DMs work or I can make a forum post thingy

[slate swan]

can u gimme a proper fixed code

of that cmd

[quick gust]

I will not spoonfeed you, you must learn on your own

[slate swan]

okay so what i do to fix that

[quick gust]

but I'll make it easier for you, you CAN do guild = ctx.guild

[slate swan]

hm okii wait lemme check

[quick gust]

or you can remove that line entirely and replace guild to ctx.guild everywhere in your command

[slate swan]

how to make this script work on bots too, is working only on users (connecting using token)

[maiden fable]

wait, that f string will automatically print log_channel = <log_channel var>?

[fallow mauve]

isnt using code to control users illegal

[velvet compass]

!e

my_var = "some value"
print(f"{my_var = }")

[unkempt canyon]

@velvet compass :white_check_mark: Your 3.11 eval job has completed with return code 0.

my_var = 'some value'

[maiden fable]

TIL

[velvet compass]

Thats probably my favorite f-string hack

[sick birch]

They said it was a bot token

[maiden fable]

Its now my fav too 😄

Gonna make my life so much easier istg

[sick birch]

Should be

{
  "Authorization": "Bot TOKEN_HERE"
}

It's important that you have Bot literal before the token

[quick gust]

why not just straight up print the variable?

so you can have the my_var = before?

[unkempt canyon]

Hey @sick birch! I noticed you posted a seemingly valid Discord API token in your message and have removed your message. This means that your token has been compromised. Please change your token immediately at: https://discord.com/developers/applications

Feel free to re-post it with the token removed. If you believe this was a mistake, please let us know!

[sick birch]

smh

@slate swan

[slate swan]

depends

[sick birch]

No, it doesn't

I'm assuming you're good because that's a bot token

[slate swan]

yep

[velvet compass]

It does not depend. If you are automating user actions it is against Discord's ToS and they will obliterate your account

[slate swan]

@velvet compass true

[gilded cedar]

How to make a discord bot send specific channel but on a specific server do you guys any ideas?

[sick birch]

Do you have the ID of the channel?

[quick gust]

I recently reset my bot token and secret, replaced the old token with the new token but the bot isn't responding? I'm not explicitly setting the client secret either so... what am I supposed to do?

[gilded cedar]

yes i have

[sick birch]

!d discord.Client.get_channel

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Client.get\_channel

get_channel(id, /)```
Returns a channel or thread with the given ID.

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

[sick birch]

Message content intents?

[quick gust]

enabled

[maiden fable]

in code too?

[quick gust]

yep

[maiden fable]

Processing commands, in case of overriding of on_message?

[slate swan]

still dont work @sick birch

[quick gust]

nope I'm using a listener

[slate swan]

The channel id is correct.

shoud i put v9?

[quick gust]

to mention: it was working before I reset the secret and token

[sick birch]

Perhaps get the result and check for errors?

[slate swan]

how to check errors :)

[sick birch]

r = requests.post(...)
print(r.json())

https://discord.com/developers/docs/resources/channel#get-channel-messages

according to the documentation that's a GET method

[slate swan]

yes

so i cant use this on bots?

[sick birch]

You're supposed to use this on bots

What is the returned error message?

[sick birch]

paste the traceback please

its too small to read

Also what are you trying to do?

You're getting the last 50 messages but then ignoring the response

[slate swan]

just send message

im just testing :)

this is what it does

i think i need to rewrite this

or?

[sick birch]

that endpoint doesn't send message

it fetches the last 50 messages and returns the result

https://discord.com/developers/docs/resources/channel#create-message

This is the endpoint that sends messages

[slate swan]

so what can i do

[sick birch]

Use the proper endpoint

[slate swan]

i need endpoint?

[sick birch]

Yes

[fallow mauve]

so... how do slash commands work now

discord.py is updated since i last used it is it different

[slate swan]

@sick birch but should i remain on v6?

[fading wigeon]

Hey guys I have a problem

[fallow mauve]

shoot

[sick birch]

it's deprecated, so no

[fading wigeon]

I'm actually just starting out, and while following a tutorial, made a small program, but it returns an error.

`
import discord
from discord.ext import commands

TOKEN = "BOT TOKEN"
client = commands.Bot(command_prefix = '.')
#answers with the ms latency
@client.command()
async def ping(ctx):
await ctx.send(f'Pong! {round (client.latency * 1000)}ms ')

client.run(TOKEN)

`

And this is the error:

`
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:/Users/alsat/OneDrive/TEJ & SAI/A TEJ/OTHERS/TEMPORARY FILES/temp.py", line 6, in <module>
client = commands.Bot(command_prefix = '.')
TypeError: init() missing 1 required keyword-only argument: 'intents'

`

[deep copper]

Not sure how it works but I have the code for you if u want?

[sick birch]

https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/tree/master/examples here are examples

[fallow mauve]

id like someone to explain how it works so i can build upon it later pls

[fallow mauve]

thx robin

[sick birch]

np

[slate swan]

You need to specify which intents your bot needs to function inside your instance of commands.Bot

[fallow mauve]

this is lookin similar to cogs if i remember correctly, any idea why?

[fading wigeon]

What are intents? I'm new to this

[fallow mauve]

basically permissions you give your bot

[slate swan]

@sick birch should i use v9?

[fading wigeon]

so the perms integer?

[fallow mauve]

no

in your code do this:

from discord import Intents

and

intents = Intents.default()
intents.message_content = True
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix = "!", intents = intents)

[slate swan]

Essentially they are telling Discord which events/data your bot needs from Discord in order to function.

[fallow mauve]

the intents.message_content = True can be copied and then edited for other intents, just replace the message.content part with the intent name

[slate swan]

https://discord.com/api/v9/channels/1080183393939095673/messages?limit=50

[peak pilot]

tp

[slate swan]

what i need to modify?

[fading wigeon]

Oh ok thanks!

[peak pilot]

Yo*, my discord bot won’t respond to any commands. Anyone help?

[slate swan]

the limit i guess what can i enter here

[fallow mauve]

send code

[slate swan]

anyone know how to fix

[sick birch]

Sure

[slate swan]

pls

[short ice]

Hi can someone help me?

[white citrus]

@sick birch I tried that from yesterday, but an await keeps coming up which cannot be executed

[sick birch]

All the code in get_options should be moved into the command

And the get options function should be deleted

[short ice]

@sick birch Can you help me?

with me prob

[white citrus]

And then? why should this be in the command?

[sick birch]

Because the command is asynchronous

[white citrus]

Okay but first look here
#1080233650047688734 message

and the options must be created in init

[sick birch]

Sure. Just pass in the options as parameters

But do the actual fetching in the command

[white citrus]

The idea is to only list the first 25 warnings, since a select menu can only have 25 options. You can then use a button called "Page 2", for example, to see the next 25 warnings in another select menu

[sick birch]

Yes. Your select class shouldn't do any data fetching

Fetch it in the command and pass it down

[white citrus]

And how does the view then get the options?

[sick birch]

Pass it in as parameters

The view can then use that and pass it down again to the select

[white citrus]

Create the list in the command or in the view?

[sick birch]

The command, since it's async

Command (fetch async data here) -> pass to View -> view passes to select

[short ice]

?

can you robin?

i don't want to mention you again cause its annoyed .Can you help me with my problem?

[steep wedge]

what are you trying to do with that line of code

also i would suggest you delete that screenshot @short ice

[white citrus]

    @warn.subcommand(name="edit-by-user")
    async def warn_edit_by_user(self, inter: nc.Interaction,
                            member: nc.Member = SlashOption(name="member", description="Please select a member", required=True)):
            
        
        async with aiosqlite.connect("maja.db") as db:
            async with db.cursor() as cursor:
                await cursor.execute('SELECT case_id FROM warning_system WHERE user_id, guild_id = ?, ?', (member.id, nc.Interaction.guild.id,))
                cases = await cursor.fetchall()
                options = []
                for case_id in cases:
                    await cursor.execute('SELECT reason FROM warning_system WHERE case_id, guild_id = ?, ?', (case_id, nc.Interaction.guild.id,))
                    reason = await cursor.fetchone()
                    new_option = nc.SelectOption(label=str(case_id), description=reason[0])
                    options.append(new_option)
        
        
                  
            dropdown = EditWarnDropdown(member, options)
            await inter.response.send_message(content="hi", view=dropdown)```

@sick birch is this now right?

[hushed galleon]

you wrote an extra m in has_permmissions

[short ice]

wait

[short ice]

that was right ty

but when i use the command clear it shows me that

[white citrus]

@hushed galleon do you know the issue from yesterday?

[hushed galleon]

well it seems you're at least kind of getting the idea right now

[hushed galleon]

is your setup method adding the cog?

[white citrus]

i found a solution with robin but now i got a error. I think i forgot something but i dont know what

here is the error

[short ice]

wait

[thin raft]

send main file

[short ice]

there?

[thin raft]

here

[thin raft]

you need to load it

[rare echo]

that is the main file?

[thin raft]

and you need to pass a bot object not a client object

you should rename client to bot*

[short ice]

ok wait

still

[rare echo]

why is it in a class?

at that point you might as well make cog

[white citrus]

someone can help shortly?

[thin raft]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.load_extension

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.load\_extension

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

Loads an extension.

An extension is a python module that contains commands, cogs, or listeners.

An extension must have a global function, `setup` defined as the entry point on what to do when the extension is loaded. This entry point must have a single argument, the `bot`.

Changed in version 2.0: This method is now a [coroutine](https://docs.python.org/3/glossary.html#term-coroutine "(in Python v3.11)").

[short ice]

how can i make a Cog

[mild zephyr]

why using normal commands? slash are much more effective and easier to use

[thin raft]

that depends tbh

I would make hybrid commands

[short ice]

ok

[short ice]

can you send me a vid of slash commands

[thin raft]

use the docs

[mild zephyr]

i suggest disnake

[short ice]

where?

[mild zephyr]

https://github.com/DisnakeDev/disnake/tree/master/examples/interactions

https://docs.disnake.dev/en/latest/

you can do text commands, slash command, user command, and message commands

[short ice]

ok ty

what do i put there

[cloud dawn]

Your deepest sorrows

[rare echo]

i believe in you panda

[unkempt canyon]

`if __name__ == '__main__'`

This is a statement that is only true if the module (your source code) it appears in is being run directly, as opposed to being imported into another module. When you run your module, the __name__ special variable is automatically set to the string '__main__'. Conversely, when you import that same module into a different one, and run that, __name__ is instead set to the filename of your module minus the .py extension.

Example

# foo.py

print('spam')

if __name__ == '__main__':
    print('eggs')

If you run the above module foo.py directly, both 'spam'and 'eggs' will be printed. Now consider this next example:

# bar.py

import foo

If you run this module named bar.py, it will execute the code in foo.py. First it will print 'spam', and then the if statement will fail, because __name__ will now be the string 'foo'.

Why would I do this?

• Your module is a library, but also has a special case where it can be run directly
• Your module is a library and you want to safeguard it against people running it directly (like what pip does)
• Your module is the main program, but has unit tests and the testing framework works by importing your module, and you want to avoid having your main code run during the test

this is a simple command

[short ice]

yy

[cloud dawn]

slash_command sweating

[mild zephyr]

if you want better options, without having to use specific stuffs

you can add the "option" param in the command and use a list of "disnake.Option"

[cloud dawn]

Phew Disnake, my heart dropped for a sec.

[short ice]

yy

[mild zephyr]

why? x3

disnake is times better than discord.py, plsu who knows maybe danny decides again to drop the lib

i prefer a stable one

[cloud dawn]

Discord interaction uses the same format iirc

[mild zephyr]

i mean yeah x3

i still prefer disnake, kinda know that tomorrow i wont see a message about "Deprecating the library"

[river plank]

So I kindoff have a dynamic inventory code I wanted to integrate into discord.py, don't exactly know how

for x in PlayerDetails["Inventory"]: print("[",PlayerDetails["Inventory"].index(x)+1,"]",".","[",x[0],"]")

Just didn't know where to start

How would I exactly put all the details into the description of 1 embed

[white citrus]

The button should be under the dropdown

how can i fix that

[glad cradle]

!intents

[unkempt canyon]

Using intents in discord.py

Intents are a feature of Discord that tells the gateway exactly which events to send your bot. 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.

why wont my bot respond

[thin raft]

why would it

[thin raft]

is that your whole code?

[peak pilot]

only in responses

im new 2 coding idk :(

[fallow mauve]

is there a way to make a bot copy text to the users clipboard through a command

[thin raft]

You should learn how to code first

and then start with dpy

[thin raft]

no

[fallow mauve]

i told you, learn python first

[peak pilot]

yeah i was watching that vid a lil bit still didnt get it lol

alr alr alr ill watch all the way through some day, cuz that i did not do

[river plank]

^^^

[slate swan]

i belive the PlayerDetails["Inventory"] is a list of strings right?

if so:

...

description = ", ".join(PlayerDetails["Inventory"])

embed = Embed(description=description)
...``` something like this will work

[glad cradle]

you need to modify the row of these components, iirc you can supply that kwarg on the respective object component instantiation, though it depends on the library and actually I haven't used that much nextcord but I know for sure this

[slate swan]

i work with nextcord and to every Item you can provide row argument

[glad cradle]

no but you can send a message with the contents of a message in the DMs of users

pretty similar to @lament depot bookmark command

[slate swan]

.src bm

hm

[sick birch]

We actually deprecated this recently

.src bookmark

[lament depot]

Command: bookmark

Teach the invoker how to use the new context-menu based command for a smooth migration.

[glad cradle]

why 😭

[slate swan]

works within #sir-lancebot-playground

[glad cradle]

oh replaced with a new thing

[sick birch]

I have an open PR to bring it back though

[steep wedge]

!d f strings

!d format strings

[slate swan]

i see

[steep wedge]

nevermind

[slate swan]

!fstrings

[unkempt canyon]

Format-strings

Creating a Python string with your variables using the + operator can be difficult to write and read. F-strings (format-strings) make it easy to insert values into a string. If you put an f in front of the first quote, you can then put Python expressions between curly braces in the string.

>>> snake = "pythons"
>>> number = 21
>>> f"There are {number * 2} {snake} on the plane."
"There are 42 pythons on the plane."

Note that even when you include an expression that isn't a string, like number * 2, Python will convert it to a string for you.

[steep wedge]

oh right i'm being silly haha

[terse coyote]

I have a code

file = discord.File(file_path, filename=os.path.basename(file_path))
embed = discord.Embed(
        color=embed_color
    )
    embed.set_image(url=f"attachment://{image_file_path}")
await interaction.followup.send(embed=embed, file=file)

but the bot sends photos and embeds separately

[slate swan]

x in attachment://x should be same as the filename variable in your discord.File

[wanton pebble]

how can i wait for a wait for reaction? lol

[fading marlin]

!d discord.Client.wait_for

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Client.wait\_for

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

Waits for a WebSocket event to be dispatched.

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

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

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

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

[fading marlin]

there's an example in the docs

[wanton pebble]

thank you

[smoky sinew]

hello guys

[fading marlin]

hi

[wanton pebble]

;-; all i can find is the wait for command

[fading marlin]

what are you looking for exactly?

[smoky sinew]

you should be using wait_for, just wait for a reaction event

await bot.wait_for("reaction_add", check = ...)

[wanton pebble]

i used wait for but i make it send a message the line after

but it'll send that message reaction or none
i want it to wait for a reaction before sending ;-;

[fading marlin]

that's what wait_for does

[wanton pebble]

it sends the message without one tho-

[fading marlin]

could you send your code?

[wanton pebble]

sure one sec

[wanton pebble]

          def check(reaction, user):
            return message.id==reaction.message.id
          try:
            reaction, user = await bot.wait_for('reaction_add', timeout=60.0, check=check)

          except asyncio.TimeoutError:
            pass
          
          if reactedTimes==0:
            msg_sent=await message.channel.send("Loading")

[smoky sinew]

you should be waiting outside the check function

[slate swan]

why does datetime always give me issues 😦
AttributeError: type object 'datetime.datetime' has no attribute 'datetime'

tried both of these

import datetime
from datetime import datetime

[smoky sinew]

you only need one @slate swan

those are conflicting

[wanton pebble]

i am discord just parsed it that way lemme edit my msg

ahhh

def check has the same indentation as try

[smoky sinew]

it should

[wanton pebble]

it does but still sends without reaction ;-;

[smoky sinew]

what do you mean "sends without reaction"?

[wanton pebble]

like it sends the last line (a message) without any reactions on the message

it dosent actually wait for a reaction ;-;

[smoky sinew]

on_reaction_add does not send a message, it returns a reaction and a user

oh nvm

i'm not sure

[wanton pebble]

if you really want both you can use

import datetime
from datetime import datetime as dt

that way both work like

datetime.datetime.utcnow()
dt.utcnow()

or just keep it simple

import datetime
datetime.datetime.utcnow()

[wanton pebble]

well thank you, ill figure something out lol

[thin raft]

Invalid permissions given to keyword arguments.

                channel: discord.VoiceChannel = await self.create_channel(member)

                permissions = channel.overwrites_for(member)
                permissions.manage_permissions = True

                await channel.set_permissions(
                    member,
                    permissions = permissions
                )```

how can I do it then?

[slate swan]

why would you provide a permission overwrite obj to permissions

[thin raft]

I sent it wrong

[slate swan]

just use channel.edit and use permission_overwrites kwarg

[thin raft]

I was just trying some permissions and sent that one, but I can't also use connect permission, mnanage_channel etc

[thin raft]

overwrites?

!d discord.VoiceChannel.edit

[unkempt canyon]

discord.VoiceChannel.edit

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

Edits the channel.

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

Changed in version 1.3: The `overwrites` keyword-only parameter was added.

Changed in version 2.0: Edits are no longer in-place, the newly edited channel is returned instead.

Changed in version 2.0: The `region` parameter now accepts [`str`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#str "(in Python v3.11)") instead of an enum...

[thin raft]

in this way, how could I make it for a single user?

[slate swan]

overwrites are per user/role

the passed object for that kwarg should be like this ```py
{ member1: PermissionOverwrite, member2: PermissionOverwrite}

!d discord.PermissionOverwrite i think there's an example here

[unkempt canyon]

discord.PermissionOverwrite

class discord.PermissionOverwrite(**kwargs)```
A type that is used to represent a channel specific permission.

Unlike a regular [`Permissions`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Permissions "discord.Permissions"), the default value of a permission is equivalent to `None` and not `False`. Setting a value to `False` is **explicitly** denying that permission, while setting a value to `True` is **explicitly** allowing that permission.

The values supported by this are the same as [`Permissions`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Permissions "discord.Permissions") with the added possibility of it being set to `None`.

x == y Checks if two overwrites are equal.

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

iter(x) Returns an iterator of `(perm, value)` pairs. This allows it to be, for example, constructed as a dict or a list of pairs. Note that aliases are not shown.

[thin raft]

yeah I am there
let me test it

bruh

the member ahs permissions for managing but can't manage

[slate swan]

ty!

[wanton pebble]

you're welcome

[burnt imp]

Code: py if before.user != before.after: print("Username change")
Error:py AttributeError: 'User' object has no attribute 'user'

[naive briar]

Read the error

[burnt imp]

Yeah I know

What do I use to see a username update

[smoky sinew]

before.name and after.name

[burnt imp]

ah

[smoky sinew]

before and after are both users

[sage finch]

how do I start coding

[burnt imp]

ah I see it now

[smoky sinew]

!resources

[unkempt canyon]

Resources

The Resources page on our website contains a list of hand-selected learning resources that we regularly recommend to both beginners and experts.

[smoky sinew]

for discord.py read the discord.py documentation

but only if you're somewhat familiar with python

[sage finch]

I don’t get it

I’m sped lmao

can someone code a server for me? Or is that not possible

[smoky sinew]

what do you mean?

[sage finch]

like members in a discord server

[smoky sinew]

?

a discord bot?

[sage finch]

yeah

[smoky sinew]

what do you want it to do

[sage finch]

give me free members

or is that not possible ?

if not can u give nitro bot

[smoky sinew]

sorry we don't do that here

[sage finch]

wym

oh

dangit

well cns u help me and walk me through how to code

[smoky sinew]

member bots and nitro bots are against discord terms of service

[sage finch]

oh

what else bot can you do

[smoky sinew]

i'm sure you know that

[sage finch]

I didn’t lmao

what other bot can u do ?

[smoky sinew]

i won't code a bot for you, if you have questions or an error with an existing bot ask your question here

this is for discord bot help and discussion

[sage finch]

oh ok

[slate swan]

what should i add to my discord bot

[smoky sinew]

surely there's a better way to do that...

[fading wigeon]

While following a tutorial, I wrote the code for a basic discord bot
`
import discord

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

client = discord.Client(intents=intents)

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

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

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

client.run("my token")

[smoky sinew]

that's correct, but isn't that just the quick start bot?

[scarlet aurora]

so u don't know?

[smoky sinew]

It is recommended to go to https://discord.com/developers/applications/ and explicitly enable the privileged intents within your application's page

[sick birch]

You don't really need to know what it means

[smoky sinew]

this is pretty clearly telling what to do

[sick birch]

Just follow the steps outlined in the error message

[scarlet aurora]

nvm I figured out my problem

[scarlet aurora]

how would u do it

[sick birch]

Privledged intents are these btw @fading wigeon

[sick birch]

Dict

[smoky sinew]

if you're trying to make reaction roles, just make a message-role map

messages = {
    message_id: role
}

then, when someone reacts to that message give or take away the role

this pretty much cuts down your actual reaction code by half

[scarlet aurora]

ah

I see can you redirect me to this module

or a tutorialk

[slate swan]

i just learned theres discord menus as an alternative for buttons ;.;... is one better than the other?

[fast musk]

menus?

[smoky sinew]

it isn't an alternative

menus only supports reactions as far as i'm aware

[fast musk]

oh, they mean that ext.menus package

meh

[smoky sinew]

menus is a helper extension to make reaction menus but it's pretty much obsolete

[slate swan]

gotcha

[fast musk]

Danny did say they were going to work on Pages which is essentially that, but with views

[smoky sinew]

@slate swan are you making a paginator?

[fast musk]

no eta though. It's easy to roll your own though

[slate swan]

yeah

[smoky sinew]

you can look at or use mine if you'd like
https://gist.github.com/mudkipdev/4b0ce96a2d9bd6205e16c52798546571

it uses buttons

it's easy to add your own code on top of it

[slate swan]

I will probably use it as an example 🙂 ty. someone gave me their paginator w/ that used disnake and a bunch of other stuff a few months ago and i still haven't fully understood it 😄 so i've just pushed it off till i finished my mimo coding lessons.
this is very nicely done though.

[smoky sinew]

thank you

[graceful ermine]

How could I detect a custom status?

Hey, I'm trying to make it so that if a user runs !statuscheck it tells them their custom status how could I code that?
and if the keyword is set to "A" they get a role!

[slate swan]

Checking before.activity and after.activity.
If you’re doing something for games, or streaming, you need to look for those values specifically and some users don’t have it work right for streaming so I just made a twitch parser with the connections from oauth2

[smoky sinew]

i do not know if that's possible?

custom statuses are not really activities

[frosty parrot]

is it wrong ?

[naive briar]

Can

[dull terrace]

would the calculation change if i removed the outermost brackets? base_xp *= ((cfg.xp.dig_down + cfg.xp.dig_side) / 2)

[naive briar]

Do you know what decorators are

[naive briar]

These?

base_xp *= ((cfg.xp.dig_down + cfg.xp.dig_side) / 2)
           ^                                       ^

[dull terrace]

[smoky sinew]

no it would not

[unkempt mauve]

where can I get full information on interaction.guild? like how to get its name, members count, owner, roles count, etc

[naive briar]

Read the docs

!d discord.Guild

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild

class discord.Guild```
Represents a Discord guild.

This is referred to as a “server” in the official Discord UI.

x == y Checks if two guilds are equal.

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

hash(x) Returns the guild’s hash.

str(x) Returns the guild’s name.

[unkempt mauve]

so its a discord.Guild, not a discord.interaction.Guild?

[naive briar]

discord.Interaction.guild returns discord.Guild

[smoky sinew]

that's not a thing

well, not capital guild anyway

[unkempt mauve]

discord.app_commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command 'server' raised an exception: TypeError: object of type 'property' has no len()

[smoky sinew]

what does your code look like

you are trying to use len() on a property

[unkempt mauve]

I want the bot to show the amount of channels in the embed not the whole list

[smoky sinew]

can you show your code

i can't help like this

[unkempt mauve]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/uwisenejog

[naive briar]

Do you know OOP

[smoky sinew]

what catlover said, it needs to be interaction.guild

also you should use 4 spaces or a tab as indentation not 2 spaces

[unkempt mauve]

its the same issue

[naive briar]

No, just try it

[unkempt mauve]

I did already

[smoky sinew]

no

len(discord.Guild.text_channels) does not work

[unkempt mauve]

then how do I get the count

[naive briar]

Get it from an instance

You should at least know what instances are before trying discord.py

[unkempt mauve]

am I dumb or smth. I havent put the line await interaction.response.send_message

finally

interaction.guild worked

Can anyone send me the docs that explains how to make the bot send time like this: <t:1677730495:f>

[naive briar]

!d discord.utils.format_dt

[unkempt canyon]

discord.utils.format\_dt

discord.utils.format_dt(dt, /, style=None)```
A helper function to format a [`datetime.datetime`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html#datetime.datetime "(in Python v3.11)") for presentation within Discord.

This allows for a locale-independent way of presenting data using Discord specific Markdown...

[river plank]

yea,[["Heasing",50,"Common"],["Heasing2",30,"Rare"]],technically this is how it works in my normal python code , just wanted to replicate that in the description of my embed

[slate swan]

Can you provide some code?

[river plank]

oh

ok\

Inventory = [["Heasing",50,"Common"],["Heasing2",30,"Rare"]]
for x in Inventory: 
print("[",Inventory.index(x)+1,"]",".","[",x[0],"]")

@slate swan^

[slate swan]

This is really messy

You should look into

!fstrings

[unkempt canyon]

Format-strings

Creating a Python string with your variables using the + operator can be difficult to write and read. F-strings (format-strings) make it easy to insert values into a string. If you put an f in front of the first quote, you can then put Python expressions between curly braces in the string.

>>> snake = "pythons"
>>> number = 21
>>> f"There are {number * 2} {snake} on the plane."
"There are 42 pythons on the plane."

Note that even when you include an expression that isn't a string, like number * 2, Python will convert it to a string for you.

[slate swan]

!d enumerate

[unkempt canyon]

enumerate

enumerate(iterable, start=0)```
Return an enumerate object. *iterable* must be a sequence, an [iterator](https://docs.python.org/3/glossary.html#term-iterator), or some other object which supports iteration. The [`__next__()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#iterator.__next__ "iterator.__next__") method of the iterator returned by [`enumerate()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#enumerate "enumerate") returns a tuple containing a count (from *start* which defaults to 0) and the values obtained from iterating over *iterable*.

```py
>>> seasons = ['Spring', 'Summer', 'Fall', 'Winter']
>>> list(enumerate(seasons))
[(0, 'Spring'), (1, 'Summer'), (2, 'Fall'), (3, 'Winter')]
>>> list(enumerate(seasons, start=1))
[(1, 'Spring'), (2, 'Summer'), (3, 'Fall'), (4, 'Winter')]
```  Equivalent to...

[river plank]

oh

[slate swan]

For example

!e ```py
values = [10, 30, True, "something"]

for i, item in enumerate(values, start=1):
print(i, item)

[unkempt canyon]

@slate swan :white_check_mark: Your 3.11 eval job has completed with return code 0.

001 | 1 10
002 | 2 30
003 | 3 True
004 | 4 something

[river plank]

ooo

but like how would you use this in description

you cant use for loops in f'{}'

or atleast from what i tried

[naive briar]

!e

print(f"{[i**10 for i in range(10)]}")

[unkempt canyon]

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

[0, 1, 1024, 59049, 1048576, 9765625, 60466176, 282475249, 1073741824, 3486784401]

[slate swan]

well you kinda can but if you dont know how you can still do something Like this :

desc = ""

for item in something:
    desc += item

!listcomp

[unkempt canyon]

List comprehensions

Do you ever find yourself writing something like this?

>>> squares = []
>>> for n in range(5):
...    squares.append(n ** 2)
[0, 1, 4, 9, 16]

Using list comprehensions can make this both shorter and more readable. As a list comprehension, the same code would look like this:

>>> [n ** 2 for n in range(5)]
[0, 1, 4, 9, 16]

List comprehensions also get an if clause:

>>> [n ** 2 for n in range(5) if n % 2 == 0]
[0, 4, 16]

For more info, see this pythonforbeginners.com post.

[slate swan]

When uses with

!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.

[slate swan]

You can do description for loop in your code

[karmic nimbus]

how do i change my bot status to playing?

[vocal snow]

!d discord.Client.change_presence

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Client.change\_presence

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

Changes the client’s presence.

[woeful magnet]

Can anybody tell me how to check if message.author is server owner?

[languid lark]

hey guys, does anyone know how to make them commands with the multiple options

not the dropdown menus

like this^^

[slate swan]

it's a slash command option and it depends on what library you use

[naive briar]

Autocomplete also

[frosty parrot]

can anyone help me ?

[slate swan]

Ask a question not if there is someone who can help

[frosty parrot]

[woeful magnet]

I wanna send message through bot to other users and message I sent must be displayed in DMs between bot and other users. what can I do for that?

[slate swan]

The application did not respond could be caused by bot not responding in 3 sefonds

If your bot takes more than 3 seconds to respond you can usw

[frosty parrot]

but I'm using defer

        thinking=True,
        ephemeral=True
        )```

[naive briar]

Do you know how to use it through?

You still need to respond to it

!d discord.Interaction.followup

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Interaction.followup

[frosty parrot]

ok

same

[woeful magnet]

can you explain in more detail. I couldn't find proper answer in that link.

[slate swan]

You need to get user you want to message

And use .send on it

With message you want to send

[drifting arrow]

How do I limit a slash command to 1 guild?

[naive briar]

Sync it to only 1 guild

[drifting arrow]

oh

Is this done on load?

[slate swan]

umm is it possible to be friends with your own bot?

like i wanted to add it to a group dm to show someone something.

but it doesn't let me add them by default

not possible

ah

bots can only be added to Guilds

[unkempt mauve]

What does discord.Interaction.user.status do?

[golden portal]

!d discord.Member.status

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.status

property status```
The member’s overall status. If the value is unknown, then it will be a [`str`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#str "(in Python v3.11)") instead.

[unkempt mauve]

it shows offline

[golden portal]

value of discord.Status.offline sure

[unkempt mauve]

I am dnd

[golden portal]

either that user is invisible, offline, or you just dont have presence intents to see it

[unkempt mauve]

not off

[unkempt mauve]

what intents I have to enable?

[golden portal]

presences

its privilege

!d discord.Intents.presences

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Intents.presences

Whether guild presence related events are enabled.

This corresponds to the following events:

• on_presence_update()

This also corresponds to the following attributes and classes in terms of cache...

[unkempt mauve]

and about the banner of the user?

[golden portal]

banner iirc require you to fetch the user

!d discord.Client.fetch_user

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Client.fetch\_user

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

Retrieves a [`User`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.User "discord.User") based on their ID. You do not have to share any guilds with the user to get this information, however many operations do require that you do.

Note

This method is an API call. If you have [`discord.Intents.members`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Intents.members "discord.Intents.members") and member cache enabled, consider [`get_user()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Client.get_user "discord.Client.get_user") instead.

[drifting arrow]

@naive briar Hey me again. U available?

Either way I'll ask my question and anybody can answer 🙂

so I have a series of slash commands, I want to make some of them available everywhere my bot is and some only usable by me in my discordserver.
How would I do that? do I need a specific decorator?

[woeful magnet]

hello why do I have this kind of error?
if message.author.id == message.guild.owner_id:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'owner_id'

[slate swan]

is django good?

[drifting arrow]

Is aight

[slate swan]

the invocation context is a dm channel, which doesnt have a .guild

Why is discord py's ui soo bad?

Like it cant differentiate two members.

[drifting arrow]

?

What do you mean?

[slate swan]

Ill explain

[drifting arrow]

Share some code examples perhaps?

[rugged shadow]

dpy doesn't handle ui

[slate swan]

It does.

...

[drifting arrow]

Do you mean with buttons and interactions and stuff?

[slate swan]

yes

[drifting arrow]

In the class, add a discord_user_id variable.
When you need to call the class, you set the discord_user_id to the user who called the button and do a simple if interaction.user.id == discord_user_id

[slate swan]

Alr so here's the overview of what i did:

When a member joins, a private channel is made for them. Inside that private channel, there is a embed message with buttons.
So here's where it fails .. When two members interacts with the buttons, one of them will get a response while the other gets nothing. I even made a custom event just to goddamn get this right but nope, it failed.

[naive briar]

Show the code

oh is self.stop() the issue?

[drifting arrow]

no

If you only want to limit it to the specific user

[slate swan]

oops i forgot something

[naive briar]

Probably

You're stopping discord.py from listening to the view

So it's not handling any interaction from that view after that

[slate swan]

Yeah, once the member interacts with it.

[drifting arrow]

Try this:

import discord
from discord.ext import commands
from discord.utils import get
from discord import app_commands


class TEST(commands.Cog):
    def __init__(self, client):
        print("[Cog] TEST has been initiated")
        self.client = client

    @app_commands.command(name="test")
    @app_commands.guild_only()
    async def test(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):
        mybuttons = Buttons()
        mybuttons.discord_user_id = interaction.user.id
        await interaction.response.send_message("Click!", view=mybuttons)


class Buttons(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        self.discord_user_id = 0

    # Possible Bug: Seems like this is used nowhere
    # noinspection PyUnusedLocal
    @discord.ui.button(label="Accept", style=discord.ButtonStyle.green)
    async def Accept(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, button: discord.ui.Button):
        if self.discord_user_id == interaction.user.id:
            await interaction.response.send_message("Pressed button", ephemeral=True)


async def setup(client):
    await client.add_cog(TEST(client))

``` I havent tested but I assume it works.

[slate swan]

[thin trout]

how can i create a permission for a command that works with a specific role?

[slate swan]

!d discord.ext.commands.has_role

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.has\_role

@discord.ext.commands.has_role(item)```
A [`check()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.check "discord.ext.commands.check") that is added that checks if the member invoking the command has the role specified via the name or ID specified.

If a string is specified, you must give the exact name of the role, including caps and spelling.

If an integer is specified, you must give the exact snowflake ID of the role.

If the message is invoked in a private message context then the check will return `False`.

This check raises one of two special exceptions, [`MissingRole`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.MissingRole "discord.ext.commands.MissingRole") if the user is missing a role, or [`NoPrivateMessage`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.NoPrivateMessage "discord.ext.commands.NoPrivateMessage") if it is used in a private message. Both inherit from [`CheckFailure`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.CheckFailure "discord.ext.commands.CheckFailure").

Changed in version 1.1: Raise [`MissingRole`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.MissingRole "discord.ext.commands.MissingRole") or [`NoPrivateMessage`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.NoPrivateMessage "discord.ext.commands.NoPrivateMessage") instead of generic [`CheckFailure`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.CheckFailure "discord.ext.commands.CheckFailure")...

[slate swan]

i am newbie bro so i dont know much

[drifting arrow]

How many discord servers can my discordbot be in before I have to convert all my text commands to slash commands?

[unkempt mauve]

I am trying to make a message cmd that will sync my slash cmds. but when I type the cmd, it doesnt responds. nor it does sync. I do have intents.message_content = True. there's a another message cmd in the on_message and it responds but the syncing one inside the same on_message event does nothing

[slate swan]

as long as you have message content intents

which you are need to get verified for after 100 servers ( you can apply after 76 servers )

[drifting arrow]

Neato

[unkempt mauve]

from discord.ext import commands

class SyncingCog(commands.Cog):
  def __init__(self, bot: commands.Bot):
    self.bot = bot

  @commands.Cog.listener()
  async def on_ready(self):
    print('Command sync loaded!')
  @commands.command()
  async def sync(ctx, self) -> None:
    if ctx.author.id == 696623699666665532:
      fmt = await self.bot.tree.sync()
      await ctx.send(f'Synced {len(fmt)} commands')
      print('Command successful')
    else:
      return

async def setup(bot):
  await bot.add_cog(SyncingCog(bot))```
whats wrong with this? the issue is its not responding anything

[slate swan]

you need to add this extenstion (Cog) in your main bot file

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.load_extension

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.load\_extension

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

Loads an extension.

An extension is a python module that contains commands, cogs, or listeners.

An extension must have a global function, `setup` defined as the entry point on what to do when the extension is loaded. This entry point must have a single argument, the `bot`.

Changed in version 2.0: This method is now a [coroutine](https://docs.python.org/3/glossary.html#term-coroutine "(in Python v3.11)").

[unkempt mauve]

async def main():
  for filename in os.listdir('./commands'):
      if filename.endswith('.py'):
        await bot.load_extension(f'commands.{filename[:-3]}')
  await bot.start('token')
discord.utils.setup_logging()
keep_alive()
asyncio.run(main())```

I did it already

its only adding the slash cmds

[slate swan]

also

self must be first argument

then context and rest

[unkempt mauve]

no response from the bot

[slate swan]

did you switch the parameters places? so self is first

[unkempt mauve]

I did

[slate swan]

@commands.command()
  async def sync(ctx, self) -> None:
``` in this line

[unkempt mauve]

I did

[slate swan]

does command sync loaded print?

[unkempt mauve]

yes it did

[slate swan]

all i can see is that if condition is invalid

and in else you return

so nothing is done

[unkempt mauve]

from discord.ext import commands

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

  @commands.Cog.listener()
  async def on_ready(self):
    print('Command sync loaded!')
  @commands.command()
  async def sync(self, ctx) -> None:
    if ctx.author.id == 696623699666665532:
      fmt = await self.bot.tree.sync()
      await ctx.send(f'Synced {len(fmt)} commands')
      print('Command successful')
    else:
      await ctx.send('You are not my developer, smh.')

async def setup(bot):
  await bot.add_cog(SyncingCog(bot))``` updated code

but no problems solved

[quick gust]

message content intent?

[unkempt mauve]

its true

[naive briar]

Did you load the extension

[unkempt mauve]

yes, it even printed

[slate swan]

does something more print now?

[naive briar]

Send the code for that

[unkempt mauve]

import discord
import asyncio
import json
import random
from discord.ext import commands
import os
from keep_alive import keep_alive
intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.members = True
intents.message_content = True
intents.presences = True
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='$', intents=intents)```

[naive briar]

Huh

[slate swan]

if you enable all you can just use Intents.all() btw

[naive briar]

Do you have a on_message event

[unkempt mauve]

yes

[slate swan]

you need to process commands inside

[unkempt mauve]

@bot.event
async def on_message(message):
    if message.channel.id == 1078724782016712805:
        if message.author == bot.user:
            return
        if message.content.startswith(''):
            async with message.channel.typing():
                await asyncio.sleep(2)
                response = random.choice(data)['response']
                await message.reply(response, mention_author=False)
    else:
        return

[naive briar]

Did you call process_commands in it

[unkempt mauve]

this is inside the on_message

[naive briar]

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

[unkempt mauve]

ok

bot has no response

bruh I dont want to keep sync on on_ready

[naive briar]

Did you even read something in the link

You can just use @bot.listen() instead of @bot.event and the command is working again

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.listen

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.listen

@listen(name=None)```
A decorator that registers another function as an external event listener. Basically this allows you to listen to multiple events from different places e.g. such as [`on_ready()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.on_ready "discord.on_ready")

The functions being listened to must be a [coroutine](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine "(in Python v3.11)").

Example...

[unkempt mauve]

bot responding

fr

hey is it possible to load cmds without restarting the bot?

[cloud dawn]

Yes.

[unkempt mauve]

how?

like I want to make a reload command that reloads all the cmds

so that I can sync

[cloud dawn]

Well you'd need a stable base that doesn't require much maintenance then make cogs/groups and load them dynamically. Have the extensions reload using the build-in reload function and re-sync with dev guild. If the bot is public make a separate command/task for updating it globally.

You can re-sync the bot 1000 times a day before you get rate-limited and global syncs are much more struct depending on how many commands you have but they generally cap at 1/2 times a day with an added wait time of up to an hour.

So ideally you want to do this with git and have a main/ feature branch and do it automatically.

[unkempt mauve]

I already made it

while u were typing lol @cloud dawn

one question, isnt load and reload same?

[naive briar]

No

[drifting arrow]

🤔

[unkempt mauve]

about updating cmds, can I use load instead of reload?

[naive briar]

!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.

[unkempt mauve]

bruh

[naive briar]

You will end up with 2 loaded extension

Just use reload

[unkempt mauve]

I made load, unload, reload cmds already. I am thinking to push off reload cmd

[naive briar]

What's the problem

[unkempt mauve]

reload can load and unload?

woah

seems awesome! now I dont need to make 2 commands

[quick gust]

wont it raise ExtensionAlreadyLoaded?

[naive briar]

🤷

Probably, I never load anything twice

[unkempt mauve]

Facing this error: https://paste.pythondiscord.com/utovewames

while executing the reload cmd

[naive briar]

Read the error

You need to load it first before trying to reload it

you said reload will come with two ext

i mean tf is that

Pov : that guy left the chat

🗿

[vale wing]

Yeah sorry about that was just demonstrating how you can print stuff without print and a bit of overenjoyed

[river plank]

so anyway to make this short?

[velvet compass]

Is there a reason to make it shorter instead of keeping it readable?

[river plank]

well uh

i tried making it so

i could use it in a description of a bot

cause f'{}' doesnt support normal for x in etccc

just wanted to make a smile inventory system work in a embed 😭

[vale wing]

I kinda don't get what the output string should look like

[river plank]

well

something like:
1 H
2 H
3 H
or atleast tht's what i wanna do in the description of the embed

[vale wing]

M that's like

desc = "\n".join(f"{i} {item[0]}" for i, item[0] in enumerate(items, start=1))```

This is pretty much readable also

[river plank]

😭

thanks

[gilded cedar]

i'm trying to make a command based on account age (example 14 day or lower the bot say no and 14 day or higher should say yes) can y'all send me code template?

[unkempt canyon]

discord.User.created\_at

property created_at```
Returns the user’s creation time in UTC.

This is when the user’s Discord account was created.

How do u disable a button in discord py?

For a specific user/role *

you cant disable a button for a group of users so they cant click it, you only can disable a button globally or enable globally although you can check in code if user that clicked a button has permissions to click it

[bitter sonnet]

PS C:\VSC - Coding> & C:/Python310/python.exe "c:/VSC - Coding/Izu-Discord/main.py"
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "c:\VSC - Coding\Izu-Discord\main.py", line 3, in <module>
from discord_slash import SlashCommand, SlashContext
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'discord_slash'

But I installed discord_slash commands...

[vale wing]

This is outdated library, use latest discord.py or its fork like disnake

[bitter sonnet]

better?

[vale wing]

I strongly recommend to use virtual environment as well

!venv

[unkempt canyon]

Virtual environments

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

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

Then, to activate the new virtual environment:

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

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

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

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

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

Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser

[vale wing]

Btw to remove that invalid distribution warning check your site-packages directory and remove all folders with incomplete names like -ip ~whatever etc.

[smoky sinew]

hello

[smoky sinew]

did you mean websocket.connect?

also, you shouldn't use replit for discord bots

and i'm pretty sure replit uses poetry not pip

[slate swan]

can u help me fix

[smoky sinew]

did you mean websocket.connect

i already asked that

also, are you just copy pasting code from somewhere else

[grand warren]

Hi! I want to get into making discord bots. I've been using auto code for a bit and then I got an old sad computer I can run it on, any suggestions for where to start?

[pulsar bridge]

Any way of using Application Commands with COGs through discord.Client?
Or do I have to use hybrid commands?

[languid oxide]

hey all

can anyone share a good video on bot hosting and "writing" on a database?

[slate swan]

!intents

[unkempt canyon]

Using intents in discord.py

Intents are a feature of Discord that tells the gateway exactly which events to send your bot. 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.

[smoky sinew]

install linux on the computer and use systemd to add your bot as a service

hosting on windows is fine but it's not as reliable, unless you use something like windows server

[velvet compass]

We will not assist with an account generator @graceful ermine

[graceful ermine]

Can someone could help me?

I'm trying to make it where after a user changes their status it logs it as a print message

@bot.event
async def on_member_update(before, after):
    if not isinstance(after.activity, discord.CustomActivity):
        return

    if "vvvc" in before.activity.name.lower() and "vvvc" not in after.activity.name.lower():
        duration_hours = calculate_duration_hours(before.activity.created_at)
        log_message = f"{after.display_name} took off 'vvvc' after wearing it for {duration_hours} hours."
        print(log_message)  

def calculate_duration_hours(start_time):
    utc = pytz.utc
    duration_seconds = (datetime.datetime.now(utc) - start_time).total_seconds()
    duration_hours = duration_seconds / 3600
    return round(duration_hours, 2) ```

[graceful ermine]

Na for some reason it sent it as a discord invite

[smoky sinew]

bruh

[smoky sinew]

you're in the server tho

[graceful ermine]

huh?

[slate swan]

Who wants to make a replit python discord bot with me?

[smoky sinew]

don't use replit for bots

there's a guide on the python discord website explaining why

[slate swan]

So install python?

[smoky sinew]

yes

[slate swan]

nah

[smoky sinew]

💀

[slate swan]

replit is easyer

[smoky sinew]

not really

[slate swan]

iv been doing it for 1 year now i got use to it

Who wants to make a replit python discord bot with me?

[smoky sinew]

nobody

it's a bad idea

[slate swan]

Then stop replying

[smoky sinew]

anyone think a wakatime command would be fun

[silk yacht]

what are the differences between all the discord api wrappers?

I've used pycord since discord.py stopped being developed

but it seems discord.py is now back in development, is it better than pycord?

[smoky sinew]

in my personal opinion yes

but there are more beyond just discord.py forks

[silk yacht]

yeah

[smoky sinew]

(hikari)

[silk yacht]

so many options lol

[smoky sinew]

the main ones are discord.py, hikari, pycord, nextcord, and disnake

[slate swan]

Who wants to teach me how to make my first python bot

[smoky sinew]

do you know python

discord.py is not very beginner friendly

[slate swan]

Nope i dont

wanna help me with basics tho? im tryna learn

[smoky sinew]

i can help you with python but i'm not helping you with your bot seeing as it was against the discord terms of service

[slate swan]

Bet

@smoky sinew Can you call?

[smoky sinew]

no

maybe later

[woeful magnet]

Hello. can anybody teach me code to make my bot access my DMs with others for retrieving data?

[smoky sinew]

what kind of data

if it's some data that has been set by the user you should use a database

[woeful magnet]

When I receive dm from others, I want my bot in my server display that dm in my server.

[smoky sinew]

use an on_message event and check if the message is in a DM

[woeful magnet]

can you check my code if you are available now? I also used on_message event but it didn't catch dm from other users to me.

[graceful ermine]

How could I fix this??

@bot.event
async def on_presence_update(before, after):
    if not isinstance(after.activity, discord.CustomActivity):
        return

        custom_activities = [
            activity for activity in before.activities
            if isinstance(activity, discord.CustomActivity) and "x" in activity.name.lower()
        ]
        if len(custom_activities) > 0:
            custom_activity = custom_activities[0]

    duration = datetime.datetime.now(pytz.utc) - start_time
    return duration

def format_duration(duration):
    total_seconds = duration.total_seconds()
    if total_seconds < 60:
        return f"{int(total_seconds)} seconds"
    elif total_seconds < 3600:
        total_minutes = total_seconds / 60
        return f"{int(total_minutes)} minutes"
    elif total_seconds < 86400:
        total_hours = total_seconds / 3600
        return f"{int(total_hours)} hours"
    else:
        total_days = total_seconds / 86400
        return f"{int(total_days)} days"```

[smoky sinew]

presence intent

[graceful ermine]

what about it?

[smoky sinew]

you don't receive any activity data if you don't enable it

[graceful ermine]

I have it on

@smoky sinew

[naive briar]

Did you turn it on in the code?

[graceful ermine]

Yes

[smoky sinew]

why are you using replit

[graceful ermine]

My vscode is down

when I debug stuff it gives me false errors

[graceful ermine]

Oh no I did not

[smoky sinew]

??

wdym

[gusty flax]

?

[gusty flax]

?

[austere vale]

its not possible for a bot to watch other people dmming you, but it can watch other people dmming the bot

[smoky sinew]

hi fawn

[woeful magnet]

not watching. just copy dm from log

[smoky sinew]

what do you mean by log?

do you mean retrieve the DM after it has been sent, or when it's sent?

how would that look like

[woeful magnet]

retrieve the DM after it has been sent

...

[smoky sinew]

what do you mean by dm log

though

[karmic nimbus]

I made my bot display member count on a server in game presence, but why the member count don't changed when a new member joins?

@client.event
async def on_ready():
	server = client.get_guild(guild_id)
	playing = discord.Game(f'With {server.member_count} members')
	await client.change_presence(status=discord.Status.idle, activity=playing)
	print('Presence ready')```

[shell wing]

You need to create a loop

The bot would show the member count that was when the bot started

to change the member count as a new user joins, you need to make a loop that checks if a new user has joined or any left after every 10mins or 5 mins

cause if you do it every 5s or so, it's gonna spam the API and get ratelimited

[shrewd fjord]

Anyone has the hex code for making embed color transparent?

[glad cradle]

transparent?

do you mean the same color as the discord dark mode?

[smoky sinew]

!d discord.Color.dark_embed

[unkempt canyon]

Not gonna happen.

No documentation found for the requested symbol.

[smoky sinew]

it’s a 2.2 feature

discord.Color.dark_embed @shrewd fjord

[shrewd fjord]

Oh didnt saw

Thanks anyway
#2f3136

I used this hex code 💀

[smoky sinew]

i dont think thats the same

[light violet]

how do i make a transcript of the chat

in html

[grave canopy]

which library do you suggest for making a telegram bot?

[smoky sinew]

python-telegram-bot

or something like that, i used it once

[karmic nimbus]

how?

[grave canopy]

thanks

[shrewd fjord]

But works tho 💀

[shell wing]

async def on_ready():
    print('whatever you want') #normal print statement 
    client.loop.create_task(status_task())
    

async def status_task():
    while True:
        server = client.get_guild(guild_id)
        await bot.change_presence(
            activity=discord.Activity(
                type=discord.ActivityType.watching,
                name=f'{server.member_count} members'),
            status=discord.Status.online)
        await asyncio.sleep(5) #time in seconds

smh like this

[naive briar]

!d discord.ext.tasks.loop

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.tasks.loop

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

[smoky sinew]

dark embed or dark message

[naive briar]

You shouldn't be changing your presence every 5 seconds btw

[karmic nimbus]

ok tysm

[shell wing]

change it in mins like and not less than 10min just do be safe

[clear elm]

@bot.tree.command(name="add", description="Adds a user to the ticket.")
async def add(interaction, member:discord.Member):
  if not interaction.channel.name.startswith('ticket-'):
    await interaction.response.send_message('This is not a ticket channel.', ephemeral=True)
    return
    await interaction.channel.set_permission(interaction.member, view_channel=True, send_messages=True, read_messages=True)
    await interaction.response.send_message(f"{interaction.member.mention} has been added from the ticket.", ephemeral=True)```
no errors, should this work becuase it's currently not?

[naive briar]

What does it even supposed to do
