[hot sparrow]

how do i get the embedded images in the button callback?

for src in results:
    emb=discord.Embed(title=f"cats", url=link, 
    description="catto", color=0x00ff00, timestamp=datetime.datetime.now())
    emb.set_author(name=interaction.user.name, icon_url=interaction.user.display_avatar)
    emb.set_footer(text=catFact)
    emb.set_image(url=src)
    embed_list.append(emb)
await DUMP_CHANNEL.send(embeds=embed_list, view=PosNegView())

[slate swan]

get the message from the callback and get the embeds, then you can get the image

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Interaction.message

The message that sent this interaction.

This is only available for InteractionType.component interactions.

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.

discord.Embed.image

property image```
Returns an `EmbedProxy` denoting the image contents.

Possible attributes you can access are...

[slate swan]

Possible attributes you can access are:

• url
• proxy_url
• width
• height

[hot sparrow]

got it

thanks for your help

for emb in interaction.message.embeds:
  print(emb.image.url)

!d discord.on_member_join

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_member\_join

discord.on_member_join(member)```
Called when a [`Member`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Member) joins a [`Guild`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Guild).

What part of my syntax did i screw up here?

Why does this code produce failed interaction sometimes?

d!interaction

!d discord.Interaction

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Interaction

class discord.Interaction```
Represents a Discord interaction.

An interaction happens when a user does an action that needs to be notified. Current examples are slash commands and components.

New in version 2.0.

[rough shuttle]

Whenver I select a option, it mostly fails.

[lean shard]

Is it not 100% failure? And are you doing the same actions each time to replicate it?

Like, I dunno much, just seeing what you're tried

[rough shuttle]

It's not 100% failure sometimes, it works.

[lean shard]

🤔

[rough shuttle]

sometimes it works, but most of the time it doesn't.

[lean shard]

At what line does it fail?
Do you get an error code?

[rough shuttle]

line 90

it says that

Traceback (most recent call last):

discord.errors.NotFound: 404 Not Found (error code: 10062): Unknown interaction

[final iron]

You have to respond to an interaction within 3 seconds

If you use discord.InteractionResponse.defer() you’ll have 15 minutes

[rough shuttle]

Ohh

okay.

[lean shard]

Where did you catch that? Not my error, but curious

[rough shuttle]

Written in the documentation.

[final iron]

The error can be caused by a few reasons, but it’s usually not responding fast enough. That error, plus the just overall large amount of operations done before responding brought me there

If you’re talking about the 3 second restriction it’s up to discord and can be viewed in their documentation

[rough shuttle]

@final iron

[final iron]

You need an instance of InteractionResponse

discord.Interaction.response will return the instance

!d discord.Interaction.response

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Interaction.response

Returns an object responsible for handling responding to the interaction.

A response can only be done once. If secondary messages need to be sent, consider using followup instead.

[rough shuttle]

like this?

await discord.InteractionResponse.defer(interaction.followup.send_message(f"Ticket created in <#{channel.id}>"), ephemeral=True)

[final iron]

huh

[slate swan]

[final iron]

This returns the InteractionResponse instance

[sick birch]

you call defer on an instance of InteractionResponse, not the class itself

[rough shuttle]

I don't understand, would an example be possible?

[sick birch]

await interaction.response.defer() to defer the interaction
await interaction.followup.send("hello") to send a followup message

[rough shuttle]

ohh okay, thank you

[sick birch]

interaction.response gives you an instance of discord.InteractionResponse, so you can use the .defer() method on that

[rough shuttle]

Defer only works for application commands, this is a prefix command.

[sick birch]

how do you have an interaction object if this is a prefix command

[rough shuttle]

oh wait it's a hybrid command

[slate swan]

then its ctx.defer()

!d discord.ext.commands.Context.defer

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Context.defer

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

Defers the interaction based contexts.

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

If this isn’t an interaction based context then it does nothing.

[rough shuttle]

ctx won't work, I'm using interaction for select menus.

[final iron]

huh

You always get an interaction object for select menus

No matter how they’re invoked

[rough shuttle]

Yeah ik that, ctx object won't work.

[final iron]

And why cant you defer with the InteractionResponse object?

[lean shard]

Off topic, what’s the advantage to using pycord or other discord bot libraries?

[slate swan]

||The fix is to not use hybrid commands||

[lean shard]

Why did you spoiler that?lol

[slate swan]

It's personal preference really, most libraries are forks of discord.py

[sick birch]

I don't think pycord has a very good reputation

[edgy plinth]

async def createChannel(interaction,client,attackingFaction,defendingFaction,mainguild=ID):
  guild = client.get_guild(mainguild)
  category = guild.get_channel(ChannelID)
  length = len(category.text_channels)
  print(length)
  channel = await guild.create_text_channel("Test 4", category=category, position=length)

Whilst creating the text channel i pass the position (last), yet it fails to put it into position

[slate swan]

position (int) – The position in the channel list. This is a number that starts at 0. e.g. the top channel is position 0.

since its starting at 0 you need to subtract 1 from the length

[edgy plinth]

ah true

forgot that quirk

[edgy plinth]

same thing

[slate swan]

does it work when you try to place it for example at second position?

[edgy plinth]

yup

[slate swan]

since it doesnt place it last where does it

[edgy plinth]

first

[slate swan]

and how many text channels are there in this category

[edgy plinth]

currently 2

[slate swan]

and what is the value of length

[edgy plinth]

2

[slate swan]

i see you print that already

so it should work

[edgy plinth]

nope

async def createChannel(interaction,client,attackingFaction,defendingFaction,mainguild=):
  guild = client.get_guild(mainguild)
  category = guild.get_channel()
  length = len(category.text_channels)
  print(length)
  channel = await guild.create_text_channel("Test 4", category=category, position=length)

[slate swan]

you still dont subtract 1 do you

[edgy plinth]

i have tried with it

async def createChannel(interaction,client,attackingFaction,defendingFaction,mainguild=):
  guild = client.get_guild(mainguild)
  category = guild.get_channel()
  length = len(category.text_channels)
  channel = await guild.create_text_channel("Test 4", category=category)
  channel.position = length

This works, just have to do it seperated

[slate swan]

weird

[slate swan]

anyone know why the image aint appearing in the embed

this is replit btw

[slate swan]

How do you send the message

And you're missing an f for your f-string fyi

[slate swan]

_ _

OH

And you need to send the file as well when sending the embed

e.g.

await channel.send(file=file, embed=embed)

i did what you said

but the problem is now

the msg wont send for some reason 😭

Likely have some error(s)

e.g. the part at get_channel

If the channel is not in cache it can't be used as it will return None

So you'd have to do something like

channel = bot.get_channel(channel_id) or await bot.fetch_channel(channel_id)

Which will first try to get the channel from the cache and if it will return None it makes an API call with fetch_channel

Example:

!e

print(None or 5)

LOVE YOU BRO

I HAD THIS ISSUE FOR SO LONG

❤️

hi guys i have a question

import discord
import os
from discord.ext import commands

intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.reactions = True  # Enable reaction events
intents.message_content = True

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

starboard_channel_id = 1187079412395556896  # Replace with your starboard channel ID

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

@bot.event
async def on_reaction_add(reaction, user):
    if reaction.emoji == '⭐️' and not user.bot:
        channel = reaction.message.channel
        starboard_channel = bot.get_channel(starboard_channel_id)
        if isinstance(starboard_channel, discord.TextChannel):     
            starred_message = reaction.message
        
            # Check if the message is already in the starboard channel
            starboard_message = await starboard_channel.fetch_message(starred_message.id)

            if starboard_message is None:
                # Create a new message in the starboard channel
                starboard_message = await starboard_channel.send(f'**{reaction.count} ⭐️**\n{starred_message.content}')

            else:
                # Update the star count
                await starboard_message.edit(content=f'**{reaction.count} ⭐️**\n{starred_message.content}')

@bot.event
async def on_message_delete(message):
    # Remove from starboard when the original message is deleted
    starboard_channel = bot.get_channel(starboard_channel_id)

    if isinstance(starboard_channel, discord.TextChannel):
   
        try:
            starboard_message = await starboard_channel.fetch_message(message.id)
            await starboard_message.delete()
        except discord.NotFound:
            pass

# Run the bot with your token
bot.run(os.environ['TOKEN'])

i wrote this bot that has a starboard system just like dyno bot. I’m running the bot on replit mobile. There’s nothing wrong with the code i guess but when i run the bot

it doesn’t work. first it says the token on the bot might be expired but it isnt cause i have reset it 5 times and updated the token in the code. i was thinking it also could be the that are some missing intents in the code or some. but i have authorized and enabled all intents in the bot in the developer site

.

if possible can someone help me finding where the issue is? again im running the bot on replit and it’s not always online but i dont think that’s an issue. i also have copied the channels id and have granted the bot permission to talk in the channel

can you send the traceback?

[slate swan]

yes just a second

[lean shard]

Why is that?

[final iron]

They steal code without credit, one of the least used forks, terrible implementations etc

[lean shard]

Oh, that’s a huge problem and 100% a reason not to support their code

[drowsy thistle]

Question how do I add options to hybrid slash commands?

[final iron]

Typehint the argument with typing.Literal or create an Enum

[drowsy thistle]

Is there a way to add to it via the commands?

[final iron]

huh

[drowsy thistle]

Like for example the list I am trying to do is based of the commands available in the bot

I dont wanna write it manually so is there a way to make it add the list automatically

Take it like this

[final iron]

Probably not with hybrid commands

[drowsy thistle]

There are 3 commands, help, botinfo, and serverinfo

[final iron]

Enums are generally immutable

[drowsy thistle]

so I have to do manually ig

[final iron]

Or don't use a hybrid command for this

[drowsy thistle]

well the thing tbh is I want it to be prefix and slash command compatible for most commands

[final iron]

You can still do that...

[drowsy thistle]

seperately or via hybrids?

[final iron]

You can just create 1 prefix command, and 1 slash command

[drowsy thistle]

oh it wont interfere?

[final iron]

No?

Why would it

[drowsy thistle]

I thought it would say that the comand already exists

[final iron]

Why

They're 2 separate types of commands

[drowsy thistle]

oh ig then sure why not, thanks

also cute penguin, (dont shoot me tho)

[young dagger]

Is there a reason why it would not be in cache? Can you give me an example?

[final iron]

Not all items are given by discord on startup.

[final iron]

dont respond to it twice lol

[void mauve]

how do i edit then

[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.

[void mauve]

oh ic

thanks

[drowsy thistle]

is discord having issues

[warm whale]

If I had a bot that sent a message then waited 15 seconds then edited that message can i do that?

[final iron]

Sure

[final iron]

Why do you think its having issues

[drowsy thistle]

iscord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: HTTPException: 400 Bad Request (error code: 50035): Invalid Form Body

[final iron]

Has nothing to do with discord having issues lol

[drowsy thistle]

then whats that for

[final iron]

Invalid Form Body

[drowsy thistle]

Yea but it used to work exactly nothing vhanged?

[final iron]

Are you asking for help to solve it

[drowsy thistle]

Yea

idk why it started showing this thing out of a sudden

how to increase void time in discord py, for example the default is 3 seconds, how can I increase it to 10-15

[sick birch]

What do you mean by "void time"?

[rough shuttle]

like, an interaction is only available for 3 seconds before it becomes invalid. How to increase that time?

[sick birch]

you can't increase the time but you can defer within 3 seconds and send a follow up later

There isn't really a reason to always just use get_channel

[young dagger]

I'm just trying to understand the logic here. Why would you not just use both of them/or await if that could save you in the future?

[slate swan]

That's what I said

Use both

Disnake also has some of those built-in

!d disnake.ext.commands.Bot.getch_user

[unkempt canyon]

disnake.ext.commands.Bot.getch\_user

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

Tries to get the user from the cache. If it fails, fetches the user from the API.

This only propagates exceptions when the `strict` parameter is enabled.

[slate swan]

e.g. that

Not sure why it doesn't have for channels as well but whatever

[young dagger]

I have seen many programmers only using get_channel for some reason 🤔

[slate swan]

Yeah well, unfortunate for them

Usually channels get cached pretty fast, but not always the case so yeh

[young dagger]

Disnake have fetch_channel built-in on failure for get_channel, while discord.py does not?

Why?

[slate swan]

I'm not a discord.py dev ¯_(ツ)_/¯

hey guys, how can i make command group in cog?

That's not what the channel topic says

And this channel has never been that way

Oh I'm dumb you meant the foreign channel

I thought you were answering

[young dagger]

Btw I just realized that is for the user and not channel

My bad Disnake works the same way. The returned channel or None if not found.

You can only do Reload(client)

when i do that i get this error

[sick birch]

can you show us the entire reload class

[brazen geyser]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/2DWA

[sick birch]

I believe you need a super().__init__() in your Reload's ctor

[brazen geyser]

ohh, actually i new so i dont know much about it, but is it something like i have in main.py?

like this

    intents = discord.Intents().all()
    super().__init__(command_prefix = commands.when_mentioned_or(prefix), intents = intents)```

[sick birch]

yeah but the arguments are different

I think you can get away with not passing any

[brazen geyser]

so just

    super().__init__()```

or am i wrong?

[sick birch]

should be fine

try it out and let me know

[rough shuttle]

Anyone mind helping me with this?

[brazen geyser]

its working thank you so much and could u please explain to me how __init__ and super().__init__() works and whats the difference

[velvet compass]

__init__ is part of creating an instance of a class, and super() is how you inherit a parent class
https://realpython.com/python-class-constructor/
https://realpython.com/python-super/

[sick birch]

The superclass inside your Reload is the app_commands.Group class, so when you call super().__init__() you're really calling the initializer of the Group class. This lets discord.py set some internal attributes there (like the parent attribute which was causing your error)

[brazen geyser]

okayy, thank you so much i understand it more now <3

[brazen geyser]

thank you so much too, ill read that webs <3

[velvet compass]

(it is a more in-depth explanation of those terms in general, Robin's explanation for your case here is a good summary)

[brazen geyser]

okay okay, ill read it anyways so i can learn something new

[hushed galleon]

usually i store the buttons as attributes of a view subclass*, add only the ones desired, and then later if i want to change out the buttons, i'll clear the items and add them back, e.g. ```py
class PaginatorView(discord.ui.View):
def init(self):
super().init()
self.first = FirstPageButton(...)
self.prev = PrevPageButton(...)
self.next = NextPageButton(...)
self.last = LastPageButton(...)
self.update_buttons()

def update_buttons(self):
    self.clear_items()

    if not self.at_first_entry():
        self.add_item(self.first)
        self.add_item(self.prev)

    if not self.at_last_entry():
        self.add_item(self.next)
        self.add_item(self.last)``` \* if you use the decorator form of defining buttons, you can access those button instances using their function name

[true vector]

I have tried everything how can I check if a user has admin privilages ? This does not work, been at this longer than id like to admit

@bot.tree.command(name='delall')
@commands.has_permissions(administrator = True)
@app_commands.describe(input = '"all" to delete all codes')
async def delall(interaction: discord.Interaction, input:str , ): 
    if input == 'all':
        sc = open('Codes.txt' , 'w')
        await interaction.response.send_message(f'**{interaction.user.name}** hat alle gültigen codes gelöscht')

        while True: 
            now = datetime.now().strftime("%d/%m/%Y %H:%M:%S")
            break

        print(Fore.RED + f'{interaction.user.name} hat alle codes gelöscht :: {now}')
        sc.close()

    elif commands.MissingPermissions: 
        await interaction.response.send_message('You dont have Admin privilages stop being naughty')

[shrewd fjord]

!d discord.app_commands.checks.has_permissions

[unkempt canyon]

discord.app\_commands.checks.has\_permissions

@discord.app_commands.checks.has_permissions(**perms)```
A [`check()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.check) that is added that checks if the member has all of the permissions necessary.

Note that this check operates on the permissions given by [`discord.Interaction.permissions`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.Interaction.permissions).

The permissions passed in must be exactly like the properties shown under [`discord.Permissions`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Permissions).

This check raises a special exception, [`MissingPermissions`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.MissingPermissions) that is inherited from [`CheckFailure`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.CheckFailure).

New in version 2.0...

[true vector]

I just fixed it. Just to run into another problem xd

[shrewd fjord]

Hmm ;-;?

[true vector]

This is not printing, I am the owner of the server and I have admin role.

what am I missing

@bot.event
async def on_message (message): 
    sc = open('Codes.txt' , 'r') 
    scContent = sc.read()  
    if message.content == '.c' and message.author.has_permissions.administrator:
            print(f'{message.author} hier sind alle Codes: \n{scContent}')
            # read from file and print output      
            await message.reply(f'**{message.author}** hier sind alle Codes: `\n{scContent}`')
            sc.close()
            
    else:
        message.response('Stop being naughty')

[true vector]

If i remove and message.author.has_permissions.administrator: it does print but then everyone can print

[final iron]

This isn’t how you use has_permissions

It’s a decorator for commands, which you should be using

[true vector]

I dont want to for this specific purpose. Is there a way around that ? And still being able to limit it to admin ?

[final iron]

Why don’t you want to?

[true vector]

because as far as im concerend. You can only have the slash commands with and input and I would like to avoid that. Or am I wrong

[hushed galleon]

slash commands don't need to have any parameters, but i think pep was also referring to discord.py's prefix command system which is typically preferred over on_message()

btw if you weren't using it already, you can set default permission requirements on application commands so they won't show up to other users

!d discord.app_commands.default_permissions

see third paragraph: "Setting an empty permissions field ... will disallow anyone except server administrators from using the command in a guild."
(if you don't want to allow the command in dms, apply the @app_commands.guild_only() decorator too)

[unkempt canyon]

discord.app\_commands.default\_permissions

@discord.app_commands.default_permissions(**perms)```
A decorator that sets the default permissions needed to execute this command.

When this decorator is used, by default users must have these permissions to execute the command. However, an administrator can change the permissions needed to execute this command using the official client. Therefore, this only serves as a hint.

Setting an empty permissions field, including via calling this with no arguments, will disallow anyone except server administrators from using the command in a guild.

This is sent to Discord server side, and is not a [`check()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.check). Therefore, error handlers are not called.

Due to a Discord limitation, this decorator does nothing in subcommands and is ignored.

[true vector]

no shot

thats wicked that fixes alot for me thanks

[true vector]

probably my last question xd. But is there a way to fasten up the process of registering commands ? Or does it just take forever ?

[hushed galleon]

at some point in time, discord made global commands sync near instantly so if it hasn't shown up by now, your bot probably hasn't synced its commands correctly

[true vector]

hmm ok, because I tried discord.js for a hot minute and they registered instantly

[hushed galleon]

what discord.py code do you have to sync your commands?

[true vector]

@bot.event    
async def on_ready():
    print(f'{bot.user} is ready to rumble!')
    print('Published by Moritz Reiswaffel')
    try:
        synced = await bot.tree.sync()
        print(f'Synced {len(synced)} commands!')
    except Exception as e:
        print(e)
    print('------------------------------')    
    ```

just this, I have a boilerplate for a command to sync but I dont work

[hushed galleon]

hm, not the best practice but that seems functional

does it say Synced {n} commands when you start the bot?

[true vector]

yes

[hushed galleon]

do the commands show up if you click your bot icon in the command list?

or if you check in your server's integrations tab

[true vector]

they do, but I took discord like 5min now to register the delall command

[hushed galleon]

oh well, the fact that sync() returned some number of commands means that discord's API responded to your bot with the list of commands that got registered, so any lag afterwards is likely from discord's side

[true vector]

ffs

hmm ok, guess Ill have to live with that. Now I just gotta figure out my slash commands

[harsh orbit]

there is bots called "bot maker" its a bot can make a bots for you
for example: you click a button in the bot to make "autoline bot" then it will ask you for a token and prefix then when you insert the info the bot will work
does anyone have an idea how this thing work?

[final iron]

Usually restarting your discord client will fix it

[final iron]

You’re assuming we have context that you haven’t provided. What is an autoline bot

[odd path]

bot maker....and here I just wrote my discord bot from scratch.

[sick birch]

there are some of them out there but they're not too customizable and are mainly targetted towards people who can't/don't know how to code

[odd path]

Yeah I looked around at some before I decided to just do it myself. It's not as daunting as I thought it would be

[slate swan]

my first ever discord bot was made using Discord bot maker on steam with some nice gui

i doubt its still a thing

it was like 2 years ago

dam it costs money now shush

[tepid wadi]

I need help. First time writing a bot. The bot is online, but does not respond to command.

[livid hedge]

Hello, I have a question:
Does Python discord.py bots run their own instance for each server they're in or not?

Example:
I have this code

class GameCog(commands.Cog):
  def __init__(self):
    self.l = []
  @commands.command(name="add")
  async def add(self, ctx):
    self.l.append('Example data')

And I have two discord servers ( Server1 and Server2 ).
If I run the add command in Server1 ( which adds one element to the list) and then I re-run that command on another server, will it add the element to a new list on to the old one?
Is basically the same instance of the bot executed for all servers or viceversa?

[livid hedge]

that is not the way you should use commands. You should use discord.etx.commands.Bot.
This from the documentation https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/api.html?highlight=commands bot#discord.ext.commands.Bot

I believe tho you could have to enable discord message intents

[sick birch]

No

If your bot is sufficiently large enough, then you'll need to start sharding, where one instance handles some number of guilds (but not 1)

[sick birch]

After you run the command in both guilds, the value of the list l will be ["Example data", "Example data"]

[livid hedge]

Talking about code you can do it like that (using too the discord.etx.commands.Bot)
You will have to enable message intents from Discord Developer Portal too!

import discord
from discord.ext.commands import Bot

intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.message_content = True
bot = Bot(command_prefix="!", intents=intents)

[livid hedge]

okay, that sounds like a problem. I am creating tictactoe game, which stores the players and the board. It means that for every server the bot is into will share the same data.

[sick birch]

you could use a dict where the ID is the guild ID and the value is whatever you want

[livid hedge]

sounds like I will have to create an array of games and players (well in a structurated way)

[livid hedge]

yes it was exactly what I was thinking

thank you, Robin

[sick birch]

no prob

[unreal gazelle]

**I am available to work for you on your projects at a very cheap price **

[final iron]

See: rule 9

[sick birch]

I've already told you this is against rule 6/9. This is going to be your last warning

[golden portal]

tbh you should just get a job with higher pay tho

[final iron]

there are websites for this anyway

[drifting arrow]

Is there a decorator for checking if a message was sent to the bots direct messages?

🤔

or what's the most optimal way to handle it?
ATM I was thinking of doing "on_message" and checking if the message was sent to dms

[final iron]

no

This is something extremely easy to implement yourself

[drifting arrow]

I know, I was just hoping for something simpler lol

[sick birch]

you could write a really simple check that just inverts the value of https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/api.html?highlight=guild_only#discord.ext.commands.guild_only

is this pycord

[odd path]

yeah that confused me just a little

[slate swan]

does anyone knows if there’s a way i can host 2 or more discord bots for free?

[drifting arrow]

How do you @ roles?

[sick birch]

same way you @ anything else

[drifting arrow]

i meant using discordpy

[sick birch]

!d discord.Role.mention

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Role.mention

property mention```
Returns a string that allows you to mention a role.

[sick birch]

Yes

All mentionables have a .mention property

[mint walrus]

I’ll pay someone 20$ to recreate this discord bot (I have screenshots of the commands and what they are suppose to do)

[sick birch]

!rule 9

[unkempt canyon]

Rules

9. Do not offer or ask for paid work of any kind.

[harsh orbit]

its not important its just any bot for example I asking how to make the bot maker

when you insert any bot token in it the bot will work in some code like "autoline" or anything

[dusk knoll]

Hello, I am a previous comer to discord.py and can't seem to successfully load a command cog despite my efforts of research on the newest documentation, it could be that I'm missing something but would the following blocks of code be valid to load a cog?

from discord.ext.commands import Bot, Cog, Context
from discord.ext.commands import command

class TrialCog(Cog):
  @command()
  async def say_hi(ctx: Context, *) -> None:
    await ctx.send(str.format("Hey there {0}", ctx.author.mention))

async def setup() -> None:
  await bot.add_cog(TrialCog)
```.

from asyncio import run
from discord import Intents
from discord.ext.commands import Bot

async def main() -> None:
  intents = Intents.default()
  
  my_bot = Bot(command_prefix="!", intents=intents)
  await bot.load_extension("trialcog")
  await my_bot.run("")

run(main())```

It really doesn't make sense to me why this wouldn't work

The error I'm getting Extension 'trialcog' raised an error: TypeError: cogs must derive from Cog

[slate swan]

await bot.add_cog(Greetings(bot))

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/cogs.html#cog-registration

Compare that with your line

[dusk knoll]

Even if I add the parenthesis I get the same error

Nevermind, I got the system working I just needed to refresh my knowledge and understand the run function of the Bot which isn't asynchronous, thanks though!

[brazen raft]

You will get this error as long as add_cog's argument is an instance of a class derived from a class other than Cog. If you're still getting it, seems like you added parentheses in the wrong place

[dusk knoll]

Yeah I figured that

[round maple]

hey

ive got this script and ive got no idea why it doesnt work

theres no errors

import discord

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
  if message.content.startswith('!ves'):
    await message.channel.send('whatsappvess')


client.run(TOKEN)

anyone care to help?

[slate swan]

You haven't enabled the message content intent, so you won't receive any message content

[round maple]

so just intents.messages = True?

[slate swan]

I said message content, not messages

[round maple]

oh

so message_content?

[slate swan]

tias

[round maple]

so yes?

[slate swan]

Try it and see

[round maple]

gives off and error

[slate swan]

Read the error and do what it says

[round maple]

i did

the bot has admin perms

[slate swan]

Intents are not permissions

Read the error again

And read https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/intents.html

[shadow vigil]

!intents

[unkempt canyon]

Using intents in discord.py

Intents are a feature of Discord that tells the gateway exactly which events to send your bot. Various features of discord.py rely on having particular intents enabled, further detailed in its documentation. Since discord.py v2.0.0, it has become mandatory for developers to explicitly define the values of these intents in their code.

There are standard and privileged intents. To use privileged intents like Presences, Server Members, and Message Content, you have to first enable them in the Discord Developer Portal. In there, go to the Bot page of your application, scroll down to the Privileged Gateway Intents section, and enable the privileged intents that you need. Standard intents can be used without any changes in the developer portal.

Afterwards in your code, you need to set the intents you want to connect with in the bot's constructor using the intents keyword argument, like this:

from discord import Intents
from discord.ext import commands

# Enable all standard intents and message content
# (prefix commands generally require message content)
intents = Intents.default()
intents.message_content = True

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

For more info about using intents, see discord.py's related guide, and for general information about them, see the Discord developer documentation on intents.

[vale wing]

For free? 😏

[young dagger]

Which one should I use?
1.

wins = None
losses = None

if wins and losses:
    print(f"{wins / (wins + losses) * 100:.2f}%")```
2.
```py
wins = None
losses = None

if wins is not None and losses is not None:
    print(f"{wins / (wins + losses) * 100:.2f}%")```

[slate swan]

depends what other values wins and losses can take

if its for example 1 or 5 its fine with the first example

but if it can be 0 and you still want to print it out then it wont work

[young dagger]

Which one would you use? Would you still print out the winrate with 0 wins and 5 losses (0.00% winrate) for example?

[gray edge]

do i need to make my backend model structure async if i'm using it with discord.py (which is also async)

i want to use async locks on some of the classes but i'm not too keen on having to make my model async, when i also want to access it synchronously outside of the bot

[young dagger]

Hmh I think I'm just going to use:

if wins is not None and losses is not None:
    print(f"{wins / (wins + losses) * 100:.2f}%" if wins + losses != 0 else "0.00%")```

[slate swan]

i would print out 0% winrate yes

[hot sparrow]

what do i do if i need to do both of these in the same callback?

await interaction.response.edit_message(view=view)
await interaction.response.send_message(f"{mode}:\n{res}", ephemeral=True) 

just checking if there is a better way than to use discord.Client.get_channel(interaction.channel_id).send()

[golden portal]

btw, you can do {wins / (wins + losses):.2%} would pretty much be the same thing

[golden portal]

use interaction.followup.send

[hot sparrow]

works thanks

[uneven arch]

I am currently making a chess bot and want to edit the original chess board message
svg_data = chess.svg.board(board=self.board)
png_data = cairosvg.svg2png(bytestring=svg_data)

await interaction.response.edit_message(content="New Move", file=image)

This is what i am currently doing but it doesnt work

[shrewd fjord]

What exactly doesn't work

[vale wing]

Mm I think you can send files as svg without converting them to png can't you

And of course, please describe what doesn't work and attach traceback if you got any

[fiery cairn]

Is discord.ui outdated?

Or no? For doing modals and forms and all

[shrewd fjord]

!d discord.ui.Modal

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ui.Modal

class discord.ui.Modal(*, title=..., timeout=None, custom_id=...)```
Represents a UI modal.

This object must be inherited to create a modal popup window within discord.

New in version 2.0.

Examples...

[fiery cairn]

Thanks

Just to check bc I know some are outdated and not rlly supported at all

[shrewd fjord]

Use @bot.listen() instead of @bot.event

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.listen

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.listen

@listen(name=None)```
A decorator that registers another function as an external event listener. Basically this allows you to listen to multiple events from different places e.g. such as [`on_ready()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.on_ready)

The functions being listened to must be a [coroutine](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

[ebon island]

Hey all, quick question - what is currently the best Discord library in Python in terms of syntax / feature functionality / completeness of API / stability etc particularly in terms of integration with direct file playback for a music bot (yt is unnecessary and will not be used) and if any python library has integration of bot "listening" eg voice activation that would also be of big interest. I'd love a birds eye view at the present landscape.

I was previously using Disnake with a pretty complex/extensive bot that is still widely used but I'm trying to decide on library for the overhaul I'm about to perform and want to understand my options as best I can.

Thanks! ❤️

[ebon island]

Also, just to note, some of the things I really liked about Disnake that I'd want from whichever library I end up using:

Cogs, they did a great job as an OOP way of organizing the project in a logical and meaningful way

Slash Command decorators, I really liked the syntax for creating commands, it was very effective - I don't want to have an ugly on_message handler because it seems like bad practice to do so and after using Disnake's command implementation I don't want to lose that sort of quality implementation.

Additionally, a high quality music player wrapper that can play local files is essential as well

Intuitive modals would also be very nice for command systems.

[final iron]

Generally, except for hikari all of the libraries, nextcord, pycord, disnake etc are forks of discord.py

[ebon island]

but afaik discord.py was not being actively developed/maintained and only last year the original dev returned to the project so I guess I'm reaching out to see if the forks are ahead or behind overall at this point versus the original

[final iron]

Each library has a slash command implementation, discord.py, nextcord and pycord all use decorators for their slash commands, I’m not sure what disnake does

[ebon island]

btw thank you for the response ❤️

[final iron]

About listening, pycord has native support for it, and discord.py has an extension

PyCords implementation is just ripoff of the discord.py extension though

They copied the code so it’s about the same

[sick birch]

classic

[final iron]

most dedicated Pycord developer

[ebon island]

haha understood, so presently/moving forward is discord.py the best option given my desired parameters above? Does discord.py do cogs in the way disnake did?

[final iron]

disnake is a fork of discord.py, so unless they modified it, it should be the exact same

!d disnake.ext.commands.Bot.add_cog

[unkempt canyon]

disnake.ext.commands.Bot.add\_cog

add_cog(cog, *, override=False)```
Adds a “cog” to the bot.

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

Changed in version 2.0: [`ClientException`](https://docs.disnake.dev/en/latest/api/exceptions.html#disnake.ClientException) is raised when a cog with the same name is already loaded.

[sick birch]

looks like disnake didn't change the cog system from discordpy

[ebon island]

Oh excellent! That is great news

[final iron]

I think it might be based on the old 1.7.3 implementation

[slate swan]

Does Pycord have a bad rep or something?

I only ever used dpy

[ebon island]

I looked at dpy docs and didn't see obvious slash command decorator though, did I overlook it?

[final iron]

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

discord.py has a different implementation where application commands are added to a CommandTree, and then synced to discord

!d discord.app_commands.CommandTree

[unkempt canyon]

discord.app\_commands.CommandTree

class discord.app_commands.CommandTree(client, *, fallback_to_global=True)```
Represents a container that holds application command information.

[slate swan]

discord.py implements app_commands which slash commands are a subset of

[final iron]

The specific decorator would be

!d discord.app_commands.CommandTree.command

[unkempt canyon]

discord.app\_commands.CommandTree.command

@command(*, name=..., description=..., nsfw=False, guild=..., guilds=..., auto_locale_strings=True, extras=...)```
A decorator that creates an application command from a regular function directly under this tree.

[ebon island]

ooh so if I'm understanding correctly looking at the example,

@client.tree.command()

is how commands are added - what denotes it as a slash command? I don't see any params passed into the decorator which I'd normally expect at least a name="" value to map the command to a specific command name in the command namespace - I can only surmise based on this example that it names based on the python function name?

Then likewise, looking at this:

async def setup_hook(self):
        # This copies the global commands over to your guild.
        self.tree.copy_global_to(guild=MY_GUILD)
        await self.tree.sync(guild=MY_GUILD)

The purpose of this if I'm reading the comments correctly in the example is to immediately sync servers with the new commands?

class MyClient(discord.Client):
    def __init__(self, *, intents: discord.Intents):
        super().__init__(intents=intents)
        # A CommandTree is a special type that holds all the application command
        # state required to make it work. This is a separate class because it
        # allows all the extra state to be opt-in.
        # Whenever you want to work with application commands, your tree is used
        # to store and work with them.
        # Note: When using commands.Bot instead of discord.Client, the bot will
        # maintain its own tree instead.
        self.tree = app_commands.CommandTree(self)

So here, I see that we're defining a client instance which is later used, and in that client instance we're instantiating an object of type CommandTree with params being the Client object, and then logically the tree commands above would modify that instance and would be "global" commands which I'd surmise by the above take 1 hour to update. Why didn't disnake run into this issue? I don't recall slash commands in disnake requiring an hour to update - was it doing the copy operation under the hood and I wasn't aware?

Lots of questions, tyvm for the great answers btw

[sick birch]

the tree denotes it as a slash command

or, well, an application command

discordpy has a container called a "command tree" that holds information about all application commands

[ebon island]

oooh interesting, so in this case application command is synonymous with what I'd consider slash command?

[sick birch]

a slash command is a type of application command

so are context menus

[ebon island]

and command tree object stores those in a way that is communicated to discord

[sick birch]

the .sync is what actually communicates them with discord

[ebon island]

ooh interesting - are there examples of complex but elegant usage for context menus? I'd guess I can look at CommandTree in documentation and probably find clues in terms of how it might be done, yes?

[sick birch]

context menus aren't all that complex so no, I'm afraid

[ebon island]

are context menus also written to CommandTree or are they stored separately? Just since you used application command which I'd surmise is the parent class and slash command and context menu are effectively children/subclass implementations and would probably be stored in the same CommandTree object, is that a correct assumption?

[sick birch]

context menus are also application commands, so they're stored under CommandTree

just since you used application command which I'd surmise is the parent class and slash command and context menu are effectively children/subclass implementations
this is a perfect analogy

[ebon island]

Cool!

I'm excited to give it a try, I guess it's settled, I'll be using dpy

[sick birch]

not sure if my brain is just blanking or that's the only two types of application commands, though

[ebon island]

I expect I can check documentation now that I know what I'm looking for

thank you very much btw! 🙂

no prob, have fun

The dropdown doesn't show

[final iron]

Selects have to be added to discord.ui.View's first, and then pass into the view kwarg

!d discord.ext.commands.Context.send

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Context.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.

This works similarly to [`send()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.abc.Messageable.send) for non-interaction contexts.

For interaction based contexts this does one of the following...

[final iron]

Notice how view is supposed to be an instance of discord.ui.View

[thorny summit]

Oh yeah

dropdown_message = await ctx.send("Choose a resource to add to your backpack:", discord.ui.View)

It's not this is it?

[final iron]

no

you need an instace of discord.ui.View, or a subclass

Also, is there anyway I could have a small setup of a websocket connection with discord's event gateway

just for fun to see what payloads are received by discord.py (but instead just me having a very simple client instead of the discord.py wrapper around it)

ah its not that easy, discord does require feedback using heartbeats

[snow coral]

So i made a game and it works fine, but the bot doesn’t pick up some words, i suspect it’s ratelimits but i just want some more opinions.
code: https://paste.pythondiscord.com/L5KQ (lines 63-85)

example below

[golden portal]

eh, it's possible that your wait_for was too slow to catch up, missing some on_message event while you're processing the words and reacting, if it is ratelimited, you can't react to any but eventually you do still react on them, instead of doing this wait_for while loop, you may wanna just create a temporary listener, would be much efficient

Something simple like this```py
async def wait_for_messages(bot, timeduration, check):
q = asyncio.Queue()
async def on_message(message):
if check(message):
q.put_nowait(message)

bot.add_listener(on_message)
start_time = time.time()
while time.time() - start_time < float(timeduration):
    yield await q.get()

bot.remove_listener(on_message)

Then using them as ```py
async for UserWord in wait_for_messages(bot, timeduration, check):
    ... # process here

So that way you dont miss any on_message events while processing them, recommend using a queue

this is just an idea tbh, i didnt test this code

[slate swan]

you could implement it yourself, aiohttp implements the Websocket protocol

[void mauve]

How do I correctly add options to the discord.ui.Select class? putting list as super().__init__ option is not the case as i need to use await, to access the list from database

class DeleteProductChoice(discord.ui.Select):

    def __init__(self, channel_id: int = None):
        self.channel_id = channel_id

        super().__init__(
            placeholder='Товар',
            min_values=1,
            max_values=1,
        )

    async def options(self):
        return [discord.SelectOption(label=label) for label in await db.select_products(session, self.channel_id)]

    async def callback(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):
        await interaction.response.defer()
        await interaction.followup.send(
            f'{self.values[0]}',
            ephemeral=True
        )

[sick birch]

it will need to be passed in from "upstream" where you fetch the data

[void mauve]

ok, thought I could do it with some kind of function inside the class

[sick birch]

class MySelect(discord.ui.Select):
  def __init__(self, options: list[str]):
    super().__init__(
      placeholder="Pick one", 
      min_values=1, 
      max_values=1,
      options=[discord.SelectOption(label=text) for text in options]
    )

  async def callback(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):
    ...

@bot.command()
async def my_command(ctx: commands.Context):
  options = await fetch_data() # let's say this fetches a list of strings from the database
  view = discord.ui.View()
  select = MySelect(options)
  view.add_item(select)

  await ctx.send(view=view)

Is there a way to register persistent views dynamically? So, basically I have some products that are added to the database, and they have a button which creates ticket referring to specific product from the shop, and in order to make button persistent I need to pass unique id to each button on different products.

This implementation gives out TypeError: View.to_components() missing 1 required positional argument: 'self'

    async def setup_hook(self) -> None:

        for extension in self.initial_extensions:
            await self.load_extension(extension)

        view_metadata = await db.select_products_metadata(session)

        for data in view_metadata:
            print(data)

            self.add_view(TicketCreationView(data[0], data[1]))

Heres the file with the view that needs to be persistent:

[spark nimbus]

popular_words = open("answers.txt").readlines()

but it looks fine(see pic)

[vale wing]

How are you running the project

And what's your working directory

[spark nimbus]

asyncio.run(main())

[vale wing]

Make sure it's max bot and not root

[vale wing]

I meant command line

[spark nimbus]

what do you mean by that?

[vale wing]

!workdir

Too bad there's no such tag

[spark nimbus]

    async with client:
        await load()
        BOT_TOKKEN = settings.TOKKEN
        await client.run(BOT_TOKKEN)
        
asyncio.run(main())```

[vale wing]

No, command line is python main.py

[spark nimbus]

i am running that with vscode

[vale wing]

Yeah and vscode does that

Please send what line it uses to run the project

[spark nimbus]

..

[vale wing]

Nah bro

I mean from terminal

[spark nimbus]

so what do you mean by that

[vale wing]

Tbh yk what

[vale wing]

Yeah your root is not max bot

Gotta fix that

File -> Open Folder -> max bot

You need to have that folder as root opened and venv inside

[spark nimbus]

ok

[vale wing]

Also move main out of cogs

Or is it not there

I can't quite see

[spark nimbus]

it is not in cogs

[golden portal]

couldn't you just use DynamicItem?

[void mauve]

will it make the view persistent? will i be able to use the buttton after restart?

[spark nimbus]

now it give me the error that " No module named 'discord'" even i pip installed this

[vale wing]

Your venv is not configured I assume

Have you moved the venv

[spark nimbus]

it is the interpreter

[vale wing]

?

[golden portal]

well it's a similar concept, bot.add_dynamic_items, but instead of each view, you just create a template for it, see an example here

[void mauve]

thanks, Ill do the research on that

[vale wing]

Either move your previous venv into max bot or create new venv, set it from commands palette and install discord there

[spark nimbus]

i did it

[vale wing]

Screenshot please

[vale wing]

Full

[vale wing]

Mm pretty sure previous installation ended up with error

[spark nimbus]

no

worked fine

[vale wing]

Well there's clearly red text in your terminal

Don't you see

[spark nimbus]

now i see it

Consider using the `--user` option or check the permissions.```

[vale wing]

Also it seems you somehow tried installing it globally

[spark nimbus]

do you know how can i change this?

[vale wing]

Do pip install discord.py again

[shrewd apex]

weird venv seems to be activated tho

[spark nimbus]

Consider using the `--user` option or check the permissions.``` same error

[vale wing]

Screenshot how you used pip install pls

[spark nimbus]

looked the rror

error
it says need admin premmisions gave the vscode and now it installed it

[vale wing]

It might be that the venv is broken if it's not newly created

[spark nimbus]

but discord is still not resolved

[vale wing]

Well it seems you are installing them globally

The only possible situation when it may happen is your venv is broken and it fallbacks to global pip

[shrewd apex]

just add the --user flag when installing and give it a try

[spark nimbus]

ok 1 sec

[shrewd apex]

how did u make the venv tho?

[vale wing]

Try

1. Killing terminal
2. Deleting the venv and creating new via py -3.11 -m venv venv

[shrewd apex]

does he have 3.11?

[spark nimbus]

ERROR: Can not perform a '--user' install. User site-packages are not visible in this virtualenv.

[vale wing]

Yeah I think, it was on screenshots

[shrewd apex]

ah venv issue

[vale wing]

@spark nimbus ^

[shrewd apex]

why does error says 3.8 site packages then 😔

[vale wing]

Because it fallbacks to global since venv it broken

[spark nimbus]

yes

[shrewd apex]

well usually the global python is the one u install latest

why would someone install 3.8 after 3.11 ;-;

[vale wing]

I used to do that quite often when doing machine learning, but then I discovered I could just use conda

[spark nimbus]

done and i this error:

sys:1: RuntimeWarning: coroutine 'Client.run.<locals>.runner' was never awaited```

[vale wing]

All ML libs are stuck at 3.9 max 💀

[shrewd apex]

hmm no?

i used a lot of popular ones at 3.10 and 11

[vale wing]

Well at least ones I'm familiar with

[shrewd apex]

not sure which libs ur talking abt

[vale wing]

Tensorflow

[shrewd apex]

show the code

[vale wing]

Great at least it now runs

[shrewd apex]

thats 3.9<=3.11 iirc

[vale wing]

Dunno

I remember struggling with tf installation cause of python version

[left dew]

i am inputting values to my bot by saying "!input 100 apples, 100 bananas", but i have this code that checks if what im inputting is correct and in a specific list, however it only checks the first value that i am inputting. how can i make it check all the values i am inputting

found_items = [item for item in items if any(word in message.content.lower() for word in item.split("-"))]

[vale wing]

Input checking? Would recommend regex

if re.fullmatch(r"(?:\d+ \w+(?:, )?)+", your_input)

I think that's the thing

[left dew]

would this work for checking the whole list to all the items that can be inputted?

[unreal pilot]

Yea ive implemented one

It was a bit tricky to figure out at first with sending heartbeats and stuff

[vale wing]

That applies to string

[left dew]

could you explain more?

[vale wing]

Actually you need to explain more ☺️ what is items

[left dew]

items is the list with what can be inputted e.g items = [“apples”, “bananas”….

[vale wing]

That can be done either via injecting it into regex pattern or by filtering them after searching

First method is more efficient imo

[left dew]

        inp = message.content.split(",")
        split_list = [word for item in inp for word in item.split()]
        split_list.remove("!input")
        splitlist = ','.join(split_list)
        items = ["apples", ...]
        found_items = [item for item in items if any(word in message.content.lower() for word in item.split("-"))]
        if found_items:  ```

this is what i have so far

[vale wing]

You are using on_message for commands processing?

😭

[left dew]

for what im trying to do yes

[slate swan]

!e ```py
import re
print(re.findall(r"\d", "൫"))

[unkempt canyon]

@slate swan :white_check_mark: Your 3.12 eval job has completed with return code 0.

['൫']

[slate swan]

[vale wing]

Regex moment

Gotta use [0-9] 😭

[slate swan]

[left dew]

sooooo

[slate swan]

so if this pattern was correct r"(?:\d+ \w+(?:, )?)+" use r"(?:[0-9]+ \w+(?:, )?)+" instead

[left dew]

how would i implement it in this code

[slate swan]

https://regex101.com/r/gQwSsg/1

!e ```py
import re
input_string = "!input 100 apples, 100 bananas"

for match in re.finditer(r"(?P<amount>[0-9]+)\s*(?P<item>\w+)", input_string):
print(match.group("amount"), match.group("item"))

[unkempt canyon]

@slate swan :white_check_mark: Your 3.12 eval job has completed with return code 0.

001 | 100 apples
002 | 100 bananas

[left dew]

but that doesnt check if the inputted values are correct and in the items list

[slate swan]

yeah regex is just so you validate the input from user

after you got only things that are in format you want then you validate them with your data

[left dew]

thats the part im having issues with, the validating part

[slate swan]

match.group("amount") is the amount and match.group("item") is the item

[slate swan]

then explain how you want to validate

when is the value correct

[left dew]

when the value is correct it just proceeds, if not it sends and error message

[slate swan]

why can't I get the ID of the webhook message?

[vale wing]

!e

allowed_fruits = ["bananas", "apples"]
valid = "100 bananas, 300 apples"
invalid = "500 oranges, 30 bananas"

# regex way
import re
pattern = re.compile(rf"(?:[0-9]+ (?:{'|'.join(allowed_fruits)})[, ]*)+")
print(pattern.fullmatch(valid) is not None)
print(pattern.fullmatch(invalid) is not None)

# non regex
f = lambda s: all(i.split()[1] in allowed_fruits for i in s.split(", "))
print(f(valid))
print(f(invalid))

[unkempt canyon]

@vale wing :white_check_mark: Your 3.12 eval job has completed with return code 0.

001 | False
002 | False
003 | True
004 | False

[vale wing]

Damn my regex is bad

[slate swan]

x

d

[vale wing]

!e

a = ["bananas", "apples"]
print(rf"(?:[0-9]+ {'|'.join(a)}[, ]*)+")```

[slate swan]

just turn on wait - wait=True

[vale wing]

@left dew ok here's fixed regex way

!e

allowed_fruits = ["bananas", "apples"]
valid = "100 bananas, 300 apples"
invalid = "500 oranges, 30 bananas"

# regex way
import re
pattern = re.compile(rf"(?:[0-9]+ (?:{'|'.join(allowed_fruits)})[, ]*)+")
print(pattern.fullmatch(valid) is not None)
print(pattern.fullmatch(invalid) is not None)

[unkempt canyon]

@vale wing :white_check_mark: Your 3.12 eval job has completed with return code 0.

001 | True
002 | False

[vale wing]

Can put that thing into regex101 and it will explain what each construction does

[left dew]

hi, how would i check if the pattern.fullmatch is true? and would i have to remove the "!input" first?

[vale wing]

fullmatch() is not None returns boolean

When it doesn't match, function returns None, when it does it's a Match object

You can just ```py
if fullmatch(...):
...

Since it's either Match or None

[left dew]

ohh okay

can i do if fullmatch(splitlist)?

        order = message.content.split(",")
        split_list = [word for item in order for word in item.split()]
        split_list.remove("!order")
        splitlist = ','.join(split_list)```

[vale wing]

Just pass the whole arguments string

Also for god's sake use commands framework

[left dew]

so just message.content?

[vale wing]

on_message hurts hard

[left dew]

its the best

[vale wing]

@bot.command()
async def cmd(ctx: commands.Context, *, text: str):
    process(text)

And the text will be everything after command

Use it instead, why parse manually when smart people who made the lib already implemented it for you

And not only parsing

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

[left dew]

can i just do text.content?

or is it just text

[vale wing]

No you can't, it is a string, not instance of Message

[left dew]

thanks it works now

have a nice christmas

[unreal pilot]

first of all

refrain from using builtin types are var names

just do _id f.e.

[vale wing]

That's actually internal discord.py code

[unreal pilot]

2nd, id does not have a value

[unreal pilot]

odd

Nah it's just that nobody cares about id function

ik, but its still bad practice

can you show more context instead of these cut out lines

[unreal pilot]

well, message_admins is None

meaning your passed id is incorrect

to get the admins message

[vale wing]

Please print

• message
• message.id
• message_admins
• message_admins.id

[unreal pilot]

this is where your error is at

[unreal pilot]

bro, its clear. Message is None

fetch_message didnt return a discord.Message object

webhookmessage*

[slate swan]

bruh

[vale wing]

Would be AttributeError 🤷‍♂️

[unreal pilot]

ok then dont listen

want to see how i fetch my messages which returns None?

for an incorrect message id

[slate swan]

my message id is correct

[vale wing]

Ok good luck figuring this out 👌

[slate swan]

sec bro

[unreal pilot]

youre right, tho i have never seen a message object without a message id

[slate swan]

@vale wing@unreal pilot I deleted the highlighted code and everything worked

[maiden fable]

Ig because there was another condition which wasn't being fulfilled due to an absence of else block? Idk that's what explains it

[slate swan]

I spent hours trying to do it and that's the only thing that worked.

[maiden fable]

Wait what the heck why are u tryna edit the module files.....?

[unreal pilot]

make a pull request for this

for an actual proper solution xd

seems like Object(self.channel.id) is None

very odd

[unreal pilot]

yea he shouldnt, but it seems like a discord.WebhookMessage issue

[vale wing]

Bro edited internals

You might have found a bug 🤯

[hushed galleon]

a bug in py-cord that is

https://github.com/Pycord-Development/pycord/blob/v2.4.1/discord/webhook/async_.py#L1827
when the message channel is a PartialMessageable, which i believe only happens if the webhook was created with partial()/from_url() or the guilds intent is off, it defines the _thread_id attribute which could be None, but the WebhookMessage.edit/delete methods assume that _thread_id isn't None

[naive briar]

Great

[hushed galleon]

according to the git blame it looks like a 2 year old bug as well

remember kids, don't be a lazy type-hinter!

[hushed galleon]

bug report filed: Pycord-Development/pycord#2298
in the mean time i suggest you try to retrieve the webhook from TextChannel using .webhooks() which shouldn't have the same issues, or continue using your own fork until they release a fix

you can also use the message returned by send() to edit the message, rather than trying to fetch it twice

[lament depot]

GitHub

[pycord] #2298 TypeError when editing a fetched message from a partial webhook

[left dew]

what does this error mean?
TypeError: View.to_components() missing 1 required positional argument: 'self'

[slate swan]

the method didn't receive an implicit first argument, likely because you called it on the class instead of on an instance

[hushed galleon]

a full traceback is more useful, but i'd wager a guess that you passed a View class directly to send(view=) rather than instantiating the view first, i.e. py view = discord.ui.View() view.add_item(MyButton(...)) await ctx.send(..., view=view)

[left dew]

i just forgot the brackets on my view

[slate swan]

how use self?

[hushed galleon]

that's a bug in their documentation, self is automatically given when you call the method on an Embed instance

[slate swan]

?

[hushed galleon]

what about it?

[slate swan]

I want the name not to change.

when edit message

[hushed galleon]

ah, you'll need to copy whatever name it had beforehand

[slate swan]

name = embed.fields[index].name?

[hushed galleon]

yeah something like that

[slate swan]

it is works, thanks

[lean shard]

Hello! if anyone's around, would they be willing to look at my code in https://discord.com/channels/267624335836053506/1187854689983795311
I know the thread is closed, and I'll reposted if someone asks. I didn't want to spam with the same question

[slate swan]

What is the problem

[lean shard]

1. Since the interaction fails on my SessionAction buttons, the disable function doesn't pop off
2. I feel that there's a better why to do what I'm doing, and I hope I've done enough code to give folks a sense of what I'm trying to do

Thank you

[shrewd vapor]

Hello, how use Cogs and slash command inside ?

[lean shard]

Did I answer your question?

[hushed galleon]

you might find it easier to call the corresponding method from DoingStuff directly in SessionAction rather than waiting for the view, but regardless, the reason it says "interaction failed" is because discord expects you to respond to the interaction, whether that be interaction.response.send_message(), edit_message(), or defer()

if you really don't want your view to perform the action directly, you can store the given interaction as an attribute and retrieve it in your command, i.e. ```py
class MyView(discord.ui.View):
@discord.ui.button(label="Click me!")
async def on_click(self, interaction, button):
self.interaction = interaction
self.stop()

view = MyView()
await ctx.send(..., view=view)

await view.wait()

Give some appropriate response

await view.interaction.response.edit_message(content="Do you want to continue?", view=ConfirmView())```

[lean shard]

I'll give that a try, thank you so much!

[hushed galleon]

though if it didn't disable your buttons despite having not responded, that might suggest your bot didn't receive the interaction at all? or the view somehow stopped listening before wait() could return

[lean shard]

interesting and slightly annoying

I see you using on_click, assuming that's a builtin method?

[hushed galleon]

nah i just named it like that cause it makes sense for the example

[shrewd vapor]

How make slash commands in cog ?

[hushed galleon]

with discord.py? use the @app_commands.command() decorator

https://fallendeity.github.io/discord.py-masterclass/slash-commands/#slash-commands-in-cogs has an example too

[shrewd vapor]

Oh ok ty

[lean shard]

That makes sense, and it works well enough. Now i need to figure out how to get that selection to return a string that I can use for other stuff

[shrewd vapor]

Its the first time i try cogs

    @app_commands.command(name = "ping", description = "See the latency of the bot")
    @commands.command(name="ping", description="See the latency of the bot")
    async def ping(self, ctx: commands.Context):
        embed = discord.Embed(title="__**Latency**__", colour=discord.Color.dark_purple())
        embed.add_field(name="Time Latency :", value=f"`{round(self.bot.latency * 1000)} ms`")
        embed.set_footer(text=f'Requested by {ctx.author} | ID-{ctx.author.id}')
        await ctx.send(embed=embed)

This can work with slash command and prefix command ?

[hushed galleon]

no, you'll need to use hybrid commands instead
https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/commands.html#hybrid-commands
(@commands.hybrid_command() in cogs)

[shrewd vapor]

hmmm, ok i go try ty

I don't see my command here

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
    await bot.add_cog(HelperCog(bot))
    await setup_hook()
    print(f"{bot.user.name} has connected to Discord!")

@bot.event
async def setup_hook():
    await bot.tree.sync()```

Its correct for refresh slash command ?

[hushed galleon]

on_ready runs after setup_hook (which btw you shouldn't be manually calling in on_ready), but in order for sync() to see your cog command, your cog has to be added first

in other words you should add the cog in setup_hook() instead

[shrewd vapor]

intents = discord.Intents.all()
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix = commands.when_mentioned_or("d!"), description = "A discord bot made with love by icetea_lemon", intents = intents)


@bot.event
async def on_ready():
    await setup_hook()
    print(f"{bot.user.name} has connected to Discord!")

@bot.event
async def setup_hook():
    await bot.add_cog(HelperCog(bot))
    await bot.tree.sync()```

Like that ?

[hushed galleon]

the bot.tree.sync you had earlier was correct

[shrewd vapor]

mb

[hushed galleon]

i wouldn't recommend calling setup_hook in on_ready though

setup_hook's meant to only be called once during login, and discord.py does that for you

[shrewd vapor]

I don't need to call the function ? she call herself ?

[hushed galleon]

@bot.event is assigning the setup_hook method to your bot which lets discord.py call it automatically

[shrewd vapor]

Ok its good i have remove the call and discord call the function when he login the app

But now i need to wait my command appear in my server...

[hushed galleon]

uhh you shouldn't have to wait that long...

[shrewd vapor]

The command don't appear

This is my main

import discord
from discord.ext import commands, tasks
from discord import app_commands
from cogs.helper import HelperCog

intents = discord.Intents.all()
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix = commands.when_mentioned_or("d!"), description = "A discord bot made with love by icetea_lemon", intents = intents)


@bot.event
async def on_ready():
    print(f"{bot.user.name} has connected to Discord!")

@bot.event
async def setup_hook():
    await bot.add_cog(HelperCog(bot))
    await bot.tree.sync()
    print("Cog loaded && slash commands synced")

bot.run("")```

And my cog
```py
import discord
from discord.ext import commands
from discord import app_commands

class HelperCog(commands.Cog):
    def __init__(self, bot):
        self.bot = bot
        
    @commands.hybrid_command(name = "ping", description = "Get the bot's latency")
    async def ping(self, ctx: commands.Context):
        embed = discord.Embed(title="__**Latency**__", colour=discord.Color.dark_purple())
        embed.add_field(name="Time Latency :", value=f"`{round(self.bot.latency * 1000)} ms`")
        embed.set_footer(text=f'Requested by {ctx.author} | ID-{ctx.author.id}')
        await ctx.send(embed=embed)```

[hushed galleon]

seems fine to me, maybe try restarting discord to see if your command shows up?

[shrewd vapor]

Ok i try

Oh yes work ty

[robust finch]

there is a error ?

import interactions

bot = interactions.Client(
    token="",

)

@interactions.slash_command(
name="my_first_command",
    description="This is the first command I made!",
async def my_first_command(ctx: interactions.CommandContext):
    await ctx.send("Hi there!")
)
bot.start()```

[graceful ermine]

Hey, I'm trying to make a discord bot that pings my server and for some reason it shows that my port and IP is unreachable, how can I make it reachable?

@tasks.loop(seconds=10)
async def check_status():

        await channel.purge(limit=6)
        await channel.send(embed=sever_up_embed)
    except ConnectionRefusedError:
        await channel.purge(limit=6)
        await channel.send(embed=sever_down_embed)

[golden portal]

this is more of a #1035199133436354600 but make sure your IP is reachable and port is open if this script is running outside the server

[pale zenith]

Also, consider: https://github.com/py-mine/mcstatus

[drifting arrow]

How can I make a discordbot wait for a button press when I DM the bot?

[graceful ermine]

My server is a Bedrock server would this work still?

[midnight oracle]

How good and flexible is that "Pycord" library?

[sick birch]

personally I haven't heard good things about it but try it out and if it works for you, great

[midnight oracle]

I just ask because I saw that it has an in-built function for multilingual bots

And I wanna implement that in mine, but I have no clue how to get started in the discord.py for multilingual options

[sick birch]

interesting

[midnight oracle]

I thought about a json with the text in different langs

[sick birch]

that would indeed be one way

[midnight oracle]

0.o

any advice xd?

[hushed galleon]

i have a demonstrative bot that uses the stdlib gettext module for translations if you want to look into that, along with a tutorial for gettext in the onboarding
https://github.com/thegamecracks/discord.py-i18n-demo
(src/dpygt/translator.py is how gettext gets integrated with discord.py)

and there's also the fluent-compiler package if you'd rather the use Project Fluent spec over gettext

[midnight oracle]

okay, lemme check

[agile idol]

how to do slash cmd?

[blazing condor]

i know of 2 main ways

• using discord.Client and manage the commanTree on your own

• Using discord.ext.commands.Bot and using cogs to create the commands.

i would recommend using commands.Bot and cogs

[agile idol]

oke thankz dude

[agile idol]

how to set folders

[blazing condor]

could you specify more.

[agile idol]

the cmds add cogs folder so that like how do ?

[blazing condor]

cogs

[agile idol]

helo

how set like this

[final iron]

Set like what?

[agile idol]

mention and auto repond

[final iron]

Detect the message with an on_message event -> Check if the message mentions a user with the discord.Message.mentions property -> If it does, see if the mentioned user has a response setup -> Pull the response from the database and send it

[agile idol]

icant understand

what code use this

[final iron]

Are you asking for the code for it?

[agile idol]

yess

[agile idol]

yes code

[final iron]

This is a server meant for learning. Nobody is going to spoonfeed you the code

[agile idol]

hmm

[final iron]

We can, and will assist you in creating the code, but nobody is going to entirely write it for you

If you have any questions feel free to ask

[vale wing]

Yeah yeah

As a comically large spoon feeder I confirm

Hello guys…python noob here…I’m learning how to code a discord bot with the aid of chat gpt…anyone here bored with free time wanna coach a noob? So far I have a compliment feature and a broken uno game feature that I’m working on

Is everything in the code above correct on the part of the "aiohttp" library?

[fast musk]

looks to be the correct format. Is there an error that is causing your exception clause to kick in?

[vague junco]

There is no error, I just decided to make sure that I did everything right (I just started learning aiohttp)

[fast musk]

yup. I tend to like to use discord's error handlers instead of try/excepts in the command handlers though

[vague junco]

@cat.error?

[fast musk]

yeah

that is just a personal preference though

The code will work as is

[vague junco]

[fast musk]

I tend to make my command handlers as light as humanly possible

I'd actually more than likely refactor out the aiohttp request as well 😄

[vague junco]

Hehe

[graceful ermine]

Hey, thanks for helping but How can I make this into a whole number instead of a float?

I'll round then

You can just use the round function

[graceful ermine]

[drifting arrow]

How do i setup a "wait for button press" event?

i've tried several different things and nothing works ;-;

[hushed galleon]

assuming you're using views, the most basic option is to use its wait()/stop() methods
https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/v2.3.2/examples/views/confirm.py#L29-L33

[unkempt canyon]

examples/views/confirm.py lines 29 to 33

@discord.ui.button(label='Confirm', style=discord.ButtonStyle.green)
async def confirm(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, button: discord.ui.Button):
    await interaction.response.send_message('Confirming', ephemeral=True)
    self.value = True
    self.stop()```

[hushed galleon]

actually i guess the callback itself is what one might consider as "waiting for a button press", but a suitable solution depends on what you want to do

[drifting arrow]

I'm trying to make a ticket bot (I know, original!).
And I want it to be so when you DM the bot, it replies with "what type of ticket" and several buttons, and when u press 1 it does the thing associated with the button

im at the "get what button u press" stage

I guess I could just do everything inside the button/interaction? 🤔

[sick birch]

yes

each button has it's own function so it should be pretty easy

[midnight oracle]

tip: try shorting the ping

kinda long number

[slate swan]

Read the message again, it's exactly what they asked for

[candid flume]

Hey all, so I am trying to create a temporary voice channel thing, where once everyone has left, it deletes the channel however only problem I'm having is that, when people leave by clicking the disconnect button, once the last person does it the channel doesn't get deleted, however if they join a different voice channel, it does, is there any way to fix it?

[golden portal]

what's the code that you've tried?

[candid flume]

@commands.Cog.listener()
async def on_voice_state_update(self, member:discord.Member, before: discord.VoiceState, after: discord.VoiceState):
    possible_channel_name = f'{member.name}\'s Channel'

    if after.channel.name == 'Create a Channel':
        tempchan = await after.channel.clone(name=f'{member.name}\'s Channel', reason='{member.name} created a channel.')
        await member.move_to(tempchan)

    if before.channel:
        if before.channel.name == possible_channel_name:
            if len(before.channel.members) == 0:
                await before.channel.delete()

[golden portal]

do you not get any errors? after.channel can be None when you leave a vc instead of moving to another vc

[candid flume]

uhh no errors no

[golden portal]

i think it's probably getting silenced somehow, because after.channel will be none when you disconnect a vc, so you need to fix that if statement by just str your vc obj instead of using .name
if str(after.channel) == 'Create a Channel:'

[candid flume]

that isn't the channel i'm trying to delete, or am i wrong?

i wanted to delete the channel that has been created after joining

[golden portal]

im talking about your first if statement, the bottom if statement is fine

if it errors in your first if statement, your bottom statement isn't ran

[candid flume]

might need to use some try statements

[golden portal]

you can just avoid that entirely by casting to str to get the name

[candid flume]

you were entirely right, thank you :)

one more thing tho, i wanted to create them in a specific category, i tried just feeding the catID but that didn't work

[golden portal]

what code did you tried?

[candid flume]

literally just passing category=id in the tempchan = await after.channel.clone(name=f'{member.name}\'s Channel')

[golden portal]

yea clone doesnt have that unfortunately, need to edit the vc, ```py
tempchan = await channel.clone(...)
await tempchan.edit(category=discord.Object(your category id))

[candid flume]

gotcha

appreciated very much, thank you

[golden portal]

welcome

[candid flume]

back again, same issue as before it won't leave the channel when disconnecting, i assume it's because i edited what category it's in?

[golden portal]

na that wouldn't trigger any error, what's the current code now?

[candid flume]

@commands.Cog.listener()
async def on_voice_state_update(self, member:discord.Member, before: discord.VoiceState, after: discord.VoiceState):
    possible_channel_name = f'{member.name}\'s Channel'

    if str(after.channel.name) == 'Create a Channel':
        tempchan = await after.channel.clone(name=f'{member.name}\'s Channel')
        await tempchan.edit(category=discord.Object(1188678397442916473))
        await member.move_to(tempchan)
        
        self.channels_info.append({member.id: {
            'channel': tempchan,
            "channel_id": tempchan.id,
            'name': possible_channel_name
        }})

    if before.channel:
        if before.channel.name == possible_channel_name:
            if len(before.channel.members) == 0:
                await before.channel.delete()

pretty much the same really, just added the tempchan.edit

[golden portal]

the if statement is still error prone here str(after.channel.name), should just be str(after.channel)

[candid flume]

ah, i see sorry read the previous statement wrong, 3 am atm ahah

[golden portal]

oke, incase you miss it in the docs

[tepid dagger]

how do you check if a discord.Member isi a bot

You can't, all you can do is send a separate message in the channel

Which is just like normal with

!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**.

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ui.Button

class discord.ui.Button(*, style=<ButtonStyle.secondary: 2>, label=None, disabled=False, custom_id=None, url=None, emoji=None, row=None)```
Represents a UI button.

New in version 2.0.

[slate swan]

Has no user attribute

[fiery girder]

its a class view

but i want to check if the interaction is from a specific user

how do i check that then

[slate swan]

I'd be a good idea to show your code

[fiery girder]

yea sure

oh it gliched again wait lemme do the fix

Could've guessed by the error saying your interaction is a Button and not an Interaction

[old vine]

I am trying to code a discord modal function with these features..

i am trying to a slash command /getrole, once executed, the modal box thingy will pop up and a random one of 5 questions will be displayed:

How many users did our repository reach in 2023?
Users from how many countries are on our Discord server?
What month did we reach 20,000 members on our Discord server?
How many members did our r/IGCSE subreddit gain in 2023?```

after they guess the question correctly, a role is added to their profile. if they do not get it correctly, it should say 'Incorrect answer!'

[slate swan]

And, where are you stuck?

We don't code for you, we help with your errors etc.

[old vine]

stuck at creating the modal

!e

[slate swan]

I literally already did it, why flooding the channel with nonsense

[old vine]

pyprint(len("How many members did our r/IGCSE subreddit gain in 2023?"))

[slate swan]

Your label for question 3 is like 68 characters long, it should be max 45

How can I ignore all other attributes and only log when a member joins or leaves a voice channel?

        voice_logs_channel = client.get_channel(1017103688810119258)

        if before.channel:
            embed = discord.Embed(
                title="Member left voice channel",
                description=f"{member.mention} left #{before.channel.name}",
                timestamp=datetime.datetime.now(),
                color=discord.Color.red()
            )
            embed.set_footer(text=f"ID: {member.id}")
            embed.set_author(name=member, icon_url=member.display_avatar.url)
            if voice_logs_channel:
                await voice_logs_channel.send(embed=embed)

        if after.channel:
            embed = discord.Embed(
                title="Member joined voice channel",
                description=f"{member.mention} joined #{after.channel.name}",
                timestamp=datetime.datetime.now(),
                color=discord.Color.green()
            )
            embed.set_footer(text=f"ID: {member.id}")
            embed.set_author(name=member, icon_url=member.display_avatar.url)
            if voice_logs_channel:
                await voice_logs_channel.send(embed=embed)```

[spark nimbus]

how can i check in a server if there is a channel named for example:"random-channel-name"

[fading marlin]

You can use utils.get and Guild.text_channels

[pale zenith]

By checking if before and after are different

[slate swan]

iterate through the guilds text channels then use the .name attribute to get the name

example:

for channel in guild.text_channels:
    if channel.name == "a name i want to look for":
        # do something....

[pale zenith]

Utils.get is better though

[slate swan]

yes

[young dagger]

Do you mean something like this?

    if before.channel != after.channel:

        if before.channel:
        # Do something here

        if after.channel:
        # Do something else

[pale zenith]

Yes

Or similar. You may need to add extra checks depending on what you wanna do

[young dagger]

I just wanna check when they join and leave a voice channel, nothing else.

[pale zenith]

E.g.
if before different to after, but neither are none: moved from before to after.
if before is none: member just joined the after.
if after is none: member left the before.

[midnight oracle]

Yup! Thanks

[hushed galleon]

its a bit better to rely on the followup webhook given by the interaction to send more messages, since interactions bypass send permissions that would normally affect TextChannel.send()
(or in other words, if the command was used in a channel where the bot couldn't send messages, TextChannel.send() would fail while interaction.followup.send() wouldn't)

see also:
https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/interactions/api.html#discord.Interaction.followup
https://discord.com/developers/docs/interactions/receiving-and-responding#followup-messages

[young dagger]

I don't understand this. Can you show me an example?

[sick birch]

since we're only interested in the channels let's say before = before.channel and after = after.channel:

• if (before is not None) and (after is not None) and (before != after), then the user was moved from one channel to another
• if (before is None) and (after is not None), then the user joined a channel
• if (before is not None) and (after is None), then the user left a channel

hrmm... perhaps some parenthesis would help

[midnight oracle]

Okay okay! I'll take a look

[young dagger]

So something like this should do the work?

    if (before is not None) and (after is not None) and (before != after) or (before is None) and (after is not None):
        # Do something here

    if (before is not None) and (after is None):
        # Do something else
