if i need to send a message do i really need to pass in parameters

[shrewd apex]

!e def foo(x): ...
foo()

[unkempt canyon]

@shrewd apex :x: Your 3.12 eval job has completed with return code 1.

001 | Traceback (most recent call last):
002 |   File "/home/main.py", line 2, in <module>
003 |     foo()
004 | TypeError: foo() missing 1 required positional argument: 'x'

[lyric solar]

oh i just realized "interaction" was unused

but im worrying bout self now

[shrewd apex]

interaction you don't need you're not even using it as for self ur getting .values or some data from it how idk

[shrewd apex]

no the option index part

self.values

[lyric solar]

this?

[shrewd apex]

yes

[lyric solar]

okay im confused on what to do now

i have self, and it is being used

[shrewd apex]

lmao u have no idea what ur code is doing

[lyric solar]

im so confused

[shrewd apex]

also idk why u need that # discriminators are not even a thing anymore

[lyric solar]

if i remove self, it will warn me that its not defined

[shrewd apex]

yes

[lyric solar]

so do i need to change this:

        option_index = int(self.values[0].split('#')[-1]) - 1
        selected_data = self.data[option_index]```

[shrewd apex]

well u need to access values whatever that is idk as for data u can just open the json file in the function

[lyric solar]

in ExpandDropdown
self.data is defined as "data"

@shrewd apex am i supposed to be able to call send_updated()

[shrewd apex]

which is the code ur using the Select or the above

Select one seems fine but u need to attach it to a view and send a message

[lyric solar]

i copy pasted the callback

[shrewd apex]

yeah no it doesn't work that way

[lyric solar]

im trying to

[shrewd apex]

u need to use it as it is

[lyric solar]

the send_updated() is supposed to make a message

[shrewd apex]

that won't work

[lyric solar]

why not

how can i call this then to let the function know i want to send a message

[shrewd apex]

were just going round in circles u obviously don't know basic python anything i do needs to be spoonfed

[lyric solar]

i have a headache

ive spent 2 days at this project i dont wanna throw it in the bin

[shrewd apex]

if u just want to send a simple message remove all the parameters from send_updated and remove embed and then create a view instance and pass it to the send method also the view instance needs the data object which u loaded from the json file

[lyric solar]

i want to send a simple message with an embed attached to it

• the select menu

[slow knot]

i know thres an extension to like use the terminal but in the chat, do you know what its called

@shrewd apex

[shrewd apex]

like the eval command in python bot?

or do you mean like accessing the actual underlying terminal of the PC running the bot?

[slow knot]

yeah

theres something i can dowload

[shrewd apex]

well jishaku has one

[slow knot]

thats the name

[shrewd apex]

but restricted to owner only

[slow knot]

thanks

its called jsk also right

[shrewd apex]

as an alias yeah

[slow knot]

thanks

[shrewd apex]

np

[slow knot]

also

my bot wont respond to ping

import discord
from discord.ext import commands

intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.typing = False
intents.presences = False

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

if __name__ == '__main__':
    bot.load_extension('jishaku')

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

@bot.command()
async def ping(ctx):
    await ctx.send('Pong!')

all intents are on

and i have bot.run also

@shrewd apex

[shrewd apex]

enable message_content intent

not dashboard in the code btw

u can do intents=discord.Intents.all()

[slow knot]

thanks

do i leave intents=intents?

[shrewd apex]

u can replace it there itself

instead of doing it in seperate lines

[slow knot]

oh right

[somber sky]

anyone got recommendations on what host to use for canada idk anything abt hosting

[raven kite]

Hey guys, i'm having problem with a cogs, that's the error:

discord.ext.commands.errors.ExtensionFailed: Extension 'cogs.ctfstart' raised an error: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'discord_slash'        ```
(i've already installed the module)

[final iron]

discord_slash and whatever tutorial you're following are obsolete

discord.py natively supports application commands

[raven kite]

oh ok

[somber sky]

yo pep what host do u recommend

[raven kite]

where can i found the documentation?

[vague matrix]

What are you gonna be hosting on it

[somber sky]

im making a public bot so it can be in multiple servers, i want it on 24/7

[raven kite]

DigitalOcean, Linode are the best vps hosting (for serius project) for starting contabo is good

[vague matrix]

Usually people use path network's for discord bot's -- From what I've seen, Low-latency & high performance.

If you want to make it big you should host the bot on different shards though.

[somber sky]

my bot is pretty big too over 3k lines of code so idk what is good for soemthing that big

[vague matrix]

3K Lines in your main file? What's the majority of code taking that up?

[somber sky]

how much should i have

[vague matrix]

I can't give you a definite answer because it depends, I would seperate my files up more though if possible

[raven kite]

wtf?

[vague matrix]

Show the code

[raven kite]

documentation: https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/interactions/api.html?highlight=app_commands appcommand#appcommand

(i'm porting the code, from slash_commands to discord.app_command)

(ignore options)

[vague matrix]

Would you have to put it inside of a class

the AppCommand

[raven kite]

Only the name for using slash command

the documentation's so bad

it doesn't want the argument "name"

BUT:

[vague matrix]

I would figure out another way to call to the decorator

[raven kite]

I'm actualy watching: commands.command

[feral timber]

!rule money

[unkempt canyon]

Rules

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

[dry kelp]

In this code, how could i delete the CREATED webhook only because this code will just delete all of the webhooks in the current channel, which makes sense, but how can i extract the right webhook?

[high mesa]

Does anyone know the fix for SSL certificate error in VS Code venv python on macos?

[final iron]

It'll be a bit convoluted but pretty simple. You can get all the webhooks in the channel with GuildChannel.webhooks. You'll then want to sort through those webhooks, find the most recent (You can get the value with Webhook.created_at) and then delete it

Unless somebody has some easier solution to offer

Hint: use the builtin sorted method to sort the created_at values

[drifting arrow]

is on_webhook_update really a thing?

[final iron]

on_webhooks_update, but yes

It might be one of discord.py's artificial events though

[drifting arrow]

Oh, it only returns a channel

I was hoping it'd return a message.

Can't you just do on_message event and listen for things like webhooks?

Coz I'm thinking, just log message ID's

it's a webhook, but still a message.

[final iron]

There's no guarantee the webhook will send a message though, or a message immediately after they are added

[drifting arrow]

I think I need to read more than a singular message lol

Anyway. I've yeeted my yeet into the wild. I'm sure someone can figure it out.

[desert kiln]

!paste

[subtle jungle]

did render get any updates to not be able to host discord bots with uptimerobot anymore?

[final iron]

Maybe?

You're using a workaround to host your bot, so I wouldn't be surprised if they patched it

A proper VPS is as low as $4 a month

[subtle jungle]

I mean given that they have a link to webpage generated by the bot, how would they technically patch it?

[final iron]

who knows

[subtle jungle]

Hmm alr

[flat pier]

how does this check if the webhook is okay or not? or in other words how do you know it's created with malicious intention or not

[drifting arrow]

I think the one im using is like 10/month but i got extra features to make it buff

[final iron]

It doesn't, but

[drifting arrow]

Idk what the user is trying to do.

so i cant really offer my 2 terrible cents worth of thoughts

maybe 1 cent. it's low value right now

[flat pier]

webhooks are integrations (as far as i know considering discord calls it one) and you should be able to use on_integration_create to get an Integration object but i tried it and couldn't get the event to trigger when making a webhook for the server or a channel, so im not sure

[somber sky]

ive been watching this tutorial on how to host my bot using digital ocean, how come it says no such file or directory

[grand bobcat]

https://www.pythondiscord.com/pages/guides/python-guides/fix-ssl-certificate/
I used this to fix my SSL certificate issue, but its on the latest version
Issue: [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED]
I am running a bot from Visual studio, can somone help me

[somber sky]

i have a file called main.py and my botname is bullshark so idk

[flat pier]

show you're entire traceback not a screenshot of one line

[somber sky]

thats literally all it says

python3: can't open file '/root/main.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory

[flat pier]

that is not the same thing you screenshotted

[somber sky]

it is its just shortened

oh wait

[dusk shadow]

hey again yall...

ok, so im FINALLY getting back into coding again, and im trying to do a sort of simple-ish slash command to have a user provide 2 string values, and have the first value to remove certain characters,
value_one.replace(" ", "-").replace("'", "").replace(":", "-")
then i have it to basically replace all spaces as -
and after all that, it make the new value processed_value and is put in places in the final_value spot
final_value = f"{processed_value}.{value_two}"

so for example, if i do
/values [The Mug: My Coffee's Burning] [CAFFEINE]

it would reply with
The-Mug-My-Coffees-Burning.CAFFEINE

im fairly new to slash commands, but i do dabble a LITTLE in the old prefix commands.
if anyone can give pointers this late at night, please lemi know, thanks!

@client.tree.command()
@app_commands.describe(
    value_one='Gime a value',
    value_two='second value',
)
async def values(interaction: discord.Interaction, value_one: str, value_two: str):
    processed_value = title.replace(" ", "-").replace("'", "").replace(":", "-") # Replace any spaces, or other special characters 
    processed_value = re.sub(r'\-+', '-', processed_value)  # Replace multiple "-" with single "-"
    final_value = f"{processed_value}.{value_two}" # Value produced by processing
    await interaction.response.send_message(final_value)

What i have so far :/
if you wanna know why its a little messy, its cause im trying to convert this from prefixes (old commands) to new slash

[vocal snow]

What problem are you having?

[dusk shadow]

well, when using this exact command, i get an error with re.sub
... and since it was a prefix command last, the entire system kinda changes... :/

[vocal snow]

What's the error?

[dusk shadow]

one sec

discord.app_commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command 'values' raised an exception: NameError: name 're' is not defined

@vocal snow

[vocal snow]

you just forgot to import the module

import re

[dusk shadow]

oh, ffs

so my command works just fine

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/982491223409451009.gif?size=64

actually dead af...
so sorry to bother yall

[naive briar]

🫠

[dusk shadow]

brain actually dead.
look, ive been up for 20 hours, so brain at low function

[drifting arrow]

Without using client how do i get a guild by ID?

Currently I'm using guild = self.client.get_guild(int(profiles['server_profile'].server_id)) but I want to change it from this

is there an inbuilt way?

[upbeat otter]

what's the reason for changing it

[drifting arrow]

Trying to clean up my code and fix it up a bit and I want to change the way my cogs are loaded

[upbeat otter]

well there is no other way to get a guild by its ID

[drifting arrow]

so I have to pass my bot/client to the cog

[upbeat otter]

every cog requires that to be passed

whether you want it or not

[drifting arrow]

oh it gets passed regardless? neat

Thought I had to figure that out lol

[upbeat otter]

cool

[dreamy dune]

But interaction/context objects have the client object so I am not sure why that's necessary

[drifting arrow]

All good. Figured out my nonsense

and life goes on :)

[pale zenith]

You do have to. Cogs take no arguments to their constructor, unless you specify otherwise by overwriting __init__.

What does get passed bot is an extension's setup function

[alpine cove]

sqlite always confuses me with json stuff
doing some testing rn but cant seem to get this to work
so I've tried running these two queries but always get a sqlite3.OperationalError: malformed JSON

UPDATE tbl SET data = json_insert(data, ?, ?) WHERE id = ?; 

params = ('$.newkey', '{"test": "test"}', '1')

UPDATE tbl SET data = json_insert(data, ?, ?) WHERE id = ?;

params = ('$.newkey', '"newvalue"', '1')

[golden portal]

best to ask in #databases

[alpine cove]

wrong channel lmao

sry thought I was in databases

[dusk shadow]

another question,
so, lets say i want to have my bot DM me if someone used a command.

        user = await client.fetch_user(929950499787145348)
        await user.send(f"At {datetime.now()} {ctx.author.id} made a value: "+final_value)

i get an error with ctx not defined, i feel like this is cause of the interaction system, instead of command based dections...
any work arounds?

the discord ID, being mine of course :>

[somber sky]

how come in vscode, when i commit the file to my github it doesnt even work?

[shrewd apex]

!d discord.Interaction.user

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Interaction.user

The user or member that sent the interaction.

[shrewd apex]

@dusk shadow ^^

[dusk shadow]

ahhhh, got it, thank uu!

[shrewd apex]

did u push?

[somber sky]

yeah it js didnt do anything

oh im slow mb, idk why its pushing to a whole other repository

💀 mb

[shrewd apex]

change ur remote

[somber sky]

[somber sky]

how do i delete a remote cause it keeps saying rep not found cause its trying to find my old rep that i deleted cause ion need it

[slate swan]

where you import Button from?

[shrewd vapor]

from discord.components import Button, ButtonStyle

[slate swan]

from discord.ui import Button
from discord import ButtonStyle

those are correct ones

[shrewd apex]

git remote remove <remote_name>

[somber sky]

ty

[shrewd vapor]

Ok now i get an error in the await ctx.send

With components

[slate swan]

most likely cause you are nesting a list inside a list again

but does even discord.py allow components kwarg

[shrewd vapor]

Ok so its just components=components ?

[slate swan]

technically yes

[shrewd vapor]

ok let me try

[slate swan]

but if thats discord.py it wont work

[shrewd vapor]

its discord.py yes

And don't work yes

[slate swan]

you need to use a view

!d discord.ui.View

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ui.View

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

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

[shrewd vapor]

i have already try in my cog but i get error

[slate swan]

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

and simple example on how to

[shrewd vapor]

I get this error

AttributeError: 'Interaction' object has no attribute 'author'```
But i don't use interaction, i use ctx: commands.Context

[slate swan]

components use interactions

if you annotate it as context doesnt mean its context

[shrewd vapor]

bruh i'm lost 😦

[slate swan]

whats a big change about getting interaction in button callback intead of contexT?

[shrewd vapor]

i use that in a cog, and i'm lost with interaction in a cog

[slate swan]

how is that

[shrewd vapor]

this is my entire code

[slate swan]

just explain what you dont understand

[shrewd vapor]

How use interaction in a cog, because in everything i have look for understand cog i have never see anyone use interaction

[slate swan]

what do you mean use interaction in a cog?

werent we at the topic of components

[shrewd vapor]

Its the first time i try to use components, i know how to use Interaction in the main file, but in a cog idk if its the same or not

[slate swan]

just create a View subclass and handle the components in there like in an example i sent

[shrewd vapor]

ok my old code work with everything of ctx replaced with interaction

I just need to found how to make persistent bouton

Its the last things i need to found for my ticket system work

[slate swan]

its in the examples folder too

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

[shrewd vapor]

oh ok thanks

Now last things i need to understand

[shrewd vapor]

I'm lost

I don't understand the class DynamicButton

[shrewd apex]

https://fallendeity.github.io/discord.py-masterclass/views/#persistent-buttons read this part

[high mesa]

Can someone please explain regarding the custom_id of buttons, like there are 3 buttons, so how do I get the id of the 3 buttons seperately

[shrewd apex]

just acess the custom_id property of each button individually?

[high mesa]

Can u provide an example?

[sick birch]

you set the custom ID yourself

so you should know what it is

[shrewd vapor]

How i made a Dynamic id he get my custom id look like "claim_ticket_button" all custom id from ticket finish by _ticket_button the only thing that changes its the first word

Because everything i read he get only an id

like 123456789

[somber sky]

when i commit, it updates in the repo but when i run the bot the changes dont apply

[high mesa]

Is the response for a button click ctx or interaction?

[lyric solar]

with open('data.json', encoding='utf-8') as f:
    data = json.load(f)

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

    print("Bot is ready")
    try:
        synced = await bot.tree.sync()
        print(f"Synced {len(synced)} command(s)")
    except Exception as e:

        super().__init__(placeholder="Learn more...", options=options)
        self.data = data

    async def callback(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):
        option_index = int(self.values[0].split('#')[-1]) - 1
        selected_data = self.data[option_index]

        embed = discord.Embed(
            title=f"{selected_data['title']}",
            description=f"{selected_data['title_expanded']}\n\n{selected_data['content']}",
            color=0xFFFFFF
        )
        await interaction.response.send_message(embed=embed, ephemeral=True)```
there is an issue in this code for some reason, it doesn't print it out but i get this interaction has failed after like 3-5 refreshes
i need to paste the code tho

[glad cradle]

shitty

[vestal gyro]

Is pycord or discord.py used more?

[final iron]

discord.py by a ton

[sick birch]

interaction

and the button object itself

[lyric solar]

#1202323848415170620

some help would be nice

[high mesa]

ohh, i was using ctx, thnx

[shrewd vapor]

I'm always lost with persistent view 😭

i don't understand how to do for my ticket system

[glad cradle]

what... you just need to use views as you do normally and call a method on Bot's setup hook

ignore the Dynamic thing

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.add_view

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.add\_view

add_view(view, *, message_id=None)```
Registers a [`View`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.ui.View) for persistent listening.

This method should be used for when a view is comprised of components that last longer than the lifecycle of the program.

New in version 2.0.

[shrewd vapor]

I need to add that in my setup hook ?

[glad cradle]

yeah

ignore the other class of the example

that example shows 2 different things in 1 example, it doesn't make sense

[glad cradle]

they both achieve the same thing

[shrewd vapor]

If i put that this work ?
bot.add_view(TicketCog(bot))

[glad cradle]

in your case using the former is ok

[glad cradle]

no

view must be a view not a cog

[shrewd vapor]

Every of my view is in a cog

I need to import every view ?

[glad cradle]

wait first i have a question

are the views for a single message that is created once or are they used in response messages for commands?

[shrewd vapor]

I have a view used on the Ticket Panel where you have the button Create Ticket

In the ticket you have 2 views Close Ticket and Claim Ticket

The Close Ticket after used change for Delete Ticket

[glad cradle]

then nevermind you need the Dynamic thing approach, ignore everything in that example about the Persistent view

[glad cradle]

so the first class

[dry kelp]

anyone knows how to fix this ?

[slate swan]

not really related 🤫

[glad cradle]

🤫🧏🏼

[lyric solar]

how do i prevent this from happening

😭

[final iron]

It's normal

[lyric solar]

i don't want it happening cuz of this

😭 ?

[final iron]

how often do the disconnects happen

[lyric solar]

uhhh

every 15 minutes??

i didnt know that i disconnected

[final iron]

how are you hosting it

[lyric solar]

aws

tried google cloud

same thing

[final iron]

is it consistently every 15 minutes

[lyric solar]

no it varies

is disabling sharding a solution

[final iron]

Do you need sharding in the first place?

[lyric solar]

no its auto enabled no?

[final iron]

no it isnt

[lyric solar]

i didnt enable it 😭

how do i disable it

[final iron]

its not enabled by default

[lyric solar]

i didnt enable it
just saying

[final iron]

if you didnt enable it, it won't be enabled.

[lyric solar]

hence Shard ID None has connected to Gateway?

[final iron]

Shard ID None

[lyric solar]

why does it disconnect then 😭

[final iron]

who knows

set logging to debug and send the associated logs when it occurs

[lyric solar]

i dont use logging

[final iron]

then start

[lyric solar]

how

is it because i make the discord bot act like a webhook

[final iron]

its legitimately impossible to say without any code/logs

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/logging.html#setting-up-logging

@final iron no sharding error apparenlty

it just doesn't wanna load after some time idk why tho

[final iron]

why would there be a sharding error

Have you setup logging yet?

[lyric solar]

yea

[lyric solar]

idk for disconnecting but there is none

[final iron]

We went over this. It has nothing to do with sharding.

[lyric solar]

okay so what could be the issue

[final iron]

Already went through this. It’s impossible to say without logs

Show your updated code

You didn’t set up the logging level properly

[lyric solar]

i probably didnt

handler = logging.FileHandler(filename='discord.log', encoding='utf-8', mode='w')

if __name__ == "__main__": 

    bot.run("token", log_handler=handler)```

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/XHYA

[final iron]

Go over the link I sent please

[lyric solar]

okay

log_level=logging.DEBUG?

[final iron]

Go over the link.

[lyric solar]

which one do u want

debug or info

nvm that was a stupid question

[lyric solar]

okay wait

i just have to wait for it to log now

[lyric solar]

@final iron caught some logs

it seems like the bot would "time out" if no one used the interaction

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/EGNQ

and in the console, when requested to open data.json it should print "loaded", however it didnt

"This interaction didn't respond"

[pale zenith]

these logs show nothing out of the ordinary

[lyric solar]

look at this

[lyric solar]

i can send the code if u need it

[pale zenith]

yes that would be most helpful

[lyric solar]

okay one sec

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/ELAQ @pale zenith

[pale zenith]

I see. That's quite a lot of code, and what I assume is happening here is that a logging entry from asyncio is being eaten, because you only have the discord logger enabled, and no errors of what you do would get propagated to them.

Could you please enable the root logger, and send the resulting logs? (do not enable debug logs since that's just gonna fill your console up with bullshit.)

handler = logging.handlers.RotatingFileHandler(
    filename='discord.log',
    encoding='utf-8',
    maxBytes=32 * 1024 * 1024,  # 32 MiB
    backupCount=5,  # Rotate through 5 files
)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    bot.run("token", log_handler=handler, root_logger=True)

[lyric solar]

👍

[patent lark]

This is my issue, can anyone help

[lyric solar]

so, do i remove this?

dt_fmt = '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'
formatter = logging.Formatter('[{asctime}] [{levelname:<8}] {name}: {message}', dt_fmt, style='{')
handler.setFormatter(formatter)
logger.addHandler(handler)```

im assuming yes

[pale zenith]

the addHandler can be omitted

but the formatter part, sure, keep it, unless you want to keep discord.py's default formatter. (wont affect anything useful either way)

[lyric solar]

this get's removed too right

[pale zenith]

yeah, that only brings up useless stuff

[lyric solar]

okay gimme a sec

[lyric solar]

this seems pretty useless

i don't know if the error occurs rn tho so gimme a sec

[pale zenith]

😔

with no error, it's hard to debug unfortunately

[lyric solar]

yea as i said it needs to time out after some time

idk how it happens or when

[pale zenith]

you mean the fact that a button(view*) stops functioning after the default timeout of 180 seconds?

[lyric solar]

maybee...??

180s is 3 minutes right?

[pale zenith]

yeah

[lyric solar]

wait 1 more minute

[pale zenith]

I mean... https://paste.pythondiscord.com/ELAQ#1L119-L119 super().__init__(timeout=None)

it will stop working after a restart, though

[lyric solar]

..... 😭

was it really that simple.

[pale zenith]

this whole code is a big mess though, I would suggest organizing things out. massive while true with... a lot of... stuff 🥴

[lyric solar]

yeah umm

[lyric solar]

rule #1 of coding

if it works dont touch it

[pale zenith]

rule #2 of coding: ignore rule #1

TLDR of every programming standard out there

[lyric solar]

rule #3 of coding: (maybe) ignore rule #2

[pale zenith]

rule #4: error- infinite cycle

[lyric solar]

hm

[pale zenith]

wrong init

[lyric solar]

wait i MIGHT be silly

yep indeed i WAS silly

[pale zenith]

see this carefully-er

or nvm lmao yeah

[lyric solar]

thanks 🙏

[pale zenith]

you should add this to your code:

[pale zenith]

no problem 😄

[lyric solar]

LMAOOO

@pale zenith thanks for telling me how to change the timeout

i knew it timed out 😭

[flat pier]

i will start adding this to my coding projects (even if it's perfectly readable, documented and fairly organized but shhh)

[pale zenith]

@pale zenith same 😂

[void pumice]

Which problem do you facing in slash cmd ?

[regal dragon]

iv fixed it by now, forgot to sync

[stray drum]

well mates i have i question , i am tryna make a bot for code quiz like a competitive and score sharable bot but cant understand how can i get question for quizz the way i want (in subtopics and different difficulty level ) what is the best way you think ?

[vestal acorn]

store it in a json?
and then, send the question you want to the user

[stray drum]

works but as a user start using it questions end up getting same and if i use api there is also the problem of repeat questions

[vestal acorn]

what do you want to do exactly?
Send an infinite amount of questions?

[stray drum]

i mean not infinte but atleast not like just same 10-20 question repeating

[vestal acorn]

yeah I see

[stray drum]

and as a user you dont want like repeating question in a quiz beats the whole purpose of quiz

[vestal acorn]

of course

[vestal acorn]

what did you think about when you said api?

like generating questions?

[stray drum]

well im tryna find a api which works like my criteria but ig feels like im dream real high so have to go down on it , like there is quiz api there is barely for programming quiz + just for normal topics like html python like very lil catagorys

[vestal acorn]

I think in this case, the best you could do is to create yourself a lot of questions

because, if you use an ai to generate it, the questions won't have any sense
If you could find an api, it could work but I don't have any in mind rn

[stray drum]

well ig if it have to work i just have to make a self api

preety hard

[vestal acorn]

if you want to use it with a discord bot, I don't think you must create an api

you can have your questions locally

[stray drum]

like how ?

[vestal acorn]

a local json file, or in a database

[stray drum]

understand

lets se how i do , well is it better to have mulity choise question or a single word text answer

[vestal acorn]

as you prefer, I thought first about a multiple choice question, but both are pretty easy to do

[stray drum]

well yes mutl question easy to make as buttons and event but will take more space / single word answers will take less space but gives user a chance to make chaotic text and might create confict in comparing answer

[vestal acorn]

yes

the easiest is multiple choices

you could do strings comparisons if you expect for string answers

[stray drum]

well what is the best way of storing question in way that amount of space they take wont matter

[vestal acorn]

You store only ascii characters, so even if you have a huge amount of questions, your file won't exceed some MB

which is quite reasonable I think

or, if you do it with a database, it will be a little bigger but you won't have to load it in ram

[stray drum]

hmmm @vestal acorn what if i give them id number and as they are being answered by the user store the id number and try not to repeat them this way

[vestal acorn]

I would work I think

[quick gust]

fetch the list of questions from ur json file and store it locally in a variable. Use random to pick a random question from the list. After each question, remove the previously sent question from the list.

[stray drum]

understand

[vestal acorn]

but each time the user restarts the quizz, every question could be sent again

[drifting arrow]

How many buttons can a response have?

12?

[slate swan]

you can have 5 buttons in 1 row and a total of 5 rows

so 25

[drifting arrow]

oh lord

that's a lot of buttons

[quick gust]

I mean yeah if they do the same quiz multiple times, thats possible with any quiz. Youll just need to make sure you have enough amount of questions that the chance of a question repeating is very low

[vestal acorn]

yes

[candid flume]

for whatever reason, my bot's commands are not working, they are showing up in the server's integrations tab but not showing up when trying to use them, is there something I did wrong?

[pale zenith]

sounds like a permissions thing, do you have default permissions set

[swift siren]

how can you make your bot check if a users message contains a sticker

[slate swan]

!d discord.Message.stickers

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message.stickers

A list of sticker items given to the message.

New in version 1.6.

[swift siren]

thank u

[drifting arrow]

Does interaction.followup not have a send_modal? D:

[shrewd apex]

it can only be in response

[drifting arrow]

I figured as much

So I have to do something else :(

:D it's okay. I think this solution is better anyway

More intuitive for the end user!

@shrewd apex :D

[shrewd apex]

👍

[shrewd apex]

feel like that would be too many fields for mobile embed view

each would occupy a line

[drifting arrow]

Do you have a proposed alternative?

Something I could do to improve?

Because I need to be able to send multiple modals and I dont want individual commands.
It needs to be simple and straight forward.

@shrewd apex

Mobile

[shrewd apex]

maybe some checkbox emoji in one field? some text formatting? like u could have a toggle group asking warn/ban/timeout user

[drifting arrow]

What do you mean by toggle group?

[shrewd apex]

just a gui concept thing it's not anything discord specific

[drifting arrow]

Oh

I mean, I could improve the button text to explain more

Like "Don't Ban User" and "Ban User"

Or "Toggle Ban User"?

your database is fucked

[somber sky]

idk how it was, i fixed it that shit took so lonng

i had to deleted the databases and re add them and push it to github

but like i already did it so idk why it didnt work the first time but it worked now

[rugged shadow]

don't commit your database 🤦‍♂️

especially if this is open source

[shrewd apex]

why would you create a different database just for another table

[rugged shadow]

lolll actually

[glad cradle]

why not lmao

1 db per table

[young dagger]

What is the best package for detecting non-English messages for my Discord bot?

[finite salmon]

You can just iterate through each letter and see if they are present in the English alphabet

While also excluding symbols and numbers

[golden portal]

well, it's not just english that uses the latin alphabet

[young dagger]

^

I think I need a package

[golden portal]

idk maybe use googletrans or something

[finite salmon]

You could use str.isascii() to do pretty much what I told before

[slate swan]

!pypi langdetect

[unkempt canyon]

langdetect v1.0.9

Language detection library ported from Google's language-detection.

[young dagger]

Not accurate for short messages

[slate swan]

obviously messages like that will be missunderstood

[young dagger]

Not by using https://github.com/detectlanguage/detectlanguage-python but this one requires an API key and the free version is max 1000 request/per day

(same message '+1 Draft')

[slate swan]

how is that polish

[young dagger]

Niewiem

[slate swan]

ja tez nie

[young dagger]

Is this really using Google's language-detection? Because Google shows me this

[slate swan]

[young dagger]

At least the reliable is True for english

[onyx horizon]

cool

[glossy mauve]

how do i reload my bot with jishaku

[golden portal]

jsk reload folder.filename

or you mean restart your bot?

[somber sky]

howw ould i make a command where i transfer data from a command to a googlr spreadsheet?

[drifting arrow]

When it comes to sharding a discord bot , is it possible to assign certain commands and cogs to a specific shard?
And can I reload specific shards or do I need to reload the entire not still?

[rotund wagon]

I'm hosting my bot with heroku and it's being difficult, the github is connected, but the deploy says it can't identify what default language it's using(what type of code)

[slate swan]

You can set it in the settings

and you should have a Procfile I suppose, which you're eventually missing

[rotund wagon]

How would one do that

I found the deploy keys section, I just don't know what to put there

[shrewd apex]

u need to add a procfile iirc and the python package

[rotund wagon]

No idea what any of that means lol, do you mind explaining ?

[rotund wagon]

How do you add a procfile

[rugged shadow]

iirc means "if i remember correctly" fwiw

[rotund wagon]

._. Oh dang I'm not smart when it comes to abbreviations

Lmao

Now it's saying buildpack not compatible with app

[drifting arrow]

Is there any specific way to assign specific commands/cogs to a given server on loadup?
Either using sharding or something else?

I know I can just have a decorator that checks if the guild has permissions based on my database, but it'd be nice if they couldn't even see the command to begin with.

[golden portal]

!d discord.app_commands.guilds

[unkempt canyon]

discord.app\_commands.guilds

@discord.app_commands.guilds(*guild_ids)```
Associates the given guilds with the command.

When the command instance is added to a [`CommandTree`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.CommandTree), the guilds that are specified by this decorator become the default guilds that it’s added to rather than being a global command.

Note

Due to an implementation quirk and Python limitation, if this is used in conjunction with the [`CommandTree.command()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.CommandTree.command) or [`CommandTree.context_menu()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.CommandTree.context_menu) decorator then this must go below that decorator.

Example...

[golden portal]

there is also discord.app_commands.default_permissions so it doesnt appear for users without the perm

[drifting arrow]

@golden portal - Can I update that dynamically? Like lets say originally a guild isnt in the list of IDs, could I update it using a command?

[golden portal]

the built in way, no, since its a guild specific commands, you can however just sync an empty tree onto that guild that you removed it from

Already doing this and it doesnt seem to work properly

although I'm definitely doing something wrong lol

[golden portal]

why arent you syncing globally tho

[drifting arrow]

Coz I want to be able to sync specific cogs/commands to specific guilds.

For example "PrivateCommands" in that code i shared are just for me. So why should others see them?

[golden portal]

you can just set the cog to be for a specific guild in the extension like so, ```py
guild = discord.Object(1203230080512294922)
await bot.add_cog(cog, guild=guild)

then just `bot.tree.sync(guild=guild)` at the end

why aren't you using extension?

[rotund wagon]

i need help with heroku hosting, says the app isnt compatible with buildpack even thought thier both python

[drifting arrow]

What do you mean? I thought I was lol

[golden portal]

you're just using a cog there, people usually coupled with extensions
(the part where it's a specific file with function for setup and teardown)

[drifting arrow]

async def on_ready(self):
        for name, cog_class in self._cogs_to_load.items():
               cog_instance = cog_class(bot=self, config=config)
               await self.add_cog(cog_instance)
        await self.tree.sync()
        print("Bot fully loaded and ready to go!")
``` All my cogs are in individual files. I'm just loading them here.
Instead of needing the "setup" at the end where it adds the cog it does it here

[golden portal]

i know, im just asking why

[drifting arrow]

Easier to remove a cog if I need to

Just # out the cog and reload the bot

[golden portal]

u could achieve the same with just a list of extensions, but oh well im not gonna go nerdy

[drifting arrow]

This way I can add new features without needing to remove the files

I can also parse things like the config file down to each cog

Instead of each cog needing to load the config

Why open the file many times when 1 is enough?

[golden portal]

having to reinvent the wheel isnt really my thing so you do you

[drifting arrow]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

It works don't it?

[drifting arrow]

Is there a proper way to make a command sleep/wait?

[golden portal]

need more elaboration on that, do you just want an asyncio.sleep?

A shortcut method to [`send()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Context.send) to reply to the [`Message`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Message) referenced by this context.

For interaction based contexts, this is the same as [`send()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Context.send).

New in version 1.6.

Changed in version 2.0: This function will now raise [`TypeError`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/exceptions.html#TypeError) or [`ValueError`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/exceptions.html#ValueError) instead of `InvalidArgument`.

Ask the issue(s) you're facing and we can help you fix them

[slate swan]

i need help making a bot

See pinned messages and the channel description, as well as https://discordpy.rtfd.io

[wicked pollen]

I need help with the sb discord ai project if anyone would be willing to help me let me know in a private message

[inner barn]

How can I make a bot that automatically assigns a role when someone comes to the server?

[slate swan]

!d discord.on_member_join

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_member\_join

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

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

[slate swan]

!d discord.Member.add_roles

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.add\_roles

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

Gives the member a number of [`Role`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Role)s.

You must have [`manage_roles`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Permissions.manage_roles) to use this, and the added [`Role`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Role)s must appear lower in the list of roles than the highest role of the member.

[slate swan]

Listen to the event on_member_join and use the add_roles method on the member to add the role you wish

[slate swan]

Missing a "

[gilded sable]

Oh lol, let me check

[gilded sable]

Hmm i have it, maybe when i copy it i miss click it and delete it 🤔

But still not working 😭

[proud finch]

Heya I'm tryna make my bot do some stuff and frankly

I'm lost for ways to try make it work :0

[fast musk]

try hitting it

[merry cliff]

what stuff?

[proud finch]

basicly im trying to get it to react to a message as in

you type ?hi and it picks up on that and replys with hi... hru

u then answer and depending on ur answer get a differant responce

if u say good or smthg u get like great have a good day

and if u reply with not so good you get a completely differant answer and dialog

also i want the code to basicly have a shut off time of 1 min so if you dont answer in that time the interaction stops

and i want it to react to the person who origonally did the ?hi

[merry cliff]

so like a chatbot

[proud finch]

yea basicly

[slate swan]

chatbot

[proud finch]

itll have other functions but mainly yea, as its my first time building a bot so its a way for me to learn how to implament it practicly

[merry cliff]

might be a bit complicated for a first bot lol

[proud finch]

i like to challange myself

[slate swan]

You have python experience, right?

[proud finch]

long ago and remember little to nothing

[slate swan]

Well, as of now I've been learning python for a month and yet to fully understand it. So I recommend you learn more before you jump into bots.

And I know getting chatbots will even further complicate this.

Or just chat-gpt the whole thing

[tiny coyote]

id like to know how to create a countdown timestamp (doesn't have to be timestamp) on discord.py using datetime/timedelta

[golden portal]

so you dont want to use discord.utils.format_dt? just a normal countdown? you can do that by getting the difference between current datetime and the end datetime and use timedelta.total_seconds() then calculate it yourself to get hours, minutes and seconds

[tiny coyote]

sounds like alot of unnecessary work ngl ima use the first option

thanks btw

[golden portal]

sure, use the R style for format_dt

[sick birch]

much easier, and it's also live, check this out:

<t:1707019080:R>

[tiny coyote]

and how do I flip idk how to put this in a sentence rn, my brain isnt braining

[tiny coyote]

but how do i if it lol

[golden portal]

huh?

[tiny coyote]

or should i say calculate the time so
for example if it says in minutes 0 or 1 minute ago it triggers an event

[sick birch]

you would simply wait until then with asyncio.sleep

[tiny coyote]

the explanation hasnt clicked yet srry

[tiny coyote]

;-; really man

[sick birch]

something wrong?

[feral timber]

Yes, there's birds in my chat

[golden portal]

its pretty simple ```py
dt = discord.utils.utcnow() + datetime.timedelta(minutes=2)

await ctx.send(f"Send message in {discord.utils.format_dt(dt, style='R')}")
await discord.utils.sleep_until(dt)
await ctx.send('Countdown ended')

[tiny coyote]

No Its just more comfortable using a if statement wasnt expecting that but yh thanks

[sick birch]

not everything yields to an if statement. that's why we have other language constructs

but also running a while true and checking the current time wastes clock cycles

[tiny coyote]

no i mean relating to this, time weilding it just feels more comfortable

i apologize

[sick birch]

not sure what you mean by "time weilding"

[tiny coyote]

ah dont worry about it, my head is on flames looking all over for timestamp manipulation

[slate swan]

where should I learn to start coding discord bots?

I have a decent understanding of python now

[river plank]

wait nvm

[tiny coyote]

thats why i said it doesnt have to be timestamp so i can manipulate it more efficiently

[slate swan]

I can't use decorators though or lambda.

[golden portal]

sorry but checking time every second or so is less efficient than just a simple asyncio.sleep

[sick birch]

Should be some resources in the pins

[slate swan]

ok

[vapid parcel]

Assuming Discord Bots will be able to get Join Method soon?

[sick birch]

What's the point? All Discord bots have the same join method

[tiny coyote]

makes sence.
welp atleast now ik.

[vapid parcel]

No, i meant like where they can get the data of how a person joined?

Aka invite, and whos invite n stuff like that

[sick birch]

Ah, not sure about that then

[vapid parcel]

Because currently they still do not have access to that unless im living under a rock..?

[sick birch]

they do not

as far as i'm aware, that is

[vapid parcel]

Yeah, im hoping just hoping, they add it.. because it would be kinda nice. But if they don't then thats fine, been like that for 3 years now, we started asking 3 years ago, they still haven't done it 😭

[sick birch]

it is how it is

[drifting arrow]

Is there a clear way to see what guilds my bots in? outside of just listing them using my bot?

like is it on the discord website somewhere?

[sick birch]

no

[drifting arrow]

Dang

It would be nice if it was listed somewhere lol

Oh well

[final iron]

Discord dispatches that information when you connect to the gateway

[shrewd apex]

run a side web server on ur bot and query it as u would query an api 👀

[drifting arrow]

If I want to use the timeout function to time someone out, do I need to submit a proper datetime or can I use something like "1d"?

[golden portal]

the Member.timeout method? have to be a datetime object or a timedelta

[tough mantle]

someone know yt channel that have good playlist for beginners?

[glad cradle]

i don't think they'll ever add it, if you want something to track invites you can already by listening to the member join event and check if one of the invites present in the guild had the use count go up by 1

you'll be able to tell who invited a user and how many users a member invited

[slate swan]

Why is it a Link in the insert and not the images?

Because it's an embed

[naive briar]

!d discord.Embed.set_image - you need to use this method to set the image of the embed, not just putting an image URL into the description

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Embed.set\_image

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

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

[leaden olive]

guys can someone help me, the part of the code isnt being executed i mean the command works but it should send a message that says that i successfully withdrew the coins, but it doesnt

First I'd remove that horrible try/except

Then you'll see errors in the console and it will help you debug your code

not much CPU power, just a lot of incoming events and requests to your database

Discord should just allow us to do it, instead of doing all of that 😭

How do I prevent this code from advertising my own ad in my advertising channel?

Hello, I've created this public bot that can do partnerships and advertising and for some reason people are having issues with this feature of my bot saying that it keeps on advertising their own ad in their own advertising channel so I figured to come here and get some support.

            guild_ids = [guild[1] for guild in channels]  # Extract guild ids from the tuples
            placeholders = ', '.join('?' for _ in channel_ids)  # Create placeholders for the query
            await cursor.execute(f"SELECT guild FROM advertise WHERE channel IN ({placeholders})", channel_ids)
            guild_id_tuples = await cursor.fetchall()

        # Extract guild ids from the tuples and convert to a tuple
        guild_ids = tuple(guild_id[0] for guild_id in guild_id_tuples)

            guild, ad, link = ads[i % len(ads)]
            ad = ad.replace("@everyone", "").replace("@here", "")

            # Skip if the guild is the same as the current guild


            channel = await self.bot.fetch_channel(channel_id)

[torn solar]

i dont know what this means cus i dont have a file named <stdin>

those are my files

[slate zephyr]

looks like an issue in vs code, it seems youre in the python repl mode

type in

exit()

[torn solar]

in my terminal?

[slate zephyr]

yeah where it said that error

[slate zephyr]

try doing

raise SystemExit

[torn solar]

line 2 and 3 are what i got when i tried to run the file

[slate zephyr]

that should get you out of there, try pressing crlt c?

[torn solar]

ive made a ton of bots before not sure where i went wrong

[slate zephyr]

are yoy on windows?

[torn solar]

yeah

[slate zephyr]

this is just an issue with vs code, maybe just restart vs code

[torn solar]

sorry for sending ss of the code lol

[slate zephyr]

ah idk about that, well at least you got your vs code fixed now

[torn solar]

ok thanks

found the issue lol, bot is supposed to be Bot

[dapper cobalt]

I believe it's commands.Bot?

[dapper cobalt]

yep

[torn solar]

yeah i fixed it lol

i had to compare to some old code

[lyric solar]

does anyone know why this only dumps the first part of a text?:

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/QAVQ

[viscid hornet]

hello

pressing a button registers that you pressed a button but it doesnt record you pressed the button

so the board still thinks it's empty when you make a move

and when the board fills and you cant play any more, it just times out

[drifting arrow]

uhh

[drifting arrow]

this doesnt make any sense lol

[viscid hornet]

ok so how it works is on a 3x3 grid

[
    [1, 2, 3],
    [4, 5, 6],
    [7, 8, 9]
]

set out like this

[drifting arrow]

I got that.

So is your issue that it's detecting you're pressing ANY button? and not the ones related to TTT?

[viscid hornet]

when i press a button, it responds appropriately by changing the label from an invisible character to the player that clicked it

but it doesnt make note of that on the board

it just says "interaction already responded or smth"

[drifting arrow]

oh

Just edit the message.

hold up

await interaction.response.edit_message(embed=embed, view=self) is what I do.

[viscid hornet]

# terminal
[0, 0, 0]
[0, 0, 0]
[0, 0, 0]

Exception: This interaction has already been responded to before```

[drifting arrow]

!paste

[drifting arrow]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/VZ4A this is what I'm working on at the moment

[viscid hornet]

i alr put a link but i'll put it again: https://paste.pythondiscord.com/BFXQ

[drifting arrow]

So the "message_edit" basically resets the interaction

im currently working on trying to send modals XD

[viscid hornet]

so the print_board() thing shows the board and the exception

[viscid hornet]

[drifting arrow]

My code is different to yours but has the same concept

[viscid hornet]

what the fuck

[drifting arrow]

allow the user to click many buttons on the same interaction

[drifting arrow]

:D

Want to see some screenshots of it in action?

[viscid hornet]

yeah i know how to do that, i just dont get how pressing a button doesnt put anything on the board 😭

[viscid hornet]

yes

[viscid hornet]

another test

[drifting arrow]

Alright i'll debug it now.
Also, it's all 1 script for sharing purposes right?

@viscid hornet i'm going to make some changes to improve it as well, do you mind?

[viscid hornet]

its alr i found out i responded twice then i didnt assign anything to the square

so thats those 2 problems solved. i just need to fix the logic for tictactoe

[drifting arrow]

Something like that's happening as well

[viscid hornet]

like checking when theres a win

[drifting arrow]

I'm going to make some modifications to the code, improve it, make it easier for users to use etc.

f"Probably a good idea to find new friends.", lol i love all these things

[viscid hornet]

"go touch some grass 🏞️" 😭

[drifting arrow]

not you, dingus

this is weird. why are you doing this

If you remove the self.players from your code, you can do stuff like this. Idk if it's better, but it'd make for cooler variable names.

[unkempt canyon]

Resources

The Resources page on our website contains a list of hand-selected learning resources that we regularly recommend to both beginners and experts.

[viscid hornet]

challenger and victim is insane 💀

[drifting arrow]

XD

[viscid hornet]

i dont even use player and opponent

[viscid hornet]

how do i go about a system to do this? ```py
1 2 3
4 5 6
7 8 9

[(0, 0), (0, 1), (0, 2)]
[(1, 0), (1, 1), (1, 2)]
[(2, 0), (2, 1), (2, 2)]```

i want (0, 0) to be 1, (0, 1) to be 2, etc

[drifting arrow]

Why?

Also it looks like a list of tuples.

So just print out the list number and add 1

[viscid hornet]

placing the pieces in the board

each tuple just represents a pair of list indices ```
(x, y) where board[y][x] is valid

so you can have board[1][0] which corresponds to the 1st item in the 2nd list

but you cant have board[34][-29] because thats not a valid index

[leaden olive]

Can someone help me?

[slate swan]

interaction.bot is a boolean

!d discord.User.bot

[unkempt canyon]

discord.User.bot

Specifies if the user is a bot account.

[slate swan]

Which doesn't have a pool attribute

[naive briar]

!d discord.Interaction.client - maybe you're looking for this attribute instead?

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Interaction.client

property client```
The client that is handling this interaction.

Note that [`AutoShardedClient`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.AutoShardedClient), [`Bot`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot), and [`AutoShardedBot`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.AutoShardedBot) are all subclasses of client.

[leaden olive]

ohh may i use interaction.client?

[leaden olive]

ahh yea, sure let me try

[bright dirge]

Any examples of quiz bots that I can use for deciding how to handle multiple rounds of a quiz? I'm at the point where my bot can generate one quiz question or fetch data for multiple questions, but not sure what the best way to handle responses and listening for messages across multiple questions would be

[leaden olive]

i changed that, now it says something with bot has no attribute "client"

[sick birch]

You're blocking somewhere

[formal basin]

is there anyway to see where

and how to stop blocking

[sick birch]

if you paste all of your code we could take a look

[formal basin]

all my code?

like all

i have 7 files

but

i think i know which file it is

[sick birch]

!paste allows for uploading multiple files

[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.

[sick birch]

Or a GitHub repository if you've got one

[formal basin]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/D6QA

[sick birch]

only thing blocking here is redis

and maybe better_profanity but i'd have to read src code for that

[formal basin]

im using async redis though

oh is it this,

      host='redis-11943.c56.east-us.azure.cloud.redislabs.com',
      port=11943,
      password='

[supple kraken]

I am trying to implement discord bot using Chat GPT interface

Here's the Code

# App id 1203563046262538250
# public key ec4c2301877d7edca03a8e6a
import discord
import os
import openai

# client = OpenAI()
openai.api_key = os.getenv("GPT_KEY")
token = os.getenv("SECRET_KEY")

# rest of the code remains the same


class MyClient(discord.Client):

  async def on_ready(self):
    print(f'Logged on as {self.user}!')

  async def on_message(self, message):
    print(f'Message from {message.author}: {message.content}')
    if self.user != message.author:
      bot_mentioned = any(user.id == self.user.id for user in message.mentions)
      if bot_mentioned:
        response = openai.completions.create(.      #<--------Possible ERROR 
          model="gpt-3.5-turbo-instruct-0914",
          prompt=message.content,
          temperature=1,
          max_tokens=256,
          top_p=1,
          frequency_penalty=0,
          presence_penalty=0
        )
        channel = message.channel
        messageToSend = response.choices[0].text
        await channel.send('Hello I am Chitti Boom!')


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

client = MyClient(intents=intents)
client.run(token)

I was somehow able to locate the problem to some extent to response = openai.completions.create line but not sure about this

My discord bot is not responding to my messages

[wintry crown]

I need help with cogs

I added everything I need (I think)

But when I run my main file nothing else works

none of my cogs work

[shrewd apex]

• did u load the cogs?
• verify the cog paths when loading?
• make sure your cog loading is async following changes in dpy 2.0
• if its slash command, did u sync?

[slate swan]

response = openai.completions.create(. you have some random dot . at the end of this line

[pale zenith]

inb4 this was generated code

[vapid parcel]

is

broken?

Like move_members

I have all perms in my test server, but I run the command that wants that perm, it says I don't have that perm. Make me wonder if its bugged or im doing something wrong?

Same with mute_members and deafen_members

The 3 permissions are just not correct? Like I have all permissions, but still says I don't have them, which is weird

[shrewd apex]

u sure bot has the perm? can u show the exact exception paste the traceback here

[vapid parcel]

sure hold on

The bot has the same perms I have.

Clearly have the permission too

[shrewd apex]

!d discord.ext.commands.has_permissions

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.has\_permissions

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

Note that this check operates on the current channel permissions, not the guild wide permissions.

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

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

[shrewd apex]

current channel perms

try setting the permissions in channel settings

[vapid parcel]

same issue

i gave it all permissions to the channel with my role.

Im pretty sure its broken.. what goes off guild permissions? instead of channel permissions?

[shrewd apex]

!d discord.ext.commands.has_guild_permissions try this check

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.has\_guild\_permissions

@discord.ext.commands.has_guild_permissions(**perms)```
Similar to [`has_permissions()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.has_permissions), but operates on guild wide permissions instead of the current channel permissions.

If this check is called in a DM context, it will raise an exception, [`NoPrivateMessage`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.NoPrivateMessage).

New in version 1.3.

[vapid parcel]

with guild it works...

is it better to do guild tho? over channel?

[shrewd apex]

depends if it's a multi server bot i would say yeah it's easier to manage single server perhaps channel is more atomic

[vapid parcel]

Multi server bot

[shrewd apex]

again then its probably a channel perms issue

[vapid parcel]

It has to be a bug, i gave that channel n category all permissions, all roles including everyone. I think commands.has_permissions is bugged with those 3...

[shrewd apex]

dont forget to save after adding role and user with relevant perms

[vapid parcel]

Yes ik lol

[shrewd apex]

doubtful such a bug would've been caught long ago

[vapid parcel]

ill send a video 😭

[drifting arrow]

How often can we call change_presence?

[vapid parcel]

@shrewd apex (sorry for ping)

Category, channel, role all has the perm.

Unless you see an issue in it that I truly do not see.. then I think its a bug.

All 3 of these give the same error using commands.has_permissions, but when i use commands.has_guild_permissions it works. I think has_permissions is truly bugged with these 3..

[shrewd apex]

is that a hybrid command?

[vapid parcel]

yes

[shrewd apex]

add ur developer role to the channel. did u add that?

[vapid parcel]

i did in another channel

ill do it in this channel tho

same error

[shrewd apex]

also if ur using guild_only decorator u might as well leave it with have_guild_perms u can raise this issue in the dpy server

[vapid parcel]

do they have a mod mail?

[drifting arrow]

It appears my message got hidden away in all the mass messages ;-; #discord-bots message
Anybody know? ;-;

[shrewd apex]

just create a help post

[shrewd apex]

give a gap of 2-5 min ig?

[drifting arrow]

U sure? I was thinking it'd be a few times a minute

[shrewd apex]

there isn't a limit perse

discord ratelimits are dynamic

[drifting arrow]

Would a 20 second cooldown/gap between changes suffice?

[shrewd apex]

seems a bit too frequent imo but u can try should be fine i suppose

[vapid parcel]

I did

I mean, you did see I checked everything... do you see a possible error on my end?

Well i see now, it wasn't a channel perm. I feel stupid now. But that is reasonable, I was thinking it would give a differen't error if it wasn't a correct perm for channels. But that is fine.

[shrewd apex]

what was the issue

[vapid parcel]

So channels don't have those 3 perms lol

only guild does

so it was kinda obvious it was gonna give that error. I am just dumb and didn't read the channel perms.

[drifting arrow]

[hushed glacier]

commands.command decorator is for use with Cogs.

[drifting arrow]

this isnt a cog

Im not working in a cog :D

[hushed glacier]

exactly, so commands.command decorator won't work

[drifting arrow]

What decorator do I need?

[hushed glacier]

there is none for subclasses of Bot. you usually create an instance of your Bot, and then use the bot.command decorator on regular functions

[drifting arrow]

I've tried @Bot.command() but I get an error

I guess I need to modify this bot to have cogs I guess lol

[hushed glacier]

class MyBot(Bot):
    ...

bot = MyBot()

@bot.command('pop')
async def server_pop(ctx):
    ...

[drifting arrow]

Ya wont work for my setup. Ty tho. I'll just make a proper bot with cogs and what not

it started with 4 files, about 75 lines total.

now many folders and files later.

!message_content

[unkempt canyon]

Discord Message Content Intent

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

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

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

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

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

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

[sturdy fractal]

o F

i forgot intents

[sturdy fractal]

!list_cogs doesnt work

[unkempt canyon]

List comprehensions

Do you ever find yourself writing something like this?

>>> squares = []
>>> for n in range(5):
...    squares.append(n ** 2)
[0, 1, 4, 9, 16]

Using list comprehensions can make this both shorter and more readable. As a list comprehension, the same code would look like this:

>>> [n ** 2 for n in range(5)]
[0, 1, 4, 9, 16]

List comprehensions also get an if clause:

>>> [n ** 2 for n in range(5) if n % 2 == 0]
[0, 4, 16]

For more info, see this pythonforbeginners.com post.

[zealous jay]

Is it possible to send multiple embeds in the same message?

[0, 1, 4, 9, 16]

List comprehensions also get an if clause:

>>> [n ** 2 for n in range(5) if n % 2 == 0]
[0, 4, 16]

so i have a code i which i want the text of the message to be changed once a user clicks on the button, but i think i am doing something stupid:

start_time = time.time()

class PingView(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        button = discord.ui.Button(label="Click Me", disabled=False)
        button.callback = self.on_button_click
        self.add_item(button)

    async def on_button_click(self, button: discord.ui.Button, interaction: discord.Interaction = None):
        if interaction is not None:
            # Change the label to "Stop it" when the button is clicked
            button.label = "Stop it"
            button.disabled = True
            await interaction.response.edit_message(content="Button clicked! Label changed to 'Stop it'.", view=self)

@commands.guild_only()    
@bot.hybrid_command(name="ping", description="Provides bot latency.")
async def ping(ctx):
    try:
        latency = bot.latency * 1000
        uptime_seconds = int(time.time() - start_time)

        uptime_days = uptime_seconds // (24 * 3600)
        uptime_seconds %= 24 * 3600
        uptime_hours = uptime_seconds // 3600
        uptime_seconds %= 3600
        uptime_minutes = uptime_seconds // 60
        uptime_seconds %= 60

        uptime_str = f"{uptime_days}d {uptime_hours}h {uptime_minutes}m {uptime_seconds}s"

        # Create an instance of PingView and pass it as the view parameter
        await ctx.send(f"### Pong! 🏓 \n> **Latency:** {latency:.2f} ms \n> **Uptime:** {uptime_str} \n", view=PingView())
    except Exception as e:
        await ctx.send(f"An error occurred: {str(e)}")```

there r no errors but the text wont update

[slate swan]

interaction is first argument given

button is second

and you should not provide a default value for any of those

[wispy pasture]

i fixed that before seeing your message, got a new error, i am stupid

probably did something more stupid now:

nope you still didnt fix that

and this error is cause of that

user = ctx.author.id```

I dont understand.?

and in my on_message it says

if user not in bot.cd:
                bot.cd[user] = {"F":"✔", "M":"✔", "C":"✔"}

but this is a command

[cloud dawn]

@tiny coyote Is user defined beforehand in the dict?

[tiny coyote]

hmmm

Wait i think i figured it out 😅

no nvm i had it

[tiny coyote]

yh

[cloud dawn]

This isn't an object you make yourself, you can use this.

!d discord.MessageReference.from_message

[unkempt canyon]

discord.MessageReference.from\_message

classmethod from_message(message, *, fail_if_not_exists=True)```
Creates a [`MessageReference`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.MessageReference) from an existing [`Message`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Message).

New in version 1.6.

[cloud dawn]

What was the issue?

[tiny coyote]

I thought the dict was created after feeding it values but i was wrong

[tiny coyote]

Im not sure really

[formal basin]

how do i put a flask into my discord bot
So I can use it for uptime robot for uptime logging

[cloud dawn]

Well the keyerror comes from a key, in this case the user, wasn't in the dict.

[tiny coyote]

 bot.cd = {}
            if message.author.id not in bot.cd:
                bot.cd[message.author.id] = {"F":"✔", "M":"✔", "C":"✔"}
                print(f"{user} is the given attribute")

i changed user and put message.author, no more errors thankfully BUT it doesnt do what its suppose to do

self.bot.cd[user]["F"] = discord.utils.format_dt(now + timedelta(minutes=2), style = "R")```

[cloud dawn]

!d asyncio.create_task

[unkempt canyon]

asyncio.create\_task

asyncio.create_task(coro, *, name=None, context=None)```
Wrap the *coro* [coroutine](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine) into a [`Task`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#asyncio.Task) and schedule its execution. Return the Task object.

If *name* is not `None`, it is set as the name of the task using [`Task.set_name()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#asyncio.Task.set_name).

An optional keyword-only *context* argument allows specifying a custom [`contextvars.Context`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/contextvars.html#contextvars.Context) for the *coro* to run in. The current context copy is created when no *context* is provided.

The task is executed in the loop returned by [`get_running_loop()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-eventloop.html#asyncio.get_running_loop), [`RuntimeError`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/exceptions.html#RuntimeError) is raised if there is no running loop in current thread.

Note

[`asyncio.TaskGroup.create_task()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#asyncio.TaskGroup.create_task) is a new alternative leveraging structural concurrency; it allows for waiting for a group of related tasks with strong safety guarantees.

[tiny coyote]

no error, i created another command that shows you what the variable holds but it says ✔

[formal basin]

So I run my flask with that?

[cloud dawn]

Well if you want both processes to be online, but personally I'd use whatever website you're using and just use their API.

[tiny coyote]

im not sure if this is the issue but i used asyncio.sleep to change the variable back to what it was after the cooldown timer..@cloud dawn

self.bot.cd[ctx.author.id]["F"] = discord.utils.format_dt(now + timedelta(minutes=2), style = "R")
            await asyncio.sleep(120)
            self.bot.cd[user]["F"] = "✔"

[formal basin]

Ok

[cloud dawn]

May I ask what this is for?

[tiny coyote]

thats to show how much time the user has after command has been use

[cloud dawn]

So a cooldown function.. or..?
