[obtuse rose]

Is Zapier or IFTTT better for Twitter to Discord webhooks?

[slate swan]

whats the recommended size for discord embed images

[merry cliff]

don't do stuff in on_ready, you can set a status when you make an instance of commads.Bot():py bot = commands.Bot(intents=intents, command_prefix='!', case_insensitive=True, activity=discord.Game('Minecraft')) would show the bot as playing minecraft

[slate parrot]

ah ok. i use pycord so this still works on discord.Bot right?

[merry cliff]

it really doesn't matter since it depends on how much text there is

[merry cliff]

I think so since pycord is a fork of discord.py

[slate swan]

can u put img bytes as embed img?

[final iron]

!d discord.Embed.set_image

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Embed.set\_image

set_image(*, url)```
Sets the image for the embed content.

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

[final iron]

Docs are your friend

Always take a look at them

[slate swan]

what do u think ive been doing the past 30 mins

thats why i asked here

[final iron]

I have no clue

The docs answer your question pretty clearly

[slate swan]

discord.py docs

which im not using

[final iron]

Yeah?

Which library are you using

[slate swan]

doesnt even matter anymore

i figured it out

[final iron]

Good for you

If you’re using a fork of discord.py the same code from the docs apply

Also people are going to assume you’re using discord.py whenever you ask for help unless you specify otherwise

[slate swan]

"here are the docs" isnt exactly answering my question

[final iron]

If you cared to look at the paramters/return type it would

This is pretty clear

How do I use a local image file for an embed image

[slate swan]

do i have to repeat myself

[final iron]

Okay, but unless you’re using hikari it’s the exact same thing lmao

You asked for help and didn’t specify, which is on you

Now you’re getting all pressed and this is mad funny

[slate swan]

yeah im so pressed

and its hilarious

[final iron]

yh mad funny

[slate swan]

keep yapping about the docs for a library i said i wasnt using

and then call me pressed

[final iron]

“do i have to repeat myself”

real mad abt smth

aint my problem lil man

[slate swan]

u act like a child

[final iron]

See you are pressed

It’s aight tho

its calm

[final iron]

What’s the purpose of these for the webhooks?

I checked out their websites and they cover a lot of broad topics

[potent fox]

!mute988196894897471508 1D Absolutely unacceptable and not how we talk to others here.

[final iron]

[unkempt canyon]

:incoming_envelope: :ok_hand: applied timeout to @slate swan until <t:1700176989:f> (1 day).

[obtuse rose]

In my case basically just having a Discord channel that will have every new tweet a specific Twitter account posts. I used to use IFTTT in the past but after some research it seems because of the Twitter API pricing changes, nor IFTTT nor Zapier offer the Twitter option for free users. It seems I'll have to use RSS for this

[final iron]

Yeah the new changes caused a lot of issues for new/not paid users

What’s RSS if you don’t mind?

[fierce crag]

for the record, there's also no need to make these types of aggravating comments.

[final iron]

Yeah thats my bad

I crossed the line tbh

[obtuse rose]

It's basically an XML format some websites offer to check the content of the website.

[final iron]

Ah

[smoky cedar]

When I try to delete a role, I get RuntimeError: Timeout context manager should be used inside a task, any idea how to fix this? using discord py latest

[final iron]

Could you show the code?

[smoky cedar]

async def asyncTearDown(self):
    super().tearDown()
    for role in self.bot.get_guild(TEST_GUILD_ONE_ID).roles:
        if APP_NAME not in role.name:
            await role.delete()
    for role in self.bot.get_guild(TEST_GUILD_TWO_ID).roles:
        if APP_NAME not in role.name:
            await role.delete()

[smoky cedar]

^

Happens in the first loop

[final iron]

What is tearDown()

[smoky cedar]

It just rolls back and closes database session

no code related to the client

[final iron]

Can you send the whole traceback

[patent lark]

but these docs would still answer your question?

[smoky cedar]

I'm trying to make the thread so no one else can invite here besides the moderator, but upon creating the thread it still possible to invite for non-moderator users, how do i fix it?

[slate swan]

oh ok

im sorry

did u want me message delete?

[smoky cedar]

You're changing invitable after already creating the thread. Changing the invitable attribute is not gonna actually do anything on discord's side of things, it's just changing in-memory values

[final iron]

Is this task created via asyncio's framework or discord.py's

[void mauve]

so how do i set inivitable to false before actually creating thread? Is there some kind of properties in a channel maybe?

[smoky cedar]

I'm assuming discord.py's. The bot is running in a separate thread so the tests can run, not sure if that's causing the issue

[final iron]

!d discord.TextChannel.create_thread

[unkempt canyon]

discord.TextChannel.create\_thread

await create_thread(*, name, message=None, auto_archive_duration=..., type=None, reason=None, invitable=True, slowmode_delay=None)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Creates a thread in this text channel.

To create a public thread, you must have [`create_public_threads`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Permissions.create_public_threads). For a private thread, [`create_private_threads`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Permissions.create_private_threads) is needed instead.

[vapid parcel]

is on_member_boost a thing?

[patent lark]

No.

[smoky cedar]

Is it the latest version of discord py?

[vapid parcel]

Okay, i need docs on how to catch a boost ig?

so you can send an embed to a certain channel of someone boosting n stuff like that

[final iron]

Possibly, are you willing to send the entire file?

[smoky cedar]

https://gist.github.com/AndrewKassab/0b070b9b9a979f98a7901f412093daf3

Let me know if you want to see fanbot.py

[patent lark]

If i remember correctly, discords API doesnt really handle a boost via an event.

[final iron]

No, Discord doesn't send that event. You can use on_member_update and check premium_since

[patent lark]

But alternatively, i think discord.MessageType.premium_guild_subscription exists

[patent lark]

Or this

[vapid parcel]

Discord should send that event tho :)

[patent lark]

well they dont.

[vapid parcel]

would make it easier

[void mauve]

i am using py-cord, but the invitable argument still mentioned in documentation the same way with same usage

[smoky cedar]

invitable (bool) – Whether non-moderators can add other non-moderators to this thread. Only available for private threads.

Thread needs to be private.

Also, look at thread.edit()

It looks like with pycord, it needs to be called after creation.

[void mauve]

Oh i see

Thanks a lot mate

[smoky cedar]

So you need to pass private_thread into the type when using create_thread

then call edit with invitable

[final iron]

When you don't mention that you're using a fork people will assume you're using discord.py
https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/models.html#discord.TextChannel.create_thread
invitable doesn't exist with py-cord

[smoky cedar]

Yeah, it looks like it exists in thread.edit() rather than create_thread()

[final iron]

Another reason added onto the list of why to not use py-cord

[final iron]

I don't know to be honest

Error doesn't really align with anything in your code

[smoky cedar]

weird right, shouldn't I expect it to just work by calling await role.delete()?

[final iron]

It should, I'm not really sure why that line is the one that's erroring as it doesn't involve a context manager

Are you using an old version of discord.py per-chance?

[smoky cedar]

in my requirements.py, I just have discord.py with no version specified, that should pull latest right?

[final iron]

It should

Just check real quick with pip show discord.py

Does it work if you're not mocking it?

[smoky cedar]

yeah it is up to date. The only thing I'm mocking is the interaction which shouldn't really come into play here right since the bot isn't being mocked? honestly so confused lol but gonna continue investigating

Hmm, maybe because it's trying to delete this role? <Role id=1004184458431315989 name='@everyone'> , the everyone role

nope

[void mauve]

It might be a stupid question. but will editing the perms just update the mentioned rights in the code or overwrite all of the rights and leave those ones?

        perms = discord.Permissions()

        for role_id in mod_roles_id:
            role = guild.get_role(int(role_id))
            perms.update(manage_threads=True, send_messages_in_threads=True)

            await role.edit(permissions=perms)

[torn sail]

I think only the ones in the code, it’s probably best just to make a new channel and test it

[hushed galleon]

it will overwrite the previous perms if you don't explicitly enable them or transfer them from the role's current permissions (Role.permissions)

seems a bit odd to have a function just for changing your mod role perms though

[smoky cedar]

I had to use asyncio.run_coroutine_threadsafe and pass in bot.loop, it was an issue relating to using a separate thread.

I could've used bot.start() instead of bot.run() to avoid using a separate thread, but since setUpClass doesn't work asynchronously, I would've had to start and stop the bot for every single test which would've been really inefficient / prone to rate limiting with repeated logins

[void mauve]

Thanks for assistance

[void mauve]

Tf u on 💀

[smoky cedar]

lmao

[vapid parcel]

How to do this..?

also this means that your interaction can now last longer than 3 seconds correct? Thats what ive been told, so thats why im wanting to do it.

[golden portal]

use defer with thinking set to True

!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...

[vapid parcel]

Thank you

[vapid parcel]

Is this possible with Hybrids?

[golden portal]

yes. use ctx.typing

[vapid parcel]

Yeah but gives an error saying it already responded to this command

thats why im wondering lol

[golden portal]

just do the typing first before responding?

what's the code

[vapid parcel]

well im just testing it, this command really doesnt need a defer, but just for testing

An error occurred: Hybrid command raised an error: Command 'coinflip' raised an exception: InteractionResponded: This interaction has already been responded to before```

[golden portal]

!d discord.ext.commands.Context.typing

[fierce light]

Just a note

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Context.typing

async with typing(*, ephemeral=False)```
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`.

In an interaction based context, this is equivalent to a [`defer()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Context.defer) call and does not do any typing calls.

Example Usage:

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

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

[fierce light]

Defer uses ur interaction

So ur next interaction should be a followup

[fierce light]

Do a followup after ur defer

[vapid parcel]

ah okay then

[fierce light]

defer is a response to an interaction so yeah

[golden portal]

eh tbf, ctx.send should do followup.send internally when you do that

[fierce light]

I mean

Its an interaction no?

[final iron]

defer is an interaction response, yes

[fierce light]

Dunno how u can get a context from that without a conversion

or something like _toctx or sum

[golden portal]

he's talking about in hybrid

therefore he has context

[fierce light]

Oh

Yeah mb i didnt see that

[vapid parcel]

Okay so this gives the bot extra time to like process the command correct?

instead of the standard 3 seconds?

[final iron]

Yes

[vapid parcel]

okay ty

[final iron]

15 minutes

[shrewd fjord]

Me when i dont get a strong comeback:

I dont know why he just didn't tell what lib bro using

[slate swan]

ERROR: Failed building wheel for multidict
Building wheel for yarl (pyproject.toml) ... error
error: subprocess-exited-with-error

[slate swan]

how to fix?

Which Python version are you on

and what are you trying to do

[fiery girder]

how do i make something like this in my bot i want multiple sections for one command

i dont want same commands but i want them like this

[golden portal]

that's just a group subcommand

class MyGroup(commands.GroupCog, group_name='afk', group_description='description'):
  subgroup = app_commands.Group(name='mod', description='balls')
  @subgroup.command()
  async def ignore(interaction: Interaction):
    ...
  @subgroup.command()
  async def ignored(interaction: Interaction):
    ...

probably looks like this from the screenshot
note that it can't go further than a single group nested command
see here too for another example

[turbid condor]

Down grade to python 3.11

[fiery girder]

so instead of normal commands.Cog i use commands.GroupCog?

[fiery girder]

does it work with hybrid or just app

[golden portal]

GroupCog is specifically for slash, since discord slash isn't as powerful since it can't have callbacks for the initial group command, for hybrid you just do it normally as you would like a regular group command

[fiery girder]

i am making uno game so having just random command called like playcard or something is just wierd

thats why i was thinking about that

[golden portal]

this would be hybrid equivalent ```py
class MyCog(commands.Cog):
@commands.hybrid_group()
async def afk(...):
...

@afk.hybrid_group()
async def mod(...):
    ...

@mod.command()
async def ignored(...):
    ...

[fiery girder]

i have beeen using normal Cogs but never knew that does that work like
!afk ignored

if you removed the mod ofc i dont need that many options

i only need 2

[golden portal]

GroupCog is just a slash concept to be fair, not a lot of people use it since they are too lazy to look for it

[fiery girder]

so how does this work does it work like i mentioned

[golden portal]

it would yea, just use afk.command() deco instead of afk.hybrid_group()

[fiery girder]

oh ok thanks

[fiery girder]

what do i put in the async def afk tho

will it run when i run the !afk ignored

[golden portal]

by default it will run first before ignored is ran for prefix command, for slash it never will

eh wait, im wrong

[fiery girder]

oh so i can identify b/w the slash and the prefix with this

[golden portal]

by default it will only ran if the subcommand isn't found, say !afk blah since blah isnt a subcommand, it will invoke afk with argument blah instead

[fiery girder]

oh

[golden portal]

better to use ctx.interaction is None to do that instead

[fiery girder]

so like in afk if i run !afk it will run only the async def afk and if i run !afk ignored it will run that ignored one and if i run !afk blah it will take blah as an arg

[golden portal]

yes

pretty much sums up commands group parsing

[fiery girder]

oh ok thanks

thanks

[golden portal]

wleocme

[fiery girder]

i have one more question if i like get a user from bot.fetchuser then can i send a message to a channel and make it empheremal for that user specific

[golden portal]

nop, ephemeral are interaction specific

[fiery girder]

so only in like ctx.reply?

or interaction.reply?

[fiery girder]

?

[golden portal]

interaction.reply doesn't exist
But yea anything related to interaction response, including ctx.send in hybrid you can do ephemeral

[fiery girder]

ok thansk

[fiery girder]

one more question can you call a hybrid command throught another command like if i type !warn it will also activate !ban something like that its jsut an example i want to do something else that i cant illustrate

[glad cradle]

the actual fuck why i pinged the wrong person

noticed this just now

[fiery girder]

u pinged me ?? cause i got a notification

[final iron]

You shouldn’t be invoking the command itself. You should have a ban function that you’re calling in both your ban, and warn command

That’s the whole point of functions

[glad cradle]

yes, sorry

[fiery girder]

np

[fiery girder]

oh ok

[final iron]

Context Menus are a way to run an application command without typing anything. They are accessed in the "Apps" section when right clicking a user or message.

When you right click a message, they are called message commands. In discord.py 2.0 you can implement them as such:

@tree.context_menu(name='Translate with Google', guild=discord.Object(id=MY_GUILD_ID))
async def translate(interaction: discord.Interaction, message: discord.Message):  # An annotation of discord.Message makes this a message command
    ...

Likewise when you right click a user or member, they are called user commands. You can change the annotation from discord.Message to discord.Member accordingly:

@tree.context_menu(name='Ban User', guild=discord.Object(id=MY_GUILD_ID))
async def ban_user(interaction: discord.Interaction, member: discord.Member):  # An annotation of discord.Member makes this a user command
    ...

You can also annotate this with discord.User, but because context menus are only applicable in guilds, they'll probably always be members.

Documentation: https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.CommandTree.context_menu
Note: Context menus cannot be used inside of cogs (in the way you'd normally expect) - see the issue here: https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/issues/7823#issuecomment-1086830458

You mean this one? https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html?highlight=discord object#object

[fiery girder]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html?highlight=discord object#discord.Guild
this

No

If there's an error you should mention it

[onyx elk]

        embed = client.Embed(title=self.title.value, description=self.description.value)
        await interaction.response.send_message(embed=embed)```

well i just dont know how to make an embed on app commands

could u help (no error just the .Embed thing

[final iron]

That should 100% be erroring

What is client

[onyx elk]

client = MyClient(intents=intents)

[final iron]

What's MyClient

[onyx elk]

class MyClient(discord.Client):
def init(self, *, intents: discord.Intents):
super().init(intents=intents)
self.tree = app_commands.CommandTree(self)
async def setup_hook(self):
await self.tree.sync()

intents = discord.Intents.default()
client = MyClient(intents=intents)

[final iron]

So you're doing discord.Client.Embed which doesn't exist

[onyx elk]

what do then?

[final iron]

!d discord.Embed

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Embed

class discord.Embed(*, colour=None, color=None, title=None, type='rich', url=None, description=None, timestamp=None)```
Represents a Discord embed.

len(x) Returns the total size of the embed. Useful for checking if it’s within the 6000 character limit.

bool(b) Returns whether the embed has any data set.

New in version 2.0...

[onyx elk]

how import embed?

[final iron]

It's just discord.Embed

[onyx elk]

ok

[onyx elk]

await interaction.response.send_message(embed=embed)

idk it int working is it this still?

[final iron]

right there

i need to just send the file without preview

[final iron]

I don't believe that's possible

That's formatted by Discord

Actually you can try the suppress_embeds kwarg

See if that does anything

ok lemme try

well it doesn't do anything

anyway thanks for help

[acoustic kernel]

Question, can you add specific description for a parameter for a slash command?

Like after where it says role it tells you the instructions for the input to that parameter?

[final iron]

!d discord.app_commands.describe

[unkempt canyon]

discord.app\_commands.describe

@discord.app_commands.describe(**parameters)```
Describes the given parameters by their name using the key of the keyword argument as the name.

Example:

```py
@app_commands.command(description='Bans a member')
@app_commands.describe(member='the member to ban')
async def ban(interaction: discord.Interaction, member: discord.Member):
    await interaction.response.send_message(f'Banned {member}')
```  Alternatively, you can describe parameters using Google, Sphinx, or Numpy style docstrings...

[acoustic kernel]

Aight thanks

[pure garden]

@unkempt canyon whats the event to get when a member boost your server

[sick birch]

it's just an on message

check the type of the message, though

[final iron]

!d discord.on_member_update

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_member\_update

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

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

[final iron]

Then check

!d discord.Member.premium_since

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.premium\_since

An aware datetime object that specifies the date and time in UTC when the member used their “Nitro boost” on the guild, if available. This could be None.

[final iron]

Discord doesn't dispatch any event when the server gets boosted

[sick birch]

having the boost message is the only way iirc

or maybe you get a guild update. haven't checked

[final iron]

It says when a Guild updates but doesn't specify

I can't really test it as well lol

[latent jay]

With slash commands can you set an option as accepting a file?

[final iron]

Yes

Typehint as discord.Attachment

[latent jay]

what's the deco for an optional argument?

[final iron]

!d typing.Optional

[unkempt canyon]

typing.Optional

typing.Optional```
`Optional[X]` is equivalent to `X | None` (or `Union[X, None]`).

Note that this is not the same concept as an optional argument, which is one that has a default. An optional argument with a default does not require the `Optional` qualifier on its type annotation just because it is optional. For example:

```py
def foo(arg: int = 0) -> None:
    ...
```  On the other hand, if an explicit value of `None` is allowed, the use of `Optional` is appropriate, whether the argument is optional or not. For example:

```py
def foo(arg: Optional[int] = None) -> None:
    ...
```...

[final iron]

Or default to a value

[latent jay]

I mean like for slash commands isn't there an arg for like /help <optional: menu>

[final iron]

Yeah you'd typehint the arg with this

[latent jay]

So it wouldn't need a command_choices

[final iron]

What is command_choices

What library are you using

[latent jay]

I meant @app_commands.choices()

[final iron]

Do you know what choices() does?

[latent jay]

Yeah but when you add them they're required right

[final iron]

I don't believe so

[latent jay]

Can I do this in slash commands? file: discord.Attachment

[final iron]

@latent jay

[latent jay]

And to send a file?

[final iron]

wdym

[latent jay]

Like how can I make the bot send a file

in response to the slash command

[final iron]

file kwarg

!d discord.InteractionResponse.send_message

[unkempt canyon]

discord.InteractionResponse.send\_message

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

Responds to this interaction by sending a message.

[latent jay]

oh, I should've specified, I'm using Interaction.edit_original_response()

Says it's attachments?

[final iron]

!d discord.Interaction.edit_original_response

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Interaction.edit\_original\_response

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

Edits the original interaction response message.

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

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

[final iron]

Yeah it would be

[latent jay]

And then I'd just do attachments=discord.File('path/to/file) right?

[final iron]

Yeah

Well attachments is a list

So you’d need to put that discord.File object into a list

[acoustic kernel]

Question, how do I get the bot to not send the "no response" message

[golden portal]

You need to actually respond to the interaction instead of sending the message to the channel

!d discord.InteractionResponse.send_message

[unkempt canyon]

discord.InteractionResponse.send\_message

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

Responds to this interaction by sending a message.

[golden portal]

Use that instead

[latent jay]

How could I use wait_for to check for an attachment?

[shrewd fjord]

!d discord.Message.attachments

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message.attachments

A list of attachments given to a message. If Intents.message_content is not enabled this will always be an empty list unless the bot is mentioned or the message is a direct message.

[shrewd fjord]

You can use len(message.attachments)

!ping

[unkempt canyon]

You are not allowed to use that command here. Please use the #bot-commands channel instead.

Does anyone have experience adding role management based on a reaction to a message?

[final iron]

This has been millions of times. Just ask your question

Don’t ask to ask. Just ask your question and you’ll get a faster response

[agile cedar]

Sorry I am just running into trouble. Obviously I haven't set it up correctly, but I want to assign a role based on a reaction to a message... but the reaction event isn't being registerd to the bot.

My code:

[final iron]

!d discord.on_reaction_add

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_reaction\_add

discord.on_reaction_add(reaction, user)```
Called when a message has a reaction added to it. Similar to [`on_message_edit()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.on_message_edit), if the message is not found in the internal message cache, then this event will not be called. Consider using [`on_raw_reaction_add()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.on_raw_reaction_add) instead.

Note

To get the [`Message`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Message) being reacted, access it via [`Reaction.message`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Reaction.message).

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

Note

This doesn’t require [`Intents.members`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Intents.members) within a guild context, but due to Discord not providing updated user information in a direct message it’s required for direct messages to receive this event. Consider using [`on_raw_reaction_add()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.on_raw_reaction_add) if you need this and do not otherwise want to enable the members intent.

!d textwrap.wrap

textwrap.wrap

textwrap.wrap(text, width=70, *, initial_indent='', subsequent_indent='', expand_tabs=True, replace_whitespace=True, fix_sentence_endings=False, break_long_words=True, ...)```
Wraps the single paragraph in *text* (a string) so every line is at most *width* characters long. Returns a list of output lines, without final newlines.

Optional keyword arguments correspond to the instance attributes of [`TextWrapper`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/textwrap.html#textwrap.TextWrapper), documented below.

See the [`TextWrapper.wrap()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/textwrap.html#textwrap.TextWrapper.wrap) method for additional details on how [`wrap()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/textwrap.html#textwrap.wrap) behaves.

[fervent cove]

Hey, I've been fighting with this command for so long, and it still sometimes throws API rate limit. Any suggestions, how to make it better/smoother/orwhatever, that will make it always work?

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/AU2Q
(I'm talking ab first file, the other two files are just imports I'm using)

[slate swan]

I think im doing somthing wrong, i can get a message to embed but how do i change the values?

what it says i mean

[ashen notch]

I'm looking at views in discord.py, specifically persistent buttons. I'm seeing that you have to use .add_view() to make sure that it's being watched and the example that is on the discord.py repo shows it being added during the setup_hook(). I'm trying to understand two things:

1. Does it need to be in setup_hook or is that just the example they have?
2. Can setup_hook be called in a cog and the view added that way or does it need to be on the base bot class?

Not sure if I'm explaining that well at all

[slate swan]

Are you talking to me? or someone else, i can't tell

[ashen notch]

Anyone in general, sorry

Just had my own question is all

[slate swan]

my brain smooth

[slate swan]

1. you can do that elsewhere but preferably in setup_hook, you dont want this to be called more than once
2. i belive setup_hook behaves like event

[ashen notch]

So it should be one of the methods that'll be treated the same as if it were in the bot proper

Does it need the event decorator?

[slate swan]

if someone could dumb this down for me please i think i misunderstand it

[final iron]

setup_hook is a method of commands.Bot so you’ll need to overwrite it via subclassing or assigning it

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.setup_hook

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.setup\_hook

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

A coroutine to be called to setup the bot, by default this is blank.

To perform asynchronous setup after the bot is logged in but before it has connected to the Websocket, overwrite this coroutine.

This is only called once, in [`login()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.login), and will be called before any events are dispatched, making it a better solution than doing such setup in the [`on_ready()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.on_ready) event.

Warning

Since this is called *before* the websocket connection is made therefore anything that waits for the websocket will deadlock, this includes things like [`wait_for()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.wait_for) and [`wait_until_ready()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.wait_until_ready)...

[final iron]

setup_hook isn’t an actual event sent by Discord like on_ready, it’ll simply just executed once on login. I’d think of it more of a method than an event

[final iron]

Which part are you having trouble with?

[slate swan]

the last bits, starting at command object and the code itself

the other article helped a bit for some other things

i just sorta need to know how that custom command works and what i can change on it

[final iron]

The gist goes over that

[hushed galleon]

1. add_view() is synchronous so in theory you could put it anywhere, though constructing a view itself appears to require a running event loop at minimum
2. For a cog I would suggest the (a)synchronous Cog.cog_load() method which gives you a good place to fetch any state needed for constructing your view

it's not particularly obvious how you'd remove the view during cog_unload() (to prevent old callbacks firing if you reload the cog), but based on their source code, any references to the view and its callbacks should be discarded when you .stop() the view

[unkempt canyon]

discord/ui/view.py lines 431 to 432

def _start_listening_from_store(self, store: ViewStore) -> None:
    self.__cancel_callback = partial(store.remove_view)```

[cold oyster]

oooooo tysm

[ruby valve]

hey so im trying to make a command to essentially create an event rsvp with slash commands. The user will simply do /rsvpcreate and then there will be a questionnaire essentially to get the details needed for the event. The bot will initially respond with "Let's create a new event! Please provide the following information." but I cant figure out how to respond again with the first question being asking for the timezone.

Sorry about bad formatting im tired as

[final iron]

You’ll need to be more descriptive. You’re also stating elements and leaving out crucial information assuming we know what they are

How is this questionnaire formatted? Is it a modal or something else? What do you mean respond again? Respond to what?

[ruby valve]

alright so, the user does /rsvpcreate. The bot responds with a message "Let's create a new event! Please provide the following information." and will then send another message "1. What is your timezone? (e.g., 'Australia/Brisbane')". The user will reply with a regular message with the country and city or their timezone, that data will then be stored and the bot will send another message "2. What channel will the event be in?" where the user do the same thing, replying with the channel id or channel name whichll then be stored. This is my first time playing around with slash commands and I cant figure out how to respond to regular messages from the interaction (slash command) user.

[final iron]

Why not just have the timezone and channel as arguments in the slash command?

Or a dropdown menu

[ruby valve]

just noticed i forgot to mention that there will be 8 questions, im trying to make it as user friendly as possible so I'd rather a more interactive solution. I probably could put all of them as arguments in the slash command but I feel like that would end up messy for me and the user, even if I only do a few like the channel and timezone I'm still left with the same issue

[final iron]

It really depends on what the question is. In my opinion, timezone should be an autocomplete parameter in the slash command. That makes it easier for you and the user. The channel could be a channel select dropdown as they were pretty much intended for that purpose

Different arguments require different formats

The timezone could also just be a string argument or a wait_for, depending on what you want

[vale wing]

Make a site 😜

Best UX

But yeah for discord bot good option would be redirecting users to some timestamp generation site and pasting the number from there

Or telling them to type time in UTC like that's their problem to convert time

[slate swan]

what is the discord for py bots

[robust fulcrum]

What?

[shadow vigil]

what's the discord library for python?

[vale wing]

This one?

[flat solstice]

Could I make a command/function of my bot to log into a different bot account.
Something like this psuedo code:

async def subbot(ctx, token: str):
    output=""
    subbot = discord.ext.commands.Bot(command_prefix='?', intents=discord.Intents.default())
    @subbot.event
    async def on_ready():
        output=(f'Logged in as {subbot.user} (ID: {subbot.user.id})')
    @subbot.command()
    async def test(ctx):
        output=("test response")
        await ctx.send(output)
    subbot.run(token)
    await ctx.send(output)

[slate swan]

why would you want to run a bot .. with another bot

[flat solstice]

I host Discord bots for ppl, if they go down for whatever I need to trawl through Discord DMs to try to remember who owns the bot to notify them about the outage.
So my idea was I could just get my management bot (which isn't in their servers) to log in to their instance to send them a message about the outage. I had a few other use cases for such a feature but that's the easiest to explain
White label instances would also be a good use for such a implementation

use checks

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.check

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.check

@check```
A decorator that adds a global check to the bot.

A global check is similar to a [`check()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.check) that is applied on a per command basis except it is run before any command checks have been verified and applies to every command the bot has.

Note

This function can either be a regular function or a coroutine.

Similar to a command [`check()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.check), this takes a single parameter of type [`Context`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Context) and can only raise exceptions inherited from [`CommandError`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.CommandError).

description of this channel

[flat solstice]

Would this code be functional?

[final iron]

Why are you asking us

Just run it

[flat solstice]

cause I don't have a functional bot rn

[final iron]

What you’re asking won’t work

Unless you do some extremely hacky subprocess work to start the files of the other bot and capture and redirect the stdout you’ll need to use threading

Threading comes with the performance implications

[flat solstice]

okay thanks I was only planning to have 2 or 3 commands with this subbot so I wasn't really thinking of additional files. I'll look into threading then

[hushed galleon]

this kind of ends up being a general concurrency problem but you can run another bot in three ways:

1. creating a subprocess
2. creating a thread
3. using the same event loop
   using the same event loop is probably the easiest solution particularly if you need to share information between both bots

[final iron]

Using the same event loop can come with unexpected issues though

[hushed galleon]

im not aware of any issues with it

by simple i mean the bare minimum being: ```py
subbot_tasks = []

async def start_bot():
bot = MySubBot(...)
task = asyncio.create_task(bot.start(token))
subbot_tasks.append(task)```

[shrewd vapor]

Hello, idk how to make a ban command for ban with id or member and not only id or not only the @

[final iron]

You’ll have to verify none of the bots contain blocking code or lengthy IO tasks

[hushed galleon]

as in you want to ban someone by ID instead of their name?

[shrewd vapor]

Both, I'd like to do with id or name in the same command

[hushed galleon]

ehh that's an issue regardless of how you run your bots, but i guess the consequences would be a bit worse

[hushed galleon]

for discord.py you could typehint your command parameter with discord.Member which can convert both names and IDs to the same person

also works for slash commands too

[final iron]

If separate files were being run it would only affect the 1 bot, but with a shared event loop it has the potential to freeze all of them and imo if you’re functioning as a hosting platform of sorts you can’t really just reject peoples code

[hushed galleon]

yeah there's a lot of factors to consider with the scalability of your program

[shrewd vapor]

Yes but if you put member: discord.Member, you can't enter id

[hushed galleon]

oh for slash commands yeah, i forgot they don't autocomplete IDs

have you considered using a context menu instead?

[shrewd vapor]

Yes i use only slash command with 2.x.x

I have never use context menu

[hushed galleon]

context menus let you add right-click actions for messages and users

[flat solstice]

okay thanks for this, useful info to know

[flat solstice]

so the hosted bots themselves would run completely independently of my management bot (not within in it), I just want my management bot to be able to log into their bots accounts using their tokens so I can send a message as their bot. It wouldn't need to be logged into their bot all of the time, ergo the command

[hushed galleon]

if you just need to send a message, you could login() + get_partial_messageable().send() to make the API request without doing a full-on gateway connection, or alternatively use the discord API directly if you find that more familiar

[flat solstice]

I hadn't thought of that, that could be option

[shrewd vapor]

My command don't want to load on discord...

I wait since 30 minutes

And i have bot.tree.sync in my code

[loud mirage]

Can someone help me with this {

"Bot": {
"command_prefix": "!"

[glad cradle]

what the actual fuck

[slate swan]

blud be coding in JSON

[shrewd vapor]

I have write that:

@bot.tree.command(name="ban", description="Ban a member")
async def ban_user(interaction: Interaction, member: discord.Member or str, *, reason: str = None):
    await interaction.response.defer()

    print(f"Attempting to ban: {member}")

    if not interaction.user.guild_permissions.ban_members:
        await interaction.followup.send(f"You are not authorized to use this command {interaction.user.mention}")
        return

    if isinstance(member, str):
        try:
            member = await bot.fetch_user(int(member))
        except discord.NotFound:
            await interaction.followup.send("User not found")
            return

    print(f"After fetch_user, member is: {member}")

    if not isinstance(member, discord.Member):
        await interaction.followup.send("Invalid user")
        return

    if member == interaction.user:
        await interaction.followup.send("You can't ban yourself")
        return

    if member == interaction.guild.owner:
        await interaction.followup.send("You can't ban the owner")
        return

    if member == bot.user:
        await interaction.followup.send("You can't ban me")
        return

    await interaction.guild.ban(member, reason=reason)
    await interaction.followup.send(f"{member} banned from the server")```

And i get this error

When i put the id

[slate swan]

Why discord.Member or str

[shrewd vapor]

for put the id

or the @member

id if the user is not on the server

[slate swan]

That's not how it works, use a converter

And especially if you're using slash commands options

And also instead of having a check for the user's permission, make it a decorator and handle the error in your error handler

[slate swan]

thats already handled by Member converter

[final iron]

What is this

As a legitmate question

What are you trying to do?

[final iron]

What’s the point of this when the default ban command exists

The built-in one is objectively better

You’re also never checking for hierarchy

[loud mirage]

It's to track what code I join in a game and idk how to fix it and make it work

[final iron]

Well first of all, whats with all the dictionaries?

What library are you using?

[loud mirage]

Wdm

Wdym

[final iron]

Which discord API wrapper are you using

[loud mirage]

Idk

[final iron]

Are you following a guide?

[loud mirage]

Nope

[vapid parcel]

local_time = datetime.now()
text = "© UniBot 2023-2024 • Today at {}".format(local_time.strftime("%I:%M %p"))```

this is how dyno/carl/mee6 do it correct?

so it shows the correct time for everyone..?

@final iron (sorry for the ping)

Just wondering if you know if thats correct..

[rugged shadow]

!d discord.Embed

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Embed

class discord.Embed(*, colour=None, color=None, title=None, type='rich', url=None, description=None, timestamp=None)```
Represents a Discord embed.

len(x) Returns the total size of the embed. Useful for checking if it’s within the 6000 character limit.

bool(b) Returns whether the embed has any data set.

New in version 2.0.

x == y Checks if two embeds are equal.

New in version 2.0...

[rugged shadow]

use the timestamp property

[vapid parcel]

Oh

damn

[rugged shadow]

it's really easy

you just have to pass local_time in there

no, wait, it's actually UTC time i think

[rugged shadow]

yep

[vapid parcel]

Now real question

will it show different time for others based on their time?

thats kinda the goal here XD

[rugged shadow]

it's expecting UTC timestamp so use datetime.utcnow instead

[vapid parcel]

But would it show my time if i use UTC?

cuz im CST

[rugged shadow]

yeah it should

[vapid parcel]

let me test rq

[rugged shadow]

that's on Discord's side to render the time on the client

you just have to supply the utc timestamp and it'll convert to the client's local time

[vapid parcel]

Okay it works :)

Now is there a way to make it do my test before the time?

[rugged shadow]

what are you saying here?

[vapid parcel]

So the timestamp is a footer

but i also wanna have "© UniBot 2023-2024 • timestamp" as the footer you know?

[vapid parcel]

Like this, but this was before i had the timestamp in the embed. but now i have it in the embed... but the timestamp is a footer, so how can i do that?

Oh i know why, i was on the wrong embed

mb

[latent jay]

How do I edit an interaction message? I can't call edit() on a interaction.response.send_message

[fading marlin]

!d discord.Interaction.edit_original_response

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Interaction.edit\_original\_response

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

Edits the original interaction response message.

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

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

[latent jay]

gotcha

[vapid parcel]

Okay so i just had the timestamp stuff working right?

Why is it now saying Tomorrow 😭

[golden portal]

are you using the correct datetime?

!d discord.utils.utcnow

[unkempt canyon]

discord.utils.utcnow

discord.utils.utcnow()```
A helper function to return an aware UTC datetime representing the current time.

This should be preferred to [`datetime.datetime.utcnow()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html#datetime.datetime.utcnow) since it is an aware datetime, compared to the naive datetime in the standard library.

New in version 2.0.

[golden portal]

use that, datetime needs to be aware

[slate swan]

if someone could peep my thread, that would be amazing #1175628107504435240

[vapid parcel]

nah, im using datetime.now()

cuz it actually does it correct unlike utcnow

[golden portal]

Probably coincidentally the timestamp was matching UTC timezone

[vapid parcel]

mhm

so ill just use .now instead of .utcnow

[golden portal]

Its recommended to use discord.utils.utcnow instead

I'm not talking about datetime.utcnow

[vapid parcel]

whats the benefits..?

or the "difference"

Pros n cons

[golden portal]

its a datetime aware

Pretty much every datetime in dpy is aware iirc

[vapid parcel]

So i should just do
timestamp=discord.utils.utcnow(),

[golden portal]

yea sure

[final iron]

Try it and see

[vapid parcel]

It works

i tried it

I guess ill just that..?

Thank you ^^

hello hello i have a ready discord bot coded on python now i want to host it i want a free option like really free i treied every thing which shows on google result maybe there is hidden gem platform

[vapid parcel]

Do have a question, this is still about timestamps but for a custom embed... based on True or False basically, whats the best way to approach the timestamp for this besides the way i do it..?

[fast charm]

@vapid parcel how do you embed these code

[vapid parcel]

use ```````

then do py

best way i can explain it without it messing up lol

[fast charm]

try one more time

[vapid parcel]

here ill just show you ig

[fast charm]

you mean this```

[vapid parcel]

yes

idk what its called

[fast charm]

thanks can you help me with my probleme

[vapid parcel]

Sorry for ping @golden portal or @final iron..

What would be the best way to approach a timestamp for a custom embed command? Based on True or False?

Instead of my approach^

[final iron]

There no good free options

0

You have to pay one way or another

[golden portal]

looks fine to me, personally I would just use a flagconverter by looking at how many argument that have

[final iron]

I’d typehint it is a bool so users can choose if they want one or not. I’d typehint a lot of your other parameters as well

[fast charm]

ohh boy pay is like stealling my parents money i am minor also

[final iron]

discord.pys converters supports bools. It converts a few different inputs, which are listed in the docs

I’d check those out

[vapid parcel]

Okay thank you

[final iron]

Welp, nothing is free

[vapid parcel]

Thank you too.

[final iron]

Who do you think is paying for the servers, equipment, electricity, land, maintenance and development of the servers?

[vapid parcel]

There is 1 free one... but I wouldn't recommend them because they have access to all of your data.. including the token.

[final iron]

Somebody has to

[fast charm]

https://tenor.com/view/give-me-give-it-to-me-now-gif-6486247

[vapid parcel]

Which means they can sell your data, but every website sells your data in a way lmao

This is all on you if you use them just saying.
https://bot-hosting.net

[fast charm]

i know it should not free but noob likey what the will do

[final iron]

Every free option has major pitfalls

[vapid parcel]

Reminder this is a free host, not the best, also not the safest, but thats on you like i said.

[final iron]

You can scrounge up the $5 a month a proper VPS requires

Get a job if you can’t

[vapid parcel]

He did mention he is a minor, depends where you live i guess, for me I can't legally get a job until 18 sadly lol

Could go mow grass tho :)

[final iron]

There are other ways to make money

Landscaping, gardening, cleaning etc

[fast charm]

yeah there is tea shop i can clean pots @final iron

[vapid parcel]

Well obvi lol, yard work, cleaning, chores (up to parents), many other ways, selling things that can make profit that you dont need.

[final iron]

Walk up to a house, ask for $2 to clean the weeds from their lawn

[vapid parcel]

Do it XD

[final iron]

Do that 5 times and you’ve paid for 2 months of hosting

[vapid parcel]

make the money

[fast charm]

i am sure you are from usa

[vapid parcel]

Well, physically he did... but he would need a card to do it lol

[final iron]

I’m not

[fast charm]

exactlly

[final iron]

Give parents cash and they’ll most likely let him use their card. If not just ask a friend

[fast charm]

thanks i will work on that time to do some risky hosting

[vapid parcel]

Well yeah, just depends on if they really wanna 😭 parents be wilding sometimes

[vapid parcel]

If you dont mind me asking tho, whats a good VPS

and trusted ^

[final iron]

Tags “vps” and “cheaper vps” in the dpy server

[vapid parcel]

What type of VPS are better..?

or reliable?

[fast charm]

@vapid parcel can i make a .env file there and no need of disclossing my token

[final iron]

.env files can still be opened

[vapid parcel]

you can make an env file, but they have access to everything

Read the ToS and Privacy for their site before using.

[final iron]

VPS tag is really just based on price and which location you want it in. Cheaper VPS lists the pros and cons

Are you looking for a cheaper or more expensive option?

[vapid parcel]

Oh okay

[vapid parcel]

Im a minor, so imma go with cheaper because not much money XD

[final iron]

Hetzner imo

[vapid parcel]

Also rather get a VPS, so i can run more than 1 bot basically, i know you run more than 1 bot in 1 terminal, just dont know how to right now sadly

[vapid parcel]

Okay, ill check them out, gotta save up first :)

Thank you for the help

[vapid parcel]

Oh also, can you make Sqlite technically be online..? for like a website dashboard for a bot..?

Or would you need a VPS

[final iron]

It’s like $4 a month for the cheapest tier

[final iron]

wdym online

[vapid parcel]

Connected to a website

[fast charm]

@vapid parcel hey bro one more thing atleast discord server bot dont send me notification of exposed token

[final iron]

You’ll still have to run the files for the website

You can keep your database files in the directory where your website is being run from

If you want your database on a server you’ll need to look into pymongo

You can also create a little API to interact with your database if you want

[vapid parcel]

we are thinking of switching to this?

https://www.postgresql.org/

insteal of just SQLite

[vapid parcel]

Nope

they do not... they should tho lowkey, that would be smart... but they dont,

[final iron]

Any reason why

[vapid parcel]

Well the reason why is because we have no clue if we can make the SQlite db work with a website

we havent done much research yet, its like way in the future.. but we are just thinking of it, just thoughts, not commits lol

[final iron]

PostgreSQL would be the same situation as SQLite

They both interact with local database files

[vapid parcel]

oh hm

Well, we have to do more research tbh

we are just thinking on how we will do a dashboard n everything

[final iron]

I’d look into PyMongo

[vapid parcel]

Yeah its just thoughts for now, we still researching many things

But yeah, we wanna switch to VPS, get away from a host, then we can do many more things

more freedom XD

[final iron]

VPS is a good start

[pale cobalt]

where can I ask for codes For my discord bot?

[rugged shadow]

your brain

[vapid parcel]

[slate swan]

is py_cord different than discord.py?

how shall i add a slash command or application command using discord.py?

[slate swan]

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

[slate swan]

can't i use commands.Bot?

instead of client

you can

how

just like youdo with client

tell me the code so that i can put a slash command in my bot

[slate swan]

yeah its right there

[slate swan]

File "c:\Users\admin\Desktop\Coding Knowledge Drive 2\Python Programs\Discord\Helper Bot version 1\main.py", line 46, in <module>
@bot.tree.command()
^^^^^^^^
AttributeError: 'Bot' object has no attribute 'tree'

it gives this

then its not discord.py

the module name is only "discord"

it should be discord.py

!pypi discord.py

[unkempt canyon]

discord.py v2.3.2

A Python wrapper for the Discord API

[slate swan]

i should change it to import discord.py?

import name is not the same as package name

[ivory storm]

Why this bot don't responding to message

!mcintent

[unkempt canyon]

Discord Message Content Intent

The Discord gateway only dispatches events you subscribe to, which you can configure by using "intents."

The message content intent is what determines if an app will receive the actual content of newly created messages. Without this intent, discord.py won't be able to detect prefix commands, so prefix commands won't respond.

Privileged intents, such as message content, have to be explicitly enabled from the Discord Developer Portal in addition to being enabled in the code:

intents = discord.Intents.default() # create a default Intents instance
intents.message_content = True # enable message content intents

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="!", intents=intents) # actually pass it into the constructor

For more information on intents, see /tag intents. If prefix commands are still not working, see /tag on-message-event.

[ivory storm]

Thank you its work

[slate swan]

import discord
from discord.ext import commands
import asyncio

command_prefix = "."

intents = discord.Intents.all()

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix=command_prefix, intents=intents)

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

@bot.tree.command()

    """Says hello!"""
    await interaction.response.send_message(f'Hi, {interaction.user.mention}')    
    
    
bot.run('')

in this when i put other commands they are working but this tree command isnt working also this tree command is only slash command right?

[ivory storm]

How to show bot here

[slate swan]

yes i want to ask same question

[slate swan]

caues its not discord.py ...

i want my slash command to be there

[slate swan]

then what is it

i have downloaded discord.py only

then send output of pip list

!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.

[slate swan]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/B5UQ

put this in your code print(discord.__version__)

right after you import discord

[slate swan]

2.3.2

this is output

okay how about __author__

[slate swan]

Rapptz

odd

[slate swan]

hybrid command also not working

shall i uninstall discord.py and install again>?

you can try ig

[slate swan]

what does this do

[slate swan]

makes prefix and slash command at once

!help\

Hi what are you doing here

[slate swan]

reinstalled and still hybrid command and tree command not working

in hybrid command ".hello" is working but not "/hello"

. is my default prefix

when i type /hello nothing pops up

can you do from discord import app_commands

and see if this import works

yes its working

no error on that

show full code with @bot.tree.command()

[slate swan]

import discord
from discord import app_commands
from discord.ext import commands
import asyncio

print(discord.__version__)
print(discord.__author__)

# Set your command prefix
command_prefix = "."

intents = discord.Intents.all()

# Create an instance of the bot
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix=command_prefix, intents=intents)

# Event handler when the bot is ready
@bot.event
async def on_ready():
    print(f'Logged in as {bot.user.name}')

# Command to get ping
@bot.command(name='ping')
async def get_ping(ctx):
    latency = bot.latency * 1000  # Convert to milliseconds
    await ctx.send(f'Pong! {latency:.2f}ms')

@bot.command(name='raid')
async def raid(ctx):
    await ctx.send("Timer set! I will ping you after 30 mins!")
    await asyncio.sleep(1800)
    message1 = ctx.author.mention
    await ctx.send(f"Raid cooldown is over! {message1}")

@bot.command(name='hourly')
async def hourly(ctx):
    await ctx.send("Timer set! I will ping you after 1 Hour!")
    await asyncio.sleep(3600)
    message1 = ctx.author.mention
    await ctx.send(f"Hourly cooldown is over! {message1}")

@bot.command(name='timer')
async def timer(ctx, time):
    await ctx.send(f"Timer of {time} seconds have been set!")
    await asyncio.sleep(int(time))
    message2 = ctx.author.mention
    await ctx.send(f"Time up! {time} Seconds have been passed. {message2}")    

@bot.hybrid_command
async def hello(ctx):
    await ctx.send("hello!")
    
@bot.tree.command()
async def hello(interaction: discord.Interaction):
    """Says hello!"""
    await interaction.response.send_message(f'Hi, {interaction.user.mention}')
    
# Run the bot with your token
bot.run('')

and what error you get

[slate swan]

no errors but they dont work

did you invite bot with application.commands scope?

the bot is up and the other commands are working

https://fallendeity.github.io/discord.py-masterclass/#adding-the-bot-to-a-server

[slate swan]

i invited it and gave permission as administrator

[slate swan]

ok but did you invite it with application.commands scope enabled?

ok wait i get what ur saying

[slate swan]

just read whats in this section i linked

and do what it says

[slate swan]

done

i ticked bot and application.commands in scope and administrator and using that url i invited the bot again

👍

but still not working :(((((((((((((((((((((

you need to sync the commands

i put / and my bot doesnt even appear there and when i put /hello still it doesnt appear

add this code ```py
@bot.event
async def setup_hook():
await bot.tree.sync(discord.Object(YOUR_GUILD_ID))

YOUR_GUILD_ID?

yeah YOUR_GUILD_ID

that you are testing the bot in

yeah

why my msg is red

oh nvm

[slate swan]

File "c:\Users\admin\Desktop\Coding Knowledge Drive 2\Python Programs\Discord\Helper Bot version 1\main.py", line 25, in setup_hook
await bot.tree.sync(discord.Object(12121212121212121212))
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
TypeError: CommandTree.sync() takes 1 positional argument but 2 were given

that 121212121212 is my guild id but my guild id is different

!d discord.app_commands.CommandTree.sync

[unkempt canyon]

discord.app\_commands.CommandTree.sync

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

Syncs the application commands to Discord.

This also runs the translator to get the translated strings necessary for feeding back into Discord.

This must be called for the application commands to show up.

[slate swan]

sorry you have to add guild=discord.Object(...)

[slate swan]

same as it is?

obviously you put id instead of dots

oh my guuild id

i put that but same

same what

it still does not appear?

no

i guess you have to wait a bit

it may take a while

[slate swan]

can you give me a simple code which have atleast one slash command and it actually works?

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

no pls thats very complicated

i cant understnad it

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

now i remember why i dont use discord.py
so much effort just to have slash command

[slate swan]

Anyone that has the knowledge that is required to use discord.py should be able to easily understand the code

[slate swan]

ngl thats some facts

If you don't, you need to learn Python and the various required topics/themes to know

[slate swan]

but i am new

[slate swan]

you shouldnt start from a discord bot tho

Then you shouldn't use discord.py and learn Python

thats why i came to ask questions

[slate swan]

look at my code its so simple and short and easy to understand

and look at that code ...

[slate swan]

that doesnt make you understand it

i doubt you know what OOP, decorators and async await syntax is

if you are new

[merry cliff]

yeah please just start with the basics

[cloud dawn]

I stated with discord.py with python

[naive briar]

I started to learn Python just to make myself a bot 🫠

It's probably 3 years ago, almost right after I created my account

[slate swan]

not gonna lie i started making bots when i almost knew nothing too but it does not mean i recommend this way

[turbid vortex]

who will write a bot that will check all the files on the server that the participants throw off through the virustotal and into the channel for admins to throw off information whether the file is infected

[slate swan]

you can?

[turbid vortex]

no

[slate swan]

well nobody will do it for you so

It’s definitely possible but there is a rate limit

[slate swan]

anyone abl to help me with my discord bot?

[slate swan]

just ask your question and somebody will answer

i have trouble running my discord bot, anyone ableto help?

[slate swan]

Remember to:
• Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
• Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
• Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

[lofty pecan]

does anyone know a good tutorial about raspberry pi discord bot hosting?

[vapid lance]

Hello, I need help with my bot. Anyone wants to help me?

[vale wing]

I am an expert!

[vale wing]

Yes I definitely can help

Even if it's quantum computing

[lofty pecan]

same

[vapid lance]

Check my post in the #1035199133436354600 forum

[vale wing]

What OS does it have installed

[lofty pecan]

Well that's the thing, I don't have one yet, I don't know what to choose, I don't know how it works and what I should know before starting this

[vale wing]

Install ubuntu

Then use this guide https://www.pythondiscord.com/pages/guides/python-guides/docker-hosting-guide/

[lofty pecan]

So far I'm using pycharm to code and run my bot lol

plus I know nothing about Linux

[vale wing]

Can you link concrete post pls

[ivory storm]

Hi, someone know to do discord slash command, in end of code is one slash command but its don,t working.
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/CMGA

[vale wing]

It's okay check my guide

[lofty pecan]

thanks !

[vale wing]

1. You have both client and bot. For what reason?
2. You ain't syncing anywhere

Also a bunch of bad indents but I am assuming that's pasting problem

You being a beginner makes it harder to help you

So we typically ask to learn more before blindly trying stuff

[lofty pecan]

Hey again, I've created a class for a dropdown menu as follow:

class OCModifier(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self, bot, *args, **kwargs):
        super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        self.bot = bot
        self.modified_field = ""
        self.colour = None

    @discord.ui.select(
        placeholder="Select a field to modify for your OC.",
        options=[
            discord.SelectOption(label="OC Name", value="oc_name"),
            discord.SelectOption(label="OC Age", value="oc_age"),
            discord.SelectOption(label="OC Nationality", value="oc_nationality"),
            discord.SelectOption(label="OC Gender", value="oc_gender"),
            discord.SelectOption(label="OC Sexuality", value="oc_sexuality"),
            discord.SelectOption(label="OC Universe", value="oc_universe"),
            discord.SelectOption(label="OC Story", value="oc_story"),
            discord.SelectOption(label="OC Picture", value="oc_picture"),
            discord.SelectOption(label="OC Colour", value="oc_colour")
        ]
    )
    async def select_field(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, select_item: discord.ui.Select):
        self.modified_field = select_item.values[0]
        self.children[0].disabled = True
        await interaction.message.edit(view=self)
        await interaction.response.defer()
        self.stop()```

But I realised it'd be more practical to have the options to depend on parameters given by the user to have a general class. So I tried doing the following:

class DropdownMenu(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self, bot, labels, values, *args, **kwargs):
        super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        self.bot = bot
        self.modified_field = ""
        self.colour = None
        self.labels = labels
        self.values = values

    @discord.ui.select(
        placeholder="Select the name of the OC you want to modify")
    async def select_field(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, select_item: discord.ui.Select):
        self.modified_field = select_item.values[0]
        self.children[0].disabled = True
        self.options = [discord.SelectOption(label=label, value=value) for label, value in zip(self.labels, self.values)]
        await interaction.message.edit(view=self)
        await interaction.response.defer()
        self.stop()```

But now it says `unresolved reference` in the decorator

Is there a way to do what I want ?

[lofty pecan]

unrelated to my previous question about raspberry pie, but would you be able to help?

[faint rapids]

I just installed discord-py-slash-command in Python 3.11, but I am still encountering the ModuleNotFoundError. How can I fix this issue?

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "d:\.vscode\discord-bot\bot.py", line 3, in <module>
    from discord_slash import SlashCommand
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'discord_slash

[slate swan]

Why use a one or more years old outdated library

[shrewd apex]

why not use discord.py that has slash commands support

[slate swan]

Why not just use discord.py or some other fork

[lofty pecan]

I'm really confused why it doesn't work, please if anyone knows, hit me up

[slate swan]

Does anyone know how to make a command on discord.py (no slash commands)

[minor solstice]

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

[slate swan]

@minor solstice I'm kinda of a beginner dev so what do I put here?

Can anyone help me?

[hushed galleon]

personally i flashed Raspberry Pi OS 64-bit Lite onto mine which overall worked out pretty well, but that's cause i already knew how to remote SSH into it and do most of the setup from the command-line (the Lite edition doesn't provide a desktop)

regardless of the OS i would recommend using a 64-bit build, especially if you're installing compiled packages that don't have 32-bit ARM wheels (numpy, Pillow, etc. i think a lot of compiled packages don't have armv7l)

[shrewd apex]

++ pick the rpi oses unless u have bit of experience setting up headless pc's coz u would have to configure ssh and vnc clients manually raspian has those pre installed

there is a official image flasher as well rpi imager which helps you with the configuration

[slate swan]

Bro

Why isn't no one helping me...

[shrewd apex]

await ctx.send([i.name for i in bot.commands])

[slate swan]

@shrewd apex bro I meant no slash commands

[shrewd apex]

...

how did u figure out i sent slash command code?

[slate swan]

I told my friend and he said it was slash command

[shrewd apex]

damn well sorry to say but it isnt slash command code 🤡

it uses context

not interaction

[slate swan]

@shrewd apex bruh

I'm kinda new to coding so this is gonna be kinda hard

[shrewd apex]

show code

u forgot a "

to end the string

[slate swan]

Oh that's funny becuz I put a string at the end

Lemme check the problem

@shrewd apex 💀

[shrewd apex]

i think its probably for better that u learn python before attempting a discord bot also do use a pc for coding, programming in mobile is tedious to say the least

[slate swan]

Ur kinda right

[upbeat mason]

hey whats that website where you post long-ish code at?

i know you guys have some kind of custom one

nvm i found it

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/43FA

basically the bot is meant to show a slash command called /information but it just isnt creating, the bot has administrator

ping me if you respond

[glad cradle]

information is not a Slash command, it's a normal prefixed command

[upbeat mason]

oh damn ty

[glad cradle]

!d nextcord.slash_command

[unkempt canyon]

nextcord.slash\_command

class nextcord.slash_command(name=None, description=None, *, name_localizations=None, description_localizations=None, guild_ids=..., dm_permission=None, ...)```
Creates a Slash application command from the decorated function. Used inside [`ClientCog`](https://nextcord.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#nextcord.ClientCog)’s or something that subclasses it.

[upbeat mason]

thanks

[glad cradle]

you're welcome

[slate swan]

It's nextcord.slash_command, not nextcord.ext.commands.slash_command

[upbeat mason]

eh

i got it to work

thanks to you too

[paper crescent]

how can i create a thread in forum channel?

[slate swan]

!d discord.ForumChannel.create_thread

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ForumChannel.create\_thread

await create_thread(*, name, auto_archive_duration=..., slowmode_delay=None, content=None, tts=False, embed=..., embeds=..., file=..., files=..., stickers=..., ...)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Creates a thread in this forum.

This thread is a public thread with the initial message given. Currently in order to start a thread in this forum, the user needs [`send_messages`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Permissions.send_messages).

You must send at least one of `content`, `embed`, `embeds`, `file`, `files`, or `view` to create a thread in a forum, since forum channels must have a starter message.

[slate swan]

Simple as that

[paper crescent]

what can I do with this

@slate swan

[final iron]

Show your code

[paper crescent]

just pasted that

[upbeat mason]

is it possible to bypass the 28 day timeout limit?

[final iron]

create_thread is a method of ForumChannel

Copy and pasting it will not work

[final iron]

No

[upbeat mason]

okay ty

[vapid parcel]

See pep knows @upbeat mason

goofy

[upbeat mason]

there's another way though

[vapid parcel]

thats discords API rules 😭

Yeah which I think breaks API rules :/

[upbeat mason]

No

[vapid parcel]

Dyno only goes up to 14 days..? So 28 isnt that bad lmao

So maybe ask DYNO to upgrade :)

[upbeat mason]

They probs have a reason

[vapid parcel]

I have a reason too tho 😭

what is bro on 😭

[upbeat mason]

you aren't thinking outside the box 🌠

wanna know how

[vapid parcel]

Nope

[upbeat mason]

ok

[vapid parcel]

28 days is good enough :/

[upbeat mason]

I'll just use Carl to mute people for 999 years

[vapid parcel]

okay 👍

[south raven]

Yo

[fading pollen]

How do I run this bot I'm so stuck https://github.com/WpuGael/Xtreme-/blob/main/xtreme-main.zip

[clear lark]

upload the files of the bot, not the zip

[fading pollen]

I did right?

Oh I'm sorry

[fading pollen]

https://github.com/WpuGael/sxtreme

[clear lark]

What errors are you getting?

[fading pollen]

i just dont know how to run it i usually work with js not py

[clear lark]

Go ask YT for that

[fading pollen]

what do i ask

[clear lark]

yt

[fading pollen]

well ik how to run a normal bot but this one is confusing there is no place for token and it just looks odd

[final iron]

Why are you running it if you don't know what it does?

[fading pollen]

ik what it does

i just dont know how to run this specific one

[final iron]

Before running anything like this you should go over each piece of code to see what it does

[fading pollen]

Ik what this does and everything it does i just having trouble running it

[clear lark]

also, wherever you got the code, its mysql is just there in raw text

[fading pollen]

that the only part im confused

[final iron]

So you went over it?

[fading pollen]

it a copy of my discord bot but in py

[final iron]

Okay. Did you go over each part of code?

[fading pollen]

yes

i did

[final iron]

Okay, so we can figure out how it's running

At which line is the bot starting from?

[fading pollen]

2209

[final iron]

Okay, and when it's running the bot where is it referencing the token from?

[fading pollen]

Bot_Token = os.getenv('TOKEN')

[final iron]

Okay, and what does os.getenv() do?

[fading pollen]

im pretty sure it accesses environmental vars

[final iron]

So, if we look at the beginning of the code what else involves environment variables?

[fading pollen]

load_dotenv?

[final iron]

Great

So what does load_dotenv do?

[fading pollen]

loads .env files?

[final iron]

Correct

So, if we're loading a .env file and then getting an environment variable named TOKEN...

[fading pollen]

but technically couldnt i do Bot_Token = os.getenv('TOKEN') to bot_token = 'token' ?

[final iron]

If you wanted to
