[rugged shadow]

weird, i've never seen anyth like that

[drifting arrow]

Outside allows me to pull the data from the file in the decorators

and can still be used inside the commands/functions

[rugged shadow]

why are there two separate configs?

configs/json and configs

[drifting arrow]

what would the discordpy equivalent be to this?

if message.referenced_message:
            return
```?
i assume it's checking if the message is a response?

[drifting arrow]

for some reason he has a config.py file and a series of config.json files.
Which is fine I guess. just annoying lol

[rugged shadow]

atp just rewrite the entire thing, lmao

[drifting arrow]

I sorta am lol

Im trying to keep the integrity of the original setup so those who have already used it before know how to use it in future

[hushed galleon]

!d discord.Message.reference , assuming the code was referring to this attribute

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message.reference

The message that this message references. This is only applicable to messages of type MessageType.pins_add, crossposted messages created by a followed channel integration, or message replies.

New in version 1.5.

[drifting arrow]

ty. i believe it's that.

I believe he's trying to ignore messages that are in response to others.

Why does this guy insist on always opening a json file with every command

especially when they're on_message lol

[fast musk]

I do like to dabble in json when I'm lazy. But it is russian roulette

[vale wing]

Json db isn't even close to programming crimes I committed in past

[compact timber]

Hi, does someone here have experience with sending pictures with a discord bot?

[brazen raft]

Ye

[compact timber]

Okay so if you are familiar with Images in Python you should get the following i think:
`testzero = Image.open(r'C:\Downloads\tes2.png')
testone = Image.open(r'C:\Downloads\test.jpg')

get the correct size
x, y = testone.size

testzero.paste(testone, (0,0,x,y))`

Now i try to send that via await message.channel.send(file=testzero)

and get this Error: " 'JpegImageFile' object has no attribute 'to_dict' "

[brazen raft]

Save the image object into a discord.File:

with io.BytesIO() as img_buf:
    testzero.save(img_buf, format="png")
    img_buf.seek(0)
    await message.channel.send(file=discord.File(img_buf))

Discord.py provides a bot class with proper command handling and all. You should use it instead of implementing commands in one big on_message event handler if this is the case

[compact timber]

Ah okay, can you reccommend an example/documentation? Im new to Dc bots

[compact timber]

ill try that. Why you need this io.Bytes stuff etc?

[brazen raft]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/#getting-started

[brazen raft]

discord.File's constructor requires an fp parameter which is "a filename (string), pathlib.Path object or file object"

io.BytesIO is a file-like type

!d io.BytesIO

[unkempt canyon]

io.BytesIO

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

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

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

[compact timber]

okay thx

[west shuttle]

what do you recommend for an alternative to d.py?

[brazen raft]

What do you seek

[compact timber]

@brazen raft Now it does post something but its that :

😮

[brazen raft]

Give it a file name

That might work

[compact timber]

you mean instead of ìmg_buff` ?

hm well renaming the untitled file works but how can u make it a working picture before sending it

[brazen raft]

discord.File(img_buf, "lol.png") or whatever

[brazen raft]

What do you mean

[vale wing]

Disnake

[compact timber]

ah im stupid sorry

that works

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.

[compact timber]

Hm got a new Problem tho. I can do all resizing and pasting now but i have this problem:

As you can see, somehow the opacity information gets lost as the satin texture should be slightly tranparent on top of the backround layer

[brazen raft]

jpg don't support transparency

[compact timber]

i use png already

also tried tiff format

[brazen raft]

Not for testone

[compact timber]

ye that was test code

i got new

thats it

[robust fulcrum]

Guys is there a better and library with more features than discord.py ,I don't see a reason to switch to any other but just wana know

[sick birch]

there is an upper limit to how many features you can support, bound by the discord api

so not really, no

it's not like you can have 110% API coverage

[shrewd apex]

robin free for a few moments?

[sick birch]

depends on what for

[shrewd apex]

reviewing a guide

!remindme 2h this

[unkempt canyon]

I'll allow it.

Your reminder will arrive on <t:1701022993:F>!

ID: 6338

[vale wing]

Well there's voice receiving

Idk if dpy supports it

But some forks do

[vale wing]

There are libraries with more conveniences and different implementations of things

Like disnake has smart sync and .send() shortcut

[hushed galleon]

• at the start, i would show off examples of each component (or at least common ones) so the reader can immediately see what they do and have a rough idea of d.py's syntax
• i wouldn't consider a BaseView class to be that important since discord.ui.View is already sufficient to directly subclass from, so i would bring up that pattern near the end ("subclassing discord.ui.View works well for most cases, but if you find yourself repeating certain features like error handling, you might find it worthwhile to make a BaseView...")
• for full sentences in comments, it's worth punctuating them for readability

# to handle errors we first notify the user that an error has occurred and then disable all components``` instead of the above, rewrite it as: ```py
# To handle errors, we will first notify the user that an error
# has occurred and then disable all components.```

• in BaseView._disable_all(), instead of if isinstance(item, discord.ui.Button) or isinstance(item, BaseSelect): which references an undocumented class, i would write if hasattr(item, "disabled"):
• in "Using our view", i suggest clarifying in between the two examples that while assigning callbacks work fine, d.py conventionally uses the decorator and/or item subclass style for defining callbacks (personally i wouldn't mention monkeypatching at all)
• i suggest having a separate section for "Persistent Views" after buttons and select menus rather than two sub-sections about "Persistent Buttons" and "Persistent Select Menus", since it's a distinct concept from either components
  • i've written a guide about persistent views if you want to reference it: https://gist.github.com/thegamecracks/0f9ab7ad3982e65ff4aa429acb39cc4e
• i suggest having a separate section for "Dynamic Items" since they're a distinct concept from buttons and select menus (also this is my first time hearing about their existence, i thought it was still in design hell )
• there's a "dosent" typo in Modals
• as per BaseViews, i wouldn't consider BaseModals that important, but both could be discussed together in one section at the end like "Creating Base Classes" or something

[shrewd apex]

mhm ty for the review

[shrewd apex]

ill work on the changes if u have some other suggestions feel free to make a pr :p

[latent harness]

can i ask questions here even if i loaded with disnake?

[shrewd apex]

yeah

[unreal pilot]

disnake, never heard of that

[slate swan]

https://disnake.dev

[latent harness]

Ohk So I'm trying to remove the help command thats by default but its not getting removed.
Here's the code: https://paste.pythondiscord.com/HMUQ (Pls ping for reply!!)

[shrewd apex]

commands.Bot(help_command=None...

or

bot.reomve_command("help") # prefix not needed

[unreal pilot]

whats the improvement of disnake over discord.py?

[shrewd apex]

its not improvements perse its design differences

[unreal pilot]

ive always been a discord.py user as support has been great for it

[slate swan]

That's the case since its development was resumed

disnake is a fork that was created when discord.py was abandoned

[unreal pilot]

ah i see

[shrewd apex]

features ars the same few disnake features i like are

• context menus (user and message menus) in cogs (decorators)
• hot cog reloading
• slash command group decorators (dpy dosent have this they use group cogs)

[unreal pilot]

wdym in cogs?

dpy has context menus

[shrewd apex]

yeah but u cant declare them in cogs

[slate swan]

Not in cogs

[shrewd apex]

like how u would expect to

[slate swan]

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

[shrewd apex]

https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/issues/7823#issuecomment-1086830458 take a look at this

[unreal pilot]

creating additional custom cogs for that doesnt seem like too big of an issue

solely for context menus

[slate swan]

You don't get it

[unreal pilot]

i dont

[slate swan]

You can't add context menus in cogs like you can create commands in cogs

[unreal pilot]

thats kind of annoying

[slate swan]

Adding context menus in cogs will just do nothing or fail, unlike doing them outside of cogs in your e.g. main.py file

[unreal pilot]

yea

so you'll have to add custom decorators for main.py cogs

to get the currently used Cog and therefore enable or disable the context menu

which does make your main.py less organized

[unkempt canyon]

It has arrived!

Here's your reminder: this
[Jump back to when you created the reminder](#discord-bots message)

Can this be against ToS?

like privacy?

[vale wing]

Privacy is uh when you access other user's secret data so not the case

[vapid parcel]

Okay :)

So we are fine then :)

[vale wing]

But might be copyright

[vapid parcel]

How so?

[vale wing]

Might be that member being pissed

[vapid parcel]

its just copying display name and profile

[vale wing]

But I am not law expert

[vapid parcel]

XD

[vale wing]

In these cases it's best to ask discord themselves

[vapid parcel]

Eh if they complain then that is just a cry baby ig

How am i gonna ask discord myself 😭

[vale wing]

Through discord support

[vapid parcel]

They never respond

[vale wing]

Where does this bias come from

They respond to my every request

[vapid parcel]

Maybe cuz they have a crush on you

[vale wing]

Within reasonable time

[vapid parcel]

but thats just my thoughts

[vale wing]

They'd gift me infinite nitro

[vapid parcel]

Thats fair

fair point..

Maybe they wanna steal you?

[brazen raft]

Worst case scenario, other members may fall for it

[cunning briar]

@bot.tree.command(name='ai_ask')  
async def ai_ask(ctx, question : str):
    async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session:
        response = await session.post(url=API_URL, headers=HEADERS, data={'prompt': f'{question}\\n\n', 'max_tokens': 50})
        result = json.loads(await response.text())['choices'][0]['text']['restarted']
        await ctx.send(result)
``` why it dosent work?

[brazen raft]

I have no idea why, but tip: You can use (await response.json()) instead of json.loads(await response.text())

[vapid parcel]

XD

That would be sad lol

even tho it would say BOT by the webhook

[final iron]

Slash commands have a discord.Interaction instance as the first argument, and Interaction doesn’t have a send method

[brazen raft]

Good catch

[vapid parcel]

Can you see how many reports a bot has?

[robust fulcrum]

I see pycord somehow looks clean to me , idk if it's better

[rugged shadow]

you will like disnake then

[final iron]

pycord abstracts all the functionality from the user in the name of simplicity which counterintuitively makes the user experience worse

They’ve also displayed their inability to create new concepts and frameworks, and the maintainers steal code without permission or credits

[final iron]

Reports, as in the built in reporting system?

[vapid parcel]

ye

[lavish idol]

@vapid parcel check dms, thanks ✌️

[vapid parcel]

Bruh what

btw guys to make bold text in an embed, what do i do?
And what about in this type

[naive briar]

No girls? Okay then

[latent harness]

?

[slate swan]

Like in discord put it in **

[latent harness]

No in an embed code

[slate swan]

Yeah the answer is still the same

[latent harness]

oohk so i just put the same things in the code as in discorde after the apostrophe right?

[slate swan]

Yea try

[latent harness]

ooohk

[vale wing]

You can use markdown only in embed description and fields values, titles and footer do not support it

[latent harness]

Oohh ok

[vale wing]

Ohoho k

[latent harness]

got it. But any text (including footer and title) can be bold right?

[vale wing]

I just said

[latent harness]

Just by adding asterisk inside the apostrophes?

[vale wing]

Titles and footer do not support markdown

Hence you can't make anything bold or cursive or whatever

[latent harness]

Wait so no bold asw?

[latent harness]

oooh okkk. Sad

[vale wing]

Do you know what markdown is

[latent harness]

Lmao i thought with backtick

[vale wing]

It is what discord uses for all this bold and cursive stuff

https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/210298617-Markdown-Text-101-Chat-Formatting-Bold-Italic-Underline-

[latent harness]

ik ik got it

Ok so i want to add a url thumbnail to an embed. How do i do that?

@vale wing do you know how to?

[vale wing]

!d discord.Embed.set_thumbnail

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Embed.set\_thumbnail

set_thumbnail(*, url)```
Sets the thumbnail for the embed content.

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

Changed in version 1.4: Passing `None` removes the thumbnail.

[vale wing]

Pay attention that url is keyword only

[latent harness]

so does this come in embed = disnake.Embed(...)

I'm using disnake btw

Pls help

[slate swan]

Its a method,not an attributr

[latent harness]

oooh ok. So what do i do

[nova vessel]

@group.command(name="remove_whitelist", description="Removes a user's whitelist")
async def remove_whitelist(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, gamertag: str, user_id: int):

How'd I make this so that I can both inputs are not required but at least one is?

[slate swan]

You add logic and respond with an error accordingly

[nova vessel]

Ah, so discord won't automatically assume that they are both required?

As that was my worry.

[shrewd apex]

it will if you don't provide a default

[nova vessel]

Ah, so how do I stop that from happening?

[naive briar]

Set default arguments

[nova vessel]

(P.s. thank you for helping me with the commands and everything a day or two ago as I do understand it really well know!)

[nova vessel]

As in:

gamertag: str = None

[naive briar]

Yes

guys is pycord/disnake better than discord.py, just a dumb question from me

[glad cradle]

ugh, such an hard topic

[robust fulcrum]

i don't see a reason to shift to any other but i wana know for my knowledge

[glad cradle]

this question reminds me the good ol' battles here to state the best library

[robust fulcrum]

i not mean best but wana know if disnake or pycord have any benefit over discord.py

[glad cradle]

what are you using currently?

[robust fulcrum]

not using but i have used discord.py before

[glad cradle]

ok so, pycord (objectively) has some big style issues and other problems, they implement a lot of things for you so it might seem easier but actually it restrict the possibility to handle certain things yourself

i don't think that i need to describe d.py, you used it before, it has some little design issues etc etc, but it's cool

and you can imagine disnake as d.py but with additional things, some things are designed better than d.py

now all of these descriptions are non-detailed and based on what i have heard (for pycord), what i have experienced myself (d.py, disnake), all of these are my opinions (just saying this to prevent someone from coming and start a battle)

i work a lot with disnake and my opinion is that it's better than d.py for app commands (Slash commands, message commands, etc...) and UI components

[robust fulcrum]

so it means disnake is discord.py + some other features?

[glad cradle]

well it's a fork of d.py so yes, but it's not a very right way to describe it

[robust fulcrum]

i guess i should try it and see

tysm for your opinion

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/962926502280839168.webp?size=60

[glad cradle]

probably someone else will come and share other opinions

[robust fulcrum]

btw i see that we can't have interaction and prefix commands together i guess in disnake

i guess ill try disnake some other day

[nova vessel]

Anyone got a reference guide I can use for keywords in discord.py?

Like for kicking, banning, adding roles, just something to reference from.

[glad cradle]

you mean hybrid commands? that was a choice of the mainteiners

with some extra logic you can make them

[glad cradle]

why don't you use the official docs?

no

well that is sad

[hushed galleon]

yes, interaction.followup returns an application webhook which will always give you a WebhookMessage object you can edit after you send your message
(the 15 minute token expiration still applies as usual) py class MyView(discord.ui.View): @discord.ui.button(label="A button") async def on_click(self, interaction, button): await interaction.response.send_message("Response") await interaction.edit_original_response(content="Edited response") message = await interaction.followup.send("Followup") await message.edit(content="Edited followup")

[final breach]

thx

[latent harness]

Why is that happening?

the user_exist isn't getting defined

[slate swan]

try reading it again

[latent harness]

oh

oh. Oof

sry!!

[latent harness]

Yeah So what I wanna do is the user should be able to delete his journey (basically delte user info row from database) if he has one. If he hasn't there would be message saying "you haven't started journey yet"

Here's the code. Pls tell me how do i change according to that:

[final iron]

Oh boy

You’re mixing code from a prefixed command, slash command and a discord.py fork

[latent harness]

i'm using disnake

and i'm fairly new

pls tell me how to fix this

@final iron

[shrewd apex]

not to mention a sync db

[latent harness]

Pls just could you tell me how to fix?

[latent harness]

And do this asw?

[shrewd apex]

even if i did u wouldn't understand unless i personally modify the code or spoonfeed u i can tell u whats wrong rest is upto u

• bot.command is prefix command so it has context not interaction
• u cannot send buttons like that u need to attach them to a view
• a synchronous database is blocking the main event loop

[latent harness]

Ohhk. I'll try doing something

[latent harness]

May i ask whats a view?

[shrewd apex]

!d disnake.ui.View

[unkempt canyon]

disnake.ui.View

class disnake.ui.View(*, timeout=180.0)```
Represents a UI view.

This object must be inherited to create a UI within Discord.

Alternatively, components can be handled with [`disnake.ui.ActionRow`](https://docs.disnake.dev/en/latest/api/ui.html#disnake.ui.ActionRow)s and event listeners for a more low-level approach. Relevant events are [`disnake.on_button_click()`](https://docs.disnake.dev/en/latest/api/events.html#disnake.on_button_click), [`disnake.on_dropdown()`](https://docs.disnake.dev/en/latest/api/events.html#disnake.on_dropdown), and the more generic [`disnake.on_message_interaction()`](https://docs.disnake.dev/en/latest/api/events.html#disnake.on_message_interaction).

[old frigate]

Hello

Can anyone help me with interactions.py?

Or does anyone even know interaction.py?

[unreal pilot]

💀

discord.py remains king

[sharp bay]

discord.py or js?

[old frigate]

should i switch?

[unreal pilot]

discord js is probably used more for the higher-end discord bots, but also C# is commonly used with .NET

discord.py is definitely compatible though, so dont worry about that

for discord frameworks in python, i just like discord.py the most as the support for it is big

[cunning briar]

what command u need to make a channel with custom name use ctx

or interaction anything

[proper cape]

So I made a python discord bot that responds to commands that start with "$" and I made a say command that has the command "$say [message]" which will say the message as the bot. But whenever the say command code structured like "Fun_Commands/say.py" it doesn't work. But when I have the exact same code, in the "main.py" file it works.

[final iron]

Define doesn’t work

[final iron]

You want to know how to make a text channel?

[proper cape]

What do you mean

@final iron what do you mean?

[final iron]

Saying something doesn’t work isn’t helpful. It tells us nothing about what actually happened, and what the output is. You’ve also shared no code

[proper cape]

import discord
from discord.ext import commands
import os
import json

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

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

async def say_message(ctx, *, message):
# Check if the command invoker has the "manage_messages" permission
if ctx.author.guild_permissions.manage_messages:
# Delete the original command message
await ctx.message.delete()

    # Create an embed with the original message and user information
    embed = discord.Embed(
        description=message,
        color=discord.Color.blue()  # You can customize the color
    )

    # Add the user's name and avatar to the embed
    embed.set_author(name=ctx.author.name, icon_url=ctx.author.avatar.url)

    # Load configuration from file
    config_file = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), 'config.json')
    with open(config_file, 'r') as f:
        config = json.load(f)

    channel_id = config.get('channel_id')  # Get channel ID from config

    print(f"Channel ID: {channel_id}")  # Debugging print

    # Get the channel using the channel ID
    channel = bot.get_channel(channel_id)

    if channel and isinstance(channel, discord.TextChannel):
        try:
            # Send the embed
            await channel.send(embed=embed)
        except discord.HTTPException as e:
            await ctx.send(f"Error sending embed: {e}")
    else:
        await ctx.send('Error: Unable to find or send to the specified channel.')

    # Send the plain text message to the current channel
    await ctx.send(message)

Yes, and the indentation was wrong

Repaste it with the correct indentation

Add a print statement inside the if scope to be sure

yeah

!d discord.Guild.create_text_channel

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.create\_text\_channel

await create_text_channel(name, *, reason=None, category=None, news=False, position=..., topic=..., slowmode_delay=..., nsfw=..., overwrites=..., ...)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Creates a [`TextChannel`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.TextChannel) for the guild.

Note that you must have [`manage_channels`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Permissions.manage_channels) to create the channel.

The `overwrites` parameter can be used to create a ‘secret’ channel upon creation. This parameter expects a [`dict`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#dict) of overwrites with the target (either a [`Member`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Member) or a [`Role`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Role)) as the key and a [`PermissionOverwrite`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.PermissionOverwrite) as the value.

Note

Creating a channel of a specified position will not update the position of other channels to follow suit. A follow-up call to [`edit()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.TextChannel.edit) will be required to update the position of the channel in the channel list...

[cunning briar]

say both i need to learn abt making channels

[final iron]

This would create a text channel in the guild the command was invoked in

Context.guild will return the Guild instance

!d discord.TextChannel.clone

[unkempt canyon]

discord.TextChannel.clone

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

Clones this channel. This creates a channel with the same properties as this channel.

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

New in version 1.1.

[final iron]

That'll clone the channel the command was invoked with

[cunning briar]

ohhh

i got it

[final iron]

You can get the TextChannel instance with Context.channel

[final iron]

What specifcally are you trying to learn?

imo they're pretty simple. The only thing that I see people trip on is the overwrites

channels but now i know how

[magic granite]

Is there a way to enable community through discord.py or the guild owner has to enable it themselves?

[hushed galleon]

apparently it can
https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html#discord.Guild.edit

community (bool) – Whether the guild should be a Community guild. If set to True, both rules_channel and public_updates_channel parameters are required.
https://discord.com/developers/docs/resources/guild#modify-guild
Attempting to add or remove the COMMUNITY guild feature requires the ADMINISTRATOR permission.

!d discord.app_commands.checks.cooldown

[unkempt canyon]

discord.app\_commands.checks.cooldown

@discord.app_commands.checks.cooldown(rate, per, *, key=...)```
A decorator that adds a cooldown to a command.

A cooldown allows a command to only be used a specific amount of times in a specific time frame. These cooldowns are based off of the `key` function provided. If a `key` is not provided then it defaults to a user-level cooldown. The `key` function must take a single parameter, the [`discord.Interaction`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.Interaction) and return a value that is used as a key to the internal cooldown mapping.

The `key` function can optionally be a coroutine.

If a cooldown is triggered, then [`CommandOnCooldown`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.CommandOnCooldown) is raised to the error handlers.

Examples

Setting a one per 5 seconds per member cooldown on a command:

Does anyone have a tutorial available for how to setup a Discord bot for multiple servers?

Like Dyno for example, how to get it so that the bot is ready to be setup in multiple servers.

[naive briar]

I'm not sure if I understand what you mean

[sick birch]

there is nothing special you have to do

use the invite link to invite bots to any servers you want to

[hushed galleon]

like in the context of making sure your features can be configured by different guilds and work independently? that's where your database design is important, making sure your tables can uniquely associate data/settings for each guild where appropriate (for example, you might have an automod_config table that uses (guild_id) as its primary key and the rest of the columns are settings for that guild's automod, or you might have an inventory table that uses (guild_id, user_id, item_id) to uniquely identify each item a user has for a particular guild)

and of course replacing any hardcoded guild/channel/role IDs with database queries

[nova vessel]

Yeh, I'll need to as it'll be for managing their game server so they may have different paths for stuff.

[slim stream]

hello guys, I need a bot for discord to open/close timeouts on pd

[final iron]

What’s pd

[slim stream]

police department

[final iron]

We’re gonna need more context on what you’re trying to do

open/close timeouts on police department is very vague

And personally I have no clue what that means

[patent lark]

😂😂

[slim stream]

whait

[patent lark]

what

[slate swan]

what

[patent lark]

how do you expect us to help you? we have NO idea what you’re talking about

[slim stream]

I need a bot for discord that can start my timer and calculate it while playing on a fivem sv e.g.:/clocking clock in/, clock out to see how much I played in pd on that sv

[patent lark]

Okay so this is fivem

[patent lark]

So you can’t just come in here and say this and expect us to understand what you mean. I don’t really even understand what made you think we would understand what you want.

[slim stream]

it's very simple to understand

I would send a video but I can't

[final iron]

It’s not. You instantly assumed you knew what you meant by open/close timeouts, what a PD is, what a sv is

[slim stream]

fivem sever

[final iron]

I still don’t know how this clocking in/out occurs. You’re leaving out a lot of necessary context

[uneven pollen]

is it possible to use logging for your own debugging? i tried

async def ping(ctx):
    logging.info("Ping command called")
    await ctx.send("Pong!")

but it doesn't work. i added a basic log handler but i dont see my output in it

[shrewd apex]

yah

make a custom logger

[patent hull]

import logging

logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)

...

@bot.command()
async def ping(ctx):
    logger.info("Ping command called")
    await ctx.send("Pong!")

async def on_scheduled_event_create(event):
    await event.cancel(reason='womp womp')
    print('event was cancelled.')

so this code works ^^^

the thing is, i wanna make the creator of the event get dmed by the bot.

(I did research, no results that helped.)

discord.Member.send

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

Sends a message to the destination with the content given.

The content must be a type that can convert to a string through `str(content)`. If the content is set to `None` (the default), then the `embed` parameter must be provided.

To upload a single file, the `file` parameter should be used with a single [`File`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.File) object. To upload multiple files, the `files` parameter should be used with a [`list`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#list) of [`File`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.File) objects. **Specifying both parameters will lead to an exception**.

To upload a single embed, the `embed` parameter should be used with a single [`Embed`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Embed) object. To upload multiple embeds, the `embeds` parameter should be used with a [`list`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#list) of [`Embed`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Embed) objects. **Specifying both parameters will lead to an exception**.

What do you mean specifically? Dave isn't a library so it doesn't make too much sense to have documentation

[grand sleet]

I mean generally set up instructions, I saw the readme bit, was wondering if there’s anything else or if that’s all you need, and usage stuff

[sick birch]

Ah you're trying to self host Dave?

[grand sleet]

Purely out of curiosity yes

[sick birch]

README should have all the setup instructions

knowing how to configure prom and grafana will also help

[grand sleet]

I’ve seen tutorials and documentation so rough idea, stuff is always more fun when you have zero idea what your doing

Seeing as I’m unfamiliar with the technologies, I was just curious as to weather any further explanations existed

[languid sequoia]

Does discord.py have native slash command support?

[grand sleet]

Yup

YouTube has plenty of good tutorials

So do their docs

[languid sequoia]

Alright

Is it as simple as setting the command_prefix to /

Or is it more complicated

[grand sleet]

Unfortunately not, you need to use a different thing to declare them(app_commands instead of ext.commands), and also has a thing called a tree and syncing

Ngl don’t fully understand myself but to just get it working fairly easy

Lemme find an example for ya

[languid sequoia]

Alright thank you

[final iron]

No it doesn’t

All the tutorials have issues, and even if they didn’t they’re fundamentally flawed

[grand sleet]

There’s always an issue with something, and there’re a good resource to learn the basics imo

[final iron]

First statement is false. There are many written tutorials that don’t have issues

[grand sleet]

I mean on a nitpick level, if you try hard enough there’s gonna be some “issue” but text tutorials are more comprehensive normally yes

[final iron]

Video tutorials have major issues though. Not small ones

[grand sleet]

Depends on the tutorial

[final iron]

Send one you think is good

[grand sleet]

Though even with issues they can still be a good starting point for basics

[final iron]

I have never seen a good, up to date YouTube tutorial

If you point a beginner in the wrong direction they will continually follow it. Good tutorials are especially important for beginners as it builds the foundation for their bot

Only good video tutorial I’ve ever seen was pre v2

[shrewd fjord]

I know a good tutorial for beginners,, chatgpt 💀 learn python using !resources

[shrewd fjord]

There is some good tutorial still iirc, like glowstik and some other

[shrewd fjord]

But yeah some video of him has some problem but he updated those in this latest videos

[languid sequoia]

I am creating a bot for a game that is relatively small, for this bot I need to store usernames in a variable that will be used to do console commands in game . My question is, how can I store user input into a variable with discord commands?

[shrewd fjord]

You need a global variable for that, but i suggest use a database, but since its small you can use json

[languid sequoia]

When I say small I mean like a million people play that game

[naive briar]

Cute

[agile berry]

I have created a discord bot, I don't know how to code, so can someone help please?

I want to send a text file and the bot will decode it and send me the file. @naive briar @languid sequoia @shrewd fjord

[naive briar]

Please don't ping random people; just ask your question and someone will (probably) come by to answer it

[languid sequoia]

I’ll be honest I probably know less about coding than you, I started learning Python less than 2 weeks ago.

I am the last person you should ask about coding help

[final iron]

What are you trying to decode?

[agile berry]

Binary numbers to hax decimal

f.write(arr) @final iron

@grand sleet

[slate swan]

Not really sure what your use case is nor how much Python you know (you mentioned you started recently) but you'll probably want to use a database file to store such information

I'd recommend learning SQL and becoming familiar with the sqlite3 standard library module

[agile berry]

@slate swan plz help me brother

[slate swan]

What with

[agile berry]

I have created a discord bot, I don't know how to code, I want to send a text file and the bot will decode it and send me the file.

import sys

arr = bytearray()
with open(sys.argv[1], "rb") as f:
for b in f:
arr += bytearray(b)
for i in range(len(arr)):
arr[i] = ~arr[i] + 256

with open(sys.argv[1], "wb") as f:
f.write(arr)

[slate swan]

You won't be able to do anything with your bot if you don't know how to code at all

[agile berry]

Brother just give me the code and I can apply please.

[slate swan]

Sorry but we don't spoon feed code here, and I don't know what you mean by "decode".

[agile berry]

Like I send Text file than bot decode my text file and send me

[slate swan]

You'll need to learn stuff like data types, control flow, functions and some OOP before you even begin making a bot

how do I get a discord bot to respond more than once to a slash command?

[shrewd apex]

followup and send or edit the original response https://fallendeity.github.io/discord.py-masterclass/slash-commands/

[robust fulcrum]

guys i have a slash command called ping, i want a decorator which gets description and name of command, how can i do that, its a decorator question, but ok

[naive briar]

What?

[vale wing]

Decorator sets description and name of command

To get description, you need to get the command object

Nothing to do with decorator

[robust fulcrum]

I was just thinking of a decorator with which I can decorate my commands and generate help command from that

[vale wing]

I'm pretty sure standard command decorator has the description kwarg. Also you can just add a docstring to your command function, it will be converted to description

[robust fulcrum]

No, I want something which can get me all slash commands of my bot with their titles and descriptions

[rugged shadow]

is this for a help command?

[robust fulcrum]

Yep

[rugged shadow]

do you really need one for a slash command bot

discord already kinda provides that for you

[robust fulcrum]

I want a help command though for a clean interface

The discord one lags pretty well

[rugged shadow]

what library are you using?

[robust fulcrum]

Dpy ⭐

[rugged shadow]

i think you might be able to do something with your command tree

bot.tree.get_commands()

or walk_commands, you're probably gonna do it in a for loop anyway

!d discord.app_commands.CommandTree.walk_commands

[unkempt canyon]

discord.app\_commands.CommandTree.walk\_commands

for ... in walk_commands(*, guild=None, type=<AppCommandType.chat_input: 1>)```
An iterator that recursively walks through all application commands and child commands from the tree.

[torpid birch]

Hi, how to get the message.content of a webhook? I tried doing this but I got a white space.

[novel berry]

@bot.event
async def on_member_join():
await

I want to send a message to say welcome on a join.

[final iron]

What are you asking for help with specifically?

[novel berry]

I want to find a chanell and send a message in it

[final iron]

A specific channel, or a random one?

[novel berry]

A specific : )

[final iron]

You can use

!d discord.Client.get_channel if it’s in the cache, or if you have the ID

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Client.get\_channel

get_channel(id, /)```
Returns a channel or thread with the given ID.

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

[final iron]

If you want to search by name you can use discord.utils.get and pass in the guilds channels as the iterable

[final iron]

Do you have the message_content intent?

[novel berry]

where do i put it?

[final iron]

You’ll create a listener for the on_member_join event, and put it in the function

Do you know how to send messages to a channel?

[novel berry]

no

[final iron]

!d discord.TextChannel.send

[unkempt canyon]

discord.TextChannel.send

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

Sends a message to the destination with the content given.

The content must be a type that can convert to a string through `str(content)`. If the content is set to `None` (the default), then the `embed` parameter must be provided.

To upload a single file, the `file` parameter should be used with a single [`File`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.File) object. To upload multiple files, the `files` parameter should be used with a [`list`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#list) of [`File`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.File) objects. **Specifying both parameters will lead to an exception**.

To upload a single embed, the `embed` parameter should be used with a single [`Embed`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Embed) object. To upload multiple embeds, the `embeds` parameter should be used with a [`list`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#list) of [`Embed`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Embed) objects. **Specifying both parameters will lead to an exception**.

[novel berry]

@bot.event
async def on_member_join():
welcome_channel = bot.get_channel(0) # replace 0 with channel id
await welcome_channel.send("Your message")

how do i get the id

[final iron]

You can use

!d discord.utils.get to get a TextChannel object

[unkempt canyon]

discord.utils.get

discord.utils.get(iterable, /, **attrs)```
A helper that returns the first element in the iterable that meets all the traits passed in `attrs`. This is an alternative for [`find()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.utils.find).

When multiple attributes are specified, they are checked using logical AND, not logical OR. Meaning they have to meet every attribute passed in and not one of them.

To have a nested attribute search (i.e. search by `x.y`) then pass in `x__y` as the keyword argument.

If nothing is found that matches the attributes passed, then `None` is returned.

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

Changed in version 2.0: The `iterable` parameter supports [asynchronous iterable](https://docs.python.org/3/glossary.html#term-asynchronous-iterable)s...

[novel berry]

How to find the id of a chanell

[final iron]

Are you asking how to get it pythonically or through discord itself?

[novel berry]

yes!

[final iron]

It’s not a yes or no question lol

[novel berry]

discord

[final iron]

Discord definitely has a page on this

[novel berry]

where?

[final iron]

Google

[final iron]

You need to specify discord

[novel berry]

it said right click and press copy id but i dont find it

[final iron]

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Discord_channel#:~:text=To get the channel%2Fserver,to get the guild ID.

First result on Google

[novel berry]

where is advansed developer setting?

[final iron]

It’s a setting

[novel berry]

i dont find it

[hushed galleon]

user settings > advanced > developer mode

[novel berry]

Thanks

like this?

[novel berry]

the box is so i dont show my bot token!

[hushed galleon]

you shouldnt hardcode your token if its on replit, especially a public one

[novel berry]

how do i hide it?

[fringe void]

how are you hosting the bot btw?

[hushed galleon]

open the secrets menu on the bottom left, read the article that it links to, and then move your token into a secret following their explanation

[novel berry]

i dont

[hushed galleon]

also consider resetting your token regardless, since its already been exposed

[novel berry]

how?!?!?!?

[fringe void]

in ur discord developer portal

[hushed galleon]

https://discord.com/developers/applications
open your application, go to bot tab, regenerate your token

[novel berry]

ok thanks!

but does this work?

[hushed galleon]

you leaked your token again...

[novel berry]

no its the old one

or i havent replaced it

[hushed galleon]

ah that would make sense, gateway exit code 4004 means authentication failed
https://discord.com/developers/docs/topics/opcodes-and-status-codes#gateway

btw are you using sharex? they have tools to blur/pixelate/smart erase part of your screenshot instead of having to freehand crop it

[novel berry]

but where do i put the token so no one see it

i dont have that

i do windoes + shift + s

[final iron]

A .env file

[novel berry]

like this?

[hushed galleon]

see https://docs.replit.com/programming-ide/workspace-features/secrets, same link you would have found from the secrets menu

[torpid birch]

Yes I've set it true and also check it works.

But some message which contains webhooks, it doesn't pick it.

Can I send the kind of message?

[hushed galleon]

as in the message was sent by a webhook? what does it look like? empty content can also mean the webhook sent something else like an embed or attachment, without any content

[novel berry]

like this?

[torpid birch]

This sent by karuta bot

I think it's webhooks not sure

[hushed galleon]

judging from the checkmark that's a bot account, but either way that message has one embed

!d discord.Message.embeds

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message.embeds

A list of embeds the message has. 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.

[hushed galleon]

sure, now retrieve your token in your script using the os.getenv() function as described in the article

[torpid birch]

So embeds are usually img file? Or you can embed text also?

[hushed galleon]

er embeds can represent an image from a url, but the one shown in the screenshot is a rich embed

[hushed galleon]

python's output is also a rich embed

[vale wing]

I remember there was a nice pin with embed structure

Here

[torpid birch]

So that um, I don't have any work with that embedded image but with the text inside it

[hushed galleon]

you can see the embed attributes you can access in the docs, and the reply to chili's message is how those attributes get rendered on discord

!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...

[torpid birch]

Okay I'll check this tomorrow, it's night now
Thanks for helping

[nova vessel]

Do you know if there are any tutorials for this?

[nova vessel]

Have you got any examples as it would be setup for a fee of sorts to access certain features.

(Didn't mean to do twice, been up for ages 🤣)

[slate swan]

Hi, I need help. My Google colab not can install !pip install chatterbot, Does anyone have the same problem?

[hushed galleon]

maybe you can find some source code, but anything that's complex usually has to be designed by hand using what you already know

[burnt idol]

F strimg formating for embeds.description is not working like f'{x:<18}' it just prints without extra spaces for some reason
Result should be
Var1. 6
V2. 7
See the space between should be equal but it isent
Any idea y

[hushed galleon]

can you paste the actual output from your bot? if you didn't use code blocks, the text will be very difficult to align using spaces because the discord font isn't monospaced

[burnt idol]

Yee i just got same idea from someone else ill try code blocks

[languid sequoia]

I have two different files for my discord bot that work in different ways, is it possible to run both files at the same time and have everything work as if it was one?

[sick birch]

If they're completely different, you can simply run them separately

python file1.py
python file2.py

[languid sequoia]

One uses the @bot.command function and the other uses if.message.starts.with() function.

Not sure how different that is

[sick birch]

Do the bots need to communicate with each other?

You can do this method if theyr'e independant

[languid sequoia]

Wdym?

They are independent

If I understand what you’re saying

[sick birch]

yeah in that case you can just do this

[languid sequoia]

So do I just copy and paste that at the top of both the files with the file name instead of file1/file2?

@sick birch

[sick birch]

no it's bash

you'd just run them separately

[languid sequoia]

Alright

[latent pier]

I was wondering if client.wait_('button_clicked', ) still works because i can't find it in docs

[naive briar]

Have it ever worked is the real question

There's no such events as that

[latent pier]

I've seen it in past some example codes but not sure if it's practical or not

[sick birch]

There has never been such an event

[latent pier]

Oh okay

[hushed galleon]

a similar event does exist in disnake, if thats what you're referring to (though its called button_click there)
https://docs.disnake.dev/en/stable/api/events.html#disnake.on_button_click

[latent pier]

Thanks

[cold oyster]

hey anybody here can test my bot pls?

Not mine completly but its a team

(dm)

Also need some help for it, Testing it on a seprate bot, Here is the paste:
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/KYGA

[languid sequoia]

Does discord.Embed work when doing commands that use if.message.starts.with()?

[fast musk]

sure?

heh, I once did a fiverr project to identify pictures of pokemon

it was fun

[final iron]

Like, can you send an embed, or are you checking for a string inside the embed

[languid sequoia]

Sending embeds, I’ve been having troubles doing it with that method

Also, is it possible to change the value of a variable depending on what guild the bot is in?

[final iron]

What does startswith have to do with embeds? startswith is a string method

[languid sequoia]

Idk, I just thought I would make sure that the way I’m doing it will work

[final iron]

Generally, if you have an abc.Messageable you can send embeds to it

[languid sequoia]

In my specific case, I’m working on a bot for a VR game, I also need to have a specific server ID for doing console commands in that game. However, including a server Id in a discord command is not desirable as it takes a bit of time to get. I want to store server ids in a variable that changes based on what discord you are in which would remove the need to have it in a discord command.

[languid sequoia]

Alright

[final iron]

I’d just use a simple SQL database for that

By server IDs, you mean the VR server IDs right

Not Discord guild ones

[languid sequoia]

For in game servers yes. I want to be able to input server ids personally though, the bot will be private.

[final iron]

Yeah, so id just setup a database for that, but if its private and only a couple you could just use a dict to simply it

Guild ID as the key, in game server as the value

[languid sequoia]

Alright thanks

[latent pier]

How can i check the voice channel's limit?

[naive briar]

!d discord.VoiceChannel.user_limit

[unkempt canyon]

discord.VoiceChannel.user\_limit

The channel’s limit for number of members that can be in a voice channel.

[latent pier]

Thanks

[robust fulcrum]

guys how can i make my discord.py sync commands when a new command gets automatically, i have cog watcher which reloads cogs on update in file, so i want my bot to sync when command sget added?

[vale wing]

Just use disnake it has that functionality ☺️

[latent pier]

bot.tree.sync() you mean 👀

[robust fulcrum]

i have now sync commands on every file change in my watcher which will slow my app 💀

[vale wing]

You need smart sync

[robust fulcrum]

what\

[vale wing]

Like check the changes in commands

That's what disnake does!

Use disnake 🗣️

[latent pier]

🫠

[robust fulcrum]

you mean i check for change in self.tree.commands?

[vale wing]

We don't have tree in disnake

It's much better

[robust fulcrum]

idk disnake , i have exp with dpy

i was thinking to try disnake

[vale wing]

It's all automated and smart

[latent pier]

PR for disnake

[robust fulcrum]

maybe ill make my next discord bot with disnake

[vale wing]

Try it and you won't want to switch back to dpy ever!

[latent pier]

Anyways

[robust fulcrum]

but i found something missing that idk how to make bybrid commands in disnake

[vale wing]

Who needs hybrid commands 😒

[robust fulcrum]

i need i guess

[vale wing]

Anyways you can do them with double decorator

Or custom decorator

[robust fulcrum]

but tbh slash commands are slow

what do you think, we should focus onmaking slash or prefix commands?

[latent pier]

[vale wing]

If your bot doesn't need messages content slash is the only option

[latent pier]

Bro is dedicated

[vale wing]

Also slash provide better input filtering imho

[latent pier]

Kinda annoying

[vale wing]

Waiting for discord to add datetime selector tho

[robust fulcrum]

but we can't reply to commands while using slash cmds

[vale wing]

Message commands

[robust fulcrum]

what

you mean prefix commands?

i am confused tbh

[vale wing]

You on pc?

[robust fulcrum]

ye

[vale wing]

Click message options and see apps

Those are message commands

Aka context menus

There's bookmark for example

[robust fulcrum]

oh you mean apps?

[vale wing]

Ye

[robust fulcrum]

kk

ty for helpi guess i should give disnake a try

but i hate the sphinx designs which their docs have

[vale wing]

Uh doesn't dpy use sphynx for docs as well

[robust fulcrum]

yei mean for both

btw do disnake also have hot reload for cogs?

[proud basalt]

i guess it does

[robust fulcrum]

no i guess

[proud basalt]

?

[proud basalt]

it does

[robust fulcrum]

i mean hot reload

[proud basalt]

wut i that

is*

https://github.com/robertwayne/cogwatch check this out

[robust fulcrum]

i made my own , no need

[proud basalt]

cool

you can put them to reload every x amount of time in a bg task tb

nextcord - Print out the AUTOCOMPLETE option selected by the user (not after invoking the command)

[storm thorn]

hello!

my forum post was deleted and i don really know why

[naive briar]

It's just locked: https://discord.com/channels/267624335836053506/1179681291596214292

[storm thorn]

oh

so people can help me even if its blocked?

i mean, this was the message i recieved

[shrewd apex]

disnake does

if u want smart sync in dpy u would have to make it urself

[robust fulcrum]

Oh

[shrewd apex]

u need to track slash commands and their relative data such as description parameters etc

[robust fulcrum]

That's easy I guess , I need to just sync commands on change?

[shrewd apex]

yeah u would have records preferably along with some sort of timestamp and keep a track to sync

[robust fulcrum]

Don't i just sync all commands to guilds?

[shrewd apex]

initially yes then further on only when some changes need syncing

[robust fulcrum]

How will I know if it needs syncing?

[shrewd apex]

When to Sync

• When you add a new command.
• When you remove a command.
• When a command's name or description changes.
• When the callback's parameters change.
• This includes parameter names, types or descriptions.
• If you change a global to a guild command, or vice versa.
  • NOTE: If you do this, you will need to sync both global and to that guild to reflect the change.

[robust fulcrum]

No I mean how will my bot know if it needs to sync?

[shrewd apex]

u need to manually keep track

[merry sleet]

nextcord - Print out the AUTOCOMPLETE option selected by the user (not after invoking the command)

[robust fulcrum]

Hmm

[merry sleet]

Any idea how?

[shrewd apex]

in the autocomplete function itself u get the current user input

[robust fulcrum]

So initially I make a list of registered commands?

[shrewd apex]

yeah

[merry sleet]

I meant after selecting an option from Autocomplete

[robust fulcrum]

Is there a event for knowing if a command is not registered?

[shrewd apex]

yeah autocomplete is triggered whenever there is an input in the field so once u the user picks the option it should trigger

[merry sleet]

yeah thats fine the thing is, it passes a nextcord.Member object as a string

[shrewd apex]

!d bot.tree.sync u can get it from the initially synced commands

[merry sleet]

which is annoying

[shrewd apex]

eh well u get the idea sync returns a list of synced commands

[robust fulcrum]

Like if I have a list of registered commands , and if I add a new command in my cogs and my watcher reloads the cog , so my bot is not going to know if I have added a new command

[merry sleet]

oh well

[shrewd apex]

thats internally converted by user converters

[merry sleet]

passed of as None though?

[shrewd apex]

u need to check if the command was registered or not

thats why i said sync gives a list of registered commands

[merry sleet]

when I take the inputs from an autocomplete, when I print user, instead of a Member object its a str...

[robust fulcrum]

I guess you not getting what i mean

[shrewd apex]

is it None or is it str?

[merry sleet]

mb its just Str

[shrewd apex]

whats the str? like the value?

[merry sleet]

yeah

wait ima send the code in a block 1 sec

[robust fulcrum]

So I will get a list of registered command initially, for example: I add a new command in my cog , my bot won't know it was added , how should I fix that?

[shrewd apex]

bruh u have inital commands and now when reloading load the commands from that cog then match

[merry sleet]

     @slash_command(name="remove_log",description="Remove a logged Moderation action.",guild_ids=attributes.TESTSERVER,default_member_permissions=(nextcord.Permissions(administrator=True)))
        async def remove_log(self,interaction:nextcord.Interaction,user:nextcord.Member, action, reason):
            print("Remove log")
            # the main code

        
        
        @remove_log.on_autocomplete("reason")
        async def remove_log_type_auto(self,interaction:nextcord.Interaction,user:nextcord.Member,action):
                
            print(action)
            await interaction.response.send_autocomplete(ModLogs.find_one({"guildId":interaction.guild.id,"modHistory":{"$elemMatch":{"$eq":user.id}}}))

err

  await interaction.response.send_autocomplete(ModLogs.find_one({"guildId":interaction.guild.id,"modHistory":{"$elemMatch":{"$eq":user.id}}}))
AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'id'

[shrewd apex]

print(user) once whats the value

[merry sleet]

print(f"user returns '{user}'") doing that

[robust fulcrum]

Ye that's my point , I don't know how do I get commands from a cog

[shrewd apex]

!d discord.ext.commands.Cog.get_app_commands

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Cog.get\_app\_commands

get_app_commands()```
Returns the app commands that are defined inside this cog.

[robust fulcrum]

Oh k

[merry sleet]

user returns ''

[robust fulcrum]

Ty

[shrewd apex]

try typing some stuff in there

[merry sleet]

Well I did that. It did a nextcord.Member onject

as in,

[shrewd apex]

hmm wait lemme try

[merry sleet]

mhm

take your time

[shrewd apex]

wait a sec just checked on laptop here ur autocomplete is for reason right?

user dont have autocomplete

its only strings and numbers

[naive briar]

Numbers?

[shrewd apex]

ints and floats

[merry sleet]

yeah

I need it for reason but I need the value from user

[shrewd apex]

u cant tho

[merry sleet]

Which btw, is passed because if I check active, it prints Kick

[merry sleet]

I confirmed with this

[shrewd apex]

hmmm

[robust fulcrum]

Btw do I need to import the cog dynamically in my watcher to do this?

[shrewd apex]

!d discord.app_commands.CommandTree.walk_commands

[unkempt canyon]

discord.app\_commands.CommandTree.walk\_commands

for ... in walk_commands(*, guild=None, type=<AppCommandType.chat_input: 1>)```
An iterator that recursively walks through all application commands and child commands from the tree.

[merry sleet]

Sooo

any idea?

[shrewd apex]

not sure about nextcord but there dosent seem to be a way to get autocomplete option for users cause it cannot be registered since options are provided by discord and not the bot

[merry sleet]

[sharp whale]

what

what do you mean by global slash command error event

[robust fulcrum]

a slash command error event

[sharp whale]

yes

there is

I think

all the errors are under the discord.app_commands class

for example

!d discord.app_commands.MissingAnyRole

[unkempt canyon]

discord.app\_commands.MissingAnyRole

exception discord.app_commands.MissingAnyRole(missing_roles)```
An exception raised when the command invoker lacks any of the roles specified to run a command.

This inherits from [`CheckFailure`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.CheckFailure).

New in version 2.0.

[robust fulcrum]

no like an event in bot.listen

[sharp whale]

@function.error

[naive briar]

There's no such event

!d discord.app_commands.CommandTree.error but this

[unkempt canyon]

discord.app\_commands.CommandTree.error

@error(coro)```
A decorator that registers a coroutine as a local error handler.

This must match the signature of the [`on_error()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.CommandTree.on_error) callback.

The error passed will be derived from [`AppCommandError`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.AppCommandError).

[sharp whale]

catlover

you're finally here

[sharp whale]

Here's the function

[robust fulcrum]

no error gets raised even my command not works in my bot, idk why thats why i finding a slash command error event

[sharp whale]

slash commands raise errors

are you using a logging system?

[robust fulcrum]

i guess this is due to i have diabled discord.py's logging

[sharp whale]

bruh

[sharp whale]

help me someone

[slate swan]

Hi, I need help. My Google colab not can install !pip install chatterbot, Does anyone have the same problem?

[final iron]

Set it up

[cunning briar]

class MyView(View):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()

    @discord.ui.button(label='Click me', style=discord.ButtonStyle.green)
    async def mybutton(self, button: discord.ui.Button, interaction: discord.Interaction):
        await interaction.response.send_message("hi")

@bot.command()
async def button(ctx):
    view = MyView()
    await ctx.send("Here's a button:", view=view)
``` why it says failed when i click the button

[final iron]

button and interaction should be swapped

Though, this should've given an error so if it didn't I would enable logging

[cunning briar]

oh

thx it works now

self botting is against discord TOS

[urban wren]

who's talking about self bot

is it because i have the self version ?

[final iron]

discord.py-self...

[urban wren]

i can't host it now i'm debugging it

on my pc

[final iron]

Okay, but you're using discord.py-self which is for self bots

If you're not self botting uninstall it, and install discord.py

[urban wren]

okay thanks 🙂

[final iron]

FYI self botting is against discords TOS and will get your account terminated

It's strictly disallowed

[urban wren]

yes it got banned years ago

but why i'm getting error now on the code

[final iron]

Are you using a user or bot account?

[urban wren]

i changed it to a user

[final iron]

It's against the servers TOS, and Discord's so we cannot help with that

[urban wren]

thanks pep < 3

[sturdy dragon]

guys Im looking for a library with a decent autocomplete feature for interactions, im having a lot of trouble with discord.py for this

[golden portal]

what are you having trouble with in d.py for autocomplete?

just return a list of Choice object

[sturdy dragon]

let me just load up vscode and see where I got to @golden portal

thx btw

so for example @golden portal Ive made a discord integration for grafana to display dashboards and panels through their render api, heres a command to pull a panel by name @grafana.command(name="panel", description="Display a Grafana panel") async def grafana_panel(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, panel_name: str): """ Display a Grafana panel Usage: /grafana panel [panel_name] """ print("Command invoked: grafana_panel") # Debug print if interaction.response.is_done(): pass return await interaction.response.defer() # Defer the response print("Interaction response deferred") # Debug print try: print(f"Fetching panel: {panel_name}") # Debug print panel_data = await self.fetch_rendered_panel(panel_name) if panel_data: print(f"Panel data fetched for {panel_name}") # Debug print await interaction.followup.send(file=panel_data) self.logger.info(f"Panel {panel_name} sent to {interaction.user.name}") else: print("Failed to fetch panel data") # Debug print await interaction.followup.send("Failed to fetch the panel.") except Exception as e: self.logger.error(f"Error fetching panel: {e}") print(f"Exception occurred: {e}") # Debug print await interaction.followup.send("An error occurred while fetching the panel.")

oops messed up the py formatter

do I just define the choices in the decorator itself?

[final iron]

!d discord.app_commands.autocomplete

[unkempt canyon]

discord.app\_commands.autocomplete

@discord.app_commands.autocomplete(**parameters)```
Associates the given parameters with the given autocomplete callback.

Autocomplete is only supported on types that have [`str`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#str), [`int`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#int), or [`float`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#float) values.

[`Checks`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.check) are supported, however they must be attached to the autocomplete callback in order to work. Checks attached to the command are ignored when invoking the autocomplete callback.

For more information, see the [`Command.autocomplete()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.Command.autocomplete) documentation.

Warning

The choices returned from this coroutine are suggestions. The user may ignore them and input their own value...

[sturdy dragon]

like @grafana.command(name="panel", description="Display a Grafana panel", options=" " ?

[drifting arrow]

Oh

[final iron]

No

[drifting arrow]

🤔

lessee how autocomplete works

Oh. this is the choices stuff

[final iron]

You can view an example here

The gist is that it returns a list of app_commands.Choice()

[sturdy dragon]

thank you

[drifting arrow]

Fun stuff once you get it working.

[sturdy dragon]

yeah im eager to

[drifting arrow]

Fun fun stuff. Took me a while to get it working how I wanted, but once you do.

[sturdy dragon]

lets see if I can get this goijn

[drifting arrow]

If you can't, lemme know, I can give you some example code.

[sturdy dragon]

ive been hella confused by the libraries.. I was discord.py then pycord then interactions and then I just didnt know what I was working with anymore for a bit

so im just doing discord.py

[sturdy dragon]

many thanks

so I can just pull the list of choices from anywhere really

as long as its in an accessible namespace

?

[drifting arrow]

Pretty much

I pull mine from a json file.

[sturdy dragon]

because im parsing the panel names from some json modal

^^^

[drifting arrow]

You can even do dynamic, but that's harder to do and it can be slower

[sturdy dragon]

yeah I gotta look into that

[final iron]

That's how python works, yes

[sturdy dragon]

hey I got more dumb questions buddy buckle up

[drifting arrow]

There's a limit to how many choices you can have, so if you exceed you need to update the list.
The horrors of figuring that out.

[drifting arrow]

LOL

[final iron]

Only 25 choices can be displayed at a time

[drifting arrow]

Yes. But you can do it dynamically

so while you have a limit of 25 u can setup different sets

based on what u want

[drifting arrow]

    async def autocomplete(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, current: str) -> List[app_commands.Choice[str]]:
        choices = []
        for item in self.items_list:
            choices.append(self.items_list[item]['name'])
        if current:
            choicelist = []
            for choice in choices:
                if current.lower() in choice.lower():
                    choicelist.append(choice)
                if len(choicelist) > 20:
                    break
            return [app_commands.Choice(name=c, value=c) for c in choicelist]
        else:
            default = choices[:25]
            default = ["Start typing an item name!"]
            return [app_commands.Choice(name=d, value=d) for d in default]
``` this is my solution. So as you type it'll populate the list based on what you type. my list is a few hundred long

[sturdy dragon]

thank you

where am I importing List from

[drifting arrow]

!paste

[final iron]

        choices = []
        for item in self.items_list:
            choices.append(self.items_list[item]['name'])
        if current:
            choicelist = []
            for choice in choices:
                if current.lower() in choice.lower():
                    choicelist.append(choice)
                if len(choicelist) > 20:
                    break
            return [app_commands.Choice(name=c, value=c) for c in choicelist]

This can all be simplified down into 1 list comp

[shrewd fjord]

Its weirdly complicated

[drifting arrow]

;o

[drifting arrow]

I like to do things weirdly.

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/EXLQ here's the entire file lol

[final iron]

default = choices[:25]
default = ["Start typing an item name!"]

This reassignment doesn't make any sense either

[drifting arrow]

We all make mistakes.

[final iron]

Just follow the example in the docs

The code given uses some bad practices that I wouldn't want you to model into your code

[drifting arrow]

I never said it was good code

[final iron]

List is imported from typing

It's just for type annotations

[sturdy dragon]

thank you

[final iron]

No, but when you're giving code, especially to beginners it's very important to ensure it follows good practices

I would really simplify it down into a list comp. It'll help readability a lot

[shrewd apex]

https://fallendeity.github.io/discord.py-masterclass/slash-commands/#autocomplete here is a small guide documenting most features of discord.py u should be able to find quite a few examples useful as a beginner

[shrewd fjord]

Asher be promoting harder

[shrewd apex]

i mean it is useful than going through multiple gists trying to put together stuff

[shrewd fjord]

[gray gyro]

Hi

You know Instagram ban account bot?

Are you looking for a bot?

[dim ruin]

Wrong Channel

You are not allowed to use that command here. Please use the #aoc-bot-commands, #sir-lancebot-playground, #bot-commands channel(s) instead.

[mossy jacinth]

Hello, I'm trying to fetch information of a Database to tell my bot to either Ban, kick or timeout the user that did something wrong but it ignores the whole if statement.

The code is here: https://paste.nextcord.dev/?id=1701401229604711

Inside the if statement are prints that are being skipped inside the "punishment first" and "punishment end".
The second screenshot is the data that got saved from my server which is being recalled inside the code that's provided

The expected behavior is that it just checks what's inside the "punish", so if its either "Ban", "Kick" or "Timeout" and then do the appropriate punishment to the user.

I hope someone can help me

[desert heart]

I suppose the value of punishment is not matching any of your equality checks. So what is the value of that variable when you are testing it?

[hushed galleon]

and what database library are you using? your second screenshot implies server-id is some numeric type, but you converted your member.guild.id to a string before passing it to .child() which seems odd

[mossy jacinth]

I don't really get what youre trying to tell me, sorry. But the value should be (in this situation) "Ban" and the if statement just checks if its either "Ban" "Kick" or "Timeout"

[mossy jacinth]

Im temporary using firebase because i was too lazy to link my real database with it and its my first time working with databases and discord bots in one

[desert heart]

Right, I am asking what the value is, not what the value should be. You can print the variable to see what the value is.

It would be good to have a catch all here to log any unexpected punishment types you encounter.

elif str(punishment) == "Timeout":
    ...
else:
    # maybe log the user_ref here too since the punishment seems specific to that object
    print(f"Unexpected punishment {punishment}")

[mossy jacinth]

Thanks I'll try that now, tried printing it but it just lists everything "({'punish': 'Ban', 'server-id': 917569655139348540, 'time': '10'}, 'gWYBqrqbKHH2KfdmtwPlCiWFyJY=') but basically it says the punishment is "Ban" so im maybe calling it wrong...

[desert heart]

You probably need something like ```py
punishment, _ = user_ref.get("punishment")

if punishment["punish"] == "Ban":
...```

Though that is sort of a guess since I am not familiar with your DB and what it returns besides the one example you just gave

[hushed galleon]

i can only guess that user_ref and punishment are both DocumentReferences, in which case this is the documentation for get()
if punishment shows there's a nested punish key, i would guess that what you actually meant to write was punishment = user_ref.get("punishment.punish")

[mossy jacinth]

That fixed it, thanks!

[hushed galleon]

is google documentation normally this difficult to understand, or is it just me?

[desert heart]

Funnily enough I was looking at DynamoDB docs today and was also not having a great time.

[shrewd apex]

definitely google

[vale wing]

Google docs are extremely annoying imo, especially when you do android app development

So not even for python but generally

I remember doing something with youtube API and heck I had to ask in their discord server about how to search properly

[acoustic kernel]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/6ABQ

Can someone help me, Im trying to build a command that allows players to sell resources from the shop. However whenever I run the command back to back without the first command ever running through a return, then the first commands response get overwritten into an insta-sell.

[vale wing]

Even compared to bobux bot's sell command code this looks very hardly readable

[robust fulcrum]

why i get this error in my button in dpy?

    raise NotFound(response, data)
discord.errors.NotFound: 404 Not Found (error code: 10062): Unknown interaction

    @discord.ui.button(emoji="🗑")
    async def delete(
        self, interaction: discord.Interaction, button: discord.ui.Button[HelpView]
    ) -> None:
        await interaction.delete_original_response()

[shrewd apex]

u need to respond to interaction or defer it

[robust fulcrum]

i have responsed inmy app command

    @app_commands.command(name="help", description="Help command")
    async def help(self, interaction: discord.Interaction) -> None:
        pages: dict[int, discord.Embed] = {
            i: Embed(title=f"Page {i}") for i in range(1, 5)
        }
        view = HelpView(interaction.user, pages)
        await interaction.response.send_message(
            embed=discord.Embed(
                title="Page1",
                color=discord.Color.blurple(),
            ),
            view=view,
        )

[shrewd apex]

not the command in the button

[robust fulcrum]

i fixed by defering
