[sick birch]

the first one could probably just be condensed down into if after:

[young dagger]

if after: will still log mutes etc

[sick birch]

we're assuming that after = after.channel

if not, if after.channel will work

just a shorthand so I didn't have to type out after.channel and before.channel a million times here

[young dagger]

Same result

[sick birch]

hm, i see what you're saying

your original idea should be fine

[young dagger]

I only want count events related to joining or switching voice channels and leaving voice channels

[young dagger]

if before.channel and after.channel is None:
   # They left a voice channel, nothing else

if before.channel is None and after.channel:
    # They joined a voice channel, nothing else

if before.channel and after.channel and before.channel != after.channel:
    # They switched voice channels, nothing else

[sick birch]

!or-gotcha

[unkempt canyon]

The or-gotcha

When checking if something is equal to one thing or another, you might think that this is possible:

# Incorrect...
if favorite_fruit == 'grapefruit' or 'lemon':
    print("That's a weird favorite fruit to have.")

While this makes sense in English, it may not behave the way you would expect. In Python, you should have complete instructions on both sides of the logical operator.

So, if you want to check if something is equal to one thing or another, there are two common ways:

# Like this...
if favorite_fruit == 'grapefruit' or favorite_fruit == 'lemon':
    print("That's a weird favorite fruit to have.")

# ...or like this.
if favorite_fruit in ('grapefruit', 'lemon'):
    print("That's a weird favorite fruit to have.")

[sick birch]

You're using and but it's the same concept - common mistake

oh i think i misread

[young dagger]

For which condition?

[sick birch]

i think that should be fine but might be better to be explicit

[young dagger]

So how would you do it?

[sick birch]

if before.channel is not None and after.channel is None:
   # They left a voice channel, nothing else

if before.channel is None and after.channel is not None:
    # They joined a voice channel, nothing else

if before.channel is not None and after.channel is not None and before.channel != after.channel:
    # They switched voice channels, nothing else

just more readable imo

[young dagger]

Thanks

[brazen geyser]

hey guyss, can someone please tell me whats wrong with my code

[final iron]

Your indentation in the cog is wrong, and you can't be editing your database like that in the __init__

[brazen geyser]

can you please help me with that, im learning db like 3 days and this is first time adding db to cog, im so confussed

[final iron]

This has nothing to do with SQL. You need to deindent your commands inside the cog by 1 level, and you're trying to use asynchronous functions without awaiting them

[brazen geyser]

okayy, i actually fixed it like this

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/IQSA

do you this its good solution or no?

[final iron]

what's the point of it

Tables only need to be created once

It's also clear you don't actually know what on_ready does

I'd check the docs to clarify

[brazen geyser]

on_ready responds to when the client is ready to use, this should connect to the database and create the table if it is not created, or am i wrong?

[final iron]

That's not what on_ready does

[brazen geyser]

ohh, than im sorry, i so confussed ._.

[slate swan]

How can i make second part of user's link after command variable?
example: https//blabla.com/games/nameofgame?privateserver125-081295-8325- well i want to make that ?privateserver1241902570235 variable so i can put it in result that bot is gonna return back
BTW: that part of link always starts same (with ?privateserver) if that helps

[blazing condor]

the event is called/triggered when the client has finished preparing data that is received from discord.

[brazen geyser]

oh okayyy, so is there any better way to connect db to cog?

[graceful ermine]

Hey, how can I fix this issue?

tickets2 needs to have a setup function that executes commands.Bot.load_cog()

I'd view the docs for information on how to create cogs/extensions

[dreamy dune]

you don't as he is importing it normally, right

[final iron]

Oh yeah the naming messed me up

Seems like it’s unable to import ticket2 from wherever he’s running it

[graceful ermine]

I fixed it already

[blazing condor]

i had this idea to create an event for new years, but unsure how to go about it, i would like to get the last 10 seconds of the time and once that time is up it will send a gif URL of some sort to the channel, how would ya'll go about this.

[midnight oracle]

You mean sending a message at 12:00 PM?

[blazing condor]

mhmm

[midnight oracle]

Just make the bot check for that time with a async function and when the time comes, send the GIF

[sick birch]

!d discord.ext.tasks.loop

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.tasks.loop

@discord.ext.tasks.loop(*, seconds=..., minutes=..., hours=..., time=..., count=None, reconnect=True, name=None)```
A decorator that schedules a task in the background for you with optional reconnect logic. The decorator returns a [`Loop`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/tasks/index.html#discord.ext.tasks.Loop).

[sick birch]

note the time kwarg

[blazing condor]

Thanks!

[rugged shadow]

i think there's a scheduler in dpy

let me read the docs

yeah

[old vine]

i am trying to make a command where it sends 5 questions and then once the user replies to the message with the answers, it checks the db with the answers if they are correct, the user gets the role

how do i make it?

[rugged shadow]

!d discord.Client.wait_for

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Client.wait\_for

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

Waits for a WebSocket event to be dispatched.

This could be used to wait for a user to reply to a message, or to react to a message, or to edit a message in a self-contained way.

The `timeout` parameter is passed onto [`asyncio.wait_for()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#asyncio.wait_for). By default, it does not timeout. Note that this does propagate the [`asyncio.TimeoutError`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-exceptions.html#asyncio.TimeoutError) for you in case of timeout and is provided for ease of use.

In case the event returns multiple arguments, a [`tuple`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#tuple) containing those arguments is returned instead. Please check the [documentation](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord-api-events) for a list of events and their parameters.

This function returns the **first event that meets the requirements**...

[rugged shadow]

send the questions and wait for the message events

[old vine]

how? smth like on_message?

[rugged shadow]

# Send questions
...

# Wait for answers
def check(m) -> bool:
    return m.author.id == player.id and m.channel.id == ctx.channel.id
answers_msg = await bot.wait_for("message", check=check)

# Do something with it

I'm trying to check if user has a specific role, i'm probably doing it wrong is there any way to check if they have it?

[fiery girder]

you can do

if role in user.roles:
  commands....

you did that alr my bad

[candid flume]

yeahh that's what i was about to say haha

i was going to try the decorator

but i've had no luck with those.

[fiery girder]

you can do

role = discord.Object(id=)

[candid flume]

'function' object is not iterable - this is what i got

[fiery girder]

or you can do

for role in user.roles:
  if role.id == YOURID|

[candid flume]

i'll give it a go

[fiery girder]

and at the end of the if statement add a break statement so it wouldnt go for long

[candid flume]

that didn't work either sadly

[fiery girder]

hmm

[candid flume]

okay managed to get the decorator to work, but it doesn't send an error message

maybe it gives some other error

make a global on_error and make it print an error

[fiery girder]

    if role is None:
        await ctx.send("Role not found.")

try this]

you can also use an if statement

[candid flume]

why are you giving me gpt resposnes dawg.

[fiery girder]

it helps

sometimes if you are stuck

[candid flume]

sigh, if i wanted gpt i would've gone there myself

[fiery girder]

ok then lemme get one from my brain

[candid flume]

the decorator works @app_commands.checks.has_role(1189185186789851187)

but it's not outputting any errors

[fiery girder]

oh yea cause it dont even let the user run the command if the role is not there

it will output in a global command error

something like this

i have this setup for most of the errors it can occur

[candid flume]

if you look at my code, it's practically the same

[fiery girder]

but its not a global command error

its only for one command specificly

[candid flume]

is on_command_error an event?

[fiery girder]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/3V4Q

[fiery girder]

yes

like on_message or on_ready

[candid flume]

alr one sec

[fiery girder]

async def on_command_error(self, ctx, error):

it gives a ctx and error

[candid flume]

@commands.Cog.listener()
async def on_command_error(self, error, interaction:discord.Interaction):
    try:
        if isinstance(error, commands.MissingAnyRole):
            await interaction.response.send_message('You do not have the permissions to use this command.', ephemeral=True)
    except Exception as e:
        print(e)

i've updated it to this, yet no errors

[fiery girder]

i think its an event

[fiery girder]

see the one i did

works like a charm

[slate swan]

Hello, is there a way to check if a user is a nitro user, then fetch their primary profile theme color, else grab their banner color?

[candid flume]

yours is for regular commands, mine is for slash commands

[fiery girder]

its for hybrid

[fiery girder]

i got ths for GPT

@bot.command()
async def get_user_colors(ctx, user: discord.User):
    nitro_user = user.premium_since is not None
    banner_color = user.accent_color

    if nitro_user:
        theme_color = user.color
        await ctx.send(f"{user.name} has Nitro! Theme Color: {theme_color}")
    else:
        await ctx.send(f"{user.name} does not have Nitro. Banner Color: {banner_color}")```

[slate swan]

gpt actually works for discord.py? o.o since when

ity's always been inaccurate

[fiery girder]

wait lemme check the docs rq

[fiery girder]

it does work

[slate swan]

ty

[fiery girder]

its same for both

[candid flume]

okay fair, mine still is not working haha

[fiery girder]

@candid flume you dont need an interaction you need a (ctx, error)

ctx comes first error secound

then you need an exception

elif isinstance(error, commands.MissingPermissions):
            await ctx.reply(
                embed=Embed(
                    title="Error",
                    description=f"You Do Not Have The Required Permissions To Use This Command \nPermissions Needed:{error.missing_permissions} ",
                    color=Color.red(),
                )
            )
``` THEN YOU NEED THIS

just use MissingRole intead of Permission

[candid flume]

yeah that didn't work either

[fiery girder]

bruh

[candid flume]

that's what i said

[fiery girder]

it should work

[candid flume]

it doesn't

[fiery girder]

works like a charm for me

Yes, because you’re using prefixed commands. OP is not

[fiery girder]

i use hybrid

[final iron]

Which is still a prefixed command…

@candid flume
You’ll need to subclass app_commands.CommandTree and overwrite the on_error method, then pass that tree into your bot constructor

!d discord.app_commands.CommandTree.on_error

[unkempt canyon]

discord.app\_commands.CommandTree.on\_error

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

A callback that is called when any command raises an [`AppCommandError`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.AppCommandError).

The default implementation logs the exception using the library logger if the command does not have any error handlers attached to it.

To get the command that failed, [`discord.Interaction.command`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.Interaction.command) should be used.

how to get the hex color of a users profile?

!d discord.User.accent_color

[unkempt canyon]

discord.User.accent\_color

property accent_color```
Returns the user’s accent color, if applicable.

A user’s accent color is only shown if they do not have a banner. This will only be available if the user explicitly sets a color.

There is an alias for this named [`accent_colour`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.User.accent_colour).

New in version 2.0.

Note

This information is only available via [`Client.fetch_user()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Client.fetch_user).

[slate swan]

I’m getting None instead of the hex color

Read the note as well as the description of the attribute

[slate swan]

rx = user.accent_color or (await self.bot.fetch_user(user.id)).accent_color

I did

[shrewd apex]

its required for the user to set an accent color

• no banner

[slate swan]

how to solve

why this is empty

[sick birch]

did you check anything else?

[slate swan]

Ok this have Administrator role

and its in my server, but my bot just work in Private Message

[sick birch]

Can you send a screenshot of the whole thing please

[slate swan]

What i should do

[slate swan]

what

[sick birch]

it looks cropped. Also the redirect url only shows up if you choose some other stuff

if you just choose bot it's not supposed to show up

[slate swan]

raise PrivilegedIntentsRequired(exc.shard_id) from None

[sick birch]

this is something else entirely

hm?

i'm trying to make my bot can check messages from my server and not for only pv

the first problem is solved (create a url gen)

Intents is different from scopes.

Ok lets say

intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.message_content = True
intents.guild_messages = True``` for a ping pong system

its enough?

because with py intents = discord.Intents.default() intents.all() is working only in pv and not in my server

how to solve?

[final iron]

Follow what the error says.

[slate swan]

dont have more errors

its just dont working in my server

only pv

[final iron]

You shared an error above.

[slate swan]

yes you said "Intents is different from scopes." and i understand the error.

but the main error now is, why my bot work only in private messages and not in my server with invite

[final iron]

You need the message_content intent.

[indigo flicker]

dude

import discord

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

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

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

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

client.run('hahahha')

whats wrong here its a basic code

but still

aint running , pls ignore the client.run part

[slate fractal]

dude

[raven jetty]

Do you get an error message?

[indigo flicker]

nah , the bot just doesnt replies with anything

[slate fractal]

can you help me

[slate swan]

where

[indigo flicker]

anyone ?

[slate fractal]

can you help me

[indigo flicker]

?

[slate fractal]

I want to learn programming

[indigo flicker]

freecodecamp

[hushed galleon]

discord a few years ago introduced the message content intent which prevents your bot from receiving the .content of messages unless you have it enabled (or you mention the bot/direct message it), so you'll need to enable it in the dev portal and in your code to have it work normally

you'll find it here in the dev portal

[rapid forge]

Hey

[slate fractal]

i dont now

[slate swan]

finally omg thank you so muhc

[indigo flicker]

thank you soo much kind sir

its working now , ive learnt

[formal ginkgo]

thats a good website

[ashen notch]

When it comes to buttons in Discord, is it possible to show a button as disabled for some user but enabled for others? Or is it just globally disabled or enabled?

[hushed galleon]

everyone sees the same thing, so you might want to filter those users in the callback or interaction_check

[ashen notch]

Yeah, that's what I'm currently doing. Someone just mentioned it off hand and I didn't know if it was a thing

Cheers!

[final iron]

Do you still need help?

[compact ivy]

Quick question, it does regard discord, but I'm not sure where else to put this, so please direct me if needed

In a discord server, we have a channel where people buy/sell a crypto. I'm looking to scan for when a message contains the words WTC or WTB, then I need to scan for the price they put
Only issue is that people format their messages differently.
Examples:

WTB 1k FBX 0.1
WTB 50,000 FBX $0.1
WTB 100,000 at 0.075 / Dms are open to offers
wtb 5k or 10k for 0.1 
wts 0.2

etc

Is there a sane way to check a message for the number, or am I better off setting it to a command?
I'd rather not make it a command, as that adds complexity to something that needs to be as simple as possible

[sick birch]

make it a command

hard to parse irregular text like that without AI or language learning models

[rugged shadow]

make a regex

[sick birch]

turns out regular expressions doesn't work so well on irregular expressions 😄

I can think of many ways users would word this where the regex would get confused

[compact ivy]

Ahhh, that sucks, but I appreciate it

I’ll talk with the server owner, see if it’s feasible still!

[final iron]

Yeah, as previously mentioned regex and or/and an AI model might work, but it's not guaranteed

Something like a slash command would be a lot easier to parse

[vale wing]

And in context of financial operations bot such mistakes are not tolerable so yeah command is the ONLY way

[compact ivy]

The operations themselves won’t go through the bot, it’s only for reference

However, after talking with the owner, a command is possible to be used!

[loud junco]

anyone has any resource on how to self host and connect database to self host discord bot? (i tried to do this with documentation but its not working)
thanks😭 (a vid or a full guide will be best)

[vale wing]

You self host on what and what db are you using

[loud junco]

i self host it
and im using postgres but at this point any db works for me

[slate swan]

!rules

[unkempt canyon]

Rules

The rules and guidelines that apply to this community can be found on our rules page. We expect all members of the community to have read and understood these.

[loud junco]

no way this breaks the rule 😭 (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

its literally about how to connect db to my bot

[finite salmon]

are you looking for cloud database or you're trying to use local host?

[loud junco]

local host

i dont have a wifi
will cloud database consume more mobile data than local host?

if cloud database consumes less than i will prefer cloud database

[finite salmon]

Cloud db will use more data

[loud junco]

then i will go with local host then

[finite salmon]

you should check out some async postgresql libraries

lile aiopg

[loud junco]

but idk how to set up postgresql locally

i tried using the postgres app but its just too complicated (its called pgadmin3 if not mistaken)

[finite salmon]

i havent used postgres on local machine so idk but if you're just doing it locally maybe you could try out some other database

like mysql or sqlite

but the async version

[loud junco]

u have any tutorial vid or guide for it?
i tried finding it but cant find any

[finite salmon]

https://www.w3schools.com/python/python_mysql_getstarted.asp

for mysql

[loud junco]

thanks!

[finite salmon]

https://aiomysql.readthedocs.io/en/stable/
This is aiomysql the async version

if you understand how to use the normal MySQL it shouldn't be hard to learn this

its similar enough

[finite salmon]

you also need to learn the SQL language to run sql commands
https://www.w3schools.com/sql/

[vale wing]

Local host doesn't say anything, what is the OS

[loud junco]

ik this dw thanks anyways

[loud junco]

window

[vale wing]

Best option is docker

Can even run postgres inside docker

[loud junco]

what is this

[vale wing]

How much ram you got

[loud junco]

how much does it need

idw to use too much ram for it 😭

[vale wing]

Well for basic docker bot hosting see this https://www.pythondiscord.com/pages/guides/python-guides/docker-hosting-guide/

[loud junco]

but docker needs money

[vale wing]

You don't need github actions, just the docker part

[vale wing]

It's free

You just install it

[loud junco]

wait why do i need docker

why dont i just use mysql with my bot

[vale wing]

https://www.docker.com/

[vale wing]

You can run mysql inside docker as well

[loud junco]

but what does it do

[vale wing]

You can run a whole operating system inside docker

[vale wing]

You can go to website and read ☺️

[loud junco]

i read it
but my bot is not that big so its fine

[vale wing]

It doesn't matter lol

[loud junco]

ok whatever
lemme try using it
thanks :D

[vale wing]

Trust me docker is a tool worthy to learn

[loud junco]

its for running it for 247 isit

[vale wing]

Yeah

• safe environment and don't need to flood your pc with databases installations

[loud junco]

but im not going to host it 247

im using a laptop

[vale wing]

You can shutdown it any time

[loud junco]

i see ok

[hardy geyser]

how to setup coustom status

[hardy geyser]

anyone know?

nobady ?

[vale wing]

Yeah I know 😀

So basically

You don't

[vapid parcel]

Where to learn just Interaction commands.

[vale wing]

For bot you can set "watching" or "streaming"

[vapid parcel]

Cuz discord doesnt allow prefix commands no more ig

[vale wing]

They do but you need messages content intent

[vapid parcel]

"As prefix commands are not blacklisted the message content intent will not be granted for bots still using prefix commands."

Thats basically saying they will not give me my intent until i switch

[vale wing]

Anyways answering original question, I think this is the guide since it's still pinned https://gist.github.com/Ash-02014/b6f57065f394b54f43666037ade38d32

[vapid parcel]

404

[vale wing]

Well if you are using intent for something other than prefix commands you can easily get it

[vale wing]

Ight that's a pity

[vapid parcel]

Yeah, but if they know you are using prefix commands... can't they just fully deny you at all costs?

[vale wing]

I don't know up-to-date guide for discord.py, but can give you one for disnake

[vapid parcel]

Thats an idea I had was to just use it on something else, but since they kinda know... then I can't really do much

[vapid parcel]

ew

[vale wing]

No they can't (unless you lied (they actually don't care))

[vapid parcel]

Bruh

[vale wing]

Why such reaction 😤

[vapid parcel]

They were complaining so hard in the emails istg

maybe cuz i only mentioned hybrid

but besides the point!!

[vale wing]

When I was verifying first bot they requested that I would delete all user data that's stored more than 600 days or smth do you think I did that

I actually did

[vapid parcel]

My bots verified

its just the fucking intents 😭

asking for to much 😢

[vale wing]

Yeah had to rewrite that first bot to slash commands, ended up gathering international team from this server

[vapid parcel]

😭

I have hybrid

[vale wing]

Well make them slash 😏

[vapid parcel]

So they would still give the intent if i just mention something else based on the intent? instead of mentioning the hybrid?

[vapid parcel]

Ion wanna learn interaction bro 😭

thats another 10 years of my life down the drain atp 😭

[vale wing]

If you say smth like "my bot needs access to messages content intent because it has function of filtering blacklisted expressions" and then attach some screenshot

[vale wing]

It's not that different (if you use disnake, for dpy it's very different and bad)

[vapid parcel]

rn trying to get my fucking presence Intent

[vapid parcel]

L disnake

[vale wing]

W disnake

[vapid parcel]

not changing everything tbh

to much work imo

I have Server members Intent, which is easy to get, just have a on member join event n on member leave event

then they will accept that

Easiest one of the 3 imo

[vale wing]

Imagine typing interaction.response.send_message can't relate, can just inter.send 😜

[vapid parcel]

ite bro

[vale wing]

Ok just be honest to deez cord 😔

[vapid parcel]

I am tho

i have a card n everything 😭

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1025393215853035664/1189488427905847356/card.png?ex=659e586c&is=658be36c&hm=fd5ad46077a2dd8a67111d6ca9a970ab5fea87cdbf144ca05b64b124d01953b9&

not the best, but thats besides the point

[vale wing]

But what do you needed presences for

[vapid parcel]

profile command

n imma make it to where if you are on dnd, bot wont bother you

adding some other shit to it too.

        if 'online' in status:
            status = '![1514onlineblank](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1170981283191599214.webp?size=128 "1514onlineblank")'

        elif 'dnd' in status:
            status = '![4431dndblank](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1170981286358306916.webp?size=128 "4431dndblank")'
        
        elif 'idle' in status:
            status = '![5204idleblank](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1170981169211379772.webp?size=128 "5204idleblank")'

        elif 'offline' in status:
            status = '![6610invisibleofflineblank](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1170981245572886558.webp?size=128 "6610invisibleofflineblank")'
        ```

heres one :)

cant really do that unless you have presences

also gonna add to see what platform they are on. Pc or Mobile when using the command

[hardy geyser]

Watching

[vale wing]

"The bot requires presence intent to provide better experience to its users. For instance, it automatically configures notifications level based on current user status, adjusts general experience. It is worth mentioning that presence data is not stored and does not get passed to third parties."

[vapid parcel]

W mans

[vale wing]

But actually is it really needed

[vapid parcel]

Yes

ill show u

[vale wing]

Cause I personally wouldn't care if bot showed my status (like cmon I set it by myself)

[vapid parcel]

"We require the usage of the Presence Intent for the "profile" command to display a user's status, We show the user's status with emojis which are in the Testing Server, But to use the correct emoji, We need the usage of the Presence Intent to fetch their status."

This is what I had tho, I added more, didnt copy it tho

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1161349535503749170/1189359618988724305/addtext_com_MTkxMDE2Njg5MQ.png?ex=659de076&is=658b6b76&hm=d9ba7fbe83a59ae1d4e7bd8f60c75a4233d20d6525542716f5a0a31c524c236e&

[vale wing]

One way to do that is pass activity kwarg to Bot constructor

[vapid parcel]

Proof for one.

[vale wing]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot see constructor params

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot

class discord.ext.commands.Bot(command_prefix, *, help_command=<default-help-command>, tree_cls=<class 'discord.app_commands.tree.CommandTree'>, description=None, intents, **options)```
Represents a Discord bot.

This class is a subclass of [`discord.Client`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Client) and as a result anything that you can do with a [`discord.Client`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Client) you can do with this bot.

This class also subclasses [`GroupMixin`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.GroupMixin) to provide the functionality to manage commands.

Unlike [`discord.Client`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Client), this class does not require manually setting a [`CommandTree`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.CommandTree) and is automatically set upon instantiating the class.

async with x Asynchronously initialises the bot and automatically cleans up.

New in version 2.0.

[vapid parcel]

other things I cant really prove XD

[vale wing]

Well what purpose does that feature serve? User can easily access status info from discord

I'm kinda saving you time from discord asking same question

[vapid parcel]

It makes it look cool 😭

adding things that look cool are awesome :)

plus i need the dnd thing, if they are on dnd they cant be bothered

so thats another feature, but my head hurts cuz ive been up all night, so imma sleep XD

[vale wing]

Ok wdym by "be bothered"

[vale wing]

Gn

[vapid parcel]

Bot can not bother user

[finite salmon]

bro what is your status 💀

[vapid parcel]

phub

[vale wing]

Does it spontaneously mention users without their consent

[vapid parcel]

Totally bro 😭

[finite salmon]

insane

[vapid parcel]

real

[vapid parcel]

it has features like with most of my commands it will send a message to the user if blah blah blah

like if warned, or banned, or this or that

[finite salmon]

thats something my bot would do

[vapid parcel]

which if on dnd, we will pass

[vapid parcel]

Real

[finite salmon]

made a human trafficking bot where you can buy members from your servers people get annoyed since every second one or the other user gets bought and pinged

[vapid parcel]

W bot

send link?

[finite salmon]

fr

dms

[vapid parcel]

BET

Welp gn, thanks for helping @vale wing

[finite salmon]

sent

ive stopped developing it for a while now

so there are some unfinished features

[vapid parcel]

Bro actually made the bot

[finite salmon]

fr

do .tutorial to get started with it

[vapid parcel]

I was joking, I thought u were too 😭 not adding it in any servers tho

[finite salmon]

crasy

idm

[vapid parcel]

No offense, but it just has admin for its only perm ya know 😭

[finite salmon]

lmao
Fair enough

not looking forward in promoting the bot anyway

kinda buggy and unfinished

[vapid parcel]

In py?

[finite salmon]

yea

[vapid parcel]

Discord.py?

[finite salmon]

using pycord lib

[vapid parcel]

Nvm

:)

I was gonna offer to help.. but yeah nvm

[finite salmon]

i mean its similar enough

[vapid parcel]

😭

I've only ever used dpy

So idk

[finite salmon]

yeah even I used to use dpy long back and i didn't like it so much so i switched to pycord

and the transition wasn't too hard either

cuz they both have almost the same structure

[vapid parcel]

I've heard next cord is good? But idk atp, I think dpy is best imo

[finite salmon]

except bridge commands i think

[finite salmon]

idk ive heard it was buggy? Maybe it's not so now

[vapid parcel]

Who knows

[finite salmon]

who knows

[vapid parcel]

I was gonna use next cord before I found hybrid commands

But then I found hybrid commands :)

[finite salmon]

I see

Alr ill go now

[vapid parcel]

Lmao

[finite salmon]

bye

[vapid parcel]

Gn

[finite salmon]

night

[vale wing]

I actually have a question 🧐

For first time in century

I made automatic cog reload system, but the problem is my loops stay running and duplicate even though I stop them in cog_unload

!paste

[unkempt canyon]

Pasting large amounts of code

If your code is too long to fit in a codeblock in Discord, you can paste your code here:
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/

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

[vale wing]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/ELIA

In line 19 it used to be loop.stop()

[round maple]

from discord_webhook import DiscordWebhook
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'discord_webhook'

i installed it it says its installed but it doesnt work

[vale wing]

What do you need this module for

[finite salmon]

so basically it reloads the cog at a specific interval?

[vale wing]

No, reload is initiated from external function

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/HAHA lmfao what a paste code

[finite salmon]

i made something similar to that in pycord

for cog in config_values["cog_list"]: # path to the cogs
    self.client.reload_extension(cog)

All of this inside an admin command

I think something similar should be there in dpy too

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/api.html?highlight=reload_extension#discord.ext.commands.Bot.reload_extension

Basically this right? @vale wing

[vale wing]

Ye ig

[finite salmon]

i have no clue what your code does but shit looks overly complicated

[shrewd fjord]

Ah wait a sec, lemme debug something

No luck, working perfectly, @vale wing tried using @tasks.loop(..) normally ? Just for debugging

Ikr 💀

Just saying, for debugging purpose try using @tasks.loop instead of own loop deco

Any shit happens, i remember a code was working today then died tomorrow, literally no change in code, then again working the day after that 💀

[shrewd apex]

hmm iirc importlib.reload is only when u import the stuff as a module like import abc instead from abc import d

still quite useful

[latent pier]

@commands.hybrid_group(name='Antinuke', with_app_command=False, description='Server security module', aliases=['an', 'security'])
@commands.is_owner()
async def antinuke(self, ctx):
        if ctx.subcommand_passed is None:
            embed = discord.Embed(description='''working''')
            embed.set_author(name=f'Security for {ctx.guild.name}', icon_url=ctx.guild.icon_url)
            await ctx.send(embed=embed)

Comamnd isn't executing for some reason idk

[stark nexus]

I know discord bot's banner color it's according the avatar

But i dislike the color

Is it possible to change in code?

[latent pier]

Nope

[stark nexus]

Okay

[fiery girder]

Whats the point of app_commands when you can use hybrid commmands is there an advantage for using app_commands

[latent pier]

app_commands for those who strictly wants their bot to be slash only and they might remove hybrid anytime soon

[vale wing]

That's precisely what it's there for

It reloads modules and not extensions

Cause reloading extensions apparently doesn't reload modules it depends on

[vale wing]

That happens cause of dynamic update

[dreamy dune]

my question why you are using a hybrid command but disabling using it as slash command

[latent pier]

I'm disabling parent command other child commands are not disabled as slash

[fiery girder]

how do i make a app command thats a question cause i was just using hybrid but now i am thinking about moving to app command only cause idk

[shrewd apex]

u mean extensions as in cogs? i was just giving a general remark

[latent pier]

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

[final iron]

this is depreciated

[final iron]

They’re not going to remove hybrid commands lol

What gave you that idea

[hushed galleon]

if you're willing to maintain two different versions of your commands, then sure, use hybrid commands, but of course you have to keep in mind how interactions work differently from message commands

[latent pier]

@final iron This

[hushed galleon]

hybrid commands were released alongside app commands in v2.0, so should we expect app commands to disappear too?

[hot gorge]

hi guys i have basic knowledge of python, sql, and async and i want to learn discord bot dev. any recommendations of how to learn it?

[hushed galleon]

pick a library like discord.py and read their documentation to get started, and also check out the examples on their repository to get a general feel for how the library can be used

and if you find something you don't know, try to look for its corresponding documentation

you can also look at the discord api docs if you want an idea of what discord.py does internally (receiving real-time events from the gateway, registering application commands, etc.)

[sour flicker]

guys i want to learn how to make a telegram bot using python, can you recommend me a good tutorial/course on youtube/ elsewhere for free?

[final iron]

Not sure what he was referring to as slash commands and prefixed commands will not be leaving any time soon

Slash commands will realistically never be removed, and the only way to remove prefixed commands is to remove the message_content intent, which tens of thousands of bots rely on

[final iron]

This channel is for discord bots

You’ll be better off trying your luck in a telegram specific server

[sour flicker]

what would you lose if you help me and answer my question? THANK YOU FOR YOUR GREAT HELP

[final iron]

Nothing lol

I’m saying you’re not going to find many people with telegram knowledge in this channel, as its for discord bots

[sour flicker]

ok, sorry for being mad at you.

[final iron]

[sour flicker]

😂

[compact ivy]

I'm attempting to make a slash command for my bot, with a few restrictions
3 options
1: string equaling either "A", or "B"
2: a positive integer
3: positive float

I can't seem to find how to add any sort of limiters to the options in the discord.py docs, does anyone have any pointers?

[final iron]

So you want 3 separate options, with these restrictions?

[compact ivy]

yes, if at all possible

I'm willing to change frameworks as well, this bot is solely for this command

[final iron]

The first 2 will be easy, but im not sure if the 3rd will be possible on client side

You might just have to accept the value and parse it

[compact ivy]

I can work with that

[final iron]

So for the first one you can use choices

!d discord.app_commands.choices

[unkempt canyon]

discord.app\_commands.choices

@discord.app_commands.choices(**parameters)```
Instructs the given parameters by their name to use the given choices for their choices.

Example...

[final iron]

For the second one you can use Range

!d discord.ext.commands.Range

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Range

class discord.ext.commands.Range```
A special converter that can be applied to a parameter to require a numeric or string type to fit within the range provided.

During type checking time this is equivalent to [`typing.Annotated`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/typing.html#typing.Annotated) so type checkers understand the intent of the code.

Some example ranges...

[final iron]

Oh it does allow floats

Yeah, so you’ll use Range for the integer and float. That’ll get you all three

[compact ivy]

absolutely perfect, thank you so much for that!

[young dagger]

How can I format member.created_at to something like

[limber falcon]

hello Could someone tell me how to make my bot send a response similar to this one, so that the user is the only one to see it?

[slate swan]

Probably just subtract created_at from the current date time then format the resulting timedelta however you want

[final iron]

ephemeral kwarg

[limber falcon]

what line of code should I put ?

[final iron]

InteractionResponse.send_message() has an ephemeral kwarg

[slate swan]

make it true by default ong

[compact ivy]

Well, it’s very often that you want other users to see the output, to true by default is a pain

[young dagger]

How do you handle number of days in a month that can vary?

[final iron]

Discord handles it

[limber falcon]

thank bro

[slate swan]

Oh wait if you wanna not deal with that just pass created_at to utils.format_dt with the 'R' format if I recall correct

<t:123:R>

[young dagger]

I don't want to use utils.format_dt because it's not the format I'm looking for

[young dagger]

Can you show me an example of that?

[slate swan]

You can choose from many formats and click it to show the exact datetime.

I don't know the best way to format a timedelta oneself, if it were me I'd probably do some maths to extract the number of years/days/hours/minutes and ignore months altogether

In fact years are also ambiguous. I would just display the datetime when they joined and forget about all that "X years, Y days, ... ago" stuff

[slate swan]

dose any one know how can i create a time out command ?

[final iron]

Why? People can just do it through the discord UI, and it properly shows up in the audit log

[slate swan]

idont know when like some one leves u can timeout him with the id

[final iron]

You can't time people out if they're not in the server

[slate swan]

nice im out of date now ]

[slate swan]

Save their id somewhere when the command is used and time them out when they re-join

[final iron]

?

This was never possible, even since timeouts were implemented

It just doesn't make sense

[slate swan]

i have allready done this

[slate swan]

i didnt use discord.py sen 2021

[slate swan]

Then I don't understand what your question is

[final iron]

What you're asking has never been possible

The Discord API doesn't allow it

[drifting arrow]

How do you send a link/url without the big ass thing that popsup again?

nvm figured it out 😄

[final iron]

fwiw that “popup” is called an embed

[merry cliff]

.topic

[lament depot]

**What commands/features are you proud of making?**

Suggest more topics here!

[merry cliff]

I copied the dank memer reddit commands when I was first learning how embeds worked

And then I made an xkcd command for my friends before they added their own one

[compact ivy]

I see that discord doesn't allow editing a channel description from a bot more than 2 times in 10 minutes

I'm trying to find a way to show some live-updated (or close to it) information in a chat without spamming the chat, since this could update on every message somebody sends

Does anyone know of a way to do this sanely, without spamming messages?

[loud junco]

is this how u connect db?

1 and 2 is outputted but 3 is not
no error

[vale wing]

Ig, if mysql doesn't have pools

[vale wing]

You need to use sql placeholders instead of f strings

[loud junco]

oh no here comes the nightmare

[vale wing]

Otherwise you're vulnerable to sql injections, not in this concrete case tho

[loud junco]

what does this mean tho

[unkempt canyon]

SQL & f-strings

Don't use f-strings (f"") or other forms of "string interpolation" (%, +, .format) to inject data into a SQL query. It is an endless source of bugs and syntax errors. Additionally, in user-facing applications, it presents a major security risk via SQL injection.

Your database library should support "query parameters". A query parameter is a placeholder that you put in the SQL query. When the query is executed, you provide data to the database library, and the library inserts the data into the query for you, safely.

For example, the sqlite3 package supports using ? as a placeholder:

query = "SELECT * FROM stocks WHERE symbol = ?;"
params = ("RHAT",)
db.execute(query, params)

Note: Different database libraries support different placeholder styles, e.g. %s and $1. Consult your library's documentation for details.

See Also

• PEP-249 - A specification of how database libraries in Python should work

[loud junco]

i have to do that in every file? 😭

[vale wing]

Utility to open connections as you need

[vale wing]

In what files?

[loud junco]

command file

[vale wing]

You just gotta write queries correctly

[loud junco]

i have one command in one file

but idk how to connect the db thats the problem

[vale wing]

You are not saving the connection actually

They are local variables

[loud junco]

make it a bot var?

[vale wing]

Either declare them as global or use botvars

And yeah in case you are beginner in dbs why don't you just start with sqlite? Much less complicated

[loud junco]

i have a database app installed
cuz i did a school project with that
and im lazy to download another one

[vale wing]

Sqlite doesn't require you to install anything

https://docs.python.org/3/library/sqlite3.html check sync builtin lib for basic understanding

Don't use it with bot tho, you will need aiosqlite

[loud junco]

i understand the basic

i just dk the syntax to connect

i worked with psg before dw (or pg i forgot, its the one with elephant logo)

[vale wing]

Well syntax is quite easy except you better subclass the bot instead of using botvars

class MyBot(commands.Bot):
    con: aiosqlite.Connection

    async def setup_hook(self):
        con = await aiosqlite.connect("yourdb.db")

    async def execute(self, query, *args) -> aiosqlite.Cursor:
        cur = await self.db.cursor()
        cur = await cur.execute(query, args)
        await self.db.commit()

        return cur

Then you can like

data = await bot.execute("SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = ?", user_id)

See one of my projects https://github.com/Exenifix/birthday-bot

[young dagger]

How can I format member.created_at to something like

[vale wing]

You mean discord timestamp?

Like <t:0:R>

[young dagger]

No, this one is not using utils.format_dt

[vale wing]

Check out pendulum

!pypi pendulum

[unkempt canyon]

pendulum v3.0.0

Python datetimes made easy

[loud junco]

this in main.py

[loud junco]

then i can use this anywhere right?

[vale wing]

Sure, as long as you have bot instance

[loud junco]

wait shouldnt i just go await bot.execute...
why do i need to data = await box.execute

[vale wing]

Because SELECT query returns stuff

If you execute something like INSERT or DELETE you obviously don't

[loud junco]

oo i dont need select

[young dagger]

What about just using divmod?

[vale wing]

How is divmod even related to timedeltas

Ah you wanna do that low-level way

[young dagger]

By converting seconds into years, months, weeks etc

[loud junco]

but im using mysql tho and i dont think mysql syntax look like this 😭😭😭

[vale wing]

You can of course, up to you

Although personally I wouldn't waste my time writing those functions and just use ready module

[young dagger]

I can't find any attribute for pendulum that does that for me

[vale wing]

Second, imma check

[vale wing]

Interval.in_words()

Gonna look like

(pendulum.now().naive() - o.created_at).in_words()

[loud junco]

i tried to modify the syntax for mysql
but its not working 😭

[vale wing]

Mysql is different since it's server db

And yeah constructions vary from lib to lib

Why do you need mysql tho?

[loud junco]

but how do i install aiosqlite

[vale wing]

pip install aiosqlite

[loud junco]

how do i create db tho
cuz it has no interface or stuff

[vale wing]

If there's no file path present it will automatically create new

[loud junco]

ok thanks

[vale wing]

It got no interface because it's file-based database

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10564073/what-is-the-difference-between-a-file-based-database-and-a-server-based-database#:~:text=A file-based database is,highly optimized for high performance.

[loud junco]

i see
thanks!

[loud junco]

where do i do sql query tho (i want to create table)
do i need to create a file and run it
or i can just do it in terminal

[vale wing]

For queries can use external soft like sqlite studio, db visualizer, some IDE extension, or cli tool like aoi from sarth (iirc it's called that)

[loud junco]

what is cli tool

[vale wing]

https://github.com/externref/aoi

[vale wing]

CLI is command line interface

[loud junco]

DAMN SARTHAK MADE IT

[loud junco]

ive seen $python blah blah
but idk where to find it

[young dagger]

What do you think about:

    now = datetime.utcnow().replace(tzinfo=timezone.utc)
    created_at = member.created_at.replace(tzinfo=timezone.utc)

    difference = relativedelta(now, created_at)

    time_components = [
        ("year", difference.years),
        ("month", difference.months),
        ("day", difference.days),
        ("hour", difference.hours),
        ("minute", difference.minutes),
        ("second", difference.seconds),
    ]

    non_zero_components = [(unit, value) for unit, value in time_components if value > 0]

    # Display a maximum of 3 time components
    displayed_components = non_zero_components[:3]

    formatted_components = [f"{value} {unit if value == 1 else unit + 's'}" for unit, value in displayed_components]

    # Join all components with commas, except the last one which is joined with "and"
    ago_text = f"{member}'s account was created " + ", ".join(formatted_components[:-1]) + (f" and {formatted_components[-1]}" if len(formatted_components) > 1 else "")

[vale wing]

Looks ok but that's 8 lines

Up to you how to do this anyways since you seem to really want to do own implementation

[tepid dagger]

how would you get the online status of a discord.User

could you convert discord.User to discord.Member and go from there?

cus im using client.get_user to get the user, how can i go from there to get their online status if discord.User doesn't have a user.status

^^^

oh wait nvm

[fiery girder]

can you use normal discord.ext.commands.Cog for app_Commands?

[shrewd apex]

yeah

[fiery girder]

thanks

[fiery girder]

but how i add it to the discord.client since i am not using the discord.ext.commands.Bot

[shrewd apex]

u cant use cogs with client u need bot iirc

[fiery girder]

but i want to make it only on app_commands

[fiery girder]

is there a way i can make discord.ext.commands.Bot only for app_commands

[shrewd apex]

yeah

dont register any message commands

u can also remove the default help command

and u can disable message_content intent

[fiery girder]

how can you show me like an example

i am getting this error

[slate swan]

Error says all, no need to assign a new command tree if you already have one

[fading granite]

how do i handle an exception if the original message of a thread in the forum channel is deleted by the user?

[shrewd fjord]

Use discord.NotFound or discord.HTTPException and if neither of them are correct them just catch any exception and check whats the source of the error

[fading granite]

i tried all of these and when I try catching a general exception and print it says 404 Not Found (error code: 10008): Unknown Message.

and other bots like dyno also say command failed. i guess this is probably because the bots are not getting where the commands are getting executed. is there a way to handle this?

[final iron]

How are you handling the error?

[fading granite]

i tried catching specific exceptions of NotFound and HTTPException, but they didn't work. so I caught general exception as e that sends an embed

but I'd actually written that for instances when a particular command is used outside of thread channel

[final iron]

How would this throw an exception?

[fading granite]

the original message in the thread is deleted by the user. when the user tries to execute any command in that thread, it throws 404 Not Found (error code: 10008): Unknown Message this exception

[final iron]

That’s strange, unless you’re trying to perform any operations on that message then it shouldn’t be interfering

Can you show the entire traceback?

[fiery girder]

can anyone tell whats this error is about

!paste

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/3O7Q

[final iron]

Show the full traceback

[fiery girder]

sure just a sec

[final iron]

What discord.py version are you using

[fiery girder]

how to check?

[final iron]

pip show discord

[fiery girder]

here

2.3.2

it is the latest version i think

[final iron]

I got no clue

To be completely honest

[fiery girder]

ok lol

i got it working i just scrapped the whole Select meny thing

so i just used the bot.waitfor to check for messages

[hushed galleon]

self.options.append(channel.name for channel in self.channels) you've appended a generator to the options, but Select(options=) is supposed to take a list of SelectOption instances

[fiery girder]

hmm

[hushed galleon]

e.g. options = [discord.SelectOption(label="Hello...", value="world!")]
(see also https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/interactions/api.html#selectoption)

[fiery girder]

oh

so i do it for all for them?

[hushed galleon]

i dont know what you mean by that

[fiery girder]

options = [discord.SelectOption(label=channel.name ,value=channel.id) for channel in guild.text_channels]

will this work?

[final iron]

Try it and see

[hushed galleon]

cant recall if dpy automatically converts values to strings, but i suggest you cast the channel ID to one since discord's API expects it to be a string

[fiery girder]

i scrapped the plan and deleted all the code so yea

[fiery girder]

i can just do py f"{channel.id}"

[smoky anvil]

Do some have the discord.py server? If so, please dm

[slate swan]

https://discord.gg/dpy

A two second Google search that you would do would've given the same answer

Or just reading this channel's description

Either way DMing is pointless

[smoky anvil]

The problem is, i need to get in contact with a staff, can not join the server…

[slate swan]

If you got banned, muted or whatever there's a reason.

And this server is not an appeal server so you can already forget about it

[smoky anvil]

Of course, but isnt there a way to get a unban?

[slate swan]

Appeal, and this server is not made for that

You can DM mods, and obviously Danny is probably the one everyone knows about..

[final iron]

[slate swan]

Yeah won't get unbanned for that

[smoky anvil]

I know, do they even have appeals?

[smoky anvil]

Wow, so unban is impossible?

[smoky anvil]

You know that?

[slate swan]

Think twice

[final iron]

Considering you were DMing multiple people advertisements, yes lol

[slate swan]

Sometimes common sense is not really common

[smoky anvil]

.. Ooh, there is no appeal form?

[slate swan]

No

[final iron]

no

[split fog]

It is getting rarer every day

[final iron]

You were justifiably banned. Why would they unban you

[smoky anvil]

I could try at least, obvously i have learned something from it..

[final iron]

I guarantee you will not be unbanned

Free to try I guess

[smoky anvil]

Your a moderator?

In that server?

[final iron]

No, but it’s legitimately common sense

[smoky anvil]

ye i see, i thought regardint the fact you had picture of it

[final iron]

Only mod I believe you can get into contact with is Leonardo

[smoky anvil]

Thanks a lot

But your not a mod there, since you had picture of the reason?

Is Leonardo the username, cause he is not accepting friend request

[split fog]

You can search on discord ids and that ban command was sent in general

Also dont expect anyone to accept a friend request from a guy they banned

[smoky anvil]

What do you recommend to do?

[split fog]

Take the ban

[smoky anvil]

= Give up

[split fog]

Correct

[smoky anvil]

Equals the opposite to my philosophy

[final iron]

Unfortunately this is out of your control

[young dagger]

I changed it to 4 lines:

    difference = relativedelta(datetime.datetime.utcnow().replace(tzinfo=None), member.created_at.replace(tzinfo=timezone.utc))

    time_units = [("year", "years", difference.years), ("month", "months", difference.months), ("day", "days", difference.days), ("hour", "hours", difference.hours), ("minute", "minutes", difference.minutes), ("second", "seconds", difference.seconds)]
    time_units = [(singular if value == 1 else plural, value) for singular, plural, value in time_units if value != 0][:3]

    account_created_at = ', '.join([f"{value} {name}" for name, value in time_units])

[vale wing]

You certainly didn't make it more readable

[smoky anvil]

Ye, i will do what i can

[vale wing]

Implementation is up to you

My advice is to use pendulum and not reinvent the wheel, but you are free not to follow this advice and write your own

[young dagger]

Are you saying that there are no comments?

        self.bot = bot

    @commands.command()
    async def ping(self, ctx):
        await ctx.send('Pong!')

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

this gives this error

discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandNotFound: Command "ping" is not found```

por why

[timber lotus]

im new but i just had this issue, try adding _ between the name and cog like
class Example_Cog(commands.Cog, name ="Example Cog):
and then load on main, under on_ready like this
await bot.add_cog(Example_Cog(bot))
but also it takes some time for commands to update if you starting and restarting your bot alot, i also learned that recently

dont forget to under the import but before the on_ready
Example_Cog = ping.Example_Cog

but now im looking and what you put seems to load all cogs? got me thinking if i should use that now so disregard my messages hahha

[slate swan]

what library is that?

[final iron]

I would get rid of whatever tutorial you're following, as it's about 2 years out of date

[final iron]

but also it takes some time for commands to update
This isn't true

[timber lotus]

thats what i read in the documentaion, could take up to 15 minutes for bot tree to sync. let me see if i can find it again

globally up to an hour. guild is faster.

[final iron]

This isn't documentation

Nor is it correct

[timber lotus]

then show me whats correct please

[final iron]

Prefixed commands don't need to be synced at all

[tepid dagger]

how could i make a while loop that is always checking for a user to be offline/online but only do something when their online status changes,

if i use while True: it'll spam so how can i do this without spam and only when the Member.status changes

[final iron]

Why not just use on_presence_update

[tepid dagger]

can you show an example

idk how to use that

and also i did not know that existed

[final iron]

It's an event

[tepid dagger]

oh

[final iron]

!d discord.on_presence_update

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_presence\_update

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

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

• status

• activity

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

[tepid dagger]

so it's just

@client.event
async def on_presence_update(offline, online)

how does it work

ill read the docs first tho hold on

im getting an error

@client.event
async def on_presence_update(member.status.offline, member.status.online):
  code

why doesn't this work, it says it's a syntax error

[shrewd apex]

its

@client.event
async def on_presence_update(before, after):
  code

[tepid dagger]

yea but what do i put in before, after

[shrewd apex]

just before and after they are Member objects before and after the change

[tepid dagger]

example?

[shrewd apex]

u can acess attributes using before.status

[tepid dagger]

wdym

can you fully write out what i could put in before, after

[shrewd apex]

@client.event
async def on_presence_update(before, after):
  print(before.status, after.status)

u need to acess the attributes in the code not parameter

[tepid dagger]

Oh

so you actually just write before, after

[shrewd apex]

yeah u can write anything a, b, c, d whatever u want which is a valid identifier

then do like a.status or b.status

[tepid dagger]

but how do i get before, after

to tell me when a member goes from offline to online

a specific member

[shrewd apex]

!d discord.Member.status

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.status

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

[tepid dagger]

ik but how do i encorporate this w/on_presence_update

before = member.status == discord.Status.offline??

[shrewd apex]

yeah when before.status is offline and after.status is online

just use a if condition

[tepid dagger]

to do what

what would i use an if for

[shrewd apex]

!d discord.Status

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Status

class discord.Status```
Specifies a [`Member`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Member) ‘s status.

[shrewd apex]

if before.status == discord.Status.offline and after.status == discord.Status.online:
   print("member is now on")

[tepid dagger]

wait

how do i define before

is before a discord.Member

and how do i define after

[shrewd apex]

yes

u don't it's passed as a param

[tepid dagger]

like
before = guild.get_member(id)
after = guild.get_member(id)

[tepid dagger]

i mean in the function

[shrewd apex]

yeah it's passed as a param you don't need to define it yourself

[tepid dagger]

so before is automatically a discord.Member

[shrewd apex]

yes

[tepid dagger]

but how do you know which member

[shrewd apex]

!d discord.Member.id

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.id

property id```
Equivalent to [`User.id`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.User.id)

[shrewd apex]

read the docs

[tepid dagger]

yea

so i define before and after like this right

[tepid dagger]

^

[shrewd apex]

no

[tepid dagger]

then how does one do it

[shrewd apex]

already defined

in the parameters

[tepid dagger]

?

you define the user in the parameters

cus how does it know which user i wanna check for, where do i tell it

[shrewd apex]

i think its better you learn a few python basics before trying discord bots

[tepid dagger]

.

[shrewd apex]

in the if condition

[tepid dagger]

ohh

[tepid dagger]

what do i need to learn

[final iron]

OOP
Functions
Classes
How to read and interpret docs

[tepid dagger]

yea idk how to read docs, but im better than i used to be do not read the old stuff i used toa sk

where do i learn how to read docs

[tepid dagger]

bro am i blind where do i define the member,

@client.event
async def on_presence_update(before, after):
  guild = client.get_guild(id)
  member
 = guild.get_member(id)
  
  if member.status == discord.Status.offline and member.status == discord.Status.online:
    stuff

i also tried

@client.event
async def on_presence_update(before, after):
  guild = client.get_guild(id)
  member = guild.get_member(id)
  
  if before.status == discord.Status.offline and after.status == discord.Status.online:
    stuff

but that didn't work

[shrewd apex]

also asyncio

[shrewd apex]

and before.id == whatever_id

[final iron]

He hasn’t sent anything that shows he doesn’t understand it

[tepid dagger]

i don't understand it

well i can use it within discord.py (sorta) but i never learned it properly

[final iron]

Do you understand what before and after are?

[tepid dagger]

no

lol

[final iron]

They are both instances of discord.Member, the first being the old information, the second one being the new one with the updated presence

Do you understand that?

[tepid dagger]

yea

so ik i need to define the before and after

[final iron]

Do you know what an instance of a class is?

[tepid dagger]

sort of

oh yea i do

can i define before.id = id before the if statement

oh nope i get an error

[final iron]

Which of the following 2 is creating an instance:

classroom = SchoolBus
classroom.students

classroom = SchoolBus()
classroom.students

[tepid dagger]

the second one i think

[final iron]

Good

[tepid dagger]

cus you pass params inside

[final iron]

Well it's actually because you initialize the class with (), but anyway

Share your current code and we'll work from there

Also, which IDE are you using?

[tepid dagger]

replit bc idk where to host stuff

😢

[final iron]

No autocompletion, so that's making it more difficult for you

[tepid dagger]

@client.event
async def on_presence_update(before, after):
  guild = client.get_guild(id)
  member = guild.get_member(id)
  before.id = member.id
  after.id = member.id

  
  if before.status == discord.Status.offline and after.status == discord.Status.online:
    stuff

[rugged shadow]

replit has autocompletions iirc

[tepid dagger]

no replit has autocompletions

but they are really bad

so i just don't use them

[tepid dagger]

i use codespaces or vsc sometimes

[final iron]

  guild = client.get_guild(id)
  member = guild.get_member(id)
  before.id = member.id
  after.id = member.id

Why are you doing this?

[final iron]

This'll be a lot easier in VSC

[tepid dagger]

idk where to pass the member id

[tepid dagger]

maybe ill write the code in VSC and copy it back

[final iron]

That'll make it easier

[tepid dagger]

should i do like

if before.status == discord.Status.offline and before.status == discord.Status.online and before.id == member.id and after.id == member.id:
  code

[tepid dagger]

ye lol i forgot why, i just explained how i got there

[tepid dagger]

this code doesn't do anything

for some rsn

[final iron]

if before.status == discord.Status.offline and before.status == discord.Status.online

This will never be true

[sick birch]

a user cannot be offline and online at the same time

[tepid dagger]

oh bruh what

[final iron]

You also don't need to check the after ID as it's impossible to change

[tepid dagger]

i thought that was after

wait no that was a dumb question

now it's dming me twice

but it works

thanks

[tepid dagger]

why is it DMing me twice instead of once

@client.event
async def on_presence_update(before, after):)
  guild = client.get_guild(guild)
  member = guild.get_member(id)

  async def send_text():
    await user.send('text')

  before_offline = before.status == discord.Status.offline
  id_check = before.id == member.id
  
  if before_offline and after.status == discord.Status.online and id_check:
    await send_text()

[final iron]

  guild = client.get_guild(guild)
  member = guild.get_member(id)

  async def send_text():
    await user.send('text')

  before_offline = before.status == discord.Status.offline
  id_check = before.id == member.id
  
  if before_offline and after.status == discord.Status.online and id_check:
    await send_text()

All this can be simplified into 2 lines

[tepid dagger]

ik

but why is it Dming me twice

i just like the variable and function declars because it makes the code easier to read

for me, and it's also less stuff to type if i gotta check more conditions

i could prob make a function that legs me plug in conditions

or a class

[tepid dagger]

[loud junco]

@vale wing am i doing this wrongly

am i doing it wrongly 😭😭😭

[tepid dagger]

i simplified it to this:

@client.event
async def on_presence_update(before, after):
  user = client.get_user(id)
  special_message_list = ["one","two", "three"]

  async def online_conditions(special_condition, index):
    if before.status == discord.Status.offline and before.id == id and special_condition:
      await user.send(text)
      await user.send(special_message_list[index])

  await online_conditions(after.status == discord.Status.online, 0)

  await online_conditions(after.status == discord.Status.idle, 1)

  await online_conditions(after.status == discord.Status.dnd, 2)

  if (before.status == discord.Status.online or before.status == discord.Status.idle or before.status == discord.Status.dnd) and after.status == discord.Status.offline and before.id == id:
    await user.send(text)

it still DMs twice for some rsn

the code actually works though

[rugged shadow]

the [] specifies that it's optional

so it's supposed to be aoi -c "your db path"

[final iron]

Shouldn't be nesting functions like that

[loud junco]

i just realised that and im trying to do the db path thanks!

[tepid dagger]

why not, also thats not why it's DMing twice right

or is it?

cus it's been DMing twice the whole time

[final iron]

It's bad practice and complicates things. Functions are supposed to be individual containers

[tepid dagger]

can i define them outside but use them inside, is that a more conventional practice

cus i don't wanna write the same lines 3 times

[final iron]

You take the items you need inside the function as parameters

[tepid dagger]

what about the DM twice thing

[final iron]

Has it been double messaging the entire time

[tepid dagger]

yea lol

[final iron]

fyi your function actually complicates things, it can be done simply in 1 line

[tepid dagger]

might just be replit being replit

[tepid dagger]

how

[loud junco]

i created a table with this

but what do i write here now

cuz there is no name for this database

[final iron]

What is aoi

!pypi aoi

[unkempt canyon]

aoi v0.1.2

SQLITE3 CLI wrapper build on python.

[tepid dagger]

^

[final iron]

What's the point of aoi

Why are you using it

[shrewd apex]

thats an in memory db so session is persisted in ram ideally u want it connected to a file

[final iron]

More than ideally lol

[loud junco]

.

[final iron]

Or just do it normallly

[loud junco]

so what do i do 😭😭😭

[shrewd apex]

pretty sure vscode has extensions to visualise tables

[final iron]

await execute("your query here")

[shrewd apex]

and databases

[timber lotus]

is it easier to just restart sometimes when you changed a bunch of sutff and now keep getting errors?

[final iron]

There's a ton of database visualization apps you can use

[shrewd apex]

would restarting make a diff

[final iron]

jsk will allow you to easily run queries in real time

[final iron]

How many errors are there

[loud junco]

the problem im going through now is connecting to the database

[timber lotus]

its not that im gwetting alot of errors, im just getting errors on stuff that was working perfect before and i feel maybe from debugging, ive changed so much that now the original error is still there plus other stuff

and im so lost lol

[shrewd apex]

iirc dosent sqlite create a local db file that u connect to what's wrong with that

[final iron]

What stuff did you change?

[final iron]

What issue are you having?

[timber lotus]

well i everything working perfectly (giveaway commands for a discord bot) originally i didnt realize i was storing the data internally and was resetting on bot restarts so i switched to a sqllite 3 database, thats when i started getting errors. i finally got everything working and tried adding a couple more commands and save some stuff in the database and now im getting invalid integers for duration when that was working perfect before. and im just lost now

[final iron]

What are the errors looking like

[loud junco]

but i cant find it

[loud junco]

i cant find the db file that i can connect to

[final iron]

Have you created one?

[loud junco]

wait so the one i created in bash is just in a memory not a file?

[final iron]

Do you mean terminal?

[timber lotus]

its just printing this to console --
11 line 75
Error: 'duration' must be a valid integer value: Invalid integer value for duration
1 line 76
Failed to create giveaway: 'int' object has no attribute 'days'

i traced it back to a section of code. but no idea why --i
print('11 line 75')
time_left = 0
try:
if isinstance(duration, int):
time_left = datetime.timedelta(hours=duration)
else:
raise ValueError("Invalid integer value for duration")
except ValueError as e:
# Handle the case where duration is not a valid integer
print(f"Error: 'duration' must be a valid integer value: {e}")
print('1 line 76')
time_left_str = self.format_timedelta(time_left)
print('2 line 79')

[loud junco]

ya the git bash in terminal

[final iron]

.

[loud junco]

lemme create a file then

[loud junco]

just make it blahblah.sql??
looks kinda weird tho

[final iron]

.db

[final iron]

What what does duration look like if you print it?

[loud junco]

thanks

[timber lotus]

let find out

[shrewd apex]

sqlite3 database_name.db

[loud junco]

im doing this correctly?

[final iron]

It's a weird name but if it connects, it connects

[shrewd apex]

why are u on onedrive? also try not to have spaces in filenames and path names

[loud junco]

idk but if it works it works 😭
i wil try to remove the spaces

[shrewd apex]

look at the project name 😂

[loud junco]

;-; im trying to do explosive kittens on discord

[timber lotus]

ok wow, the duration printed to what i entered as the title and not the duration. thank you. now i have a direction

[shrewd apex]

sure 💀

[loud junco]

WHAT 😭😭😭

[shrewd apex]

just jk

[loud junco]

btw am i doing this correctly

1 is outputted but not 2

[shrewd apex]

what's the error

i dont see u defining self.db

https://aiosqlite.omnilib.dev/en/stable/

i setup_hook u need to do self.con = await aiosqlite.connect

and then use the self.con instead of self.db

also u can just use self.con to execute directly

[loud junco]

i dont understand 😭

[loud junco]

is this what u mean/

[shrewd apex]

@loud junco

check the docs link above

[loud junco]

ok thanks

[loud junco]

i dont understand the docs at all 😭😭😭

[shrewd apex]

self.db = await aiosqlite.connect(...) # in setup hook

# in execute
cursor = await self.db.execute(query, args)
await self.db.commit()
return cursor

note: the cursor can be used to execute stuff too

just be consistent

[halcyon magnet]

Maybe you can use a context manager for it?
