]

well thats not what your code was doing.

[slate swan]

uhuh? there's no client.get_bans

[slate swan]

Is there not?

[mighty yarrow]

for member in ban_list:

@slate swan this??

[slate swan]

you'll have to ```py
async for member in ctx.guild.bans:
await member.unban()

[slate swan]

nope

[slate swan]

Bro the abuse

[slate swan]

its just unbanning members, not as abusive as tasks that update status in 5 secs each lol

[mighty yarrow]

@slate swan

[radiant parrot]

how would i remove the title from an embed and then resend the embed with a new title?

[naive briar]

Change the embed's title property

[radiant parrot]

How would I do this tho, as there is no way to re set a discord title or remove one in discords api

[paper sluice]

code?

[slate swan]

.bans()

i forgot it was a method that returns the iterator lol

[slate swan]

show code

[mighty yarrow]

@client.command(pass_context=True)
async def unban(ctx):
await ctx.message.delete()
for member in ctx.guild.bans():
try:
await member.unban()
except:
pass

[naive briar]

!d discord.Guild.bans - it's an async generator, so, use async for instead of for

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.bans

async for ... in bans(*, limit=1000, before=..., after=...)```
Retrieves an [asynchronous iterator](https://docs.python.org/3/glossary.html#term-asynchronous-iterator "(in Python v3.11)") of the users that are banned from the guild as a [`BanEntry`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.BanEntry "discord.BanEntry").

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

Changed in version 2.0: Due to a breaking change in Discord’s API, this now returns a paginated iterator instead of a list.

Examples

Usage...

[naive briar]

Or iterator if you will

[slate swan]

@mighty yarrow "async for"

[mighty yarrow]

is that even a command

[slate swan]

what do you think

2 people and the docs will lie?

can someone give me a example of you writing a number, the bot multiplies that number and show it in a embed?

[vocal snow]

you want to take the number with on_message, a command or

[slate swan]

on message

[vocal snow]

ok, so just convert message.content to an integer with int(), multiply it and send it with message.channel.send

[mighty yarrow]

@vocal snow

is there a way to create channel with specific amount?

[vocal snow]

a specific amount?

[mighty yarrow]

yes

[vocal snow]

like a specific number of channels?

[mighty yarrow]

yes

[vocal snow]

use a for loop?

[slate swan]

can you help me first with

[mighty yarrow]

for i in range?

[vocal snow]

sure

[slate swan]

how do i make the bot save my message

like ask a question, than save the answer

[vocal snow]

where do you want to save the answer?

a simple bot which does what?

[slate swan]

save the asnwer so i can put it in a embed

https://github.com/Rapptz/RoboDanny
intermediate level source

[vocal snow]

that's not enough information, can you explain what you need in more detail?

there's also https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/examples/basic_bot.py
if you need something more barebones

[slate swan]

No I mean the abuse to other members as a joke

well it asks this, however how do i make it wait for them to type something and it comes up in a embed @vocal snow

[vocal snow]

you can use Client.wait_for to wait for an on_message event

!d discord.Client.wait_for

[unkempt canyon]

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**...

[vocal snow]

there are examples in the doc

[slate swan]

its

listen

[vocal snow]

what?

[slate swan]

@bot listen

[vocal snow]

I really have no idea what you mean

[slate swan]

im stuck at this for days

[vocal snow]

I'm just saying that if you want to wait for an on_message event to get a user's message inline you use this

[vocal snow]

umm im not sure why you sent this

[slate swan]

DUDE

wait_for(event, /, *, check=None, timeout=None)

how does this work

[vocal snow]

there is a detailed description as well as examples in the doc
