[potent spear]

right, that's a v2 thing, right?

[naive briar]

Like asyncio.Queue

[potent spear]

the example says otherwise
https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/tasks/

[naive briar]

The GitHub example says otherwise
https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/examples/background_task.py#L13-L25

[unkempt canyon]

examples/background_task.py lines 13 to 25

async def setup_hook(self) -> None:

[ionic garden]

IT WORKS

THIS MADE IT WORK

[potent spear]

you changed...?

[naive briar]

They probably forgot to change the docs

[potent spear]

ah, loading cogs correctly ftw Ig

[ionic garden]

i just had t put the cog loading inside setup_hook

the template lied to me jesus

[potent spear]

no, I think starting a task in async context isn't essential

they just do it in setup_hook because it's a startup / background task

[potent spear]

now fix the other stuff and you're all set

[ionic garden]

the other stuff? you mean the redundant on_message?

[potent spear]

that's one thing

.

[ionic garden]

.

[potent spear]

^ use your setup_hook more

no, do that in your setup_hook
you don't want a redundant if statement, doesn't matter if it gets triggered or not

[naive briar]

The example doesn't lie

[potent spear]

you copy pasted what exactly?

[naive briar]

Even trying to create new loop doesn't help, you need to run it in a async function 🤷

[potent spear]

ah, you just started outside the loop, I see

you're right most likely, stinky tasks

the question now is, where would you want to start a task when loading a cog?

[pliant gulch]

Did you start the loop

[naive briar]

Good question

[pliant gulch]

In cog_load & cog_unload

[potent spear]

right, yup

[pliant gulch]

You should make sure to unload in cog_unload otherwise you might get two running loops

And during active development that screams undefined behaviour too me

[potent spear]

you mean stop / cancel?

[smoky sinew]

@pliant gulch hello!

        async def button2(self,interaction: discord.Interaction, Button: discord.ui.Button):
                await interaction.response.send_message("Sorry, not available working soon.", ephemeral=True) ``` problem error no solution URL button?

[wicked atlas]

Link buttons cannot be made using the decorator. Instead, make then in the __init__ of your view
https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/20c7e261be125f4ad28a72550e0727c5b0380d11/examples/views/link.py#L30-L33

[unkempt canyon]

examples/views/link.py lines 30 to 33

# Link buttons cannot be made with the decorator
# Therefore we have to manually create one.
# We add the quoted url to the button, and add the button to the view.
self.add_item(discord.ui.Button(label='Click Here', url=url))```

[severe mural]

uhh hmm ok check

@wicked atlas example look correct?

[wicked atlas]

put the second line you're pointing to inside your __init__ as well

[severe mural]

Already look image

[wicked atlas]

you've put a url variable there, but not the self.add_item(...) line

[severe mural]

hmm how is?

hmmm

[wicked atlas]

your __init__ ends here

[severe mural]

hmm maybe confuse lol: try code:

        def __init__(self):
            super().__init__(timeout=None)
            self.participants_count = 0
            url = 'https://www.google.com/search'

        async def button(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, Button: discord.ui.Button):

                await interaction.response.send_message("You are already in the giveaway!", ephemeral=True)
            else:
                if participantRole2 != None:
                    if participantRole not in interaction.user.roles and participantRole2 not in interaction.user.roles:
                        await interaction.response.send_message("You dont have a role!", ephemeral=True)
                    else:
                        await self.adduser(interaction)
                elif participantRole not in interaction.user.roles:
                    await interaction.response.send_message("You dont have a role!", ephemeral=True)
                else:
                    await self.adduser(interaction)
                    
        self.add_item(discord.ui.Button(label='View Giveaway', url=url))
        #@discord.ui.button(label="View Giveaway", emoji="🔗", style=discord.ButtonStyle.secondary)        
        #async def button2(self,interaction: discord.Interaction, Button: discord.ui.Button):
             #   await interaction.response.send_message("Sorry, not available working soon.", ephemeral=True)  ```

try you code fix?

[severe mural]

ah

done fix.

and?

[wicked atlas]

and what?

Did it work?

[severe mural]

button there last #@discord.ui.button(label="View Giveaway", emoji="🔗", style=discord.ButtonStyle.secondary) ....?

is ignore no?

[wicked atlas]

Yep, link buttons can't be created using the decorator, so you can remove that

[severe mural]

i see ok.

ok try on bot

@wicked atlas oh i see thanks

[wicked atlas]

How do I make it so I can make 10 buttons to a message using a for loop but also add a callback to each button without creating 10 callback functions?

Perhaps within the for loop? Because when I do it just makes the function of the last iteration in the loop (e.g. 10th function)

[hushed galleon]

this is where subclassing discord.ui.Button would significantly improve your code because then you could achieve a syntax like this: ```py
view = discord.ui.View()
for i in range(1, 10):
view.add_item(AnswerButton(i))

send view

``` though of course each button needs some way to know the answer, and thats where you'd ideally want to encapsulate your view's state in a discord.ui.View subclass

the tic tac toe example on github is an alright example if you want to figure out how they organized the logic between the buttons and the view
https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/examples/views/tic_tac_toe.py

[shrewd apex]

i would just use the custom id ig

[jaunty hare]

why now it tolds me this, i already add ffmpeg to enviroment variables and the path is correct

[hushed galleon]

discord/discord-api-docs#3961

[lament depot]

GitHub

[discord-api-docs] #3961 Add User Flag 1<<20 (SPAMMER) to User Docs

[hushed galleon]

presumably other flags they might have arent documented for a similar reason

[hushed galleon]

looking at the docs you're not meant to just pass the folder but the full path to that executable, in your case probably C:\ffmpeg\bin\ffmpeg.exe

or you could add C:\ffmpeg\bin to your PATH environment variable and not have to configure executable= at all, which might be more ideal if you have (or will have) some other software that needs ffmpeg

[jaunty hare]

nah, i dont have other software that uses ffmpeg, but let me try

still giving me the same error

[hushed galleon]

which approach did you take? if its changing PATH, you'll need to restart your terminal/editor for your changes to apply

[jaunty hare]

oooh okay, let me restart

still the same error

okay, let me share the tutorial i follow to install ffmpeg

https://phoenixnap.com/kb/ffmpeg-windows

[waxen igloo]

how can i make errors log into a channel instead of console

[hushed galleon]

looks fine, did you remove your executable= argument too?

[hushed galleon]

you can handle the on_command_error event and send an embed there, though i would still suggest printing the traceback for unknown errors since that's quite important for debugging

[jaunty hare]

yeh but says this

[waxen igloo]

how

by errors i dont mean any specific error but instead anything that is logged into the console

[hushed galleon]

i mean removing the entire argument, not just the keyword part of it

[jaunty hare]

even the path?

[hushed galleon]

what else are you trying to handle? the on_command_error is invoked for all errors related to commands

[hushed galleon]

changing executable="..." to "..." is not removing the argument, you're merely changing it from a keyword argument to a positional argument, hence why the syntax error appeared

speaking of which that argument is almost certainly interfering with it since \f and \b are being recognized as escape sequences

[jaunty hare]

soo, how i should write it?

[hushed galleon]

either dont write it at all, or fix it so your file path isnt messed up by the escape sequence detection ```py

Let discord.py find ffmpeg in PATH

discord.FFmpegPCMAudio("my_audio.mp3")

...or escape each backslash so they're treated literally

discord.FFmpegPCMAudio("my_audio.mp3", executable="C:\ffmpeg\bin\ffmpeg.exe")

...or prefix the string with "r" to make it ignore escape sequences

discord.FFmpegPCMAudio("my_audio.mp3", executable=r"C:\ffmpeg\bin\ffmpeg.exe")

...or use forward slashes which are supported on windows

discord.FFmpegPCMAudio("my_audio.mp3", executable="C:/ffmpeg/bin/ffmpeg.exe")```

[jaunty hare]

alright, let me try bro

[waxen igloo]

Oh

[jaunty hare]

bro im starting to think that is vscode

cuz NO ONE of the options work

let me reinstall vscode

[jaunty hare]

vscode should be here no?

@hushed galleon BRO with pycharm doesnt give me the error

[slate swan]

why i do config.config it shows me error line

[naive briar]

What error line

[meager chasm]

U need _init_.py in the package

[slate swan]

ohh

[slate swan]

you see the config.config

[meager chasm]

U can click on Problems tab and it will tell you

[slate swan]

it doesnt have any quick fix

[meager chasm]

Yea because you need to add init.py in config dir to mark is as package

[slate swan]

ohhh thank you so muchh

i forgot about init file

[pulsar kettle]

Working on a message delete log and I tried to make it so it detects deleted images too. It work when there's:
text no image, text 1 image and image no text but whenever I have text and 2 images or no text 2 images it always either replaces the text with a duplicate image or duplicates an image regardless. Any thoughts?

@bot.event
async def on_message_delete(message):
    if message.author.bot:
        return
    embed = discord.Embed(description = f"**A message sent by {message.author.mention} has been deleted in <#{message.channel.id}>**\n{message.content}", color = 0xf6ff00, timestamp = discord.utils.utcnow())
    if message.attachments:
        if len(message.attachments) == 1:
            if message.attachments[0].url.endswith(('.jpg', '.png', '.jpeg', '.gif')):
                embed.set_image(url = message.attachments[0].url.replace('cdn.discordapp.com', 'media.discordapp.net'))
            else:
                embed.add_field(name="Attachment", value = message.attachments[0].url)
        else:
            for attachment in message.attachments:
                embed = discord.Embed(description = f"**A message sent by {message.author.mention} has been deleted in <#{message.channel.id}>**", color = 0xf6ff00, timestamp = discord.utils.utcnow())
                embed.set_image(url = attachment)
                channel = bot.get_channel(1067413418597953637)
                await channel.send(embed=embed)
    embed.set_author(name = f"{message.author.name}#{message.author.discriminator}", icon_url = message.author.avatar)
    embed.set_footer(text = f"User ID: {message.author.id} • Message ID: {message.id}")
    channel = bot.get_channel(1067413418597953637)
    await channel.send(embed = embed)```

Also noticed the duplicate log has the user and message ID whilst the others do not

How to add voting system in a discord bot like after every 12 hrs it sends a reminder

[slate swan]

why the else: is wrong indented

[vocal snow]

Because the channel.send is not inside the if statement

[fresh fern]

can anyone help me

[vocal snow]

Have you made the voting system and you want to add the reminder?

Or are you doing everything from scratch

[fresh fern]

no scratch only python

actually my bot is verified on top.gg

[sacred marlin]

hey I want to make my own bot from scratch

using python

[fresh fern]

help meeee

it's down?

that means we can't use it for now?

[nimble plume]

hi

how can i delete msg on_timeout

(view)

disnake

[vale wing]

You can set original interaction as attributes of your subclass and use delete_original_response() on timeout

[nimble plume]

example pls?

[vale wing]

class YourView(disnake.ui.View):
    def __init__(self, inter: disnake.ApplicationCommandInteraction):
        super().__init__(timeout=180)
        self.inter = inter

    async def on_timeout(self):
        await self.inter.delete_original_response()```

[nimble plume]

but how would i get that inter at the first place

[vale wing]

Ah yes I look like a spoonfeeder

[vale wing]

In a command

[nimble plume]

im using listenr

[vale wing]

If it is just a view attached to a message then use message instead of interaction

Same principle

[nimble plume]

ohk now i get it

sorry 👍 , and thanks

[orchid bear]

non discrod bot related but how can I fix this? im trying to make a discord bot

Aren't snipers disallowed?

[cunning pasture]

I don't know I can't read half the text. Try saving the file you're editing with cntrl + s or ensure that the file actually exists.

[cunning pasture]

You do

[pulsar kettle]

What are snipers?

[naive briar]

Logging deleted messages

[cunning pasture]

yeah

I added one but someone said it was not good for tos

[pulsar kettle]

I figured tons of bots have them so i assumed it was okay, is that incorrect?

[cunning pasture]

tons of bots also have/had music until discord said yeet ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[vale wing]

You need to read ToS by yourself or ask discord support

Actually they don't give a frick until somebody reports but that's not gonna happen cause nobody reads ToS

[cunning pasture]

and discord doesn't read reports

[cunning pasture]

Discord's privacy policy broke some laws in like France, didn't it? XD?

[pulsar kettle]

I heard about that

[cunning pasture]

what is the error you are getting?

[cunning pasture]

XDDD

I still have music on my bot because some other people do and IDK if its actually not allowed or not

[vale wing]

If you're downloading it from youtube it is not allowed

[cunning pasture]

Time to switch to spotify 💀

or maybe not, I don't think it matters if it's not monetized

[vale wing]

Spotify doesn't have API afaik

[cunning pasture]

it doesn't rlly matter u can still download songs from it XD

or stream them to a vc

[static holly]

I have no error but the bot still responds to itself

[cunning pasture]

https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/web-api/

also AFIAK they do

[vale wing]

Discord is getting rid of music bots with those activities

[cunning pasture]

IDK why I don't think it's a violation of copyright unless it's monetized

[vale wing]

Well is there endpoint for streaming music

[cunning pasture]

I don't know I haven't looked very far into it

Spotify URIs and IDs
In requests to the Web API and responses from it, you will frequently encounter the following parameters:

PARAMETER DESCRIPTION EXAMPLE
Spotify URI The resource identifier that you can enter, for example, in the Spotify Desktop client’s search box to locate an artist, album, or track. To find a Spotify URI simply right-click (on Windows) or Ctrl-Click (on a Mac) on the artist’s or album’s or track’s name. spotify:track:6rqhFgbbKwnb9MLmUQDhG6
Spotify ID The base-62 identifier that you can find at the end of the Spotify URI (see above) for an artist, track, album, playlist, etc. Unlike a Spotify URI, a Spotify ID does not clearly identify the type of resource; that information is provided elsewhere in the call. 6rqhFgbbKwnb9MLmUQDhG6
Spotify category ID The unique string identifying the Spotify category. party
Spotify user ID The unique string identifying the Spotify user that you can find at the end of the Spotify URI for the user. The ID of the current user can be obtained via the Web API endpoint. wizzler
Spotify URL An HTML link that opens a track, album, app, playlist or other Spotify resource in a Spotify client (which client is determined by the user’s device and account settings at play.spotify.com. http://open.spotify.com/track/6rqhFgbbKwnb9MLmUQDhG6

[vale wing]

Well seems like only metadata

[cunning pasture]

I mean

You can still download songs from spotify the other way :p

[cunning pasture]

you can try

if not message.author.bot

to exclude bots

Or like probably

not message.author == self.user:

If it's in a cog

[static holly]

with else reply with "blablabla"?

[cunning pasture]

?

[static holly]

I wish that if the bot is mentioned then it must send this message "blabla"

[cunning pasture]

Oh that's what ur asking?

[static holly]

yes

[cunning pasture]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html?highlight=mentioned_in#discord.abc.User.mentioned_in

so like

user.mentioned_in(message)

[static holly]

dont work, i tried it...

[cunning pasture]

tried what?

[static holly]

user.mentionned_in(message)

[slate swan]

bot.user in message.mentions

[cunning pasture]

it's not user.

[slate swan]

this is bad, it will be True even if the mention was an everyone or a role ping

[cunning pasture]

it would be whatever_ur_user_is.mentioned_in

[slate swan]

or even if someone replied to the bot

[static holly]

if bot.mentionned_in(message)
  await message.channel.send (f"Désolé, je ne me parle pas à moi même...")

it dont work

[cunning pasture]

nono

sec

[slate swan]

!d discord.Client.user

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Client.user

property user```
Represents the connected client. `None` if not logged in.

[slate swan]

!d discord.ClientUser.mentioned_in

[flat pier]

mentionned

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ClientUser.mentioned\_in

mentioned_in(message)```
Checks if the user is mentioned in the specified message.

[flat pier]

also that ^

[static holly]

i need the bot.id?

no?

[slate swan]

read.

[static holly]

i dont understand the doc... 😕

[cunning pasture]

        if(self.client.user.mentioned_in(message)):
            await message.channel.send("Bonjour, comment allez-vous?")

[flat pier]

you just read it.. what? you can clearly see Client.user, if Bot is a subclass of Client what else could it possibly be

[slate swan]

bot.user returns the user of the bot
message.mentions returned tue mentioned users in the message

bot.user in message.mentions is if the bot was mentioned in the message
as simple as it gets

[cunning pasture]

if it's in a cog

[slate swan]

reason to not use mentioned_in ^

[cunning pasture]

bc you need class discord.abc.User

[cunning pasture]

Ok well you can also just

        if(self.client.user in message.mentions):
            await message.channel.send("Bonjour, comment allez-vous?")

it's not a big deal

!d discord.ext.commands.when_mentioned_or

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.when\_mentioned\_or

discord.ext.commands.when_mentioned_or(*prefixes)```
A callable that implements when mentioned or other prefixes provided.

[shrewd fjord]

Cool

[slate swan]

thats for the prefix specifically

[static holly]

i try it now!

[shrewd fjord]

Idk what he is trying

[slate swan]

not for checking if the bot was mentioned in message

[shrewd fjord]

So....

[cunning pasture]

His instructions are not clear

[slate swan]

im trying to survive ha. ha. ha.

[cunning pasture]

there is several ways to answer this question

[shrewd fjord]

Oh so he is trying to check if bot in the message's mention or not xd

[slate swan]

yeps

        if(self.bot.user in message.mentions):
            await message.channel.send (f"Désolé, je ne me parle pas à moi même...")
            return

i use "return" because i use other condition at the bottom of code

thanks all

[cunning pasture]

I don't actually know

The primary reason behind YouTube taking down these music bots is that both bots offer a premium subscription that offers a tad bit of extra features on Discord. As Google confirmed to The Verge, Google took down Groovy as it violated its Terms of Service, including modifying the service to use it for commercial purposes.

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[slate swan]

youtube doesnt support any kind of automations in general, it's against their ToS

- access the Service using any automated means (such as robots, botnets or scrapers) except: (a) in the case of public search engines, in accordance with YouTube’s robots.txt file; (b) with YouTube’s prior written permission; or (c) as permitted by applicable law;
- collect or use any information that might identify a person (for example, harvesting usernames or faces), unless permitted by that person or allowed under section 3 above;
- use the Service to distribute unsolicited promotional or commercial content or other unwanted or mass solicitations (spam);

[pulsar kettle]

What do discord.py cogs do exactly? I've only ever heard partial bits of info on them

[naive briar]

Make your code more organized and cleaner

[pulsar kettle]

Yeah i should definitely look into them then since I have 688 lines on one .py file 💀

[gusty pagoda]

Im looking to make a Discord bot that displays Embeds, that i can put information in (For announcement/rules display purposes)

Does anybody have a good template? Im finding it hard to find.

if you do feel free to send me a friend request or tag me 🙂 thanks

[jaunty hare]

I can help u with that

Feel free to dm me bro

[cloud dawn]

Anyone want to make a discord bot for me?

[maiden fable]

Depends

How many lemons am I getting?

[cloud dawn]

At least 0.5

[maiden fable]

Too less ;~;

What about 0.5*10?

[cloud dawn]

You strike a hard bargain I see.

0.5*5

[maiden fable]

1*3

[cloud dawn]

0.7*4

[maiden fable]

0.725*4?

[cloud dawn]

Deal

[maiden fable]

Yay

Wait, do I have to code the actual bot?

[cloud dawn]

Uhh

[maiden fable]

I have an idea
Gimme 0.7*4 lemons and u can code the bot yourself

[cloud dawn]

Ok but you code the base

[maiden fable]

Okay deal

[sick birch]

Tf going on here

[maiden fable]

Bargaining a good lemon deal

[cloud dawn]

Convincing Hunter to get better at coding.

[sick birch]

My ass
Get back to work

[maiden fable]

Okay seriously @cloud dawn what bot u coding nowadays?

[cloud dawn]

No Discord bots lol, I've pretty much made everything.

I'm coding for my internship still

[maiden fable]

Oh nice
Best of luck!

[cloud dawn]

FastAPI + Alembic with React, TS + Chakra

[slate swan]

can i just copy paste stackoverflowed code as a contribution?

[cloud dawn]

Hmm

Does it have a Client with slash commands that has extensions?

My way of doing it is still.. .interesting to say the least.

[slate swan]

😏 i have 3 clients, talk about one

[maiden fable]

Why use a Client for slash commands
Time to create a custom private wrapper for the API!

[cloud dawn]

Because Bot sucks ass

[slate swan]

we can have bamboo trees instead of command trees in our wrapper

[cloud dawn]

I can see myself forking hikari just to rename everything.

[maiden fable]

Or create a panda plugin

[cloud dawn]

Will be a pain to code the updates tough.

[slate swan]

discord.ext.panda

[cloud dawn]

I don't credit myself in code, but I sure as hell do code with panda's in mind.

[slate swan]

now i want to make a dpy extension with alternative app commands style

[cloud dawn]

Once I got 30+ years of experience, finally, I can create the ultimate Discord bot.

[fresh fern]

help how can i use mongodb on replit

im hosting my bot on replit

[cloud dawn]

You need to host a mongodb server for that.

[slate swan]

!pip motor

[unkempt canyon]

motor v3.1.1

Non-blocking MongoDB driver for Tornado or asyncio

[slate swan]

use the python driver and use it to connect to your url

[cloud dawn]

He would need a host first tough.

[slate swan]

right right

[fresh fern]

can anyone tell me step by step

[cloud dawn]

I'm guessing he got a local host rn.

[fresh fern]

or a video

[slate swan]

are you aware of mongodb atlas?

[fresh fern]

and u r right

[fresh fern]

i tried it

didnt work

whats this motor thingy

[cloud dawn]

Okay so you need to buy a host since otherwise you can better run the bot on your own pc. But it defeats the purpose of repl.it. Long story short, you can't use mongoDB without paying.

[slate swan]

that's how you use mongodb in a async python environment, basically pymongo for async code

[fresh fern]

free......

[cloud dawn]

You simply can't.

[slate swan]

atlas is basically free

[fresh fern]

i tried atlas

idk i just didnt work

[slate swan]

what issue did you face

[cloud dawn]

Just use a VPS and a docker compose.

[fresh fern]

there was no error on replit
but on pycharm it was working

[cloud dawn]

[elfin cloud]

i was ab to say

just buy a vps for like $5 with 4gb

u can easily run a proper bot on there

[elfin cloud]

u can most def find cheaper ones too

[cloud dawn]

4gb pff then you can run like 16 bots

[elfin cloud]

thats what im saying

[fresh fern]

@slate swan

[elfin cloud]

i always get 8gb because ive got more things on it too

but 4gb is MORE then enough

[cloud dawn]

Minecraft server on the side.

[elfin cloud]

Thats what I mean

[tough lance]

hllo

[cloud dawn]

Been playing some astroneer too.

[wraith meteor]

Anyone have some example of function run on nextcord using Context.invoke?

[cloud dawn]

You need to pass a command object.

[tough lance]

@maiden fable yo still remember me :D

[cloud dawn]

Either using Bot or the Context object then you need to get the right command. Using Bot.commands you can geta a list of commands, using nextcord.utils.find you can find it using the syntax as stated here -> ```py
member = nextcord.utils.find(lambda m: m.name == 'Mighty', channel.guild.members)

[wraith meteor]

hm i need to run function (nextcord bot) from python not from discord or the bot itsolf

[maiden fable]

Yea I remember u having a different much bigger name

[cloud dawn]

Zalgo is not allowed on the server, hence.

[maiden fable]

My username goes brrrr

[cloud dawn]

That's not zalgo

[wraith meteor]

how say HI to discord form python:)?

[cloud dawn]

H̴̾͐u̶̽͒n̸̓͌t̷͐̏e̴̐̄r̶̐̀ ̴̐̈|̷̾̔ ̵̆͗ᕂ̸̾͘ᘏ̸̽̏ᗢ̶͋̒ Zalgo go yeet

[maiden fable]

Wait I don't remembered it being zalgo or smth
Wasn't it a simple English lettered name?

[cloud dawn]

What?

[tough lance]

Mayonnaise on an escalator

A random Person

[wraith meteor]

i mean to run bot the function, not member dialog:)

[maiden fable]

Yes

[cloud dawn]

I don't get it

[white citrus]

How can i edit the embed before i sending it

[hushed galleon]

with attribute assignments and method calls...? that's the only way to modify a discord.Embed object

if you mean like editing an embed on an existing message, you just take the embed and change it, although it might be a safer idea to create a copy of that embed beforehand py embed = message.embeds[0].copy() embed.title = "New title" await message.edit(embed=embed)

[wispy solstice]

Does discord py support slash commands now ?

[sick birch]

That is correct

[wispy solstice]

No one told me even in docs
Is there a start base ?

Simple code to see

[sick birch]

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

Here's an example

[wispy solstice]

Thanks

[slate swan]

i have this code ```py
import discord
from discord.ext import commands
import aiohttp
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

headers = {
'User-Agent': 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:79.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/79.0'

client.run(token)```

im trying to scrape image from the site wikipedia.org

but I receive an answer in the form of text encoded in UTF-8 while I requested images

[fading marlin]

You're sending the response, which sends that huge text

await ctx.send(response)

Also, surely Wikipedia has an API?

[slate swan]

yes they have but ill change the link to WikiFeet after

WikiFeet don't have api

[slate swan]

yes because i wanted to know if it does the request to the right site if the site exist

but u can see i have a awaiy ctx.send(file=discord.File(await r.read()))

[fading marlin]

Have you tried sending the URL instead?

[slate swan]

yes and it goes to the right site

[fading marlin]

No, url = "https:" + image["src"] this url

[slate swan]

this line get the logo url 💀

im not sure i cant get the images because theres in not the option 'save the img as'

[slate swan]

where is ur bot = commands.Bot() ?

[golden edge]

omg

im so dumb

thank you i deleted on accident

fuck

now intents is broken

[cloud dawn]

You better not be using time.sleep

[cloud dawn]

Well what's there to say?

[golden edge]

i have all intents enabled

[cloud dawn]

Intents -> TypeError: __init__() missing 1 required keyword-only argument: 'intents'

[cloud dawn]

No lmao

intents not Intents

Non capital i

[bright wedge]

What is Comp?

Where did you define it

[austere vale]

      if message.author not in(guild.members) or self.bot not in(guild.members):  
        await message.author.send('Your message was not sent to the mods. Please double check and make sure both you and I are in that server.')
        return 
``` Can someone help me with this error please?
im trying to make an if statement to check if both a user and my bot are in a guild
```py

0|bot  | AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'members'

[bright wedge]

message.author is None

[austere vale]

ah thank you!

[slate swan]

Comp is my discord cleint and i defined it here

[austere vale]

if guild.get_member(message.author.id) is None:  
```could someone please help me with this error? im trying to make an if statement to check if a user is in a guild
```py

0|bot  |     if guild.get_member(message.author.id) is None:
0|bot  | AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'get_member'

[bright wedge]

You are defining the bot 2 times.

Just use one.

[bright wedge]

Define the guild

message.author.guild.get_member

[austere vale]

guild is defined here guild=self.bot.get_guild(msg.content)

basically, someone is supposed to DM the bot a server id.
so I dm my bot a server id, which is stored in msg.content

[bright wedge]

You want this work in dms?

[slate swan]

so which one do i delete

[austere vale]

yes, trying to make a mod mail basically

[bright wedge]

The first one

And enable intents!

[austere vale]

so its basically goes like:

User sends bot a message
Bot: please give me the server ID you want to send this to
User: server.id
Bot: your message has been sent!

[bright wedge]

msg.content is string

Do int(msg.content)

And check

[austere vale]

  @commands.Cog.listener()
  async def on_message(self,message):
    if message.guild is None and message.author.bot is False:
      await message.author.send('Please provide the Server ID of the server you want to send the message to. For example: 702824491667161160')
      try:
        msg = await self.bot.wait_for('message', timeout=15.0)
      except asyncio.TimeoutError:
        await message.author.send('You didn\'t answer in time, please be quicker next time!')
        return
      #if the member or bot are not in the mentioned server 
      guild=self.bot.get_guild(int(msg.content))
      if message.author.guild.get_member is None:  
        await message.author.send('Your message was not sent to the mods. Please double check and make sure both you and I are in that server.')
        return

0|bot  | AttributeError: 'User' object has no attribute 'guild'

[bright wedge]

if guild == discord.Guild

[austere vale]

so should i put the if message.author.guild.get_member inside an if guild==discord.Guild?

[bright wedge]

For first

You need to define if the message is on dms or guild channel

[austere vale]

how and where would i do that?

[bright wedge]

if isinstance(message.channel, discord.DMChannel):

[sick birch]

discord.DMChannel is enough

[bright wedge]

Thx!

Didn't know that

[sick birch]

🙂

[slate swan]

may someone please help

[bright wedge]

Install the discord py

Lastest version.

[austere vale]

sorry, where would i put this? would it be

      try:
        msg = await self.bot.wait_for('message', timeout=15.0)
        if msg(nextcord.DMChannel):
          pass

[bright wedge]

What we are trying to do now

Waiting for what message? After user sends the guild id?

[austere vale]

yes msg is the one where the user sends the guild id

[bright wedge]

So what we are waiting for now

The message?

Or the guild id?

[austere vale]

the guild id

[bright wedge]

Read this wait_for example https://gist.github.com/Soheab/e73ab6f66881ee4102be37815da3a24e

[austere vale]

thanks for the example! i changed my code to this

  @commands.Cog.listener()
  async def on_message(self,message):
    if message.guild is None and message.author.bot is False:
      await message.author.send('Please provide the Server ID of the server you want to send the message to. For example: 702824491667161160')
      def check(m: nextcord.Message):
        return m.author == message.author and m.guild is None and m.content.isdigit()
      try:
        msg = await self.bot.wait_for('message', timeout=15.0, check=check)
      except asyncio.TimeoutError:
        return await message.author.send('You didn\'t answer in time, please be quicker next time!')
      #if the member or Runa are not in the mentioned server 
      guild=self.bot.get_guild(int(msg.content))
      if guild==nextcord.guild() is False:
        return await message.author.send('You did not provide a server ID. Please resend your message and try again.')
      if message.author.guild.get_member is None:  
        return await message.author.send('Your message was not sent to the mods. Please double check and make sure both you and I are in that server.')
```now im getting this error. do you know what i should be fixing?
```py
0|bot  | Ignoring exception in on_message
0|bot  | Traceback (most recent call last):
0|bot  |   File "/usr/local/lib/python3.8/dist-packages/nextcord/client.py", line 512, in _run_event
0|bot  |     await coro(*args, **kwargs)
0|bot  |   File "/home/Runa/bot/cogs/moderation.py", line 162, in on_message
0|bot  |     if guild==nextcord.guild() is False:
0|bot  | TypeError: 'module' object is not callable

[bright wedge]

if guild == discord.Guild

[austere vale]

oh capital G?

[bright wedge]

discord.Guild is object

Yes and remove brackets ()

but you already do this check

if message.guild is None

So just use else (if guild exists)

Oh nvm now I see what you did

[austere vale]

i think the issue is that every time i send the bot a message its just going to trigger the entire on_message event to run again. maybe i should try using buttons/embeds or something for mod mail

[bright wedge]

I can tell you how I would do it.

[austere vale]

sure!

[bright wedge]

You can use a select menu

And create a option for each guild

But maybe you need to work on it

[slate swan]

dm me if you know how to make embeds in self py

[bright wedge]

Because if the bot and user share many guilds (50+)

You will need another and faster way to define the guild.

You got me?

[bright wedge]

#rules

[austere vale]

ahh i see. thank you so much

[bright wedge]

It's not good method

If user and bot share many guilds.

But you can optimize it

[austere vale]

i'll look into it tomorrow, thank you for the suggestion

[green jacinth]

does anyone have know if its possible to fetch a number of results using a specific search in the search bar?

Like this

[bright wedge]

Using bot right?

[green jacinth]

yes discord.py

[flat pier]

if you mean through the bot you can't use that type of search as its limited to actual users only

[green jacinth]

ah ok, thank you

[flat pier]

but you can use history to check through channel history

[green jacinth]

any alternatives do you think?

[green jacinth]

ah

[flat pier]

let me find the docs for it rq

[bright wedge]

You can use channel history

[flat pier]

!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...

[green jacinth]

Ok. because I wanted to make a counter of messages sent in a channel and it would take the amount of results and send it when a player runs a command

[flat pier]

you can also call this on VoiceChannels & DMChannels

[flat pier]

this could be hard to do with ratelimits depending on how many messages are in the channel and what you're trying to count exactly

[green jacinth]

makes sense

[flat pier]

alternatively you could just track message counts yourself with an on_messsage (if all you're trying to do is count messages sent in channels) and then save that count for each channel to a database, but ofc you wont get the total channel count, only what your bot could see in the time its had access to the channel

[exotic maple]

Hey how do i get a user from their ID using discord API because the bot does not share any servers with that user

this is what i got so far but i got an error

[bright wedge]

make a request in discord API
/users/{user.id}

The id will be the first in result

[exotic maple]

can you write an example or send some documentation pls

[bright wedge]

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

No I can't write code for you .

[exotic maple]

the documentation is fine

thx

[waxen igloo]

how to edit a voice channel name?

[bright wedge]

get channel and then you can do
channel.edit(name=newName)

!d discord.Guild.get_channel

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.get\_channel

get_channel(channel_id, /)```
Returns a channel with the given ID.

Note

This does *not* search for threads.

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

[green jacinth]

how do i make it so the user can put in 2 options and depending on what they type on second option it sends a different thing with slash commands?

[slate swan]

how can i get my self to joina server using my own self bot

[static holly]

i have this :

    @commands.command()
    async def say(self, ctx, *, arg):
        await ctx.send(f"{arg}")
        await ctx.message.delete()

what is the condition to add to prevent the bot from talking to itself if I mention @bot in the !say command?

Quoting someone and putting a nerd emoji after it does not give your argument any credibility, FWIW

[primal token]

No more selfbots

[slate swan]

what can i do with a self bot

[sick birch]

You're also not getting help with that attitude, disregarding the fact that it's malicious

[slate swan]

and whys it so bad

[sick birch]

It's in violation of Discord's terms of service

[slate swan]

why

[sick birch]

Because there's not many legitimate reasons to be automating a user account

[slate swan]

there is

[sick birch]

I never said there wasn't.

90% of the time it's for malicious reasons

[slate swan]

what could the malicious reasons be

[sick birch]

Rationale nonwithstanding rules are rules

[slate swan]

i dot see what u could do tahts malicious

[sick birch]

Do you not? I see plenty. Spamming Discord channels, spam creating Discord channels, spamming user's DMs, mass solicitation, mass advertisements, spreading mass malware, among many other

It's all too easy to be flooding Discord with requests with a self bot

[slate swan]

u can do all that with bots so i dont see why making self bots not good

[primal token]

Then just use a bot

[slate swan]

no

[slate swan]

Someone I used to know used a self-bot to cheat in a server event that involved finding hidden message reactions scattered throughout the server.
Also self-bots break Discord's terms of service.

I don't think discord.py even allows you to connect with a token if the account isn't a bot user anymore.

[sick birch]

Can you show us your project directory structure?

[pulsar kettle]

Like this?

[sick birch]

Are you on VSCode?

[pulsar kettle]

Yep

[sick birch]

Can you send us a picture of the file structure on the left bar?

[sick birch]

That all?

[pulsar kettle]

Yeah

Wait do u need the

[sick birch]

Your main.py file should be outside the cogs folder

[pulsar kettle]

Outline and timeline tabs

[sick birch]

Nah

[pulsar kettle]

Extension 'cogs.test' raised an error: AttributeError: module 'discord.ext.commands' has no attribute 'commands' but now a folder called __pycache__ appeared in the cogs folder so I take it that's some progress

[sick birch]

Yeah that's supposed to happen

[sick birch]

@commands.commands() should be @command.command() (the 2nd command shouldn't be plural)

[pulsar kettle]

Yeah just fixed it

Extension 'cogs.test' raised an error: TypeError: object NoneType can't be used in 'await' expression

[sick birch]

Should be

async def setup(...):
  await ...

setup() was made into an async function in discord.py v2

[pulsar kettle]

Running !load test gives white text RuntimeWarning: coroutine 'BotBase.add_cog' was never awaited bot.add_cog(test(bot)) RuntimeWarning: Enable tracemalloc to get the object allocation traceback
Then if I run !test I get: Command "test" is not found

[bright wedge]

await bot.add_cog()

as @sick birch said must be in setup() function

so should be:

async def setup(bot: commands.Bot):
    await bot.add_cog(test(bot))

[pulsar kettle]

Thats with await bot.add_cog(test(bot))

Idk why it says it was never awaited even tho it says

async def setup(bot):
    await bot.add_cog(test(bot))```

[bright wedge]

run this

[naive briar]

I don't see the await statement

[pulsar kettle]

Yeah its fixed now

Now its just giving me Forbidden: 403 Forbidden (error code: 50013): Missing Permissions

[bright wedge]

its obvious error

error code: 50013 means that you don't have permission to perform that action.

[pulsar kettle]

Okay apparently it needs admin perms to send text messages, sure. But yeah its working now, thanks guys <3

[bright wedge]

the point is to know what are you doing

if you understand we are good!

[pulsar kettle]

👍

[whole sparrow]

How do I see when someone's an event host discord.py

[orchid bear]

help pls

[orchid bear]

code:

@bot.tree.command(name="new_enemy")
@app_commands.describe(enemy_name = "NAME")
async def new_enemy(interaction: discord.Interaction, enemy_name: str):
    embed = discord.Embed(
        title="Enemy name",

    embed.add_field(name="name", value=enemy_name, inline=False)
    await interaction.response.send_message(f"{await channel.send(embed=embed)}")```

[orchid bear]

it works but this shows whenever i run the command which i didnt want

[vocal snow]

What is your goal here

Why are you calling channel.send and then putting it in an fstring and passing that to send_message

[orchid bear]

my goal is to remove this

[orchid bear]

im sending it to other channel

logs

[vocal snow]

Why are you using send_message then?

[orchid bear]

idk i saw it in yt i think its for the slash command

[vocal snow]

But you don't want to send a message to the channel the command was used in right

[orchid bear]

yep

[slate swan]

Making a giveaway system and I got the reactions and embed working, it's just I don't know why my bot isnt editing the giveaway message and making a new message about who won the giveaway. Here is the code: ```@bot.command()

# convert time, with my amazing maths!!!
if 'd' in time:
time = int(time.strip('d')) * 24 * 3600
elif 'h' in time:
time = int(time.strip('h')) * 3600
elif 's' in time:
time = int(time.strip('s'))
else:
await ctx.send("Invalid time format. Use 'd' for days, 'h' for hours and 's' for seconds.")
return
seconds = time

embed = discord.Embed(title=f"{name} Giveaway", description=f"{winners} winner(s) can win! Time left: {seconds} seconds.", color=0x00ff00)

message = await ctx.send(embed=embed)

await message.add_reaction('🎉')

await asyncio.sleep(time)

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


users.remove(bot.user)

winners_list = random.sample(users, winners)

winners_text = "\n".join([f"<@{user.id}>" for user in winners_list])
embed.add_field(name="Winners:", value=winners_text, inline=False)

await message.edit(embed=embed)

await ctx.send(f"And the winners of the {name} giveaway are... {winners_text}! Congratulations!")```

If anyone can help thank you.

[shrewd fjord]

Maybe your bot's script is closing before the gw ends?

[slate swan]

maybe I am unsure.

[shrewd fjord]

Try putting some small times like 5 secs or something

[naive briar]

Anyone here who can help me get my discord bot hosted on aws

[ionic garden]

I want low ms with my bot. I already get 40ms ping

i want 20ms

[shrewd fjord]

It's probably your internet problem, if u running the bot on your local system

[slate swan]

Mate...

I use pebblehost to host my bot and get 40ms ping

Apparently AWS has the fastest servers

[slate swan]

Digital Ocean what do i pick

[rare echo]

i mean you can just run it in a droplet

[frail rock]

can someone help me, not super familiar with discord bots on python, just learning. I know other programming languages though

Add

await client.process_commands(message)

to the end of your on_message event

[frail rock]

thanks

so like this?

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
  await bot.process_commands(message)
#checking if the user came from the bot
if message.author == client.user:
  return
if message.content.startswith('$hello'):
#send message to channel
 await message.channel.send('Hello!')

[pulsar bridge]

Should work

[frail rock]

other than forgetting to comment something out

[pulsar bridge]

Oh wait, you're putting bot there, put client

[pulsar bridge]

^

[glad cradle]

mh, probably there's a problem with the mode

[pulsar bridge]

The mode is read text no?

[glad cradle]

btw rt is the default mode

[pulsar bridge]

Yea, I have a habit of specifying anyway ^^;

[frail rock]

what the fuck is up with the indentation in this language OMG

[pulsar bridge]

The indentation is great imo
makes it look neat af

[glad cradle]

are you sure that the file doesn't contains unknown symbols for the text mode?

[frail rock]

I want to pull my hair out give me brackets

[naive briar]

Python is love, Python is life

[pulsar bridge]

Yup

[frail rock]

I come from languages with brackets. this is such a pain

[naive briar]

And use discord.ext.commands.Bot if you want to create prefix commands

[frail rock]

I pasted your code in nexus and its giving me an indentation error

[glad cradle]

The only thing I can think of is that the file is saved with the txt extension but actually it isn't a txt file

[pulsar bridge]

@client.event
async def on_message(message):

  await client.process_commands(message)

  #checking if the user came from the bot
  if message.author == client.user:
    return

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

@frail rock, try this?

[pulsar bridge]

It opens, reads, and other programs treat it as such though...

[naive briar]

They're using Client

[glad cradle]

ah, then idk what's happening

[naive briar]

There's no process_commands

[frail rock]

hold on, it worked. was just throwing an "indentation error"

Yeah still not responding though

[pulsar bridge]

It's been workin for me, but if you have another way then shoot

[glad cradle]

shouldn't the process commands go at the end of the function?

[pulsar bridge]

I'll go to general help, thanks for trying though!

[frail rock]

thats it doesn't respond

[glad cradle]

.

btw you're using discord.Client right?

[frail rock]

yes?

[glad cradle]

then this won't work

[frail rock]

I don't know I just started using python for bots lmao. i do javascript normally.

how do I make it respond?

[glad cradle]

to get started you should use discord.ext.commands.Bot if you want prefix commands

[naive briar]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot

class discord.ext.commands.Bot(command_prefix, *, help_command=<default-help-command>, tree_cls=<class 'discord.app_commands.tree.CommandTree'>, description=None, intents, **options)```
Represents a Discord bot.

This class is a subclass of [`discord.Client`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Client "discord.Client") and as a result anything that you can do with a [`discord.Client`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Client "discord.Client") you can do with this bot.

This class also subclasses [`GroupMixin`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.GroupMixin "discord.ext.commands.GroupMixin") to provide the functionality to manage commands.

Unlike [`discord.Client`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Client "discord.Client"), this class does not require manually setting a [`CommandTree`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.CommandTree "discord.app_commands.CommandTree") and is automatically set upon instantiating the class.

async with x Asynchronously initialises the bot and automatically cleans up.

New in version 2.0.

[frail rock]

think I will just go back to javascript

I thought python would be super simple for this

[slate swan]

Python is pretty simple imo

You can’t just dive in head first you need to understand what you’re writing

[frail rock]

yeah i am a comp sci student but I don't work with python regularily

[naive briar]

It is if you know what you're doing

[frail rock]

I am familiar with many other languages just not python

I wanted to give it a go because I really like python but I don't have formal understanding of the syntax

[slate swan]

Then use one of the other languages you are familiar with lol

[slate swan]

You definitely want to know more than the syntax to try and make a bot

[frail rock]

yeah I have watched like a video or two but I don't fully know how the library works

if there's like documentation that might help

[slate swan]

How do you use slash commands in cog files?

@commands.command()
    async def test(self, ctx):
        await ctx.send("Pong")```

[naive briar]

!d discord.app_commands.command

[pulsar kettle]

Is it the same an in regular?

[unkempt canyon]

discord.app\_commands.command

@discord.app_commands.command(*, name=..., description=..., nsfw=False, auto_locale_strings=True, extras=...)```
Creates an application command from a regular function.

[pulsar kettle]

So this? If so it's not working

@app_commands.command()
    async def hello(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):
        await interaction.response.send_message("Hello")```

Probably missing somethign aha

account made 1 day ago

[naive briar]

What is not working then

[pulsar kettle]

Sorry should have sepcidfied, the slash command doesnt appear when i put /hello

[naive briar]

Did you sync

[pulsar kettle]

Smooth brain moment, how do you sync

Everytime i tried to check if updated commands work i just closed the terminal and reran the bot

[naive briar]

!d discord.app_commands.CommandTree.sync

[unkempt canyon]

discord.app\_commands.CommandTree.sync

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

Syncs the application commands to Discord.

This also runs the translator to get the translated strings necessary for feeding back into Discord.

This must be called for the application commands to show up.

[pulsar kettle]

So like this in the cog file?

@commands.command()
    async def sync(self, ctx) -> None:
        await ctx.bot.tree.sync(guild = ctx.guild)
        await ctx.send("Successfully synced")
        print("Successfully synced")```

[distant python]

bot.http.__session is this not where the clientsession is

how do i remove a line

i mean delete it

@distant python

[distant python]

yo

[light violet]

help me

.

[distant python]

bro what

[light violet]

its defined in the txt file

[distant python]

ok good for you i dont know whats in ur text file

[light violet]

no error on that i just want to delte that line

[distant python]

what does this have to do w/ discord.py go to a normal help channel

[light violet]

like this
test1xtest2

1st line

[light violet]

its for my bot only lmao

if u know.......then help me pls

[distant python]

ok but its not related to the discord.py library

[light violet]

ok

[distant python]

therefore its not relevant to this channel

how to add persistent select menu? i have example https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/examples/views/persistent.py
but example with buttons, and when i'm doing like in this example i have error

how do i simply make a cmd with 2 confirmation yes no buttons in side the cmd only and not in any class

[cloud dawn]

That will be one hefty command

[light violet]

pls help me

i need a simple one

!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.

[shrewd fjord]

U can create button using this

the button needs to be have a callback

!d discord.ui.View

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ui.View

class discord.ui.View(*, timeout=180.0)```
Represents a UI view.

This object must be inherited to create a UI within Discord.

[white citrus]

Hey there, can anyone help me?

[naive briar]

Just ask

[light violet]

i dont want the class method

@client.command()
async def gen(ctx,amt:int=None):
  button1 = Button(label="Confirm", style=discord.ButtonStyle.blurple, emoji=':blue_circle:')
    
  async def button1_callback(interaction):
    
    if interaction.user.id!=ctx.author.id:
      return
    else:
        
      await refresh(ctx)
  button1.callback = button1_callback
  button2 = Button(label="Cancel", style=discord.ButtonStyle.blurple, emoji=':blue_circle:')
    
  async def button2_callback(interaction):
    
    if interaction.user.id!=ctx.author.id:
      return
    else:
        
      break
  button2.callback = button2_callback
  view = View(timeout=60) 
  view.add_item(button1)
  view.add_item(button2) 
  await ctx.send("Initiating...Want Refresh?",view=view)```

[naive briar]

Why

[light violet]

how do i wait for button click and then do rest of the function

[light violet]

its will be long and complicated

[naive briar]

It not, the way you want to do it will just make it unreadable

And the way you have to create button instances, set the callback by setattr, adding to the view is way way longer

Just subclass the view

[white citrus]

After I have selected the Administrator Role, the Administrator Role should be checked because it is no longer none

If I run the command again, the embed is correct

[cloud dawn]

Is this Python?

[cloud dawn]

We don't help with self-bots.

[tough fern]

noo this is not self bot, just a discord bot dashboard project

[cloud dawn]

Oh, well you know Hikari has an restAPI for this?

[tough fern]

no, can tell me more?

[tough fern]

btw why rate limited

[white citrus]

@cloud dawn @tough lance the code is here btw

[cloud dawn]

Nah.

No documentation found for the requested symbol.

[tough fern]

what's the pro n cons using this API (vs regular discord API)

[cloud dawn]

Pro not using the base API, Pro it's actually pretty gut

If you can find a con lmk

[tough fern]

btw i'm using flask too, how to combine this with flask?

[slate swan]

yes

[cloud dawn]

Flask with an async API..?

[tough fern]

no

[cloud dawn]

[slate swan]

i have a dashboard running with fastapi and hikari

[slate swan]

flask[async] exists

[cloud dawn]

Bless your soul.

[cloud dawn]

Please stop

[tough fern]

💀 lol

[slate swan]

but fr just use fastapi, much better than flask

it's easy too

[tough fern]

combined with HTML too?

[slate swan]

yes

it supports jinja templates as well

[tough fern]

send me a bit of its code

[slate swan]

https://github.com/sarthhh/anya-web ignore the frontend*

you can find hikari related code in discord_rest.py and fastapi stuff in app.py

[cloud dawn]

If this had migrations it would be a true masterpiece.

[slate swan]

is it a bug in which bot react's twice?

[cloud dawn]

Sounds like a feature.

[slate swan]

i mean

[cloud dawn]

Fr tough; check task manager, your bot is likely running twice.

[slate swan]

oh yeah 💀

vsc is glitched

[cloud dawn]

Did you use any CTRL+ commands?

[slate swan]

yea

[cloud dawn]

Yeah most likely you used CTRL+Z what suspends a process not kills.

CTRL+C is kill

[slate swan]

ic

[pliant gulch]

HTML with no CSS or SCSS?

Why did they publish that package in the first place

it's owned by danny as well, probably just to occupy the discord namespace on pypi

Showed w similar error

[naive briar]

Then send the error

[obsidian kindle]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/wulazafori

^ for idna

[slate swan]

your poetry is broken then

yet another reason to why not use replit

[obsidian kindle]

what do I do now

[obsidian kindle]

which compiler is the best for discord bots

ill just copy the codes in them and use that instead

[slate swan]

just use a local ide for coding

vscode pycharm or something

[obsidian kindle]

what do you recommend

[slate swan]

i use vscode

[obsidian kindle]

it works fine in that?

[slate swan]

any editor will work just fine

[obsidian kindle]

except replit XD

[slate swan]

replit is bound to python 3.8 by default and bugs often

you can't do much about it if you don't know nix

[obsidian kindle]

just copying the code in vscode will work right

apart from installing the other packages

[slate swan]

yes

you'll have to install python on your device ofcourse.

[obsidian kindle]

im installing a recommended extension by vscode for python

[slate swan]

yeah that is needed as well

but you'll have to install the python interpreter too

[obsidian kindle]

what

[slate swan]

code doesnt run magically with a run button

there's resources required for that

you'll have to install a particular language's compiler for the language's file to run

https://www.python.org/downloads/

[obsidian kindle]

I have python installed

how do I install the latest discord @slate swan

[slate swan]

pip install discord.py

[obsidian kindle]

showed an error

pip : The term 'pip' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the
spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.
At line:1 char:1

• pip install discord.py

[shrewd fjord]

python -m pip install

not sure about the command

[naive briar]

No module named 'install'

[obsidian kindle]

um

what do I do now

[naive briar]

python -m pip install discord.py

Or run getpip

[slate swan]

python -m pip install ...
py -m pip install ...
python3 -m pip install ...
python3.<your python version> -m pip install ...

any one of them should work

if they dont then you dont have pip

[gusty flax]

In python's case, an interpreter/compiler!

[slate swan]

^

i was talking about languages in general yeah

[obsidian kindle]

I have python

[obsidian kindle]

it returned with

ERROR: You must give at least one requirement to install (see "pip help install")

[notice] A new release of pip available: 22.3.1 -> 23.0

[slate swan]

replace ... with the package you want to install (discord.py) lol

[obsidian kindle]

oh forgot lol

should I update pip tho

[slate swan]

if you wish

[obsidian kindle]

it would work without updating?

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='!')
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
TypeError: BotBase.init() missing 1 required keyword-only argument: 'intents'

this was the error it returned

am I missing something in the code?

[shrewd fjord]

!intents

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.

[shrewd fjord]

Intents are now required kwarg in new discord.py v2.0

[obsidian kindle]

its showing invalid sytax for import discord lol

I should change it to discord.py?

[gusty flax]

pip install discord.py do this

[shrewd fjord]

python -m pip install discord.py

[obsidian kindle]

SyntaxError: invalid syntax

pip install discord.py
File "<stdin>", line 1
pip install discord.py
^^^^^^^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

I had just installed discord

[gusty flax]

try python3 -m pip install discord.py

[obsidian kindle]

python3 -m pip install discord.py
File "<stdin>", line 1
python3 -m pip install discord.py
^^^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

[gusty flax]

did u try what @shrewd fjord said with just python -m pip install discord.py

[obsidian kindle]

same error

python -m pip install discord.py
File "<stdin>", line 1
python -m pip install discord.py
^^^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

[gusty flax]

are u running that in terminal, cmd, or in code

[obsidian kindle]

terminal

[gusty flax]

it looks like ur running code

press control + c

and do it again

[vagrant raft]

python print ("hello world!")

[obsidian kindle]

its not running ig

[vagrant raft]

python -m pip install discord.py

[obsidian kindle]

I did ctrl +c

[gusty flax]

and did u do it again?

[vagrant raft]

python -m pip install discor.py

[obsidian kindle]

like, just got to the window and press ctrl +c?

[vagrant raft]

python -m pip install discord.py

[obsidian kindle]

done

[gusty flax]

yes then rerun that

did it work?

[vagrant raft]

python print ("hello world!")

[hushed galleon]

to clarify, you're inside a python interpreter right now, but the commands they're showing you need to be done in the terminal itself

[shrewd fjord]

...

[gusty flax]

^

so pressing control + c leaves that

[vagrant raft]

python -m print ("hello world!")

[shrewd fjord]

Unless he changed keybinds 💀

[hushed galleon]

well keyboard interrupt doesnt get you out of an interactive interpreter, its usually ctrl+D or ctrl+Z

[obsidian kindle]

its showing requirements already satisfied

[obsidian kindle]

I just opened up a new terminal and used that

[gusty flax]

then discord.py is installed

[obsidian kindle]

then why is it showing syntax error

I ran it again

[gusty flax]

can u send a screenshot

[hushed galleon]

syntax error means your python code has a syntax error, not that you have a missing library

[tawdry swallow]

A screenshot of the code could help

[shrewd fjord]

Discord isnt defined hmm

[gusty flax]

oh the code is giving syntax error

[tawdry swallow]

Oh god

[obsidian kindle]

?

[gusty flax]

||pls say thats not replit|| xD

[hushed galleon]

that snippet is showing linter warnings, but not exactly a syntax error...

[obsidian kindle]

its not replit

[hushed galleon]

do you have multiple versions of python installed?

[gusty flax]

^, it would be red

[shrewd fjord]

Nope it isn't

It's vs code

[obsidian kindle]

yes

[gusty flax]

thank the lord

[obsidian kindle]

then why

[tawdry swallow]

I had the same problem

[obsidian kindle]

is it showing the syntax error

[tawdry swallow]

I couldnt fix it so I just moved to pycharm lol

[gusty flax]

@obsidian kindle use a venv

[obsidian kindle]

what?

[gusty flax]

||pycharm is peak||

[shrewd fjord]

Can u show ur file structure?

[gusty flax]

virtual environment

[shrewd fjord]

python -m venv env

It's going to create virtual env for u

And on env folder u can install all following libraries

!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

[hushed galleon]

it is not a syntax error, its indicating that the python environment that vscode has selected doesnt have the modules installed - if you click the Python version on the bottom right of vscode you should see a list of python versions, have you made sure its selected the same python that you installed discord.py to?

[gusty flax]

^ ur interpreter will be installed here, and all of ur libs. Everything is enclosed, so u wont get issues with it not being recognized.

[obsidian kindle]

yes it is selected to the same python version

[hushed galleon]

what is the actual error that shows up when you try to run your code?

[shrewd fjord]

Hm gud ques

[obsidian kindle]

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='!')
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
TypeError: BotBase.init() missing 1 required keyword-only argument: 'intents'

[hushed galleon]

so the modules are correctly installed, you just need to fix the intents

[obsidian kindle]

^
after doing this

intents are correct tho

[gusty flax]

u need to pass em in with a kwarg

[hushed galleon]

!intents
