[sharp dome]

hm?

UH

[balmy bison]

[viscid hornet]

you've told discord to call your Interaction stuff "button" and all your Button stuff "interaction"

[viscid hornet]

literally 😭

[sharp dome]

the button should be only access to the dude who has created the embed how to do it?

like how :3

[viscid hornet]

you have the arguments round the wrong way

look at my example again

[sharp dome]

fixed

now an other problem, how to check if the user that clicked the button is the one who made the embed?

and how to remove the button after clicking ti?

[viscid hornet]

store a user attribute when creating a class instance and check if interaction.user (user who interacted) is that user

[sharp dome]

alr

[viscid hornet]

self.remove_item(...) if you're in the view and whatever_you_called_the_view.remove_item(...) for anywhere else

[sharp dome]

nop it's doesn't get removed!!!!

[viscid hornet]

what doesn't get removed?

did you even specify a thing to be removed?

or did you copy and paste again?

[sharp dome]

self.remove_item(button)

[sharp dome]

no, you said an item the button no?

[viscid hornet]

yep

[sharp dome]

in the:

@discord.ui.button(label="Confirm", style=discord.ButtonStyle.green) async def confirm(self, interaction, button):
Correct?

well it's doesn't work

[viscid hornet]

you can use this if you have multi-line code samples:
```py
code
```

[viscid hornet]

it does work

[sharp dome]

nop

it's should remove it correct?

[sharp dome]

see the button it's still there something is wrong

[viscid hornet]

yeah

you need to edit the message after if you want it to show up

[viscid hornet]

also why not just edit the bottom message onto the top message

[sharp dome]

wdym

because this how it should workl

I need to remove that button ong

but anyway how to do?

[viscid hornet]

you need to edit the message with the view for the changes to show up ```py
class ExampleView(ui.View):
...
async def on_timeout(self):
for item in self.children:
item.disabled = True

    await self.message.edit(view = self)```

this is an example using on_timeout which happens when the view expires

[viscid hornet]

remove it and update the view

[sharp dome]

what is message?

[viscid hornet]

you assign the message beforehand py view = ExampleView(...) view.message = await ctx.reply(your_message_send_thing)

[sharp dome]

ok

hm

something is wrong, it ain't working now

the interaction

[viscid hornet]

show code

[sharp dome]

the button now get removed...

bruh

[viscid hornet]

as you asked?

[sharp dome]

no

i want to get removed after i clicked it

[viscid hornet]

“i want them to be removed” “why are they removed”

[sharp dome]

:3

[viscid hornet]

so put that code in the button function so when the button gets clicked it’ll run that code?

[sharp dome]

class Confirm(discord.ui.View):
    message = None

    def __init__(self, user_id, user_data: user_data_manager, amount_to_float: float):
        super().__init__(timeout=None)

        self.user_data = user_data
        self.amount_to_float = amount_to_float

    @discord.ui.button(label="Confirm", style=discord.ButtonStyle.green)
    async def confirm(self, interaction, button):
        if interaction.user.id == self.user_id:
            user = self.user_data.get_user(interaction.user.id)
            create_embed_coinflip = discord.Embed(

            create_embed_coinflip.set_footer(text=f"{cfg.BOT_NAME} - Coinflip Created")
            self.user_data.remove_balance(interaction.user.id, self.amount_to_float)
            self.user_data.add_wagered(interaction.user.id, self.amount_to_float)

            await interaction.response.send_message(embed=create_embed_coinflip)

        else:
            await interaction.response.send_message("You can't confirm this.", ephemeral=True)

uh????

help me

[vapid parcel]

Anyone?

[viscid hornet]

also if you are gonna use interactions, use .response.edit_message() or .edit_original_message() if you've already responded to it

and also use guard classes to prevent bulging code

[sharp dome]

still nothing

read my message

[viscid hornet]

use this instead for code:
```py
code

[sharp dome]

oke

[viscid hornet]

and reread this @sharp dome

[sharp dome]

idk what responded means

[viscid hornet]

read the line of code

.response. is a response

it says there

you have responded to the interaction

you cannot respond twice so it'll raise an error if you try that

[sharp dome]

yea I see it

i need to send 2 message

how to do?

await interaction.response.edit_message(view=None)
            await interaction.followup.send(embed=create_embed_coinflip)

like this?, it workin!

at least it correct?

[viscid hornet]

that works to send a new message

editing makes more sense imo but you do you 🤷🏽‍♂️

[viscid hornet]

yep, it works

@sharp dome do you need any more help? i was going to do an important phone call but i put it off to help you

[sharp dome]

for now no, go ahead

[balmy bison]

ngl

thanks for ur help

[viscid hornet]

amazing. congrats on what you did, and you’re welcome for the help

can anyone explain 2 me y this aint working

its still not sending the message uppon joining

[viscid hornet]

whats the traceback?

any errors?

extra details would be helpful

[autumn pewter]

no error

just doesnt do what i should

[slate swan]

The error is that you're not awaiting .send()

You're not getting an error because the members intent is also not enabled, so the event won't get triggered at all and your code won't be executed either

[autumn pewter]

where do i need to add where : (

[slate swan]

Enable the members intent
Add await on your .send() line

[autumn pewter]

okay lemme try now

[sharp dome]

[autumn pewter]

it still doesnt work

@viscid hornet help buddy

[viscid hornet]

whats the issue

[sharp dome]

the error

idk

I'm dumb

interaction.response.edit_message

this is thje correct

[viscid hornet]

yes

thats for when you HAVEN'T responded to the interaction before

a response is anything with .response.

so you cant do something like this py await interaction.response.defer() await interaction.response.send_message("hello")

[long oxide]

Hi

How are you

Boys i want to create discord bot use python

Where should I start?

I will use replit

[viscid hornet]

this is a shit ton of code for something as easy as this: https://paste.pythondiscord.com/KFNQ

[viscid hornet]

first mistake made without even writing code

dont use replit, it'll choke your bot performance and its far easier to just write the code yourself in an IDE like vscode

[viscid hornet]

learning discord.py at https://discord.gg/dpy

[long oxide]

Because i use phone

İ dont have pc

😭

[viscid hornet]

oooof

idk how you program without a pc but oh well

you kinda do need a pc for this sort of stuff

[long oxide]

😎

[long oxide]

Hh

İ cry my toilet

idk how to and even AI doesn't know how to use python

[vapid parcel]

Yo can someone help me? So when I add my bot into a server, it shows the commands of the bot in the server, but the bot isn't in the server?

[balmy bison]

To run both your Discord bot and Quart web application together, you can utilize Python's asyncio module to manage both asynchronous tasks. You need to create a main function that runs both tasks concurrently.

[balmy bison]

@sharp dome dmss

[sharp dome]

need code, I have already tried something like that

[vapid parcel]

Does dpy have support on user install yet?

[viscid hornet]

pretty sure its just an out of sync command tree

like yk when you leave your screen on and showing something for too long

[vapid parcel]

Nah I fixed it

[viscid hornet]

it leaves a little marking that stains the screen

its kinda like that

[vapid parcel]

its cuz the permissions was none

discord reset it for some reason

[viscid hornet]

permissions being None?

thats strange

[viscid ridge]

is there a good example on slash commands?

[naive briar]

The official example, yes

[midnight oracle]

How do streaming music bots work now days after the Discord Policy change?

[viscid ridge]

erm, i dont think they care about the policy, what changed?

[vapid parcel]

Does anyone know how to put a command behind the pay wall in dpy?

[naive briar]

Use checks

[vapid parcel]

any docs on this?

cuz im trying to use the SKU

[zenith yarrow]

  @app_commands.command()
  async def reactionroleadd(self,interaction: discord.Interaction, role: discord.Role, emoji: str , message_link: str):

    ids = extract_ids(message_link)

    print(channel_id)
    message_id = ids[2]
    print(message_id)
  
    channel = self.bot.get_channel(channel_id)
    message = channel.get_message(int(message_id))

    conn.commit()
    await interaction.response.send_message("done",ephemeral=True)
    ```
How do u add reaction to a message?

[golden portal]

is channel_id an int?

[zenith yarrow]

Yes it is

[zenith yarrow]

However the problem is the get message

[golden portal]

channel there is a None type meaning your bot can't find the channel

can you do print(type(channel_id)) see what it prints

[zenith yarrow]

My bad it wasn't

[golden portal]

get_message doesnt exist

!d discord.TextChannel.get_partial_message

[unkempt canyon]

discord.TextChannel.get\_partial\_message

get_partial_message(message_id, /)```
Creates a [`PartialMessage`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.PartialMessage) from the message ID.

This is useful if you want to work with a message and only have its ID without doing an unnecessary API call.

New in version 1.6.

Changed in version 2.0: `message_id` parameter is now positional-only.

use that instead since all you need is adding a reaction

[vapid parcel]

Anyone have docs on how the SKU works with a dpy bot?

[shrewd apex]

sku?

[vapid parcel]

https://support-dev.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/17297949965079-How-Do-I-Monetize-My-App

[shrewd apex]

oh

[golden portal]

i guess that is in discord.py's master branch

[zenith yarrow]

https://discord.com/channels/267624335836053506/1223453740884033577

[golden portal]

seems like no one did the docs yet because it's new, once you create an SKU the flow of it looks like,
user subscription -> entitlements -> on_entitlement_create, so i would imagine you just have to store that entitlement and check with a command check to see if the user have entitlement, after that you can prompt them with InteractionResponse.require_premium if they dont have it

there are also Bot.create_entitlement to test entitlement triggers based on this doc

[spice warren]

The SKU stuff is still a work in progress, and following the discord docs on it isn't very enlightening either, but I think flowerpad nailed it yeah

[golden portal]

i repeatedly said to use channel.get_partial_message

[vapid parcel]

okay thank you

[viscid hornet]

# in cog
channel = self.bot.get_channel(channel_id)
message = channel.get_partial_message(message_id)
# message is whatever Message object you want
await message.add_reaction('👍')```

Will the new polls feature be part of the discordpy?

[slate swan]

yes

[drifting arrow]

Is it already and Im just being silly for not looking?

[slate swan]

i know its already implemented in disnake dunno about discord.py but for sure will be

why???

help

[naive briar]

channel is None 🤷

[sharp dome]

no way

i know, but the channel exists ;-;

[naive briar]

Do you have that code run before the bot is ready? The channel cache will not be ready until then

[sharp dome]

yes

[sharp dome]

wait

idk

[balmy bison]

@naive briar

[naive briar]

Why?

[sharp dome]

class Bot:
def __init__(self, bot: commands.Bot, deposit: DepositManager, user: user_data_manager):
        self.bot = bot
        self.deposit = deposit
        self.user = user

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="$", intents=discord.Intents.default())
myclass = Bot(bot)

this is correct?

[young dagger]

How can I delete messages that contain headers?

Example

Header

[quick gust]

i dont think theres any option other than regex

[young dagger]

Something like:

header_pattern = re.compile(r'^#+\s+.*$', re.MULTILINE)

    if header_pattern.match(message.content):
        await message.delete()```

Or is there any better way to do it?

[quick gust]

seems fine

but im not a regex expert

[naive briar]

.match probably wouldn't work

Try .search instead

!e

import re

print(re.match("^#.*?", "A\n# Something", re.MULTILINE))
print(re.search("^#.*?", "A\n# Something", re.MULTILINE))

[unkempt canyon]

@naive briar :white_check_mark: Your 3.12 eval job has completed with return code 0.

001 | None
002 | <re.Match object; span=(2, 3), match='#'>

[quick gust]

oh yeah match only checks if its at the beginning right?

[naive briar]

Yes

[icy bison]

i have a text file which contains around 500 lines of different links and i want to send those links at a 5 min interval to one of my discord channel

can anyone help me make a discord bot ?

[young dagger]

It still doesn't detect headers on new lines

[naive briar]

Show your code

[young dagger]

Nvm. It worked now

        header_pattern = re.compile(r'^#+\s+.*$', re.MULTILINE)

        if header_pattern.search(message.content):
            await message.delete()```

I can still use re.compile

[naive briar]

Yes

[young dagger]

Thanks Cat

you don't need to download a 3rd party lib, discord.py supports components already

huh, it looks like an unofficial reupload of the original discord-component__s__ library that the author yanked

[midnight oracle]

oh, okay

[tender bobcat]

Dark magic related to discord onboarding (Server Guide) -> Resource

You can fit everything any text channel with @ everyone to view the channel. This make a good opportunity to hide auto role embed in there from bot. Even better, the author of the embed can be stay hidden on client-side which might be helpful in some case. Furthermore, you can add thumbnail, title and description to further descript to the user what they should do. (Example: Verification)

In addition, the resource button is being hidden if the user can no longer access the channel, which could make the whole process incredibly interactive (e.g. disappear after obtaining the role)

Extensionally, it doesn't have to restricted to channel that always visible to people just join. This can be accomplished by auto role a role that hide the channel on join/Using onboarding pre-join question to forcibly assign the role so people with bare @ everyone do not exist

Which therefore you can set freely on what resource to display to what user in the server (even tho It might mean the whole permission system have to be reworked)

[frigid estuary]

!paste

[unkempt canyon]

Pasting large amounts of code

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

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

[slate swan]

hi

Does anyone know why the discord API doesn't want to interact with my user token?

401: Unauthorized

[blissful crane]

user token, as in not a discord bot's token?

[slate swan]

user token, and the API detects it as a bot token and gives me an error

[blissful crane]

self bots (passing a user token) are not allowed and break discord tos

[slate swan]

well, previously if he left me, out of nowhere now that comes out to me

and I have tools (selfbots) that do work well with my token, but not with my code, I don't know why

[blissful crane]

?

[slate swan]

?

[blissful crane]

nvm, anyway. As selfbots are against tos, you won't be getting help for them here

[slate swan]

hahahaha

ok, thank you

[proud swallow]

hello i am new here. I wanna start to program a discord bot, any advice for me?

[golden portal]

the general advice are to learn the python language first, learn all the fundamentals before creating discord bots, discord bots libraries uses advance concepts which will confuse beginners and become a huge brick wall on the simplest problems

[small venture]

can someone help me with this

[naive briar]

Did you save the file?

[small venture]

Yeah

[naive briar]

[small venture]

I saved it again and it says this now

[naive briar]

You need to import commands from discord.ext instead, that's where it's from :P

[small venture]

OOOH

I don't know why I keep getting this error because I gave the token

[naive briar]

Did you put the token into the run method like: bot.run("token")?

Doesn't seem like it, based on the traceback

[small venture]

I did bot.run("token")

but the token is my bot token so Idk whats wrong with it

[naive briar]

Did you save the file?

[small venture]

yeah

[naive briar]

Then the error should go away

[small venture]

it doesn't :/

I fixed it

thanks for the help:D

[naive briar]

Nice 🐈

[naive briar]

Only discord.py's extension and cog implementation are asynchronous. disnake's are synchronous

[light violet]

i used discord py too i gave same error

[naive briar]

What is the version? The asynchronous implementation is added in 2.0+

[light violet]

;

[light violet]

latest version only

how do use async funcs in cogs

for disnake then

[naive briar]

You cannot

[light violet]

then how do i use components in ctx.send in dpy @naive briar

[naive briar]

Use its discord.ui module

!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.

New in version 2.0.

[light violet]

i wanna use that components arg

[naive briar]

There's no such thing in discord.py

!d discord.ext.commands.Context.send

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Context.send

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

Sends a message to the destination with the content given.

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

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

[light violet]

Here
Setting up Redis cog...
Extension 'cogz.redis' raised an error: RuntimeError: asyncio.run() cannot be called from a running event loop

Loaded

print("Here")
redis_cog = Redis(bot)
print("Setting up Redis cog...")
gg=asyncio.run(redis_cog.connect())

what else can i do

[viscid hornet]

you need to await whatever redis.connect is

[pale zenith]

Why is asyncio.run being used here...?

Formatting code on Discord

Here's how to format Python code on Discord:

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

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

For long code samples, you can use our pastebin.

[viscid hornet]

pretty sure its because thats not how you make a button

its something to do with the callback not being defined properly

since it requires arguments and you cant do what you’re doing if there are arguments there

you should define complex stuff like buttons in a physical class instead of a few lines

makes it easier to debug as well

[mossy jacinth]

what is this called or how can i do something like this?

[golden portal]

!d discord.app_commands.choices

[unkempt canyon]

discord.app\_commands.choices

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

Example...

[golden portal]

you can also use typing.Literal or autocomplete, depending on what you want

[toxic breach]

I am having AttributeError: type object 'datetime.datetime' has no attribute 'datetime' error

timestamp = datetime.datetime.now().strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S')

can anyone help?

[vivid holly]

you probably did from datetime import datetime, in that case you want datetime.now() and not datetime.datetime.now()

[toxic breach]

ohhhhh yessss

thx broo

[light violet]

why dont i get the button click event response

class BattleUI(discord.ui.View):
  def __init__(self,bot):
      super().__init__()
      self.selected_button = None
      self.bot=bot

  async def start(self, ctx,pokemon):
      
      for n,i in enumerate(pokemon.moves):
        button = Button(style=discord.ButtonStyle.secondary, label=f"{i.move_name}", custom_id=f"{n}")
        self.add_item(button)  
      def check_button(i: discord.Interaction, button):
        return i.author == ctx.author and i.message == msg
      message = await ctx.send("Please choose a move:", view=self)
      interaction, button = await self.bot.wait_for('button_click')
      print("Button clicked")
      action=button.custom_id
      print(interaction.data)
      print(self.items)
      await interaction.message.edit_response(view=self)```

[slate swan]

Because button_click is not an event

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

Here's an example of how buttons actually work

[digital crypt]

so im trying to make a bot, kinda need opinion what you would have inside a guild setting , this is example of what i have stored

"alliance_settings":{
            "alliance_description": "We are a powerful alliance!",
            "alliance_roles":{"warlord":0,"diplomat":0,"resercher":0}
        }

[glad cradle]

are you using json as a database?

[digital crypt]

temporarily

i plan to move to mysql

[digital crypt]

also im using json to just store data structure, actual data is made from that structure

so @glad cradle gib answer

ig json killed him

[glad cradle]

the structure how you store things is up to you

it just needs to be functional for you

there isn't a correct way

[digital crypt]

wel it is functional

[glad cradle]

but surely don't use json pls

[digital crypt]

also whats the harm in that?

[glad cradle]

how are you reading and opening the json file? file operations are blocking

[glad cradle]

lemme get a message for you

#discord-bots message

[digital crypt]

with open ("data.json","mode") as fh:
data=fh.load
fh.dump(data)

[digital crypt]

oh ok

ill keep that in mind in future

rn, this is just a personal discord bot

[digital crypt]

also answer this

[finite salmon]

fh.load ?

[digital crypt]

what more can i add?

[finite salmon]

youre supposed to use json.load() right

[digital crypt]

i forgot the brackets

[finite salmon]

and json.dump

[digital crypt]

yea

[finite salmon]

No

[digital crypt]

iforgot lol

been long time since i made a bot

anyways thats not an excuse for me

i shall fix my mistakes immediately

[finite salmon]

And also for your original question it completely depends on what you're trying to do

Just store the data which you think your bot needs to use

And if you're using mysql or sqlite etc use an async library of it

[digital crypt]

im trying to make an rts game with alliance system

so need nommethings that i can put in there

[finite salmon]

Well that completely depends on you, I haven't seen your codebase so see what all data you exactly need to store

[digital crypt]

its just additional info

imma get full structure

"server_id":{
        "leader":0,
        "alliance_name":"no name",
        "alliance_battles":0,
        "alliance_battles_won":0,
        "alliance_battles_lost":0,
        "alliance_power":0,
        "alliance_members":[],
        "alliance_allies":[],
        "alliance_settings":{
            "alliance_description": "We are a powerful alliance!",
            "alliance_roles":{"warlord":0,"diplomat":0,"resercher":0},
            "alliance_ranks":{"rank4":[],"rank3":[],"rank2":[],"rank1":[]}
        }
    }

[naive briar]

That looks cool

[digital crypt]

thanks, but it's really not

as a solo dev ive been trying my best for past 2 years along with acedimic studies(im not even in collage right now, im undergradguate) The actual time i spent on this bot may be around 15-30 days

[weak tendon]

I for a moment thought he was real sarth 😭

[naive briar]

Haven't seen them for a while

[slate swan]

Good team

[digital crypt]

?

im kinda confused

[digital crypt]

also i may have lied about that

heres proof

also @weak tendon wdym by real sarth?

[digital crypt]

is there something im missing?

anyone?

[slate swan]

#announcements ?

[glad cradle]

are you doing this at the start of your Bot?

[digital crypt]

yes

oh wait that ,, no

[glad cradle]

mh then it should be fine even tho not reccomandable

writing on the file is another thing tho, always blocking

[digital crypt]

im doing it inside every function

[glad cradle]

then that's bad

[digital crypt]

cause when im calling thee fuction, data needs to be updated contounisouly

[glad cradle]

!blocking

[unkempt canyon]

Asynchronous programming

Imagine that you're coding a Discord bot and every time somebody uses a command, you need to get some information from a database. But there's a catch: the database servers are acting up today and take a whole 10 seconds to respond. If you do not use asynchronous methods, your whole bot will stop running until it gets a response from the database. How do you fix this? Asynchronous programming.

What is asynchronous programming?
An asynchronous program utilises the async and await keywords. An asynchronous program pauses what it's doing and does something else whilst it waits for some third-party service to complete whatever it's supposed to do. Any code within an async context manager or function marked with the await keyword indicates to Python, that whilst this operation is being completed, it can do something else. For example:

import discord

# Bunch of bot code

async def ping(ctx):
    await ctx.send("Pong!")

What does the term "blocking" mean?
A blocking operation is wherever you do something without awaiting it. This tells Python that this step must be completed before it can do anything else. Common examples of blocking operations, as simple as they may seem, include: outputting text, adding two numbers and appending an item onto a list. Most common Python libraries have an asynchronous version available to use in asynchronous contexts.

async libraries

• The standard async library - asyncio
• Asynchronous web requests - aiohttp
• Talking to PostgreSQL asynchronously - asyncpg
• MongoDB interactions asynchronously - motor
• Check out this list for even more!

[digital crypt]

there was no other way

[glad cradle]

why don't you use a database from now on

You shouldn't delay it anymore longer

[digital crypt]

welp i got my exams

and im not currently comdortable

thats why ive been avoiding it

[glad cradle]

we have a friend with the same username

[digital crypt]

oh

i see

ig something happened to him?

well there are 9 of us in this server

[glad cradle]

mh, ic, switching to a database shouldn't be too hard and shouldn't require much code changes, i would suggest to not focus on the data storage on json files, instead focus on the functionalities, so you will not waste time on a thing that you'll surely switch later

[glad cradle]

yeah ig he's crying really hard on college exams or slacking off

probably the latter

[digital crypt]

he prob studying

ig he took cs?

[glad cradle]

idk, iirc yes

[weak tendon]

@meager rock this one

[digital crypt]

kk

[viscid hornet]

migrating is easy dont worry. all you need is just to learn a little SQL (probably takes a week for the basic operations) and then learn how to use a db (learn under 30 minutes)

i wrote two gists on this sort of stuff but idk if i can send the link

[digital crypt]

i learnt in 1 day

[viscid hornet]

might be classed as self promotion

[digital crypt]

just not used to using it

[abstract granite]

How use from src.settings import config

[viscid hornet]

learn how to use asqlite after

[abstract granite]

In main.py

[digital crypt]

ok

[digital crypt]

i dont really follow that

src.setting

[viscid hornet]

its a wrapper around sqlite3 so go in this order:
sql -> sqlite3 -> asqlite

[digital crypt]

ohk

[viscid hornet]

put it at the top of your file?

[abstract granite]

[viscid hornet]

shouldnt that have been the first thing you tried?

[digital crypt]

btw i feel like im very far behind in comparision to you guys, where did u learn all this from?

im assuming experience

[abstract granite]

[viscid hornet]

literally trial and error

and just commitment

once you get in the water, swimming becomes a lot easier

[digital crypt]

I'm committed lol

Tho don't have much time as I'm also managing school

This is last year, I'm going to collage soon

[viscid hornet]

no by commitment i mean just having the balls to dive head first into it and see what happens

[viscid hornet]

oh good to hear. 👍🏽

[abstract granite]

I have 1 question

Why, for example, when I put ready.py in an events folder, it doesn't find it?

[viscid hornet]

because its in a folder

basically it’s looking at everything NOT in folders when you write something normally

like open(“filename_here”) will check if its in that folder

to look for stuff in other folders you need to do folder.file

so if filename_here was in another folder, it would be parent_folder.filename_here

hope that makes sense for you ❤️

The `pathlib` module

Python 3 comes with a new module named Pathlib. Since Python 3.6, pathlib.Path objects work nearly everywhere that os.path can be used, meaning you can integrate your new code directly into legacy code without having to rewrite anything. Pathlib makes working with paths way simpler than os.path does.

Feature spotlight:

• Normalizes file paths for all platforms automatically
• Has glob-like utilites (eg. Path.glob, Path.rglob) for searching files
• Can read and write files, and close them automatically
• Convenient syntax, utilising the / operator (e.g. Path('~') / 'Documents')
• Can easily pick out components of a path (eg. name, parent, stem, suffix, anchor)
• Supports method chaining
• Move and delete files
• And much more

More Info:

• Why you should use pathlib - Trey Hunner
• Answering concerns about pathlib - Trey Hunner
• Official Documentation
• PEP 519 - Adding a file system path protocol

from src.events import ready ?

[viscid hornet]

yeah

[slate swan]

Depends on your files and folders

[abstract granite]

Ah well, I was doing it well but it still shows an error that it cannot find

[viscid hornet]

change the file directory to the file so that the slashes become dots

so if its ./src/events/ready.py, that becomes from src.events import ready

[abstract granite]

Ok ok

Thx

Who put this logo down inside my footer but when I do I just get the application. Did not respond in no error inside of my log

@app_commands.command(name='warn',
                       description="Warns a specified user.")
    @app_commands.checks.has_permissions(manage_roles =True)
    async def warn(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, user: discord.Member, *, reason: str = None):

            em = discord.Embed(color=0x7289da)
            em.add_field(name=f'Warn Successful', value=f'You have been warned in **{interaction.guild}** by **{interaction.user}** for `{reason}`')
            em.set_footer(icon_url="logo.png", text="Echo Discord Bot")
            await interaction.response.send_message(embed=em)```

[viscid hornet]

can you rephrase? im not understanding what you’re saying

[sly hamlet]

So when I put in the icon URL into the footer the command no longer works. But when I take it out the command works when it doesn't work. All it says is did not respond to command

[viscid hornet]

so the command works with no image in the footer but doesnt work when you add the image to the footer

ah i know what it is

icon_url takes a web link and “image.png” is not a website link

?tag file

[novel apex]

This is not a Modmail thread.

[viscid hornet]

oops, forgot this isnt dpy

[sly hamlet]

So is there a way to do it without a web link?

[viscid hornet]

yes but you have to do this

(taken from dpy)
Want to upload a local file to discord?

# First create a discord.File object
myfile = discord.File('myfolder/my_local_file.png')
# or
myfile = discord.File(my_buffer_that_i_created_previously)
# and then send it via .send()
await ctx.send(file=myfile)

Okay, so I have a simple issue, I have a calculator command, which uses eval, how can I make my bot not crash when someone does 9^9^9^9 or maybe something bigger? I don't want a limit on it where they can only have this amount of exponents, but I want it to return a custom error if the eval failed, but I don't want my bot to go offline either, how can I prevent this?

    @discord.ui.button(label='=', style=discord.ButtonStyle.green, custom_id="=", row=4)
    async def equal(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, button: discord.ui.Button):
        if interaction.user.id != self.ctx.author.id:
            await interaction.response.send_message("This button isn't for you. Just run the command yourself goober.", ephemeral=True)
            return

        if interaction.user.id == self.ctx.author.id and not self.disabled:
            expression = self.value.replace('x', '*').replace('÷', '/').replace('^', '**')
            try:
                try:
                    result = str(eval(expression))
                    self.value = f"{self.value} = {result}"
                    self.clear_on_next_input = True
                except Exception:
                    self.value = "The provided equation is invalid!"
                    self.clear_on_next_input = True
            except ZeroDivisionError:
                self.value = 'Infinity'
                self.clear_on_next_input = True
            except Exception as e:
                self.value = "The provided equation is invalid!"
                self.clear_on_next_input = True
            embed = await self.update_embed(interaction)
            await interaction.response.edit_message(embed=embed, view=self)```

[fiery girder]

prob should ask in #python-discussion cause this channel is barely talked into unless someone just checks in

and its an overall problem

[paper snow]

is there a Discord library available that is an actual API wrapper (closer to 1-to-1) and not a phat framework in which to nestle your little snippets of python and watch it play with them?

[hushed galleon]

https://docs.hikari-py.dev/en/latest/
ive never tried hikari but you might be interested in it, hikari seems to expose more "lower-level" interfaces compared to discord.py

see also their REST client reference:
https://docs.hikari-py.dev/en/latest/reference/hikari/impl/rest/

[paper snow]

That's actually what I'm currently migrating away from, although I only use it in a more framework fashion. I'd like to be able to use the gateway api and the only way Hikari lets you do that is through the gatewaybot class.

[hushed galleon]

hmm, what are you looking for that the class doesn't provide?

[paper snow]

the ability to finely control the main run loop

So that I can have external functions trigger depending on the actual status of the bot instead of starting a second thread and giving it a stop flag with a try/finally, as well as have external functions cause the bot to do something without needing to break out to the rest api in the middle of a bot that's literally built in the gatewaybot class

[viscid hornet]

can you not just set a cap on the result size? and whats the issue with a quadruple exponent tower? does it take too long or end up as too big of a number?

you might want a math tokeniser that can manually execute operations from a string as that way you can control limits from there: as 9^9^9 is already in the billions or even futher

try and find something online that will suit your needs

[hushed galleon]

im kind of confused why a second thread is needed given that hikari uses an asyncio event loop, though curiously it doesnt look like they have a simple async alternative to GatewayBot.run() which is kind of weird - i would have assumed GatewayBot.start() would be that, but it just returns after the shards are connected, so i have to guess from the source code that user needs to call join() and close()...

well regardless, i don't have any other libraries in mind, but i would try to figure out if you can manage the asyncio event loop without using GatewayBot.run(), that way you can start your own asyncio task and do your own work while the event loop is running, something like: ```py
@contextlib.asynccontextmanager
async def start_gateway_bot(bot):
# Handles startup/teardown of a GatewayBot
await bot.start()
try:
yield
finally:
await bot.close()

# NOTE: this might not be sufficient, hence why I'm confused that
#       hikari doesn't have this - maybe worth a GitHub issue?

async def my_status_updater(bot):
# Do something every minute indefinitely, or whatever
while True:
await asyncio.sleep(60)
await send_status_update(...)

async def main():
async with start_gateway_bot(bot), asyncio.TaskGroup() as tg:
tg.create_task(bot.join())
tg.create_task(my_status_updater(bot))
# If an error occurs, TaskGroup will cancel join()/my_status_updater()
# and allow the bot to be cleanly closed
# (requires Python 3.11+)

asyncio.run(main())``` alternatively if you're interested in the technical details and you have the time, you can try writing your own gateway wrapper (see api docs and my attempt)

[vapid parcel]

I fixed it to just use an API that will handle it all. The reason why 9^9^9^9 would crash the bot is because its just to big of a number, and will completely end the bot. The bot won't send an error or anything, on your console/terminal it says its still running even tho its not. It was just an eval issue, so I took out eval and used an api. This api does everything for me without me having to worry about its failing.

    @discord.ui.button(label='=', style=discord.ButtonStyle.green, custom_id="=", row=4)
    async def equal(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, button: discord.ui.Button):
        if interaction.user.id != self.ctx.author.id:
            await interaction.response.send_message("This button isn't for you. Just run the command yourself goober.",
                                                    ephemeral=True)
            return

        if interaction.user.id == self.ctx.author.id and not self.disabled:
            expression = self.value.replace('x', '*').replace('÷', '/').replace('+', '%2B')
            try:
                async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session:
                    async with session.get(f'https://api.mathjs.org/v4/?expr={expression}') as response:
                        if response.status != 200:
                            self.value = "The provided equation is invalid!"
                            self.clear_on_next_input = True
                        else:
                            result = await response.text()
                            self.value = f"{self.value} = {result}"
                            self.clear_on_next_input = True
            except Exception as e:
                self.value = "The provided equation is invalid!"
                self.clear_on_next_input = True
            embed = await self.update_embed(interaction)
            await interaction.response.edit_message(embed=embed, view=self)```

Then the command will look like this at the end, which I think looks pretty good!

Its like a literal calculator inside of discord, which is funny and cool at the same time, took me like 1-2 hours to do because of the eval stuff, which an api took over because its just easier that way.

[viscid hornet]

holy shit thats fire whattt 😭

idk why i didnt think of doing something like this sooner

[abstract granite]

How could I start breaking up my bot code to get better organized?

[viscid hornet]

amazing, great idea 👍🏽

[viscid hornet]

how disorganised is it?

i say grab some paper and outline what your bot is and does. draw a spider diagram where all the features extend into other features

[abstract granite]

First there are the libraries, then the bot, then MySQL and the tables, the on_ready the events and commands and finally the token

Main.py / config.json

[viscid hornet]

then you can generalise these into cogs, multiple cogs into multiple files and multiple files into folders

[viscid hornet]

are these libraries pip installations?

or libraries made by you

which congrats cuz thats a lot of work to make a whole library

[abstract granite]

Yeah

[viscid hornet]

yeah dw about that

have your files structured like this:

1. imports
2. classes — this counts as views, buttons and anything else
3. main cog code

• abstracted functions
• commands

4. setup func

[viscid hornet]

something i learned to save space is to list them like this:

import thing1, thing2, thing3, thing4

instead of like this:

import thing1
import thing2
import thing3
import thing4

[abstract granite]

Because?

[viscid hornet]

looks neater imo and if you have a bunch of imports it doesnt crowd the top of the file

[abstract granite]

Ohh thx

[viscid hornet]

i suggest the paper strategy because it gives you a visual representation of what your bot does or is supposed to do

[abstract granite]

Yeah

[vapid parcel]

Thank you lol

I did it because, you can always have a command that does calculations, but you would have to restrict like words, and so many other things, with this, you can't enter anything you want, you have to do what the buttons want!

[abstract granite]

And how do I organize my MySQL db?

[viscid hornet]

fantastic. congrats on the calculator design, i love it! 🔥

[viscid hornet]

depends. what does it hold?

[vapid parcel]

Thank you, currently I am taking out the root button to add an ANS button, basically so you can use the last ans in your next equation.

[viscid hornet]

ah alright. its a bit difficult deciding what you want to include considering the 25 button limit

[vapid parcel]

yeahh

its sad 😭

[viscid hornet]

what do AC and DC do?

[vapid parcel]

AC clears all

DC disables the calculator

[viscid hornet]

wdym by disables it?

[vapid parcel]

ill just send video

[viscid hornet]

like turns it off?

[viscid hornet]

oh alright thanks

[abstract granite]

What do you mean?

[vapid parcel]

Just makes it not useable no more, but there is almost a timeout of 120 second (2 minutes), so just incase they don't disable it, it will do it on its own!

[viscid hornet]

oh it disables all the buttons

[vapid parcel]

Yeah

[viscid hornet]

yeah i would say to replace DC with an ANS key since it’s gonna disable itself

and then lower the timeout from 120s to like 45s

[vapid parcel]

I mean I could

[viscid hornet]

you dont really need a 2 minute time period 😭

[vapid parcel]

Maybe they wanna come back?

[viscid hornet]

i’d suggest it since the square root button is also vey help

[vapid parcel]

idk I put high time on it just incase

[vapid parcel]

Okay, Ill add it real quick lol

[viscid hornet]

if you end up leaving for longer than a minute smth up w you

[vapid parcel]

lmao

real

[viscid hornet]

you can also make it green to break up the other colours

i like the pi button, nice touch

[vapid parcel]

So something like this?

[viscid hornet]

yep, perfect

make the sq root blurple tho

cuz its not a number its an operation

[vapid parcel]

yeah

[viscid hornet]

and the obelus is pretty hard to see

swap it with a slash (“/“)

past that, no other improvements

what character did you use for the backspace?

[vapid parcel]

⌫

[viscid hornet]

🔥

[vapid parcel]

I am gonna keep it, because I personally like it, but thanks for the suggestion!

[viscid hornet]

good you’re choosing your own decisions when they’re more favourable to you. great trait to have. enjoy your evening, its 1am for me so i’ll sleep now 👍🏽

[vapid parcel]

Have a good night!

Final product tho! Looks clean, thanks for all of the suggestions!

And everything works just how I expect!

[viscid hornet]

amazing 👏🏽 be proud of yourself because this took a lot of time and effort, especially with the UI and UX.

i might need to take a page out of your book when it comes to UI now that I think about it

[vapid parcel]

Thank you!

[vale wing]

Looks very nice but now look at it on mobile

[vapid parcel]

looks good on mobile too

[vale wing]

Oh alr then

[vapid parcel]

just the ANS button

[vale wing]

We had a command in bobux bot that looked good at pc version (5 rows of buttons) but on mobile it was just damn vertical buttons list

[vapid parcel]

lol

it looks good enough on mobile imo

Basically because they are all the same length in text thats mainly why

[quick gust]

veri cool

[viral mica]

guys anyone has created twitter bot recently?

[vapid parcel]

Ty

[shrewd apex]

cool stuff

[viscid hornet]

no i dont think so. why do you ask?

[agile idol]

anyone know to fix this?

[naive briar]

That's not how you make slash commands in discord.py 🫠

See the official example

[agile idol]

how to fix the error

[naive briar]

See the official example to make them correctly 🤷

[viral mica]

having issues in creating bot

[viscid hornet]

drop the code, lets see

[viral mica]

i just put it in python help

[viscid hornet]

check the example given by catlover

[naive briar]

This is a channel about discord bots, so I don't think there's any Twitter bot dev here

[viral mica]

https://discord.com/channels/267624335836053506/1224641909998227457

[viscid hornet]

i specialise in discord bots so i cant help with twitter bot dev unfortunately. plug it in python disc, maybe they can help

[viral mica]

ok

[leaden olive]

how could i fix that?

[shrewd apex]

reduce the embed description size

[vale wing]

Hello asher when bobux stats ☺️

[agile spade]

Yeah, that’s how you would do it in Nextcord

[slate swan]

nextcord for real

[leaden olive]

I have a embed whose description always expands automatically when someone is warned, but since embed have a max length, i dont know how i can do this in the future now

[agile spade]

Well I prefer it due to it just being a lot easier to make slash commands

[slate swan]

real

[agile spade]

Use Fields, here’s an example.

embed.add_field(“ID”, f”{row[2]}”)

Fields don’t count towards the description but they still add to the embed

[leaden olive]

yea and how can i automatically add a new field once someone is warned?

there has to be a max embed fields

[hushed galleon]

the max character limit in the entire embed is 6000 so you will eventually need a new message
https://discord.com/developers/docs/resources/channel#embed-object-embed-limits

have you considered showing only the most recent warnings in your embed?

[flat pier]

or you can make a paginator

[hushed galleon]

im assuming its a persistent message given that the embed is "automatically updated", in which case giving paginator controls to everyone that can access it might get a bit awkward

[agile spade]

You would have to make buttons/reactions that would cycle through the warnings

[hushed galleon]

but otherwise for temp/ephemeral embeds that'd be a good idea

[halcyon fiber]

hey guys can you guys help me for my assignment so i create a discord chatbot for these

what result did it show?

[halcyon fiber]

this

fucking doing for 2 weeks and even ask help from the damn ai still no fruit

[quick gust]

are u providing an access token?

[halcyon fiber]

hmm i did no let me try out other website

[quick gust]

I believe the access tokens are free on that site, so you can just make an account there and get one if you want

[halcyon fiber]

yea my dumbass use wrong link it works

How do I fix

[slate swan]

This will only work when its ActionRow component

When its Button or else it wont

[hushed galleon]

pretty rare to see message.components being used though... are you sure you couldnt set select.custom_id = "ticket_select" and add it to a persistent view instead?

[pale zenith]

oh wow I dind't read that properly. Definitely that ^^

[cedar blade]

[viscid ridge]

how do i give / commands an option?

like

music = f"video url or name"
and it gives me what they put in?

[slate swan]

https://fallendeity.github.io/discord.py-masterclass/slash-commands/#creating-a-slash-command

[viscid ridge]

ok but how do i

get the returned varible from a function?

[slate swan]

you get it as parameter to function

[slate swan]

whats the max amount of parameters slash commands can have as Optional inputs for discords UI?

[vapid parcel]

Anyone truly have a working Music bot using Lavalink?

I have tried for many days, and I feel like I have gotten no where, so if someone has a WORKING one, please let me know, its really annoying. I just can't get it to work in anyway. I got a working Lavalink server, just not a working bot I guess.

[mighty terrace]

how can i send a dm message to a user wich is given by user id using slash commands?

[slate swan]

https://github.com/richardschwabe/discord-bot-2022-course/blob/main/cogs/music.py
this was the first tutorial i watched on yt a while back and used it. haven't tried it recently.

[viscid ridge]

i cannot invite my discord bot to my discord???

discord.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id={HIDEN}&permissions=1498372353078&response_type=code&redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2F{HIDEN}&scope=bot+applications.commands.permissions.update+voice+dm_channels.read+identify

[vapid parcel]

Does it support multiple servers?

Couldn't get it working

so idk, I truly can't find one that works.

[sick birch]

is it for streaming youtube music

[vapid parcel]

Just for a music bot yeah

[sick birch]

well most sites like youtube and spotify dont let you do that so thats probably why

[vapid parcel]

You are allowed to do it, but it just breaks their ToS

[sick birch]

that means you aren't allowed to

[vapid parcel]

Yes I know 😭

But I am just still trying to get one to work

[sick birch]

and anyway, we don't really help with music bots here because of rule 5

[vapid parcel]

!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.

[vapid parcel]

I thought violate tos was only for discord?

[sick birch]

no we can't help you violate any other ToS either

[vapid parcel]

I didn't know it covered like overall, so thats my bad

alright, thats my bad, thought it only covered discord tos

[viscid ridge]

anyone have any clues

[vapid parcel]

Does anyone know a good spot where people can review my bot and just do testing on it?

[viscid ridge]

friends

[vapid parcel]

Wish I had some

[viscid ridge]

me too!

[vapid parcel]

Yeah

I need people to test and review it 😭

So thats why I am asking here to see if anyone knows a good spot for others to just test the bot.

[viscid ridge]

so uh erm.

why cant i invite my discord bot?

[vapid parcel]

Well first off, why do you have all of these options enabled?

[viscid ridge]

they are required for the bot to work

[vapid parcel]

How so?

[viscid ridge]

i changed it.

i forgot to update it in the discord

[vapid parcel]

https://discord.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=[ID]&permissions=1498372353078&scope=bot

this is all you would need

[viscid ridge]

not for voice usage. and message usage

[vapid parcel]

....

For sending messages, you use an INTENT.

[viscid ridge]

mhm

[vapid parcel]

and for voice all you would need is a voice permission which is inside of permissions, not scopes.

[viscid ridge]

you need the scope

[vapid parcel]

No you do not 😭

[viscid ridge]

so?
discord.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id={ID}&permissions=0&response_type=code&redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2F{REDIRECT}&scope=applications.commands.permissions.update+bot

[vapid parcel]

why you using applications.commands.permissions.update?

[viscid ridge]

/cmds.

[vapid parcel]

thats not needed for slash commands either.

[viscid ridge]

mhm

[vapid parcel]

Bro, I have a verified discord bot with slash commands... and it does not use that scope.

It only uses bot.

[viscid ridge]

ok then what is it?

[vapid parcel]

what is what?

The link?

[vapid parcel]

this is all you need if your bot is just a basic bot.

The rest is usually for like websites n other stuff. But since you are most likely doing everything inside of discord, you won't need that.

[slate swan]

anyone know this answer?

[turbid condor]

I'm not sure but it should be as many as you like

You can make all your params optional if u want to

[slate swan]

like if i wanna pass through an optional amount of parameters like 20 roles, would it work?

[turbid condor]

Should work but u should try and see

Since they are params so it shouldn't be a problem unless you are talking about buttons

Which is 25 for each msg

[vapid parcel]

I thought parameters were 20?

Parameters are 100% 20 or 25.

discord.errors.HTTPException: 400 Bad Request (error code: 50035): Invalid Form Body
In 63.options: Must be 25 or fewer in length.```

you will get this error if you go over 25.

[slate swan]

thank you! I actually just found out u need to send the parameters as snake_case or i got errors. weird.

[vapid parcel]

are you using dpy..?

what is snake_case...?

oh im slow

Simple google search helped me 😭

[slate swan]

lol

[vapid parcel]

Yeah you can't use spaces unless its like an Enum or Auto Complete I am pretty sure

[slate swan]

naw i tried js formatting

Failed to upload commands to Discord (HTTP status 400, error code 50035)
In command 'limit_list' defined in function 'ModeratorTestSlashCommands.limit_list'
  In parameter 'roleTwo'
    name: Command name is invalid

[vapid parcel]

yeah

[slate swan]

once i swapped em to snake_case they worked lmao

[vapid parcel]

gotta do role_two or role-two

or just roletwo

But what you can do is, to make it look nicer..

from discord import app_commands

    @app_commands.describe(paramater='description')

so for an example you could just put 2 instead of role_two

and the describe will let you put a description for that paramater

[slate swan]

ohhhh

[vapid parcel]

which shows up above in slash commands.

if you want it to look nicer thats what I suggest, but thats up to you. either way the main goal is to have the bot work at the end lmao

[abstract granite]

How do I create buttons with Python?

[vapid parcel]

Actually, don't use that example

[slate swan]

no that's actually perfect! thank you for the help.

[vapid parcel]

So I made my own discord.py template, which shows buttons, which is the latest way of doing it.

https://github.com/RejectModderss/Discord.py-Template/blob/main/views/example.py#L97

[abstract granite]

Ok

[vapid parcel]

yeah, the old one I just showed you is a little outdated in a way

[vapid parcel]

No problem! Hope it works out!

[slate swan]

wait, how can you put a 2 as a parameter o.O

like _1? or am I missing something

[vapid parcel]

wait can you not do numbers?

oh, I didn't know you needed 2 characters, that is my bad!! You can just do one, two, three instead of roleone, roletwo, rolethree?

I didn't know you needed 2 characters for a parameter to work, I am sorry.

[vapid parcel]

Did you ever get those buttons working? Or are you still needing help, because I can always help you!

[slate swan]

no. no it's okay. a semi-clean way you gave me the idea for was just to do
_1 = "Role 1"

[vapid parcel]

or

you could do r1 as role 1

but either works, glad I could help lol

[keen lynx]

Not always but some specific cmd output print 2 times.this does not happen with all cmd just with few commands. idk whats the issue.

[dusk ermine]

if interaction.select.custom_id == "ticket_select": AttributeError: 'Interaction' objecy has no attribute 'select'

[naive briar]

Shocking

[vapid parcel]

I know why

await bot.process_commands(message)

if you have this in an on_message event, then you will have it do it twice.

[keen lynx]

oh!! but it does not happens with all command only with few

[vapid parcel]

You are using cogs right?

Each cog can have its own on_message event, meaning not all of your cogs have an on message event, but any cog with an on message event and have await bot.process_commands(message) it will send twice

Thats just from expirence tho!

[vapid parcel]

@keen lynx did you fix it, or is it still happening?

[keen lynx]

no i haven’t fixed it yet, thnx for the ping so, what's exactly is the fix bot has 200+ cmd with 20+cogs it happens with only 3/4 commands. await bot.process_commands(message this only exist in main.py no cogs has it

[vapid parcel]

take it out of main.py

you have no reason to have it in main.py, you honestly don't need that

[keen lynx]

i do need it. it's very important i guess lemme fetch the code

@client.event
async def on_message(message, **kwargs):
    #message.content = message.content.lower()
    msg = message.content.lower()

    if message.author == client.user:
        return

    if message.content.startswith("Sudo "):
        message.content = message.content.replace("Sudo ", "sudo ")
 await client.process_commands(message)

[naive briar]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot - you can turn case_insensitive on to make the bot ignore cases for the prefix/command, so you don't have to do it manually

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot

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

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

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

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

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

New in version 2.0.

[vapid parcel]

You don't need it.

[keen lynx]

ok i will try. thank you.

[vapid parcel]

np

I have never needed

bot.process_commands(message)

[keen lynx]

it worked. yeah no need of it

prefixes = ["Sudo ", "sudo "] # Add all your prefixes here
super().init(commands.when_mentioned_or(*prefixes)

[vapid parcel]

Mhm

You will never need that in your bot

Unless its an all 1 one file, then you will never need it

[sturdy fractal]

Can we log deleted media files ( videos , pdf , exe , XML , )
Ik we can log images

[dusk ermine]

How do I fix?

[naive briar]

Don't try to access attributes that doesn't exist

Where did you get the interaction.select from anyway?

[dusk ermine]

What do you mean

[naive briar]

Where did you get the idea to try and access a select attribute of interaction? That doesn't exist

Maybe you're mixing different libraries?

[dusk ermine]

I followed a tutorial on YouTube

[jade frost]

1-is there free good api, 2-can build discord bot with python?

[sudden dirge]

1. api for what?

2. yes, there is nextcord, discord.py, pycord and many more

[jade frost]

not bot need api?

[sudden dirge]

are you taking about free hosting for the bot?

[jade frost]

can bot work in discord server-channel for 24 without my pc

[sudden dirge]

if you don't want to use your pc to run the bot, there are a few, decent-ish free hosting - but if you want guaranteed 24/7 (not including server down time for upgrades or whatever) you should look into a paid hosting service

[jade frost]

like what ?if you help me with some name, cuz i spend time try some and work for 2 h and stop

and may i ask about something, why bots not run on channel it self inside the discord servers?

its logic that channels work on pc servers like bots

[sudden dirge]

discord doesn't host bots, it's up to the developer to keep the bot online

[sudden dirge]

just google discord bot hosting, whether you want free or paid you'll be able to find it.

[jade frost]

you give me your time, and care ,and helped me🙏

[sly hamlet]

Is there a discord.py updated that does error handleing different I can't see errors in my console now

[naive briar]

Are you running the bot with the .run method? If not, you'd need to setup logging

!d discord.utils.setup_logging - or use this convenient function

[unkempt canyon]

discord.utils.setup\_logging

discord.utils.setup_logging(*, handler=..., formatter=..., level=..., root=True)```
A helper function to setup logging.

This is superficially similar to [`logging.basicConfig()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/logging.html#logging.basicConfig) but uses different defaults and a colour formatter if the stream can display colour.

This is used by the [`Client`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Client) to set up logging if `log_handler` is not `None`.

New in version 2.0.

[sly hamlet]

This looks fun

[viscid hornet]

it only works for https://

[vapid parcel]

are you using ctx.defer?

[vapid parcel]

I know why, you are putting discod.Embed, its discord.Embed.

If you change that, then it should be fixed!

[vapid parcel]

No problem!

[ocean spindle]

yeah I figured it out, this is close to the solution tho

[vapid parcel]

Okay!

Hope it works!

[vapid parcel]

Not how you should do ping, what you should do is

        latency = round(bot.latency * 1000)

[vapid parcel]

Also I recommend switching to aiosqlite, instead of just regular sqlite!

[ocean spindle]

i did tysm

[vapid parcel]

Also, I recommend using aiohttp! Its a better library than httpx.

[ocean spindle]

eh, i'll use httpx for now

but thanks

[vapid parcel]

Okay, just a recommendation!

Alright, I think no one else needs help.

[fading marlin]

^ it's not just better, it's async, which means it doesn't block your code. Your bot will freeze for the amount of time httpx.get takes to yield, which could cause problems. Further, you should be careful with how you handle user-inputted URLs. There's always that not-so-nice user that might try to do something malicious and screw you over, @ocean spindle.

[vapid parcel]

Yeah, making it better xd

Also, they should probably open the links within a save enviroment, just incase.

Or make the command developer/owner only.

[fading marlin]

httpx itself also includes an async client

[vapid parcel]

I did not know that.

Ive always used aiohttp so i guess I never looked into that. But nice to know, I just think aiohttp is really good.

[fading marlin]

I didn't know either until about 10 seconds ago haha

[vapid parcel]

lmao, thats fair

[ocean spindle]

how would i go about doing that?

should I run my bot on a VM?

[vapid parcel]

What you could use is

uptimerobot which will do the stuff for you, it will check if the website is up or down

Which is ran in a save environment.

or isitup.org something like that would work I think

I think isitup.org was removed actually, so I guess use uptimerobot

[ocean spindle]

it only allows 50 requests

[vapid parcel]

per?

Actually, here, you could possibly use

https://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/

https://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/services/api

They are a good website

[ocean spindle]

ngl I'll prolly just remove the command for now

[vapid parcel]

alr lol

[ocean spindle]

but my issue is whenever I remove a command it can't leave

like it's stuck there

[vapid parcel]

wdym?

just sync the commands again?

[ocean spindle]

here's the problem

i tried that

[vapid parcel]

then refresh your client

and it should be gone

[ocean spindle]

like refresh in what way?

[vapid parcel]

you are on pc?

[ocean spindle]

ye windows

[vapid parcel]

do ctrl + r

it will refresh discord

then the command should be gone :)

[ocean spindle]

didn't work

[vapid parcel]

are you syncing?

You need to sync the command, then refresh discord

ill send a video of this working 😭

[ocean spindle]

in the on_ready function?

[vapid parcel]

my mic was on, oops lmao

[vapid parcel]

are you using cogs?

also, never put anything inside of on ready :)

[ocean spindle]

why not?

[vapid parcel]

Its bad

Are you using cogs tho?

[ocean spindle]

no

[vapid parcel]

do you know cogs?

[ocean spindle]

nah

[vapid parcel]

Here, I am going to give you my template, which shows cogs, and you can see I never use on_ready to do any of that, also this has a custom sync command. Which you can run each time you need to sync!

https://github.com/RejectModderss/Discord.py-Template

This teaches cogs, sub commands, hybrid commands, prefix commands, buttons, drop down menus, and more.

[sick birch]

Looks nice! though not sure if I like the naming scheme for the modules. This is how I did mine: https://github.com/Robin5605/discord-bot-template

[vapid parcel]

Whats wrong with them?

[vapid parcel]

Also thank you, I do cogs differently from how others do it, I never understood how others did it with the setup at the end of the py files, so I just did it this way, but someone taught me to do it this way. Loading them with the setup at the bottom of each py file is better imo because you can unload each extension instead of all of the extensions but its fine lol.

[sick birch]

modules should be snake_cased

[vapid parcel]

Oh in the views?

For buttons n stuff?

[hushed galleon]

your package names are a pep 8 compliance violation of utmost egregious-ness
https://peps.python.org/pep-0008/#package-and-module-names

also unnecessary usage/nesting of namespace packages, but thats not too important

[hushed galleon]

^ i too have been structuring my (newer) bots in a single, top-level package
https://github.com/thegamecracks/thestarboard/tree/main/src/thestarboard

[vapid parcel]

Well, I didn't really think it mattered at the end of the day

[sick birch]

code cleanliness is probably just as important as functionality

[sick birch]

nice! i like this, i might steal some ideas

[vapid parcel]

Sorry lol

I didn't really know, I thought it didn't effect it

[hushed galleon]

for python applications in general, whatever file structure works and looks nice will be fine

[vapid parcel]

I mean, that code runs perfect, but I am a little confused on what parts you guys want me to change

Are you guys talking abt the file names?

[hushed galleon]

im not saying you should change anything cause it works fine, its just a bit unconventional

"conventional" package/module naming would be snake_case

[vapid parcel]

Oh, okay, I was just a little confused on if you guys were trying to say it would effect the functionality of the bot or what lol.

[vapid parcel]

But that won't effect the project correct if its not snake_case?

[hushed galleon]

nope, just how your imports look

[vapid parcel]

oh okay

Was a little confused for a second, sorry about that.

[hushed galleon]

oh yeah i didnt mean to be claiming they were serious issues, just file aesthetics

[vapid parcel]

Yeah thats what had me confused, I was oh shit is this gonna cause issues in the future?

But glad you cleared it up lol, kinda had me worried on something I never knew or thought about.

[sick birch]

i'm curious, though - how are you doing your migrations? is it all in the docker-entrypoint.sh shell script? do you simply run the numbered .sql files in migrations/ one by one?

[sly hamlet]

still cant get it to work py @bot.event async def on_member_join(member): role = discord.utils.get(member.guild.roles, id=924252667809779733) await member.add_roles(role, atomic=True) channel = bot.get_channel(924384859923837018) em = discord.Embed(title="Welcome", description=f"Hello {member.mention}, Welcome to", color=0x00ff00) em.set_footer(text=f"test") await channel.send(embed=em)

[vapid parcel]

just add this

@bot.event
async def on_member_join(member):
    try:
        role = discord.utils.get(member.guild.roles, id=924252667809779733)
        await member.add_roles(role, atomic=True)
        channel = bot.get_channel(924384859923837018)
        em = discord.Embed(title="Welcome", description=f"Hello {member.mention}, Welcome to", color=0x00ff00)
        em.set_footer(text=f"test")
        await channel.send(embed=em)
    except Exception as e:
        print(f"{e}")

also what is atomic?

[sly hamlet]

what do you mean

[vapid parcel]

atomic=True

what is that?

[sly hamlet]

You know that's a very good question

[vapid parcel]

[sly hamlet]

Also, that doesn't return back to anything

[vapid parcel]

So is the role id correct?

and is the channel correct?

[sly hamlet]

Yes

[vapid parcel]

Here, let me join the testing server and Ill help you?

Ill use my own bot for testing tho?

[sly hamlet]

Yes

[vapid parcel]

okay, just send the invite in my dms

[vapid parcel]

Issue fixed, was just missing intents.

[hushed galleon]

yes, i was experimenting with having the database container do its own migrations instead of running them from the app - it was kind of awkward and still left me the question of how i would deal with different branches... i remember reading something about simplifying migrations to dev -> staging -> prod without tracking a bunch of ordered scripts, but i cant for the life of me find that article again

[sick birch]

aw 😦 that's one of my biggest pain points

[naive elbow]

guys how i can mention all members with bot on my server

[golden portal]

you should just use everyone mention instead of doing individual mention

[naive elbow]

I mean dm

[golden portal]

so mass DM? you're gonna get ratelimited doing that

[vapid parcel]

thats against tos.

[vapid parcel]

!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.

[naive elbow]

?

[vapid parcel]

read this.

[naive elbow]

ok

[vapid parcel]

Its against ToS to do mass dm.

[naive elbow]

it’s ok

[glass bluff]

how are you even supposed to learn

how to write discorad bots

i get confused in the documentation thing

[vapid parcel]

YouTube, Documentation, Templates, People

[glass bluff]

oh yeah thats true

but like does discord expect you to just look through the documentation

and learn from there generally

[vapid parcel]

idk

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

best spot to learn

[leaden olive]

yea

[leaden olive]

i use aiomysql

[mighty terrace]

how can i tell the bot so it automatically reacts on its own messsage after he sent it?

i tried looking it up but the way i found it everywhere is not working

[pale zenith]

message = await xxxxx.send("hello")
await message.add_reaction("👋")

[mighty terrace]

thats what i kinda tried but since im working with @bot.tree.commands i used interaction

[pale zenith]

after you send your .response,
msg = await interaction.original_response()

since .response.x methods always return None

[mighty terrace]

i think i understand thank you

[sick birch]

yes, discord.py is an advanced library and it's generally expected you know python well and how to read docs efficiently

doesn't mean you can't learn it if you're a beginner, though. it will just be harder

[viscid hornet]

idk what this means but here you go

[viscid hornet]

start small, do your research, watch tutorials, ask for help, get used to writing whatever code you're doing and you'll get there eventually

[viscid hornet]

isnt there already asqlite for this sort of thing?
https://github.com/Rapptz/asqlite

[quick gust]

they both allow you to use sqlite asynchronously ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[midnight oracle]

Hya, a little question here. I have uploaded the ffmpeg.exe file to my bot repo, what should I do in the settings.py file to define the dir of the ffmpeg ans use it from there in the code? Idk if I explain myself xd

I mean, how do I run the exe with the config I have already defined in a list for the ffmpeg using the EXE in the repo

[vapid parcel]

Thats why

[vapid parcel]

For regular sqlite no

[viscid hornet]

whats the difference between asqlite and aiosqlite then?

[viscid hornet]

this doesnt sound like discord bots

[midnight oracle]

It is :b

it's for a personal music bot

[viscid hornet]

to run it when the bot is starting up?

[midnight oracle]

Nope, I want to host the bot

buut i need to use the ffmpeg exe that i uploaded to the repo insted of the PC's one bc it is being hosted

so the "server" does not have ffmpeg installed

Idk if I'm explain myself. Am I? xd

[balmy hornet]

noted. after fighting with boto3, and trying later with aioboto3 and aiobotocore for half the day yesterday trying to get asynchronous AWS integration working... I finally got it working after abandoning all hope w/ that and using asyncio.create_subprocess_exec() and a cli tool.

Don't use aioboto3 lol, it lies... it LIES!!! it killed my bot whenever it ran lol. Cut off its blood supply and left it lifeless. :(

[viscid hornet]

||did you forget to reply to a message lmao||

[viscid hornet]

explain in simpler terms

im not understanding

[balmy hornet]

nah this is just documenting for future peeps who do similar stuff. Ik when I'm doing something and having issues I'll often use Discord's search to see if anyone else has had a similar issue. This came up blank so I was on my own. Hopefully the next person won't be. :)

[vapid parcel]

Bro, I said regular sqlite 😭

[sick birch]

you're trying to upload files to S3, right?

i believe you can just do that over HTTP

[viscid hornet]

idk what you're talking about anymore
