Replacing not adding

[spring ferry]

Can you copy my code add replace pls

[timber dragon]

Nuh uh

[spring ferry]

.

[timber dragon]

Gotta learn doing it yourself

[spring ferry]

Which thing need to remove ?

[timber dragon]

Read your code and check

[spring ferry]

Help

@slate swan Help me

[slate swan]

Help with?

[spring ferry]

It's showing still error

When I did this

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/VWVA

This is my code can you check out and tell me what wrong?

@slate swan

[slate swan]

What error

[spring ferry]

It's basically not replying when I type !MIB to activate my bot

[zenith yarrow]

?tag embed

[novel apex]

This is not a Modmail thread.

[slate swan]

Didnt i already tell you that timezone is submodule of datetime

So you need to import it

!d datetime.timezone

[unkempt canyon]

datetime.timezone

class datetime.timezone(offset, name=None)```
The *offset* argument must be specified as a [`timedelta`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html#datetime.timedelta) object representing the difference between the local time and UTC. It must be strictly between `-timedelta(hours=24)` and `timedelta(hours=24)`, otherwise [`ValueError`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/exceptions.html#ValueError) is raised.

The *name* argument is optional. If specified it must be a string that will be used as the value returned by the [`datetime.tzname()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html#datetime.datetime.tzname) method.

Added in version 3\.2\.

Changed in version 3\.7: The UTC offset is not restricted to a whole number of minutes.

[spring ferry]

Ok

Right ?

Helo?

@slate swan

[slate swan]

Do you even know what you are doing

[spring ferry]

Importing

[slate swan]

You copied Class declaration mindlessly

Its obviously a wrong syntax

[spring ferry]

So what right?

I'm beginner

[slate swan]

If you are a beginner start from beginner things and not a discord bot project which requires advanced python concepts

[spring ferry]

Ok but it's only 1 error my project will be finished

Can you copy and fix my code pls ?

[slate swan]

No that's not how helping works

[spring ferry]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/VWVA

[spring ferry]

I didn't understand where this thing need to paste or replace

[slate swan]

You dont copy paste random code to your project

[spring ferry]

Ok

[slate swan]

I just wanted to show you that datetime module Has a submodule called timezone which apparently you want to use

[spring ferry]

Help me only 1 time

[slate swan]

So to your current datetime import add that timezone submodule and change the code from datetime.timezone. to timezone.

[spring ferry]

Ok

[slate swan]

is there on discord any option to switch between discord accounts like on instagram? Do I have to log out and log in every time?

[slate swan]

when you click on your profile there literally is option Switch accounts

I don't see it on my phone

i dont know if its out on mobile yet

you can do that on pc for sure

[spring ferry]

It's working not showing error but why the bot is not replying

[slate swan]

read the warning it gave you

!mcintent

[unkempt canyon]

Discord Message Content Intent

The Discord gateway only dispatches events you subscribe to, which you can configure by using "intents."

The message content intent is what determines if an app will receive the actual content of newly created messages. Without this intent, discord.py won't be able to detect prefix commands, so prefix commands won't respond.

Privileged intents, such as message content, have to be explicitly enabled from the Discord Developer Portal in addition to being enabled in the code:

intents = discord.Intents.default() # create a default Intents instance
intents.message_content = True # enable message content intents

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="!", intents=intents) # actually pass it into the constructor

For more information on intents, see /tag intents. If prefix commands are still not working, see /tag on-message-event.

[spring ferry]

Ohk

[fast osprey]

Looking over your code, I really strongly recommend you reconsider building this "antinuke" stuff. The entire purpose is predicated on your users being too stupid to handle their server themselves, and if you're already assuming that there's no reason to assume they're somehow not stupid enough to break any of the things your bot relies on.

Also, outright banning anyone who gets the admin permission is pretty laughable

[spring ferry]

So suggest me

How can I make

This good best

@fast osprey

Does u make bot like this ?

[fast osprey]

Educate your users on good security practices and make recommendations to them rather than trying to override the decisions they themselves have made

No, because bots like this (at least that subset of functionality) are at best unnecessary and at worst an active security risk

I have, however, in my time seen things like this crash and burn miserably

[spring ferry]

But I want to make a antinuke bot for my friend server

Antiraid

Antispam but my bot is not replying not enable 😅😭

Now I lost my hope

I'm not making now bot

[fast osprey]

You should not make features that attempt to excuse people from managing their own servers and understanding how permissions work. You can absolutely make a bot that aids in this rather than trying to replace it

But if you make a bot under the entire pretext of "You don't have to understand security or permissions, my bot takes care of it", they will continue not understanding things and there will always be a way they can screw things up

For spam, you should really look into the automod tooling that's available

[jade jolt]

i fixed it by doing nothing

[slate swan]

you know message that only you can see? like to the bottom it’ll say dismiss how do I do that in slash cmd

[fast osprey]

You can pass ephemeral=True when responding

[snow coral]

Yeah. Its not deleting it when there’s a bad word in the linked image

[stark ingot]

Is the API returning the correct words?

[snow coral]

It does with message attachments so im guessing it should work on text links but I’ll test that

[stark ingot]

What part is specifically not working?
It does not delete the message when there is a bad word in the image
It does not delete the message when there is a bad word in the url?

[snow coral]

Oh I know what happened

Sorry

[stark ingot]

We are here to help no need to be sorry :)

[snow coral]

I guess I didn’t fix it, the api is returning the right words

So its something with either finding it or deleting it

It looks like this right now ```py

urls = func.extract_url(message.content)
if urls:
if len(urls) == 1:
text = func.image_to_text(url[0])
if any(bad_word in text.lower() for bad_word in badwords):
await message.channel.send(f"[AUTO] {message.author.mention}, your message has been deleted for containing a blocked keyword.")
await message.delete()
else:
for i in range(len(urls) - 1):
text = func.image_to_text(url[i])
if any(bad_word in text.lower() for bad_word in badwords):
await message.channel.send(f"[AUTO] {message.author.mention}, your message has been deleted for containing a blocked keyword.")
await message.delete()```

[stark ingot]

do you have the message content intent?

[snow coral]

Yeah

[stark ingot]

I am a bit confused. When you send a URL that leads to an image with bad words it correctly identifies the bad words (You can check by printing text) However the message is not deleted?

[snow coral]

Mhm. It finds the text fine from testing

[stark ingot]

does it go into the if statement? Are there any errors in your console?

[fast osprey]

In general, doing some debugging to see what is actually running would go a long way

[snow coral]

I got it to work

Thanks

[stark ingot]

@sacred grotto I saw your help post but it was locked.
Your issue is that you are enabling all of the intents. Discord has a few "special" intents that require additional approval when your bot gets big enough (its for data privacy reasons) So you need to go to the discord developer portal -> your app -> Bot -> Turn the settings in the screenshot ON

[fast osprey]

It is incredibly unlikely that all intents are needed, whatever this app is doing

[stark ingot]

^ The best solution would be to only use intents that you need but what I said is the direct solution to the error

[slate swan]

how to make it so users who use my bot cannot ping everyone?

[stark ingot]

You can look into allowed_mentions argument of send/respond

Or you can take away the permission to mention everyone on the bot if it is only on your private server or something

[sacred grotto]

Thank you!!!

[slender vault]

@last sorrel hey nick you still into python bot dev?

[slim bloom]

Bruh use automod discord

[slate swan]

how can a slash/hybrid command have spaces?

[fast osprey]

Those are command groups

[slate swan]

is there a example somewhere

[fast osprey]

I think umbra's gist has em if you've read that

[mild token]

class Board(commands.GroupCog,name="board"):

rest is same as commands.Cog

[scarlet tiger]

Note: It is only available in discord.py

[mild token]

Oh

[fast osprey]

You also don't have to use cogs. You can just subclass app_commands.Group too

[signal summit]

Im making a discord bot that returns accuracy from a given PGN (list of moves) in the chat. I have the bot writing this data given in the chat to a temporary file that the accuracy script reads from. When I download raw pgn data from the chess website it works just fine but when I use the data from the discord bot (looks the exact same) it raises an error. Could discords formatting be causing this issue?

[fast osprey]

What's the error?

[mild token]

I do this the only issue I get is sub commands get all the integration setting from its parent command if I want to set perms of sub command individually discord don't get give me option in integration settings

[merry cliff]

I'm getting something really weird but after I stop my bot the program does not terminate and it sens this after a bit ```

You just need to use the commands.Cog.listener() decorator

Hi does anyone know why i get this error

discord.errors.PrivilegedIntentsRequired: Shard ID None is requesting privileged intents that have not been explicitly enabled in the developer portal. It is recommended to go to https://discord.com/developers/applications/ and explicitly enable the privileged intents within your application's page. If this is not possible, then consider disabling the privileged intents instead.

All of my intents are enabled on the discord bot page settings, i just want to make a bot where i can DM the bot and say ping, and the bot replies with pong in dm;s

import discord
from discord.ext import commands

intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.messages = True
intents.message_content = True  # This is required to read message content
intents.guilds = True
intents.dm_messages = True  # Ensure to enable this intent for DMs

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

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

@bot.event
async def on_message(message):
    if message.author == bot.user:
        return

    print(f"Received a message from {message.author}: {message.content}")

    if isinstance(message.channel, discord.DMChannel):
        if message.content.lower() == 'ping':
            await message.channel.send('pong')

bot.run('')```

Forgot to show code

[vapid parcel]

Okay so I am working on making my bot support multiple languages using like English.json and French.json, like how many other bots do it I would think.

But my question still comes down to, @app_commands.describe(member="Please give a member.")

Is there a way to translate that? or am I just stuck with the default language (English)? Same with descriptions on command?

        Warn a member.

        **Usage:** warn <member> [reason]

        **Examples:**
        - `warn @member Breaking rules`
        - `warn @member Spam pinging`
        - `warn @member Sending inappropriate messages`
        """```

These type of descriptions ^^

They are hard coded so that is why I was wondering, I could also do something with the jsons maybe, but just wanted to see how others maybe handle the describe and descriptions of commands with multiple languages?

[fast osprey]

You don't need any privileged intent for that, so you shouldn't be requesting any in the first place

[lyric juniper]

Oh im an idiot

Thanks 😭

[fast osprey]

nwnw. Default() even has intents 99% of devs don't actually want

[glad marsh]

i added ptero gitsync to my hosting server, but it sends this error

        database/bot.db
Please commit your changes or stash them before you merge.```

i added database/bot.db to the .gitignore file as i dont want it to be modified from my local version, is there somehow else i can do this or can i resolve this?

[fast osprey]

Did you commit the gitignore?

And are you sure that what you added to it works?

[hushed galleon]

also, did you previously commit bot.db before updating your gitignore? if so, i believe the gitignore can't retroactively remove files that are already being tracked, you would need to manually untrack them by using git rm --cached <path> and then committing

btw for git-related issues, you may get more help asking in #tools-and-devops instead

[vapid parcel]

Anyone have anything on this? I don't know where else I can ask. The dpy server is based on the package so I thought here would be the best

[hushed galleon]

for application commands, dpy's CommandTree can be given a custom Translator class to localize your command names, descriptions, parameters, and choices on sync
https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.CommandTree.set_translator
https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.Translator

as for other forms of content like messages, embeds, and views, you can manually invoke the translator via bot.tree.translator.translate() and Interaction.translate()

if you want an example bot, here's one i wrote using gettext as my backend (it also has a guide to help with learning gettext)
https://github.com/thegamecracks/discord.py-i18n-demo

Project Fluent is also another localization standard if you want to use that instead of .json files
https://projectfluent.org/
https://github.com/projectfluent/fluent/wiki/Fluent-vs-gettext
https://fluent-compiler.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

[fast osprey]

json is pretty awful as a storage format in terms of space and efficiency. It's designed to be a language agnostic interchange format

[vapid parcel]

I have always seen other bots do it that way, and its just a data language, so I figured it would be perfect for this, because its just data basically.

[fast osprey]

It's not, and people doing a thing does not remotely imply it is the best or even a good thing to do

[vapid parcel]

okay ty, I will read this all because I am wanting to see how to do this the best way. Thank you again for providing this, I didn't know the translator was for the description and parameters.

[vapid parcel]

Wdym json is not a data language?

or are you saying the translations aren't data?

[fast osprey]

"data language" doesn't make sense

As I said, json is for transferring data between systems

it is not optimized for one system internally storing and accessing it

[vapid parcel]

What I mean by data language is, its returning data. I had no other way of describing it lol

So we are on the same terms I guess

[fast osprey]

Not really, no, as there is an important distinction for how the data is used

[vapid parcel]

But I will check out what thegamecracks gave me, which should improve what I have hopefully.

The only examples I have seen were people using .json so thats why I used .json, so thats my bad

[fast osprey]

all good, it's more nuance. This won't make or break an application, but a lot of people fall into the trap of following examples without really knowing how or why they are a good idea (or in this case, a bad idea)

[vapid parcel]

That is fair, I just thought maybe opening my bot to more languages would help others out ya know, but never thought of the best way of doing it. So I looked at examples and they all showed the same way and it kinda was weird.

But thats also why I asked here, not the same topic, but close enough and it led me to the correct spot.

But glad I asked here lol

[fast osprey]

Yeah there are data formats (like resource files) that are better suited for storing this particular type of data within an application. Worth looking into

[mild token]

    @app_commands.command(
        name="promote", description="promote the user"
    )
    @app_commands.choices(
        position=[

                                value=str(RoleIds.ENTRY_STAFF)),
            app_commands.Choice(name="Server Recruiter",
                                value=str(RoleIds.SERVER_RECRUITER)),
            app_commands.Choice(name="Server Manager",
                                value=str(RoleIds.SERVER_MANAGER)),
            app_commands.Choice(name="Server Moderator",

                                value=str(RoleIds.GATEKEEPER)),
        ],
    )

    async def check_modal(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, user: discord.Member, position: str) -> None:

i want to get position choice name data

just printing position gives the value of it

[fast osprey]

You shouldn't be using the display name to drive logic

The value is what you should be using. Whatever you need, put it in the value

[untold remnant]

Hi. I would like to ask if I can create an event in which I capture information from another source? For example, I have a web panel and at a given button send, for example, a message?

[shrewd apex]

not an event specifically but u would have to run a web server side by side to get reqests from the webpanel

and have ur bot process it and respond to it

[untold remnant]

In what sense side by side

[shrewd apex]

u basically mean when someone performs some action on the webpanel the bot is notified right?

[untold remnant]

When someone performs an action in the panel then the bot triggers the corresponding event

[shrewd apex]

yeah then u need a web server running along with your bot accepting web requests from your web panel

side by side in the sense u can spawn it in another task

basically u need to listen to http requests

[untold remnant]

And such basic listening? I host the bot on the same server as the panel

Or else... Could I have some sort of tutorial on this, or basic functions? I also have the panel set up in python on Flask

[fast osprey]

Personally I recommend you do not colocate your gateway bot and a http webserver. These things do very different jobs, and you'll probably find that they actually don't need to communicate much if at all given the web server can make api requests to discord itself without going through a gateway bot

[untold remnant]

I'm looking for options to make it work in general.

[fast osprey]

What's an example of something you'd want to do?

[untold remnant]

I have a form made in the panel and I want the bot to be connected to it and send to the appropriate channel the information in it just after clicking the submit button

The site and form made with python, so it's easy to plug in with confidence

[fast osprey]

You don't need a bot at all to send a message

the web server could just post to a webhook

[untold remnant]

And how else can the bot be integrated? More than once it will have to give roles

Such an intention

[fast osprey]

You can give roles without going through a bot

bots exist to listen for events from discord. If you are pushing things to discord, the bot doesn't have to be involved at all

If you really want your web server to talk to a gateway bot, these should be in separate processes and communicate over IPC for the things they need to do. But people often vastly overestimate what they need the bot for

[untold remnant]

Then what is the best way to do it? Do you have a basic script or tutorial?

[fast osprey]

Do what specifically?

Send a message to a webhook?

[untold remnant]

What webhook?

[untold remnant]

Well, how to plug such an action? For example for a test when I click a button it sends a message to a specific channel

[fast osprey]

https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/228383668-Intro-to-Webhooks

libraries like discord.py have utility python wrappers that make this easier, but notably they do not require a gateway bot running

[untold remnant]

I've a webhook

[tribal bison]

I’m trying to make a discord bot that gets rid of gen-z slang but I no longer have any chatgbt tokens. I do not want to spend any money on this project so any suggestions on creating an ai model?

[fast osprey]

You should first very carefully read the relevant discord developer policy if you have not already

[tribal bison]

I now have but I don’t see how this applies

I’m using it to just showcase ai

The AI will hopefully not learn anything either as well

[fast osprey]

Namely a) if you are sending any user data to a third party, you need explicit instruction from that user to do so and to record that and b) message content can't be used to train models, regardless of who is doing it

[tribal bison]

In that case would you know how to simply find where a word is with in a message and replace it with another word?

Since making an Ai seems to be extremely painful

Any help is extremely appreciated 😃

[fast osprey]

As in someone says a word, and you want to reply with another word? Or are you trying to moderate?

[tribal bison]

Reply with another word

I’ll state what I’m trying to do.

Turns sentences with Gen-Z slang and rewrite it without the slang

“Ong that was hype” to “On god that was cool”

[fast osprey]

You could attempt to do this with regex, but anecdotally people will misspell or otherwise alter common words

[tribal bison]

I do have the ability to detect the words right now but do not know where they are in a sentence hmm thinking about that should I bring this into a thread

[fast osprey]

Regex with capture groups would do that

[tribal bison]

I’m going to make a thread for this so I don’t flood the chat with this

I am asking because of the MSYS2 part, I don't know if code space would allow that, and I have no clue if mac can support it because I only see an EXE version.

Because we all work together, but if only I can access the source, that makes production bad and makes this a bad way of doing this for our bot.

[hushed galleon]

if it can install gettext sure, MSYS2 is just a way to get it on windows

[vapid parcel]

Okay, so I would just have to research other ways to get gettext on mac and code space?

[hushed galleon]

im currently experimenting with rewriting my bot to use project fluent, its been fairly tedious changing out the strings

[vapid parcel]

I just do not want to do this and make it a compatibility issue for other developers on the team, for my vps it would be fine, but other developers it might come into an issue.

It seems fairly easy to setup and do. I actually like how you have done the docs on it and showed it. But I never thought about the compatibility tbf.

[hushed galleon]

finished my project fluent migration if you want to see how that looks
https://github.com/thegamecracks/theticketbot/compare/df65ba2...1907288

project fluent doesn't require external compilation so its simpler in that regard

though afaik it doesn't come with any official tools, nothing like xgettext and msgmerge

as for gettext, some of the GUI editors i linked are also cross-platform so you should be able to use poedit on windows and mac for editing and compiling MO files

Hello, How do I run every single main.py in a subfolder?

I'm trying to run all of those main.py in sub folder in 1 go without having to run them 1 by 1

[finite salmon]

You can import all the files to a single file and run that file

[ancient portal]

how do i do that?

im fairly new in this, so i dont know much

[finite salmon]

create another file and name it whatever you want and in it put

from foldername1 import main
from foldername2 import main
# and so on

But it's an unusual way of executing code though

What are you trying to do

[ancient portal]

Im making a discord auto message, i copy my friend code which are hardcoded into doing 1 message per

Idk how to make it so that i can send a message in multiple channel in 1 file

[finite salmon]

You'd probably have to use a loop

[finite salmon]

Damn

You're using the raw api

Any reason why you're not using any wrapper

[ancient portal]

im very new in this, i copied my friend code

i dont know much haha

[fast osprey]

And for sending messages to a channel, a webhook would probably be more appropriate anywho

[finite salmon]

Tell your friend it will be much easier for both of you to use any api wrapper

Like discord.py, pycord, nextcord etc

I personally use pycord

[fast osprey]

I'd recommend making a webhook per channel you want to send, then you can just loop over a list of webhooks and post to them

[ancient portal]

Is there any tutorial i can look into, i have 0 clues how to do all that

Or maybe a template where i can learn from

[fast osprey]

https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/228383668-Intro-to-Webhooks

The link at the bottom is the raw api if you want to call it yourself, but I do suggest you use a library

[mild token]

maximum number of choice with auto complete?

[wanton current]

25

[mild token]

cool

[stoic tusk]

anyone using on.render and uptimerobot to host their discord bots?

[dense valve]

whats the best 24/7 free discord bot hosting

[scarlet tiger]

Free trials are available for Oracle or Digital Ocean. Free services are not recommended due to performance, security and stability issues

[dense valve]

but they require identity or cc

i want totally fre

[scarlet tiger]

In that case, consider using your own computer haha

[dense valve]

nah really bro pls i really want

[scarlet tiger]

Any service will ask you for a registration account for security reasons

[vapid parcel]

Okay thank you!

[hearty basalt]

you wont find that

thats like renting a house or apartment to someone for free

[dense valve]

bruh

L

[ancient portal]

how do i run this file?

[finite salmon]

Just like how you run any other file?

[slate swan]

are there bot commands alr made here?

#bot-commands

or is there any server that has commands

made for free use

[cyan eagle]

Solar hosting
Bot host.net or discord bot host I forgot the name

Where can I learn discord py with image examples?

[fast osprey]

The number of times I've had people complain about this host is hilarious, also give their privacy policy a read sometime

There isn't a free lunch. People aren't going to spend their own money running your stuff

[cyan eagle]

You got a point but some ppl are dumb too

[fast osprey]

I don't think they're dumb, they're malicious

If you can't identify the product being sold, you are the product being sold

[cyan eagle]

Do you know any site for learning discord.py with image examples?

[fast osprey]

What images are you hoping to see? The library is just text

[dense valve]

thanks

[cyan eagle]

Like bdfd

Wait let me show you

[wanton current]

the docs have image examples

[cyan eagle]

Where do I find docs?

[wanton current]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io

[cyan eagle]

Specially for discord bots

[cyan eagle]

Oh thxx

[vapid parcel]

Is discord having API issues?

[wanton current]

https://discordstatus.com/

[vapid parcel]

This is sometimes out of date ^

[wanton current]

Yeah, it's updated when they notice it

[vapid parcel]

Yeah well

They need to notice it now lmao

Cuz their api is failing rn

[wanton current]

in what way

[vapid parcel]

Getting tons of timed out warnings in console

and my bots ping to discord is 200+

when its around 50

Discord is going to start having API issues starting soon, I am calling it. Happens a lot :(

[wanton current]

i don't notice anything wrong

[vapid parcel]

Then maybe its my vps.. but it just started now. So I am doubting its my vps. But time will tell ig

2024-08-05 17:35:16 WARNING discord.state Shard ID 0 timed out waiting for chunks for guild_id 110373943822540800.

[radiant heath]

does anyone know anything about interactions with buttons in discord.py and can help ?

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/L5UA

Here's my code, my issue is that i'm not sure how to send a response to a button press interaction, i commented in the 3 places its relelvant

[fast osprey]

You're following a tutorial for another library, not discord.py

Also, in general I strongly recommend you don't nest class definitions inside of methods

[radiant heath]

huh?

import discord, random, json
from discord.ext import commands
from discord import app_commands
from discord.ui import Button, View, text_input

im not following a tutorial

but im using discord.py

[fast osprey]

Yes, but where are you starting from

You didn't divine the concept of a View from your mind

[radiant heath]

oh lmao

no i didnt

like a tutorial i watched ages ago

[fast osprey]

The only thing that's endorsed is the official docs and the examples in the repo

That tutorial was built on another library or likewise very misinformed

[marble rampart]

anyone can help me at #1270087125185986723 ive been waiting for quite some time

[mortal ravine]

Can anybody help me code my bot for free since im a broke boi

[mortal ravine]

pls dm me if you can help

What is the "pip error"?

[errant trench]

All pip are loaded but

[cobalt crane]

are you using a virtual environment?

[scarlet tiger]

Don't use extra libraries, nextcord already has built-in application commands.

[errant trench]

yeah

[cobalt crane]

what Nightmare said though, try not to mix libs

[scarlet tiger]

https://github.com/nextcord/nextcord/blob/master/examples/application_commands/slash_command.py

[errant trench]

I installed nextcord later, I didn't have it, but it still gave me an error, I don't know how to do it.

[errant trench]

thx

I'm new to this, what should I import or how did I code it exactly and what is my prefix? ! want it to stay what is

[scarlet tiger]

the bot prefix?

[errant trench]

I want to use both the discord application directory and my own ! with prefix

[scarlet tiger]

check the nextcord repository and look at the examples, I don't use this library so I don't know what changes it has in detail

[errant trench]

Thanks again

[vocal plover]

for this you just create the commands twice, once as prefix commands how you're used to, and once as app commands (which function fairly similarly, consult the docs but the API is similar for it)
we don't - and won't - support hybrid commands (prefix and slash with one decorator/function) because it means we have to substantially water down the API to just the commonalities between both systems, and it adds an extra layer of unnecessary complexity and abstraction we feel harms the lib more than it helps, if those are what you were looking for

[stoic tusk]

is this a good way to be able to turn on/off any commands at any time i wish to?

speaking as a newbie

[wanton current]

I would probably use Command.update() instead, and set enabled=False, and then catch that in an error handler. Then you don't need to add that check in every command that you have.

[stoic tusk]

may I have an example? the site is trash and i dont understand anything from it

[wanton current]

command = bot.get_command(name)
command.update(enabled=False)

then if a disabled command is being invoked, commands.DisabledCommand error will be raised

[stoic tusk]

im sorry im this dumb, but could I also see a full example? like how it would get introduced in the following code:

@bot.command()
async def help(ctx):
        await ctx.reply(f"{bot.user.name} is currently in development mode!", delete_after=6)

[wanton current]

Do you edit this file manually?

[stoic tusk]

um yes

idk any better, im not that good at managing/organizing stuff

[wanton current]

no just asking

You could read the file when starting the bot, and then loop through the commands and disable the ones you want

[stoic tusk]

i saw a friend of mine having a place where he can do something similiar to what I did so i got interested in doing it as well

[wanton current]

nice

[stoic tusk]

oh I see

I intiatially just wanted to have it like this at the start of the file:

help_CmdEnabled = True

@bot.command
async def help(ctx):
  if help_Cmdenabled == True:
  await ctx.reply(f'{but.user.name} is currently still in development mode!')

[wanton current]

that works, but if you have a lot of commands, it can get messy pretty quick

[stoic tusk]

Not only that but also the main.py file gets heavier

or actually, before I start any command, I can use that there, instead of the start of the file

like this maybe

[tribal bison]

@tired star your code worked great! however some words seem to not work?

like fr doesnt work but af does

ive tried putting .lower() but it doesnt work

Nvm found the issue

[mild token]

is there any event which is called when timeout is uplifted?

[ancient portal]

Hello how do i fix error code 429 : Too many request from [channelID]

I'm making a Discord auto message with a timer that sends message once every hour. The said channel has a cooldown of 1 hour.

[sick birch]

on_member_update i think

compare the before.timed_out_until with after

[mild token]

Ok

Another question I would like to ask when someone is banned on_member_remove event is called?

[sick birch]

should be

[mild token]

Oki

[mild token]

It's not getting called on when timeout expired only called when timeout is applied

[ancient ridge]

xd

[drowsy thunder]

How to organise my code and bot slash commands into different files?

[fast osprey]

You can just declare things in other files and import them like normal python, bots are no different. You can also make use of the extension framework if you're using dpy

[tired star]

👍

[drowsy thunder]

Example code?

[fast osprey]

For?

[drowsy thunder]

For organizing code

[fast osprey]

I gave you two options

[mild token]

await user.timeout(timedelta(seconds=duration), reason=reason even if i putting duration 30 its still adding only 10 seconds

[merry cliff]

I personally think my teams code jam project looks pretty organised you can see the formatting https://github.com/Beardrop2/Zoomy-Zodiacs

[merry cliff]

Is it possible that it is getting reassigned ?

[mild token]

nope

    @app_commands.command(name="timeout", description="Timeout a user")
    @app_commands.describe(
        user="The user to timeout",
        duration="Duration in seconds",
        reason="The reason for the timeout",
    )
    @app_commands.checks.dynamic_cooldown(cooldown_for_everyone_but_special_og)
    async def timeout(
        self,
        interaction: discord.Interaction,
        user: discord.Member,
        duration: app_commands.Range[int, 2, 2073000],
        reason: str,
    ):
        await interaction.response.defer(ephemeral=True)
        if not self.is_hierarchy_higher(interaction.user, user):
            await interaction.followup.send(
                f"Cannot timeout {user.mention} because they have an equal or higher role."
            )
            return
        await user.timeout(timedelta(seconds=duration), reason=reason

[merry cliff]

Are you sure it’s 10 seconds?

Can you try again

[mild token]

yeh me and my friend is testing

i will try again

[fast osprey]

You may not want to reimplement this as there is a native timeout and you're reducing security controls

[marble rampart]

does anyone know about a template that isnt outdated for a discord dashboard i cant find any ones that work and are in python 😦

[slate swan]

@glad cradle its pretty much a textual game centered on a eastern theme called cultivation

[glad cradle]

what are you using the files for?

[slate swan]

storing user data

[glad cradle]

😭

[slate swan]

?

[glad cradle]

why you're not using a proper database?

[slate swan]

im stubborn

[glad cradle]

if you want a file like database there's Sqlite

[slate swan]

im using pure pickle()

[glad cradle]

using files as database is very bad, it's also slower

[slate swan]

what should i do then ;-;

[fast osprey]

Also you can and will randomly corrupt your file and lose everything

[slate swan]

your file? or files?

[glad cradle]

try Sqlite

[glad cradle]

the files where you were performing operations

!pypi aiosqlite

[unkempt canyon]

aiosqlite v0.20.0

asyncio bridge to the standard sqlite3 module

Released on <t:1708409573:D>.

[slate swan]

would be hard to adapt my functions to use sqlite

aiosqlite?

oh

[glad cradle]

yes, you need an async wrapper

[slate swan]

alright

[glad cradle]

common file operations blocks the main event loop

[slate swan]

normal functions dont right

[glad cradle]

depends on what you are doing inside them

!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!

[slate swan]

wait so like

if i use normal functions inside a async function its blocking

??? confus

[stone quest]

yes

unless you make it asynchronous with its modules

[slate swan]

shiiit

[stone quest]

yes use this

[slate swan]

so i have to make pretty much all of my functions into async ones?

im so cooked

[stone quest]

i mean personally with small databases sqlite3 can barely be recognised for blocking the event loop

but its still a consideration, personally ive just used sqlite3 and there have been 0 problems its just as it gets bigger and bigger you will need to consider refactoring

[slate swan]

no i have some special library i made for numbers

its a massive class

[stone quest]

how do you mean?

[slate swan]

?

[stone quest]

numbers?

[slate swan]

yeah

[stone quest]

sorry i joined half way through the conversation

[slate swan]

storing numbrs with pretty much no worry of running out of space to represent the next one

[glad cradle]

no, as i said it depends on what you are doing inside them

[slate swan]

i didnt mention this earlier

[stone quest]

ah

[slate swan]

math.

lots of it

[glad cradle]

what's really important is that you do not do web requests, heavy cpu bound work, and other things in non async contexts

[stone quest]

check the computational time it takes for the computer to process your function then decide if you need to implement it to be async

[stone quest]

aka requests -> aiohttp

[glad cradle]

yeah but you could also wrap requests methods with some asyncio methods, so not necessarily

[stone quest]

but doesnt the request method require to be async (internally) 0? thats the point of the aiohttp package

[slate swan]

last time i checked those dunder functions can be like
1 to 0.1 ms

[glad cradle]

asyncio provides some methods to safely run blocking functions as async, without blocking the event loop

[stone quest]

then its not a concern

[slate swan]

alright

[stone quest]

"lots of math" we reference is like 5-10 seconds long of billions of numbers

[slate swan]

oh

[stone quest]

but less than a ms doesnt really impede your event loop

[slate swan]

my library will flop trying to do more than 10k numbers

[stone quest]

may need to refine it, can i ask what you are handling numbers for?

[glad cradle]

what is really an issue are operations that makes you wait a lot of time, for example when you do a web request you must wait the server response, that response could take seconds and if not done in an async context you lose that seconds waiting for the response, same thing when you work with files locally but you instead wait for the kernel and other signals

[slate swan]

wdym

[stone quest]

just the numbers in general, what are they representing

[slate swan]

i dont think ill do web request stuff

[slate swan]

big numbers..?

the class is literially called BigNumber

[stone quest]

whats the numbers for haha?

[slate swan]

to represent absurdly massive numbers?

[stone quest]

so you have a class to just make big numbers end of ??

so confused, the numbers have no meaning nothing, just a big number?

[slate swan]

it can represent 10^^4 with alot of extra wiggle room

[slate swan]

no?

[stone quest]

fair enough

[slate swan]

they mean something

thats what they represent

a mantissa and exponent

i dont even know if ill be able to rewrite it in C xd

my win machine is absurdly cursed

anyway i guess ill go back to the main python channel

[glad cradle]

just wanted to give you a general idea, it's not important the total execution time of a function, it's important if you are waiting a lot of time without doing anything, CPU bound operations give you no gain if you make them async, they're slow in python and what's slow are the operations itself, you could make them in another thread (just an example)

so if you wait a lot of time for something without doing anything you should make that thing async

Btw i have solved the issue by passing the same instance to the form

And disabling on submit

I have a query suppose i have all the commands copied to the guild only

If someone dms the bot ,will it log the messages on on_message.

[mild token]

So hierarchy don't matter hmm 🤔

[crude remnant]

Idk, when its executed it says application didn't respond or sum like that

[stark ingot]

That is most likely because you are taking to long to respond. You get 3 seconds. To extend this time to 15 minutes you can defer right at the beginning of your callback

[crude remnant]

I'll fix that, thanks

[unkempt canyon]

Noooooo!!

No documentation found for the requested symbol.

[stark ingot]

That is not in discord.py you will have to go to the pycord docs (to the person who ran the command above)

[left delta]

I’m trying to set a description that shows when the [number] is clicked

[stark ingot]

how do you make your options (can you show your code)

[left delta]

but I keep getting an error that tells me bridgeOption will be removed on 2.7 update

[left delta]

1 sec

[stark ingot]

Yes bridgeOption is deprecated. I think you can just use normal options now let me check.
Edit: You need to use BridgeOption using Option is deprecated

[left delta]

I have deleted the code from my project due to the same error which you said, will try to find it and send a ss

[modest harbor]

Can someone explain how does d.py extensions differentiate from cogs?

[mild token]

so the problem is this my server have onboarding feature enabled and for creating mute feature i need to disable send_message from everyone role so is there any hack which can fix it?

by hack i mean the way

plz dont misunderstand it

[stark ingot]

You can replace bridge options with the bridge_option decorator

or just use discord.Option but that might change in 2.7 again
Edit: I mixed it up

[slate swan]

hey can anyone help me with this embed inline im trying to make the add_field for 2 each sections like the 2 below which im trying to do for all like 2 for each sections - my code

    embed = discord.Embed(title="Stats", color=discord.Colour.dark_theme())
    embed.add_field(name="Data", value=f"`{Data}`", inline=True)
    embed.add_field(name="Total", value=f"`{Total}`", inline=False)
    embed.add_field(name="Jale", value=f"`{Jale}`", inline=True)
    embed.add_field(name="Lum", value=f"`{Lum}`", inline=False)
    embed.add_field(name="Aa", value=f"`{Aa}`", inline=True)
    embed.add_field(name="Number", value=f"`{Number}`", inline=True)

[left delta]

may you check your dms please

[stark ingot]

Try switching the 2nd field to True
3rd to false
4th to true
5th to false

When inline is false it buts that field on a newline

[stark ingot]

Extensions are extra utilities that are in discord.py
Think of it like default libraries for python
You can do import math in python to get extra features and you can do from discord.ext import commands to get extra features in discord.py

Cogs are a way to group your commands (and other code) and allow you to split your bot into multiple files much easier. Cogs have a few extra utility features such as being able to apply changed code in the cog without restarting the whole bot.

[modest harbor]

I see, thank you for your explanation, and one more thing about the recent update on discord.py for user-installable apps, the docs is quite unclear on how it works, do you have any information related to it?

[stark ingot]

You can make a role and than in every channel create an override for that role that disallows sending messages. Or you can also use the built in discord timeout feature which also would disallow other things and has an automatic timeout

Sorry no. I do not know how discord.py implemented user apps. I only use py-cord. (I just know some of the basics of d.py as py-cord is a fork of it)

[stark ingot]

^

[modest harbor]

I see, thank you for your help though!

[mild token]

timeout is broken rn

[stark ingot]

How so?

[mild token]

see inspite of being timeout the user can send message

[slate swan]

is it gonna be fine to make a function that will send an embed that isnt defined as an async one but is still called in a async function

[mild token]

     @app_commands.command(name="timeout", description="Timeout a user")
     @app_commands.describe(
         user="The user to timeout",
         duration="Duration in seconds",
         reason="The reason for the timeout",
     )
     @app_commands.checks.dynamic_cooldown(cooldown_for_everyone_but_special_og)
     async def timeout(
         self,
         interaction: discord.Interaction,
         user: discord.Member,
         duration: app_commands.Range[int, 2, 2073000],
        reason: str,
     ):
         await interaction.response.defer(ephemeral=True)
         if not self.is_hierarchy_higher(interaction.user, user):
            await interaction.followup.send(
                f"Cannot timeout {user.mention} because they have an equal or higher role."
             )
            return
         await user.timeout(timedelta(seconds=duration), reason=reason
                           )
         embed = self.build_embed(
            "timeout", user, interaction.user, reason, duration)
        await interaction.followup.send(
             f"{user.mention} has been timed out for {duration} seconds. Reason: {reason}"
         )
        await interaction.guild.get_channel(ChannelsIds.TIMEOUT).send(embed=embed)

this is my command code

if u test on different device u will get different timeout

[stark ingot]

It looks right to me ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[mild token]

u can return embed from function and then send it

[mild token]

yeh its a bug from discord side

[slate swan]

ah okay

[stark ingot]

Why can it not be async?

[slate swan]

idk

idk how async functions work

like does the function wait for it to be done

i kinda need it to block the rest of the function

[stark ingot]

Generally it is best to keep everything in an async function async but I am not the most knowledgeable on it either

[slate swan]

alright

[mild token]

i usually do if i have to do api calls which can block the bot execution i put them in async if its just a simple embed building then i just use sync

[slate swan]

Hi im still not getting what i wanted here is the pic when i put ur code in

embed = discord.Embed(title="Stats", color=discord.Colour.dark_theme())
    embed.add_field(name="Data", value=f"`{Data}`", inline=True)
    embed.add_field(name="Total", value=f"`{Total}`", inline=True)
    embed.add_field(name="Jale", value=f"`{Jale}`", inline=False)
    embed.add_field(name="Lum", value=f"`{Lum}`", inline=True)
    embed.add_field(name="Aa", value=f"`{Aa}`", inline=False)
    embed.add_field(name="Number", value=f"`{Number}`", inline=True)```

[stark ingot]

Hmmm, inline is always so strange. I have to go but you could just flip a few values here and there and see what happens

[slate swan]

Ok

[slate swan]

little confused about all of this subclass stuff

do you really need a python subclass?

[timber dragon]

You'll need to add an empty third field for that

[slate swan]

for buttons*

[timber dragon]

Since it's max three on one line and it depends on the display size

[timber dragon]

# field 1
# field 2
# empty field 3 (namw="", value="")

# field 1
# field 2
...

inline defaults to True btw

[golden portal]

yes, subclassing inherits functionalities of the class so if you wanna override its method you would do that.

[slate swan]

oh

[slate swan]

Oh alright thanks!

[scarlet tiger]

It is important to know OOP before making a Discord bot, consider practicing with some exercises and understanding how classes and subclasses, etc. work.

[slate swan]

im fine with normal classes

subclasses on the other hand

also i already made the discord bot

im just fleshing it out

[scarlet tiger]

Ok, but it is not necessary to create a subclass for a button, if the button has a simple function you can create it directly

[slate swan]

i wish to make buttons with a simple function :>

[scarlet tiger]

What library do you use?

[slate swan]

discord.py ?

[scarlet tiger]

I'm not sure if buttons in discord.py are the same as py-cord 😅

[slate swan]

lol

[glad cradle]

what's your question about buttons?

[slate swan]

should be possible to forgo the subclass right?

[scarlet tiger]

In py-cord it can be done this way, in discord.py in the documentation I see that it should be the same, you can try:

import discord
from discord.ui import Button, View

async def button_callback(interaction: discord.Interaction):
    await interaction.response.send_message("You pressed the button!", ephemeral=True)

# Create the button
button = Button(label="Click me", style=discord.ButtonStyle.primary)
button.callback = button_callback

# Create a view and add the button to it
view = View()
view.add_item(button)

# Example of how to use the button in a command
@bot.command()
async def show_button(ctx):
    await ctx.send("Here's a button for you:", view=view) 

[glad cradle]

you can do this in d.py too

[scarlet tiger]

Note: It is not highly recommended to create buttons or other components in this way, but if your button is simple you can do it

[scarlet tiger]

Oh ok

[slate swan]

i do alot of HOF

[slate swan]

huh

thats the code stripped down?

can i wrap it into a class

[glad cradle]

yeah, by subclassing

[slate swan]

confus

[glad cradle]

if you don't subclass you don't have much reason to put it into a class

you can just do that when you need the component, directly inside the command callback

[slate swan]

i just need the command callbacks to perhaps return a value

import discord
from discord.ui import Button, View


async def button_callback(interaction: discord.Interaction, text= str, passedFunction = None, input1, input2):
    await interaction.response.send_message(text, ephemeral=True)
    if passedFunction != None: return(passedFunction(input1, input2))

# Create the button
button = Button(label="Click me", style=discord.ButtonStyle.primary)
button.callback = button_callback(button, "click me", specialFunction, placeholder1, placeholder2)

# Create a view and add the button to it
view = View()
view.add_item(button)

# Example of how to use the button in a command
@bot.command()
async def show_button(ctx):
    await ctx.send("Here's a button for you:", view=view) ```

@glad cradle ?

can i do this bizzare stuff

[glad cradle]

you can't change the callback in that way

if you want to hold state you need to put that into the view or into the button

why don't you read a guide about OOP? it's really powerful if you learn it

[slate swan]

im stubborn

i am already locked into a state of knowing OOP

its just that this OOP is foreign to me :>

[golden portal]

wdym? you just asked about inheritance the other hour

[slate swan]

shhh

[golden portal]

also, see https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/examples/views/confirm.py

[slate swan]

i dont remember anything earlier fr

[glad cradle]

python is based on that, you will need it for other things too

[slate swan]

i have like 5 classes already ;-;

[golden portal]

nothing wrong with classes

[scarlet tiger]

It is better if you make a subclass, it allows you to add more functions and is also more organized

[slate swan]

wait this is so simple wth

# Define a simple View that gives us a confirmation menu
class Confirm(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        self.value = None

    # When the confirm button is pressed, set the inner value to `True` and
    # stop the View from listening to more input.
    # We also send the user an ephemeral message that we're confirming their choice.
    @discord.ui.button(label='Confirm', style=discord.ButtonStyle.green)
    async def confirm(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, button: discord.ui.Button):
        await interaction.response.send_message('Confirming', ephemeral=True)
        self.value = True
        self.stop()

    # This one is similar to the confirmation button except sets the inner value to `False`
    @discord.ui.button(label='Cancel', style=discord.ButtonStyle.grey)
    async def cancel(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, button: discord.ui.Button):
        await interaction.response.send_message('Cancelling', ephemeral=True)
        self.value = False
        self.stop()```

super() is cogs thingy right

[golden portal]

no that's a python OOP concept

in fact you can see super in other languages as well

any OOP learning enjoyers in chat

[slate swan]

then what is it

a builtin?

or wut

[golden portal]

in simple term, super() refers to your parent's, in this case, calling the constructor

[slate swan]

so it refers to discord.ui.View ?

[golden portal]

remove super().__init__() and your child won't inherit the parent's stuff

yes

[slate swan]

so

a
subclass() is the child of its class()

and reversed
class() is the parent of its subclass()

[golden portal]

yes

[slate swan]

super() returns the subclass() parent which is its class()

alright thank u

oh wait

confus brain lool

[slate swan]

now im confused

a view can contain multiple buttons yea?

[scarlet tiger]

Yes

[slate swan]

idk if what this code does but does it add a button?

    @discord.ui.button(label='Confirm', style=discord.ButtonStyle.grey)
    async def doButton(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, button: discord.ui.Button):
        await interaction.response.send_message('Confirming', ephemeral=True)
        result = self.func(attr1, attr2, attr3):
        if self.returnVal:
            self.returned = result
        self.stop()

[scarlet tiger]

Not only buttons, it can also be combined, menus and buttons for example

[slate swan]

i cant even tell lol

actually i guess it does

[celest oar]

anyone know how to get it into the center, im not the one coding this but the guy who is, is offline so im just fixing this, heres some of the code to do with the position

base_image = base_image.resize((2479, 1080))
    overlay_image = overlay_image.resize((500, 500))

    if overlay_image.mode != 'RGBA':
        overlay_image = overlay_image.convert('RGBA')

    position = (100, 100)

    new_image = Image.new('RGBA', base_image.size)
    new_image.paste(base_image, (0, 0))
    new_image.paste(overlay_image, position, overlay_image)

(i have never used python before)

[scarlet tiger]

There are 2 ways to create components, using decorators inside a class that inherits from View or creating a subclass and adding it to the view

[slate swan]

what does a component mean, or components

[scarlet tiger]

Buttons or menus

[slate swan]

oh im dumb

[slate swan]

big confus fr

[celest oar]

https://tenor.com/view/kurt-angle-stare-100-yard-stare-meme-gif-251436459491629941

[slate swan]

also

@discord.ui.button(label='Confirm', style=discord.ButtonStyle.grey)
    async def doButton(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, button: discord.ui.Button):```
this part is the one responsible for making the "component" yeah?

[fast osprey]

That decorates a method to make it into a component (button)

[scarlet tiger]

Yes, it's confusing sometimes.

[slate swan]

so if i do the class like

view_or_component = discordButton(##args)

cause im pretty sure it returns a view

[fast osprey]

What is discordButton?

[slate swan]

class discordButton(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self, func, attr1= None, attr2= None, attr3 = None, returnVal: bool = False, ):
        super().__init__()
        self.func = func
        self.attr1 = attr1
        self.attr2 = attr2
        self.attr3 = attr3
        self.returnVal = returnVal
        self.returned = None
    
    @discord.ui.button(label='Confirm', style=discord.ButtonStyle.grey)
    async def doButton(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, button: discord.ui.Button):
        await interaction.response.send_message('Confirming', ephemeral=True)
        result = self.func(attr1, attr2, attr3):
        if self.returnVal:
            self.returned = result
        self.stop()

ignore the comments ( i copied that code )

[slate swan]

so this will make a view with a single component which is.. a single button yea?

[fast osprey]

Well, despite the class being named "button" that would indeed give you an object that subclasses view

Correct

[celest oar]

this server is great help

[slate swan]

i think your in the wrong channel tho

[fast osprey]

You asked a question that isn't on topic for this channel

[slate swan]

#python-discussion

[celest oar]

its for a discord bot

[slate swan]

so what should i do if i want to add more buttons later on

[slate swan]

yea but i think that stuff doesnt have anything to do with discord bots

[fast osprey]

This isn't a channel for all possible things one could wrap with a bot

[celest oar]

what channel then

[slate swan]

idk go ask for help in #python-discussion first

[celest oar]

ok

[fast osprey]

Just more methods with that decorator

As long as the method is named uniquely in the class

[slate swan]

i call the method? or do i add more methods?

cause i wish for the 1st option to be done

[fast osprey]

More buttons = more method declarations

[slate swan]

hm

[fast osprey]

Each method is one button, and the body of the method is what happens when that specific button gets pushed

[slate swan]

dangit

im out of luck then?

[fast osprey]

Huh? What are you trying to accomplish?

When you say "add buttons later on", do you mean you the developer adding features or the view dynamically changing during runtime?

[slate swan]

ok so like

imagine this

view = makeview(## args for the first button)
view = view.addbutton(## args for the second button)
view = view.addbutton(## args for the third button)
## done until u got what u needed

[fast osprey]

Hm. What are the cases where the buttons on the view would change?

Or are there the same X buttons every time?

[slate swan]

for context i wanna use buttons for like

zones

[fast osprey]

Or is this like "I make the view and I have an int N and I want to make N buttons at that time"

[slate swan]

uhh

nop

well it depends actually

[fast osprey]

For that, instead of using the decorators like above, you can instead make a subclass of discord.ui.Button

[slate swan]

subclasses galore 💀

[celest oar]

ok i guess i gotta ask chatgpt to help me

[fast osprey]

Similarly to how to subclass a View, you can also subclass a Button or other components like Select menus.

Adding the item to the view

To add a subclassed item to your view, simply call View.add_item on your view, passing an instance of your subclassed item.

Button Example

class CounterButton(discord.ui.Button):
  def __init__(self, label='0', **kwargs):
    super().__init__(label=label, **kwargs)
    self.counter = 0

  async def callback(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):
    self.counter += 1
    self.label = self.counter
    await interaction.response.edit_message(view=self.view)

view = discord.ui.View()
view.add_item(CounterButton(style=discord.ButtonStyle.primary))
view.add_item(CounterButton(style=discord.ButtonStyle.success))
view.add_item(CounterButton(style=discord.ButtonStyle.danger))

await ctx.send('Click counter button below', view=view)

(From a user tag on the dpy server)

The key thing is that in addition to the @ui.button decorator, you can also just make Button objects on your own with their own callback. This lets you dynamically make however many of whatever type you want

[slate swan]

ooh

[slate swan]

now i put whatever i want to happen in the callback function yes?

[fast osprey]

Exactly

[slate swan]

is it possible to pair this with the view subclass

[fast osprey]

Absolutely and it's recommended

[slate swan]

or do i need to

[fast osprey]

Your view subclass's init can create your buttons (using the button subclass) and add them to itself

[slate swan]

hear me out on what i want my code to do

[fast osprey]

class MyView(View):
  def __init__(self):
    super().__init__()
    self.add_item(MyButton())

[slate swan]

ok so i got an embed it shows some possible zones, this part is frontend and got nothing to do actually

then i wanna make a view, add a few buttons depending on the zones that the user can go to

if they click on one button, all the other buttons disappear

[slate swan]

sorry for the ping but i want your opinion on the above

[fast osprey]

Ah yup this seems like you'd want what I described

The button can also internally modify the view (remove other buttons) and then edit the message to reflect that change

[slate swan]

so basically
buttonsubclass() - to make buttons

viewsubclass() - yeetus deletus buttons, and manage them

[fast osprey]

So something like

class ZoneButton(ui.Button):
  def __init__(self, whatever):
    super().__init__()
    self.whatever = whatever

  async def callback(self, interaction):
    #can use self.whatever, do logic
    await interaction.response.edit_message(view=None) # gets rid of all buttons

[slate swan]

basically

[fast osprey]

If the button callback needs to mess with the view it's in, you can use self.view

[slate swan]

perhaps

wait

[slate swan]

self is the ui button?

[fast osprey]

class ZoneView(View):
  def __init__(self, zone_list):
    super().__init__()
    for zone in zone_list:
      self.add_item(ZoneButton(zone))

[slate swan]

wait..
self.view fetches the view object?

oop is op

[fast osprey]

In the context of the button subclass, yes

self is the instance of the class you're declaring

[slate swan]

how considerate of whoever made this hell hole of classes fine ballet of classes and functions

[fast osprey]

It takes a lot of mental reprogramming to think in terms of classes and objects after just doing declarative scripting, but they're incredibly powerful

[slate swan]

the most OOP ive done before this was in the form of pygame and my own number library

if u want to see the hell here https://paste.pythondiscord.com/DISA xd

[fast osprey]

Oh wow

[slate swan]

btw for this example it needs **kwargs what if i want my own keyword arguements in this

[slate swan]

wat do u think

it has barely enough for my game :>

[fast osprey]

Oh your subclass can take in whatever parameters you want, or it can just pass defaults to the parent constructor. Completely up to you. **kwargs just helps if you want the consuming code of your subclass to also be able to declare base view parameters (like timeout)

[fast osprey]

Looks really comprehensive, what's the game for?

[slate swan]

wdym game for?

i mean im not currently working on the game but

its meant to reach absurd numbers

[fast osprey]

Oh like things that would normally overflow

[slate swan]

up to like

10^10^10^10^999999999999

or something

[slate swan]

will **kwargs take in any kwargs of my own?

like what happens if i

    def __init__(self, label: str = "", **kwargs, destructAll: bool = False, ):
        super().__init__(label= label, **kwargs)
        self.destructAll = randomkwarg 

i guess i should search for what it is

oh i see

[fast osprey]

**kwargs would go at the end yeah and just be a catch all for any other flags they'd pass in

[slate swan]

yeah i thought so

[fast osprey]

The docs will tell you what the base class accepts, and it's up to you if/how you pass that into super().__init__(). You can just pass in hard coded things, or accept them in your own init

[slate swan]

class discordView(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        self.returned = None

class mkButton(discord.ui.Button):
    def __init__(self, label: str = "", func, attr1= None, attr2= None, attr3 = None, returnVal: bool = False, destructAll: bool = False, **kwargs ):
        super().__init__(label= label, **kwargs)
        self.destructAll = destructAll
        self.func = func
        self.attr1 = attr1
        self.attr2 = attr2
        self.attr3 = attr3
        self.returnVal = returnVal

    async def callback(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):
        result = self.func(self.attr1, self.attr2, self.attr3):
        if self.returnVal:
            self.view.returned = result
        if self.destructAll:
            await interaction.response.edit_message(view=None)
            self.view.stop()

oh wait

waddya' think?

[fast osprey]

Seems solid, though the view doesn't do anything or add any components

[slate swan]

it keeps self.returned tho

[fast osprey]

Right, but it doesn't have any components. Unless something outside of this is adding components to it

[slate swan]

yea

but doesnt rlly matter does it?

[fast osprey]

You could do that and it would work. I recommend you put that all in the view subclass so it internally is clear how it works

[slate swan]

adding it myself is the amount of control i want

[slate swan]

hm

what about inheritance

[fast osprey]

What would be inheriting what? You could actually make an intermediate level, people often do this to centrally declare like error handling across multiple views

[slate swan]

huh

too much for me i just gotta get this to work

[fast osprey]

Then you can put the add_item's wherever, it's just much clearer and encapsulated if you do that in the view class itself

[fast osprey]

Like this

[slate swan]

wait how do i send a view

[fast osprey]

the view= parameter of pretty much any method that sends a message

[slate swan]

i got
msg = await ctx.send(embed=Embed)
for embeds
so can i do
await ctx.send(view= view)

oh

[fast osprey]

yup

[slate swan]

good to know

[slate swan]

by the way

lets say i got a functin yea

how do i ignore certain arguements

[fast osprey]

How do you mean?

[slate swan]

explicitly coded in params part of defining a function

like

def func(arg, ignore ignore):

[fast osprey]

Why are the params there if you don't want them?

Do you have an example?

[slate swan]

this

attr1,attr2,attr3 will get shoved into func regardless if the function likes it or not

[fast osprey]

You're declaring those parameters though, do you not want the user to pass them in?

[slate swan]

i only need to use attr1 for now

some functions might use all three in the future

[fast osprey]

Then you would accept those in those functions

[slate swan]

nop

i said some functions, not all functions

[fast osprey]

Right, so accept the parameters you want in those functions

[slate swan]

any way to do them cleanly?

[fast osprey]

Or is this like futureproofing that you may want additional things on the view itself in the future?

You can just add them in when you need them

[slate swan]

bleh

ima just code it ig

[fast osprey]

If you wanted this very very flexible, you could accept a dictionary or just **kwargs

but that makes the api less straightforward about what you're asking for

[slate swan]

i finally got it to work without crying at me

wait hold on

it cried a little

it worked

i sent a img in dms

ty man

[haughty hatch]

Please which is the best library to build a social media bot for account management

[fast osprey]

What does "account management" mean?

[verbal gulch]

what's the context

[timber dragon]

Everyone asks "what" but never "how is"

[lyric pumice]

what kind of coding is that 😭

[mild token]

For scheduling what you guys use? I have a discord giveaway command but don't know how to schedule,can't use task as it will be fixed on bot start up

[stark ingot]

What do you mean?
It is python. Specifically for a event in a discord bot

[stark ingot]

You can create tasks dynamically iirc

[mild token]

How?

If its possible then it will solve my problem

[stark ingot]

you can create an instance of ext.tasks.Loop and set a callback

I believe the first argument coro is the callback function

[mild token]

I am really on this I need to try this thing out

[fast osprey]

Store thing in database -> on startup read from database -> spin up however many asyncio tasks you want that sleep until the time you want and then do the thing

[sharp night]

hi does someone know how to work with oauth ?

[wind radish]

@gray terrace

[gray terrace]

any one know how to fix Windows Subsystem for Linux has no installed distributions.

Use 'wsl.exe --list --online' to list available distributions
and 'wsl.exe --install <Distro>' to install.

Distributions can also be installed by visiting the Microsoft Store:
https://aka.ms/wslstore
Error code: Wsl/Service/CreateInstance/GetDefaultDistro/WSL_E_DEFAULT_DISTRO_NOT_FOUND

this error?

[wanton current]

wrong channel for that

[gray terrace]

where do i go?

[wind radish]

what channel would it be because its discord bot related cuz hes trying to use the mongodb db

[fast osprey]

Probably not in scope of this server as it's not python related at all

[merry cliff]

Looks like you just need to do the commands in the message

[fast osprey]

(Though #unix is a thing so that's neat)

[hushed galleon]

it might be acceptable under #tools-and-devops too, but that error has only been mentioned once before in this server apparently, you'll likely find more details searching it on the internet

[brazen wind]

How do I check a member that's pinged through a message?

Like if I send '.punch @brazen wind' it'll respond with '@brazen wind has been punched'

[untold carbon]

@bot.tree.command(name="edit", description="Edit the message content for a specified channel.")
@app_commands.describe(channel_id="The ID of the channel to edit the message content for.")
async def edit(interaction: discord.Interaction, channel_id: str):
    await interaction.response.send_message(f"Please provide the new message content for channel {channel_id}.")

    def check(m):
        return m.author == interaction.user and m.channel == interaction.channel

    try:
        message = await bot.wait_for('message', check=check, timeout=120)
        if message.content:  # Check if the message content is not None or empty
            file_path = await get_channel_file_path(channel_id)
            with open(file_path, "w") as f:
                f.write(message.content)
            await interaction.followup.send(f"Updated message content for channel {channel_id}: {message.content}")
        else:
            await interaction.followup.send("Received empty message content. Please try again.")
    except asyncio.TimeoutError:
        await interaction.followup.send("You took too long to respond. Please try again.")

can anyone tell me why whenever i say something it still keeps responding with received empty message?

[scarlet tiger]

You can use the on_message() event and check if the message contains mentions

[brazen wind]

how could I get the mentioned user afterwards

[scarlet tiger]

Do you want the message to appear after the mention? or what do you mean?

[brazen wind]

sort of like if I do !greet @user the bot will say "hello, @user!"

[scarlet tiger]

A command can do that, is simple

[brazen wind]

is it possible to do it without a slash command

[scarlet tiger]

yes

[brazen wind]

can you help me with how 😭

[scarlet tiger]

Example:

from discord.ext import commands
from discord import Member

bot = commands.Bot(...)

@bot.command(name="greet")
async def example(ctx: commands.Context, user: Member):
  await ctx.send(f"Hello! {user.mention}")

[stark ingot]

Do you have the Message content intent?

[tribal bison]

Hmm is there a way to have a bot remember context via a reply? I am using the discord.py right now

[honest laurel]

Maybe you're looking for a FSM (Finite State Machine) or something similar? I don't think discordpy has them out of the box, but maybe there are some 3rd party libraries

[tribal bison]

Uhhh I don’t really know 😅. I’d want it to be like

Bot; Spews out info”
Me: Replies with follow up question

Bot: answers with context of previous answer

[scarlet tiger]

Hmmm, you can use the on_message() event and put a condition that checks that the user responded to the bot's message

[blissful citrus]

Can someone help me with this 😭

#1270973142038347869 message

I’m so confused what I’m missing because the bot is sending the message / running just fine, it’s just not detecting any real user’s status and just its own status

[patent hull]

make sure you have installed it in the same env as the one you are running your project with

[fast osprey]

(And if you're using yt_dlp that you aren't violating dev terms of service)

[uneven fiber]

how do i check what modules i have installed?

[patent hull]

iirc pip freeze

[fast osprey]

Just pip on its own can be ambiguous if you have multiple python installations, especially on windows

<your python exe> -m pip freeze will specifically give you the packages in that environment

(Unless you're in an active venv then it's fine)

[mild token]

how long can be a button label?

[patent hull]

80 chars

[foggy laurel]

took me 10 seconds to find in the documentation
https://discord.com/developers/docs/interactions/message-components#button-object-button-structure

[mild token]

tnx

[mild token]

where should i intialize my db connection? on setup hook only?

[foggy laurel]

i create it just in the script so outside of any hooks and then add it as a "variable" to the bot

so i can just do bot.db everywhere

cause u only need to do it once, i just do it when the bot is run

[wanton current]

setup hook works

[mild token]

oki

[mild token]

yeah i am also planning to attach it to bot instance so only one connection is used across the file

[wanton current]

what db are u using?

[foggy laurel]

which db connector do you use,
dont use a single connection if possible
use a pool

i do like aiomysql

[mild token]

i am using asyncpg

and yes i am using pool

    async def connect(self):
        try:
            self.pool = await asyncpg.create_pool(dsn=self.dsn)
            log_message(log_level="INFO",
                        message="DATABASE Successfully connected")
        except Exception as e:
            log_message(log_level="WARNING",
                        message=f'Failed to connect to the database: {e}')

[fast osprey]

Hard to without knowing what's happening and what isn't working

[slate swan]

the entire command

[fast osprey]

...

what is happening, and what do you want to happen, and how do those things differ

[slate swan]

…

no error in console and to work?

[fast osprey]

What are you physically doing, on your keyboard, and what do you see on your screen

[slate swan]

your discord message?

[fast osprey]

Is your bot running? What are you doing after you run your bot, and what happens?

[slate swan]

bot runs, just this one userinfo command doesnt work, just doesn’t respond

[fast osprey]

When you say "doesn't work", again, what are you doing, and what happens

Are you typing something into discord? If so, what and where?

[foggy laurel]

are u just executing the command and it shows you thinking or no response. or does the whole command not show up?

a detailed description of what you do and what happens is needed or nobody will be able to help

[slate swan]

no response

that’s a goood response for someone who doesnt speak english wym

[foggy laurel]

have you tried putting the interaction as a parameter in your method header? because then you can defer the interaction and do a follow up with the embed

it either does not reply to the context properly at the moment or takes longer than 3 seconds, which is the timeout duration for interactions if you dont defer them

[slate swan]

no

also wat

[foggy laurel]

any command you run, creates an interaction object, which u can get by replacing your whole ctx param with interaction: discord.Interaction (i think)
there you can do interaction.defer to get 15 minutes instead of 3 seconds to reply, and then do a followup with your embed

u using discord.py`?

[fast osprey]

When you say "no response", what are you doing

Are you typing a prefix command? If so, where? Are you executing a slash command?

[slate swan]

yes

[slate swan]

hybrid commands are prefixed + slash commands.

[fast osprey]

But how are you invoking it

I've been asking what you are doing to test this

[unkempt canyon]

:incoming_envelope: :ok_hand: applied timeout to @proud mulch until <t:1723135323:f> (10 minutes) (reason: duplicates spam - sent 4 duplicate messages).

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

[slate swan]

word.

whats the thing to find info on public_flags?

[fast osprey]

!d discord.User.public_flags

[unkempt canyon]

discord.User.public\_flags

property public_flags```
The publicly available flags the user has.

[slate swan]

how to add this badge to my userinfo command? only hype squad badges seem to work

[wanton current]

Did u read it lol

[finite salmon]

Mb

[fast osprey]

There is no way to definitively tell if someone has nitro. You can guess based on if they use nitro features, but the api doesn't tell you

[slate swan]

is that a work around?

[slate swan]

OMG UR PROFILE IS SAURRR PRETTY

[slate swan]

omggg i got ittt nowww thankkk youuuuu

[shrewd apex]

u can check it if you perform oauth with identify scope

there is a premium type flag somewhere iirc

[slate swan]

too much work, i just checked if user has a banner

im smart innit

[fast osprey]

You're going to get false negatives no matter what you do

[slate swan]

pls elaborate?

[fast osprey]

The API does not tell you when someone has nitro

you are guessing. You are going to be wrong

[slate swan]

if the user has a banner they would obviously have nitro innit?

o nitro basic oops

[wanton current]

<3

[fast osprey]

False negative means you say someone doesn't have nitro when they actually do

[slate swan]

oh

[opal vortex]

bruh

a person can have nitro

BUT NO BANNER set up

bruh I thought there was a property for nitro in discord.py

smth like premium_since or smth.

that can be None if they do not have nitro.

or is that for server boosting? idek atm.

[fast osprey]

That is just server boosting yes

[slate swan]

dk what else to do gang

people dont consider nitro basic nitro anyway

[opal vortex]

wrong, basic is still nitro

anything above paying 0$ to discord for nitro is still nitro lol.

[reef fiber]

Uh I need help with my bot

[fast osprey]

What's the problem?

[slate swan]

word

how would i go about getting a users profile theme? like there primary and accent?

[slate swan]

errr @fast osprey 🥺

[outer violet]

you cant

i think you can get their banner though (if they have one)

[dry kelp]

so it seems impossible to read an asset after it got deleted, is there any way to find it?

[fair herald]

can someone help me with my bot? dm me im on dnd

[shadow vigil]

odd, can you make your bot hidden?

like hidden from the server list?

because I added my bot to my server but I don't see it in the member list but can use commands and stuff

[stark ingot]

That seems more like a discord quirk. Like discord has not updated your bots online status or something.

If your bot only uses http interactions and not the gateway it will also not appear to be online.

Also it could be due to the bots permission not being allowed certain things in a channel. As discord only shows members with some set of permissions in the member list. I think it is the send message permission and this will update per channel depending on permissions

[shadow vigil]

ohh, yeah. thx
