[wheat thunder]

In this blog, author say do not sync commands in setup_hook or on_ready,
but. how can I call await function? use asyncio?

[turbid condor]

I don't think that's possible not sure but haven't seen such feature in any bots that i used

[turbid condor]

you can use asyncio.run() but by that he meant use a prefix command to sync your slash commands

[wheat thunder]

ok, I'll try making 2 command with index and without index

[turbid condor]

Instead of making it two commands why not make it ask for an id if index is selected?

[wheat thunder]

then, I need to use command every time when I run this bot?

[wheat thunder]

modal?

[turbid condor]

Sure you can use that

[turbid condor]

No only need to run it when:

• you add new slash commands
• update the description of any existing command
• change the parameters of any command

[wheat thunder]

I'm going to use this command while replying to a message that contains an image file.

So, I'll only need to use modal to ask if there are multiple images together

[turbid condor]

You can use buttons for that too that would look more user friendly

[wheat thunder]

Ah, so once registered, the information about the slash command is registered in the guild,
and if you call it the same way, you don't need to modify it even if the logic of the command changes?

[turbid condor]

Yeah as long as parameters are same

The implementation doesn't matter

[wheat thunder]

I see it now

how it works

[stoic tusk]

ah alr

[vernal moth]

what is the best player to make music discord bot?

[wanton current]

wavelink

[vernal moth]

im using ffmpeg but its have alot problems

[timber dragon]

Use wavelink.

[vernal moth]

i will try to change it ot wavelink tysm

[fast osprey]

Unless you're hosting it and it's royalty free, may want to refer to the terms of service

[vernal moth]

im hosting on a rdp

[fast osprey]

As in where the music is coming from

[vernal moth]

oh

is there any anthore players than wavelink because idk how to change the player its so hard

[lean juniper]

is there an attribute for channel id in message from discord.py? i can only find the channel name in the documentation

[sick birch]

message.channel.id

[harsh orbit]

can you give me example of how to use channel overwrites in dict?

[timber dragon]

ovs = {
    some_Member: discord.PermissionsOverwrite(manage_guild=False, send_messages=None, use_external_apps=True)
   sone_Role:  ...,
    ...
}
channel.edit(overwrites=ovs)

True = ✅
None =
False = ❌

[harsh orbit]

thank you

[lean juniper]

are you able to access cogs in other cogs

oh wait u r

how do i do that

[golden portal]

just get the instance of the cog

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.get_cog

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.get\_cog

get_cog(name, /)```
Gets the cog instance requested.

If the cog is not found, `None` is returned instead.

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

[wheat thunder]

Do you ever create and use your own error classes?

classes CustomException(Exception):
def str(self):
...
def repr(self):
...

I thought I'd make something like this and use repr for logger and str for ctx.send

[scarlet tiger]

use the logging module

[wheat thunder]

"I wanted the error to include both a message for the logging module and an error message for the user.

How do I post long chords in this discord?

pastebin?

[rapid vale]

how to solve this

[wheat thunder]

I think you use bot.load_extension not using 'await'

[rapid vale]

ii tried everything man

[wheat thunder]

ok

[rapid vale]

like should i showw code?

[wheat thunder]

Show it
others can see it and help you

[rapid vale]

it doesnt lemme paste it'

[wheat thunder]

too long?

[rapid vale]

ye

how to use paste bin

so the real problem occured when i tried to seperate the files

so the original one was index.py right
and i wanted to make the code in index.py move to a different file called searh.py but when i tried to do that thats when this error kept coming

like other wise if i leave it in index.py it starts working

its like this

my index.py

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/KBTA

[rapid vale]

my card_search.py

@wheat thunder

[wheat thunder]

The only cause I know of is this.

bot.load_extension(extension) is not running as await

I'm not sure of any other causes

[scarlet tiger]

Don't use the requests module in a discord bot

[wheat thunder]

Is there a reason? I used a request to save an image from a discord link.

Shouldn't I also use urllib too?

[scarlet tiger]

It is not async, if the request is delayed your bot will be blocked

[twilit grotto]

recommend using aiohttp

[scarlet tiger]

yeah

[wheat thunder]

I hadn't thought of that at all.

I had forgotten about aiohttp for so long.

[scarlet tiger]

In a bot that is very small, the blocking is not noticeable. But if your bot has a lot of traffic it will be a problem.

[wheat thunder]

It's for a private server, but I'd appreciate the advice

[rapid vale]

ok but how do i fix that error?

[rapid vale]

are you able to fix the code and send me?

[rapid vale]

ok but the error is still there

[scarlet tiger]

The error you showed has nothing to do with any request. It was just a suggestion

[rapid vale]

ok so when i run it the command doesnt work then

[scarlet tiger]

Are you loading the extensions correctly?

[rapid vale]

yes

do u want to join the server or smth?

or dm?

[mild token]

how i can make sub commands ?

inside cog

[wheat thunder]

sub commands?

[mild token]

i mean one base command and inside that other sub commands

[wheat thunder]

I tried to do the similar behavior with Choice, but it failed.

[mild token]

class say(commands.GroupCog):
    def __init__(self, client: commands.Bot):
        self.client = client (client or bot depending on which you use)



    @app_commands.command(name="message")
    async def message()
      .....

    @app_commands.command(name="embed")
    async def embed()

is giving class name lowercase is good practice?

https://www.pythondiscord.com/pages/guides/python-guides/app-commands/#an-example-with-a-group-subclass @wheat thunder i found this

only issue i see its making the base uwu not getting used

[golden portal]

because you can't use the group, discord api doesnt support them, also using GroupCog, you should follow PEP 8 for the naming convention, i.e do this instead ```py
class Say(GroupCog, group_name="say"):
...

[upbeat otter]

isn't it just name=... or do they both work?

[mild token]

yeah i did that

[golden portal]

group_name kwargs affects only your application name not the cog

name kwarg affect both

[timber dragon]

You don't really to specify the group name separately

The cog's name is lowered etc to fit the requirements and set as group_name
https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/discord%2Fext%2Fcommands%2Fcog.py#L188

[golden portal]

i see, it should mention that in the docs

[weak summit]

guys, im sorry. did someone know how to host a telegram/discord bot 24/7 for free?

[slate swan]

You don't

[golden portal]

if you have a phone, host em in your phone :3

[slate swan]

Nah don't do that, it's even worse

[past spire]

async def say(ctx):
    message = ctx.messages.content.remove_prefix(bot.command_prefix)
    await ctx.send(f'{message}')```
what am i doing wrong??

it is not removing the prefix

[slate swan]

remove_prefix is not a thing

[past spire]

what do i do then? 🤔

[slate swan]

ctx.message.content is of type str and it doesn't have a remove_prefix method on it, can't invent new methods

[past spire]

ohh

[slate swan]

Considering your command is say, why not put a parameter and make it !say bla bla bla

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

[past spire]

*args?

[slate swan]

For example yeah

[past spire]

@bot.command()
async def test(ctx,arg1,arg2):
    res = test(arg1,arg2)
    await ctx.send(res)
``` what am i doing wrong here?
test is in another file

[timber dragon]

That is calling the command

a = 1
a = 2
print(a) # 2

[past spire]

i see, it works

[wheat thunder]

How does everyone implement data storage?
Json? Yaml? or SQLite?

[glad cradle]

yeah you should use a proper database, like Sqlite, postgresql etc...

but if the data that you are storing is permanent, eg. config file, constants etc.. you can use a json file or whatever thing that you prefer

[glad cradle]

i mean data the you are not meant ever to edit during bots lifecycle

[wheat thunder]

from abc import ABC, abstractmethod


class Model(ABC):
    @classmethod
    @abstractmethod
    def from_dict(cls, dict_: dict) -> "Model": ...

    @abstractmethod
    def to_dict(self) -> dict: ...

I implemented the data to inherit from this Model.

I did this to store it in json, I will look into storing the data in sqlite. Thanks.

[wheat thunder]

If I use db, Do I need to make manager class for database?

[spice seal]

Ello is dpy up to date?

[wanton current]

yes

[spice seal]

You can use SQLite3, aiosqlite,MySQL,postgresql(not preferred) but I personally like mongodb and ssqlite 3

[spice seal]

Ohk ty

[wanton current]

why is psql not preferred

[spice seal]

It's required to get downloaded on your pc and alot of more stuff err

[wanton current]

yeah, because it's a server, same as MySQL

[wheat thunder]

If I use sqlite3, do I need to use asyncio separately or do I use aiosqlite?

And should I also use sqlalchemy?

[spice seal]

Asyncio is builtin python module

You don't need to install sqlalchemy

[spice seal]

Remember aiosqlite and sqlite3 are different libraries though both have same properties and both are RDBMS they are different

@wanton current How much storage does a average SQLite3 database take up?

[spice seal]

Yep

I mean for a discord bot

[wanton current]

i mean, sqlite is the only database, aiosqlite and sqlite3 are just python interfaces to communicate with the database

[spice seal]

Maximum how much

[spice seal]

Yeh

[wheat thunder]

But if I want to manipulate SQLite directly, do I need to use sql?

It's not that I don't know how to use it, but I'm not familiar with

[wanton current]

depends on how much you store but it's really lightweight

[past spire]

im also working on sqlite 3 right now, just started

[wanton current]

sqlite3 is the python library, the database is just called SQLite

[spice seal]

They are different languages I'm telling you.
SQL is different

[past spire]

yes, you need to use sql commands and pass it using cursor in and execute the command

[spice seal]

A dude said it takes like 600mb space

[wanton current]

it's a database if you have a lot of stuff in it, it will take up a lot of storage

[past spire]

are you asking size of the database? or the module?

[spice seal]

Ik like how much can a economy bot like dank memer take up?

[spice seal]

Database not module

[past spire]

database size depends on the data

[wheat thunder]

I had some experience manipulating sqlite with pydantic and sqlalchemy in fastapi,
so I thought I'd try the same approach.

[wanton current]

i don't know, they probably only store text rows in the database so

[past spire]

can take 1kb to mbs

[wanton current]

They have millions of rows so probably not 1kb

[past spire]

economy bot database? arre you gonna store all transaction information?

[wanton current]

if we're talking about dank memer

[glad cradle]

yes, be sure to use an async db driver to not block your Bot's loop

[wanton current]

use asqlite or aiosqlite

for sqlite

or asyncpg for postgres

[finite salmon]

postgres 🔛🔝

[wanton current]

fr

[past spire]

i have a code that can enter random numbers in the database, can you estimate how many users will be there so i can double them and then send you the size of database?

[wanton current]

why

[finite salmon]

why fr

[past spire]

lmao

[spice seal]

Let's say 100mb?

[spice seal]

Wdym lol

[past spire]

you neet to wait cuz im adding 150 million random data in a test.db file to estimate the size lmao

[spice seal]

Don't! It will crash the internet

[past spire]

how? it's running locally lol

[finite salmon]

There are many variables you don't know so itll be hard to average it out

[wanton current]

also it doesnt matter lol

[spice seal]

Yeh there are 150+ items

[wanton current]

that's nothing

[spice seal]

2 balance and bank variables

20 settings

and alot more which my mind can't understand 😭

[finite salmon]

They probably have wayy over 1 database and I'm very sure they use cloud db so they don't need to worry too much about scaling and they also have a dedicated website which also has their own db

[spice seal]

1db are u dumb? They have more than 200 databases

[wanton current]

cap

[finite salmon]

I just said that....

And 200 sounds kinda unrealistic tbh

[slate swan]

200 is unrealistic

[opal vortex]

tbh 1 db is perfect here

maybe up to 4

but 200 is insane

[past spire]

you can add multiple tables in one database 🥲

[opal vortex]

ye

[past spire]

that's overkill lol

[opal vortex]

I can understand if 1 db so large that it uses over 2/4 GB of RAM alone

and runs into "OOM" issues on Windows because windows limits single objects to 2~4 GB of Memory

then ye split

but 200 dbs no fucking way

[slate swan]

whoever uses windows for hosting has already problems

[past spire]

what about android? 👀

[opal vortex]

bruh people self host on windows

[slate swan]

Phone hosting is probably one of the funniest joke

[slate swan]

yeah but not sane people like dank memer developers (from where the 200 dbs idea came from)

[past spire]

cuz im doing that lmfao

[finite salmon]

Bro is really desperate

[wanton current]

why is ur data loaded into ram

[opal vortex]

some people preload their database into memory for faster grabbing of data

[wanton current]

just use a cache

[mild token]

is there a way to force user to give some parameter upon the selection from autocomplete
suppose command have a,b and c parameter

• a is autocomplete command which has d,e
  i want if d is selected then user should give b forcefully and if e is selected then user should give c

is there any way to do it?

[turbid condor]

Defer the interaction and then send your original response as a follow up

[harsh orbit]

explain please

[turbid condor]

Come to your forum

[turbid condor]

I don't think that's possible yet haven't seen it any bot or heard anyone achieving it

[harsh orbit]

how to send modal after defer?

[turbid condor]

That's the issue you can't do that as far as i know

Either send a follow-up with another button to trigger the modal or check for the blacklisted in your modal call back instead of button

[mild token]

    async def list(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, type: str, search_for: Union[discord.Member, str]) -> None:

why this?

its clearly discord.Member dont know why this is discord.member.Member

[wanton current]

because you can't have both discord.Member and string

Discord only allows one at a time

discord.member.Member is the location of the class discord/member.py

[mild token]

i wanted to check is the input is str or Member

I have this command to put someone in a blacklist by his id

How I can make it work with Id or mention?

[wanton current]

you can't do what you're currently doing with slash commands

[mild token]

: (

[harsh orbit]

ex:
!blacklist (id or mention)

[wanton current]

typehint discord.Member

[harsh orbit]

like this the Id won't work

[slate swan]

it will

[harsh orbit]

can you give example pls?

[slate swan]

Type hinting to discord.Member will make the following checks, in order:

• Lookup by ID.
• Lookup by mention.
• Lookup by username#discriminator (deprecated).
• Lookup by username#0 (deprecated, only gets users that migrated from their discriminator).
• Lookup by user name.
• Lookup by global name.
• Lookup by guild nickname

Just do user_id: discord.Member then it will always be a member object, if found/existing

by checking with the order shown above

[harsh orbit]

how to check if the member not found

[wanton current]

BadArgument error is raised

[mild token]

is it possible to type cast in discord.Member ?

[slate swan]

Why do you need to type cast if you already type hint and use the converter, it will already be a discord.Member object if it's valid, otherwise throw an error

[mild token]

i am trying to use Union but its not working

Union[discord.Member, str]

[slate swan]

Well it'll be in the order of the union, so first it'll try A then B - then you can check, no need to type cast

And if str is there for a member username or something like thay, then you don't need a union. Just type hint to discord.Menber and problem solved

[mild token]

its giving error

[mild token]

@slate swan check this

i mean the message just above

[slate swan]

Will need more code (e.g. decorator) and the full error to properly help

[mild token]

bro its erroring out in param line

[slate swan]

No need to mention me if you're not providing what I personally need to help you

Best of luck on getting the help you need

[mild token]

alright

Hey all,

I couldn't a find a topic abt telegram bots so i thought its fine if i drop my q here. right?

'from discord import automod' How do I use this?

[slate swan]

Not something that exists

At least on d.py - maybe some random fork has this

[limber jolt]

I use discord.py

It says Its correct

[slate swan]

Yeah then it doesn't exist

[limber jolt]

And does not give me a error

weird

[slate swan]

I am trying to code a bot for my shop, you are suppost to type /swish, /paypal, /ltc or /restart and the bot should answer as normal. But Insted i get ”Application didnt answer”. Could someone help me make the bot work i have tried What i can

[scarlet tiger]

Do you have any errors in the terminal?

Can i send you the code in dms

?

[scarlet tiger]

ok

[willow sluice]

Have you solved your problem? I can help

[wicked charm]

french helpers ?

[limber jolt]

I need some help!!

I have a flask server and a discord bot

But only the flask server runs

[quasi nexus]

i need help it keeps saying then when i try to give it certain permissions and run it

on discord

for the discord i mean

but i don't exactly know which privileged intents i need to enable

[merry cliff]

probably server members intent

[quasi nexus]

yes, it says something like the members intents thingie how do i fix it?

[merry cliff]

enable it on the dev portal and request it in your code

intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.members = True```

[quasi nexus]

enable which exact permission and where exactly do i put the code

i found where i put the code

but i still need the permission

[merry cliff]

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

bot = commands.Bot(intents=intents, command_prefix='!', case_insensitive=True,
activity=discord.Activity(name=STATUS, type=discord.ActivityType.listening))``` just above where bot is defined

[quasi nexus]

so the prefix can be changed?

[merry cliff]

message content for texrt commands and the like

[merry cliff]

yes

[quasi nexus]

Alr so this is good.

[merry cliff]

turn that on in dev portal

[quasi nexus]

alr

[merry cliff]

change your status

[quasi nexus]

so change it to...

[merry cliff]

anything

[quasi nexus]

man im a fricken new user idek

[merry cliff]

STATUS is a placeholder

[quasi nexus]

alright so change it to like true or smth?

[merry cliff]

a string

you know how some bots are Playing ...

the status is that

[quasi nexus]

so ONLINE would be a STATUS?

[merry cliff]

no

[quasi nexus]

Sorry, WHERe in dev portal?

[quasi nexus]

so status is a placeholder so should i put it as Playing ...

or like what shoul i put it as

[merry cliff]

https://fallendeity.github.io/discord.py-masterclass/#configuring-intents

[merry cliff]

literally any string

[merry cliff]

bot > priveleged gateway intents

[quasi nexus]

can u give me an example of what a string would be in this case

[quasi nexus]

so i could put it as discord?

Also can someone help me

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/runner/Python/main.py", line 14, in <module>
@client.event
AttributeError: module 'discord.client' has no attribute 'event'

**I know im annoying im a new user using AI 💀 **

[merry cliff]

activity=discord.Activity(name="with your mind") would result in Playing with your mind

[quasi nexus]

alright got it.

anything

[merry cliff]

pls dont use AI if ur new since u will never learn if AI oes everything for you

[merry cliff]

!paste your full code

[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.

[quasi nexus]

yeah got it

[quasi nexus]

alr

hold

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/LHBA

there u go

[quasi nexus]

@merry cliff (mb for ping)

[merry cliff]

remove from discord import client

ant chjange all @client to @bot

[quasi nexus]

alr

[quasi nexus]

Holy this is crazy i get syntax errors every 5 seconds.

Thanks for your help!

[quasi nexus]

yo so uh why does it say that my message thingie is disabled even tho its enabled. the message content one.

[merry cliff]

needs to enabled in the portal as well as the code

[quasi nexus]

its enabled in the portal so how do i enable it in the code?

i get i gotta type like Privileged message = true or some shi but like idk

[merry cliff]

intents.message_content = True shoyld just be that line

[merry cliff]

did you save after enabling it

[quasi nexus]

yes

[merry cliff]

bruh what is ctx.respond

[quick gust]

where did you copy this code from?

[merry cliff]

it's AI generated

[quasi nexus]

i changed all of it to make it chill ig?

[quick gust]

And is it working?

[quick gust]

[quasi nexus]

Yes, but like its not sending the message and it says the insights for messages aint workin

2024-07-08 08:11:21 WARNING discord.ext.commands.bot Privileged message content intent is missing, commands may not work as expected.

[merry cliff]

double check that it is enabled on the dev portal

[quasi nexus]

it is i turned it off and back on too saving it after every change

[merry cliff]

is it for the right bot?

did you restart the bot after making these changes?

[quasi nexus]

uh

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

how do i do that

it is for the right bot, how do i restart the bot

[quick gust]

close the terminal and run the python file again...

[quasi nexus]

ok

its still saying the SAME thing

[quick gust]

can u show where ure enabling them in the code?

[merry cliff]

[quick gust]

pretty sure ure doing intent.message instead of intent.message_content

[quick gust]

according to this code

[quasi nexus]

so change it to that?

[quick gust]

Yeah, that's literally what @merry cliff told u

[merry cliff]

bruh I literally gave you the correct intent before smh

how can i check if interaction user is client owner?

[golden portal]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.is_owner

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.is\_owner

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

Checks if a [`User`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.User) or [`Member`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Member) is the owner of this bot.

If an [`owner_id`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.owner_id) is not set, it is fetched automatically through the use of [`application_info()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.application_info).

Changed in version 1.3: The function also checks if the application is team-owned if [`owner_ids`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.owner_ids) is not set.

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

Changed in version 2.4: This function now respects the team member roles if the bot is team-owned. In order to be considered an owner, they must be either an admin or a developer.

[mild token]

it should fetch automatically if i didnt mentioned the user : ( i understood it

!d discord.app_commands.default_permissions

[unkempt canyon]

discord.app\_commands.default\_permissions

@discord.app_commands.default_permissions(**perms)```
A decorator that sets the default permissions needed to execute this command.

When this decorator is used, by default users must have these permissions to execute the command. However, an administrator can change the permissions needed to execute this command using the official client. Therefore, this only serves as a hint.

Setting an empty permissions field, including via calling this with no arguments, will disallow anyone except server administrators from using the command in a guild.

This is sent to Discord server side, and is not a [`check()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.check). Therefore, error handlers are not called.

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

[dense falcon]

alr great thanks

I need some help!!
I have a flask server and a discord bot
But only the flask server runs

[swift acorn]

Is it possible with discord.py to get this join method for a member, I couldn't find it in the docs

[slate swan]

no

[finite salmon]

What's that

[swift acorn]

You can see it in the members tab on Discord, it's the invite link they used to join a server

[finite salmon]

You trying to make some sort of invite tracker?

[swift acorn]

yea, I'm aware of the other method of checking the # of joins from an invite and updating on_member_join but it's not very reliable also doesn't work with one-use invites

[finite salmon]

Well yeah

Discord doesn't have any api supporting that yet

So you gotta do it the unreliable way

[swift acorn]

gotcha ty!

would be great if they added it since they have the info

i have 100 options is it a way to divide each one of them into different 4 groups automatically?

[wanton current]

you can only have 25 buttons per message

[mild token]

i want 25 options in one dropdown

which will be dynamically created on its own

[ripe yoke]

Have any of you guys used appium?

[mild token]

or is it possible to keep all 100 in one?

[ripe yoke]

I need helpwith something related to appium

[wanton current]

no you need more than 1 dropdown then

[mild token]

will it be automatically created?

[wanton current]

no

[mild token]

if i pass that many options?

[wanton current]

no it will error

[lucid ember]

Hello,
I'm trying to make an xp system that counts each message a user sends in a certain server, and add it to the text file.
The problem is, I can't figure out how to read the data according to the user's ID and check how much XP it has.

[wanton current]

Would recommend using a database instead of a text file

[sacred vigil]

^^

[lucid ember]

Yeah, I thought about that, but I want to try using the text file just for some private testing

[fast osprey]

Why would you test something you have no plan to deploy?

[slate swan]

Can someone knowledgeable ping me?

any link or advice on 24/7 hosting even when my computer is off?

[scarlet tiger]

digital ocean offers a free trial

[lean juniper]

i do not want to pay at all

it is a small bot only for 1 server

[scarlet tiger]

I think there are no free services, anyway they charge you even if it is minimal

[lean juniper]

😭

[scarlet tiger]

you can do some research on google and find a free service

[lean juniper]

https://infosecwriteups.com/running-discord-bots-24-7-for-free-with-replit-and-uptime-robot-43caebb0cb60 i came across this link

is it legit?

[wanton current]

please don't use repl.it

[lean juniper]

why?

[fast osprey]

Think about this critically for a few minutes. Why would someone pay their money to run your bot for you, a service you could make money off of, free of charge forever

[lean juniper]

i dont plan on making any money off of it, its only for one server. i asked someone else and they said they used a vps to host the bot, is that better

[wanton current]

yes

[lean juniper]

how much experience is needed to make one

[wanton current]

not much, you just need to know basic linux and there are many guides

[fast osprey]

do X in Linux searches will pretty much always get you what you need

[jade kraken]

can someone please help me i keep getting this error

yet i have it enabled

[wanton current]

Did you enable it in the code?

[jade kraken]

how do i do that

[lean juniper]

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

[wanton current]

!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.

[fervent bloom]

how can i host my discord bot

like 24/7 for free

[nocturne dove]

@fervent bloom idk if it work but

u can find something on google

[uncut mural]

Is there a way to not process an interaction.response in the callback when an item is selected in a discord.ui.Select?

[fervent bloom]

oooh

[uncut mural]

using discord.py

[finite salmon]

Why so

[karmic oriole]

how do i delete a webhook? im making temp webhooks command here is the code i have...

bothook = None
bothook = await ctx.channel.create_webhook(name=bot.user.name)
ctx.reply(f"Creating temporary webhook with url {bothook}")
bothook = bothook.url
time.sleep(300)
#delete webhook
ctx.reply("Deleting temporary webhook")

[uncut mural]

I'm trying to create a simple character creation app just to play around with. I send the user a message containing a view with two select items and a button item. If the user selects an option in one of the select items I have to process an interaction response or the selection doesn't occur. I don't want to have to send a message to the user saying the selected the items until after they have selected something from both select items and have pressed the button. I have looked into interaction_check but I'm not sure how to get it to do what I want.

@finite salmon Sorry I don't use discord much so I forget some of the features

[finite salmon]

Well you have to respond to an interaction no matter what, and I don't think interaction_check is what you would be looking for.

The closet you can get to that is to send an ephemeral message to the user so they can dismiss it and not flood the chat

[uncut mural]

I was afraid of that. I thought about also splitting each selection into its own message then chain the messages but that seems silly.

[sick birch]

!d discord.InteractionResponse.defer

[unkempt canyon]

discord.InteractionResponse.defer

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

Defers the interaction response.

This is typically used when the interaction is acknowledged and a secondary action will be done later.

This is only supported with the following interaction types...

[sick birch]

you can use this to respond to an interaction but not send a message or do anything else

[uncut mural]

I've been messing with that now. For some reason I thought I read in the documentation that it you had to followup on a deferred interaction but now I realize after looking at the docs again that it's only if you have thinking to true. I was trying to make this way more complicated than necessary. Thanks.

I was able to get it working now. Hooray!

[past spire]

can anyone guide me with aiosqlite??

[slate swan]

Ask clear questions in #databases

Not just "can someone help me with x"

[past spire]

what if i wanted help with aiosqlite library whole so i can set it up in discord bot

[merry cliff]

have you ever used an SQL db before?

[past spire]

yes

i tried sqlite3 also

i want it to be asynchronous for discord bot

[merry cliff]

it's the exact same as sqlite3 just async

[past spire]

oh, but i still need to understand how it works, and syntax stuff also

[scarlet tiger]

It is the same as sqlite3 but uses await in its functions or methods

sqlite3:

with sqlite3.connect("database.db") as conn:
    c = conn.cursor() 
    c.execute(...)
    

aiosqlite:

async with aiosqlite.connect("database.db") as conn:
   async with conn.cursor() as c: 
       await c.execute(...)

[past spire]

oh, so, is it faster than sqlite3?

[scarlet tiger]

It's the same but aiosqlite controls queries and traffic better because it is async and your Discord bot is not blocked

[past spire]

ohh

with sqlite3, it need to perform action before continuing, but with aiosqlite, it can handle multiple queries at a single time just like the bot does with multiple users 🤔 is that what you mean?

[scarlet tiger]

Yes, with sqlite3 it first waits for a query to finish and then continues but aiosqlite can handle other queries

It also prevents other functions from being stopped

[past spire]

i see, i'll do that for my bot now

[mild token]

which event is passed when new thread gets open?

[finite salmon]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html?highlight=on_ready#discord.on_thread_create

[lucid ember]

Huh? I do plan to use a database in the future, but currently I just wanna use the text file for local saves, nothing that affects discord server users etc..

[fast osprey]

Not sure what you mean by "local save" or how this relates to what we were talking about. You should never use flat files to record shifting data generated by your application, ever

You can of course do that and deprioritize it. Just like you can add a random number generator that randomly deletes your database sometimes when you start up, which is effectively what this amounts to. Your decision on priorities of course but this should be priority number one that you then build features on top of, not the other way around

[slate swan]

Hey guys none of my slash commands are showing i made a support faq thing here: https://discord.com/channels/267624335836053506/1260229311907102760

[boreal sigil]

have you registered them

Guys my bot wont respond to prefix commands, only slash commands. (I use hybrid cmds)
No terminal errors
Code worked yesterday
Not made any changes since
Code will be pasted

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/ZE3A

[hushed galleon]

the last on_message handler you have is overriding your on_message at the top, preventing it from calling process_commands()

[boreal sigil]

how do I fix it?

[hushed galleon]

i suggest using listeners instead cause you can have multiple for the same event without conflicting with each other, e.g. ```py
@bot.listen("on_message")
async def on_good_bot(message: discord.Message):
if "Good bot" in message.content:
await message.channel.send(":happycat:")

@bot.listen("on_message")
async def on_bad_bot(message: discord.Message):
if "Bad bot" in message.content:
await message.channel.send(":kittybomb:")```

[wanton current]

:kittybomb:

[hushed galleon]

you dont have to refactor it that much, but @bot.event only allows a maximum of 1 handler per event so all your other on_messages should be listeners

[hushed galleon]

i love it when discord replaces custom emoji in codeblocks /s

[boreal sigil]

alr tysm

[boreal sigil]

[boreal sigil]

i was using those, but I was told by someone it was bad and messy

[wanton current]

they're telling you to use @bot.listen() where bot is your bot instance, but you're using the class discord.ext.commands.Bot

[boreal sigil]

ohh

[limber jolt]

Im using VScode for my discord bot using ffmpeg but when I try do play a track I get:

why this self.clear_items() dont clear buttons?

[wanton current]

You're not editing the mesage with the new, edited view

[mild token]

await interaction.response.edit_message(content=None, embed=embed) isnt this editing it?

oh wait view

you need to pass view=self

just wondering on_timeout says self.message is not valid what should be there?

i am using view button

[wanton current]

well, do you define a self.message?

[mild token]

i dont think i did , i was looking at danny example folder from github copied and tried it , dont know now why this dont work

[wanton current]

eg.

view = View()
view.message = await ctx.send(view=view)

[mild token]

class SyncUpdate(discord.ui.View):

        print(list(interaction.message.embeds[0]._fields[0].values())[0])
        self.clear_items()
        embed = Embed()
        embed.description = f"Time has been set in API: {

        embed.color = discord.Color.green()
        await interaction.response.edit_message(content=None, embed=embed, view=self)
        self.stop()

this is my sync view i wanted at timeout i just wanted to clear item and then edit the original message

like is there a way to know on which button this timeout is happening?

then i get its object and find the embed

[wanton current]

The timeout is on the view

[mild token]

how can i get on which embed its happening?

i want to edit the embed on which it is applied

[wanton current]

what do you mean?

the timeout is on the view, which is on the message

[mild token]

then self.message should work?

[wanton current]

yes, if you define it like this

[mild token]

hmm let me define it like this then

[limber jolt]

then how i should attach to the view?

that i want to edit this message?

[wanton current]

try that https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/interactions/api.html?highlight=original_response#discord.Interaction.original_response

[mild token]

so self.message.original_response?

[wanton current]

No

set view.message = original_response

[mild token]

ok

@wanton current u r genius dude

[quick gust]

He is

[boreal sigil]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/LFNA my welcome messages aren’t working

[slate swan]

for some bots they mute a user by simply removing its send message permission for a set of time, and not by given time out function

by doing so, you might have control over what you want the user to see, for example you might create a channel specific for muted members to get help in, however when coding this, how you gonna remove a permission for someone for a period of time, how u gonna tell the bot that for x seconds, remove permission for this user

[fast osprey]

IMO these systems are overkill and pretty brittle when people can just dm a mod if they actually have a concern while they're timed out

Otherwise your bot is responsible for tracking and executing when that unwinding needs to happen, and if something goes wrong they just never do

[slim bloom]

How can I use 3 tasks for a command of my discord bot?

I don't think there's a way on phone

[torn solar]

how do i do these tab completions

[slate swan]

They're choices

[torn solar]

async def register(ctx: discord.Interaction):
    await ctx.response.send_modal(RegisterModal())```

thats my command how do i add them

dont say nothing about the interaction being named ctx btw its old code

[slate swan]

Use Google, there are countless examples

[torn solar]

idk what its exactly called

[slate swan]

...

[torn solar]

thats it?

[slate swan]

Yes

!d discord.app_commands.Choice

[unkempt canyon]

discord.app\_commands.Choice

class discord.app_commands.Choice(*, name, value)```
Represents an application command argument choice.

New in version 2.0.

x == y Checks if two choices are equal.

x != y Checks if two choices are not equal.

hash(x) Returns the choice’s hash.

[torn solar]

i use bot.tree.command

[slate swan]

Doesn't change anything, search up for examples

[torn solar]

yeah tried but literally everyone uses app commands i cant find an example for tree commands

[sick birch]

should be the same thing

[slate swan]

Yeah just type hint the same and add the decorator, doesn't change anything

[torn solar]

@app_commands.choices(accounts=[
    
])
async def register(ctx: discord.Interaction):
    await ctx.response.send_modal(RegisterModal())```

like that?

[sick birch]

yeah but that would be empty

personally I don't like using that method to make choices

[torn solar]

yeah ik

wdym

[sick birch]

there are some better ways to make choices:
option 1:

from typing import Literal

@bot.tree.command(...)
async def my_command(interaction: discord.Interaction, choices: Literal["choice1", "choice2", "choice3"]) -> None:
  ...

Option 2:

from enum import Enum, auto

class Choices(Enum):
  choice1 = auto()
  choice2 = auto()
  choice3 = auto()

@bot.tree.command(...)
async def my_command(interaction: discord.Interaction, choices: Choices) -> None:
  ...

[torn solar]

what do i need to import for option 1

Literal not found

[sick birch]

are you on an older version of python

[torn solar]

lemme checkj

[torn solar]

whats the command to check version

[sick birch]

are you on windows

[torn solar]

ye

[sick birch]

py -0

[torn solar]

3.10-64

im on 3.10

am i outdated

[sick birch]

that should be fine

typing.Literal was introduced in 3.8

[torn solar]

then why it aint workin lol

[quick gust]

did u not import it?

[torn solar]

theyre saying u dont have to

whats the import for it

[quick gust]

Well u have to import what Robin imported

[torn solar]

whats the import for Literal

[sick birch]

from typing import Literal

[quick gust]

from typing import Literal, it's there in the code

[torn solar]

oh im tweaking

its 1 am my bad

[sick birch]

uh i think union syntax was introduced in 3.10 so you should also be able to use "choice1" | "choice2" | "choice3"

[torn solar]

does the syntax matter or no

[sick birch]

no i believe it's the same

[fast pier]

How do i save the state of buttons (py, interactions library)

[dusky pine]

isn't x: "Anything" = 7 also equal to x: Anything = 7

[timber dragon]

Pretty sure that isn't possible?

Isn't the pipe thing only for Unions

[timber dragon]

Technically yes but also not really but also yes and no but sometimes yes

[slow pumice]

        class FairnessView(discord.ui.View):
            def __init__(self, custom_id, fairness_results):
                self.custom_id = custom_id
                self.fairness_results = fairness_results
                super().__init__(timeout=None)

                async def button_callback(self, button, interaction: discord.Interaction):
                    await interaction.respond(fairness_results)

Inside of a command: 

await msg.edit(embed=embed, view=FairnessView(random_id, fairness_results=result))
self.bot.add_view(FairnessView(random_id, result))```
why exactly does the view not get edited into the msg

this is in pycord so im not sure if thats supported herew

[wanton current]

your button is inside the init

@slow pumice

[slow pumice]

yup i fixed it and:

        class FairnessView(discord.ui.View):
            def __init__(self, custom_id, fairness_results):
                super().__init__(timeout=None)
                self.custom_id = custom_id
                self.fairness_results = fairness_results

                # Define and add the button in the init method
                button = discord.ui.Button(
                    label='Provably Fair',
                    custom_id=self.custom_id,
                    style=discord.ButtonStyle.grey,
                    emoji='✔️'
                )
                button.callback = self.button_callback
                self.add_item(button)

            async def button_callback(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):
                await interaction.response.send_message(str(self.fairness_results), ephemeral=True)

In my command (which is in a cog):
fairness_view = FairnessView(random_id, fairness_results=result)
await ctx.edit(embed=embed, view=fairness_view)
self.bot.add_view(fairness_view)```

The view is in-fact not persistent

[wanton current]

Did you do everything that is done in this? https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/examples/views/persistent.py

[mild token]

is it possible to allow multiple choice in auto complete?

[wanton current]

you can have 25 at once, but since it's an autocomplete you can have unlimited

[mild token]

i meant i want one parameter to allow 2,3 inputs from auto complete

[wanton current]

oh

[mild token]

yes

is it possible?

[wanton current]

i think so

[mild token]

how can i do that i need to take param as list type?

[wanton current]

autocomplete only works for str, int, float

[mild token]

: (

is there any other way?

[wanton current]

but you cold probably make it a str depending on what data you have

[mild token]

mainly i wanted auto complete bcz i dont want user to messup input

[wanton current]

they can still enter whatever they want with an autocomplete, they are only suggestions https://i.itswilli.dev/fYSUalgqbi.png

[mild token]

but mine forces them

like i tried to enter another thing

it didnt allowed them to enter

@wanton current see

it will not allow to send another thing apart from suggested item

[wanton current]

What if you press enter

[mild token]

it will not allow me to enter

one sec let me ss this

@wanton current

[wanton current]

weird

[mild token]

see

[wanton current]

anyway

[mild token]

i want to enter 2,3 choices from the list

[wanton current]

then have 2,3 parameters

[mild token]

: ( i wanted that from one parameter

[wanton current]

or make parameters so they are "x, y, z", "a, b, c"

[mild token]

i thought from choosing from suggestion

[wanton current]

or the options

[mild token]

hmm let me try whether it accept list or not

[wanton current]

make the suggestions already pair 3 of them

[mild token]

hmm this can be a possibility but it will increase very frequently if leagues keep on getting added

[wanton current]

i guess

[mild token]

if i have select menu which is sent with a interaction and doesnt have a persisten view without check other member can use that select menu?

[wanton current]

what?

[mild token]

i mean if i use command and bot attached select menu on my message can other user interact with that command?

or check is applied by default that only command invoker can use select menu?

[wanton current]

there is no check by default

you have to create your own interaction_check

[mild token]

ok

how can i apply check on this as both called interaction

: (

[wanton current]

async def interaction_check(self, interaction: discord.Interaction) -> bool:
    return interaction.user.id == self.user_id```

[mild token]

tnxxxxx

[wanton current]

make sure you define self.user_id

[mild token]

actually i am sending the select menu from within the command its not a very huge check

    @app_commands.command(name="restrict", description='Use to restrict ')
    async def restrict(self, interaction: discord.Interaction) -> None:
        options = [
            discord.SelectOption(label="Option 1", value="option1"),
            discord.SelectOption(label="Option 2", value="option2"),
            discord.SelectOption(label="Option 3", value="option3")

            placeholder="Select an option", options=options, max_values=1)
        await interaction.response.send_message(content=f"{select}", view=a)

is it a good way?

[wanton current]

does your view have an interaction_check?

by default it's

async def interaction_check(interaction) -> bool:
    return True

[mild token]

class LeagueSelect(ViewErrorHandler):
    def __init__(self, user: discord.User):
        super().__init__()
        self.user = user

        options = [
            discord.SelectOption(label="Option 1", value="option1"),
            discord.SelectOption(label="Option 2", value="option2"),
            discord.SelectOption(label="Option 3", value="option3")
        ]

        # Increase max_values to allow selecting multiple options
        select = discord.ui.Select(
            placeholder="Select options", options=options, max_values=3
        )
        self.add_item(select)

    async def callback(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):
        print(interaction)
        if interaction.user.id == self.user.id:
            selected_options = interaction.data['values']
            await interaction.response.send_message(f"You selected: {', '.join(selected_options)}")
        else:
            await interaction.response.send_message("You cannot interact with this select menu.")

why there is no callback getting triggered?

[mild token]

i coded like above

    @app_commands.command(name="restrict", description='Use to restrict ')
    async def restrict(self, interaction: discord.Interaction) -> None:

        view = LeagueSelect(interaction.user.id)
        await interaction.response.send_message("Please select options:", view=view)

i solved it

[fervent surge]

does anyone know why I'm unable to access message.content even after granting the bot the message content intent?

[wanton current]

did you do it in the code too?

[drowsy thunder]

Hello everyone I have a question that.
How can I update a SQLite3 database in a set of time such as a planned event in the db where the person's role gets removed in 3 days

[slate swan]

-# Formatting 101

mmmmmmh

-#

[drowsy thunder]

Bro answer my question else shut up tbh cuz your acting weird

[boreal sigil]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/LFNA my welcome messages aren’t working

[hearty basalt]

cause they have a 1 in 1000 chance of working lmao

from your code:

@bot.event
async def on_member_join(member):
    rollnum = random.randint(1, 1000)
    if rollnum == 1000:
      # logic 
    else:
      return

[dusky pine]

else return is useless

oh nvm they have extra logic

[random nacelle]

When I try to use python --version in VS it says I dont have python installed. I clrealy do though.

[hearty basalt]

oh i didnt even see the other welcome embed

uh now idk

[boreal sigil]

i meant it to be that if its a 1/1000 it sends a special embed, but if it isnt it sends the normal one

[slate swan]

You return, so it stops the execution of the entire function

[boreal sigil]

ohhh

ik how to fix it then

[boreal sigil]

so this is correct?

Great - Tysm for the easy help

[slate swan]

get_channel gets from cache though, so if the channel is not cached it may not send the messages

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.fetch_channel

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.fetch\_channel

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

Retrieves a [`abc.GuildChannel`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.abc.GuildChannel), [`abc.PrivateChannel`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.abc.PrivateChannel), or [`Thread`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Thread) with the specified ID.

Note

This method is an API call. For general usage, consider [`get_channel()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.get_channel) instead.

New in version 1.2.

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

[slate swan]

This will make an API call so you want to first try to get from cache, else make the API call

Something like

e = bot.get_channel(id) or await bot.fetch_channel(id)

So that it first tries to get from the cache and if it returns None (channel not in cache) then it will make the API call. Hence the or in the middle

!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.

My +lock +unlock cmds arent working, and likely more cmds too

[boreal sigil]

good bot

[mild token]

discord.errors.NotFound: 404 Not Found (error code: 10062): Unknown interaction
for this error is there a better way to handle it?

using the same command again solves this

[golden portal]

you get that error if you're late at responding the interaction (>3 seconds)

[flat pier]

that on message event needs to process commands

[boreal sigil]

how can i make it process commands?

[flat pier]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/faq.html#why-does-on-message-make-my-commands-stop-working

[boreal sigil]

thanks

[flat pier]

that doesn't look like your message event code in the paste above

[boreal sigil]

its some of it

thats the 'unhide' command

[flat pier]

yeah that's not the message event you have in the beginning of your paste

that's a command

[boreal sigil]

what

[flat pier]

u need to process commaands here

in the event rather than the commands

remove the else block and process commands there

[fast osprey]

Or just use listeners instead of an event

[boreal sigil]

im not asking about that code

i was asking about lock/unlock

[flat pier]

you said none of your commands work?

[boreal sigil]

nope

i said my lock/unlock and maybe hide/unhide doesnt work

wait

nvm none of my commands work

[boreal sigil]

correct

[flat pier]

then doing what i said above should fix it, but better yet use a listener as solstice said

[wanton current]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.listen

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.listen

@listen(name=None)```
A decorator that registers another function as an external event listener. Basically this allows you to listen to multiple events from different places e.g. such as [`on_ready()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.on_ready)

The functions being listened to must be a [coroutine](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Example...

[flat pier]

yeah (you saw nothing willi)

[boreal sigil]

ok

[boreal sigil]

so the dm message bit is screwing everything up?

[flat pier]

yes whenever you use Bot.event you have to process commands afterwards that way your commands get triggered, using a listener will solve this problem

[boreal sigil]

so @bot.event changes to @listen(name=None)

hold up i did that wrong

all works now! ty

[flat pier]

no problem

[open cobalt]

hey

yall approve this? : ```py
def search_keyword(self, keyword):

for keys, values in response[0].items():
embed_search.add_field(name="", value=f"{keys} : {values}", inline=False)

    return embed_search

[wanton current]

what if there isn't a response[0]

[open cobalt]

ok should I try except or if response[0] is None?

[wanton current]

or check

[open cobalt]

response is a list[dict]

Guys are your working with the ext or not? currently I started with discord bot docs and I am not using the extension

[wanton current]

ext.commands?

[neon olive]

If your started just to create discord bots try a little easlyes library's maybe like discord.py

[wheat thunder]

I think this topic belongs in the database section, but can I ask it here?

I'm trying to use sqlalchemy to read information from the db when I first start, classify it, and then synchronize it to the db when modifications are made.

Is this better than just using sqlalchemy from the start?

Entity only vs Entity(sqlalchemy) - Model(real use)

[slate swan]

It's a question for #databases, not here, as you said

[wheat thunder]

I'm sorry, I know, but I asked because no one answered.

[fast osprey]

You should stick to the right place for your question and be patient

[wheat thunder]

I'll be careful next time

[boreal sigil]

hey guys - I want to make my code more organised so I can actually work with it better - I want to split it into multiple files.
Eg. script.py = the imports, bot.run, bot.load_extension("cogs.maincog") etc
rng.py = roll command, coinflip command
mod.py = kick, ban, unban, mute, unmute, warn, unwarn, warns, etc
and likely more, but thats what came to mind.
During this, I'm also tryna use cogs cuz Im also tryna make a better help menu, and I basically want each of the files to have its cog thing. Ive read how to use cogs, and understand em, but mainly want to know how to have a separate cog for each file, and to have multiple files for different commands / bits of code.

Can somebody explain to me how I can split my code into multiple files and it all still work?

[wheat thunder]

Cog?

[open cobalt]

yall, I ve started with the docs of discord py should I use use ext commands?

or is it for advanced users?

for the start I think I use just discord. py and its events etc

maybe when I am comfortable using this library I am going to start with ext commands

[vocal plover]

personally I'd recommend getting into using ext.commands soon, or you'll build bad habits not using it. ext.commands is the idiomatic way to write bots with commands using dpy/its forks, so learning it is pretty important

[open cobalt]

hey, thanks for your respond ok then I might look into it

[vocal plover]

there's an initial learning curve for sure, but it does end up making development way easier

[open cobalt]

currently working with the on_message event for commands

[fast osprey]

The commands extension will be much, much cleaner. Though you may also wish to look into implementing slash commands instead (which is a different system and module)

[boreal sigil]

yeah

[fast osprey]

Also cogs have nothing to do with external files

[boreal sigil]

ik

i basically want each of the comands external files to being in a certain cog

[fast osprey]

and you do not need cogs for that. That is a completely separate concept

[boreal sigil]

thats what I meant - sorry if it was a bit unclear

i know...

[fast osprey]

You can put code in whichever files you would like, it's the same as any python application using imports. If those other files would make use of getting a reference to your bot, you can make those files as extensions

[boreal sigil]

so I can just stick the code in other files and its fine?

[fast osprey]

Yeah it works the same as any python application. Dpy isn't special

[boreal sigil]

great ok thanks

[scarlet badge]

when i enter py main.py in terminal in vs code it does nothing can someone give a solution pls

[fast osprey]

The extension framework exists to make it a bit cleaner to reload files and to give those files a reference to your bot, but it is not a requirement by any stretch

[boreal sigil]

try just pressing the run button

[scarlet badge]

now this error

[boreal sigil]

ah

[open cobalt]

you need to clarify the intents

the bot client has a para for intents=

[boreal sigil]

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='!', intents=intents)```

[open cobalt]

yes$

yes

[boreal sigil]

you didnt add the prefix

i made a mistake in the code and edited it lmao

[scarlet badge]

oh my bad lol

[fast osprey]

python doesn't magically know what the variable intents is

[boreal sigil]

also

add this code before it:

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

[scarlet badge]

still same error

[open cobalt]

yeah you need to define the intents

[fast osprey]

do not blindly add this code without understanding what you need

[open cobalt]

intents = discord.Intents

[fast osprey]

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

[scarlet badge]

oh damn ty @boreal sigil

[open cobalt]

read the docs

[scarlet badge]

tysm

[fast osprey]

You don't need that

[scarlet badge]

its online now

[fast osprey]

[open cobalt]

intents are like permission what the bot can do, I have my defineed as all

[fast osprey]

intents are very, very different from permissions

[boreal sigil]

💀 not the random hacked user message

[boreal sigil]

yeah

[vocal plover]

intents are instructions to discord telling them what events to send you

[open cobalt]

ok yeah from the gateway

[swift acorn]

would anyone happen to know what this thing in this user's Apps section is?
And how one can do it with discord.py for your bot

[boreal sigil]

at first it looks like a custom presence

can be done via the dev dashboard if it is that

[swift acorn]

ah ok makes sense! I thought it might've been something with the new user installed apps

[boreal sigil]

yeah no thats completely different

[swift acorn]

thank you

[boreal sigil]

no problem!

[open cobalt]

yall approve this and what can be changed? : ```py
def get_meta_channel(self, channel_id):
response = self.youtube.get_channel_metadata(channel_id=channel_id)
embed2 = discord.Embed()
if len(response) == 0:
embed2.add_field(name="", value="Nothing found. Check channel id and try again!")

    else:
        for key, value in response.items():
            embed2.add_field(name="", value=f"{key} : {value}")

    return embed2

[wheat thunder]

line no?

[boreal sigil]

wdym

i said that regarding this #discord-bots message

[wheat thunder]

I was wondering if you might have accidentally written the intents below the bot definition code.

Just in case

[open cobalt]

guys so I have a command but this command is not shown how to use it with the arguments when actually typing it in chat , this needs ext commands I guess?

[boreal sigil]

i did that and basically realised i have to import the stuff again in each file (thats fine).
Did that added the code and:

the code is coming from my main file (script.py)

im going to guess I did it wrong

[fast osprey]

^

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/extensions.html

[boreal sigil]

ahh -

thanks i knew there was smth

[open cobalt]

So for how long this ext command exists ?

[boreal sigil]

sorry if this is stupid but I'm decently confused even after reading the docs - do i need to install smth or add some code?

[open cobalt]

/youtube arg1 arg2

[fast osprey]

There's an example in the code

[open cobalt]

I think you need to use that template

[boreal sigil]

so after each command you add:

async def setup(bot):
    bot.add_command(<command name>)

[fast osprey]

Not after each command

one setup method per file (extension)

that method does whatever you want when that extension is loaded

[boreal sigil]

but if you have multiple commands in a file?

[fast osprey]

You could have the setup method do whatever you want

[open cobalt]

how does the load cog function even know how to read that command in that file to connect with the bot?

I am also confused

[fast osprey]

Cogs are classes. They do not read things "in that file", they have attributes inside that class

[open cobalt]

ok

[fast osprey]

When the cog is loaded, the library will look for command attributes inside of that cog and add them to the bot

[open cobalt]

ah ok now I understand these attributes are kind aplaceholder for that

[open cobalt]

I think that is nicely done, organize code and have kinda an overview of the whole bot project

or what you guys think?

[fast osprey]

the library gives you multiple organizational tools (cogs and extensions) which serve different purposes, without being prescriptive of how/when you use them

[slate swan]

Im trying to add a role in all channel where view channel is off, without overriding the current overwrites of channels

how can i do that

[open cobalt]

for how long you have been coding with the discord.py library?

[boreal sigil]

hey sorry im still confused - tried to do this but it still doesnt work

[fast osprey]

Check the example carefully

and note it does not use @bot.x anywhere

[fast osprey]

2 years or so only

[open cobalt]

nice that is a lot

[open cobalt]

I amde a little side project and actually used the websocket library and request library etc to connect to the gateway and actualy received events and send payloads though a rest api

[boreal sigil]

commands.commands

that my issue isnt it?

[boreal sigil]

so fixed all of that but the bot cant see the commands?

as in i run the help command and ban/unban dont show up

[fast osprey]

Did you load the extension?

Also, you should really strongly consider overriding the built-in ban and unban functionality when you're actively reducing the security on them

[open cobalt]

ok guys I made a bot that send requests to the youtube api and receives data, this data is then replied to the message author

[boreal sigil]

I run it but it doesnt print its being loaded

[boreal sigil]

yeah im pretty sure

[boreal sigil]

when you're actively reducing the security on them can you elaborate?

[fast osprey]

You wouldn't be loading the extension with the setup

the setup is called when you load the extension

[boreal sigil]

ohhhh

assumed it was the order of this but still nothing

[fast osprey]

Where does the bot actually live?

[fast osprey]

The built in ways of banning and unbanning people have several safety features which your code does not. Some of which are going to be prohibitively difficult/impossible for you to make. This is why discord gives this ability to you natively, they want you to use it

[boreal sigil]

In the main script file

Oh wait do I have to put that in there

[open cobalt]

yeah I mean yeah

how would the file connect to your bot

or I am tripping?

[fast osprey]

[open cobalt]

ok so how to load it then

[open cobalt]

you guessed it?

you figured it out?

[pure glacier]

I am creating ticket discord bot in python I am done with most of the things but idk my code has some error whosoever opens the ticket it only pings me. The opened ticket channel is not even visible to the guy who opened ticket
https://pastebin.com/cngvbYP6

[fast osprey]

You should very strongly consider using threads for tickets rather than entire channels, one reason being that the permission story is way simpler

[mild token]

i want to remove roles from bulk of people at once is there any method which does that?

[boreal sigil]

deleting the role?

[mild token]

removing the role from many users

[boreal sigil]

added it to the main file and ran it - still no print - still no ban cmd in help

[fast osprey]

Code?

[boreal sigil]

for which file?

[fast osprey]

The more the better

[boreal sigil]

!paste

ban.py (ban / unban)

i know im importing stuff that isnt there

it doesnt rlly matter

[fast osprey]

and where is the setup?

[boreal sigil]

at the bottom of script.py

[fast osprey]

setup belongs in the extension

and as I said, it should not load_extension inside of the setup itself

[boreal sigil]

im so confused

[fast osprey]

An extension is a file external to the bot which has a setup method. That's it.

[boreal sigil]

i thought? #discord-bots message

i assumed that meant I need to put it in the main script

[fast osprey]

You need to load the extension somewhere you have the bot itself

A method named setup is meaningless except in an extension

[boreal sigil]

so what do i put where

[fast osprey]

The setup method belongs in your extension

and you would load the extension somewhere else, wherever you like, that has a reference to your bot

[drifting arrow]

Hey, how do I set the status or activity or whatever? like this. Is it self.bot.activity?

[fast osprey]

On login? Or in code dynamically?

[solid turtle]

Anyone interested in making a discord bot

Security Bot

L

[open cobalt]

hey

[limber jolt]

I need some help

[open cobalt]

tell us

[midnight oracle]

?

[limber jolt]

So I have a bot that connects to ffmpeg through my files so I have It connect to a file but when I run It I get [winerror5] access Is denied.

The location of the file Is

C:\ffmpeg\bin

[midnight oracle]

You may not be running the program as administrator. I have the ffmpeg.exe in the same dir and it works just fine

[limber jolt]

I ran It all as admin. I looked at the folder perms i have full control over it so It should work.

[midnight oracle]

Oh, that's weird

[limber jolt]

Yh

[midnight oracle]

you're using os lib to open it?

[limber jolt]

I use import OS

voice_client.play(discord.FFmpegPCMAudio(track_uri, executable="C:\\ffmpeg\\bin"), after=lambda e: print(f"Finished playing: {e}"))

Thats the line of code with It In

[midnight oracle]

The code is fine, sorry for being redundant but, are you sure it is running as administrator?

[slate swan]

might be because of an anti-virus or firewall restriction
you can add the ffmpeg bin directory to your systems PATH variables

[limber jolt]

Its fine, I just ran vs-code again and made sure but i still get the error

[limber jolt]

How would I do that??

[slate swan]

you're on windows right?

[limber jolt]

Yeah

[slate swan]

so in your task bar

at the bottom you can search for edit the system's environment variables

[limber jolt]

Ah

[slate swan]

then you click on environment variables

[limber jolt]

I already did that

I just didnt add It

To the code

[slate swan]

oh

[limber jolt]

But i added It to System and the other option

Any other fix??

@slate swan

@midnight oracle

[slate swan]

no i don't have any idea

[limber jolt]

):

Someone please help me

[grizzled onyx]

how close thread in forum?

[turbid condor]

!close i think

[wheat thunder]

I want a specific action to happen an hour after I enter the command.
I have two ideas for implementation.

1. asynchronously sleep and delete
   Save the time/action and check the time at regular intervals and perform the action when it's time to do it 2.

I also want to cancel this task scheduling with a specific command. In this case, would implementation number 2 of 1 and 2 be better?

[fast osprey]

1 is fine and will be a lot lighter. You can also persist this in a db if it needs to sleep between restarts

[boreal sigil]

tried that but just nothing

[fast osprey]

How are you trying to load the extension?

[boreal sigil]

main script.py (image 1)
extension ban.py (image 2)

code is at very bottom of both

i did smth wrong didnt i

[slate swan]

Not sure why you run your bot in a setup function with the bot as parameter

See Quickstart and Cogs again

[boreal sigil]

idk it wanted indents

i dont use cogs btw (not yet im moving on to that after this)

WHY IS NONE OF THIS WORKING 😭

ive read it all and just nothing works

[limber jolt]

@unkempt canyon

[fast osprey]

When do you think setup gets run

And why do you have two setups

[boreal sigil]

i have no clue

[fast osprey]

setup, the function, only belongs in an extension. Not where you declare and run your bot. It gets run when the extension is loaded. It itself doesn't get magically run in order to load the extension. It is a consequence of that extension being loaded
