im just gonna work it on myself

[fast osprey]

There's not a single question mark in that post

[willow sluice]

@wild gate what is your question lol

[willow sluice]

@wild gate You did not ask a single question but i guess you need something like that

from aiohttp import web, web_request, ClientSession
from discord.ext import commands
import json
import subprocess


class WebServer(commands.Cog):

    def __init__(self, bot):
        self.bot = bot
        self.api_url = 'http://localhost:5000'

    @commands.command()
    async def execute(self, ctx: commands.Context, *, command):
        async with ClientSession() as session:
            url = self.api_url + '/execute'
            data = {'command': command}

            async with session.post(url, data=json.dump(data)) as response:
                if response.status_code == 200:
                    await ctx.channel.send(f'Command executed: {command}')
                else:
                    await ctx.channel.send(f'Failed to execute command: {command}')

    async def execute_command(self, request: web_request.Request):
        data = await request.json()
        command = data.get(command)
        try:
            result = subprocess.checkoutput(command,
                stderr=subprocess.STDOUT,
                shell=True,
                text=True)
            return web.Response(
                status=200,
                text=json.dumps({"result": result}),
                content_type='application/json')
        except subprocess.CalledProcessError as e:
            return web.Response(
                status=400,
                text=json.dumps({"error": str(e.output)}),
                content_type='application/json')

    async def cog_load(self):
        app = web.Application()

        runner = web.AppRunner(app)
        await runner.setup()

        site = web.TCPSite(runner, host='0.0.0.0', port=5000)
        await site.start()

        app.router._frozen = False
        app.router.add_post('/execute', self.execute_command)
        app.router.freeze()


async def setup(bot):
    await bot.add_cog(WebServer(bot))

[wild gate]

well I get a bit better understanding now what I need to do, it's like if I host a server on like a digital ocean VM what would it look like not in terms of code but more like what do I need to do if I want to have the application waiting for commands from the discord bot

like the code I can always figure out

it's more the idea of what am I doing I need a better understanding of

[fast osprey]

What you asked was fairly general. What are users doing, what are the "commands" you're looking to run? What is the overall purpose?

[wild gate]

It's to connect to a game, I mean it's just basic like / commands in the discord server, and for the commands they're just functions that'll do stuff in game I already have built I just need like info on what I need to do in terms of hosting like do I need a server or can I just run it all on a VM that is hosted by digital ocean and like just have my discord bot connect to the VM, like i have no idea what I need to do in terms of hosting basically

idk I'm wathcing a few yt videos rn on discord bots my questions will prolly be clearer in a bit I'm just gonna ask tmrw

[fast osprey]

Anywhere you could run a python program, you could run a discord bot. Just needs network access to discord and a few libraries

Any other requirements are entirely what you're doing inside of that bot, i.e. running other stuff, connecting to other systems, etc etc

[mild token]

why other member can also search for this command if i have locked this command to myself?

[uneven fiber]

RuntimeError: Numpy is not available

[mild token]

pip install numpy

[uneven fiber]

i did

[mild token]

how many python version are available?

[uneven fiber]

how i check

[mild token]

py --version

[uneven fiber]

3.11.9

[hushed galleon]

the everyone role needs to be denied to hide your command from anyone that doesnt have the manage server permission

[mild token]

ok what is channel over ride thing

[mild token]

do pip show numpy

[uneven fiber]

then what

[mild token]

see its installed or not

[uneven fiber]

it is

[mild token]

have u tried the command?

[uneven fiber]

yes

[mild token]

btw by any chance r u working in virtual env?

[uneven fiber]

no

[mild token]

i recommend u to do that then u wont have these kind of issue

i personally use poetry to manage the virual env and dependencies

[hushed galleon]

that just lets you (dis)allow the command for specific channels

[uneven fiber]

do yk how to fix AttributeError: module 'discord' has no attribute 'Bot'

its a error w my other bot

[mild token]

oki

[uneven fiber]

?

[mild token]

i need to check your script

[uneven fiber]

dms

[mild token]

please refrain from using that 😅 asking here will benefit even more user with same issue

saves effort and time

[uneven fiber]

oh i didnt known u can send code in here

says this now

[mild token]

you can see above

one sec woops

commands is from ext

try discord.Client

[mild token]

hmm do like this

class MyBot(commands.Bot):
       def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)


bot  = MyBot(intents=intents)

[uneven fiber]

where

[mild token]

define it

[uneven fiber]

how

i js started python

[mild token]

then you should learn the basics first

[uneven fiber]

well

how do i define it

[mild token]

even if i tell u , u wont be able to make changes if u dont understand what the error is trying to say

[uneven fiber]

can u still tell me

[mild token]

this will be last chance i am spoonfeeding u after this time please complete your basics first

intents = discord.Intents.all()

this will enable all intents

[mild token]

i wont tell answer of this u need to figure it out , its clearing stating whats the issue , please refer to the docs

[uneven fiber]

bro, im just trying to get help dude

[mild token]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.command_prefix

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.command\_prefix

The command prefix is what the message content must contain initially to have a command invoked. This prefix could either be a string to indicate what the prefix should be, or a callable that takes in the bot as its first parameter and discord.Message as its second parameter and returns the prefix. This is to facilitate “dynamic” command prefixes. This callable can be either a regular function or a coroutine.

An empty string as the prefix always matches, enabling prefix-less command invocation. While this may be useful in DMs it should be avoided in servers, as it’s likely to cause performance issues and unintended command invocations.

[mild token]

i am also trying to help you by giving you resources where to find answer so u can learn

[uneven fiber]

im not a dev, im js tryna run this bot for my friend

[mild token]

copying pasting wont help , you might want to add commands right? if u dont learn then u wont be able to add commands and make changes

[uneven fiber]

i dont wanna add cmds

[mild token]

then googling can help

[uneven fiber]

chatgpt

[mild token]

!rule 10

[unkempt canyon]

Rules

10. Do not copy and paste answers from ChatGPT or similar AI tools.

[uneven fiber]

oh ok

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='!') should it look like this?

[mild token]

yep

[uneven fiber]

but idk how to put it into the MyBot

[mild token]

btw u need to use mybot

[uneven fiber]

ok

[mild token]

u made subclass of commands.Bot with mybot so u need to use that

[uneven fiber]

ok

can u send it

or help me fix TypeError: BotBase.init() missing 1 required positional argument: 'command_prefix'

[mild token]

dude just read the error once and see what u did above

https://uwpce-pythoncert.github.io/PythonCertDevel/modules/SubclassingAndInheritance.html

check this out

[uneven fiber]

im just gonna ask someone else

can u atleast help with my numpy

[mild token]

whats the error?

[uneven fiber]

RuntimeError: Numpy is not available

[mild token]

your error says numpy is not installed

[uneven fiber]

no cus i did pip install numpy

[mild token]

maybe its a py version issue

[uneven fiber]

Python 3.11.9

[mild token]

pip install numpy --upgrade

see it install or not

[uneven fiber]

Requirement already satisfied:

[mild token]

above u said u r using 3.9 something and now py 3.11.9 r u sure u r not using two version of py?

[uneven fiber]

ye cus i tried to use 3.2 to see if it fixed but it didnt so i went back to 3.1 and uninstalled 3.12

[mild token]

try pip install -m numpy

see it solves or not

[uneven fiber]

no such option: -m

[mild token]

python -m pip install numpy

[uneven fiber]

Requirement already satisfied

[mild token]

pip show numpy also showing?

[uneven fiber]

yes

[mild token]

i dont have idea what to do if your current py has numpy installed and its not showing it and u r claiming only 1 py version u have

[mild token]

is there any event which tells who deleted the message if its the author himself?

[uneven fiber]

no

[brazen crane]

in discordpy, whats the difference between on_error and on_command_error

[mild token]

!d discord.discord.ext.commands.on_command_error

[unkempt canyon]

discord.discord.ext.commands.on\_command\_error

discord.ext.commands.on_command_error(ctx, error)```
An error handler that is called when an error is raised inside a command either through user input error, check failure, or an error in your own code.

A default one is provided ([`Bot.on_command_error()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.on_command_error)).

[mild token]

!d discord.app_commands.CommandTree.on_error

[unkempt canyon]

discord.app\_commands.CommandTree.on\_error

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

A callback that is called when any command raises an [`AppCommandError`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.AppCommandError).

The default implementation logs the exception using the library logger if the command does not have any error handlers attached to it.

To get the command that failed, [`discord.Interaction.command`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.Interaction.command) should be used.

[mild token]

@brazen crane

[brazen crane]

thanks

[mild token]

yw

[brazen crane]

is on_application_command_error a thing?

[mild token]

Is that a thing in d.py?

[brazen crane]

idrk

[mild token]

Have u checked the docs?

Don't think anything like that exists

[brazen crane]

hhhmmm yea i dont think so

[finite salmon]

That exists in pycord https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/clients.html#discord.Bot.on_application_command_error

A pretty useful error handler for slash commands idk what's it called in dpy if it exists

[vocal laurel]

^that in d.py

[finite salmon]

O

[mild token]

on_raw_member_remove and on_member_remove whats the difference like raw one can be called ? like if bot isnt online it wont post then in what scenario raw on will be useful?

[finite salmon]

@turbid condor you available for this one

like i wanted it to show as /news setreviewchannel

but its /news-setreviewchannel

[turbid condor]

This appears to be a prefix command group rather than slash

[torn solar]

how can i fix

[turbid condor]

What fix make it a app_command group or hybrid_group

[torn solar]

@app_commands.Group(name='news', description="News related commands.")
async def news(ctx):
    if ctx.invoked_subcommand is None:
        await ctx.send('Invalid news command.')```

like this right? and the what should i do for the subcommands decorator

[turbid condor]

use news

[fast osprey]

How is Group defined, and how is this being added to your bot?

[mild token]

i already checked the docs i didnt understood it

if bot is turned on and then something happens means it will be cached then whats the point of raw this is what i am trying to understand

[finite salmon]

The on_member_remove wont be executed when the bot is in it's startup stage where the interal cache isnt fully ready and youll have to catch it in the on_raw_member_remove

although for this specefic event the chances of the member not being in the cache in a normal state is really low

but if your bot is present in a lot of servers (probably 5k+ i think?), the chances of the member not being cached will be common i guess

My bot doesnt see this code - I look in the help menu and there isnt a ban/unban cmd at all

even do +ban or +unban and nothing

terminal says command not found

[fast osprey]

How are these being added to the bot?

Also you really should not be making a thin wrapper over sensitive things that already exist while stripping away the security

[boreal sigil]

just some normal code

like the rest of the cmds

just in the file

[fast osprey]

Show what is adding these commands to the bot

[boreal sigil]

what

normally you just define the bot command and do the async stuff

[fast osprey]

"Async stuff"?

Something needs to add commands to a bot

[boreal sigil]

i have a sync command

[fast osprey]

Just declaring a command in the ether doesn't make the bot magically know about it

[boreal sigil]

sync all the slash commands

[boreal sigil]

well thats how all my others work

[fast osprey]

It's not

[boreal sigil]

i think

[fast osprey]

There is something that adds those commands to the bot

[boreal sigil]

which is?

[fast osprey]

I can't tell you how your code works that you haven't shown

[boreal sigil]

im confused

what am i missing?

[fast osprey]

Code that adds these commands to your bot

This code you sent declares a command. Nothing tells the bot that it exists, that you've shown

[boreal sigil]

# SYNC SLASH COMMANDS WITH <prefix>sync
from typing import Literal, Optional
@bot.command()

        elif spec == "*":

        else:
            ret += 1

    await ctx.send(f"Synced the tree to {ret}/{len(guilds)}.")

i have this ig

thats my sync command

[fast osprey]

This tells discord about commands your bot knows about

This does not tell your bot about commands it doesn't know about

[boreal sigil]

then what do I do to make my bot recognise them

ill take a docs link at this point i dont even need code

[fast osprey]

Please send the full file these commands are in

[boreal sigil]

alright

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/SSQA

enjoy the mayhem that code is

[fast osprey]

Compare these commands to the commands that are working

[willow sluice]

is there a way to get the raw message from an discord.Message? i mean json format like Message Object

i found on_socket_raw_receive and this is working but i still wonder is it possible to make it inside regular events eg on_message

[boreal sigil]

firstly this exists

[fast osprey]

Look at the command decorator

There is a key difference between the one that works and the one that doesn't

[boreal sigil]

oh

wait what

it looks identical

[fast osprey]

https://tenor.com/view/lil-jon-wtf-what-surprised-rapper-gif-12536313

[boreal sigil]

even the docs show what im using

[fast osprey]

Post the two of them here, side by side. Just the command decorator. For one that works and one that does not

[boreal sigil]

Working:

# UNHIDE CMD
@bot.hybrid_command()
@commands.has_permissions(manage_channels=True)
async def unhide(ctx, channel : Optional[discord.TextChannel] = None):
    """ Unhides the channel the command is used in, or a specified channel """

Not working:

# BAN CMD
@commands.hybrid_command()
@commands.has_permissions(ban_members=True)
async def ban(ctx, user: discord.User, *, reason="***No reason provided.***"):
        """ Bans a user from the guild """

[fast osprey]

Read those

And tell me they are the same

[boreal sigil]

oh

im stupid af-
i switched them between files tryna split it all up and didnt change it back

[slate swan]

Sometimes I ask myself what's the purpose of a ban command

[boreal sigil]

to enjoy the power you have

[fast osprey]

There isn't one besides pretending to be more useful than you are while reducing security

[boreal sigil]

it was the @commands.hybrid_command() -> @bot.hybrid_command()

next is this fine and if it isnt how do i fix

[fast osprey]

And do you understand why those are different?

[boreal sigil]

yeah

[boreal sigil]

now what about this? @fast osprey

[fast osprey]

that's not an error

[quick gust]

that's just a warning

[fast osprey]

You're just making a variable you never use

[quick gust]

it means ure not using a variable ure declaring

[willow sluice]

Do you have an answer to my question above?

[fast osprey]

You would need to describe why it is you want the raw object

[willow sluice]

I want to send the raw message object to a third party server when the message is sent or edited
I can explain more specifically if you need

[boreal sigil]

Hey so I made a cog names 'Configuration' and successfully added one command to it but when I try and add another it gives me a massive error - how do I add a command to an already made cog? Code below.

was already doing it lol

btw
removed cogs code from shown above

in the ping bit

[willow sluice]

you forgot to add self inside your sync command arguments

[boreal sigil]

got this now - shows on the ping command that self is not accessed

[willow sluice]

https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/classes.html

if im not mistaken I believe self comes before ctx

[boreal sigil]

ohhhk

yep that was it

Awesome

[willow sluice]

damn

[dense falcon]

sorry, the only thing I can think of is if you need to sync the command (with the text prefix) but i doubt thats the problem

[boreal sigil]

thats only rlly for slash commands

[willow sluice]

One day two geniuses met 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

@boreal sigil You defined two classes with identical names

[boreal sigil]

but i want them in the same cog?

[dense falcon]

ohh i wasnt reading

you put all commands you want in one cog into the same class

So the ping command would go into the first Configuration class, then it would show both

[boreal sigil]

ok im confused sorry what?

how do i make it go into the first configuration class

[willow sluice]

@boreal sigil man its really annoying when people who havent learned python basics run to write discord bots and ask stupid questions

[dense falcon]

So basically take your ping command function, and move it into the first class called Configuration

[boreal sigil]

[dense falcon]

This isnt helpful

[boreal sigil]

[dense falcon]

awesome

[boreal sigil]

now I do that for the rest of em

[willow sluice]

i already answered him above and just wrote this because its annoying

[dense falcon]

good luck :>

What is "the message"? Who sent "the message"? Are they giving you explicit instruction to send their data to a third party?

[dense falcon]

You should put determine_flip into the function, otherwise the code can't find it

[boreal sigil]

ah alright

it worked before outside of it, but oh well

[dense falcon]

sometimes things are weird

[boreal sigil]

yup - mess with code that works and get 1000 more errors

[fast osprey]

This is where OOP comes into play

[scarlet tiger]

Don't use time.sleep() it's not async

[boreal sigil]

wait wut

it worked fine before?

[dense falcon]

It works, but it can cause problems

[quick gust]

itll work fine for very short durations, u wont notice it

but its blocking

[scarlet tiger]

Yeah

[boreal sigil]

it seems to work

[quick gust]

read what I said again

[dense falcon]

If im correct that means that no other part of the script can be ran while the script is sleeping

[boreal sigil]

yeah ik but its blocking

[quick gust]

!blocking

[unkempt canyon]

Asynchronous programming

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

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

import discord

# Bunch of bot code

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

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

async libraries

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

[fast osprey]

very short is misleading, as it's not only the number inside sleep but how many tasks will queue up behind it and add onto the issue

[scarlet tiger]

If your bot manages many users in the future you will have problems

[boreal sigil]

yeah it likely will

so does this just fix it? await time.sleep(3)

nope it doesnt

[quick gust]

use asyncio

[scarlet tiger]

Use the asyncio module and then await asyncio.sleep()

[boreal sigil]

thanks

works fine great

onto the next one

@dense falcon quick question how do you put spaces in a Cog name

eg. Channel Management

[dense falcon]

I believe there is an argument you can use to change the Cog's name to something like that, let me find it

[boreal sigil]

ah alright thanks

the cog doesnt show up

wait-

the bot.add_cog() method expects a Cog object. You must pass the class

[exotic hazel]

Hello, I have a question about a distinction between a Discord bot vs a Discord app
#code-jam-participants-hangout message
This person says "you can use pure http interactions which doesn't require a Bot flow", would it make sense to learn that kind of thing before learning to make a bot? Is it easier?

[fast osprey]

You probably should start by looking at what you're trying to accomplish and then pick the best tool to accomplish it before considering what's easier

gateway bots are very good at doing a specific thing, but need to maintain websockets to do it

[exotic hazel]

I don't have a specific goal in mind yet, just curious if I should learn one thing before the other. Or if it doesn't matter which one I choose

[fast osprey]

They do accomplish different things

[exotic hazel]

Ok, I'll probably just start with a bot since I've seen more documentation on it

Thanks!

[slate swan]

Hello

I have a small problem pls , I have code source of a verification bot , the verification redirect normally to a site wich is for the original bot , the bot I have now I want that when the person click on verify he got redirected on the same site the original one , idk a lot abt coding so anyone can come in dm I screen share the code and tell me if the option is already in it ( I’m not the person who developed the bot btw ) and thank you 🙏

[mild token]

my bot will be in only 1 server

@commands.Cog.listener("on_member_update")
    async def on_member_update(self, before: discord.Member, after: discord.Member):
        print(before, after)
        pass

how will i know what changed ?, is by comparing is the only way?

[fast osprey]

Well what do you care about changing?

[mild token]

all of it

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

in this timeout returns the int or async iterator?

[fast osprey]

Are you just logging everything that could possibly change for the sake of logging it?

[sick birch]

you can compare the before.timed_out_until and after.timed_out_until to check timeout status

[mild token]

hmm

[mild token]

yeh kinda in a channel

[sick birch]

why not just use the audit log

its far better

unless you're trying to log something the audit log doesn't

[mild token]

i doubt audit log leave anything apart from emoji

[sick birch]

wdym

[mild token]

i mean adding emoji dont get logged in audit log

[sick birch]

so why not just log that

[mild token]

but d.py can get somehow

[sick birch]

and leave the rest to audit log

[mild token]

this really make more sense let me ask my friends

does message edit also get logged in audit log?

[finite salmon]

yeah you neednt worry about it, in only rare circumstances it will not work but if you want to be 100% fool proof you can still implement it

[pseudo geode]

need help my bot and command etc now works but I have to press run every minute or so how do I fix it so it just runs?or at least for a while longer?

@ me if yk how to fix

no errors

[fast osprey]

You should consider using the integrations menu to limit app commands rather than checking locally in code

[granite shadow]

Hello
I have a bot and when this bot is used I just want the user to see his command, I have almost no knowledge on how to do it.

[torn solar]

the bot is in multiple servers thats why it needs to be limiteed in the logic

do you have any idea why thats not working?

[willow sluice]

ctx.author

[torn solar]

yo manix u know how to solve my issue

[willow sluice]

I dont understand what your code does

[torn solar]

its a group commands named 'news'

the commands work fine but the permission check isnt working

[willow sluice]

first of all i guess you need to use

!d discord.app_commands.check

[unkempt canyon]

discord.app\_commands.check

@discord.app_commands.check(predicate)```
A decorator that adds a check to an application command.

These checks should be predicates that take in a single parameter taking a [`Interaction`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.Interaction). If the check returns a `False`-like value then during invocation a [`CheckFailure`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.CheckFailure) exception is raised and sent to the appropriate error handlers.

These checks can be either a coroutine or not.

Examples

Creating a basic check to see if the command invoker is you...

[willow sluice]

is is working right now?

[torn solar]

discord.Interaction

class discord.Interaction```
Represents a Discord interaction.

An interaction happens when a user does an action that needs to be notified. Current examples are slash commands and components.

New in version 2.0.

[willow sluice]

AttributeError: 'Interaction' object has no attribute 'author'

[granite shadow]

no like um if i write the command the bots shows the thing just for me

not for everyone

wait

[willow sluice]

@torn solar i agree its very difficult to write code YOURSELF

def has_staff_role(interaction: discord.Interaction):
    return bool([i for i in staff_roles if i in interaction.user.roles])

[willow sluice]

are you using app_command or regular command with prefix?

[granite shadow]

app one

im new in python

i just write this code

@tree.command(name='kaydol',
description="Kaydolmak için kullanılır [kullanıcı_adı] [şifre]")
async def kaydol(interaction: discord.Interaction, kullanıcı_adı: str,
sifre: str):
f = open("keys.txt", "a")
f.write(f" | {kullanıcı_adı}, {sifre} | ")

em = discord.Embed(description=f"Başarıyla kaydolundu!", color=0x0025ff)
await interaction.response.send_message(embed=em)

its turkish

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

Responds to this interaction by sending a message.

[willow sluice]

read docs

[granite shadow]

thanks

i will try

[willow sluice]

there is arg what you are looking for

[granite shadow]

i hope

[willow sluice]

this is statement and not question you will find it

[granite shadow]

i cant but i can show you what i want

how i made this type of message

?

[willow sluice]

this is default error when interaction didnt response

[granite shadow]

yea ik

i just want to show you this i need to my bot type like that only i see

i need the "Only you cann see this" thing

[willow sluice]

i got what you want and i send you link to docs

[granite shadow]

oh okay

thanks im trying to find tmrw

[willow sluice]

Can you read? There are only 10 lines

im really surprised by you and people like you its anoying

[granite shadow]

Thank you for your help, but since I didn't know exactly what I was looking for and the place you showed wasn't on the site I went to, I couldn't understand what you were saying, so I couldn't find it? What's annoying?

[fast osprey]

So one thing you could do is limit this on permission and have individual guilds choose if they want a specific role. What you have now is pretty inflexible if people decide they want to change things, and plus it still lets users see the command when you could prevent them from running it in the first place

[torn solar]

so basically how it works is the bot is in other servers just to read messages and relay them to the news channel

i have the permissions working

i just need to know how to handle the error

[fast osprey]

I mean you do you, but discord has given you a system for managing permissions, and you're writing extra code to go around it

[willow sluice]

did you google?

you will be very surprised when you find out how much useful information is in google and discord.py docs

[torn solar]

i figured it out

[wild gate]

import discord

from discord.ext import commands

@client.event
async def on_ready():
print("Bot is up")

@client.command()
async def hello(ctx):
await ctx.send("hello, world")

client.run('TOKEN')
anyone have any idea why I'm getting invalid syntax, chatgpt isn't giving really a reason

[willow sluice]

there should be error in console pointing to line

[wild gate]

it says line 1

but like it's just importing discord

[willow sluice]

give me screenshot of error

[wild gate]

nvm it was in python mode for the terminal

dk how that happened but ye

[willow sluice]

💀

[fervent surge]

quick question: is d.py still the most popular framework? Or are forks now more popular?

[wild gate]

how would I get it the bot to actually print out "hello, world" into the chat?

like do I do /hello?

or !hello?

how tf do i shut down a bot

nvm it's ?hello

[fast osprey]

This would result in a warning

[wild gate]

it doesn't 🤷

oh, Bot.on_error isnt the same as the tree's on_error

i'd suggest naming your method to something else and then using self.tree.error() to register it on your tree, e.g. ```py
class MyBot(commands.Bot):
def init(self):
super().init(...)
self.tree.error(self.on_tree_error)

async def on_tree_error(self, interaction, error):
    ...```

[torn solar]

ill try this

[torn solar]

this worked btw forgot to respond ty

[quick gust]

(disnake) what flow of interactions should I use if I am sending a View in my message and later need to set a message attr to the view (so that I can disable the view on timeout and edit the message with the updated view)

class PaginatorView(disnake.ui.View):
    message: disnake.Message

    async def on_timeout(self) -> None:
        for child in self.children:
            child.disabled = True
            
        await self.message.edit(view=self)

basically what I'm asking is how should I respond to the slash command interactions to be able to get the disnake.Message object

[willow sluice]

https://qna.habr.com/q/1266588

[finite salmon]

Don't set it as a class variable, set it as an instance variable

And when sending the view attach the message object there

view = PaginatorView()
msg = await ctx.send(view=view)
view.message = msg

Something like this

[quick gust]

That's what I'm doing, my question is how to get the msg object u used here, with slash commands

I'm not good with slash commands

[finite salmon]

interaction.message

instead of view.message = msg, pass in interaction.message

[quick gust]

I'll test it once I can, thanks

hey , how can i get info about another user , other than the author of the command ? like !command @mention , so i should get , info about both , author and the user the author mentioned

[simple zinc]

thx for the help , let me try and understand that

[hearty basalt]

what's your current command lookin like?

[limber jolt]

Everything u can guess. So member count of the server Is guild.member_count

    async def userinfo(self, ctx, member: discord.Member = None):
    
        member = member or ctx.author
        embed = discord.Embed(title="User Info", description=f"Information about {member}", color=0x00ff00)
        embed.set_thumbnail(url=member.avatar.url)
        embed.add_field(name="Username", value=member.name, inline=True)
        embed.add_field(name="Discriminator", value=member.discriminator, inline=True)
        embed.add_field(name="ID", value=member.id, inline=True)
        embed.add_field(name="Status", value=member.status, inline=True)
        embed.add_field(name="Top Role", value=member.top_role.mention, inline=True)
        embed.add_field(name="Joined Server", value=member.joined_at.strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"), inline=True)
        embed.add_field(name="Account Created", value=member.created_at.strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"), inline=True)
        await ctx.send(embed=embed)```

This iS how to get user Info

The other one was server

[simple zinc]

i am just learning , it so its just my 2nd day on discord.py , just was thinking about how will i do that

[simple zinc]

thx , i ask if i face any problems

[limber jolt]

Alright. Do @bot.command

For yours

As Im using cogs without the @bot stuff.

[simple zinc]

ya , i will do that , and i should also remove the self parameter

[hearty basalt]

don't spoonfeed 😭

[limber jolt]

Its a better way to learn In my opinion.

[hearty basalt]

fair

[limber jolt]

Do what you think. Thats just what I have try and edit It to your likings.

[simple zinc]

yes thats what i am trying to do by understanding , what the code is doing before using it

[hearty basalt]

👍

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html here's the API

[simple zinc]

thx i understood most of it

can i explain this member:discord.Member:None whats None parameter does in it

Represents a Discord member to a Guild.

This implements a lot of the functionality of User.

Attributes
joined_at: Optional[datetime.datetime]
An aware datetime object that specifies the date and time in UTC that the member joined the guild. If the member left and rejoined the guild, this will be the latest date. In certain cases, this can be None.
activities: Tuple[Union[BaseActivity, Spotify]]
The activities that the user is currently doing.

[simple zinc]

this i what vs code says , but its not clear enough for mw

me*

[hearty basalt]

it means the argument is optional

member: discord.Member = None

i think

[timber dragon]

It's the same thing as doing : discord.Member | None = None in dpy

But you can default to the command author here instead of None and handling it in the callback:

member: discord.Membed = commands.Author

[granite shadow]

how i get the user id with tree command?

[timber dragon]

Interaction.user is an instance of Member/User

[granite shadow]

thankss

[granite shadow]

Hello again.
How can I create a txt file in the folder named "users" for my bot?

[fast osprey]

What is this txt file being used for?

[dense falcon]

extremely late but You can do this with the open() function, which (when given correct parameters) will create a file with the name you choose. For example:
file = open("example.txt","w") - Creates a file if it doesnt already exist, otherwise it modifies the file
or instead of using w, use x, which can only create a file and returns an error if it already exists

[wanton current]

needs a prefix

[slate swan]

and how do i do that

[wanton current]

add a command_prefix= parameter

[granite shadow]

Thankss!

[granite shadow]

and how i bot can create file in the folder which i selected

[wanton current]

make it a string and remove the parenthesis

[slate swan]

how i make it a string

[wanton current]

command_prefix="!"

[dense falcon]

open("folder/file.txt")

[slate swan]

i js added

[dense falcon]

Show where you're putting the code

[dense falcon]

you'll want something like this:
bot = MyBot(command_prefix='!', intents=intents)

You ended up defining bot twice

[granite shadow]

thanks

[dense falcon]

Well firstly for your deleted screenshot, Slash Commands are referred to as app_commands

[slate swan]

k

done

[dense falcon]

uh can you show the code that's having the error

[slate swan]

``@bot.app_commands(guild_ids=[settings["guildID"]], name="whitelist", description="Whitelist a person to use the bot.")
async def whitelist(ctx: discord.ApplicationContext,
user: discord.Option(discord.Member, "Member to whitelist.", required=True)):
if not isAdmin(ctx):
return await ctx.respond("Only Bot Admins can use this command.")

settings["botWhitelistedId"].append(str(user.id))
json.dump(settings, open("settings.json", "w", encoding="utf-8"), indent=4)

return await ctx.respond(f"*{user.mention} has been whitelisted.*")``

[dense falcon]

what's the code for settings? how is it defined

[slate swan]

``{
"capmonsterKey": "CAP-25C663138AF0088A8990B793EF92B0B1",
"botToken": "Token",
"guildID": "1260963242428207284",
"botAdminId": [
"741839840110182441"
],
"botWhitelistedId": [

]

}``

[granite shadow]

Uh its not working :(

[dense falcon]

that is returning the user object, you'll likely want to use user.name or user.id

[granite shadow]

no no

wait a sec

[dense falcon]

just a sec lemme do some checks

[granite shadow]

i want to create this txt file in to a users folder

[granite shadow]

like this but with bot

[dense falcon]

f"users/{member}.txt"?

[granite shadow]

ohh

i just think it like folder or file.txt

my bad sorry

[dense falcon]

OK so guild_ids is not a valid parameter for an app command

what do you want it to do?

[slate swan]

guild id

to use my servers guild id to connect the bot online

[dense falcon]

yes, but what do you want to achieve from it

fuck wait nvm

[slate swan]

its a boost bot

[dense falcon]

whats that

[slate swan]

js a bot

like i want the guild id to make it go online

[dense falcon]

the closest I can think of for this is you want the bot's slash commands to work in the guild

[slate swan]

yes

[dense falcon]

ok remove the guild_ids parameter in the decorator

[slate swan]

in settings?

[dense falcon]

@app_commands.guilds(discord.Object(id=GUILD_ID_GOES_HERE))

[dense falcon]

no, in the decorator

app_commands

[slate swan]

im confused, can u help me if i send the code?

[fast osprey]

What are you trying to do with this parameter

by default app commands are global and available to all guilds the bot is in

[dense falcon]

you see this
@bot.app_commands(guild_ids=[settings["guildID"]], name="whitelist", description="Whitelist a person to use the bot.")

change it to this
@bot.app_commands(name="whitelist", description="Whitelist a person to use the bot.")

successfully removed guild_ids parameter

[dense falcon]

Oh and in doing this, the slash commands will ONLY work in the given server. This does speed up tree syncing a lot though so it can be a good tradeoff if nowhere else uses it

[fast osprey]

It doesn't

[wanton current]

what is bot.app_commands?

[dense falcon]

it does something a lot faster though, cant remember what

[fast osprey]

There used to be a delay on global syncing more than a year ago

[wanton current]

use @bot.tree.command()

[dense falcon]

i might have been thinking of commands.command() or something probably

I use hybrid commands so I kinda forgor the rest

[wanton current]

there's also @app_commands.command

[dense falcon]

ah that's the one

[mild token]

is there a way to ensure task loop only start after the bot start?

[neat field]

so if i understand correctly the major differences between REST api and gateway is

• REST api only revices interaction events
• Gateway api can receive all intents that the bot is registred for
• REST api does not need a always alive connection
• purely interaction based "apps" can be made in both http and gateway

is this all ?

[neat field]

task loop ?

[mild token]

!d discord.ext.tasks.loop

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.tasks.loop

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

[mild token]

this thing

when my bot loads sync loop starts before on_ready

as i am calling it on constructor is there a way to ensure it only starts after on_ready?

[scarlet tiger]

You can use wait_until_ready() But I'm not sure

[mild token]

it will be called automatically?

[fast osprey]

wait_until_ready is a utility that yields until the bot is ready. Nothing calls it, you would use it in some task you wanted to wait

[scarlet tiger]

Hmmm I don't use discord.py but I saw that in the documentation

[fast osprey]

There's a very common pattern to await wait_until_ready inside of a task loop's before_loop. Then you can start it wherever you want

in fact, this is done in one of the recipes in the official docs

[mild token]

where should i use this? inside task loop directly?

[quick gust]

in before_loop

[mild token]

ok

[mild token]

why api fetching is not after bot login?

[fast osprey]

Code? These are just a bunch of log statements you're making

[mild token]

!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.

[mild token]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/5SKQ @fast osprey

sorry for bad code : (

[fast osprey]

What do you mean by "api fetching"?

[mild token]

fetching data from api

[fast osprey]

Which is?

What in the above screenshot is wrong?

[mild token]

i want on_ready to fire first and then api fetching should start

[fast osprey]

You should not be using on_ready to drive logic

[mild token]

so bot have all the things in its cache

[mild token]

i am not using it

wait_until_ready this thing

[fast osprey]

You just said you wanted on_ready to fire. Why do you care about that event

You're using wait until ready. That will yield after the cache is populated. What makes you think it isn't?

[mild token]

i want on_ready to fire so my bot have cache and all things load up

[mild token]

oh

[fast osprey]

Again. On_ready is not what you want or care about here

[mild token]

i thought bcz of log statement

ty for clarification

[fast osprey]

When the cache is populated, a few things happen and the ordering of them isn't guaranteed

on_ready will fire but not necessarily before or after wait_until_ready yields

[mild token]

actually what i am doing is , i am hitting api every 5 minutes if the data change i changes role according to that so when bot gets online and it checks sometimes it doesnt remove the roles

[fast osprey]

What api?

[mild token]

its a private game api developed by my friend

[fast osprey]

Ah. Ideally they'd implement a pubsub method to reduce load for both of you but for private stuff it's whatever

[mild token]

what's pubsub?

sorry i dont know about that : (

[fast osprey]

You subscribe to this service, and it pushes relevant changes to you

Rather than you having to ask every 5 minutes

[mild token]

oh

i will definately look into this

really looks like a neat concept

[fast osprey]

It's advanced and not needed on this scale probably but interesting to learn

[mild token]

: ) ty for suggestion

how to make a inventory system without mangodb? i just coded little but its not working

If you're tracking dynamic data generated by your application, you absolutely should be using a database and not writing to flat files yourself

any feedback would be helpful

i know

it's not the same

but i have no clue how to do that xd

!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.

Traceback (most recent call last):
await item.callback(interaction)
await self.show_page(interaction)
message = await interaction.response.edit_message(embed=embed)
AttributeError: 'Button' object has no attribute 'response'

im lowkey rusty at coding but i remember this used to happen when trying to edit messages/embeds with buttons involved but idk how to fix it

[fast osprey]

You are most likely using dpy as a library while following a tutorial made for another library

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

[wild gate]

if I use nextcord instead of discord.py will I still be able to use all of the regular discord.py functions?

cuz I'm getting this:
DistributionWarning: discord.py is installed which is incompatible with nextcord. Please remove this library by using pip3 uninstall discord.py

[fast osprey]

You should pick one

[wild gate]

yeah I'm asking if I remove discord.py

will I still be able to use like
@client.command()
@commands.is_owner()
async def shutdown_bot(ctx):
await ctx.send("Shutting down...")
print("Shutting down...")
await client.close()

[sick birch]

it may be a bit different

[wild gate]

or do I have to figure out how to do it in nextcord

[wanton current]

should since it's a d.py fork

[sick birch]

but nextcord is a fork so the commands stuff should be mostly the same

[fast osprey]

Can't tell you how much forks have diverged, or how much they will continue to diverge

[sick birch]

from what i can tell the interactions stuff differs a fair bit more

[wild gate]

ok

[sick birch]

you will have to read the docs and figure that out

[wild gate]

thanks

Can someone help me put pagination on this? I've been trying for a couple of hours but it just keeps giving me error so i restarted it without the pagniation

[fast osprey]

Error?

[somber sky]

js keeps saying button has no attribute to response

[fast osprey]

Please follow these examples

Also, app commands do not receive a context. You should not be calling the parameter ctx

[somber sky]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/TNHA

i did this and it doesnt give me errors but it just doesnt do anything interaction failed

[fast osprey]

Are you logging anything?

There is code here which would definitely cause an error

And when you say you get interaction failed, that happens when?

[somber sky]

when i click either of the buttons

[somber sky]

and no idk what to log tbh

[fast osprey]

Then send the view code please

this is a command

[somber sky]

yes its a command

[fast osprey]

But you're saying the failure is happening with a button

[somber sky]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/PV2Q

[fast osprey]

Please. Read the examples I sent

and start from those

[somber sky]

i did but ill do it again ig

[fast osprey]

You did not

Your view looks different from the examples. You should START from the examples, not try and pinpoint differences off of whatever you started with

[somber sky]

because i didnt use the examples i read it and i didnt understand so i js did it my own way and it didnt work

[fast osprey]

You started with examples/tutorials someone made for another library

[obsidian dune]

does anyone have a GitHub link to a working up to date multipurpose bot that i could directly clone into vs code and add a token and run?

[wanton current]

maybe redbot

[obsidian dune]

you know anything besides

[wanton current]

can just search with the discordbot tag on github

or discord.py or whatever

omg

[tired star]

is it normal that when syncing slash commands in takes a long time before it appears on discord?

[fast osprey]

Nope it's basically instant

Sometimes you have to reload your client, or you're not syncing what you think you are

[tired star]

ok thx

[craggy anvil]

Hello, i have this code:

@bot.event
async def on_guild_channel_create(channel, ctx):
    # Check if the channel name starts with "bitcoin", "litecoin", or "eth"
    if channel.name.lower().startswith(("bitcoin", "litecoin", "eth")):
        unique_id = f"zxczxczxc"
        await ctx.send(unique_id)
        asyncio.sleep(1)
        await ctx.send("Send us user id of guy you're dealing with!")```

How should i add bot.event to detect next message that user will send(User id), if it's valid user id from server then overwrite his permissions to read and send messages in channel

dont mind unique id i wrote it manualy for sending it here because it was messing up backsticks message

[golden portal]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.wait_for

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.wait\_for

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

Waits for a WebSocket event to be dispatched.

This could be used to wait for a user to reply to a message, or to react to a message, or to edit a message in a self-contained way.

The `timeout` parameter is passed onto [`asyncio.wait_for()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#asyncio.wait_for). By default, it does not timeout. Note that this does propagate the [`asyncio.TimeoutError`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-exceptions.html#asyncio.TimeoutError) for you in case of timeout and is provided for ease of use.

In case the event returns multiple arguments, a [`tuple`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#tuple) containing those arguments is returned instead. Please check the [documentation](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord-api-events) for a list of events and their parameters.

This function returns the **first event that meets the requirements**...

[slate swan]

having a problem getting to use prefix and slash commands onto the same bot

[mild token]

You want to use prefix command or don't want to use?

[slate swan]

i have slash commands but the prefix commands dont work for some reason

[mild token]

If u have @app_command then I don't think it will work for normal commands

It will only work for slash

[slate swan]

i have it like this

@bot.tree.command(name="test")

[mild token]

Yeh u r adding it to tree

Remove tree and then try

[slate swan]

ye i want slash and prefix also

[mild token]

For same command?

[slate swan]

no

different names

[mild token]

Then don't add that to tree then it should work i belive ,I have not tried it myself but it should work iirc

[slate swan]

alright

[mild token]

If u add that to tree then I belive it will be added to slash category

[vocal laurel]

use hybird commands then

it is the same command but can be slash or prefix

[limber jolt]

I need some help I have loads of cogs but when I load them I get a error saying the folder does not exist.

Wait

Nvm I fixed It

[trim oriole]

hi

how is a interaction different from commands

[limber jolt]

Interactions are mostly menus butons or slash commands.

[trim oriole]

so stuff like !userinfo is just command?

which display userinfo formatted

[limber jolt]

Yes. But you can have /userinfo

They are the same thing

type /

and you can see slash commands

[trim oriole]

i thought interaction performs a certain task for us?

rather than output

[limber jolt]

You cant do that for commands

[limber jolt]

No?

Or I dont think

I dont rlly user interactions

[trim oriole]

like if i do /ping

how is slash commands different from like if i make a command using Command and make command_prefix /

or is there a class for slash commands

[hearty basalt]

then it will be a prefix command and won't use interactions

[drowsy thunder]

Slash command is application commands and if the prefix is / then there will be no interactions.
Prefix commands are not recommended tho personally

Anyone wanna join a bot team dm me 🙂

[fast osprey]

There's a whole list of things that slash commands support which prefix don't and vice versa. They are two separate systems with different behavior really

[grand moss]

not sure I understand this

works for the other prefix commands

this is the whole thing:

#help/list command
@bot.command()
async def help(ctx):
  embed=discord.embed(
    colour=discord.Colour.blue(),
    description="\n1. ping\n2. hi\n3. hello\n4. inspire\n5. dog\n6. cat",
    title="Command List",
    timestamp=current_time
  )
  await ctx.send("\n", embed=embed)

nvm got it, changed help to command

[fast osprey]

dpy bots ship with a default help command

Probably does what you want but cleaner. You can augment it if you want to change how it displays

[grand moss]

hmm, would you happen to know where I can read up more

[fast osprey]

https://gist.github.com/InterStella0/b78488fb28cadf279dfd3164b9f0cf96

Other option being moving to slash commands which are largely self documenting

[grand moss]

thanks a lot, I'll go through this

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.fetch\_ban

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

Retrieves the [`BanEntry`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.BanEntry) for a user.

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

[young dagger]

Do you actually know what's causing the issue?

[fast osprey]

Yes, and the reviewing the documentation for the method you're using should make it clear what the issue is

[young dagger]

I still don't get it

[fast osprey]

Read the documentation, and check the expected inputs and outputs

compare what you are passing into the method with what the documentation says you should be

[young dagger]

I already did

[fast osprey]

So

• What are you passing into fetch_ban
• What does the documentation say you should be

[young dagger]

It says to use an ID which I did

[fast osprey]

It does not

Review the Parameters section of that method

It tells you the type it wants

[young dagger]

user (abc.Snowflake)

[fast osprey]

Yes. That is not an integer

[dense falcon]

You'd want to get a user from the ID using get_user() or fetch_user()

then put that into fetch_ban

[fast osprey]

Snowflake is a type. It isn't just a fancy way of calling an integer

(You already have a Snowflake)

They don't need to get or fetch a user, given they already have one

[dense falcon]

ah yeah pass member into it or smth

[young dagger]

ctx.guild.fetch_ban(member)

[dense falcon]

I'd try it ye

[young dagger]

Could I also use something like ctx.guild.fetch_ban(discord.Object(member.id))

[dense falcon]

probably, but why?

[young dagger]

Or that would be the same as member

[dense falcon]

that would be the same as member

since member is a discord.User, getting the object with member's ID would just return the same user

[young dagger]

Oh, I see thanks. I'm still confused why it says to use Snowflake, and when I do it gives me an error?

[fast osprey]

Snowflake is a base type. It's just a holder for a discord object id. Other types (like user, member, channel, guild) implement it

[young dagger]

Got it now. So I was using an id from an integer that doesn't exist

[fast osprey]

You weren't. The library was. It was expecting you to give it a Snowflake, which it would assume has a .id attribute

[young dagger]

Mhm

[craggy anvil]

how should i use discord.py to add buttons to my discord embed, didnt code bots for long now, and my bot got verified not long ago so i have to hop on updates 🙂

[wanton current]

there's button examples in the repo

[craggy anvil]

An error occurred: expected Item not tuple

            if user:
                await channel.set_permissions(user, read_messages=True, send_messages=True)
                await channel.send(f"@{user}")
                embed = discord.Embed(title="Example Embed", description="This is an example embed with buttons", color=0x37f563)

                view.add_item(item=item2)
                await channel.send(embed=embed, view=view)```

What's up with this error huh

[somber sky]

when im pulling/pushing from vscode to github and i have databases that i edited do i just not do it or what

[quick gust]

just not do what?

[hushed galleon]

your first two item lines have a trailing comma at the end, that implicitly puts them inside a tuple

!e py x = "Hello world!", print(x)

[unkempt canyon]

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

('Hello world!',)

[craggy anvil]

Oh so item = blabla,
Item1= blabla,
item2 = blabla

Right?

[hushed galleon]

yeah, those trailing commas are the cause

also i would suggest defining buttons using the decorator style instead, that'll make it easier to write callback functions for them: ```py
class MyView(discord.ui.View):
@discord.ui.button(label="Greet", style=discord.ButtonStyle.primary)
async def greet(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, button: discord.ui.Button):
await interaction.response.send_message(f"Hello there, {interaction.user.mention}!")

To use:

view = MyView()
await channel.send(..., view=view)```

[craggy anvil]

Ohh will keep in mind

[median radish]

i would really like someone

to teach me on how to learn python and discord bots and tools etc

whoever is very advanced and has day to day time to teach i will really appreciate it, small payment at the end

[fast osprey]

Rule 9
Do not offer or ask for paid work of any kind.

[median radish]

Rules 8

@fast osprey

[fast osprey]

Well that's not very nice

[median radish]

do u code discord bots

[fast osprey]

[median radish]

so how did u start?

to learn

[fast osprey]

Well for starters, I had 7 years of industry python experience under my belt

[median radish]

that isnt telling me how u start..

[fast osprey]

I started by learning programming fundamentals, which I did at a 4 year full time university

[median radish]

im looking for basic python lessons for starters, tips i am looking for

[median radish]

oh hell nahh

how old is u my boy 💀

[fast osprey]

Pretty probing question from an online rando

[median radish]

huh

dont make it weird

[fast osprey]

I'm not the one doing anything, trust me

[median radish]

just where did u go to learn fundamentals

[median radish]

👍

[fast osprey]

From university courses and text books

[median radish]

oh hell no

so u cant learn it online?

all i really want to know is how to make like discord bots and databases and shi

[fast osprey]

And you will need programming and python fundamentals before you do that

the official python docs are pretty good, though they do rely on some base programming knowledge

[median radish]

where i get them

and what is minimum age to learn all this. can u learn at a young age

[fast osprey]

Googling python docs is a good start

[median radish]

thanks

[fast osprey]

These concepts build on top of each other and take time to learn, so if you're starting from scratch this is an investment

[median radish]

look

[median radish]

commandmenu = ' HELLO WORLD '
print (commandmenu)

I am learning so much LOL

[median radish]

this is the only thing that seems to make sense in my head

[midnight herald]

This may be a super silly question but. Is it by any chance possible to make a bot that can edit google sheets?

Or at the very least, read and take the values of a google sheet?

[wanton current]

yeah

[midnight herald]

Then, is it possible to make it so the bot can edit one google sheet using the values of another google sheet? (Lets say member 1 uses their own sheet to use a command that changes the values of member 2’s cell d:6 using the value of member of member 1’s cell d:4. Or maybe even a formula using said values?)

[wanton current]

i dont see why not

use the google docs api

[midnight herald]

Mkay.

[young dagger]

Or you could just do

print("Hello World")

[void mauve]

Is there a way to find out inviter user id of the specific user in the guild besides scraping the whole response from https://discord.com/api/v9/guilds/{guild_id}/members-search?

        await interaction.response.send_message("Hello World")

What would be the javascript equivalent to this? My friends trying to make a bot in javascript and IDK javascript ;-; im hoping someone here can help lol

[fast osprey]

Asking how to make something in js really isn't in the remit for the Python server

[mild token]

Is it possible to find with whose invite someone joined?

Or is it by a vanity url?

[violet crow]

ctx.guild.members returns list of all members?

[merry cliff]

yes

It might need the server memb ers intent

[limber jolt]

My cogs dont work help

[sick birch]

just use the members tab

unless you're doing some sort of leaderboard tracking thing

[sick birch]

there are many reasons cogs don't work

[limber jolt]

Failed to load cog: Extension 'cogs.input' has no 'setup' function.

[sick birch]

does your input cog have a setup function?

[limber jolt]

async def setup(bot):

[sick birch]

can you show the whole code

[limber jolt]

Im testing smth for another bot.

        else:
            await ctx.send('Invalid channel ID. Please provide a valid channel ID.')

    @commands.command()
    async def log(self, ctx):
        # Get the log channel for the current guild
        channel_id = log_channels.get(ctx.guild.id)
        if channel_id:
            channel = self.bot.get_channel(channel_id)
            if channel:
                await channel.send('A log has been created.')
            else:
                await ctx.send('Log channel not found.')
        else:
            await ctx.send('Log channel is not set. Use !logchannel <channel_id> to set it.')

async def setup(bot):
    await bot.add_cog(input(bot))```

[sick birch]

where is your bot.load_extension

[limber jolt]

from discord.ext import commands
import sqlite3


# Database setup
conn = sqlite3.connect('shifts.db')
cursor = conn.cursor()


# Bot setup
intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.message_content = True

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
    print(f'Logged in as {bot.user} (ID: {bot.user.id})')

        print('Cogs loaded successfully')
    except Exception as e:
        print(f'Failed to load cog: {e}')

bot.run('Token')``` This is In my bot.py

[sick birch]

and this is your input.py?

[limber jolt]

Yes.

[hushed galleon]

this is with discord.py 2.0 right? weird that it didnt tell you a different error since the commands.Bot(command_prefix='!') declaration inside your extension module should have raised a TypeError for missing the intents= argument

[sick birch]

yeah i'm not sure it's 2.0

it would explain the setup function not found

though, shouldn't it say it's not a function or similar?

@limber jolt can you get us your discord.py version?

[sick birch]

same thing with load_extensions, it should be giving them a NoneType is not awaitable error

[hushed galleon]

but if it was able to load the other extensions without that error, it likely is dpy

[limber jolt]

Alright

discord.py or discord?

[hushed galleon]

in which case there should have been a different exception for failing to load the module, so perhaps input.py just isn't saved?

[limber jolt]

It should be i left It for like a whole day

[hushed galleon]

err both shouldnt be installed at the same time

do you have any other libraries like nextcord or py-cord? those would conflict too

[limber jolt]

They are same thing.

[limber jolt]

no

SOrry If I sound stupid just woke up

[sick birch]

you may wanna double check, if you aren't using a venv it can conflict from other projects if you installed another library in the past

pip list lists all packages

[hushed galleon]

discord might be a mirror of discord.py, but they overwrite each other's files which can occasionally result in some obscure bugs

[mild token]

Oh it's there cool

[dusky pine]

mfw you pip installed discord.js

[mild token]

Is it possible to accept attachment with slash commands? Or any other attachment?

[limber jolt]

As I do both

[sick birch]

i think slash commands do support attachments

[mild token]

Cool

[dusky pine]

just pointing out, you pip installed (pip is a Python package manager) a JS library

[mild token]

It will be in bytes format right?

[limber jolt]

I removed It

[sick birch]

from discordjs import Client
from javascript import console

client = Client()

client.on("ready", lambda:
    console.log("Bot is ready")
)

async def msg(message):
    if message.content.startswith("!ping"):
        await message.channel.send("pong")

client.on("message", msg)

client.login('Token')

this is kind of funny

someone tried to recreate discord.js in python

[hushed galleon]

dont worry, that discord.js package looks like its missing its own module anyway

[sick birch]

oh its by one of those youtube discord bot tutorial people

[limber jolt]

I removed discord.js and i still get error

[mild token]

If u r in vsc kill terminal and reopen new one and then try

[limber jolt]

already tried. Same error

[mild token]

[limber jolt]

idk

@sick birch Its still not owrking 😭

working*

await message[0].delete()

how this can print content but when calling .delete() it fails?

another thing i would like to ask how frequently message data get cached?

[golden portal]

wdym frequently? it gets cache as soon as on_message event gets fired

that message was probably deleted before you had the time to delete them, delete(delay=0) would put it in a task which suppress error btw

[mild token]

try to send and delete 5 times in a row very frequently

[mild token]

got it

another thing i would like to ask i am trying to log deleted messages with on_message_delete how will i go for embed logging? like should i send full embed which got deleted?

[golden portal]

would just store the dict of that embed, embed.to_dict()

[mild token]

another thing i would like to ask , does the event tells who deleted the message?

[golden portal]

nothin, you have to use audit log through guild.audit_logs

[mild token]

is there any event which tells?

[golden portal]

nope, people would usually use audit logs inside on_message_delete

[mild token]

oh u mean audit logs is a method inside it?

[golden portal]

yea

!d discord.Guild.audit_logs

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.audit\_logs

async for ... in audit_logs(*, limit=100, before=..., after=..., oldest_first=..., user=..., action=...)```
Returns an [asynchronous iterator](https://docs.python.org/3/glossary.html#term-asynchronous-iterator) that enables receiving the guild’s audit logs.

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

Examples

Getting the first 100 entries:

```py
async for entry in guild.audit_logs(limit=100):
    print(f'{entry.user} did {entry.action} to {entry.target}')
```...

[mild token]

oh i thought app audit log u r talking about

this thing tells who deleted the messages and how many it did?

[mild token]

how can i get number of message deleted? with just on_message_delete?

[golden portal]

nop use on_bulk_message_delete

[mild token]

: ( i will ask my friend to use audit logs

[golden portal]

oke

[slate swan]

how do u fix numpy not avalible

[honest falcon]

@bot.command()
async def create_thread(ctx):
    channel = ctx.channel
    thread = await channel.create_thread(name="My Thread", reason="Thread created by bot command")
    await ctx.send(f"Thread created: {thread.mention}")

when i use the command, the bot just create an "#unknow" thread, i think because it a private thread, how do i make it public?

[fast osprey]

!d discord.TextChannel.create_thread

[unkempt canyon]

discord.TextChannel.create\_thread

await create_thread(*, name, message=None, auto_archive_duration=..., type=None, reason=None, invitable=True, slowmode_delay=None)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Creates a thread in this text channel.

To create a public thread, you must have [`create_public_threads`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Permissions.create_public_threads). For a private thread, [`create_private_threads`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Permissions.create_private_threads) is needed instead.

New in version 2.0.

[fast osprey]

Either create it off a message or specify in the type parameter

[craggy anvil]

Why this happens:

Explanation:

1. I click button
2. It sends Confirmed because it was coded to send that, but button still loads like it wasnt clicked
3. Shows error "This interaction failed"

Why does it show error if it did what i coded it to do

[timber dragon]

That means you aren't responding to the interaction

You should be using be interaction.response.send_message

[slate swan]

Hi I am just a newbie in python but I decided to make a project which will be verifying users and then giving them a role
Like when users join my server they can't message until they go to app link and verify I have seen this in many big servers and want to learn how it works

But I couldn't find it

[fast osprey]

This entirely depends on what exactly you're verifying about them

Verifying that they're a human? That they've read some rules? That they have the email they say they do? etc etc

[slate swan]

They are human and also fetching their email IDs and storing them as CSV when they authorise

I once Manage to get email IDs but couldn't implement verify system

[fast osprey]

It is prohibitively difficult for you as an individual to verify if someone is a human. If you want to do this effectively, you will need to integrate with an interactive captcha service or the like

[craggy anvil]

import discord

class confirmview(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self, reset_callback, currency):

        if len(interaction.message.mentions) >= 2:
            if interaction.user == interaction.message.mentions[0]:
                self.sender_confirmed = True
                self.sender = interaction.user
            elif interaction.user == interaction.message.mentions[1]:

            await interaction.response.send_message(embed=embed)

    async def incorrect(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, button: discord.ui.Button):
        await self.reset_callback(interaction)
        await interaction.message.delete()

    async def confirmation_complete(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):
        embed = interaction.message.embeds[0]
        embed.title = "Confirmed Role Identities"
        embed.description = "Both users have confirmed their roles within this deal."
        embed.set_field_at(0, name=f"Sending {self.currency}", value=self.sender.mention, inline=True)
        embed.set_field_at(1, name=f"Receiving {self.currency}", value=self.receiver.mention, inline=True)

        deal_amount_embed = discord.Embed(title="Deal Amount", description="Please state the amount we are expected to receive in USD. (eg. 100.59)")
        await interaction.message.channel.send(embed=deal_amount_embed)

Why it doesnt work?

i mean i want it to edit embed, remove buttons from it and send deal amount (new) embed after both people clicked correct button

and if one person clicked correct button disable it for that person

[craggy anvil]

hewp

[golden portal]

you need to describe what doesnt work about the code

[craggy anvil]

litteraly what i wanted to do doesn't work

[craggy anvil]

these listed stuff.

i am not even sure if i coded it right

but it comes to this stage:

now it should remove buttons, edit that embed on top and send new one

[golden portal]

when you change the button attributes, you need to edit the message with your current view so it get reflected on discord

so in your confirmation_complete where you had self.clear_items(), just do await interaction.message.edit(embed=embed, view=self)
or better yet, just set the view to None that will do the same thing by removing the view from the message

[limber jolt]

PLEASE HELP MEEE. This stupid cog IS taking forever to load. Theres nothing wrong with It at all

[pure glacier]

the buttons are showing interaction failed

message.txt: https://pastecord.com/akulonyriv

[quick gust]

wait are you defining the class inside your command...?

[fast osprey]

The view class should be separate, and it internally should be declaring/adding whatever items it has

[limber jolt]

U talking to me?

[quick gust]

yeah, read what solstice said

[limber jolt]

async def setup(bot):
    await bot.add_cog(input(bot))```

[fast osprey]

What is leading you to believe this is taking time

[limber jolt]

As all my other ones have taken a day and then they work but this one has been taking awhile

[slate swan]

can some1 help fix RuntimeError: Numpy is not available

[fast osprey]

What exactly is taking a day, and how are you narrowing it down to it being caused by this code?

[limber jolt]

For the cogs to work. ANd Its being caused by It bc when I run my bot.py i get this error

Failed to load cog: Extension 'cogs.input' has no 'setup' function.

[fast osprey]

And is the above the cogs.input module? That doesn't seem right

[wild gate]

@client.event
async def help(ctx):
await ctx.send("Here are the available commands\n")
how would I edit this cuz when I do !help in my server I get
​No Category:
check_channel
help Shows this message
shutdown_bot

Type !help command for more info on a command.
You can also type !help category for more info on a category.

[fast osprey]

The library has a default help command already, which is what you're seeing

[wild gate]

thanks

[limber jolt]

So what would hte correct code be?

[fast osprey]

No I mean it clearly has a setup method

It would not cause the error you sent

[limber jolt]

Thats what Im saying

[fast osprey]

Does the code you sent belong to a file called input.py that lives in a subfolder named cogs

[limber jolt]

Yes

[fast osprey]

You may need to import cogs.input and inspect the module, because it doesn't seem to be what you think it is

[limber jolt]

erm...

How od i inspect It?

Do*

[fast osprey]

import x
print(x.__file__)
print(x.setup)
