Does discord.utils.get only get objects that are already cached, or can it be used on any object?

Or am I thinking about fetch_message

[slate swan]

when u send an embed msg with bot, how do u do so if 20 secs passed bot "forgets" that msg?

like, reaction does not work anymore

[upbeat ice]

you should defer the interaction and followup

[slate swan]

i should what? XD

[upbeat ice]

!d discord.InteractionResponse.defer

[unkempt canyon]

discord.InteractionResponse.defer

await defer(*, ephemeral=False, thinking=False)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Defers the interaction response.

This is typically used when the interaction is acknowledged and a secondary action will be done later.

This is only supported with the following interaction types...

[slate swan]

ty

and can i not have a prefix?

[upbeat ice]

generally th ough reactions timeout after 3 seconds

[slate swan]

like, if $p is a command, can i just do p?

[upbeat ice]

i believe you have to have a prefix

short of putting all your commands in on_message events - which i do not recommend

[slate swan]

i see

[final iron]

It's possible

I'd read this though

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.command_prefix

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.command\_prefix

The command prefix is what the message content must contain initially to have a command invoked. This prefix could either be a string to indicate what the prefix should be, or a callable that takes in the bot as its first parameter and discord.Message as its second parameter and returns the prefix. This is to facilitate “dynamic” command prefixes. This callable can be either a regular function or a coroutine.

An empty string as the prefix always matches, enabling prefix-less command invocation. While this may be useful in DMs it should be avoided in servers, as it’s likely to cause performance issues and unintended command invocations.

[upbeat ice]

honestly im not even sure why the api allows this

[slate swan]

cause its not done via api its handled on client side

[final iron]

Useful for certain use-cases

[upbeat ice]

i was referring to the discord.py api

[final iron]

huh

discord.py doesn't have an API

[upbeat ice]

okay fine - the api wrapper lol

[slate swan]

i guess he means wrapper by api

[drifting arrow]

What causes this? discord.errors.NotFound: 404 Not Found (error code: 10062): Unknown interaction? I am using interaction.defer
and It happens so rarely. Never for me tho.

[upbeat ice]

Can you show the code and traceback

[drifting arrow]

I cant show the traceback, already deleted it.

I can share that portion of the code tho.

[upbeat ice]

best guess is that your code is taking longer than 3 seconds to defer

[drifting arrow]

hhmm

alright i'll change where I defer then

[south pendant]

Hello, I was wondering if anyone knows if discord is still in a sandbox enviroment thats the info I am getting from chatgbt or if that has changed/updated struggling to get info on this past 2021.

[upbeat ice]

you mean discord.py?

[final iron]

wdym sandbox environment

Like I understand what it is, but I don't see how it's applicable for discords API

[south pendant]

I might have asked my question in the wrong chat maybe. But basically I am trying to make a discord bot where it replys with a link and opens up a metamask transaction without opening up a internet browser and I have been trouble shooting this for a couple days even asking chatgbt and it says that its not possible to do this due to the "Sandbox enviroment for discord"

[final iron]

wdym

Like it opens a website, inside Discord?

[south pendant]

no no opens a google extenstion of meta mask (crypto wallet) without opening up a google browser with a website its pretty complex but for some reason chatgbt says this is not possible due to discord sandbox enviroment so I am just trying to figure out is this true or whats up with that situation

[final iron]

I'm not sure what a sandbox environment has to do with this

Either you're not making any sense, or I'm out of my depth

We will wait for somebody else to see which is true

Because honestly, I have no clue

[drifting arrow]

whelp. here's an error I cant figure out how to fix ;-;

[final iron]

Show the json

[drifting arrow]

It's being pulled from an API lol

this kind of error pops up occasionally because the size of the json response is massive

As u can see, in this 1 response, almost 7million characters.

!pastebin

[final iron]

Alr I don't need it lol

I'm not to experienced with this type of stuff

Could you share the code? Maybe I could spot something

[south pendant]

I am trying to create a based on a link my discord bot gives you a crypto transaction to take place and Chatgbt is telling me that is not possible due to a sandbox enviroment

[final iron]

Why wouldn't it be possible

[south pendant]

mainly because I dont want to have a webpage/website open up rather I just want the crypto wallet/transaction and thats what chatgbt say is not possible due to sandbox enviroment

[final iron]

How are you trying to process the transaction

Is there an API?

[south pendant]

yes but the process is through a third party crypto wallet/transcation google extentsion app

[final iron]

So you need to use a Google extension without opening a web browser?

[sick birch]

I don't really do web3/crypto stuff but this doesn't really seem possible without the user giving you their wallet address and password or whatever is used to secure wallets

[final iron]

This probably

[quick brook]

looking at the dpy masterclass and just noticed that in the using intents section, the prefixed commands calls all intents

u just need message_content and that's it

in fact i actually don't recommend using .all() bc it's actually a footgun

i had this one bot owner who just shoved .all() intents and grew to 100 servers, and never got the intents verified

and thus the bot is offline

i'll write a database section in a bit

once i finish with work

[final iron]

When I make my bot public I'm only going to use the intents I require ngl

If I somehow get it to 100 servers I want it to be verified

[quick brook]

yea

[final iron]

So when I do that, how should I format it?

Because I just don't want to have a shit ton of ... = True in my code

Subclass?

[quick brook]

idk. discord.Intents.default() enables all of the intents except presence, member, and message_content

[final iron]

Yeah but I mean, I'm going to go through each one and disable/enable it

i.e I'll set typing to False

[quick brook]

lemme look through the source for discord.Intents for a sec

typo oops

[final iron]

big typo

[quick brook]

happens all of the time to me

[torn sail]

You can set intents in the Intents constructor

[final iron]

!d discord.Intents.default

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Intents.default

classmethod default()```
A factory method that creates a [`Intents`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Intents) with everything enabled except [`presences`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Intents.presences), [`members`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Intents.members), and [`message_content`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Intents.message_content).

[final iron]

Oh true

[quick brook]

that option also works

[final iron]

I might subclass for shits and giggles anyway

[quick brook]

yea i was thinking the same

[final iron]

idk I feel like it just looks neater

[quick brook]

agreed

[wispy pasture]

what things does a mod-log has?
to name a few:
message delete
edit
join
leave
what else?

[shrewd apex]

iirc i did put a note for that in first part

[quick brook]

yes it is there but for the example section "Writing the Code", it is not explicitly told. Users will just copy and paste and then find it out later that it's a footgun

[shrewd apex]

thats fair but if their bot actually grows to about 100 servers i think they would be aware

[quick brook]

you need to set the precedent within the code saying that "hey you should use discord.Intents.default() instead" and then explain why

[shrewd apex]

or atleast a decent amount of coding experience

[quick brook]

trust me some dont

[shrewd apex]

yeah thats true but then again if i do it for all code snippets then it would just be burdensome maybe i should do it for the first few ones

[shrewd apex]

🗿

[quick brook]

u know that im already planning to cover some of the sections

[shrewd apex]

aight cool

[shrewd apex]

we have a server for this would u like to join?

[quick brook]

no thanks

[shrewd apex]

ah ok

[quick brook]

and for the advanced bot example, you know there is something called async with

[shrewd apex]

yeah

[quick brook]

in fact, aiohttp.ClientSession() automatically supports closing with ctx managers

and that's the recommended way of doing it

[shrewd apex]

thats true

but if u have a lot of dependencies which form connections and require cleanup its tidier defining it

u can always override the aexit method anyways

[quick brook]

most of them support ctx managers iirc

asyncpg does

i plan on writing a primer on how to effectively use databases with dpy since most bots end up using databases in some form or way

[shrewd apex]

make one with mongo and one with pgsql

from setup to connection and writing

[quick brook]

only asyncpg and asqlite bc folks have reported connections constantly dropping and mysql has no atomic ddl. and also no mongo

only sqlite and pg

[shrewd apex]

that would be a cool tutorial

sql db providers are generally paid so a bunch of ppl use mongo

[quick brook]

This is the reason why I refuse to cover mongodb support:

MongoDB is a NoSQL database that stores data as documents in BSON format. Not recommended in general as most of Discord data you are storing is relational (e.g. economy things) while mongodb is for non-relational data, hence there is no reason to use NoSQL over SQL to store relational data.

[quick brook]

just host it on the same machine as your vps

done and simple. and then just restrict all connections to only localhost

also motor is basically pymongo but wrapped in an run_in_executor

i would be interested if something wrote a full cython/c/rust version of motor but only using the direct i/o instead

[shrewd apex]

ok ok just saying cause its still a pretty popular choice and beginners generally dont have vps or much knowledge about this so i would prefer a comparison and a tutorial for both cases

[quick brook]

popular doesn't automatically make it good

[shrewd apex]

yeah but it still makes it an option

i mean its still viable with an orm right

like prisma altho the python client is in dev state iirc

[quick brook]

generally speaking of ORMs just add more complexity than needed. ORMs require the firsthand knowledge of SQL. If you don't know SQL, then there isn't any point of using an ORM because the concepts are fudmentally the same

directly using drivers is the most simple options

[shrewd apex]

i mean if u want to use asyncpg and benefit from relational models u will still need sql and db knowledge

no way around it

[quick brook]

that's the point. ORMs also completely limit your control when it comes to the scope of what you can do

[shrewd apex]

yeah

but for beginners i doubt they would stumble upon a case where they need to make raw queries

but entirely upto what you prefer to use ig

[quick brook]

i mostly prefer raw drivers such as asyncpg

[shrewd apex]

same but i dont always have a vps or vm at my disposal 😔

so i end up using a bunch of diff db

mongo, sql, firebase (this one is decent for web dev)

[quick brook]

i mean heznter is always a good option

[shrewd apex]

dont have financial freedom to make that choice 💀 parents gonna kill me, I'll just host stuff on my rpi when i buy a heatsink this year later

[quick brook]

rpi is still a somewhat decent to host

[shrewd apex]

yeah

[quick brook]

i personally just go with vps providers and then go from there.

[shrewd apex]

thats cool

[quick brook]

what i end up doing is creating vms that replicate the environment of the production server that i plan on running and then do all of my configuration on the vm server

by the time the production server goes live, I already have all of the configs i need ready to go

[shrewd apex]

ig I'll get a vm in future setup docker then should be good to go I'll prolly get hetzner, or digital ocean

[quick brook]

both are good options tbh

[shrewd apex]

[left dew]

how do i delete a message that has been sent by await interaction.response.send_message(embed=em)?

[buoyant quail]

!d discord.Interaction.delete_original_response

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Interaction.delete\_original\_response

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

Deletes the original interaction response message.

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

[left dew]

do you know how i can delete 2 messages that have been sent by await interaction.response.send_message(embed=em)? because i am sending what they have reacted to and when both have reacted i want to delete the interaction message and both the responses

[buoyant quail]

You can't send two messages with send_message

If you use something like followup, it returns the message as usual sends

so you do message = await interaction.followup.send(...) and await message.delete()

[left dew]

i just tried that but i get an Unkown Webhook error

followup can be used only when you already responded to the interaction
if you used some other way to send the second message, it also should return the message i believe

oh

when ive used await interaction.response.send_message(embed=em), it sends the embed for each user but i jsut cant find out how to delete both

[buoyant quail]

That can't be possible.
send_message will work only once, second would give an error

show the code you had before editing

async def foo(interaction: discord.Interaction):

sends hi 1 and gives error

i only use it once

but it sends 2 because its waiting for 2 reactions

[slate swan]

[buoyant quail]

You said you sent them with interaction.response.send_message ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[left dew]

i have

[buoyant quail]

You did that with channel.send , no?

[left dew]

huh

i didnt send anything with channel.send

[buoyant quail]

            `await interaction.channel.send(embed=conf, view=agree_view2)`

so it returns the message and you can do anything you want with it (delete in your case)

message = await interaction.channel.send(embed=conf, view=agree_view2)
await message.delete()

[buoyant quail]

:hi:

[naive briar]

Me when I send a message and delete it immediately 🐈

[slate swan]

[slate swan]

its only for self bots to see

🤫

[left dew]

how do i go about deleting the two messages i want to?

[buoyant quail]

ah i understood what's going on

Then fetch the message to delete it later

!d discord.Interaction.original_response

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Interaction.original\_response

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

Fetches the original interaction response message associated with the interaction.

If the interaction response was a newly created message (i.e. through [`InteractionResponse.send_message()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.InteractionResponse.send_message) or [`InteractionResponse.defer()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.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).

Repeated calls to this will return a cached value.

[buoyant quail]

On first click you save message, on second click you save the message. And then delete them both

[left dew]

save the message id?

[buoyant quail]

saving just the message object would be easier

because for message only id is not enough

[left dew]

so like store them in a reference?

that?

[buoyant quail]

.

this fetches the responded message

send_message doesn't return it

[naive briar]

response.send_message doesn't return the sent message

[left dew]

im confused

so i useawait original_response()?

[buoyant quail]

it's a method
but yes

[left dew]

i dont understand what you're saying

[naive briar]

It's a method of interaction objects

[slate swan]

its not a function its interaction method

[naive briar]

[left dew]

if send_message doesnr return it then what do i use?

[naive briar]

Use for what

[slate swan]

this?

[left dew]

how does that send the message

[naive briar]

It doesn't, it fetches the sent message

[left dew]

        em = discord.Embed(description=f"{interaction.user.mention} has reacted to 'Agree'", color=discord.Color.green())
        await interaction.response.send_message(embed=em)
        msg = await original_response() ```

like that?

[naive briar]

No, it's a method

[left dew]

and i store the msg?

oh

then what do i do

[naive briar]

I

[buoyant quail]

use it as method

[left dew]

i dont know what that means

[buoyant quail]

in that code you'd get error because original_response is not defined

[naive briar]

function()

instance.method()

See the difference

[left dew]

msg = await interaction.original_response()

[naive briar]

Yes

[left dew]

okay

and then i'd store the msg?

[buoyant quail]

yes

[left dew]

store them in a variable?

[buoyant quail]

yes

[left dew]

would i have to do?

user2 = msg```

cuz there's 2 users

[slate swan]

If its the same message then one varriable ja enough

[buoyant quail]

The thing you did first with the list was easier

But if you want you can do like that ofc

[left dew]

i dont know how i'd delete it tho

is it just msg.delete or

[buoyant quail]

yes.
you already did it multiple times even before asking, just in your original code

why don't you know it now

[left dew]

i get an attribute error

AttributeError: 'Interaction' object has no attribute 'orginal_response'

oh

nvm

[lofty lance]

@slate swan hey sir can we have a vc chat
i want to discuss soemthing related to my bot to ya

[left dew]

ye i still get this error

[buoyant quail]

it's original_response not orginal_response

[left dew]

jee how didnt i see that

[left dew]

its still only deleteing one

[buoyant quail]

Show current code

[left dew]

    @discord.ui.button(row=0, label='Agree', style=discord.ButtonStyle.green, custom_id="agree", disabled=False)
    async def button_callback2(self, button, interaction):
        em = discord.Embed(description=f"{interaction.user.mention} has reacted to 'Agree'", color=discord.Color.green())
        await interaction.response.send_message(embed=em)
        msg = await interaction.original_response()
        user1 = msg
        user2 = msg
        if interaction.user.id == self.user1_id:
            self.user1_has_agreed = True
        elif interaction.user.id == self.user2_id:
            self.user2_has_agreed = True

        if self.user1_has_agreed and self.user2_has_agreed:
            await interaction.message.delete()
            await user1.delete()
            await user2.delete()```

[buoyant quail]

Because your user1 and user2 is the same one message

[left dew]

so i have to do 2 msg = await interaction.original_response()?

[buoyant quail]

No. You have to set first variable first time and second variable second time. That's why using a list was much easier

[buoyant quail]

.

[left dew]

class Agree2(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self, user1_id, user2_id):
        super().__init__(timeout=None)
        self.user1_id = user1_id
        self.user2_id = user2_id
        self.user1_has_agreed = False
        self.user2_has_agreed = False
        self.message_references = []

    @discord.ui.button(row=0, label='Agree', style=discord.ButtonStyle.green, custom_id="agree", disabled=False)
    async def button_callback2(self, button, interaction):
        em = discord.Embed(description=f"{interaction.user.mention} has reacted to 'Agree'", color=discord.Color.green())
        await interaction.response.send_message(embed=em)
        msg = await interaction.original_response()
        self.message_references.append(msg)

that?

[buoyant quail]

yes

[left dew]

then

           for message_reference in self.message_references:
                await message_reference.delete()```

[buoyant quail]

yes

[left dew]

yessss it worked

tysm 🙌🏼

[wispy pasture]

so this is my code:
https://srcb.in/b4Y2OMPwkP

and the bot keeps on sending embed after 1 minute...

[wicked atlas]

because that's what you told it to do?

  async def update_timeout_countdown():
        while get_remaining_time().total_seconds() > 0:
            formatted_remaining = f"<t:{int(timeout_until.timestamp())}:R>"
            
            embed = discord.Embed(
                title="User Timed Out",
                color=discord.Color.green()
            )
            embed.add_field(name="User", value=member.mention)
            embed.add_field(name="Moderator", value=ctx.author.display_name)
            embed.add_field(name="Reason", value=reason)
            embed.add_field(name="Time Remaining", value=formatted_remaining)
            
            await ctx.send(embed=embed)
            
            await asyncio.sleep(60)  # Update every 1 minute
        
        await member.edit(timed_out_until=None)
    
    asyncio.ensure_future(update_timeout_countdown())

You also shouldn't need to update that timestamp, since it's a fixed point in time discord just changes what it displays

[wispy pasture]

oh yeah.... 😅

[wicked atlas]

and timeouts expire by themselves, yeah?

[wispy pasture]

yup

What's a free way to host a discord bot? Python anywhere won't let you use websocket on free plan. Replit works but crashes even with the uptimebot manager and keep_alive.py. I need something free and simple for hosting the python scripts

[meager chasm]

!hosting

[unkempt canyon]

Discord Bot Hosting

Using free hosting options like repl.it or Heroku for continuous 24/7 bot hosting is strongly discouraged.
Instead, opt for a virtual private server (VPS) or use your own spare hardware if you'd rather not pay for hosting.

See our Discord Bot Hosting Guide on our website that compares many hosting providers, both free and paid.

You may also use #965291480992321536 to discuss different discord bot hosting options.

[meager chasm]

some vps providers have free tiers

[turbid condor]

The only ones i know of are aws (has 1 year free trial) and daki

But free hosting has a downside that it uses shared ip

[slate swan]

gcp

[turbid condor]

Gcp the one by google?

[slate swan]

yes

[turbid condor]

Doesn't it have credit system and i think you receive 300 credits free?

[slate swan]

yeah

300$ to spend

if you play it good you have half a year free VM

[turbid condor]

🤔

Welp I'll stick to using my old phone for hosting

[obsidian fable]

is it possible to make ui.Button redirect to another link?

[buoyant quail]

Wdym by "another link"? You can redirect to anywhere

[obsidian fable]

like theres these ui buttons with an arrow

and it brings you outside of discord

[buoyant quail]

Yes
And what do you want instead?

discord.Guild.member\_count

property member_count```
Returns the member count if available.

Warning

Due to a Discord limitation, in order for this attribute to remain up-to-date and accurate, it requires [`Intents.members`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Intents.members) to be specified.

Changed in version 2.0: Now returns an `Optional[int]`.

just add simple if in that listcomp

@slate swan Is this it?

[quick brook]

Sounds like you have Internet issues

[quick brook]

Please make sure you read this fully

When you look for hosting your bot, you might be tempted to use free services or providers that claim to support hosting discord bots (eg PebbleHost and others). Do not uses them. Why? Let me explain.

Free hosts and tiers always have drawbacks - The point of a free tier or a host is to get the user to use their product, and upgrade for all of the good features. Hosts such as replit (see ?tag replit for more info) use shared cpus, oftentimes will run into ratelimits, and have "gotchas" that make you tempted to upgrade to their paid tiers. They also literally remove all control out of how you run your bot. Think about it: Hosts need to make money somehow in order to either break even or gain profit. So naturally they will tempt you into upgrading in order to do that. This is basic economics and quite literally how businesses run.

If you are still looking for a host after reading this, then you have some options. And here are them:

1. Pay up - Pay up and use a VPS provider. My pick is Heznter, but see ?tag vps for the full list (if you are on the Python discord server, then see !hosting for your options). More than likely if you are not an eligible HS or uni student, this is your option.

2. Self Host - If you are able to self host your own server, then go for it. This is really the only "free" way if you already pay for your electricity bill and have the equipment to do so

3. GitHub Student Developer Pack - IF you are an eligible student in an verified HS or college (you will need to either provide an valid student ID or proof of education of your HS or college. school transcripts work in this case), then you may apply for this deal. The deal offers $200 free credits on DigitalOcean for 6 months, so if you are a student and need to host your bot, go for it.

[quick brook]

daki is jackshit so...

oracle is free

but u need a credit card

[quick brook]

[quick brook]

It doesn't matter. You will run into file corruption, locks and instability issues with it

[glad cradle]

it's easier until you have to handle file corruption and other shit

[quick brook]

Json is a data serialization format, that turns primitive data structures into a string.
A database is a formalized system designed to store and retrieve data, with a substantial
number of features and functionalities designed to support doing so at various scales,
and with a large number of guarantees.
A Json file as-a-db* is fundamentally flawed due to its lack of atomic writes
which results in data corruption and loss when:
• The disk runs out of storage
• The program crashes during the write
• The computer crashes during write
• Two programs try to write to the file at the same time
Additionally:
‣ All reads require the entire file to be read
‣ All reads require the entire structure to be loaded into memory *this does make it fast!
‣ All writes require the entire file to be re-written
The Json module makes no effort to ameliorate any of these concerns, because json-as-a-db falls
completely and entirely out of the scope of the standard.
If you need the file to be portable and want minimum setup, use sqlite, a standard designed to
solve all these issues.
*Using the json stdlib module

SQLite is the recommended option here

If you want to use a thin wrapper around sqlite3 and make it work with asyncio, consider using this:

[glad cradle]

yeah

[final iron]

cool

[buoyant quail]

(any iterable object)

[final iron]

The nested if statements are killing me

[quick brook]

I still don't understand why op needs to use JSON as a db. Like the size of your bot doesn't matter

[final iron]

I dunno, I guess they think it's okay because their bot isn't going to be used much

[buoyant quail]

because you don't need to know anything for it
you can use mongodb then though

[quick brook]

SQLite with WAL enabled is already pretty fast

[final iron]

This honestly

No need to learn SQL or anything

[slate swan]

from experience, don't use mongoDB for a discord bot in my opinion

[quick brook]

Mongo is trash anyways

It's an well maintained db but not suited for the task of dbots

Most data you will find you need to store is relational, meaning that they form relationships

And if you are looking for MongoDB bc of it's clustering and sharding abilities, PostgreSQL can do the exact same thing

[slate swan]

pymongo/motor-asyncio annoys me with dodgy type hinting, at least that's my experience

[quick brook]

Also motor is pretty much trash as well bc of the lack of type hinting

They still use mypy

done

[slate swan]

yeah i know its easy to add i just dont know why discord.py dev team doesnt want to add that builtin

[buoyant quail]

to not have too much function mb
get and fetch and getch

though it could go to utils

[slate swan]

[slate swan]

i really dont get what decisions are supposed to make with it

[buoyant quail]

mhm

[slate swan]

(Danny is owner of discord.py if you are not aware)

[buoyant quail]

decisions

[slate swan]

problem with that is that there are many models

not only channels but Member, User, Message

[buoyant quail]

iterate over methods and if it starts with get and there is the same thing with fetch, create a getch

[slate swan]

and what is worse there is for example Message which is not accessable via Bot instance so you cant really make custom method for it unless it would accept the abc.Messageable

[buoyant quail]

i guess there are not a lot of thing like this one

for that just setattr

[slate swan]

nah, modify source

[buoyant quail]

not interesting

async def get_or_fetch_member(

[slate swan]

now i see what "decistions" must be made

[buoyant quail]

i don't :p

[glad cradle]

monkeypatches are better

[slate swan]

apply_monkeypatches()

[glad cradle]

yeah!

[slate swan]

i forgot the provided id might be invalid

so it still returns Optional xd

[buoyant quail]

That looks fine for me
Though since usually mine ids are correct (h), then it means it some id given by the user, so i'd use strict and get an error

[glad cradle]

well that's a brain issue and at least you get an error

if strict is enabled

[slate swan]

raise BrainIssue() from e

[slate swan]

I think partially due to the differing behaviour between get and fetch
get simply returns None if the channel isn't found whereas fetch raises an exception, so how exactly would a getch method behave?
It's easy enough for someone to implement and control this themselves if one outcome is preferable over the other so it's not really worth being added as a built-in in my opinion

[quick brook]

oftentimes it's down to design. get will always be a cached call (take commands.Bot.get_channel() for example), thus it will not contact the API for the information. fetch will always make an API call (consider commands.Bot.fetch_channel() for example) no matter what

with this design, I implement my coros to have the same exact design principle

[slate swan]

yeah reasonable

[slate swan]

well it wont fetch the api when its found in the cache

[quick brook]

now with get_or_fetch_* methods, it first does an cached lookup and then if not found, contact the API

that's pretty much the point

in my case, when I have a feature that can be enabled/disabled (this is implemented as a check), what I do instead is my coro first looks up the cached config or value on Redis, and returns that. If not found, it will get the data from Postgres instead, and then update or create a new value based on the key on Redis

async def get_or_fetch_enabled_status(
    guild_id: int, pool: asyncpg.Pool, redis_pool: ConnectionPool
) -> Union[bool, None]:
    query = """
    SELECT pins
    FROM guild
    WHERE id = $1;
    """
    key = f"cache:kumiko:{guild_id}:guild_config"
    cache = KumikoCache(redis_pool)
    if await cache.cache_exists(key=key):
        return await cache.get_json_cache(key=key, path=".pins", value_only=False)  # type: ignore
    else:
        status = await pool.fetchval(query, guild_id)
        if status is None:
            return None
        await cache.merge_json_cache(key=key, value=status, path=".pins")
        return status

this is the best example of what I mean

the caching library depends on redis-py, but the KumikoCache class is custom

[slate swan]

ise e

one thing that is bothering me there

why Union[bool, None] instead of Optional[bool]

[quick brook]

both are pretty much the exact same thing

Optional[bool] boils down to Union[bool, None]

[slate swan]

yeah i know it does

just curious why not using Optional

[quick brook]

unless you are inclined to make a PR fixing all of the instances where that happens (which is a lot spanning 9.3K lines of code), i probably won't change it

[slate swan]

bet

[quick brook]

probably got lazy

i think that's the simplest answer on why

[slate swan]

what the repo link though

[quick brook]

https://github.com/No767/Kumiko

feel free to make a PR

there is a good chunk of code i still have to clean up but it's not really my priorities rn to do that

[slate swan]

yeah 3k commits

maybe ill do that when im bored

[quick brook]

ok sure

[glad cradle]

btw you can use a script for that

[quick brook]

feel free to write that script if you want to do that

Hi everyone, I've coded an embed with a button when you press it, a message comes up. unfortunately interaction fails. somehow i can't give my bot an administrator in the application. or is it something else. thank you very much for your help ps i'm from germany.

[slate swan]

code?

[fallen pulsar]

@bot.command()
async def regeln(ctx):
# Erstelle ein Embed mit den Regeln
embed = discord.Embed(
title="Server Regeln",
description="Bitte lies die Regeln sorgfältig durch und bestätige, dass du sie akzeptierst, indem du auf den Button klickst.",
color=discord.Color.blue()
)
rules = [
"Regel 1: Keine Beleidigungen oder Diskriminierung.",
"Regel 2: Kein Spam oder Flooding im Chat.",
"Regel 3: Respektiere die anderen Mitglieder.",
"Regel 4: Halte dich an die Channel-Themen.",
]
embed.add_field(name="Regeln:", value="\n".join(rules), inline=False)

# Erstelle einen Button für die Bestätigung
confirm_button = discord.ui.Button(
    style=discord.ButtonStyle.primary,
    label="Akzeptieren",
    custom_id="accept_rules"
)

# Erstelle eine Ansicht mit dem Button
view = discord.ui.View()
view.add_item(confirm_button)

# Sende das Embed und die Ansicht in den aktuellen Kanal
await ctx.send(embed=embed, view=view)

@bot.event
async def on_button_click(interaction: discord.Interaction):
if interaction.custom_id == "accept_rules":
# Bestätigungsbutton wurde geklickt
await interaction.response.send_message("Du hast die Regeln akzeptiert!", ephemeral=True)

[slate swan]

there is no such event as on_button_click

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

here is how to use buttons in discord.py

[fallen pulsar]

thank you so much

[glad cradle]

ok

[quick brook]

you always have the option of making a PR and i'll code review it

[subtle spade]

Is it possible use a variable like this? This gives a error

discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: UnboundLocalError: cannot access local variable 'role' where it is not associated with a value

role = int(1146549387628122286)

@bot.command()
async def bm(ctx):
# ADMIN ROLE
role = discord.utils.get(ctx.guild.roles, id=role)

[quick brook]

do you need to check if the user running the command is an admin or not?

[subtle spade]

yes

Like this

if role in ctx.author.roles:
run commands
else:
do not

[quick brook]

then there is a better way of doing that. https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.has_role

or better yet, just check the permissions needed

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

[subtle spade]

Ok, but I want to have the role ID in a variable. If I want to change the role ID I just have to change the variable and not in all the commands

Is that possible?

Same here

restart_feed_channel = bot.get_channel(1146109246115680386)

I want to have the channel ID in a variable as well

[quick brook]

dont think you can change the id of a role

what i would recommend doing is making constants and storing the variables in there if you dont need to change them

[fallen pulsar]

hello does anyone know how to host the bot on a v server

[cloud dawn]

Clone it then run

what i do wrong bruh the embed sends and the button

when i click da button nothing happens

[upbeat gust]

what is it supposed to do..?

you don't assign a callback in your code

[main holly]

im tryna make tickets

[upbeat gust]

and where's the code to make the channel?

[main holly]

oh shit

ohhhh hold on

[robust fulcrum]

Can we host discord bot on our mobile phone 🤓?

[quick brook]

U could but not recommended

[quick brook]

Yes I know but I'll let you figure it out

[obsidian fable]

@commands.hybrid_command(name="test", description="test")
async def test(interaction: discord.Interaction):
    await interaction.defer(ephemeral=False)

    user = interaction.author
    for activity in user.activities:
        if isinstance(activity, Spotify):
            await interaction.send(f"You are listening to {activity.title} by {activity.artist}")
        else: 
            await interaction.send("You are not listening to Spotify")

is this the correct usage for the discord.Spotify class? doesnt seem to output anything

[final iron]

Might be a stupid question, but how would I pass the function as choices for an app command?

    async def shipping_line_choices(
            self,
    ) -> list[app_commands.Choice[str]]:
        all_lines = [line for lines in self.shipping_lines.values() for line in lines]
        all_lines.sort()

        return [
            app_commands.Choice(name=line, value=line)
            for line in all_lines
        ]

I've never worked with choices before

[sick birch]

Pretty sure choices have to be strings

They need to be displayed on discord

[quick brook]

Is this for autocomplete?

[final iron]

It was originally for autocomplete, then I'm miragiting it to choices

I removed a few unneccesary bits

[final iron]

They do, but I don't want to have to do

    @app_commands.choices(country=[
      discord.app_commands.Choice(name=..., value=...)]
    )

For each of them

[quick brook]

I mean you probably can use the func that gives the choices. So u can use shipping_line_choices and since that returns a list of app_commands.Choice, it should work

Ofc I haven't tested this so idk if it would actually work or not

[final iron]

I was trying to do that, but if I call the function I get a await error, but I can't await it because it's outside of a function

    @app_commands.choices(country=DeclarationCalculator().shipping_line_choices)

Unless I'm doing it wrong

[quick brook]

Ah I see. I don't think you need your func to be async unless there is a part of your choice that needs to be awaited

[final iron]

True

Nothing is coming up now for the option

nvm

This is why they say don't code at night

You make stupid mistakes

[final iron]

Wouldn't this be blocking though?

[obsidian fable]

anyone?

[golden portal]

idk what fork that is, but you possibly need presence intents

[quick brook]

true true

[final iron]

Robin gave me his blessing

I will roll with it for now

[rugged shadow]

did you enable the intent for guild members

or presence, i forgot

[turbid condor]

presence

[turbid condor]

What do you mean 16 of them?

Then plz don't randomly ping

[obtuse pumice]

Hellow I'm doing scrapping but problem is that cookie is session cookie it expired in few minutes how to retrieve new cookie1 and auto update in my code anyone know or help me

[slate swan]

I've got a verified discord bot but when I try use it the commands takes around 10 minutes to execute

And sometimes don't at all

No error can someone help?

[fallen pulsar]

Hello how can I fix the bug that when I press the button again, the interaction failed

[onyx elk]

can someone give me a slash command template

[slate swan]

https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/examples/app_commands/basic.py

[onyx elk]

like a slash /say prompt:

[onyx elk]

thanksp

[onyx elk]

ur a life saver (not really, just extremely helpful)

[formal basin]

how do i check before a slash command is completed

like an event

[buoyant quail]

!d discord.ext.commands.before_invoke

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.before\_invoke

@discord.ext.commands.before_invoke(coro)```
A decorator that registers a coroutine as a pre-invoke hook.

This allows you to refer to one before invoke hook for several commands that do not have to be within the same cog.

New in version 1.4.

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

Example

[formal basin]

any event?

!d discord.on_interaction

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_interaction

discord.on_interaction(interaction)```
Called when an interaction happened.

This currently happens due to slash command invocations or components being used.

Warning

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`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.ui.View) instead as it provides a nicer user experience.

New in version 2.0.

[formal basin]

hmm

[buoyant quail]

tree has interaction_check
so do what you want and return just True

[formal basin]

but the command still executes

no i want to check for something before the command executes

[buoyant quail]

check is called before the command

[formal basin]

and if it true then dont execute

[buoyant quail]

though looks like using on_interaction would be the same thing

[formal basin]

how can i stop it executing

[buoyant quail]

true = execute
false = don't

[buoyant quail]

?

[formal basin]

like look

@bot.event
async def on_interaction(interaction: discord.Interaction):
   if interaction.channel.is_nsfw():
        await interaction.followup.send("zagzag does not support nsfw channels.", ephemeral=True)

this is my code

[mental hollow]

how do i loop through users with a specific role?

[formal basin]

if this turns true

it still executes the command

and sends the "zagzag does not support nsfw channels."

how can I make it stop executing it

[buoyant quail]

use interaction_check for tree

and you need to return value

[buoyant quail]

here you are doing nothing except sending
and it's not a check too
it's like on_message, but it seems slash commands are called not from here

!d discord.app_commands.CommandTree.interaction_check

[unkempt canyon]

discord.app\_commands.CommandTree.interaction\_check

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

A global check to determine if an [`Interaction`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.Interaction) should be processed by the tree.

The default implementation returns True (all interactions are processed), but can be overridden if custom behaviour is desired.

[slate swan]

thanks 👍

[formal basin]

wait do I do await interaction_check(interaction, nsfw)

[buoyant quail]

no

it's a method of the tree

[slate swan]

you "override" it and add custom logic

[buoyant quail]

easiest way would be subclass it
or setattr, why not

[formal basin]

so what do I use?

[slate swan]

tree.interaction_check = my_custom_check i guess

where my_custom_check is coro that accepts interaction

[formal basin]

would my_custom_check = await interaction_check(interaction, nsfw)

[cold sonnet]

loop through role.members

[mental hollow]

ty

[cold sonnet]

!d discord.Role.members

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Role.members

property members```
Returns all the members with this role.

[cold sonnet]

yes

[buoyant quail]

my_custom_check is function with which you will replace the interaction_check

[cold sonnet]

iterate if you wanna sound real smart

[slate swan]

no.

async def my_custom_check(interaction):
    ...

[formal basin]

oh

i see

i thinl

[cold sonnet]

my_custom_check = interaction_check works tho

just doesn't make sense

oh right down said that

for a use that makes sense

[formal basin]

what would be in thst function

[slate swan]

you can check everything you want

[formal basin]

yeah

[slate swan]

for example if only one person can use commands you would do return interaction.user.id == 12345

[formal basin]

how to i stop the interaction from executing

i dont understand

[slate swan]

you return False

[buoyant quail]

return False

[formal basin]

what do i return false?

[slate swan]

imagine before the interaction is invoked it checks if interaction_check returns True

if it returns False it aborts

https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/e414d0fe0434413e595b28fae9eed536baf77e78/discord/app_commands/tree.py#L1209-L1212

[unkempt canyon]

async def _call(self, interaction: Interaction[ClientT]) -> None:
    if not await self.interaction_check(interaction):
        interaction.command_failed = True
        return```

[formal basin]

yeah but if i check for if the channel is nsfw it and it returns true

it will still execute

[slate swan]

why is that?

[formal basin]

cause its true

[slate swan]

what is True

[formal basin]

if the channel is nsfw

[slate swan]

??

[formal basin]

here

you say if it is true

[slate swan]

but you know you dont have to do return interaction.channel.nsfw you can do more than that

[formal basin]

it still execute

[slate swan]

for example you can invert it

[formal basin]

here what are we checking

if the interaction is an interaction

[robust fulcrum]

Guys how can I host a discord bot on a mobile phone?

[slate swan]

Ask @turbid condor

Step 1: Don't do it

[slate swan]

No that's the source code

It checks if it should invoke the command

It checks if the interaction_check returned true

[glad cradle]

pretty easy if you have termux

[robust fulcrum]

I did once , it got offline after 10 mins

[glad cradle]

termux + proot-distro with arch or ubuntu

ah

[robust fulcrum]

Hmm imma try

[formal basin]

how can I just stop the command from executing

[buoyant quail]

async def my_custom_check(interaction):
    return not interaction.channel.is_nsfw()

Not so hard

[turbid condor]

You can do that if it's a phone that's not for your personal use

Otherwise I don't recommend doing it on personal use phone

[robust fulcrum]

It's my personal but doesn't have anything important, I use it or only study

Phones have which architecture? Arm?

[turbid condor]

Yeah

[slate swan]

return False 😭 ?

[turbid condor]

Then again I don't recommend using a phone that u have to use for some other purpose

[slate swan]

What's so hard in understanding

• if interaction_check returns True -> command does run
• if interaction_check returns False -> command does not run

[turbid condor]

Cuz u will need the app open 24/7 to keep the bot running continuously

In the foreground not background

[formal basin]

why cant i use something else

like ```if not interaction.channel.is_nsfw:

[robust fulcrum]

Whats problem in that?

[slate swan]

Yeah sure paste it into every command

[formal basin]

heck no

[onyx elk]

how to get badges for bot?

[turbid condor]

For some reason it automatically stops if kept in background

[robust fulcrum]

That happened with me when I did last time

[formal basin]

why not in the on_interaction event

[robust fulcrum]

Should I get raspberry? It's way too expensive

[turbid condor]

If u can afford yes

[slate swan]

You can only have 2

• Supports slash commands - self explainatory
• Uses AutoMod - self explainatory

[turbid condor]

Otherwise you can use aws it has 1 year free trial

[robust fulcrum]

I can but my dad won't buy that for me

[turbid condor]

Or gcp

[onyx elk]

my bot doesnt have slash commands one

[slate swan]

Cause it does not decide whether the command runs or not its just invoked on each interaction

[formal basin]

how to use interaction_check

idk how to use it

[slate swan]

Didnt i explain that already?

[turbid condor]

Then create slash commands for your bot and sync them

[onyx elk]

how?

[formal basin]

i couldnt understand

[turbid condor]

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

[formal basin]

im so confused

[robust fulcrum]

I have GitHub education but the digital ocean asks me for card which i don't have

[turbid condor]

Welp then you will need a card for aws and gcp too

[robust fulcrum]

Why will a student have a card , they TF should understand

[slate swan]

,

[turbid condor]

Tho i have 3 cards?

[robust fulcrum]

U student?

[turbid condor]

Yeah

[robust fulcrum]

Which grade?

[buoyant quail]

In my country there are lot of children like ~12 years old that already have a card.
I don't have it tho

[turbid condor]

University

[robust fulcrum]

Oh lol , i in 9 grade

[turbid condor]

There are lots of mobile wallets that have v-cards

[robust fulcrum]

Why they need card though they can get our verification from GitHub student

[turbid condor]

Welp it's their ToS

[robust fulcrum]

Hmm

[turbid condor]

Can't do anything about that

[robust fulcrum]

What's benefit of GitHub student then

Only jetbrains or copilot

[turbid condor]

Lots of benefits if u know how to utilize them

[robust fulcrum]

Which benefits, they all need cards probably

[turbid condor]

Nope not all

[robust fulcrum]

Like namecheap , heroku , etc

[turbid condor]

Welp as far as I'm concerned for me it provided with 3 domains for websites

[formal basin]

@bot.event
async def on_interaction(interaction: discord.Interaction):

       interaction.command_failed = True
       await interaction.followup.send('zagzag does not support NSFW channels.', ephemeral=True)
       return
   


   ``` this code works but the command executes after

[slate swan]

That event is simply called when any interaction occurs between a user and the bot, the event does not control command invocations or anything else

I believe there's a built-in decorator for NSFW commands

[formal basin]

how can i make the commands stop executing?

[formal basin]

i would have to put it in every command

[slate swan]

Hmmm

[formal basin]

i just need to know how to make it stop executing

[slate swan]

!d discord.app_commands.CommandTree.interaction_check Overwriting this method might be an option for you

[unkempt canyon]

discord.app\_commands.CommandTree.interaction\_check

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

A global check to determine if an [`Interaction`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.Interaction) should be processed by the tree.

The default implementation returns True (all interactions are processed), but can be overridden if custom behaviour is desired.

[formal basin]

i dont understand how it works

await self.interaction_check(nsfw) wouldnt work

[slate swan]

You don't call it yourself

The library calls it to check whether a command should be invoked, you can overwrite the method to implement your own logic

The default implementation just returns True

[formal basin]

async def on_interaction(interaction: discord.Interaction):
   channel = interaction.channel

   if not channel.is_nsfw():
       await self.interaction_check(interaction)
       return
    else:
          await interaction.followup.send('zagzag does not support NSFW channels.', ephemeral=True)```

[hushed galleon]

as per delliott's explanation, you should override the CommandTree class that's used by your bot which will let you change what interaction_check() does

for example: ```py
class MyCommandTree(app_commands.CommandTree):
async def interaction_check(self, interaction):
if interaction.user.id == 1146836125290344540:
await interaction.response.send_message("I don't like you in particular")
return False

    return True

bot = commands.Bot(tree_cls=MyCommandTree, ...)```

[young dagger]

Is it better to do:

        if account_age.days > 30 and member.avatar:
            return

        unverified_role = discord.utils.get(guild.roles, id=769451860884062228)
        if unverified_role:
            await member.add_roles(unverified_role)

or

        if account_age.days <= 30 or not member.avatar:

            unverified_role = discord.utils.get(guild.roles, id=769451860884062228)
            if unverified_role:
                await member.add_roles(unverified_role)

[slate swan]

You were told Like 3 times to use interaction_check

[buoyant quail]

1

[hushed galleon]

thats more of a #software-architecture question, but generally "guard clauses" (the former) reduce indentation and makes it easier to read

[young dagger]

Can you motivate why?

[buoyant quail]

Easier to read
Especially when it grows

[young dagger]

Makes sense, thanks

[formal basin]

that doesnt work

[quick brook]

Explain what you mean by that

[young dagger]

Sorry, I mean what do you think about the code?

[slate swan]

nice url lol

QOOQ

[quick brook]

Why do you have to introduce a delay?

[sick birch]

That try except is huge

Also empty exception

[formal basin]

like this ```@bot.event
async def on_interaction(interaction: discord.Interaction):
channel = interaction.channel

if not channel.is_nsfw():
await self.interaction_check(interaction)
return
else:
await interaction.followup.send('zagzag does not support NSFW channels.', ephemeral=True)```

[slate swan]

no.

[quick brook]

And why do u have to ping them and then delete the message?

[slate swan]

This is on_interaction and Like i said it does not decide whether command is invoked or not

[slate swan]

.

[young dagger]

I don't really know

[buoyant quail]

It does :/

[young dagger]

What exception would you use? What do you think about this:

    except discord.NotFound:
        pass

    except discord.Forbidden:
        pass

    except Exception as e:
        print(f"An error occurred: {type(e).__name__} - {e}")```

[sick birch]

There should be some sort of feedback instead of ignoring exceptions

[slate swan]

Or if you really wanna do nothing about some exceptions use contextlib.suppress

[lyric sigil]

i have this error trying running my program on vscode

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]

Install it using this

[lyric sigil]

not working either

i have python on my pc and the extension on vscode

[slate swan]

do python -V

What's the output

[lyric sigil]

PS C:\Users\canai\Desktop\Partins_bot> python -V
Python 3.11.5

[slate swan]

Now, in vscode press Ctrl shift p

Type in Interpreter

Find setting Like Python: Set Interpreter or something about that

And select it to the 3.11.5

[lyric sigil]

okay and now

[slate swan]

and now run the script?

[lyric sigil]

same error

[slate swan]

What did you set the interpreter to

What options you Had

[lyric sigil]

okay i changed it to another because i had 2 options and now for some reason its working

Thanks !

[slate swan]

👍

[quick brook]

Then u don't need it

Do someone know a good repo who has a ticket system for my bot ?

[eager mural]

hello I can't find the function to give the number of channels on the server could someone help me

[slate swan]

!d discord.Guild.channels

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.channels

property channels```
A list of channels that belongs to this guild.

[tall temple]

can someone give me a method to get every banned member's id in a server in a list

[tall temple]

c'est pas toi qui t'est fait tej d'mx aujd ?

[glad cradle]

!d discord.Guild.bans

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.bans

async for ... in bans(*, limit=1000, before=..., after=...)```
Retrieves an [asynchronous iterator](https://docs.python.org/3/glossary.html#term-asynchronous-iterator) of the users that are banned from the guild as a [`BanEntry`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.BanEntry).

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

Changed in version 2.0: Due to a breaking change in Discord’s API, this now returns a paginated iterator instead of a list.

does anyone know how to get rid of these types of errors? i have to click the button a few times for it to work
discord.errors.NotFound: 404 Not Found (error code: 10062): Unknown interaction

[quick brook]

You can make your own

If you're currently using channels to implement "tickets" (short lived conversations between a subset of people), please consider using discord's thread feature instead. Threads were made for exactly this purpose: to have a short, separate discussion with a subset of people. Trying to use channels for this is antiquated and has several limitations:

• There is a strict limit on the number of channels in a server/category as well as the rate they can be created
• Channel names can have strict limitations on partnered servers. There are certain numbers which can cause your channel to fail in creation
• Threads have a much cleaner permissioning and archiving process

While you may be used to channels or prefer the UI, please consider if this is the correct tool for what you're trying to accomplish.

[quick brook]

all interactions must be responsed in 3 seconds or less. There are two things that could be happening here that would cause the error:

1. You have blocking code
2. Your code is not blocking, but is taking a very long time for some reason. In this case, you will need to defer the interaction. Deferring the interaction allows you to have up to 15 mins to respond, which will you will need to use await interaction.followup.send() in order to respond to the interaction

[lyric sigil]

idk how

[quick brook]

#discord-bots message

you can think of tickets as either fourm posts or short-lived threads

[lyric sigil]

but i asked for a repo -_-

[left dew]

so when i use interaction.response.defer(), after that i have to use await interaction.followup.send()?

[quick brook]

no one is going to spoonfeed you code here. Figure it out yourself

[quick brook]

yes

althogh not for discord.py, FastAPI actually has a really good section on their docs on what async really means: https://fastapi.tiangolo.com/async/

[left dew]

can i use await interaction.channel.followup.send()?

[quick brook]

nope

[left dew]

oh

[quick brook]

the dpy docs also has a good explaination on what blocking is: https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/faq.html#what-does-blocking-mean

[left dew]

ok ty

Hey, is it possible to code Modals Pagination? Already spent 1 hour on trying to find out how to do it

[quick brook]

wdym by that

have an pagination menu within modals? nope you cant

[tall temple]

thanks

[stiff herald]

guys recently an customer ask me a nomination system, the fields exceed the discord limits in the forms plus there are requirements as well, and I don't have any very good idea how to handle it: How to show the fields and requirements? (PS: don't want to use google form)

[onyx elk]

@client.tree.command()
@app_commands.describe(
    channel='The voice channel to lock.',
    allowed_roles='Roles allowed to join the locked channel.'
)
async def lockvc(interaction: discord.Interaction, channel: discord.VoiceChannel, allowed_roles: discord.Role = None):
    """Lock a voice channel to prevent everyone from joining."""
    everyone_role = interaction.guild.default_role

    if not allowed_roles:
        # If no roles are specified, set the channel permissions to deny @everyone to connect
        await channel.set_permissions(everyone_role, connect=False)
        await interaction.response.send_message(f"{channel.mention} is now locked. `@everyone` can see but not join.")

    else:
        # If allowed roles are specified, set the channel permissions to allow those roles to connect
        await channel.set_permissions(everyone_role, connect=False)
        for role in allowed_roles:
            await channel.set_permissions(role, connect=True)
        
        allowed_role_mentions = ' '.join(role.mention for role in allowed_roles)
        await interaction.response.send_message(f"{channel.mention} is now locked. Only ''{allowed_role_mentions}` can join.")```

the command works fine without the role selected

but when u add a role it breaks and says that

[quick brook]

Just show it in the placeholder of the text input

[stiff herald]

It would be uncomfortable for the user

[onyx elk]

the error is in:

async def lockvc(interaction: discord.Interaction, channel: discord.VoiceChannel, allowed_roles: discord.Role = None):```

[quick brook]

Unless you throw them instructions before sending the modal, that's the only other option

[onyx elk]

hey could you try identify the error in my code?

[stiff herald]

Any ideas without modals? i would have them but am not convinced to use them

[quick brook]

Idk it depends on how u have things set up

[hollow owl]

Hello. I'm a python newbie, but I just want to edit an existing open-source bot for my discord. The thing I want to do is that every user from this list gets a list with the others and their roles. How should I start?

Lemme check the code

[onyx elk]

is jungle a role?

[hollow owl]

a role in the server?

[onyx elk]

idk

[hollow owl]

or you're talking about the game

[onyx elk]

here it says jungle

[hollow owl]

Yeah: mid, jungle, adc, top, support are their choices

[onyx elk]

so you want it to display roles they choose?

[hollow owl]

Let me do it simpler, I want to do so every user in the embed gets this list (embed)(Like @hollow owl - Mid, @onyx elk - Adc etc.)

[onyx elk]

how are they getting these roles? through a button or reaction as is it a discord role

[hollow owl]

multiple buttons, they aren't discord roles, just their choices for a League of Legends match

[onyx elk]

oh idk what lol does

sorry

[hollow owl]

no need to worry, I don't know either, just trying to help a friend but I think I need to explore more the code first as I'm not sure how to explain xd

thanks for trying to help me and understand :))

[onyx elk]

sorry i coudlnt be more help

[onyx elk]

could someone help?

[young dagger]

You want to create an embed for each participate?

[stiff herald]

allowed_roles: discord.Role -> only 1 role, it's not a Iterable

[hollow owl]

yes, in their dms

[young dagger]

Why?

[onyx elk]

i only select 1 role

[young dagger]

@hollow owl Did you upload the code?

[stiff herald]

iterable = list, sets, tuples and dict

[slate swan]

iterable is something you can iterate over

[onyx elk]

so how would i edit it

[slate swan]

so one Role object is not

[young dagger]

!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.

[onyx elk]

how could i edit it im new to application commands

[hollow owl]

that's what my friend wanted :)) the code is open-source but I'm not sure that you can help me, https://github.com/InHouseQueue/InHouseQueue

[young dagger]

@hollow owl You just need something that randomize users in a specific voice channel?

[hollow owl]

mmm.. not really

just forgot about it, I'll try to stick myself

[stiff herald]

@client.tree.command()
@app_commands.describe(
    channel='The voice channel to lock.',
    allowed_roles='Roles allowed to join the locked channel.'

    """Lock a voice channel to prevent everyone from joining."""

    if not allowed_roles:
        # If no roles are specified, set the channel permissions to deny @everyone to connect
        await channel.set_permissions(everyone_role, connect=False)
        await interaction.response.send_message(f"{channel.mention} is now locked. `@everyone` can see but not join.")

    else:
        # If allowed roles are specified, set the channel permissions to allow those roles to connect
        await channel.set_permissions(everyone_role, connect=False)
        await channel.set_permissions(allowed_roles, connect=True)
        
        allowed_role_mentions = allowed_roles.mention
        await interaction.response.send_message(f"{channel.mention} is now locked. Only ''{allowed_role_mentions}` can join.")

[onyx elk]

i get an error

    allowed_role_mentions allowed_roles.mention

[young dagger]

Sure, good luck

[hollow owl]

thanks

[stiff herald]

are you sure you know the basics of python?

[hasty pike]

[onyx elk]

it was on a second line for some reason the way i copied lol

[stiff herald]

Or general programming?

[onyx elk]

thank you for helping!

[umbral bay]

guys does anyone know if discord bots show activity field and display something like listening to spotify

[slate swan]

!d discord.ActivityType.listening

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ActivityType.listening

A “Listening” activity type.

[umbral bay]

oh, hmmm i was trying to set my bot to auto show whenever i go live on twitch or like start listening to spotify

i'll check it out

let me know if something like this even exists for twitch

[slate swan]

yes it does

[umbral bay]

hmm maybe im missing out something

this is what i have done so far:

@client.event
async def on_ready():
    print(f'Logged in as {client.user.name} ({client.user.id})')

    while not client.is_closed():
        stream_title = await fetch_stream_title()

        if stream_title:
            await client.change_presence(
                activity=discord.Streaming(
                    name=stream_title, url="https://www.twitch.tv/codemiko"
                )
            )
            print(f'Bot status set to "streaming" with title: {stream_title}')
        else:
            await client.change_presence(status=discord.Status.online)
            print('Bot status set to online (user not streaming)')

        await asyncio.sleep(60)  # Check every 60 seconds
      
# Run the bot
client.run(TOKEN)```

it will show the status, now i'm trying to put it in the activity tab and have the watch now button too

[slate swan]

!d discord.Streaming

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Streaming

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

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

x == y Checks if two streams are equal.

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

hash(x) Returns the stream’s hash.

str(x) Returns the stream’s name.

[slate swan]

see what arguments it takes

[umbral bay]

alrighty

[onyx elk]

!d discord.ActivityType.playing

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ActivityType.playing

A “Playing” activity type.

[onyx elk]

!d await client.change_presence(status=discord.Status.dnd, activity=discord.Game(name="Roblox"))

!d status

[unkempt canyon]

status

Rich can display a status message with a ‘spinner’ animation that won’t interfere with regular console output. Run the following command for a demo of this feature:

python -m rich.status
```  To display a status message, call [`status()`](https://rich.readthedocs.io/en/stable/reference/console.html#rich.console.Console.status) with the status message (which may be a string, Text, or other renderable). The result is a context manager which starts and stops the status display around a block of code. Here’s an example:

```py
with console.status("Working..."):
    do_work()
```  You can change the spinner animation via the `spinner` parameter...

[onyx elk]

!d discord.Status.dnd

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Status.dnd

The member is “Do Not Disturb”.

[wispy solstice]

Does anyone knows why imgur direct links isn't working in embed.set_image, ( some work and other no, is it only me? )

[onyx elk]

oh you have to put in in the fisld

[wispy solstice]

i did

[onyx elk]

embed.set_image(url=imgur_url)

like that

or sum like that

whatev u want really

[wispy solstice]

i did, but it's not showing image

[onyx elk]

could you send code?

[wispy solstice]

not rlly now, my pc is off

but it's like that

[onyx elk]

oh ale

[wispy solstice]

print(data["Poster"]) > output: imgur link
embed.set_image(url=data["Poster"])

no exceptions raised

[onyx elk]

if image_url:
embed = discord.Embed(title=f"{prompt} has been generated!", color=discord.Color.blue())
embed.set_image(url=image_url)
embed.set_footer(text=f"»BOT BY ALF!«")

        await interaction.response.send_message(embed=embed)

heres a code for my bot that generates images from my webserver

[wispy solstice]

it's somehow like this, but the image isn't been displayed ( i can access it from browser normally )

[onyx elk]

is ot just a link?

[wispy solstice]

idk if it's imgur's fault, or something else

[wispy solstice]

yep, str link

[onyx elk]

hmm

[wispy solstice]

checked with printing

[onyx elk]

when u on ur pc send code

[wispy solstice]

ok if i didn't miss out xD

anyway ty

[final iron]

Discord is buggy sometimes

If the link works in your url, most likely it's an issue with Discord

[meager rock]

It gotta be the same url that you use in markdowns ( one with a file extension in the end )

[quick brook]

ensure that the url points to an asset

[meager rock]

Url that points to the image address on Imgur won't work

[harsh orbit]

How can I know which servers the bot is located on? And how do I get their links?

[meager rock]

!d discord.Client.guilds

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Client.guilds

property guilds```
The guilds that the connected client is a member of.

[meager rock]

this will return a list of Guild objects your server is in

For the invite you'll have to create an invite thru a channel in the guild

!d discord.abc.GuildChannel.create_invite

[unkempt canyon]

discord.abc.GuildChannel.create\_invite

await create_invite(*, reason=None, max_age=0, max_uses=0, temporary=False, unique=True, target_type=None, target_user=None, target_application_id=None)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Creates an instant invite from a text or voice channel.

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

[harsh orbit]

Can give an example?

[brazen raft]

What version of discord.py are you using? bot is no longer an argument for discord.ext.commands.Bot.run (at least it's no longer documented)

[slate swan]

self-botting

[finite sage]

It work like 5 months back

[finite sage]

no its not

its for bot

[slate swan]

read what Roie said then

[finite sage]

i know, i already remove that

but it say improper token

[slate swan]

post the full traceback

(looks like you're also forgetting to pass intents into the Bot constructor)

[finite sage]

no i dont need intents, its not bot

[brazen raft]

Instead of pasting the token for the line with input, save the token in a text file and read the text file for the token. Maybe input is messing with you or you're pasting unexpected characters

[brazen raft]

It seems as though you are using an outdated version of discord.py then

intents is a required keyword argument for the constructor of discord.ext.commands.Bot

[slate swan]

and use tasks loop

won't surprise me if that on_ready is causing all sorts of problems

[finite sage]

Maybe outdated, It worked some months back

[brazen raft]

For better clarity and assurance you could move the sleeping into the infinite while loop

[brazen raft]

A lot has changed some months back. Who knows, maybe the outdated version of the library you're using doesn't support even the oldest still running version of Discord's API?

[finite sage]

It is ok, i do fix later

but that is main error

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "main.py", line 10, in <module>
client = commands.Bot(command_prefix=commands.when_mentioned_or("$"))
TypeError: init() missing 1 required keyword-only argument: 'intents'

[brazen raft]

See, intents is required. You need to add intents=your_intents_here in commands.Bot(...)

Have a read: https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/intents.html

[finite sage]

You think that is for bot

[latent anchor]

do anyone know whats this error? my bot showed this for a very long time and it doesnt reply to commands now
WARNING discord.ext.commands.bot Privileged message content intent is missing, commands may not work as expected.

[finite sage]

enable it

[latent anchor]

how do i do that

[finite sage]

discord.com/developers

[onyx elk]

hi

[latent anchor]

i enabled it just now but it still doesnt work

[brazen raft]

Read about intents here

[brazen raft]

You need to enable it on the developer portal and in code

[latent anchor]

ohh

ok thanks ill try it

[finite sage]

you think that would work if i do this

i copy that message request from network and i keep sending it in console

it will work i think

ah the code works fine after i added that

[quick brook]

Uhhh why do you need an token input

[wispy solstice]

Do I need to make 2 classes?

[quick brook]

Yes. You would want to make two select classes and then just add them to the view

[wispy solstice]

Are they two seperated messages?

[quick brook]

No. Just part of the same view

[quick brook]

And with knowing that the environment being run on is NixOS, I already know that you are running it on replit

[wispy solstice]

ty

[quick brook]

Np

[quick brook]

Also the error is called not using the correct token

[quick brook]

And why are you sending messages every 10 seconds to a channel? You know this is called spam right. And funnily enough you are running it in an on_ready event

I would recommend just completely removing your message spam feature bc we all know how it will end up

[quick brook]

My dude you have created a spam bot. Why do you need to go through like 14 different messages every 10 seconds? On top of this, have fun with getting rate limited

As a result, I'm not helping you out

[finite sage]

It is not spam, it is every 10 seconds.

And this error is very recent, I used this in April with 0 problems.

[finite sage]

it sure is correct

I know how to copy and paste my token

[finite sage]

I am running it on replit because these school computers are so limited that I cant download or run files, so replit is the only option

[finite sage]

Removing the so called "spam feature" ruins the whole point of it

[meager rock]

discord.errors.LoginFailure: Improper token has been passed.
And discord knows how to identify correct tokens, which it doesn't

is this a selfbot, by any chance?

[finite sage]

Yes it is

[meager rock]

yeah discord.py doesn't support self bots, and we are not supposed to help with that here. Sorry

[finite sage]

Yes it does

there are working selfbots

[meager rock]

figure it out then lol, it's against rule 5 to discuss self bots here

[finite sage]

it is not self bot

[naive briar]

[finite sage]

lol

[onyx elk]

i seen that bot its a nuke bot from github

can someone tell me why this doesnt show in appspy @client.tree.context_menu(name='Shows user Join Date') async def show_join_date(interaction: discord.Interaction, member: discord.Member): member = member await interaction.response.send_message(f'{member} joined {discord.utils.format_dt(member.joined_at)}')

[slate swan]

Why do you even need the line member = member

[onyx elk]

to say that members mean members
