[hearty basalt]

seeing as he's defining vouches as a dictionary

im only sayin from experience, ive never used a database before lol

[fast osprey]

You should not use just a json file

Unless you're keen on poor performance and having your data randomly corrupted

[hearty basalt]

ite

ty for explaining

[quick gust]

just use a file based database if u dont wanna put that much effort

[fast osprey]

sqlite is super fast to spin up and use if you know sql basics

[quick gust]

yeah no credentials stuff

I like to use it for small scale bots

[fast osprey]

SQLite scales incredibly well, it's less about scale and more about whether or not you need a server client model

[timber dragon]

Like that's a good thing lol

[quick gust]

it's pretty much unnecessary for file based dbs no?

[quick gust]

ah

[fast osprey]

Not sure what you mean by "file based", or what you think is going on under the hood with things like Postgres

(Files)

[quick gust]

.db files

[fast osprey]

Anywho probably a better convo for #databases

why this bot dont wanna send deal amount after incorrect

[upbeat otter]

where exactly is the error

and what's the error or where does the code stop running

[wet talon]

when the user clicks incorrect, the bot deletes the messages but does not resend the deal amount request

[wet talon]

There isn't

[upbeat otter]

it doesnt send the embed and the view?

[wet talon]

yes

[fast osprey]

[slate crest]

right thank you love you, havent done this in a long time

[slate crest]

hey you know what i managed to go around it, turns you can invoke process_commands, so i simply added that to all the if scenarios and it works! still thanks tho

[fast osprey]

I would recommend using a listener instead for simplicity

You should only need to override and run process_commands if there are cases where you don't want to process commands

[solid pecan]

yo guys i have a small question

how can i get the message from discord api

discord.ext.commands.errors.MissingRequiredArgument: message is a required argument that is missing.

async def kick(self, ctx, message: discord.message):

for some reason it doesnt allow me to use the message content

[shrewd apex]

u need channel id and message id both

then u can fetch the message

[solid pecan]

why does it give me it here tho

[shrewd apex]

!d discord.TextChannel.fetch_message

[unkempt canyon]

discord.TextChannel.fetch\_message

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

Retrieves a single [`Message`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Message) from the destination.

[solid pecan]

async def on_message(self, message):

[shrewd apex]

thats an event

its triggered everytime u get a message

[solid pecan]

so that event has the message already included?

[shrewd apex]

ur talking about a command ur defining

[fast osprey]

Discord sends it to the bot as a part of the event payload

[solid pecan]

oh ok

[solid pecan]

whats the / parameter?

[shrewd apex]

marks id as a positional parameter

[solid pecan]

what does that mean

[shrewd apex]

any args b4 the / are strictly positional

TypeError: foo() got some positional-only arguments passed as keyword arguments: 'b'

just means u cant pass the stuff as keyword arguments they are strictly positional

[solid pecan]

ah

so the only thing i can use is "id"

and i cant change the position

[shrewd apex]

there is also * which is responsible for keyword arguments

[shrewd apex]

well yeah u need to pass it in order in such a case

[solid pecan]

im tryna read more about fetch message but i cant find it

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

[solid pecan]

nvm found it

[fast osprey]

If you want someone to pass a message in for a command, consider making a message context menu instead

[quick gust]

following up on this, could there be any work around? like maybe overriding the interaction_check method of CommandTree Or smth?

[solid pecan]

what is that?

[fast osprey]

You're probably thinking about this the wrong way, it really depends on what you're trying to accomplish but in general it's not good to mutate standard objects dictated by discord

[solid pecan]

im basically trying to replicate a kick command but to do that i need to find the content in the message so i can know which user to kick

[fast osprey]

Why not use the built in kick command?

[solid pecan]

well im trying to learn here

[fast osprey]

You can learn without reducing security

[solid pecan]

how am i reducing security?

[quick gust]

my only goal is to have a method which forms and sends the embed to the context location. While using prefix commands I just made a customcontext class which had a send_embed method. that way I did not have to
await ctx.send(embed=embed) (and also form the embed)
and just had to
await ctx.send_embed(text)

[fast osprey]

There's a million other things you can make besides replicating something that already exists but worse that is also bad for security

[solid pecan]

im not ever willing to publish the bot in the market..

im just developing discord bots to learn python

[fast osprey]

Knowing the tools you have available is a part of learning

[solid pecan]

well i'd like to know how they work

[fast osprey]

But why a kick command? You could replicate the 8000 other operations on the api that also aren't sensitive or security gated. There's a reason why people pick that specifically, and it's due to misinformation

[solid pecan]

what can i replicate?

[fast osprey]

Look at anything you do in discord

Almost every button or menu has an api endpoint backing it

From a learning perspective, kicking or banning a member is no more interesting or complex than changing their nickname or moving them between voice channels or muting them etc etc. All single api calls, it's just the former are sensitive and have very specific protections on them that you aren't going to replicate

[shrewd apex]

make some ai response command based on message context, or make some code evaluation based on a message context menu so may ways lol get creative

[solid pecan]

ok

[fast osprey]

You may want to read the new developer policy before recommending the former

[shrewd apex]

hmm it has prohibitions on like gen ai? lemme take a look

[fast osprey]

Says "do not use message content to train AI models without discord's consent", paraphrased

[shrewd apex]

but is training same as prompt generation?

like i actively want to generate some response out of my query as an user does that violate the tos?

[fast osprey]

Not a lawyer, but I personally wouldn't fuck with passing any user content into anything vaguely AI

Nor do I ever want someone doing that with my content in any capacity

[shrewd apex]

hmm fair i suppose

[fast osprey]

And if you didn't design and host the model yourself, you have no idea what it's doing when you pass a string into it

Going out on a limb and guessing that a vast majority of bot developers are not also professional AI scientists brewing their own models

[solid pecan]

im pretty sure mee6 and other bots use ai

[fast osprey]

mee6 also literally scams people

[solid pecan]

scams?

[fast osprey]

Not a good measuring stick to decide what's morally okay to do with your work lol

[solid pecan]

isnt that shit the most popular bot

[fast osprey]

That is not mutually exclusive with being shitty, unfortunately

The new policy is also not in effect yet

It was just announced like yesterday

[solid pecan]

oh

[hearty basalt]

watch TTS' video about it

i remember when they were slowly making each feature 'premium'

[wanton current]

Yeah, i'm not paying $90 to send custom embeds

[hearty basalt]

better to make your own fr

making embeds is hella easy too

[wanton current]

that's what im saying

90% of features are just meh

[past plaza]

should i make language switch for my bot?

[fast osprey]

Unlikely it's worth it unless you have a personal preference

Most of the major libraries have feature parity

[upbeat otter]

Hey, why is my bot not able to sync the application commands to my server

await self.load_extension("Luna.extensions.general")

if self.settings.AUTO_SYNC_APP_COMMANDS:
    synced_commands = await self.tree.sync(guild=discord.Object(self.settings.GUILD_ID))
    print(synced_commands)
    # Output: []

.I have a GroupCog in the general.py file. Also, when I log the information on startup, discord.py does recognize the general group though it does not sync.

I haven't use dpy in like 2 years 💀

[fast osprey]

You shouldn't ever be auto syncing

But check to see if your commands are also registered to the same guild

[upbeat otter]

Well, I turn it off after it gets synced so yeah

[wanton current]

why not just have a command for syncing

[upbeat otter]

Can we solve the main issue here pls? 🗿

[wanton current]

^

If your commands are "global", and you're syncing to one guild. Only commands that have also been set to sync to that guild are synced.

[upbeat otter]

Oh shit I forgot to copy it to global 💀 alrght thanks

[wanton current]

👍

[fast osprey]

This does matter as you will quickly rate limit yourself and be unable to do anything for days

[shrewd apex]

is the rate limit that long?

[wanton current]

eventually

i suppose

[shrewd apex]

hmm

iirc gamecracks posted about the amount of times u can sync commands which is counted towards rate limits i think that happens when creating and deleting commands afaik

[solid pecan]

wait so auto syncing is the reason i get rate limited?

i do run my bot multiple times

[fast osprey]

Who knows what you're doing lol

That's just a very specific and strict bucket

[wanton current]

if you're syncing on start up, and then restarting your bot every time you make a change, that will get you ratelimited in the blink of an eye

[solid pecan]

ye i do that

[solid pecan]

well i “assumed” that its the only thing that can get me rate limited

[fast osprey]

You can get rate limited on literally any action you do that talks to the api

If it's the same error, you didn't fix it. If it's a different error, we'll need that.

You also should strongly consider generating threads rather than channels for this purpose.

[main holly]

i fixed it lol

i just retyped it all and it worked

[vapid parcel]

Best way to grow your discord bot or make it be seen?

[versed basalt]

My discord bot is integrated with a private Plex Server, users can look up movie titles and if it's on the server the bot will respond with an embed with information about the movie. Is there ways to get neater formatting out of this, like reduce some of the empty space?

[golden portal]

i guess if you want a smaller one just use embed description, and format them as
Title: The Room
Year: 2003
...

using embed fields only get you that much space

[flat pier]

alternatively just change around how you're setting up ur embed if you want it to be smaller

i forgot director but it gets the point across

but because this is a specific use case and probably only you and a few others will utilize it you can assume people know what each thing is, i.e the title and link not needing its own field and just paring it in the embeds actual title and url

[versed basalt]

that makes sense, I appreciate the suggestions

[upbeat otter]

The story has some sauce to it ngl 🗿

[cedar sail]

Anyone here knows how to create telegram bot with python? I just want the bot to send a message when start button is pressed

You can ask in #1035199133436354600 , in this channel all people will only answer questions regarding discord bots

[quaint obsidian]

How can I handle this rate limit? [WARNING ] discord.http: We are being rate limited. What event shoud I use?

@bot.event
async on_error()``` 

is not called and

@bot.event
async def on_request_error(response, data):

is not called.

There is no documentation for other error handling events that I can find in discord.py docs. I mean it is hard to find something there in general.

[timber dragon]

That's logged while doing requests

Nothing it called for it

You should check the routes it's called for and "fix" your code spamming that

[pure basin]

is there a package for instagram so whenever a specific person posts a reel it sends it in a channel through a webhook?

[quaint obsidian]

I made my bot to do a lot of stuff so it can get rate limited for tests.

[timber dragon]

Aha

[quaint obsidian]

Use web scraping.

And I want when it gets timeouted to send message or to do some action.

I just realize that it can't do any action, because it is rate limited.

But still. How can I do it?

[timber dragon]

I personally don't think there is a way for users to "handle" it..

I'm not sure if this is allowed but I would suggest opening a post in the discord.py server at https://discord.com/channels/336642139381301249/985299059441025044 since there are more people that know about this stuff

ah

because its a custom help command. its not letting me do that

It has nothing to do with the help conmand

yeah, i just mistyped something, thats all

error:

Correct:

async def setup(bot):

[timber dragon]

Lol no

You don't add a HelpCommand as a cog

You aren't required to call add_cog in the setup func fwiw lol

[jade jolt]

it just prints err to a message

[timber dragon]

That's bad

https://docs.python.org/3/library/traceback.html#traceback.print_exc

[ancient stump]

[timber dragon]

Or ```py
import logging

logging.error("message", exc_info=error_or_bool)

[barren shoal]

how can i get avatar url of a interaction.user

[timber dragon]

Same as before

It's a Member/User obj

!d discord.Member.avatar

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.avatar

property avatar```
Equivalent to [`User.avatar`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.User.avatar)

[barren shoal]

👍

[timber dragon]

I would recommend .display_avatar

[timber dragon]

That's the setup part which looks pretty good yes

logging.info/debug/error can be used to actually use it yourself

yo @ancient stump

sent u a dm can ucheck?

i think atleast

i mean you should have all three enabled i think

How did toggling the intent in the developer portal solve an attribute error LMFAO, completely unrelated

Either the issue is still not fixed or it wasn't that the error

@deft kindle did it actually help lol

cs bro does have a point

[deft kindle]

it doesn't work :v

[hearty basalt]

that was the only thing that came to mind lmao but Krypton can help you

[deft kindle]

[ancient stump]

uh nuh

no

just enable the required intents, not everything

why?

[hearty basalt]

why what

[copper flume]

why is the view.message.components = []

shouldn't it be the buttons?

[slate swan]

looks like you didnt attach those buttons to a view

class View(ui.View):
  def __init__(self, ...):
    # Missing self.add_item()

atleast I think thats the case

[hearty basalt]

if i can get the user's status as user.activities[0].name, how can i get the user's bio?

[copper flume]

.

[copper flume]

bro you can see the children of the view

on printing view.children - the first print

[copper flume]

the list lol

[naive briar]

You cannot. Discord's bot API doesn't give those out

[hearty basalt]

Feel free to ask your question and people who know the answer will

[wary mantle]

Is it possible to make a discord bot run a command on another bot?

I wanna try making an auto bump bot

[wanton current]

no

[fast osprey]

Bots cannot perform interactions. If it's a text command, sure why not if the bot allows it and doesn't mind you doing it

[flat pier]

if its the bot im thinking of they dont

• it wont respond to a bot iirc

[charred radish]

so i ws using selenium for screenshotting a webpage but my bot gets ratelimited, could i know how many requests i can make or how many times can i screenshot a webpage?

[flat pier]

the bot itself is ratelimited or?

[charred radish]

bot itself

[flat pier]

screenshotting another website shouldn't affect those ratelimits, what else are you doing?

[charred radish]

def take_screenshot(url):
    driver = webdriver.Chrome()  
    
    driver.get(url)
    
    screenshot_path = "screenshot.png"
    driver.save_screenshot(screenshot_path)
    
    driver.quit()
    
    return screenshot_path

@bot.command()
async def screenshot(ctx, *, url: str):
    screenshot_path = take_screenshot(url)
    
    with open(screenshot_path, "rb") as file:
        screenshot_file = discord.File(file)
        await ctx.send(file=screenshot_file)

[flat pier]

can you show the ratelimit message/warning

[charred radish]

wai

[flat pier]

you do get a message saying you're being ratelimited do you?

[charred radish]

i do

pastebin link?

[flat pier]

whatever works for you

https://mystb.in/

[charred radish]

https://pastebin.com/rfa0NAqA

other error is of selenium i think

[flat pier]

you're not being ratelimited its because selenium is blocking (probably especially so when taking screenshots n stuff)
https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/faq.html#what-does-blocking-mean

[charred radish]

so is there something i could do to fix it?

[flat pier]

you'll want to run your synchronous function in an executor, something like await loop.run_in_executor(None, sync_func, *args)

[wanton current]

asyncio.to_thread

[flat pier]

i thought to_thread was worse

[wanton current]

it's a wrapper around run_in_executor

The bot was up for a year and it went down today

[flat pier]

this was fixed in dpy v2.2.3

[open narwhal]

I see

so I just need to update my library? I don't need any code changes right?

[flat pier]

im not completely sure there may be a couple things but not many (take that with a grain of salt idk the amount of breaking changes since 2.0.1)

[open narwhal]

I see I see..

[flat pier]

updating will fix that problem though

[open narwhal]

Thanks so much

it worked

[flat pier]

no problem

[sturdy egret]

Can i get some bot help, webook2 = Webhook.from_url(data["webhook", client = bot])
^^^^^^^^^^^^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax. Maybe you meant '==' or ':=' instead of '='?

thats the error code

                webook2 = Webhook.from_url(data["webhook", client = bot])

Thasts the code

[fast osprey]

Check where your ] is

[versed basalt]

for those of you that use sqlite databases with your bot, how prone are the databases to becoming corrupted?

[sturdy egret]

well the thing is i had to change it as im trying to send a view using webhook2

and apparently its writen like that but its erroring

[fast osprey]

That doesn't really address the fact that you're trying to subscript on whatever data is with ["webhook", ...]

[sturdy egret]

so how should i fix it?

[fast osprey]

Subscript on it with a valid key

[sturdy egret]

ah okay

do you think you coudl help with the sending a view part?

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") 
``` - Filename is button_sendcode.py its then refereneced as ButtonSendCode

await webhook.send(view= ButtonSendCode()) and i tried this but it just errors

[fast osprey]

and what is the error?

[sturdy egret]

It just doesnt send it

[fast osprey]

and the error...?

it just errors

[sturdy egret]

like it doesnt send/show the button

[sturdy egret]

@fast osprey

changed the code to this webhook2 = discord.Webhook.from_url(data["webhook"], session=session)

await webhook2.send("",view= ButtonSendCode())

however get the issue ```ValueError: Webhook views require an associated state with the webhook

[slate swan]

To send components with a webhook it needs to be a webhook owned by the application (your bot)

Which can be done by, e.g.

!d discord.TextChannel.create_webhook

[unkempt canyon]

discord.TextChannel.create\_webhook

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

Creates a webhook for this channel.

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

Changed in version 1.1: Added the `reason` keyword-only parameter.

[slate swan]

And you can also fetch a webhook based on its ID

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.fetch_webhook

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.fetch\_webhook

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

Retrieves a [`Webhook`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Webhook) with the specified ID.

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

[bold musk]

can anyone help me with this

[wanton current]

@bot.event

[bold musk]

I tried that as well

[wanton current]

and what does it say?

[wanton current]

no parenthesis

[bold musk]

oh I am dumb I was basing it off of commands thx

[wanton current]

nw

[velvet sierra]

someone know a way to profile a bot memory usage?

[ancient stump]

wtf.. i got banned on gg/dpy xD

[merry quail]

hey everyone, ive been struggling with this for a while and would love some help if possible!

basically, when someone sends a gif, i would like it to show the gif inside of the embed (you can see in the image attached it just shows the gif link, not the actual gif)

any help is greatly appreciated

[sick birch]

!d discord.Embed.set_image

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Embed.set\_image

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

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

[sick birch]

i think this should work

[merry quail]

alright, ill go try that out

i can see where the gif would be, but it seems to just load forever

i was looking around and found this: #1243898327435579412
what i think i would need to do then is get the direct image url, but in order for it to work with whatever gifs are sent, the bot would have to get that somehow? so im not too sure how i would do that

[distant warren]

Hi, trying to make a proper help command
Shown in the image, on the bottom of the help command there are two arguments and next to those arguments it says that there's no description given, but how do I give a description
I've been searching the docs and I'm confused on that

!d discord.ext.commands.parameter

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.parameter

discord.ext.commands.parameter(\*, converter=..., default=..., description=..., displayed_default=..., displayed_name=...)```
A way to assign custom metadata for a [`Command`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Command)'s parameter.

New in version 2.0.

Examples

A custom default can be used to have late binding behaviour.

```py
@bot.command()
async def wave(ctx, to: discord.User = commands.parameter(default=lambda ctx: ctx.author)):
    await ctx.send(f'Hello {to.mention} :wave:')

[distant warren]

nvm

[toxic breach]

can somebody help me?

My code is: ```py
class ConfirmView(discord.ui.View):
def init(self, url, filename, title, artist, ctx):
super().init(timeout=None)
self.url = url
self.filename = filename
self.title = title
self.artist = artist
self.ctx = ctx

@discord.ui.button(label="Yes", style=discord.ButtonStyle.green)
async def confirm(self, button: discord.ui.Button, interaction: discord.Interaction):
    url, title, artist, thumbnail = get_youtube_video_info(self.url)
    embed = discord.Embed(description=f"**Το `{title}` αρχίζει να κατεβένει, μόλις κατέβει θα σταλθεί εδώ.**", color=discord.Color.dark_red())
    embed.set_author(name=button.user.name, icon_url=button.user.avatar)
    message69 = await button.response.send_message(embed=embed, ephemeral=True)
    filename, title, artist, thumbnail = download_youtube_video(self.url)
    await message69.edit(file=discord.File(filename), ephemeral=True)
    os.remove(self.filename)
    self.stop()```

and the error is: await message69.edit(file=discord.File(filename), ephemeral=True) AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'edit'

why?

[sick birch]

.send_message doesn't actually return the Message

you have to use await interaction.edit_original_response(...)

[toxic breach]

and await interaction.send_original_response too?

[sick birch]

no, you can leave the .send_message as it is

[toxic breach]

oh okay

thank you bro

[toxic breach]

how can I send a file on the await interaction.edit_original_response()?

[golden portal]

it takes attachments kwarg which accepts a list of discord.File

[toxic breach]

Yeah I fixed it

[upbeat otter]

So it isn't sending the message to the user?

[barren shoal]

No it just errors in the console about the error itself (missing any role)

[upbeat otter]

uh?? So it's not sending the error to the user right?

[barren shoal]

No, you can try it to see what I mean

[quick gust]

which library is this?

I can't find on_app_command_error in the dpy docs

[wanton current]

In d.py you'd use CommandTree.on_error

[timber dragon]

Need an error handler for your app (slash) commands? These are handled on the CommandTree. You can set one using the decorator or subclass it (recommended).

Documentation

• CommandTree.on_error
• CommandTree.error (decorator)

How

• Subclassing CommandTree: ?tag treeerrorsubclass
• Using the decorator:

from discord import app_commands, Interaction

bot = commands.Bot(...)
# Bot has a built-in tree
# but this is the same for a CommandTree you define.
tree = bot.tree
# can't find your tree? -> ?tag definetree

# this will function as a global error handler for app commands
@tree.error
async def on_app_command_error(
    interaction: Interaction,
    error: app_commands.AppCommandError
):
    ...

• In a Cog/Extension: ?tag treeerrorcog
• Per command: ?tag app_command_error

[wanton current]

[scarlet tiger]

That is only for discord.py, it will not help those who use a fork

[timber dragon]

only discord.py calls it "app commands" and they literally said "in the dpy docs"

[quick gust]

Yeah, on_app_command_error has no results in the docs

[quick gust]

whered you find this?

[timber dragon]

it's a tag in the discord.py server

[barren shoal]

but my on_error thing is in a class, decorators dont work in classes do they?

im confused sorry

[timber dragon]

do you want it a cog?

[barren shoal]

no this is the main code, no cogs

[ivory violet]

anyone know anything about this? https://www.cooldown.ai?utm_source=discord&utm_medium=server&utm_campaign=outreach

[scarlet tiger]

If you want an event inside a class you must use the commands.Cog.listener() decorator

[scarlet tiger]

@barren shoal

[barren shoal]

fixed it

[hushed galleon]

on_error for CommandTree is awkward in that you can't use regular listeners for it, you'd have to override it directly to apply a global error handler
https://github.com/thegamecracks/theticketbot/blob/main/src/theticketbot/cogs/errors.py#L276-L285

[unkempt canyon]

src/theticketbot/cogs/errors.py lines 276 to 285

[pure glacier]

I want to create a discord bot for pokedex the stats data i wanna use is in a typescript format how can i use it

[scarlet tiger]

I didn't know why I don't use discord.py and look in the documentation why I use a fork 😅

[lilac oasis]

ensure the get_youtube_video_info function is async if you're awaiting it

[slim bloom]

How do I do something so that my bot commands can only be used on servers?

[upbeat otter]

use the on_command event and make a check and see if the channel is not private

just search for it on the docs

[slim bloom]

😭

[pale zenith]

Slash commands or?

[slim bloom]

prefix

[pale zenith]

@commands.guild_only() check

[slim bloom]

And for DM-only commands?

[scarlet tiger]

Do you mean that users can use the commands in any DM?

[slim bloom]

yeah

[scarlet tiger]

In order for users to be able to use commands in DM, they must be slash commands and they must be linked to the new discord feature that allows users to install them. I'm not sure if discord.py already has this built in. It is still in Beta

[slim bloom]

and commands so that they can be used in dm and servers?

[scarlet tiger]

as I mentioned before, if you want the commands to be usable in any DM you must use the new discord feature. About the commands that can only be used on servers use the decorator you were shown before

[pale zenith]

@commands.dm_only()

[scarlet tiger]

but doesn't that apply only to the Dm of the bot?

🤔

[pale zenith]

Ah yeah

I see I was scrolled up

[scarlet tiger]

do you know if discord.py already has this function that allows users to use commands in any DM?

[pale zenith]

Yeah in the master branch which you install from github

!d discord.app_commands.allowed_installs

[unkempt canyon]

discord.app\_commands.allowed\_installs

@discord.app_commands.allowed_installs(guilds=..., users=...)```
A decorator that indicates this command should be installed in certain contexts. Valid contexts are guilds and users.

This is **not** implemented as a [`check()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.check), and is instead verified by Discord server side.

Due to a Discord limitation, this decorator does nothing in subcommands and is ignored.

Examples...

[pale zenith]

!d discord.app_commands.allowed_contexts

[unkempt canyon]

discord.app\_commands.allowed\_contexts

@discord.app_commands.allowed_contexts(guilds=..., dms=..., private_channels=...)```
A decorator that indicates this command can only be used in certain contexts. Valid contexts are guilds, DMs and private channels.

nice! thx

[main holly]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/7YPQ

hey, i need help

theres no errors in the console but it only says Please select a support option.

[slim bloom]

@pale zenith sir, even if I put @commands.guild_only()
the command is still responding and working in dm

[pale zenith]

show your code, please

[slim bloom]

ok

and with dm the same

[pale zenith]

I see, and did you restart the bot and save the file?

[slim bloom]

thx now work

[main holly]

can yall help me

[wanton current]

don't ask to ask

[pale zenith]

they didn't willi scroll up

[wanton current]

please forgive me leo

[pale zenith]

the code is kinda bad and I don't have the mental capacity to think at the moment

so I'd rather not take the commitment of helping them 😔

[main holly]

am new

so it will be bad

[wanton current]

it's okay

[slim bloom]

@bot.event
async def on_message(message):
    if isinstance(message.channel, (discord.TextChannel, discord.VoiceChannel)):
        if isinstance(message.channel, discord.TextChannel) and message.content.startswith(bot.command_prefix):
            await message.send('hi')
    
    await bot.process_commands(message)``` looks good?

[pale zenith]

You shouldn't handle commands this way

[slim bloom]

instance look good?

[pale zenith]

Just put those checks inside your commands

"good" is saying too much but those sure are some valid valid isinstance calls

[main holly]

i figured it out

im good now

[dusk ermine]

Can anyone tell me what it's for:

message = await interaction.original_response()```

[wanton current]

Fetches the original interaction response message associated with the interaction.

[slate swan]

how can i fix this error?

i have no error in code, ids are correct for channels,roles etc..

[tacit prawn]

Anyone know why the commands are not syncing?
Bot runs fine, just doesn't show the commands in discord servers.
discord.py

intents = discord.Intents.all()
intents.message_content = True
Bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="/", intents=intents, case_insensitive=False)


@Bot.event
async def on_ready():
    await Bot.tree.sync()
    print(f'We have logged in as {Bot.user}')


@Bot.tree.command(
    name= "setup",
    description="Setup your Cooper Bot!"
)
async def setup(interaction):
    await interaction.response.send_message("Testing!")


with open(os.getcwd() + "\Database\BotInfo\info.json") as json_file:
    json_decoded = json.load(json_file)
    Bot.run(json_decoded["Token"])

The print line in on_ready does run
Could I also just make a list of every discord that a client is in and loop through syncing each, one by one? If so, how would I sync each discord command, as they require a guild argument in @client.command()

[hushed galleon]

Bot runs fine, just doesn't show the commands in discord servers.
your code snippet seems fine, chances are that your desktop app needs to be reloaded (ctrl+R) to see the new command

Could I also just make a list of every discord that a client is in and loop through syncing each, one by one?
syncing is ratelimited quite heavily so i'd advise against syncing every guild at once; omitting guild= simply gives you a global command, like you've already defined

[midnight oracle]

defer the interaction

It may be taking more than 3s

[slate swan]

make a new bot fixed it for some reason

not sure why

[midnight oracle]

but, it doesn't says "the interaction didn't respond" so, it may not fix the issue

[midnight oracle]

Oh, well

at least it's working

[midnight oracle]

it fetches the original interaction response message associated with the interaction

[slate swan]

any clues on how that could happen?

i had this same problem with slash commands

[midnight oracle]

It may be the intents

[slate swan]

all 3 r on

[midnight oracle]

You didn't get any errora in the code you said?

[slate swan]

nope, not a single one.

i added logging tried diff ways running it

[midnight oracle]

hard to guess xd

[slate swan]

yeahh, maybe code logic?

wait no i tried the same bot with no code

cant be that.. not sure.

[slate swan]

alright so i tested it haha, same code.. switched to the discord bot (all same settings) and it didnt work. went to another one and it did

very odd.

[brave epoch]

does anyone know how to get a discord webhook name using python im able to get id but i want a name like print('Logged in as {webhook_name}')

[midnight oracle]

indeed xd

[upbeat otter]

!d discord.Webhook.from_url

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Webhook.from\_url

classmethod from_url(url, *, session=..., client=..., bot_token=None)```
Creates a partial [`Webhook`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Webhook) from a webhook URL.

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

[upbeat otter]

pass the url parameter as your webhook url

this will return a Webhook object

!d discord.Webhook

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Webhook

class discord.Webhook```
Represents an asynchronous Discord webhook.

Webhooks are a form to send messages to channels in Discord without a bot user or authentication.

There are two main ways to use Webhooks. The first is through the ones received by the library such as [`Guild.webhooks()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Guild.webhooks), [`TextChannel.webhooks()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.TextChannel.webhooks), [`VoiceChannel.webhooks()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.VoiceChannel.webhooks) and [`ForumChannel.webhooks()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.ForumChannel.webhooks). The ones received by the library will automatically be bound using the library’s internal HTTP session.

The second form involves creating a webhook object manually using the [`from_url()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Webhook.from_url) or [`partial()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Webhook.partial) classmethods.

For example, creating a webhook from a URL and using [aiohttp](https://docs.aiohttp.org/en/stable/index.html):

[slate swan]

guys my brain just shut down after not using python for months, can someone tell me how to fix this

[patent hull]

install discord.py

[slate swan]

i already did, im not sure why its not working

[patent hull]

make sure you're on the same environment and you installed it in it

[upbeat otter]

ctx.guild.bans returns a generator

[white narwhal]

@bot.command()
@commands.has_permissions(ban_members=True)
async def ban(ctx, user: discord.User):

await ctx.send(f"{user.name} has been banned from the server.")

await ctx.guild.unban(banned_user)
await ctx.send(f'Unbanned {banned_user.mention}')
return

await ctx.send('User not found in the ban list.')

@upbeat otter

[upbeat otter]

if you wanna use it like that, flatten it into a list

banned_users = [entry async for entry in ctx.guild.bans() if entry.user == member]

This will return a list of entries that satisfy the condition

then you can check if the list is not empty and access the first entry

[white narwhal]

@upbeat otter

[upbeat otter]

yes what

[white narwhal]

The bot response
User not found in the ban list.

But user is on ban list

@upbeat otter ?

[upbeat otter]

compare str(entry.user) bro dont copy paste

🗿

[white narwhal]

Ok ok
I am dumb

Lol

[timber dragon]

True

[white narwhal]

[upbeat otter]

I've literally copied that code from docs
did you update discord.py?

[white narwhal]

discord.py is updated

[upbeat otter]

no wait don't await ctx.guild.bans

it's a generator 😭

[white narwhal]

K

[upbeat otter]

entry.user async for...

[mint parcel]

Offer open for about $15 worth of ethereum if someone makes me a privacy policy, TOS page and verifies all my intents for me. Ping me for questions and if ur interested, or DM >>

How much you will pay?

[white narwhal]

For?

[mint parcel]

Offer open for about $15 worth of ethereum...

Read the title lmfao

[white narwhal]

[mint parcel]

can probably up it to 20

ping me if interested <3

or DM

[white narwhal]

I literally said that

or just learn how to use async generators 🗿

[slate swan]

can someone explain why this isnt working, but in a way a thats easy to understand

[white narwhal]

I already give you my code so can you correct it and give me pls?

[wanton current]

we literally told you twice what to change

[wanton current]

have you installed discord.py?

or whatever package that you're trying to use

[slate swan]

yes, i have and its still not like working

[regal cypress]

hey guy I am trying to code a bot any tips on how to start

[wanton current]

does it error if you try running the bot?

[slate swan]

wont start

[wanton current]

module not found error?

[upbeat otter]

Use our UwU Asher's guide 😩
https://fallendeity.github.io/discord.py-masterclass/creating-a-bot/

[slate swan]

where would i check that?

[regal cypress]

Thanks man

[wanton current]

does it print anything in the console when you try starting the bot?

[slate swan]

nope

[wanton current]

what's your code?

!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.

[upbeat otter]

did you restart your ide?

[slate swan]

sent in dms

[slate swan]

ive done it multiple times, i uninstalled vsc and re installed python

[upbeat otter]

bro is super frustrated 😭
do you have multiple interpreters installed?

[slate swan]

"but in a way a thats easy to understand" sorry but im slow asf rn

[slate swan]

lmao i am 😭

it was working perfectly then i went to bed and it got messed up or sum

[upbeat otter]

do you have more than 1 python interpreters installed on your system?

[slate swan]

where would i check that? pip list?

sorry its been a few months since i worked on python bots so i forgot alot of stuff

[wanton current]

Ctrl + Shift + P -> Python: Select Interpreter

[wanton current]

hmm

do you have the python extension installed?

[slate swan]

it appears i have two pythons

[wanton current]

pylance is the language server

[wanton current]

is the project in trusted mode?

or the folder

[slate swan]

how to i check that, all of it was working perfectly abt 12 hours ago

[wanton current]

Ctrl Shift P again

cuz of that icon

[slate swan]

i did that, and i selected the latest version of python that i have installed

[wanton current]

if you open the terminal inside vscode and then do pip show discord.py, does it show up?

or pip list

[wanton current]

how do you run your bot?

in terminal or?

[slate swan]

yes

[wanton current]

with python file.py?

[regal cypress]

what do I do know?

[slate swan]

like the bot name? like bot.py

[wanton current]

yeah, does python -m pip show discord.py also work?

[wanton current]

do u have python installed

[regal cypress]

yes

[wanton current]

and doing python bot.py doens't work?

[wanton current]

that's extensions, you need to install python in itself

https://www.python.org/downloads/

[wanton current]

is that the right filename

and path

[wanton current]

probably the wrong folder then

is your bot located in your User folder?

[slate swan]

its just in "this pc"

[regal cypress]

what do I do after installing it

[wanton current]

well the problem is that you're trying to run C:\Users\voxyd\voxybot.py and the file doesn't exist in that folder

[wanton current]

run this again

[slate swan]

how do i move it to that folder

[wanton current]

would recommend "opening" the folder that your bot file is in, then the terminal should automatically change to the correct folder

[regal cypress]

still the same problem

[wanton current]

try restarting vscode

[regal cypress]

it works now

[slate swan]

i moved it to my folder, but its now showing up when i do that in vsc

[wanton current]

?

[slate swan]

okay i moved it, but it still has those errors

[wanton current]

what is the path of your bot file

[slate swan]

i put it into "bot code" folder

was that not what i was supposed to do

[wanton current]

did you open the folder like this?

[slate swan]

yes

[wanton current]

what does cd output in your terminal if you restart it

[slate swan]

? wdym

[wanton current]

what does it say if you type cd in your terminal

[slate swan]

nothing

[wanton current]

aha

well, is your bot file inside that folder?

that you are currently inside of

[upbeat otter]

this channel has been everything except discord bots

[slate swan]

how? hes trying to help me fix wtv is wrong with my vsc which is for my bot

[full saffron]

Teach me how to solve it.

[elder vale]

import discord
import time

[elder vale]

This imports u have done it's old

[thin raft]

?

[thin raft]

select the python interpreter

[thin raft]

like this

[elder vale]

Yes this imports it's too old

he need just discord and time

[thin raft]

that doesn't change anything

[elder vale]

No he change bro

[thin raft]

theres no need

[elder vale]

have u ever made a project with discord ?

[wanton current]

what are you on about

[thin raft]

it's not a discord.py thing

it's a python thing what you're talking about

[elder vale]

yes bro

but bro are coding a project .py i guess

[wanton current]

what's wrong with this

[thin raft]

.py is a file not a project

[thin raft]

vscode not detecting discord.py

most likely the interpreter is wrong

[wanton current]

was thinking about this

[elder vale]

open cmd pip install discord

[full saffron]

Does it do this?

[wanton current]

doing this changes nothing if it's not installed / found

[simple prawn]

how can i make my bot join a voice chat?

[upbeat otter]

!d discord.VoiceChannel.connect

[unkempt canyon]

discord.VoiceChannel.connect

await connect(*, timeout=30.0, reconnect=True, cls=<class 'discord.voice_client.VoiceClient'>, self_deaf=False, self_mute=False)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Connects to voice and creates a [`VoiceClient`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.VoiceClient) to establish your connection to the voice server.

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

[slim bloom]

How could I make my bot show its connected status on mobile?

[fast osprey]

It isn't supported

[drifting arrow]

Why you importing time and then sleep from time?

[full saffron]

I got it from someone I know who told me to put it in too but I don't know what it does.

[drifting arrow]

So you're essentially importing the entire time package.
then you're saying only import sleep from time
but the entire time package has rleady been imported.

so you could do:
time.sleep(9999)
or you could just do sleep(9999)

both will work. but you dont need to import both.

[wanton current]

also don't use time.sleep in an async environment lol

[full saffron]

Oh, it's like this.

[drifting arrow]

Yep. Use asyncio :D

[full saffron]

But I really can't solve this one. Do you know how to fix it? Module, I checked everything and it's there but it still comes up like this.

[drifting arrow]

Did you restart your computer?

Does the code work anyway?

[full saffron]

The computer has been restarted but it cannot work.

The code doesn't work.

[drifting arrow]

are you running the code in command prompt or via vscode or whatever you're using?

[full saffron]

Vscode and then install the module on the computer

[drifting arrow]

Try running the code via command prompt

Do you know how?

[full saffron]

Yes, I do know it.

[drifting arrow]

Awesome!

Give it a shot.

[full saffron]

Ok

[drifting arrow]

howd it go?

[tacit prawn]

discord.py
Im trying to pass a discord.SelectOption through the class to add to a dropdown

1. The SelectOption can not be made in the class,
2. I do not know how to edit the dropdown options outside of the class, so if you are going to help, this is another path that could solve it.
   2.5 I have tried editing the dropdown after creating it, by calling the class, changing it, then sending it, but this doesn't work as when you call the class, it is no longer a discord.ui.View, but a Server.Setup.setup.viewTwo (My own class)

I have tried the following, but it doesnt work as self.opt in the discord.ui.select

class viewTwo(discord.ui.View):
    super().__init__()
    def __init__(self, opt: discord.SelectOption):
        self.select_channels.options = [opt]
    @discord.ui.select(
        cls=discord.ui.Select,
        placeholder = "None selected",
        min_values = 1,
        max_values = 1,
        options = []
    )
    async def select_channels(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, select: discord.ui.Select):
        if interaction.user.id == interaction.guild.owner.id:
            return await interaction.response.send_message(f'You selected {select.values[0]}')
        else:
            return await interaction.response.send_message("You are not allowed to use this command!")

I can use viewTwo().addItem(), but I do not know how to use the function, even after reading the doc here: https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/interactions/api.html?highlight=select#discord.ui.Select.add_option
^^^ This is because I do not know how to create an Item

[pale zenith]

self.select_channels.options = [...] or self.select_channel.add_option(...)

AFTER super().__init__() not before

[tacit prawn]

So the super line, then the self line, then the discord.ui.select?

[pale zenith]

Yes, you'd use one of those inside of the init

after calling super, if this is done inside the init

you can reference any item of a view with self or view.<function name> and modify them

[tacit prawn]

But wait, doesnt the function run after the dropdown has been selected?

If so, I want to change it before it has even been sent, not after it was selected.

[pale zenith]

^

[tacit prawn]

Ohhhh

Mb, I forgot I still had the init on that one

[pale zenith]

al lg

[tacit prawn]

Im not the greatest with init's or super, but should it be like this? (updated above)

Wait no, hold on

[pale zenith]

holding-oning

[tacit prawn]

Alright, so I did get it to work, but the only issue that I have now, is that I need to get the names of the selected option in a view. I already have a discord.ui.View object from getting the message that it was replying to.

And thank you so far for helping me

[tacit prawn]

discord.py
How do I get the selected option of a view if I have a message object?

[hushed galleon]

like just after a user chooses something from your select menu? discord only gives those values in the interaction payload, so trying to get it from a message object isn't really the right thing to do

though discord.py does a bit of magic to make those values accessible on the Select object itself

class MyView(discord.ui.View):
    @discord.ui.select(...)
    async def on_select(self, interaction, select):
        values = select.values```

[tacit prawn]

Yea, this is what I was afraid of. Its fine though, I have another idea that I know how to do anyway. Thank you for the input

Do you need help with what?

[slate swan]

creating a discord bot and adding a database making it actually work because i try for hours and no luck

may u please help?

okay so how we gonna do because u dont got a mic

[gusty mural]

Some free and easy to use cloud service to deploy and host the bots???

[shadow vigil]

look into this thread #discord-bots message

[past spire]

Hey guys

[past spire]

use sqlite3, you need to learn sql and you can pass it through python to maintain a database or *.db file

[upbeat otter]

sqlite3 needs like 15 minutes of SQL knowledge at a base level 🗿

[past spire]

and it's easy

btw, how can i make discord bot that can handle a lot of series of questions?
like
nickname:
power:
ability:
all in new message, not in new line

[slate swan]

Replit.com isn’t exactly a ‘host’ but it’s sure a great online platform to develop your code, test it and semi run it for short periods of time

You using Python?

[past spire]

me? yes

it's easy with python

and im still stuck

[slate swan]

@bot.command()
async def args(ctx, *args):
await bot.say('{} arguments: {}'.format(len(args), ', '.join(args)))

try this at first it will list all arguments that a user passes the through, you could then look at implementing it into your command

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/commands.html#variable

it will assume anything after a space is a new arg

E.g

test hello I’m Brad

output:
hello, I’m, Brad

[past spire]

not like that, let me explain with excample output

nickname:
xyz

next question:
new response

stuff like that in discord

[slate swan]

ok so what would the user input look like

[past spire]

or can the instance handle it? or how to stop the instance after a timeout so it can clear the ram

[past spire]

"xyz" and "new response"

i just want it to ask a series of questions without me making a lot of if statements but staying in only one instance

[simple prawn]

how can i return the url avatar of a ctx.member?

tips on recreating this cmd when tberes no snapchat api pls ?

[upbeat otter]

use the wait_for method

Brief example:

#this is some command

nickname = await bot.wait_for("message", ...)
# Then the user types their response
abilitiy = await bot.wait_for("message", ...)
# the user types their response

See !d discord.ext.commands.Bot.wait_for for more info

I do recommend using modal forms though, they provide a nice UI to the User to input large amounts of data

See this for examples on modals

[wanton current]

or just use a modal

[abstract forum]

Copilot wrote that…

[timber dragon]

maybe don't use ai to write bots

it doesn't know shit

[vapid parcel]

Alright, whats the best way to do this.

I have something like this right? But I want to have a unique something to each status server, which can't be guild/server id becuase you can have multiple server status. What can that be, and how can I continue to pull that same value over n over without my bot forgetting?

Yes a db, but how can my bot remember the unique value for that status for that server..? I can't pull from server id because that will just pull all the servers it has. I am at a lost because I can easily do this in a command vs buttons. But I rather do this all in modals n buttons because it looks better and more user friendly.

[hushed galleon]

maybe you want to use the message ID once the server status is posted?

[vapid parcel]

But I need it while setting up

so I can't have message id before sending embed

Well actually, you just gave me an idea, I could use the current message ID of the command, as a unique one for a temp... then change it later on..?

Message ID doesn't change even if its edited right?

[hushed galleon]

storing a different message ID than where the actual status would go to feels a bit awkward... do you definitely need the setup to be saved between restarts?

[vapid parcel]

You aren't understanding, what I am saying is, I store the message id of the setup command temp. Then after they send it, I will just update it to that message id.

So I have something unique to pull from all times

[hushed galleon]

wonder if on update cascade handles PK changes, its not a design ive tried before

i guess as long as you have a column indicating that its a draft status, you can separate them from active statuses while using the same tables

[vapid parcel]

well ye

I think I have no other choice imo

Because I can't pull other values because it will just confuse the fuck out of me and the bot lmao

there is only 1 message id

i think..?

[hushed galleon]

oops got lost in a rabbit hole, an alternative could be mapping it to (guild_id, user_id) but that works better with ephemeral messages

[elder tinsel]

It keeps giving me this error, anyone got any advice (im making a script where bots talk to each other)

[sick birch]

don't pass in bot=True to start() method

Also reset tokens

[elder tinsel]

So delete bot = true

[sick birch]

yeah

[elder tinsel]

Thanks

Ok so if i want the bot to respond to every message sent how do i code that?

[sick birch]

!d discord.on_message

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_message

discord.on_message(message)```
Called when a [`Message`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Message) is created and sent.

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

Warning

Your bot’s own messages and private messages are sent through this event. This can lead cases of ‘recursion’ depending on how your bot was programmed. If you want the bot to not reply to itself, consider checking the user IDs. Note that [`Bot`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot) does not have this problem.

[sick birch]

this event gets called whenever there's a message

[elder tinsel]

So people and bots

[marble basalt]

am i unable to use discord.interactions and context in the same function? i know that discord.interaction needs to be the first param but if i try to put ctx after then it gives me an error

[sick birch]

yes, you're unable to do that. what information do you need from a context?

[marble basalt]

i want to use context to purge messages, but use ephemeral from the interaction to send a message if the user tries to purge too many messages at once

[sick birch]

purge is a method of discord.TextChannel, not a context. so you can still purge with an interaction

[marble basalt]

how would i get the channel with an interaction?

[marble basalt]

nvm i got it, one more thing though, do slash commands take a bit to update on the bot? @sick birch

[sick birch]

don't think it does

it used to, but i'm pretty sure it's instant now

if it's not showing up maybe reload your client

its a bit buggy sometimes

[karmic elk]

i wrote some code for a mute command which adds a muted role to the user when the command is called
the role is added(ive set send_messages as false) to the user but the user is still able to send msgs
ive rechecked the heirarchy nothing seems wrong

!d discord.Member.timeout

just use the inbuilt timeout method?

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.timeout

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

Applies a time out to a member until the specified date time or for the given [`datetime.timedelta`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html#datetime.timedelta).

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

This raises the same exceptions as [`edit()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Member.edit).

Hey guys, I am either drawing a mental blank on this or something but I am trying to delete the response message from my "Modal" (preferably no response at all..)
Here's the code: https://paste.pythondiscord.com/XBJQ
The specific message I want to delete is all the way at the end.

await interaction.response.send_message("Done")
await interaction.message.delete(delay=0)

It technically deletes something but the wrong thing lol

[upbeat otter]

what does it delete

[drifting arrow]

The message it edits lol

I dont want it to delete the message it edits ;-;

So this specific section of my code, sends a modal, and once you submit the modal, it's suppose to edit the original message with something and the modal closes.

Ideally I'd like the modal to close on its own without sending a message, but idk how to do that

so I have to send a quick message in chat and then delete it

oo

nvm. I can use interaction.response.defer() instead

[simple prawn]

can someone help me,

@sick birch Can u help me pls sir

[turbid condor]

Can you try printing something in there and see if that works

[upbeat otter]

This code is so messed up

from what I can infer you're trying to find when your bot joins a server

use the on_guild_join event for that purpose

also do not send invites to yourself without the permission of the server members

and use a botvariable instead of using global variables (!botvar in #bot-commands for more info)

and dont use inbuilt function/keywords as variables names such as id. rename them to something else

Well, I can't see any of the rest of what's going on but it looks like you tried to assign a type hint to a variable (i.e. you didn't to use = but instead typed inside the type hint), but I cant be sure unless there's more context to be given

[shy eagle]

kk

[steep field]

can anyone give me a snippet of how i can make my discord bot run on slash commands

Has anyone ever run into sqlite databses being corrupted by git updates?

the database isn't included, but anytime the bot gets updated code form the git the sqlite db gets malformed

[rugged shadow]

malformed... hmmm

[rugged shadow]

corrupted as in like, really fucked (file format error)? or the tables are messed up

i think the database isn't properly gitignored

[slate swan]

from discord.ext import commands 

prefix = "/"
TOKEN = ""

intents = discord.Intents.default()
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix=prefix, intents=intents)


@bot.event
async def on_ready():
    print(f'{bot.user.name} has connected to Discord!')

@bot.command()
async def stock(ctx):
    await ctx.send("there is 0 stock atm")

bot.run(TOKEN)```

[versed basalt]

As in no the tables can no longer be accessed, even using SQLite command line tools to recover data yields nothing

[rugged shadow]

did you commit the database once then gitignored it after?

u might have to git rm it if that's the case

[versed basalt]

I never included it in the git, but after realizing today that the git was the only explanation I’ve added it to the git ignore. I’ll have to test it again once I have access to the server later today

But if it continues you recommend redoing the git entirely?

[rugged shadow]

that should be your last resort

as you'll lose your commit history

try to figure out the actual problem first

[versed basalt]

That’s not a huge concern to me, we’re talking about ~600 lines of code, that I keep a clone of anyway, losing the commits won’t bother me

[rugged shadow]

a stackoverflow post:

I had long ago fixed it with .gitattributes. But when I switched from MySQL to SQLite, I had not added .db as a file not to be messed with when it came to line endings.

Git was replacing a CRLF with an LF in the .db binary file

place this in your gitattributes:

*.db -text

or whatever file type your db is

[versed basalt]

Thanks I’ll give that a try too

[rugged shadow]

im not sure how to fix your db

remake it ig

or rollback to a fixed one

[versed basalt]

i keep backups of the db thankfully

but at the end of the day this is a bot for my personal discord, the db is only used for a warning system and a leveling system. All other features ive written for the bot that dont include any reads or writes of the db still function fine

[hushed galleon]

never would have thought committing an sqlite database might make git corrupt it by changing its line endings... i would have assumed line normalization would be skipped for binary files and untracked files, but perhaps both of those were no longer the case to git? in any case, i would hope .gitignore'ing it is enough because that's the only thing i do for my sqlite databases <.<

[slate swan]

I wonder why discord.py Intents class uses bitwise operators in the methods instead of hardcoding the value

@flag_value
def webhooks(self):
    return 1 << 5

it would always return 32 so what is the need for << operator?

the returned value seems to be constant

[wanton current]

https://discord.com/developers/docs/topics/permissions#permissions

[pale zenith]

Because that's the 5th bit of the intents, so it shifts 000001 (1) to 010000 (32) - obviously it wouldn't be this short of a bitfield because there's many more intents, but that's the concept.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bit_field

[slate swan]

oh alright

thanks

[pale zenith]

Then discord.py does extra shit with @flag_value to make it work as intended

def webhook() tells the @flag_value that it represents the 5th bit of an Intents bitfield

[versed basalt]

the sqlite database isnt included in commits, but it also wasnt in the gitignore

ive since added it and will test in a bit

[versed basalt]

It seems adding it to .gitignore fixed it, will test again next time there's a commit to be 100% sure

[copper flume]

How do I cancel my running asyncio task of a cog?

class Cog(commands.Cog):
    def __init__(self, bot):
        self.bot = bot
    def cog_load(self):
        asyncio.create_task()
    async def task_to_be_cancelled(self):
        while True:
             ...```

[upbeat mason]

i get this after some time of my bot running

       member_count = len(guild.members)
        await bot.change_presence(activity=nextcord.Activity(type=nextcord.ActivityType.listening, name=f"{member_count} members"), status=nextcord.Status.idle)
        while True:
            await asyncio.sleep(10)
            await bot.change_presence(activity=nextcord.Activity(type=nextcord.ActivityType.watching, name="duhphil"), status=nextcord.Status.idle)
            await asyncio.sleep(10)
            await bot.change_presence(activity=nextcord.Activity(type=nextcord.ActivityType.listening, name=f"{member_count} members"), status=nextcord.Status.idle)

its usually after like 12h+

[elder tinsel]

Got any suggestions? Im tryna make it respond to messages with a keyword anywhere in the message

[timber dragon]

read the warning here https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html#discord.on_ready

consider using a task or like.. don't change the status every 10 secs becuase no one cares about the amount of guilds/users it has

[spice carbon]

hey guys, what does typing.Annotated do here?

async def unban(
  self,
  ctx: commands.Context,
  member: Annotated[discord.BanEntry, BannedMember],
  *,
  reason: str = "No reason",
):

(BannedMember is a converter that basically fetches a ban entry)

[sick birch]

it tells discord.py that the BannedMember converter will be used, but the type of the variable will be a BanEntry

Annotated is a way to add extra metadata without changing the type of something

[spice carbon]

thats neat, thanks

i wrote this myself some time ago and forgot what it was lol

[pale zenith]

Probably came from here?

[timber dragon]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/commands.html#typing-annotated it's documented too

[sick birch]

yeah annotated is great, especially with custom converters

[pale zenith]

Yup. Either that or param is also great

Moderable = commands.param(converter=MemberVerifierConverter)

member: discord.Member = Moderable

[wanton current]

ur moderable

[pale zenith]

🥺 "morerate me ungh"

[wanton current]

famous words

[spice carbon]

oh thats right, i got a lot of things from rdanny from that old bot lol

[wanton current]

old but gold

[pale zenith]

don't we all...

[wanton current]

i did not steal the bannedmember converter

[lunar vine]

hhey im having issues with my bot, theres no error but whenever i start my interaction i cant use any commands the bot stops working

the interaction still continues but i cant use any commands!

[lunar vine]

☠️ good luck with that bud i worked on the same type of project and the api i was using discontinued randomly

also my server got banned twice bc its against tos

so ur best bet is to not do it

but if u still wanna go for it u should look for an api thats easy to understand and that has a wallet built into if possible

[scarlet tiger]

It is likely that you have some function that does not use async and the bot is blocked.

[woeful karma]

Can someone explain how permissions work with slash commands? They only seem to work with prefix commands

[blazing beacon]

could someone tell me how to get syntax highlighting for this ._. they look ugly

[sick birch]

for what? this looks normal

[blazing beacon]

for self.bot.user.mentioned_in

[sick birch]

you need to typehint self.bot so it knows the type

[blazing beacon]

and the others

[blazing beacon]

type hint where though?

[sick birch]

in the __init__

[blazing beacon]

oh in __init__?

[sick birch]

yes

[blazing beacon]

thanks

[sick birch]

type it bot: commands.Bot

or your bot subclass if you're doing that

[blazing beacon]

ye

[woeful karma]

async def membercount(ctx):
    embed = discord.Embed(
        title="Member Count!",
        description=f"Totel memers: {ctx.guild.member_count}",
        color=discord.Color.blue(),
    )
    await ctx.send(embed=embed)```

Anyone know what is wrong with this?

[sick birch]

better to typehint it in the arguments

though that should still work iirc

[blazing beacon]

it does work so ill leave it for now

[karmic elk]

discord.ext.commands.errors.ExtensionNotFound: Extension 'src.moderation' could not be loaded.
getting this error for some reason
ive rechecked the path, there is a setup function for every file yet it gives this error
it was working before but now suddenly this starts happening

[upbeat otter]

what's the full traceback

[karmic elk]

[upbeat otter]

is the file path correct?

can I see the moderaion file?

[karmic elk]

https://pastebin.pl/view/6864aedd

[karmic elk]

yep i made a src folder in which all the cog files r present

[sick birch]

can you show your file structure?

[sick birch]

perhaps try adding an __init__.py to make it a package?

[karmic elk]

wdym?

nvm it works now when i manually add the cogs in the main.py file

why wasnt it working before tho?

[upbeat otter]

this is really weird
try asking in the dpy server
discord.gg/dpy

[timber dragon]

Probably a CWD moment

[woeful karma]

..

[upbeat otter]

whats the error

[woeful karma]

leme check again

[upbeat otter]

ok found the problem

you're using a slash command

[woeful karma]

Yeah..

[upbeat otter]

so instead of ctx: Context, you have to use a Interaction

[woeful karma]

Ohhh

[upbeat otter]

so like

@...
async def slash(inter: Interaction):
   await inter.response.defer() #Sends an initial response if your command logic takes more than 3 seconds to process)

   await inter.edit_original_response(embed=embed)```
