[slate swan]

hi guys

i have problem my bot is running well and all but

when i type the command its not working idk why

[vocal snow]

have you enabled message content intents?

Do you have an on_message event?

[slate swan]

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

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

  if message.content.startswith('!play'):
    await message.channel.send('now playing the song you sent')
    await message.delete()
    return```

[vocal snow]

you need to process commands

[mighty yarrow]

await asyncio.sleep(0)

[vocal snow]

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

[slate swan]

how

[mighty yarrow]

my bot got ratelimited bcuz of this

[slate swan]

ty

[vocal snow]

that makes absolutely no sense

[dull terrace]

[mighty yarrow]

what delay number should i put??

[quick gust]

depends

what u want and on what ure doing after the delay

[vocal snow]

what endpoint are you calling that you're actually getting ratelimited on?

[dull terrace]

not zero lol

[slate swan]

'builtin_function_or_method' object has no attribute 'choice'

[quick gust]

full error

[dull terrace]

if you're trying to use numpy random it's numpy.random.choice

[vocal snow]

!e ```py
from random import random

random.choice

[unkempt canyon]

@vocal snow :x: Your 3.11 eval job has completed with return code 1.

001 | Traceback (most recent call last):

003 | AttributeError: 'builtin_function_or_method' object has no attribute 'choice'

[main moth]

Could send DMs but it throws an error that triggers:

await message.author.send(embed=embed)

AttributeError: 'ClientUser' object has no attribute 'send'

what should i change

[slate swan]

the bot can't dm itself

[main moth]

and how to fix?

async def on_message(message):
    if not message.guild:
        embed=discord.Embed(title="DM this Bot is not allowed!", url="url", description="whoops this isn't in a server this is in dms", color=discord.Color.blue())
        await message.author.send(embed=embed)
        return

@slate swan

[naive briar]

Check if the author is a bot or not probably 🤷

[slate swan]

so why on message command

stopped working thats annoying

[wicked atlas]

Are your message content intents enabled?

[slate swan]

yes

[wicked atlas]

Hmm, here it looks like you have two on_message functions, but you only have one of them as an event

Just make one function

[slate swan]

check if the message author is bot, if it is then return

[slate swan]

@ bot.event?

ohhh wait

nvm

[wicked atlas]

Yes, you use that to make a function an event handler. Just make a single on_message function, put that decorator on it, and put all your code under that

Don’t make two on_message functions with bot.event, one of them will end up overriding the other

[slate swan]

async def on_ready():
  print(f'Logged in as {Client.user}')

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

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

  if message.content.startswith('!play'):
    await message.channel.send('now playing the song you sent')
    await message.delete()```

[wicked atlas]

Looks like of of them is redundant anyway

[primal token]

Why does your Client instance have CamelCase?

[wicked atlas]

Yeah, why is it different from what you had initially?

[slate swan]

i adjusted it

becs i tried to put bot instead of client everywhere

[wicked atlas]

Adjust it back, only use snake_case for everything except classes. Makes it clear what is a class and what isn’t.

[primal token]

Not for everything

constants use SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE

[wicked atlas]

Oh, and constants yes ah

Forgot about them

[primal token]

👍

[slate swan]

logging module: hold my beer 🍻

[primal token]

I still dont understand why they havent made a pr to change the namespaces

[wicked atlas]

Yeah it bugs me how much of the builtins don’t follow the naming scemes

[primal token]

it's a bit odd seeing camelCase in your python code lol

[slate swan]

it will be breaking for like almost every python application

intents = discord.Intents.all()

client = discord.Client(intents=intents)



token = ''


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

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

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

  if message.content.startswith('!play'):
    await message.channel.send('now playing the song you sent')
    await message.delete()

client.run(token)```

[wicked atlas]

Well?

Does it work? You’ve still got that second on_message.

[primal token]

Right, guess ill have to use, as😔

[slate swan]

its online

should i delete await on function?

[slate swan]

monkeypatch 🐒 the module

[wicked atlas]

On what function?

[primal token]

Good idea, i love monkeys

🙈

[slate swan]

delete and make new function? await message.channel.send('now playing the song you sent')

[wicked atlas]

No?

[slate swan]

im confused sry

[wicked atlas]

You have two on_message event functions. That second one will overwrite the first one, but the first one technically doesn’t do anything.

[slate swan]

mhm

i see.....

then ima change it to on_delete_message

i wasnt aware sry if i wasted ur time @wicked atlas

wait nvm

[wicked atlas]

Nah its good. I’m in the middle of procrastinating my schoolwork.

[wicked atlas]

Why?

[slate swan]

i got it this time

[wicked atlas]

Meant the message below it

[slate swan]

i had the same on message function

[wicked atlas]

You could just delete that first on_message function alltogether?

[slate swan]

it worked

@wicked atlas thanks u taught me something thanks a bunch

[wicked atlas]

👍

[winged linden]

Anyone know why this doesn't work?

@tree.command(name = "addusertorep", description = "Adds a user to the database for Valcarries", guild = discord.Object(id = bot.guild_id))

async def addusertorep(interaction: discord.Interaction, user: discord.Member, startingrep: int):

    async with aiosqlite.connect(r"C:\Users\Fiery\OneDrive\Desktop\AtomProjects\HyperionFund\Databases\Database.db") as db:
        values = (user.Name, user.id, startingrep)
        await db.execute("""INSERT INTO RepStorage (Username, DiscordID, RepAmount) values ( ?, ?, ?)""", values)
        await db.commit()

I get this error ```py
discord.app_commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command 'addusertorep' raised an exception: InterfaceError: Error binding parameter 0 - probably unsupported type.

[hushed galleon]

thats sqlite telling you the first value you passed to your query cant be understood

user.Name shouldnt exist though

[winged linden]

user.Name?

What do you mean it shouldn't exist

[hushed galleon]

the actual attribute you're probably referring to is .name, lowercase

[winged linden]

oh

Thank you 🙏

[winged linden]

I also have another query

I want to create an embed and I'd like it to edit the description to add a players username when the addusertorep command is run

Is editing embeds possible?

[hushed galleon]

sure

you just need the Embed object that you're updating it to, and the Message (or PartialMessage) object that's going to be edited

[winged linden]

Well if I get the bot to post an embed can I just copy the message ID and use that to grab the embed

The bit im most confused about is how I would edit the description to add the new players username

[hushed galleon]

if your database stores all the information you need to create the embed, i wouldnt bother "editing" the actual embed that the message has

you can simply recreate the embed with what you know, and update the message with that

[winged linden]

So you mean like deleting the embed message then grabbing the username for each record and using that to create a new embed?

But how would I get like the messageID for the new embed and save it

[hushed galleon]

dont mix up "embeds" with the "message" itself

[winged linden]

Would I have to save it in a database too

[hushed galleon]

yes the channel and message ID would have to be saved

[winged linden]

well the channel doesn't change so I can just make a variable and put the channel in it

But the messageID does change so I would most likely have to store it in a database and then delete the previous record in the database?

[hushed galleon]

does the message normally change?

[winged linden]

Only the description of the message will change

Of the embed sorry

Im a little confused on what you mean by does the messgae change

[hushed galleon]

if you're referring to just editing the message, that by itself doesnt affect the message's ID

[winged linden]

Yeah but wasn't your idea to delete the message and create a new one rather than editing it?

[hushed galleon]

no, i didnt say that

[winged linden]

oh

[hushed galleon]

the Embed object can be recreated, and you can simply edit the message with your new embed object

[winged linden]

oh!

[hushed galleon]

thats what i mean by not mixing up "message" and "embed", because the message can be edited to display a new embed

[winged linden]

dang makes more sense now aha

I'm just confused on how I would grab the Username for all records from the table and put them into the description of the embed

because doesn't it return it as a tuple?

[hushed galleon]

each row would contain one user name (inside a tuple), so you have to fetch many rows at once to get all the names

[winged linden]

Isn't that watch fetchall is for?

[hushed galleon]

yeah

e.g. ```py
cursor = await conn.execute('SELECT name FROM players')
rows = await cursor.fetchall()

rows would look something like:

[('thegamecracks',), ('Fiery',), ...]```

[winged linden]

result1 = await db.execute("SELECT Username FROM RepStorage")
        result2 = result1.fetchall()
        

Since I used aiosqlite

Forgor await

But then if its returned as a tuple then how would I put it into my embed description?

[hushed galleon]

figure out how to turn it into a string that looks nice

if you need help with how to do that, you should ask in a help channel

[alpine cove]

!d str.join

[unkempt canyon]

str.join

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

[winged linden]

I remember turning a tuple into an integer previously however that was only with one record

[winged linden]

Doesn't that join them all together

[slate swan]

Can someone please help me? I have the complete code for my Discord bot. It is in a .py file. How do I add the code to my bot?

[winged linden]

bot.run(token)

token being the bots token

then run the py file

[slate swan]

Cool thanks

[alpine cove]

ofc it does

[alpine cove]

!d map

[unkempt canyon]

map

map(function, iterable, /, *iterables)```
Return an iterator that applies *function* to every item of *iterable*, yielding the results. If additional *iterables* arguments are passed, *function* must take that many arguments and is applied to the items from all iterables in parallel. With multiple iterables, the iterator stops when the shortest iterable is exhausted. For cases where the function inputs are already arranged into argument tuples, see [`itertools.starmap()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/itertools.html#itertools.starmap "itertools.starmap").

Similar names: 2to3fixer.map

[winged linden]

Yeah I sort of need them to have like a space between them

[winged linden]

?

[alpine cove]

!e

seq = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

try:
  print("-".join(seq))
except:
  print("1 doesnt work")

try:
  print("-".join(map(str, seq)))
except:
  print("2 doesnt work")

[unkempt canyon]

@alpine cove :white_check_mark: Your 3.11 eval job has completed with return code 0.

001 | 1 doesnt work
002 | 1-2-3-4-5

[alpine cove]

?

[winged linden]

wait so technically could I use \n instead of - and it would print them on seperate lines?

[alpine cove]

that is correct

[winged linden]

Dang alright thanks ill try it out now

[alpine cove]

np

[main moth]

Hi short question, i want that the bot is sending something when a new Record is in Database (Mysql). At the moment i am doing it with a loop but i think there should be a better way without looping, just with listining or sth like that?

@tasks.loop()
async def verification_code(cursor) -> None:

    cursor.execute("SELECT * FROM password_forgot")
    
    records = cursor.fetchall()

    print("Total number of rows in table: ", cursor.rowcount)

    print("\nPrinting each row")
    for row in records:
        print("Id = ", row[0], )
        print("Name = ", row[1])
        print("Code = ", row[2])
        print("Date  = ", row[3], "\n")


    await asyncio.sleep(10)

[winged linden]

wait how do I get a pre existing message into a variable so that I can use msg.edit

I have the message ID of the message however I can't find the function to get the actual message object

if that makes any sense

[naive briar]

!d discord.TextChannel.fetch_message

[unkempt canyon]

discord.TextChannel.fetch\_message

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

Retrieves a single [`Message`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Message "discord.Message") from the destination.

[winged linden]

thanks

whats the / for?

[naive briar]

Positional-only argument

[main moth]

How can i do an on lookup to mysql if something have added

[cloud dawn]

Use sql

WHERE for example

[winged linden]

discord.app_commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command 'addusertorep' raised an exception: NameError: name 'fetch_message' is not defined

?

[winged linden]

does it need to be imported ?

i doubt it but it somehow went wrong

[upbeat otter]

no you'll have to grab a TextChannel object, you can do that via Bot.get_channel (search from the cache) or Bot.fetch_channel (fetches the info from the discord api itself)

also, both the methods are available for a Guild object too

[winged linden]

I have the text channel object so it would just be channel.fetch_message?

[upbeat otter]

sure

[winged linden]

Alright

discid = (user.id)
result3 = await db.execute("SELECT * From RepStorage Where DiscordID = ?", discid)

what will this return if no record has a discord ID matching it?

nil?

[main moth]

Can I send a Direct message with a Python Bot if i have only the Name with Tagg of a Person (Probably not on the same Server as the bot)

[main moth]

think true

[upbeat otter]

you must first run the fetchall or fetchone method on it
if you use fetchone and the id is inexistent, it's gonna return None
in case of fetchall it'll return an empty list

[slate swan]

Im so happy

got that too

yayy

!ctx

someone help

[upbeat otter]

what's the issue?

[slate swan]

what is the documentation for ctx

[upbeat otter]

congrats

[feral frost]

guys anyone knows how i make those black boxes inside an embed ?

[upbeat otter]

!d discord.ext.commands.Context

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Context

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

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

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

[slate swan]

you need a backtick

[slate swan]

אטטט

Tyyy

[slate swan]

thx

[feral frost]

how ?

[slate swan]

backtick is `

[upbeat otter]

use

```language
text
```

inside the description of the embed or the value of an embed field

[slate swan]

how did you make it so it doesnt make the thing

[naive briar]

!code

[unkempt canyon]

Here's how to format Python code on Discord:

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

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

[feral frost]

ah ok

[feral frost]

ok

[slate swan]

!d discord.Message

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message

class discord.Message```
Represents a message from Discord.

x == y Checks if two messages are equal.

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

hash(x) Returns the message’s hash.

[feral frost]

and how do i put it in an embed ?

[slate swan]

just make an embed and put it inside

[feral frost]

but how

[upbeat otter]

um, could you use #bot-commands for self-serving commands?

[feral frost]

i cant use enter things

[slate swan]

to make an embed?

[feral frost]

no

[slate swan]

oh ok

[feral frost]

like look

error

[slate swan]

i think you can't do it in the title

[upbeat otter]

I hate my life

[winged linden]

alright So then I could do like

result4 = result3.fetchone()
if result4 == None:
    do blah blah

[naive briar]

🥴

[feral frost]

lol

[upbeat otter]

• It will only work in descriptions or values of embed fields
• use triple quotes

[feral frost]

ah ok

[slate swan]

o_o

[feral frost]

still error

[upbeat otter]

when comparing between boolean values, it is better to use the is keyword instead of the == operator

[upbeat otter]

triple quotes not double quotes for strings

[winged linden]

so if result4 is None?

[upbeat otter]

right

[feral frost]

ye its triple

[winged linden]

Alright will give it a go now

[slate swan]

got a problem my bot doesent want to work even if the code is the same what should i do?

[upbeat otter]

those are double

[feral frost]

ow huh ?

[vocal snow]

!intents

[unkempt canyon]

Using intents in discord.py

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

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

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

from discord import Intents
from discord.ext import commands

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

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

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

[slate swan]

instead of "'''
do '''

[slate swan]

thanks

[feral frost]

ok

can you just show me the code of how you do it cuz i am failing this thing

[naive briar]

!e

print("""Hello
World""")

[unkempt canyon]

@naive briar :white_check_mark: Your 3.11 eval job has completed with return code 0.

[feral frost]

is it that

aah 3

ye now i see

thanks guys

[slate swan]

what is better to use?

class MyClient(discord.Client):
    async def on_message(self,message):
        if message.author.id == self.user.id:
            return
        if message.content.startswith("-hi"):
            await message.reply("hello")

or

intents.message_content = True
bot = discord.ext.commands.Bot("-", intents=intents)

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

[upbeat otter]

use the later one, the former is quite outdated

[slate swan]

ok thx

what

oh hi Asher

[shrewd apex]

bruh wdym outdated commands.Bot is subclass of Client

[upbeat otter]

put a comma (,) so as int(discid,)

[winged linden]

ok

[upbeat otter]

very informative but I know that

[naive briar]

Why 🤨

[shrewd apex]

then how is it 'outdated'?

[winged linden]

same error

[upbeat otter]

same question 💀

[slate swan]

so should i use Bot or Client

[shrewd apex]

client is for interactions only bot ie app commands

[slate swan]

doesent work

[upbeat otter]

you can use either one depending on the use case, if you wanna make prefix commands, you would want to use Bot

[upbeat otter]

?

[shrewd apex]

commands.bot allows prefix commands and allows cogs

[slate swan]

alright

[slate swan]

what does cog do

[shrewd apex]

meaning u cant have prefix commands in client slash commands only

[feral frost]

how can i split buttons up into custom_id ? like how can i do the "if custom_id == blablabla" ?

[upbeat otter]

Asher
🛐 average godly piece of advice

[upbeat otter]

tf wdym

Client isn't only for slash commands lmao (I know you know so)

[slate swan]

oh

[slate swan]

^^^

[shrewd apex]

it would have been better if u elaborated instead of just saying its outdated

too much work 😔 I'm lazy

[winged linden]

didnt wor?

[feral frost]

help please 🙂

[winged linden]

i defined it as integer in database

[slate swan]

trying to make commands not case sensitive and I get this error, any help?

[slate swan]

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

[winged linden]

and I made sure that user.id was an integer by doing (int)

[upbeat otter]

user.id will always be an integer by default really

[winged linden]

Exactly

[slate swan]

how is that going to work

[winged linden]

It should be an integer already anyway

Ill try it

[upbeat otter]

yeah you shouldn't need to typecast it again

[slate swan]

oh oops

[winged linden]

I got the error without typecasting it

hence why im trying it

[upbeat otter]

I totally messed up 💀 I got confused up in the parantheses hence the error again

[shrewd apex]

send ur function

[slate swan]

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
  # if message.author != client.user:
    # you dont really need this part
  msg = message.content
  blah blah blah

(im not very experienced so my apologies if it doesnt work)

[slate swan]

@slate swan

[winged linden]

its a slash command btw

[slate swan]

    message.content = message.content.lower()
    await client.process_commands(message)

got it with this so now commands arent case sensitive 👍

smart

i might steal that

[upbeat otter]

try doing

(int(discid),)

and that should fix it

[winged linden]

alr

[shrewd apex]

pretty sure its await result.fetchone() and query will either be ("", disc.id) or ("", (disc.id,))

[upbeat otter]

oh yeah

[shrewd apex]

and if it dosent exist its gonna return an empty iterable

from latest dpy version yes

[slate swan]

yes

[winged linden]

was told if I use fetchone it would return None

[shrewd apex]

lemme check the docs i dont use aiosqlite

async fetchone() → Optional[sqlite3.Row]
Fetch a single row.

yeah None

i dont think so coz if u pass datetime the task loop is supposed to run at that point in time everyday not sure if u can put multiple kwargs never tested

[winged linden]

also shouldnt it be result3.fetchone() since the variable above is named result3

[shrewd apex]

yeah await it

[winged linden]

ye i did

did not

[shrewd apex]

not really

!d discord.ext.tasks.loop

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.tasks.loop

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

[shrewd apex]

it can take integers too

i store a timestamp in db and use that in the taskloop to find timedelta and calculate

if the bot restarts the loop starts again

[slate swan]

i love making economy bots (totally)

[shrewd apex]

@tasks.loop(hours=12)
async def my_loop() -> None:
  old_time = datetime.fromtimestamp(await bot.db.get_time())
  if (datetime.datetime.utcnow() - old_time).days >= 7:
    ...

something along these lines

[sick birch]

yes

[winged linden]

neither of the queries you supplied worked 😦

discord.app_commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command 'addusertorep' raised an exception: ProgrammingError: Incorrect number of bindings supplied. The current statement uses 1, and there are 2 supplied.

[shrewd apex]

dosent seem related to the query

[winged linden]

result3 = await db.execute("SELECT * From RepStorage Where DiscordID = ?", ("", discid))

[shrewd apex]

bro

it was an example

"" <-- means the sql query

🗿

[winged linden]

😭

I had it like this before though

result3 = await db.execute("SELECT * From RepStorage Where DiscordID = ?", (discid))

and it wasnt working

[rustic edge]

How do I timeout a user?

[shrewd apex]

result3 = await db.execute("SELECT * From RepStorage Where DiscordID = ?", (discid,))

[waxen cradle]

how can i modify this line so that the bot can send the message to the 1st text channel of every guild?

[naive briar]

!d discord.Member.timeout

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.timeout

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

Applies a time out to a member until the specified date time or for the given [`datetime.timedelta`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html#datetime.timedelta "(in Python v3.11)").

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

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

[rustic edge]

ty

[vocal snow]

iterate through bot.guilds and use guild.text_channels[0]

[rustic edge]

It underlines the timeout part

[sick birch]

if text_channels := guild.text_channels:
  await text_channels[0].send(...)

[waxen cradle]

thx guys

discord.ext.commands.bot: Privileged message content intent is missing, commands may not work as expected.

[slate swan]

what should i do?

[naive briar]

Enable message_content intent

[winged linden]

Anyone know how i get it to not have these brackets and parenthesis?

[slate swan]

discord.ext.commands.bot: Privileged message content intent is missing, commands may not work as expected.

[naive briar]

!d discord.Intents.message_content

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Intents.message\_content

Whether message content, attachments, embeds and components will be available in messages which do not meet the following criteria:

• The message was sent by the client

• The message was sent in direct messages

• The message mentions the client

This applies to the following events...

[winged linden]

await db.execute("""INSERT INTO RepStorage (Username, DiscordID, RepAmount) values ( ?, ?, ?)""", values)
            await db.commit()
            await interaction.response.send_message(f"Succesfully added the user {user.name} to the database!")
            result1 = await db.execute("SELECT Username FROM RepStorage")
            result2 = await result1.fetchall()
            channel = interaction.guild.get_channel(bot.valcarrierchannel)
            message1 = await channel.fetch_message(bot.valcarriermessage)


            embed = discord.Embed(title = "List Of Verified ValCarriers", description = ("\n".join(map(str, result2))) )
            embed.set_thumbnail(url = "exampleURL")
            await message1.edit(embed = embed)

my code ^^

[naive briar]

Get the string from the tuple

[winged linden]

Isn't that what

("\n".join(map(str, result2)))
``` does

[naive briar]

It's just converting elements in result2 to string and join them

[winged linden]

so how would I get the string from the tuple and then join them

[naive briar]

I would use for loop

[winged linden]

wah

How would a for loop even come into the equation

[naive briar]

!e

result2 = (("mmm",), ("000",))
print("\n".join(i[0] for i in result2))

[unkempt canyon]

@naive briar :white_check_mark: Your 3.11 eval job has completed with return code 0.

001 | mmm
002 | 000

[naive briar]

🤷

[winged linden]

oh damn

lol

[shrewd apex]

!e

result2 = (("mmm",), ("000",))
print (sum(result2, tuple()))

[unkempt canyon]

@shrewd apex :white_check_mark: Your 3.11 eval job has completed with return code 0.

[weary flume]

is there a way to use mongodb to take away a role tmrw

[shrewd apex]

mongodb to take away a discird role?

[weary flume]

ye

[shrewd apex]

oh i thought i read it wrong phew

no u cant

[slate swan]

how can i make a command that reads a number after the command like im using this but i want to specify that amount on discord ```@bot.command()
async def ren(ctx, amount=100):
await ctx.channel.purge(limit=amount)

[shrewd apex]

instead u can use discord to take away a discord role

[shrewd apex]

do ren 20 while typing

or whatevere number u want

[slate swan]

it deosent work

it needs to read the number after but idk how

since there its just deleting in the limit

[shrewd apex]

how do u enter the command?

[slate swan]

like 100 thats how much messages it will delete

[slate swan]

? you talking about the bot's prefix?

i use ø since its easier for me

[slate swan]

im saying that i want to specify how much messages i want to delete

[shrewd apex]

what happend when u type øren <ur_number_here>

[slate swan]

it deletes 100 messages

[shrewd apex]

bro just enter a number other than 100

[slate swan]

since it deletes in the limit=amount

[shrewd apex]

thats the whole point of commands

[slate swan]

but i want to type it on discord not on the script

[shrewd apex]

🗿

øren <type_ur_number_here>

am i still not obvious enough?

[winged linden]

I need to create a leaderboard command for my database,
I need to somehow match all records that have the same UUID
then I need to add the Column Called Amount for all the records with the same UUID
and then I need to compare the sum against other UUIDS to find the top 10 with the most total Amount.

Where do I even begin?

[unkempt canyon]

Hey @slate swan!

You either uploaded a .txt file or entered a message that was too long. Please use our paste bin instead.

[slate swan]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/ofuxavaker
so this is my inventory command but for some reason it only shows your inventory even when the other person is in the db

[slate swan]

AH

sorry 🫡

[cloud dawn]

Seems like SQL

[slate swan]

im dumb

[shrewd apex]

order by amount limit 10

[winged linden]

The issue is I'm not very confident in my SQL skills

[shrewd apex]

similar syntax

[winged linden]

But I need to factor in the UUIDs

[shrewd apex]

basically pseudocode select * from table where x = ? order by whatever acs/dsc limit 10

[winged linden]

but like

its hard to explain what I mean

[shrewd apex]

also if u need sum of selected values use the sum() in sql

[winged linden]

Multiple records will have the same UUID

[cloud dawn]

We sadly aren't wizards we need to know how your DB is structured.

[winged linden]

Yeah Ik

Im trying to explain it but its hard to put into the right words

[shrewd apex]

why is it like this tho?

[winged linden]

Like so when a new donation is logged it creates a record with their UUID, username and the Amount

[shrewd apex]

whats wrong with just updating a single value

[cloud dawn]

Why even have the username

[shrewd apex]

my guess is uuid is not generated by him

[winged linden]

The UUID is retrieved from the username

via mojang api

[shrewd apex]

bro just use the user id

[winged linden]

It needs to be the UUID

its for minecraft

[shrewd apex]

dosent explain why u need two rows

[winged linden]

The username can change

Wait no

The two rows are seperate donations

just from the same person

[shrewd apex]

this api doesnt support lists? also why u need them seperate?

[winged linden]

To get the UUID

I need the username

[cloud dawn]

I will make a query I'm mid game rn tough lol

[winged linden]

and vice versa

[shrewd apex]

"SELECT UUID FROM table WHERE Username = ? ORDER BY SUM(AMOUNT) DESC LIMIT 10"

on these lines mind u i aint done sql in like 2 months so not sure

[winged linden]

But heres my issue

[cloud dawn]

Why would you sum amount if it's a single value lol

[winged linden]

Like The sum of all amounts would have to be the sum of the amounts with a certain UUID

[shrewd apex]

its multiple right he has multiple records

[winged linden]

and I have to check this for every UUID in the table

[shrewd apex]

or similar rows

[winged linden]

And then find the top 10 totals

[shrewd apex]

bro y are u making multiple rows in first place then

[winged linden]

I thought that would be the best option at the time

But now its made it more complicated

I guess I could change the code to add to amount if the user is already in the database

[cloud dawn]

Yeah for this query we need to debug since this is not a small query lol

Lemme fire up a dummy db

[winged linden]

oh

I just started changing my code so that each UUID would only have one record

[split rover]

In a Slash command how do i add an argument as a user

[winged linden]

an argument as a user?

wdym

[split rover]

Sorry, I mean like when you use a slash command it asks you for a user

[winged linden]

like /test @winged linden ?

[split rover]

yeah

[winged linden]

user: discord.Member

[split rover]

but in slash command form

[winged linden]

I believe

[split rover]

how would I use that?

[winged linden]

put it in the arguments of the command?

async def test(interaction: discord.Interaction, user: discord.Member)

[shrewd apex]

i can do it in 2 queries not sure about one

actually one also possible

just fetch all data then sum up and sort the list get first ten

[winged linden]

I just changed the actual command 😭

[slate swan]

anyone want to work on my economy bot with me I have like 8 cmds

[teal glade]

I want to add a UI button to a cog, but I get this error:

TypeError: expected an instance of View not <class 'type'>

[winged linden]

wrong place to ask?

[mild nimbus]

what do i do here?

[shrewd apex]

ok figured it out

[naive briar]

!intents

[unkempt canyon]

Using intents in discord.py

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

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

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

from discord import Intents
from discord.ext import commands

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

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

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

[slate swan]

where should I?

[winged linden]

different discord server?

this is mainly for help

[slate swan]

oh

[shrewd apex]

"SELECT Username, SUM(Amount) FROM mytable GROUP BY UUID ORDER BY SUM(Amount) DESC LIMIT 10"

[cloud dawn]

👀

[shrewd apex]

gurantee it works

[split rover]

that Worked!! thanks so much, Any idea on how to make that optional?

[winged linden]

optional?

why

[winged linden]

bro

I have been trying to tell you i WAS changing my code

[waxen cradle]

what did i miss here? i want to loop through every channel and send a message, the bot starts with no errors but it doesnt send anything

[shrewd apex]

ik i took it as an assignment or something

[split rover]

So the user can use themselves

[shrewd apex]

wanted to find the answer

its upto u to use or not

[cloud dawn]

You need to wake up at 7 then execute the command for the task to go again.

[sick birch]

Did your ticket_launcher class subclass discord.ui.View?

[cloud dawn]

||You can't put a command in a task ||

[teal glade]

Yes

[waxen cradle]

but can i put a task in the command?

[cloud dawn]

Uhm

[slate swan]

i dont want to mess with slash commands they seem hard 🥺

[sick birch]

Did you call the supers initializer?

[winged linden]

Well I'll save it because im sure ill find it useful in the future lol

[mild nimbus]

not working bro what line i put it

[naive briar]

There's literally an example on the embed

[winged linden]

me after making the whole command:

😭

[shrewd apex]

what u are logging just dispatch a custom event

[teal glade]

Here is the cog file in full view

[winged linden]

So basically we run like a charity on a mc server

And we were going to log all the donations we handed out

[slate swan]

W

[winged linden]

but its a little time consuming to run a command considering theres 100s of people daily

[shrewd apex]

thats why use an event

[winged linden]

wdym

[shrewd apex]

how do they donate?

[winged linden]

On minecraft via trading

I'd have to make a minecraft mod

but i do not know java 😦

[slate swan]

this is smart....

never thouht of getting the channel

[shrewd apex]

oh rip nvm idk mc either but if can create a webhook and trigger it everytime someone donates that might do the job

[winged linden]

Yeah it would but I also have to change the database when donation

And even like detecting when someone donates will be difficult

since its not like theres any api which tells you when someone trades

hypixel aint making it easy

so for now we are just changing it to where we log the total amount we give out per day

and then when I understand how to make a mc mod I can revert back to this system

[slate swan]

hypixel is an L (Ive never played it)

[teal glade]

Does anyone have an explanation as to why line 64 raises the error?

[sick birch]

Can you provide a full traceback?

Where does discord say economy bots are ToS violating?

Not being combative I'm just curious

[cloud dawn]

Since dank memer is not in the app discovery because of the economy

[slate swan]

in this the user inputs the string and the program checks of the user is breached but i need to make the string variable password to be message.content

[sick birch]

Can you also pastebin the code for the entire cog file?

[cloud dawn]

I'm on my phone rn but it does say it in the tos

[limber pagoda]

wait so

[sick birch]

Would you mind pointing me to the appropriate clause when you can?

[limber pagoda]

am i required to remove my gambling commands from my bot

[cloud dawn]

Sure can when I finish up eating

[slate swan]

can someone help me with this ?

[sick birch]

It's just so many people do economy bots so I want to make sure that it's TOS violating

Also this is news to me :p

[teal glade]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/kahojelasi

[sick birch]

You forgot the ()

[limber pagoda]

ticket_launcher()

[sick birch]

I would suggest you remove that like because you're going to be adding the view soon anyway

You'd be adding it twice

[teal glade]

ohhhh

hmm im blind

[limber pagoda]

so is this gambling command against discord ToS?

If it's for real-world value, yes

[limber pagoda]

wait no

its just my bot currency

not irl currency

[cloud dawn]

"Gambling-adjacent or addictive behavior"

[primal token]

Most economy bots dont offer real world value but value in their own coins

[teal glade]

Thank you so much for finding it

[cloud dawn]

It's for the app directory, so it's not against ToS I presume.

[primal token]

Either way most economy bots dont offer gambling, even if something is addicting i doubt they would care enough, after all addiction is a very sensitive topic

Allot of gatekeeping would appose from such discussion

[naive briar]

Are you sure that the API is actually returning an image?

[slate swan]

like how do you make the bot copy your message and return it in a message?

u didnt process cmds

await client.process_commands(message)
or
await bot.process_commands(message)

[dense flower]

wdym?

[naive briar]

The same one as the embed's image?

[dense flower]

oh ill try that

[slate swan]

put what I sent

like how do you make the bot copy your message and return it in a message??

@slate swan

yo

[naive briar]

Do you have message_content intent enabled

[slate swan]

do this

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
  msg = message.content 
  await message.channel.send(msg)

@slate swan

forgot to add something

which

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
  msg = message.content 
  if message.author != client.user:
    await message.channel.send(msg)

[dense flower]

sorry but where does that go 💀

[slate swan]

@dense flower

for?

that was for the other guy

[slate swan]

would this work with @client.listen?

idk

[dense flower]

oh? but u said "put what i sent"

[naive briar]

[slate swan]

ohh

anywhere in your on_message

put it at the very top

if u rlly care

tickets yay

[winged linden]

how do you make an argument optional in a slash command?

[dense flower]

AttributeError: 'aclient' object has no attribute 'process_commands' 😢

[slate swan]

@dense flower send me the code

[naive briar]

discord.Client doesn't have process_commands method

Only discord.ext.commands.Bot

And he's making his commands in on_message event for some odd reason

[slate swan]

yea idk why

#help-grapes

[waxen igloo]

i use this & it doesnt work

if i mistype a sub command it still sends the parent

[glad cradle]

you need to define a default value for it

[silent portal]

How can I make the discord.Buttons all next to each other instead of like under each other?

[slate swan]

how do you make code stop and wait for user to write

[glad cradle]

you need to set the row keyword

!d discord.ui.Button

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ui.Button

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

New in version 2.0.

[silent portal]

thanks

[glad cradle]

a row can contains up to 5 buttons

and a message can have up to 5 action rows

[silent portal]

is the first row 0?

[fading marlin]

!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**...

[glad cradle]

yes

0 <= row <= 4

[dense flower]

I know this is an incredibly lazy way to make an embed but does anyone know why when I type !insertembed i'm not getting the embed back?```py
@client.event
async def on_message(message):
if message.content.startswith('!insertembed'):
embedVar = discord.Embed(title="Title", description="", color=0x00ff00)
embedVar.add_field(name="line1", value="",inline=False)
embedVar.add_field(name="line2", value="",inline=False)
embedVar.add_field(name="line3", value="",inline=False)
await message.channel.send(embed=embedVar)

    msg = 'Hi {0.author.mention}'.format(message)
    await client.send_message(message.channel, msg)```

[fading marlin]

send_message has been gone for an aeon

probably consider using a bot instead of a client too

[dense flower]

oh so trash this? ```py
class aclient(discord.Client):
def init(self):
super().init(intents=discord.Intents.default())
self.synced = False

async def on_ready(self):
await self.wait_until_ready()
if not self.synced:
await tree.sync(guild=discord.Object(id=1040618103249326181))
self.synced = True
print(f"We have logged in as {self.user}.")```?

[fading marlin]

if you're gonna be coding commands, I'd recommend it, yes. Also, don't sync automatically either

do you have any resources you could recommend? Most stuff seems really outdated

[fading marlin]

!d discord.Attachment

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Attachment

class discord.Attachment```
Represents an attachment from Discord.

str(x) Returns the URL of the attachment.

x == y Checks if the attachment is equal to another attachment.

x != y Checks if the attachment is not equal to another attachment.

hash(x) Returns the hash of the attachment.

Changed in version 1.7: Attachment can now be casted to [`str`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#str "(in Python v3.11)") and is hashable.

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.dm\_only

@discord.ext.commands.dm_only()```
A [`check()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.check "discord.ext.commands.check") that indicates this command must only be used in a DM context. Only private messages are allowed when using the command.

This check raises a special exception, [`PrivateMessageOnly`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.PrivateMessageOnly "discord.ext.commands.PrivateMessageOnly") that is inherited from [`CheckFailure`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.CheckFailure "discord.ext.commands.CheckFailure").

New in version 1.1.

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.

[dense flower]

yeah what's up

[slate swan]

    data = r.json()['objects']

    for all in data:
        indice = all['level']

        embed.add_field(
            name = 'level',
            value = f'{indice}'
        )``` how to display all the values that are printed in the value field

enable it from the dev portal

read the full error for god's sake

you gotta run the code again though, did you?

and whats the full error you get

[dense flower]

is it necessary to be that hostile tho

everyone makes mistakes when starting out, allow it

^

[slate swan]

sorry what? im sorry if that came out as rude

can you send the full error in pastebin, cant really guess with the partial one

!paste

[unkempt canyon]

Pasting large amounts of code

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

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

[dense flower]

you haven't set your token x

oh i mean if ur using replit u should set ur token as a secret anyway

[slate swan]

just use default intents as long as you don't actually need them

[dense flower]

discord.Intents.default() for start

change your intents

to discord at the start

bro cmon

[shadow vigil]

don't name a variable with buit-in name

[dense flower]

bro ur the reason people shit on new people asking questions

ur not trying

i did

i literally said replace your intents with the line

[potent quartz]

did discord/python changed the way u interact with bots? cause all the bots I've made in the past dont work anymore

just put ur token in there lol

[wicked atlas]

discord.py has made some changes, yes

[potent quartz]

ah I see

[wicked atlas]

you can read about the changes made in 2.0 here:
https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/migrating.html

[potent quartz]

thanks

bro just search it up on the internet

[wicked atlas]

I wonder where we are right now...

you need to actually put in your bot token, not just the text token

[potent quartz]

smh

[wicked atlas]

In what way does it not work?

[potent quartz]

show the errror you get when u run it with the code

[wicked atlas]

you need to pass the intents object you've created to your client

client = discord.Client(intents = intents)

you sure?

shouldn't be

[slate swan]

There isn't some built-in user-level cooldown system for Discord buttons in discord.py is there?

[wicked atlas]

Can you show the error?

[mighty pilot]

Show your code with the 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.

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.

[mighty pilot]

You need to define it then

Well idk what any of that means but do you have intents enabled on the developer portal

Then you need to enable them all in your code as well. You only enabled default and members

[slate swan]

[mighty pilot]

The same way you did members but with the rest

Or turn off the ones you don't need in the dev portal if you only need members

[wicked atlas]

that one looks like a replit issue 💀

one of the reasons you don't host bots on replit

[mighty pilot]

Or change default to all

There's better free resources

[slate swan]

Fact: I am approaching the 500th line of code for a single slash command and it is becoming exponentially more painful to go on.

[wicked atlas]

yeah, the problem with replit is that there are many other people just like you trying to host a bot, and all these requests to the discord api are being made from one IP address. Cloudflare, the service protecting discord's apis from DDoS attacks doesn't like this large ammount of requests, and blocks the IP from making api requests. That error you're seeing has HTML for cloudflare's block page.

[mighty pilot]

I know the struggle. I never want to touch my on_message again lmao

[slate swan]

Am I just being painfully inefficient?

[wicked atlas]

maybe

[keen sleet]

async def main():

    try:
        pool_ = asyncpg.create_pool(host="*", database="*", user="*", password="*")
    except:
        pool_ = asyncpg.create_pool(host="*", database="*", user="*", password="*")
        
    async with ClientSession() as session_client, pool_ as pool:

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

            await bot.start('...')
asyncio.run(main())

is what im using right now
bot remains offline, even after going past the print line

im very lost

[mighty pilot]

Depends on what you're doing

Depends... on what you're doing...

[slate swan]

Mods...?

[mighty pilot]

Hello(ctx)

I haven't ridden a bicycle in 4 years

[slate swan]

Cereal I dunno about you but I'm personally not gonna help someone to make a bot say that to someone.

[mighty pilot]

I don't think it's against rules unless we discuss it. Shall we consult <@&831776746206265384> ?

[potent quartz]

bro you still didn't get it to work @slate swan ?

[slate swan]

after pinging them yes

[mighty pilot]

Quickest way to get one usually

[slate swan]

bro did windows so bad🤺 imagine a taskbar at da top

totally like it as a xfce default user

[mighty pilot]

Lmao I hadn't even noticed. I did that once on accident though when I was a kid. Had to google how to change it back lol

[slate swan]

Correction: about 600 because I also had to build an entire system for evaluating Poker hands and find the strongest hand

[mighty pilot]

Down side of building something nice

[dense flower]

Does anyone know why @app_commannds.checks.has_any_role(adminrole) isn't affecting whether or not a user can call joined? in this block of code?py @bot.command() @app_commands.checks.has_any_role(adminrole) async def joined(ctx, member: discord.Member): """Says when a member joined.""" await ctx.send(f'{member.name} joined {discord.utils.format_dt(member.joined_at)}')

[mighty pilot]

If I'm not mistaken you need the role ID?

[slate swan]

its okay i had to write 300+ lines just for the client

[slate swan]

you use commands.has_any_role for prefix commands

[dense flower]

I thought it was just the name you needed? I've got adminrole set to the name of the role

[slate swan]

Dawg what were you tryna do

[dense flower]

ohhh ok ty

[slate swan]

i made my own api wrapper lol

[dense flower]

Why does it differentiate between two different commands for slash and prefix 💀

[slate swan]

cause prefix commands work with a message context
app commands on other hand works with interactions

[slate swan]

Nice

[mighty pilot]

Yea I missed that you weren't using a slash command with that. They differentiate between the two with .checks.

[dense flower]

wait I think i'm a bit lost, prefix commands react to your message context tho no?

eh either way I think i've just got a decent bit to revise haha

[slate swan]

yes

they basically wrap the Message object to a Context object

[dense flower]

oh yeah so like how i'm doing ?joined, but I don't understand why the same @strange knoll_commands can't be applied, is it just cause of the way it's wrote in the library?

probably a really dumb question lmao

just hoping to try wrap my head around it

[slate swan]

thats just because the library is written that way
only ext.commands related checks will be added to a command for checks

same goes for app commands
comamnds.has_any_role won't work on an app command

[dense flower]

so just to be clear ext.commands is for prefix, and app_commands is for /

ok cool

🗒️

[slate swan]

exactly, app_commands supports context menus as well

[dense flower]

ok cool

[mighty pilot]

Yea if it says app commands it's referencing some sort of interaction based event

[slate swan]

and then there's hybrid commands which mix the slash and prefix commands

[dense flower]

to get this to work with a prefix, would I change @tree.error to @bot.event?py @tree.error async def on_app_command_error(interaction: discord.Interaction,error: discord.app_commands.AppCommandError): if isinstance(error, discord.app_commands.errors.MissingRole): await interaction.response.send_message("You don't have permission to use this command", ephemeral=True) else: await interaction.response.send_message("An error occurred, please try again later.", ephemeral=True) raise error

[dense flower]

bruhhhh why 💀

[dense flower]

wait that can't be right cause there's interactions

[slate swan]

yeah that shouldn't be it

[dense flower]

I think my main issue is i'm not sure where i'm looking in the docs of discord.py 😅

[mighty pilot]

You have interactions and text commands in your bot?

[dense flower]

i've got one prefix command i'm trying to get to work rn which is "?joined" and it returns a line of text

basically just trying to set it to admin only

[slate swan]

!d discord.app_commands.CommandTree.error it would be tree.error yes

[unkempt canyon]

discord.app\_commands.CommandTree.error

@error(coro)```
A decorator that registers a coroutine as a local error handler.

This must match the signature of the [`on_error()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.CommandTree.on_error "discord.app_commands.CommandTree.on_error") callback.

The error passed will be derived from [`AppCommandError`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.AppCommandError "discord.app_commands.AppCommandError").

[dense flower]

wait but this is for a prefix command

so it wouldn't be app_commands?

[slate swan]

you should be using on_command_error then

[mighty pilot]

If you have no slash commands you shouldn't have app_commands anywhere then lol

[dense flower]

yeah ik, i'm just trying to translate that code from my slash command bot to the prefix bot haha

[mighty pilot]

Good luck

Lol

[slate swan]

i wanna make a leveling bot but I'm too lazy and broke to get a proper database

[dense flower]

mongodb not good enough?

[slate swan]

mongodb bad, its okay for small scale but I'll have to pay when its used at larger scale
besides that its bson based
im looking for a sql based db

pgsql preferably

[mighty pilot]

I've been considering offering some hosting services on my hardware

[dense flower]

how many users would you say it could support at one time? I thought it seemed alright when I was using it lel

[slate swan]

the thing is that I'd need to store relational data, dictionary like structure works but tables are much more tidier and easy to handle

[dense flower]

ohhh mb i get you

[slate swan]

🤺paid/free?

[slate swan]

yeah and i hate dictionaries

[dense flower]

valid 💀

[mighty pilot]

Free until I need to upgrade my internet services to support the network traffic

[dense flower]

I was working with some huge ass dictionaries for my dissertation but luckily some dude on reddit sent me some godly tool to help with it all

[slate swan]

lmao im in whenever you start

[alpine cove]

what tool?

[mighty pilot]

Although I would wait until I fix my disconnect issues I've been having with my hardware firewall. Every few hours the firewall needs to restart for unknown reasons and it takes everything offline for about 2 minutes

[slate swan]

im currently dealing with dictionaries cause of the discord wrapper
converting those json responses to a valid object is pain

and discord under-documents shit

so its even more harder to use

[slate swan]

i personally prefer dataclasses, attrs or typedicts if i already know what the data inside that dictionary would be

!pip attrs this lib is fire

[unkempt canyon]

attrs v22.1.0

Classes Without Boilerplate

[alpine cove]

lol same i was just wondering what shit tool he be using lmfao

whats attrs tho?

[slate swan]

dataclasses but better

[alpine cove]

was just about to say

looks like a dataclass

[little peak]

Can someone help me? I want to add a slash command to my Bot which outputs the newest youtube video link to the output of the bot

[mighty pilot]

Do you have anything written yet

[slate swan]

it's quicker with updates and helps with backward compatibility in my case
like i can use the python 3.10 dataclasses system in 3.8 if i use attrs

[little peak]

no :/

[mighty pilot]

You should start with writing a slash command that you want to use for the link

[little peak]

oh yeah i already have that

[alpine cove]

-_-

[mighty pilot]

I don't think anyone will write the whole command for you but if you run into problems we can help with that

[little peak]

i just dont know how i get the newest video

yk

[little peak]

are you still here?

[mighty pilot]

Doing research to see if I know how to help lol

I haven't done that before

[little peak]

oh okay thanks

[alpine cove]

yt api

https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/guides/push_notifications

[mighty pilot]

https://sns-sdks.lkhardy.cn/python-youtube/getting_started/

This one could work

[little peak]

thanks i will try it

[mighty pilot]

This would work well for automatic updates when a new video is published

[ionic garden]

how do i only disable a button for some users?

[alpine cove]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQSJGS2JR4w

[alpine cove]

didnt check woops

nvm then

[mighty pilot]

Could better suit what they want idk

[alpine cove]

he's gonna do a discord bot

[mighty pilot]

Idk about disabling a button for certain users but you could send a message for certain users instead of doing the other intended interaction

[alpine cove]

like that yt api wrapper aint async

[alpine cove]

check if the id is in a list

if id not in list:
inter.response.send_message
return

[alpine cove]

why tho?

[ionic garden]

i'm implementing ERS in a discord bot

so like a card game with each player having a turn & whatnot
so i don't want a player to go if it isn't their turn

[mighty pilot]

Yea I'd just send an ephemeral message if they hit the button out of turn

[ionic garden]

k cool

[alpine cove]

if self.turn.id != inter.user_id:
return

self.turn being the user

[ionic garden]

kk, cool

[upbeat gust]

define 'doesnt work'

Traceback?

[alpine cove]

lmao

just send the traceback bruhh

[mighty pilot]

Is it because chance() isn't a list?

[torn sail]

ctx.reply is not like the print function

It only takes 1 argument

Try using f strings to join the string

Or adding the strings

[upbeat gust]

Again, define doesn't work

We can't read your mind

[mighty pilot]

f"You're: {random.choice(chance)}"

Should at least give you a different error

[upbeat gust]

What did you try-

[torn sail]

Missed a )

[open yoke]

I'm tryna install discord library but it keeps giving me this error

[upbeat gust]

?tag msvc

[novel apex]

This is not a Modmail thread.

[upbeat gust]

Oops

[rugged shadow]

wrong server 😔

[upbeat gust]

error: Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 or greater is required. Get it with "Microsoft C++ Build Tools": https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/visual-cpp-build-tools/
Some C extension packages take time to have their wheels built when new Python versions release.

One option is to download and install wheels from https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/ if they're available.

The other option is to build them yourself.
Start by downloading and installing the Microsoft Visual C++ Build Tools from the URL in the error message.
After installing, it should open the build tools installation menu. Switch to the Individual components tab at the top.
Roughly half way down the list, find and select the latest version of MSVC build tools for your CPU architecture, most likely x64/x86.
At the end of the list, find and select the latest Windows SDK for your Windows version.
Click Install at the bottom and you should then be able to build your packages. You may need to restart your terminal/editor.

@open yoke

[dense flower]

I wish I remembered, i'll see if I can find it on reddit but it basically just converted stuff you shoved in there into code/dictionaries in like 20s

[open yoke]

wait so do I download that

from that link

[upbeat gust]

read it-

I've given two options

[open yoke]

are you saying I need to update my vscode

or what is it your wanting me to download

[upbeat gust]

Did you read what I sent at all?

[open yoke]

skimmed

[upbeat gust]

Read it properly then

It tells you everything you need to know

[iron gate]

Just install python 3.10 instead of 3.11

[open yoke]

o

[open yoke]

any idea when it'll start working for 3.11?

[iron gate]

No idea. I just got here. But I had the problem earlier

[hushed galleon]

whenever the maintainers of multidict and yarl release prebuilt wheels for 3.11 then it'll be an easy install

but otherwise you need build tools in order for pip to compile those wheels

[open yoke]

oh alr thanks

[upbeat gust]

There are wheels here

[hushed galleon]

frozenlist used to be in that error message too, but it looks like they uploaded the 3.11 wheels three days ago

[open yoke]

I don't know what wheels arfe

[little peak]

Could someone help me? How can i get the newest youtube video link of a channel?

[upbeat gust]

use channel.history with a limit of 1 and a check
Use regex in that check

[slate swan]

use the YouTube api or webscrape the channel

[upbeat gust]

!d discord.TextChannel.history

[unkempt canyon]

discord.TextChannel.history

async for ... in history(*, limit=100, before=None, after=None, around=None, oldest_first=None)```
Returns an [asynchronous iterator](https://docs.python.org/3/glossary.html#term-asynchronous-iterator "(in Python v3.11)") that enables receiving the destination’s message history.

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.

Examples

Usage...

[upbeat gust]

yt api?

[little peak]

i mean from a youtube channel

[slate swan]

im confident they mean a channel as in a youtube channel there

[little peak]

yeah

i already looked into yt api but i dont realy know what to do

[upbeat gust]

So why are you asking in #discord-bots -

[little peak]

because i want to use it for a discord bot

[upbeat gust]

Just because you're doing something in a discord bot doesn't make it related to discord but whatever

[slate swan]

what

why does it say its not a module anymore

poetry add pymongo in the shell

thanks

[pliant gulch]

Requests & Pymongo 👁️👁️

[slate swan]

should i buy a vps or host my bot on replit

[mighty pilot]

Here's an example to look at. Doesn't do exactly what you want but it's a start
https://github.com/Riceblade/YouTube-Discord-Bot

[mighty pilot]

Free vps

[slate swan]

buy a vps, or get a free one from oracle if you have a credit card

[mighty pilot]

Aws has a free one too I believe

Haven't used it though

[slate swan]

thats only for one year, oracle provides lifetime free VM

[little peak]

thanks i think i got it now

[mighty pilot]

Did not know that

[pliant gulch]

Oracle 😔

[slate swan]

more like java company

[pliant gulch]

Lawsuit after lawsuit, after lawsuit

Most recent one was about selling data about people

[slate swan]

:flattered: atleast someone will know me

[round knoll]

cant you run it on a raspberry pi?

[slate swan]

will it bypass the discord ratelimits by cloud fare

[slate swan]

no but you won't get ratelimited like you do on replit

it doesnt bypass it, but you won't get ratelimited until you do something craZy

[slate swan]

is digitalocean a good vps

yes it is

#help-avocado

[slate swan]

i'll suggest digital ocean or vultr out of these

you can actually get some better ones if you check this channel's pins

^^

ok thanks

[slate swan]

would i choose python since my bot code is in python

python/django yes
or docker if you dockerized your bot

[winged linden]

How can I get the TOP 10 Records with the highest RepAmount from my sqlite database

[slate swan]

#databases

I did the second option and it didn't work

[slate swan]

I think I have finally finished my Poker game 😭

gg

#help-apple

[slate swan]

hi, I have a list of 100 items. I want my embed description to be from 1-10 while paginating every 1-10 out of that 100 items. How exactly would I get every 1-10 until 100?

            resp = ["1", "2", "3", "etc"]
            for count, i in enumerate(resp, start=1):
                embed = discord.Embed()
                embed.description = f"**{count}.** {i}"

[slate swan]

could use a list comprehension to make a list of list of 10 elements

[abstract kindle]

should all my functions be async?

[slate swan]

nope, only functions that really perform async operations should be a coroutine

[abstract kindle]

got it

also nice new pfp and booster icon

[slate swan]

tyty

whats the best free vps to host my discord bot

[vocal snow]

https://www.pythondiscord.com/pages/guides/python-guides/vps-services/

[slate swan]

localhost 😎

[hushed galleon]

never thought about this, but has anyone used discord.py without a gateway connection? i just thought about only calling Client.login() but not connect()

maybe its possible to do dpy app commands via http...

[slate swan]

you can't, discord.py implementats interactions using the INTERACTION_CREATE gateway event instead of a HTTP server

[hushed galleon]

its still the same payload though right? id figure you could create an Interaction from that and pass it to CommandTree._from_interaction() to trigger the app command

and if that works, maybe views will work too

http bot from the comfort of dpy

[torn sail]

yes

i made a lib

ive tried it an it works

[slate swan]

yeah the payloads are exactly same, if you're able to create your own HTTP server you can mock the discord.py app_commands api easily

[torn sail]

discord.Client._connection.parse_interaction_create

[hushed galleon]

oh yeah that method's more convenient

[torn sail]

i remember asking u about it a while ago

[hushed galleon]

really?

[torn sail]

yep

[hushed galleon]

oh yeah i did (respond to you)
