[shy eagle]

what message

[wanton current]

are you defining the function below your client?

[shy eagle]

yeah

[wanton current]

move it so it's defined above

the code is read top to bottom

[shy eagle]

one sec

[primal sail]

hello everyone i lf store data for each of my user for start i make something like this
global donnees

ID = ctx.author.id
if ID not in donnees:
donnees[ID] = {
'Inventaire': ["breche commune"],
'personnages': [],
'equipements':[],
'argent': 0,
'prime': 0,
'elo': 0,
'pv': 0,
'fragementCommun': 0,
'fragementInhabituel': 0,
'fragementRare': 0,
'fragementMystique': 0,
'fragementDivin': 0
}

but i loose the data at each restart of my bot i think i need to use database but how can i made for use it and can i recycle my code with my dictionary or i need to remove it and make the same with database ? thanks

[shy eagle]

NameError: name 'get_prefix' is not defined```

sending the error one more time

what do i do

some sort of import?

[primal sail]

where did you define your prefix ?

you need to make something like that at the start of your code intents = discord.Intents.default()
client = discord.Client(intents=intents)
client = commands.Bot(command_prefix='!', intents = discord.Intents.all())

but go watch tutorial for make discord bot i think for get the basic

[shy eagle]

im trying to make a code to change prefix when you're in another discord server

[primal sail]

oh i see

[shy eagle]

^

client = commands.Bot(command_prefix = get_prefix, help_command=None, intents = discord.Intents.all())

and says get_prefix is not defined

[wanton current]

can you send your entire code

[shy eagle]

althought i believe it should have been correct

[wanton current]

[shy eagle]

of the whole bot?

[primal sail]

btw if someone can help me

[wanton current]

of the file where client = ... is

[wanton current]

I mean, you'd usually want a database for storing data persistantly between restarts

[shy eagle]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/XJ5Q

here @wanton current

[wanton current]

you need to put your function above the client definition:

def get_prefix(client, message):
  with open('prefixes.json', 'r') as f:
    prefixes = json.load(f)


  return prefixes[str(message.guild.id)]

client = commands.Bot(command_prefix = get_prefix, help_command=None, intents = discord.Intents.all())

[primal sail]

so i need to remove all my code with my dictionary ?

or i can use it with db

[wanton current]

also i'd reccomend using an actual database instead of a json file, but that's a different topic

[wanton current]

depends on what db you use, but it's usually structured differently, yes.

[primal sail]

i cant just save my dictionary 😭 ?

[upbeat otter]

you can

[primal sail]

because i make all my current code with dictionary

and i am really lazy to remake all

[primal sail]

how?

[upbeat otter]

using json files
what is your use case?

[primal sail]

i want to store inventory and other information of every user

this is my dictionary : ID = ctx.author.id if ID not in donnees: donnees[ID] = { 'Inventaire': ["breche commune"], 'personnages': [], 'equipements':[], 'argent': 0, 'prime': 0, 'elo': 0, 'pv': 0, 'fragementCommun': 0, 'fragementInhabituel': 0, 'fragementRare': 0, 'fragementMystique': 0, 'fragementDivin': 0 }

how can i save it in a json so ?

[twilit grotto]

make a json file, and save the dictionary to it ;)

[primal sail]

yes but how 😭

i never use json before

[twilit grotto]

!d json.dumps

[unkempt canyon]

json.dumps

json.dumps(obj, *, skipkeys=False, ensure_ascii=True, check_circular=True, allow_nan=True, cls=None, indent=None, separators=None, default=None, sort_keys=False, **kw)```
Serialize *obj* to a JSON formatted [`str`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#str) using this [conversion table](https://docs.python.org/3/library/json.html#py-to-json-table). The arguments have the same meaning as in [`dump()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/json.html#json.dump).

Note

Keys in key/value pairs of JSON are always of the type [`str`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#str). When a dictionary is converted into JSON, all the keys of the dictionary are coerced to strings. As a result of this, if a dictionary is converted into JSON and then back into a dictionary, the dictionary may not equal the original one. That is, `loads(dumps(x)) != x` if x has non-string keys.

[twilit grotto]

and write to file

[shy eagle]

alright !

[upbeat otter]

use a proper db

[primal sail]

json not work ?

[twilit grotto]

its not the best practice to use json as a 'db'

[wanton current]

json isn't a db

[quick gust]

json work but json bad db

[primal sail]

why ?

[primal sail]

what is bad with it

[quick gust]

it's not supposed to store data

[primal sail]

but if that work where is the problems ?

[wanton current]

^

[quick gust]

Read this

[primal sail]

i see

i gonna use db

someone has good tutorial for learn how to use db ?

like sql lite

[wanton current]

https://sqlbolt.com/

that's for sql

[primal sail]

how can i save a list in sql lite ?

i make something like that await cursor.execute("CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS users (id INTEGER, argent INTEGER, prime INTEGER, elo INTEGER, pv INTEGER, fragmentCommun INTEGER, fragmentInhabituel INTEGER, fragmentRare INTEGER, fragmentMystique INTEGER, fragmentDivin INTEGER, personnages TEXT, equipements TEXT)") but i want store more than 1 personnage text value personnage = character in french

and i check and i cant save list

so how can i make ?

[wanton current]

sqlite doesn't support arrays, but you could use something like json and store it as TEXT in your database

[primal sail]

which db can support arrays ?

[white narwhal]

Help me pls

[primal sail]

i think i gonna use replit db

my bot is host in replit so

[white narwhal]

@wanton current

[primal sail]

bro?

[white narwhal]

Help me

[wanton current]

code?

[wanton current]

eg. postgres

[primal sail]

for first say hello, say your problem, stop spam pinging everyone, and show your code

[white narwhal]

i have to give you code?

[wanton current]

look at the example
https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html?highlight=guild bans#discord.Guild.bans

[twilit grotto]

imagine being immature 🫵

indeed i am, i'm from america

?

[primal sail]

someone already use replit db ?

[primal sail]

because im fear i dont have enough memory for store date of all my member

[shy eagle]

yo can i have a minute to solve something real quick

[twilit grotto]

today lol

about an hour or two ago

[shy eagle]

discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: AttributeError: 'Member' object has no attribute 'avatar_url'

[primal sail]

100$ for a breakfast is crazy wth

[twilit grotto]

its super fancy and brand new

im in the keys so

everything is expensive

[shy eagle]

yep works now thanks alot mate !

[wanton current]

nw

[primal sail]

50 MiB is enough for store data (like maybe 50 per user) for like 1k member ?

in a db

[wanton current]

depends on what you're storing

50MiB is quite large for text only

[primal sail]

string and int

[wanton current]

Shouldn't take up that much

[primal sail]

but not so much int

ok thx

[twilit grotto]

do sum bout it

[primal sail]

i can pay 7$ per month for 2go so if i have problem i gonna try that (if my server projet earn me money xd)

[wanton current]

you can get a full fledged VPS with 40GB of storage less than $5 a month

[twilit grotto]

you do realize at certain points in america, the time is different? theres multiple timezones, just like everywhere else in the world.

[primal sail]

its 5pm in france

[primal sail]

i dont need so much

(i think)

[wanton current]

Yeah but paying $7 for 2GB is a scam

[twilit grotto]

^^

[primal sail]

maybe but the db is easy to use and make for my IDE

[wanton current]

Whatever floats your boat

[primal sail]

i dont understand how can i store value for each member
https://youtu.be/Vx5Ci77K-ss

[sturdy egret]

Anyone got any clue how to send a button to a webhook, every time I try I get a value error

[primal sail]

maybe you can use Context Menus (i never use it so dont really know)

[sturdy egret]

I was trying to send it through using webhook.send(etc, etc, etc, view=buttonone())

But it says it needs to have a associated state

[spice warren]

You send a View like that, not a Button

Ah you're trying to use a stateless webhook. If you made the Webhook via url and that Webhook has the token, you can use Webhook.fetch to gain the necessary state:

I forgot to brain

!d g discord.Webhook.fetch

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Webhook.fetch

await fetch(*, prefer_auth=True)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Fetches the current webhook.

This could be used to get a full webhook from a partial webhook.

New in version 2.0.

Note

When fetching with an unauthenticated webhook, i.e. [`is_authenticated()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Webhook.is_authenticated) returns `False`, then the returned webhook does not contain any user information.

[sturdy egret]

So what do I change in my code then? What do I have to do

[spice warren]

The webhook you're calling .send on is not a "full" webhook, it's Partial as the docs above touch on

You can call Webhook.fetch() to update it in place with a Full webhook... which can send Views

[sturdy egret]

okay so

i fetch webhook t

then just do webhook.send(view=button)

[spice warren]

What is button

[sturdy egret]

import discord
from discord import ui



class ButtonSendCode(ui.View):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__(timeout=None)

    @discord.ui.button(label="Send Code", style=discord.ButtonStyle.green, custom_id="persistent:button_one")
    async def button_one(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, button: discord.ui.Button):
        await interaction.response.send_message("hi")

that is button

[spice warren]

Okay cool button is a View

Not a Button, lol

[shy eagle]

yo got another issue 😆

[sturdy egret]

mhm what am i meant to do then

[shy eagle]

when i use the command it doesnt show what its suppose to but just random numbers

[spice warren]

Nothing, you send an instance of this ButtonSendCode view with the view= kwarg

[wanton current]

elaborate? what do you want it to show, and more importantly, what does it actually show?

[sturdy egret]

how does one do that?

[spice warren]

Like uh... this?

[sturdy egret]

ah

i tried that already

noi didnt

[sturdy egret]

ValueError: Webhook views require an associated state with the webhook

the line i used was await webhook.send(view= ButtonSendCode)

[wanton current]

Did you fetch it before (the webhook)?

[sturdy egret]

yea im using webhook= Wbhook.from_url

[spice warren]

You need to fetch that webhook

[wanton current]

https://i.itswilliboy.com/ujrWCMQFka.png https://i.itswilliboy.com/yaupgDAceu.png

[spice warren]

webhook = Webhook.from_url(...)
webhook = await webhook.fetch()
await webhook.send(...)

[sturdy egret]

ahhhh

so

                    await.webhook.fetch()
                    await webhook.send(view= ButtonSendCode)

also what do i need to import

for the fetch

await.webhook.fetch()
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

cause i just get left with that

[spice warren]

Read it again

You can solve this one yourself I bet

[sturdy egret]

...

i dont

wanna talkabout it

[spice warren]

Where did you get await.webhook from?

[hushed galleon]

does it need to be fetched? as far as i can tell, fetch() passes through the connection state to the new webhook anyway
https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/v2.3.2/discord/webhook/async_.py#L1390

[unkempt canyon]

discord/webhook/async_.py line 1390

state=self._state,```

[sturdy egret]

^

[spice warren]

Yes it needs to be fetched
Webhook.from_url has no state at all
sending a View requires state

.fetch() returns a new webhook tho, good catch, i thought it just mutated self

[spice warren]

Read it again, I have not done await.webhook anywhere in that codeblock

[sturdy egret]

oh yea

still same issue

ValueError: Webhook views require an associated state with the webhook

[spice warren]

I just edited the codeblock, sorry, read it again for the new change

[sturdy egret]

ValueError: Webhook views require an associated state with the webhook

                    webhook2 = await webhook.fetch()
                    await webhook2.send(view= ButtonSendCode)

[sturdy egret]

still exact same issue

[hushed galleon]

works fine for me when client= is given

[spice warren]

They are not providing client though

Hence the recommendation to fetch

[hushed galleon]

thats why i mentioned fetch() passing through _state, if the partial webhook is missing it then fetch() won't return it either

[sturdy egret]

so

what should i do from ```
webhook2 = await webhook.fetch()
await webhook2.send(view= ButtonSendCode)

what do i need to do

[spice warren]

Oh now I see what you meant, yeah, you're right

[hushed galleon]

wait so in this case the webhook would be described as both "partial" and "stateful", right?

[spice warren]

yep

a "full" webhook has the underlying webhook user info attached

[sturdy egret]

soooo what do i do?

[spice warren]

webhook = Webhook.from_url("...", client=<your bot>)
await webhook.send(...)

[sturdy egret]

al;ready have a line like that

[spice warren]

client, not session

[sturdy egret]

how do i obtain tat

[spice warren]

it is your bot or client object

[sturdy egret]

?

sorru i dont follow

[spice warren]

y'know where you do like

bot.run() or client.run()? It's that client/bot

[sturdy egret]

wait so bot.run(token)

or no?

bot.run(config.TOKEN, log_handler=None)

[spice warren]

That bot object is what you use, yes

Don7t edit that line at all, that's just the bot i meant

[sturdy egret]

so i just say client = bot

[sturdy egret]

i wont dw

[blissful crane]

pass in the embed to the ModuleButton's init

[copper flume]

which embed

callback embed?

[blissful crane]

yea ig

[scarlet tiger]

you can use an attribute as a reference

[copper flume]

wdym how

the embed is not generator until the button is clicked

[blissful crane]

I am confused on what you want exactly

[scarlet tiger]

do you want to get the embed this function correct?

async def callback(self, interaction: Interaction) -> Any:
        self.embed = discord.Embed(...)
        return await interaction.edit_original_response(
            embed=self.embed, view=self.view
        )```

[copper flume]

I want the self.embed = discord.Embed(...) of ModuleButton

[copper flume]

yeah this embed

[scarlet tiger]

class ModuleButton(discord.ui.Button):
    def __init__(...):
        super().__init__(...)
        self.embed = None # HERE

    async def callback(self, interaction: Interaction) -> Any:
        self.embed = discord.Embed(...)
        return await interaction.edit_original_response(
            embed=self.embed, view=self.view
        )


class HelpPanel(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self, ...):
        super().__init__(...)
    
    @discord.ui.button(...)
    async def ...(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, _):
        view = discord.ui.View(timeout=120)
        for cog in self.bot.help_cogs['main']: # List of cogs
            # Here
            buttton = ModuleButton(...)
            view.add_item(button)

        view.children[0].disabled = True
        return await interaction.response.send_message(
            embed=button.embed,
            view=view,
            ephemeral=True
        )

[copper flume]

basically, When the user clicks the button of HelpPanel, it will send an ephemeral embed with a View

[copper flume]

But isn't self.embed is None until it is clicked?

cause I want the first button to be already clicked

[scarlet tiger]

then predefine the embed there

class ModuleButton(discord.ui.Button):
    def __init__(...):
        super().__init__(...)
        self.embed = Embed(...)

[copper flume]

how will I get interaction there

[scarlet tiger]

what do you mean? Explain what you want to achieve

[copper flume]

this on clicking the Main button

[scarlet tiger]

I mean, do you want to click on the button and have the embed message appear? 🤔

[copper flume]

here, main button is the button in HelpPanel

[copper flume]

when i click on the button of HelpPanel I want it to show the first child's embed

[scarlet tiger]

Then use the reference I gave you in my example. You just need to access the button attribute and then submit it.

[copper flume]

But I cant get access to interaction.user and client there

or is it the best to make the embed manually in HelpPanel's button

[scarlet tiger]

I have a question why do you have another view?

view = discord.ui.View(timeout=120)

use current view

[copper flume]

I want.

[copper flume]

why current

My goal is to have the first child's embed on clicking main button

Leave, I'll not provide the embed there

it will be None.

[scarlet tiger]

It's so simple you just have to add a reference. If you just want to send the embed message just use the attribute.

[copper flume]

what is the 'reference'

And how?

[scarlet tiger]

.

[copper flume]

But I want access to interaction

for author and interaction.client

[scarlet tiger]

You can save interactions in another attribute 🤔

[shy eagle]

[copper flume]

it is member_count

kk

[scarlet tiger]

you use discord.py?

[shy eagle]

yes

why?

[scarlet tiger]

is member_count

[shy eagle]

ty! it works

[shy eagle]

thank you too

[scarlet tiger]

You already confused me, you said you just wanted the buried message.

😅

[copper flume]

I want the embed but the embed requires the interaction.user and interaction.client

[scarlet tiger]

Does the embed have to show interaction information? Like the author, etc.? Correct?

Why did you delete your messages? I can't help you that way.

[left dew]

has anyone had any issues when inviting a discord bot to a server? when i try and click to save unsaved changes to generate a URL it wont save it

[copper flume]

iYes

Yes*

[ancient stump]

created basic giveaway system! i ask for advice or improvements, thank you!

[formal basin]

how to make a slash command only appear for the owner of the bot

[boreal loom]

Add that you can Chose How many People are going to win and that in the Embed is shown How many enterd the giveaway

[rain hedge]

i dont think you can hide it, only limit it

[fast osprey]

The short answer is you can't. Slash commands are deliberately made to be discoverable

[ancient stump]

good idea, thanks

[slate swan]

You Can set command permissions in server but i'm not sure if you Can make it not show up for users

[ancient stump]

i dont think so, but you can set permissions

[formal basin]

you can hide it from users that dont have certain permissions

[slate swan]

1. Dont use json as database
2. You could make it only allow certain roles to join giveaway when specified on creation
3. Show how many users are already in in the embed
4. A bit harder but could make some multipliers for specified roles

[slate swan]

Ic

[formal basin]

So how could I send a modal using a regular command?

[ancient stump]

thank you, which database system should I use?

[hushed galleon]

interactions from message components (views) can respond with modals, so thats your best option

[ancient stump]

modals only interact with interactions logic, dont they?

[slate swan]

If you know SQL use some SQL database if you dont use mongodb but best is to learn sql

For example postgres but if you dont want to set it up and stuff you Can use sqlite for example which just requires a file like database.db

you can ask in #databases if you have related questions

[boreal loom]

no, let my bot send a message in a voice channel, like the voicemanster or astro bot do

[formal basin]

FFmpeg

[hushed galleon]

by default dpy will parse quoted strings, so given a command like: py @bot.command() async def cmd(ctx, arg1: str, arg2: str): ... you can pass both argumesnts as !cmd "Hello there" "hi there"

[ancient stump]

ohh, do you mean the text channel that every voice channel has? Or what exactly do you mean?

[slim bloom]

yes, the text channel that each voice channel has

[formal basin]

thanks

[hushed galleon]

if you want one argument to take the entire string without needing quotes, you can make it a keyword-only argument with a leading star: py @bot.command() async def cmd(ctx, arg1: str, *, arg2: str): ... !cmd "Hello there" hi there would then be equivalent to the first example

[ancient stump]

just get the ID from the voice channel. lemme check docs

[slim bloom]

[hushed galleon]

it works like a regular text channel, right?

!d discord.VoiceChannel.send

[unkempt canyon]

discord.VoiceChannel.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.

The content must be a type that can convert to a string through `str(content)`. If the content is set to `None` (the default), then the `embed` parameter must be provided.

To upload a single file, the `file` parameter should be used with a single [`File`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.File) object. To upload multiple files, the `files` parameter should be used with a [`list`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#list) of [`File`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.File) objects. **Specifying both parameters will lead to an exception**.

To upload a single embed, the `embed` parameter should be used with a single [`Embed`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Embed) object. To upload multiple embeds, the `embeds` parameter should be used with a [`list`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#list) of [`Embed`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Embed) objects. **Specifying both parameters will lead to an exception**.

[ancient stump]

@slim bloom should work

[ancient stump]

voice_channel_id = 1245797706589278280 ###PUT HERE THE VOICECHANNEL ID

voice_channel = ctx.guild.get_channel(voice_channel_id)

await voice_channel.send("Test")

i just tried it, it works!
i would try this template if you are not familiar with Python.

[slim bloom]

if isinstance(channel, discord.VoiceChannel):
            ctx.guild.get_channel(channel)
            await channel.send(content='You have been added to the voice channel, welcome')```

alrr

[worn valve]

This doesn’t work and idk why :(

    message = ' '.join(map(str, args))
    channel = bot.get_channel(modmail_channel)

    if channel:
        embed = nextcord.Embed(
            title="**Mod Mail**",
            description=message,
            color=nextcord.Color.purple()
        )
        bot.loop.create_task(channel.send(embed=embed))

@bot.event
async def on_message(message):
    if message.guild is None:
        member = target_guild.get_member(message.author.id)
        if member:
            log(f"DM from **<@{message.author.id}>**: \n\n{message.content}") ```

It worked like 2 hours ago but now it doesn’t work and I didn’t change anything

[ancient stump]

hmm, try it first

[ancient stump]

no errors?

[worn valve]

No

Just doesn’t work

I have a log thing which has the def as the EXACT same but different name and channel

I tried to print after

@bot.event
async def on_message(message):

And it didn’t work

[ancient stump]

hm

[worn valve]

I also tried to log it as the exact same thing but “Log” instead of “Mod Mail” and it didn’t work

And log works normally

[ancient stump]

add a error handling/prints

[worn valve]

So smth to do with this part of the code:

async def on_message(message):
    if message.guild is None:
        member = target_guild.get_member(message.author.id)
        if member:
            modmail(f"DM from **<@{message.author.id}>**: \n\n{message.content}") ```

Wait ima try smth

[summer carbon]

@vocal magnet can I have permission to screen share?

[worn valve]

Also the ‘log’ is where I was testing it, it usually would be modmail

[worn valve]

Found the issue, I had 2 on_message events

[ancient stump]

[slim bloom]

How do I cool down the server? prefix command

[twilit grotto]

yep that could do it

[upbeat otter]

!d discord.ext.commands.cooldown

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.cooldown

@discord.ext.commands.cooldown(rate, per, type=discord.ext.commands.BucketType.default)```
A decorator that adds a cooldown to a [`Command`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Command)

A cooldown allows a command to only be used a specific amount of times in a specific time frame. These cooldowns can be based either on a per-guild, per-channel, per-user, per-role or global basis. Denoted by the third argument of `type` which must be of enum type [`BucketType`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.BucketType).

If a cooldown is triggered, then [`CommandOnCooldown`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.CommandOnCooldown) is triggered in [`on_command_error()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.discord.ext.commands.on_command_error) and the local error handler.

A command can only have a single cooldown.

[glad marsh]

Why does this only work with bot.event and not with bot.listen()

@bot.listen()
async def on_message_2(message):
    if message.author.bot:
        return
    if message.channel.id == 1245101494689333340:
        try:
            await asyncio.sleep(1)
            await message.add_reaction('⭐')
            await asyncio.sleep(1)
            await message.add_reaction('⚠️')
        except Exception as e:
            print(f'Error adding reaction: {e}')```

does on_message_2 have something to do with it

[finite salmon]

There is no such event called on_message_2

[glad marsh]

How can i have several events?

on_message events

[finite salmon]

@bot.listen("on_message")

[glad marsh]

Yah, just read the docs

very stupid of me 💀

a simple and practical ticket system, does anyone have suggestions or ideas for improvement? thanks!

I strongly suggest you don't make channels for tickets. There's a ton of limitations and this is what discord made threads for basically

thank you, it took me almost a day. i didnt know exactly how to create the transcript system. i put the channel history in embed. but embeds have restrictions when it comes to words. i will use this to convert blocks.

[fast osprey]

The nice thing about threads is you really don't need a transcript. You just archive it

Incredibly smooth ux, just add people to the thread if you want it private then archive it when it's done

[fast osprey]

You're missing a closing )

[ancient stump]

i will remember that, thank you

[hushed galleon]

huh, i checked my test bot's ratelimits and it showed 2000/1d for channel creates (shared bucket between guilds), and 1000/0.01s for deletes - thought the create limit would be much lower, but i guess you have max guild channel caps too

[fast osprey]

iirc that's one that they actually tend to vary between bots. The bot level rate limit tends to come into play less than the per guild max usually with these systems though

[hushed galleon]

oh wait i think i misunderstood the bucket key, the ratelimits are still localized by top-level resources

looks like thread creates is 50/300s for me

and thats what, 1000 active threads max per guild vs 250 text channels?

does anyone know how i can connect my discord bot to a website? like most famous bots where you can change the settings and setups on the website. i know you need HTML but what else? and do you have any good DOCS to start with?

[wanton current]

There aren't really any "docs" for making a Discord bot web dashboard, but you'd have to be familiar with web development, as well with databases probably, and also finding a way to communicate things between your bot and your web dashboard. As well as things like OAuth2, and the list goes on.

It's definitely not an easy task.

[formal basin]

@slate swan, Like this?

[slate swan]

no

I mean Can you still respond with a modal if you already sent text

[formal basin]

no text has been sent

[fierce plaza]

Is there a built in function for grabbing a users name?

i would like to have it printed in the logs when someone does a command

      guild = bot.get_guild(your-guild-id)
      channel = guild.get_channel(the-channel-id-you-want-the-logs-in)
      await channel.send(f'{command.name} command used by {interaction.user}({interaction.user.id}) in ``{interaction.guild.name}``')
      print(f'{command.name} command used by {interaction.user}({interaction.user.id}) in ``{interaction.guild.name}``')
    ```  

Got a template for you

oh you want it printed

wait one sec

[fierce plaza]

i mean

just in the terminal

so if i can get it to a variable its good

[formal basin]

@bot.event
async def on_app_command_completion(interaction: discord.Interaction, command: discord.app_commands.Command):
           print(f'{command.name} command used by {interaction.user}({interaction.user.id}) in ``{interaction.guild.name}``')

like that

[fierce plaza]

and i just put on_app_command_completion() at the end of my commands?

[formal basin]

no

[fierce plaza]

oh wait its an event

[formal basin]

its an event

[fierce plaza]

yeah

i wonder if i can just plug that in and itll work?

[formal basin]

the event i sent

?

[fierce plaza]

yeah

yeah it will

just put it anywhere

i use it myself

[lost root]

Guys, can anyone tell me how to transfer money via a slash command for an economic discord bot, I am writing a bot in python but disnake.py

[fierce plaza]

so what about this... im running the bot using a .service file. Something i just learned about the other day. So i cant directly see the logs

what do i have to do to have a terminal that monitors the logs and can recieve print commands?

[fierce plaza]

do you have a database?

[lost root]

ye ye

have database have

[fierce plaza]

i assume it would just be some fancy SQL then, no?

[lost root]

SQlite3

[formal basin]

so you dont have a terminal?

[fierce plaza]

i do have a terminal

but what i dont have is one that actively monitors the bot

it just runs in the background

[lost root]

.

I need to figure out how to make a command using a slash

to transfer currency on the server, I need a code

[formal basin]

The thing is how is it working on vscode and not on my host

[formal basin]

also no, you cant

[lost root]

guuys?

someone tell me how to do this?

[formal basin]

idk SQL

only redis

[lost root]

hmm

its problem

[ancient stump]

to do what?

[lost root]

I need to figure out how to make a command using a slash
to transfer currency on the server, I need a code

[slate swan]

What you tried so far?

[lost root]

I don’t know how to write in code the transfer of money to the user in an economic bot using a slash command

[slate swan]

Then learn how to, nobody is going to write code for you here

[lost root]

I'm asking if someone can explain to me how to write it correctly?

I tried to rewrite it many times, look at the forums and didn’t find anything.

[slate swan]

You just said you dont know how to code

[formal basin]

Also I tried to defer it and

discord.app_commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command 'verify-email' raised an exception: InteractionResponded: This interaction has already been responded to before

[slate swan]

If you defer you cant send a modal

[ancient stump]

you wont find anyone here who will make you codes, unless there is a private payment for helping outside the server (i dont know if that violates rule nr 9) you have to learn to code yourself like everyone else here. we can help you correct your mistakes but we cant make them for you! @lost root

[lost root]

I know how to program, I just don’t know how to write a transfer of money to a user using a slash command

[ancient stump]

are you using cogs?

[slate swan]

What do cogs have to do here 💀

[lost root]

yea

[formal basin]

what else can i do?

Its just confusing that it is working on vscode, but not my host

[slate swan]

Then maybe show some code, how you store the data, what you tried etc

[slate swan]

Idk its weird

You Can Ask on dpy discord

[ancient stump]

if he uses cogs i recommend using app_commands or hybrid, otherwise in main.py, bot.tree would be sufficient https://fallendeity.github.io/discord.py-masterclass/slash-commands/

[formal basin]

whats that?

[slate swan]

discord.gg/dpy

[slate swan]

I dont see how that affects this

But sure

[ancient stump]

@lost root

[ancient stump]

what exactly is your problem/error?

i advised you sum hrs bevor, to contact your host, often it is due to missing packages

[formal basin]

what packages is missing

[ancient stump]

that is a guess. as i said, contact your hoster

[formal basin]

ok

[fierce plaza]

is it safe to hardcode API keys into my discord bot?

idk if someone is able to yoink them or not

!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.

[red sparrow]

ye but where do i put it how do i do it?\

[shrewd apex]

for the client

[red sparrow]

ive done this now what do i put in the brackets?

or whatever its called

[shrewd apex]

discord.Client(intents=...)

[shrewd apex]

its wrong

did u even read the contents of the embed

[red sparrow]

i dont know shit about python its from a tutorial

[shrewd apex]

then i would recommend learning some python before attempting discord bots, discord bots arent exactly a beginner friendly project

[red sparrow]

is there a good tutorial atleast?

discord.Intents

!d discord.Intents

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Intents

class discord.Intents(value=0, **kwargs)```
Wraps up a Discord gateway intent flag.

Similar to [`Permissions`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Permissions), the properties provided are two way. You can set and retrieve individual bits using the properties as if they were regular bools.

To construct an object you can pass keyword arguments denoting the flags to enable or disable.

This is used to disable certain gateway features that are unnecessary to run your bot. To make use of this, it is passed to the `intents` keyword argument of [`Client`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Client).

New in version 1.5.

[wispy falcon]

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

The output just says
AttributeError: module 'discord.ext.commands' has no attribute 'bot'

it used to work but now it doesnt

[upbeat otter]

commands.Bot

[wispy falcon]

Says the same thing

nvm it works. i just uninstalled discord.py and installed it back

should i switch from discord.py to pycord?

what library is easier or better?

[patent hull]

discord.py has everything py-cord does

py-cord was created when Danny, the mantainer of discord.py, announced that discord.py's development stopped

but it also, Danny, resumed the development of discord.py

Now, both libraries are great, but none of them are easy.

And I also guess that discord.py would be a better choice 🤷

that is a subjective opinion.

[scarlet tiger]

I tried both libraries, pycord is easier to use on some things. How to create forward slash commands. And your Guide is better documented for beginners.

[wanton current]

Use whatever you like

[scarlet tiger]

Yes, it is subjective, for me it is easier pycord but for others it is discord.py.

[wispy falcon]

alright

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'discord_slash'```

was trying to add slash commands and got this error

[hushed galleon]

discord-py-slash-command is a couple years outdated and had published a massive rewrite before it stopped receiving updates, hence why that module can't be imported

[shy eagle]

so i can't add slash commands?

[hushed galleon]

i suggest using discord.py's built-in slash commands instead, or a fork like disnake

if you really want to stick with the same maintainer of discord-py-slash-command, interactions.py is their new package

[shy eagle]

and where exactly do i find that

ergh, unfortunately the dpy docs dont have a first-party guide to it so you'll have to look to third party guides and the examples on the repository

*there's a guide in the works

[hushed galleon]

the interactions api reference is still good though
https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/interactions/api.html#decorators

[hushed galleon]

referring to Rapptz/discord.py#7654?

[lament depot]

GitHub

[discord.py] #7654 The discord.py Guide

[shy eagle]

ok, the thing is im on replit ..

because its much more easier for me

i dont wanna download too many files

[hushed galleon]

you already had discord.py installed in order to use discord-py-slash-command

if its v2.0 or above, that means you have native slash command support already

[shy eagle]

oh

but then why do i have this error

[wanton current]

yea

[hushed galleon]

you mean the discord_slash error? because of my first message, discord-py-slash-command published a massive rewrite and then stopped being maintained

don't use it if you have d.py 2.0+, disnake, etc.

[shy eagle]

ok well i do have d.py 2.0

so then what should i use?

[hushed galleon]

^ check out these guides/examples of using discord.py's slash commands

[shy eagle]

kk

[scarlet tiger]

oh use pycord which has the slash commands already built in and no additional installations.

[wanton current]

discord.py does too

[scarlet tiger]

I didn't know, when I used it I had to use external packages and it was difficult.

[shy eagle]

ill try to stick with discord.py

thing is gonna have to write the whole code from scratch 😅

just to add slash commands

but i believe its worth it

[hushed galleon]

2.0 came out a couple years ago with its own slash command implementation, so you might want to re-look into it

[scarlet tiger]

yes, thanks for the information

[hushed galleon]

some devs find the new commandtree stuff complicated, but imo i like how the implementation is separated into its own subpackage

[upbeat otter]

yeah it's a lot more clean and easier to manage

[hushed galleon]

unrelated question, i'm trying to figure out which active threads in a channel have a specific user in them to limit the number of threads a user can request, is there any detailed documentation on how thread members are cached by discord.py? or i guess how thread events work in general? i'm messing with it right now and it seems extremely finicky, just to name a few quirks:

• on startup, thread.members is empty until new members join the thread
• when creating a thread, the owner isn't included in thread.members
• when joining a thread, thread.members is wiped and doesn't get re-populated, only updating for new members joining
• when leaving a private thread, the thread isn't evicted from cache unless the bot has manage threads perm
  official api docs don't seem to cover this, and i'd rather not spam .fetch_members() on a channel's active threads

[pine veldt]

Hy someone here, I am looking for a discord bot dev to work with me as partner

[shy eagle]

so im testing the slash commands and i got a few bugs/errors ill show one of them for now and the rest later on

discord.app_commands.errors.TransformerError: Failed to convert giannakis.og to Member```

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/USCA

heres the code btw

[hushed galleon]

if the member's been banned from the guild, you won't be able to get a member object for them

though that particular error would suggest you didn't sync your command, which would have made the option show a member list and prevent you from inputting an invalid member

[shy eagle]

gotten alot of errors from almost commands ive made so far

since i tried making them slash commands

would you like me to send the whole code of the test bot for you to see what i should fix up?

too many problems that need to be solved i need serious help 😂

[hushed galleon]

• embed() since your color argument is a string, if color == 0x8300FF: will never be true
  • you can pass a string to discord.Color.from_str() to convert strings into a color object that Embed can handle
• clear() channel.purge() can take a few seconds to return and might exceed the 3s timeout for interaction responses, making your command appear to fail
  • i suggest you use interaction.response.defer() before purging to avoid the timeout, and then interaction.followup.send() after purging is done
• kick() should have a permissions check of some form, like @app_commands.default_permissions(kick_members=True), to prevent abuse
• ban() same as above
• unban() : discord.user should be : discord.User, but discord only shows users in the current guild anyway so this won't be useful
  • the best you can do is accept a string and loop through guild.bans() to find a name or user ID that matches their input, then use guild.unban()
• mute() member.mute() isn't a valid method, you're looking for member.timeout()
• unmute() same as above
• help() commands usually aren't needed for slash commands since users can already see all slash commands at once
• feedback() channel.send_message() isn't a valid method, should be .send()

[shy eagle]

what exactly do i replace in unban with what you told me

because i didnt quite understand

[wanton current]

Alternatively on unban you can do await guild.unban(discord.Object(user_id))

[shy eagle]

alr

[wanton current]

if u wanna unban by username though, you'd have to loop through the bans like in the message above

[shy eagle]

no i wanna unban by the id

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/ZTYA

this command i just made also doesnt work

[wanton current]

What doesn't work specifically?

[shy eagle]

my whois command

[shy eagle]

^

[wanton current]

Yes, but what in it?

[shy eagle]

one sec

[wanton current]

You need to do url=member.avatar.url insetad instead of member.avatar

[shy eagle]

should i just import the rest of the commands i have and then send the code to check whats wrong one by one?

[hushed galleon]

looking at source, set_thumbnail() casts the Asset to str() which returns the url, so other than it potentially being None it should work

[wanton current]

may be

[slate swan]

async def jjk_fight():
    payload["content"] = "jjk fight"
    requests.post(url, payload, headers=header)
    time.sleep(10)

asyncio.run(jjk_fight())

I want to execute this every 10s, why its showing me
RuntimeWarning: Enable tracemalloc to get the object allocation traceback

[wanton current]

full traceback?

also what's the point of having an async function if you're not doing anything async inside of it

[shy eagle]

                             ^^^^^^^^^^

anything i should change here?

[fast osprey]

I really suggest not making commands that are thin wrappers over simple operations that are already available in the client. You're effectively degrading the security and auditing of them

[shy eagle]

so i should keep a simple prefix?

[shy eagle]

@hushed galleon ?

sorry for the ping btw

wili maybe?

@wanton current

[inner glade]

Permissions and logging

[shy eagle]

ill add permissions later on

trying to see why most of the commands wont do as they are tol

told*

[inner glade]

Which ones?

[shy eagle]

Well i ahve sent the link and i would recommend check them all because there might be mistakes i might have not noticed

[hushed galleon]

well er, a few of them call methods that don't exist like channel.create(), role.create(), and interaction.send_message()

if you're able to, you should try out an IDE with type checking support since they can tell you about non-existent methods or improper usage of parameters without having to test your code manually

vscode's pylance extension has an optional type checking setting you can turn on:

[shy eagle]

Ia that possible on replit?

Also what exactly do i replace in the code

[hollow kraken]

The problem is that, some functions i call right after the function that i need to be waited on, have some information that is required from the previous function leading to a critical error because thie first function starts then the second function starts

[vapid parcel]

The Verify command that is in the rework has the arguments of:

channel
log_channel
role
role2
remove_role

You can see in the screenshot which each one does, should I keep the max of 2 roles? Or do you think other servers would have a verification system that might need more than 2 roles needed for a person..?

[pale zenith]

Make it more configurable, perhaps make it summon a view instead?
Also, the following is valid and would reduce bloat:-

@app_commands.describe(
     arg1=...,
     arg2=...,
     etc...
)

[vapid parcel]

I knew you could do it that way, but I just never changed it lol

Yeah its a bad practice ik xD

[pale zenith]

Fair

Not “bad” per se but that's just ugly looking being 3x the size

[vapid parcel]

Well yeah

I guess I could refactor all my commands to do it that way

Would be "better" in a sense lol. But what type of view are you thinking?

[fast osprey]

docstrings >>>>

[vapid parcel]

You can't use docstrings to describe an argument...?

[fast osprey]

You can

[vapid parcel]

You can??

Didn't know that, mb lol

I use docstrings to describe the commands only n show usage n examples.

[pale zenith]

You need a valid docstring format

Dpy supports uhhhhh

checks source

[vapid parcel]

😭

[vapid parcel]

ah okay then

thats cool didn't know dpy did that for arguments lol

[golden portal]

you need to be more specific here, there are a lot of way to do what you're trying to do

[vapid parcel]

Is there a channel where I can get ideas for my bot?

[hollow kraken]

i am using image embeds on all embeds, in the configuration command for my bot the set_icon function is called first before all other functions which are using image embeds, the set icon function is called using await set_icon(ctx) and i have some functions beneath it but before the icon can be set the functions below it are called (and since the icon is stored as a variable which is currently None) is returning an error

the logs are also working. just that none of my commands or events will work besides this event. please ping or dm me if you can help.

[hushed galleon]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/faq.html#why-does-on-message-make-my-commands-stop-working
@client.event will override any on_message event that comes before it and requires you to call await client.process_commands(message) for it to handle commands normally

i would go with the @client.listen("on_message") decorator instead cause it doesn't have those same gotchas

[hushed galleon]

i spent a couple days writing up a bot to try out these thread-style tickets, setting it up is a bit janky but i think overall it looks neat

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Permissions

class discord.Permissions(permissions=0, **kwargs)```
Wraps up the Discord permission value.

The properties provided are two way. You can set and retrieve individual bits using the properties as if they were regular bools. This allows you to edit permissions.

Changed in version 1.3: You can now use keyword arguments to initialize [`Permissions`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Permissions) similar to [`update()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Permissions.update).

Go through them

Then see if one is related to timing out (the description, not necessarily the attribute name itself)

[solid pecan]

can somebody explain how to use cogs?

await bot.load_extension("cogs.super_cog")
what does this do?

[quick gust]

loads a cog

[solid pecan]

"cogs.super_cog" this is its position in a folder right?

cogs is the name of the folder and super_cog is the name of the python file?

[fast osprey]

That does not load a cog. That loads an extension. That's literally the method name

These are two entirely separate concepts

load_extension will load an extension based on module name. This is distinct from path or file name

[quick gust]

ah okay, bold of me to assume their extension file had a cog

[fast osprey]

It's important to call out this distinction so people don't use the terms interchangeably, since they're not

[quick gust]

thanks for the tip :)

anyone know why only the next page button works

[wanton current]

because you're overwriting the first function with the second one by naming them the same thing

[chilly cloud]

oh I forgot to change the name 🤦

oh also, I currently have 1 database for storing information on guild currency and shop stuff, if I want to make an inventory system, it is advices to start a new database, or to just make a new table?

[wanton current]

table

[chilly cloud]

alr bet

[shy eagle]

whats the right name for this error? raise TypeError(f'{key!r} is not a valid permission name.') TypeError: 'manage_server' is not a valid permission name.

[wanton current]

manage_guild

[shy eagle]

alr thanks

how is this even possible? ``` @app.commands.default_permissions(manage_channels=True)
NameError: name 'app' is not defined

it works perfectly in other commands

[wanton current]

app_commands instead of app.commands

[shy eagle]

shoot

[wanton current]

lol

[shy eagle]

think ive got more errors coming soon

[wanton current]

dw

these slash commands are a great feature but a pain in my ....

here's another errordiscord.app_commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command 'addrole' raised an exception: AttributeError: 'Interaction' object has no attribute 'send_message'

[shy eagle]

it actually works to be honest

idk i just thought of it

[slate swan]

yea it will only "lock" the channel that the command was sent in not all of the channels

i hope you are aware of this

not so hard to see that lock is the same as lockall and unlock is the same as unlockall

just the messages sent differ

[shy eagle]

yeah nvm it doesnt work for all channels 😅 yeah you have a point

my bad i thought it actually worked.

[left dew]

after the developer portal update i cant find out how to add my bot to my server. when i try and select a guild install it wont let me save changes and keeps saying Private application cannot have a default authorisation link

[slate swan]

either make it public or generate one time oauth url

https://fallendeity.github.io/discord.py-masterclass/#adding-the-bot-to-a-server

[left dew]

i did try and generate a ont time auth url but when i put the link in my browser i get the error installation type not supported for this application

[shy eagle]

when i try to unban a user it gave me this error discord.app_commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command 'unban' raised an exception: NameError: name 'guild' is not defined

[slate swan]

tbh i just went on discord dev portal

and its my first time seeing this installation so

but the oauth2 tab looks unchanged

do you have to do something in installation tho

[shy eagle]

it is a good feature though instead of just typing the command to invite, you go to it's profile to do so

[slate swan]

wasnt that a thing before?

[left dew]

i dont have a clue ive been trying all types of stuff but nothing works

[slate swan]

i had the invite button in bio for a year now in my bot

[slate swan]

try the link i sent

[shy eagle]

well i discovered it a week ago

[left dew]

its different to the dev portal now

[shy eagle]

😂

[slate swan]

like i said oauth2 tab looks the same

[shy eagle]

anyone?

[slate swan]

you generate the url paste it in the browser and select guild where to add to

[left dew]

i tried that but it says installation type not supported for this application

[slate swan]

how does your installation tab look like

[slate swan]

you dont define guild?

[slate swan]

set it to None

and use OAuth2 tab

[left dew]

thanks that worked

[shy eagle]

?

didnt get that.

how is it supposed to know what guild is you never told it

same with the user_id ?

you never defined this

[shy eagle]

so what exactly do i type to define them

[slate swan]

💀

you prolly want interaction.guild :)

[shy eagle]

k

let me see

nice it worked!

heya got another issue

async def avatar(interaction: discord.Interaction, member: discord.Member):
  embed = discord.Embed(title=f"{member.name}'s Avatar", color=0x8300FF)
  embed.set_image(url=member.avatar)
  await interaction.response.send_message(embed=embed)```

so its not sending the image and its sending only the embed

discord.app_commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command 'avatar' raised an exception: AttributeError: 'Interaction' object has no attribute 'send_message'

[fast osprey]

And what's the traceback? It should have your own code in it

[chilly cloud]

try member.display_avatar, that one worked for me

also, anyone know how to format an embed in columns of 2

[timber dragon]

add_field has an inline kwarg

You can mess with that

If you can still add an empty field by setting the name and value to \u200b

[chilly cloud]

ik but, when I make it so that odd numbers are inline=True, and even are inline=False, it just gives me a straight line

        if number % 4 == 0 and number != 0:
            pages.append(new_page)
            new_page = discord.Embed(title=name, description=description)
            new_page.add_field(name=f"{item_dict['item_name']}: ${item_dict['item_price']}",
                               value=f"{item_dict['item_description']} (Stock: {item_dict['item_quantity']})")
        elif number % 2 != 0:
            new_page.add_field(name=f"{item_dict['item_name']}: ${item_dict['item_price']}",
                               value=f"{item_dict['item_description']} (Stock: {item_dict['item_quantity']})", inline=True)
        else:
            new_page.add_field(name=f"{item_dict['item_name']}: ${item_dict['item_price']}",
                               value=f"{item_dict['item_description']} (Stock: {item_dict['item_quantity']})", inline=False)```

I get something like this

[shy eagle]

what do i replace

[chilly cloud]

mine just looks like this

@tree.command(name="avatar", description="Get a user's avatar")
@app_commands.describe(member='member')
async def avatar(interaction: discord.Interaction, member: discord.Member = None):
    if member:
        await interaction.response.send_message(member.display_avatar)
        return
    await interaction.response.send_message(interaction.user.display_avatar)```

[timber dragon]

member = member or interaction.user
await interaction.response.send_message(member.display_avatar.url)

works too

[timber dragon]

that's why I said #discord-bots message

# first line
add_field(), add_field()
# fake third field for first row
add_field(name="\u200b", value="\u200b", inline=True)
# second line
add_field(), add_field()

iirc

[shy eagle]

thing is i want it to be an embed

I made a discord bot based on a multimodal language model
But I'm not doing very well yet

[hushed galleon]

as long as it doesn't fall under advertising or another rule, that should be fine

[tardy pollen]

Is posting a github link here considered advertising?

[wanton current]

just posting a github link?

[tardy pollen]

ya

[wanton current]

nothing else?

[tardy pollen]

Then ask for advice

[hushed galleon]

imo i would think it's advertising if it's sent without context or trying to promote the usage of some project

[wanton current]

think that's fine

[tardy pollen]

ok

Is there any way other than changing the IP so that the discord robot can play YouTube music normally?

I currently use lavalink

[shrewd apex]

!ytdl cant help with that here sorry

yo guys, im making an inventory system where people can buy stuff. I currenly have a database for currency handling and shop info, it is better to create a seperate database, or make a new table to store inventory info?

[pale zenith]

One database, many tables. That's how it should be

#databases might be better fit for this however

[chilly cloud]

bet bet, was a lil too worried if my database might get overloaded or something

[pale zenith]

Nah

If you're at a point where your database is getting overloaded you have bigger problems

[chilly cloud]

bruh, how am I being rate limited 😭

[snow coral]

can you make certain users immune to @commands.cooldown(commands_per_cooldown, cooldown_seconds, commands.BucketType.user)

[hushed galleon]

if you're using discord.py, you'll need a dynamic cooldown instead

!d discord.ext.commands.dynamic_cooldown

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.dynamic\_cooldown

@discord.ext.commands.dynamic_cooldown(cooldown, type)```
A decorator that adds a dynamic cooldown to a [`Command`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Command)

This differs from [`cooldown()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.cooldown) in that it takes a function that accepts a single parameter of type [`Context`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Context) and must return a [`Cooldown`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.Cooldown) or `None`. If `None` is returned then that cooldown is effectively bypassed.

A cooldown allows a command to only be used a specific amount of times in a specific time frame. These cooldowns can be based either on a per-guild, per-channel, per-user, per-role or global basis. Denoted by the third argument of `type` which must be of enum type [`BucketType`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.BucketType).

If a cooldown is triggered, then [`CommandOnCooldown`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.CommandOnCooldown) is triggered in [`on_command_error()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.discord.ext.commands.on_command_error) and the local error handler.

A command can only have a single cooldown.

New in version 2.0.

[hushed galleon]

ah, dpy forks have the same deco too

[simple prawn]

hii i need help for discord dev portal

[wanton current]

what do you need help with?

[simple prawn]

how can i get the url of my app bot?

[wanton current]

to invite?

[simple prawn]

yeah

[wanton current]

Go to the OAuth2 tab and scroll down to the "OAuth2 URL Generator", and then click the "bot" checkbox (and "application.commands" if your bot uses slash commands), and then select the permissions the new box that comes up when you select "bot".

and then the generated url is at the bottom

[simple prawn]

but to copy link it tells me "pls enter a uri link."

@wanton current

[wanton current]

Turn off this in your Bot settings

[simple prawn]

ok and i can't turn it on???

[wanton current]

It's probably not needed for what you're trying to do

[simple prawn]

hehe, tysm

[wanton current]

nw

[chilly cloud]

yo guys, whats a good way to log what discord commands were used? Im currently using a discord webhook but im not sure if thats a good way

[cosmic spoke]

Anyone wanna make a anime boy

Bot

[wanton current]

why are you logging them

[chilly cloud]

currently only me and a few people are testing the bot rn before we start seriously testing it, I wanna use it to see if commands used match up with data changed in the database, helped me catch some bugs quite a few times

[cosmic spoke]

Heheheheeh

Anyone working on a anime bot? Thank

[flat pier]

i'd recommend a db and a command that paginates through them rather than a webhook, that way you can see them wherever (in dms, another server, etc) and then just store the relevant info in a table made for ran commands

[chilly cloud]

ooh thats a good way prolly, ty

[wanton current]

what does an anime bot do

[fast osprey]

Is there any way to handle all errors instead of using Forbidden or HTTPException?

I want to use try-except for async for msg in message.channel.history(limit=1, before=message):

[fading marlin]

Exception?

Though be careful with that one, it quite literally catches all errors

There's also DiscordException, which is for all exceptions of the library

[young dagger]

What is the different between Exception and discord.DiscordException?

[wanton current]

The former is any exception in python and the latter is a base exception for the disord.py (or fork) lib

[young dagger]

What else exception could there be?

[young dagger]

I get that

[fading marlin]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html#exceptions

[wanton current]

see the hierarchy at the bottom

[young dagger]

Is it necessary to use pass to execute remaining code after the exception?

Or will it just raise the error and execute the rest of the code?

[wanton current]

code?

[young dagger]

            try:
                async for msg in message.channel.history(limit=1, before=message):
            except discord.Forbidden:
                print(
                    f"Missing permissions to fetch message history.")
            except discord.HTTPException as e:
                print(f"HTTP error while fetching message history.")

            print("I want to execute this code after the try-except.")```

[wanton current]

yeah, as long as you don't raise or return inside the except, it will continue running

[young dagger]

Why have I seen people use pass after each exception then?

Just a habit?

[wanton current]

since

except:
    
print("hi")
```Is invalid in python

if u wanna do nothing in case of an exception

you need something in the clause

[young dagger]

No no, they still print an error message and pass

[wanton current]

there's no reason to pass then

it's the equivalent of:

.catch({})

// or

try {
    // abc
} catch {
    // doing nothing
}

in js

[young dagger]

Is there any way to retry the try-except in case an exception was raised?

[wanton current]

wdym?

[unkempt canyon]

:incoming_envelope: :ok_hand: applied timeout to @tawny hull until <t:1717538183:f> (10 minutes) (reason: duplicates spam - sent 4 duplicate messages).

The <@&831776746206265384> have been alerted for review.

[young dagger]

Let's say we try to fetch the message with async for msg in message.channel.history(limit=1, before=message): and we get a discord.HTTPException error. How can we retry fetching the message again after 10 seconds?

[wanton current]

like

async def fetch_msg(..., message: discord.Message) -> Optional[discord.Message]:
    msg = [i async for i in message.channel.history(limit=1, before=message)]
    return msg[0]

async def f():
    msg = None
    while not msg:  # should probably set some timeout so it stops eventually, after x retries, or x seconds
        try:
            msg = await fetch_msg(...)
        except discord.HTTPException:
            pass

probably something like this im not sure

[young dagger]

Feels like there should be an easier way

    for i in range(0, 10):
        try:
            async for msg in message.channel.history(limit=1, before=message):
            break
        except discord.Forbidden:
            print(f"Missing permissions to fetch message history. Sleeping for 60 secs before next try.")
            await asyncio.sleep(60)
            continue
        except discord.HTTPException as e:
            print(f"HTTP error while fetching message history. Sleeping for 60 secs before next try.")
            await asyncio.sleep(60)
            continue

[wanton current]

def don't use time.sleep

[young dagger]

My bad

[young dagger]

Better now?

[wanton current]

this would break on the first iteration

you'd probably want to break inside the try: clause

[young dagger]

There we go
