!d discord.Role

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Role

class discord.Role```
Represents a Discord role in a [`Guild`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Guild "discord.Guild")...

[keen talon]

Use this as a type hint

[hexed dagger]

I don't understand

Apprentky it's not able to find role

At remove role but the role name is valid

[keen talon]

wait a min lemme turn on my laptop

[hexed dagger]

Okay

[shrewd fjord]

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

This is what he meant

[keen talon]

What lib are you using

[shrewd fjord]

Whatever you pass on role args, it will be converted to Role object

[hexed dagger]

1.7

[naive briar]

What

[keen talon]

You could try disnake instead

[keen talon]

Lmao

[shrewd fjord]

Upgrade it

[hexed dagger]

Oh

I read the wrong thing

[keen talon]

!pypi discord.py

[unkempt canyon]

discord.py v2.2.2

A Python wrapper for the Discord API

[hexed dagger]

I have 2.2

[keen talon]

Lib name

[hexed dagger]

It says 1.7 in my toml file

But it yodates to 2.2

[hexed dagger]

2.2.0

[keen talon]

Damn it

Lib name not version

[naive briar]

Names and versions are different

[hexed dagger]

How do I see name

Sorry I am new to discord.py

[keen talon]

Oh lol

Discord.py is the lib name

[hexed dagger]

Oh

[smoky sinew]

is it pinned to 1.7

what does your toml file look like

[smoky sinew]

doesn't that mean you are using v1 instead of v2

update that to say ^2.2.2 @hexed dagger

and do poetry install

[hexed dagger]

Okay

Also I think I figured out where thr mistake is

It's not updating role_id1

To the correct arg1

That'd why it can't assign as role 0 is everyone

Oh I am fucking stupid

It's caused I break if one of them is found

Omfg kill me

It still doesn't work

It's not marching arg1 and role.name

Even though they are the same

[smoky sinew]

does the role have a space

@bot.command()
async def coins(ctx , user: discord.Member):
    embed = discord.Embed(title=user.name, description=":money_with_wings:", color=0x00ff00)
    
   
    await ctx.send(embed=embed)

hey how to do like if there is no argument then show ctx.author.name

discord.ext.commands.errors.MissingRequiredArgument: user is a required argument that is missing.

[austere prairie]

set a default argument like this ```py
async def coins(ctx, user: discord.Member | None = None):
if user is None:
user = ctx.author

[slate swan]

async def coins(ctx, user: discord.Member = commands.Author):
``` works too

[shrewd fjord]

!d discord.ext.commands.parameter

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.parameter

discord.ext.commands.parameter(\*, converter=..., default=..., description=..., displayed_default=...)```
A way to assign custom metadata for a [`Command`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Command "discord.ext.commands.Command")'s parameter.

New in version 2.0.

Examples

A custom default can be used to have late binding behaviour.

```py
@bot.command()
async def wave(ctx, to: discord.User = commands.parameter(default=lambda ctx: ctx.author)):
    await ctx.send(f'Hello {to.mention} :wave:')

[shrewd fjord]

This too works xd

[slate swan]

why would you redefine something that's already defined by the lib

[shrewd fjord]

Idk 🗿

[unkempt mauve]

Code: https://paste.pythondiscord.com/zufahuhuhe

Issue: it's not processing two of them. only processing the first one...

[naive briar]

What is that even supposed to do

Show the full code

[unkempt mauve]

it supposed to take a text from both of the variable..

and put both the text together

like this:

Text 1 = ABC
Text 2 = DEF

[iron turret]

Im trying to make a ticket bot for my server. I wrote code that uses a /launch command that sends an embed with a button. When the button is pressed a channel is created and it will mention you in that channel if you try and press the button again it will not create a channel, and it does work but not the way it is supposed to. it create 3 channels at once and it creates 3 more when you press the button again.

Ticket Button Code:

class ticket_launcher(discord.ui.View):
  def __init__(self) -> None:
      super().__init__(timeout = None)

  @discord.ui.button(label = "Create a ticket", style = discord.ButtonStyle.blurple, custom_id = "ticket_button")
  async def ticket(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, button: discord.ui.Button):
        ticket = utils.get(interaction.guild.text_channels, name = f"ticket-for-{interaction.user.name}-{interaction.user.discriminator}")
        if ticket is not None: await interaction.response.send_message(f"You already have a ticket open at {ticket.mention}!", ephemeral=True)
        else:
            overwrites = {
                interaction.guild.default_role: discord.PermissionOverwrite(view_channel = False),
                interaction.user: discord.PermissionOverwrite(view_channel = True, send_messages = True, attach_files = True, embed_links = True),
                interaction.guild.me: discord.PermissionOverwrite(view_channel = True, send_messages = True, read_message_history = True)
            }
            channel = await interaction.guild.create_text_channel(name = f"ticket-for={interaction.user.name}-{interaction.user.discriminator}", overwrites=overwrites, reason = f"Ticket for {interaction.user}")
            await channel.send(f"{interaction.user.mention} created a ticket!")
            await interaction.response.send_message(f"Ive opened a ticket for you at {channel.mention}!", ephemeral=True)

Launch Command:

@tree.command(guild = discord.Object(id=no), name = 'launch', description='Launches the ticketing system')
async def launch(interaction: discord.Interaction):
    embed = discord.Embed(title = "If you need support, click the button below and create a ticket!", color = discord.Color.red())
    await interaction.channel.send(embed = embed, view = ticket_launcher())
    await interaction.response.send_message("Ticketing system launched!", ephemeral=True)

[shrewd fjord]

I dont see any problem right there 🗿

[unkempt mauve]

see my problem instead

[naive briar]

Send the full code

[sinful thistle]

!pypi disnake

[unkempt canyon]

disnake v2.8.1

A Python wrapper for the Discord API

[sinful thistle]

what is the difference?

please dm me for help

[naive briar]

Difference of what

[sinful thistle]

discord.py and disnake.py

[iron turret]

ik thats why im trying to figure out why its not working 😭

like its working but not how its suppsoed to

i can send a recording of what it does

[naive briar]

You probably have my instances of the bot running

[iron turret]

??

[naive briar]

Or multiple on_message listeners calling process commands

[vocal snow]

disnake is a fork of discord.py and they have different maintainers

their implementations of interactions and some other things are different

[sinful thistle]

is the syntax the same

[vocal snow]

both are python packages and hence will follow python syntax

[sinful thistle]

coz ima got a big bot i am lloking to migrate it for more slash commands

[sinful thistle]

I mean do just have to do

import disnake as discord

[slate swan]

dont

[slate swan]

no

they both are 2 different libraries

[vocal snow]

if you already have discord.py code you might as well continue using discord.py

it also supports slash commands

if that's what your requirement is

https://gist.github.com/Ash-02014/b6f57065f394b54f43666037ade38d32
https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/examples/app_commands/basic.py

[sinful thistle]

i need normal and slash in same code

[vocal snow]

sure

[sinful thistle]

but i dont thing it will work with discord.py

[vocal snow]

why?

[sinful thistle]

idk it just doesnt work

[vocal snow]

doesn't work how?

are you getting an error?

it's best you always post your code and error if something isn't working

!paste

[unkempt canyon]

Pasting large amounts of code

If your code is too long to fit in a codeblock in Discord, you can paste your code here:
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/

After pasting your code, save it by clicking the floppy disk icon in the top right, or by typing ctrl + S. After doing that, the URL should change. Copy the URL and post it here so others can see it.

[sinful thistle]

no it just doesnt know what to send

Actually I and my friend are working on a bot and he thinks he needs both types of command in one file and he asked his senior he said to use disnake

[vocal snow]

I mean if you already have discord.py code why would you move to disnake and waste time doing so much refactoring

[slate swan]

in d.py there is something like hybrid command i belive

[vocal snow]

^^ yep

[sinful thistle]

he needs both / and normal commands in one bot

[slate swan]

i might be wrong tho i dont use d.py daily

[vocal snow]

ok so I don't get what the issue is

what are you expecting from us exactly

it's absolutely possible to have slash commands and normal text commands with discord.py

you can use the hybrid command interface as suggested above, or make separate callbacks for both

[sinful thistle]

how can you give me example

[vocal snow]

https://gist.github.com/Ash-02014/b6f57065f394b54f43666037ade38d32#hybrid-commands

[sinful thistle]

i am checking

k thx

[round jewel]

what actually is the point of cogs because it just seems like a more complicated way of commands

[slate swan]

you can spread commands, events and loops into different files so its more organized

[round jewel]

ok so its not like an essential thing but its better for cleaner code?

[slate swan]

yeah i would say

[proper plume]

Hello everyone, yesterday I spoke with a guy about embed constructors without cogs, and he said cogs is a great way to organize the bot. Can please anyone tell me about cogs?

[vocal snow]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/cogs.html

they are often used with another feature called extensions (https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/extensions.html)

in essence, a Cog is a subclass of discord.ext.commands.Cog that can be hot loaded

you can define commands and event handlers inside it, and hence use it to categorize your bot's features

[unkempt mauve]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/qufawuxera

Issue: the bot is supposed to return values of the two variables (verses_list, verses_list1) but not returning the other variable's value (in the for loop inside the chapter function), rather, it is returning the first variable's value into the other variable's value place.

[mighty pilot]

hey guys, this is part of my code for a giveaway bot that was working before but now it is not. its saying member is not defined here and im not sure what to define it as to get it working properly again. if i remember correctly the purpose was to see if the user is a part of the guild. so they have a user and a member account
userlist2 = [user async for user in newmsg.reactions[0].users() if isinstance(user, Member) and any(role.id in roleids for role in user.roles)]

[runic whale]

Hi all - working on getting my bot command to spit out a random row from a MySQL database. Everything works on the backend, however, not seemingly getting the bot to communicate properly (no results returned). Have made great strides thanks to the helpful folks in this channel, but reached another impasse! When I replace the query variable with the string 'test,' it works no problem. Any suggestions on how to modify my code to achieve this would be most appreciated! Thanks in advance!

bot = interactions.Client(token=TOKEN)

loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()

@bot.command(
    name="2kplayer",
    description="Work in progress",
    scope=GUILD_ID,
)
async def my_first_command(ctx: interactions.CommandContext):
    conn = await aiomysql.connect(
        host='127.0.0.1',
        user='root',
        password='root',       
        db='dominion_data',
        loop = loop
    )
    cur = await conn.cursor()
    await cur.execute('SELECT first_name, last_name, team_name FROM players_2k22 AS t1 JOIN (SELECT player_id as player_id_t2 FROM players_2k22 ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 1) as t2 ON t1.player_id=t2.player_id_t2 LIMIT 1;')
    query = await cur.fetchone()
    # df = pd.read_sql(query, engine)
    await ctx.send(query)    
    await cur.close()
    conn.close()

bot.start();

[shrewd fjord]

Did u try Cursor.fetchall()?

[runic whale]

let me give it a shot, thanks a ton for the reply

[shrewd fjord]

Also make sure to not forget to commit the database on the backend part, most people forget it

[runic whale]

oh don't i know it hahaha i work with data warehouse for my job, nightmares

[shrewd fjord]

xd

[runic whale]

thanks for your time, will take a look at integrating this 🙂

[shrewd fjord]

Okay

Actually fetchone should have atleast return 1 record

Maybe it's the problem with executing query

[runic whale]

yeah, i believe i tried fetchall, but want to try again to be sure

to be clear, everything works on the sql side and when i eliminate the bot from the equation it runs ok in python, meaning the row gets returned in the output randomly every time i execute

[shrewd fjord]

Also I dont think ; this matters anyway

Except for a sql file and u should quote the query with ""

[runic whale]

essentially trying to refresh the query when the command triggers

yeah ; is my sql habit haha

[shrewd fjord]

Ohk

Also for more db help make sure to go on #databases and for a long and detailed help go create a forum on #1035199133436354600 👀

[runic whale]

thanks! i do participate in the databases channel and was told to come here haha, essentially the database side seems fine, just working on converting data types atm and don't want to flood channels, and the help channel forum posts i post don't seem to get traction 😦

was encouraged to post questions here, is that cool still? has been a very helpful channel here

[shrewd fjord]

Yeah but actually experts more replies on the forum channel, so just make a channel there, you will get fast and useful reply

Or answer 🗿

[runic whale]

perfect i'll make sure to get a post going there as well, and will still participate here, thanks for the guidance 🙂

How do you start it?

[slate swan]

the giveaway?

https://paste.nextcord.dev/?id=1679156920412464

[shrewd fjord]

The loop

[slate swan]

@commands.Cog.listener()

await self.bot.wait_until_ready()
await asyncio.sleep(2)
print("Database Staus: Online")
self.giveawayCheck.start()
print("Giveaway Loop: Online")

[shrewd fjord]

I see

Hm..

Maybe it's taking time to return the data and again looping?

Can you add
print("started") on the top of loop
And print("ended") bottom of the loop?

[slate swan]

yes

[shrewd fjord]

Try and check on the hosting

[slate swan]

just printing started and not ended

[shrewd fjord]

So it's actually internal problem i assume in your loop

Maybe it's bot able to fetch datas from database thus blocking it

[slate swan]

its weird

[shrewd fjord]

Maybe json.load doing weird stuff lol

[shrewd fjord]

OH WAIT

You have error handler bru

[slate swan]

yep

[shrewd fjord]

Try doing
except Exception as e:
print(e)

Check the error

[slate swan]

okay

[fast musk]

or fix your error handler which is probably the most important thing to do

[shrewd fjord]

Yep

[queen venture]

idk whats the error

[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.

[queen venture]

i got them already

[slate swan]

first of all i dont see any intents there and second thing we cant help on projects that may break law

hi guys

i bought a vps and hosted my bot on it

and i want to know how to host it h24/7

could you help me ?

@cedar smelt can u help with sql ?

[slate swan]

if your host have linux you can use nohup command to run it in the background like this: nohup python my_file.py > output.txt &

https://janakiev.com/blog/python-background/

can also read this tutorial

[slate swan]

with it, the script will be executed h24 with my computer off ?

the vps must be on

not your pc

[slate swan]

yeah it's on :D

let's try

[slate swan]

what do i have to put here ?

you can change name of the output file

rest leave it as it is

& means it runs in the background

okay

and > means to save all output to the file after

in this case named output.txt

oh

@slate swan uh ?

[slate swan]

try without python

or instead of python try py, py3, python3

[naive briar]

Great

[slate swan]

ok

huh ?

[lyric iris]

[lyric iris]

@slate swan can u help?

[slate swan]

if i knew how i would

[smoky sinew]

yes

[lyric iris]

i made one already

[slate swan]

when this command is there in the code, whenever i use a command, the bot does not reply or respond. but whenever i remove this code, it works. what might be the issue?

@bot.event
async def on_message(message):
    if message.author.bot:
        return  # ignore messages from bots

    channel = message.channel
    channel_id = str(channel.id)

    mycursor = db.cursor(buffered=True)

    # check if the channel has the channel_type as "roleplay"
    mycursor.execute("SELECT channel_type FROM channel WHERE channel_id = %s", (channel_id,))
    result = mycursor.fetchone()
    if not result or result[0] != "roleplay":
        return  # ignore non-roleplay channels

    # check if the user has an ID in the users table
    user_id = str(message.author.id)
    mycursor.execute("SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = %s", (user_id,))
    result = mycursor.fetchone()
    if not result:
        await channel.send("It is preferable that you use the -createid command before proceeding with the roleplay.")
        return

    # check if the user is on cooldown
    if bot.user_cooldown.has_cooldown(user_id):
        return

    # calculate the payment amount based on the message length and characters used
    message_content = message.content
    payment = 10
    if len(message_content) > 20:
        payment += 5 * ((len(message_content) - 20) // 10)
    if '"' in message_content:
        payment += 10
    if '*' in message_content:
        payment += 20

    # update the user's amount and apply the cooldown
    mycursor.execute("UPDATE users SET amount = amount + %s WHERE id = %s", (payment, user_id))
    db.commit()
    bot.user_cooldown.update(user_id)

    # process regular commands
    await bot.process_commands(message)```

there are no errors either

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

[naive briar]

There are no commands in this thing

Not in my definition anyway

[slate swan]

but await bot.process_commands(message) is already there at the end

[smoky sinew]

do you have any other on_messages

[slate swan]

nope, this is the one and only

test

[slate swan]

i changed it into a listener but still, to no avail:

@bot.listen('on_message')
async def roleplay_money(message):
    if message.author.bot:
        return  # ignore messages from bots

    channel = message.channel
    channel_id = str(channel.id)

    mycursor = db.cursor(buffered=True)

    # check if the channel has the channel_type as "roleplay"
    mycursor.execute("SELECT channel_type FROM channel WHERE channel_id = %s", (channel_id,))
    result = mycursor.fetchone()
    if not result or result[0] != "roleplay":
        return  # ignore non-roleplay channels

    # check if the user has an ID in the users table
    user_id = str(message.author.id)
    mycursor.execute("SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = %s", (user_id,))
    result = mycursor.fetchone()
    if not result:
        await channel.send("It is preferable that you use the -createid command before proceeding with the roleplay.")
        return

    # check if the user is on cooldown
    if bot.user_cooldown.has_cooldown(user_id):
        return

    # calculate the payment amount based on the message length and characters used
    message_content = message.content
    payment = 10
    if len(message_content) > 20:
        payment += 5 * ((len(message_content) - 20) // 10)
    if '"' in message_content:
        payment += 10
    if '*' in message_content:
        payment += 20

    # update the user's amount and apply the cooldown
    mycursor.execute("UPDATE users SET amount = amount + %s WHERE id = %s", (payment, user_id))
    db.commit()
    bot.user_cooldown.update(user_id)```

i mean, hey at least this time the commands work

but this piece of code itself, eh does nothing

[quick nebula]

i just know to make a command you should do this

@Bot.command()
async def <command name>():
   await <some code>

[smoky sinew]

you don't have to await everything

only coroutines

[quick nebula]

i know

[smoky sinew]

it's also @Bot.command()

not @Bot.command

[quick nebula]

oh sorry i just forget that🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[slate swan]

no no im not making a command. i want the on_message listener to be there so that every time someone messages, values get added or removed from database.

i already found a fix but now the issue is that the main purpose of the command is not working at all

[quick nebula]

@bot.event
async def on_message(message):
    #some code

this code is for getting new message

[slate swan]

exactly what i did tho

You might run into performance issues down the line if you're making a database call for each message that gets sent

well, that's kind of true but i'm willing to make adjustments

[cloud dawn]

Not really.

The amount of messages that have to get send would be incredibly high.

[karmic nimbus]

how do I add who made the changes in on_member_update?
like edited by who

[slate swan]

how to custom colors with messages like that ?

test

[slate swan]

you cant

all you can is make text green or red adding + or - before and using diff formatting like this:

+ green
- red

okay thanks

[naive umbra]

you can do way more than just that

[naive umbra]

check out this message #discord-bots message

[slate swan]

show me

[slate swan]

hm good to know

bookmarked

@naive umbra i didn't really understand the message, could you just tell me how to make a message like that ?

test (in green) ・ test (in red)

[slate swan]

tried it and doesnt look like it works now

[naive umbra]

Test

works?

[slate swan]

\u001b[0;40m\u001b[1;32mThat's some cool formatted text right?
\u001b[1;40;32mThat's some cool formatted text right?

does not for me

[slate swan]

can you edit and screen ?

what did you input

[naive umbra]

The \u001b is the unicode for ESCAPE/ESC, see http://www.unicode-symbol.com/u/001B.html. If you want to use it yourself without bots, then you need to copy paste the character from the website.

[slate swan]

ah okay

[lone ivy]

Hello, i'm wanting to store my own data instead of relying on an API (for various reasons). The data I want to store will be pokemon related data (pokemon data, region data, gym leaders, team rocket, items, moves and their effects, etc). What would be a good way to store my own data, I've heard that dictionaries and nested dictionaries created with the use of making instances of classes (like class Pokemon, class Abilities, class Types, etc).

I am new*ish to python, so could use a little nudge in the right direction (yes i know this is not quite a beginner friendly project, but never the less I intend to keep at it)

[upbeat otter]

Storing the Pokemon data will be huge
You'll have to use an API

That's just more processing and more storage consumption

[lone ivy]

So how do i store data that i need stored that the API doesn't provide?

thank you, i appreciate it ❤️

[lone ivy]

from the little research i did, key word little so if you have any extra info to give that'd be great, but I need a multi processor and a lot of ram, well i have a multi core processor and i have 31 free GB of RAM, would that be enough just for the testing of my bot, once I plan on making the bot public, it will be converted to an actual hosting service

[left dew]

do bots need to be verified to do this?

[lone ivy]

i greatly appreciate the info

[cloud dawn]

No.

[left dew]

how are they made?

or what are they called

[cloud dawn]

How is what made?

Oh that

Using the scopes on the dev site.

[left dew]

oh

[smoky sinew]

you mean the invite link or the fact that it is in-app?

if you send it inside a discord server it will be in-app

[left dew]

yea do i need a domain for it

[smoky sinew]

oh u mean the "join servers for you" and "access username" part

[left dew]

yes

[smoky sinew]

you need these two scopes

and you don't need a domain but you will need some kind of http server

[upbeat otter]

Every single kb is precious 😳

[left dew]

just those?

[slate swan]

not a domain but a web address yeah

[smoky sinew]

the above ones handle this

[left dew]

oooh okay

so i know i have to host it w a local server or whatever but idk how to

https://yourdomainhere.com/discordauth

like that

[slate swan]

i need heeelp

I'm using python to run a discord bot and i got a damn error that says ModuleNotFoundError: No module named discord_components'
i try to download the module by pip i do the py -m pip install discord_components
but it gives this error and there is no module such as discord-components

ERROR: No matching distribution found for discord-components```

[slate swan]

dont use discord_components

use built in to discord.py components

[smoky sinew]

i don't think that library has been updated since 2021

[slate swan]

how can i do that do

i'm trying to run a py file and it says this

    from discord_components import *
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'discord_components'```

[smoky sinew]

don't bother with discord_components

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.ui.View

[slate swan]

you need to rewrite your code to use discord.ui classes

well

!d discord.ui.View

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ui.View

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

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

New in version 2.0.

Hey @slate swan!

You either uploaded a .txt file or entered a message that was too long. Please use our paste bin instead.

[slate swan]

aight ty for the help

[balmy bobcat]

hi, how can my bot send a message to another channel? I use slash commands

[slate swan]

you need to get channel object of channel you want to send message to

easiest way will be to use bot.get_channel(id)

[balmy bobcat]

then I use send_message?

[slate swan]

yes you assign it to a varriable

and send

channel = bot.get_channel(12345)
await channel.send("...")

[smoky sinew]

no

InteractionResponse.send_message only works in the current channel

[balmy bobcat]

okay, thank you !

[smoky sinew]

you would just use channel.send

[balmy bobcat]

thank you

[slate swan]

how to make dnd bot activity please ?

[smoky sinew]

await bot.change_presence(status = discord.Status.dnd)

[slate swan]

anyone know aioqlite?

Error binding parameter 3: type 'tuple' is not supported

                    await self.bot.db.commit()

            await error_message(ctx, "There was an **error** proccessing this command. Check your message and try again")```

[smoky sinew]

put an asterisk before the tuple

[slate swan]

thats what i did

[smoky sinew]

where is it in your code then

[slate swan]

ohh you said asterisk

i thought you meant something else

[slate swan]

it works but its not updating the db

@smoky sinew

[slate swan]

hey

i want to add footer to my embed please

await ctx.respond(embed = discord.Embed(title = "", description = f"", color = ))

@slate swan

[smoky sinew]

what is this library

.set_footer is a method that does not return anything so you will have to use this

embed = discord.Embed(...)
embed.set_footer(...)
await ctx.reply(embed=embed)

[slate swan]

a

[smoky sinew]

you could do this though

class CustomEmbed(discord.Embed):
    def set_footer(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super().set_footer(*args, **kwargs)
        return self

then you can use

await ctx.reply(embed=CustomEmbed(...).set_footer(...))

[slate swan]

and for author ?

[smoky sinew]

you can do the same thing

[rancid sparrow]

[smoky sinew]

why not just expression.isdigit() or any([operator in expression for operator in ("+", "-", "*", "/")])

of course there is probably an easier way

maybe use something like ast

[slate swan]

thanks i achieved my goal using re this was a new to me i would learn more about this lib.

[smoky sinew]

i guess that could work too

[slate swan]

however i did have to use eval() function which bothers me if someone tried to mess with the code

[smoky sinew]

yeah no definitely don't use eval

you can easily read anything like the token

[slate swan]

What do I do now? Is there something that calculates only maths expressions?

[keen talon]

Try safe eval

[slate swan]

Does literal_eval() makes the same risk ?

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

[slate swan]

so i would set up like this?

[smoky sinew]

no

remove the style=None part, that's just part of the function signature

[smoky sinew]

the style variable in this screenshot is set to R

where it says "2 days ago" etc

[slate swan]

so set it to style=R? its giving me an undefined error

[smoky sinew]

as a string

you can't just put a random letter in because python doesn't recognize it

[mint walrus]

How do I make the bot have like a custom rich presence like playing then blank blank

[smoky sinew]

rich presence? or just presence?

[mint walrus]

Which ever one that shows the example I gave

[smoky sinew]

!d discord.Game

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Game

class discord.Game(name, **extra)```
A slimmed down version of [`Activity`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Activity "discord.Activity") that represents a Discord game.

This is typically displayed via **Playing** on the official Discord client.

x == y Checks if two games are equal.

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

hash(x) Returns the game’s hash.

str(x) Returns the game’s name.

[smoky sinew]

await bot.change_presence(activity=discord.Game(...))

[mint walrus]

Dm me

[smoky sinew]

why

[slate swan]

is it possible to name commands with space in their name, im using pycord and it throws an error if i try to do so.

[smoky sinew]

that looks like a subcommand

shift is a subcommand of work

[slate swan]

oh ok im unaware of that concept

[slate swan]

Is their any problem with multiple discord bot instances so long as they respond to different stuff?

I need some functions to be very responsive so they are on a vps

but I also have some functions that involve re-encoding and upscaling video which needs to run on my home server because I can't afford a GPU compute datacenter server and it's already too slow with a 3060ti.

so long as I only use the commands rewrite for one instance it should be fine right?

and use on-message for the other

[drifting arrow]

How do I disable a button?

@discord.ui.button(label="Notes Previous", style=discord.ButtonStyle.red)
    async def notes_previous(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, button: discord.ui.Button):
        button.disabled = True
        if self.pagenumber == 0:
            self.pagenumber = len(self.notes) - 1
        else:
            self.pagenumber = self.pagenumber - 1
        embed = self.setembed(self.pagenumber)
        await interaction.response.edit_message(embed=embed, view=self)
``` This doesnt seem to work D:

I want to be able to disable it if there's no notes.

nvm figured it out ;D

[drifting arrow]

Is it possible to put buttons on new rows? 🤔

[glad cradle]

Do you mean like reorder buttons? or put buttons on new rows?

[naive briar]

Yes?

[drifting arrow]

Yes

so instead of:
[button1] [button2]
i have:
[button1]
[button2]

[drifting arrow]

Idk if response to me or not..

Basically I want to be able to have multiple rows for my buttons ;D

using discord.ui.view

[smoky sinew]

!d discord.ui.button

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ui.button

@discord.ui.button(*, label=None, custom_id=None, disabled=False, style=<ButtonStyle.secondary: 2>, emoji=None, row=None)```
A decorator that attaches a button to a component.

The function being decorated should have three parameters, `self` representing the [`discord.ui.View`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.ui.View "discord.ui.View"), the [`discord.Interaction`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.Interaction "discord.Interaction") you receive and the [`discord.ui.Button`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.ui.Button "discord.ui.Button") being pressed.

Note

Buttons with a URL cannot be created with this function. Consider creating a [`Button`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.ui.Button "discord.ui.Button") manually instead. This is because buttons with a URL do not have a callback associated with them since Discord does not do any processing with it.

[smoky sinew]

row parameter

@drifting arrow

[drifting arrow]

;o

Ty ty @smoky sinew

I set the row but it doesnt seem to do anything 😦

D: still all 1 row

[naive briar]

What did you set them to then

[drifting arrow]

Serverbans is row 2,
Notes is row 1
And profile is row 3

[smoky sinew]

it’s from 0 to 4

[drifting arrow]

Yes I am keeping them within the 5 row limit

but it doesnt work ;-;

[smoky sinew]

yes but they start at 0

why not set them in the decorator

[drifting arrow]

coz i am not smart

brb.

Much better

;D

[dusty tree]

any1 who could explain to me when you'll be eligble for active dev batch?

[naive briar]

Make a bot with slash command then use it

That's it

[slate swan]

You need to have a discord bot and a support server for it

Then fill a form for it and you get it

[dusty tree]

well I've got the bot but how do I register my server as a support server for it?

[slate swan]

When filling a form for the badge

You select the application and server

[dusty tree]

ko

[slate swan]

hi besties i am working on a command in which the main task is to ensure that people get access to channel or not. so like if parameter is None, then it gives or takes away access for everyone.

same thing for discord member and roles. but no matter how much i try this garbage doesn't work:

[unkempt canyon]

Hey @slate swan!

You either uploaded a .txt file or entered a message that was too long. Please use our paste bin instead.

[slate swan]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/qasaqicofi

[gusty flax]

Wdym it doesn't work.

if access is None, it doesn't remove those perms?

[slate swan]

It does but for a specific role. But when access is discord.Member or discord.Role, it returns invalid

[gusty flax]

Do you know if that code is actually running?

And do you know if the Member has read_messages

[uneven apex]

i have added certain members of my server in a private channel of my server
if i use py await channel.set_permissions(role, overwrite=overwrite)
new overwrite has removes access from that channel from that role
will this overwrite also affect the members i have added to the channel?
i am using dpy

[tough lance]

So, why is my discordbot doing this?
https://gyazo.com/585183865892ef4fd5be2a77795125ec

[gusty flax]

R u doing any setup in on_ready @drifting arrow

[drifting arrow]

Im doing some things in on_ready

Am I not suppose to @gusty flax ? 🤔

[gusty flax]

Ur allowed to. Just sometimes depending on wat u setup will mess it up.

[drifting arrow]

im sending some buttons to a channel 😄

[gusty flax]

In on_ready?

[drifting arrow]

well it's calling a function, but essentially yes.

[gusty flax]

I think thats fine

[shell wing]

Is easy-pil still used ?

[drifting arrow]

;-; then why is bot crash and send many messages? ;-;

[gusty flax]

I think ur blocking.

[drifting arrow]

lemme check if i forgot to async..

all async 🤔

[cinder tulip]

Uh, I am trying to make my discord bot play music from youtube-dl, but i get a long error that says that it's not able to extract the id or something so it asks me to run a "--verbose" command.
this is my code:

@client.command()
async def play(ctx, url):
    voice_channel = ctx.author.voice.channel
    try:
        await voice_channel.connect()
    except:
        pass
    with youtube_dl.YoutubeDL() as ydl:
        info = ydl.extract_info(url, download = False)
    URL = info['formats'][0]['url']
    voice_client = ctx.guild.voice_client
    if not voice_client.is_playing():
        voice_client.play(discord.FFmpegPCMAudio(url))

@client.command()
async def leave(ctx):
    voice_client = ctx.guild.voice_client
    if voice_client.is_connected():
        await voice_client.disconnect()

also the latest version of youtube-dl is "2021.12.17" soooo I can't really update it or anything.

[vocal snow]

[cinder tulip]

:(

[vale wing]

Last time I encountered someone trying to use it we found out it is not

[slate swan]

hello I cant install discord-components

[vale wing]

Use normal discord.py, it has support for components

[vale wing]

You aren't trying to run several bots at once are you

[drifting arrow]

uhh. why?

[vale wing]

Are you

[slate swan]

what you mean with normal discord.py can you give me exemple because I am new at doing bots

[drifting arrow]

I may have several discordbots

[vale wing]

Running from one script?

[drifting arrow]

no

[vale wing]

Yeah that's what I wanted

Okay I don't really see any blocking code but perhaps this isn't your only file

[vale wing]

You can find examples in discord.py repository https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py
If you need additional explanations, check out documentation https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/

[slate swan]

Is there anyway to make a bot join a vc with gateway and make it stream something particular

[vale wing]

Stream what exactly? Audio or video?

Latter is not possible

[tough lance]

I have a question, I have a server with 3vCores 3.8GHz each. My bot is in 11k servers with high commands usage (2-5 commands per second). Is it normal that my CPU usage is cranked at 98-100%? Or something must be wrong with my code?

[drifting arrow]

das a few servers there bob

[vale wing]

Is the load surely caused by that process

[tough lance]

Yes

Memory usage is fine

[vale wing]

I feel like this is usage for all python processes

Although don't know

Is the bot not isolated

[vale wing]

Forget it I just said nonsense, but that still might not show the load accurately

[tough lance]

Hey, if you've got time, could you take a look at my code?

[vale wing]

Yeah

[tough lance]

https://github.com/HarrisAhmed/Haknyeon Its unreadable tho. Sorry for the mess

[slate swan]

love the commit names

[tough lance]

I mean. its required and I don't do just one thing

[slate swan]

1. commit message is not required

2. thats why you commit every small change

but if thats just solo project and you dont care too much thats fine

[tough lance]

yea

[vale wing]

r4 = [id for id in piclis if data[id]["rarity"]==4]```

[vale wing]

The whole function is full of list comps

Time complexity of this construction is O(4n) but can be made O(n)

[shell wing]

dam what's the alt to it ?

[vale wing]

I think the load might be because of those unoptimized lists operations, if lists are big enough

[vale wing]

Normal pillow

[shell wing]

cause the ocde example im using and learning is using it

[vale wing]

!pypi pillow

would their be any changes in the code ?

Yeah

Because it is not "easy"

So.. I wanted to create a discord bot that would automatically create a thread when this specific bot sent a message in a specific channel, I asked Chatgpt and went through many errors and finally stopped getting errors, But I think chatgpt is outdated (with 2021 threads) So please help me fix this:
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/qefavowede

why do you not have any indentation

i cannot read it like this

uh what-

[smoky sinew]

do you know how python indentation works

[signal wraith]

no 😔

[wild hearth]

Are questions about self bots using DISCUM or discord.py-self aloud here?

[smoky sinew]

no

[slate swan]

self bots are not allowed so questions are not allowed as well

[wild hearth]

Unfortunate

If anyone has an experience using this and is willing to DM me I would appreciate it.

Don't seek to bypass the server rules please

[gusty flax]

Sorry no 😦

[slate swan]

its not hiding, its not opening, its doing nothing. it returns "invalid parameters"

-mycommand

Hi. I'm having an issue getting my bot to get the right params with a class.

class Memery_Bot(commands.Bot):
    def __init__(self):
        self.config = Config("config.json")
        intents = discord.Intents.all()
        super().__init__(command_prefix='m!', intents=intents)
        self.add_command(self.cmd_info)

    def start_bot(self):
        super().run(self.config.token)

    async def on_ready(self):
        print('Bot is ready.')

    async def on_command_error(self, ctx, error):
        print(error)
        if isinstance(error, commands.MissingRequiredArgument):
            await ctx.send(f"Missing required argument: {error.param}")

    @commands.command(name='info')
    async def cmd_info(self, ctx):
        print(ctx)
        await ctx.send(
            f'``Current Criteria:\n\tMaximum clip length: {self.config.max_clip_length}'\
            f'\n\tRequired Upvotes: {self.config.required_upvotes}\n\tRequired Downvotes: {self.config.required_downvotes}``'
        )

    @commands.group(name="configure", invoke_without_command=True)
    @commands.has_permissions(administrator=True)
    async def configure(self, ctx):
        await ctx.send('You have perms.')
    

    async def on_message(self, message):
        ...

        # Otherwise process commands
        await super().process_commands(message)

Command raised an exception: TypeError: Memery_Bot.cmd_info() missing 1 required positional argument: 'ctx'

[smoky sinew]

is it possible to even parent commands to commands.Bot?

[slate swan]

um

I thought so?

[smoky sinew]

maybe make a separate cog for the commands

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

class DiscordBot(commands.Bot):
    async def setup_hook(self):
        await self.add_cog(CoreCog(self))

[slate swan]

do cogs with with on_message though?

[smoky sinew]

yeah they should

[slate swan]

aight will do thx

[smoky sinew]

as long as you use process commands

[slate swan]

yep

do discord bots have the same rules as users for emotes within a server or...?

[slate swan]

Oh one thing whats the (bot) paramater?

[smoky sinew]

bots can use emojis from other servers

[slate swan]

because since my class is the bot so I call that with CoreCog(super())

oh

[smoky sinew]

my bad, i meant to do CoreCog(self) but it's so you can access the bot instance

[slate swan]

Oh thats one other thing. should I be using super() or self?

[smoky sinew]

no, because super is the parent instance, and you also probably want self.process_commands instead of super().process_commands though i don't think there is any difference

[slate swan]

Ok I will change it throughout the program

[stone gate]

is there any way to write "ctx.author.id" with interaction?

[slate swan]

should run() still be super()?

[slate swan]

?

[smoky sinew]

interaction.user.id?

[smoky sinew]

what do you mean by that

[slate swan]

def start_bot(self):
super().run(self.config.token)

[stone gate]

thanks

[smoky sinew]

no just use self but you will need to use the bot instance

[stone gate]

    async def weight(interaction, weight: int): ```

i get an error at this line, i think its right? but i might be wrong

[smoky sinew]

what is the error?

if you're using a cog, you will probably want self as an argument

[stone gate]

[smoky sinew]

remove the indent then

on that line

[slate swan]

your function is indented

and decorator is not

decide which should be indented or outdented

[stone gate]

aight, let me see

now i get this one

discord.ext.commands.errors.ExtensionFailed: Extension 'commands.admin' raised an error: TypeError: parameter 'interaction' is missing a type annotation in callback 'mytag'

[smoky sinew]

what is your code like

[stone gate]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/ocaviwoloh

this is the mytag part

[smoky sinew]

huh, is that in a cog or not

[stone gate]

yes, it is

[slate swan]

@smoky sinew thank you very much. Works now and much cleaner with it split into a separate cog

[stone gate]

i removed the "self" argument on the def and it worked lmao

[smoky sinew]

i thought you said the command was in a class 🫠

[stone gate]

it is though

and the bot turned on, but it doesnt load any of the commands of that cog

[smoky sinew]

can you show the full code

[stone gate]

yeah sure

gimme a sec

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/uximewibaf

[smoky sinew]

yeah you have to indent all of those commands to match the indentation of the class

and add self back in

[stone gate]

how should i indent it?

[smoky sinew]

one sec

[stone gate]

thanks

[smoky sinew]

to here

[stone gate]

im assuming that this is just for the async def weight?

oh no, its for everything

[smoky sinew]

it's not technically in the class if you don't indent it

[slate swan]

!indent

[unkempt canyon]

Indentation

Indentation is leading whitespace (spaces and tabs) at the beginning of a line of code. In the case of Python, they are used to determine the grouping of statements.

Spaces should be preferred over tabs. To be clear, this is in reference to the character itself, not the keys on a keyboard. Your editor/IDE should be configured to insert spaces when the TAB key is pressed. The amount of spaces should be a multiple of 4, except optionally in the case of continuation lines.

Example

def foo():
    bar = 'baz'  # indented one level
    if bar == 'baz':
        print('ham')  # indented two levels
    return bar  # indented one level

The first line is not indented. The next two lines are indented to be inside of the function definition. They will only run when the function is called. The fourth line is indented to be inside the if statement, and will only run if the if statement evaluates to True. The fifth and last line is like the 2nd and 3rd and will always run when the function is called. It effectively closes the if statement above as no more lines can be inside the if statement below that line.

Indentation is used after:
1. Compound statements (eg. if, while, for, try, with, def, class, and their counterparts)
2. Continuation lines

2. Tabs or Spaces?
3. Official docs on indentation

[sick birch]

Now it's all in the __init__ function

[smoky sinew]

one level down

[sick birch]

De-dent it one step so it's within the class but not within the the function

[smoky sinew]

look at this

the red line is where the code should begin

[sick birch]

All the "async def" and "def"s should be lined up

Also should probably use an asynchronous database connector but that's a whole 'nother can of worms

[stone gate]

this is so weird, when i indent it on the editor, the paste page does not read it, and when i indent it on the page it over indents

oh i think i got it

ok i see what the problem was, thanks

[keen niche]

what library can get timezones and give times?

[smoky sinew]

datetime?

[keen niche]

i feel dumb for forgetting such a common lib exists lmao

thx

[slate swan]

can you change a tasks time?

I currently have

    @tasks.loop(minutes=interval)    

where interval is a class variable of the cog

But does that actually do anything if I change it after?

guessing not...

Is their any way I can change the time of the task loop?

[smoky sinew]

i think it is passed by value, not by reference so if you change the variable nothing will happen

[slate swan]

yea

I found it.

[keen niche]

is a discord bot that logs chat against discord TOS? like as long as i dont use it for malicious intent, is it fine with the TOS?

[slate swan]

That's basically one of the most common functions of discord bots

to log in case of deleted messages

[keen niche]

yea but they recently changed tos about bots so im not sure if its banned or not

just double checking is all

[slate swan]

hum idk then. I would think not

At the very least how would they tell

[keen niche]

idk, but they changed some stuff coz of the mee6 drama. cant remember what they changed tho

I am trying to create a response from the bot that includes buttons. I am taking data from a database and want to display each database row as 1 button. I am able to create the buttons using a for loop in the list created by fetchall() but now how do I attach each newly created button a function.

@bot.command()
async def cancel(ctx):
    sql = 'SELECT * FROM `orders` WHERE USER_ID = ' + '"' + str(ctx.author.id) + '"' + ' AND STATUS = "ORDERED"'
    cursor.execute(sql)
    list = cursor.fetchall()
    
    CancelEmbed = discord.Embed(title="CLICK A NUMBER TO CANCEL!", color=discord.Color.red())
    view = discord.ui.View()
    
    
    for order in list:
        button = discord.ui.Button(label=order["NUMBER"])
        #need to add every new created button a function or some lines of code to run.
        #will work with some api. every number has its own ID and will get info based on the number clicked                  which will send and receive info based on the individual ID.
        view.add_item(button)
        
        await ctx.send(embed=CancelEmbed, view=view)

when playing around with button.callback i could get some results but not what i was looking for. I would get 1 function for all the buttons created.

[smoky sinew]

can you show your imports

[unreal geyser]

can someone help?

[echo wasp]

import os
import discord
import time
import datetime
import asyncio
import random
import json
from discord.ext import commands
from discord import app_commands

[unreal geyser]

ive been stuck here 2 days now

[smoky sinew]

!d discord.ui.View.add_item

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ui.View.add\_item

add_item(item)```
Adds an item to the view.

This function returns the class instance to allow for fluent-style chaining.

[smoky sinew]

also as a side-note you should use an async database library

oh my bad i didn't see you already had that

[unreal geyser]

I am getting the buttons.

with the correct numbers from the database

just want to add a function that when i click on a button it sends an api request to the site to actually cancel the site. i have the api code ready. im just stuck at actually implemeting the buttons with functions

[smoky sinew]

you have to add a callback to the function

[echo wasp]

sent imports

[smoky sinew]

class PhoneNumberButton(discord.ui.Button):
    def __init__(self, *, number: str) -> None:
        super().__init__(label=number)
        self.number = number
    
    async def callback(self, interaction: discord.Interaction) -> None:
        pass
        # custom logic here

@unreal geyser

[unreal geyser]

how to link that to the buttons? and thanks for the help

[smoky sinew]

you don't "link" it you just replace discord.ui.Button with PhoneNumberButton in your code

[unreal geyser]

oh yeah right thanks. will give it a try right now

[smoky sinew]

and then when it's clicked, the custom logic gets ran and you have access to the number variable

[stone gate]

im

SO bad at indentations lmao

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/fixapufipu i get the inconsistent use of tabs and spaces in indentation error at line 78

nvm, i just realized i used both tabs and spaces

[plain solstice]

Nice to meet you. Let me explain: I have an idea for a discord bot/app with AI integrations that would have GREAT potential. I would like to ask you if you are open to becoming a co-founder, in order to create a full-fledged startup! Let me know ! DM opened 🙂

[tiny ibex]

Hey uhm can someone tell me how I can identify consecutive messages

Uh I am bad at english but to get the idea

The 2 messages I sent above should be identified as just 1 message

And yeah you get the idea

[smoky sinew]

what do you mean

you want to get notified when a user posts twice?

[tiny ibex]

When a user is trying to send the msgs as 1 but sends em as 2

UH idk how to explain

[tiny ibex]

.

[smoky sinew]

yes i understand but what do you want to do when that happens

[tiny ibex]

Just save the msgs

[smoky sinew]

why

and use them where

[tiny ibex]

Cuz I want to I guess

[smoky sinew]

what

[sick birch]

What's the threshold interval between the messages?

[tiny ibex]

I have no idea what "threshhold interval" means, sorry

[stone gate]

i get the following error:
discord.app_commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command 'industria' raised an exception: NotFound: 404 Not Found (error code: 10062): Unknown interaction

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/mijekeruco this is the command giving the error

[sick birch]

I mean - what's the maximum time between two consecutive messages you'll listen for?

[tiny ibex]

Until it gets interrupted by another user, if that makes sense..

I am so sorry, I am bad at english

[sick birch]

You probably took longer than 3 seconds to respond

[smoky sinew]

just do like ```py
messages = {
channel_id: author_id
}

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
if messages[message.channel.id] == message.author.id:
# consecutive message occured

messages[message.channel.id] = message.author.id

[tiny ibex]

No, that's totally not it

[sick birch]

Yeah but then you have edge cases like, what happens if another user in another server sends a message?

And you have to deal with cache sizes too (which is why i asked about the interval)

[tiny ibex]

Oh don't worry, the bot will hear only in 1 channel

[smoky sinew]

it logs the channel id

[smoky sinew]

why not

[foggy merlin]

is there a way to get a members default name? member.display_name gives nicknames too

[smoky sinew]

just member.name

[stone gate]

what does that mean?;;;;

[tiny ibex]

uhh cuz it's not, uhh I am bad at explaining my use case I guess

[sick birch]

Uh.. your bot took longer than 3 seconds to respond?

[foggy merlin]

oh ok

[stone gate]

ah aight-

[sick birch]

You can defer if you suspect a long running operation (>3 secs)

await interaction.defer()
# do something that takes a long time
await interaction.followup.send(...)

[stone gate]

so if i think that:

# Check if the building status is an integer
            if isinstance(building_status, int):
                # Get the current day value from the 'list' sheet
                current_day = self.list_sheet.acell('B1').value
                
                # Subtract the current day value from the building status value
                value = building_status - int(current_day)
                
                # Add the message to the embed
                embed.add_field(name=f'Building {building_id}', value=f'{building_type}\nLevel: {building_level}\nFaltan {value} días para que se construya')
            else:
                # Add the message to the embed
                embed.add_field(name=f'Building {building_id}', value=f'{building_type}\nLevel: {building_level}\nStatus: {building_status}')```

will take too long, i just move it inside the defer?

[tiny ibex]

So... the text message should be like

User 1 :-
Hello

hlfl

kjdxgbrkzd```

```User 2:-
hello

gkhkgr

kgrh```

```yaml
User 1:-
grgb

ebf```



The output should be 
```yaml
User 1 :-
Hello hlfl kjdxgbrkzd

User 2 :-
hello gkhkgr kgrh

User 1 :-
grgb ebf```

If this makes any sense

[sick birch]

I'm guessing it has to do with your use of a blocking database client

[tiny ibex]

The 1 line leave means a new message BTW

[stone gate]

yeah, it has to read an entire sheet, then list the results that accord to the user ID, thats what i think it might be taking a while

[sick birch]

See if you can implement caching to speed that up

Redis is cool

[stone gate]

something like this?

[echo wasp]

hi, I am getting this error when having amount described and is in the async def

[smoky sinew]

what is your code

[naive briar]

Read the error

[echo wasp]

I did but I don't know what it means a type annotation

[naive briar]

Type hint

[smoky sinew]

you used equals instead of a semicolon

that's the wrong syntax

[naive briar]

Basic Python

[echo wasp]

fun.. Why did vscode not catch it?

[uneven hearth]

is it possible to have an argument that contains a list of all the server members who are having a certain role? exactly like discord.member, just presents only those who have a certain role

[smoky sinew]

because it's valid.. but not what you want

[naive briar]

It's not an error that it would know

[echo wasp]

ah

how do I make a value default to one if not specified in app_commands?

[smoky sinew]

equals..

[echo wasp]

so amount: int = 1?

[naive briar]

Yes?

[smoky sinew]

sure

[ionic garden]

are view button rows 0-indexed or 1-indexed

[smoky sinew]

but it would be Optional[int]

[smoky sinew]

0-indexed

[ionic garden]

kk

[echo wasp]

that's fine with me

[naive briar]

What

[smoky sinew]

you annotate it as Optional[int]

[naive briar]

Why

Not like it's gonna be none

[smoky sinew]

things with defaults always get typed as Optional

actually nvm

since it's not none

[ionic garden]

i have the following template view that i inherit from: https://paste.pythondiscord.com/anivipicon

however, the "exit" button always appears in the front

and i can't set the column of a button...

[naive briar]

What

That's the whole class?

Of course, it will only appear on the first row

[ionic garden]

when i inherit it & add some buttons, this is what happens
i want it to be on the right instead of on the left
is this possible?

[naive briar]

Define it after buttons that you want it to be behind

[ionic garden]

there's the problem

it's in an inherited class because i have like 10 other views with this exit button

[naive briar]

What

[ionic garden]

.

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/unagacevoc

and i inherit it like this

[sick birch]

You might want to use composition instead of inheritance in this scenario

[ionic garden]

how so?

[sick birch]

Maybe create a helper function that takes any view and just appends the "Exit" button to the back

[ionic garden]

i also have an interaction_check that's the same across every view

[sick birch]

You might also be able to call super().__init__ of your child class after you've added all the buttons

class ChildView(AdventureTemplate):
  def __init__(...):
    self.add_item(...)
    super().__init__(...)

Just take a guess here, not 100% sure if that'd work

[ionic garden]

but is this possible w/ composition?

maybe have a function that you set w/ setattr but

that seems very scuffed

[echo wasp]

How do I check for permission in app_commands?

[smoky sinew]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.checks.has_permissions

That's what I thought but then I got a stupid error that it doesn't exist but I prob did something wrong

[vale wing]

What error

[echo wasp]

Just let me test it out real quick

[echo wasp]

That fixed it but the py @purge.error is broken how do I fix this? It says

[vale wing]

Pretty sure all command errors are in discord.ext.commands

However you use discord.app_commands

[echo wasp]

yes becasue i'm migrating

@purge.error
    async def sendback(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, error: app_commands.CommandError):
        if isinstance(error, commands.MissingPermissions):  
          await interaction.response.send_message(f"{ctx.author.mention}You do not have permissions to do this command.")

[vale wing]

Yeah it is commands.CommandError assuming you have commands imported

[echo wasp]

yea

[vale wing]

Not the app_commands

[echo wasp]

ok

i am new to python and have made a battleship game but am getting errors

wrong chat sorry

[vocal hazel]

I have my bot hosted on a digital ocean droplet and have for awhile, just wondering what I'm able to implement to allow me to see error codes for the bot so that I can debug when something goes wrong? Would a remote IDE connected to the server help with this?

[echo wasp]

You could have all errors send to your server channel. But if you want todo it that way you can aswell but Ide is something i do not know

[vocal hazel]

It would probably be easier to just have them sent to the channel, would that just be using the try, except for every error or is there an easier way to just send the error message?

[echo wasp]

yea but then every user will have to go to the support server for them to debug. but that does work

[smoky sinew]

just set up a custom logging handler

using the logging module

[vocal hazel]

It's a private bot so not really an issue for the moment

[vocal hazel]

Thanks, I'll look into this!

[echo wasp]

or just do that then again I've never done it I should of not just said anything

this happens because you are trying to reply to slash command that has been deleted (hence the 404 error ) by channel.purge()

[worthy heart]

is it possible to make a purge command within slash command?

[prime gull]

you can add a check argument inside the purge
here is the purge command in documentation: https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html?highlight=purge#discord.StageChannel.purge

you can create your own check to compare purged messages

!d discord.on_member_update

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_member\_update

discord.on_member_update(before, after)```
Called when a [`Member`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Member "discord.Member") updates their profile.

This is called when one or more of the following things change...

[shrewd fjord]

It takes before and after

before is the Member object with its previous properties (before updating something) and after is the after properties (after updating something) both will return Member object

!d discord.Member

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member

class discord.Member```
Represents a Discord member to a [`Guild`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Guild "discord.Guild").

This implements a lot of the functionality of [`User`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.User "discord.User").

x == y Checks if two members are equal. Note that this works with [`User`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.User "discord.User") instances too.

x != y Checks if two members are not equal. Note that this works with [`User`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.User "discord.User") instances too.

hash(x) Returns the member’s hash.

str(x) Returns the member’s name with the discriminator.

that part works but the delete or edit doesnt

You can look at my template, it contains useful tools for development of "complex" bots using disnake and postgres database https://github.com/Exenifix/disnake-bot-template-postgres

Audit log works

[glad cradle]

just to say it, I don't like your project structure

[echo mural]

k thanks, I'll check it out

[vale wing]

Is that subjective

I mean if that's just your opinion well it's your opinion, but if there really are some objective things that could be changed for better I can take that into consideration

[naive briar]

What

[vale wing]

Variable store plugin is something from 2050s

Oh I just leaked I am a time traveller

Well happens

Anyways perhaps you mean a database?

[glad cradle]

Well imo you put unrelated files under the utils directory (module)

for example bot shouldn't be there

[modest pond]

you can go for mysql.connector sqlite

depends

[vale wing]

You need to learn SQL (it's easy) and then use one of databases. Personally I recommend sqlite and postgres, latter is harder to setup but more feature-rich

[vale wing]

Where do you usually put it to

[winged coral]

bot is normally in root since it's effectively main.py

having your entrypoint file is fine but it's normally in the same directory as your more abstract entry

[slate swan]

i agree to disagree, if you're talking about a bot instance, yeah it should preferably be in the main file, but having a bot class ( especially one that has highly been modified through subclass) should be in a folder where you keep your objects/other utils

[vale wing]

I follow principle of only having entrypoint and config/manifest files in root

And that's pretty common practice isn't it

For python

Bobux bot developers meeting

[sick birch]

Me when

When the uhhh

bobux

[glad cradle]

same

[cloud dawn]

It highly depends on where tot store certain files since everything in one root quickly becomes a lot if you're going to use docker

im trying to log invites and get an error with this code:
discord.errors.Forbidden: 403 Forbidden (error code: 50013): Missing Permissions
Code:

  guild = bot.get_guild(GUILD_ID)
  for guild in bot.guilds:
    invites[guild.id] = await guild.invites()
def find_invite_by_code(invite_list, code):
  for inv in invite_list:     
      if inv.code == code:      
        return inv```

seems that the error is coming from here invites[guild.id] = await guild.invites()

[slate swan]

You must have manage_guild to get this information.

Your bot is probably missing that permission.

[left dew]

oh is that something i have to edit within the application?

[slate swan]

No, just grant your bot the permissions it needs in your server's role settings.

[left dew]

oh

it has admin

[slate swan]

by this do you mean the user needs that permission?

if so could be your issue.

It's quoted from the discord.py docs, it is referring to the bot's permissions, I should have made that more clear.

[cloud dawn]

I guarantee you this will scale very poorly.

[left dew]

huh

i figured out the problem

[slate swan]

how can I loop through all the posts in a forum channel?

[tired pollen]

!d discord.ForumChannel.threads

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ForumChannel.threads

property threads```
Returns all the threads that you can see.

[stone gate]

How do i create command categories?

Hey

How could I add reactions to embed?

@bot.slash_command(name="training", description="request a training!") 
async def training(interaction: nextcord.Interaction, training: str = SlashOption(name="training", choices={"Hopeful: Induction Ceremony": "Hopeful: Induction Ceremony", "Initiate: Combat Instruction": "Initiate: Combat Instruction", "Neophyte: Lore Instruction ": "Neophyte: Lore Instruction", "Acolyte I: Disciplinary Assessment": "Acolyte I: Disciplinary Assessment", "Acolyte I: The Bloodletting": "Acolyte I: The Bloodletting", "Acolyte II: Lore Recitation": "Acolyte II: Lore Recitation", "Acolyte II: The Gathering": "Acolyte II: The Gathering", "Acolyte III: Advanced Tactics": "Acolyte III: Advanced Tactics", "Acolyte III: The Proving": "Acolyte III: The Proving"})):
    embed = nextcord.Embed(title="Training request!",
                          description=f"Training: {training}",
                          colour=nextcord.Colour.green())
    embed.add_field(name="by", value=interaction.user)
    embed.set_thumbnail(url='https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1086053799845703741/1086057416195579954/TSE_DarkCouncil.png')
    
    # Send the message and add a reaction
    message = await interaction.response.send_message(embed=embed)
    await message.add_reaction('👍')

I get an error when I add a reaction

Ignoring exception in command <nextcord.application_command.SlashApplicationCommand object at 0x0000022221D83890>:

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

[fading marlin]

send_message doesn't return the whole message that was sent. You have to fetch the original message and add the reaction that way

[graceful ermine]

I never used fetch message could you guide me on that?

@fading marlin

[fading marlin]

I already got pinged when you replied... no need to tag me again

[graceful ermine]

mb

[fading marlin]

Looking at nextcords documentation, you can fetch the message from the partialmessage you received

https://docs.nextcord.dev/en/stable/api.html#nextcord.PartialInteractionMessage.fetch

[graceful ermine]

well there is no fetch function

[fading marlin]

That is the fetch function

[graceful ermine]

I know but in my VScode it says I need to define it

[fading marlin]

You're calling message.fetch(), right?

[graceful ermine]

no interaction.fetch
