Link what?

[minor totem]

Right, so when it is loaded that will be parsed as a guild ID and guild is now an int. You should put [1042533707464060979] in the JSON file instead

[minor totem]

The repository to the code 🙂

[tribal shell]

I don't have one yet.

Let me set one up.

[minor totem]

Where did you download this code? If you're just following a tutorial, can you link the tutorial?

[tribal shell]

No download, no tutorial. It was just made a long while ago.

[slate swan]

now it didnt have error but bot didnt send kurac in chat

[tribal shell]

https://github.com/theodoreromero/HeXit

[minor totem]

Do you have a date of when it was written (I just want to know if it was years, or months ago)? We could fix this by downgrading the version of discord.py you use, if you just want it working.

I'm afraid that I don't really want to help you with migrating a whole project, so it may be best you do so at a later point when you have this working again and get a bit better at coding. Up to you though, as I'm sure there might be others who have a bit more experience from migrating several of their own bots

[minor totem]

Can you print guild and make sure it is the same ID as the one in the JSON file?

[tribal shell]

About 7 years ago. Haha

[left dew]

i dont seem to have a random.py file

[smoky sinew]

😐

[tribal shell]

I think Python 2.7

[smoky sinew]

that's not a very helpful response for a staff member

[smoky sinew]

it's at least python 3.5 because it has async def syntax which didn't exist before that

[tribal shell]

Oh okay.

[tribal shell]

How do I downgrade my Python on VSC?

[smoky sinew]

it's definitely fixable, but you do have a lot of catching up to do

[smoky sinew]

you shouldn't, stick to python 3.10

i'm not sure what versions of python discord.py supports today

[tribal shell]

Bluenix said I should.

[smoky sinew]

not to a 7 year old python version

you'll need at least 3.8 for discord.py

[minor totem]

That would explain the @asyncio.coroutine from Python 3.4, and at that point presumably using either the async discord.py a la 0.16 or even earlier 🫣. These versions of discord.py no longer work with the current Discord API I'm afraid.

I assumed this was a year back and we could downgrade to say version 1.0, since 2.0 was recently released. I would probably recommend you rewrite it since otherwise you would need to migrate it 3 - 4 times, but looking at the repository it is not a lot of code so that may not be a lot of work

[tribal shell]

Mind helping me?

[smoky sinew]

why are you so insistent on rewriting it? you can just migrate the code

[minor totem]

Oh? I am sorry, I don't see what you mean. Can you DM me? It was not my intention to be rude or unhelpful

[smoky sinew]

@tribal shell

read both of these:
https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/migrating_to_v1.html#migrating-1-0
https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/migrating.html

use python 3.10 and the latest version of discord.py, if you get any issues i can definitely help migrate it

[minor totem]

Because the code is 7 years old and needs to catch up on 7 versions of Python, and 3 - 4 major rewrite migrations of discord.py

[smoky sinew]

it's not that outdated, neither is the python syntax really

[minor totem]

What I mean by rewriting in this case, is starting from a quickstart base from the current discord.py version and writing in the actual functionality of the bot while looking at the old code.

This, as opposed to going through each and every point of several migration guides, and then running the code until you no longer get an error - which to me, sounds like more work

[smoky sinew]

the code barely interacts with the discord api really, other than reading and parsing latex from messages

other than logging in with email and password, manually parsing commands and not using stateful models

[minor totem]

Yes looking at the code it was a surprisingly small amount of discord.py usage. I think what we both have in mind for migrating this involves somewhat the same thing. Personally I would just start from a recent discord.py quickstart example and copy in the methods then replace the main.py file with that

[smoky sinew]

the quickstart example isn't great since it uses message parsing

[minor totem]

That's why it fits so nicely with this, because it also uses the message event!

[smoky sinew]

yeah, good luck with applying to get the message intent lol

[hushed galleon]

you assume they need to apply at all

[young pendant]

Hey guys
I have wrote a discord bot
What does the bot do?
Category roles

What is my issue?
With the command /change_team_role I can set the team role ( role X )
With the command add_role I can set roles, that will be in the team roles ( roles Y )

If a member has the role Y1 the member will automatically get the role X from the bot

If I give a member the roles Y1 and Y2 the bot gives the user also the role X how it is supposed to

But when I remove one of the Y roles, the bot removes the role X and then assigns it back after realising that the member still has a Y role

Can you help me fix that? https://paste.pythondiscord.com/zuwucukego

[minor totem]

Okay so your suggestion is that this person rewrites their bot to use slash commands?

[tribal shell]

@minor totem can you check DMs?

[smoky sinew]

you tell me, you're the one insistent on them using the quick start example ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[minor totem]

Yes I've seen it, I am about to send my message 👍

[smoky sinew]

why would you want to parse messages to get the command

it gets complicated quickly, which is solved with the commands extension but even that is not great because you can easily port it over to slash commands with a few extra lines of code

[clear elm]

how do i make it so if i use a select menu, i can use it again infinitely and so anyone can use it infinitely too

[smoky sinew]

set the timeout to None

[clear elm]

there is no timeout, do i stil need to set it to none?

[smoky sinew]

there is a timeout by default

[clear elm]

oh

[smoky sinew]

class MyView(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__(timeout=None)

[hushed galleon]

im not saying if its better to do a simple 1-1 rewrite or learn the new practices for discord bots, just that message content as an argument conditionally applies if their bot is popular

[hushed galleon]

you want to make the view persistent, which requires said timeout=None but also custom ids for your components and calling add_view() when your bot starts up

theres an example of persistent views in the repository:
https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/examples/views/persistent.py

[smoky sinew]

i think it's always better to code things that are extensible and scalable in the future, if at any point a lot of people decide to invite it to their server the bot will suddenly break

[clear elm]

whats the default amount?

[smoky sinew]

180 seconds

but you should do what thegamecracks said as well

assuming your bot restarts, the view will break eventually

(which is a weird design flaw of discord.py)

[young pendant]

can someone help me?

[vital glacier]

Anyone that can help me?
I'm trying to make it so that if a guild doesn't have a vanity it'll say Vanity: N/A instead of None, and if they have a vanity I want it to have the vanity name and then make it a hyperlink (like I have in the first embed)

[vital glacier]

This is the code for this: https://paste.pythondiscord.com/ridamagenu

But it keeps defaulting to None instead of N/A

[hushed galleon]

depends, at some point the scope is small enough that the author will find it more cost-effective to do a barebones design without the worry of technical debt

[slate swan]

yep i fixed it but i have another question can u come dm please? if u have time

[hushed galleon]

i would consider this flexibility - persisting a view requires storing it somewhere, whether by hardcoding it or putting into a database, and d.py makes it your choice how you want to restore the views into memory

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/ilelafigug @hushed galleon is this right?

[hushed galleon]

why are the classes named like that? you probably meant to call add_view() inside the init method of your Bot class

[young pendant]

Hey guys
I wrote a bot
when I assign the role twitch mod to a user, the bot will assign the role team to the user automatically
when I assign the role discord mod to a user, the bot will assign the role team to the user automatically
when a user has both roles, and I remove the role Twitch mod from the user the bot removes the role Team and assigns it again after realising that the user still has the role Discord mod
when a user has both roles, and I remove the role Discord mod from the user the bot removes the role Team and assigns it again after realising that the user still has the role twitch mod

What do you think is the issue here?
code: https://paste.pythondiscord.com/zuwucukego

[hushed galleon]

you're always assigning invite to a string so that specific variable can never be None - you would probably want to write it like this instead, comparing the actual vanity url before you format it into a string: py invite = "N/A" if guild.vanity_url is not None: ...

thank anyway 👍

[graceful ermine]

hey what am I doing wrong? I'm trying to make a permission handler

[smoky sinew]

why? wouldn't the discord gateway dispatch that a button on the view has been clicked and then discord.py will call the view that holds that button?

[smoky sinew]

why are you using globals anyway

[graceful ermine]

I think they are better

[clear elm]

^

[smoky sinew]

!globals

[unkempt canyon]

When adding functions or classes to a program, it can be tempting to reference inaccessible variables by declaring them as global. Doing this can result in code that is harder to read, debug and test. Instead of using globals, pass variables or objects as parameters and receive return values.

Instead of writing

def update_score():
    global score, roll
    score = score + roll
update_score()

do this instead

def update_score(score, roll):
    return score + roll
score = update_score(score, roll)

For in-depth explanations on why global variables are bad news in a variety of situations, see this Stack Overflow answer.

[smoky sinew]

that's an argument of select, but you're using it in a view

also, it's pointless to do min_values = 1

[graceful ermine]

plus that I am using it for a different event too

[smoky sinew]

see what it said though

[graceful ermine]

so how could I fix my permissions

??

[clear elm]

so what do i need to do?

[clear elm]

ok

[slate swan]

Please help about json?

[hushed galleon]

only if the said view was added, but it wouldnt be feasible for dpy to implicitly add every view subclass to the client

[graceful ermine]

my permission handler does not work for some reason what am I doing wrong?

[young pendant]

Hey, can you help me real quick?^^

[smoky sinew]

use the select decorator

there are docs for select menus, you can look at them but i can't link it right now

[graceful ermine]

^^^^

[smoky sinew]

you don't need to repost your question 3 minutes after you know

what do you mean by "does not work"

can you help me with that

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html?highlight=select#discord.ui.select

[clear elm]

thanks

[smoky sinew]

there are good examples on the docs

check that before asking

[hushed galleon]

im struggling to understand your code, but in check_roles() it appears you are incorrectly checking if an integer is in a list of Role objects

[young pendant]

So, I can tell you what the code does

if you have discord mod, twitch mod and the role team

When a user is given twitch mod, he gets team role

When a user is given discord mod, he gets team role

[clear elm]

what do i need to do to make it function properly?

[smoky sinew]

did you look at the code example

in the docs

[hushed galleon]

that doesnt really make it easier to understand, but have you looked into the issue i pointed out?

[clear elm]

this?

class View(discord.ui.View):

    @discord.ui.select(cls=ChannelSelect, channel_types=[discord.ChannelType.text])
    async def select_channels(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, select: ChannelSelect):
        return await interaction.response.send_message(f'You selected {select.values[0].mention}')

[young pendant]

yes, the issue is in on member update but I cant find it

        if before.roles != after.roles:
            if after.guild.id in self.team_roles.keys():

                await self.check_roles(after)

                for role in before.roles:
                    team_role = discord.utils.get(before.guild.roles, id=self.team_roles[before.guild.id])
                    if role.id in self.roles_of_team[before.guild.id] \
                            and role not in after.roles \
                            and team_role in after.roles:
                        # if user has a role that belongs to team and role got removed and user has teamrole after
                        # changes
                        await after.remove_roles(team_role)```

[hushed galleon]

oh i see now, the role that got removed triggers it to also remove the team role which triggers on_member_update a second time, then check_roles() notices the other team role and adds it back

[young pendant]

yep

[smoky sinew]

yes

[clear elm]

what about it

[young pendant]

and I want it to be the way, that on member update checks if the member has more than just one role

[smoky sinew]

i mean that's how you create a select menu

[clear elm]

do i have to do it like that or can i keep it the way i have?

[hushed galleon]

id rewrite your on_member_update to check if they have any of the associated roles, if no then you'd remove it

[young pendant]

[hushed galleon]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/migrating.html#change-in-guild-bans-endpoint
await guild.bans() is outdated since the discord api changed how ban fetching works, now discord.py gives you an async generator which happens to be compatible with as_chunks(), e.g. py async for bans in discord.utils.as_chunks(guild.bans(), 10): # bans being a list of Ban objects

the issue is, that I've been trying to figure out what the issue is since 2 hours or more, can you help me with that?

I'm new to all the discord.py stuff

[hushed galleon]

right now your code removes the team role as soon as it sees that an assigned role was removed, but what you actually want your code to do is remove the team role if they no longer have any assigned roles

if they don't have the team role:
    do nothing

for each of the member's roles:
    if role is assigned to their team:
        do nothing

if we're here, we know the team role is un-needed
therefore, remove the team role```

why it didnt read servers: in json

[smoky sinew]

did you not see the example

placeholder is an attribute of select, not view

[hushed galleon]

there are two ways to write a view with a select menu:

class MySelect(discord.ui.Select):
def init(self):
super().init(placeholder=..., options=...)

async def callback(self, interaction):
    print("Hello world!")

class MyView(discord.ui.View):
def init(self):
super().init()
self.add_item(MySelect())or 2.py
class MyView(discord.ui.View):
@discord.ui.select(placeholder=..., options=...)
async def my_select(self, interaction, select):
print("Hello world!")``` see how they're different? mudkip is telling you to use the second approach, but your code is currently a mishmash of 1 and 2 - you can't declare a subclass of view but then invoke __init__(placeholder=...) in that view subclass because thats only a thing for Select subclasses

[smoky sinew]

i didn't realize that

[clear elm]

what would i put in options? currently this is in my code for options:

        options = [
            discord.SelectOption(label='General Support', value="1", description='Opens a general support ticket.', emoji=':support:'),
            discord.SelectOption(label='Bug Reports', value="2", description='Opens a bug report ticket.', emoji=':bug:'),
            discord.SelectOption(label='Reports', value="3", description='Opens a report ticket.', emoji=':report:')
        ]```

[hushed galleon]

just write the exact same list

[clear elm]

ohh ok

would it be like this?

        super().__init__(placeholder='Open a ticket!', options = [          
            discord.SelectOption(label='General Support', value="1", description='Opens a general support ticket.', emoji=':support:'),
            discord.SelectOption(label='Bug Reports', value="2", description='Opens a bug report ticket.', emoji=':bug:'),
            discord.SelectOption(label='Reports', value="3", description='Opens a report ticket.', emoji=':report:'),
        ], max_values=1, timeout=None)```

look at what thegamecracks said

use method #2 to write your view

also you shouldn't use replit to run your bot

[clear elm]

is the custom id like the value?

[hushed galleon]

its just a unique id for a message component, its sent to discord and when someone uses the button/select menu, that same custom id is sent to discord.py so it knows which component was used

[clear elm]

options= [

[slate swan]

Hey I needed some help, does anyone know how I can get the content from an embed with the message id?

[hushed field]

how could i take an image as an argument and then turn that File object into an image

[hushed field]

get_message/fetch_message depending on if in cache

[golden portal]

typehint your argument as discord.Attachment

[slate swan]

well no it's an embed

that would work for a message

[hushed field]

yes from Message get .embeds

index list and get content

[hushed field]

done, will it be an Image now?

or would i have to use bytes

[golden portal]

it will be in discord.Attachment

!d discord.Attachment, just see the methods, it has .save, .read and .to_file whichever suits your needs

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Attachment

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

str(x) Returns the URL of the attachment.

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

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

hash(x) Returns the hash of the attachment.

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

[clear elm]

@hushed galleon

[smoky sinew]

what's the difference between File and Attachment?

i know Asset represents an asset from the CDN

[smoky sinew]

?

[clear elm]

is that right?

class MyView(discord.ui.View):
    @discord.ui.select(placeholder="Open a ticket below!", options= [
                       
                discord.SelectOption(label='General Support', value="1", description='Opens a general support ticket.', emoji=':support:'),
                discord.SelectOption(label='Bug Reports', value="2", description='Opens a bug report ticket.', emoji=':bug:'),

    async def my_select(self, interaction, select):
        print("Hello world!")```

[golden portal]

File is user created, Attachment is given by discord, similar to discord.ui.Button and discord.Button

it doesn't send the select menu @hushed galleon

[hushed galleon]

you have two classes defined, PersistentView and MyView, and only MyView has the select menu, but in your command you're using PersistentView() which is the class that has nothing inside it

[smoky sinew]

what's the point in making the distinction

[smoky sinew]

you don't set a timeout for select menus, timeouts are for views

you need to set the timeout in the __init__ method of PersistentView

[clear elm]

ohh

[golden portal]

its standard to have a difference between library generated, and user generated data models, plus, usually user generated has a few more options

[clear elm]

how come if the bot restarts, the select menu doesnt continue to work?

[smoky sinew]

did you add the view using Bot.add_view?

do that in setup_hook

[smoky sinew]

i think the error might be in the cog itself

it says interaction view when the bot is restarted @smoky sinew

[smoky sinew]

not Bot.add_view, Bot would be the bot object

use self

[clear elm]

^

[burnt imp]

Is there a way to see where your bot is sending a message say if it's in dms who the recipient is?

[smoky sinew]

i can't predict what your variable name is sorry

[clear elm]

i had self before anyways and it didnt work

ill try again

yeah, even if it's self

it still says interaction failed

[burnt imp]

This happens to me as well, I figured it's just because when the bot stops it has no way of knowing what was sent before unless you save it some how.

[smoky sinew]

where are you setting timeout=None @clear elm ?

[clear elm]

class PersistentViewBot(commands.Bot):
    def __init__(self, timeout=None):
        intents = discord.Intents.default()
        intents.message_content = True

        super().__init__(command_prefix=commands.when_mentioned_or('c!'), intents=intents)```

[hushed galleon]

they're ultimately different in the discord API - attachment objects are given by discord and have various attributes like url, size, etc., but when uploading a file they only ask you to provide the filename and data in a multipart request

[smoky sinew]

that makes sense

[smoky sinew]

no, you need to set timeout=None in PersistentView, not PersistentViewBot, also that would be the arguments that the bot takes in

[smoky sinew]

anyone know why this happens?

[clear elm]

class PersistentView(discord.ui.View):
    @discord.ui.select(placeholder="Open a ticket below!", max_values=1, options= [

    async def my_select(self, interaction, select, timeout=None):
      print("Hello world!")```

is that right?

[smoky sinew]

no, timeout is an argument of view not select

class PersistentView(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__(timeout=None)
    ...

[hushed galleon]

you used load_extension() which expects a string representing a module to be imported by discord.py, but you gave it a Cog object instead

[smoky sinew]

that's not possible

the error still happens when i just pass in "archive"

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/ciyovidime

this is the cog code

[clear elm]

class PersistentView(discord.ui.View):

this is the error when i press one of the options

AttributeError: 'PersistentView' object has no attribute 'values'```

[smoky sinew]

you would do select.values not self.values

views and select menus are separate, all the items are grouped in a view though

[quick gust]

what are the disadvantages of having a seperate file (and therefore a seperate cog) for each command?

[smoky sinew]

the question you should be asking is "what are the advantages?"

and it depends on what kind of commands you are making

[quick gust]

Yep I know that it is bad because well it just seems wrong but i dont know what are the disadvantages

[quick gust]

Just normal commands

[smoky sinew]

like what?

also files, extensions, and cogs are all separate from each other

you can have multiple cogs in one file

and a file without any extensions

[quick gust]

reminders, moderations, economy commands

[quick gust]

Yep I'm aware

[smoky sinew]

it would be good to group them into those then, i would only make a separate extension if the command serves a very specific purpose and fits into a very specific category that none of the other commands fit in

[quick gust]

I see

could you tell me the disadvantages though? It's not my bot and I'll need to give valid points to convince the owner

[smoky sinew]

oh i get it

well, it's extra work to write and maintain, harder to read, also harder to parse such as in your help command which by default lists all cogs separately

[quick gust]

Right thanks!

[clear elm]

ohh

[pliant gulch]

50 commands = 50 different files (granted you said and therefor a separate cog for each command)

[smoky sinew]

?

what about it

[clear elm]

its responding to the interaction only if they have an open ticket by saying "You already have an open ticket!" but nothing else and if they dont it sends "Opened a reports ticket for you!" so how is that responding to the interaction twice if it only responds to one of them

[smoky sinew]

await interaction.response.send_message(f'Your ticket has been created. {channel.mention}', ephemeral=True)

also you're not returning if they already have an open ticket, so the code will just continue and create it anyways

[clear elm]

      if channel:
          await interaction.response.send_message(f'You already have an open ticket! {channel.mention}', ephemeral=True)
      else:
            overwrites = {
                guild.default_role: discord.PermissionOverwrite(view_channel=False),
                interaction.user: discord.PermissionOverwrite(view_channel=True, send_messages=True, read_messages=True),
                guild.get_role(1078464006433542154): discord.PermissionOverwrite(view_channel=True, send_messages=True, read_messages=True)
            } 
        
            channel = await guild.create_text_channel(name=f'ticket-{interaction.user.name}', topic=str(interaction.user.id), category=category, overwrites=overwrites)```

[smoky sinew]

?

this is the code that will run if the channel already exists

[clear elm]

yes and then if it doesnt ```py
else:
overwrites = {
guild.default_role: discord.PermissionOverwrite(view_channel=False),
interaction.user: discord.PermissionOverwrite(view_channel=True, send_messages=True, read_messages=True),
guild.get_role(1078464006433542154): discord.PermissionOverwrite(view_channel=True, send_messages=True, read_messages=True)
}

        channel = await guild.create_text_channel(name=f'ticket-{interaction.user.name}', topic=str(interaction.user.id), category=category, overwrites=overwrites)``` should run, right?

[smoky sinew]

yes, but the bottom code runs either way

[hushed galleon]

in general, isolating things into cogs+extensions makes it more difficult to reuse code defined in them since:

1. it becomes bad practice to import your extension as it bypasses d.py's hot-reloading mechanism entirely, meaning the only viable option would be accessing whatever things are added to your bot by the setup() function, usually your cog
2. if you are adding a cog to the bot, you would need to maintain a public interface (aka defining methods and attributes) to be used by other cogs
3. if you have custom objects defined by your extension, you wouldn't want to keep strong references to those objects outside your extension because:
   a. if you reloaded your extension afterwards, you'd run into memory leakage or obscure bugs related to multiple versions of the same extension being loaded at the same time
   b. if you avoid reloading the extension, you'd defeat the purpose of hot-reloading and might as well write a regular module

[smoky sinew]

discord.py has hot reloading?

[hushed galleon]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.reload_extension

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.reload\_extension

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

Atomically reloads an extension.

This replaces the extension with the same extension, only refreshed. This is equivalent to a [`unload_extension()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.unload_extension "discord.ext.commands.Bot.unload_extension") followed by a [`load_extension()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.load_extension "discord.ext.commands.Bot.load_extension") except done in an atomic way. That is, if an operation fails mid-reload then the bot will roll-back to the prior working state.

[smoky sinew]

oh that

[hushed galleon]

though if you literally meant one command per cog, that's just extremely verbose

(but from the few discord.js bots ive seen, i think it might be common practice there to separate individual commands by file)

[clear elm]

@smoky sinew btw the selectmenu doesnt work if the bot is restarted

[dull terrace]

anyone else up for giving some feedback on a game bot, still need some brutal feedback or some ideas on how to make it better

it doesnt look like you provided any custom_id, you should be seeing an error from setup_hook

[clear elm]

whats the custom_id for?

[hushed galleon]

i think the automatic translation is only available for certain attributes/arguments, most of them in app_commands but some supported in ext.commands, but given that you have a Translator subclass, you could still manually localize strings using it

[hushed galleon]

^

[smoky sinew]

there's a translator subclass?

i meant if i can translate whole messages using the automatic translation

[clear elm]

isnt it the exact same as values?

[smoky sinew]

currently, i have a simple translate helper function that takes in a messageable and a translation key

and it gets the language for the messageable and translates it based off that

[hushed galleon]

conceptually kind of, but values are associated with select options while custom ids are part of the button/select itself

[clear elm]

so how would i incorporate the custom_id?

[hushed galleon]

if by messages you mean the content you're sending, nope

[smoky sinew]

should i even bother at all with the auto localization then

seems like a pain in the ass to use both systems

how do you set it in discord.py anyway?

[hushed galleon]

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

the custom_id can be whatever you string you want ||up to 100 characters||

[clear elm]

ok

i added one

is there anything that i need to do now?

[hushed galleon]

!d discord.app_commands.CommandTree.set_translator

[unkempt canyon]

discord.app\_commands.CommandTree.set\_translator

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

If a translator was previously set, it will be unloaded using its [`Translator.unload()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.Translator.unload "discord.app_commands.Translator.unload") method.

When a translator is set, it will be loaded using its [`Translator.load()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.Translator.load "discord.app_commands.Translator.load") method.

[hushed galleon]

send your view again so it has the new custom id, and then restart your bot and test it

[clear elm]

send the code?

[hushed galleon]

i meant like use your command so it sends a new message with the updated view

[clear elm]

ohh

didnt work

[hushed galleon]

of the few examples ive seen there's always some inconvenience with it, typically being that you're always calling the localization function in your code

[hushed galleon]

any error message in your terminal? what did you change about the decorator?

[clear elm]

no errors, i only added a custom id

[smoky sinew]

inconvenience with what

[hushed galleon]

restarted your code, used your command to get the new view, and restarted again right? can you put a print statement in your setup_hook to make sure it shows up?

mhm

let me be sure, is the custom_id in the right spot?

class PersistentView(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__(timeout=None)
    @discord.ui.select(placeholder="Open a ticket below!", max_values=1, custom_id='persistent_view:tickets', options= [
                       
                discord.SelectOption(label='General Support', value="1", description='Opens a general support ticket.', emoji=':support:'),
                discord.SelectOption(label='Bug Reports', value="2", description='Opens a bug report ticket.', emoji=':bug:'),
                discord.SelectOption(label='Reports', value="3", description='Opens a report ticket.', emoji=':report:')
                                                                    ])
    async def my_select(self, interaction, select):
      print("Hello world!")```

[restive mirage]

This is allowed?

[hushed galleon]

what i described, explicitly calling a function whenever you want to localize something like _("this is a translatable string")

[restive mirage]

( https://discord.com/channels/267624335836053506/1079252682512011334 )

[smoky sinew]

is that the gettext method of localization?

i just use something like commands.sync.success

though it is pretty verbose

[hushed galleon]

yeah that was an example of a different localization library

[smoky sinew]

await ctx.send(translate("example.key", ctx))

i currently use something like this

[hushed galleon]

if anything thats less verbose because you have a clear identifier for your string

[clear elm]

@hushed galleon

[hushed galleon]

seems to be

[smoky sinew]

why would you need that

[clear elm]

do you want all of my code?

[hushed galleon]

did you try adding the print statement inside setup_hook to see if it actually prints?

[clear elm]

i did, it didnt print

when is it supposed to print

[restive mirage]

[hushed galleon]

there seems to be conflicting information on whether bots are allowed to edit the vanity url, but discord developers suggests it was never a public API to begin with so this probably wouldnt be allowed, not to mention it could be heavily ratelimited to prevent abuse

well that explains it, you defined your PersistentViewBot but never actually used it

[smoky sinew]

using intents.members = True on Intents.all??

also, assuming you own the bot why not just use @commands.is_owner() on the sync command?

[clear elm]

yeah, can i not do that or smth?

[hushed galleon]

you see this line? py bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix = '>', intents=intents) you're using an instance of commands.Bot
now look below: py class PersistentViewBot(commands.Bot): ... this means you defined a subclass of commands.Bot, but above you're still using a regular commands.Bot to connect to discord

[smoky sinew]

why would you

what's the point of removing a command named "h" when you don't have one

strange

[clear elm]

someone told me that h is also help 💀

[clear elm]

what do i need to do to fix it?

[smoky sinew]

replace commands.Bot with PersistentViewBot

and change your super().__init__(...) to use the arguments you were using before with commands.Bot

[clear elm]

class PersistentViewBot(PersistentViewBot):?

[smoky sinew]

no

[clear elm]

oh

[smoky sinew]

class PersistentViewBot(commands.Bot):

and then use bot = PersistentViewBot()

[clear elm]

ok

[clear elm]

wdym

[smoky sinew]

you are using this right now:

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix = '>', intents=intents)

but in your PersistentViewBot class, you are using this:

super().__init__(command_prefix=commands.when_mentioned_or('c!'), intents=intents)

do you see the problem

also inside PersistentViewBot you are only using the message content intent, while outside that you are using all intents

[clear elm]

what do i need to do then?

super().__init__(command_prefix = '>', intents=intents)```

?

[smoky sinew]

sure

and replace bot = commands.Bot(...) with bot = PersistentViewBot()

[clear elm]

ok

is that it?

[smoky sinew]

i guess

[clear elm]

ok i think it works

let me test

now my close command doesnt work

  File "/home/runner/corpotics/venv/lib/python3.10/site-packages/discord/app_commands/tree.py", line 1091, in wrapper
    await self._call(interaction)
  File "/home/runner/corpotics/venv/lib/python3.10/site-packages/discord/app_commands/tree.py", line 1221, in _call
    command, options = self._get_app_command_options(data)
  File "/home/runner/corpotics/venv/lib/python3.10/site-packages/discord/app_commands/tree.py", line 1127, in _get_app_command_options
    raise CommandNotFound(name, parents)
discord.app_commands.errors.CommandNotFound: Application command 'close' not found

it says that its not found but there is a command called close

only the tickets comamnd works

[smoky sinew]

show your code

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/dakajifina

[smoky sinew]

you're not even using PersistentViewBot

you have to replace it on line 11

you are basically creating two bot instances, and the second one is overwriting everything

[clear elm]

  File "main.py", line 11, in <module>
    bot = PersistentViewBot()
NameError: name 'PersistentViewBot' is not defined

[smoky sinew]

you have to put your bot class before you use it

python reads everything in the order you put it

[clear elm]

but then bot wouldn't be defined

[smoky sinew]

it would be,

class MyClass:
    pass

my_class = MyClass()

[clear elm]

wait where do i put the calss

[smoky sinew]

before you use it

[clear elm]

do i put it below or above tis

[smoky sinew]

i mean that's using it

so above

[clear elm]

  File "main.py", line 117, in <module>
    @bot.tree.command(name="tickets", description="Provides you with the tickets menu.")
NameError: name 'bot' is not defined```

[smoky sinew]

put it before that too

[slate swan]

have you copied code?

[smoky sinew]

that's why i said "before you use it"

[slate swan]

dont remove the bot

[clear elm]

i didnt

[clear elm]

wdym use it

[smoky sinew]

whenever you type in bot, you are using it

[slate swan]

like ur using
print(x)
before defining what is x

[smoky sinew]

!e ```py
x = 5
print(x)

print("\nversus\n")

print(y)
y = 5

[unkempt canyon]

@smoky sinew :x: Your 3.11 eval job has completed with return code 1.

001 | 5
002 | 
003 | versus
004 | 
005 | Traceback (most recent call last):
006 |   File "<string>", line 6, in <module>
007 | NameError: name 'y' is not defined

[smoky sinew]

@clear elm

[slate swan]

[clear elm]

but they said to put the class above the bot

[slate swan]

yes

[smoky sinew]

yes

"the bot" is creating an instance of the PersistentViewBot class

[clear elm]

yeah but its saying bot isnt defined even though this is here:

class PersistentViewBot(commands.Bot):
    def __init__(self):
        intents = discord.Intents.default()
        intents.message_content = True

        super().__init__(command_prefix=commands.when_mentioned_or('>'), intents=intents)```

[slate swan]

yeah fine

[smoky sinew]

put it above

[clear elm]

its above the command already

[slate swan]

show

[clear elm]

the whole code?

[slate swan]

sure

[clear elm]

a sec

[smoky sinew]

no it's not

the help command is above bot = PersistentViewBot()

[clear elm]

ohhh

u want me to put that above the command

[smoky sinew]

yes

[clear elm]

ok

[hushed galleon]

technically their initial statement was right, the class definition was above the command...

[smoky sinew]

that's why i said above the command lol

[smoky sinew]

where?

[hushed galleon]

class PersistentViewBot which was the misunderstanding

[clear elm]

uh the close command is broken, im getting an error

[smoky sinew]

their class definition was at the very bottom of their code before

[smoky sinew]

the channel does not have a topic

@clear elm you shouldn't use replit for hosting your bot

[clear elm]

i know, its just for now

[hushed galleon]

justin showed a snippet of class PersistentViewBot, you said to "put it above", they said it was already above the command and given the context it was a correct statement

[smoky sinew]

when was that

[clear elm]

isnt the topic the description?

[hushed galleon]

this convo 8 minutes ago?

[smoky sinew]

also, that's only for the help command, not any other commands

the code was here: https://paste.pythondiscord.com/dakajifina.py

[hushed galleon]

yeah when you go to edit a channel, it shows it as "channel topic"

[clear elm]

so why shouldn't it work

[hushed galleon]

oh well i thought you saw the new paste they sent right above your message
<#discord-bots message>

[smoky sinew]

they sent that code after i sent mine though

[hushed galleon]

you said "no its not" right after they showed the paste

[slate swan]

guys stop , its fine

[hushed galleon]

yeah its just a technicality

[hushed galleon]

did the channel you used the command in definitely has a channel topic? i dont see any reason it should be none otherwise

[clear elm]

mhm

it closes but it sends the error message even though there shouldn't be any rerors?

[smoky sinew]

but i mean it wasn't in that paste also

[slate swan]

use fetch with get

[smoky sinew]

you removed your members intent by the way @clear elm

[clear elm]

oh-

is that why?

[slate swan]

yeah ig

[hushed galleon]

wonder why dpy hasnt introduced try_* methods of their own

[slate swan]

yeah that would have been helpful

[smoky sinew]

i used to use enhanced-discord.py back when discord.py didn't support replies and was slow to implement anything

that had try_object methods and i kind of miss it

someone here should make a PR

maybe me but danny is very particular about things

[hushed galleon]

it has been [1 year, 3 weeks, 1 day] since i migrated from enhanced-discord.py, but it appears the fork's been archived now

i guess its not that hard to write your own try_* functions and throw it in some utils module

[clear elm]

where did i remove it?

[smoky sinew]

someone get danny's opinions on it and i will PR

i can't ask myself

[smoky sinew]

not remove, but you're not using it in the bot class

[clear elm]

oh

should i add it on top?

like where the bot is defined?

[smoky sinew]

just define it inside __init__

[clear elm]

what do i put?

[smoky sinew]

?

[clear elm]

nvm

        super().__init__(command_prefix=commands.when_mentioned_or('>'), intents=intents, intents = discord.Intents.all(), intents.members=True)```

[smoky sinew]

what no

[clear elm]

what do i add?

[smoky sinew]

i'm going to bed

sorry, but you should define it separately

[smoky sinew]

member is none, so you don't have the member in your cache

[clear elm]

but why is it none

[clear elm]

it closes the ticket but sends that it couldn't send the transcript in dms and it doesn't send it to the logging channel

[smoky sinew]

because it's not in your cache

get_member gets the member from your bot's cache

caching is when your bot saves the result of an API call so it doesn't have to do the call again

[clear elm]

can you help me fix it?

[smoky sinew]

your intents are probably messed up like i said

[clear elm]

how are they messed up? i have intents = discord.Intents.all()

[smoky sinew]

show the code

you can replace get_member with fetch_member but it'll be slower

The error literally just told you

[smoky sinew]

content

actually, any text together i think

including embed descriptions names fields

[clear elm]

how can i do something like this?

like a text file

[naive briar]

Just send the file

[hasty rain]

Yesterday I again found a group of Russian programmers, but they don’t have what I need =(

[smoky sinew]

it is one

there’s a discord.File class

thats not my bot, the one i currently have for my trnascript isnt a text fiel

i know, but the bot you showed sent a text file

[clear elm]

i know, i got it online as an example

[smoky sinew]

so what’s wrong

[clear elm]

i want to make my transcripts. a text file too, i can show you the current code

there are docs on discord.py’s website for discord.File please look at those first

[naive briar]

!d discord.File

[smoky sinew]

thank you catgal

wait you changed your name

[naive briar]

It's fine, I don't really care

[slate swan]

is there anyway to get the users connections data? like their twitter, twitch, reddit names?

[smoky sinew]

oauth2

[slate swan]

i saw this, but i'm not finding the params or anything for it in the docs. got a link? https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/discussions/7332

[smoky sinew]

oauth2 isn’t supported in discord.py

but what you linked is something different

the thing you linked is only for selfbots and was removed

[slate swan]

ohhh. So what do i need to learn next to grab this data if it's not discord.py?

webscraping or something?

[smoky sinew]

oauth2

set up a flask webserver

[surreal current]

What is the best way to get a dashboard up and running?

[smoky sinew]

https://github.com/Ext-Creators/discord-ext-ipc

[surreal current]

... that doesn't help much

[smoky sinew]

set up a website for your dashboard

and use IPC to communicate between that and your bot

[smoky sinew]

i mean you asked a very broad question

[surreal current]

true but I already know about ipc

[smoky sinew]

then what are you asking about

[surreal current]

hehe was already looking at that

[surreal current]

yk just forget it i'll figure it out lol ty for ur time

        return await pag.start()

This is the code I'm using, but it's not getting the entry from ctx.guild.bans(), its sending the paginated embed though, anyone that can help me?

I assume it's because I don't have entry defined, but I don't know what's the smartest way to define the entry

[left dew]

async def whois(ctx, user: Union[discord.Member, discord.User]=None):
what do i import to make Union defined? at the moment it is undefined

[smoky sinew]

from typing import Union

[left dew]

okay thanks

[smoky sinew]

typing has helpful stuff for annotations

[left dew]

yes

[smoky sinew]

Union just means you can pass in either User or Member

[vital glacier]

Would that also work for like ID & username?

[smoky sinew]

yes, but discord.py converters handle that for you

in commands at least

[vital glacier]

huh

how so

so like user: discord.Member = None

but like for instance, in an unban command

[smoky sinew]

if you annotate discord.Member for an argument:

@bot.command()
async def slap(ctx, member: discord.Member):
    # you can pass in either the id, a ping, or username
    await ctx.send(f"{member.mention} was slapped")

[vital glacier]

oh i see

[smoky sinew]

i'd assume discord.User would work in an unban command, i'm not sure

[vital glacier]

and what ab in an unban command, dont u gotta manually convert that?

hm

alright then

[vital glacier]

also @smoky sinew, any chance u can look at this?

[smoky sinew]

i'm not sure

what's wrong with it??

[vital glacier]

Well, it's not getting entry from ctx.guild.bans()

and i assume it's because entry is defined before it

because it sends the paginated embed but it doesnt get the bans from the guild

but ive got no idea how to get the entry from it otherwise icl

[smoky sinew]

you shouldn't define entry before it

[vital glacier]

Huh

[smoky sinew]

what do you mean?? ctx.guild.bans is empty??

[vital glacier]

It isn't tho

There is a ban in ctx.guild.bans, but it isnt getting it

[smoky sinew]

have you tried putting a print(entry)?

inside the loop

[vital glacier]

let me check

yeah it does get it from the bans

BanEntry(reason='x �#6899 (323118319144271872) | yeet', user=<User id=384905496819138561 name='px' discriminator='9070' bot=False>)

That's what it gets from the entry, which is correct.

But I assume it isn't working because entry isnt getting called after i defined it in async for entry in ctx.guild.bans()

[smoky sinew]

why are you using ret.append(f"")?

you are appending nothing and then sending that as a paginated message lol

shouldn't you make a list of entries and then use as_chunks on it?

probably a better way to do this but,

entries = []
async for entry in ctx.guild.bans():
    entries.append(entry)

pages = discord.utils.as_chunks(entries, 10)

[vital glacier]

yeah but would that work with a custom embed?

[smoky sinew]

it should

[vital glacier]

hm

time to figure that one out

[vital glacier]

yeah for some reason I can't seem to figure it out haha

It's harder then I thought mate

[smoky sinew]

what's wrong?

[vital glacier]

yeah idk, i just cant seem to properly figure it out

[smoky sinew]

the code doesn't work?

[vital glacier]

Because rn I did this right:

    @commands.command(
        name='bans',
        aliases=['banlist']
    )
    @commands.has_permissions(ban_members=True)
    async def bans(self, ctx):

        await ctx.typing()
        embeds=[]
        entries = []
        pagenum=0
        num = 0
        async for entry in ctx.guild.bans():
            entries.append(entry)
        if entry is None:
            return await ctx.success(f"This guild doesn\'t have any bans")
        pages = discord.utils.as_chunks(entries, 10)
        for page in pages:
            pagenum += 1
            embeds.append(discord.Embed(
                color=color,
                title=f'Bans in {ctx.guild.name}',
                description="\n".join(page))
                .set_author(name=ctx.author.display_name, icon_url=ctx.author.display_avatar)
                .set_footer(text=f'Page {pagenum}/{len(pages)}'))
        
        pag = Paginator(self.bot, embeds, ctx, invoker=ctx.author.id)

        pag.add_button('prev', emoji='![back](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1077829978240077896.webp?size=128 "back")')
        pag.add_button('goto', emoji='![enter](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1077859606681899009.webp?size=128 "enter")')
        pag.add_button('next', emoji='![next](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1077830055159414816.webp?size=128 "next")')
        pag.add_button('delete', emoji='![stop](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1077830212982677604.webp?size=128 "stop")')
        return await pag.start()```

which i most def assume it wouldnt work, but the error its giving me is: `discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: TypeError: sequence item 0: expected str instance, BanEntry found`

I changed stuff up but I assume it's still wrong lmfao

[smoky sinew]

i guess turn the entries into a string first for as_chunks

i've never had to use that function

[vital glacier]

how'd i do that then

Cus all i need is the person that got banned, their id and the reason ig

[smoky sinew]

it depends on how you want the bans to be formatted

[vital glacier]

not the whole thing

or just the person that got banned and their id

[smoky sinew]

formatted_entries = [f"{entry.user.name} ({entry.user.id}) - {entry.reason}" for entry in entries]

try something like this and then pass formatted_entries to as_chunks instead

[vital glacier]

ok lets try that out

[smoky sinew]

also, you wouldn't do if entry is None but if not entries instead

if entries will be True if the list isn't empty

[vital glacier]

true

i sometime make the codework before cleaning it up

purely for debugging stuff

especially with stuff like this, makes it easier for me

[smoky sinew]

https://gist.github.com/mudkipdev/4b0ce96a2d9bd6205e16c52798546571
somebody comment on my paginator pls lol

[green barn]

its actually pretty good ngl

[smoky sinew]

thank you

[vital glacier]

left a comment just for you mate 👍

that's p clean code aswell, damn

[smoky sinew]

i found out it looks cleaner with typehints so i started using them everywhere

[vital glacier]

fair enough

[smoky sinew]

lol

[vital glacier]

anyway i cant figure the bans cmd out, its not working the way i want lmfao

[smoky sinew]

there's an example on how to use it below

[vital glacier]

im ab to give up but its a useful cmd to have

[smoky sinew]

?

[vital glacier]

yeah just idk, i cant figure it out

[shrewd fjord]

Just tell your problems

[vital glacier]

Read back and you'll see what i mean

[smoky sinew]

wdym?

[vital glacier]

The error im getting rn is: discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: TypeError: sequence item 0: expected str instance, list found

[shrewd fjord]

Did u tru printing entries?

[smoky sinew]

oh i'm stupid nevermind

[shrewd fjord]

Oh wait...

[smoky sinew]

list of BanEntry

[vital glacier]

already did that, we've been over that

[shrewd fjord]

I mean if working or not

[smoky sinew]

but it should work?

[shrewd fjord]

Which line?

that's the code for now, not sure how else to do it

[shrewd fjord]

Actually, i made a simple paginator with View class only

[smoky sinew]

mine is a view

[shrewd fjord]

.join(page for page in page)

[smoky sinew]

it's also pretty simple, currently rewriting it to use a modal instead of wait_for

[vital glacier]

what

[naive briar]

!d str.join

[unkempt canyon]

str.join

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

[shrewd fjord]

description+="\n".join(page for page in page)

The page is a list

[vital glacier]

That's what I gotta do to make it work? lmfao

[shrewd fjord]

Yeah bro

[naive briar]

You're overriding the var

[shrewd fjord]

Yeah lol

Agreed 💀

[vital glacier]

yeah but that wont work lmfao

[shrewd fjord]

p for p in page

Works too lol

[naive briar]

!e

n = list(range(10))
print("".join(n for n in n))

Don't just copy and paste also

[shrewd fjord]

My bad 💀

[naive briar]

!e

n = list(range(10))
print("".join(str(n) for n in n))

[unkempt canyon]

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

0123456789

[vital glacier]

i know, i havent tested it that page for page in page, i was just wondering if that wouldve worked, and then i saw it was going to override it lmfao

[naive briar]

What

Python is confusing

[shrewd fjord]

Fr

[vital glacier]

It really is sometimes

[shrewd fjord]

Sometimes tho

Yeah

[shrewd fjord]

Rewrite it for all in one package 👀

[smoky sinew]

wdym?

[shrewd fjord]

Like, the current code u using, is only for discord.py

Make it so like, we can use it with any packages 💀

Tho u need use your 90% of braincells

[vital glacier]

let's not go there LOL

[smoky sinew]

it's dead simple to use

[vital glacier]

nice

[smoky sinew]

i reduced it by like 10 LOC by switching to a modal

[shrewd fjord]

Nice

[shrewd fjord]

So, you gave up? Or ended up fixing it 💀

[vital glacier]

Well, neither

[smoky sinew]

ok i updated the gist to use modals
https://gist.github.com/mudkipdev/4b0ce96a2d9bd6205e16c52798546571

[vital glacier]

I'm getting there, just not what I want tbh

[shrewd fjord]

[shrewd fjord]

Sed

[smoky sinew]

@vital glacier where's your comment you said you left?

[slate swan]

async def clear(ctx, limit: int = None):
    with open("kurac.json", 'r') as f:
        guild = json.loads(f.read())
    if ctx.guild.id not in guild['servers']:
        if limit == None:
            await ctx.channel.purge(limit=30)
            await ctx.send("[ **SUCCESSFULLY** ] - *deleted messages*")
        else:
            if limit > 30:
                await ctx.send("[**ERROR**] Your max limit is 30.")
            else:
                await ctx.channel.purge(limit=limit)
                await ctx.send("[ **SUCCESSFULLY** ] - *deleted messages*")

        else:
            await ctx.channel.purge(limit=limit)
            await ctx.send("[ **SUCCESSFULLY** ] - *deleted messages*")```
why it didnt read servers: in json

[vital glacier]

It's probably not showing up because i forgot my account is flagged for some dumb reason by github and their support it useless

They can't even fix their stuff or double check it because they're stupid smh

[smoky sinew]

my account gets flagged whenever i make an alt account

[vital glacier]

yeah

that's why mines flagged

[smoky sinew]

even though i have a perfectly legitimate reason for doing so

[vital glacier]

yeah wanna know what they're saying

[shrewd fjord]

Dumb securi-

[vital glacier]

that i own 5 or so other accounts even tho they're my friends, he logged into my github with his ip to connect it to his discord acc

[shrewd fjord]

Spooky's acc has been flagged

[vital glacier]

even tho if they check their logs they can see that i only own egirl on github

[smoky sinew]

spooky leave a comment pls

[shrewd fjord]

Yeah sure

[vital glacier]

ok so back to this problem:

    @commands.command(
        name='bans',
        aliases=['banlist']
    )
    @commands.has_permissions(ban_members=True)
    async def bans(self, ctx):

        await ctx.typing()
        embeds=[]
        entries=[]
        pagenum=0
        num = 0
        async for entry in ctx.guild.bans():
            num += 1
            entries.append(entry)
        if entry is None:
            return await ctx.success(f"This guild doesn\'t have any bans")
        pages = discord.utils.as_chunks(entries, 10)
        for page in pages:
            pagenum += 1
            embeds.append(discord.Embed(
                color=color,
                title=f'Bans in {ctx.guild.name}',
                description="\n".join(str(page) for page in page))
                .set_author(name=ctx.author.display_name, icon_url=ctx.author.display_avatar))
        
        pag = Paginator(self.bot, embeds, ctx, invoker=ctx.author.id)

        pag.add_button('prev', emoji='![back](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1077829978240077896.webp?size=128 "back")')

        return await pag.start()

This now sends this:

[smoky sinew]

that's why i said to use the list comprehension thing

[vital glacier]

yeah that didnt work for me tho

[naive briar]

Format the string 🥤

[smoky sinew]

formatted_entries = [f"{entry.user.name} ({entry.user.id}) - {entry.reason}" for entry in entries]

[vital glacier]

that was just sending me this:

[smoky sinew]

those buttons look clean though

[vital glacier]

thanks

[shrewd fjord]

emtry.name

[vital glacier]

my whole bot is focused on minimal look

[shrewd fjord]

As far as i know

Not entry.user

[smoky sinew]

i love that look but whenever i try to make my bot look like something it never works lol

[vital glacier]

It works for now for me

[green barn]

creds 2 me

[vital glacier]

If u want u can check out the bot, it's still a massive wip

[vital glacier]

that's the only thing u did smjh

[green barn]

LIES BRO

[vital glacier]

ok so if i string the entries, right

how would i do it with the entries.append(entry)

would it be
entries.append(formatted_entries)
formatted_entries.append(formatted_entries)
formatted_entries.append(entry)

cus idek atp

[shrewd fjord]

No.

[smoky sinew]

i'm confused

[vital glacier]

Yeah same

[green barn]

lol what

[smoky sinew]

why would you append the formatted_entries to entries and append formatted_entries to itself lol

[vital glacier]

Or would it be, entries.append(entry) and then where it says (formatted_entries, 10)

No wait that wouldnt make sense

[shrewd fjord]

Commented

Left 2 suggestions

[vital glacier]

anyway which one would it be tho @smoky sinew

[smoky sinew]

does just doing this and then sending formatted_entries in the embed work?

or doing "\n".join(formatted_entries) in the embed description i mean

[vital glacier]

uh

let me check that out

No, it just sends an empty embed @smoky sinew

[smoky sinew]

what

show the code

that shouldn't be possible tho

[vital glacier]

1sec

its not getting the page, so it wont get the entries from it

[naive briar]

Your entries var is empty

🤨

[vital glacier]

That's the list it's getting from the bans?

[shrewd fjord]

Bro..m

[vital glacier]

If I remove the formatted_entries line and revert it back ,it sends me this:

[shrewd fjord]

U r assigning
formatted_entries var than assignment entries first

Bruh

formatted_entries=.....
pages=...

Use formatted_entries var above pages var

[vital glacier]

So it should be like this then?

        if entry is None:
            return await ctx.success(f"This guild doesn\'t have any bans")
        formatted_entries = [f"{entry.user.name} ({entry.user.id}) - {entry.reason}" for entry in entries]
        pages = discord.utils.as_chunks(entries, 10)
        for page in pages:
            pagenum += 1
            embeds.append(discord.Embed(
                color=color,
                title=f'Bans in {ctx.guild.name}',
                description="\n".join(formatted_entries))
                .set_author(name=ctx.author.display_name, icon_url=ctx.author.display_avatar))

[shrewd fjord]

Yepp

[smoky sinew]

put formatted_entries after the loop

[vital glacier]

let me test that then i guess

Ok that works, thanks

[shrewd fjord]

Nice

[vital glacier]

Love all of you

[smoky sinew]

but you still want to paginate it

[vital glacier]

It's already paginated

[smoky sinew]

ok

Someone here who can help me?

Hey guys
I wrote a bot
when I assign the role twitch mod to a user, the bot will assign the role team to the user automatically
when I assign the role discord mod to a user, the bot will assign the role team to the user automatically
when a user has both roles, and I remove the role Twitch mod from the user the bot removes the role Team and assigns it again after realising that the user still has the role Discord mod
when a user has both roles, and I remove the role Discord mod from the user the bot removes the role Team and assigns it again after realising that the user still has the role twitch mod

What do you think is the issue here?
code: https://paste.pythondiscord.com/zuwucukego

The Issue is that on_member_update does not check, when I remove discord mod, if a member still has twitch mod as a role, how can I do that?

[slate swan]

why it didnt read servers: in json

[slate swan]

Can u explain breafily

[shrewd fjord]

Do you have intents enabled?

From code?

[slate swan]

hello does anyone here have knowledge in discord.js? if yes could you dm me and help me to make message embedder

[vocal snow]

you could also ask in the discord.js server

discord.gg/djs

[slate swan]

oh thanks

hello, so I am trying to make this command which shows user's inventory, but I have a problem with the buttons that its not editing

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/uzuricudoy

[young pendant]

The intents aren't the issue
on_member_update is

and yes, I do have intents enabled

[slate swan]

It didnt read json file
{"Server": [[id server]]
Idk why

[slate swan]

Can u try printing guild

[slate swan]

Idk, i think problem is in read json idk why

[slate swan]

In your button callbacks you're editing self.message and passing in self.current_page +- 1 which is just an integer. Also:

• You assigned self.message as None so you should probably assign your actual message object instead
• button and interaction parameters in your button callbacks are in reverse order (and consider deferring the interaction response so you don't get interaction failed)

[young dagger]

    member = ctx.author
    summoner = await collection.find_one({"discord_id": member.id})

    if summoner:
        summoner_name = summoner.get("summoner_name")
        tier_and_rank = summoner.get("tier_and_rank")
        elo = summoner.get("elo_rating")
        users.append(
            {"member": member, "summoner_name": summoner_name, "tier_and_rank": tier_and_rank, "elo_rating": elo})

                    users.remove(user)
                    embed = discord.Embed(title=f'',

                    await ctx.send(embed=embed)
        asyncio.create_task(remove_from_users())```

Is there any way to simplify?

for user in users:
                if user['member'] == member:
                    users.remove(user)```

[slate swan]

thank you very much 🙏

[naive briar]

Simplify what

[young dagger]

I don't really know tbh. I wish I could just simply use if member in users: and then users.remove(member) but for some reason that is not working

[slate swan]

a list comprehension ```py
users = [user for user in users if user["member"] != member]

then do your sending embed stuff seperately

[naive briar]

Isn't that set

[slate swan]

yep i realised that :p

though that would work too

[slate swan]

That’s a why im telling to print

[slate swan]

Can i send u code in dm and u can try to fix?

thank you

[slate swan]

But what's the issue in printing "guild" ?

[maiden fable]

He was probably expecting the guild name, not the guild object <Guild ... >

[slate swan]

.

[slate swan]

U dont understand me ....
It didnt read file i added bot command add guild
And clear now didnt read the json file

[shadow wraith]

how would i go about making a command that checks the reaction made by a user of a specific message and sending the emoji of the reaction

[maiden fable]

!d discord.Message.reactions

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message.reactions

Reactions to a message. Reactions can be either custom emoji or standard unicode emoji.

[maiden fable]

!d discord.Reaction.emoji

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Reaction.emoji

The reaction emoji. May be a custom emoji, or a unicode emoji.

[shadow wraith]

interesting i'll have a look

[shadow wraith]

actually

how would i check the reactions of a user in an entire channel

not just a message

[maiden fable]

You will have to iterate through text_channel.history() but there is a high chance u will be ratelimited

[shadow wraith]

the channel only has 2 messages

will that get me rate limited

[maiden fable]

nah

heyy, I am having this problem, when I changed from normal commands to app_commands, i dont really know what I am doing wrong with my buttons anymore https://paste.pythondiscord.com/oconicadeg I tried changing many things but still nothing worked

Any errors in the console

[slate swan]

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

Well there's your issue
You're calling await view.start(...) and passing in an Interaction object, which doesn't have a send method
You're probably after interaction.response.send_message(...)

I tried that too

I got another error then

  File "C:\Users\Kynhogat\AppData\Local\Packages\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.10_qbz5n2kfra8p0\LocalCache\local-packages\Python310\site-packages\discord\ui\view.py", line 425, in _scheduled_task

    await self.message.edit(embed=self.pages[self.current_page], view=self)
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'edit'

that happens when i click on a button

Because send_message doesn't return the response I don't think

So self.message is just None

after running the command i got an response but when i click on its buttons nothing happens and i get that error

Try use edit_original_response to edit an interaction response

alright i will try it

still an error

[tired pollen]

defer it first then use edit_original_response

[zealous yarrow]

i ll show u may code

[smoky sinew]

ok

check what library you are using though

it's sometimes different

[zealous yarrow]

import discord
from discord.ext import commands

# Intents
var_prefix = ";"
var_intent = discord.Intents.default()
var_intent.messages = True
var_intent.message_content = True
bot = commands.Bot(intents = var_intent ,command_prefix=var_prefix)

#------------------------------------
@bot.command()

async def say(ctx,arg):
    try :
        await ctx.message.delete()
        await ctx.send(arg)
    except:
        temp_embed=discord.Embed(title="Missing Argument",
                                 url="si=d95ecd56be0a459a",

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

[smoky sinew]

that's not how you handle errors

errors are raised outside of your code, you need an on_command_error to catch command errors

[zealous yarrow]

ph

oh*

[smoky sinew]

@bot.event
async def on_command_error(ctx, error):
    if isinstance(error, commands.MissingRequiredArgument):
        await ctx.send("an error occured")

[zealous yarrow]

oh

[tired pollen]

or user
@commandname.error
Decorator
For specific command

[smoky sinew]

also, your argument will only be one word in your command

anyone knows a 24/7 bot hoster that is free?

Self-hosting

how do i check for file size?
example if a file is over 35 kilobytes
it will print hello 1
if a file is under 35 kilobytes
it will print hello 2

[slate swan]

!d os.path.getsize

[unkempt canyon]

os.path.getsize

os.path.getsize(path)```
Return the size, in bytes, of *path*. Raise [`OSError`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/exceptions.html#OSError "OSError") if the file does not exist or is inaccessible.

Changed in version 3.6: Accepts a [path-like object](https://docs.python.org/3/glossary.html#term-path-like-object).

[slate swan]

this doesnt help

for example if i send a screenshot it contains a file size
so if its over 35 kb it will just do the thing that i just siad

[smoky sinew]

#965291480992321536

[slate swan]

if you mean a discord.Attachment just read the bytes using .read() method and use len on it

[slate swan]

I found a discord bot host

On discord

[smoky sinew]

just use a popular one

if you find something on discord it will probably be sketchy

[slate swan]

i used discloud

Its legit and popular

[steep wedge]

Why not just pay $1 per month for something more reliable

[smoky sinew]

slash commands are so useless

if i want to make a /settings command that takes in a key and a value

let's say i have a "language" setting, and the user can set it to english or spanish

i'll just set the type of the value to str

but i want to make a "starboard" setting, and i need the user to type in a channel for the starboard, i can't annotate it as textchannel because i already set it to str

[sick birch]

... what's the limit on subcommands 🤔

You could make a sub-slash-command for each setting

At the very least it would be properly typed

[smoky sinew]

i don't even think you can have more than 100 global commands

that's why i want to reuse it

[sick birch]

rip

i mean could you do the same thing with prefix commands though?

Using typing.Union[] for 20 different type just seems eh

do subcommands count towards that?

[slate swan]

It didnt work it spam Your max limit is 30 but i have json and id in json
Like
[["Id of server"]]

I don't know where am i wrong, it's my first time working in json

[smoky sinew]

what are you using the json for

[slate swan]

Adding guilds for purge command

[smoky sinew]

shouldn't it be ```json
{
"guilds": [
guild_id
]
}

[slate swan]

No

Only []

[smoky sinew]

you can't do [] in json

i'm pretty sure the first character needs to be {

[slate swan]

Kk ill make this in json

[naive briar]

Not true

[smoky sinew]

and then do if ctx.guild.id in guild["guilds"]:

[smoky sinew]

what is it then?
