dynamic cooldown only provides an interaction to your factory callback, not self, so you'll need to rewrite it another way

given that is_premium only really needs the bot, i suggest turning it into a regular function and accessing bot from the interaction with interaction.client

e.g. ```py
async def premium_cooldown(interaction: discord.Interaction) -> app_commands.Cooldown:
bot = interaction.client
...

in your cog:

@app_commands.command()
@app_commands.checks.dynamic_cooldown(premium_cooldown)```

[graceful ermine]

Thanks but caninteraction.client access my database that I made with using SQLITE?

[hushed galleon]

interaction.client is whatever bot instance is receiving the interaction, and i'd assume you only have one bot instance that you've been using across your code

So i have a file called cog_setup1.py inside of a folder called commands, which does all cogs n stuff, the in my Bot.py file i just load the cog_setup1. How could I restart the cogs? I have tried restarting it before, but then it says my cogs are already loaded. I am wondering how I can do that?

If that doesn't explain it well, here is what I mean, this Ticket system I made kinda explains what I mean.

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.reload_extension should work just fine for your layout

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.reload\_extension

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

Atomically reloads an extension.

This replaces the extension with the same extension, only refreshed. This is equivalent to a [`unload_extension()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.unload_extension) followed by a [`load_extension()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.load_extension) except done in an atomic way. That is, if an operation fails mid-reload then the bot will roll-back to the prior working state.

[vapid parcel]

This should go into Bot.py correct?

[hushed galleon]

oh wait, not sure if discord.py can tell where the cogs came from...

doesn't have to be bot.py, you can call that function wherever you want

[vapid parcel]

When I do this

Its saying the cogs are already loaded.

meaning it didn't unload them clearly when its supposed to

[hushed galleon]

hmm yeah, it needs to be reorganized as an actual package

[vapid parcel]

So how can I do that?

I only know cogs as this way tbh

[hushed galleon]

see https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/modules.html#packages, but basically rename cog_setup1.py to __init__.py and then in (re)load_extension, import the package as "commands" rather than "commands.cog_setup1"

[vapid parcel]

Okay thank you so much it worked 😭

You are a god 😭

[hushed galleon]

you can also check the source code for more details, but essentially it only recognizes cogs to unload if either:

1. your extension is a module (a .py file) and the cogs are defined inside that module;
2. your extension is a package (__init__.py) and the cog is defined in init or a submodule

[unkempt canyon]

discord/ext/commands/bot.py lines 885 to 890

async def _remove_module_references(self, name: str) -> None:
    # find all references to the module
    # remove the cogs registered from the module
    for cogname, cog in self.__cogs.copy().items():
        if _is_submodule(name, cog.__module__):
            await self.remove_cog(cogname)```

[old vine]

how to get the day that the bot joined the server.

[vapid parcel]

It worked, but that was such a simple fix man

[old vine]

nextcord.py

[vapid parcel]

you are a legend

Everyone else would say like, use reload kinda like you said, even tho I showed them what I was talking about, because that wasn't gonna work, then they would say yes it would. But it clearly didn't but you are like the only one who sat there n explained it

[hushed galleon]

if you have the guild object, get your bot's own member object and then check the joined_at date
nextcord.Guild.me -> nextcord.Member.joined_at

[frail perch]

Hello! Is it possible to embed/attach an image to discord thread post via api? Couldn't find it in the documentation for discord.py

[hushed galleon]

its similar to sending attachments in regular messages, create a discord.File object (using either a filename or a file-like object) and pass it to the create_thread(file=) parameter

[frail perch]

Thank you! I'll look into it right away

[robust fulcrum]

are you using discord.py 2.0? if so, the add_cog() method has to be awaited

[harsh orbit]

there is some kind of bots that you can insert an bot token in it then the bot that you inserted its token will work in a certin project or code
does anyone has an idea how this thing work?

[sick birch]

they're just like normal bots. the code is already there, all it needs is a token

[cold sonnet]

robin

what programming abilities does one have who has made an insane amount of discord bots

I dunno what to write in my resume

I just have
Python:
oop
asyncio
APIs

[harsh orbit]

1 bot can run more than 1000 bots just by inserting a token

also, can you give example pls?

[sick birch]

this is a better question for #career-advice

[cold sonnet]

maybe

[sick birch]

that's not possible, unless you have 1000 tokens

one token = one bot

[harsh orbit]

can you give example for how that works ?

[sick birch]

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

[harsh orbit]

?

I think you didnot understand me

the that I talking about its called 'bot maker' you just select the bot will work in wich code then in a modal just insert the token and the prefix and the bot will work immeditly

[sick birch]

how is this different from any normal bot

it's like, basically the same as @novel apex . just put in your token and it works

[harsh orbit]

you put it in the project then run it

not in modal and chose the prefix also in modal

[shrewd apex]

well at a very superficial level you would create another bot instance and spawn it in a thread using asyncio and the current bot event loop

[sick birch]

bots have had per-server custom prefixes for ages. it's nothing new

[shy ledge]

How can i make slash commands in replit?

[slate swan]

uh

anyone know how to fix..

[somber sky]

im trying to make a command so basically you run a command and put a number, that number goes into a list with the server id so that it saves, but im having 2 different problems, #1 is that every time that a server runs the command multiple times it will give adding on to the list but i wanna make it where if the same server runs it multiple times then instead of keep adding on to the list it just updates and whatever number they put will change. and my other problem is i have a command to check the number to make sure that everytime the bot turns off the number saves but every single time that the bot restarts and i check, it just says 0 but it does stay in the list.

So basically, the number does store into the json file but if i do it twice then it adds on twice which i dont want and when i run the get command it will tell me the number right if i dont restart the bot but if i restart the bot and try it itll say 0.

[somber sky]

i fixed the part where it added twice, but when i run the command if i restart the bot it still gives me 0

[sick birch]

save_RC should probably be unindented so that it saves regardless of if it was updated or set

[slate swan]

is there a way to only have your bot listen to whitelisted users?

[somber sky]

@client.tree.command(description='rostercap')
async def set_roster_cap(ctx, cap: int):
    if ctx.guild:
      server_id = ctx.guild.id
      if server_id in RC:
        RC[ctx.guild.id] = cap
        await ctx.response.send_message(f"Roster cap updated to {cap}")
      else:
        RC[server_id] = cap
        await ctx.response.send_message(f"Roster cap set to {cap}")
      save_RC()```

like this? I did but even then it still gives me 0

it goes into the list but when i run the get command it just says 0 idk why

[sick birch]

does the json file get updated properly?

try

RC.get(str(ctx.guild.id), 0)

in the get function

[somber sky]

alr let me try

oh it wont

worked*

thanks didnt know it was that easy 💀

[somber sky]

wait 1 question, so I kinda fixed it but not fully apparantly, so basically if i run the command multiple times and keep switching it wont add onto the list it just updates. BUT if i set a number and then restart the bot and then set a number again on the same server THEN it adds onto the list twice, how do I make it where reagrdless if i restart the bot or not it doesn't add the same server twice and it just updates

someone please tell me

what im doing wrong 😭

[tidal spoke]

when you declare client, you aren't declaring what intents you need. the commands.bot requires it. Here is how it traditionally looks:

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

[slate swan]

is there an easy way to make your bot user whitelist only?
or is it a fair amount of lines to code

[slate swan]

thank you for the reply, watching a video and it must be outdated.

[polar slate]

am I getting trolled ?

[tidal spoke]

just try "rank_level"?

[polar slate]

Same

i didn't rename the .txt tho

[tidal spoke]

that should work

what are you doing python?

[polar slate]

You want to see the code ?

[tidal spoke]

um just send me a screenshot of the directory where your file sits

[tidal spoke]

and this error is from your main or leveling?

oh its in leveling

[polar slate]

yeah

but I got a problem, when I execute the program

it put the DB on python

so maybe that's why

python is the sub directory

Okay it was that but now idk how to execute it in the bot_discord directory can someone help ?

[final iron]

Yeah it's pretty easy

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.check

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.check

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

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

Note

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

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

Example...

[slate swan]

where would i add this?
im not familiar with python or discord.py so im not really sure what to do..

[final iron]

Anywhere

[slate swan]

ykw

im already confused ill think ill just stick to the very basics for now 😭

[polar slate]

welcome to the club

[somber sky]

im trying to make a command where when i put a server id it puts it in a list, but it dont work, what am i doing wrong?

async def whitelist(ctx, server_id: int):
  if server_id not in f.whitelistedservers:
      f.whitelistedservers.append(server_id)
      print(f'Added {server_id} to whitelistedservers: {f}')
      await ctx.response.send_message(f'{server_id} has been whitelisted.')
  else:
      await ctx.response.send_message(f'{server_id} is already in the whitelist.')```

[latent pier]

What is it showing? @somber sky

[somber sky]

theres no error it just doesnt go into the list

[latent pier]

Looks fine to me

[somber sky]

this is me testing

stays the same

[final iron]

That not how python works

It's not going to change your actual code

[latent pier]

Did you run command again with same id after adding it?

[somber sky]

yes

[final iron]

???

Are you expecting it to change your code?

[latent pier]

You won't see changes in code

[somber sky]

the reason that id is there is because i made it where if your server id isnt inside of the list then it will just leave the server because it has to be whitelisted, so the reason that id is there is so it doesnt leave my testing server

[somber sky]

i just want it to add on to the list but if i take out the server id i already have then i cant even test it cause it wont be able to join my server

[final iron]

Okay, but you're showing the code and saying it's not changing

It'll be changed in memory, so you'll need to print it to see the changes take effect

[somber sky]

Hey for some reason when I'm syncing my commands after loading my cogs, it doesn't sync but registers into other servers that the bot is in.

@bot.tree.command(name="sync", description="sync a command", guild=discord.Object(id=1197312375301345280))
@app_commands.checks.has_role('*')
async def sync(interaction: discord.Interaction):
    await interaction.response.send_message("commands should be synced", ephemeral=True)

    await bot.tree.sync()

    await bot.tree.sync(guild=discord.Object(1197312375301345280))

    await interaction.response.send_message("commands should be synced", ephemeral=True)

[somber sky]

so then how do i make it where it puts the id in the list

[queen pond]

are discord bots a good way to improve my python knowledge(im somewhere between beginner and intermediate), would it be helpful if i wanna continue down the path as a software engineer?

[pale zenith]

if you implement complex and interesting features, sure. Coding a bot itself isn't though. Not really lol

The discord.py library is really nice and easy/comprehensive, so it's easy to grasp and learn

but creating complex features that require working around the niches and caveats of an asyncio app is a decent learning curve (ish)

[queen pond]

since idk about bots ig i'll start with something easier then try making more complex bots, thanks for the answer

[polar slate]

Hey member.add_role(userID, roleID) works right ?

because idk why when the bot try to asign the role it tells me the role is not existing

[pale zenith]

that's not how it works

you need to pass in an actual role object, and the method is called add_roles

member = guild.get_member(1234)
role = guild.get_role(1234)
# Check if any of those are None or something...?
await member.add_roles(role)

[polar slate]

1234 is the name of the role ?

it will only work for one server then ?

async def level_role(member, lvl):
    with open("rank_level.txt", "r") as f:
        if lvl == 5:
            role = f.readlines(1)
            await member.add_roles(role)
        if lvl % 10 == 0:
            role = f.readlines(int((lvl / 10) + 1))
            await member.add_roles(role)

So my .txt with all my ID is useless ?

[leaden jasper]

replace 1234 with your role id

[polar slate]

oka

[leaden jasper]

he said make a variable

role = guild.get_role(1234)

before doing

            await member.add_roles(role)

[leaden jasper]

or replace

            await member.add_roles(role)

with

            await member.add_roles(guild.get_role(role))

that will work

not really clean but should work

[polar slate]

ok I need to pass guild then

idk how to get it

[leaden jasper]

maybe member has it

[hushed galleon]

technically add_roles() can accept a generic discord.Object, so you really only need the member object and the ID: py await member.add_roles(discord.Object(1234))

[polar slate]

oh nice that's what someone told me

i'll check it tomorrow am tired

[unreal pilot]

.get_guild(id) / fetch_guild

Tho i recommend get guild

[unreal pilot]

Also you dont want to use a .txt for this stuff. Just generally considered bad practice

[polar slate]

then how do I storage my things ?

[reef mirage]

Faced recently an issue, bot works create but after a time gets timeout and stop working, created new token worked and same issue happened again.

disnake.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: NotFound: 404 Not Found (error code: 10062): Unknown interaction

For this code part:

@channel.sub_command()
async def buttons(inter, channel: disnake.TextChannel):
    if inter.author.bot:
        return

    await inter.response.defer(with_message=True, ephemeral=True)

    view = disnake.ui.View()

The problem was- when the bot got into having this problem - scraping most of the code, and just had the: "await inter.response.defer(with_message=True, ephemeral=True)" and an output in the bot log, nothing happend and it timed out even by that .
creating a whole new bot - cloning the code project, and it was working again. until bot was invited to server a few days later and having it run for a couple of hours first time, the problem occured again and restart of the bot didn't fix it. only creating a new bot worked.

[polar slate]

where do I put that BTW ?

[unreal pilot]

.json, .db, sql, mongo

[unreal pilot]

thats just to get the guild objet to get the roles

so bot.get_guild(guild_id)

[polar slate]

Client*

I have to import everything in my second file then ?

[unreal pilot]

you should use bot

discord.ext.bot is a subclass of client but with more featuers

[polar slate]

why ? I made everything with client

[unreal pilot]

youre not reading what im saying

its a subclass, so it has everything, except its a generally improved and more extensive version of Client

[polar slate]

I am reading just wrote it as the time you sent the message xD

okay so i'll recode everything...

but I have to put bot = discord.bot(intents=intents) in every file I make ?

[shrewd apex]

no

[simple surge]

Just put that after you call your command_prefix, so after that just do , intents=intents, then set intents to all.

[simple surge]

intents = discord.Intents.all()

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

[frail perch]

Hey! I'm losing my mind over 2 things:

1. Forum Topic Tags are not working on my new version of the code.

2. embedded url for topic image only works when manually setting it. Bot will not grab the right thing from api.

I have attached a link for both codes with a sample api response as well.
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/ORUQ
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/AYKQ

In an ideal world the script would add tags correctly from the database and also embedd and image for the post

[hushed galleon]

the tag IDs in the second file seem invalid, but what happened to calling the built-in ForumChannel.create_thread() method?

[frail perch]

I modified the tag id's to protect myself before posting here. About the built-in method for creating a forum post i have to blame gpt as that's all i have currently access to

I would love to not do this myself but as a startup it's tight right now

[polar slate]

I don't want a command prefix I only want to make /commands

[polar slate]

then how do I get bot or client on the second file ?

[shrewd apex]

u need to use cogs

[polar slate]

Ok I'll check about it I have a video in a playlist I watch about making bot

[shrewd apex]

yeah u can just make sure u dont define prefix commands thats it

[shrewd apex]

most videos are pretty outdated so i would be careful about that

[hushed galleon]

IDs don't grant any permissions and only convey the timestamp of when they were created so i wouldn't worry about that, but regardless the payload itself seems to be almost correct as per the discord api docs
only thing that shouldn't be there is the type value because all "threads" in forum channels are public

[polar slate]

Do you have good source for cogs ?

[shrewd apex]

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

u would also need to load the cogs for which u can check cogs page oh how that works

[hushed galleon]

as a sidenote, requests is a blocking library and will momentarily interrupt your bot while it waits for responses so if you're doing frequent requests, httpx or aiohttp would be more optimal: ```py
import aiohttp

async def make_request():
async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session:
async with session.get(url, params=..., headers=...) as response:
data = await response.json()

...``` (aiohttp is what discord.py already uses)

[frail perch]

thank you, this is good to know! Right now it makes requests once per day. However do you have a clue on how to extract the first url for embedding the image via api. As that's what im struggling with currently. Aside from me breaking the tag functionality

[hushed galleon]

shrug, your image_data[0]['url'] seems to match the json snippet

oh, if not row['field_4804']: would be false though

[simple surge]

Ahh I see, here's how I do my commands

import discord
from discord import app_commands 

guild_id = 1234

class aclient(discord.Client):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__(intents = discord.Intents.all())
        self.synced = False

    async def on_ready(self):
        await self.wait_until_ready()
        if not self.synced:
            await tree.sync(guild = discord.Object(id=guild_id))
            self.synced = True

client = aclient()
tree = app_commands.CommandTree(client)

@tree.command(guild = discord.Object(id=guild_id), name = 'test', description='...')
async def test(interaction: discord.Interaction):
    await interaction.response.send_message(f"test", ephemeral = True) 

client.run('token')

[polar slate]

can you send it in DM ?

[hushed galleon]

commands.Bot still offers the cogs/extensions system which interoperates with slash commands fairly well, it's just somewhat annoying that dpy still requires the command_prefix= parameter...

[polar slate]

cant look at it RN

[unreal pilot]

this is probably not how you want to do it

[unreal pilot]

its not good practice to sync to the tree everytime

just add a regular bot.command that works with your prefix

to sync instead

[unreal pilot]

ok but you will actually need it for certain stuff at the beginning before you can move away from command prefixes

[hushed galleon]

no, you can ignore the prefix commands

[simple surge]

Regular commands are boring, either way adding a tree command won't do any harm to it.

They are a slash command, only way it's actually synced is if it's ran in the proper guild.

[unreal pilot]

not for syncing commands

[unreal pilot]

it will do harm as you get ratelimited very quickly by the endpoint

and why sync if there's no command changes?

for bot development you'll do a lot of relaunches in which you dont necessarily edit command parameters

[hushed galleon]

oh i thought you were asking a question, yeah having a prefix command for syncing is a good use

[simple surge]

I have several commands under the same system, never had issues.

[unreal pilot]

you do you, but its literally a day one thing that you learn in on_ready events

that syncing to the tree on launch is unnecessary and nooby

[simple surge]

There is stuff for on_ready 🤷

[vocal plover]

and using a prefix command to sync it is clunky

[unreal pilot]

that is not clunky at all lol?

[simple surge]

It works, do you think people care on how their code looks? It still works efficient.

[vocal plover]

how on earth are you gonna say that using a prefix command to sync things designed to remove prefix commands is not clunky lol

[unreal pilot]

youre not gonna win this argument

[next oracle]

I am looking for coding a discord bot

[unreal pilot]

its bad and nooby practice to include automatic tree syncing in on_ready

[simple surge]

As said, it works with no issues.

[hushed galleon]

as for this the ratelimit was like 2/30s last i checked, but it won't contribute to your 200 daily command creation rate limit unless you add or rename commands

[vocal plover]

true, on_connect is better

[unreal pilot]

'if it aint broke dont fix it' mentality

[simple surge]

Exactly..?

[next oracle]

I dont use discord since I forgot my old discord accounts password but I make bots for a website called hack.chat and I think it is simillar to hack.chat

[unreal pilot]

that is not a good thing

[simple surge]

Why would I waste time fixing something that doesn't need fixed?

[vocal plover]

unless you're paid to make discord bots, not wasting your time fixing stuff that works absolutely is a good thing

[simple surge]

You definitely make some garbage bots m8..

if you dont know that then youre not ready to develop with discordpy sorry

discordpy is a complicated library

[next oracle]

pOGO

[vocal plover]

Stop. This is a completely unfair way to treat beginners.

[next oracle]

I am going to come back here and show you

You are going to regret saying that

[simple surge]

Maybe work on organization 🤐

[unreal pilot]

[slate swan]

There’s nothing wrong with that 😂

[simple surge]

It's just messy, sure it works however the code is over two years old, if you were to repurpose that on a website it wouldn't work 💀

[vocal plover]

If making bots is why you wanna get into programming make bots. Yes, it's complex, but it's hardly gonna be fun to make stuff you don't care about. Plenty of people have got into development through Discord bots, and it's not our place to tell them they're not worthy of it. I suggest either helping and encouraging, or staying out of it, because convincing beginners that they're not good enough to do the thing inspiring them to develop isn't cool

[unreal pilot]

go to the dpy discord server, and ask the library maintainers if you dont trust me

[unreal pilot]

its not only messy, its bad practice 101

[simple surge]

He's saying I'm a noob cause of the way I sync my on_ready, however in the end it works with no issues.

[unreal pilot]

noi i didnt

i said it is nooby practice lol

[simple surge]

That's the same thing 💀

[slate swan]

How is it bad practice

[simple surge]

How do you structure your bots?

[vocal plover]

I'm really struggling to see how syncing upon startup is so terrible honestly, if it were a PUT request overwriting all commands then yeah, I'd understand, but as it is, just GETting all your commands, diffing, and updating ones that are needed is entirely reasonable, sensible even. There's a reason the ratelimit on GET commands is lower than POST/PATCH (or maybe it's PUT I can't remember), and that's because it's an inexpensive operation, which makes it suitable for that sort of use on startup

[next oracle]

How do I get a discord bot token?

[slate swan]

On the developer site for discord

[simple surge]

Discord Developer Portal

[next oracle]

Is it free?

[slate swan]

Yes

[unreal pilot]

Bot/event loop initializer with cog loaders on the main

Split all bot topics into a cogs folder and subclass from Cog per standalone utility

Seperate utils, database operations, blockchain operations.. you name it

keep cogs purely for discord comms and handle your more complex logic in seperate funcs

[next oracle]

is it application id Or public key?

[slate swan]

Huh

That’s not the bots token

[next oracle]

where do I get it?

[sick birch]

https://github.com/Robin5605/discord-bot-template usually how I do mine

[next oracle]

Nvm found it

[next oracle]

I found it already but thanks for offering help

[simple surge]

@sick birch what are your thoughts on this? he's saying the structure is nooby, however in the end the code base is fine?

What's your opinion on the way it's synced?

[unreal pilot]

Yes this is how i structure mine on the base level

[next oracle]

Uh

I made the bot and ran the code

[unreal pilot]

Code organisation is so important for discord bots

[next oracle]

How do i add it to a server

How severe is the rate limit for syncing? I don't think it even matters how you sync if you're not doing it hundreds of time in a single minute 🥴

[simple surge]

Go to bot on the developer dashboard, and toggle the intents.

[next oracle]

ok

[next oracle]

now wut

[slate swan]

Restart the bot

!intents - enable it in your code

[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.

[next oracle]

it did nothing even reset the token

[unreal pilot]

See what i mean

[naive briar]

Then help them understand 🤷

[next oracle]

oh thank you @naive briar

[naive briar]

If someone actually doesn't try, then that's another problem

I think its good

it keeps saying no privlegges

[next oracle]

I fixed it

Now how do i add it to a server

[slate swan]

Nvm I misread what you sent

[slate swan]

Select the permission your bot needs'

[next oracle]

thx

LETS GO

[unreal pilot]

No

[vocal plover]

then stay out of it /shrug, not your place to be telling others who not to help if they want to help

[next oracle]

Thank you guys so much I made my first bot it isnt the best but atleast I did it thank you guys so much

[slate swan]

is it possible to make it so no matter what perm level you have youre able to use commands like ban, kick etc with your bot?

[slate swan]

Perm level for the bot or the user

the bot has admin and is at the top of the roles list and i would just be a member with no permissions

[slate swan]

Yeah it's possible aslong as you give that user perms to use the command

On the bots end

[vocal plover]

you can, but speaking as a community manager if I found out a bot's owner was going around banning people through their bot even in servers they don't moderate I'd kick the bot and warn everyone I knew not to use it immediately, you shouldn't be claiming jurisdiction over other people's servers like that

[next oracle]

Firth that is a weird request I could help you only if its fine with this servers rules and you are using it for ethical purposes

[slate swan]

I would only be using it on servers i run/manage incase i was talking on an alt or for any other reason @vocal plover

[next oracle]

from discord.ext import commands

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

Please do not try backdooring any servers using this

[slate swan]

tysm, i didnt think youd write it all for me

Then just add bot.run('Your token')

Its not the best code I also used some templates to help me so I didnt do all of it

Formatting code on Discord

Here's how to format Python code on Discord:

```py
print('Hello world!')
```

These are backticks, not quotes. Check this out if you can't find the backtick key.

For long code samples, you can use our pastebin.

[next oracle]

ok thanks

[hushed galleon]

6 months ago i checked this, and the PUT /applications/{id}/commands endpoint returned a limit of 2 with it resetting after 29.999s

not that significant even if you do get throttled, so i guess setup_hook is okay enough for syncing

Uff, using the new ForumChannel.create_thread() method however discord answers with '''Failed to create forum thread. Error: 400 Bad Request (error code: 50006): Cannot send an empty message
Failed to post the topic.''' code: https://paste.pythondiscord.com/JEMA

[vocal plover]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/JEMA#1L84-L84 you need to provide content while creating the thread here, because you can't have an empty thread, you could move your embed from the thread.send call into the create_thread call

also as general improvements, you can apply tags while creating the thread by passing them into the applied_tags arg of the create_thread call, so you don't need a separate API call afterwards

[frail perch]

it seems to be working until it it doesn't no more. "Failed to create forum thread. Error: ForumChannel.create_thread() got an unexpected keyword argument 'message'
Failed to post the topic."

[vocal plover]

what are you passing to it? have you read the docs for what needs to be given to it?

!d discord.ForumChannel.create_thread

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ForumChannel.create\_thread

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

Creates a thread in this forum.

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

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

[vocal plover]

It seems like you're passing either content or embeds, but trying to provide it as message= when it should be embeds=[] or content="..."

[frail perch]

Oh, fixed it. Now only image url has to be passed, but it seems to stay empty ```async def create_forum_thread(channel_id, name, message, image_url=None, tag_ids=None):
channel = bot.get_channel(int(channel_id))
if not channel or not isinstance(channel, discord.ForumChannel):
print(f"Channel {channel_id} is not a ForumChannel or not found.")
return False

try:
    # Prepare the embed with the image (if provided)
    embed = None
    if image_url:
        embed = discord.Embed(description=message)
        embed.set_image(url=image_url)

    # Create a thread with the initial message and/or embed
    thread = await channel.create_thread(
        name=name, 
        auto_archive_duration=10080, 
        content=message if not embed else None, 
        embed=embed
    )

    # Apply tags to the thread if they exist
    if tag_ids:
        tag_objects = [discord.Object(id=tag_id) for tag_id in tag_ids]
        await thread.edit(applied_tags=tag_objects)

    return True
except Exception as e:
    print(f"Failed to create forum thread. Error: {e}")
    return False```

everything else comes through

In message.embeds.0.image.url: Not a well formed URL.

[unreal pilot]

!format

[frail perch]

could it be (url=image_url) not getting handeled correctly?

[unreal pilot]

use
```py
#code here
```

this is unreadible with no formatting

[frail perch]

as at the start of the script when printing it gets returned correctly

im making a logger that logs every message with my bot

how do i make it ignore certain channels/categories/members/servers?

@bot.event
async def on_message(message):
    channel = bot.get_channel(1197588840421019748)
    await channel.send("{} in {}: {}".format(str(message.author), message.guild.name, message.content))

this is what i have, i just want it to ignore this channel id (1197588840421019748)

[pale zenith]

as a rule of thumb, you should always ignore bots:

if message.author.bot:
    return

[slate swan]

tyty, that does seem very logical

!d discord.TextChannel.purge

[unkempt canyon]

discord.TextChannel.purge

await purge(*, limit=100, check=..., before=None, after=None, around=None, oldest_first=None, bulk=True, reason=None)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Purges a list of messages that meet the criteria given by the predicate `check`. If a `check` is not provided then all messages are deleted without discrimination.

You must have [`manage_messages`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Permissions.manage_messages) to delete messages even if they are your own. Having [`read_message_history`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Permissions.read_message_history) is also needed to retrieve message history.

Changed in version 2.0: The `reason` keyword-only parameter was added.

Examples

Deleting bot’s messages...

note the check= kwarg

accepts a callable that has a Message object as its input and a Boolean as its output

does any1 have a slash command discord bot template

[sick birch]

What is firthid? Is it a function that accepts a Message object and returns a boolean?

[slate swan]

its a variable with my userid

firthid = 719211519359058070

which im guessing is not how check works

[vale flint]

?

[sick birch]

well, check accepts a function that accepts a Message object and returns a bool
discord.py will call the function you provide and if it returns True, then it will delete the message. If it doesn't, then it won't

[sick birch]

this is what I use: https://github.com/Robin5605/discord-bot-template
feel free to modify it however you wish for app commands

can any1 help

[somber sky]

I have this command where badically what it does is where every single server has there own RC which is just a number, if a server runs the command twice instead of adding that number onto the list, it just updates it since the server ran it 2 times. But the problem I am having is that every single time that the bot restarts and a server who already did the command does it again, it adds on to the list instead of updating the list

so basically what im trying to do is regardless if i restart the bot or not, in my list there should not be 2 of the same id's, it should just update it

[slate swan]

@bot.command()
async def firth(ctx, amount: int = 500):
    if not ctx.message.author.id == firthid:

    async for m in ctx.channel.history(limit=amount+1):
        if m.author.id == firthid:
            to_delete.append(m)
        if len(to_delete)==100:
            await ctx.channel.delete_messages(to_delete)
            to_delete=[]
            
    if to_delete:
         await ctx.channel.delete_messages(to_delete) ```

ended up using that, a bot dev i know made it

i mean, that's a really roundabout way to do purge but ok

[woeful raft]

Hi , how can I make that everytime there is someone sending a message in a specific channel , my bot sends a messsage like @friend

[pale zenith]

you can use the on_message event

for example, https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/examples/reply.py

but instead, you can check if message.channel.id == your channel ID: and do stuff inside that if

[woeful raft]

im completlyt new to coding is there any video that could help me with that code ?

nvm i just realized

The unfortunate reality is that when it comes to discord.py, most videos aren't good. Most show bad practices, and could generally be misleading. And with the fast nature of the discord API, they tend to be out-of-date fairly quickly, so putting effort into making a good one is unfortunately pointless.

The best thing to do is first, try picking up the python basics before doing something complex like a discord bot. After that, the best place to help yourself is the official examples and documentation. (see this channel's topic)

See the main page of the docs. Especially the Getting Started section:
https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html

[somber sky]

@client.event
async def on_ready():
    async with aiosqlite.connect("main.db") as db:
        async with db.cursor() as cursor:
            await cursor.execute(
                'CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS users (settransactionschannel STRING, setlogschannel STRING, setalertschannel STRING, setgametimechannel STRING, setpickupschannel STRING, setstreamschannel STRING, setfreeagencychannel STRING, setnoticeschannel STRING, setverdictschannel, guild INTEGER, setdemandchannel STRING)'
            )
        await db.commit()
    async with aiosqlite.connect("main.db2") as db2:
        async with db2.cursor() as cursor:
            await cursor.execute(
                'CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS users (setrefereerole STRING, setcandidaterole STRING, setcaptainrole STRING, setsuspendedrole STRING, setstreamerrole STRING, guild INTEGER, seteligiblerole STRING)'
            )
        await db2.commit()```

```py
 async with aiosqlite.connect("main.db2") as db2:
    async with db2.cursor() as cursor:
        await cursor.execute(
            'SELECT setrefereerole FROM users WHERE guild = ?',
            (ctx.guild.id, ))
        data = await cursor.fetchone()
        if not data:
            pass
        else:
            refrole = ctx.guild.get.role(int(data[0]))```

```py
        if refrole is not None:
          refrole = refrole.mention
        else:
          refrole = "None"```

I set the role and it keeps returning as none it doesnt do this for any of the other ones like setcaptainrole or any of them so im really confused, maybe im not saying something im supposed to idk

[loud flicker]

Yes, when the bot gets restarted it loads all the commands. Though I'm trying to make it so I don't have to stop the bot every time I add a new cog, so i won't ruin the asyncio processes that it have currently running.

[harsh orbit]

can you give me example?

[nocturne urchin]

congrats! which project did you start with?

[vale wing]

Why do people like context managers this much, code is overindented

Also yeah gonna recommend some code design improvements

But to actual issue

[vale wing]

Browse the second db and see if the row is there. You don't have a primary key which is kinda bad too

And show how you insert the role

[naive briar]

Shouldn't there be an UnboundLocalError here or something?

[vale wing]

And now to design issues and heck they are major

1. You DO NOT need 2 databases. No matter the case, you DO NOT need 2 databases. I'm just completely sure about this, either merge two tables' columns together or create a separate table in main database. However if you have some messed up complex databases system that is shared among several projects you can keep it this way
2. One connection. Do not create connection every time you need to make a query. Instead, subclass your bot

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

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

    async def close(self):
        await self.db.close()
        await super().close()

    async def execute(self, query: str, args: tuple) -> aiosqlite.Cursor:
        # I forgot how it's done in aiosqlite but from what I remember this way, refer to docs or test to be sure
        cur = await self.db.execute(query, args)
        await self.db.commit()
        return cur

bot = MyBot(...)

3. SQL script. Instead of hardwriting CREATE TABLE into python code, bring them out to a separate .sql file and execute contents of the file on initialization. You can format the file nicely so you don't get confused.

Generally would recommend to look at my old birthday bot. Has some flaws and is not in dpy but good for understanding how to connect and use database in a better way

Yeah there's Connection.executescript() method now so you don't need that ugly for loop for file executing, can just pass entire file content

[primal wave]

anyone know how to code or what's the code for a auto delete user msg bot

[vale wing]

Please don't use headers for no reason. Answering the actual question, yes, plenty of people do ☺️

[primal wave]

can u help me

[vale wing]

With what ☺️

[primal wave]

how do i make it to where my bot auto deletes all the messages of a certain user's ID when they type

[vale wing]

Listen to on_message and compare message.author.id to that certain user's ID

[primal wave]

wait wym

[vale wing]

Well I am feeling spoon feeding so I am gonna spoonfeed

[primal wave]

🙏🏼

[vale wing]

import discord


client = discord.Client(intents=discord.Intents(message_content=True, guild_messages=True))

@client.event
async def on_message(message: discord.Message):
    if message.author.id == USER_YOU_WANNA_BULLY_ID:
        await message.delete()

client.run("TOKEN")

Very minimal, not even using commands framework 👁️👄👁️

[primal wave]

@vale wing oh snap

[ionic pilot]

if you don’t mind me asking, what’s your opinion on selfbots.

[vale wing]

They can be funny

Can be annoying

[primal wave]

fr

[primal wave]

will this work on a user acc

[ionic pilot]

some are useful

some funny too

but some are just un needed

[vale wing]

The lib just doesn't support selfbots

And we ain't helping with selfbots here

[primal wave]

ohhh so does that code work for a regular bot

[vale wing]

Yep

[primal wave]

how do i get it to work with a regular bot so the bot delete the msg

[vale wing]

By replacing corresponding things in that code, setting up environment and running it

I ain't wanna spoonfeed that sry

[primal wave]

alrr

so the discord bot gonna auto delete the msg @vale wing

[vale wing]

Yes

[primal wave]

alr

@vale wing how do i run it do i jus download

[vale wing]

😃

[primal wave]

alr

[latent pier]

How can i get Error's full traceback from on_command_error(ctx, error)

[dreamy dune]

You can use the traceback lib

[vale wing]

I struggled with fetching traceback from on_command_error cause for some reason error.__traceback__ was None. However yours is not so you can use traceback lib yeah

s = traceback.format_exc(error)

[latent pier]

Thanks for help

[shrewd apex]

• why would run a python bot using npm
• also you sure u have installed the correct discord library discord.py and don't have other forks installed simultaneously?

!pypi discord.py

[unkempt canyon]

discord.py v2.3.2

A Python wrapper for the Discord API

[hazy kraken]

I use that so that when I edit the document it runs automatically

[shrewd apex]

fair i suppose i have a custom function under my bot class which does that for me when i edit cogs

[hazy kraken]

which one you use?

[hazy kraken]

yes

[shrewd apex]

I have used a few of them so far ones discord.py and disnake are the ones that stand out for me mostly
disnake has hot reloading with cogs so thats a feature i liked a lot so i ported it over to discord.py

[vale wing]

I feel like npm just doesn't activate the venv

[hazy kraken]

i see

[shrewd apex]

pip install discord.py

[vale wing]

Instead of python bot.py try venv/Scripts/python.exe bot.py

[hazy kraken]

before worked for me.

[vale wing]

Or bin depending if you're on unix

[hazy kraken]

im in windows

[shrewd apex]

or u can just activate the venv and run the npm command (assuming the bot command is hard to edit or configure)

[vale wing]

Yeah

[vale wing]

Oh nvm I thought the module was not found

[slate swan]

You have installed something else thah discord.py

[vale wing]

It's an outdated library most definitely

[shrewd apex]

. @hazy kraken

[hazy kraken]

yes i made

[vale wing]

pip freeze

[shrewd apex]

also might wanna pip freeze and remove unwanted packages using pip uninstall

[slate swan]

just run this script ```py
import os
import sys

py_exec = sys.executable
uninstall_list = " -m pip uninstall nextcord py-cord interactions.py disnake dislash discord-py-slash-command discord.py-message-components enhanced-discord.py novus hata discord-interactions discord.py-self discord.py-self.embed discord2 python-discord reactionmenu discord_py_buttons discord_slash discord.py discord discord-ext-forms discord-ext-alternatives dpy-appcommands discord-ext-slash"

how to put this

[slate swan]

Put into python file and run it

[hazy kraken]

alr

[hazy kraken]

this?

[slate swan]

Yea

[hazy kraken]

alr

[vale wing]

Yeah bro got both pycord and discord.py

[hazy kraken]

i see-

[slate swan]

Yea i dont understand that language

[vale wing]

Just re-create the venv who knows what other sheep they got there

[slate swan]

But just uninstall py-cord

[hazy kraken]

oki

[north kiln]

his python is not in PATH

I think

[hazy kraken]

(.venv) PS C:\Users\zhiya\Desktop\discord BOT\momo-bot> python script.py

[north kiln]

also just listing all the packages name to uninstall looks funny to me

[hazy kraken]

maybe should i have to reinstalling the env?

[shrewd apex]

ur file path has a space in it which causes it to be unable to find the executable

u can instead do this

venv/Scripts/activate.bat
pip uninstall pycord

first like activates the venv in the current terminal and second line uninstalls pycord

[hazy kraken]

i cant-

[shrewd apex]

wdym u cant?

did u make sure u entered exactly what i sent above

[hazy kraken]

yes

alr now yes

[hazy kraken]

gave me error here

[shrewd apex]

thats fine its not an error

u can try running the bot now

[hazy kraken]

alr

[slate swan]

Install python-dotenv

!pypi python-dotenv

[unkempt canyon]

python-dotenv v1.0.0

Read key-value pairs from a .env file and set them as environment variables

[shrewd apex]

pip install python-dotenv

also make sure venv is enabled before any install process u run in the future same when ur running the bot

[hazy kraken]

again

[shrewd apex]

venv is off

enable it

to check if ur venv is on ur CLI will be prefixed like (momo-env)

[shrewd apex]

now run the npm command

always active the venv before running any commands

[hazy kraken]

can u help me with the sourcing of the cogs -

[shrewd apex]

tbh just use python to directly run the bot node seems painful here

[hazy kraken]

look

[hazy kraken]

i've
a folder called Cogs
inside of this folder i've 3 sub-folders: Events, prefixCommands, slashCommands
then inside of each folder i've the files of my cogs
i'm trying to doing this

async def load_extensions():
    for folder in os.listdir('./cogs'):
        if os.path.exists(os.path.join('./cogs', folder, )): 
            await client.load_extension(f'cogs.{folder[:-3]}')  

[shrewd apex]

thats not how u load cogs its partially correct ur pointing to the folder containing the cogs u need to point to the individual cogs as files instead

[hazy kraken]

the fact is that idk how ..

[shrewd apex]

so u would have to recursively or through some other method get all files in the directory

[hazy kraken]

how to do it recursively?

[shrewd apex]

!d glob.glob

[unkempt canyon]

glob.glob

glob.glob(pathname, *, root_dir=None, dir_fd=None, recursive=False, include_hidden=False)```
Return a possibly empty list of path names that match *pathname*, which must be a string containing a path specification. *pathname* can be either absolute (like `/usr/src/Python-1.5/Makefile`) or relative (like `../../Tools/*/*.gif`), and can contain shell-style wildcards. Broken symlinks are included in the results (as in the shell). Whether or not the results are sorted depends on the file system. If a file that satisfies conditions is removed or added during the call of this function, whether a path name for that file will be included is unspecified.

[shrewd apex]

!d os.walk

[unkempt canyon]

os.walk

os.walk(top, topdown=True, onerror=None, followlinks=False)```
Generate the file names in a directory tree by walking the tree either top-down or bottom-up. For each directory in the tree rooted at directory *top* (including *top* itself), it yields a 3-tuple `(dirpath, dirnames, filenames)`.

[shrewd apex]

either method works

[hazy kraken]

should be like this right?

[dense coral]

Hey! I want to make a smart leaderboard that updates every 10 minutes.
But the problem is that my bot is public, and I want to know what is the best way to do it with hundreds of servers.

[vale wing]

Make sure your setup()s and add_cog()s are async

[hazy kraken]

Alr

[vale wing]

Make a loop and just fetch the data?

In typical database it would look like

SELECT id, score FROM guilds ORDER BY score DESC LIMIT 10```

[dense coral]

ik i have already done the leaderboard

[vale wing]

So you only want the background loop?

[dense coral]

yeah

but I have 100 servers

[vale wing]

!d discord.ext.tasks.loop check entire page, there are plenty of examples

[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).

[dense coral]

what's reconnect do?

[vale wing]

You want to update the lb in each server or smth?

[vale wing]

Everything's in docs

[dense coral]

in each server

[hazy kraken]

finally works tysm

[dense coral]

I have done it, but the loop doesn't work

it prints "1" but didn't edit the message... can I send u the full code in dms?

this is the loop start:

            self.smartleaderboard.start()```

[vale wing]

1. You are planning to do a very expensive operation every 10 seconds. Change it to 10 minutes at least
2. No ORDER BY clause

Do not send me code in dms, instead use pasting service

!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]

Regarding style of your aiosqlite code, check [this](#discord-bots message), 2nd point

[dense coral]

I put it in a 10 second queue so that I don't have to wait every time to check that it edits the message. There is an ORDER BY later in the code.

[vale wing]

Okay send full code

[vale wing]

With this

I’m having a problem in the interaction on a Selection

[dense coral]

here's the relevant code.

[vale wing]

Ok will check that

ty

[vale wing]

Also start the loop in init

[dense coral]

wdym

on the class?

[vale wing]

You checked the examples in doc I linked?

There's an example for cog which shows precisely what I mean

On top of page jic

@dense coral could you also send database structure

[dense coral]

class Smartleaderboard(commands.Cog):
    def __init__(self, bot):
        self.bot = bot
        self.smartleaderboard.start()```
you mean like this?

[young dagger]

Is there any way I could add the emojis in an easier way? They must be in the order: top, jungle, mid, adc, support for each team.

role_emojis = [':top:', ':jungle:', ':mid:', ':adc:', ':support:']

embed.add_field(name=":crossed_swords: Custom Team 1",
                value=f"".join(f"\n> {role_emojis[i]} {u['member'].mention}" for i, u in enumerate(team_1)),
                inline=True)

embed.add_field(name=":crossed_swords: Custom Team 2",
                value=f"".join(f"\n> {role_emojis[i]} {u['member'].mention}" for i, u in enumerate(team_2)),
                inline=True)

[hazy kraken]

Not working the commands

[vale wing]

Yep

[dense coral]

It's not a problem with the database, when I checked the leaderboard without a loop it worked well.

[vale wing]

No I just need the structure to understand what you are even doing there

That thing can be optimized a lot I'm pretty sure

[hazy kraken]

https://github.com/lz20r/momo/tree/main/cogs

[dense coral]

"CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS servers (message ID, info TEXT, users TEXT, votes INTEGER, guild ID)" #table to save all servers and their votes (like top.gg), the message is the vote message
"CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS smartleaderboards (channel INTEGER, message INTEGER, guild ID)" # save all the smart leaderboards to update them easy and check if there is already one of each server.

I have this information if it'll help u

[vale wing]

Those if chains scare me

[vale wing]

What's the ID datatype? It must be INTEGER maybe?

Also no PK in both tables

[hazy kraken]

But idk why … not reading the commands

[dense coral]

It's the same as INTEGER, but it works.

[hazy kraken]

Is MySQL?

[vale wing]

Sqlite

[hazy kraken]

Ooh

[dense coral]

what is PK?

[hazy kraken]

Primary key

[dense coral]

oh

why do I need a pk? (I am relatively new as sqlite)

[hazy kraken]

Wait maybe can meaning other thing

[hazy kraken]

NOW YES

[vale wing]

You have settings unique to guild ID? Need a PK on guild id. PK, similarly to UNIQUE constraint, prevents multiple rows with same value in constrained column

https://www.sqlitetutorial.net/sqlite-primary-key/

[red blade]

does anyone know why i am getting an invalid token error when i use the correct token?

[naive briar]

Bot or user token? 🤨

[pale zenith]

inb4 it's the client secret

[red blade]

bot token.

[dense coral]

Ok but is this what is causing the problem?

[young dagger]

How can I make two fields next to each other of total 4 fields?

[pale zenith]

third field is invisible characters

like \u200b (note that this looks dogshit on mobile)

could also be simply two fields

[young dagger]

Hahah I know. Is there no other way to do it?

[pale zenith]

i think this is the best option, that would look decent-ish on mobile

[young dagger]

Something like this?

    {
      name: "Custom Team 1",
      value: "@Beerhunter (1545)\n\n**Summoner Name**\nThe Beerhunter #EUW",
      inline: true
    },
    {
      name: "Custom Team 2",
      value: "@Sami (1659)\n\n**Summoner Name**\nSami #EUW",
      inline: true
    },

[pale zenith]

yup

[young dagger]

Mhm intresting, thanks @pale zenith

[pale zenith]

no problem

wow nice i had such idea some time ago to create embeds in discord directly with components it provides but abandoned it idk why tbh

[pale zenith]

I still have some stuff missing

ive just been lazy

[sick birch]

based

[sullen chasm]

@client.tree.command(name="add_dev", description="Gives Dev Roles")
async def count_interaction(interaction: discord.Member):
Member.add_roles(id="1197257756038680696")
await interaction.response.send_message("Given Role!")

its not working

[vale wing]

This is so wrong the only thing I can do is spoonfeed 😭

Why is interaction typehinted as discord.Member 😭

[sick birch]

is this supposed to be a context menu

[sullen chasm]

im not sure im new

[vale wing]

Why do you call object-unbound Member.add_roles 😭

And it doesn't even have id kwarg 😭

[vale wing]

What do you want the command to do

[sullen chasm]

give a player a role

[vale wing]

Is this command that displays in "apps" when you right click user/message

Or just slash

[sullen chasm]

im trying to make it do /add_role [username]

[sick birch]

Okay. The format for slash command callback parameters is the first argument is always going to be interaction: discord.Interaction (unless it's inside a class, in which it'll have self like usual) - then followed by each slash command argument and it's type. In your case, since you want to accept a user, you'll be accepting a discord.Member:

async def add_role(interaction: discord.Interaction, member: discord.Member):
  ...

[vapid parcel]

In what senario would this occur? Where a bot can NOT add reactions to a users message?

Because im thinking the bot can't add reactions because the user has it blocked? But I don't know if that can mess with it..?

[hushed galleon]

besides blocking the bot or not having the add reactions permission, i'm not aware of any other ways it can fail

How to setup premium in discord.py?

Like the coding part, I got the dev portal part.

[hushed galleon]

the premium/entitlement features are still in master branch, and i think the release was being postponed for a discord change? not sure when the next release will happen, but for now you'll have to install from the repository to use entitlements
i believe this commit contains the changes for it, but you can also see the latest docs like Interaction.entitlements and InteractionResponse.require_premium()

[vapid parcel]

I am confused asf

[hushed galleon]

confused about what?

[vapid parcel]

wanting to know how to make a command be premium, and if discord has a way to check if the user is premium..?

Thats what im talking abt.

[hushed galleon]

if you have the development version installed from the discord.py repo, i assume you can check Interaction.entitlements to see if they paid for a particular Stock-Keeping Unit, and if not you can use interaction.response.require_premium() to tell them that it's premium

weird that the commit didnt include an app_commands.check for convenience

[vapid parcel]

So there is a development version? So I have to have that development version of discord.py to use Premium related things?

[hushed galleon]

"development version" really means installing directly from the git repository

for example pip install git+https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py for the latest commit, or for installing a specific commit, pip install git+https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py@cb3ea9b889dcdefa5aa81b1dc7ce4e3e87abeeb0

[vapid parcel]

So I would need the development version tho right?

[hushed galleon]

either pinned to this commit or anything afterwards

[vapid parcel]

So I should just do pip install git+https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py@cb3ea9b889dcdefa5aa81b1dc7ce4e3e87abeeb0? Then look at docs on how to do it?

[hushed galleon]

yes, and specifically latest docs

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

[vapid parcel]

So, it does have an auto check correct?

[hushed galleon]

based on the discord api docs no, your code has to check the entitlements manually
https://discord.com/developers/docs/monetization/entitlements#using-entitlements-in-interactions

thats why i was wondering why there wasn't an app_commands.check to make it a bit easier

[vapid parcel]

Is there any examples?

[hushed galleon]

doesnt look like it

[vapid parcel]

hm...

[hushed galleon]

huh, api docs you're only allowed to publish one SKU, so i guess thats why they dont allow specifying a particular SKU with require_premium()

well regardless, just based on their documentation i assume you'd use it like: ```py
@tree.command()
async def my_command(interaction):
has_premium = False
for entitlement in interaction.entitlements:
if entitlement.sku_id == 1234:
has_premium = True

if not has_premium:
    return await interaction.response.require_premium()``` `discord.utils.get()` would make it a bit simpler too

[vapid parcel]

This is lowkey annoying too cuz you have to have a verified bot to test this stuff on n stuff

[hushed galleon]

curiously there's Interaction.entitlement_sku_ids but it checks for entitlement_skus in the interaction payload which isn't documented on the discord API

[vapid parcel]

which is like more down time ya know lol

[slate swan]

is it hard to integrate chatgpt into a discord bot?

No

so back to my wordle command as i have some free time so i get into it and i wanted to change the footer when someone got the answer or lost so i have added this code to my function that changes the embed:```py
def update_embed(embed: discord.Embed, guess: str) -> discord.Embed:
puzzle_id = int(embed.footer.text.split()[16])
answer = popular_words[puzzle_id]
colored_word = generate_color_word(guess, answer)
empty_slot = generate_blanks()
embed.description = embed.description.replace(empty_slot, colored_word, 1)

try:
    if guess == answer:
        num_empty_slots = embed.description.count(empty_slot)
        if num_empty_slots == 0:
            embed.footer(text="\n\nPhew!")
        if num_empty_slots == 1:
            embed.footer(text="\n\nGreat!")
        if num_empty_slots == 2:
            embed.footer(text="\n\nSplendid!")
        if num_empty_slots == 3:
            embed.footer(text= "\n\nImpressive!")
        if num_empty_slots == 4:
            embed.footer(text="\n\nMagnificent!")
        if num_empty_slots == 5:
            embed.footer(text= "\n\nGenius!")
        elif num_empty_slots == 0:
            embed.footer(text=f"\n\nThe answer was {answer}!")
    return embed
except Exception as e:

[fading yew]

question regarding database schema and storing variables of unfixed data type, if anyone could take a glance:
https://discordapp.com/channels/267624335836053506/1198183954784731166/1198183954784731166

[vale wing]

You mentioned that "an event can be practically anything" which is totally wrong. The events your bot can handle are limited and you are to define them.

Regarding unfixed amount of keys there are several solutions

1. Just switch to json-like db like mongo
2. Use JSON data type (from what I saw your engine supports that). If it doesn't, you can always store it as plain text lol
3. Create some table with guild, key, type and value columns. Essentially any data can be interpreted as text and all you have to do is convert it based on type.

I strongly feel like you have xy problem rn and the desired result can be reached in another way

[fading yew]

An event can be practically anything tho (yeah, ik I'd need to write the code for it).. I could make it so that, on the click of a button, my garage door opened/closed (I don't actually have a garage, just saying).

2. Is pretty much what I did, yeah. 1 and 3 are other options which I've considered, as listed in my comment. Question is, what's "better"?

Could be xy, but in what other way could I reach this result? That's the question

[vale wing]

Still, event does not mean "anything", but rather "anything that bot can do", "anything that I coded". As for what's better, I'd say whatever produces cleaner code both in SQL and in python. Are you sure that number of keys is floating and not just some guilds have certain keys and some do not?

What feature are you trying to implement

[fading yew]

The point is that guild mods should be able to add variables on their own via events (maybe this is a bad word because of its context in the library, I just mean a set of defined instructions) or manually through a simple gui, and then use those variables for executing other events

[fading yew]

That's the thing, the list of features isn't fully defined yet and will be expanding. I was explicitly told that the bot needs to be able to store user and guild variables, as I described in the post, so that's what I'm trying to do, and make it work with "events", where I will be adding the code for new events as needed, so that others could then branch-chain "events" together to create a possible sequence of actions (they'll be doing this through a gui of sorts)

[vale wing]

Do you mean like custom commands

[restive mantle]

How come this doesnt work, the error I keep getting is: ImportError: cannot import name 'Intents' from 'discord' (unknown location)

import os

import discord
from discord import Intents
from discord.ext import commands

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

# Create a bot instance with a command prefix
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='!', intents=intents)

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

# Command: Ping
@bot.command(name='ping')
async def ping(ctx):
    await ctx.send('Pong!')

# Run the bot with the token
bot.run("")

[vale wing]

If that's what I think about, you can just make sort of custom commands language and parse it

[vale wing]

Lib conflict / installation problem. Do you use venv?

[restive mantle]

All I have installed is discord.py

[vale wing]

Did you install it in venv

[restive mantle]

Nope, I installed it in visual studio terminal

[vale wing]

Yeah no venv then

!venv

[unkempt canyon]

Virtual environments

Virtual environments are isolated Python environments, which make it easier to keep your system clean and manage dependencies. By default, when activated, only libraries and scripts installed in the virtual environment are accessible, preventing cross-project dependency conflicts, and allowing easy isolation of requirements.

To create a new virtual environment, you can use the standard library venv module: python3 -m venv .venv (replace python3 with python or py on Windows)

Then, to activate the new virtual environment:

Windows (PowerShell): .venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1
or (Command Prompt): .venv\Scripts\activate.bat
MacOS / Linux (Bash): source .venv/bin/activate

Packages can then be installed to the virtual environment using pip, as normal.

For more information, take a read of the documentation. If you run code through your editor, check its documentation on how to make it use your virtual environment. For example, see the VSCode or PyCharm docs.

Tools such as poetry and pipenv can manage the creation of virtual environments as well as project dependencies, making packaging and installing your project easier.

Note: When using PowerShell in Windows, you may need to change the execution policy first. This is only required once per user:

Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser

[restive mantle]

So I should install this instead?

[fading yew]

They don't create custom commands, but they do need to be able to chain pre-created custom commands, which I will be adding as necessary, which will be using user/guild variables

[vale wing]

You only need the note and how to create venv. To activate it, ctrl + shift + p -> Python: Select Interpreter and select the venv inside your current project. After that, make sure to create new terminal and do pip install discord.py @restive mantle

[vale wing]

Just make custom language and parse it

[fading yew]

How is that? O.o
And what about storing the variables?

[restive mantle]

Which of these should I choose?

[vale wing]

You can do smth like

COMMAND ban_and_log
BAN(id: {args[0]}, reason: {args[1:]})
SEND({settings.LOG_CHANNEL}, "Banned stupid <@{args[0]}> for {args[1]}")

Might be a bad design of language but it's up to you how to do that

Just don't use exec when parsing ☺️

[vale wing]

Read the embed first, you clearly never created venv

Also install python from official python site, ms store version is broken af

[vale wing]

That thing is pretty scalable, can make UI command blocks like in scratch that will convert to your code; to add a new feature you just update parser, and so on and so on

Data storage comes to just a bunch of text

@fading yew

[fading yew]

Could I get a link to an article/blog explaining this approach? I don't quite get what exactly this gives me. I'd still need to map this custom language to python code and integrate it with the library, right? What exactly does it give me? I'm a bit confused on how this'll be helpful, maybe I'm looking at it from the wrong angle

[vale wing]

I just made this approach up-

It gives you the extensibility

[restive mantle]

I have now installed venv, And now I have plenty of new things in my explorer. Where would I add my main.py script?

Thanks for the help also🤍

[vale wing]

And how can you do something without python code?

[vale wing]

You created a venv inside venv

[restive mantle]

oh god

🧍‍♂️

[vale wing]

🗣️

Delete the inner one and open parent directory

[fading yew]

Who would be using this custom language again? 😅 I was thinking I'd do smth more like: a searchable drop-down menu with possible pre-defined "actions/events/commands", when chosen, additional options may appear, and the ability to chain this to another one. But this is about the gui. I'm just thinking about how to store the stuff. I wouldn't be storing the python code, that would just be.. well, part of the bot. The events table would hold the unique name of one of these "actions" from which one can choose from a drop-down, which would be the key in a python dictionary, containing the function to be executed with the other stored parameters from the events table, pulling variables if needed from the value table. After creating such a chain of events, it would be executed.
How does this custom language help me store stuff? I don't get it

[restive mantle]

I accidentally uninstalled all my folders

but now everything is restored ☺️

[vale wing]

The custom language serialises those actions

[vale wing]

So you now have a project root and venv folder inside right?

[restive mantle]

Well is a project root a main folder? Because I have a folder named commission bot, and inside there I have venv.

[late cypress]

how can i get user id from username

[vale wing]

Show your current file hierarchy

[vale wing]

In what context

[restive mantle]

It's kinda weird tho, because I watched some yt tutorials. And they don't use venv and still get it to work.

[vale wing]

Seems alright. Create python scripts in root dir, not in venv

[vale wing]

Cause they stoopid

[restive mantle]

I see

[vale wing]

Now do ctrl + shift + p -> Python: Select Interpreter

[restive mantle]

And what is a root dir

ok

[vale wing]

The dir where your venv is

Can also collapse the venv since you don't need its contents

[restive mantle]

So like this then?

[vale wing]

It is possible ofc, but just install both discord.py and pycord globally and not a single project will run. Venvs are for isolating dependencies

[vale wing]

I have no idea what "open editors" is but the hierarchy is ok

[vale wing]

Did this?

[restive mantle]

Open editors is just what scripts I have open

You don't use visual studio?

[vale wing]

I have it, but my open scripts display as tabs

[restive mantle]

Yepp I did this

Now lets see if the code works

[vale wing]

Great, now open new terminal and install dpy

Make sure there's (venv) at the beginning of prompt

[restive mantle]

Should I uptade?

[vale wing]

You can but that's optional

[restive mantle]

Alrighty, now when that's done

Lets see if the code works

[late cypress]

member = await guild.fetch_member(username='msii9')
return member.id

how can i get user id from username because fetch_member only takes id

[vale wing]

guild.get_member_named("username").id

[restive mantle]

@vale wing It's working now man!! Thanks for the massive help. 🫶

[late cypress]

discord.ext.ipcx Error in join_channel: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'id'

member = await guild.get_member_named('msii9').id
return member   ```

[vale wing]

First, it's not a coroutine hence you don't need to await it

Second, is members intent on

[late cypress]

ah

it worked

[vale wing]

but you can only accept for example text channels only

then its

!d discord.TextChannel

[unkempt canyon]

discord.TextChannel

class discord.TextChannel```
Represents a Discord guild text channel.

x == y Checks if two channels are equal.

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

hash(x) Returns the channel’s hash.

str(x) Returns the channel’s name.

[drifting arrow]

so do I just do "If type(input) == "TextChannel" i'll detect if someone has @'d a channel instead of using a channel ID?

[slate swan]

you can use built in converters

instead of checking for correct type manually

https://fallendeity.github.io/discord.py-masterclass/converters/#discordpy-built-in

this is an example with prefixed command but if you are using slash commands then its https://fallendeity.github.io/discord.py-masterclass/slash-commands/#slash-command-parameters

[restive mantle]

How can I create these boxes? Instaed of the bot sending just a normal message?

Or what's the name of these boxes

[slate swan]

its called an embed

[naive briar]

Those are called embeds

[restive mantle]

ooo thanks

[slate swan]

https://fallendeity.github.io/discord.py-masterclass/embeds/

more about it here

[restive mantle]

👍

[drifting arrow]

Ty @slate swan 😄

This change is much better

now I dont have to rely on people doing the command right.

[slate swan]

[drifting arrow]

While im here. How do I make a command sleep for a second?

Someone mentioned it once before

like many days ago

[slate swan]

!d asyncio.sleep

[unkempt canyon]

asyncio.sleep

coroutine asyncio.sleep(delay, result=None)```
Block for *delay* seconds.

If *result* is provided, it is returned to the caller when the coroutine completes.

`sleep()` always suspends the current task, allowing other tasks to run.

Setting the delay to 0 provides an optimized path to allow other tasks to run. This can be used by long-running functions to avoid blocking the event loop for the full duration of the function call.

Example of coroutine displaying the current date every second for 5 seconds:

[spark nimbus]

well i have my bot bot with not many commands and i thought to create more commands but i need ideas if you have something that can be challenging and fun after pls reply

[vale wing]

Discord mod simulator! Very challenging to make, bobux bot dev team can't complete this for 6 months!

[spark nimbus]

what is this?

what are the functions?

[vale wing]

Sorry it was a local meme

[spark nimbus]

ok

[vale wing]

Tbh I already spent all my ideas on bobux bot so can't really help

[spark nimbus]

ok

[restive mantle]

Make a tag system😋

[mighty pilot]

how could i get an emoji object out of message content

end goal is to get the link for the emoji someone sends

[naive briar]

You'd have the extract the emoji IDs from the content yourself

With re or something similar

[mighty pilot]

gross, regex

alright, thanks. wasnt sure if there was an easier way i wasnt aware of

[spark nimbus]

tag system?

[slate swan]

anyone know a good low cost db that i can use for my bot?

[mighty pilot]

like sqlite?

[honest falcon]

@bot.event
async def on_message(message):
    if message.mentions:
        for member in message.mentions:
            if member.status == discord.Status.offline:
                await message.channel.send(f'{member.name} is currently offline.')
            break

i tried to code a bot that when someone being mentioned but offline, the bot gonna notify that they are offline, but when i test the bot, anyone i mention, both online and offline, triggered the bot, anyway to fix this?

[mighty pilot]

anyone have a problem with hybrid commands only working via slash command and not working via text command?

you can do hybrid commands and slash commands on one bot, correct?

[naive briar]

Yes

[mighty pilot]

yea everything slash is working but its not triggering if i use the prefix

which is the opposite of what i thought would happen when changing this from prefix only command to hybrid

[naive briar]

Are you sure you have the right intents?

[mighty pilot]

all intents

[naive briar]

Processing commands?

[mighty pilot]

wym

[naive briar]

Are you overriding the on_message event? If so, you'd need to call the process command method

I have no more idea after this 🫠

[mighty pilot]

i have an on_message event in a seperate cog

[naive briar]

Maybe check your bot's permissions to view the channel that you're running the command?

[mighty pilot]

this bot has basically admin permissions

[mighty pilot]

how do i do this? call the process command method disregard, i got it

the hybrid command works flawlessly on one bot, but only the slash command works on the other bot. same cog for both. both have all intents. both bots have the same permissions.

oh theres an on_message in the main file.. thats gotta be it

[slate swan]

So... how do embed videos work? looking at the docs and saw that was added. do I just input parameters of the url, height and width and it'll implement it into the embed?

or is it something I can't set and just use image/thumbnail for that data?

[restive mantle]

What have you tried so far?

[honest falcon]

@bot.event
async def on_message(message):
    if message.mentions:
        for member in message.mentions:
            if member.status == discord.Status.offline:
                await message.channel.send(f'{member.name} is currently offline.')
            break 

i tried to code a bot that when someone being mentioned but offline, the bot gonna notify that they are offline, but when i test the bot, anyone i mention, both online and offline, triggered the bot, anyway to fix this?

[late cypress]

class MyBot(commands.Bot):
     async def on_member_join(self, member):
        role = discord.utils.get(member.guild.roles, id=role_id)
        await member.add_roles(role)    

this on_member_join isnt asigning role on member join whats wront with it

[vapid parcel]

    @commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_message_delete(self, message):
        log_channel_id = await get_deleted_messages(server_id=message.guild.id, db_connection=self.bot.db_connection)

        if log_channel_id:
            log_channel = self.bot.get_channel(log_channel_id)

            if message.content:
                log_embed = discord.Embed(
                    title="Message Deleted",
                    description=f"Message in {message.channel.mention} deleted.",
                    timestamp=discord.utils.utcnow(),
                    color=config.main_color
                )
                log_embed.add_field(name="Content", value=f"``{message.content}``", inline=False)

                log_embed.set_footer(text=config.footer_text, icon_url=self.bot.user.avatar.url)
                log_embed.set_author(name=message.author.display_name, icon_url=message.author.avatar)
                log_embed.set_thumbnail(url=message.author.avatar)

                await log_channel.send(embed=log_embed)```


How could I make this ignore bulk deletions? basically purges. Because if another bot purges, its gonna want to log all of those, it would probably spam the hell out of my bot too

[vapid parcel]

Or how I can do a special embed for Bulk messages/purged messages.

[tiny coyote]

how to get user icon

[drifting arrow]

;-; it annoys me this isnt a thing

[naive briar]

!d discord.User.avatar

[unkempt canyon]

discord.User.avatar

property avatar```
Returns an [`Asset`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Asset) for the avatar the user has.

If the user has not uploaded a global avatar, `None` is returned. If you want the avatar that a user has displayed, consider [`display_avatar`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.User.display_avatar).

[naive briar]

You'd have to listen to the on_audit_log_entry_create, check if the action is message deletion, then check if the amount of messages deleted is greater than 2

[vapid parcel]

Thanks, but someone just helped me

Nice

I didn't even realize that event existed

I didnt either

is using dict effective in discord coding.?

[golden portal]

that doesn't have anything to do with discord, but dictionaries are pretty good with data lookup speed, it's good for any program you're writing on given a need for it

            await c.execute("SELECT * FROM status WHERE id = ? ", (message.author.id,))
            
            ID = await c.fetchone()

            await c.execute("SELECT * FROM enemy WHERE id = ?", (message.author.id,))

            enemy = await c.fetchone()

            await c.execute("SELECT * FROM points WHERE id = ?", (message.author.id,))

            p = await c.fetchone()

            # CHECKING IF DATA EXISTS AND IF NOT CREATING DATA
            if not ID:
                await c.execute("INSERT INTO status (id, Name, Level, Fruit, hp, health, damage, xp, xpr, levelr, style) VALUES (?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?)", (message.author.id, "NULL", 0, "None", 10, 10, 1, 0, 5, 15, "Fist"))

            if not enemy:
                await c.execute("INSERT INTO enemy (id, en, eh, ehr, es, el) VALUES(?,?,?,?,?,?)",(message.author.id, 'Snake', 5, 5, 0.5, 0))
            
            if not p:
                await c.execute("INSERT INTO points (id, p, hp, dmg) VALUES(?,?,?,?)",(message.author.id, 3, 1, 1))
            
            # FINISH COLLECTING OR CREATING DATA
        
            
    

                
            
        await db.commit()
    await bot.process_commands(message)

No error received, doesn't do anything tho not sure why

does message.authoer.id and ctx.author.id not give the same value.?

hey guys I'm working on my first discord bot and it says it's online and it says it's connected and stuff but it wont reply when I do my command, here's my code (removing the token):

#TOKEN: token

import discord
from discord.ext import commands

intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.messages = True
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix=';', intents=intents)

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
    print(f'Logged in as {bot.user.name} ({bot.user.id})')
    
    # Get the channel where you want the bot to send a message
    channel_id = 1198210346314387456  # Replace with the actual channel ID
    channel = bot.get_channel(channel_id)
    
    # Check if the channel is valid
    if channel:
        await channel.send('Hello, I am your bot! I am now online.')
    else:
        print(f"Error: Channel with ID {channel_id} not found.")

@bot.command(name='hello')
async def hello(ctx):
    global channel
    print("Command Received")
    await channel.send('Hello, I am your bot!')

bot.run('token')

[prisma mica]

also I've discovered that it can't read messages for some reason

I've used the simple script provided my all tutorials to try and host a discord bot, but why can't i get the link to the created web server? it was working fine two months ago, so idk why it suddenly only shows the server as "/"

How to get invites n stuff like that, on member join. So when someone joins, we wanna know Invite link, and Invite Link Creator, how can we do that?

Is there a way to send emails with the bot with some other library?

[naive briar]

!d email

[unkempt canyon]

email

Source code: Lib/email/__init__.py

The email package is a library for managing email messages. It is specifically not designed to do any sending of email messages to SMTP (RFC 2821), NNTP, or other servers; those are functions of modules such as smtplib and nntplib. The email package attempts to be as RFC-compliant as possible, supporting RFC 5322 and RFC 6532, as well as such MIME-related RFCs as RFC 2045, RFC 2046, RFC 2047, RFC 2183, and RFC 2231.

The overall structure of the email package can be divided into three major components, plus a fourth component that controls the behavior of the other components.

[slate swan]

Have you even tried debugging it on your own

e.g. adding print statements to understand the actual flow of your code and where it goes/doesn't go - and what the results of the queries are

Because just sending "..." after like 7 hours or something of not doing anything, not even trying, is pretty much useless

i fell asleep

been working on this all night

But why does message.author.id return a different value from ctx.author.id. Ive been searching for answers but i dont get anything

Is there a channel to help people with a code file for a discord bot?

[tiny coyote]

here manz

Oh cool, thank you.

[slate swan]

It doesn't

!d discord.Message.author

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message.author

A Member that sent the message. If channel is a private channel or the user has the left the guild, then it is a User instead.
