ho-

[fast osprey]

Can you put all of bot.py in a paste service and send it? Removing any tokens

[limber jolt]

from discord.ext import commands
import sqlite3
import cogs.input



conn = sqlite3.connect('shifts.db')
cursor = conn.cursor()


# Bot setup
intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.message_content = True
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="!", intents=intents)

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

    try:
        await bot.load_extension('cogs.shift')  
        await bot.load_extension('jishaku')
        await bot.load_extension('cogs.fun')
        await bot.load_extension('cogs.utility')
        await bot.load_extension('cogs.moderation')
        await bot.load_extension('cogs.input')
        print('Cogs loaded successfully')
    except Exception as e:
        print(f'Failed to load cog: {e}')
        print(cogs.input.__file__)
print(cogs.input.setup)

bot.run('Cant have my token (:')```

Its small

[fast osprey]

There's a few things that are major issues here. But no idea why it would think that module lives in bot.py

wait, that's not you actually printing the module file -_-

please put the debugging prints at the top of your file before you do anything else

[limber jolt]

I put It at the top unter the imports and i get the same thing

[fast osprey]

Show your code, and show what you're getting

you should be printing the __file__ first

[limber jolt]

from discord.ext import commands
import sqlite3
import cogs.input

print(cogs.input.__file__)
print(cogs.input.setup)



conn = sqlite3.connect('shifts.db')
cursor = conn.cursor()


# Bot setup
intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.message_content = True
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="!", intents=intents)

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

    try:
        await bot.load_extension('cogs.shift')  
        await bot.load_extension('jishaku')
        await bot.load_extension('cogs.fun')
        await bot.load_extension('cogs.utility')
        await bot.load_extension('cogs.moderation')
        await bot.load_extension('cogs.input')
        print('Cogs loaded successfully')
    except Exception as e:
        print(f'Failed to load cog: {e}')


bot.run('Token')

output:

[fast osprey]

And if you go to that directory and file, does it have a setup method?

[limber jolt]

No the file Is 100% empty in the folder but not iN VScode

I put the code In It

[fast osprey]

Did you...not save the file

[limber jolt]

Its meant to auto save

But clearly not

[fast osprey]

That'll definitely do it lol

[limber jolt]

You wish

Still get It

Has no setup function but It does

[fast osprey]

Error doesn't lie

[wanton current]

not with that attitude

[limber jolt]

Well f*ck me cuz Im staring at it..

[trim oriole]

using slash commands also need a bot like bot = discord.ext.commands.Bot(command_prefix=".", intents=intents)?

i mean am not using command_prefix or prefix commands

but still to make a Bot i need to give it

[merry cliff]

Yeah

[sick birch]

not necessarily, no

you need a CommandTree more than that

[trim oriole]

i make it by bot.tree.command decorator?

btw is this ok i am learning buttons i think i made a heads tails ```py
class HeadnTail(discord.ui.View):
def init(self):
super().init(timeout=None)
self.heads = True if random.choice(["heads","tails"]) == "heads" else False

@discord.ui.button(label="Heads",style=discord.ButtonStyle.red)
async def heads(self, interaction: Interaction, button: discord.Button):
    if self.heads:
        await interaction.response.send_message("Its head")
    else:
        await interaction.response.send_message("It was tails")

@discord.ui.button(label="Tails",style=discord.ButtonStyle.blurple)
async def tails(self, interaction: Interaction, button: discord.Button):
    if not self.heads:
        await interaction.response.send_message("Its tails")
    else:
        await interaction.response.send_message("It was heads")

@bot.tree.command(name="toss")
async def toss(interaction: Interaction):
await interaction.response.send_message(content="Choose heads or tails",view=HeadnTail())

[fast osprey]

Client supports app commands, you don't need ext.commands at all. You just would make your own CommandTree if you were using Client

[fast osprey]

What's the output of py -m pip freeze?

Pasting large amounts of code

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

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

[slate swan]

oh aigh

[slate swan]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/CGJQ

[fast osprey]

Yeah you've got a load of competing libraries

[slate swan]

how do ifix that

[fast osprey]

You should pick one discord library you want to work with, uninstall the rest, then reinstall that one

it's up to you which one you pick

[slate swan]

how do i do that

[fast osprey]

Which part

[quick gust]

you pip uninstall <lib> to uninstall a library

[slate swan]

i wold have to do it to alot of my libs

[quick gust]

add commas

[slate swan]

oh aigh

[quick gust]

but first decide which one u want to use

[fast osprey]

(preferably anything you do with python goes through py, i.e. py -m pip uninstall ...)

[slate swan]

wdym

[quick gust]

^^

[slate swan]

whats the discord librarys i have

[quick gust]

Ideally you should use discord.py

[fast osprey]

anything in that list which says discord

[slate swan]

ok

[slate swan]

so uninstall everything but discord.py

[fast osprey]

and then reinstall it with a 2.0+ version

[slate swan]

how do i reinstall with a specific version

[fast osprey]

Could just uninstall, then install it again

[slate swan]

what reinstall discord.py?

after uninstalling other discord libs

[quick gust]

while installing the lib, specify the version with ==<version>. Or if u want the latest version you could do py -m pip install -U discord.py

[slate swan]

ok

[fast osprey]

(probably also using --force-reinstall)

[slate swan]

pip install discord.py--force-reinstall ?

[fast osprey]

no, --force-reinstall is a parameter you'd put separately in addition to the above

Or, just uninstall discord.py and reinstall it

[slate swan]

py -m pip install -U discord.py --force-reinstall

[slate swan]

just uninstalled all and reinstalled discord.py

[fast osprey]

Then you can't use the other libraries you were trying to use

you need to pick one library, and have your code use it

You got yourself into a state where you were picking from different libraries that are incompatible with each other. discord.py almost definitely supports whatever you're trying to do, but you have to use its syntax if you want to pick that one

[slate swan]

if i send u my code can u change it do fit discord.py?

[fast osprey]

I will not be modifying your code for you, no

[slate swan]

ok

[fast osprey]

The changes should be fairly straightforward, but I haven't worked with all of these offshoot libraries to know how much they've diverged

[slate swan]

i fixed it, js had topy -m pip install discord_webhook

[fast osprey]

You should not be installing multiple discord libraries

This causes unforeseen instabilities in the future

[slate swan]

does any1 know a fix to this

[twin cargo]

hello guys, this is not an advertisment but i wanna make friends with someone who knows python for discord bots to help me develop my own bot. the idea of the bot is complicated but if everything goes alright there is a chance to make money, even lots of money. dm who is interested in this and also i have no one to speak with((((

[slate swan]

!rule tos

[unkempt canyon]

Rules

5. Do not provide or request help on projects that may violate terms of service, or that may be deemed inappropriate, malicious, or illegal.

[slate swan]

Boost bots are against Discord's ToS, and can easily get your bot and yourself banned

[slate swan]

Read the message of @unkempt canyon above, you won't get help to violate the ToS of Discord

[slate swan]

ik

[slate swan]

ths isnt the boost bot

Obviously, we're not dumb, you realize that

[jaunty sparrow]

Your screenshot literally says boost bot

[dense falcon]

lmfao 😭

[slate swan]

didnt know they were bannable bro

so many ppl habve them

[dense falcon]

what does a boost bot even do......

[slate swan]

boosts a server alot of times in a couple seconds i think

[jaunty sparrow]

Well, now you know. Also chill with the language, don't be rude to someone telling you about the rules

[slate swan]

Sorry

[limber jolt]

I stg pleaseh help me

Im still getting this error

HOLY

I FIXED IT

[limber jolt]

How do I make a slash command resister faster?

[silk wolf]

how you all have active developer badge

[limber jolt]

big brain

[silk wolf]

hm?!

[limber jolt]

How do I make a slash command resister faster?

someoneee

[fast osprey]

What makes you think they aren't registered?

[hearty basalt]

what does resister mean

[limber jolt]

When I do / I cant see them -_-

[hearty basalt]

reload your client

if you synced

[limber jolt]

I've re-ran the code loads

[fast osprey]

not your code, your client

[limber jolt]

Fixed and one more thing

from cogs import cogs.input```

Cogs Is the folder and cogs.input is the name of the file as input is Python I put cogs.input as the filename

[fast osprey]

What's the question?

[limber jolt]

I get a error. Well not a error It says the . is incorrect

[fast osprey]

That's not how imports work

Also if you're loading this as an extension, you don't also need to import

[limber jolt]

I have a file for log channel and when I need to send smth to It In another file idk how It would connect to It. As I dont have a on ready iN the other files

[fast osprey]

[midnight oracle]

XD

[limber jolt]

I need shit from one file to be able to be used In another file

[fast osprey]

Like an extension?

[limber jolt]

I think I fixed It and got it working

[somber sky]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/SNCQ

Basically how the command is supposed to work is you run the command and insert all the stats, the stats transfer to a google sheetwith everything you put. Then if you run the command again and put a username that is already in the google sheet then it will update that persons stats and will add everything you put so for example if you had 5 touchdowns at first and then you do insert again with the same player and add 10 touchdowns then the player should have 15 touchdowns but heres the problem:

Every time I do /insert_qb_stats it works fine. But once I do it again with the same username meaning that it would update the stats, i have no clue why but all the data just messes up, like it passes on data to wrong stats or instead of adding on it just updates the number and idk why.

[fast osprey]

Are you trying to use a google sheet as a database?

[somber sky]

no why

the database is cause i have other commands called /view_stats and /statleaders which shows stat leaders so basiccaly whenever I insert stats it makes a database for those commands but it goes straight to a google sheet that i defined at the top of my code

and im sure there might be an easier way of doing it but it works and its also not the problem the problem is the insertion from the command to the google sheet

[fast osprey]

There are better tools for tracking and storing data in your application. Namely databases

[somber sky]

im sure but im not rlly worried abt that rn im js mainly trying to figure out the google sheet problem and then ill move onto finding better ways to store data application wise

[somber sky]

so do u kno whats wrong w the google sheet or nah

[craggy anvil]

Hey how can i do this:

    async def confirmation_complete(self, channel):
        for msg in self.confirmation_messages:
            await msg.delete()

basically

it gives me error

await msg.delete()
      ^^^^^^^^^^

AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'delete'

ofc but what can i do instead to delete confirmation_messages

[torn solar]

send full code

[craggy anvil]

yea nvm i js used follow up send and it detects msgs now

[slate swan]

“Numpy is not avalible”

[astral tiger]

does anyone what this thing called?

I'm tyna search what this thing called, where it would display the add and remove

i already have the choice input just don't know how to add the display thingy where the user can see the two option of add and remove

[limber jolt]

I have a log_channel = {} but I need that to be used on more than 1 file. How would i do this?

As iN my bot.py I have a log channel command. And I need It to connect with other files so It can send message to that log channel.

[limber jolt]

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route('/')
def home():
    return render_template('index.html')


if __name__ == '__main__':
    app.run(debug=True)```

I get this page cant be reached when I go to the link It gives me

[exotic hazel]

Wait Flask can be used for Discord bots? Cool, I didn't know that

[limber jolt]

No Its a website for It lol

Like a dashboard

[exotic hazel]

Oooh

[sudden birch]

hello guys i have a problem to start my finished bot if anyone is free to help me just dm me 😆

[blissful crane]

it's better to ask your question here as more people will see it

[quick gust]

this question isn't suited for this channel, go to #web-development

[vocal laurel]

you can type hint the arg as typing.Literal["add", "remove"] (making sure you got the import typing)

[limber jolt]

Anyone know how to make a dashboard?

[wanton current]

do you know web development

[trim oriole]

class ConfirmButton(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self):
        self.joined = None
        super().__init__()

    @discord.ui.button(style=discord.ButtonStyle.green, label="Confirm", emoji="🆗")
    async def confirm(self, interaction: Interaction, button: discord.ui.Button):
        self.joined = True
        await interaction.response.send_message(
            ephemeral=True, content="Confirmed Your Place"
        )

    @discord.ui.button(style=discord.ButtonStyle.red, label="Cancel", emoji="❌")
    async def cancel(self, interaction: Interaction, button: discord.ui.Button):
        self.joined = False
        await interaction.response.send_message(

        )

@bot.tree.command(name="comp",description="JOin a COmpi")
async def compi(interaction: Interaction):
    await interaction.response.send_message("Welcome",view=ConfirmButton())
```  is this correct way of making button

now i want the buttons to disappear after user submits

[fast osprey]

You can respond instead with edit_message to edit the message the buttons are on. Passing view=None would remove the buttons

[limber jolt]

Yes

[neon olive]

Guys can anyone suggest me some library's for create a good discord bot ? I want to create discord bot but I only heard about discord.py is there any better library's for that or ?

[fast osprey]

This is pretty subjective. What is it you believe about discord.py to be lacking?

[still briar]

m

[amber moth]

@bot.tree.command(name='command')

Is this a correct way of creating slash commands?

My code is working without any errors but the bot is still not having slash commands

[fast osprey]

Did you sync them?

[drowsy thunder]

You need to sync them either through a command or on ready event.
You can do it in onready event like this:-

bot.tree.sync()

[fast osprey]

You really should not be using on_ready, especially not for things that are heavily rate limited like this

[finite salmon]

you shouldnt sync it in on_ready + its a coroutine method

[drowsy thunder]

I know. Still

That's alot of code to read ngl.
Also I need the function of your code too

[fast osprey]

There already exists a way of giving roles to people. You don't need a bot to do it, and if anything this is just reducing auditing and security

[finite salmon]

Why.

why are you using the on_message event instead of making it into a command

commands handle argument parsing for you

it doesnt have to do anything with replit

and dont use replit for discord bots whatsoever

use an actual code editor / ide for coding and buy a vps for hosting it

[fast osprey]

You can right click on members and add roles from that

[craggy anvil]

bro i cant believe this, it just stopped working for no reason i will kms

my code:

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/4VZQ

and my error when i send user id or username of guy i want to deal with:

An error occurred: list index out of range

[flint nexus]

Add a condition in which you make sure that the list is not empty before you try to get the first item from it

[craggy anvil]

why would list be empty tho, my input was user id or username

it worked like few hours ago

[mild token]

Can u show your traceback plz

[craggy anvil]

It's okay i fixed it

Thanks for trying to help tho

[mild token]

Anyone have added application emoji and used using d.py?

[vocal laurel]

its the same as a normal emoji according to danny

[trim oriole]

what should i use to make slash commands and interaction UI in discord.py extend discord.Client with CommandTree or use discord.ext.command.Bot

[golden portal]

commands.Bot if you plan to use cogs

[marsh schooner]

hey anyone

online here

[tight obsidian]

Don't ask if there's an expert here. Just ask your question with all the details

[sick birch]

depends. do you plan on ever having text commands?

if so, use bot

if you're 100% sure you're never going to add text commands you can simply use client with an attached command tree

[trim oriole]

i may need somecommand also ig

i go with Bot

[sick birch]

sure

[limber jolt]

Can someone give me dashboard src?

[slate swan]

We don't do that here, we help you code it for issues you face

[slate swan]

What kind of question is that? Just try it and see

There's no partner thing anymore, so it's pretty simple

And vertification is currently stopped, since some years - so yeah

And common sense would tell you that you can't verify a server called "Discord" as it's the perfect scam

[snow coral]

How do I change a roles color and icon? Couldn’t find it in the docs

[fast osprey]

!d discord.Role.edit

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Role.edit

await edit(*, name=..., permissions=..., colour=..., color=..., hoist=..., display_icon=..., mentionable=..., position=..., reason=...)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Edits the role.

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

All fields are optional.

Changed in version 1\.4: Can now pass `int` to `colour` keyword\-only parameter.

Changed in version 2\.0: Edits are no longer in\-place, the newly edited role is returned instead...

[turbid condor]

wasn't that hard to search imo

[amber moth]

@bot.tree.command(name='buy')
async def buy(interaction: discord.Interaction, service_name: str, link: str):
    services = load_services()

How do i make options for service_name instead of having to write the name

[fast osprey]

Is the set of options static or some kind of lookup?

[amber moth]

static

[fast osprey]

!d discord.app_commands.choices

[unkempt canyon]

discord.app\_commands.choices

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

Example...

[amber moth]

Oh but i when i do this the slash command doesn't appear on discord anymore

[fast osprey]

Code? And how are you syncing them?

[amber moth]

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
    print(f'تم تسجيل الدخول باسم {bot.user}')
    
    await bot.tree.sync()
    print("Commands synced with Discord.")

bot.run('YOUR_BOT_TOKEN')

@app_commands.command(name='buy', description='Purchase a service.')
    @app_commands.describe(service_name='The name of the service to buy', link='URL of the service')
    @app_commands.choices(service_name=[
        app_commands.Choice(name='hi', value='eeee'),

I have more options btw

[fast osprey]

What's the signature of the command method?

Also you should remove your syncing from on_ready asap or you're going to rapidly rate limit yourself out of developing

[amber moth]

Oh

[fast osprey]

on_ready fires repeatedly and randomly, and is almost never the answer for something most people are trying to do

[amber moth]

is it the correct way to sync my command anyways?

Why my slash command disappears when i make it with options but when i do it like that

@bot.tree.command(name='buy')
async def buy(interaction: discord.Interaction, service_name: str, link: str):
    services = load_services()

It works

[fast osprey]

It is not

on_ready fires randomly and repeatedly. You do not want to sync randomly and repeatedly. Hence, it is not appropriate

[amber moth]

@fast osprey

Should i give you my code

[fast osprey]

This code including the method signature

[slate swan]

anybody know which is harder to code bots in? py or js?

[fast osprey]

Varies entirely person to person, it's very subjective

[slate swan]

Someone who never touched js: js
Someone who never touched py: py
Someone who never touched js and py: Depends what they want to learn, if you learn you'll know it and then it won't be hard, doesn't matter the language

[vague junco]

Is there a way to completely remove the ability to type not only characters but also other numbers besides 1, 2, 3, 0?

[slate swan]

Wrong channel, something for #1035199133436354600

It's a channel for Discord bots, not basic Python stuff

[vague junco]

Its actually for bot but ok thx

[slate swan]

Your question has nothing to do with discord bots, it's basic Python stuff

[vague junco]

https://tenor.com/view/anime-i-cant-gif-14110305

[slate swan]

It may be part of a discord bot project, but the queso is completely unrelated to discord bots

[craggy anvil]

Wym

[dense falcon]

This is more of just a server-related question, but if I run a bot on a server via ssh, is it possible for me to quit this ssh session without stopping the process?

[slate swan]

Use screen i guess

[wild gate]

client = commands.Bot(command_prefix='!', intents=nextcord.Intents.all(), help_commad=None)
can i add the help_command = None so that I can customize my own help command?

[sick birch]

Yes, look into screen or systemctl or tmux

[sick birch]

Yes

You should pass in your own subclass instead

[willow sluice]

hi guys
i have such code inside my view class. add_buttons is a preparing function that is called inside __init__ and adds pagination buttons. and i also have close button created using @button decorator.
my problem is a close button position under message. i want it to be last one now its first. how can i do this?
https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1256678894245777484/1264721806128971889/image.png?ex=669ee777&is=669d95f7&hm=aef96fc2f3442291ed83a43e00ac60ee25cb9c255c26590965903fc367a23212

    def add_buttons(self):
        self.add_item(PaginationButton(pagination_step=-5, custom_id='prev_pages', emoji=':prev_pages:'))
        self.add_item(PaginationButton(pagination_step=-1, custom_id='prev_page', emoji=':prev_page:'))
        self.add_item(PaginationButton(pagination_step=1, custom_id='next_page', emoji=':next_page:'))
        self.add_item(PaginationButton(pagination_step=5, custom_id='next_pages', emoji=':next_pages:'))

    @discord.ui.button(emoji=':close_x:', style=discord.ButtonStyle.danger)
    async def close_button(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, button: discord.ui.Button):
        await interaction.message.delete()

[fast osprey]

You probably don't want to mix and match add_item with the @ui.button decorator

[willow sluice]

i also tried this way to add close button but that doesnt work either. when i click on button callback is called but message with view isnt deleted. can you recommend another solution for what i want to do?

[timber dragon]

But you can remove and add them in the order you want to

Definitely don't monkeypatch

[timber dragon]

self.clear_items()
...
self.add_item(self.close_button)
self.add_item(...)
...

[willow sluice]

what is self.close_button? can you show example how should i do it

[willow sluice]

how can i add callback for button without using "monkeypatch"?

[fast osprey]

You are already making buttons without monkeypatching

[willow sluice]

we are talking about my last message where i used this #discord-bots message

[fast osprey]

Yes

You're adding 5 buttons. One of them monkeypatches. The other 4 don't

[willow sluice]

but i dont want to create new button class that will implement discord.ui.Button for only 1 button

[fast osprey]

That is purely your own preconception

Classes don't cost you anything

[spiral kiln]

Is there a better way to write line 26?

i understood that by self.close_button you meant function to which decorator was applied. thank you its working now

    def add_buttons(self):
        self.clear_items()

try someth like this

prefixes = ['jeb', 'jim']
if message.content.lower().startswith(tuple(prefixes)):
    pass

[spiral kiln]

Epic, thank you.

[willow sluice]

i would advise you to make a separate command for this. this is not best way to use on_message event for your task

[spiral kiln]

i dont really know how to do that

[willow sluice]

ask chatgpt https://chatgpt.com/ or google it. there is really lot of examples how to make your own command

you can also set several prefixes for your bot or aliases for command

[golden portal]

use the built-in command extension. see command walkthrough

it also support multiple prefixes

[spiral kiln]

oh i see you want me to trigger it with a command

i think this is fine for now

I do have another question though, how do i make it show the thing that appears when another user is typing while the LLM is generating?

[trim oriole]

@bot.tree.command(name="bm",description="bookmarks the content")
async def add_bookmark(interaction: discord.Interaction, bookmarklink: str):
    with open("bookmarks.json",mode="r",encoding="utf-8") as bookmark_store:
        bookmark = json.load(bookmark_store)
        user = interaction.user
        user = str(user)
        print(user,bookmark)

[barren forum]

how to set bot status like , playing game , watching

[sacred vigil]

not sure but might be something like this

activity = discord.Streaming(name="Minecraft", url="https://www.twitch.tv/Minecraft")
await bot.change_presence(activity=activity)

[sacred vigil]

found this

# Setting `Playing ` status
await bot.change_presence(activity=discord.Game(name="a game"))

# Setting `Streaming ` status
await bot.change_presence(activity=discord.Streaming(name="My Stream", url=my_twitch_url))

# Setting `Listening ` status
await bot.change_presence(activity=discord.Activity(type=discord.ActivityType.listening, name="a song"))

# Setting `Watching ` status
await bot.change_presence(activity=discord.Activity(type=discord.ActivityType.watching, name="a movie"))```

[barren forum]

as i see , my code is correct but still it is not working

[sacred vigil]

hm

[barren forum]

so do you have any idea , what should i do now

[sacred vigil]

activity = discord.Game(name="Minecraft")
await bot.change_presence(activity=activity, status=discord.Status.do_not_disturb)```

that works for me

[barren forum]

do you use any other module for this .?

[sacred vigil]

this is the code i used to test it
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/K7TQ

@barren forum

[barren forum]

oh wait i m trying , btw thanks , i think i should write this command below the print

let's see

[trim oriole]

how to add subcommands here

[sacred vigil]

?

[trim oriole]

like i need /bm add /bm view /bm delete

[sacred vigil]

not sure, i'm not that good with slash commands

would prob be like options/choices for the add,view,delete ig

[stone gate]

its not that hard

before defining your commands, you need to define the group

for example, your group would be

bm

[trim oriole]

oh but then i could like add mode = None in my above function and make conditions for it ig

[sacred vigil]

^^

[trim oriole]

oh

[stone gate]

so literally you'd do bm = discord.app_commands.Group(name="bm", description="bookmark commands")

[trim oriole]

there isnt bot.tree.group

[stone gate]

then you do

@bm.command(name="add", description="adds a bookmark") for ur command

this is how its set up in my cog

[trim oriole]

this return a Group but like this my whole code ```py
class Bot(discord.ext.commands.Bot):
def init(self):
intents = discord.Intents.all()
super().init(
intents=intents, command_prefix=discord.ext.commands.when_mentioned
)

async def on_ready(self):
    print("running")
    await self.tree.sync()

bot = Bot()

@bot.tree.command(name="hi",description="Says hi")
async def hello(interaction: discord.Interaction):
await interaction.response.send_message("hi there")

@bot.tree.command(name="bm",description="bookmarks the content")
async def add_bookmark(interaction: discord.Interaction, bookmarklink: str):
with open("bookmarks.json",mode="r",encoding="utf-8") as bookmark_store:
bookmark = json.load(bookmark_store)
user = interaction.user
user = str(user)
print(user,bookmark)
if user not in bookmark:
bookmark[user] = []
with open("bookmarks.json",mode="r+",encoding="utf-8") as bookmark_store:
bookmark[user].append(bookmarklink)
json.dump(bookmark,bookmark_store)
await interaction.response.send_message("Bookmark saved")

@bot.group(name="mygroup")
async def bot_grp(interaction: discord.Interaction):
pass
bot.run(token)``` i am not using app_commands

ignore last line

[stone gate]

I think its

@bot.group

[trim oriole]

but now bot_grp.tree doesnt work

[stone gate]

ah

[trim oriole]

is there someplace where i can really understand this library i just started yesterday

[sacred vigil]

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

[trim oriole]

yea im looking docs but still like too many ways to do things

[jaunty cape]

uh first of all, don't sync on_ready

that's all i have to say

goodbye 👋

[trim oriole]

so i should not use discord.ext.commands.Bot?

and use app_commands instead?

[jaunty cape]

no that's not what i'm saying, i'm saying don't sync in the function on_ready

okay bye 👋

[trim oriole]

i got it from the docs i think

in thier examples

[jaunty cape]

instead of syncing on_ready you should sync whenever you make a change
https://about.abstractumbra.dev/discord.py/2023/01/29/sync-command-example.html

when you sync on_ready you sync every time you run your python program, you'll get ratelimited really quickly

[trim oriole]

ohh

[stone gate]

never used tree commands

[jaunty cape]

yeah i don't even know what a tree is, i just use app_commands

as far as i know they're the exact same

[stone gate]

but im seeing this

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/77958066/how-do-i-add-subcommand-support-with-discord-py
and the solution is to use app commands LMAO

[trim oriole]

okh ill look app_commands then.. but thier examples is full of tree commands

[stone gate]

from discord.ext import commands
import discord.utils

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

        response.set_footer(text="PTV")
        await interaction.response.send_message(embed=response)

@client.event
async def on_ready():
    print('The bot is on!')

client.run('YOUR TOKEN')  ```

This is my bot.py file

i use cogs to be more organized, its really helpful

[jaunty cape]

woah why do you need every privileged intent

[stone gate]

its for my roleplay server, I do a lot of stuff with the bot, change roles and nicks, use messages for things, etc

since its for my server specifically I dont care, its easer since I have ADHD and might forget to add them when needed

[jaunty cape]

@bot.event
async def setup_hook() -> None:
    global keep_moving
    keep_moving = False
    await setup_database()

            cog: str = f"{directory}.{filename[:-3]}"
            try:
                await bot.load_extension(cog)
                print(f"Loaded extension: {cog}")
            except Exception as e:
                print(f"Failed to load extension {cog}: {e}")

i like to dynamically load cogs

it looks like you only have two cogs so you don't need to do that

[stone gate]

I have like 6-7, but i just deleted them in the one i sent for simplicity

[stone gate]

how does it work?

[jaunty cape]

oh i thought it looked pretty simple to read

[stone gate]

ah it is

but like, its reading from the same level as the bot.py file right?

[jaunty cape]

this code is from my main.py program, cogs (dir) is in the same directory yes

[stone gate]

because i have

bot.py
config.py
scripts.py

commands
admin.py
user.py
clock.py
combat.py
inventory.py
map.py
db.py

the thing is, specially with testing, its easier for me to disable every cog i dont neet in that moment

just comment it out and thats it

[jaunty cape]

i see

[stone gate]

but that looks super cool though!

[jaunty cape]

in my case, i need every Cog to be loaded at the same time

[stone gate]

ooo why?

[jaunty cape]

because well

idk i just need the commands to be loaded

[stone gate]

lmao, fair

guess its useful if you're setting up multiple cogs and you change things constantly

mind if i test it in my bot?

[jaunty cape]

no i don't mind, i really don't care if you took some code from me

smh i'm really bad at english

[stone gate]

dw, me too

[trim oriole]

idk what is a cog is it the client.load() thing that loads it? is it like grouped slash commands?

[stone gate]

its a way to organize your proyect, so instead of having all commands in main.py, you can have the user commands in users.py

[trim oriole]

ok got it

[jaunty cape]

class Miscellaneous(Cog):
    """
    Miscellaneous commands
    """

    def __init__(self, bot: Bot) -> None:
        self.bot = bot

async def setup(bot: Bot):
    await bot.add_cog(Miscellaneous(bot))

basic structure of a Cog with no commands

actually if you use the default discord help command, that docstring gets added as a description of the Cog

[trim oriole]

👍

[barren forum]

why my bot status is not showing ?

[fast osprey]

You should not be using on_ready for this. It fires repeatedly and randomly. You can pass initial presence into the bot constructor instead

[jaunty cape]

can i make a command both a context menu command and a slash command?

[fast osprey]

Given that they support disjoint parameters it's unclear how that would even work

Unless you're trying to make a slash command that accepts a member

[jaunty cape]

i just made two separate commands

it's a solution i guess

[barren forum]

can you write the code?

[jaunty cape]

it's okay bro i have no idea what the hell bro is talking baout either

[fast osprey]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot

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

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

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

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

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

New in version 2\.0\.

[fast osprey]

You can pass activity and status in when creating your bot

[jaunty cape]

^ no idea what this guy is trying to say

[barren forum]

yup , and i did it still It is not working

[dusky pine]

why you hating

do you not know how to pass in arguments to constructors

[jaunty cape]

I’m not, I just don’t know what that guy is trying to say

[jaunty cape]

Now that he said I’m hating now I have no idea what this guy is trying to say ^

[dusky pine]

😂

[fast osprey]

I mean. You could ask a targeted question

[timber dragon]

Let's explain it in baby language:

❌ VERY BAD:

bot = commands.Bot(
    command_prefix=...,
    intents=...,
)

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
    await ...change_presences(activity=..., status=...)

# discord:
on_ready()
.. # after 5 secs
on_ready()
# maybe discord: why tf are you changing presences here, fuck off, <bot dies>
on_ready()
... # after 3 hours
on_ready()
..
on_ready()
on_ready()
# maybe discord: why tf are you changing presences here, fuck off, <bot dies>
on_ready()
...

✅ VERY GOOD:

bot = commands.Bot(
    command_prefix=...,
    intents=...,
    activity=...,
    status=...
)

# discord: oh you want the startup activity to be x and status y? That's easy!

[lucid ember]

for msg in channel.history(limit=5000):

Any idea why this prints as not iterable?

[fast osprey]

!d discord.TextChannel.history

[unkempt canyon]

discord.TextChannel.history

async for ... in history(*, limit=100, before=None, after=None, around=None, oldest_first=None)```
Returns an [asynchronous iterator](https://docs.python.org/3/glossary.html#term-asynchronous-iterator) that enables receiving the destination’s message history.

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

Examples

Usage...

[fast osprey]

There's a usage example in there

[robust fulcrum]

guys how can we get current time of the user calling the command?

[timber dragon]

Can't

Reliably

[robust fulcrum]

nvm i found

[timber dragon]

There is Interaction.locale

Oh? What did you find

[robust fulcrum]

inter.created_at

[timber dragon]

That's the time the interaction was created it in utc

Not at all connected to the user lol

[robust fulcrum]

isn't that the time of interaction created by user?

[timber dragon]

Discord creates and sends interactions

[junior falcon]

hey there, is just 1vCore to low for a discord bot with a ticket feature and little other features?

[dusky pine]

not at all

but really it depends on the scale of your bot

if it's being used by a lot of users concurrently, consider scaling up

[fast osprey]

The only way to reasonably answer this remotely accurately is to run your thing and profile it

[slate swan]

How do i fix Numpy is not avalible

[golden portal]

not rly related to discord bots, try #1035199133436354600

[junior falcon]

it's a private bot

[dusky pine]

then yeah 1vcore should be fine

[junior falcon]

thank you

[hot stump]

in discord.py:
i have a dropdown class:

class Shape_dropdown(discord.ui.Select):
  def __init__(self):
    ...
  async def callback(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):
      if not str(interaction.user.id) in self.custom_id:
        #what should i do here?
      else:
        #do stuff

now i want the dropdown to not update if the user is not permitted (the allowed user are in the custom id). how can i do it?
i didn't even find a way to see what was previously selected

[fast osprey]

You can do whatever other response you'd want

just defer, send a message, etc

[hot stump]

the problem is that discord.py automatically updates the dropdown for you, i want to stop it from happening when a condition is met

[fast osprey]

It doesn't though

[hot stump]

dropdowns (and modals) are updated by discord.py automatically.
https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/interactions/api.html?highlight=callback#discord.ui.Select.callback

i want to to disable it, how can i do it?

[fast osprey]

They are not

discord.py does not make discord api calls (generally) behind your back, and not in this case

What you implement in the callback is what happens. If you implement nothing, nothing happens

[hot stump]

you're right......,this is what i found out:

if u select something on select dropdown, discord client will show it as selected even if the bot did not update the dropdown

u can see in the left is where i triggered the command, and in the right i tried to change the selected color, and it does update there. a simple reload to the right side resets it

[fast osprey]

[dry kelp]

Hello

Discord has added emojis built in bot, But i am having trouble using them.

Using them as normal emojis, What's wrong?

Ah apologies, i forgot the :

[timber dragon]

The name isn't important fwiw
<:_:ID> works everywhere

[spiral kiln]

im trying to make my bot reply to a message instead of message.channel.send anyone know how?

[dry kelp]

Have you tried message.reply?

[spiral kiln]

yeah

[dry kelp]

I just made a small mistake, didnt notice that.

[dry kelp]

That should reply to the message

[spiral kiln]

2024-07-22 09:45:25 ERROR    discord.client Ignoring exception in on_message

Could you send a snippet of your code?

[spiral kiln]

await message.channel.reply(LLM_Output['message']['content'])
        print('output: ' + (LLM_Output['message']['content']))

[dry kelp]

Also that says text channel has no attribute for textchannel, means your message is a channel

I mean for reply, sorry im on phone

You can only reply to a message, you are replying to a channel

[spiral kiln]

oh ok

makes sense

[dry kelp]

You need to ensure the channel you want, and reply to the expected message

[spiral kiln]

so message.channel.______

then .reply

[dry kelp]

What i mean in your code you should have a function that defines the channel you want.

if not channel.id == `channel id here`:
  return

This will check for the channel you want, and ensure all the actions happen in the mentioned channel.

[dry kelp]

Just message.reply

[spiral kiln]

await message.reply(LLM_Output['message']['content'])```

seems to work thanks

:D

[dry kelp]

No worries

[spiral kiln]

One more thing i need help with, you know how when someone types it says they're typing? How can i make that appear while the LLM is generating?

[dry kelp]

Ah that's simple.

[upbeat otter]

!d discord.ext.commands.Context.typing

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Context.typing

async with typing(*, ephemeral=False)```
Returns an asynchronous context manager that allows you to send a typing indicator to the destination for an indefinite period of time, or 10 seconds if the context manager is called using `await`.

In an interaction based context, this is equivalent to a [`defer()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Context.defer) call and does not do any typing calls.

Example Usage:

```py
async with channel.typing():
    # simulate something heavy
    await asyncio.sleep(20)

await channel.send('Done!')
```...

[dry kelp]

For example you can do

async with ctx.typing():
  await asyncio sleep(5)

  await ctx.send("here's your response")

[dry kelp]

I had it

[upbeat otter]

lol

sori

[dry kelp]

[upbeat otter]

😔

[dry kelp]

If it's an interaction command / You can do interaction.typing(): instead of ctx. @spiral kiln

[spiral kiln]

uhh its a message.content.lower().startswith i know its not the best

lol

[dry kelp]

Can you send me the entire command? So i can make you a proper example?

I just would like to see the command parameters.

[spiral kiln]

    if message.content.lower().startswith('jim'):
``` Its called jim as part of an inside joke.

[dry kelp]

.

[dry kelp]

Either way, this is what you need.

[remote thistle]

what are the things I should check/do before releasing the bot?

[spiral kiln]

And it will stop typing when the LLM is done?

[dry kelp]

Usint this right here, yes.

It should if im not mistaken

[spiral kiln]

awesome

i still dont understand async/await lol

or even with

[civic reef]

Is there a discord bot active currently which sends telegram channel msg to the discord server channel?

Active bot? Code is available on internet but I can't host it.

[spiral kiln]

https://top.gg/bot/1123949801613049866

[civic reef]

see their demo video
It's kind of different thing
sends msg from telegram bot chatting to discord channel
I want from telegram channel to discord channel

correct me if that bot is not this

[spiral kiln]

[primal pilot]

I'm trying to update the image inside an embed, that's inside a discord.View, but there's no file argument in the edit_message function

This is how the embed is originally created

Is it just not possible to update the image inside an embed, or is there some other way of doing this?

[fast osprey]

Check the parameters on InteractionResponse.edit_message

[primal pilot]

There is no file parameter. Would there be some way to do this with attachments?

[fast osprey]

That is the list of attachments that will be on the message after the edit. It accepts existing Attachments or new Files

[primal pilot]

Woah, it works now. I thought I tried that before, but maybe I did something wrong last time

Thanks!!

and thats what happens if i try apt like it told me to

[wanton current]

did you try creating a venv?

[somber sky]

yeah but then its making me re install everything else and i have to go in venv everytime to start the bot

nvm i fixed it

[jaunty cape]

I just use the —break-system-packages option

[somber sky]

yeah thats how i fixed it

[robust fulcrum]

Guys how can I get user's current time when the interaction takes place?

I wana get messages past x hours in a channel based on users time

[jaunty cape]

Hey people

Should I store my bot token in a .env or is toml just fine

[sacred vigil]

I'd use .env

[jaunty cape]

I mean it should be okay to just use a toml file in this case right

[hushed galleon]

ive been using my config.toml for the token too, but either way you'd want to configure the file's permissions

[dry kelp]

Hello, is it possible to reply to a message with a webhook?

For example we put the message id as a paremeter of the command, And possibly replying to the message with a webhook.

[jaunty cape]

no

webhooks send messages. they're boring and can't do anything

[mild token]

How I can make this command?

And what it's called?

[golden portal]

context menu*

!d discord.app_commands.CommandTree.context_menu

[unkempt canyon]

discord.app\_commands.CommandTree.context\_menu

@context_menu(*, name=..., nsfw=False, guild=..., guilds=..., auto_locale_strings=True, extras=...)```
A decorator that creates an application command context menu from a regular function directly under this tree.

This function must have a signature of [`Interaction`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.Interaction) as its first parameter and taking either a [`Member`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Member), [`User`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.User), or [`Message`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Message), or a [`typing.Union`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/typing.html#typing.Union) of `Member` and `User` as its second parameter.

Examples...

[mild token]

Is there a way to know with which invite link user joined the server?

[mild token]

Mainly i want to get the user object

[finite salmon]

There isn't anything in the api for that but you can store all invite links across all guilds and check for their use counts. And when a user joins a server check which of the user invites gets incremented, and thats the inviter

But in some cases it won't work though

[mild token]

: ( not reliable then

[finite salmon]

Yeah and there's no other way

But discord alr provides this feature in the app itself

So it's just reinventing the wheel in a worser way

[mild token]

Actually we need that for an event

We are hosting an event in which people who invite more will get something

So we need to maintain leaderboard

But the problem we are facing if someone left then discord invite count doesn't decreases

So we don't know exactly how many people stayed

[finite salmon]

You'll have to keep track of the members the user invites

[mild token]

Hmm

[finite salmon]

Just append it to a list or smt

[mild token]

I have to use db ig

Just list won't help

[finite salmon]

Well yea

[robust fulcrum]

Guys does interaction created_at tells time based on discord server or user's timezone?

[foggy laurel]

ah i have found my favorite channel on this server

what libs are yall using?

[foggy laurel]

Do you know if it returns a long/bigint or if its a date?

Because if it is a long i would guess its millisecond since epoch https://currentmillis.com/

[robust fulcrum]

thats not my question?

[thin raft]

!d discord.Interaction.created_at

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Interaction.created\_at

property created_at```
When the interaction was created.

[thin raft]

maybe discord.dev has more info

cant find it

you could just do a test and change your computer date

and see if it changed

[robust fulcrum]

that returns server time not user's

[thin raft]

i am not understanding your question then

[fast osprey]

In general, discord is not going to tell you where a user lives

[robust fulcrum]

i wana create a command to get messages past 3 hours of a user

so i need to get the local time of a user

[thin raft]

it doesnt matter the time of the user for that

[robust fulcrum]

so how do i get messges past 3 hours when the command ran?

[thin raft]

just use your datetime

[robust fulcrum]

that would be wrong as my time and user's time are different

[thin raft]

yeah but it doesnt work like that

their messages are shown in your time

so -3 hours would still work because it would be the same offset

[robust fulcrum]

can you give one example?

[thin raft]

which hour do my messages appear to you?

[robust fulcrum]

you mean time? 5:09 PM

[thin raft]

its 1.49pm for me

[robust fulcrum]

oh , so what do you wana tell me through this?

[thin raft]

so basically if you fetch my last 3 hours of messages

it will always fetch from now

[robust fulcrum]

how do i fetch last 3 hours of messages? thats my question

[thin raft]

async for channel.history() i think

!d discord.TextChannel.history

[unkempt canyon]

discord.TextChannel.history

async for ... in history(*, limit=100, before=None, after=None, around=None, oldest_first=None)```
Returns an [asynchronous iterator](https://docs.python.org/3/glossary.html#term-asynchronous-iterator) that enables receiving the destination’s message history.

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

Examples

Usage...

[robust fulcrum]

ik but it would return all messages

[thin raft]

add an if

and check for author

[robust fulcrum]

i mean where do i tell it to get only past three hours?

[thin raft]

you can use after=

and set to now - 3 hours

[robust fulcrum]

kk, imma try

[thin raft]

offset = datetime.datetime.now() - datetime.timedelta(hours=3)
async for message in channel.history(after=offset):
  if message.author.id != 123123123:
    continue

   # DO STUFF WITH MESSAGE

that should work

[opal vortex]

speaking of which this is one of my discord bots.

[south spire]

lemme find my message with more details (from a few years ago) and i'll tell you more about the RAM usage

[opal vortex]

oki

[south spire]

oki so i can't share the code because it's not mine to share (will ask the person who made it), but basically if you monkey patch discord.py to prevent it from storing voice/category channels as well as make it drop channel overwrite objects, you can save a lot of RAM

here's a rough amount of memory in KB used post-patching, it was significantly more before

[craggy anvil]

Hey if i have 2 files in one is class that sends embed asking for deal amount in $ and then when user gives number it sends new embed with buttons (that class is in another file) and it asks if correct or incorrect, now i wanna code if it's incorrect to reset proccess and come back to first embed that asked for amount and to listen again for number

[south spire]

i think overwrites were like 4-5x more, and you can't even see voice channels now

[south spire]

if your only goal is to save RAM and you don't particularly care about maintenance burden/newer discord.py features, i can't recommend it high enough

[craggy anvil]

okay here is code

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/XHLQ, 1st file is the class that asks for amount in usd, 2nd file is class that has correct and incorrect button

i want it to coem back to first class if button incorrect is clicked

[hollow ice]

Which one website link??

[opal vortex]

oh?

[opal vortex]

that discord invite is to the host I use itself

just ignore it in the image

[opal vortex]

sadly I do not install discord.py without voice (I probably should though).

[wet hill]

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/64398279/how-do-i-get-the-most-recent-message-in-discord-js

[opal vortex]

since both of my bots don’t have voice support

[wet hill]

refer it

[south spire]

well yeah you could fork it and make the changes and install from the fork though

[quick gust]

You're recommending a djs guide in a python server?

[blissful badge]

Having a bit of trouble with using buttons, think maybe some of the language changed around these but having trouble making sense of the documentation. Trying to send a message with buttons but I keep getting this error

    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

This is the code I am using for the specific extension

Any assistance would be MAJORLY appreciated

[fast osprey]

Which library are you using?

[blissful badge]

python 3.12.3 if thats the one you are looking for

[fast osprey]

Which discord library? Like what you're installing through pip

[blissful badge]

Sorry, 2.4.0

[fast osprey]

2.4.0 of what library?

[blissful badge]

Just regular discord.py

Sorry, I'm bad at reading into questions

[fast osprey]

on_button_click isn't a thing in discord.py

and isn't in its docs

[blissful badge]

Oh, well that explains why I was having trouble

Alternate library you would recommend?

[fast osprey]

I would personally recommend doing discord.py's way of doing buttons, which is with View classes

it does support it, just not in this way (which imo is much hackier)

[blissful badge]

Ok got it, the view classes was what I was finding and struggling with. That just requires defining the view before the command and whatnot yeah?

[fast osprey]

Well you could define it anywhere you could define a normal python class

then just instantiate it and send it in your command

[blissful badge]

Got it, ok I will work on going that direction. Thank you VERY much Solstice!

[fast osprey]

any time. The examples in the repo are quite extensive

[blissful badge]

[blissful badge]

Just confirming, if I was using this in an extension could I define the view ahead of the cog being defined or would that throw things off given they are both classes?

Or would I be better off defining it after the cog/extension has been defined

[blissful badge]

Think I have the button part figured out, just using some of the example code in the repo to see if its working but.....the message simply isn't sending....feel like I am missing something obvious

        view = Buttons()
        await channel.send(f"Welcome to the server! {member.mention}", view=view)

class Buttons(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self, *, timeout=180):

[foggy laurel]

Question for opinions

Would you all rather:

• Enter 4 channelnames into a slash command and get 4 channels created outside any categories
  OR
• Enter one category name and get the category with default channelnames

NOTE: all channels belong to the same feature
of course either way setup with the configured permissions

[blissful badge]

Personally, have the channels created with default names rather than having to enter all 4 but the entering all 4 would be convenient to do it in all one command I suppose

[fast osprey]

What is try_channel?

[blissful badge]

thats the obvious thing I was missing

it should be get channel

[fast osprey]

That should error though

[blissful badge]

Yeah not throwing any errors, still not throwing any errors with the get channel correction

Super weird

[fast osprey]

Are you logging anything at all?

[blissful badge]

Not a thing

[fast osprey]

You probably aren't enabling logging. How are you starting the bot?

[blissful badge]

py __main__.py

[fast osprey]

In code, how do you make the bot object and then start/run it?

[blissful badge]

def main() -> None:
    DISCORD_TOKEN = os.getenv("DISCORD_TOKEN")
    if not DISCORD_TOKEN:
        raise InvalidTokenException("A Discord token was not set.")

    with open("config.toml", "rb") as config_file:
        config = Config(tomllib.load(config_file))

    bot = Bot(config)
    bot.run(DISCORD_TOKEN)

Hope that is what you mean

[fast osprey]

Yeah. Hm. That should cause logging

do you get nothing at all in your terminal?

[blissful badge]

Nope, everything else in the bot is working perfectly fine so no overall issues but yeah it doesn't throw any error codes

Interesting....I added a print line to say when the cog is ready but its not sending that

So I don't think its reading the extension at all

[fast osprey]

I'd recommend putting in some logging

[blissful badge]

import tomllib
import os
from dotenv import load_dotenv
from bot import Bot
from utils import Config
import logging

logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO)

class InvalidTokenException(Exception):
    pass

def main() -> None:
    DISCORD_TOKEN = os.getenv("DISCORD_TOKEN")
    if not DISCORD_TOKEN:
        raise InvalidTokenException("A Discord token was not set.")

    with open("config.toml", "rb") as config_file:
        config = Config(tomllib.load(config_file))

    bot = Bot(config)
    bot.run(DISCORD_TOKEN)

async def on_ready(self):
    print(f'{self.qualified_name} loaded')
    logging.info(f'Logged in as {self.bot.user.name} ({self.bot.user.id})')

if __name__ == "__main__":
    load_dotenv()
    main()```

would this do the trick?

I know I need some additional stuff on the commands themself of course

Oh interesting, I moved the button class before it defines the cog itself and its finally sending the print message I put in at the end of the extension.....that being said the listener event itself still isn't working

At least I know its reading the extension

[fast osprey]

What is Bot?

[vapid parcel]

How to separate Category in the on_guild_channel_update from Channels and Categories?

Because they seem to be together which is stupid

[foggy laurel]

first testings 😄

[fast osprey]

Categories are channels. If you care about a subset of channels, that's up to you to do that filtering based on the channel type

[craggy anvil]

How do i disable one button, only for the guy who clicked on it?

[warm kettle]

help lets say i have a command adv but it needs to be adv (item) but the user just types adv, it just gives me an error how can i change it so that if no (item) is given i send a message that you need and item, how would i do that?

[scarlet tiger]

is it a prefix command?

[jaunty cape]

if not args send message and return

i'm not even going to attempt to write the code for you, it's just basic python

[fast osprey]

This isn't how the library works. You don't get into the function at all if the user doesn't submit required arguments. The recommended approach is to make an error handler, either local to the command or global

[jaunty cape]

? You give the parameter an Optional type hint and give it a default value of None

Wdym by “that’s not how it works”

[quick gust]

Why would u make it optional if ur end goal is to make it required? you see how incorrect that logically is? it's better to make an error handler and handle the error raised when arguments are missing.

[jaunty cape]

Because try except blocks take up too many indents

[fast osprey]

Error handlers don't have try excepts

[quick gust]

There doesn't need to be a try except block

An error handler typically uses if statements

[fast osprey]

Also the optionality of a parameter changes how it's displayed in help text. Making it optional to avoid needing to make an error handler would also mislead the user looking at the command's usage

[quick gust]

right

[jaunty cape]

just have smarter users

[smoky sinew]

add member intent

[drowsy thunder]

Can I add multiple databases in a single .db file?

[merry cliff]

I mean you can have multiple tables

if that's what you mean

[jaunty cape]

I mean you can have multiple tables

If that’s what you mean

I would show you if I had access to my DB browser rn

[drowsy thunder]

Can someone help me with this error

[drowsy thunder]

Ye

[merry cliff]

!paste code pls

[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.

[drowsy thunder]

Wait

@merry cliff https://paste.pythondiscord.com/YT4Q

Ping me when ur done

[fast osprey]

what are the python packages in this environment and their versions?

[merry cliff]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html?highlight=webhook#discord.TextChannel.create_webhook you don't need to supply a session to create a webhook

also Bot.session isn't a thing

[drowsy thunder]

So what can I do

[merry cliff]

just don't include the session arg when creating a webhook

[drowsy thunder]

Dpy 3.9.5

[jaunty cape]

What the heck

[fast osprey]

That's not a thing that exists

[jaunty cape]

You mean Python 3.9.5?

We’re only on discord.py 2.4.0

[drowsy thunder]

I think python 3.9.5 ye

[merry cliff]

actually you need to supply session when using asyncio session when creating webhjook frmo url

but not when you are using TextChannel.create_webhook

[drowsy thunder]

Dpy 2.3.2

[fast osprey]

It would also generally be helpful to have a traceback for any errors. Just the exception text isn't particularly useful

[drowsy thunder]

So there I wrote session=bot.session so I will remove that?

[merry cliff]

yep

[jaunty cape]

Irrelevant but I have the Linux kernel 6.11 btw

[drowsy thunder]

Who uses Linux fr

Me casually coding in a Android lmao

[jaunty cape]

Bruh just do that on your computer 😭

[merry cliff]

I can only imagine the suffering

[drowsy thunder]

Yeah i suffer alot alot

[jaunty cape]

I already struggle enough with regular typing on a mobile phone

[drowsy thunder]

Nahh im fast typing in mobile

[jaunty cape]

I can’t imagine having to type brackets

[drowsy thunder]

An error occurred: session or client must be given @merry cliff

[fast osprey]

You can pass the bot into client=

[drowsy thunder]

Ohk wait lemme try

[drowsy thunder]

So how will I do that?
client= what

[fast osprey]

the bot

[drowsy thunder]

What will I put after that

So client=bot

?

[fast osprey]

try it and see

[drowsy thunder]

@fast osprey also I have a file called botpfp.jpg so how can I read that and put it as webhook avatar?

[jaunty cape]

You can’t, you need a URL

(Maybe I’m thinking of Embeds)

[drowsy thunder]

I did before but I forgot

[fast osprey]

!d discord.Webhook.send

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Webhook.send

await send(content=..., *, username=..., avatar_url=..., tts=False, ephemeral=False, file=..., files=..., embed=..., embeds=..., allowed_mentions=..., view=..., thread=..., ...)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Sends a message using the webhook.

The content must be a type that can convert to a string through `str(content)`.

To upload a single file, the `file` parameter should be used with a single [`File`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.File) object.

If the `embed` parameter is provided, it must be of type [`Embed`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Embed) and it must be a rich embed type. You cannot mix the `embed` parameter with the `embeds` parameter, which must be a [`list`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#list) of [`Embed`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Embed) objects to send.

Changed in version 2\.0: This function will now raise [`ValueError`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/exceptions.html#ValueError) instead of `InvalidArgument`.

[drowsy thunder]

image=read(botpfp.jpg)?

[jaunty cape]

Nah I’m wrong

[drowsy thunder]

Webhook create not send

[drowsy thunder]

I did client=bot and same error is coming still

[fast osprey]

Code and error?

[fast osprey]

!d discord.TextChannel.create_webhook

[unkempt canyon]

discord.TextChannel.create\_webhook

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

Creates a webhook for this channel.

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

Changed in version 1\.1: Added the `reason` keyword\-only parameter.

[drowsy thunder]

Wait

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/ZU7Q @fast osprey

[fast osprey]

channel.create_webhook doesn't take a client

the docs above show this

[drowsy thunder]

So what do I do

[fast osprey]

Don't pass it in

[drowsy thunder]

If I don't it says it requires it

[fast osprey]

client= is a parameter to Webhook.from_url. You're calling entirely different methods here

[merry cliff]

webhook = await channel.create_webhook(name="BitBot Logging",client=bot) this is incorrect

you do not need it

just create it with the name

[fast osprey]

Webhook.from_url is a static class method, it needs to be told the client (bot) that's attached to it (or an aiohttp session).
channel.create_webhook is an instance method on an instance of a channel, which is already attached to your client (bot)

[merry cliff]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html?highlight=webhook from_url#discord.Webhook.from_url yeah client should be given here

[drowsy thunder]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/X6KQ
@merry cliff this is updated code still not working

[fast osprey]

See sentence 1

[drowsy thunder]

I did that tho

[fast osprey]

You did not

[jaunty cape]

Why do you keep explaining your code in your comments smh

Just say what the code does in a docstring

[fast osprey]

webhook = discord.Webhook.from_url(old_webhook_url)

[drowsy thunder]

Oh that ok wait

[fast osprey]

Also "not working" isn't particularly helpful, and once again, you need to get yourself tracebacks if you are going to debug properly

otherwise you are just going to have to look over your entire code base trying to find where the problem is rather than your code telling you

[jaunty cape]

And that is the reason why someone needs to build the rust compiler, but for Python

[fast osprey]

Looking over, this is just a matter of them doing a blanket try, except Exception and then throwing away the traceback

[drowsy thunder]

Also how to set the avatar as botpfp.jpg

Like how to read that

[jaunty cape]

Use io.BytesIO()

You need a bytes object

[exotic hazel]

Is there a legitimate reason to do this here? I've been told to never do that

[fast osprey]

In this case, no. Blanket catches really should only exist in the highest level safety net error handling, which discord.py already has

[blissful badge]

Oh look it's mudkip.

Yeah tried that, no such luck.

[fast osprey]

Code?

[drowsy thunder]

Is dpy alligned with the new feature of bot emojis? If yes do you have docs for that?

[fast osprey]

What about them?

[drowsy thunder]

Well there is a new tab emojis in dev portal so I was wondering how we can get those emojis

[fast osprey]

"Get" as in send them in a message?

[drowsy thunder]

Yes

[fast osprey]

You should be able to send them like you do any emoji afaik, library independent

<:emoji_name:id>

[drowsy thunder]

Ohk also I get the id from?

[fast osprey]

On that tab in the dev portal

[drowsy thunder]

Ye

could anyone help?

[drowsy thunder]

Wait lemme see

Idk yk this doesn't show much detail

[lethal juniper]

wdym it doesn't

what else should be there?

[drowsy thunder]

Ask @fast osprey

[lethal juniper]

@fast osprey please

[fast osprey]

You can't use the @ui.select decorator for dynamic options

Well, at least you can't pass a dynamic list into the decorator itself. You could either make a Select subclass, or use the decorator and modify its options in the view's init

Either way, that list of options should be passed into the view, not accessed from a class attribute like you have

[crude remnant]

How do I make a bot start, I am new to using python

[drowsy thunder]

Check dpy docs

[golden portal]

heh

do you mean like that? i dont get it

[fast osprey]

You can't reference dynamic attributes in the decorator

[lethal juniper]

but i dont get how to fix this

i mean available_items is always gonna change

[fast osprey]

One of these two methods

[lethal juniper]

i did modify its options in the view's init

or you meant something else

[fast osprey]

You didn't

You set a property on the view named options

In the init, self.options is setting an attribute on the view itself. self.item_select is the Select itself

How is INTENTS being used?

Think I am a bit confused by that question

I am still learning so apologies for anything that is obvious that I am not getting

The code you sent just makes a variable named INTENTS

[fast osprey]

And it's your on_member_join that isn't working? I'd suggest putting some logging in there

[blissful badge]

The on member join itself is working but the interaction is failing with all of the buttons

[fast osprey]

What is the exact set of steps you are doing for that to happen, and what do you see?

[blissful badge]

Are you referring to the actual interaction within Discord itself?

If so.

• Member Joins
• Message is sent in the proper channel upon them joining that tags the user and includes the 3 buttons
• Click any of the buttons
• Attached picture shows what I see

No errors in the terminal.

[fast osprey]

Those buttons are different than the view class you just sent

[blissful badge]

I changed the labels of them but the code is the same

I can send the code in its current form for the view

[fast osprey]

Send the code you are using currently please yes

Does that message pop up immediately after clicking the button, or after about 3 seconds?

[blissful badge]

Let me double check that, one moment

[fast osprey]

Also, could you paste everything you're getting in your terminal when you run the bot and do this?

[blissful badge]

This is weird, I don't think this error is related to the buttons not working

Just an issue with the thumbnail, which is still working

but that being said, it says interaction failed I'd say more immediately than within 3 seconds

No errors being thrown in the terminal when buttons fail

will ad logging and see what it says

[fast osprey]

First thing to check is if you have an interaction url in the discord dev panel

[blissful badge]

Oh, good call, will do

[blissful badge]

Yes it does have an interactions endpoint url if thats what you are referring to

[amber moth]

Why did this happen out of sudden

[fast osprey]

If you aren't making an http interaction bot, you should remove that

[fast osprey]

You're hosting your bot in a place you shouldn't be

[amber moth]

How

It works normally but it just happened rn

[fast osprey]

Because you are hosting your bot in a place you shouldn't be

[amber moth]

no im using pylexnodes it can host bots

[fast osprey]

Clearly it cannot

[amber moth]

I made many bots in that website

but this error happened rn out of sudden

[fast osprey]

Because something happened to work in the past does not mean it was the right decision, or that it will continue working

"Free" hosts are universally scams. It is not a sustainable business model

[amber moth]

It's saying I got rate limited

did you see the 2nd picture

[fast osprey]

I did

[amber moth]

I think it's because i made the sync commands thing inside on_ready

I forgot to remove it

[fast osprey]

That would not result in that error, but you also should not be putting basically anything in on_ready

[amber moth]

Okay

[blissful badge]

Got it

Doing this broke the other member join stuff so will sort through that and try removing that link and see what it does

[fast osprey]

Setting that URL means that discord will post interactions to the URL you specify, rather than being sent as a gateway event (which is how discord.py and other libraries function)

[blissful badge]

welp, all my invites to my alt are now failing so gunna have to figure that out first lmao

miserable, i appreciate all your help though

[fast osprey]

Not really sure what you mean by "invites to my alt"

But if you can't really mix and match http interactions with gateway interactions (discord.py etc)

They get sent to one or the other

[blissful badge]

I use an alt to join the server to test the functionality but I keep getting hit with the "invalid invite" no matter what options I choose because I have been doing it so much

[blissful badge]

Super weird, this seemed to have introduced a new error that wasn't happening before. This is just for the basic member join notification to our welcome channel. Seems to be from the thumbnail.

Unrelated but, still annoying

@fast osprey removing that HTTP looks like it fixed it, its giving me some permissions error which I thought I had accounted for (easy fix) but no more interaction failed!!!

the above error is still an issue, but one I think I can fix

[fast osprey]

[lethal juniper]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/

how do I make those button persistent?

wanted to add bot.add_view(ItemSelectMenu) and bot.add_view(ItemButtonMenu) to the on.ready event, but realized I need to pass available_itemsto ItemSelectMenu, and available_items is a list which values are defined in ItemButtonMenu. Is there any simple way to fix this? Or do i need to define available_items outside of ItemButtonMenu?

[fast osprey]

You shouldn't be using on_ready for things you want to happen reliably or once

[lethal juniper]

I want to make buttons work even after reloading bot

[fast osprey]

on_ready is not the place for that

or pretty much anything 99% of people use it for

[lethal juniper]

so where should I add add_view then?

[fast osprey]

That said, if your bot originally relied on sending multiple view instances each with their own state, then you can't get away with just persisting a single view instance when the bot wakes up

[fast osprey]

Wherever you want it to trigger. But presumably that's not "randomly and repeatedly whenever the bot does a routine reconnection"

[fast osprey]

Your options here are:

1. Remove the need for state, and have a singular view instance with no parameters handle all interactions on all messages matching that view
2. Remember the state for each instance of the view (message) you're sending, then call add_view that many times passing in the message id so you can recreate that state
3. Shift entirely away from persisting views to use dynamic items

[jaunty cape]

It’s because that’s probably a shared IP address

[amber moth]

Yeah I was thinking of that

[mild token]

how i can know via bot when someone boost the server?

[fast osprey]

There is not a definitive way, all you can do is guess

[mild token]

how about role check?

if someone role gets updated?

[fast osprey]

That wouldn't tell you if someone who already had the role boosted again

[mild token]

i dont think booster role is manually assignable

[fast osprey]

People can boost multiple times

[mild token]

only discord assigns it

[mild token]

i can skip if they already have the role

[fast osprey]

That methodology would not tell you if someone boosted a second time. They already have the role

Same with premium_since

[mild token]

role dont get away? if someone remove the boosts?

[fast osprey]

Huh

That's not the case I'm describing

Someone boosted earlier. They have the role and premium_since. They boost again. Your code doesn't see anything

The closest thing you can do is listen for the system message, but that also has false negatives

[mild token]

https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/issues/2397 will this solve the issue?

[fast osprey]

Discord simply does not communicate this directly to bots

All you can do is guess

[dry kelp]

How can we check in disnake library if a user is already timed out?

[wanton current]

!d discord.Member.timed_out_until

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.timed\_out\_until

An aware datetime object that specifies the date and time in UTC that the member’s time out will expire. This will be set to None if the user is not timed out.

New in version 2.0.

        if interaction.message.embeds and len(interaction.message.embeds) > 0:
            embed = interaction.message.embeds[0]
            if len(embed.fields) >= 2:
                embed.set_field_at(0, name=f"Sending {self.currency}", value="`None`", inline=True)
                embed.set_field_at(1, name=f"Receiving {self.currency}", value="`None`", inline=True)
            else:
                print("Not enough fields in the embed to reset.")

            self.children[0].disabled = False
            self.children[1].disabled = False

            await interaction.message.edit(embed=embed)
        else:
            print("No embed found to reset.")

And that's for a reset button in specific embed, but there's like one more embed for confirmation after this(it's in another file, in class), that has incorrect and correct button, i want to pass reset_embed function to that incorrect button to do, so it resets the original embed and it deletes the interaction.message with that incorrect button, i hope soemone understood 😭

who can help for a discord bot in dms

i can give the code, i just can't make the discord bot

so i kinda need help or someone make it for me

[brazen crane]

i'm not too proud about my ability on discord bots but i can try to help u

dont dm please

either put the code here or in a #1035199133436354600 thread

o wait

im gotta be afk somethingirl

[cunning frost]

ok thanks

[mild token]

if u want to pass the reset function u can import and pass it ig 👀

[glad marsh]

Are you supposed to have several database files? Or should I have one with several tables?

[quick gust]

You probably don't need multiple databases

[primal pilot]

How can interaction.response.send_message raise discord.errors.InteractionResponded: This interaction has already been responded to before, when interaction.is_expired returns False?

I've been debugging this for hours 😅

[torn solar]

send code

[quick gust]

are u deferring it?

[torn solar]

if your deferring it you need to do interaction.followup.send

[primal pilot]

I'm not deferring it. Even deferring it raises the same issue

[torn solar]

send the code then please

[primal pilot]

Give me a moment and I'll send a code snippet. It's for the Code Jam, so I'll make a small example from it rather than sharing the exact code

[primal pilot]

class QuestionView:
    def __init__(self) -> None:
        super().__init__()
        self.next_interaction: Interaction | None = None

    @discord.ui.button(
        label="Incorrect answer",
        style=discord.ButtonStyle.danger,
    )
    async def incorrect_answer(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, _: discord.ui.Button) -> None:
        self.next_interaction = interaction
        self.stop()

And this is the class that is using QuestionView: ```py
class Level(Protocol):
async def return_to_view(self, interaction):
...
await interaction.response.send_message(file=img, embed=embed, view=view)

async def run():
    next_interaction = interaction
    for question in self.questions:
        question_view = question.view()  # A QuestionView instance
        await next_interaction.response.edit_message(
            embed=question.embed(),
            view=question_view,
            attachments=[],
        )
        await question_view.wait()
        next_interaction = question_view.next_interaction
    await self.return_to_view(interaction)

There's more code in reality, but it should be unrelated. Basically what's happening is that when the discord UI button is pressed, the interaction is stored in QuestionView.next_interaction and the QuestionView is stopped. The Level class waits for QuestionView to be stopped and then gets the question_view.next_interaction in order to let the next question continue from that interaction

When all questions are looped through, self.return_to_view(interaction) uses the last interaction to return to a different view. However, this interaction fails for some reason. And I don't think it's been responded to, especially since interaction.is_expired is false if called right before the interaction.response.send_message

Seems like interaction.edit_original_response instead of interaction.response.send_message works, but Discord says Interaction failed in response to the button press? Wtf

[fast osprey]

You generally should not be storing interactions imo. They are very stateful and short lived, ideally they should be handled in the direct handler and then discarded

[primal pilot]

For a TextInput in a modal, is there a way to make the user's input have python code highlighting?

I'm able to change the style to paragraph, so it's accepting long input strings, but can't find a good way to get syntax highlighting to work

[fast osprey]

Not supported afaik

[primal pilot]

Do you know if there's a way to have a description in a modal, or any text field that the user can't edit? Can't find anything like that either

[manic sage]

Does anybody here knows some good hosting for python bot that is on server with 8k members? I need it to have servers in EU, so it has low latency

[fast osprey]

You can have titles on each field, as well as placeholders (the grayed out text inside of them)

[fast osprey]

You should profile your bot's resource usage so you can make an informed decision

[manic sage]

I litterally need any hosting that is good and will run 100% 24/7

[craggy anvil]

but if reset function is inside the class?

[fast osprey]

And you can't answer that without knowing what your bot needs

[hushed galleon]

FYI is_expired() only checks if it's 15min past the interaction's creation time, interaction.response.is_done() is what actually determines if you already responded to an interaction

[primal pilot]

Ah good to know, thanks

[lethal juniper]

how to make different amount of decorators every time function is called?

[fast osprey]

What's the functional thing you're trying to accomplish?

[lethal juniper]

I've got list: available_items: [['1', '2', '3', ..... '25'], ['26', '27', ..... '50], ...] and every time it's got different amount of items (between 1 and 4). I've also got a button, pressing which calls 4 SelectMenus. Every SelectMenu has its own options depending on items in available_items. The thing is, if available_items got less than 4 lists, it'll raise an error list index is out of range (because available_items[4] doesn't exist anymore).

I suck at explaining lemme provide code

https://pastebin.com/xMxjsa4u

[fast osprey]

Not sure what the decorators have to do with what you're asking

This feels just like logic you need to implement when you're setting those options

[lethal juniper]

cause if available_items contains only 3 lists, the 4th SelectMenu shouldnt be called

or can i somehow disable it

?

[fast osprey]

You can disable the select yes

[lethal juniper]

@client.command()
async def item(ctx):
    view = ItemButtonMenu()
    await ctx.send("Choose an option:", view=view)

class ItemButtonMenu(ui.View):
    def __init__ (self, *, timeout=None):
        self.available_items = []
        self.available_items_for_user = []
        super().__init__(timeout=timeout)
    
    @ui.button(label = 'Take item', custom_id = 'take_item', style = discord.ButtonStyle.green)
    async def take_item(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, button: ui.Button):
        with open('items.csv', 'r') as csvfile:
            csvreader = csv.reader(csvfile)
            next(csvreader)
            self.available_items = [row[0] for row in csvreader if row[1] == '']
        view = ItemSelectMenu(self.available_items)
        await interaction.response.send_message(view=view, ephemeral=True)

class ItemSelectMenu(ui.View):
    def __init__(self, available_items, timeout=None):
        super().__init__(timeout=timeout)
        def chunks(lst, n):
            for i in range (0, len(lst), n):
                yield lst[i:i+n]
        self.children[0].disabled = True
        self.children[1].disabled = True
        self.children[2].disabled = True
        self.children[3].disabled = True
        for i in range(len(list(chunks(available_items, 25)))):
            self.children[i].max_values = len(list(chunks(available_items, 25))[i])
            self.children[i].options = [discord.SelectOption(label=item) for item in list(chunks(available_items, 25))[i]]
            self.children[i].disabled = False

Why does it happen

[fast osprey]

You are sending over a select with no options

[lethal juniper]

can options be empty?

[fast osprey]

Nope

[lethal juniper]

oh ye i've got how to do this

ty

[craggy anvil]

    @discord.ui.button(label="View Transaction", style=discord.ButtonStyle.link)
    async def view_transaction(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, button):
        button.url = f'https://etherscan.io/tx/{self.tx_hash}'

Is this right code for redirect button for embed discordbot

[finite salmon]

url buttons dont have a callback

[craggy anvil]

found out

ty anyways

[finite salmon]

alr

[glad marsh]

On member update, check the before and after roles. If they have the boost role after and didn't before they have boosted

[sick birch]

i believe on message gives you the "member boosted the server" message, if you have that enabled

[mild token]

actually its not 😅

[sick birch]

well that is unfortunate

[wispy falcon]

help im new to cogs and somehow its not working

[fast osprey]

What about it isn't working?

[wispy falcon]

i mean

When I type Bot Test in a channel, the bot doesn't send "Bot is working"

[fast osprey]

Have you done any debugging to see what is happening?

If you're getting into that method at all?

[fast osprey]

add_cog is async, you need to await it

(as of discord.py 2.0+ and forks spun off of it)

[jaunty cape]

You need a setup function

[fast osprey]

setup is only required in extensions
