[fiery salmon]

U could always use a shortner

[zealous jay]

maybe

[fiery salmon]

https://bitly.com/
U can choose the link, such as mine is bitly.com/mybotsname

[outer parcel]

Hi hope everyone is doing well im trying to create a welcome message whenever someone joins server, i know how to create this and i created it like i usually do ,

but whenever someone joins nothing happens at all

ofc i checked my intents but my intents were all enabled so im confused to as why the bot is not picking up whenever someone joins

[fiery salmon]

ur intents is enabled, ok.
do u have ur intents set in ur main.py file too?

[outer parcel]

yes

this is my client initialisation code

[zealous jay]

url shorteners dont seem to work with these type of urls

[outer parcel]

noramlly this code works perfectly whenever i run with other bots

[zealous jay]

I guess I'll have to use the long url

[hushed galleon]

depends on the library, in discord.py you'd use the tasks.loop(time=) argument
seems nextcord has it too, but assumes naive datetimes are in UTC

[outer parcel]

you can hyperlink a text

[here](your_link_goes_here)

so if you want to hyperlink https://youtube.com

[outer parcel]

nvm

[zealous jay]

haha

[outer parcel]

i never read that mb

[zealous jay]

its okay, thanks

[outer parcel]

What is problem with having https

[zealous jay]

its not a website

its an url that opens a server on a game

[fiery salmon]

Yes.. but that loop would restart if bot restarts, yes?
I want it to run exactly at 00:00 and 12:00

[outer parcel]

oh

[hushed galleon]

thats the point of the time argument, it sleeps until said time is reached

[outer parcel]

im not sure on how to do that sorry

[outer parcel]

im not sure why the bot cant pickup joins

[fiery salmon]

ooo O_O ok, bet, ill try that out, ty

[zealous jay]

no problem

[hushed galleon]

seems to have been a discord limitation for a while
https://github.com/discord/discord-api-docs/discussions/3347#discussioncomment-952952

[elder kettle]

Whats the problem here

[outer parcel]

Can anyone help me with my issue

[elder kettle]

Explain

[hushed galleon]

can you show the rest of your code? the problem might be somewhere else

!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.

[elder kettle]

Your about me reminds me of michael jackson

And your every linked account have same name

[zealous jay]

thats what i thought, thanks

[outer parcel]

its in this message

[outer parcel]

here

[elder kettle]

Whats the terminal output

[cold sonnet]

maan

[outer parcel]

nothing

[elder kettle]

Maybe share your whole command

[cold sonnet]

don't change_presence on_ready

[outer parcel]

that is why i put print()

[outer parcel]

ive heard too many people tell em that lol

[outer parcel]

ok

[cold sonnet]

lemme get that tag

[cold sonnet]

Don't change_presence (or make API calls) in on_ready within your Bot or Client.
Discord has a high chance to completely disconnect you during the READY or GUILD_CREATE events (1006 close code) and there is nothing you can do to prevent it.

Instead set the activity and status kwargs in the constructor of these Classes.

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="!", activity=..., status=...)

As noted in the docs, on_ready is also triggered multiple times, not just once.

Basically: don't 👏 do 👏 shit 👏 in 👏 on_ready.

[elder kettle]

[outer parcel]

ok ill try changing tthat

[naive briar]

Which client are you really using

[elder kettle]

Did you tried channel id

[cold sonnet]

dunno why everyone does the same shit in on_ready

is this in a youtube tutorial

[outer parcel]

its not a problem with that

if you look i said at beginningprint("someone joined"

but nothing is printed meaning bot does not realise someone joined

[elder kettle]

Try putting commands.Client maybe just MAYBE it will help idk

[naive briar]

Why did they make the event if they don't want anyone to use it

[elder kettle]

Im not much familier

[naive briar]

I've always been wondering

[smoky sinew]

should i use == or is on ChannelType?

[cold sonnet]

you use it for like a print

[naive briar]

@outer parcel show the whole code then it'd be clearer

[cold sonnet]

but you'll see over a couple days that it's printed multiple times

[outer parcel]

calm

[cold sonnet]

no....

[elder kettle]

Yeah

I knew

No wonder

Oops, forgor to turn off reply

[cold sonnet]

he forgor

[outer parcel]

if u say guild id

[naive briar]

Why did you init a client instance twice

You're overriding the variable

[outer parcel]

oh

OHHHH

I JUST REALISED im acc dumb

[hushed galleon]

both will work in this case as long as you're comparing the enum member itself, which is basically a necessity for a regular Enum subclass
where it does matter is if its a mixin for another class like IntEnum, and you're attempting to compare an instance of a different type ```py

class MyEnum(enum.IntEnum):
... FIRST = 1
...
MyEnum.FIRST is MyEnum.FIRST, MyEnum.FIRST == MyEnum.FIRST
(True, True)
MyEnum.FIRST is 1, MyEnum.FIRST == 1
(False, True)```

[outer parcel]

ty so much

[smoky sinew]

i see

[fading egret]

@app_commands.command(
        name="test",
        description="test")
    async def test(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):
        data = range(1, 20)
        pagination_view = PaginationView()
        pagination_view.data = data
        await pagination_view.send(interaction) ```

```py
    async def send(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):
        self.message = await interaction.followup.send("test")

discord.app_commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command 'paginate' raised an exception: NotFound: 404 Not Found (error code: 10015): Unknown Webhook

have i made an error in the constructor of the send function?
does it not find the interaction?

[smoky sinew]

you didn't defer it first

you have to defer it to send a follow up, or just use interaction.response.send_message

[slate swan]

Also the error points to paginate command and you show the test command code

[fading egret]

but then the send_message() doesnt return a message to edit it

[smoky sinew]

use Interaction.original_response i think

If the interaction response was a newly created message (i.e. through InteractionResponse.send_message() or InteractionResponse.defer(), where thinking is True) then this returns the message that was sent using that response. Otherwise, this returns the message that triggered the interaction (i.e. through a component).

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.Interaction.original_response

[fading egret]

aright thank you very much

[solar quail]

        await message.channel.send(embed=trivia_embed)

for some reason its not responding without errors

[slate swan]

Then what are the errors

[solar quail]

there isn't any

[slate swan]

You said there are

[solar quail]

i said without

without errors

[slate swan]

you put not before it

[pliant gulch]

Try putting on message intents both via gateway & the bot constructor

[solar quail]

thank you

[slate swan]

Yeah you need message_content intent enabled

!d discord.Intents.message_content

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Intents.message\_content

Whether message content, attachments, embeds and components will be available in messages which do not meet the following criteria:

• The message was sent by the client

• The message was sent in direct messages

• The message mentions the client

This applies to the following events...

[solar quail]

import os
import discord
import requests
import json
import random

intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.members = True
intents.nessages = True

client = discord.Client(intents=intents)

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

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

    if message.content.startswith('!trivia'):
        response = requests.get("https://opentdb.com/api.php?amount=1&type=multiple")
        data = json.loads(response.text)
        question = data['results'][0]['question']
        answers = data['results'][0]['incorrect_answers'] + [data['results'][0]['correct_answer']]
        random.shuffle(answers)

        trivia_embed = discord.Embed(title="Trivia", description=question, color=discord.Color.blue())
        trivia_embed.add_field(name="Options:", value="\n".join(answers), inline=False)

        await message.channel.send(embed=trivia_embed)

so would this work?

[fading egret]

yeah i tried but the edit and the send arent in the same fuctions

so i need to define in a way the message so i can edit it in another function

[slate swan]

message_content not nessages

[solar quail]

oh oops lol

ok so it responds to the start command but stops after that

[fading egret]

any1 has an idea?

!d discord.Interaction.edit_original_response

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Interaction.edit\_original\_response

await edit_original_response(*, content=..., embeds=..., embed=..., attachments=..., view=..., allowed_mentions=None)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Edits the original interaction response message.

This is a lower level interface to [`InteractionMessage.edit()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.InteractionMessage.edit "discord.InteractionMessage.edit") in case you do not want to fetch the message and save an HTTP request.

This method is also the only way to edit the original message if the message sent was ephemeral.

[solar quail]

its not responding after the initial question

[smoky sinew]

function argument?

[tall temple]

i want to attribute to the file name the guild id where the command will be executed

[outer parcel]

Ok im creating a level up command and everything works only problem is

i searched up problem and i assumed i needed to do await client.process_commands()
but this did not work since process_command is not a thing anymore?

how would i do this now

[smoky sinew]

it is, can you show your code

it's discord.ext.commands.Bot.process_commands

[stone palm]

can someone tell me why my background task loop doesnt work? https://paste.pythondiscord.com/noqujojeca

it does not print anything after 5 for some reason```py
print("5")
channel=guild.get_thread(approved_papers_channel)
print("a")

no errors

[tall temple]

hm ?

[slate swan]

[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.

[slate swan]

on windows its usually py -m

instead of python -m

[tall temple]

thx it just worked for me

🫂

[vapid grove]

Is there a specific function that waits for user to click the button before proceeding?

[hushed galleon]

from a view? sure, use .stop() in the callback and .wait() to wait for the view to stop/timeout

[thin raft]

can you remove these logs?

[fading egret]

which is the best sql database for a discord bot?

[smoky sinew]

postgres or sqlite if your bot is small

it comes down to personal preference really @fading egret

[fading egret]

alright, thank you

[outer parcel]

what are parameters

because it is asking me for them

[cold sonnet]

leave out message=

and use client instead of commands.Bot

[outer parcel]

i did this

[cold sonnet]

actually client doesn't have commands unless you did client = commands.Bot() in the beginning of your code

[outer parcel]

i never

hence why i used commands.Bot

[cold sonnet]

yeah use client instead of commands.Bot

[outer parcel]

i tried

but client.process_commands() is not a thing

[cold sonnet]

you need an object to call process_commands on

[outer parcel]

for my code

[cold sonnet]

show me the line with client =

[outer parcel]

message?

[cold sonnet]

so you defined client twice...

[outer parcel]

i defined client in beginning

then redefined it after it has got ready

[cold sonnet]

you don't need client = commands.Bot() at all

check this out

[outer parcel]

o

[cold sonnet]

!e

variable = "Hello"
variable = "World!" 
print(variable) ```

[unkempt canyon]

@cold sonnet :white_check_mark: Your 3.11 eval job has completed with return code 0.

World!

[outer parcel]

i see

[cold sonnet]

setting variable to "Hello" did nothing

👍🏿

[outer parcel]

how does it fix this thou

[cold sonnet]

since client doesn't have commands

cuz it can't have commands

you don't need to process commands

[smoky sinew]

not literally

you need a Bot instance

[smoky sinew]

again, await client.process_commands(message)

[smoky sinew]

if you saw their code above you would see their client variable is commands.Bot

[cold sonnet]

if you saw their code he redefined it

[outer parcel]

i need to process

[smoky sinew]

sure, that's not what they're intending to do

[cold sonnet]

you're telling me he made a commands.Bot instance and proceeded to subclass discord.Client to use that subclass in the same code

[outer parcel]

if i try client.process_commands()

[cold sonnet]

I mean it's possible since run is a coroutine since 2.0

probably slow af

[smoky sinew]

do you have commands in your bot

[cold sonnet]

slash commands

[outer parcel]

These are all my code related to client

[outer parcel]

yes

[cold sonnet]

those aren't message commands

technically they're not messages

[smoky sinew]

prefix commands

message commands are the context menu commands you get when right-clicking a message

like with sir lancebot

[outer parcel]

o

[cold sonnet]

thanks

[outer parcel]

i assume i do

but actually no command is appearing

[cold sonnet]

since when can you make stuff like that

[smoky sinew]

they are technically slash commands internally

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

[cold sonnet]

definitely not in your discord.Client subclass...

[outer parcel]

so how would i fix?

[smoky sinew]

@outer parcel decide if you want prefix commands (e.g. !help) in your bot

[outer parcel]

no

[smoky sinew]

remove process_commands and remove this part:

[cold sonnet]

man put a yellow thumbsup so it's not just my black thumbsup reaction

[outer parcel]

ok

ty

i got this error

[cold sonnet]

show command

[outer parcel]

i think it has to do with this inside of level command

paste the traceback too

[outer parcel]

thing is

[outer parcel]

i can run levle command once then if i try using it again it gives that error

ye so i found error

its only wrong with this level command because im using async with client.db.cursor() as cursor

[cold sonnet]

I'd suggest closing that async with statement as soon as you don't use your database anymore

but I don't actually know why you get that error

[outer parcel]

how would i close

im not this acquainted with it

[cold sonnet]

that would mean deindenting the try-except

and everything below

[outer parcel]

tried that

same error

it seems that coroutine can not be reused

[slate swan]

Hey, im trying to make modlogs & its giving me this error with webhooks.

mudkip what is problem here

[slate swan]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/enodekigad

[smoky sinew]

what

what even is this

you are trying to send buttons though

[slate swan]

no

[smoky sinew]

yes you are

you're creating an empty view and then passing it to be sent to the webhook

[slate swan]

hm

[smoky sinew]

webhooks cannot send views

because they have no way of receiving interactions from them

even URL buttons i'm pretty sure

[slate swan]

hm. i see

[outer parcel]

im still having problem

if i run command it works

but if i run it again it does not

because it is repeating the command again for same image

[worthy pebble]

what is the application/website that creates bots through Python?

[tender mantle]

i have noticed i can't link to an .ico files for the avatar_url in an embed, is there a way to get around that?

[hushed galleon]

webhooks created by the bot actually can, its pretty dope

[vivid axle]

does anyone know a way i can get a list of commands, im using discord.py

in the code not discord

i found

bot.commands

[latent sonnet]

!e print("test")

[unkempt canyon]

@latent sonnet :white_check_mark: Your 3.11 eval job has completed with return code 0.

test

[vivid axle]

does anyone know how i can organise commands into separate files like discord.js?

[oblique axle]

use cogs

[naive briar]

It's called extension

[vivid axle]

i have cogs

[smoky sinew]

then why'd you ask

they meant extensions though

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

[vivid axle]

but i meant to put each command in a file

would i make a cog for each command

[oblique axle]

You can import the file with cog

Then add the cog

[smoky sinew]

no

that's not really good practice

[vivid axle]

ok

[smoky sinew]

you should have multiple commands in one cog

[vivid axle]

im only starting discord.py

[smoky sinew]

please stop

you are being misleading

[vivid axle]

thank you mud kip

[oblique axle]

Sorry

[smoky sinew]

you shouldn't import cogs that's what extensions are for in the first place

[vivid axle]

sorry i just did discord.js before and i was wondering if it was posible

[white peak]

this channel is for asking some questions right

[smoky sinew]

yes

[white peak]

so uh

[vivid axle]

your pfp is cute

[white peak]

i did a code thats like uh
if message.content.startswith('!hello'):
await message.channel.send('Hello!')
but the bot dont respond(its online)

[vivid axle]

it needs message content intent

right?

[naive briar]

Yes?

!d discord.Intents.message_content

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Intents.message\_content

Whether message content, attachments, embeds and components will be available in messages which do not meet the following criteria:

• The message was sent by the client

• The message was sent in direct messages

• The message mentions the client

This applies to the following events...

[vivid axle]

:O

[smoky sinew]

good job

[white peak]

what happened

[mossy bluff]

is your bot in 100+ servers?

im assuming not

[white peak]

a

[white peak]

it means when its in 100 server it needs verify but not need when its not

thats what i thought

[mossy bluff]

yeah and its not in 100+ right

[white peak]

yea

not in 100+

[mossy bluff]

ok

[smoky sinew]

you didn't enable it

you have to enable it with code

[mossy bluff]

oh yeah

[white peak]

how

[smoky sinew]

!d discord.Intents.message_content

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Intents.message\_content

Whether message content, attachments, embeds and components will be available in messages which do not meet the following criteria:

• The message was sent by the client

• The message was sent in direct messages

• The message mentions the client

This applies to the following events...

[smoky sinew]

set this to True

[mossy bluff]

    intents = discord.Intents.default()
    intents.message_content = True
    client = discord.Client(intents=intents)```

[smoky sinew]

still you're assuming that he's using default intents

[mossy bluff]

yeah he might not be

[white peak]

naw

my stuff lagged

hol on

[mossy bluff]

@white peak wait arent you in my bots server?

[white peak]

oh yea im using default

[mossy bluff]

it will work then

[white peak]

wha

[mossy bluff]

the yba bot server

i own that server lol

oh

you own that

yeah

[white peak]

nice

Does anyone know discord.py well?

i found code on github who can try run it i need it for my business

ican pay

[jagged adder]

Does anyone have any good sources to look at for generating images within python? I’m trying to create an image that represents location on a map, and I want to use co-ords or some such instead of 100 images and if/else statements etc. I want to be then be able to send said pic within a discord channel or dm

[smoky sinew]

pillow? just make sure to run it in an executor

[jagged adder]

I’ve never used that before, any tips

And can u clarify what u mean by an executor

[smoky sinew]

!d asyncio.loop.run_in_executor

[unkempt canyon]

asyncio.loop.run\_in\_executor

awaitable loop.run_in_executor(executor, func, *args)```
Arrange for *func* to be called in the specified executor.

The *executor* argument should be an [`concurrent.futures.Executor`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/concurrent.futures.html#concurrent.futures.Executor "concurrent.futures.Executor") instance. The default executor is used if *executor* is `None`.

Example:

[smoky sinew]

me neither honestly but i think it has good documentation https://pillow.readthedocs.io/en/stable/

you can just open a base image and overlay another image at whatever location you need

then save that to a temporary file and send it to discord

[vocal snow]

Why temporary file when random access memory exists?

[smoky sinew]

i'm going to unrandom your memory

[jagged adder]

I see

So I’m basically needing 2 images ?

Guess I’ll have to do some reading lol

[smoky sinew]

sure that's one way you can do it

overlay one on top of the other

[jagged adder]

Is there a way for it to be a bit more flexible?

So I don’t need the second image

I guess it needs to know what’s where …

[upbeat ice]

Anything is possible. All you need is objective requirements

[naive briar]

Not everything is possible

[smoky sinew]

yes dude

literally just do whatever you want

it was just a suggestion as to how you could do it

i don't even know what you're making

[jagged adder]

yeah ive been having a read

on the docs

im making a text adventure discord bot and i just wanted to be able to include a visual representation with a "You are here" arrow where the player is at the point in time

[jagged adder]

thats alg, thanks

[smoky sinew]

you could do that with code but it would be easier to just get a png

and place it somewhere on the image and optionally rotate it

[jagged adder]

wdym?

w Pillow ?

[smoky sinew]

yes

[jagged adder]

ah yeah

ive got pillow installed, gonna mess around w it and a test image, see how easy it is

[smoky sinew]

in it

because the command is in a cog

so you put the function in a cog

[drifting arrow]

How do you @ channels?
<@#1097084154400743465> is wrong apparently lol

nvm remove the @ 😄

[sullen shoal]

keep in mind that TextChannel.mention exists if you're using Discord.py

[drifting arrow]

oh

psh dont need

channel = await createcategory.create_text_channel(f"Clan Create #{len(createcategory.channels)}", overwrites=overwrites)
        await interaction.response.send_message(f"{interaction.user.mention} - Please visit <#{channel.id}> to start and complete the clan create process.")

😄

[slate swan]

channel.metion

[drifting arrow]

It's fine.

both work

[slate swan]

but if you are wondering here are all formats

https://discord.com/developers/docs/reference#message-formatting

[drifting arrow]

Ty ty appreciate it.

[sullen shoal]

I don't see the issue with f"{interaction.user.mention} - Please visit {channel.mention} to start and complete the clan create process."

[drifting arrow]

And I don't see an issue with await interaction.response.send_message(f"{interaction.user.mention} - Please visit <#{channel.id}> to start and complete the clan create process.")

[sullen shoal]

It is computationally slightly slower, that is an issue, for me

[drifting arrow]

How much slower?

[slate swan]

if there is a built-in method that does it why implement it yourself again

[drifting arrow]

Im not recreating it lol there's just 2 ways to get to the same destination

[slate swan]

if you are geting the same result it is recreating

[sullen shoal]

very little for a human, but still a lot for the computer when you have as little as 1000 users using it simultaneously

[drifting arrow]

y u cross out

[sullen shoal]

thinking about it now, I was wrong. However, Python is all about readability, and a word is more readable in this context than the raw syntax.

!e import this

someone knows what does it mean? this problem in db or in code (yesterday it was working)

[whole shoal]

Problem in db

Also don't host bot on replit 💀

[cold plover]

hello

i need help about sth called hoodpay payment (if u knw )

[steady flume]

Do I need just wait or I need fix something?

[steady flume]

I know bruh, but don’t have rn my main pc

I’ve did it already ..

[whole shoal]

Try changing the db and running it and see if u get the same error

[fading egret]

whats the method to get the bots username in app_commands ?

[slate swan]

in where ?

do you have discord.Interaction ?

[outer parcel]

im tryiny to make an edit message check
It works but if i edit a previous message that was sent before the bot was turned on the bot just wont pick it up why is this?

[uneven swan]

Hi everyone, I got these problems with this code (its a discord bot) n idk why, I tried everything, can someone help me :/

[slate swan]

u have to move the things into the function

!indents

[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

More Info
1. Indentation style guide
2. Tabs or Spaces?
3. Official docs on indentation

how

[slate swan]

indent them

[slate swan]

just like this

[lean girder]

hi any one teach me python from scratch

@lean girder

[fading egret]

yes

[uneven swan]

@slate swan, @slate swan, look: https://replit.com/

[slate swan]

I can't I don't have a replit account

[slate swan]

discord.Interaction has a .client attribute which is your bot, you can use .user attribute to get the user, and .name for the name of it

[slate swan]

u dont have to make a run_bot funktion u can just have client.run(TOKEN) at the end and the rest like this

[fading egret]

ah, alright, thank you

[slate swan]

@uneven swan look into the chat on replit

[uneven swan]

i saw it

now i only have these 3 problems

[slate swan]

pip install discord.py

did you copy paste this code? @uneven swan

[uneven swan]

i did it a lot of times but

[slate swan]

so u want the command to be /say {text} and then the text should be sent? or wdym?

[slate swan]

you are using python 3.4 or older, and you need higher to use discord.py

upgrade to 3.7 or something imo

you mean you don't want the :
@slate swan used /say part ?

you should use interaction.channel.send

but note this

yh

not answering an interaction (like you are doing now with response.send_message) will make the command say this interaction didn't respond

await interaction.channel.send(...) # for users
await interaction.response.send_message("successfully sent text", ephemeral=True) # message only the user who used the command will see, used to remove the this interaction did not respond part

no not replace

[slate swan]

here ephemeral=True will make the message only visable to you

your welcome

[uneven swan]

alright

thanks

[fading egret]

is there a way to group slash commands?

[slate swan]

You mean create sub commands?

[fading egret]

yes

[slate swan]

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

this is an example for prefixed commands but its almost the same for slash commands

[uneven swan]

i have this problem

[vocal snow]

what's the problem

[uneven swan]

idk

[vocal snow]

you can always hover over it and see

or just run your code

in any case, it's because you're using await outside an async function

which is not allowed

[uneven swan]

the bot is online but, it doesn't show any rich presence

this the code ```activity = Activity(
name="Test",
type=ActivityType.playing,
state="Test",
details="Test",
emoji={"name": "🍩"}
)

await client.change_presence(activity=activity, status="online")```

[slate swan]

you can't await outside async functions

and you can't change presence before the bot has logged in

use the activity kwarg in the constructer

[tender mantle]

i'm getting so lost rn, apparently can't I use .ico files as the url for avatar_url in an embed, is there's any way to get around this? the url is "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/r-ex/LegionPlus/main/Resources/LegionIcon.ico"

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot

class discord.ext.commands.Bot(command_prefix, *, help_command=<default-help-command>, tree_cls=<class 'discord.app_commands.tree.CommandTree'>, description=None, intents, **options)```
Represents a Discord bot.

This class is a subclass of [`discord.Client`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Client "discord.Client") and as a result anything that you can do with a [`discord.Client`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Client "discord.Client") you can do with this bot.

This class also subclasses [`GroupMixin`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.GroupMixin "discord.ext.commands.GroupMixin") to provide the functionality to manage commands.

Unlike [`discord.Client`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Client "discord.Client"), this class does not require manually setting a [`CommandTree`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.CommandTree "discord.app_commands.CommandTree") and is automatically set upon instantiating the class.

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

New in version 2.0.

[slate swan]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.activity

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.activity

property activity```
The activity being used upon logging in.

[uneven swan]

i know

[uneven swan]

yo how

[slate swan]

what

[uneven swan]

i found this on the internet, i dont even know how it works man

[tender mantle]

anyone got an idea how to get around this?

[steady flume]

some knows this mistake with db and how to solve this ??

[slate swan]

#databases

[fading egret]

you mean sth like ```py
@app_commands.group()
async def item(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):
return await interaction.response.send_message("test 1")

@item.command()
async def sad(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):
return await interaction.response.send_message("test 2")

[slate swan]

that won't work

slash group parents can't be invoked themselves

for example

if you have :
/parent and /parent child
then /parent won't be a valid command

!d discord.app_commands.Group

[unkempt canyon]

discord.app\_commands.Group

class discord.app_commands.Group(*, name=..., description=..., parent=None, guild_ids=None, guild_only=..., nsfw=..., auto_locale_strings=True, default_permissions=..., extras=...)```
A class that implements an application command group.

These are usually inherited rather than created manually.

Decorators such as [`guild_only()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.guild_only "discord.app_commands.guild_only"), [`guilds()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.guilds "discord.app_commands.guilds"), and [`default_permissions()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.default_permissions "discord.app_commands.default_permissions") will apply to the group if used on top of a subclass. For example:

```py
from discord import app_commands

@app_commands.guild_only()
class MyGroup(app_commands.Group):
    pass
```...

[slate swan]

use this

[fading egret]

aright, thank you

[rugged mountain]

#m is a message object
            regexp = re.compile(r' ')
            match = re.split(regexp, m.content, maxsplit=2, flags=0)
            await bot.get_channel(int(match[0])).send(match[1])

if match[1] is a hyperlink, it's an empty string and won't send
I suspect this is because of embeds, but if match[1] is text and a hyperlink it works fine
even trying to escape the link with <> around it behaves similarly
what obvious thing am I missing here

[rugged mountain]

eh, nevermind
just made it check if the message has embeds and send it with or without embeds as necessary

[outer parcel]

how would i add options into my slash command

[slate swan]

you say that the choices will be strings but the values are booleans instead

change it to app_commands.Choice[bool]

[gilded oxide]

not router

And stop using replit 😔

@app_commands.checks.has_role(1017279032171188265)

how to make it work for 2 role ids (no need to have them both so u can use it but u need atleast one of them to use the commands)

[uneven swan]

alright

[uneven swan]

im trying to keep my bot always online but i dont know how, replit is a solution rn

[maiden fable]

You might wanna take a look at #965291480992321536

[maiden fable]

has_any_role instead of has_role

[slate swan]

i dont want any role to use it

i only want 2 roles to use it

[maiden fable]

Ah, then use the has_role check twice

With different role IDs

[slate swan]

it didnt work

i tried already

[maiden fable]

Well then try adding an if statement to check if the person has both the roles

[slate swan]

i dont need him to have both roles i need him to have one atleast of them

[cold sonnet]

...

[maiden fable]

Bruh, you have has_any_role for that, if u want the command to work only for people which have at least 1 of the 2 roles

Hi Dani
Long time

[slate swan]

can example of the has_any_role?

[cold sonnet]

Hi Hunter yes

[maiden fable]

@app_commands.checks.has_any_role(id1, id2)

[slate swan]

like
@app_commands.checks.has_role(1017279032171188265, id2)

oh ok i got u dw

[maiden fable]

How u doing

[cold sonnet]

discord.py keeps getting more complicated yet the issues here keep getting numb

[maiden fable]

Lmao

[cold sonnet]

I mean not just telling people to learn the basics is a good thing but if people won't bother to learn python then this channel's gonna be flooded by dumb issues which aren't even related to the channel

most of the regulars are gone

well it should

it adds the role and removes it

[cold sonnet]

did you use the role command or one of the other ones

[gilded oxide]

lemme try and see if the remove embed sends

the remove command doesn't work

[cold sonnet]

at all

do you get an error

[gilded oxide]

yea the role doesn't get removed

[cold sonnet]

1. see if you get an error
2. if yes, send the error
   if no, see if you have an error handler

this is a protocol I wanted to write while I was often here

1. see if you get an error
2. send the error if there is one,
   else check for an on_command_error or an on_error event which doesn't have an else: raise error
3. end the event with else: raise error
4. run the code again and send the error

there was definitely more to that

[vocal snow]

5: set up logging

Actually that should probably happen at the very very start

[slate swan]

Zeffo you have any guide on seting up logging in a discord bot? Or example

that's not a problem with your code

you're trying to run your code in the python REPL

exit the python REPL using quit() before running your code

also you should use setup_hook to load your extensions

[hushed galleon]

yeah its kind of weird that the python plugin doesnt bother to check if it looks like a repl before attempting to run the file

well, i just closed the terminal and now it's back working

How can i host my discord bot 24/7

[junior falcon]

Hi guys, i have a code that get some options from a yml file and creates an option for a dropdown menu with them it works fine but i dont know how to make a callback for every option. The callback should change the channel name and it is also specified in the configuration file.

This is my yaml file

dropdown:
#You can create as many options as you want, Max is 25 (Discord Limitation)
 option1:
  name: "Account"
  description: "For issues regarding your in-game account."
  emoji: ":bust_in_silhouette:"
  ticket_name: ":bust_in_silhouette:┃account-{interaction.user.name}"
 option2:
  name: "Store Support"
  description: "For issues regarding the store and payments."
  emoji: ":money_with_wings:"
  ticket_name: ":money_with_wings:┃store-{interaction.user.name}"

This is how i get the values:

menu_options = [
        discord.SelectOption(label=dropdown[option_key]['name'], description=dropdown[option_key]['description'],
                             emoji=dropdown[option_key]['emoji'])
        for option_key in dropdown
    ]

And this is my dropdown:

@discord.ui.select(placeholder=ticketchannel['dropdown_placeholder'], min_values=1, max_values=1, options=menu_options,
                       custom_id=f"menu")

[hushed galleon]

if each option has the same structure you'd likely be fine writing a single callback for your select menu, but otherwise you can abstract each option into a separate set of classes

[junior falcon]

There isn't a way to check if the selected values is equal to the first label name, if not it checks if it is equal to the second and so on.

[tropic sable]

how do i add a discord bot token in pycharm?

[hushed galleon]

sure there is, it can very literally be written as you described py @discord.ui.select(...) async def my_select(self, interaction, select): for option in select.options: if select.values[0] == option.label: break though practically you might prefer discord.utils.get() instead: py option = discord.utils.get(select.options, label=select.values[0]) or even better, a dictionary mapping your option values to the corresponding entry in your config

[hushed galleon]

you... type it? or store it in a file and retrieve it (python-dotenv is a common package for this)

[junior falcon]

Got it to work like that, thanks

        for option_key in dropdown:
            if select.values[0] == dropdown[option_key]['name']:
                await interaction.channel.edit(name=f"{dropdown[option_key]['ticket_name']}".format(USERNAME=interaction.user.name))
                await interaction.response.edit_message(view=CloseButton())

[hushed galleon]

in your case i would prefer to set the option value to the corresponding yaml key and then use that for the lookup, its a bit nicer to write ```py
menu_options = [discord.SelectOption(label=option["name"], value=name) for name, option in dropdown.items()]

option = dropdown[select.values[0]]
await interaction.channel.edit(name=option["ticket_name"])``` editing channels also has a heavy ratelimit iirc so you might want to defer() beforehand

[young dagger]

How can I apply ratelimit for multiple functions?

[tall temple]

huh ?

[tropic sable]

im very confused can someone explain what is happening

i copied this code from google i just wanna test discord bots first

[tall temple]

** i think** you have to install discord module

CTRL + R --> cmd --> pip install discord

[slate swan]

anyone knows how i can sync the tree commands to everyserver the Bot is on?

[hushed galleon]

you'll probably need to write a custom check for that involving app_commands.Cooldown or commands.CooldownMapping

[hushed galleon]

bot.slash_command() only exists in certain libraries and certain versions, e.g. pycord and nextcord

[tall temple]

oh i have to install pycord ?

[hushed galleon]

if you're using dpy 2.0 there's a different syntax for slash commands

[hushed galleon]

https://gist.github.com/Ash-02014/b6f57065f394b54f43666037ade38d32

oops wrong reply

[tall temple]

[hushed galleon]

domi you can iterate through client.guilds during that on_ready event and sync each one

[slate swan]

so like this?

[hushed galleon]

yup, though i would prefer to sync from a prefix command since on_ready can fire multiple times (depending on how frequently you restart your bot and connection stability), and syncing has a daily ratelimit

[sick birch]

Pretty sure if you leave out the guild argument tree.sync() syncs to all your guilds by default

[junior falcon]

Why bot.close() gives me this error? It works but throws this in console

[young dagger]

Can you use while True and try in the same code as this?

while True:
    try:```

[slate swan]

yes but try need except block

!except

[unkempt canyon]

Error handling

A key part of the Python philosophy is to ask for forgiveness, not permission. This means that it's okay to write code that may produce an error, as long as you specify how that error should be handled. Code written this way is readable and resilient.

try:
    number = int(user_input)
except ValueError:
    print("failed to convert user_input to a number. setting number to 0.")
    number = 0

You should always specify the exception type if it is possible to do so, and your try block should be as short as possible. Attempting to handle broad categories of unexpected exceptions can silently hide serious problems.

try:
    number = int(user_input)
    item = some_list[number]
except:
    print("An exception was raised, but we have no idea if it was a ValueError or an IndexError.")

For more information about exception handling, see the official Python docs, or watch Corey Schafer's video on exception handling.

How can I host bot 24/7 free

Like a small bot not much cpu or ram needed

[swift acorn]

I think that many cloud service providers have free tiers

that can support your bot

[outer parcel]

Where can I find them

The bot I want to host is quite small

[swift acorn]

Looks like google has a lot of results

[outer parcel]

I’ve been using replit but it’s quite unreliable

[swift acorn]

but the big ones are AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud

[outer parcel]

Do you use any ? That are trusted

[swift acorn]

The three I mentioned are the most trusted

[young dagger]

The ratelimit is for the API calls and not the command itself

[gusty flax]

Which api calls.

[gilded oxide]

how would I make these events for my antinuke
on member ban
on member remove
on guild update
on guild channel create
on role create
on role permission added

[gusty flax]

What do you mean

make these events for my antinuke

[gilded oxide]

like I know how to start them off but how do I give it attributes for example on member ban their perms need stripped

[full lily]

like if you detect nukage remove the persons perms?

not sure what you mean by giving it attributes

[gusty flax]

I am having trouble understanding what you are trying to say.

[smoky sinew]

just make them

if you want a good way of making an anti-nuke, create a base Check class

and each Check can have its own events

[gilded oxide]

wtf is that.

[smoky sinew]

and then once a user failed too many checks ban them

[gilded oxide]

yes

[gilded oxide]

thats a good idea but idk how when u say base check class?

like make a class of checks?

[smoky sinew]

a base class and then extend it

that's how i would do it

[slate swan]

question. so when you're using super.__init__ in a view. if you have a function in the main class, do you need to set it as a parameter to run it in the view?

like for a randomizer. to repeat the function. would you want to use the randomizer in the __init__ or in the super.__init__for the view?

[gilded oxide]

can u explain in my forum #1097314872120840223

[gusty flax]

Why make a base check class

[smoky sinew]

it would be more of an abc really

[gusty flax]

Idk why u would need an asbtract base class for a check...

Unless ur gonna have a check class per event, which is a bit inefficient.

[smoky sinew]

it's mostly one check per multiple events

this way you can set severity too

e.g. banning members is worth 3 points, adding a webhook is worth 1

10 points within 5 minutes = ban or something similar

[young dagger]

Riot API

[hushed galleon]

thats more of a #software-architecture question then

essentially making an api wrapper like dpy, though it probably wont have to be anywhere as complex

[slate swan]

nvm, answered my last question. also, bump

[smoky sinew]

if only the subclass of View uses it, pass it to the subclass

e.g. ```py
class MyView(discord.ui.View):
def init(self, *, special_argument):
super().init()
self.variable = special_argument

[slate swan]

so it would go in the base initializer and not the super? def __init__(self, *, special_argument) not the super().__init__(special_argument)?

[naive briar]

You pass the arguments of the class you're inheriting in the super().__init__()

!e

class Base:
    def __init__(self, a):
        print(a)

class Sub(Base):
    def __init__(self, a, b):
        super().__init__(a)
        self.b = b

Base("uwu")
Sub("owo", "meow")

[unkempt canyon]

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

001 | uwu
002 | owo

[slate swan]

o.o that makes so much sense. ty

[gilded oxide]

does someone know how to do data bases?

[smoky sinew]

i do

[gilded oxide]

[smoky sinew]

uh ok

[slate swan]

[vale wing]

The Bases of Data

[slate swan]

can anybody tell me the meaning of os.system('cls')

[near breach]

You can simply “cls” to clear the screen in windows.

Is there a documentation for the os module ?

[vocal snow]

!d os

[unkempt canyon]

os

Source code: Lib/os.py

This module provides a portable way of using operating system dependent functionality. If you just want to read or write a file see open(), if you want to manipulate paths, see the os.path module, and if you want to read all the lines in all the files on the command line see the fileinput module. For creating temporary files and directories see the tempfile module, and for high-level file and directory handling see the shutil module.

Notes on the availability of these functions:

Similar names: label.os

[near breach]

Thanks

How bad of an idea is this

It's specifically for my server

I was too lazy to write commands for each config item so I instead write this which probably took about the same amount of time

But I mean... now any value can be set as I add it to the config without me having to add a "setter"

[naive briar]

Printing?

What's so confusing

[slow fog]

yeah printing

lol

[worthy mantle]

So what is the best framework that is feature rich and mostly future proof.
Also is discord.py dead?

[slate swan]

no discord.py is in active developlment
and I myself use discord.py and suggest it but it doesn't support some stuff such as voice recieve

[naive briar]

What would you use received voice for anyway

[slate swan]

its useful in special cases but yeah not needed for most people

[young dagger]

I think it's discord bot related. I just want to limit the aiohttp requests per minute.

So it won't reach the ratelimit

[placid jolt]

hi i have made a bot how would i give it multiple prefixes and how would i make a command with different names
same function different names
like status and stats for 1 command i dont wanna copy paste i feel like there could be a better way

[hushed galleon]

ratelimiting is a pretty common task that isnt related to discord development, there's even libraries out there dedicated to it https://pypi.org/project/limiter/
though i guess in the context of aiohttp #async-and-concurrency would be a more relevant place

[hushed galleon]

depends on the library you're using, if its discord.py the commands.Bot(command_prefix=) parameter can take a list of prefixes instead of one, and the @command() decorator has an aliases= parameter for providing alternative names

[placid jolt]

ty found it

[young dagger]

And what is https://pypi.org/project/ratelimit/ for?

What is the difference?

[hushed galleon]

just based on their pip descriptions, ratelimit doesnt appear to support async/await

[young dagger]

So is this how you would use it?

from limiter import AsyncLimiter

limiter = AsyncLimiter(max_calls=200, period=60)  # limit to 200 requests per 60 seconds

async def get_summoner_name(summoner_id, RIOT_API_KEY):
    url = f"https://euw1.api.riotgames.com/lol/summoner/v4/summoners/{summoner_id}"
    headers = {'X-Riot-Token': RIOT_API_KEY}
    async with limiter:  # acquire lock
        async with aiohttp.ClientSession(headers=headers) as session:
            async with session.get(url) as response:
                if response.status == 200:
                    json_data = await response.json()
                    return json_data["name"]
                else:
                    await asyncio.sleep(10)
                    continue

    limiter.release()  # release lock```

[naive briar]

Why are you calling .release()

They should be releasing it automatically after the async with block ends

[young dagger]

Oh I see thanks. So the rest is fine?

[naive briar]

Probably

[hushed galleon]

ah aiolimiter was what i was initially looking for but forgot the name of

[tired kernel]

how do i make a command wich deletes the trigger( for example i use ?help and then the bot deletes it)

[drifting arrow]

So currently if I want a new "Model" (The pop up input field)
I have to do this:

class ClanNameForm(discord.ui.Modal, title="Clan Name"):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
    ClanName = discord.ui.TextInput(
        label="Clan Name",
        placeholder=f"Your clan name here.",
        required=f"True",
    )

    async def on_submit(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):
        check_if_exists = await db.get_clan_by_name(clanname=self.ClanName.value)
        if check_if_exists:
            await interaction.response.send_message(f"The clan name: `{self.ClanName.value}` is already reserved or registered. Please submit a new one.", ephemeral=True)
            return
        await interaction.response.send_message(f"{self.ClanName.value} has been registered.", ephemeral=True)

Is it possible to do something similar to embeds? where it's like:

embed = discord.Embed()
embed.add_field()

Or would I need a new class for each form/modal?

[hushed galleon]

ctx.message refers to the message that triggered the command, so you'd call .delete() on that to delete it

[tired kernel]

ty

[young dagger]

So this would do it?

from aiolimiter import AsyncLimiter

rate_limit = AsyncLimiter(200, 60) # Limit to 200 requests per 60 seconds

async def get_summoner_name(summoner_id, RIOT_API_KEY):
    url = f"https://euw1.api.riotgames.com/lol/summoner/v4/summoners/{summoner_id}"
    headers = {'X-Riot-Token': RIOT_API_KEY}
    
    async with rate_limit: # use AsyncLimiter
        while True:
            async with aiohttp.ClientSession(headers=headers) as session:
                async with session.get(url) as response:
                    if response.status == 200:
                        json_data = await response.json()
                        return json_data["name"]
                    else:
                        await asyncio.sleep(10)
                        continue

[tired kernel]

@bot.command(aliases= ["Help"])
async def help(ctx,):
embed = discord.Embed(title="Need help for commands?", description= "List of all the commands:", color=discord.Color.blue())
embed.add_field(name= "Beta/beta", value="By using this command you will be putted in a review list to be part of the beta tester team.")
embed.add_field(name="Report/report", value= "This command is used for reports, Command structure= ?Report @user reason ")
await ctx.send(embed=embed, delete_after=30)
await ctx.message.delete()

Will this work?

[hushed galleon]

dynamic textinputs is possible through .add_item() iirc, if you think its worth re-using the same on_submit for multiple text inputs

[hushed galleon]

assuming your bot always has the manage messages perm sure

[drifting arrow]

Well I can just return the value right?

[tired kernel]

and how do i mention the user who used the command?

[drifting arrow]

ctx.author.mention?

[tired kernel]

ok

[hushed galleon]

i imagine you could create a modal instance, add text inputs to it, and then wait() for those inputs to be filled out, but ive never actually tried that before

[tired kernel]

so how do i add it

@bot.command(aliases= ["Help"])
async def help(ctx,):
embed = discord.Embed(title="Need help for commands?", description= "List of all the commands:", color=discord.Color.blue())
embed.add_field(name= "Beta/beta", value="By using this command you will be putted in a review list to be part of the beta tester team.")
embed.add_field(name="Report/report", value= "This command is used for reports, Command structure= ?Report @user reason ")
await ctx.message.delete()
await ctx.send(embed=embed, delete_after=30,)

[young dagger]

Should I add a small delay after each successful request?

[tired kernel]

it would help your ram

[young dagger]

So this is my final code for it:

from aiolimiter import AsyncLimiter

rate_limit = AsyncLimiter(200, 60) # Limit to 200 requests per 60 seconds

async def get_summoner_name(summoner_id, RIOT_API_KEY):
    url = f"https://euw1.api.riotgames.com/lol/summoner/v4/summoners/{summoner_id}"
    headers = {'X-Riot-Token': RIOT_API_KEY}
    
    async with rate_limit: # use AsyncLimiter
        while True:
            async with aiohttp.ClientSession(headers=headers) as session:
                async with session.get(url) as response:
                    if response.status == 200:
                        json_data = await response.json()
                        await asyncio.sleep(0.3) # add 0.3 second delay
                        return json_data["name"]
                    else:
                        await asyncio.sleep(10)
                        continue```

[tired kernel]

should work

however only a way to know

[young dagger]

I mean, if you guys know of any better way to do this, I'm open to hearing your proposition

[hazy vault]

what's wrong

[slate swan]

the token is not a string

its None

[hazy vault]

I am new to programming, please explain to me the solution

[slate swan]

show what you put as token when starting the bot

[slate swan]

what is the point of puting the token to .env when you put it to getenv

!dotenv

[unkempt canyon]

Using .env files in Python

.env (dotenv) files are a type of file commonly used for storing application secrets and variables, for example API tokens and URLs, although they may also be used for storing other configurable values. While they are commonly used for storing secrets, at a high level their purpose is to load environment variables into a program.

Dotenv files are especially suited for storing secrets as they are a key-value store in a file, which can be easily loaded in most programming languages and ignored by version control systems like Git with a single entry in a .gitignore file.

In python you can use dotenv files with the python-dotenv module from PyPI, which can be installed with pip install python-dotenv. To use dotenv files you'll first need a file called .env, with content such as the following:

TOKEN=a00418c85bff087b49f23923efe40aa5

Next, in your main Python file, you need to load the environment variables from the dotenv file you just created:

from dotenv import load_dotenv()

load_dotenv(".env")

The variables from the file have now been loaded into your programs environment, and you can access them using os.getenv() anywhere in your program, like this:

from os import getenv

my_token = getenv("TOKEN")

For further reading about tokens and secrets, please read this explanation.

Also, don't leak your bot token. Please reset it

[hazy vault]

thank

[glad cradle]

why not 😏

[slate swan]

Because people can get full access to your bot and do anything with it

[glad cradle]

i was sarcastic

[cold sonnet]

I make exactly that face when being sarcastic

[glad cradle]

you're my second account

[slate swan]

[cold sonnet]

cool

[maiden fable]

Nice

[sick birch]

epic

[slate swan]

awesome

[glad cradle]

unbeliavable

[slate swan]

sheesh

[slate swan]

Anyone has a idea what kind of bot i could make?

[sick birch]

You can make anything, really

The possibilities are endless :3

[slate swan]

ik but i dont know what i should do tbh

[sick birch]

!projects has a list of ideas

[unkempt canyon]

Kindling Projects

The Kindling projects page on Ned Batchelder's website contains a list of projects and ideas programmers can tackle to build their skills and knowledge.

[sick birch]

You could incorporate any of those into a discord bot without too much effort

[slate swan]

Thanks!

[young dagger]

What is the most efficient way to run tasks every third day?

[sick birch]

hours=24*3

[young dagger]

I have a feeling that "@tasks.loop(hours=72) " is giving me "Can't keep up, shard ID None websocket is 37.4s behind."

I don't know what else it could be

[sick birch]

Common symptom of blocking functions

[young dagger]

So @tasks.loop is a blocking function?

[sick birch]

No

The blocking function could be anywhere in your code

Not strictly restricted to the task itself

[young dagger]

Would you review my code and help me out? Because I cannot find it 😦

[slate swan]

are you using requests?

[young dagger]

No

Aiohttp everytime

[glad cradle]

iirc there were some asyncio things that you could setup to debug your code

[sick birch]

Do you have a git repo or something I can take a look at?

[young dagger]

I can upload it on https://paste.pythondiscord.com/ and DM you the link

[sick birch]

I prefer if it was kept here if possible

[young dagger]

I don't feel like sharing my entire bot to the public

[young dagger]

It's just for the link, we can keep the conversation here

[sick birch]

Alright, that's fine

@young dagger looks fine for the most part - might be the usage of Pymongo?

It's also wholly possible either your host machines network fell behind or Discord fell behind or anything in between so it may not even be with your code

[tropic sable]

anyone know how to fix this

[young dagger]

I'm using motor no?

[young dagger]

Sorry but can you show me the part were I'm using pymongo?

[slate swan]

show the full error first

[slate swan]

dont name your file discord.py as its the module name

[tropic sable]

same problem occured

[timid spade]

how can i know if user have boosted the server one time only or multiple times

[young dagger]

I think that is just for the "ReturnDocument.AFTER" since motor doesn't have that.

counter_doc = await counter_collection.find_one_and_update({"_id": "case_counter"}, {"$inc": {"count": 1}},
                                                                           return_document=ReturnDocument.AFTER)```

[tropic sable]

i fixed it ty

how do i make the bot active btw

😭 sorry im kinda new to this

sorry i dont get you

i legit started yestarday and thought i would try testing with bots im rusing things huh 😭

[turbid condor]

Add client/bot.run('token') at the end of code

Where token= bot token u get it from dev portal

[tall temple]

everyone

[tropic sable]

okk ty

[tall temple]

can someone help about something ?

a simple thing for you i guess

[turbid condor]

But that's the simplest way i know of explaining after u already told them about run function

[tall temple]

something like this, py ctx.server.id = ctx.server.id with open(f'users_data\{ctx.server.id}.json', "w") as users_data : json.dump(test, users_data)
i want to attribute to the file name the guild id where the command will be executed

discord module you mean ?

oh ok

😹 yeah i'm using it

[turbid condor]

Yeah discord uses guild to describe server

[tall temple]

[turbid condor]

Tho don't know why

It's their documentation

[tall temple]

😹

but i want to arribute to my file name a value that i don't know :/

idk how to process

[turbid condor]

I guess so

[tall temple]

oh ok

wym ?

sorry i'm a python beginner

@slate swan hm ?

[slate swan]

No, using x will raise an error if the file already exists

[tall temple]

but it's not what i'm searching for

explain pls

[slate swan]

Maybe they want to replace it if it already exists ?

[tall temple]

@slate swan could you help me in dms ?

to get more reactive answers

[ornate crater]

?????

[timid spade]

anyone have a sample code for discord.ui.Button use?

[ornate crater]

wait

[tall temple]

btw, are you french ?

💀

[young dagger]

Using https://motor.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api-asyncio/asyncio_motor_collection.html#motor.motor_asyncio.AsyncIOMotorCollection.find_one_and_update from pymongo import ReturnDocument

[young dagger]

So I'm only using it for ReturnDocument.AFTER

[tall temple]

passe dm, jsuis plus à l'aise en francais pour t'expliquer mon soucis :D

[thin raft]

any ideas on hwo could I host my bot and the bot's website at the same time?

I was thinking of having 2 python instances but idk if that's ok

[slate swan]

Yeah you shouldn't run them in one terminal

Use one for bot and another for site

They can communicate with ipc

[thin raft]

ipc?

[magic whale]

hello

@code_bot.tree.command()
async def test(interaction: discord.Interaction):
    await interaction.response.send_message("Hello")
    await interaction.response.edit_message(content="Hello edited")

i am trying to edit the message i send as response to user but it is giving me error

can someone tell me what i am doing wrong?

[thin raft]

!d discord

[unkempt canyon]

discord

In order to work with the library and the Discord API in general, we must first create a Discord Bot account.

Creating a Bot account is a pretty straightforward process.

Similar names: disnake.discord, nextcord.discord

[thin raft]

which error?

[magic whale]

InteractionResponded: This interaction has already been responded to before

this one. i have been trying to solve it but couldn't solve it

[thin raft]

discord.Interaction.followup

discord.Interaction.followup returns a webhook

which you can edit via

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Webhook.edit_message

[hushed galleon]

id recommend edit_original_response instead, but i wonder if that method actually works with an interaction webhook

[thin raft]

hmmm

[hushed galleon]

!d discord.Interaction.edit_original_response

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Interaction.edit\_original\_response

await edit_original_response(*, content=..., embeds=..., embed=..., attachments=..., view=..., allowed_mentions=None)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Edits the original interaction response message.

This is a lower level interface to [`InteractionMessage.edit()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.InteractionMessage.edit "discord.InteractionMessage.edit") in case you do not want to fetch the message and save an HTTP request.

This method is also the only way to edit the original message if the message sent was ephemeral.

[magic whale]

that one doesn't work

[hushed galleon]

how so

[thin raft]

!d discord.Interaction.message

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Interaction.message

The message that sent this interaction.

This is only available for InteractionType.component interactions.

[thin raft]

this .edit()?

try what I said first @magic whale

he wanted to edit

[magic whale]

it says webhook object is not callable

[thin raft]

send error and code

[hushed galleon]

interaction.message would be using the regular discord API rather than what's provided by the interaction

[thin raft]

hmm

why not use that?

[magic whale]

Command 'test' raised an exception: TypeError: 'Webhook' object is not callable

[hushed galleon]

i think it only works if you have a bot account in the server and read/send perms in that channel

[thin raft]

I mean

[magic whale]

this is replying to the message

[thin raft]

isn't the response a message?

[magic whale]

not editing it

[thin raft]

or it doesn't count as one because it is an app command

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Interaction.edit\_original\_response

await edit_original_response(*, content=..., embeds=..., embed=..., attachments=..., view=..., allowed_mentions=None)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Edits the original interaction response message.

This is a lower level interface to [`InteractionMessage.edit()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.InteractionMessage.edit "discord.InteractionMessage.edit") in case you do not want to fetch the message and save an HTTP request.

This method is also the only way to edit the original message if the message sent was ephemeral.

[hushed galleon]

its not the same kind of message, dpy makes it look like a message but there are different endpoints for modifying that message

[thin raft]

makes sense then

[hushed galleon]

https://discord.com/developers/docs/interactions/receiving-and-responding#create-interaction-response

[thin raft]

yo what

when did they change the ui?

[hushed galleon]

has it changed?

[magic whale]

what do i do now?

[thin raft]

not a lot

but it has

[hushed galleon]

how does it not work? this is the standard way of editing a response after its been sent

[magic whale]

it says interaction doesn't have that attribute

[hushed galleon]

what library are you using?

[magic whale]

discord.py

[hushed galleon]

and version?

[magic whale]

latest

[thin raft]

which one is latest now im wondering

[hushed galleon]

what does latest mean, like the last time you used pip install git+https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py?

[thin raft]

!d discord

[unkempt canyon]

discord

In order to work with the library and the Discord API in general, we must first create a Discord Bot account.

Creating a Bot account is a pretty straightforward process.

Similar names: disnake.discord, nextcord.discord

[thin raft]

do pip show discord.py

[magic whale]

today

[thin raft]

2.2.2

[hushed galleon]

btw showing a full traceback is more helpful, use https://paste.pythondiscord.com/ if you think its too long
