!d discord.Member.timed_out_until

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.timed\_out\_until

An aware datetime object that specifies the date and time in UTC that the member’s time out will expire. This will be set to None if the user is not timed out.

New in version 2.0.

[smoky sinew]

bruh my internet connection is not working i cannot go to docs sadge

[glad cradle]

hiii

[smoky sinew]

why we abandon pyweek

[glad cradle]

because noone is working on it 😔😭

I can't do everything in solo

[smoky sinew]

so sad maybe i will just quit team and submit a half-assed 1 hour pygame game to at least have something

[glad cradle]

I'm sorry it went that way, the team was made in a rush and the codebase isn't that great either

!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.

why isnt it working , the res.content is in bytes and is an image,but i get this error raise CommandInvokeError(exc) from exc discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: ValueError: embedded null byte

when i add this line

with open("ok.png","wb") as f:
    f.write(res.content)```
it saves the image successfuly

[glad cradle]

bro requests.get is a blocking call, you should use aiohttp

regarding your issue you don't need to save a file you can pass an io.BytesIO object to discord.File to send it

!d discord.File

[unkempt canyon]

discord.File

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

Note

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

[glad cradle]

!d io.BytesIO

[unkempt canyon]

io.BytesIO

class io.BytesIO(initial_bytes=b'')```
A binary stream using an in-memory bytes buffer. It inherits [`BufferedIOBase`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/io.html#io.BufferedIOBase "io.BufferedIOBase"). The buffer is discarded when the [`close()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/io.html#io.IOBase.close "io.IOBase.close") method is called.

The optional argument *initial\_bytes* is a [bytes-like object](https://docs.python.org/3/glossary.html#term-bytes-like-object) that contains initial data.

[`BytesIO`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/io.html#io.BytesIO "io.BytesIO") provides or overrides these methods in addition to those from [`BufferedIOBase`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/io.html#io.BufferedIOBase "io.BufferedIOBase") and [`IOBase`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/io.html#io.IOBase "io.IOBase"):

Can someone help me

[blazing flint]

With?

Lol my bot has a .help command and I don’t know why. I never made the command and all of mine are slash commands, except for one built in configuration feature that uses the . prefix.

[hushed galleon]

that comes free with commands.Bot for prefix-based commands, if you want to remove it just pass help_command=None to your bot's constructor

[pale escarp]

anyone knows how to fix that

[blazing flint]

No u didn’t

[full lily]

whats the story with discord.py now? Does it support slash commands and all of those new fancy features?

[blazing flint]

It has for a long time lol

[full lily]

alrighty

and what about forum channels anddddd

I can't really think of anything else right now, but I know it had a lot of holes in terms of what you could do in the library compared to what discord offered

[slate swan]

@blazing flintwait can u tell are we only supposed to use slash commands in bot??

[hushed galleon]

not sure if there's a list of missing features somewhere, but you can look through the changelog to see what they've recently added (forumchannels were added in 2.0)
https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/whats_new.html
some missing features i can think of is oauth flow (out of scope for dpy), http-only interactions (though this can be done using internals), and voice receive (i think danny isnt willing to maintain this feature?)

[full lily]

i'm just having a read right now. If there's nothing major missing then that's all the better for me

[hushed galleon]

and fwiw
<#dev-announcements message>

2022/3/05: We just migrated <@&270988689419665409> to disnake!
2022/3/13: We'll be reverting our migration on bot and our bot-core projects to use the latest revisions of Discord.py

[blazing flint]

No

But I prefer them

[maiden fable]

The reason Danny doesn't wanna add voice receive is because the endpoint isn't documented and he doesn't wanna add anything that is undocumented (which seems kinda lame ngl)
Http only interactions is also a highly requested feature but no idea why he ain't willing to add that (or maybe gonna add in future version(s)

[slate swan]

canary discord?
its still a thing?

[blazing flint]

What will the value be when the member is timed out

[slate swan]

a datetime object if they're timed out, or None if they're not timed out

[loud mountain]

Wait you can make a discord bot in python????

is there like a basic code somewhere i can copy and build off of?

[vocal snow]

you can check the discord.py docs and github repo: https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/intro.html

it's recommended you know atleast basic python before starting though

[vocal snow]

!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.

[loud mountain]

what is this? text o get voice support, you should use discord.py[voice] instead of discord.py is that just to allow it to connect to voice channels and speak? if so that is useful, i can create a music bot

[vocal snow]

yes

[loud mountain]

great

[vocal snow]

just take note of this when making a music bot ^

[loud mountain]

yep

[stable current]

How would I put this into the code?

[vocal snow]

the same way it's done in the example except you would pass the intents to your discord.Client instead of commands.Bot

[blazing flint]

Well some people like to do something along the lines of

intents = discord.Intents.all()

and then pass it when you create your client/bot object

[stable current]

Uh explain, I'm very new when it comes to creating bots

I started learning python 2 weeks ago

[glad cradle]

O_o

[vocal snow]

You may want to consider learning a bit more python first, since discord.py will require you to use quite a few things which you may not have learnt about yet (such as classes, decorators and async)

[stable current]

Yes I know, but I really want to make a discord bot, and it also helps me understand general python

Once I've learned the language fully, I'm going to go into AI and stuff

[loud mountain]

question: is my bot supposed to stay online after i hit close on my script?

because it wont go offline

but the commands dont work

how do i take it offline its creepy

[slate swan]

when you set the bots status in your code make it .offline

[vocal snow]

Try refreshing your client, it may take discord a bit to register the disconnect

(ctrl + R)

[stable current]

Yo can you help me with

[slate swan]

depends what u need

[stable current]

this, I get intent errors

[slate swan]

lemme go to my project for the prooper intents

[slate swan]

pass intents object when creating Client

!d discord.Client

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Client

class discord.Client(*, intents, **options)```
Represents a client connection that connects to Discord. This class is used to interact with the Discord WebSocket and API.

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

New in version 2.0.

A number of options can be passed to the [`Client`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Client "discord.Client").

[slate swan]

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

[loud mountain]

how do i set up slash commands? i currently have a basic one: ```py
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!')

if message.content.startswith('$Who are you?'):
  await message.channel.send('I am a bot, wirtten in python by Faulty! I am a basic bot.')

client.run('Token')```

[slate swan]

it has intents argument

[stable current]

import discord

from discord import Intents
from discord.ext import commands


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

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="!", intents=intents)
intents = discord.Intents.all()

TOKEN = 'pypypypypypypy'

client = discord.Client()

@client.event
async def on_ready():
    print('We have logged in as {0.user}'.format(client))


@client.event
async def on_message(message):
    username = str(message.author).split('#')[0]
    user_message = str(message.content)
    channel = str(message.channel.name)
    print(f'{username}: {user_message} ({channel})')


    if message.author == client.user:
        return
    
    if message.channel.name == 'python-projects':
        if user_message.lower() == 'hello':
            await message.channel.send(f'Hello {username}!')
            return
        elif user_message.lower() == 'bye':
            await message.channel.send(f'Bye {username}!')
            return
client.run(TOKEN)

I put in the intents, but still doesnt work

[slate swan]

intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.message_content = True
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='!', intents=intents)```

[slate swan]

just pasting code and dont understanding what it does does not solve the problem

[stable current]

I didn't paste it

I watched a toturial

I need to begin on bot developing somewhere

[slate swan]

you need to create discord.Intents object then enable intents you need and then pass it when creating Client

[loud mountain]

does anyone know this?

Is there a way to make a more simplified bot without intents?

[slate swan]

nope

discord requires intents

[stable current]

Any toturials on yt on how to use them?

[slate swan]

also @stable current what type of bot are u coding? Moderation bot?

[stable current]

No just a starter bot that responds when you for example say !hello

[slate swan]

i could send u my code for a moderation bot if u wanta look at it

also i recomend using bot.command not client.command

[stable current]

Could you send me a simple discord bot with the intents stuff fixed?

like, an example

[slate swan]

i did look at the paste i sent

!d discord.Intents

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Intents

class discord.Intents(value=0, **kwargs)```
Wraps up a Discord gateway intent flag.

Similar to [`Permissions`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Permissions "discord.Permissions"), the properties provided are two way. You can set and retrieve individual bits using the properties as if they were regular bools.

To construct an object you can pass keyword arguments denoting the flags to enable or disable.

This is used to disable certain gateway features that are unnecessary to run your bot. To make use of this, it is passed to the `intents` keyword argument of [`Client`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Client "discord.Client").

New in version 1.5.

[slate swan]

# we create intents varriable with the default intents enabled
intents = discord.Intents.default()
# we additionally enable message content so our bot can see messages
intents.message_content = True

# when creating a Client or Bot instance we pass in intents we created
client = discord.Client(intents=intents)

# use the client
...

explained as i could

Like this?

[slate swan]

yes

[stable current]

It still doesnt work

[slate swan]

use bot instead of client

[stable current]

Change the variable to bot?

FINALLY

[slate swan]

No you define client 2 times

[stable current]

Yeah, I fixed the code and used pass

And it finally worked

[slate swan]

Please have some Basic python knowledge before starting to create a discord bot

That's not good for first project

[stable current]

Yeah I know, but I'm very motivated to do it

I study python every day, I'm going to go back to the more general stuff now

Gotta walk before you can run

Anyways, I finally did it and I'm happy and even more motivated to learn the more general stuff, so yeah

[stable current]

@slate swan Do you know how I can use the slash commands with my bot?

[hushed galleon]

^ dont forget about this tag
@stable current that being said, it will become easier to understand as you grasp the fundamentals like data types, functions, and object oriented programming

there's a list of things you should know here: https://gist.github.com/scragly/095b5278a354d46e86f02d643fc3d64b

try to understand a reasonable amount of what you're writing and develop a good reasoning about what your program does

str(message.author) gives me a string in the form "username#tag" and i want the username, so im using .split('#') to split the username/tag into two elements in a list, then indexing the first element with [0] to get the username

btw message.author.name / message.author.display_name serves the same purpose as above, and that's part of the documentation which will become a very important source of information for learning what the library provides
https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html#id1
generally official sources are preferable for learning since they tend to have more comprehensive and up-to-date information, including python's own documentation

(not that third-party guides are all bad, however many about discord.py are notorious for demonstrating bad practices)

[slate swan]

Yes there was gist somewhere

https://gist.github.com/AbstractUmbra/a9c188797ae194e592efe05fa129c57f

Do you need slash commands do get the badge?

[hushed galleon]

yes, you can see how to get it here
https://support-dev.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/10113997751447-Active-Developer-Badge

[stable current]

I currently have my own commands, but is it required to have slash commands to get the badge

[slate swan]

easyest way but cheatiest way to get it is make a bot ghost project and its got a feature to get the badge (very easy) but i done mine with coding my own bot so...

your choice if u want an easy way or a slightly harder way

[stable current]

I don't want to do it like that

I want to do this as a challenge

[slate swan]

okay

you just gotta learn how to make / cmds and ur good

[stable current]

Exactly what I'm doing rn 👍

[slate swan]

those are not even slash commands

did you read the link i gave you?

[hexed dagger]

Hi

So I was using interaction.user.timeout(

How do I mute for 20s with that

[slate swan]

you need to create a timedelta object with 20 seconds

!d datetime.timedelta

[unkempt canyon]

datetime.timedelta

class datetime.timedelta(days=0, seconds=0, microseconds=0, milliseconds=0, minutes=0, hours=0, weeks=0)```
All arguments are optional and default to `0`. Arguments may be integers or floats, and may be positive or negative.

Only *days*, *seconds* and *microseconds* are stored internally. Arguments are converted to those units...

[hexed dagger]

Alr lemme try

[slate swan]

!e ```py
from datetime import timedelta

until = timedelta(seconds=20)

print(until)

[unkempt canyon]

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

0:00:20

[slate swan]

now when you have the object

you need to pass it into timeout method

!d discord.Member.timeout

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.timeout

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

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

@slate swan

How do I dm a user in discord.py

Ur previous thing worked thx

[slate swan]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/faq.html#how-do-i-send-a-dm

[hexed dagger]

Thanks it worked

[hexed dagger]

Hi

My discord button is not changing color

When it is clicked

Here's the code

[random obsidian]

how can i obtain message author user id?

[copper ibex]

Developer Mode
Settings > Advanced > Developer Mode

[random obsidian]

hello

no no
from bot

for example
i send this message and want from bot to take this message author id

[copper ibex]

oh

[copper ibex]

You're spelling button wrong you say "buttoon" unless you have to do that that's what I see

[random obsidian]

!d discord.Message.author

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message.author

A Member that sent the message. If channel is a private channel or the user has the left the guild, then it is a User instead.

[hexed dagger]

I forgot to send the changes lol

I am stupid

[copper ibex]

Workes now?

[copper ibex]

I don't really know I'm sorry
If you're looking for a specific message author id from a channel then use events and pass a channel id

[random obsidian]

thanks for your response ❤️

[hexed dagger]

Ye

Thanks

[copper ibex]

What did you have to do?

[hexed dagger]

Send the new view

[smoky sinew]

it's just a variable name, it can be called whatever

[smoky sinew]

!d discord.User.id

[unkempt canyon]

discord.User.id

The user’s unique ID.

[random obsidian]

hello!
thanksss ❤️

[random obsidian]

and another question
if i want to obtain user display name from that user id , what should i write?

[smoky sinew]

if it's a member and you want to fetch their nickname or username, use Member.display_name, otherwise use Member.name/User.name

if you ONLY have the user ID, then get or fetch the user first using Client.get_user

[random obsidian]

aha

thanks ❤️

[random obsidian]

unfortunately , it not work

@bot.tree.command(name="getid",description="Get User Id!")
@app_commands.describe()
async def getid(interaction:discord.Interaction):
  userid = interaction.user.id
  username = discord.Member.display_name(userid)
  print(str(username))
```@smoky sinew

[smoky sinew]

no

just print(interaction.user.display_name)

and remove lines 4 and 5

you need an instance of discord.Member to use display_name

[random obsidian]

aw

it working!
thanks ❤️

[gaunt spear]

how can i run 2 files in my bot?

[blazing flint]

In what sense?

[gaunt spear]

for example python3 requirements.txt && main.py it doesn’t work anymore

[smoky sinew]

you're running your requirements.txt file?

it would be python3 requirements.txt && python3 main.py

does that even work in the first place though

[slate swan]

holy shit im an idiot

[smoky sinew]

ok

[slate swan]

you can't really run text files with python lol

and I don't think you can run two files like that at the same time

you should run them separately if you want

like :
python3 this.py
python3 that.py (another terminal window)

[smoky sinew]

cat /dev/urandom | python3

there is a potential chance that in a few million years this will remove all files on your computer

[idle lantern]

any tips for where should i start learning about discord bots made with python?

[slate swan]

can someone send a like verification that i can run in it that lets me join servers for them

[golden portal]

make sure to have a core fundamental on these before starting dpy
https://gist.github.com/scragly/095b5278a354d46e86f02d643fc3d64b#required-knowledge
then you can use a quick start example
https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/quickstart.html

[idle lantern]

oh thanks

[slate swan]

i open the app and it opens terminal

what do i do next

im not watching a 5 hour video for it to tell me

please help

[smoky sinew]

oauth2

it's not really related to a discord bot so much as a webserver

[slate swan]

how do you add cooldowns to discord ui buttons? i want to set it to once a minute with some indicator that the buttons are ready again. maybe change them to red? then revert back the colours?

or maybe a queue method so it doesn't error?

[golden portal]

on_click -> disable button -> spawn asyncio task, sleep for 1 minute -> enable button

[slate swan]

ty

[golden portal]

now that i think about it you dont have to spawn a task at all, just do it inside the button callback 🤔

[blazing flint]

I am defining a message variable so I can edit it later. For some reason, I can only use message.edit if the message is not an interaction.response. How can I edit an interaction.response object?

[slate swan]

true and just make a guard clause 😄

[golden portal]

i suppose yea in the interaction_check

[golden portal]

interaction.response.edit_message?

[blazing flint]

Ok so I don’t need the message variable for it to function?

[golden portal]

no, the edit_message refers to the message that triggered the interaction

[blazing flint]

K

@golden portal I get an error when I do this saying the interaction has already been responded to before. I am trying to edit the response I already sent

Is it just not possible to add a view to a response?

[golden portal]

i see, if thats the case you would need to use Interaction.edit_original_response, it will edit your response message

[blazing flint]

ok

[raw quail]

I created a bot that created a channel and created several threads in the channel to automatically transmit certain data every month on a specified date. but, if the message is not updated for a certain period of time in the thread, the ID of the channel remains the same as before, but the message cannot be sent using the bot anymore. as shown below, the message that there is no channel id appears. so it says 'send' can't be done. is the only way to solve this is to send it to a channel rather than a thread?

'NoneType' object has no attribute 'send'

[hushed galleon]

based on a quick test, threads are removed from the bot's cache as soon as they are closed/auto-archived (matching what the documentation says about get_thread)

if you just want to send a message to the channel and do nothing else, use Client.get_partial_messageable(thread_id) instead, or if you do need the actual Thread object, use Guild.fetch_channel(thread_id) as a fallback if get_thread doesn't work

[raw quail]

wow... thank you so much i fixed with your solution. and now going to study with docs

[vital glacier]

problem is, if i try to get 'for t in tags' in jsk py, it works properly like it should

[pliant gorge]

Can you make a bot that captures all the names in someone’s server

[vital glacier]

put them all in a list and then send/print that list

[pliant gorge]

Yeah but it isn’t my server

[vocal snow]

the bot needs to be in whichever server you want to get the member list from

!d discord.Guild.members

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.members

property members```
A list of members that belong to this guild.

[vocal snow]

you can obtain the discord.Guild object via bot.get_guild or an event parameter depending on where you're trying to access it

[mighty sun]

Hello, do you know why all my commands open three times when I run them? https://paste.pythondiscord.com/isasikenok

[vocal snow]

you're calling

await bot.process_commands(message)
``` 3 times

[mighty sun]

Yes, because I have to, right? To have several messages?

[vocal snow]

no

you call it once

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.process_commands

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.process\_commands

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

This function processes the commands that have been registered to the bot and other groups. Without this coroutine, none of the commands will be triggered.

By default, this coroutine is called inside the [`on_message()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.on_message "discord.on_message") event. If you choose to override the [`on_message()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.on_message "discord.on_message") event, then you should invoke this coroutine as well.

This is built using other low level tools, and is equivalent to a call to [`get_context()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.get_context "discord.ext.commands.Bot.get_context") followed by a call to [`invoke()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.invoke "discord.ext.commands.Bot.invoke").

This also checks if the message’s author is a bot and doesn’t call [`get_context()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.get_context "discord.ext.commands.Bot.get_context") or [`invoke()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.invoke "discord.ext.commands.Bot.invoke") if so.

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

[vocal snow]

see what it does ^

if you call it more than once, it'll process the commands more than once too

[mighty sun]

I edited it's fine thanks 😄😍

[blissful badge]

hi hoping to maybe get some help

working on getting this preview working for an embed command....code below

    @commands.command()
    async def embed(self, ctx):
        def check(message):
            return message.author == ctx.author and message.channel == ctx.channel

        await ctx.send('Waiting for a title')
        title = await self.bot.wait_for('message', check=check)
  
        await ctx.send('Waiting for a description')
        desc = await self.bot.wait_for('message', check=check)

        await ctx.send('Please provide me with the image (directly paste or attach image, no need for link) for this post, if no image is needed just say none.')
        news_image = await self.bot.wait_for("message", check=lambda m: all([
            m.author == ctx.author,
            m.channel == ctx.channel,
            len(m.attachments) == 1 or "none" in m.content.lower()
            ]))

        if news_image.attachments:
            embed.set_image(url=news_image.attachments[0].url)

        embed = discord.Embed(title=title.content, description=desc.content, color=0x1ABC9C)
        embed.set_thumbnail(url="https://imgur.com/MJnM3LU.png")

        await ctx.send('What channel should I send this in? Please provide me with the channel ID.\n- #news: 569635458183856149\n- #general: 803341100618219540\n- #patch-notes: 585952222853201941')
        dest = await self.bot.wait_for('message', check=check)

        await ctx.send('Who should I tag? Please provide me with the role ID.\n- news: 620025828079697920\n- gen: 803343410794594385\n- patch: 620025894559547412')
        role_message = await self.bot.wait_for('message', check=check)

        await ctx.send('What is the tag preview?')
        tag_preview = await self.bot.wait_for('message', check=check)

        channel = self.bot.get_channel(1065685023853920258)
        class ConfirmationView(discord.ui.View):
            @discord.ui.button(label="Confirm", style=discord.ButtonStyle.success)
            async def confirm(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, button: discord.ui.Button) -> None:
                await channel.send(1065685023853920258)

            @discord.ui.button(label="Deny", style=discord.ButtonStyle.danger)
            async def deny(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, button: discord.ui.Button) -> None:
                await interaction.response.send_message("Cancelled.", ephemeral=True)
    
        channel = self.bot.get_channel(int(dest.content))
        await channel.send(embed=embed)
        await channel.send(f"<@&{role_message.content}> - {tag_preview.content}")

goal is for it to send a preview into the command issued channel that can be approved or denied before being sent off

it just sends the embed to its final destination and skips the preview rn

[slate swan]

guys how fix this error nextcord.errors.InteractionResponded: This interaction has already been responded to before

[amber kettle]

Oh

[glad cradle]

as the error says, you're trying to respond to an interaction that was already responded

e.g

await inter.response.send_message(...)
# some lines later

await inter.response.send_message(...)

[slate swan]

oo

so how close the other responded message

[glad cradle]

!d nextcord.Interaction.send

[unkempt canyon]

nextcord.Interaction.send

await send(content=None, *, embed=..., embeds=..., file=..., files=..., view=..., tts=False, delete_after=None, allowed_mentions=..., flags=None, ephemeral=None, suppress_embeds=None)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

This is a shorthand function for helping in sending messages in response to an interaction. If the interaction has not been responded to, [`InteractionResponse.send_message()`](https://nextcord.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#nextcord.InteractionResponse.send_message "nextcord.InteractionResponse.send_message") is used. If the response [`is_done()`](https://nextcord.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#nextcord.InteractionResponse.is_done "nextcord.InteractionResponse.is_done") then the message is sent via [`Interaction.followup`](https://nextcord.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#nextcord.Interaction.followup "nextcord.Interaction.followup") using [`Webhook.send`](https://nextcord.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#nextcord.Webhook.send "nextcord.Webhook.send") instead.

[slate swan]

fax just find it in my code 💀

[glad cradle]

await inter.send(...)

[slate swan]

ah i for modul

await interaction.response.send_modal(modal)

[glad cradle]

this will respond to the interaction if it wasn't responded before, otherwise it'll use the followup to send the message

[slate swan]

so it will not work like that

[glad cradle]

you can send modal only on interaction responses

[slate swan]

ik so i added response

[glad cradle]

yeah then it should be the first thing that you send

[slate swan]

ah i can't do that

[glad cradle]

blame discord for this

[slate swan]

there are any way to solve that?

[glad cradle]

mm let me check

no, but you could use a message with buttons and when a button is clicked you'll send the modal

[slate swan]

ik ok then

[vale wing]

@glad cradle you are helper now 😳

[buoyant knot]

im trying to make my bot join a specific vc and play a specific file when a command is said, however it joins vc and doesnt play anything
i added the print debug message there, it seems like it gets stuck on vc = await channel.connect()

[vale wing]

Do you have ffmpeg executable

[buoyant knot]

oh

[vale wing]

Yeh

i forgot about that, my bad

    with open("old_links.txt", "r", encoding="utf-8") as file:
        old_links = file.read().splitlines()

    while True:
        try:
            channel = self.bot.get_channel(channel_id)
            err_message = self.bot.get_channel(err_discord)

        await asyncio.sleep(t)

I created a function that sends a message when a new post is uploaded. but as the number of sites increases, links are not saved in old_links.txt, so duplicate messages are sent every time when the bot is rebooted.

i tried to use the cached_messages function by referring to the docs to solve this but i can't figure it out as a beginner, it's too difficult for me to do alone. could please help me to give some advices. is discord.py a function that detects old messages in the channel?

[vale wing]

Pretty sure wrong callback function signature

[slate swan]

hm? await interaction.deferReply();

[buoyant knot]

i dont think thats the issue though

the code/bot gets stuck before reaching the vc.play line

[vale wing]

You should subclass the view instead of assigning callback function

And yeah one of your callbacks is sync for some reason

[vale wing]

Add a print after .play

[slate swan]

sorry what this error mean `nextcord.errors.NotFound: 404 Not Found (error code: 10062): Unknown interaction

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

nextcord.errors.ApplicationInvokeError: Command raised an exception: NotFound: 404 Not Found (error code: 10062): Unknown interaction`

[vale wing]

You can't clarify it gets stuck there cause code ends there 🧐

[buoyant knot]

i will, but like- it doesnt even reach the print before the .play

[vale wing]

Ah

Then print channel before connect

And you should be getting error actually

You might have improper error handler

[vale wing]

Can be plenty of reasons, you tried sending followup to interaction that never was responded to, message was deleted before you answered etc

[slate swan]

i see

[slate swan]

then how to responded to a interaction btw here the code await message1.edit("**CrossServer Chat StartUp**", embed=embed) await interaction.deferReply() sleep(3) modal = Crosschat() await interaction.response.send_modal(modal)

[vale wing]

Actually personally I hate callbacks so I did a neat thing that allows you to get which button was pressed without them, check this out https://github.com/Exenifix/disnake-bot-template-postgres/blob/master/utils/views.py it's for disnake but similar principle in dpy

[vale wing]

You should await asyncio.sleep() instead of time.sleep()

And it's interaction.response.defer()

Not interaction.deferReply

[vale wing]

import it

[slate swan]

how it import it

[vale wing]

by importing

[vale wing]

import asyncio```

[slate swan]

ez

lol ok

[slate swan]

interaction.response.defer() not even working

it do nothing

it say nextcord.errors.InteractionResponded: This interaction has already been responded to before

[naive briar]

Oh really?

Or just you don't even know what it does

[slate swan]

in nextcord use this to send message:
await interaction.send()

and not
await interaction.response.send()

[slate swan]

i sending a modal so it need response ig

[vale wing]

Could you send full function code

[slate swan]

Yeah then its .response.send_modal()

of modal?

[vale wing]

Nah where you defer

[slate swan]

it will say the interction aready call

  async def buttom3_callback(self):
            
            embed=discord.Embed(title=f"Fall Form",description=f"**You Doing Amazing!** You Did All The Steps Now Just Full The Page And the **Cross Chat** Will be **Done!**",color=0xff7d00)
            await message1.edit("**CrossServer Chat StartUp**", embed=embed,view=None)
            interaction.response.defer()
            await asyncio.sleep(3)
            modal = Crosschat()
            await interaction.response.send_modal(modal)```

[vale wing]

You probably already responded to interaction

[naive briar]

You didn't even await defer 🧐

[vale wing]

Yes that's first of all

[slate swan]

does defe close the response right?

[vale wing]

Deferring basically makes discord wait until you respond

[slate swan]

i see

but i want close the response

[vale wing]

Without deferring you have to respond within 3 seconds

[slate swan]

well followup does not have send_modal

[slate swan]

yes sadly

Too easy solution

[vale wing]

Who would even need to send modal in followup

[slate swan]

does there any way to just close the call and recall make when i call the modal

[vale wing]

🧐

Only way to send a modal with followup is to add a button to followup and then send modal in response to button interaction

[slate swan]

yes pls

Ok i will make button 1 sec brb

[slate swan]

Done now how make it "response to button interaction"

[tawdry karma]

lmfao

[tawdry karma]

When the user clicks the button, then send the modal

[slate swan]

yes But still how.

[tawdry karma]

How would you usually 💀

Oh

[slate swan]

how trigger it when i click the button.

[tawdry karma]

interaction.response.send_modal(modal)

[slate swan]

never use this before

[tawdry karma]

How have you made your button?

[slate swan]

this will say that it aready recall

[naive briar]

No

If you haven't responded before

[slate swan]

i have button4_callback but the idea not here, the idea that how we gonna call modal without interaction

[tawdry karma]

This is responding to the button, not the command

[slate swan]

i need to respond before

[slate swan]

still will face same error

[naive briar]

Why

[slate swan]

ah sending something

[tawdry karma]

You should try it first lol

[slate swan]

message1 = await interaction.send("**CrossServer Chat StartUp**", embed=embed, view=myview, ephemeral=True)

[naive briar]

The interaction of the slash command and the button are different

[slate swan]

try it before like 10 times

[slate swan]

still give me same error

[tawdry karma]

I see

[slate swan]

no you not see

[naive briar]

Send the code then

[slate swan]

let em try again

[slate swan]

this should be the call back async def buttom4_callback(self): await asyncio.sleep(3) modal = Crosschat() interaction.response.send_modal(modal)

[tawdry karma]

^

[naive briar]

Await the send_modal

[slate swan]

like what is say

[slate swan]

try before too

[slate swan]

interaction.followup.send_modal(modal)?

[naive briar]

That doesn't exist

[tawdry karma]

mo

no sorry

@tawdry karma got any idea how fix it?

[tawdry karma]

reading

[naive briar]

Don't make buttons like this

And why is there a self argument in the button callbacks

Shouldn't it be interaction

[slate swan]

i can't still rewrite all my code

[tawdry karma]

That's what I am thinking

[slate swan]

hm

[tawdry karma]

waaaitt

[slate swan]

i was got an error of something and i look at google and it say put "self" and i put it lol

[tawdry karma]

Where is this located?

In your code

[slate swan]

find it here

[tawdry karma]

Oh yea

Yea I think it taking self works because it takes the interaction before it

[slate swan]

yep.

[tawdry karma]

This is harrdd

[slate swan]

but we need put interaction

i replace self with interaction

[vale wing]

Main mistake is that you have to use different method for background loops

!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").

If you wanted to sell hosting at 50p and have a profit of 10 pound, you would have to have a lot of users

20000/50=4000

[native lance]

An year ago or so, I heard that discord is forcing slash commands

so why do some bots still work the same way as before

like, I can still use a bot like this
k!info
Why

what was that fuss about

[naive briar]

What

[native lance]

I mean, normal commands were supposed to stop working werent they?

[naive briar]

No

[native lance]

so what was that about discord forcing slash commands

[naive briar]

They just make accessing messages' content a privileged intent

[native lance]

what does it mean

[native lance]

If i do
pip install discord.py will it automatically install discord.py 2 (I mean the version where slash commands are present)

[meager chasm]

You should prefer to use -U flag

!dashmpip

[unkempt canyon]

Install packages with `python -m pip`

When trying to install a package via pip, it's recommended to invoke pip as a module: python -m pip install your_package.

Why would we use python -m pip instead of pip?
Invoking pip as a module ensures you know which pip you're using. This is helpful if you have multiple Python versions. You always know which Python version you're installing packages to.

Note
The exact python command you invoke can vary. It may be python3 or py, ensure it's correct for your system.

[meager chasm]

So py -m pip install -U discord.py

i tried to make the code with task.loop but its not working infinity loop. could you guys please check the code and advice for me?

[slate swan]

thats not how you use tasks.loop

you should use .start() on you task

not with loop.create_task()

also task doesn't get ctx as an argument, it doesn't get any

in your command do self.cer.start()

and you can stop it using self.cer.cancel() or self.cer.stop()

hi

[blissful badge]

Hi needing some help with an embed command. I have made a ton of headway thanks to people (mudkip) here.

I am working on my final feature for this command which sends a preview of the embed into the channel that the command was issued in so the author can respond "yes" or "no" and if its yes it will post it to its destination channel, and if not it will stop the command entirely.

I am having an issue where it posts the preview embed but then based on yes or no responses it doesn't do anything....any ideas?

    @commands.command()
    async def embed(self, ctx):
        def check(message):
            return message.author == ctx.author and message.channel == ctx.channel

        await ctx.send('Waiting for a title')
        title = await self.bot.wait_for('message', check=check)
  
        await ctx.send('Waiting for a description')
        desc = await self.bot.wait_for('message', check=check)

        await ctx.send('Please provide me with the image (directly paste or attach image, no need for link) for this post, if no image is needed just say none.')
        news_image = await self.bot.wait_for("message", check=lambda m: all([
            m.author == ctx.author,
            m.channel == ctx.channel,
            len(m.attachments) == 1 or "none" in m.content.lower()
            ]))

        if news_image.attachments:
            embed.set_image(url=news_image.attachments[0].url)

        embed = discord.Embed(title=title.content, description=desc.content, color=0x1ABC9C)
        embed.set_thumbnail(url="https://imgur.com/MJnM3LU.png")

        await ctx.send('What channel should I send this in? Please provide me with the channel ID.\n- #news: 569635458183856149\n- #general-news: 803341100618219540\n- #patch-notes: 585952222853201941')
        dest = await self.bot.wait_for('message', check=check)

        role_message = await self.bot.wait_for('message', check=check)

        await ctx.send('What is the tag preview?')
        tag_preview = await self.bot.wait_for('message', check=check)

        await ctx.send('Does this look correct? Please say yes or no.')
        channel = self.bot.get_channel(1065685023853920258)
        await channel.send(embed=embed)
        await self.bot.wait_for('message', check=check) 
        if "yes" in ctx.message.content.lower():
            channel = self.bot.get_channel(int(dest.content))
            await channel.send(embed=embed)
            await channel.send(f"<@&{role_message.content}> - {tag_preview.content}")
        if "no" in ctx.message.content.lower():
            await channel.send('The embed has been cancelled, please try again.')

the issue code in question is the last bit which begins with "await ctx.send('Does this look correct?')"

[tawdry karma]

20000/1000=20
If you charge them £10 then you need 20 users

But that is a bit expensive

I feel that it is hard to start a hosting service and be succesful with it

[rotund creek]

i dont wanna be successfull from the start

[tawdry karma]

You could try get members to sign up first and then if you reach a certain member count then you launch

[rotund creek]

i can just do like $3 per month

but idk if anyone will trust a new business

[tawdry karma]

That is also a fair point

[raw quail]

yeah but i think i found a bog?

This has moved from discord bot discussion to a different topic so we should change channels

                    await channel.send(title, delete_after=10)
                else:
                    await channel.send(end, delete_after=10)

async def setup(bot):
    await bot.add_cog(Testings(bot))

when i use @tasks.loop and channel.history it's not working without any error codes. or it's just happening on my PC??

[slate swan]

I haven't seen a bug in dpy in that so I don't think so

[raw quail]

[slate swan]

thats probably because of intents or something elsse

[raw quail]

ohh

[slate swan]

are you sure the task is running at all

oh also

[raw quail]

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

[slate swan]

waiting until bot is ready in a task will dead lock

so your task won't go after that line

you should do this instead :

register a before_loop for your task using @name.before_loop (async function)
wait until ready in there

[raw quail]

    @tasks.loop(seconds=5, count=None, reconnect=True)
    async def cer(self):
        await self.bot.wait_until_ready()
        channel = self.bot.get_channel(channel_id)
        try:
            title = "test title"
            end = 'duplicate'
            async for msg in channel.history(limit=1):
                print('check')
                if title not in msg.content:
                    await channel.send(title, delete_after=10)
                else:
                    await channel.send(end, delete_after=10)

i tried to put print('check') before async for msg in channel.history(limit=1): and it's working but after async for msg in channel.history(limit=1): this line, it's not printing..

[slate swan]

thats wierd

[slate swan]

but consider this

[raw quail]

yes ser

[vale wing]

Whole VPS hosting or just dis bot hosting?

[slate swan]

this is kind of off topic for this channel

[vale wing]

Cause for VPS hosting you need a whole data center 😳

[raw quail]

    @cer.before_loop
    async def check(self):
        print('check')
        await self.bot.wait_until_ready()

it's working good

[vale wing]

What was your error again?

[vale wing]

Personally I would avoid those @before_loops and just add await self.bot.wait_until_ready() line at the beginning of the task

[raw quail]

yeah i tried but hmm.. i dunno what i did something wrong.

[vale wing]

Your problem was that you were assigning callbacks to individual components instead of subclassing. You need to either subclass View and define callbacks as its methods or use my callbacks-free implementation

[raw quail]

could you please check this code if you have free time. it's working before async for msg in channel.history(limit=1): when i check with print('check') . but after async for msg in channel.history(limit=1): this, it's not printing. trying to figure out but really hard 😦

[vale wing]

It's as simple as

class YourCog(Cog):
    def __init__(self, bot):
        self.bot = bot
        self.task.start()

    @tasks.loop(seconds=3)
    async def task(self):
        await self.bot.wait_until_ready()
        ...

And I am pretty sure there's almost same example on docs

[raw quail]

yeah thats why i made same as this code

[vale wing]

Subclassing way

# command
view = YourView()
await inter.send(view=view)

# view class
class YourView(discord.ui.View):
    @discord.ui.button(label="Cheese")
    async def cheese(self, inter, btn):  # signature might be different, I just don't know dpy

    async def pickle(self, inter, btn):
        await inter.send("You picked pickle!")

And with callbacks-free method

view = GenericView([
  GenericButton(label="Cheese"),
  GenericButton(label="Pickle")
])
await inter.send(view=view)
msg_inter, choice = await view.get_result()
await msg_inter.send(f"You picked {choice.lower()}!")

It's partially pseudocode

[cloud dawn]

Alright, alright, now the non subclassing way

[raw quail]

jesus i found a reason

i was trying to use history function to a thread not a channel

if i wanna use channel.history function, i should use while True:. if use @tasks.loop, it's not working with a thread

[naive briar]

What 🧐

[ebon island]

What is currently the best wrapper for Discord in Python?

I hear discord.py is revived, how is it compared to say Disnake? I am considering leaving Disnake because I was using WaveLink previously with Discord-Disnake but that is no longer maintained and Mafic seems a little limited at the present moment in terms of available functionality

[uneven apex]

NoneType: None

i am getting this error while creating a private category using my discord.py bot

is there any ways to find the title text of embed with channel.history ??

[naive briar]

Yes?

!d discord.Embed.title

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Embed.title

The title of the embed. This can be set during initialisation. Can only be up to 256 characters.

[raw quail]

i am trying to make a bot for detect old Embed message in text channel. but i think it's not possible to find text of title of old Embed message with channel.history function.

[hushed galleon]

what makes you think that? you're getting an entire message object when using history, so retrieving the title should work the same as with any other message

[raw quail]

Ohhhhh

Thank you so much sir!!

[smoky sinew]

async for message in channel.history(limit=50):
    for embed in message.embeds:
        print(embed.title)

or just do this

Formatting code on discord

Here's how to format Python code on Discord:

```py
print('Hello world!')
```

These are backticks, not quotes. Check this out if you can't find the backtick key.

For long code samples, you can use our pastebin.

[smoky sinew]

what is your code

[slate swan]

import discord
from discord_slash import SlashCommand, SlashContext
from discord_slash.utils.manage_commands import create_option
import aiohttp

bot = discord.Client(intents=discord.Intents.default())
slash = SlashCommand(bot, sync_commands=True)

async def fetch_image_url(session, url):
    async with session.get(url) as response:
        data = await response.json()
        return data['data']['url']

@slash.slash(name="sadcat",
             description="Generates a sad cat meme with the provided text.",
             options=[
                 create_option(

bot.run('TOKEN')

there @slate swan

[glad cradle]

bruh

discord_slash

[hushed galleon]

^ @slate swan ive linked an example, guide, and docs here, assuming you're using discord.py 2.0

[smoky sinew]

discord_slash is really outdated

also don't just code someone's bot for them, that won't teach them anything

[placid skiff]

Someone knows how to solve this error?

[smoky sinew]

what do your options look like

[glad cradle]

haha good look to find the command where this is happening

[placid skiff]

options of what? slash commands?

[smoky sinew]

yes

[placid skiff]

they doesn't even have it xD

[glad cradle]

do you have function docstrings?

[placid skiff]

they have parameters in the command function, but not as CommandOption parameter

[placid skiff]

yup

[glad cradle]

ahah

[placid skiff]

Time to remove them xD

[glad cradle]

discord.py or whatever you're using is parsing function's docstrings and using them as descriptions

[smoky sinew]

disnake

[glad cradle]

disnake my beloved

[unkempt canyon]

Hey @proven venture!

It looks like you tried to attach a Python file - please use a code-pasting service such as https://paste.pythondiscord.com

[smoky sinew]

read what the bot said

[merry cliff]

!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.

[smoky sinew]

your issue is that you are doing embeds=embed1 though

[proven venture]

yes......

[smoky sinew]

embeds is supposed to be a list

not an embed

you need to do embed=embed1

[proven venture]

TypeError: _Context.send() got an unexpected keyword argument 'embed'

embed was replaced by embeds I guess

[smoky sinew]

no it was not

not in discord.py anyway

maybe in interactions

try embeds=[embed1]

[proven venture]

AttributeError: 'Embed' object has no attribute '_json'

going through all possible errors

[smoky sinew]

what is your new code

why are you using interactions anyway

[proven venture]

the same just withawait ctx.send(embeds=[embed1])

[proven venture]

dc py 2.0?

[smoky sinew]

yes

[proven venture]

I will but since I wrote the whole code in interactions I have no motivation changing it to dc py 2.0

[proven venture]

so no solution?

[tough mirage]

[smoky sinew]

why not just use a ChannelSelect

select = ChannelSelect(channel_types=options, placeholder='Select channel(s)', min_values=1, max_values=len(channels))```

[smoky sinew]

view is supposed to be a View object, not a select

[slate swan]

so view.add_item(select) if view = View()?

thought that was only for buttons

[smoky sinew]

i mean, you tried passing the select to the view argument

but yeah

[unkempt canyon]

:incoming_envelope: :ok_hand: applied ban to @young geode permanently.

[wise jewel]

thanks!

[smoky sinew]

channel_types is not for the options

actually i'm not sure if you can select the options using ChannelSelect, you might only be able to select the types

e.g. text, voice, stage

so that might not be what you want

[slate swan]

what I want is to list all textchannels (channel is an instance of discord.TextChannel) and iterate over them and put them in the select menu. The user can select as many as len(channels) but a min of 1

[grand hazel]

how to use the permission join server for you in a diacord bot?

[slate swan]

what

[grand hazel]

you know the discord permission "join server for you"

how to use it to make people that accepted the permission join a server that i want

[smoky sinew]

yeah just set channel_types to [ChannelType.text]

and remove your loop

[slate swan]

you mean auth joining?

[grand hazel]

ye

[slate swan]

idk if thats against rules here lmao

[grand hazel]

if it is against the rules why would discord allow it lol

[slate swan]

you need a good understanding of python to do it

or just ask gpt

[naive briar]

Anything but chatgpt

[grand hazel]

it gets the work done tho

[grand hazel]

okay

[slate swan]

50/50 helps me organise code better

[naive briar]

How did you come to the point where you need ChatGPT to organize your code

[slate swan]

its faster to type code when you're not organising it. my brain just writes and then I use chatgpt to organise my code. its pretty productive and efficient

[grand hazel]

lmao bruh he just send me this
await member.send(f"Here's your invite link for {guild.name}: {invite.url}")

"ai's gonna rule the world" 💀

[slate swan]

"your task is to allow users that click on an oauth link to give access to your discord bot to join servers for them"

[grand hazel]

okay wait

[slate swan]

idk try that

[grand hazel]

same result lol

[smoky sinew]

https://discord.com/developers/docs/resources/guild#add-guild-member

@grand hazel

once you've authenticated the user, send a PUT request to /guilds/<guild>/members/<member>

[slate swan]

after submitting the text channels, it says "interaction failed" here's my code: https://paste.pythondiscord.com/usuhonicap

[smoky sinew]

because you have no callback?

what did you expect to happen

there is no such event as "select_option"

[grand hazel]

how to fetch the <member> tho?

[slate swan]

oh my...

[smoky sinew]

it's just the member id

[slate swan]

theres an event for that??

[smoky sinew]

no such event

[grand hazel]

oohh

[slate swan]

my fault i misread

how do I create a callback for it?

[smoky sinew]

just create a new class extending View and use the select decorator

[ebon island]

What package is currently the best for Discord in Python?

I hear discord.py is revived, how is it compared to say Disnake?

I am considering leaving Disnake because I was using WaveLink previously with Discord-Disnake but that is no longer maintained and Mafic seems a little limited at the present moment in terms of available functionality so I definitely want one that works well with some sort of LavaLink wrapper, preferably one that is full featured, any info/thoughts definitely appreciated 🙂

[smoky sinew]

i use discord.py

or hikari 😁

[ebon island]

How is dpy after the restart? I have only just started hearing about Hikari, how is support and is there a good Lavalink wrapper for it?

[fading marlin]

aren't lavalink wrappers completely independent from the library you're using?

[ebon island]

Yes, but not all are compatible with the given library

Wavelink for example is not compatible with Disnake

which is why I'm looking for potential alternatives to Disnake

[fading marlin]

dpy is quite complete 🤷

[ebon island]

hmm, alright, I guess in the coming days I'll make the change over to dpy and see how it goes

[slate swan]

any suggestions for oauth2 and flask? I just wanna get each users twitch connections, add it to a db and then send a req to decapi to get each usernames twitch_id. its for a sqlalchemy db ;.;

[supple cradle]

Hello 👋 I am currently working on a Discord bot because I haven't worked on one in a while now and thought it would be fun. I am currently trying to implement cogs into my bot but whenever I try to use a command that is from a file inside the cogs folder it says that there is no such command...

Any help would be appreciated

Please ping me if you know how to assist me

[vocal snow]

Can you show how you're loading the cogs?

[supple cradle]

Yes

I opened up a new file and did the same thing and now its working

so idk whats up with that old file

import discord
from discord.ext import commands
from discord import app_commands
from colorama import Back, Fore, Style
import time
import platform

class Client(commands.Bot):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__(command_prefix=commands.when_mentioned_or('s!'), intents=discord.Intents().all())

        self.cogslist = ["cogs.startup"]

    async def setup_hook(self):
      for ext in self.cogslist:
        await self.load_extension(ext)

    async def on_ready(self):
        prfx = (Back.BLACK + Fore.GREEN + time.strftime("%H:%M:%S UTC", time.gmtime()) + Back.RESET + Fore.WHITE + Style.BRIGHT)

        print(prfx + " Logged in as " + Fore.YELLOW + self.user.name)
        print(prfx + " Bot ID " + Fore.YELLOW + str(self.user.id))
        print(prfx + " Discord Version " + Fore.YELLOW + discord.__version__)
        print(prfx + " Python Version " + Fore.YELLOW + str(platform.python_version()))


client = Client()
client.run('TOKEN')

import discord
from discord.ext import commands
import os
import asyncio

client = commands.Bot(command_prefix = "!", intents=discord.Intents.all())
client.remove_command('help')

async def load_extensions():
        for f in os.listdir("./cogs"):
                if f.endswith(".py"):
                        await client.load_extension("cogs." + f[:-3])
        
async def main():
    async with client:
        await load_extensions()
        await client.start('TOKEN')

asyncio.run(main())

I also tried this way as well

both didn't work in that file and now I am in a new one and I am using the second version of the code

[vocal snow]

And can you show one of your cogs?

[supple cradle]

For sure

import discord
import os
from discord.ext import commands


class startupCog(commands.Cog):
    def __init__(self, client):
        self.client = client

        @commands.Cog.listener()
        async def on_ready(self):
            print('Bot is up and running!')

        @commands.command(name="Test", description="Sends a test response.")
        async def test(self, ctx):
            await ctx.send('Working!')

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

[vocal snow]

Are the normal prefix commands working?

[supple cradle]

nothing from the cog is working

only from the main.py file

[vocal snow]

And you aren't getting any errors?

[supple cradle]

Nope

only error I am getting is when I type a command

it says that the command doesn't exist

[vale wing]

@supple cradle could you please show your files hierarchy

[supple cradle]

hierarchy?

The order?

[vale wing]

File structure, like this

(i am losing braincells with next.js don't pay attention)

[supple cradle]

Like this?

[vale wing]

Yeah you should open specifically Saturn-Bot folder in VSC, most likely your extensions path is just not resolved correctly due to wrong workdir

[supple cradle]

Okay, I usually do that anyway I just thought you wanted me to open it like that

Got it open

[vale wing]

No I mean when running a script your project root folder should be Saturn-Bot

Now try running it

[supple cradle]

Alright

Trying it now

[vale wing]

Could you show what command runs it

[supple cradle]

Here

I run s!test

[vale wing]

I mean command line command

Should be like your/path> py main.py

[supple cradle]

oh ok

I am on mac so it's python3 main.py

let me send a ss

May look long but my mac name is the alphabet lol

I'll change it for better reading

[supple cradle]

/Users/zekepetherick/Desktop/Home/Projects/Python/Saturn-Bot/main.py

[vale wing]

[glad cradle]

bros leaking bobux website 😳

[vale wing]

😳

[shrewd apex]

what are u using for front end vanilla or some framework?

[vale wing]

Are you on mac or linux

[supple cradle]

Mac

[vale wing]

Now please screenshot file hierarchy again

[vale wing]

Next.js is based on react I think

[supple cradle]

this?

[vale wing]

Yeah

[supple cradle]

ok

[vale wing]

Your root folder still isn't Saturn-Bot

[supple cradle]

still doesnt work that way

[vale wing]

File -> Open Folder -> Saturn-Bot

[supple cradle]

done

still not work

[slate swan]

I liked that yellow name

[glad cradle]

he could also use absolute paths for the cogs, can't he?

[glad cradle]

sigh you're a booster at least

[slate swan]

Forgot

[drifting arrow]

What am I doing wrong?
I have a button:

@discord.ui.button(label="Add note", style=discord.ButtonStyle.green, row=0)
    async def add_note(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, button: discord.ui.Button):
        note_ui = Note()
        note_ui.bmid = self.original_ids.bmid
        print(self.original_ids)
        print(self.original_ids.bmid)
        print(note_ui.bmid)
        await interaction.response.send_modal(Note())

And that button calls a modal:

class Note(discord.ui.Modal, title='Gnomeslayers note maker.'):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()

    bmid = 0
    note = discord.ui.TextInput(
        label='Note for this users profile',
        style=discord.TextStyle.long,
        placeholder='Type the note here.',
        required=True,
    )

Why is the bmid not updating? It works for my buttons? D:

[glad cradle]

wrong indentation levels

[drifting arrow]

no.

That's just how it pastes

nvm figured it out LOL

i think.

Yep.

I didn't realize I was submitting the base class and not the variable await interaction.response.send_modal(Note()) needed to be await interaction.response.send_modal(note_ui)

[viral stump]

My bot's FFMPEG is not working for some reason, is there a bug right now?

[slate swan]

youtube downloader/player?

[viral stump]

nope, on my discord bot

bot was working perfectly but for some reason it doesnt play any ffmpeg file now. i havent touched anything

[slate swan]

ffmpeg is a media downloader/player

[viral stump]

yeah, it supposed be play a m4a file, thats it

[slate swan]

oh ive never seen someone usd it in that way... always in a music bot that plays off youtube

[viral stump]

but weird one is there is not any error or something, bot joins vc and just stands like that

[vocal snow]

Can you show your code?

[deft quartz]

I have a select menu where i have 46 options in 6 different categories. Is there any way to do this? I know the select menu has a limit of 25 and the rows have a limit of 5 so i cannot do that with the categories either

[viral stump]

okay, i will send main one and config one

        # Basically this just calls `kick_member_and_disconnect`
        asyncio.run_coroutine_threadsafe(kick_member_and_disconnect(), bot.loop)

you should handle the error in this callback instead of ignoring it

e parameter is Optional[Exception]

[slate swan]

yo. could i possibly get some help with an error pls

[viral stump]

i ll check it after game, ty for now

[slate swan]

initially got this error - 'Bot' object has no attribute 'tree' so i made a tree with app_commands from discord.py but now this error occurred ImportError: cannot import name 'AppCommandOptionType' from 'discord.enums'

pls help i'm legit stuck with this for about 2 days now 😭

[vocal snow]

are you sure you don't have any other libraries installed like py-cord

also make sure discord.py is up to date; python -m pip install -U discord.py

[slate swan]

oh

[slate swan]

its on the latest version so that most probably shouldn't be a problem

[slate swan]

uninstalled pycord and nextcord too. still got the same error 😭

[vocal snow]

can you show the full traceback?

Do you have any files called discord.py?

[slate swan]

[slate swan]

nope

[vocal snow]

are you sure you uninstalled py-cord and not pycord

[slate swan]

one sec, will check 🤧

nope, still won't work

uninstalled py-cord too

would u suggesting downgrading to a lower version?

[vocal snow]

no

run pip list and send the output here

[slate swan]

alright. one sec

[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.

[strong knoll]

Hey guys, How to get ID of someone in discord.py I am trying to do ban command via ID

[slate swan]

mb

[slate swan]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/utahezajuz

[vocal snow]

looks like you have discord and discord.py installed which might be conflicting

you should uninstall the first one

[strong knoll]

anyone?

[slate swan]

which should i uninstall?

[vocal snow]

Please elaborate, specifically whose ID are you trying to find?

[strong knoll]

Id of user

[vocal snow]

which user?

[strong knoll]

that I am going to ban

[slate swan]

do you've a ban command? 👁️

[strong knoll]

?

[vocal snow]

and how will the code know which user that is?

Are you mentioning the user in a command?

[strong knoll]

No

[vocal snow]

Or accepting their ID as a parameter?

[strong knoll]

yeah

[vocal snow]

so are you asking how you can get a user id from the discord app?

[strong knoll]

yeah

.ban (user id)

[slate swan]

no way i'm still getting the same error 😭

i uninstalled discord module too

[vocal snow]

Settings > Advanced > Developer Mode, then right click the user and Copy ID

[vocal snow]

try uninstalling discord.py too

and run your code

[strong knoll]

Not that

[slate swan]

pretty sure u can just pass the id as an argument for the ban command

[strong knoll]

How to get that ID to work.

ah nvm

[vocal snow]

You need to be more specific with your question;
Are you trying to figure out how to add a user id parameter to the command? Or how to ban a user from their ID?

[slate swan]

async def  ban(ctx):
    print(ctx.message.author.id)```

anyways getting back to my error

[strong knoll]

tthanks

[strong knoll]

nvm It didn't work

I have something like that:
async def ban(ctx, member_id: int, *, reason=None):
print(member_id)
member = member_id
if member_id is not None:
await member.ban(reason=reason)
embed = discord.Embed(title="Ban", description="Sucessful Ban")
embed.add_field(name="User", value=f"Member: {member} Id: {member_id}")
embed.add_field(name="Reason", value=reason)
await ctx.send(embed)
await client.get_channel(1073532895731400777).send(embed)
else:
await ctx.send("Something went wrong.")

I try using

.ban (user id) (reason)

and it didn't work

[vocal snow]

that's not how python works

[strong knoll]

then how it shall be

[vocal snow]

member = member_id doesn't automatically convert a user id to a Member object

[slate swan]

that just prints the user id

[vocal snow]

you need to use ctx.guild.get_member / fetch_member to retrieve the corresponding Member object

generally you can just typehint the parameter to discord.Member

or discord.User

async def ban(ctx, member: discord.Member, *, reason: str | None = None):
    ...

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/commands.html#discord-converters

[strong knoll]

So I want to ban members using ID, can you write me that code

[vocal snow]

that is the code

[vocal snow]

read this to see how converters work

[slate swan]

😭

[vocal snow]

did you uninstall discord.py?

[slate swan]

yes

same error yet again

[vocal snow]

and does it give you an ImportError now?

[slate swan]

i uninstalled py-cord, nextcord, discord, discord.py

all of it

[vocal snow]

are you sure? can you send the traceback?

[slate swan]

one sec

[vocal snow]

if it's the same error even after uninstall the library then it looks like you have a misconfigured environment

[slate swan]

[slate swan]

maybe conda messed up my env

[vocal snow]

what does py -V give you?

[slate swan]

Python 3.11.2

[vocal snow]

and py -m pip show discord.py?

[slate swan]

2.2.0a4685+g82b12ba4

there are no active conda environments either

[vocal snow]

didn't you uninstall it?

what does py -m pip list give you?

[slate swan]

i did, yet it shows that

even after uninstalling pip show discord.py show's the version 😭

[slate swan]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/ifexicuzek

Uninstall didcordpy-interactions

[vocal snow]

your pip command is bound to some different interpreter; make sure to use py -m pip from now on, or reconfigure your environment to use the correct interpreter

[slate swan]

alright

[slate swan]

oh damn, will check, just a sec

[vocal snow]

as well as py-cord

[slate swan]

alright, I'll try re-configuring the environment

thanks a bunch,

[vocal snow]

you also might want to consider using venvs in the future

[slate swan]

i should've done that fr

Yeah that's a lot of modules

funnily i set it up in a codespace and it worked 😭

tysm tho guys

at least got this issue fixed for once

will use conda in the future

[robust fulcrum]

Guys i want that my discord.py takes input from user for 20 seconds and stops after 20 seconds and if user send input , it should not stop taking input
How can I do that?

[vale wing]

In what form do you want to send input

[robust fulcrum]

I want to take input

[vale wing]

How

[robust fulcrum]

I mean text input

[vale wing]

Wait for user to send message / send modal

[robust fulcrum]

Send message

[vale wing]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.wait_for

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.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**...

[robust fulcrum]

It will stop after taking input?

[naive briar]

It stops after it gets an event that passed the check

[robust fulcrum]

I want to do like bot takes input for 20 seconds if user send hi then it will again take input and till user don't send hello it should take input, how to do that?

[naive briar]

Or timing out

[shrewd apex]

use a modal over event any day

[robust fulcrum]

Is it possible to add check for it?

[naive briar]

Did you look at its docs

Because it would immediately answer that question

[robust fulcrum]

Ok I'll see

[slate swan]

there is the timeout kwarg, it will wait until the timeout and if finds the message it stops else it raises asyncio.TimeoutError so you should wrap it in try/except

but as asher said using a modal is a better way to get input from user

Can someone please dm me? I'm having an issue with my bot where the unlock command overwrites private channels

[potent spear]

agreed, since I feel like your "request / reply" is like some sort of form you have to fill in

[potent spear]

more eyes see more bugs, it's preferred to show everything in help channels

[slate swan]

Ive tried that but it got archived bc no one answered

[potent spear]

then that's probably because of the way you ask your question

make sure everything the bot asks (first message in a thread) is answered

[slate swan]

my question met all the requirements the bot had put in the thread

alright ill try again

guys how get ID of server owner not the server that i do a command a server that i enter there ID

any one know?

[potent spear]

you have the guild object, right?

[slate swan]

i have guild ID

[potent spear]

so you just want the owner's user ID of the guild where a command was used?

if so, and you're using a "normal command"
it's ctx.guild.owner.id

[slate swan]

where a commnand without used

[potent spear]

rephrase your question and explain the use case

[slate swan]

ik that code i like ex: i rn enter server Id that not the server that i In rn I want get the owner ID of this Server THat I enter it ID

[potent spear]

aight

your bot is in that server, right? else you can't access it

[slate swan]

yes 100% yes how run a bot command without a bot 💀

[potent spear]

you first get the guild object by using get_guild()
then you just use .owner on that guild object to get the owner's member/user object

[slate swan]

did that!

[potent spear]

proof?

[slate swan]

aH?

serverIDofOther = bot.get_guild(self.name.value)

what i do next
