ima make my code pycord

no its for my bot

im trying to make a all in one discord bot

i made it pycord and it say this

but the bot is on

#

async setup is only supported by discord.py 2.0.0 and above, other forks like pycord dont have it

fair herald
#

sorry that im dumb

hushed galleon
#

pip uninstall py-cord, then pip install discord.py

#

in that exact order since they'll conflict with each other if installed at the same time

now ima run python main.py

#

your load_extension() call isnt awaited

fair herald
#

how do i fix that

hushed galleon
#

you'll need to make an asynchronous setup hook function where you can load your extension

#

as in: py @bot.event async def setup_hook(): await bot.load_extension("path.to.ext")

fair herald
#

where do i put that at

#

im so cooked idk what im doing

#

alr i think i did it

Does your cog have a global function like this example?:

async def setup(bot):
    await bot.add_cog(YourCog(bot))
fair herald
#

yeah

scarlet tiger
fair herald
# scarlet tiger And how are you loading the extension? 
async def setup_hook():
    cog_folder = './cog'
    if not os.path.exists(cog_folder):
        print(f"Cog folder '{cog_folder}' does not exist.")
        return

    for filename in os.listdir(cog_folder):
        if filename.endswith('.py') and filename != '__init__.py':
            cog_name = filename[:-3]
            try:
                await bot.load_extension(f'cog.{cog_name}')

It would be great if discord.py had the load_extensions() method that allows to load all cogs directly

hello

wraith plank
#

I need a bit help with something

#

So i have a error message for prefixs but it won‘t work for slash commands its a error message which says „you dont have the specific role to use this command“

#

Btw i use disnake

fast osprey
#

Slash commands have their own permissioning system that prevents them from even seeing the command if they don't have the needed role

wraith plank
#

Yes i understand but i want it to say that he dont have permission to use it and not just saying „this application is not responding“

fast osprey
#

I'm saying if you use the system properly, they can't run the command in the first place

#

They won't even see it. They can't get an error message if they can't run the command

slate swan
#

trying to do hybrid commands and i was wondering on how to make command parameters "Optional"

fast osprey
#

You can provide a default value for the parameter, ex = None

slate swan
#

ah

#

alright

slate swan
#

it doesnt seem to work

#

this i what comes when the user haves no perms

#

it shouldn´t print the bot should sent the message

#

@fast osprey

slate swan
#

derp :>

fast osprey
#

You should use the permissioning system I linked you

slate swan
#

me or?

fast osprey
slate swan
#

let me check again

fast osprey
#

Yeah any changes to the command metadata (like param types) require a sync to be reflected in discord. Plus you may need to refresh your client too

slate swan
#

like discord client

#

or bot client

fast osprey
#

Yeah the discord client you're looking at and running commands in

#

Changes to commands aren't reflected in your discord client immediately sometimes

slate swan
fast osprey
#

The syncing itself no

#

That's instant

#

In this snippet right here, Why the heck is is not editing back? It works for the rest of the above code, as icon, description, name bla bla

image.png
fast osprey
#

If you don't want someone doing these things, why do they have permission to do it in the first place?

dry kelp
dry kelp
#

It's called antinuke, because a lot of people that own /com communities told me to build one

#

Basically, if the protection is enabled, and there happened a change, act function will run, and we store the data_before and edit at the end

fast osprey
#

You are looking for something changing and then you change it back.

I'm suggesting you fix these permissions so unwanted changes don't happen in the first place

#

There are several cases where this approach fails. It is not an effective substitute to protect people

dry kelp
fast osprey
#

It will have gaps, I guarantee it

dry kelp
dry kelp
fast osprey
#

If you do not trust your user base to know how to handle permissions, how are you going to trust them to handle permissions properly to keep your bot functional and uncompromosed

dry kelp
#

Me and my development team said the same

#

but that's said from a developer perspective

#

Plenty users using my bot has tested me saying they want a antinuke, even 1 guy got nuked 3 days ago

fast osprey
#

The solution to people not understanding security isn't to make a bot that handles that for them

#

It is to hold them accountable for actually learning the systems and being responsible

dry kelp
#

there are rats infiltrating, being nice a few days, they win trust, but the owner still has a backup plan if they change anything

#

And the owner on antinuke can make it's own rules

#

as for punishment, or what protections to be enabled

#

So if used properly, antinuke can still be a feature to see, But yes, i agree with you, just don't give perms

#

But as long people keep suggesting this, we have to do this...

fast osprey
#

If you're interested in knowing the edge cases that people can exploit in these systems I'm happy to detail them. If you've already decided you want to make this and aren't interested in actual safety, I'll politely duck out

dry kelp
#

I would like to know

fast osprey
#

Any of these "see change and undo them" approaches are inherently flawed.

a) assuming someone has gotten permissions you don't want them to have, if they have enough they can remove the bot's ability to revert them
b) even then, these operations are heavily rate limited. It is trivial to maliciously lock the bot out of doing this
c) even still they can grant this permission to alts to avoid detection or rate limits themselves

You cannot effectively stop someone from using permissions your own users gave them willingly

dry kelp
#

But you're not right, if bot has a higher role than the user, and the command can be run just by guild owner, they cannot manage it

fast osprey
#

See points 2 and 3

dry kelp
#

as for b, not that even, because we check who the actor was, and stop action

fast osprey
#

You can't stop actions

dry kelp
#

How? Act will punish the user, then we replace

#

so actions stops when the "nuker" is out

fast osprey
#

See point c

dry kelp
#

They cannot do that neither

#

add role protection can be enabled

fast osprey
dry kelp
#

For example if the protection add role is enabled, they will be punished and role removed

fast osprey
#

Again you can't stop people from doing a thing you gave them permission to do

#

You are rate limited on that too

dry kelp
#

I just demostrated you that we can

fast osprey
#

You can easily get to a spot where your bot is locked out from performing any of these reversions

dry kelp
#

then append all actions to a list, if it was channels, webhooks or whatsoever

#

and then we delete everything from the list

fast osprey
#

I think it's a lot easier than you are assuming given how long people have been doing this

dry kelp
#

and at the end we delete the list

fast osprey
#

These systems have existed exactly how you've described for years

#

And the flaws in them are trivial

dry kelp
#

I know, i wasn't planning on making this

#

i had this in 2022

#

But people still want it, and as a bot owner, i do want my bot to grow even more, and if that's what people want...

#

How could i say no

#

And it's a feature that can be turned on/off so not a big deal

fast osprey
#

People want stupid stuff because they are lazy and don't understand the real problem that they are responsible for their own mistakes and need to learn. You are making this problem worse by misinforming them

dry kelp
#

There we be a help option, and informing them right, that was in plan already

#

But i know, I agree with you as i've said, it's just that some people want they're own rules, even for automoderation, even if automod exists

#

Oh it's the same like

#

Why having moderation on a bot?

#

When discord's ui does better

#

people just use bots instead...

fast osprey
#

Just because people want something that does not make it good or even ethical to do so

#

This problem exists precisely because people are misinformed

dry kelp
#

Yup, but we are not here around with babies, so if they want it, we make it...

dry kelp
#

neither the 2 of us would be able, it's like us against the world

#

Nah bro, most people are not childs, they can make they're own actions

fast osprey
#

Not going to argue the ethics of propagating misinformation, that's on you. There's several reasons why that edit would fail, but I'll leave it to others if they're interested in making this problem worse

dry kelp
#

before channel - after channel - replace to before channel

#

The only ways it can fail is if the before channel got deleted

#

But that's why you code defensely, if that error happens, you can just do with contextlib and surpress that error duh

So, whats up with dpy 2.4? Why is it having so many connection issues?

#

I don't have the exact error right now, but when I get the error again, I will 100% send it, I keep for getting to grab it when I see it.

#

Maybe its a code error but its something with a timeout error and a shard connect thing. So I think its a dpy/discord error vs a code error?

fast osprey
#

Very unlikely it's the library itself. 99 times out of 100 it's your code, your network, or discord itself

async def consume(ctx: commands.Context, itemIndex: int, itemAmount: int = 1):

so that itemIndex and itemAmount become required only if the user will use the item

actually

#

hmmm. do i even need to do this step?

#

i guess i should simply just rename it around idk

This is the same thing but is more complex and is designed for bots that manage a large number of guilds. In simple terms, it allows you to "split" the bot into smaller parts to improve performance. But it is not recommended for small bots, so ignore it for now.

# slate swan ive been camelCase since day 0

you can also use @app_commands.rename() if you want your slash command to show a different naming convention, for example kebab-case: py @commands.hybrid_command() @app_commands.rename(itemIndex="item-index", itemAmount="item-amount") async def consume(ctx, itemIndex: int, itemAmount: int): ... the regex for valid application command/option names is defined here:
https://discord.com/developers/docs/interactions/application-commands#application-command-object-application-command-naming

#

as for making your parameter optionally required, have you considered separating it into two commands? as in, /inspect <item> and /consume <item> [amount=1]?

Using intents in discord.py

Intents are a feature of Discord that tells the gateway exactly which events to send your bot. Various features of discord.py rely on having particular intents enabled, further detailed in its documentation. Since discord.py v2.0.0, it has become mandatory for developers to explicitly define the values of these intents in their code.

There are standard and privileged intents. To use privileged intents like Presences, Server Members, and Message Content, you have to first enable them in the Discord Developer Portal. In there, go to the Bot page of your application, scroll down to the Privileged Gateway Intents section, and enable the privileged intents that you need. Standard intents can be used without any changes in the developer portal.

Afterwards in your code, you need to set the intents you want to connect with in the bot's constructor using the intents keyword argument, like this:

from discord import Intents
from discord.ext import commands

# Enable all standard intents and message content
# (prefix commands generally require message content)
intents = Intents.default()
intents.message_content = True

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

For more info about using intents, see discord.py's related guide, and for general information about them, see the Discord developer documentation on intents.

finite salmon
#

There are many complications if you wanna do it locally

#

Like timeouts and stuff

#

If you try doing big exponential calculations, your bot will crash (I tried it) you can fix it by wrapping it under a timeout if you know how to do that

severe sonnet
#

someone already tried to roll a big dice and it crashed my bot

severe sonnet
#

guess i will need to look through it

finite salmon
#

Lemme see if I can find it's docs

#

I just have it's endpoint saved

#

It's this

fast osprey
#

(Usual caveat that if you're sending content/input to a third party you need to make users aware of that)

finite salmon
#

I don't think it's necessary unless you're sharing any sensitive data

fast osprey
#

The TOS don't make a distinction about "sensitive"

finite salmon
#

By sensitive I mean privileged data and in this case you can only send mathematical expression to the api and nothing else so I think it's unnecessary

celest oar
fast osprey
#

You will not share API Data with any third party, except in the following circumstances, subject to compliance with the Terms and applicable laws and regulations: (i) with a Service Provider; (ii) to the extent required under applicable laws or regulations; and (iii) when a user of your Application expressly directs you to share their API Data with the third party (and you will provide us proof thereof upon request)

#

There is no distinction of "sensitive" or "privileged". Data coming from discord is api data, and if it is being shared with a third party that falls under controls. At minimum that's informing users of how its being used

finite salmon

Fair enough ig

Unlikely to be pursued in this case. But there's absolutely no reason to not be transparent with users

How to use files to register other commands, maybe in commands/moderation.py is moderation commands, in commands/fun.py is fun commands, how to use other files?

fast osprey
#

Look up extensions in the documentation

slate swan
fast osprey
#

Cogs are a way to organize your bot's code into modules. They are a way to keep your code clean and organized, and to prevent your main file from getting too big and messy.

This is somewhat misleading, and personally I would recommend the official documentation on extensions

wanton current
#

lol

#

lemme fix:

Cogs are a way to organise your bot's code into cogs.

fast osprey
#

The section afterwards essentially contradicts this so shrug . IMO a lot of folks dogmatically suggest having a 1:1 relation between cogs and extensions without really exploring the (important) reasons why you would not want that in every case

sorry for the delay, i wasn't looking at discord

#

i just need something that can recall the view and the button callback on bots reboot

vocal laurel
thin trout
#

it was in the on_ready but i removed it cause it wasn't working

#

if you can make me an example

vocal laurel
thin trout
#

i don't even know what you are talking abount

vocal laurel
# 
class Bot(commands.Bot):
  pass
#

do you have something like that?

thin trout
#

nop

vocal laurel
#

ok and how did you try adding it to the on_ready?

thin trout
#

saw a tutorial:
on_ready(self)
self.add_view(view)

vocal laurel
#

since you aren't subclassing commands.Bot, you don't use self

thin trout

i added mine

        await interaction.response.send_message(embed = embed, view = ticketCloseConfirmButton(), ephemeral = True)```
vocal laurel
#

how did you add your view

thin trout
#

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
bot.add_view(ticketCloseButton)

vocal laurel

you forgot the brackets

#

bot.add_view(ticketCloseButton())

still not working

Can anyone teach me python for discord bots

vocal laurel
#

Have you learnt the basics of python?

sage shore
vocal laurel
# sage shore I only know how to print lol

You should learn the basics, it will help out a lot otherwise its extremly hard to teach someone how to code a discord bot with python if they have no knowledge of python

opaque knot

hello, why does it get activated on embeds too?

sage shore
vocal laurel
# opaque knot hello, why does it get activated on embeds too?

because the params are before and after, so basically whenever a message is editied, it sends that message, if you want to make sure it isn't replying to an embed, just add an if statement like this

if not message.embeds:
  await message.reply("can't you type properly once??")

hey guys i have written this code and i have been trying to add a whitelist to this but i couldnt
#

i made a whitelist.txt file which i put my and my friend's user id in it

#

like 1234567890,0987654321

#

i tried separating reading this file and compare it with the user id but it didnt worked

#

doesnt matter how much i tried i couldnt get the user id of the person who deleted the channel

#

any idea how can i get the user id

fast osprey
#

If you don't want someone deleting a channel, they shouldn't be given the permission to do so in the first place

winged cloud
tribal bison
#

almost done with the skelton of my bot (besides giving it issues/data)

#

all help would be greatly appericated as I have no clue how to fix this

fast osprey
# winged cloud well thats a little complicated situation i just dont want the bot to block me a...

Right, but why are you allowing anyone to delete a channel if you've said you don't want them doing it? The right way to prevent this is to not give them permission to do it in the first place, currently you're going to lose all of your messages anyways and it's pretty easy for them to rate limit your bot into not being able to fix things. Also if the bot ever happens to be down or otherwise unresponsive at the moment this happens, you're never going to recreate the channel

The proper way to do this would be to detect if someone gets the permission in the first place when you don't want them having it, though even this falls into the same limitations I described. The only surefire way is just for people to be informed and not give people permissions they don't want them to use

just dont give people bot authorzation for that command

tribal bison
winged cloud
fast osprey
#

You can limit the permissions they have

winged cloud
fast osprey
#

you can let them moderate without granting them permission to delete channels. It's not an all or nothing thing

#

You should only give people the minimal set of permissions needed to do their stated job, not more

#

A good piece of automation would be for checking the permissions and changes to them, not for waiting for someone to abuse the permissions they shouldn't have had in the first place

winged cloud
fast osprey
#

You temporarily give them permission to delete channels? And you're trusting them to not delete things they shouldn't?

winged cloud
#

and also i have separated the moderator roles depending on their responsibilities in the server such as chat mod, security mod etc

tribal bison
#

based off what i am reading this is also not so much as a code issue more so a discord issue

winged cloud
#

i got stuck in this code for a few days and came here to get some help not to be judged

tribal bison
#

he is not judging (i think) It is more easier to do this in discord than code

fast osprey
#

You can do this with code, I'm just warning you that people are going to a) abuse this if they're malicious and b) there is a very clean and simple answer that works every time which you are choosing to not do

#

If you're fine with the fact that this isn't going to actually stop people reliably, then you're more than welcome to go on. The user who performed the action is stored in the AuditLogEntry

#

fast osprey
cyan eagle

ohk

ty

fast osprey
#

Lots of other good resources out there, just make sure to stick to things that are official and credible

#

discord.Interaction written exactly refers to a class in the library. You can't change that. However when you make a function and name a parameter interaction, that's whatever you want. You could name that parameter Steve and your code would still work as long as you referred to it as such in that function

#

You should not be using time.sleep in any async framework

#

It's unclear when you want to do this waiting, or really why

#

Why?

#

You can put an asyncio.sleep anywhere in your code, but making things take randomly longer doesn't seem like a good idea

#

!d asyncio.sleep

unkempt canyonBOT
#
asyncio.sleep 

coroutine asyncio.sleep(delay, result=None)```
Block for *delay* seconds.

If *result* is provided, it is returned to the caller when the coroutine completes.

`sleep()` always suspends the current task, allowing other tasks to run.

Setting the delay to 0 provides an optimized path to allow other tasks to run. This can be used by long\-running functions to avoid blocking the event loop for the full duration of the function call.

Example of coroutine displaying the current date every second for 5 seconds:
fast osprey
#

You have to respond to interactions within 3 seconds

#

You did not

#

Or you would not be getting that error

#

You have to respond to an interaction within 3 seconds of that interaction happening. That is dictated by discord and not something you can change

#

The internet is not instant

#

You should not wait 3 seconds before you try to respond. Just respond

#

If you really want to, you can use the defer response as the error suggests to give the user a "bot is thinking" message and then you can artificially wait however long you want after

#

I saw your code. And I told you the internet isn't instant

#

I'm perfectly fine

#

And you suggesting I'm not is pretty condescending

#

When the user performs an interaction, that goes from discord to your bot over the internet. When your bot responds, this also goes over the internet. These things take time. If you sleep exactly 3 seconds, that time + the 3 seconds will be greater than 3 seconds

scarlet tiger
#

What is the problem?

wanton current
fast osprey
#

It is 3 seconds timer from when the interaction happens to when discord receives a response. Not 3 seconds inside your bot. The network on either side is nonzero and factored into the limit

scarlet tiger
#

The error tells you what to do, just use defer()

wanton current
#

We don't write code for you

scarlet tiger
#

Read the documentation and look for defer()

mild token
#

is there a way to add cooldown on button interaction

fast osprey
#

dpy at least doesn't give this to you out of the box. You'd have to track that inside the view and decide what to do

#

You could reuse the library's CooldownMapping but it's not documented iirc

A simple print statement as the first line of the command for example

k let me try to explain this better the command is "/h gelbooru" then tags then after tags amount of images but if i do a command like this "/h gelbooru facing_viewer" it responds with 0 data no error just not giving any data i think whats happening is it thinks of the _ as a space or something similar

jaunty cape
#

Is this multiple tags or tags with spaces

dapper cobalt
#

i believe u mean the *

jaunty cape
#

I literally have no idea what you’re saying

dapper cobalt
jaunty cape
#

Why are you using an on_message instead of an actual command

dapper cobalt
#

better learn how to use command handlers. Saves ton of time, increase performance, won't make u go through complicated statements, and will be a lot more organized. Will help you with finding where errors are coming from much easier too, as raised errors will let u know which function it's coming from

#

quick example:

@bot.command()
async def h(ctx, api, tags, limit):
  print(api, tags, limit)
dapper cobalt
gloomy furnace
#

i think i should just shelf the project for now and go spend some time learning honestly is problably the best thing for me for now

dapper cobalt
#

or, read the documentations. It has some good examples which u can learn from. And start with something basic, and i mean very basic that u could try starting with a bot that just responds to commands with texts

jaunty cape
keen niche
#

oof

#

how does one do that lmao

jaunty cape
mild token
#

Can I make command name like with spaces with application_command.rename decorator? that's for params sorry

jaunty cape
mild token
jaunty cape
mild token
jaunty cape
#

I’m not sure what this means sorry

mild token
#

I am sorry I didn't get what u didn't understood in above explanation 😅

#

If u can specify which part u didn't understood I can clear that

jaunty cape
#

All of it

mild token
#

Still don't get what u didn't understood I explained it clearly if u read it😅

jaunty cape
#

Who are you giving perms to? What are you integrating to where? Wdym by ban in first word?

mild token
#

Different people

jaunty cape
#

I literally have no idea what you’re trying to do

mild token
#

And integration is through discord integration

jaunty cape
#

Can you give me an example

mild token
#

I just want my commands to have space between its name

#

One will be

  • ban
  • ban list

I want to each of them with different roles through discord integration server setting for bots

#

The problem I have is command name don't accept spaces

jaunty cape
#

Are you requiring permissions to use the commands?

mild token
#

Through bot or integration?

#

Bot integration through server setting i am pointing

jaunty cape
#

Sorry this English is really hard for me to read, and I don’t speak your language

mild token
#

😅

jaunty cape
#

Ok if you want a space in your command

#

You can make a separate Cog
class Ban(app_commands.Group)

#

And you can define commands as you would normally

#

Or you can make a variable in your already existing Cog (or main code if you aren’t using cogs) that is equal to app_commands.Group(name=“…”)

mild token
#

I will ask in d.py server how can I use spaces without grouping them

#

Or if anyone knows here plz ping me

jaunty cape
#

I’ve only used command Groups to do it

mild token
#

Hmm

jaunty cape
#

Honestly I wouldn’t even be surprised if you can directly set the name parameter in your decorator to a name with a space @mild token

#

You can try that if you want to

mild token
jaunty cape
#

Oof

#

You might have to use a sub command

mild token
jaunty cape
#

No don’t try to do that

mild token
#

Lol why?

jaunty cape
#

Unless you understand what all the code does in the library don’t try to change it

mild token
#

I am asking in d.py server for this very reason only

#

If they given me some better solution I will definately take that

jaunty cape
#

You can try to do @ban_command.command(name=“list”)

#

Assuming your ban function is named ban_command

mild token
#

OwO ban_function is also a command?

jaunty cape
#

Uh what

mild token
#

I am trying to make command having spaces like they do in group cog

#

Group commands*

jaunty cape
#

So list is actually /ban list

#

That is also a solution to having a space in your command

mild token
#

Oh

#

Looks cool

#

So this ban_function is the name of the function

#

The function name of app_command right?

jaunty cape
#

Yeah it’s the name of the function you used to implement your ban command logic

mild token
#

This will appear in integration section seperately right?

jaunty cape
#

What is integration dude

mild token
jaunty cape
#

Idk what you’re talking about, send a screenshot

mild token
#

One sec let me switch to pc

#

@jaunty cape this thing

image.png
#

audit and all are group commands but with cog only parent appears

#

and this is the integration i am talking about from that time

#

which u can get from server setting

jaunty cape
mild token
#

It doesn't audit has 4 sub commands

jaunty cape
#

I’m gonna tell you to try it and see

jaunty cape
mild token
#

Yes only parent shows

jaunty cape
#

Dang

mild token
#

Audit is parent command it has 4 sub commands

#

The discord api allows spaces

#

But library dont,except group commands

#

That's why I am looking for work around

jaunty cape
#

Actually can I see your code for audit and the sub commands @mild token

mild token
#

I have the same implementation

jaunty cape
#

Try using the sub command thing I showed you

mild token
#

And d.js😅 I have alot of code written in py already

#

It won't make a difference library parse then exactly the same

#

Th em*

jaunty cape
#

Dang.

mild token
#

Them*

#

I am blind I missed the last part in the docs where they have mentioned name and message which refers to message and context menu command ,so that's not a limitation of library but discord api itself : ( @jaunty cape

But are you debugging? Have you put in print statements? Do you know if those if statements are working as you assume they do?

delicate silo

I have a hybrid command that has multiple dropdowns (one relies on the response of the previous one)
Because it takes a bit for the output to come I use async with ctx.typing(): to let the user know it busy.

I have async with ctx.typing(): a few times in that single command-flow and it works perfectly on the normal command (non-slash, just the prefix) but whenever I use the slash command it fails with ERROR: Unexpected error in search command: This interaction has already been responded to before

But the typing feedback is not really needed when using the slash command, so is there a way I can check what type of command is being used and only show the typing on the non-slash command?

fast osprey
#

If it's not needed in the slash command, why is it needed in the prefix? By definition that would have to take less than 3 seconds end to end

delicate silo
#

The slash command shows ... is thinking whenever it's busy

#

prefix command is just empty

#

Hmm, it did before I thought, not anymore

fast osprey
#

Does this process take less than 3 seconds before you respond?

delicate silo
#

It takes a bunch of data from a database and manipulates it. It takes about 5 to 7 seconds

#

the query is optimized, but it has a slow connection to the db

fast osprey
#

Then at minimum the slash invocation has to respond within 3 seconds

#

You can check context.interaction to see which type of invocation it is, but this leads to pretty ugly and unmanageable code if it substantially forks

delicate silo
#

example code (I removed some stuff to make it smaller to show here):

async with ctx.typing():
    search_data = await search_db(search_str)
self.logger.info(f"Search completed for '{search_str}', found {len(search_data)} results.")


selector = DropdownSelector1(search_list=search_data)
message = await ctx.send(embed=embed, view=selector)

def check_interaction(interaction: discord.Interaction):
    return interaction.user == ctx.author and interaction.message.id == message.id

try:
    interaction = await self.bot.wait_for("interaction", check=check_interaction, timeout=20)
    selected_value = selector.get_selected_value()

    if selected_value is None:
        await ctx.send("No item was selected.")
        self.logger.warning(f"{ctx.author.name} did not select any item for {search_str}.")
        return
    if "Cancel" in selected_value:
        await message.delete()
        self.logger.info(f"{ctx.author.name} canceled the selection for {search_str}.")
        return

async with ctx.typing():
    individual_data = db_get_id(selected_item["id"])
    self.logger.info(f"Fetched individual data for {selected_item['name']}.")
    list_data = await get_list(individual_data)
    self.logger.info(f"Fetched list for {selected_item['name']}. Found {len(list_data)}.")

selector2 = DropdownSelector2(list_data=list_data)
message = await ctx.send(f"Select for **{selected_item['name']}**!", view=selector2)

def check_interaction(interaction: discord.Interaction):
    return interaction.user == ctx.author and interaction.message.id == message.id

try:
    await self.bot.wait_for("interaction", check=check_interaction, timeout=20)
    selected_value = selector2.get_selected_value()
    self.logger.info(f"Selected value: {selected_value}.")
except asyncio.TimeoutError:
    self.logger.warning(f"{ctx.author.name} exceeded the selection time limit.")
#

On this code it stops whenever it get to the async with ctx.typing(): just above individual_data = db_get_id(selected_item["id"])

delicate silo
fast osprey
#

Of?

#

The entire point of hybrids (which personally I disagree with but whatever) is to try to get a vaguely consistent experience with minimally divergent code. You shouldn't need to fork

#

Context.typing issues an interaction response (defer) when it's a slash command invocation

#

Really you should not need to pop up multiple typing indicators, just do one and then do everything you need to in it

delicate silo
fast osprey
#

What do you mean by "showing typing for dropdown"? The typing indicator is on the channel

#

Show typing indicator -> do all the things you need to -> end typing indicator -> command done

delicate silo
#

Yes I know, but the typing stops midway the command

#

But nvm, I'll just use ctx.prefix to check if it's from a /

fast osprey
#

What is stopping it?

delicate silo
#

idk

#

typing starts until the first dropdown

fast osprey
#

You shouldn't be sending a message until you're done with whatever slow process you're doing

delicate silo
#

after the selection of the first dropdown it stops showing

fast osprey
delicate silo
#

see my example

fast osprey
#

What does "selection of first dropdown" mean

delicate silo
# 
async with ctx.typing():
    search_data = await search_db(search_str)
    self.logger.info(f"Search completed for '{search_str}', found {len(search_data)} results.")


    selector = DropdownSelector1(search_list=search_data)
    message = await ctx.send(embed=embed, view=selector)
    # Typing stops and doesn't return
    def check_interaction(interaction: discord.Interaction):
        return interaction.user == ctx.author and interaction.message.id == message.id
    
    try:
        interaction = await self.bot.wait_for("interaction", check=check_interaction, timeout=20)

fast osprey
#

You should not ever be using wait_for with interactions

#

you should be doing whatever you want in the callback of that interaction

delicate silo
#

I know, but then I get This interaction has already been responded to before everywhere

# 
    async def select_callback(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):
        try:
            self.selected_value = interaction.data["values"]
            await interaction.response.defer()
        except Exception as e:
            print(f"Error during select callback: {e}")
            await interaction.response.send_message("An error occurred while processing your selection.", ephemeral=True)
        finally:
            self.clear_items()  # Clearing items after the response is sent
fast osprey
#

That won't happen if you locally handle interactions in their specific callback

#

That isn't how you should be declaring callbacks

#

you should either a) make a view subclass with @ui.select decorators or b) subclass Select directly. You should not be inlining callbacks and stapling them onto components

delicate silo
#

it's a copy from my DropdownSelector1 class

fast osprey
#

That doesn't really address what I said

#

Those are the two recommended, supported ways of doing selects

delicate silo
#

Do you have examples? I never find the correct examples online so I just try until it works

fast osprey
#

The views subfolder of the examples folder in the repo

#

anything unofficial online is going to tell you random stuff that someone made up

delicate silo
#

I see, but I still don't see the difference between mine and that example

fast osprey
#

None of the examples have a method called select_callback which takes in an interaction

#

They either
a) subclass View and use the @ui.select decorator, which takes in self, interaction, select or
b) subclass Select and implement the callback method

delicate silo
# 
class DropdownSelector1 (discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self, search_list):
        super().__init__()
        self.search_list = search_list
        self.selected_value = None
        self.create_selects()

    def create_selects(self):
        num_selects = (len(self.search_list) // 25) + 1
        for i in range(num_selects):
            start_index = i * 25
            end_index = (i + 1) * 25
            options = [discord.SelectOption(label=f'{(index + start_index) + 1} - {media["name"]}',  description=f'{data["service"]} - {data["type"]}', value=f'{data["id"]}-{index + start_index}') for index, data in enumerate(self.search_list[start_index:end_index])]
            select = discord.ui.Select(placeholder="Make a selection", min_values=1, max_values=1, options=options)
            select.callback = self.select_callback
            self.add_item(select)

    async def select_callback(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):
        try:
            selected_value = interaction.data["values"][0]
            selected_id, _ = selected_value.rsplit("-", 1)
            self.selected_value = {
                "id": selected_id,
                "name": next(item["name"] for item in self.search_list if item["id"] == selected_id),
            }
            await interaction.response.defer()
        except Exception as e:
            print(f"Error during select callback: {e}")
            await interaction.response.send_message("An error occurred while processing your selection.", ephemeral=True)
        finally:
            self.clear_items()
fast osprey
#

You're stapling callbacks onto generic Select objects, which is not recommended

#

That's more semantics, but really this would be better served with a Select subclass that implements callback. Either way, that doesn't address the wait_for('interaction') which is a much more tangible issue

delicate silo
#

Ok, I'll see if I can change it. It probably will fix the typing issue I hope

fast osprey
#

Sending a message ends the typing indicator iirc. You should only start sending messages when you're done

#

If you're sending a message after the user interacts with one view, that should be handled in that view, as it's that view's responsibility. It is not the command's at that point

Ook

thin trout
#

i have this on the command but after 2 minutes it goes on timeout and stops working.
the button i created in the class will keep work even after the bots reboot.

button = Button(label="✅ Apri un ticket", style=discord.ButtonStyle.blurple)
button.callback = ticketMenuCallBack
view = View(timeout=None)

fast osprey
#

You should not be stapling callbacks onto generic buttons

thin trout
#

i don't know how to create the class one with a callback

fast osprey
#

You should be making a view class like that example

#

What about that example is unclear?

thin trout
#

i don't know what i have to put here to get the call back

    def __init__(self) -> None:
        super().__init__(timeout = None)
    
    @discord.ui.button(label = "Open a ticket", style = discord.ButtonStyle.red, custom_id = "close")
    async def close(self, interaction, button):```
fast osprey
#

What do you mean by "get" the callback?

#

The body of close is what happens when that button is pushed

thin trout
#

thats another one, i forgot to rename it but how can i use the drop down menu callback in it?
this is the current but it goes timeout after 2 minutes

@commands.has_permissions(administrator=True)
async def ticket(ctx, member: discord.Member = None):
    await ctx.message.delete()

    button = Button(label=":white_check_mark: Apri un ticket", style=discord.ButtonStyle.blurple)
    button.callback = ticketMenuCallBack
    view = View(timeout=None)
    view.add_item(button)
    await ctx.send(view=view, embed=embed)```
i don't know much (almost anything) about python
fast osprey
#

Again, you should not be stapling callbacks to generic buttons

#

you should make a View class like that example

fast osprey
thin trout
# fast osprey you should make a View class like that example

im trying

class ticketMenuView(discord.ui.View):
def init(self) -> None:
super().init(timeout = None)

@discord.ui.Button(label = "Apri un ticket", style = discord.ButtonStyle.blurple, custom_id = "ticket_open")
async def ticket_open(self, interaction, button):
    await interaction.response.ticketMenuCallBack()
fast osprey
#

ticketMenuCallBack() isn't a method of interaction.response

thin trout
#

what's the method?

fast osprey
#

What is the example doing?

thin trout
#

this one? ticketMenuCallBack

fast osprey
#

No, how is that example using interaction.response?

thin trout
#

is this one?

async def ticket_open(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):
    await self.ticketMenuCallBack(interaction)
fast osprey
#

This is a library object that has a limited set of methods. You can't just call things on it

#

no

fast osprey
thin trout
#

so i have to create the menu in it?

slate swan
#

How to make user.timeout? Using py-cord

fast osprey
#

If you are in a button callback, and you want to respond to a click by sending a message, you have to use interaction.response.send_message(...). What you pass inside of that is what goes into the message you send

young dagger
#

Is there any way to detect these kinds of messages?

boreal swan
# young dagger Is there any way to detect these kinds of messages?

I'm sure there is, some discord mods like Vencord have a feature to completely disable these messages and their built-in plugins are open-source so you can look through it and see how they're able to detect it in the first place. Be aware that this specific plugin you're talking about is written in type-script so you could possibly edit the source of the plugin and write to a file on disk and then have your python script read from that file

i separate all of my commands to a folder (not grouped, just 1 command for each file), does that count as cogs?

you can either use git or pip for this, note that if you use pip you need to have git installed anyway

Hi I'm new to Python development for discord bots.

I seem to have run into an issue with getting interactions working for my bot with this issue here when I'm trying to set up buttons under an embed. I have tried looking for tutorials and help on Youtube and other sites but it appears that all the information out there is outdated.

This is my code for the cog that I'm calling a pagination module from

import os
from discord.ext import commands
from discord.ext.commands import BucketType, cog, BadArgument, command, cooldown
from embedconfig import EmbedClass
from pagination import PaginationView

class MemoryList(commands.Cog):
    ...
    @commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_ready(self):
        print('MemoryList loaded.')

    @commands.command(pass_context=True)
    async def memorylist(self, ctx):
        
        pagination_view = PaginationView()
        await pagination_view.send(ctx)
        await ctx.respond("This is a button!", view=PaginationView()) # Send a message with our View class that contains the button     

async def setup(bot: commands.Bot):
    await bot.add_cog(MemoryList(bot))
#

and then the actual pagination module

class PaginationView(discord.ui.View):
    ...
    async def send(self, ctx):
        self.message = await ctx.send(view=self)
        await self.update_message(self.data[:self.sep])

    @discord.ui.button(label="Click me!", style=discord.ButtonStyle.primary, emoji="😎") # Create a button with the label "😎 Click me!" with color Blurple
    async def button_callback(self, button, interaction):
        await interaction.followup.send("You clicked the button!") # Send a message when the button is clicked
#

Is there anything I'm missing from this?

merry cliff
#

why does the view send its own message

dire timber
#

was following a tutorial on YT so I'm clueless about what should/shouldn't be there lol

merry cliff
#

this is a resource i heavily recommend to everyone

dire timber
#

thank you very much ❤️

#

lmao no way I would have found this just by Googling

May also wanna check out the offical d.py docs

I have a question in the picture

You have to declare intents when making a client. If you're following an example or tutorial it's very outdated

#

!intents

Using intents in discord.py

Intents are a feature of Discord that tells the gateway exactly which events to send your bot. Various features of discord.py rely on having particular intents enabled, further detailed in its documentation. Since discord.py v2.0.0, it has become mandatory for developers to explicitly define the values of these intents in their code.

There are standard and privileged intents. To use privileged intents like Presences, Server Members, and Message Content, you have to first enable them in the Discord Developer Portal. In there, go to the Bot page of your application, scroll down to the Privileged Gateway Intents section, and enable the privileged intents that you need. Standard intents can be used without any changes in the developer portal.

Afterwards in your code, you need to set the intents you want to connect with in the bot's constructor using the intents keyword argument, like this:

from discord import Intents
from discord.ext import commands

# Enable all standard intents and message content
# (prefix commands generally require message content)
intents = Intents.default()
intents.message_content = True

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

For more info about using intents, see discord.py's related guide, and for general information about them, see the Discord developer documentation on intents.

Can i hire a discord coder here?

#

is it possible to send modal with followup?

fast osprey
#

Nope

mild token
fast osprey
#

Has to be the primary response

#

You can defer + followup with a button that then opens the modal

#

Or just do the slow thing in the modal submit

mild token
#

can i do like followup and response both in error handler and according to the command it works?

fast osprey
#

You can check if the interaction was responded to in your handler

mild token
fast osprey
#

It might be on the response

#

!d discord.InteractionResponse.is_done

unkempt canyonBOT
#
discord.InteractionResponse.is\_done 

is_done()```
[`bool`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#bool): Indicates whether an interaction response has been done before.

An interaction can only be responded to once.

I got no errors in terminal and some random person said to add the browser thing to fix it and that didn’t work, can somebody help me without completely spoonfeeding me? https://paste.pythondiscord.com/QQDQ
can u help me?

fast osprey
#

Not much we can go on without errors

stark ingot
#

Not sure if this is what is wrong but you should not use requests in your bot as it is blocking. aiohttp is already installed with discord.py so you can use that for a similar experience, just a few modifications to the code.

Is the command just not sending anything?

You'll need to do some debugging to see what is happening

#

And/or fix your error handling/logging

#

You should not be using blanket try/excepts with no exception type, currently you're throwing away any traceback or useful logging

#

When I created my discord bot I was as minimal as I could be when choosing the perms it requires. Turns out I needed a few more then I thought for the functions it performs and so it gets errors in certain servers that don't have the perms updated. I want it to leave servers so that I can sort of reset the perms for so that there are no issues with that but it doesn't have that perm TEARS is there a way I can do it without having the perm or am I kind of screwed?

fast osprey
#

It can have perms granted to it without it leaving

mellow token
fast osprey
#

I mean you can detect it with code yeah. Or just have an error handler when someone asks the bot to do something they haven't given it permission to do

slate swan
#

is there way to make a bot work in someones dms?

fast osprey
#

They do by default

def load_config(file_path):
    with open(file_path, 'r') as file:
        config = json.load(file)
    return config

config_file_path = 'config.json'
config = load_config(config_file_path)``` why can i not load config.json in my python file

What makes you think this isn't working?

does anyone know of a guide (**not **an api reference) to make user-installed commands?

Then your file isn't encoded or formatted properly

I don't know how to do those commands in discord.py

fast osprey
#

!d discord.app_commands.user_install

unkempt canyonBOT
#
discord.app\_commands.user\_install 

@discord.app_commands.user_install(func=None)```
A decorator that indicates this command should be installed for users.

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

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

New in version 2\.4\.
