discord-bots

[silver reef]

here is the code btw :

file = discord.File(r"C:\Users\userUwU\Desktop\test\Crypt Creeper.png", filename="image.png")
    
    embed.set_image(url="attachment://image.png")
    await ctx.send(file=file, embed=embed)

[slate swan]

more quality is not more delay

[shrewd fjord]

But sending an edited image shouldn't give delay

Saving image takes time but not sending

[slate swan]

how slow are we talking?

[silver reef]

3s

[slate swan]

because if its slow to just respond

[silver reef]

i changed the image

this one

and there was no delay

[shrewd fjord]

No need to use another method separate

[silver reef]

so i was thinking it just the quality

[shrewd fjord]

Nope...

[silver reef]

the elements of image u know

[slate swan]

prob ur internet tbh

[silver reef]

i literally did two images the same format same size but the delay time is different

[silver reef]

i tried many images

[shrewd fjord]

Editing image in good quality on code it takes time to save but while sending saved image through discord , there is no way it takes delay

[shrewd fjord]

Unless this

[silver reef]

it is saved image

[slate swan]

ur still uploading a high quality img lol

its ur internet making it slow

[shrewd fjord]

But still np

Yea processing can take time tho 💀💀

[slate swan]

especially if u just using a saved img from a directory

[silver reef]

hmm imma try hosting my bot from replit and i will be back

last try

[slate swan]

that is even worse lmfao

[shrewd fjord]

Ye

[silver reef]

better than my wifi

[shrewd fjord]

That's true too 🗿

[silver reef]

just wanna check , not like iam gonna host my bot on replit 24/7

[shrewd fjord]

ahh like

async def method(url):
async with .......as session:
response = ........get(url)

Kinda like dat

It's separate method

[slate swan]

hey I need help I'm trying to make it where once you do *end and the paragraph of your advertisement but it does not work once it logged plz help

thats normal

[slate swan]

....

[slate swan]

?

[vale wing]

Man's trying to earn from discord bots

Imagine if I would do that stuff

Anyway what the problem is there

[slate swan]

how could I make it so that after running a certain command and the user types chunks of text how can I make it where the bot logs the chunks of text that the user writes? this is my problem and I tried doing that

[slate swan]

bobux scams

[vale wing]

😏

Actually we could probably integrate purchases to bobux after we make site just to try

Maybe will be enough to cover VPS costs

[slate swan]

anyone gonna help me ?

[vale wing]

Logs where? Types where?

[slate swan]

*end {chunks of writing} log = self.bot.get_channel(1058528243289968670)

[vale wing]

🧐

Ah got what you mean

One sec lemme give me docs link

[slate swan]

what doc link?

I did this by my self

[shrewd fjord]

Scam hm

[vale wing]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/commands.html#keyword-only-arguments

[vale wing]

Yeah /slots go brrr

[shrewd fjord]

Make it on discord 😏

[vale wing]

BadModal for card info

[shrewd fjord]

What about my beta bot's $$ 🆒

Scem

[shrewd fjord]

:yes:

[exotic maple]

I dont know but when a good alternative is using ID's for the ads you want to accept/deny

Store the ID and message info in a database

Someone can then do ?deny ID and it would deny the ad

idk if i explained that well

[vale wing]

Bobux bot codebase names be like
utils.utils.check_if_stupid
utils.views.BadModal
res/user_insults.json

[vale wing]

All messages have IDs

So why even store that

[exotic maple]

Custom ID

not discord message id

[vale wing]

What are they trying to achieve? Application reviews or smth

[exotic maple]

Yeah

think so

[slate swan]

Okay but I'm trying to make it where the bot could log chunks of text if the user writes paragraphs about his advertisement

[vale wing]

Just attach a persistent view with deny/approve buttons, you can access the message via message interaction

[slate swan]

yeah but it is very hard to do

[vale wing]

I alright linked you the link in docs explaining that

[slate swan]

I usually do prefix commands not slash commands

[slate swan]

Yeah It didn't help either

[exotic maple]

i dont really understand what you mean

sorry im kinda thick

[vale wing]

What did you do

[slate swan]

let me show you an example

[vale wing]

Lmao maybe you meant sick?

[slate swan]

*end (user's large writing)

[vale wing]

Cause thick is like uh fat?

[slate swan]

and the bot logs it from there

but the bot logs a little bit of the advertisement

[timid spade]

how can i get message id of the message the bot sent
like on using a command bot replied with a message, how can i get that messages id or that message itself

[vale wing]

Yes and what you didn't understand from example

[slate swan]

I read this part

[vale wing]

async def func(ctx, *, large_text)```

[exotic maple]

no it also basically means dumb

[vale wing]

Bro you were supposed to look at the example, not scroll or anything

[exotic maple]

you need to fetch it

[vale wing]

@slate swan anyway

[exotic maple]

wait

[vale wing]

You mean "get message user replied to" or what

message.reference.resolved

[timid spade]

get message the bot sent as a reply
well i wanna make suggestions command
the bot will send a message and will react to it with emojis

[vale wing]

Uh

!d discord.TextChannel.history still not sure what you need

[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...

[timid spade]

ok so, i want message id of this message

[vale wing]

O

message = await channel.send(...)
message.id  # <-- here```

[timid spade]

yes thanks

got it

[shrewd fjord]

🗿

[timid spade]

🗿

[shrewd fjord]

So exenifix i am getting my beta bobux's $$?

[primal token]

You shouldn't be making sessions on each call of the method, use a single session. Why are you converting self.user_id to a string in an f string?

[light violet]

.

[primal token]

what?

https://docs.aiohttp.org/en/stable/client_reference.html#client-session:~:text=it is suggested you use a single session for the lifetime of your application to benefit from connection pooling

it is suggested you use a single session for the lifetime of your application to benefit from connection pooling

You're missing my point? You shouldnt be using requests either?

!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.

[primal token]

!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.

[primal token]

it can be, but lets not talk about that

Its an esoteric way, you should just use create_task or use a classmethod, but to avoid any other issues i would recommend using the latter

[upbeat otter]

that's why it was italicized

[oblique fern]

Ping or message me if you would be able to test the multiplayer game i made in discord.py

Why am I getting this error

I'm sure I have the right token

And the bot has admin perms

[hushed galleon]

did you make sure the file was saved? your traceback would suggest the token passed to run() was "TOKEN"

[serene pagoda]

Yeah I even tried making a new bot and different code but says the same thing

[hushed galleon]

so that means you edited your traceback to hide the token, right?

did you copy it from the Bot page of your application in the dev portal site?

[serene pagoda]

Yeah

[serene pagoda]

I'm not sure I'm only just learning python but I'm using pycharm so I just rerun to save or isn't that what u mean

[feral frost]

anyone knows how i can make a timeout error for slash commands ?

message

[serene pagoda]

@hushed galleon so what now

[hushed galleon]

i have no idea what your original question is

[hushed galleon]

saving the file is different from running the file, but i think pycharm autosaves on run anyway

[serene pagoda]

Yeah

Also it happened on its own , im using the same code that I used before while it was still working

[slate swan]

Hello I bought a VPS on racknerd someone knows and can help me in uploading my files?

I have a main.py, requirements.txt and a data_mysql.sql

[hushed galleon]

creating a single ClientSession outside of your update_values() isn't needed, its an optimization as noid described which helps when making lots of requests to the same servers
also i dont know what check method you're referring to, nor do i know the purpose of polling updated loot information in the first place

but why are you trying to poll this information? is it for real-time updates?

[slate swan]

Where can I upload my files ?

ik file Zilla but idk where can I get my sttp

[hushed galleon]

ah whatever in that code you commented out the request, so what was wrong with it before?

[slate swan]

and also idk where upload them

[hushed galleon]

well they didnt say to stop making requests entirely, just store the session somewhere

[hushed galleon]

e.g. ```py
bot = commands.Bot(...)

async def main():
# Create a single session here
async with bot, aiohttp.ClientSession() as session:
bot.session = session
await bot.start(...)

class User:
def init(self, bot):
self.bot = bot

async def update_values(self):
    async with self.bot.session.get("api-link") as response:
        ...  # retrieve the values and do your calculations like before

users = [User(bot), ...]
asyncio.run(main())```

what? no, only the session is stored, you're still making a new request each time you update

[hushed galleon]

Session encapsulates a connection pool (connector instance) and supports keepalives by default. Unless you are connecting to a large, unknown number of different servers over the lifetime of your application, it is suggested you use a single session for the lifetime of your application to benefit from connection pooling.

its just different variable names, do whatever you want with them

whatever users you have in your loot_table

well you need access to the session in your update_values() method somehow

you can pass just the session instead of the entire bot, or get hacky and reference the bot as a global variable

[hushed galleon]

judging from https://blog.racknerd.com/a-list-of-useful-linux-commands-linux-command-cheat-sheet/, they just expect you to upload files over ssh using the scp/sftp protocol on the IP address given to you

well given that you're referencing client as a global variable already, you can just write client.session to access it

also worth noting that if you werent using a main() function before, you'll need to manually call discord.utils.setup_logging() since that's one of the things client.run() would have done

[vale wing]

Why upload files via SFTP when you can upload them to github and then clone on VPS

Or even use workflow for automation

[slate swan]

which is the best for hosting a discord bot?

[slate swan]

I do not know how to do

[vale wing]

Just take latest version of ubuntu, doesn't really matter

I meant latest LTS which is 22.04.1 iirc

There were weird ssh bugs in 22.11 when I tried it last time, had to rollback

[vale wing]

You don't know how to use git generally or how to clone on VPS

[slate swan]

both

ik better file Zilla

[vale wing]

Knowing git is an important skill, I suggest looking up tutorials

[slate swan]

yes but its possible to upload with file Zilla right?

[vale wing]

Yeah

I would recommend termius app cause it has both sftp client and ssh + nicer interface than firezilla's

Have been using it since got my first VPS

[slate swan]

what?

terminus app is for uploading files?

[vale wing]

https://termius.com/

[slate swan]

never used it

[vale wing]

There's "SFTP" tab, iirc it was available only to pro subscribers (you could just create account with new email to get infinite free trial) but now it's free

[slate swan]

@slate swan what’re you trying to do?

trying to host my discord bot on racknerd

it's a vps

Aye, trying to get my bot to read a list from a json in the directory, but its saying it cant find it?

main.py

from discord.ext import commands
from TOKEN import token
import asyncio
import os
intents = Intents.default()
intents.message_content = True

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

@client.event
async def on_ready():
    print("RijalBot online")

async def load():
    for file in os.listdir('./commands'):
        if file.endswith('.py'):
            await client.load_extension(f'commands.{file[:-3]}')

async def main():
    await load()
    await client.start(token)

asyncio.run(main())```

**cmds.py** [cog/extension]
```import discord
from discord.ext import commands
import json

file = json.load(open('narrators.json'))
narrators = file.get('narrators')

class cmds(commands.Cog):
    def __init__(self, client):
        self.bot = client

    @commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_ready(self):
        print("CMD Cog working")

  # RIJAL COMMANDS BEGIN HERE:

    @commands.command()
    async def rijal(self,ctx, message:str):
        if message in narrators:
            await ctx.send("e")




  # RIJAL COMMANDS END HERE

async def setup(client):
    await client.add_cog(cmds(client))```

heres my directory

[vale wing]

Path should be rijaldata/narrators.json

Almost

[green schooner]

Hey any idea how to create those "forms" looking window, documentation or how they are called?

[vale wing]

Except you better subclass Bot and set the session as its attribute

Cause you need to overwrite __init__, setup_hook and close methods

[vale wing]

These are called modals

[green schooner]

Thanks!

[vale wing]

@oblique sorrel set the session attribute in __init__ and overwrite this

async def close(self):
    await self.session.close()
    await super().close()```

[green schooner]

Yeah right, I am coding a bot to run applications for a Minecraft event I host and thaught those could be cool to use

[vale wing]

It's named session why would it be request

In overwritten MyClient.close()

Unrelated

Is it still that ChatGPT thing

!d discord.Client.run

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Client.run

run(token, *, reconnect=True, log_handler=..., log_formatter=..., log_level=..., root_logger=False)```
A blocking call that abstracts away the event loop initialisation from you.

If you want more control over the event loop then this function should not be used. Use [`start()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Client.start "discord.Client.start") coroutine or [`connect()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Client.connect "discord.Client.connect") + [`login()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Client.login "discord.Client.login").

This function also sets up the logging library to make it easier for beginners to know what is going on with the library. For more advanced users, this can be disabled by passing `None` to the `log_handler` parameter.

Warning

This function must be the last function to call due to the fact that it is blocking. That means that registration of events or anything being called after this function call will not execute until it returns.

[vale wing]

Ok see in your subclass you add this to __init__ (doesn't matter where exactly in it at all)

self.session = aiohttp.ClientSession()```
Then you make a method for your subclass (cause it exists in superclass, it's called *overwrite*)
```py
async def close(self):
    await self.session.close()
    await super().close()```

Running would look like
```py
# some init stuff whatever
client.run(token)```

I think session closing is async but I don't remember

!d aiohttp.ClientSession.close

[unkempt canyon]

aiohttp.ClientSession.close

coroutine close()```
Close underlying connector.

Release all acquired resources.

[vale wing]

Yeah it's coro

Why await

Eh wait

That's very weird cause I used it in a similar way and got no deprecation warnings

Maybe I've confused something

No wait

What version of aiohttp you have

What exactly

Is it 3.8.3 or another

pip freeze

Interesting

Ok send the whole code please

[slate swan]

Aye, im not familiar with JSON, so i have a dict, and if my message has a word which is any of those keys, it should print the value,

but in the JSON file, the dict has no name, so how will I call it?

[slate swan]

narrators.py

#DICT
narrators = {
            ("e"): "a"
            }

with open('narrators.json', 'w') as f:

    json.dump(narrators, f)``

**narrators.json**```
```{"e": "a"}```
**cmds.py** [cog]
```import discord

async def main():
    await load()
    await client.start(token)

asyncio.run(main())```

Im trying to get it so if I send a message, it checks if the message is a key in the json dict, so I did !rijal e, but I got nothing, not even a traceback

[serene pagoda]

So is there any way to fix it

Can someone help

[serene pagoda]

Think I figured it out

[terse coyote]

how to get info from discord.ui.TextInput?

[slate swan]

Hey, how do I make it where after the program picked a random place to work at and a random paycheck how do I log that? (discord bots experts)

[naive briar]

[slate swan]

I'm making a banking system

and I'm trying to add there balance and etc

[naive briar]

Just pick random item then store it in a variable

print(item)

Command Help

!eval [python_version] <code, ...>
Can also use: e

Run Python code and get the results.

This command supports multiple lines of code, including code wrapped inside a formatted code block. Code can be re-evaluated by editing the original message within 10 seconds and clicking the reaction that subsequently appears.

If multiple codeblocks are in a message, all of them will be joined and evaluated, ignoring the text outside of them.

By default your code is run on Python's 3.11 beta release, to assist with testing. If you run into issues related to this Python version, you can request the bot to use Python 3.10 by specifying the python_version arg and setting it to 3.10.

We've done our best to make this sandboxed, but do let us know if you manage to find an issue with it!

[slate swan]

It’s not recommended

[desert heart]

See the discord bot hosting thread for more details on that.

[lucid jolt]

is there free options to host

im gonna go there

[torn sail]

I've heard that you can get a year free at aws if you link a credit card

[lucid jolt]

a year yeah

[torn sail]

but all permantly "free hosts" always have something not good about them

for example replit has the ratelimiting stuff

[flint bolt]

hey, ive got a problem

[lucid jolt]

what

[flint bolt]

@bot.command()
@commands.has_permissions(manage_messages=True)
async def purge(ctx, limit: int):
    await ctx.message.delete()
    await asyncio.sleep(1)
    await ctx.channel.purge(limit=limit)
    await asyncio.sleep(1)
    purge_embed = discord.Embed(title='Purge [!purge]', description=f'Successfully purged {limit} messages. \n Command executed by {ctx.author}.', color=discord.Colour.random())
    purge_embed.set_footer(text=str(datetime.datetime.now()))
    await ctx.channel.send(embed=purge_embed, delete_after=True)```

it purges the messages with the int i set, but it doesn't send the embed after purging

[lucid jolt]

remove delete_after and then try it to tst

[flint bolt]

yep, works now, thanks

[outer violet]

Is it possible to edit a bots previously sent message by using the message id? And if so, could I get an example of how it would look like?

[vocal snow]

You would use TextChannel.fetch_message to get the Message via it's id and then use it's edit method

But are you trying to edit a very specific message?

[flint bolt]

import discord
from discord.ext import commands
from discord.ext.commands import has_permissions, MissingPermissions
import asyncio
import datetime
intents = discord.Intents.all()
from discord import app_commands
help_command = commands.DefaultHelpCommand(
    no_category = 'Commands'
)


client = discord.Client(intents=intents, description = 'Welcome to Nucleus! The multifunctional discord bot made by Technoglave', help_command = help_command)
tree = app_commands.CommandTree(client)
member = discord.Member

@client.event
async def on_ready():
    await tree.sync(guild=discord.Object(id=1056934892392419329))
    await client.change_presence(activity=discord.Game(',help ┃ Created by Technoglave'))
    print(f'{client.user.name} has connected to Discord!')
    
@tree.command(name = "ping", description = "ping command", guild=discord.Object(id=1056934892392419329)) 
async def ping(interaction: discord.Interaction):
    await interaction.response.send_message("Pong!")

@tree.command(name='commands', description='List commands', guild=discord.Object(id=1056934892392419329))
async def listcommands(interaction: discord.Interaction):
    await interaction.response.send_message(f"For Fun commands: ,fun;\nFor server info: ,info")

@tree.command(name='warn', description='Warn a user', guild=discord.Object(id=1056934892392419329))
@commands.has_permissions(kick_members=True)
async def warn(interaction: discord.Interaction, member: discord.Member, reason=None):
    await interaction.response.send_message(f"{member.mention} was warned for {reason}")

code shows this error:

[torn sail]

you need to do reason: str = None instead of reason=None

[flint bolt]

now showing this:

#1059325633521528883

[outer violet]

Nope, just trying to edit any message sent by the bot with said message id

[vocal snow]

I see

You'll need the channel ID too

get the channel with bot.get_channel --> fetch the message with channel.fetch_message --> edit it with message.edit

[outer violet]

Ahh okay

Thank you :)

[hushed galleon]

there's also PartialMessage if you want to avoid making the extra API call to fetch the message py channel = client.get_partial_messageable(1234) message = channel.get_partial_message(5678) await message.edit(...)

[outer violet]

I see

Thank you as well

[silent ermine]

How do I unban every user in the ban list of discord? I was thinking of using a for loop with ctx.guild.members but that wont get the guild bans.

[vocal snow]

!d discord.Guild.bans

[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.

[silent ermine]

And then I can do entry.unban() or would it be entry.user.unban()?

[tropic estuary]

how to like generate nested objects in json ? for an inventory.

[torn sail]

Ooo wish I new this earlier

[upbeat otter]

data = {}

data[str(user_id)] = {}
data[str(user_id)]["consumables"] = ...

easy as that

[tropic estuary]

ama try that .

[primal cliff]

how do I edit the status of a bot?

[tropic estuary]

image = random.choices(imagesz, weights=(70, 70, 60, 50, 50, 50, 10), k=1)
    with open('inventory.json', 'r') as f:
        data = json.load(f)
    data = {}

    data[str(ctx.author.id)] = {}
    data[str(ctx.author.id)]["consumables"] = images[0]

    with open("inventory.json", "w") as f:
        json.dump(data, f, indent=4)

why does json make images[0] "/"

oh the variables are different..

;-;

[tropic estuary]

@tasks.loop(seconds=3)
async def change_status():
  await client.change_presence(activity=nextcord.Game("your status"))

@client.event
async def on_ready():
  change_status.start()
  print("online!")

[hollow agate]

🥄

& don't use on_ready for anything. setup_hook exists

on_ready can be called multiple times, while setup_hook doesn't.

[tropic estuary]

hmm

[tropic estuary]

it overwrites the data of an user, is there any way to make new lines with these

[hollow agate]

Just for reference
https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html#discord.on_ready
https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.setup_hook ("This is only called once, in login(), and will be called before any events are dispatched, making it a better solution than doing such setup in the on_ready() event.")

[tropic estuary]

it works like an event?

[naive briar]

In general

[hollow agate]

Yep

[upbeat otter]

wdym?

[tropic estuary]

basically i wanted to make an user inventory not just a inventoruy

now when i do this it overwrites

the inventory of an user

how do i fix this

[vocal snow]

data[str(user_id)] = {} this line sets it to a blank dictionary

[tropic estuary]

hmm

[tropic estuary]

so if i remove the = {} it will work?

[vocal snow]

I don't understand why you're setting data = {} after loading it from the json either

[tropic estuary]

hm.

e.

[tropic estuary]

i think for a parent object

[vocal snow]

what

x = 1
x = 2
print(x)
``` what will this print

[tropic estuary]

if i dont do that

[vocal snow]

data = json.load(f)
data = {}
``` same thing is happening here.

[tropic estuary]

it gives an key error

for some reason

[tropic estuary]

i remove it

[vocal snow]

so str(user_id) isn't in the dict

so you should add it to the dict only if isn't there already

[tropic estuary]

heH?

[vocal snow]

you add str(user_id) to the dictionary

[tropic estuary]

yuh?

[vocal snow]

if it is not in the dictionary

[tropic estuary]

then key error?

[vocal snow]

if it is already in the dictionary and you set it to {}, then you're overwriting it

[tropic estuary]

wiat so i removed the ```py
data = {}

[vocal snow]

now what is the value of data

[naive briar]

Dictionary 📕

[tropic estuary]

data = json.load(f)

[vocal snow]

yes, so it's your json data

so if str(user_id) is in that dict, you will get the corresponding user data

if it's not, you'll get a KeyError

which is why you should ensure that str(user_id) is in the dict before trying to access it...

Hi there, how can I get my bot's commands to show up in the / menu?
At the moment the commands work but don't appear or function as slash commands and I'm unsure how to change that.

discord.errors.PrivilegedIntentsRequired: Shard ID None is requesting privileged intents that have not been explicitly enabled in the developer portal. It is recommended to go to https://discord.com/developers/applications/ and explicitly enable the privileged intents within your application's page. If this is not possible, then consider disabling the privileged intents instead.

[glossy flame]

If another bot, such as MEE6, were to say a certain keyword, is it possible for my bot to be able to react to it? I know that commands aren’t possible for bots, I wanted to see if it was the same for simple listens

[naive briar]

Use on_message event

Read the error

How can you possibly get every error that shouldn't be possible to get

[glossy flame]

Ik but will another bot reply

[vocal snow]

yes

on_message picks up all messages that are visible to the bot

where did you get .fetch_premium_subscription from

The docs contains a list of attributes and methods that you can use

don't access an attribute which doesn't exist

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html#discord.Guild.premium_subscription_count maybe you wanted this

narrators.json

{"a": "Weak"}

[upbeat otter]

client.get_user
is returning None

and you don't wanna do that

since here you can simply do member.send

[flint bolt]

oh

alright let me try

[upbeat otter]

you need not get a User object when you already have a Member object since they both have same attributes (Member has guild related information also)

[flint bolt]

great, works, thanks

[flint bolt]

i realised that after you said it

[upbeat otter]

that syntax isn't even valid ig
you need to typecast the keys to a list and use the in keyword

keys = list(narrator.keys())
if ctx.message.content in keys:
  ...

[upbeat otter]

lol it's fine, better to understand than regret it later

[flint bolt]

lol

[fickle hamlet]

Can’t you just do content in narrator

[hushed galleon]

keys() are already set-like so converting them to a list would be somewhat inefficient
(more specifically set-like performance for membership testing)

[upbeat otter]

hm well, that too

[upbeat otter]

well you could, I'm not even thinking straight 😔 my bad

[pulsar kettle]

Hey guys, I'm developing my first Discord bot and was curious on whether I should code it with custom commands (e.g. !kick @pulsar kettle) or use Discord's slash commands (/kick @pulsar kettle), any thoughts?

(and yes I am using discord.py)

[flint bolt]

slash commands

but if youre doing a first

actually yeah if tyoure doing a first you should do it through custom commands

since slash commands are a bit more complicated

[pulsar kettle]

Yeah because I coded like 7-ish custom commands then realised slash commands exist aha

I'm able to rewrite it for slash commands if needed

[vocal snow]

If you're planning on growing your bot to 100+ servers (which requires verification) then you'll need to switch to slash commands

[vale wing]

If you are a beginner and want to do slash, use disnake, if you are a lazy person and want to do slash, use disnake, if you want text commands, use whatever (disnake), if you are a tryhard, use dpy

[flint bolt]

also on that, im looking to fetch the server's name in my code and i can't really seem to find how to do it. can anyone show?

@tree.command(name='warn', description='Warn a user',)
@commands.has_permissions(kick_members=True)
async def warn(interaction: discord.Interaction, member: discord.Member, reason: str=None):
    warn_embed = discord.Embed(title='Warning', description=f'Successfully warned {member.mention} for {reason}.', color=discord.Colour.og_blurple())
    warn_embed.set_footer(text=str(datetime.datetime.now()))
    await interaction.response.send_message(embed=warn_embed)
    warn_embed = discord.Embed(title='Warning', description=f'{member.mention}, you have been warned on {SERVER NAME HERE}.')
    await member.send(embed=warn_embed)```

[pulsar kettle]

I tried out slash commands by rewriting my ping command and here's what I had:

async def ping(interaction: discord.Interaction):
    await interaction.response.send_message('pong!', delete_after=5)```

[vocal snow]

interaction.guild.name presumably

[pulsar kettle]

Should I write the code so it's compatible with both custom AND slash or just not bother and only go for slash?

[vocal snow]

you could write it for both, but note that discord won't give you access to the message content intent just for the purpose of commands (when you verify your bot)

[pulsar kettle]

So it's better to just focus on slash commands?

[vocal snow]

Probably. It will be less limiting

[pulsar kettle]

Alright cool, thank you for your help guys <3

[flint bolt]

so i put {interaction.guild.name}?

[flint bolt]

nah that wont work i think

its just @tree.command

[golden portal]

the decorator is callable

[pulsar kettle]

works for me

[vocal snow]

bot.tree gives a CommandTree

[flint bolt]

oh i didnt know that

[golden portal]

its not really hard to make both slash and text commands compatible, you could just use hybridcommand, and it would use the respective methods depending on if its slash or text internally, the interface stays the same

[flint bolt]

breh

[slate swan]

So I did what you told me, just changed a little

from discord.ext import commands
import json

with open(r"C:\Users\intel\Desktop\rijalbot\rijaldata\narrators.json") as f:
    narrators = json.load(f)



class cmds(commands.Cog):
    def __init__(self, client):
        self.bot = client

    @commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_ready(self):
        print("CMD Cog working")

  # RIJAL COMMANDS BEGIN HERE:

    @commands.command()
    async def rijal(self, ctx):
        keys = narrators.keys
        if ctx.content in keys:
          await ctx.send("e")

# RIJAL COMMANDS END HERE

async def setup(client):
    await client.add_cog(cmds(client))```

but when I do !rijal a, it still doesnt do anything

json
{"a": "Weak"}

[naive briar]

!d dict.keys

[unkempt canyon]

dict.keys

keys()```
Return a new view of the dictionary’s keys. See the [documentation of view objects](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#dict-views).

[naive briar]

.keys is a method, so call it

[mental hollow]

what is ctx.content?

[naive briar]

Also your check is kinda useless

[slate swan]

Hm?

[naive briar]

Since you're checking if the exact whole message content is in the dictionary

[slate swan]

Ah

[naive briar]

!e

d = {"a": 0}
print("a " in d.keys())

[unkempt canyon]

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

If I wanted to check if a word was present in the message, i'd reverse the statement?

[oblique root]

async def check_date():
    while True:
        now = datetime.datetime.now()
        if now.day == 1:
            await start_monthly_event()

        if now.day == 1 or 15:
            await start_biweekly_event()

        await asyncio.sleep(86400)

what is the correct way to have the bot check for 2 different days for the biweekly event?

[unkempt canyon]

Why do we need asynchronous programming?
Imagine that you're coding a Discord bot and every time somebody uses a command, you need to get some information from a database. But there's a catch: the database servers are acting up today and take a whole 10 seconds to respond. If you do not use asynchronous methods, your whole bot will stop running until it gets a response from the database. How do you fix this? Asynchronous programming.

What is asynchronous programming?
An asynchronous program utilises the async and await keywords. An asynchronous program pauses what it's doing and does something else whilst it waits for some third-party service to complete whatever it's supposed to do. Any code within an async context manager or function marked with the await keyword indicates to Python, that whilst this operation is being completed, it can do something else. For example:

import discord

# Bunch of bot code

async def ping(ctx):
    await ctx.send("Pong!")

What does the term "blocking" mean?
A blocking operation is wherever you do something without awaiting it. This tells Python that this step must be completed before it can do anything else. Common examples of blocking operations, as simple as they may seem, include: outputting text, adding two numbers and appending an item onto a list. Most common Python libraries have an asynchronous version available to use in asynchronous contexts.

async libraries
The standard async library - asyncio
Asynchronous web requests - aiohttp
Talking to PostgreSQL asynchronously - asyncpg
MongoDB interactions asynchronously - motor
Check out this list for even more!

He's sleeping using asyncio.sleep, so no exactly

    await member.send(f"You have been temporarily muted from: ***{guild.name}*** for **{desctime}** | {reason}")
    await asyncio.sleep(tempmute)
    if mutedRole in member.roles:
        await member.send(f"You have been unmuted from: ***{guild.name}***")
        await member.remove_roles(mutedRole)

[naive briar]

But yeah, task loop is also a great choice

!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").

[oblique root]

so it is checking for it, that's not the issue, what is happening, and sorry for not explaining enough in my question, is it thinks every day is "1" for the biweekly, so it is triggering on every day

[naive briar]

discord.py's task loop can do that for you

In the time argument, you can give it exact time to run

!d datetime.time

[unkempt canyon]

datetime.time

class datetime.time(hour=0, minute=0, second=0, microsecond=0, tzinfo=None, *, fold=0)```
All arguments are optional. *tzinfo* may be `None`, or an instance of a [`tzinfo`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html#datetime.tzinfo "datetime.tzinfo") subclass. The remaining arguments must be integers in the following ranges...

[naive briar]

Or just make it run every day and check the day Ig

[oblique root]

i think that is the issue, the reloading of the bot lol

[flint bolt]

is there any way i can add an image/gif to my discord bot's activity?

no i mean as in my discord bot is playing an activity and i want to see if i can add an image to that playing activity

[oblique root]

thanks everyone who pointed me in the right direction, it is working as intended now.

[flint bolt]

alright lmao

[oblique root]

i am a grade below novice when it comes to python, i wish i could help ya, but i don't think i can

bad_word_count = open("bad-word.json")
in_memory_word_count = json.load(bad_word_count)
```py

def write_word_count_to_list(in_memory_word_count):
with open('bad-word.json', mode='w') as f:
json.dump(in_memory_word_count, f, indent=2, sort_keys=True)

def add_words(user):
try:
with open("bad-word.json", mode="r"):
in_memory_word_count[f'{user.name + user.discriminator}'] = int(in_memory_word_count[f'{user.name + user.discriminator}']) + 1
write_word_count_to_list(in_memory_word_count)

except KeyError:
    with open("bad-word.json", mode="r"):
        in_memory_word_count[f'{user.name + user.discriminator}'] = 1
        write_word_count_to_list(in_memory_word_count)

def check_words(user):
with open("bad-word.json", "r") as total_words:
total_words_data=json.load(total_words)
return total_words_data

this is how i updated a json file in my last discord bot

yeah, i don't know what im doing

i am literally having chat gpt explain things to me in steps, and sometimes have to have them explain it to me as if i were 5

[naive briar]

ChatGPT doesn't know everything and it can give incorrect information

[oblique root]

i don't like the way it codes most of the time, but it usually gives me something i can work with haha

my favorite thing about chat gpt is the lists it can make me for json files, i am building an art themed discord channel, so character generators are fun, and in the past i had to think of all the words, now chat gpt spits out list without hesitation

[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]

how do i stop cloudlfare from blocking my bot

import discord

client = discord.Client(intents=discord.Intents.all())

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
if message.content == '!test':
await message.channel.send('This is a test')

client.run(''LOLIMNOTGIVINGUMYBOTTOKENLOL')

[naive briar]

You're spamming something or using replit

Also reset your bot token if that is what you just sent

[unkempt canyon]

@nimble cradle Per Rule 6, your invite link has been removed. If you believe this was a mistake, please let staff know!

Our server rules can be found here: https://pythondiscord.com/pages/rules

[slate swan]

no i took some of the token code outand replaced it with LOLIMNOTGIVINGUMYBOTTOKENLOL so theres no way u can get into the bot and also im using a test server too so u cant nuke it or anything even if u did find the token

[vale wing]

Fyi some of token might be reconstructable because iirc only one part of it is a security hash

[tawny arrow]

hey guys, im getting this cloudflare error
things i've tried :
1.) kill 1
2.) created a new application on discord developer portal
but it didn't work.
also, im using uptimerobot to keep my bot running 24/7

[vale wing]

When the replit

Replit is impossible to use for hosting bots yall should already know

[naive briar]

Most of them don't

[vale wing]

!replit

Sus

[slate swan]

Whats the easiest way to check if a message contains a key from a json dict?

[vale wing]

Maybe better to formulate it like "any of dict keys is in message"?

Code looks like the phrase in that case

any(k in message.content for k in your_dict)```

[upbeat otter]

replit hacker plan 😳

[vale wing]

Replit hacker 🥶

[tawny arrow]

😭

[vale wing]

I've been looking for hosts in Russia recently, we got no "free trial" options but hey there are pretty nice options just for 3$

[upbeat otter]

github student plan? (idk if you're ineligible)

[vale wing]

I am eligible but I doubt they would recognise hand-written text on my student ID and we don't have mails

Also hosting service will ask for card verification anyway most likely

[upbeat otter]

then verify.

😳

[vale wing]

Man I am in Russia

You can no longer use russian cards outside of Russia 😩

I have one from bank that's not under sanctions yet it doesn't work too

[upbeat otter]

tf is happening in Russia 💀

no offence

[vale wing]

at least it's not ohio

[vale wing]

I am not into politics, economics and other unpleasant stuff (that's not the channel topic anyway) but from what I know we just got disconnected from SWIFT which does international payments and visa and mastercard stopped handling international transactions between Russia and other countries, we only got russian Mir payment systems that is accepted in some CIS countries

[upbeat otter]

oh

[vale wing]

Google/apple pay don't even work, we have MirPay and SberPay

[upbeat otter]

Never even heard of those

[vale wing]

Of course you haven't

That's exclusive for Russia 😉

[upbeat otter]

lmao

[fresh wigeon]

guys i am new at making a discord bot can you give me the basic code cuz i want to learn. Thanks😀

[slate swan]

do you have any earlier experience with python?

[fresh wigeon]

yea

[slate swan]

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

[fresh wigeon]

thanks

[upbeat otter]

check if you have multiple python instances running, if not that, regen your bot's token

[slate swan]

or maybe a process_commands inside a listener

[slate swan]

What arguements did you give

Can discord bots read a json with spaces in its keys?

Mine doesnt work if I dont use a key without spaces

[craggy sleet]

hey guys! super quick question, what library should i use to create select menus? or do you not need another library and can do them in discord.py itself?

[sick birch]

You can do them in discord.py

Here let me get the link for the example I wrote

[upbeat otter]

well that should be possible, doesn't make a difference

[sick birch]

Here you go https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/examples/views/dropdown.py @craggy sleet

[craggy sleet]

thanks

[light violet]

how can i take the rest of the sentence whole as an arg?? lie if i type . search this and that, it is only accepting the first word ie this as the arg how to make the arg as this and that

[slate swan]

    async def rijal(self, ctx, message):
      weak = "weak"
      unknown = "unknown"
      if narrators[message] == weak:
       await ctx.send("This hadith is **unreliable**")
      elif narrators[message] == unknown:
        await ctx.send("This hadith is **unknown**""E")
      elif narrators[message] in unknown and narrators[message] in weak:
          await ctx.send("This hadith is **unknown** and **unreliable**")```

^^^ why cant my code read a key without a space? if my key is a:1

it works fine, but if it is " a a":1, it doesnt give anything

[upbeat otter]

I'm not sure what you mean by that

it's completely fine to have spaces

[light violet]

man pls help me how do i take the whole rest of the message as an arg

[upbeat otter]

and where is it erroring, specify the line

[upbeat otter]

ctx, *, message

[slate swan]

I get no error, thats the problem

[upbeat otter]

How do you know what the error is

[slate swan]

Because when the key has no spaces, it sends the messages, but when it has spaces, it doesnt

[upbeat otter]

is message the key you're searching for?

[slate swan]

Nah, im checking if the message is a key

[upbeat otter]

I mean if you run the command like !rijal a a
it will only grab the first a and leave the second one
you may want to add an asterisk before the message like here -> #discord-bots message

[slate swan]

I dont need to put an asterik anywhere else? Only in the param?

[upbeat otter]

yeah

[split forge]

  File "/home/container/.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/discord/client.py", line 108, in __getattr__

[mental hollow]

does jsk not work when creating buttons? like it just don’t create the button whatsoever?

I’m trying to jsk some code with a view which has some buttons, im passing the view when sending the message yet I’m still not getting my buttons

[sick birch]

async def multi_word_command(ctx, *, long_sentence):
  print(long_sentence)

And in discord:

!multi_word_command hello world! this sentence is composed of many different words.

Your console:

hello world! this sentence is composed of many different words.

[spring flax]

Kind of basic here but anyone know why I get this error

[cloud dawn]

Is the config inside the "classes" directory?

@spring flax

[spring flax]

nope

[cloud dawn]

Well you are doing a relative import so if you don't have from then it will now look for config.py inside the executed folder.

[spring flax]

but i can't use from

many of my relative imports don't work actually

[cloud dawn]

C:.
│   config.py
│
├───bar
│   │   bot.py
│   │   cheese.py
│   │
│   └───yes
│           lol.py
│           __init__.py
│
└───foo
``` With this tree; if we launch from `bot.py` we can import `cheese.py` by doing `import cheese` or import `lol.py` using the `from` keyword. Keep in mind you need `__init__.py` for Python to see the directory. An empty one is fine.

Now we can import lol by typing `from yes import lol`. Here there also is a file called `config.py`. This package is called a top level package because it's higher than the executed file. Generally you don't want to import top level packages since it's not pretty. It's also a security risk.

I recommend to put the config lower or the bot higher. @spring flax

[slate swan]

How would I get this to check messages even if they are in others? If I do !hadith (msg), it will run fine, but if its !hadith (msg other text) how can I get it to run? How can I get it to check if the key is in the msg?

    async def hadith(self, ctx, *,  message):
      weak = "weak"
      unknown = "unknown"
      if narrators[message] in message == weak:
       await ctx.send("This  is **unreliable**")
      elif narrators[message] == unknown:
        await ctx.send("This  is **unknown**")
        await ctx.send(narrators.values(unknown))
      elif narrators[message] in unknown and narrators[message] in weak:
          await ctx.send("This  is **unknown** and **unreliable**")```

Heres my json

{"Aban": "weak"}

hey I need help

[near wolf]

do you have multiple discords installed

pycord and discord.py

[slate swan]

no

I deleted nextcord

@near wolf

[near wolf]

run it without debug and show full traceback

[slate swan]

Okay

@near wolf

[slate swan]

Hello, can somebody help me how to make discord bot send dms from user to a selected channel?

[cloud dawn]

The user would need to also assign the channel id.

[cedar snow]

and a guild ID preferably 😉

[slate swan]

It's about a kind of ticket. To send a user's message to the bot after being sent on a private message, it was sent by the bot to the channel indicated by me

[cloud dawn]

Not really.

[cedar snow]

in his case, I guess it's just a wait_for in the user's DM

[cloud dawn]

Also no.

[twilit scarab]

Does anyone of you using cogs does have a decent button example for me?

using discord.py

[slate swan]

How can I check if a key from a dict is in a message string?

    async def test(self,ctx, *, message):
        keys = narrators.keys()
        for keys in narrators:
            if keys in message:
                await ctx.send("e")```

However, it doesnt work

{"Aban": "weak"} heres the json dict

[cloud dawn]

Attach the view to the message, has nothing to do with cogs.

[cloud dawn]

Wait for is pretty heavy so using on_message is a better option.

[cloud dawn]

Why not handle the chat inside his dm's then?

[cedar snow]

I'd just timeout after a while, ofc I'd set a limit

[cloud dawn]

if "key" in narrators.keys():
    # True if "key" in narrators keys.

[slate swan]

Yeah, but I need the message to be checked

[cloud dawn]

Depends how long the timeout is. If it's more than 15 min I'd use a on_message solution.

[cedar snow]

for sure, I was thinking like a minute

[cloud dawn]

All the separate words?

[twilit scarab]

I tried it this way;

 @cog_ext.cog_slash(description="Kreiere einen Button!")
    async def button(self, ctx: interactions.CommandContext):
      button = interactions.Button(style=interactions.ButtonStyle.PRIMARY,label="Click me!",custom_id="click_me")
      await ctx.send(components=button)

[slate swan]

Yeah, just need the message to be checked if it contains any words in the dict keys

[cloud dawn]

py-cord with discord components?

[slate swan]

I need to make a kind of a tickets system

[twilit scarab]

pycord with discord-py-interactions since discord components are not existing anymore

[cloud dawn]

if any(word for word in message.content.split() if word in narrators.keys()):

[twilit scarab]

i had it running with components.. a shame they removed it

[pliant gulch]

Isn't keys() kind of redundant

Also this can be made much easier because you require them as tokens

[cloud dawn]

Uh, no experience with that, sorry. Might try the py-cord official server. https://discord.gg/pycord

[twilit scarab]

Thanks ill give it a go

[cloud dawn]

I used this to not make it confusing.

[pliant gulch]

@command(...)
async def foo(ctx: Context, *message: str) -> None:
    if intersection := (set(message) & narrators.keys()):
        ...

*message captures each word and appends to a sequence

Rather than needing to do split

[cloud dawn]

Andy slow down you're using 4/5 new things for them rn 😂

But I agree nonetheless.

[slate swan]

Like this?

   async def test(self,ctx, *, message):
    if any(weak for weak in ctx.message.content.split() if weak in narrators.keys()):
        await ctx.send("e")```

(added the weak, so it can scan keys with the weak value)

[cloud dawn]

Give it a try. I highly recommend checking Andy's message too, more complicated but for sure more readable.

[slate swan]

Ah didnt see that

Thanks, both of you

[cloud dawn]

Learned that operator during advent of code & :3

[pliant gulch]

set intersection for that sweet sweet O(min(len(s), len(t)))

[slate swan]

@near wolf any comments?

[slate swan]

reinstall dpy, remove all libraries that use discord namespace

[cedar snow]

you don't have a file named discord.py in your projects folder, do you?

[slate swan]

that's not related, it wouldnt trigger that LOC

[slate swan]

I have a folder called discord bot

[cedar snow]

that doesn't matter

but yeah, having third-party ~forked discord libs installed can mess things up => delete them all & reinstall dpy

[slate swan]

Delete what discordpy?

Lol autocorrect

[pliant gulch]

Is this another discord_slash moment

Does pycord do the same

[cedar snow]

pip list for me
show us the output

[cedar snow]

could be, we're here to find out

[cedar snow]

hmm

nextcord is one of the issues
seems like you tried a previous shitty tutorial too 😉

[slate swan]

Also trying it to send the key that was found in the message, but it doesn tseem to work

     if any(weak for weak in ctx.message.content.split() if weak in narrators.keys()):
        await ctx.send("e")
     elif any(unknown for unknown in ctx.message.content.split() if unknown in narrators.keys()):
        unknown = "unknown"
        test = unknown in ctx.message.content.split()
        await ctx.send(test)```

json

```{"Aban": "weak", "test": "unknown"}```

use venvs to avoid such mess

!venv

[unkempt canyon]

Virtual Environments

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

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

Then, to activate the new virtual environment:

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

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

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

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

Note: When using PowerShell in Windows, you may need to change the execution policy first. This is only required once per user:

Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser

[cedar snow]

I'm not sure if you've tried debugging this, I would

[slate swan]

so what should I do?

[cedar snow]

2 options
either use venvs (you should learn them, the sooner the better)
OR
delete all python discord bot related libs and only keep the dpy one in your pip list

I opt the former

[slate swan]

WHAT ARE LIBS?

[slate swan]

Got no errors

Sorry for caps^^

[cedar snow]

libraries

[slate swan]

Oh

[cedar snow]

debugging ~trying to understand what the for loop is iterating over etc, chances are, it isn't what you think it is

also, can you tell us what "message" you tried to type AND what should happen? / what the intended purpose is

[frail notch]

How can I log the full command ran with my bot? At the moment I have py @client.event async def on_command(ctx): channel = client.get_channel(1059393082237403156) server = ctx.guild.name user = ctx.author cchannel = ctx.channel command = ctx.command await channel.send(f'`{user}` used `{command}` in `{server}` in `{cchannel}`')
But I want it to also log the peramaters (e.g *ban user1 10d)

[cedar snow]

example
!test shit should make the bot respond with "shit"

have you looked at ctx's attributes?

in the docs

[frail notch]

no 1 sec mb

[cedar snow]

hint: something with "command"

[slate swan]

What does venv even do

[frail notch]

got it, message_content

[slate swan]

The message is !test test

it should respond with the key, that was found in the dict, which is test, instead it responded with "e"

[cedar snow]

what do you think ctx.message.content.split() returns?

why aren't you using your *, message parameter?

[slate swan]

The message sent

[cedar snow]

you should only care about the argument aka what comes AFTER the command's name

if any(key for your_dict.keys() in message.split(" "):
maybe that'll clear some things up ⏫

or even better, if you instantly want the value, related to the key

for key in your_dict.keys():
  if key not in message.split(" "):
    continue
  await ctx.channel.send(f"The key found was {key}, the relating value is {your_dict[key]}")
  return```

there's obviously more efficient ways of doing this (by for example using := and the .get() method on a dict, also splitting the message on every iteration is shit), but this is just for educational purposes

[slate swan]

The problem with the for key in etc is that im not looking for one specific key, rather, im looking for all keys that are present in the message

[cedar snow]

in that case, you can store them in a list, and then do whatever you like with them

[cedar snow]

list_of_found_keys = []
for ... :
  if key not in ...:
    continue
  list_of_found_keys.append(key)
  # optionally, do extra stuff underneath

again, there are more efficient ways of doing this (by intersecting between 2 sets)...

[young dagger]

How do you check for users who reacted to a message?

I tried this but it returns empty list everytime

users = await message.reactions.get(emoji).users().flatten()

[cedar snow]

1. in what context are you using this ?
2. what intents do you have enabled?

[young dagger]

I'm trying to create a giveaway function for my discord bot. All intents are enabled.

[cedar snow]

also in the portal? I need to SEE it too

[cloud dawn]

[cedar snow]

lastly, any error handlers by any chance?

[young dagger]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/goyibigiye

[cedar snow]

you need to refetch the message, not sure

also, as stated, flatten is deprecated

[cloud dawn]

For 14 years already

[near wolf]

im back how is it now

[cedar snow]

lastly, a giveaway command is VERY delicate and you have to take a lot of stuff into account:
one of them being "what if your bot restarts?"
think about that

[young dagger]

I just want to get it working first 😄

[cloud dawn]

But..

Then you need to go back and redo it anyways..?

[cedar snow]

https://tenor.com/view/engineer-fixed-tape-gif-14723651

right, you're only making it harder for yourself

[young dagger]

I want to understand why it doesn't pick a winner

[cedar snow]

most likely because you need to refetch the message

[young dagger]

Even though there are users who reacted to the message

[cedar snow]

test = await test.channel.fetch_message(test.id)

THEN get the reactions of that message

I know, shitty variable names, but you get the point

you're trying to get reactions of the message when you sent it, not after the sleep/timer hits 0

[slate swan]

Hello, i need to create ticket system in dm with bot. Can somebody help me? (.py)

[cedar snow]

if you ctrl+f "ticket system" in this channel, you'll have loads of answers

[slate swan]

ok, ty for helping

[cloud dawn]

I'd use task and check at 12pm if there is a giveaway that needs to end then put that in a task. If the giveaway isn't today I wouldn't even bother to add it.

[cedar snow]

lastly, you should also check for giveaways which ended while the bot was offline

[cloud dawn]

... that can be done by assigning a giveaway id then also saving the message id and the end time. Then get the times on startup, using a query you can get the ones that are less than a day or expired.

[frail notch]

How can I fix this?

Defaulting to user installation because normal site-packages is not writeable

ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement discord-components

ERROR: No matching distribution found for discord-components

81718e89734b:~$ python --version
Python 3.8.8

[cedar snow]

why are you trying this command in the first place?

[frail notch]

To install discord-components

[cedar snow]

where did you get that from?

[cloud dawn]

discord-components doesn't work with that Python version. It's also an archived package and hasn't been updated in a year or so.

[frail notch]

oh

[cedar snow]

most likely a YT tutorial

[frail notch]

https://github.com/astrxnomo/discord-ticket-bot-py

[cloud dawn]

Discord.py has build in components.

[frail notch]

ok

[cloud dawn]

Discord.py is a very volatile library I wouldn't trust a source that's 3 months or older.

[frail notch]

alr

thanks

[cloud dawn]

Here is an example bot working with "components", we call those Views. -> https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/examples/views/counter.py @frail notch

[young dagger]

You mean like this?

message = await ctx.channel.fetch_message(message.id)

users = await message.reactions[0].users().flatten()

[cedar snow]

I still see you flatten stuff, but yeah, something like that

[cloud dawn]

flatten will give error.

[frail notch]

ok thank u

[cloud dawn]

I'd also use a specific emoji to avoid strange stuff.

[young dagger]

So what else should I use?

[cedar snow]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html?highlight=reaction#discord.Reaction.users
read the "examples"

also, when picking a random user, I wouldn't async iterate through the whole list for that tbh

[cloud dawn]

flatten was used to unnest a list, in this case your list is never nested also. So just remove it.

[cloud dawn]

This URL doesn't work for me.

[cedar snow]

strange, maybe try without the highlight?

[cloud dawn]

!d discord.Reaction.users

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Reaction.users

Returns an [asynchronous iterator](https://docs.python.org/3/glossary.html#term-asynchronous-iterator "(in Python v3.11)") representing the users that have reacted to the message.

The `after` parameter must represent a member and meet the [`abc.Snowflake`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.abc.Snowflake "discord.abc.Snowflake") abc.

Changed in version 2.0: `limit` and `after` parameters are now keyword-only.

Using intents in discord.py

Intents are a feature of Discord that tells the gateway exactly which events to send your bot. Various features of discord.py rely on having particular intents enabled, further detailed in its documentation. Since discord.py v2.0.0, it has become mandatory for developers to explicitly define the values of these intents in their code.

There are standard and privileged intents. To use privileged intents like Presences, Server Members, and Message Content, you have to first enable them in the Discord Developer Portal. In there, go to the Bot page of your application, scroll down to the Privileged Gateway Intents section, and enable the privileged intents that you need. Standard intents can be used without any changes in the developer portal.

Afterwards in your code, 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

# Enable all standard intents and message content
# (prefix commands generally require message content)
intents = Intents.default()
intents.message_content = True

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

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

man

[cedar snow]

Capital letter

[proud tiger]

Its Not do you wanna See the code

[cedar snow]

well, I'm telling you it should be

from discord import Intents
that's the correct import

as shown above by the bot

[proud tiger]

I wrote it lowercase

[cedar snow]

it shouldn't be written in lowercase

🧠

[cedar snow]

every casing here is correct

[proud tiger]

Oh,thank you for helping me i try it again.

[slate swan]

Help please

[cedar snow]

you're just blindly copy pasting whatever works for you, right?

[slate swan]

No

I'm not

I'm watching a tutorial on how to make a ticket system

[cedar snow]

then why are you using NextCord when we told you
#discord-bots message

[slate swan]

Because I don't know what's venvs

[cedar snow]

YT tutorials are bad for learning dpy

[cedar snow]

the bot told you

every command used in this channel which makes the bot say something is for a reason

[slate swan]

so then where should I follow tutorials other then youtube?

[cedar snow]

official documentation mostly

dpy changes (updates / has breaking changes )too often to make YT tutorials reliable, they're outdated quickly

[slate swan]

Oh

No wonder why every tutorial I follow I mostly get a error lol

[cedar snow]

makes sense

[cloud dawn]

Just filter last 3 months should be alright.

[slate swan]

yeah

[cedar snow]

they also use libraries etc which we don't use, so if you're asking for help, chances are way smaller of finding some, because we don't use third-party libs on top of the official dpy lib

[slate swan]

Oh

[proud tiger]

@cedar snow Had to fix a bit of my code it works now thanks!

[cedar snow]

👍

[cloud dawn]

Too bad there isn't a tutorial that fully does it correct.

[cedar snow]

pinned msg
#discord-bots message

[slate swan]

@cedar snow I found out why I got the error on "no imports discord.enum" its because I had another folder called discord bot

but now I have a different error

[cloud dawn]

Lacks a lot of details.

[cedar snow]

you've basically copy pasted someone else's code... ofc debugging will be hard then

[cloud dawn]

I think you also putted a slash command in a View class and put random variable tree there.

Remove the things you copy pasted and send the whole bot I see it's not long, let's see if that's correct first.

Let's build from there.

@cloud dawn but wait if I separate the commands from the class "ticket_launcher" wouldn't not work?

[cloud dawn]

Why not?

[slate swan]

I mean I just tried it out and it still does not work

[cloud dawn]

Error?

[slate swan]

There is no error

The bot successfully gets on but the slash commands don't work

what should we do

???

[sick birch]

the whole function and its decorator should be indented so it's in the class

The ticket function, I should clarify

[cloud dawn]

Slash command also doesn't get synced anywhere.

[slate swan]

Hmm he's telling me to take the slash command out of the class

[slate swan]

it is

[cloud dawn]

Also I don't mind it a lot but asking for 3th party payments is against Discord's ToS. Might be careful with that one.

[pliant gulch]

That's not syncing

[young dagger]

How can I add this?

[pliant gulch]

That isn't a slash command, that's a button

create an instance

you want to change if and else i guess

where do you see that at?

so how can we change None to something else than?

I have a bug now lol

it lets me spam to make tickets with no errors

@buoyant quail

[slate swan]

Aye, why isnt my text being read?

I did !test Abān, im using unidecode so it should remove accents

     unidecode(ctx.message.content)
     if any(weak for weak in unidecode(ctx.message.content.split()) if weak in narrators.keys()):
        unidecode(ctx.message.content)

        found = ' '.join([str(elem) for elem in keys])

        weak = "weak"
        await ctx.send(found)
        await ctx.send("e")```

^ i get no response though with accents

if i do !test Aban, it sends

Accents have different unicodes

I believe

[cloud dawn]

!charinfo ë

Hm, so how would I go about translating it into a normal letter?

!d unicodedata.normalize

[unkempt canyon]

unicodedata.normalize

unicodedata.normalize(form, unistr)```
Return the normal form *form* for the Unicode string *unistr*. Valid values for *form* are ‘NFC’, ‘NFKC’, ‘NFD’, and ‘NFKD’.

The Unicode standard defines various normalization forms of a Unicode string, based on the definition of canonical equivalence and compatibility equivalence. In Unicode, several characters can be expressed in various way. For example, the character U+00C7 (LATIN CAPITAL LETTER C WITH CEDILLA) can also be expressed as the sequence U+0043 (LATIN CAPITAL LETTER C) U+0327 (COMBINING CEDILLA).

[slate swan]

NFC, NFKC?

[cloud dawn]

That's the form you want them in.

[slate swan]

Whats the normal form?

[cloud dawn]

"The normal form KD (NFKD) will apply the compatibility decomposition, i.e. replace all compatibility characters with their equivalents. The normal form KC (NFKC) first applies the compatibility decomposition, followed by the canonical composition."

!e ```py
import unicodedata

def strip_accents(s: str) -> str:

[pliant gulch]

But description should be fine iirc

There is also a timestamp field in the actual Embed

I think that'll work too

I cannot remember if fields work too but maybe

Do you know what I'm doing wrong?

end_time = datetime.datetime.now() + datetime.timedelta(seconds=duration)
embed = discord.Embed(title=f'Giveaway: {prize}',

this answer is still relevant, dont format the username into the channel name because discord will rewrite it to something different if there are unacceptable characters in the name

Should I still keep: dt = datetime.now()

[sick birch]

yes

what units are duration in? Seconds?

[young dagger]

Yes

[sick birch]

You can probably just do

from datetime import datetime, timedelta
end_time = datetime.now() + timedelta(seconds=duration)
fmt_time = discord.utils.format_dt(end_time, "R")
embed = discord.Embed(..., description=f"... {fmt_time} ...")

I'm not great with Regex but if it does what I think it does it should be good

[hushed galleon]

well something SQL-based is quite suitable for a discord bot, and an SQLite database is a simple place to start
learning sql: https://sqlbolt.com/
learning the built-in sqlite3 module: https://docs.python.org/3/library/sqlite3.html#tutorial

[slate swan]

SQL seems hard

especially making the tables

[sick birch]

Everything seems hard till you try it 😄

[hushed galleon]

you can ask in #databases how to model your data, but in your case the simplest would be one table

with columns for guild_id, user_id, and channel_id

[slate swan]

(It should also be noted that an async library such as aiosqlite is more suitable for Discord bots than sqlite3, but the syntax, etc is almost identical)

[hushed galleon]

guild_id and user_id would be the unique identifier for someone's ticket channel, and if someone has a row in your table matching that then you know they created a ticket channel before, though not necessarily if that ticket channel still exists

[hushed galleon]

ive done recent benchmarks and found microsecond performance with simple queries, so you dont necessarily have to jump to one - that is unless you need to make a query that can take a while, which tbf you wont know until you write one

[slate swan]

True, it won't make much real difference in a lot of cases

[hushed galleon]

speaking of async wrappers, asqlite's pretty cool for this too, especially since it was written with discord bots in mind (and by the same maintainer of dpy)

(technically i cant say discord bots with evidence, but at least it optimizes sqlite for concurrency by default)

https://github.com/Rapptz/asqlite

[slate swan]

asqlite enables wal mode by default, that's pretty nice

[craggy sleet]

this is so confusing as to why its not working

but i created a few buttons and dropdowns that give roles and it works for a little bit like normal but then it randomly starts responding with 'this interaction failed'?

they work perfectly fine until a certain point where they just fail

[naive briar]

Timed out, you restarted the bot but the views aren't persistent, ...

[craggy sleet]

how do you keep them persistent?

oh

super().__init__(timeout=None)

do you just put timeout=None and it should be good? in the button classes

[hushed galleon]

you also need each button to have a unique custom_id, and you'll need to re-add the persistent view whenever your bot restarts

[slate swan]

*view classes, buttons don't have timeouts views do

[hushed galleon]

^

[craggy sleet]

sorry thats what i meant

[naive briar]

!d discord.Client.add_view

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Client.add\_view

add_view(view, *, message_id=None)```
Registers a [`View`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.ui.View "discord.ui.View") for persistent listening.

This method should be used for when a view is comprised of components that last longer than the lifecycle of the program.

New in version 2.0.

[craggy sleet]

this is an example of what one of my buttons looks like

[craggy sleet]

i see, i dont have view classes i just use discord.ui.View as my view

[naive briar]

Subclass a view

[slate swan]

views like that can't be made persistent

by "like that" i mean one defined inside a command, not any view that was initialised directly

[craggy sleet]

so should i add every view like this in my onready

[slate swan]

not in on_ready, use setup_hook instead

on_ready can get triggered multiple times, which will make the code attempt adding the view again

[naive briar]

!d discord.Client.setup_hook

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Client.setup\_hook

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

A coroutine to be called to setup the bot, by default this is blank.

To perform asynchronous setup after the bot is logged in but before it has connected to the Websocket, overwrite this coroutine.

This is only called once, in [`login()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Client.login "discord.Client.login"), and will be called before any events are dispatched, making it a better solution than doing such setup in the [`on_ready()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.on_ready "discord.on_ready") event.

Warning

Since this is called *before* the websocket connection is made therefore anything that waits for the websocket will deadlock, this includes things like [`wait_for()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Client.wait_for "discord.Client.wait_for") and [`wait_until_ready()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Client.wait_until_ready "discord.Client.wait_until_ready")...

[craggy sleet]

oh okay i see

would this be something that looks correct?

[slate swan]

how could I fix this???
