[crisp helm]

I still get the error i have even tried to delete both and install them again but it doesnt work

[slate swan]

Do python --version

And then set this python version to interpreter in your text editor

[crisp helm]

they are already the same version

[slate swan]

May i see what you set it to

[naive briar]

Read the error, that's your answer

discord.errors.Forbidden: 403 Forbidden (error code: 50001): Missing Access

[tepid dagger]

ok thanks

i was checking to make sure i interpreted it right

[crisp helm]

thank you it works now

[tepid dagger]

how do i give the bot access

code:

async def on_raw_reaction_add(payload):
    emoji = "👍"
    emoji_str = str(payload.emoji)
    guild = client.get_guild(payload.guild_id)
    user = guild.get_member(payload.user_id)
    if payload.message_id == int(id) and emoji_str == emoji:
        await user.add_roles(guild.get_role(int(role_id)))

[naive briar]

Give the bot manage roles permission 🤷

[tepid dagger]

it still doesn't work

same error

[naive briar]

It cannot manage someone's roles if its highest role is lower than the member's highest role (role hierarchy)

[tepid dagger]

ohhh

[frozen pivot]

Can somebody give me more details on why voice bots are against ToS?

I want to relay some information to a person who asked me about it

[meager rock]

!ytdl

[unkempt canyon]

[meager rock]

here's the relevant part

[frozen pivot]

wait what does that have to do with recording and playing voice

[naive briar]

It doesn't. Who told you that?

[frozen pivot]

Somebody told me that it's against ToS to make a bot that you speak to and it speaks back

it was when I shared my bot video and they told me I couldn't do that
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSiLbuzFt4U

[naive briar]

It's only against the ToS if you're using a service that doesn't allow you to stream its voice/music, like YouTube

[frozen pivot]

I'm particularly curious atm because somebody reached out to me to work on a project

[final iron]

It shouldn’t be

Not sure what they were talking about tbh

[frozen pivot]

sweet

[slate swan]

its only illegal when the voice provider doesnt allow to stream music publicly

like youtube, spotify etc

[frozen pivot]

eh, well I guess I'm in business?

[cloud dawn]

It is against Discords ToS

[frozen pivot]

wait what

All of it or just a part of it

[slate swan]

Does anyone knows node.js here if yes please let me know i need a code fixed I really need help ASAP

[cloud dawn]

Well not directly, it's just that it's illegal in a lot of places to recording someone without their knowledge. You could argue that this doesn't really apply here but we would be handing out the tools and the capability to do so.

[cloud dawn]

This is a Python server sir, but most of us know js

[slate swan]

It's a Python server

[winter token]

?

[slate swan]

Ask in a JS server

[frozen pivot]

check out the discord.js server https://discord.gg/djs

[winter token]

will any1 help??

[mighty pilot]

You could make a disclaimer that DMs people when they join the VC or something to cover your butt. Tbh though I'd steer clear of it myself

[mighty pilot]

I'm not familiar with mongodb but according to the traceback it looks like you're trying to use a connection that has already been closed

Kinda looks like there's a timeout of 30 seconds on it

[slate swan]

Your issue is an issue with pymongo, so #databases or #1035199133436354600

[slate swan]

how to get the clicked button's custom id with the on_interaction event?

[slate swan]

You can try retrieving it from the interaction.data attribute

of course you'll have to check that the interaction event is indeed a button press

Although take note of the warning on the docs:

This is a low level function that is not generally meant to be used. If you are working with components, consider using the callbacks associated with the View instead as it provides a nicer user experience.

[turbid condor]

Can you show us the code for the Minor button

[hasty pike]

Wait

@turbid condor

[turbid condor]

Cam u try printing statements in your above given code after every line

Like ```py
async def abc():
user=.....
print("Check 1")
channel=......
print("Check 2")

@hasty pike

And then run your code and see until which check your code runs

[hasty pike]

It's working

But when bot goes off

And comes back on

It throws this Error

Then i have to recreate buttons

[turbid condor]

Oh i see

Then u are looking for persistent view

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

Check this out on how to create a persistent view

[hasty pike]

self.add_view(PersistentView())

I've added this in on ready event

[turbid condor]

Can u show the whole class code then

[hasty pike]

Well

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

  @discord.ui.button(emoji="![number_1](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1107744457987727360.webp?size=128 "number_1")", label="Adult", style=discord.ButtonStyle.secondary, custom_id='Adult') 
  async def Mb(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, button: discord.ui.Button) -> None:
    user = interaction.user
    role = interaction.guild.get_role(1125877150856253492)
    role2 = interaction.guild.get_role(1125877151971946606)
    if role2 in user.roles:
      await interaction.response.send_message(f'You already have {role2.mention} in your roles.', ephemeral=True)
    elif role not in user.roles:
      await user.add_roles(role, reason="AFTER | Self Roles")
      await interaction.response.send_message(f'Added {role.mention} to your roles.', ephemeral=True)
    else:
      await user.remove_roles(role, reason="AFTER | Self Roles")
      await interaction.response.send_message(f'Removed {role.mention} from your roles.', ephemeral=True)
      
  @discord.ui.button(emoji="![number_2](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1107744481710723074.webp?size=128 "number_2")", label="Minor", style=discord.ButtonStyle.secondary, custom_id='Minor') 
  async def Fb(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, button: discord.ui.Button) -> None:
    user = interaction.user
    role = interaction.guild.get_role(1125877151971946606)
    role2 = interaction.guild.get_role(1125877150856253492)
    if role2 in user.roles:
      await interaction.response.send_message(f'You already have {role2.mention} in your roles.', ephemeral=True)
    elif role not in user.roles:
      await user.add_roles(role, reason="AFTER | Self Roles")
      await interaction.response.send_message(f'Added {role.mention} to your roles.', ephemeral=True)
    else:
      await user.remove_roles(role, reason="AFTER | Self Roles")
      await interaction.response.send_message(f'Removed {role.mention} from your roles.', ephemeral=True)

[turbid condor]

Why did you do
self.add_view(PersistentView())
When your view is called Age??

And one more thing don't do anything in on_ready

[hasty pike]

It's deleting

[hasty pike]

[turbid condor]

Instead use setup_hook

[hasty pike]

I didn't made bot subclass

Gotta switch

[turbid condor]

Welp u could use @bot.event decorator but the class method looks cleaner

[hasty pike]

For setup_hook?

[turbid condor]

Yes

[hasty pike]

Oh

Which arguments to pass?

[turbid condor]

The reason for not using on_ready is cuz it can fire many times

[hasty pike]

Yeah ik that's why i don't load cogs in it

[turbid condor]

Instead of doing async setup in on_ready, or using a task which may lead to events being called before that task runs, you can overwrite Client/Bot.setup_hook.

For example:-

class MyBot(commands.Bot):
    async def setup_hook(self):
        print("Bot is starting")
        await self.load_extension("my.extension")

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.setup_hook

This is a general example

[hasty pike]

I know how subclass works i just had bit confusion with buttons

[turbid condor]

If you are using @bot.event then no need to pass self

Instead do bot.add_view(Age())

That should work

Tho i still prefer the class method

[hasty pike]

@client.event
async def setup_hook():
    await client.change_presence(activity=discord.Activity(type=discord.ActivityType.listening, name=""))
    print(f"{client.user} is shooting!")
    client.add_view(Gender())
    client.add_view(Age())

Fine now?

[turbid condor]

Try and see

[hasty pike]

It's just a simple for someone else

Don't want to complicate it

[vale wing]

why not use onboarding

[hasty pike]

What is onboarding

[thin raft]

If I see on-boarding on a server I already know I'm going to waste 1 minute of my life

[turbid condor]

Welp I'll probably like to keep the option skip if i can instead of going through all that stuff

[hasty pike]

Oh

Onboarding is just annoying

That's why i don't enable it

[vale wing]

Well I do think that channel filtering on onboarding stage is bad but ability to pick roles is quite good

Discord is just trying to kill bots

[hasty pike]

What if they want to change it later? Leave and join again 😂

[vale wing]

First went and killed all moderation bots with timeout cmd and automod

Then all buttonroles and reactionroles

Now watch discord making economy inside itself lmfao

[worthy heart]

How can I make optional slash command parameters

[hasty pike]

optional

[vale wing]

Won't let deez cord kill bobux bot 😡

[turbid condor]

Assign them None value

[worthy heart]

it doesn't work throwing:
TypeError: parameter 'account_id' is missing a type annotation in callback 'account_page'

async def account_page(interaction: discord.Interaction, account_id=None):```

[turbid condor]

There will probably be a whole game in it

[vale wing]

Ah yes they also added activities I forgor

I don't use them tho

Cause all friends I got are my 15 alts

[turbid condor]

You need to tell what is account_id

Like an int or str

[worthy heart]

its or that or assigning it to None

[vale wing]

account_id: int | None = None

[worthy heart]

watt

[vale wing]

Typehint

[worthy heart]

what kind of syntax is this

xd

[vale wing]

It's typehinting

I was shocked too

But it's hella good

[turbid condor]

Wouldn't previous one also had worked

[vale wing]

Types in python just imagine

[worthy heart]

I mean, I knew that but I didn't know you can assign it a default value and a typehint as well

[vale wing]

It would work but it was incorrect

Since None isn't instance of int

[turbid condor]

The activity is a good thing

[worthy heart]

thanks.

[vale wing]

Maybe but I don't visit vcs

Will try them some day probably

[turbid condor]

And there are events which is good too

[vale wing]

Discord is just doing what bots used to do but embedded into interface meaning it's more convenient for users

[turbid condor]

Yeah I'm just waiting when discord will throw welcome cards too

[mighty pilot]

It's kinda the same thing Apple has been doing with the jailbreak scene. Picking the stuff they like and making it a feature

[turbid condor]

Will be good bye to pillow li

[mighty pilot]

I hope pillow stays updated if they do that lol I use it for more than welcome message

[turbid condor]

There are other uses too

But the most i have seen is in welcome messages or those level or profile cards

[mighty pilot]

I use it in a pokemon server to put a users pfp on a pic when they earn a gym badge

[turbid condor]

Ah server games

[shrewd fjord]

frrr

not that stable

i think they as well also shoul remove that "island animation"

[mighty pilot]

Moreso rp than server games tbh

[shrewd fjord]

i always waste some time staring at that animation

[turbid condor]

Tbh never played these games

More of those text based rpg fan

Not the pokemon collection or battle stuff

[worthy heart]

lets say I have an emoji name as given parameter one

how can I add a reaction to a message which reacts with 1️⃣

Using message.add_reaction() maybe

[turbid condor]

Try and see

[shrewd fjord]

for default emojis use unicode

just put \ before the emoji

\1️⃣

\1️⃣

[worthy heart]

let me see

[shrewd fjord]

... they changed? 💀

[worthy heart]

\1️⃣

wtf

!omegalul

it does work for nitro emojis

[shrewd fjord]

\⬆️

just use python command

[worthy heart]

[shrewd fjord]

!unicode 1️⃣

[worthy heart]

wa

[shrewd fjord]

here

[worthy heart]

but

how can I do that programatically

[shrewd fjord]

.add_reaction("\u0031")

[worthy heart]

no like

the conversion to unicode

[shrewd fjord]

hm?

[shrewd fjord]

for some reason not working with the emoji one

it used to work before. maybe just for now google the unicodes or just use the charinfo command

[worthy heart]

the thing is that it is unknown what the reaction could be

its in range

so like

going one by one and getting unicode aint nice

[shrewd fjord]

u are trying to make poll cmd or something?

[worthy heart]

a list and selection menu

[shrewd fjord]

i mean for discord emoji you have to do this lol

When a user submits a modal can I immediately send another modal?

[shrewd fjord]

yes. just inter.response.send_modal again on on_submit

[mighty pilot]

Sweet

[shrewd fjord]

not sure tho ;-; if modal interaction response has send_modal method or not

lol

[alpine oar]

yo i need help with this error PS C:\Users\\Downloads\Discord Bot> & C:/Users//AppData/Local/Programs/Python/Python311/python.exe "c:/Users//Downloads/Discord Bot/Luffy0102.py" Traceback (most recent call last): File "c:\Users\\Downloads\Discord Bot\Luffy0102.py", line 8, in <module> from discord_slash import SlashCommand ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'discord_slash' I did import the module but it still gives me this error

[worthy heart]

how can I compare the emojis after the user reacted?

[shrewd fjord]

a reaction_add role is triggered

tho i prefer using raw one

[worthy heart]

if str(reaction) == '\u274c':
    pass

[shrewd fjord]

!d discord.on_raw_reaction_add

[worthy heart]

this should work?

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_raw\_reaction\_add

discord.on_raw_reaction_add(payload)```
Called when a message has a reaction added. Unlike [`on_reaction_add()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.on_reaction_add), this is called regardless of the state of the internal message cache.

This requires [`Intents.reactions`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Intents.reactions) to be enabled.

[shrewd fjord]

give it a try

this should tho

[severe sonnet]

also i got why my database wasn't working i should had used ctx.bot.database not rpu_database.Database

[worthy heart]

working!

[shrewd fjord]

oh nicee

[shrewd fjord]

ggs

[severe sonnet]

btw i got a new problem that i don't know why it's happening

[shrewd fjord]

yes?

[severe sonnet]

this one

list index out of range

i'm trying everything

changing here and there

but nothing

[shrewd fjord]

oh

never use discord menus kinda sucks ;-;

i rather implement mine but lemme check

[mighty pilot]

I'm not sure if it'll tell me the interaction has been responded to already or not. Gonna have to try it I guess

[severe sonnet]

well, i can't do notihng

since i need to implement the menu

due to the character listing thing

so peoples need to navigate anyways

discord-ext-menu

[hushed galleon]

seems like whatever ListPageSource you passed to your MenuPages had an empty list

[severe sonnet]

oh, strange

since i sent it to send embed to pages if pages is emoty

[gilded cedar]

did anybody have on_command_error problem while developing in nextcord?(Context: it doesnt give user error when they lack of perms)

[severe sonnet]

and i tried doing [embed,] if pages is emoty

*empty

but nothing

[shrewd fjord]

confusing

[severe sonnet]

like, "[a,]" is a tuple

i don't know why it didn't worked

i have no idea what it requires

[naive briar]

That's a list

[severe sonnet]

i see, thouht it's kinda requiring a list

i don't know why just 1 element is out of range

[mighty pilot]

You should print that value and see what it's actually doing

[cloud dawn]

String

[naive briar]

[naive briar]

What library are you using?

[severe sonnet]

it prints nothing

[severe sonnet]

discord-ext-menus

[mighty pilot]

If it prints nothing, then it's nothing.

[severe sonnet]

and same error

[naive briar]

!pypi discord-ext-menus

[unkempt canyon]

discord-ext-menus v1.1

An extension module to make reaction based menus with discord.py

[shrewd fjord]

[severe sonnet]

actually it prints something

[shrewd fjord]

and its....

[mighty pilot]

[severe sonnet]

it prints []

[mighty pilot]

So nothing

[severe sonnet]

empty list

[shrewd fjord]

yup nothing

[severe sonnet]

okay guess i can see where it goes

[shrewd fjord]

[severe sonnet]

this part:

pages = embed if pages is None else pages

[mighty pilot]

It's not None, it's []

[severe sonnet]

like, guess [] is != from None

yep, how do i check if a list is empty?

[fast jackal]

how do i learn discord.py if i know python?

[shrewd fjord]

len(pages)==0

[hushed galleon]

i probably wouldnt trust that package since danny's repo states it should be only installed from there
https://github.com/Rapptz/discord-ext-menus
(discord-ext-menus==1.1 seems to be legit, but its a couple commits behind the repository)

[shrewd fjord]

its going to lead to indexerror

[severe sonnet]

like this:

pages = embed if len(pages) is 0 else pages

after using jishaku, i forgot how to eval in python bot 💀

okay bingooo

That's a start lol now you gotta figure out why there were no results found if you entered something that you expected results for

[mighty pilot]

At what point do I need to start worrying about sharding?

[glad cradle]

discord will send you an error when that's required

error op code 4011

generally when you reach 2500 guilds you'll need to enable sharding

[severe sonnet]

actually that is intentional

[hushed galleon]

https://discord.com/developers/docs/topics/gateway#sharding
i remember somewhere saying you should consider implementing it at 1-1.5k, maybe in the dpy server

[severe sonnet]

i didn't register any character yet

so it don't show anything

[hushed galleon]

ah dpy docs suggest only using their auto-shard client at >1k
https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html?highlight=shard#discord.AutoShardedClient

[mighty pilot]

That's what I thought it was but couldn't remember

Won't need it anytime soon unless a lot of people suddenly want to switch level bots

#bot-commands :P

[severe sonnet]

can i put a list into a embed field value?

or it gonna give me error?

i don't know if this worksa

emb.add_field(name="Name", value = [f"{x[name]}\n" if x is not page[4] else x[name] for x in page])

[glad cradle]

no you can't pass a list to the value kwarg, instead you can iterate over the list and append the values to a string formatting it as you want

[severe sonnet]

isee, what about this:

emb.add_field(name="Name", value = [f"{x[name][num]}\n" if x is not page[display-1] else x[name] for num,x in enumerate(page)])

[glad cradle]

you're still passing a list

what are you trying to do

[severe sonnet]

but don't i acessing the thing of a list?
x[name][num]

oh i see

[glad cradle]

even if it's only one item the whole thing is a list comprehension and creates a list with at least a single item

so it's still a list

[glad cradle]

^

[severe sonnet]

oh, and if i do this:

emb.add_field(name="Name", value = [f"{x[name]}\n" if x is not page[display-1] else x[name] for num,x in enumerate(page)][num])

[severe sonnet]

i'm trying to parse every element from a dict into the value

like names

Name
char x
char y
char z

[glad cradle]

can you send an example of the dict

[severe sonnet]

{
'user_id': 12345,
'name': "char x",
'prompt_prefix': "charx",
'image_url': "image.url"
}

[severe sonnet]

@glad cradle

[glad cradle]

!e

dc = {"name": "s", "user_id": 1, "something": "other"}
print("\n".join([str(i) for i in dc.values()]))

[unkempt canyon]

@glad cradle :white_check_mark: Your 3.11 eval job has completed with return code 0.

001 | s
002 | 1
003 | other

[glad cradle]

you can use join to produce a string from a list

you can also make them display the key and the value

[severe sonnet]

wow

that was much easier

[severe sonnet]

okay help me fix if i'm doing a misstake:

emb.add_field(name="Name", value = "\n".join([str(x["name"]) for x in page]))

[severe sonnet]

what dc.values() do?

i meanthe .values() thing?

[glad cradle]

!d dict.values

[unkempt canyon]

dict.values

values()```
Return a new view of the dictionary’s values. See the [documentation of view objects](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#dict-views).

An equality comparison between one `dict.values()` view and another will always return `False`. This also applies when comparing `dict.values()` to itself:

```py
>>> d = {'a': 1}
>>> d.values() == d.values()
False

[glad cradle]

actually that's not that helpful

[severe sonnet]

oh it return the values in a dict

oh okay

[glad cradle]

basically it returns a list of the values of the dict

[severe sonnet]

can i delimit it to just "name"s?

@glad cradle

[glad cradle]

you want only names to be displayed?

[severe sonnet]

yep

and like the dict is not just 1 dict

but a conjunction of many dicts

[glad cradle]

use dict.items() instead so you also get the key

[severe sonnet]

the key... you mean like x["name"]?

[glad cradle]

!e

dc = {"name": "s"}
print(dc.items())

[unkempt canyon]

@glad cradle :white_check_mark: Your 3.11 eval job has completed with return code 0.

dict_items([('name', 's')])

[glad cradle]

you can iterate over this

[severe sonnet]

i see

[glad cradle]

this is basic python tbh

[severe sonnet]

and if i have like

dict = [{"name": "x"}, {"name": "y"}, {"name": "z"}, {"name": "w"}]

[cloud dawn]

That will give an error.

[vale wing]

Tuple of dicts duh

[glad cradle]

are you sure?

[cloud dawn]

!e ```py
dict = {"name": "x"}, {"name": "y"}, {"name": "z"}, {"name": "w"}

[unkempt canyon]

@cloud dawn :warning: Your 3.11 eval job has completed with return code 0.

[No output]

[glad cradle]

btw you just iterate over it and use the same methods

[cloud dawn]

cursed, python prob converts it to tuple.

[vale wing]

But this code makes no sense + overwriting builtin + wtf that , at the end doing

[glad cradle]

also dict is a bad name for a variable

[severe sonnet]

it's just an example

[cloud dawn]

!e ```py
dictz = {"name": "x"}, {"name": "y"}, {"name": "z"}, {"name": "w"}

print(type(dictz))

[unkempt canyon]

@cloud dawn :white_check_mark: Your 3.11 eval job has completed with return code 0.

<class 'tuple'>

[cloud dawn]

Yap I hate it

[vale wing]

Or did it split into two lines cause I'm on phone

[glad cradle]

I mean that's normal, python tuple packing and unpacking

[severe sonnet]

thought i don't know if his will work:

emb.add_field(name="Name", value = "\n".join([str(x["name"]) for x in page]))

[vale wing]

Probably yes

[glad cradle]

that's it (I'm from mobile too we're cursed)

[vale wing]

Your list comp essentially does this

d = {"a": "amogus", "b": "bobux"}
ls = []
ls.append("a"["name"])
ls.append("b"["name"])

[glad cradle]

at this point I would say that you should focus on learning the basics and grasp loops, lists, dicts and tuples before proceeding

[glad cradle]

I want bobux

why you're so nice... views are too cursed I don't want to see that shit on bobux

[severe sonnet]

1 yes, i want to acess the name in a dict when i have nick
2. yes, both in the same dict
3. yes, there is user_id, there is prompt_prefix and image

like, i use them separated

*separatedly

names in my name field from embed

nick in my nick field from embed

same with the others

like this:

emb.add_field(name="Name", value = "\n".join([str(x["name"]) for x in page]))
emb.add_field(name="Prompt", value = [f"{x[prompt]}\n" if x is not page[display-1] else x[name] for x in page])

Make a list of objects. Best option honestly

is it possible to filter members of a guild by their presence

for example for user in guild.users: if user.presence etc == ??:

[final iron]

uh

[final iron]

So discord.Member.presence doesn't exist as far as I can see

[slate swan]

Yeah i hadnt seen it, just wasnt sure if there was another way

[final iron]

What do you mean by presence?

There's

!d discord.Member.status

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.status

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

[final iron]

There's also

You could possibly use that, but you'd have to be looping it a ton depending on what you're doing or if the server is large which isn't really a good idea

[mighty pilot]

are there any resources besides the api docs that explain the slash command tree a bit better? im lacking in that area of knowledge

[sick birch]

Not that I'm aware of, is there anything in specific you'd like to know

For the most part how the command tree works is abstracted away from you

[mighty pilot]

i was just looking to learn more about it in general. maybe some structure to the tree i guess

i was previously using @app_commands.command() in the main file then adding the command to the tree seperate instead of using bot.tree.command() and i didnt even realize it was wrong lmao

[final iron]

Why am I getting an error?

Is the number too large?

[cloud dawn]

yep

[final iron]

fuck

How should I "keep track" of the user then?

Names can be changed

Is it even possible or would I have to create a prefixed command?

[fading marlin]

Why not use discord.User?

[final iron]

How would a user mention them in the slash command?

[fading marlin]

Through their ID if they're not in the guild, otherwise same as discord.Member

[final iron]

It's not possible to enter an ID though unless you do a str

Also I might be trippin but I'm getting this error
discord.app_commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command 'whitelist' raised an exception: OperationalError: near "user_id": syntax error

That's the command

        await connection.commit()
        await connection.close()

[fading marlin]

You're getting that error because you're expecting an integer. Instead of typing it as user_id: int, you would use user_id: discord.User

[dapper citrus]

Making discord bot is that compl9cated?

[fading marlin]

Depends really

[dapper citrus]

Ye

[final iron]

The code isn't really complicated, there's just a lot of lines

If you go by them step by step they're pretty simple

[dapper citrus]

[grand kettle]

a bot with a lot of commands can have like thousands of lines w/o cogs

I thought you mean't something else

tbh you could probably get better help with that online
search like python asynchronous

[dapper citrus]

[final iron]

Is it an issue with the SQL syntax?

[grand kettle]

i think so

[fading marlin]

I don't think you're supposed to have parenthesis around the value of user_id in your SQL query. You should also sanitize them instead of using an f-string.

[grand kettle]

^^^

[final iron]

Sanitize?

[grand kettle]

absolutely

sql injection is a huge problem

[final iron]

Yeah I didn't need the parenthesis, I just had them because I had other inputs before

Like I'm aware of SQL injection but is it really a worry in this situation or is it just "best practice"?

[grand kettle]

both

[final iron]

How would they inject code in this case?

It's just an ID, nothing user generated

[fading marlin]

For this precise and exact situation, it shouldn't be a problem. Nonetheless it's better to be safe than sorry

[final iron]

Yeah, yeah I'm a big preacher for good practice

[grand kettle]

that's true i didnt actually read the code too thorougly tbh

[final iron]

How would I sanitize it?

[grand kettle]

but it's best to get in the habit of sql sanitization regardless

https://realpython.com/prevent-python-sql-injection/ probably has something good

[fading marlin]

Depends on the SQL language (?) that you're using. For SQLite it's SELECT * FROM foo WHERE val=?, and then you pass the value for val to the next parameter in the execute function

[final iron]

aiosqlite so SQLite

Oh I forgot about the (?) ngl

await cursor.execute("DELETE user_id FROM blacklisted_users WHERE user_id=?", user.id)

Like this right?

[fading marlin]

The value should be inside a tuple, even if you're just sending one

[final iron]

discord.app_commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command 'whitelist' raised an exception: OperationalError: near "user_id": syntax error

    @app_commands.command(name="whitelist", description="Removes a user from the blacklist")

        connection = await aiosqlite.connect("SuggestionData.db")
        cursor: aiosqlite.Cursor = await connection.cursor()
        print(user.id)
        await cursor.execute("DELETE user_id FROM blacklisted_users WHERE user_id=(?)", user.id)

            f"Successfully removed **{user.id}** from the blacklist", ephemeral=True)
        await connection.commit()
        await connection.close()

[fading marlin]

Tuple surrounding user.id, not in the query

[final iron]

What about the ?

Does it matter?

Oh

[fading marlin]

It shouldn't be in between parenthesis

[final iron]

Still showing the error

[fading marlin]

Code?

[final iron]

        await cursor.execute("DELETE user_id FROM blacklisted_users WHERE user_id=?", (user.id))

this is all I changed

[fading marlin]

(user.id) when evaluated becomes the same as simply user.id

[final iron]

So remove the brackets?

[fading marlin]

No, you need to add a comma to signify that you want a tuple, and not just a pair of redundant parenthesis

[grand kettle]

beat me to writing that

[final iron]

So (user.id,)?

[grand kettle]

i think so

[fading marlin]

Correct

[final iron]

Still throws an error 😐

    @app_commands.command(name="whitelist", description="Removes a user from the blacklist")

[fading marlin]

What's the error?

[final iron]

await cursor.execute("DELETE user_id FROM blacklisted_users WHERE user_id=?", (user.id,))

[grand kettle]

wrong thing

[fading marlin]

The traceback please

[grand kettle]

also this is a stretch but chatgpt likes this query instead
DELETE FROM blacklisted_users WHERE user_id=?
if you dont have a database backup, it might be worth having one just in case before running it because i dont know sql

[final iron]

Oh wait

That might be it

It worked 🫡

Thanks

[grand kettle]

np

thank openai ig

[final iron]

@fading marlin Thanks as well for trying 🫡

[fading marlin]

No problem

[grand kettle]

a lot of those probably would've ended up breaking your code anyways so best to fix them before they can

[final iron]

@fading marlin Could you also help me with something else?

I think it's called connection pooling

Basically I want to keep 1 connection to the database open at all times

I'll just commit the data and never close it, saves resources iirc

I did it before like a year ago on a different bot but I accidentally deleted all of the code 💀

I guess I need help creating the framework?

[fading marlin]

I don't think you can easily do that with aiosqlite, I'm not sure though. asqlite already has this implemented though

[final iron]

Are they both just async wrappers for SQlite3?

[fading marlin]

Yeah

[final iron]

I'll look into it

Could you share an example with asqlite?

[final iron]

My commands.Bot instance is subclassed. If it wasn't I could easily create an open connection, I just don't know how to do it in this situation

[fading marlin]

Use create_pool in setup_hook or something alike, and then set the return value to an attribute of your bot

So like ```py

assuming in setup_hook

self.db = await asqlite.create_pool(...)

and then whenever you need to access your database you use ```py
async with ctx.bot.db.acquire() as connection:
    async with connection.cursor() as cursor:
        ...

Don't forget to close the pool whenever you close the bot too

[gilded harness]

import discord

# Define the required intents
intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.message_content = True

bad_words = ["fuck", "shit", "bitch"]

client = discord.Client(intents=intents)

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

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

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

    # Swears function to check and delete messages containing swear words
    async def swears(user_say):
        if any(word in user_say.lower() for word in bad_words):
            response_message = await message.channel.send("Hey!, don't swear")
            await message.delete()
            await response_message.delete(delay=5)  # Delete the response message after 5 seconds

    await swears(message.content)
    # Call the swears function passing the message content```

Heres my code

@hot cobalt

[hot cobalt]

Oh, well yeah, you already have an on_message even. I'm a little confused about why you're defining the swears function in there though 👀

[gilded harness]

swears is to moderate swears whe a user says smth

when*

and all the swears are in the list above

[hot cobalt]

Yes but why have you defined it in there, you may as well just not have defined a separate function when doing it like that

Defining it in a separate file or at the very least outside of the on_message to keep things clean would be the better idea

[gilded harness]

A seperate file from main.py?

[hot cobalt]

If you wanted, at the very least just move it outside of the on_message, it doesn't make much sense defining it in there

[hot cobalt]

Anyhow, that's not important at the moment

on_message already looks at every message the bot can see

[gilded harness]

I found out my discord bot cant see the other channel 🤦‍♂️

[hot cobalt]

So what issues are you running into where it's only looking at one channel?

Sounds like it's just a permission thing then

Give your bot the permissions it needs to see the channels you want and it should be happy

[gilded harness]

Yea the other channel was private

wait so you want me to make the function in a seperate python file??

[gilded harness]

Like this??

What is happening the heck

[hot cobalt]

Well, probably not really. For now just throw it outside of the on_message function

[gilded harness]

Ok got it

[hot cobalt]

You can worry about organising it well later, for now just keep it somewhat clean

[gilded harness]

Message parameter is underlined

since its in function

[short steppe]

that's probably going to suffer from the standard issues with censoring words.

Also, you should be using a discord.Bot since you have commands

[swift siren]

dawg why not just put the file in a cog folder and load the cog extensions on start 😭

[gilded harness]

Im new to this :/

[hot cobalt]

You should have it as a parameter to the swears function

[gilded harness]

Idk about any of this discord bot stuff

[swift siren]

the more knowledge you intake the more you know

[gilded harness]

Then whats the parameter gonna be for on_message if swears will have "message"?

[gilded harness]

Thats why I'm making a discord bot

[hot cobalt]

It's not relevant to on_message

You just need a parameter for the swears function

[gilded harness]

the parameter is user_say

[hot cobalt]

That's one parameter yes

[swift siren]

on_message checks for the messages users send , it has nothing todo

[hot cobalt]

You need another for the message

[gilded harness]

Ohhhh so on_message doesn't relate to chat moderation??

[gilded harness]

Oh

[shrewd fjord]

Sounds like gpt

[gilded harness]

How??

The whole upper chunk is the start for a discord bot

[hot cobalt]

Although I would probably break up the functionality a bit, I would have a dedicated function for checking if a message contains a swear word, and then act on it elsewhere. Something more like ```py
@client.event
async def on_message(message):
...

if contains_swears(message):
    # act on it here

But anyhow

You can just throw another parameter for the message and that'd work as well

[gilded harness]

Im new to this you're making it way more confusing than it should be

[swift siren]

i’m going to be as nice as possible , on_message clarifies in the name on message meaning that if you have set your code to look for a specific message sent by a user , the event will be triggered to its corresponding code

[shrewd fjord]

the commens. only gpt does that

[gilded harness]

Mine functions just fine

[naive briar]

Me when I use GPT2 to generate code:

[hot cobalt]

Correct, I'm suggesting improvements

You can ignore them if you want

[swift siren]

😭😭😭

[shrewd fjord]

💀

[swift siren]

guys give them credit , they trying to learn python

[gilded harness]

Yea thats why I put it in on_message

[naive briar]

Many new learners likes to add comments

So I kinda understand that

[gilded harness]

so when user has "Fuck" it will delete message and say not to swear

[shrewd fjord]

oh nice

but # Uppercase yo wassup

💀

[swift siren]

you need to look at the discord api documents 😭

[short steppe]

Proper English.

[short steppe]

not relevant

[gilded harness]

Whats that? I just use youtube this shit takes soo long

this swear code took me like 30 minutes

[shrewd fjord]

;-;?

[swift siren]

it is relevant , he doesn’t know what anything in the code does

documents on the api exist for a reason 😭💀

[gilded harness]

I do 😡

[short steppe]

From what I can tell, they're having issues with the functions, not the discord.py stuff

[shrewd fjord]

!d discord.on_message

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_message

discord.on_message(message)```
Called when a [`Message`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Message) is created and sent.

This requires [`Intents.messages`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Intents.messages) to be enabled.

Warning

Your bot’s own messages and private messages are sent through this event. This can lead cases of ‘recursion’ depending on how your bot was programmed. If you want the bot to not reply to itself, consider checking the user IDs. Note that [`Bot`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot) does not have this problem.

[shrewd fjord]

:)

[swift siren]

yet he’s asking questions about the whole code itself

[gilded harness]

The only issue I had was my bot not seeing a channel and I thought it was with my code but it was with my permissions and the channel was private

then Jack strted to tell me about organizing my function or smth

[swift siren]

add exception blocks

[gilded harness]

and he over-complicated it so I dismissed it since it works just fine

[swift siren]

do you can see the errors in your terminal

so*

[gilded harness]

Like ZeroDivisionError and stuff?

[short steppe]

on message is just a event called when there is a message. Discord.py gives you the message that was sent

[swift siren]

no 😭😭

[hot cobalt]

Yeah, again, these are just suggestions, if all you want is something that works you can just roll with what you have. You can focus on making clean code later down the line

[gilded harness]

Bro why are you sobbing ...

[gilded harness]

Im just messin around and im tryna get better at my coding

bro is sobbing because im new to this .- .

This is my 3rd time making a discord bot this is the best so far.

[swift siren]

because I find people who don’t know anything bout discord api very unintelligent even tho their a starter and it frustrates me when asking a least obvious question

[gilded harness]

I've been coding python for over a year

1 year and 4 months to be exact

[hot cobalt]

I'd suggest looking into some good design practices, have a peek at how other people have structured their discord bots codebase, or just their projects in general

[swift siren]

I mean your code looks bueno to me but rather you upload the file as a cog, looks neater n js overall easier to organize your commands

[gilded harness]

Im not unintelligent nor am I a starter. also the discord bot documents is the most confusing thing to read you go to the home page and Idk what to click because there's 30 different buttons.

[short steppe]

Are you going to do slash commands?

[shrewd fjord]

nice

[final iron]

Even advanced people make mistakes sometimes

[glad cradle]

what you need the most is the API reference, that being said you can search using the search bar

[swift siren]

not calling you unintelligent because atleast you’re putting in effort into asking for help

[swift siren]

i’m aware

spending hours trying to fix mistakes that could have been handled earlier js gives sm stress

[tight fox]

this is probably a rly dumb question but i quit discord for a while and when i came back, bot.add_cog became a coroutine function, so i made an async function and added all the cogs there instead of just directly running them at the bottom of my code
except now idk how to actually run that function so none of my commands are working

async def setup(bot):
    await bot.load_extension("jishaku")
    await bot.add_cog(Command())

[shrewd fjord]

just add this function on an extenson file

• cogs

• mod.py (has setup function)

• main.py (in setup hook await bot.load_extension('cogs.mod')

[tight fox]

so i make a folder called cogs and put the setup function in it in a file called mod.py?

all my cogs are in main.py

[shrewd fjord]

uhm

then just add the cog normally?

in setup_hook

[tight fox]

what is setup_hook lol

[shrewd fjord]

its a @bot.event

which is called on startup for one time only

[tight fox]

ooo ok ty

[shrewd fjord]

:)

[tight fox]

so

@bot.event
async def setup_hook(bot):
  await bot.add_cog(Command())``` should work?

[shrewd fjord]

yes

[tight fox]

ok tysm

[shrewd fjord]

its coro btw

[tight fox]

oh yea await

[shrewd fjord]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.add_cog

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.add\_cog

await add_cog(cog, /, *, override=False, guild=..., guilds=...)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Adds a “cog” to the bot.

A cog is a class that has its own event listeners and commands.

If the cog is a [`app_commands.Group`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.Group) then it is added to the bot’s [`CommandTree`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.CommandTree) as well.

Note

Exceptions raised inside a [`Cog`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Cog)’s [`cog_load()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Cog.cog_load) method will be propagated to the caller...

[tight fox]

that was kinda the whole point to begin with lol

[shrewd fjord]

actually () it takes no parameter

isnt your bot globally defined in main.py?

[tight fox]

yea it is

[shrewd fjord]

then nice

expecting
Command() is class Command(commands.Cog): then you should be fine

[tight fox]

yes

[shrewd fjord]

async def setup_hook(): it takes no parameter ;-;

[tight fox]

yea i got it

[shrewd fjord]

aight

[tight fox]

i edited again cause thats what it was originally and the convo wouldnt make sense if i fixed it im kinda weird that way

[shrewd fjord]

oh alright

[tight fox]

tysm

[shrewd fjord]

np :)

[tight fox]

Command raised an exception: AttributeError: 'Context' object has no attribute 'trigger_typing'
is it not possible to make the bot pretend that its typing anymore?

[gilded cedar]

does anybody know how to handle errors in nextcord library? (in slash commands also on_command_error doesn't work on slash i think)

[glad cradle]

share your code

[glad cradle]

iirc there's an event error just for slash commands

nevermind there's isn't one

[near coral]

hello is anyone can help about! code theres a question how can I set code like when you join server bot will type like python bot! how to set him! for my own server?

[tight fox]

@commands.command()
    async def edit(self, ctx, *edit):
        #await ctx.trigger_typing()
        if ctx.message.author.id == 546324200177270784 or ctx.message.author.id == 710391286070509608:
            cursor.execute(str(edit[0]))
            await ctx.send("Successfully edited the database!")
            mydb.commit()
        else:
            await ctx.send("You are not allowed to use this command!")```

i commented it for now
i put it in case the bot lags so id actually know its doing something but its not rly necessary

[near coral]

guys is anyone can help about bot?

[slate swan]

Don't ask to ask, just ask.

[near coral]

ok I just need bot when you join to server I want he send direct message to you

I just cant understand it how to fix

[slate swan]

Fix what? You have something already

[near coral]

dude I acctually fix bot its gives error 404

and I alredy need bot when I join someone server he was typing welcome to example server

but its

to direct

[shrewd fjord]

!d discord.TextChannel.typing

[unkempt canyon]

discord.TextChannel.typing

async with typing()```
Returns an asynchronous context manager that allows you to send a typing indicator to the destination for an indefinite period of time, or 10 seconds if the context manager is called using `await`.

Example Usage:

```py
async with channel.typing():
    # simulate something heavy
    await asyncio.sleep(20)

await channel.send('Done!')
```  Example Usage...

[near coral]

@shrewd fjord

[shrewd fjord]

yes?

[tight fox]

oo ok ty

[near coral]

just how to make when some people join to server its types direct to you like welcome!

to mfp! so its gives error

[shrewd fjord]

u can use await ctx.channel.typing() too

[near coral]

when I just typing to vscode

[shrewd fjord]

provide code please

[near coral]

ok

just check my github!!

go to direct messages

I gonna type you just tell you

about it!

[shrewd fjord]

u want the bot to send dm to member when it types ? or something?

[near coral]

bot! bot needs to txt him !

[shrewd fjord]

ok

[near coral]

yes

[shrewd fjord]

user: Hellp
bot: hey

[near coral]

when someone joins server

[shrewd fjord]

this?

[near coral]

no dude if someone joins my server he will. type to you welcome to python discord

for example like that like python command bot he is here! he was typing when someone joins here

[frosty beacon]

is there any way to run background tasks in separate threads. Mention me when answering

[slate swan]

are you talking about hikari-lightbulb?

[viscid aurora]

I think so?

[golden portal]

why in a separate thread? asyncio is for concurrency within a single thread, it's the whole point of asyncio

[frosty beacon]

by running tasks in single thread effect the performance. I am running moree than 10 tasks in background.

[golden portal]

the only thing that "affect" performance is when you do blocking code in async, spawning multiple task doesn't affect your performance, in fact, discord.py spawns a lot of them dispatching your events

[frosty beacon]

ok

[golden portal]

asyncio isn't made for multiple thread, unless you want a terrible performance when you have multiple threads running different event loop for each thread

[frosty beacon]

https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-dev.html#asyncio-multithreading
I am having hard time understanding this

also asyncio.to_thread

[golden portal]

asyncio.to_thread is for running blocking code, but its only for sync functions, run_coroutine_threadsafe is pretty much running async function in another thread, but this is for specific use cases

[frosty beacon]

if i am running a blocking code inside a asyncio.task will it affect my overall performance??

[golden portal]

yes, you're blocking the whole event loop, just put your blocking code in asyncio.to_thread, while leaving the rest of the async outside of it

Example, ```py
async def my_background_task(self):
...
await asyncio.sleep(1)
blocking_code(argument1)
await asyncio.sleep(1)

Just wrap them in it
```py

async def my_background_task(self):
    ...
    await asyncio.sleep(1)
    await asyncio.to_thread(blocking_code, argument1)
    await asyncio.sleep(1)

[frosty beacon]

thanks :p

your setup function in economy.py needs to be async

def setup(bot):
    bot.add_cog(economy(bot))

[golden portal]

your setup function needs to be async at the bottom, same goes with your bot.add_cog, it needs to be awaited since its async

[golden portal]

this is what i meant ```py
async def setup(bot):
await bot.add_cog(economy(bot))

you _await_ async functions to execute them, you put `async` when you define them

[midnight hemlock]

how do we make a discord bot in the first place?

[naive briar]

Ask Discord

[midnight hemlock]

hey discord how are u

[plucky sun]

how to add slash command in?

@golden portal

[naive briar]

!d discord.app_commands.command

[unkempt canyon]

discord.app\_commands.command

@discord.app_commands.command(*, name=..., description=..., nsfw=False, auto_locale_strings=True, extras=...)```
Creates an application command from a regular function.

[naive briar]

!d discord.ext.commands.hybrid_command or this

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.hybrid\_command

@discord.ext.commands.hybrid_command(name=..., *, with_app_command=True, **attrs)```
A decorator that transforms a function into a [`HybridCommand`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.HybridCommand).

A hybrid command is one that functions both as a regular [`Command`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Command) and one that is also a [`app_commands.Command`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.Command).

The callback being attached to the command must be representable as an application command callback. Converters are silently converted into a [`Transformer`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.Transformer) with a [`discord.AppCommandOptionType.string`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.AppCommandOptionType.string) type.

Checks and error handlers are dispatched and called as-if they were commands similar to [`Command`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Command). This means that they take [`Context`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Context) as a parameter rather than [`discord.Interaction`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.Interaction).

All checks added using the [`check()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.check) & co. decorators are added into the function. There is no way to supply your own checks through this decorator.

New in version 2.0.

[river plank]

    embed = discord.Embed(title="Click the Button!", description="Click the button to see a new embed with an image.")
    button = discord.ui.Button(style=discord.ButtonStyle.primary, label="Click Me!")

    view = discord.ui.View()
    view.add_item(button)

    message = await ctx.send(embed=embed, view=view)

    # Wait for the button click
    def check(interaction):
        return interaction.message == message

    interaction = await bot.wait_for("button_click", check=check)

    new_embed = discord.Embed(title="New Embed", description="Here's a new embed with an image.")
    new_embed.set_image(url="")

    await interaction.reply(embed=new_embed)

it sends the button but the interaction fails with no error in the console

[naive briar]

What library are you using

[river plank]

discord.py?

so sorry, its been a while since ive done discord.py so im still trying to find the lay of the land

[lost dove]

maybe ur not getting error bcuz on_command_error eating ur error idk

[plucky sun]

@naive briar Do I need to add anything else somewhere?

[naive briar]

Then there's no such events as button_click

Just set the button's callback

!d discord.ui.Button.callback

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ui.Button.callback

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

The callback associated with this UI item.

This can be overridden by subclasses.

[river plank]

oh thanks

uh could you give an example?

[plucky sun]

@naive briar Do I need to add anything else somewhere?

[golden portal]

class MyView(discord.ui.View):
    @discord.ui.button(style=discord.ButtonStyle.primary, label="Click Me!")
    async def button_callback(self, interaction, button):
        # When button is clicked
        new_embed = discord.Embed(...)
        await interaction.response.send_message(embed=new_embed)

# when you send them
view = MyView()
message = await ctx.send(embed=embed, view=view)

better to just subclass discord.ui.View and use the ui.button decorator

[golden portal]

nope, thats the only deco you need, and then you sync your CommandTree to discord for it to appear

[river plank]

damn uh thanks a ton, it worked super well, uh one last question, how can i disable the button after the new embed is sent?

[cloud dawn]

Pass an empty view

[hushed galleon]

i would have passed none but interesting that an empty view also works

[golden portal]

that would remove the button, if you wanna disable them, just set the button.disabled to True and edit the message with your view in the callback ```py
button.disabled = True
await interaction.response.edit_message(view=self)
await interaction.followup.send(embed=new_embed)

[hushed galleon]

hmm perhaps edit_message() + followup would be more appropriate, in terms of only using interaction endpoints

[golden portal]

oh true idk why i sent a new view there

[cloud dawn]

I would also do None but that's kinda what I meant lol

Why it not printing any thing?

Waittt

intinal_extintions = []

  if filename.endswith(".py"):
    intinal_extintions.append("cogs." + filename[:-3])
  
print(intinal_extintions)

@slate swan

[glad cradle]

idk, is that block of code even reached?

you should show more

[harsh orbit]

I have a folder called cogs and it have a file on it ends in .py + I don't think that anything else in code are important for this thing

[slate swan]

where is this code located?
file structure?

[harsh orbit]

Repl it

[slate swan]

what file is it in ...

[slate swan]

the file access path matters based on the file you try to access it from

its in main.py i suppose

[harsh orbit]

Can you explain more?

[slate swan]

just os.listdir("cogs") is good

[harsh orbit]

Wait

[slate swan]

def get_extensions():
    for file in ...:
        yield file if file.endswith(".py")

for extension in get_extensions():
    # load extensions

[harsh orbit]

Still not printing any thing

[slate swan]

first maybe print out what os.listdir returns

[gloomy dune]

how do i get the same button to pop into chat when the button is clicked i tried this: await ctx.invoke(bot.get_command('test'))
but the code looped and crashed
here my button:

class MyButton(discord.ui.Button):
    async def callback(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):
        await interaction.response.send_message(f"You clicked {self.label}", ephemeral=True)

class YourCustomView(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self, ctx, options):
        super().__init__(timeout=None)
        self.ctx = ctx
        self.options = options
        self.durum = None

        for option in options:
            self.add_item(MyButton(label=option, custom_id=option))

@bot.command()
async def test(ctx):
    options = ["Option 1", "Option 2", "Option 3"] 

    view = YourCustomView(ctx, options)
    await ctx.send("Test message with buttons", view=view)

[hushed galleon]

usually you'd create another view instance and send it with your message

[vestal yew]

I would like to resize the image to dimensions like 512x512, 128x128. How can I do that?

@bot.command()
async def lvl(ctx):
profil = ctx.author.avatar.url

await ctx.send(f"test")
await ctx.send(profil)

@hushed galleon

[hushed galleon]

yes, you get 5 rows fitting up to 5 buttons or 1 select menu

[hushed galleon]

please dont randomly ping me but it looks like you want Asset.with_size()

!d discord.Asset.with_size

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Asset.with\_size

with_size(size, /)```
Returns a new asset with the specified size.

Changed in version 2.0: This function will now raise [`ValueError`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/exceptions.html#ValueError) instead of `InvalidArgument`.

[hushed galleon]

see also https://discord.com/developers/docs/reference#image-formatting

Image size can be any power of two between 16 and 4096.

[gloomy dune]

i tryng like this:

@bot.command()
async def sex(ctx):
    global view
    options = ["Option 1", "Option 2", "Option 3"]  # Replace with your options
    view = YourCustomView(ctx, options)
    await ctx.send("Test message with buttons", view=view)

class MyButton(discord.ui.Button):
    async def callback(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):
        await interaction.response.send_message(f"You clicked {self.label}", ephemeral=True)
        await interaction.response.send_message(view)

        self.durum = None

        for option in options:
            self.add_item(MyButton(label=option, custom_id=option))

but i got this err:

[hushed galleon]

that error means you cant call send_message() twice in a row, to send a view you should do it the same way as in your command

[slate swan]

attatch view to first response

[hushed galleon]

i.e. send_message(..., view=view)

[gloomy dune]

ty

yes its working rn

[severe sonnet]

how do i make the bot await for a response by chat?
i'm planning to do it like when you blacklist a swearing and stuff
like when you blacklist the n word, the r word and any slur word

!d discord.on_message

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_message

discord.on_message(message)```
Called when a [`Message`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Message) is created and sent.

This requires [`Intents.messages`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Intents.messages) to be enabled.

Warning

Your bot’s own messages and private messages are sent through this event. This can lead cases of ‘recursion’ depending on how your bot was programmed. If you want the bot to not reply to itself, consider checking the user IDs. Note that [`Bot`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot) does not have this problem.

[slate swan]

This is called on every message

[severe sonnet]

can i see an example?

[viscid aurora]

@lightbulb.option("coins", "The number of coins to flip.", int, default=1)
@lightbulb.command("flip", "Flip some coins.")
@lightbulb.implements(commands.SlashCommand)
async def flip(ctx: lightbulb.context.Context) -> None:
    coins = ctx.options.coins
    if coins <= 0:
        await ctx.respond("Invalid number of coins.")
        return
    
    flipList = []
    heads = 0
    tails = 0
    for _ in range(coins):
        flipList.append(random.choice(["Heads", "Tails"]))
        if flipList[-1] == "Heads":
            heads += 1
        else:    
            tails += 1
    
    response = f"Flipping {coins} coins.\n"
    response += f"Flipped {heads} heads and {tails} tails.\n"
    response += f"{', '.join(flipList)}"

    if len(response) > 2000:
        response = f"Coin flip body too long.\nFlipping {coins} coins.\n Total Heads: {heads}, Total Tails: {tails}."
    
    await ctx.respond(response)

So I have this command using hikari-lightbulb. How would I send the "invalid number of coins." message as an ephemeral message?

[smoky patrol]

I want to make a discord keyword autopinger for embeds. Like a user can set specific keywords for him. And if these keywords are found in a embed all the users that have this keyword will get a ping. How can I do this? I already have a code for a big database with keywords and a message that is sender, but with specific keywords for every user and DMs it is harder

[final iron]

Are you asking how to setup this in code or how to structure your DB?

[smoky patrol]

Both haha

[final iron]

So for the DB you could just have the users id as the primary key, then have a list with strings of the keywords

Have you learnt SQL syntax yet?

[velvet tinsel]

Why is my bot erroring with a static token? I’ve inputted the correct token, updated discord.py, and also reset my token and inputted it. But it still shows, why is that?

[shrewd apex]

thats logs not error

[velvet tinsel]

Yeah log thing

Is regional issues a contributing factor? Because I’m in China atm, not sure whether or not the firewall is trying to bitch about it

[shrewd apex]

no? its just discord.py logging

it shows for me as well

[velvet tinsel]

But why is it happening?

[final iron]

I'm getting a missing access error when trying to send to a channel, is there anything I would need to enable?

 channel = interaction.guild.get_channel()
        print(type(channel))
        msg = await channel.send(content=str(self.description), delete_after=10)
        await interaction.response.send_message(f'Submitted. {msg.jump_url}!', ephemeral=True)

[shrewd apex]

wdym why bro they have a internal logger which prints that to console

[final iron]

I'm getting discord.errors.Forbidden: 403 Forbidden (error code: 50001): Missing Access

[naive briar]

The bot's permission to view and/or send messages to that channel

[velvet tinsel]

It times me out afterwards

[naive briar]

🤷

[shrewd apex]

u sure ur bot is in that server? and has perms to view the channel

[shrewd apex]

send a traceback

[final iron]

It's able

[velvet tinsel]

I’m not really following your point

[final iron]

Yup, it's been sending messages in it

[velvet tinsel]

Gimme like maybe one hour I’ve just left my computer for lunch

😭

[naive briar]

Then the error wouldn't have been raised

[shrewd apex]

sure

[knotty ice]

He’s saying is the bot visible on the channel members list and has the correct permissions to read/ and or write messages, etc

[final iron]

It can send messages

Same channel im fetching

[knotty ice]

That was the other, not sure what’s wrong w/ yours 😭

[final iron]

It's not showing on the members channel list if that matters

[naive briar]

Then it doesn't have access to that channel

[final iron]

it does tho

How would it be sending messages without access

[hushed galleon]

interactions bypass the regular permissions iirc

[shrewd apex]

https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/2e2f20c6d5a7d938c1f9546dcf9a187694272e9a/discord/client.py#L603

[unkempt canyon]

discord/client.py line 603

_log.info('logging in using static token')```

[knotty ice]

Ahhh, correct channel ID specified in your code? I usually just get it from the URL of the channel itself

[naive briar]

Ooooooo, just remembered that

[final iron]

Oh that would do it

[shrewd apex]

^^

[final iron]

Aight ty

I'll get the owner to give it permissions

[hushed galleon]

is it always going to send to the current channel, or to that specific channel?

if its the former you could get away with followup, if its the latter you could tell the user to re-run the command in that channel so followup works

[final iron]

Sends a message to that channel, then responds to the interaction with a jump url

It'll always be that 1 hardcoded channel

[viscid aurora]

Thank you! been trying to figure this out for a week.

[meager rock]

it's probably your firewall or antivirus blocking websocket/http connection

[velvet tinsel]

correct

[velvet tinsel]

unsurprising

thanks for the help

[meager rock]

Btw you can ask in hikari support for quicker support (.gg/hikari)

[velvet tinsel]

time to wait a week until I return to Britain

[meager rock]

no worries

[viscid aurora]

wow I looked for a more specific discord, but apparently not hard enough, thanks again.

[cloud dawn]

Or get a vpn

[velvet tinsel]

im pretty sure the internet im connected to has a firewall, so I'm gonna head home and test if the vpn works there

[cloud dawn]

Do you need to portforward?

[velvet tinsel]

What’s that?

[cloud dawn]

The open a port in a firewall, if you don't need to do that you can easily use a VPN.

!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 Paste! button in the bottom left, or by pressing CTRL + S. After doing that, you will be navigated to the new paste's page. Copy the URL and post it here so others can see it.

[urban parrot]

guys

I need help cos python keeps closing my godamn channel after 1 hour

Hey you guys
I have a discord bot
and it is not assigning permissions peoperly.
lemme explain:
It's a basketball game,which I am making with discord.py
Whenyou first creates a channel, it gets a random user and "gives them the ball"/
So it disables everyone's permissions to send messages BUT this randiom user
That isnt teh problem though. Let me explain:
When the random member has dribbled, I wanna change permissions so the the other team gets a chance to move forward or something
So my expected resuklt is that, if we were 1v1ing, when I send the dribble command on one account, it disables perms on my account and gives permsto the person on the other team
My problem is that it does the latter (giving permsto the other person) but not the former (disabled the firts random membe's perms)
whats wrong

mycode:

@client.command()
async def dribbleforward(ctx,distance:int):
   user_id = ctx.author.id
   global channel
   if ctx.channel.id == created:
        async with basketballdb.execute("SELECT iduser, xpos FROM game WHERE iduser = ? ", (user_id,)) as cursor:
            curse = await cursor.fetchone()
            x = curse[1]
            if ctx.author in client.team_two:
                print("NICE!")
                new_x = x-distance
                redone = x
                x = new_x
