Since when is it in the standard library

[glad cradle]

ah no it's not on the stdlib

[slate swan]

requests is not a stdlib package, that's urllib.requests, requests is 3rd party

!d urllib.request

[unkempt canyon]

urllib.request

Source code: Lib/urllib/request.py

The urllib.request module defines functions and classes which help in opening URLs (mostly HTTP) in a complex world — basic and digest authentication, redirections, cookies and more.

I mean makes sense since mimetype need the actual file.

Also mimetypes won't "guess", it's a way to verify an extension reliably.

what are those random spikes

[cloud dawn]

Well those spikes since the X axis is so small in comparison to the timeline. Those are most likely public holidays. Since most people here are younger than the rest of the average age.

Could be numerous things.

you need to use a group command to have a subcommand

no

why don't you just use the description?

also, you can use an empty field add_field(name="name", value="\u200b")

Unresolved attribute reference 'black' for class 'Colour'

Black doesn't exist? 🤔

Should I just use discord.Color.default?

[hushed galleon]

discord.Color(0) would work too, or 0

[young dagger]

What is discord.Color.default? Does that equal to black?

[hushed galleon]

!d discord.Colour.default

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Colour.default

classmethod default()```
A factory method that returns a [`Colour`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Colour "discord.Colour") with a value of `0`.

[hushed galleon]

0 as in the hex value 0x000000, meaning 0 red, 0 green, and 0 blue, so black

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.

Is there a way to change position of voice channel using bot?

no

VCs are always shown at the last

I think they meant the order of the VCs in itself but yeah the answer is still no

[vocal snow]

!d discord.abc.GuildChannel.move

[unkempt canyon]

discord.abc.GuildChannel.move

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

A rich interface to help move a channel relative to other channels.

If exact position movement is required, `edit` should be used instead.

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

Note

Voice channels will always be sorted below text channels. This is a Discord limitation...

[sick birch]

Note the note

[vocal snow]

They will be behind the text channels but can me re-ordered within themselves ig

[verbal hawk]

Hi yall! I'm making a ticket system, and I have a problem with a piece of code that ensures that a user can't create multiple tickets in the same category.
Code:

`existing_channels = [channel for channel in guild.text_channels if channel.name.startswith(f"{category}-{author}")]
if existing_channels:
    ticketwarn = await ctx.send(f"You already have a  `{category}`  ticket open, please use that instead! {user.mention}!")
    await asyncio.sleep(3)
    await ticketwarn.delete()
    return`

this is before it creates a text channel btw
the ticket channel name format is {category}-{author}
However it does not prevent me from creating multiple tickets in the same category. What could be the issue with it?

[sick birch]

Can we see where author and category are defined?

[verbal hawk]

a category and a user variables are passed to the tickethandler function, I get author by doing author = str(user)[:-5], the category is defined in the function that listens for reaction, and is passed like this:

  if reaction.emoji == "1️⃣":
            category = "Owner"
        elif reaction.emoji == "2️⃣":
            category = "Donate"
        elif reaction.emoji == "3️⃣":
            category = "Other"
        await message.remove_reaction(reaction.emoji, user)
        asyncio.create_task(tickethandler(ctx, category, user))

both category and user are correct, because they are used in the title of the ticket channel

I tried printing the category and the author variables for debug but they are correct, and are what they are supposed to be

How can I solve the error message Local variable 'thumbnail_url' might be referenced before assignment?

                   for rank, url in rank_to_thumbnail.items():
                        if tier_and_rank.startswith(rank):
                            thumbnail_url = url

                        embed.set_thumbnail(url=thumbnail_url)
                    await ctx.channel.send(embed=embed)```

I'm getting the error because its inside the loop

thumbnail_url

[golden portal]

this error happens when thumbnail_url might not be defined by the time you're using that var, because if your if statement there is never true, its not gonna be defined, so you need to define it outside the for loop, ```py
thumbnail_url = None
for ... in ...:
...
if thumbnail_url:
...

[young dagger]

Thanks. How can I make this code easier to understand?

                    await ctx.channel.send(embed=embed)```

[golden portal]

um

whats the example string for tier_and_rank?

whats the point of that dict if you're gonna iterate through it

[young dagger]

Can't I use thumbnail_url = https://raw.communitydragon.org/latest/plugins/rcp-fe-lol-static-assets/global/default/images/{grab_from_the_list}.png

Then use emblem-challenger if starts with Challenger

[young dagger]

Silver 1, Silver 2, Gold 4 etc

[golden portal]

oh, couldn't you just split it then by space, get the first word

[young dagger]

Tier = Iron-Challenger
Rank = 1-4

[vocal snow]

You should just get the first word and use a dictionary lookup then

[golden portal]

i dont think dict a necessary, could just lower the word, and then do f-string with the url

[vocal snow]

Yes the URLs are very conveniently named

But if you're in a situation where you're using a dictionary solely for iteration, chances are you should use a list of tuples instead, dicts consume much more memory

[golden portal]

since the pattern is like that, you can use str.partition with space, lower it, then f-string with your url, ```py
rank, *_ = tier_and_rank.partition(" ") # first occurance split
lowered_rank = rank.lower() # lower-case
url = f'https://raw.communitydragon.org/latest/plugins/rcp-fe-lol-static-assets/global/default/images/ranked-emblem/emblem-{lowered_rank}.png' # basic f-string

should be fine since the only thing i see that changes in your url is the name

[young dagger]

You are a genius

[young dagger]

                    rank, *_ = tier_and_rank.partition(" ")  # first occurance split
                    lowered_rank = rank.lower()  # lower-case
                    thumbnail_url = f'https://raw.communitydragon.org/latest/plugins/rcp-fe-lol-static-assets/global/default/images/ranked-emblem/emblem-{lowered_rank}.png'  # basic f-strin

                    if thumbnail_url:
                        embed.set_thumbnail(url=thumbnail_url)
                    await ctx.channel.send(embed=embed)```

[golden portal]

the if statement is kinda redundant since its always gonna be truthy

[young dagger]

Not if they are Unranked

[golden portal]

yea you might wanna check the rank instead of thumbnail_url if thats the case

[young dagger]

How do I do that?

[golden portal]

check if the rank are valid in your predicate? its totally up to you, i dont know every single thing about your 'rank' unfortunately

[young dagger]

if lowered_rank == 'unranked':
    pass```

[young dagger]

What do you think about this?

                    rank, *_ = tier_and_rank.partition(" ")
                    lowered_rank = rank.lower()
                    if lowered_rank == 'unranked':
                        pass
                    else:
                        thumbnail_url = f'https://raw.communitydragon.org/latest/plugins/rcp-fe-lol-static-assets/global/default/images/ranked-emblem/emblem-{lowered_rank}.png'
                        embed.set_thumbnail(url=thumbnail_url)
                    await ctx.channel.send(embed=embed)```

[golden portal]

personally i would do like lowered_rank and lowered_rank != 'unranked', so that i check if lowered_rank is not empty or if its not unranked

doing if-else is not pretty

[young dagger]

[golden portal]

ctx.guild returns None there, this happens if the command is invoked in DM

[young dagger]

I think you are actually right. Someone must have run the command in the DMs. Do you know how I can solve this?

[slate swan]

so how can I guess the file extension without saving the file ?

[golden portal]

if you're using prefix command and you want it to be only be invoked in a guild, just set a commands.guild_only check so they can only invoke it in a guild

[bright wedge]

@commands.guild_only()

[slate swan]

I'd like to do the filter before py for ... In ... Because if the bot doesn't find a .jpg image it retries

[young dagger]

AttributeError: 'function' object has no attribute 'guild_only'

[young dagger]

Should I use it like this?

@client.command(name = 'setup')
@commands.guild_only()

[golden portal]

yes

[slate swan]

someo'e can help me to filtrer the image the bot have to scrape

[young dagger]

@commands.guild_only()
AttributeError: 'Command' object has no attribute 'guild_only'

[golden portal]

you have a command named commands that is shadowing discord.ext.commands

alternatively you should name your function as something else and use name kwarg to rename, py @client.command(name='commands') async def _commands(...): that way it doesnt overshadow your discord.ext.commands

[young dagger]

Now I have to add a error handling for discord.ext.commands.errors.NoPrivateMessage: This command cannot be used in private messages.

[golden portal]

ye

truthfully i would handle commands.CheckFailure and show the error directly to the user, this cover for all check errors

misc is a class there, you need to instantiate ```py

do it in a global error handler

well i haven’t made anything yet im jus looking for someone to help me get it

[sick birch]

You need to have a valid reason for message content to be granted to you

[young dagger]

Would this do the work?

@client.event
async def on_command_error(ctx, error):
    if isinstance(error, commands.CheckFailure):
        await ctx.send("This command can only be used in a server, not in direct messages.")```

[tough lance]

also do an else statement for other errors

[golden portal]

it works, but it isnt correct, commands.CheckFailure covers for all check errors, not just guild_only errors
pro tip is that you would do await ctx.send(str(error)), casting your error to str will show the actual error message, this is usually what most people do for generalized errors

[golden portal]

take a note on this as well, because you may ended up silencing your error

[young dagger]

How can I specify it to only detect guild_only errors?

[golden portal]

commands.NoPrivateMessage

[young dagger]

So this is what I'm looking for:

@client.event
async def on_command_error(ctx, error):
    if isinstance(error, commands.NoPrivateMessage):
        await ctx.send(str(error))
    else:
        # Handle other errors here
        raise error```

[golden portal]

[slate swan]

!d discord.ext.commands.CommandNotFound ignore this exception in yr error handler

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.CommandNotFound

exception discord.ext.commands.CommandNotFound(message=None, *args)```
Exception raised when a command is attempted to be invoked but no command under that name is found.

This is not raised for invalid subcommands, rather just the initial main command that is attempted to be invoked.

This inherits from [`CommandError`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.CommandError "discord.ext.commands.CommandError").

[young dagger]

So like this?

@client.event

    elif isinstance(error, commands.CommandNotFound):

so help me 💯

[sick birch]

Do what?

message intents

[slate swan]

Many bots don't require message intents at all. If it's your bot then you should have a clear idea of which intents it needs, and why.

[slate swan]

Where's the documentation for buttons with discord.py?

So I was testing around with the fetch_invite() method and ran into an error of exceeding 6000 characters in an embed, but I shouldnt be getting that error. So I made a test command and it still gives me the error of exceeding the 6000 limit. Here is the test command:

@client.command(name='vanitytest')
async def vanitytest(ctx, *, url=None):
    await ctx.message.delete()
    user = ctx.author
    if user.id == ownerID:
        embed = discord.Embed(colour = discord.Colour.red(),)
        try:
            result = await client.fetch_invite(url)
            embed.add_field(name=url, value='Valid', inline=False)
        except discord.NotFound:
            embed.add_field(name=url, value='Invalid', inline=False)
        return await ctx.send(embed=embed)

    raise HTTPException(r, data)

[slate swan]

what's the best way to set them up?

[naive briar]

Subclass the view object

[slate swan]

mehh

guys how do i make my bot update a message everyday? Like maybe an embed with the date in a separate locked channel that i wanna update like a calendar everyday?

How do you check if the button was pressed?

[naive briar]

The callback

[slate swan]

use datetime and after every 24 hours passes edit the original message/delete and resend

[slate swan]

alright!

[slate swan]

Wdym

[naive briar]

!d discord.ui.Button.callback

how can i make a function to show phi algorithm in terminal

with pyton

[maiden sonnet]

I created an economy bot with mongodb but for the bot verification i need my users to be able to get their data deleted. I just cant figure out how i could do this.. Can anyone help me?

[cloud dawn]

Make a command for it..?

[naive briar]

Who would have thought

[cloud dawn]

Also pretty sure economy bots either don't delete it or delete it on guild leave event.

[cloud dawn]

A cross guild economics bot could also delete if it is in no guild that uses the bot.

[maiden sonnet]

Its cross guild but i cant figure out how to delete the user ids of the people. For inventory for example

[cloud dawn]

How do you save them?

[maiden sonnet]

i used someone else their code and then changed a few things

Im not that good at coding so i just dont know how i could create a command that wipes the entire id and inventory

[cloud dawn]

Looked at docs, MongoDB confuses me, maybe someone at #databases knows?

[maiden sonnet]

ill try that

ty for trying to help tho

have a nice day 👍

so im trying to do that if someone sets a role with database so it will save it and everytime they will run a specific command i made itll mention the role, how do i start does anyone have tutorial or example

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/azobehodoy thats what i did

[shrewd fjord]

Please be more specific.

[tough lance]

Try if it works, we'll help if there's a problem.

Tias

[slate swan]

Like they run the command !set_role @rolemention

[shrewd fjord]

Yes

[slate swan]

and then when they run like !h so its pinging the role

[shrewd fjord]

!set_role mention

!h

[slate swan]

yes

[shrewd fjord]

I see

Pretty easy,
!set_role @lofty plovertion_the_role

[slate swan]

oh

[shrewd fjord]

Then in the database there should be 2 column

role_id and guild_id

[slate swan]

like i did that for now https://paste.pythondiscord.com/lozedufaha

[slate swan]

yes did that

[shrewd fjord]

Yes cool

[slate swan]

await cursor.execute("CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS role (guild INTEGER, role_id INTEGER)")

[shrewd fjord]

Yes too good

Now do is on set_role command try doing this
await cursor.execute(f"SELECT role_id FROM guild WHERE guild = {ctx.guild.id}")
data=await cursor.fethone()
if data is None:
#here u r going to insert values

then
#if it doesnt return None
else:
#update the role id on the database

Commit the changes and close connection as well as db

[slate swan]

oh i did that

[shrewd fjord]

Good job

Then u r almost done..

[slate swan]

ill try

[shrewd fjord]

No need

Your code is fine

[slate swan]

oh

[slate swan]

what do i have to do now then?

[shrewd fjord]

Thing is u need to close the database and connection too..

[slate swan]

oh

[shrewd fjord]

 else:
    await ....
 await cursor.close()
await db.commit()
await db.close()```

[slate swan]

fdid that

[shrewd fjord]

the else should be above cursor.close()

[shrewd fjord]

What is !h then?

[naive briar]

They both automatically closed after the context manager block ends

[shrewd fjord]

Oh yeah lmao

[slate swan]

should be mentioning the role they set in !set_role

[shrewd fjord]

I forgor, f, i am actually used to sqlite3 not aiosqlite aand idk what's my problem to use asynchronous lib 💀

[shrewd fjord]

Ok wait

if data:
                await cursor.execute('UPDATE role SET role_id = ? WHERE guild = ?', (ctx.guild.get_role, ctx.guild.id,))
            else:
                await cursor.execute('INSERT INTO role (role_id, guild) VALUES (?, ?)', (ctx.guild.get_role, ctx.guild.id,))```

Why this thing exist on !h then?

[naive briar]

They're the exact same, just aiosqlite is async binding

[shrewd fjord]

Yea ik, just too lazy to migrate to aiosqlite and change code a bit 🗿

[slate swan]

oh uh

idk tbh

[shrewd fjord]

Ok so

On !h
you should be fetching the datas not changing them

so if data:
#means the role_id exists...

so just do this

[slate swan]

oh right!

I need someone to help me solve one command.

In return, I can pay because I can't stand it mentally anymore. If anyone wants more details send me a dm.

[naive briar]

Just ask your questions

[shrewd fjord]

Then use get_role method

[naive briar]

No need to pay or anything

[shrewd fjord]

!d discord.Guild.get_role

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.get\_role

get_role(role_id, /)```
Returns a role with the given ID.

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

[slate swan]

tysmmm

[shrewd fjord]

I am on it

[shrewd fjord]

So u can now get the role role obj easily with this method and just now use role.mention to ping it or whatever

Also if data returns None then tell them to do set_staff first and set a role

Kinda ez imo

[slate swan]

is that good?

    async with aiosqlite.connect("main.db") as db:
        async with db.cursor() as cursor:   
            await cursor.execute('SELECT role_id FROM role WHERE guild = ?', (ctx.guild.id,))
            role_id = await cursor.fetchone()
            if role_id:
                if not role_id[0] == 1:
                    return```

[naive briar]

Why are you selecting twice

[slate swan]

oh oops

[shrewd apex]

whats == 1 for?

[slate swan]

 if data:
          em = nextcord.Embed(title="Leveling LeaderBoard", color=0x88e86f)
          count = 0
          for table in data:
              count += 1
              user = ctx.guild.get_member(table[2])
              em.add_field(name=f"{count}. {ctx.author.name}#{ctx.author.discriminator}", value=f"Level - **{table[0]}** | XP - **{table[1]}**", inline=False)
          return await ctx.send(embed=em)
    return await ctx.send("There Are No Users In The LeaderBoard 😢 ")``` smt like that now? did that in my old code-

[shrewd fjord]

No 💀

[shrewd fjord]

it's kinda correct

Just
if role_id:
role=ctx.guild.get_role(role_id[0])

This is how u get the obj

[slate swan]

oh not if role_id:
if not role_id[0] == 1:?

[shrewd fjord]

Nope

Wait 🗿

@shrewd apex or @naive briar

Is it going to return list?

Or directly going to return the jd

Id*, i kinda forgot

[naive briar]

Tuple

[shrewd fjord]

Oh yeah

[shrewd apex]

its indexable so dosent matter lol

[shrewd fjord]

Doesnt matter but imagine doing
guild.get_role(role_id)
And role_id returns tuple 💀

[shrewd apex]

unpack it or make a dataclass

[shrewd fjord]

Ye 🗿

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.

until now

[shrewd fjord]

So far so good except
role = get_role(role_id**[0]**)

[slate swan]

oh yeah

do i have to add more stuff or i finished?

[shrewd fjord]

U r basically dine

Done*, except idk still where are you going to use the role obj

[naive briar]

Why are you passing get_role meth as a value

[slate swan]

uh

its for getting the role id

[shrewd fjord]

Yeah i wonder too, like why u did so much work xd

[slate swan]

and taking it so i can do await ctx.send("<@&" + role + ">", embed=emeb12233, view=MyButton())

[shrewd fjord]

U can directly do f"{role.mention}"

[slate swan]

also an option yes

[naive briar]

Or just role.mention 🐈

[slate swan]

changed it

but i dont get it like whys the error

oh wait got it

[shrewd fjord]

Full traceback

[slate swan]

ctx.guild.get_role bc of that right

[shrewd fjord]

...

[slate swan]

what do i do instead just ctx.get_role

[shrewd fjord]

No?

[slate swan]

oh then

[shrewd fjord]

ctx.guild.get_role to be exact

One bad thing can happen is, if the role doesnt exist get_role will return None

Make sure to handle it :)

!d discord.Guild.get_role

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.get\_role

get_role(role_id, /)```
Returns a role with the given ID.

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

[slate swan]

if they mention a role that doesnt exists?

like !set_staff @hadsysysds

[shrewd fjord]

No think of they set the correct role but somehow today they decided to delete the role

So yeah

[slate swan]

ohh

Wait wait td

Bro 🗿

async def set_staff(ctx, role: discord.Role)

[slate swan]

WAIT

how did i

omg

[shrewd fjord]

Then on inserting values this should be (role.id, ctx.guild.id)

🗿💀

[slate swan]

yesyes tysmsmsmms

[shrewd fjord]

If any error i am here to get ur back or catglal xd

[slate swan]

role.id?

AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'id'

[upbeat otter]

role is probably None

[wintry canyon]

so i have a question

im trying to make a command

which can trigger midjournes command /imagine prompt

it sends out the message yeah, but it doesnt trigger midjourneys command

if message.content.startswith("$Midjourney"):
            midjourneyPrompt = " ".join(message.content.split()[1:])
            print(f"midjourneyPrompt: {midjourneyPrompt}")
            original_channel = message.channel
            target_channel_id = 1071107593692528660
            target_channel = bot.get_channel(target_channel_id)
            await target_channel.send(f"/imagine {midjourneyPrompt}")
            target_channel_response = await bot.wait_for('message', check=lambda m: m.channel == target_channel and m.attachments)
            image_url = target_channel_response.attachments[0].url
            midjourney_response = requests.get(image_url)
            await original_channel.send(file=discord.File(io.BytesIO(midjourney_response.content), "midjourney.png"))
            time.sleep(2)
            os.remove("midjourney.png")

[slate swan]

i did it also as an id and everything

[upbeat otter]

wdym?

[upbeat otter]

that's not how you trigger commands

[slate swan]

wdym by role is none? that i didnt mention a role or smt wrong w the code

[upbeat otter]

you simply can't write slash commands as normal messages

[upbeat otter]

how are you getting the role variable

[slate swan]

i dont rlly understand ur question

[wintry canyon]

then how could i trigger midjourneys command?

[upbeat otter]

it's a slash command?

[wintry canyon]

yessir

[upbeat otter]

from where are you getting the role variable for role.id

[slate swan]

oh, py @bot.command() async def set_staff(ctx, role: nextcord.Role): async with aiosqlite.connect("main.db") as db: async with db.cursor() as cursor: await cursor.execute('SELECT role_id FROM role WHERE guild = ?', (ctx.guild.id,)) role = await cursor.fetchone() if role: await cursor.execute('UPDATE role SET role_id = ? WHERE guild = ?', (role.id, ctx.guild.id,)) else: await cursor.execute('INSERT INTO role (role_id, guild) VALUES (?, ?)', (role.id, ctx.guild.id,)) await ctx.send(f"Successfuly set the helpme staff role to - {role.mention}") await db.commit()

there the role

[upbeat otter]

and you're trying to trigger it from a slash command?

like where you get journeyWhatever variable

[wintry canyon]

ye

so when i write /imagine press space then appears like a prompt box

for some reason the script cannot trigger that

[upbeat otter]

ah, i see, you shouldn't name these variables same

[upbeat otter]

oh

idk how slash commands can be invoked 💀

sorry

[slate swan]

oh.

ty ill try now

like

do i change it or what

[upbeat otter]

name, the var name

[slate swan]

okay

async def set_staff(ctx, role_: nextcord.Role):
like that

[upbeat otter]

hm, you could do that

[slate swan]

what do i do next then

SHAHDASHDYAG

TYSM TYSM EVERYONE THE HELPED AAHHAHAHHAH

[young dagger]

Sorry for being off topic. But how did you add that type of border for the image?

[slate swan]

oh no worries! ShareX

[young dagger]

Looks cool is it some kind of preset or did you create it yourself?

[slate swan]

Its an option there you can look at a tut

[young dagger]

Thanks

[waxen granite]

How to do auto update the stuff after someone updates the bot for their server?

[somber imp]

hey guys! i use an orm for postgres db. any how can i add a column to a table without needing those migration versions? its a one time thing

[normal reef]

how do you accept file from user

[slate swan]

So I was testing around with the fetch_invite() method and ran into an error of exceeding 6000 characters in an embed, but I shouldnt be getting that error. So I made a test command and it still gives me the error of exceeding the 6000 limit. Here is the test command:

@client.command(name='vanitytest')
async def vanitytest(ctx, *, url=None):
    await ctx.message.delete()
    user = ctx.author
    if user.id == ownerID:
        embed = discord.Embed(colour = discord.Colour.red(),)
        try:
            result = await client.fetch_invite(url)
            embed.add_field(name=url, value='Valid', inline=False)
        except discord.NotFound:
            embed.add_field(name=url, value='Invalid', inline=False)
        return await ctx.send(embed=embed)

    raise HTTPException(r, data)
discord.errors.HTTPException: 400 Bad Request (error code: 50035): Invalid Form Body
In embed: Embed size exceeds maximum size of 6000

[naive umbra]

try printing the url to see how long it is

[slate swan]

The thing is it was working just fine before I started adding more vanity URLS to check, even after reverting the code it still broke.

thats where we're at currently...

[naive umbra]

so you get an embed error despite there not being an embed sent here?

[slate swan]

exactly 💀

[naive umbra]

do you have an on_message listener?

[naive umbra]

nothing more to it?

[slate swan]

nope

[naive umbra]

i have no clue then, try asking in discord.gg/dpy

[slate swan]

sounds good, appreciate the attempt

[slate swan]

the error is coming from somewhere else where you tried to send an embed
Most probably because you have some event or task that does it

!paste send your full code

[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.

[slate swan]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/ilinezitic @slate swan

[naive umbra]

ah lol

    embed = discord.Embed(
        colour = discord.Colour.red(),
        title = f"Bot Error Found",
        description = "User: {} | Error: {}".format(ctx.message.author.name, error)
    )
```this could be the problem

errors can be quite long lol

especially dpy's

[slate swan]

what's the full traceback?

[slate swan]

str of error are not more than a line usually

but yeah that seems like the part where error comes from

[naive umbra]

now that i see the full traceback, i can assure you that the embed i sent above is the problem

[slate swan]

what can I do as an alternative?

just use print?

i use a log file

[naive umbra]

use discord.py's default logging

[slate swan]

or you can send the error in two seperate messages

@client.event
async def on_command_error(ctx, error):
    channel = client.get_channel(1056704831051542653)
    if isinstance(error, CommandNotFound):
        print(error)
        return
    if isinstance(error, commands.BadArgument):
        print(error)
        return
    if isinstance(error, commands.MissingRequiredArgument):
        print(error)
        return
    if isinstance(error, commands.CommandOnCooldown):
        await ctx.message.delete()
        embed = discord.Embed(colour = random.choice(colors),title = "**ERROR: Cooldown Active!**",description = (f'You Are On Cooldown! You Can Use This Command In: {round(error.retry_after, 2)} seconds.'))
        msg = await ctx.send(embed=embed)
        await asyncio.sleep(6)
        return await msg.delete()
    if isinstance(error, CheckFailure): 
        print(error)
        return
    embed = discord.Embed(colour = discord.Colour.red(),title = f"Bot Error Found",description = "User: {} | Error: {}".format(ctx.message.author.name, error))
    embed.set_footer(text="XIN Networks")
    embed.set_thumbnail(url='https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/788698131898171424/788702201832669194/XIN_GIF_3.1.gif')
    return await channel.send(embed=embed)

mind giving me an example of that? @slate swan

[slate swan]

yes but can you try printing the actual error that happened first?

before you tried to handle the exception

you might not need to do this if youre able to fix the main issue

💀 wall of text

you're ratelimited for that endpoint

[nocturne charm]

Hello! I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to share with you a project that I've been working on. I recently created a Discord bot that I think could be a valuable addition to your server. It's designed to enhance the overall Discord experience with a range of helpful features. I would love for you to check it out and let me know what you think. If you're interested, you can find more information and add the bot to your server by visiting its GitHub repository. Thank you for your time, and I hope you enjoy the bot!
here is the github: https://github.com/LuciHusband/Outro-Bot 😄

[slate swan]

would you happen to know any solutions to get around the fetch_invite() method rate limiting?

[slate swan]

that endpoint has strict ratelimits so i won't suggest making a command that uses such

one workaround would be using multiple bot tokens and making a seperate web request with a random token out of those

[slate swan]

not sure how id do that considering all of my other "node bots" are ran on the same server that appears to be limited

lol then respect the ratlimits 🙏

[slate swan]

fair enough, thanks for the help lads @slate swan @naive umbra

Get better

[slate swan]

Hey I have a question. Would you be able to make a discord bot that gives users a role that allows them to access all channel after typing in a 5 digit code which I can generate.
However, they will lose their rank ever 24 hours, forcing them to type in the same code in order to regain access to the server.
I would also like to have the ability to change the code whenever I'd like.

Thanks.

[plucky shoal]

It can be done

Though not sure about the 24 hour timer for every user in case you shutdown the bot for any reason

You have something so far?

[slate swan]

im a newbie

i tried java, didnt work

[plucky shoal]

Well that's something pretty advanced for a newbie

Maybe you should try to make a simpler function bot to get familiar

It'll help to avoid lots of mistakes later

[naive umbra]

sure

[shrewd fjord]

Proxies? 💀

[slate swan]

How do I check if the person who pressed a button is the same as the person who invoked the command?

[naive briar]

Store the user object in the class and check it

[slate swan]

Can you do interaction.user.id I don't remember if that exists

[naive briar]

Same thing

[slate swan]

How do you allow multiple button presses? Like for example, non author presses button it allows the button to still be pressed

[flat pier]

this should be the default behavior unless you manually disable the button when its clicked

[slate swan]

oh yeah I forgot I added self.stop() lol

[torn sail]

does anyone happen to know the color of an embed background in light theme?

[smoky sinew]

sure

[torn sail]

what is it?

[smoky sinew]

i'll figure it out right now

[torn sail]

oh thanks, how do you do it

[smoky sinew]

#FFFFFF

[torn sail]

nah its not that lol

[smoky sinew]

yes it is

[slate swan]

How can I only allow a command to be ran by the server owner? The deco only works for bot owner iirc

[smoky sinew]

color picker

[smoky sinew]

i literally color picked it from the discord website

[torn sail]

nah thats the color of the background, not the embeds background

thanks for telling me color picker tho

its 0xF2F3F5

[smoky sinew]

i see

[pulsar bridge]

Does member.flags still work?
It's throwing me a Member object has no attribute 'flags' error, but the docs say that it's an existing Attribute

[vocal snow]

where in the docs? I can't see it

[naive briar]

What docs are you looking at

[vocal snow]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html#discord.Member.public_flags there's this for stable

[pulsar bridge]

Those are the public flags, I wanted the member specific ones

[naive briar]

Just sort it

[pulsar bridge]

huh?

[vocal snow]

2.2 is latest (github master) version

[pulsar bridge]

right

[naive briar]

!d discord.PublicUserFlags

[unkempt canyon]

discord.PublicUserFlags

class discord.PublicUserFlags(**kwargs)```
Wraps up the Discord User Public flags.

[pulsar bridge]

There's a difference between the Public user flags, and the member specific flags, isn't there?
Public is for things like badges.
Member specific flags can tell you if the user has left and rejoined the server before. Which was what I'm trying to find.

[slate swan]

Can you access a users date of birth without making your own database and asking for user input? Since discord requires it to make an account.

[naive briar]

No

[slate swan]

Rip 😢

[clear elm]

i'm trying to make it so when someone uses /suggestion and the suggestion sends, a thread will be made by the bot on the message. i've almost got it, it currently does everything above except for make the thread on the suggestion. it creates it in the channel. here's my code

@bot.tree.command(name="suggestion", description="Sends a suggestion to our suggestion channel!")
async def _suggestion(interaction, suggestion:str):
    channel = bot.get_channel(1059976520376012811)
    suggestEmbed = discord.Embed(color=0xFF5349)
    suggestEmbed.set_author(name=f'New suggestion by {interaction.user}', icon_url = f'{interaction.user.avatar}')
    suggestEmbed.add_field(name='The suggestion is:', value=f'{suggestion}')

    message = await channel.send(embed=suggestEmbed)
  
    await message.add_reaction('✅')
    await message.add_reaction('❌')

    channel = bot.get_channel(int(1059976520376012811))
    thread = await channel.create_thread(
    name=f"{suggestion} Discussion",
    reason="Suggestion",
    type=discord.ChannelType.public_thread)

    embed=discord.Embed(title=f"Discuss {interaction.user}'s suggestion!", color=0xFF5349)
    embed.add_field(name="Like, dislike or want to add onto someones suggestion?", value="Do that here! In this thread, you can discuss what you like, dislike or something smiliar you'd like to see!", inline=False)
    embed.set_author(name = f'{interaction.user}', icon_url = interaction.user.avatar)
  
    await thread.send(embed=embed)
  
    embed=discord.Embed(title="Successful!", color=0x23B425)
    embed.add_field(name="This command was successful.", value="Your suggestion was successfully posted in [#1059976520376012811](/guild/267624335836053506/channel/1059976520376012811/)", inline=False)

    await interaction.response.send_message(embed=embed)```

i run the command, everything works but as you can see it makes the thread in the channel rather the on the message

[slate swan]

thats because you;re creating the thread in the channel, not the message

!d discord.Message.create_thread

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message.create\_thread

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

Creates a public thread from this message.

You must have [`create_public_threads`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Permissions.create_public_threads "discord.Permissions.create_public_threads") in order to create a public thread from a message.

The channel this message belongs in must be a [`TextChannel`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.TextChannel "discord.TextChannel").

New in version 2.0.

[slate swan]

How do you set channel permissions? I thought it's just channel.set_permissions(role, perms)

[clear elm]

so it'd be

type=discord.Message.public_thread)```

[slate swan]

no.

you're using the wrong method

thread = await channel.create_thread(
``` means create a thread in channel ...

you should be using ```py
message.create_thread(

[clear elm]

ok thanks

[slate swan]

sarth yk right?

[slate swan]

something like ```py
channel.set_permissions(role/member, permission_name=True/False)

where's the list of the permission names?

!d discord.Permissions

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Permissions

class discord.Permissions(permissions=0, **kwargs)```
Wraps up the Discord permission value.

The properties provided are two way. You can set and retrieve individual bits using the properties as if they were regular bools. This allows you to edit permissions.

Changed in version 1.3: You can now use keyword arguments to initialize [`Permissions`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Permissions "discord.Permissions") similar to [`update()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Permissions.update "discord.Permissions.update").

[slate swan]

check the attrs of this class, those are perm names

[clear elm]

do i need thread = await still?

[slate swan]

yep

[clear elm]

so it'd be?

    channel = bot.get_channel(int(1059976520376012811))
    thread = await message.create_thread(
    name=f"{suggestion} Discussion",
    reason="Suggestion",
    type=discord.Message.public_thread)```

or would it still be

    type=discord.ChannelType.public_thread)```

oh i dot need type

thank you so mucch, i spent so long on that and couldn't figure it out lol

[slate swan]

@slate swan How do you get the everyone role object

[slate swan]

!d discord.Guild.default_role

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.default\_role

property default_role```
Gets the @everyone role that all members have by default.

[slate swan]

or Guild.get_role(Guild.id)

[slate swan]

you need to typehint every param in a slash command

[clear elm]

what does that mean- 😭 i only started making slash commands recently, i used to just make normal commands

[slate swan]

def function(a: str, b: int):
  ...
``` telling the type of arguments in a function

[clear elm]

ohh ok

[slate swan]

you might have done something like ```py
async def command(ctx, member: discord.Member)

it's the same thing

[clear elm]

ok

What's the permission name to timeout members

moderate_members?

[naive briar]

!d discord.Member.timeout

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.timeout

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

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

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

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

[vocal snow]

are you sure you have a valid guild id?

[gloomy bramble]

is guild id and server id the same thing?

if so, then yes

[vocal snow]

yes

[gloomy bramble]

i have it written like this:

[vocal snow]

synced = await tree.sync(guild=discord.Object(id=Your_guild_ID_here))
print(f"Synced {len(synced)} commands")
``` you might want to add a print like that to debug

[gloomy bramble]

"synced" is not defined

[vocal snow]

define it, tree.sync returns the commands that were synced

    )

ah wait

[vocal snow]

^^

[gloomy bramble]

exactly what i did. check second line in screenshot

[vocal snow]

tree.sync returns the commands

why do you have an empty await

[gloomy bramble]

hmm

cuz that's what you sent here

oh wait ah. bro lemme fix.

"synced zero commands"

what do you mean "not working", are you getting an error?

[naive briar]

You're creating new client sessions and fileio every loop

[vocal snow]

as in, is the except part triggering?

[raw quail]

nope there is no errors but when i write a command on discord, its nothing happen but other commands are working well

only crawling function is not working 😭

[vocal snow]

remove the try-except, it should give you some idea

ohhh

and maybe add something in the else so you know if it's executing

thank you so much! i will try. but it was working as well before using cog. :((

[cunning pasture]

Are slash or traditional commands better?

[naive briar]

Prefix commands are far better in terms of argument parsing

[vale wing]

In terms they support arglist, I wouldn't say there are any more advantages regarding argparsing

The main advantage of prefix commands is there can be unlimited amount of them unlike slash commands

I can't really think of anything else

Hello,
Is there away to set permissions in a private channel?
For example like this:

for channel in ctx.guild.channels:
            await channel.set_permissions(muted, speak=False, send_messages=False, read_message_history=True, read_messages=True)

[clear elm]

how do i use this within my code?

[shrewd fjord]

Just edit the embed instead of sending
"You are viewing moderation commands now or smthing"

[clear elm]

where would i add into my code depending on what is selected python await edit_message(embed=moderationEmbed)

[shrewd fjord]

Just add this line instead of
await interaction.response.send_message(embed=moderationEmbed)
To
await interaction.response.edit_message(embed=...)

Not hard 🗿

Hello

[vale wing]

I've been sick recently so I didn't come to here often

[shrewd fjord]

Oh, hope you will get well soon.

[true scroll]

All the channels which don't have everyone role view permission

[vale wing]

I'm already fine ty

[shrewd fjord]

The bot should have permission to edit the channel then yes

[vale wing]

If the bot can't see them it won't be able to edit them neither

[shrewd fjord]

!d discord.TextChannel.set_permissions

[unkempt canyon]

discord.TextChannel.set\_permissions

await set_permissions(target, *, overwrite=see - below, reason=None, **permissions)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Sets the channel specific permission overwrites for a target in the channel.

The `target` parameter should either be a [`Member`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Member "discord.Member") or a [`Role`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Role "discord.Role") that belongs to guild.

The `overwrite` parameter, if given, must either be `None` or [`PermissionOverwrite`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.PermissionOverwrite "discord.PermissionOverwrite"). For convenience, you can pass in keyword arguments denoting [`Permissions`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Permissions "discord.Permissions") attributes. If this is done, then you cannot mix the keyword arguments with the `overwrite` parameter.

If the `overwrite` parameter is `None`, then the permission overwrites are deleted.

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

I'm trying to figure out who invited my bot to whatever server they invited it too

so far I was able to get the server name

but not the member who invited the bot

theres the code so far

I tried using integrations to get the name but it doesn't work

I tried using ctx to get the member name with ctx.guild.id but that doesn't work

Why

[naive briar]

It's API limitations

Is there any easier way to do this?

Oh you mean the s

That would add s if the queue len is 1

JUst got up `okay lol

heart

[young dagger]

Like this?

    title = "1 player is currently in the queue" if len(queue) == 1 else f'{len(queue)} players are currently in the queue'```

[proud apex]

how can you use a dictionary from another file and get data from it?

[cloud dawn]

!e ```py
queue = ["player"]

print(f"{len(queue)} player{'s' if len(queue) > 1 else ''} is currently in the queue")

queue = ["player", "player"]

print(f"{len(queue)} player{'s are' if len(queue) > 1 else ' is'} currently in the queue")

[unkempt canyon]

@cloud dawn :white_check_mark: Your 3.11 eval job has completed with return code 0.

001 | 1 player is currently in the queue
002 | 2 players are currently in the queue

[young dagger]

Second one?

?

[young dagger]

print(f"{len(queue)} player{'s are' if len(queue) > 1 else ' is'} currently in the queue")```

[silk fulcrum]

wow, the code looks different

it's more colourful now

[naive umbra]

for how long have your discord client been outdated lol

new codeblock colors came like a month or two ago

[silk fulcrum]

It's just that I never looked at it

I was really into competitive coding last like 4 months

so I didn't use codeblocks in discord

didnt need it

[keen dust]

but some bots have that feature on discord...so its not impossible

[cloud dawn]

Prob audit log

[keen dust]

how do I access that?

wait you mean

discords audit log?

[cloud dawn]

yep

[keen dust]

but how did they implement that in their bot?

[cloud dawn]

Wot

[keen dust]

its a feature which can be applied in bots

[cloud dawn]

Yes. If you code it.

[keen dust]

so...how do you get the name of the member who invited the bot to the server?

I got how to print the server name

its just the member now

[naive briar]

There's no such thing, not even audit logs

[keen dust]

heres an example for it

by invite tracker

[naive umbra]

afaik there is no possible way of making your client sub to an event that gives you invite tracking data, iirc bots like invite tracker uses an algorithm to figure out who invited who by storing the user who created the invite and then check if the invite use count went up at the same time a user joined, but it's really inaccurate for larger servers with frequent joins

[cloud dawn]

!d discord.Invite.inviter

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Invite.inviter

The user who created the invite.

[vale wing]

You need to compare invite usages before and after the join

That's how it works

[cloud dawn]

And I'm guessing they cache every single invite and have some kind of schedule queue to avoid any minor bugs.

[naive umbra]

how do they figure out which invite a user joined with though

say in a busy server like this one

with frequent joins, simultaneous joins are possible

[cloud dawn]

!d discord.Invite.uses

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Invite.uses

How many times the invite has been used.

[naive umbra]

that's still not a way to figure out which invite a user joined with

[cloud dawn]

The comparing the invite usages before and after the join is just to identify whom invited whom.

[naive umbra]

yeah, quite inaccurate

[cloud dawn]

Not if you cache every single invite and instead of running it true async have a async schedule que.

[keen dust]

or store it all in a database

[naive umbra]

the events dispatched will not be accurate, so it doesn't matter how you handle it

[keen dust]

but that would be really memory consuming

[cloud dawn]

Pretty sure the invite tracker bot isn't 100% accurate either.

[keen dust]

ic

[naive umbra]

fair enough

[cloud dawn]

I don't see the usage in it anyways.

p_message = message.lower() 'hello' = 'hello welcome whatsup'
``` Syntax is a bit off.

[naive umbra]

p_message = message.lower() 'hello' = 'hello welcome whatsup'
``` this is the problem, what are you trying to do?

no, what is that line supposed to do

still quite vague

that line alone, what are you trying to do with it

seems like you should remove the "hello" = "hello ..." part completely

[cloud dawn]

Have you coded a lot in Python before this? Or have any experience regarding Discord or chatbots?

Chatbots are made using models and by tokenizing certain strings inside a sentence.

Here's an example of how that would look like if you're processing it. json {"intents": [ { "tag": "greetings", "patterns": ["hello", "hey", "hi", "good day", "greetings", "what's up"], "responses": ["Hello!", "Hey!"] }] }

This was a real rough example.

You'd also need to have a trainer for the module and to execute it.

List is longer just copied it.

It's pretty tough to make especially in a bot.

I recommend making it separate first then combine it.

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

There are some good videos on youtube for chatbots. I recommend not watching videos that are 1 year or older.

Then learn how to make discord bots as well then later combine the 2 in 1 program.

I recommend having the google filter on < 1 year

This tutorial video makes me wanna make my own and then do it properly.

    except:
        await interaction.followup.send(f"Error, please try minutes, hours, or days. For example, `10h`.")

Idk why there is unknown interaction error for the line of defer above. There's nothing that is blocking the code that I can tell... There was nothing running other than this part, it is a slash command I implemented and that was the only command that was used at that moment.

ping if here, thx

[naive umbra]

you're not making any response?

[shut elk]

uh basically defer is a type of response, so in the line await interaction.**response**.defer(), it responds to the interaction. Then, the other followups are basically needed for after a deferred msg is done

[young dagger]

How can I use the images from local directory? This isn't working.

                        thumbnail_url = f'/images/ranked-emblem/{lowered_rank}.png'
                        embed.set_thumbnail(url=thumbnail_url)```

I want to use images from /images/ranked-emblem/

[naive umbra]

afaik defer expects a response to finish the interaction, after a proper response you send a followup webhook

[shut elk]

yeah

[naive umbra]

yeah, and you're not doing that

[shut elk]

what

so what am i supposed to do

if i do response send msg as a proper response, im pretty sure it will not work

[naive umbra]

replace followup.send with response.send_message?

[naive umbra]

have you tried?

[shut elk]

are u sure it works with defer?

interaction can only be responded once and yes

[naive umbra]

yes? defer wants a response?

it should be

trying wont hurt

worst case, we can just dig into it further down and find another solution, but try that first

[shut elk]

i have tried yes

[naive umbra]

and what error did you get

[shut elk]

as i said, defer responds to the interaction and yes, its preparing for another response but since it already is responded, the only thing that you can use is followup

this is afaik, I've tried this when I started discord bot stuff and it didnt work

[shut elk]

do u get it now?

like what i mean by it has to be followup

[naive umbra]

yeah, in that case i must've confused it, apologies

[shut elk]

alr, unknown interaction can be caused by blocking i heard so idk what is causing this problem if theres nothing blocking its so weird

[naive umbra]

i see, can you post the full traceback using the followups instead?

[shut elk]

uh

alr 1 sec

[young dagger]

How can I use the images from local directory? This isn't working.

                        thumbnail_url = f'/images/ranked-emblem/{lowered_rank}.png'
                        embed.set_thumbnail(url=thumbnail_url)```

[shut elk]

i cant get it again

it was caused when someone else used it, im not exactly sure what happened

nvm then, if i get it again ill come here and show the traceback

!local-file

[unkempt canyon]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[young dagger]

@slate swan But it should only set thumbnail if not Unranked. Do you know how to fix this?

    # Add rank emblem to the Embed
    rank, *_ = tier_and_rank.partition(" ")
    lowered_rank = rank.lower()
    if lowered_rank and lowered_rank != 'unranked':
        thumbnail_url = f'https://raw.communitydragon.org/latest/plugins/rcp-fe-lol-shared-components/global/default/{lowered_rank}.png'
        embed.set_thumbnail(url=thumbnail_url)

    # Send the Embed object to the user
    await ctx.channel.send(embed=embed)```

As with this code it will not add thumbnail if Unranked.

[slate swan]

How do you guys host your bots?

Using uptimerobot or some other websites. Or something completely different like webservers.

What if I don't use repl for bot creation then how should I host it so that it becomes available 24*7

[upbeat otter]

this might help you #discord-bots message

[upbeat otter]

Change

if lowered_rank and lowered_rank != 'unranked':

to

if lowered_rank != 'unranked':

idk why do you have that, that's not making any sense either

[young dagger]

Do you know how can I fix the file=file, so that it doesn't trigger it when Unranked?

                    if lowered_rank and lowered_rank != 'unranked':
                        file = discord.File(f'/root/images/ranked-emblem/{lowered_rank}.png',
                                            filename="ranked_emblem.png")
                        embed.set_thumbnail(url="attachment://ranked_emblem")
                    await ctx.channel.send(file=file, embed=embed)```

[upbeat otter]

you're passing the wrong argument types for discord.file

you have to provide a bytes-like object (use open or preferably aiofiles.open)

!d discord.File

[unkempt canyon]

discord.File

class discord.File(fp, filename=None, *, spoiler=..., description=None)```
A parameter object used for [`abc.Messageable.send()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.abc.Messageable.send "discord.abc.Messageable.send") for sending file objects.

Note

File objects are single use and are not meant to be reused in multiple [`abc.Messageable.send()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.abc.Messageable.send "discord.abc.Messageable.send")s.

[young dagger]

@upbeat otter I'm using this

!local-file

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

# When you know the file exact path, you can pass it.

[vestal snow]

guys when i run my discord bot it says logging using static token and gives a long list of errorsw then a runtime error

[upbeat otter]

doesn't help
what is the error?

[young dagger]

Could I use this?

await ctx.channel.send(file=file if lowered_rank != 'unranked' else None, embed=embed)```

[upbeat otter]

totally valid, yes

[upbeat otter]

Your code is trying to use intents which haven't been enabled in your app on the discord dev portal

• go to discord developers (https://discord.dev)
• Go to Applications and open the required app
• Go to the Bot Section and scroll down
• Enable the intents your bot requires and hit Save
• Try to run your code again

[slate swan]

@upbeat otter what do you think about this : https://dash.daki.cc

It's a free hosting service

Like heroku

[upbeat otter]

heroku isn't free anymore

and free hosting services aren't really that much reliable nor are they good in their own ways

[upbeat otter]

I can't even access the website without creating an account wtf 💀

[slate swan]

Oh

This vedio talks about it : https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=kIvfYWP-nTk

[naive umbra]

i mean, instead of using these bs "free" solutions, just pay for a proper vps

i pay $0.97 per month for mine and i host like 7-8 apps on it, five nines uptime and it's running ubuntu, you have so much more options and flexibility with a vps than that

@sick birch How are you supposed to use tasks? it seems like it's blocking my code for some reason

[sick birch]

What is your task doing?

[slate swan]

sending an embed

[sick birch]

And how are you telling it's blocking?

[slate swan]

another on_message function is supposed to delete messages from a certain channel but it stops randomly

I'm using .listen() for the function to delete messages and an on_ready event to start the task

What do you think about uptimerobot and replit. I will get a webserver once my bot is ready.

[sick birch]

When you start the task after on_ready but also wait for on_ready inside your task, it deadlocks IIRC

can someone explain how i can use buttons with bot.wait_for ?

[winged coral]

wait for an interaction

check it's the one you want

[sick birch]

!d discord.Client.wait_for

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Client.wait\_for

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

Waits for a WebSocket event to be dispatched.

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

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

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

This function returns the **first event that meets the requirements**...

    # When pressed, this increments the number displayed until it hits 5.
    # When it hits 5, the counter button is disabled and it turns green.

@bot.command()
async def counter(ctx: commands.Context):

its everytime says it when i try press a button

[slate swan]

did you import discord.ui?

[pseudo saffron]

yes

@slate swan

[slate swan]

idk, it seems to work fine

[pseudo saffron]

do i need to have the active developer badge to use buttons ?

[slate swan]

no

[slate swan]

your previous code is interfering

[pseudo saffron]

what u mean

even if i dont load my cogs it dont work

[slate swan]

im not skilled enough, but somewhere before the button your previous code is doing something that doesnt let your button run

if you make a different file and run it there with just the button it will work

[pseudo saffron]

i will try

so you mean in a cog ?

[slate swan]

i mean that your button would work if your previous code wasnt there

because your previous code is interfering

[pseudo saffron]

but how is it interfering i mean i dont use any vars in it that could or running tasks

[slate swan]

idk, somehow it is

[pseudo saffron]

1 sec i will try just run the code without any other code

[slate swan]

thats what i meant

it will work like that

[chilly dove]

you should be loading your cogs in async_hook

[pseudo saffron]

whats async_hook ?

[chilly dove]

or setup_hook i mean

[clear elm]

it says interaction failed when i click on one of the dropdowns but i got no errors
im trying to edit the embed depending on which option they choose
this is my code https://paste.pythondiscord.com/uvubocusog

[chilly dove]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/api.html?highlight=hook#discord.ext.commands.Bot.setup_hook

subclass your bot and override setup_hook thats where you should load cogs

[pseudo saffron]

yo @slate swan it dont even work without any other codes

just with the bot commands

[chilly dove]

can you post the updated code as it is now?

[pseudo saffron]

i just made a clean bot file without any commands

to test if my code is messy
