fixed that error ages ago, got a new error:

2024-02-06 23:01:27 ERROR    discord.ui.view Ignoring exception in view <PingView timeout=180.0 children=1> for item <Button style=<ButtonStyle.secondary: 2> url=None disabled=False label='Stop it' emoji=None row=None>

and code:

[tiny coyote]

well yh I created the command cooldown:

    @commands.cooldown(1,120,commands.BucketType.user)
    @commands.command()

then i made a variable for how much time user has after using the command

 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")

[wispy pasture]

https://srcb.in/ijQxKiBp9l

[cloud dawn]

To let the user know when he can reuse it?

[tiny coyote]

yh

[cloud dawn]

Why not use the build in error functionality?

The cooldown, when it's up it gives a CommandOnCooldown error.

[tiny coyote]

well I wanted to make a cooldown command that shows every command timer at once, so the user doesnt have to spam every command to know whats off cooldown or not

and personally idk how to use error..

[slate swan]

what wrapper should I use?

[tiny coyote]

like the rpg bot !cooldown command.. or something similar

[slate swan]

Like I think I'm ready to learn bots

[cloud dawn]

Discord.py

[slate swan]

ok

[cloud dawn]

Or Hikari if youré up for a challange.

[cloud dawn]

Hmm there must be a better way..

[tiny coyote]

like?

[cloud dawn]

You could use something like this ->

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

Event that only triggers on successful command, you'd still need to track it... but now it's a bit easier to manage.

Oh and you could use https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/api.html?highlight=on_command#discord.discord.ext.commands.on_command_error to reset the cooldown if it errored or smth.

[cloud dawn]

Well you need both arguments.

[wispy pasture]

can u explain more

[cloud dawn]

Well sicne stop_button_callback is your own function and not a function recognized by discord.py you need to add both arguments when calling.

[wispy pasture]

ah mate, thanks it works

okay so i have this error before and i know what is causing it, but i cant recall a way to fix it

you have 2 separate button using the same custom_id

from the looks of it just use the decorator one, you dont have to create another stop button

[novel bone]

ok idk where to put this in but its for discord but im attempts to make something where its for a cf betting system but like im convinced their code has patterns that actually profit so its to copy the command depending on if you put w or l i have most of the code im just wondering if someone could help me since I cant seem to get the ui im trying to make to work. I will say that I had chat gpt help me like heavily for this and its just past the character limit so its prob super easy to solve im just kinda stupid

idk if someone could dm me to help or if it has to be done here or what

just really need some help

    @button(label="Timeout User", style=ButtonStyle.red, row=0)
    async def timeout_user_button(self, interaction: Interaction, button: Button):
        button = await self.change_button(button)
        original_message:Message = interaction.message
        self.timeout_user = not self.timeout_user
        
        timeoutmodal = mm.TimeoutTime()
        self.timeout_time = await interaction.response.send_modal(timeoutmodal)
        
        await interaction.response.defer(ephemeral=True)
        embed = await self.message_embed()
        await original_message.edit(embed=embed, view=self)
``` 🤔 
I want a modal to be sent and the response from that modal to affect the response.

Anybody able to help?

[hushed galleon]

fyi send_modal() doesn't return anything, but i believe you can .wait() for the modal to be submitted and then retrieve the .value of your text inputs afterwards, i.e. py await modal.wait() print("We received", modal.my_text_input.value)

[drifting arrow]

well.

dang. my solution was to just parse everything through the modal XD

Didnt work anyway

[hushed galleon]

that seems about right if its an ephemeral message, but wouldnt response.edit_message() work instead? (edit: it does work)

[drifting arrow]

it's an ephemeral message

[hushed galleon]

in general, if you want to edit ephemeral messages you need the interaction that sent the message so you can do await interaction.edit_original_response(...) or message = await interaction.original_response(); await message.edit(...)

[drifting arrow]

oh

i can pass the original interaction instead lol

[hushed galleon]

not sure if interactions that edit an ephemeral message with edit_message() can also be used in the same way (edit: this also works)

[drifting arrow]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

lets find out!

[hushed galleon]

regardless i suggest trying edit_message() inside your modal submit first, if that doesnt work then use edit_original_response() from the button's interaction

[drifting arrow]

    async def on_submit(self, interaction: Interaction):
        self.settings['timeout_time'] = self.timeout_time.value
        embed = await create_settings_embed(**self.settings)
        await self.original_interaction.edit_original_response(embed=embed, view=self.view)
        return self.timeout_time.value
``` :D

this works

https://tenor.com/view/excellent-happy-mr-burns-simpsons-satisfied-gif-16091269

Now to duplicate this and fix the errors I put in place to make this work and we're off to the races!

The space races. None of this regular human races.

[hushed galleon]

err, you're not responding to the modal's interaction so i expect it to just say it failed

returning a value from on_submit also does nothing, as per source code
https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/v2.3.2/discord/ui/modal.py#L188

[unkempt canyon]

discord/ui/modal.py line 188

await self.on_submit(interaction)```

[drifting arrow]

Ya I fix it.

class TimeoutTime(Modal, title='Timeout Duration'):
    def __init__(self, original_interaction, view, settings):
        super().__init__()

        self.original_interaction:Interaction = original_interaction
        self.view = view
        self.settings = settings

    timeout_time = TextInput(
        label='Timeout Time (minutes)',
        style=TextStyle.short,
        placeholder="100",
        required=True,
    )
    
    async def on_submit(self, interaction: Interaction):
        self.settings['timeout_time'] = self.timeout_time.value
        embed = await create_settings_embed(**self.settings)
        await self.original_interaction.edit_original_response(embed=embed, view=self.view)
        await interaction.response.send_message(f"Set timeout time to be: {self.timeout_time.value}", ephemeral=True)
``` whole modal

Don't need to return if we can just overrwrite the original stuff \o/

I need to combine the top part and bottom part because the logic for wins and logic in the ui isnt there

I can show the version without the ui if that helps

[quick gust]

can I have separator lines in embeds? I saw a bot having them, but --- doesnt work

the little line above "published"

[drifting arrow]

What are the requirements to use animated pictures on my bot?

[drifting arrow]

[formal basin]

does uptimerobot have an API

[glossy ruin]

https://github.com/python-discord/sir-lancebot/blob/main/bot/bot.py
on line 55 why is it doing

await super().setup_hook()

[naive briar]

Their BotBase's setup_hook probably have something to do

[glossy ruin]

who is their here?

discord.py or pythondiscord

[naive briar]

Python Discord

[glossy ruin]

oh yea

thanks
https://github.com/python-discord/bot-core/blob/main/pydis_core/_bot.py#L243

[quick gust]

No

they were just using an invisible image, silly little trick

[glossy ruin]

lol

[reef basalt]

can anyone tell what is the problem here

[shrewd apex]

• specify intents
• make sure package is installed

[reef basalt]

you are telling me?

[open sail]

I got this security alert on github

Does anyone know how to address this problem? thanks~

[shrewd apex]

yes

[reef basalt]

oh ty ty fixed it

[balmy crane]

;p

[slate swan]

not really related to discord bots

[open sail]

oh sorry, cuz this problem is from my discord bot project

So I was wondering that has anyone else seen this problem before

[naive briar]

People usually use aiohttp if they want to make HTTP requests in their discord.py projects

So, not likely

Anyway, see #❓｜how-to-get-help

[sweet minnow]

When testing my discord python bot (same server, same perms). All slash commands works perfectly for my account, but when I use an alt account to test, it shows "Application Does Not Respond" error. Why and how to fix?

Account 1:

Account 2:

Both users are in same server, and both user has the administrator permission.

But on account 2, if I run any slash commands (FROM ANOTHER BOT) it works perfectly fine.

[naive briar]

That's likely a problem from the command's code, can you share some of it?

what is that library

doesnt look like discord.py

[hot sparrow]

is your bot online? any error message in shell when you send a message?

[mighty pilot]

yes my bot is online and there is no error messages.

i think you meant bot.mentioned_in

[shrewd fjord]

!intents

[unkempt canyon]

Using intents in discord.py

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

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

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

from discord import Intents
from discord.ext import commands

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

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

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

[slate swan]

Modal

!d discord.ui.Modal

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ui.Modal

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

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

New in version 2.0.

Examples...

[somber sky]

everytime the bot restarts does the slash command id change? because at first the id started with 105 and now it starts with 120, or is it by server?

[slate swan]

It may differ when you change something with the command but not sure

[drifting arrow]

isnt it @app_commands.describe(name="Description")
another example @app_commands.describe(other_param="Description")

[hushed galleon]

also numpy/google/sphinx-style docstrings work too (source code for reference) ```py
@tree.command()
async def my_command(interaction, thingy: str):
"""This is my command!

:param thingy: The thingy to do another thingy

"""
await interaction.response.send_message(f"I'm doing the {thingy} for another thingy")```

You need to commit the changes to actually make changes

[shrewd fjord]

First of all why are you opening two connection, secondly you are not commiting in if statement

[left dew]

yes i fixed it now

ty tho

[thin raft]

How can I disable the view of a message?

Im trying to do it inside the on_timeout

but for being able to disable it I need access to the message

[hushed galleon]

you can store the message inside the view after you've sent it, i.e. py view = MyView() view.message = await ctx.send(...) # or for interactions, use .original_response() usually for convenience, i write a view start() method to do this

[thin raft]

thanks

[outer needle]

super new to this (python) and working on a bot, I am not the server owner but i want to restrict the use of some of the commands to just me. i know how to do it for the server owner but as im not the server owner of the intended server, i would like to restrict some commands to just me. curious why this doesnt work:

     return ctx.author.id == ctx.user.id("151480514199552000")

    @bot.command()
    @commands.check(is_owner)
    @commands.check(is_user)
    async def say(ctx, what = "WHAT?"):
            await ctx.send(what)

    @say.error
    async def say_error(ctx, error):
         if isinstance(error, commands.CommandError):
              await ctx.send("Permission Denied") ```

[cloud dawn]

Assuming this is correctly indented, you need to compare the id to an actual id. In this case ctx.author.id should return 151480514199552000 and you should compare it as such to return a truthy value. ->
return ctx.author.id == 151480514199552000

[outer needle]

i will try that thank you

[cloud dawn]

@outer needle ctx.user.id("151480514199552000") this doesn't make sense and will never be true because ctx.author.id will always return an int. You also can't call an attribute.

[outer needle]

ya i mean im new to this whole thing, im following a general guide and trying to adapt things to more of how i want them. return ctx.author.id == 151480514199552000 this didnt seem to work. things are correctly indented afaik because i have the same code to allow just the server owner to use the commands and that is confirmed working

[cloud dawn]

Can you send what you have right now?

[outer needle]

sure

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/MF3Q

[cloud dawn]

And owner does work..?

[outer needle]

yes it does

[cloud dawn]

I assume you want the owner and user to be seperate?

[outer needle]

yes the bot is intended for a server that i am not the owner of, but i still want to restrict certain commands (obviously not this one, this is just a test) to the bot owner (me)

[cloud dawn]

Alright, to be honest no clue why this wouldn't work. I could work my own solution with decorators if you'd like, I will link to the docs ofcourse.

[outer needle]

i mean its not super pressing and honestly i can just comment it out for now. bot isnt even close to being finished so its not super important rn. i just thought i could figure it out myself lmao

    bot.run(settings.DISCORD_API_SECRET, root_logger=True)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    run()

Honestly a lot of it already was on the docs so I just copied that lol -> https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/api.html?highlight=is_owner#discord.ext.commands.check_any

And this also takes into account if a command is sent trough DM.

Aka not crash.

[outer needle]

is that what predicate does?

[cloud dawn]

Well predicate is bound to the value returned by the decorator.

It allows you to do this -> ```py
def is_me():
def predicate(ctx):
return ctx.message.author.id == 85309593344815104
return commands.check(predicate)

@bot.command()
@is_me()
async def only_me(ctx):
await ctx.send('Only you!')

So you don't need an extra call what you were doing before @commands.check(is_user) but now just use it directly.

Imo also more flexible

[outer needle]

oh wow nice so on any command i can just do @is_me() and it will restrict access to just me?

[cloud dawn]

If the id in is_me is matching to you, yes.

[outer needle]

wow perfect thank you

[cloud dawn]

There are also build in checks like guild_only, dm_only, is_owner, is_nsfw... you can check out more and more advanced options over at -> https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/api.html?highlight=owner#checks

[pale zenith]

was literally about to say lol

@commands.is_owner() seems far better for this

[cloud dawn]

is_owner meaning the bot owner if set in the bot/client constructor.

@outer needle I also now know why yours didn't work before lol

[outer needle]

oh okay

[cloud dawn]

If there are multiple checks like you had before ```py
@commands.check(is_owner)
@commands.check(is_user)

[outer needle]

oooooh okay

that makes sense. sorry im not super well versed in this stuff. im like a week into learning python and im trying to do things that are probably a bit out of my realm of knowledge but i like seeing the bot come along

[cloud dawn]

You're doing fine! Just takes time.

[flat pier]

you can also add a check to apply to all commands in a cog

from discord.ext.commands import Cog

class Owner(Cog):
    """Commands only for the bot owner"""
    def __init__(self, bot):
        self.bot = bot

    async def cog_check(self, ctx):
        return await self.bot.is_owner(ctx.author)

[torn solar]

is there a limit to how big modals can be

like how many questions

[golden portal]

5 components per modal

[quick gust]

I wanna add a check to all my slash commands except one. Do I really have to add the decorator to all of them or is there a way I can exclude the one command from add_app_command_check

[vale wing]

Second way seems better, just iterate over all commands and include conditional to check whether it's that one command

[quick gust]

well it adds the check globally

[vale wing]

Include a conditional into the check then

[quick gust]

alright yeah thanks

wait is that possible tho? how will I know what command ran the check? nvm I think the check function takes a ctx argument

[slate swan]

@slate swan

still alive?

[vague zephyr]

this is a simple py @commands.slash_command(name="getkey", description="Generate a user key") async def getkey(ctx: discord.ApplicationContext): await ctx.respond(f"Your key is: {uuid.uuid4()}") but it's not loading on my server

is there a reason why

[shrewd apex]

did you sync?

which library is this?

[vague zephyr]

i've been trying to look for that function and no.

[vague zephyr]

pycord

[naive briar]

Sounds about right

[vague zephyr]

what's the function for iot

[latent jay]

@commands.has_permissions() is used to require command invoker to have a certain permission right?

[blazing condor]

!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).

[vague zephyr]

This interaction has already been responded to before anyone knows why this is occuring (im using discordpy)

[vocal snow]

You can only respond to an interaction once

[vague zephyr]

yea fixed it already thanks

[slate swan]

no

[molten spruce]

I have probleme

I have a problem with my bot

[strange crater]

how can i download py-cord?

[vestal acorn]

show us the error and the code

[vestal acorn]

with the command pip install pycord

[strange crater]

there is no code

i just wanna install pycord

error: Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 or greater is required. Get it with "Microsoft C++ Build Tools": https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/visual-cpp-build-tools/ this could be the problem

[vestal acorn]

ah

which version of python do you use?

[strange crater]

3.12

[vestal acorn]

ok

you need to downgrade to 3.11

[strange crater]

why?

[vestal acorn]

3.12 doesn't support aiohttp

[strange crater]

oh

[vestal acorn]

which is needed for discord.py and pycord

[strange crater]

do i have to uninstall?

[vestal acorn]

yes

[strange crater]

3.11.8?

[vestal acorn]

for example

[glad cradle]

btw it's the other way around, aiohttp doesn't support python 3.12

[zenith yarrow]

Can u create a discord bot using py on mobile?
Yes I don't have a pc

[robust fulcrum]

Hmm yes but that's gona be really hard for you

You may need to learn about linux and terminals

[zenith yarrow]

Ik about terminals it's just like console in js

[robust fulcrum]

Sorry I mean shells not terminals

[zenith yarrow]

I don't know shells

[robust fulcrum]

Then you need to learn ,

Use termux for running a shell on Android and install python on it and use editor like vim for editing and running discord bot

[zenith yarrow]

I've just started py

[robust fulcrum]

Then why you jumping into discord.py?

[zenith yarrow]

[robust fulcrum]

Learn python properly first

[zenith yarrow]

I'm learning py just to create bots

[robust fulcrum]

I not mean to be rude , but it's a harsh truth

It's really bad idea to jumping into discord.py before learning python first

[zenith yarrow]

I see haha i just know very basics of py

[robust fulcrum]

Ye that's problem, cause discord.py requires you to know advanced python topics like async programming

[zenith yarrow]

I see thank you do you have any roadmap for me i just want to create discord bots with py

[robust fulcrum]

Roadmap for learning python?

[upbeat otter]

I mean, if you're going to want to write discord bots you should know more than the basics

like OOPs (especially)

[zenith yarrow]

Yeah

[zenith yarrow]

What are the things i need to know at least

[slate swan]

you should know:

[zenith yarrow]

thank you

[limpid veldt]

yo

i got a problem

[slate swan]

what is it?

[limpid veldt]

import discord
from discord.ext import commands

def run():
intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.message_content = True
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='.' , intents=intents)
bot.run(BOT_TOKEN')
@bot.event
async def on_ready():
pass

@bot.command()
async def ping(ctx):
    await ctx.send("pong")

if name == 'main':
run()

---

i get an error saying command ping not found

[slate swan]

Oh man..

[limpid veldt]

What

[slate swan]

is there any reason to have your whole logic inside of
a function?

[limpid veldt]

so you saying if i removed the function 'run' it would work ?

[slate swan]

not yet

You have to place bot.run() inside of if __name__ == __main__

[limpid veldt]

alright

[slate swan]

also you misspelled the event name called on_ready

[limpid veldt]

okay

[limpid veldt]

thanks a lot dude it worked

[slate swan]

👍

[drifting arrow]

Why isn't this working?
embed.set_footer(text=self.config['embeds']['embed_footer_text'], icon_url=self.config['embeds']['embed_footer_image'])
The URL:
https://imgur.com/a/ds1Gdvs

[naive briar]

lmao

[drifting arrow]

Yeah I figured that out. The imgur link was a straight page not image

[naive briar]

That image is a little funny, not gonna lie

[drifting arrow]

:D

[foggy spire]

How to get bans count of a guild using discord.py?

[drifting arrow]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[foggy spire]

[drifting arrow]

Never tried

Can I use "has_any_role" on a button?

[tight mica]

its not possible to disable buttons for certain users and allow for others

but you can add a check later for the roles

[upbeat otter]

!d discord.Guild.bans

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.bans

async for ... in bans(*, limit=1000, before=..., after=...)```
Retrieves an [asynchronous iterator](https://docs.python.org/3/glossary.html#term-asynchronous-iterator) of the users that are banned from the guild as a [`BanEntry`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.BanEntry).

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

Changed in version 2.0: Due to a breaking change in Discord’s API, this now returns a paginated iterator instead of a list.

Examples

Usage...

[upbeat otter]

You could try using this

[foggy spire]

done done.....

[upbeat otter]

nice

[dusk shadow]

🤔 uhhhhh... confusion...?

how would i fix that.
might be dum. :/
otherwise, idk why its doin that o_0

[lyric solar]

how do i embed this 😭 💀

[dusk shadow]

embed web images?
your link has "..png" at the end

[lyric solar]

yes

[dusk shadow]

and... that works?

[lyric solar]

correct

[dusk shadow]

:?

[lyric solar]

look

idk how to embed this in an embed tho

so i thought this would work

[hazy kraken]

hi

[lyric solar]

hello

[dusk shadow]

i... im not sure that embeds can convert urls to images... they just dont do that.
youd need to add some sort of image section if its a url...
if its just the description of the embed, then it will just paste as plain text.

[hazy kraken]

i need some help

[dusk shadow]

i think the part is called... one sec

[hazy kraken]

idk why gaving me this error

yes

[lyric solar]

ok u have a select menu but not a view menu

[hazy kraken]

oh?

[lyric solar]

this is how it should look like lol

class ExpandDropdownView(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self, data):
        super().__init__(timeout=None)
        self.add_item(ExpandDropdown(data))```

[dusk shadow]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html#discord.AppInfo.cover_image

possibly using this?

or... wait

[lyric solar]

im confused

[hazy kraken]

maybe could explaining me.

[lyric solar]

found it wait

[hazy kraken]

oh alr

[lyric solar]

so you have a class called HelpView but it's completely being ignored and unseen because (View) is unrecognized by nothing

i don't think from discord.ui import Select, View does even do anything

and you mixed up Select with View

so switch View with Select

class ExpandDropdown(discord.ui.Select):
    def __init__(self, data):
        options = [
            discord.SelectOption(label=f"Expand #{i + 1}") for i in range(len(data))
        ]
        super().__init__(placeholder="Learn more...", options=options)
        self.data = data

    async def callback(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):
        with open('data.json', 'r', encoding='utf-8') as file:
            data = json.load(file)

        option_index = int(self.values[0].split('#')[-1]) - 1
        selected_data = data[option_index]
        frxd123 = "placeholder"
        embed = discord.Embed(
            title=f"{selected_data['title']}",
            description=f"{selected_data['title_expanded']}\n\n{selected_data['content']}",
            color=0xFFFFFF
        )
        embed.set_image(url=f'{selected_data['image_url']}')
        await interaction.response.send_message(embed=embed, ephemeral=True)

class ExpandDropdownView(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self, data):
        super().__init__(timeout=None)
        self.add_item(ExpandDropdown(data))

this is how mine looks like

[dusk shadow]

unless im not braining hard enough...

embed = discord.Embed()
embed.set_image(url="image_url")```

[hazy kraken]

aha i see

[lyric solar]

yea it works

how do i move it up i dont like it down

[dusk shadow]

i think thats now discord embeds photos

unless you want the icon of the embed

[lyric solar]

sec

[dusk shadow]

the icon is SUPER small, so its ether deal with that, or have small

that be discord tho... :/

unless its

embed = discord.Embed()
embed.set_thumbnail(url="image_url")```
which is the smaller version

[lyric solar]

yea ik

but liek a friend of mine made the image up and not down

in d.js

idk if its possible in d.py

[naive briar]

Are you talking about thumbnails?

[dusk shadow]

yeaaa, no idea tbh.
to me, thats all ive dealt with, is the thumbnail and the main image

[finite salmon]

thumbnails 🔛🔝 and images at bottom

[naive briar]

!d discord.Embed.set_thumbnail - try this and see if that's what you want

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Embed.set\_thumbnail

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

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

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

[finite salmon]

thats how discord works

[dusk shadow]

sadly. :/

[finite salmon]

you cannot make images which are not thumbnails appear on top

[dusk shadow]

well, or make them bigger, they only i think are 64x64/128x128 in size

[dusk shadow]

since my issue might have gotten lost, i might be brain dead here :/
anyone know why it brokie?

[finite salmon]

you didn't put a comma after the string

[dusk shadow]

wa

what string... am i... ?

[finite salmon]

ova here

[dusk shadow]

OMFG

yep, thanks. me no brain today

🌫️ 🧠🌫️

[finite salmon]

lol

maybe you just need some rest

[dusk shadow]

nah more caffine

brain love caffeine

[finite salmon]

dam

ive never really felt caffeine work on me

sad

[dusk shadow]

GSupps

[fallen fable]

hey idk if any of you are familiar with node js but I got this error
SystemError [ERR_SYSTEM_ERROR]: A system error occurred: uv_os_get_passwd returned ENOENT (no such file or directory)
I thought it meant that postgres authentication was invalid or that the password wasn't correct in my env file but I double checked and it is no clue what to do from here
reposting from off topic to see if I can get some more specific advice

setting up a discord bot in a docker enviroment on a host

the documentation on said bot is pretty poor and made no mention of a postgres database needing to be used looking for any solutions or if at the very least this is an issue with the way the bot has been set up or with the way it was written

[cold elbow]

Hi

[sick birch]

Is this a JS bot

[fallen fable]

yeah sorry I forgot to mention thtat

[sick birch]

you can try asking in discord.gg/djs

[fallen fable]

I would normally have done that but I am currently at server limit

well im over

actually cuz I joined some while I had nitro

im over by 30 I guess ill have to clean some out

[somber sky]

do you think it may be because my sync command?

i feel like i probably synced my commands and it changed the id's of the commands

[slate swan]

might be

i dont really know when the ids are regenerated

never checked it

[somber sky]

it probably is the sync because i just dont see the bot command id's reseting after the bot goes offline because then there would lowkey be like almost no point of having id's because the reason I use it is for the command mentioning or whatever and i think that it would be useless if the id's get reset after it goes offline

commands being synced just makes a lot more sense

cause its syncing every tree command

[leaden olive]

if i change bot to client, the command works again, but the command which shows me all of my coins wont work then

[formal basin]

How can I check if my discord bot stops running

???

like when the bot goes offline it will send a webhook to a certain channel

i know how to do the webhook part

just need to do the checking if the bot goes offline

[lyric solar]

then change to client

[lyric solar]

you cant

also what type of unreliable host makes the vps go offline 😭

[leaden olive]

But then the other command doesn work

[lyric solar]

why would u even switch from bot eitherway

[next oracle]

!rule 5

[unkempt canyon]

Rules

5. Do not provide or request help on projects that may violate terms of service, or that may be deemed inappropriate, malicious, or illegal.

[next oracle]

how do I make a discord bot

like deploy it

[hushed galleon]

get a cheap VPS and set up your bot on it #965291480992321536 message , or self-host it on your computer

[flat pier]

what is rule 5 here

[lyric solar]

5. Do not provide or request help on projects that may violate terms of service, or that may be deemed inappropriate, malicious, or illegal.

how do i set a description of a slash command

[flat pier]

I can read, im asking why he did !rule 5 bc i dont see anything against that rule

[lyric solar]

idk either

[flat pier]

if you're using discord.py there's a decorator, @app_commands.describe() or you can use doc strings

    """Bans a member

    Parameters
    -----------
    member: discord.Member
        the member to ban
    """

if you use doc strings discord.py handles it

[lyric solar]

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
    print("Bot is ready.")
    await bot.change_presence(activity=discord.Game(name="for real"))
    print("buddy")```

Why does it not buddy 😔

[lyric solar]

i dont use app_commands

[flat pier]

how are you using slash commands then?

[lyric solar]

@bot.tree.command(name="refresh", description="Refresh the YEWS JSON File (in simple words, refresh the data.)")
async def refresh(ctx):
    """Refresh the YEWS JSON File (in simple words, refresh the data.)"""```

imma be honest idk which ones setting the desc

[flat pier]

bot.tree.command is an app_command

[lyric solar]

lies..

[flat pier]

no?

[lyric solar]

so i do bot.tree.command.describe()?

[flat pier]

no, you import app_commands from discord and use the decorator

[lyric solar]

😔

[final iron]

!d discord.app_commands.describe

[unkempt canyon]

discord.app\_commands.describe

@discord.app_commands.describe(**parameters)```
Describes the given parameters by their name using the key of the keyword argument as the name.

Example:

```py
@app_commands.command(description='Bans a member')
@app_commands.describe(member='the member to ban')
async def ban(interaction: discord.Interaction, member: discord.Member):
    await interaction.response.send_message(f'Banned {member}')
```  Alternatively, you can describe parameters using Google, Sphinx, or Numpy style docstrings...

[lyric solar]

what im confused

[final iron]

even gives an example

[lyric solar]

so i did it right?

[final iron]

You're trying to set the description of a command, correct?

[lyric solar]

idk why the ... is there so im trying to set desc but its not working

[lyric solar]

the "..." is a description, correct?

[final iron]

Yeah

[lyric solar]

then yes

[final iron]

So there's a couple ways to do it

CommandTree.command has a description kwarg that sets it

Or, as mentioned before you can use a docstring

[lyric solar]

i forgot to sync

how do i interrupt this by a command:

async def setup_hook():
    asyncio.create_task(main())

bot.setup_hook = setup_hook```

[flat pier]

you're trying to interupt the setup_hook?

[lyric solar]

👍

and start it up again on command

[flat pier]

to restart the entire bot?

[lyric solar]

it's complicated

im running two tasks

one is main
one is discord bot

its a really inefficient way to do it, i know

but idk how to do it any other way

[flat pier]

You can't (or well, shouldn't?) do that, you should just call bot.close()or have a script to run the bot again, or alternatively if you're trying to update commands, etc without shutting off the bot and you should be using Cogs

[final iron]

What does the main script do?

[lyric solar]

i used cogs once due to a discord.py glitch in which you dont have to import anything or tell d.py its even a cog

[lyric solar]

run an asynchronous script

[final iron]

Yeah, but what does said script do

[lyric solar]

scrape data from a website

[final iron]

At certain intervals?

[lyric solar]

every 60 seconds it "refreshes" it and checks for updates

if there isnt any, pass, if there are updates, scrape the data of the updated site

[final iron]

Look into the tasks extension for that

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

[lyric solar]

no like i already have that working but like

i want to stop the main() task on command and start it up again

[final iron]

Will be significantly easier using the task extension

[lyric solar]

i literally don't know what u mean

doc is like a wall of text and i cant read it

[final iron]

huh

[lyric solar]

i dont know how to read it

it melts my brain

[flat pier]

You can also call taskobject.stop from a command instead of trying to do whatever you're doing with another function

[final iron]

line by line?

[lyric solar]

ill send main sec

[lyric solar]

correct

[final iron]

Yeah, go over it line by line

The first couple of code blocks are examples

[lyric solar]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/RJZA
main ^

[final iron]

The tasks extension is legitimately designed for exactly what you're doing

Using asyncio just over complicates it

[lyric solar]

i literally overcomplicated it because i dont know what the hell even a task extension is

or how to even use it infact, i need to get spoonfed

else i wont understand

[final iron]

Have you taken a look at the documentation?

[flat pier]

if you look at the docs it likely will spoonfeed you

[lyric solar]

on the page rn

idk where to look at

[final iron]

That's a terrible mindset

Documentation is essential for programming

[lyric solar]

👍

[flat pier]

it immediately shows you a ton of examples before getting into it

[lyric solar]

im aware but discordpy docs are garbage imo

i just don't like it

[lyric solar]

examples that i cant even use

it doesnt even seem relevant

[final iron]

Why can't you use them?

[flat pier]

plently of them look very relevant seeing your code

[lyric solar]

looks different but logic is the same

i dont understand the api reference at all

i only understand the examples

[final iron]

Do you know what OOP is?

[lyric solar]

yea i guess

[final iron]

What specifically about the documentation do you not understand?

[lyric solar]

on how im supposed to implement it

[final iron]

@tasks.loop(seconds=...)
async def printing():
    # Do whatever

This is the simpliest implementation you'll get. You'll then want to call Loop.start() to start the loop

You'll probably want to call it in your setup_hook

[lyric solar]

i kinda am already do that

i really don't wanna tamper with main, do i have to?

[final iron]

It's simplier than what you're doing right now

[lyric solar]

i mean it's "working"

[final iron]

It's not though

[lyric solar]

i have some issues with it not fully scraping from the site

[lyric solar]

how so

[final iron]

Why are you adverse to using tasks?

It's significantly easier to use

[lyric solar]

ill try using it but i literally dont know how to use it at all

[final iron]

You need to be specific with what you don't understand

[lyric solar]

so for now i change asyncio.create_task to loop.start(whatever)

[lyric solar]

okay 1.
how am i supposed to call it in setup_hook
2. how am i supposed to implement it, i already have asyncio tasks working but idk how to use discord.ext tasks

[final iron]

how am i supposed to call it in setup_hook
You'll call start() on your Loop object

[lyric solar]

@tasks.loop(seconds=...)

seconds = what the interval is to run the task is?

[final iron]

how am i supposed to implement it
I gave an example, and there's some examples in the documentation. Just try creating a very simple task and play around with it

[final iron]

!d discord.ext.tasks.loop

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.tasks.loop

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

[lyric solar]

that dont help

[final iron]

It's listed in the parameters section

[lyric solar]

what

[final iron]

dawg

[lyric solar]

😭

[final iron]

you gotta work with me here

Help is a 2 way street

[lyric solar]

can i remove my asyncio.sleep(60) if i have @tasks.loop(seconds=60)

[lyric solar]

thats my question

[final iron]

I guess? I'll probably need more context to the full implementation of the code

[lyric solar]

so basically the tasks.loop will be put to the top of the code

@tasks.loop(seconds=60)
async def main():
    global previous_time, current_time, edition_url, data```

like this

i think im doing it right

and like if its already gonna loop every 60 seconds, i probably dont need asyncio.sleep(60) right?

[final iron]

No

[naive briar]

Oh no, that global

[lyric solar]

hey, it works 😔

[lyric solar]

the global in question:

[flat pier]

the task would execute every 60 seconds, yes

[lyric solar]

👍

[flat pier]

ideally you shouldn't use globals like that

[lyric solar]

i mean it works 😭

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/CXYQ

this should be fine now right?

[final iron]

you don't need the loop

[lyric solar]

why not

[flat pier]

it can cause issues, especially with naming like current_time, previous_time and data

[lyric solar]

so do i comment out the global or what do i do

[final iron]

it'll constantly request the website

[flat pier]

alternatively you can use bot vars and naming that better describes the variables

[lyric solar]

because its supposed to

its not supposed to be a one time request

its supposed to request the site every 60s

[final iron]

it won't though

[lyric solar]

???? wtf

why not

[final iron]

Do you know how a while loop works?

[lyric solar]

yea

[final iron]

Okay, do me a favour

[lyric solar]

i thought tasks.loop(seconds=60) would be just like asyncio.sleep()

[final iron]

no

[lyric solar]

okay so i dont need that, noted.

[flat pier]

it creates a task with a function that exectues every 60 seconds

and to explain what a bot var is

bot = commands.Bot(...)
bot.my_descriptive_bot_variable = ...


# use it later
@tasks.loop(...)
async def my_task():
    print(bot.my_descriptive_bot_variable)

[lyric solar]

so that you can use bot.my_descriptive_bot_variable outside a function?

[naive briar]

# print "Meow" every 10 seconds. No need for while loops
@tasks.loop(seconds=10)
async def print_stuff():
    print("Meow")

🫠

[final iron]

I implore you to create a very simple task that prints something to see how they work

[lyric solar]

okay so if i have tasks.loop() i can remove while true tho

[final iron]

There's some misunderstanding of what a task actually is

[naive briar]

Yes?

[flat pier]

this ^

[lyric solar]

yea no i understand how to use a task

but like its weird implementing it

[final iron]

Just try creating a very simple one to start with

I guarantee it's alot easier than you think

A task takes 3 lines to create and start (not including the code inside the task)

[lyric solar]

okay i made a task now how do i start it

[final iron]

You call Loop.start() on your function (the Loop object)

The docs show this as well fyi

[lyric solar]

no i dont get how to start it

[final iron]

dawg

[lyric solar]

@tasks.loop(seconds=3)
async def hi():
    print("hi")

got this far

[final iron]

look at the docs

[lyric solar]

the docs aint helping

[naive briar]

Why is that?

[final iron]

its shows you exactly how to start a task

[flat pier]

Also a note for when you do implement your functionality into a task, you should use @task.before_loop since you use discord api calls (which wont work at the point setup_hook is fired) and use bot.wait_until_ready

[final iron]

with an example

[lyric solar]

okay but where

[final iron]

self.printer.start()

[lyric solar]

😭 so i need to init it first

[final iron]

no

[lyric solar]

?

[final iron]

that's an example in a cog

Start the task in your setup_hook function

[shrewd apex]

or cog_load

[lyric solar]

i dont use cogs

[final iron]

i know

thats why im saying to do it in your setup_hook function

[shrewd apex]

^^

[lyric solar]

from discord.ext import tasks


@tasks.loop(seconds=3)
async def hi(self):
    print("hi")

async def setup_hook(self):
    self.hi.start()```
yea i dont think im ready for programming

i legit don't get it

either because its 4:37 am and im trying to code or its because im stupid

or both

[final iron]

That's onto basic python now

[lyric solar]

yes ik

but the examples are literally used in cogs

[final iron]

You don't need self if it's not in a class

[lyric solar]

removing self did absolutely nothing

[final iron]

yeah, they're not designed to be copied verbatim

[final iron]

show the code

[lyric solar]

@tasks.loop(seconds=3)
async def hi(self):
    print("hi")

async def setup_hook():
    hi.start()```

speaking of am i supposed to use ```py
from discord.ext import tasks

[final iron]

if a function is not inside a class it doesn't take self as an argument

[final iron]

yes

[lyric solar]

okay

[lyric solar]

so whats the reason of the task not doing absolutely anything

[final iron]

you'll need to show your updated code first

[lyric solar]

this is

[final iron]

.

[lyric solar]

oh oops i forgot to remove "self"

from discord.ext import tasks

@tasks.loop(seconds=3)
async def hi():
    print("hi")

async def setup_hook():
    hi.start()```

[final iron]

Okay, are you overwriting the default setup_hook method?

you had it earlier

[lyric solar]

no its a new file

[final iron]

this'll go into your file with your bot

[lyric solar]

i see

async def setup_hook():
    main.start()

did i do it right?

seems like it

[final iron]

does it work?

[lyric solar]

to answer

now did i fix the overcomplicating asyncio tasks?

[final iron]

maybe?

[lyric solar]

nvm its not supposed to do that 😭

its scraping the same time

whyyy 😔

yea its doing this

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/N4EQ
heres some code

[final iron]

probably an issue with the code itself, not the task

[lyric solar]

it worked before tasks.loop

[final iron]

print all the values and see what happens

[lyric solar]

what values

[final iron]

All your time values you use I guess

[lyric solar]

yea its not dumping everytime

[final iron]

At the end of the day it's your code so you'll know it better than other people

[lyric solar]

    previous_time = None
    current_time = None
    edition_url = None
    data = None```
this?

[vague matrix]

Just out of curiosity, what is the purpose of your discord bot? @lyric solar

[lyric solar]

a discord bot to send this but in an embed

https://www.yews.news/edition/2-9-24-8pm
site

[vague matrix]

Is your accomplishment to fetch the content of each individual article?

[lyric solar]

👍

[vague matrix]

I would start using something like bs4 to parse the html

I don't think requests would do it ideally, maybe I'm wrong

[shrewd apex]

u need to get the html first to use bs4 :p

that's what im doing

[golden portal]

is this chatgpt code

anyways enable message_content intents

[unkempt canyon]

Using intents in discord.py

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

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

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

from discord import Intents
from discord.ext import commands

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

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

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

[vapid parcel]

Okay, so you know how you do a slash command n some will have a thing that says can not find what you are looking for? Like while you are typing something in? Like an auto complete feature? What is that? im not talking about options, im talking about where it will autofill it out..?

[drifting arrow]

what is the application id, what does it do/enable and do i need it?

[vapid parcel]

Found it.

[faint rapids]

Is it possible to edit bot's bio using discord.py?

[leaden olive]

How should i fix then

[hot sparrow]

im trying to create something to "click" all unclicked buttons in a channel, how do i do that?

thinking of iterating through channel history but how do i get the View of a message?

nevermind i got it, but how do i "click" all the buttons of a view?

[thick anvil]

hey, how would you guys create a discord bot which listens to events outside of discord, so how do i not use discord to tell the bot to do something? i was thinking of using webhooks but that means i can not create slash commands

[slate swan]

Im unsure, however I don't think bot can interact/click button from other msg

[hot sparrow]

thats ok, i can just copy and paste the callback logic

[reef basalt]

How to join in teams and How to code with others in there anyone can help?

[long pecan]

Hey all,

Inside a command, can I just have the bot read/write a file or better not?

[golden portal]

depends on what you're doing, what is it for

[long pecan]

I want to create some form of history of an event. (I do not have the code yet to get this event)
But say I get the state of something every 30 minutes. I'd like to write to a file what the state was.
Then when calling a command, say !showhistory for example, I want to read the last 5? entries.

(im still very new to bots so I don't know how this will go with the whole async await story)

[golden portal]

if that's the case, file isn't a good way to store data especially in a concurrent function

just get a good database, maybe sqlite would be alright though

[long pecan]

okay, I'll have to learn about sqlite now too xD thanks!

[lyric solar]

is
while not bot.is_closed() even a thing

[hot sparrow]

is persistent listening to discord views broken? the buttons dont work unless its created during a bot's runtime. about 2 months ago, it was working even after bot runs are terminated and started again

class MyClient(discord.Client):
    def __init__(self, *, intents: discord.Intents):
        super().__init__(intents=intents)

    async def setup_hook(self):
        # Persistent listening
        self.add_view(PosNegView())

[hushed galleon]

i havent had any problems with it, have you changed anything about your view like the custom IDs?

[pale zenith]

It indeed is “a thing” but the real question is, why would you use that? If you need a loop, I would suggest the tasks extension

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

[lyric solar]

yeah saw that issue already since im using task extension already, can u introduce me to cogs?

and where i cant use cogs?

[grand bobcat]

weird thing, when i run my python script, it only prints out my file location, not the script itself, any fixes? On vs

[dense topaz]

Hii, can someone help me to decide which library choose for my discord bot? I used to use discord.py, and changed to pycord when it was discontinued, but quited discord few weeks after
I started to use discord again recently and just figured out that there're so many other libraries now 😭😭😭
Can someone make a pro/con list about each one? (discord.py, pycord, nextcord, hikari, disnake, etc)

[sick birch]

I would recommend to use discord.py just for the support. it's what most people use and you'll have a lot more luck finding help

I'd also say the library has been around for the longest time so it's maintainers have more experience

[hot sparrow]

nope they have always been the same

[pale zenith]

Cogs are classes that are used to group commands together. Often paired with extensions, which are a way to hot-load separate files onto your bot.

@client.tree.command(description='Set Transactions Channel')

async def settransactionschannel(ctx, channel: discord.TextChannel):

    channel = channel.id

    async with aiosqlite.connect("main.db") as db:
        async with db.cursor() as cursor:
            await cursor.execute(
                'UPDATE users SET settransactionschannel= ? WHERE guild = ?', (
                    channel,
                    ctx.guild.id,
                ))
            tc = discord.Embed(
                title="Transactions Channel Set",
                description=f'Transactions channel has been set to <#{channel}>'
            )
            await ctx.response.send_message(embed=tc, ephemeral=True)
        await db.commit()```

how would i make a command where it sets a channel like this, but when you do the command it sends a dropdown menu to set the channel and then the dropdown menu lists all the server channels and which ever you pick is the one it sets

[amber trellis]

where and how do you guys host bots ?

[slate swan]

VPS

[amber trellis]

oo alright

[robust fulcrum]

You should connect to db in setup_hook and add the cursor attribute to bot and use it later wherever you need it

[tight mica]

own pc

[drifting arrow]

VPS coz it's free (friends paying for it :D)

[drifting arrow]

Why are you doing @client.tree.command?

[naive briar]

Define a slash command, probably 🐈

[drifting arrow]

But..

from discord.app_commands import command
from discord.app_commands.checks import has_permissions
from discord import Interaction

@command(name="settransactionschannel", description='Set Transactions Channel')
@has_permissions(manage_channels=True)
async def settransactionschannel(ctx, interaction: Interaction, channel: discord.TextChannel):

    channel = channel.id

    async with aiosqlite.connect("main.db") as db:
        async with db.cursor() as cursor:
            await cursor.execute(
                'UPDATE users SET settransactionschannel= ? WHERE guild = ?', (
                    channel,
                    ctx.guild.id,
                ))
            tc = discord.Embed(
                title="Transactions Channel Set",
                description=f'Transactions channel has been set to <#{channel}>'
            )
            await ctx.response.send_message(embed=tc, ephemeral=True)
        await db.commit()

if it was a slash command that'd be proper

you probably dont need explicit imports. but i think it's neater

[robust fulcrum]

also they should use a global connection insetad of connecting again and again

[drifting arrow]

Changes:

• Explicit imports, only importing what he needs.
• Set the command name (Was missing)
• Added the interaction that all slash commands have.

Also Im not a fan of this way:

            await cursor.execute(
                'UPDATE users SET settransactionschannel= ? WHERE guild = ?', (
                    channel,
                    ctx.guild.id,
                ))

I prefer:

query = "update users SET settransactionschannel = :channel_id WHERE guild = :guild_id"
params = {
"channel_id": channel.id,
"guild_id": interaction.guild.id
}
await cursor.execute(query, params)

He could also change this a bit:

from discord import Embed #Not needed but again, I like it.
embed = Embed(title="Transactions Channel Set",
              description=f'Transactions channel has been set to {channel.mention}'
            )
await interaction.response.send_message(embed=embed, ephemeral=True)

[robust fulcrum]

sorry for interuption, but this is just a waste of memory , he doesn't need that variables later, so i guess there is no need to create

[drifting arrow]

I'm not an expert at SQL. but will the "UPDATE" insert if they're not in the database? or will it spit out an error?

[amber trellis]

no

i think it will punch out error better to go with insert when adding new values

[drifting arrow]

True. He could do it on 1 line. It's just easier to read.

await cursor.execute("update users SET settransactionschannel = :channel_id WHERE guild = :guild_id",
{
"channel_id": channel.id,
"guild_id": interaction.guild.id
})

[robust fulcrum]

i said that cause in most projects i have seen, they just do that in one line

[drifting arrow]

Most projects aren't dealing with beginners/less experienced peoples.

[robust fulcrum]

ye but discord.py expects experienced ones , lol

[drifting arrow]

It's fine. it's just easier for less experienced people to understand

[robust fulcrum]

ye that fine for beginers

[drifting arrow]

I started on discordpy with no experience.

Making a discordbot was one of my first projects.

[robust fulcrum]

i also did same mistake

[drifting arrow]

:D

[robust fulcrum]

but i realized my mistake when i learnt python properly

[drifting arrow]

2 different people I guess.

He could also union for his channel

async def settransactionschannel(self, interaction: Interaction, channel: Union[TextChannel, Thread]):

if he wants to include threads/forums :D

[naive briar]

I don't understand why would you want this; you'd need to manually add the command if you use @discord.app_commands.command 🫠

Also, I hate excessive explicit imports

You'd need to add another import every time you want to use something from the same module

But you do you, I guess

[drifting arrow]

You're right. It's excessive and honestly not needed. But I like it.

You can probably just import the entire thing and call it a day

funny discord subdomain https://androiddiag.discord.com/

[sick panther]

Hello,
I'm encountering the issue that the bot processes the on_message event after my command has been invoked. I can't find any possible issues within the logic or anything like that, I already tried multiple solutions and even tried to ask ChatGPT. I have a simple afk command which is structured like this:

    @commands.command()
    async def afk(self, ctx: commands.Context, *, reason: str = "AFK") -> None:
       
        # database code, saving the id, guild id, timestamp, reason and last pings. works perfectly

        return await ctx.send(f"You are now AFK. Reason: {reason}")

Now the issue here is the on_message event, which is for some reason, trigerring after the command has been invoked. Sometimes it doesn't, which confuses me a lot.

[golden portal]

while i dont use disnake, i'm pretty sure the event invocation works the same, which is bot.on_message event is scheduled first before the listeners, when that happens your commands is processed earlier, the simplest way to avoid it is to use the @bot.event then trigger the process commands after you've processed this afk deletion logic so it entirely avoid the race condition, maybe something like ```py
@bot.event
async def on_message(message):
await bot.process_afk_things(message)
await bot.process_commands(message)

either that or a lock/delay when you first insert the afk data

i guess another way would be ```py
@commands.Cog.listener()
async def on_message(self, message):
ctx = await bot.get_context(message)
if ctx.valid and ctx.command.qualified_name == 'afk':
return
# afk logic

[sick panther]

This is perfect, why didn't I think of that before 😭
Thanks, I appreciate it a lot. That wasted so much of my time

[golden portal]

doing the second option is kinda extra function call but it's whatever

you're welcome

[sick panther]

Currently I only care about if it works, I can think further about it when I got more time. Main thing is I have it done now 😭

[golden portal]

oke

[dusk shadow]

i need a quick example of a bot adding a role and remove another one plz

i cant tell if its discord.member.add_role or something, cause it dont like it if i do that

also, is there a way to have a command ONLY show up to a specific role?
im using
@commands.has_any_role('roleone', 'roletwo') etc.
and it wont show up for me

[golden portal]

slash commands or text commands

[dusk shadow]

slash

ive been converting all my prefix commands to slash recently, so thats why

[long pecan]

Alright firends,
DEBUG time:

| DEBUG | bot.utils.decorators | korty.codes tried to call the 'xyz' command and the command was used in an overridden context.
Whut?

[dusk shadow]

ya got out played :> ||idk, lmaooo||

[golden portal]

you can't really hide it specifically from roles, but you can use discord.app_commands.default_permissions, this will hide slash according to their perms instead of roles

app_commands.checks.has_any_role do exist

[long pecan]

It's still working though, so idk 😛

[dusk shadow]

i mean, if it works, it works, lmaooo

[long pecan]

I just copy pasta'd the layout of an already existing function and changed it accordingly

But it's a good time to learn about decorators so maybe I should

[dusk shadow]

wonder... if i can use that as some sort of check?

[golden portal]

yes that's a check

[dusk shadow]

ok, ill look into that, thanks!

[long pecan]

It does that for all commands i try, so maybe it's fine

[dusk shadow]

@golden portal
same thing here...
is there a good example of this?

[naive briar]

!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.

[dusk shadow]

OHHHH

the reason and atomic

do you need both in the line?

[golden portal]

role = discord.Object(role id)
await member.add_roles(role, reason="example")

[dusk shadow]

GOT it

ok, thanks yall

and its capital M... gayud daymun it

@golden portal
sorry to keep buggin u,
i kinda decided to use the name instead of the ID of the role,...
so what i have is this

async def mute_user(ctx: discord.Interaction, user: str):
    discord_id = ctx.user.id
    if discord.utils.get(ctx.user.roles, name="Moderator♘"):
        await ctx.response.send_message("You do not have Privileges to use this command!", ephemeral=True)
        return
    role_to_remove = discord.utils.get(ctx.user.roles, name="Generic Role")
    if role_to_remove is not None:
        await discord.Member.remove_roles(role_to_remove, reason= "Muted User")
    new_role = discord.utils.get(ctx.user.roles, name="muted")
    if new_role is not None:
        await discord.Member.add_roles(new_role, reason="Muted User")
        await ctx.response.send_message("User was Sucessfully Un-Muted!", ephemeral=True)
    else:
        await ctx.response.send_message("Muted Role Not Found!", ephemeral=True)

i keep getting a Muted Role Not Found! error...

unless i worked this incorrectly, can it not find the name of the Moderator?

or i guess, does anyone know why its doing that :/

[golden portal]

are you trying to mute or unmute the user

[dusk shadow]

essentially Mute.
the function is to basically remove them entirely from most of the server when the new role is placed on the user

it removes the role that has chat permission and access to the entire server, and replaces it with a role that only gives the user a smaller place where others cant see their messages/ nor chat with other users and just mods/admins

[golden portal]

if that's the case the user wont have the muted role, you're trying to get the muted role from this user, hence None

[dusk shadow]

wai

did i flip it... somehow??? 🤦‍♀️

must be doing something wrong then.
i log in just fine.

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/764044076500123648.webp?size=64

beats me

[dusk shadow]

ok. well...
im doing a horrible job at braining here

@client.tree.command(name="mute", description="Mutes a User. (Moderation Only)")
@app_commands.describe(user='User to Mute',)

async def mute_user(ctx: discord.Interaction, user: discord.Member.mention):
    role_to_remove = discord.utils.get(ctx.user.roles, name="Generic Role")
    if role_to_remove is not None:
        await discord.Member.mention.remove_roles(role_to_remove, reason= "Muted User")
    
    new_role = discord.utils.get(ctx.guild.roles, name="muted")
    if new_role is not None:
        await discord.Member.mention.add_roles(new_role, reason="Muted User")
        await ctx.response.send_message("User was Successfully Muted!", ephemeral=True)
    else:
        await ctx.response.send_message("Muted Role Not Found!", ephemeral=True)

i dont see exactly whats wrong here,
apparently theres an error with the first line on the @client.tree.command part.

i threw out the part where i require the mod perm to run it.
and just went to basics.

TypeError: unsupported type annotation <property object at 0x000002459BF32BB0>

[golden portal]

user: discord.Member.mention is not a valid typehint for slash, if you want a selection of user in slash, you would just use user: discord.Member

[dusk shadow]

but if i use discord.Member it does nothing

the intentional command is /mute @user

[golden portal]

doing discord.Member is the way to do it, i dont know what you mean by "does nothing"

[dusk shadow]

it dosent manage roles. at all.
it basically just says, yep, they have roles

no removal, nor adding roles

just, yep, they have em

[golden portal]

elaborate, because i dont understand

[dusk shadow]

well, when i did the command, it said, "User was Muted", but did nothing when it came to roles

and the bot has admin perms, so theres nothing wrong there
*the accout were trying to manage has no roles

discord.app_commands.errors.TransformerError: Failed to convert @member to Member
now after doing more tweaks, i get this

[golden portal]

okay, give me the current code, because i see multiple errors there

[dusk shadow]

hence, why i tried discord.Member.mention

[golden portal]

mention is a property, hence why it's erroring saying property is invalid

[dusk shadow]

@client.tree.command(name="mute", description="Mutes a User. (Moderation Only)")
@app_commands.describe(user='User to Mute',)

async def mute_user(ctx: discord.Interaction, user: discord.Member):
    role_to_remove = discord.utils.get(ctx.user.roles, name="Generic Role")
    if role_to_remove is not None:
        await discord.Member.remove_roles(role_to_remove, reason= "Muted User")
    
    new_role = discord.utils.get(ctx.guild.roles, name="muted")
    if new_role is not None:
        await discord.Member.add_roles(new_role, reason="Muted User")
        await ctx.response.send_message("User was Successfully Muted!", ephemeral=True)
    else:
        await ctx.response.send_message("Muted Role Not Found!", ephemeral=True)

[golden portal]

do you not get any errors from this?

[dusk shadow]

this

[golden portal]

have you sync

[dusk shadow]

yea

[golden portal]

can't repro your error

[dusk shadow]

:/

ok, i ran it again, and it says it did it, but no roles were changed

bruv.

[golden portal]

okay, now, you're doing discord.Member.add_roles

that's wrong, use the instance of discord.Member

not the class

i.e user.add_roles(new_roles) since you named your Member object as user. like i've shown you earlier

[dusk shadow]

my novice coding really shows thru, huh.

thanks, now it works as intented

[void mauve]

Guys did someone worked with Discord API ?
Somehow every other request I am using works and returns correct response, but when I'm trying to get guild info at /guilds/{guild_id} it shows {"message": "401: Unauthorized", "code": 0}

Here is my api class

class DiscordAuth:
    client_id: int
    client_secret: str
    redirect_uri: str
    session: aiohttp.ClientSession | None

    def __init__(self, client_id: int, client_secret: str, redirect_uri: str):
        self.CLIENT_ID = client_id
        self.CLIENT_SECRET = client_secret
        self.REDIRECT_URI = redirect_uri

    async def setup(self):
        self.session = aiohttp.ClientSession()

    async def get_user(self, token):
        headers = {"Authorization": f"Bearer {token}"}

        async with self.session.get(API_ENDPOINT + "/users/@me", headers=headers) as response:
            return await response.json()

    async def get_current_guild(self, token, guild_id):
        headers = {"Authorization": f"Bearer {token}"}

        async with self.session.get(API_ENDPOINT + f"/guilds/{guild_id}", headers=headers) as response:
            return await response.json()

    async def get_user_guilds(self, token):
        headers = {"Authorization": f"Bearer {token}"}

        async with self.session.get(API_ENDPOINT + "/users/@me/guilds", headers=headers) as response:
            return await response.json()

    async def get_token_response(self, data):
        response = await self.session.post(API_ENDPOINT + "/oauth2/token", data=data)
        json_response = await response.json()

        access_token = json_response.get("access_token")
        refresh_token = json_response.get("refresh_token")
        expires_in = json_response.get("expires_in")

        if not access_token or not refresh_token:
            return None

        return access_token, refresh_token, expires_in

[dusk shadow]

ok. so theres ONE other weird issue im running into

async def mute_user(ctx: discord.Interaction, user: discord.Member):
    if discord.utils.get(ctx.user.roles, name="Moderator♘"):
        await ctx.response.send_message("You do not have Privileges to use this command!", ephemeral=True)
        return

so, i wanna make sure that if users have the moderator role, that they can use it and no one else.
right now, even if this is in the command, it still lets ANYONE use it.
if im not mistaken, i need a def for a check or what?

[dusk shadow]

usually that happens when the bot does not have access to that guild

[void mauve]

Im trying to do it with just regular discord user

Bearer

And he has admin rights

[dusk shadow]

honestly duno.
i just know that when 401 comes up, its usually cause theres not access to a guild

[somber sky]

whats wrong with it itd s slash command😭

[drifting arrow]

You can do this instead?
#discord-bots message

Still a slash command

[somber sky]

ok but my questions wasnt about how to define a slash command. I already have 40+ commands and im not gonna re write them just for it to be "easier to read" when i already understand it

[cold dew]

i want to make my first slash command with @bot.slash_commands and it throws me this error

@bot.slash_command(guild_ids = 1205863180887269456, name = "test", description = "First slash command")
 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

AttributeError: 'Bot' object has no attribute 'slash_command'. Did you mean: 'add_command'? (paste: https://paste.pythondiscord.com/EBIA)

[slate swan]

Library used?

[cold dew]

discord 2.3

python @slate swan

[slate swan]

Then read through https://gist.github.com/AbstractUmbra/a9c188797ae194e592efe05fa129c57f

As slash_command doesn't exist in discord.py

(as the error suggests)

[cold dew]

i heard its implemented

[severe sonnet]

how do i implement tracemalloc in my discord.py bot?
i had done it outside my bot, but with my bot i have no idea
it's the only way i can track my tracebacks from my lark
lark don't show tracebacks unless from tracemalloc

[slate swan]

Yes, however as said it doesn't exist as slash_command decorator - read the content at the link posted

[severe sonnet]

guys?

[somber sky]

@client.tree.command(description='Set Transactions Channel')
@app_commands.checks.has_permissions(manage_channels=True)
async def settransactionschannel(ctx, channel: discord.TextChannel):

    channel = channel.id

    async with aiosqlite.connect("main.db") as db:
        async with db.cursor() as cursor:
            await cursor.execute(
                'UPDATE users SET settransactionschannel= ? WHERE guild = ?', (
                    channel,
                    ctx.guild.id,
                ))
            tc = discord.Embed(
                title="Transactions Channel Set",
                description=f'Transactions channel has been set to <#{channel}>'
            )
            await ctx.response.send_message(embed=tc, ephemeral=True)
        await db.commit()```

how would i make a command where it sets a channel like this, but when you do the command it sends a dropdown menu to set the channel and then the dropdown menu lists all the server channels and which ever you pick is the one it sets

[severe sonnet]

guys please

[severe sonnet]

dead chat XD

[pale zenith]

are you sure that's what you want?

are you sure you didn't miss a more important part of the error, for example...
coroutine 'XXXXX' was never awaited

the solution, await it! simple as

[severe sonnet]

well, that part i would receive traceback and fix, my problem is implemwnting tracemalloc

cus Lark don't give me any trace

without trace malloc

i don't get any traceback from Lark so it's hard to fix

due to that i need tracemalloc

[pale zenith]

🤨 that doesn't sound right

what's your code looking like?

[severe sonnet]

well, i could send it here now, but my internet is off

so i can't send it right now Leo

[pale zenith]

ok

I doubt tracemalloc is anything useful for your debugging endevours anywy.

[severe sonnet]

as you can see

[severe sonnet]

well, useful idk, but requires yes

[pale zenith]

it sounds more like you're mistaken. tracemalloc is to trace memory blocks allocated by python

[severe sonnet]

well, first time using Lark, the only way i could handle erroers in this library was using tracemalloc, so at least for Lark i need it

unless there is a better error handler for Lark

[pale zenith]

I see. I stumbled upon your code in another server. let me see for myself

[severe sonnet]

sure

[pale zenith]

idk your code seems fine (I mean, it raises errors, but they're not being eaten.)

tracemalloc ain't something you need lol. not for this kind of debugging...

[severe sonnet]

like, outside my code it's working

but on my but it don't work

*bot

it just compiles in my gramma but stucks when go to transformer

[pale zenith]

.

[severe sonnet]

but still not working

like it stucks when it's about to execute the transformer thing it don't work

i used await

this is the output i get when i make a macro from discord

[burnt coral]

can you not install discord on your computer and take a screenshot?

[severe sonnet]

sorry, my internet is not working

so i had to take screenshot

since my mobile internet is the only thing working rn

[severe sonnet]

hey leo, maybe if i send my my code to github for you to check would you check? So you have a better look to it?

[pale zenith]

sure

[severe sonnet]

here

https://github.com/HirukaRogue/RP-Utilities

[pale zenith]

!remind new 7h this

[unkempt canyon]

Naw.

Sorry, you can only do that in #bot-commands!

[pale zenith]

well that's fucking stupid

[severe sonnet]

sometimes machines are like that

[dusk shadow]

so.
imma need a quick pointer.

im trying to make my slash command only usable by a member with a specific role.
im seeing if user.guild.roles is working, but im not sure how i would phrase the argument.
anyone have pointers?

[sick birch]

You should limit the slash command to that role from the Discord UI itself

this way people without the role won't even see it in the menu

[upbeat otter]

Can you do this using a bot though?

[sick birch]

I don't think that's offered through the API, no

[upbeat otter]

hmmm i see

[drifting arrow]

When you create a slash command you can set the paramater to "TextChannel"
And when you go to use that param on discord it shows you a list of every channel, is there a way to only show specific channels?
Like only channels you can type in or channels you can see?

[naive briar]

No

[sick birch]

No

[drifting arrow]

:(

[sick birch]

indeed a :( moment

[latent jay]

Do footer embed fields support the <t:timestamp:R>

[sick birch]

Don't think so - but footer time stamps are already localized anyway

[slate swan]

The format is predefined

[latent jay]

What do you mean?

[shrewd apex]

the embed.timestamp attr is localised ie based on user timezone

[latent jay]

But are timestamps allowed in the embed footer field?

[shrewd apex]

!d discord.Embed.timestamp

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Embed.timestamp

The timestamp of the embed content. This is an aware datetime. If a naive datetime is passed, it is converted to an aware datetime with the local timezone.

[shrewd apex]

automatically set in the footer if u set this attribute

[latent jay]

oh sweet

[smoky cedar]

guys, i have

import logging

at the beginning of my code,
but this error keeps showing

[reef mirage]

Heya everyone
I wanted to ask if it's possible to setup a bot in a server that when on a specific website they have connected discord account, when they receive a message on the website to alert the via bot DM if they are in the server to let em know there's a new message received?

[upbeat otter]

What exactly do you mean? Where do you want to show the message and from where?

[golden portal]

try reinstalling discord.py

[reef mirage]

So on website with discord login, there's a message chat on website. When the user receives a message gets notified on website. I want aswell to have a bot in discord that will notify with within the discord via DM that they got a message on website.

[smoky cedar]

work ty, never thought of that lol

[dusk shadow]

Woah!
That's a thing?!?!?!?

[dusk shadow]

yea, that doesnt work.

anyone can still use the command, thanks anyway :/

[pale zenith]

Discord already is a messaging app.

[amber trellis]

my bot is not detecting any commands :/

altough it detects on_message type events

trying to mess around with json files atm
i put together a function thats basically like a password manager.
i know its not the best thing to make, but im just making it to make it

        await interaction.response.send_message("Save Successful", ephemeral=True)
    else:
        await interaction.response.send_message("Failed to save credentials", ephemeral=True)

This is what i have so far, and at the moment, and i get an error around save[account]
anyone know why im getting an error?

[near sail]

What's the error?

[dusk shadow]

    save[account] = {
    ~~~~^^^^^^^^^
TypeError: 'Command' object does not support item assignment

[sick birch]

save is being overshadowed by the function name

[dusk shadow]

meaning?

does it need to be a different name than the command?

[sick birch]

yes

[near sail]

your function's name is save and your dictionary is also the same

[dusk shadow]

ok, well that should be fixed now, but im getting another error apparently with my json file. :/
using a utilities.py as a loader for the json saving/loading functions.

Look at the write_cred_json function. You're opening the file in the writing mode

But is trying to read it (json.load)

[pale zenith]

ok, that file seems fine. (I don't know lark so can't judge that, but you said it works standalone right?)

please provide your error logs

[severe sonnet]

yeah, alone it works

but with bot don't

[pale zenith]

ok, what happens when you do that?

and in what file is the command definition?

[severe sonnet]

you mean traceback or...?

[pale zenith]

yes. tracebacks you may have

[severe sonnet]

the command is defined in MacroCog

there is a discord command called "macro create"

[severe sonnet]

and that's the problem i receive no tracebacks

cus lark only do tracebacks with tracemalloc

[pale zenith]

I am going to assume you're eating the errors

[pale zenith]

forget about tracemalloc please

[severe sonnet]

eating the erroers?

[pale zenith]

do you have any error handlers? eating errors meaning that the error reaches the error handler, but you never log it

[naive briar]

Catching errors without doing anything with it (including not logging it)

[pale zenith]

github hasn't indexed your repo, so i can't search for myself

[naive briar]

I'm a noob 🐈

[pale zenith]

you're fine :patpat:

[severe sonnet]

no, only the standard traceback that is native

as you can see it stops in printing the tokens and such from grammar

but then it shows no more erroers

thought i think i had set error handlers

and my vscode told me to disable pyright

it seems to gives me erroers

[pale zenith]

add the following to your bot.run:
bot.run(your stuff here, root_logger=True)

[amber trellis]

how do you guys host your bot

[pale zenith]

hetzner

good host

(free hosts don't exist)

[amber trellis]

you seem familiar have i seen you before -_-

[pale zenith]

mayhaps

[amber trellis]

oh you from discord.py support server

ty for all help

[pale zenith]

yeah I mod there. lol no problem

[severe sonnet]

i setted root_logger to true and the same thing happened

[amber trellis]

actually ? 💀

[severe sonnet]

as you can see

[pale zenith]

yeah how tf are hosts gonna pay the electricity bills, the internet bills, the employees that give maintenance to the servers, etc etc etc

nothing is free in this life. If it is then you're the product
