[umbral halo]

hi can anyone have discord bot who have ban,unban? if yes ping me (of course with code)

and when ban dm guy who get banned

[scarlet tiger]

You have to do it yourself, nobody will give you the work already done. Read the documentation of the library you are using and if you have problems or questions you can send it here.

[umbral halo]

ik but i have error with unban

[scarlet tiger]

Please send the error and the relevant code so that someone can help you.

[open cobalt]

guys, how you handle errors with nextcord api?

[umbral halo]

okay wait

[open cobalt]

are you guys using try except or on_error or what? Please with example

[scarlet tiger]

I don't use the nextcord library but I usually have a try-except in each command, it helps me to have a more specific error handling in each command

[open cobalt]

ok, you using it with logging?

[scarlet tiger]

Yep

[open cobalt]

ok, sounds good

[wispy falcon]

any free bot hosting service

[umbral halo]

When I try to unban someone, I see a red message above the command saying "Enter an integer," even though I provided the user ID, which is an integer.

[fast osprey]

It is worth noting that the discord client has native banning and unbanning functionality. By implementing it in your bot, you are stripping your server of accurate audit logs and proper 2FA controls (possibly among other things). Up to you if those things are worth sacrificing for what is probably minimal or no gain

[wispy falcon]

?

[wispy falcon]

what

[open cobalt]

please guys, dont use free hosting I guess

It has always a catch

[wispy falcon]

im broke $

[open cobalt]

me too

[wispy falcon]

then theres no point in making discord bots tbh

!hosting

[unkempt canyon]

Discord Bot Hosting

Using free hosting options like repl.it or Heroku for continuous 24/7 bot hosting is strongly discouraged.
Instead, opt for a virtual private server (VPS) or use your own spare hardware if you'd rather not pay for hosting.

See our Discord Bot Hosting Guide on our website that compares many hosting providers, both free and paid.

You may also use #965291480992321536 to discuss different discord bot hosting options.

[umbral halo]

its a polish best free hosting but its have close rules

[open cobalt]

vex, you can get a vps for really cheap

[umbral halo]

fr

[wispy falcon]

for how much?

[umbral halo]

like 0.99 euro

[wispy falcon]

got that $

[umbral halo]

send you that hosting?

[wispy falcon]

yeah

[open cobalt]

you must pay one time installation fee probably

[unkempt canyon]

Traceback

Please provide the full traceback for your exception in order to help us identify your issue.
While the last line of the error message tells us what kind of error you got,
the full traceback will tell us which line, and other critical information to solve your problem.
Please avoid screenshots so we can copy and paste parts of the message.

A full traceback could look like:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "my_file.py", line 5, in <module>
    add_three("6")
  File "my_file.py", line 2, in add_three
    a = num + 3
        ~~~~^~~
TypeError: can only concatenate str (not "int") to str

If the traceback is long, use our pastebin.

where do you host it?

[scarlet tiger]

[open cobalt]

you get along with the price ? is it ok for you?

affordable?

[scarlet tiger]

For me it's fine but there are surely services with better prices.

[wispy falcon]

after that, then i can continue hosting my bot without paying?

[fast osprey]

There is a base level cost (internet, electricity, datacenter maintenance) when running a vps. If someone is charging you less than that or nothing, you should be suspicious and concerned with where that money is coming from

People aren't running charities

[slate swan]

the amount of people that don't even get information about coding a bot, aka that it requires a vps which isn't free, is astonishing

[fast osprey]

(Hint: they're selling your data or trying to farm your token)

[slate swan]

then they want to have it 24/7 and they wonder why they gotta pay

[wispy falcon]

ive never used a hosting service

[open cobalt]

@wispy falcon when it says lets say 3 euros monthly you must also pay a one time installation fee of lets say 30 euros

[slate swan]

it's like a second pc, so it obviously won't be free

[wispy falcon]

alr

[slate swan]

installation fees are a joke imo but yeah

[wispy falcon]

ok

[wanton current]

or just get a vps without an installation fee

[slate swan]

whoever charges you installation fees, don't get it 👍

[scarlet tiger]

If you don't want to pay for a VPS you can use your computer

[open cobalt]

yeah but your computer must be 24/7 on then

[wispy falcon]

i was js saying because @slate swan expects people to know everything

[scarlet tiger]

But the electricity bill will go up in price and it can be more expensive than a VPS lol

[slate swan]

not everything, but at least the bare minim of research would be something ideal

[wispy falcon]

ok

[slate swan]

jeez people get upset pretty fast in 2024

[wispy falcon]

im not upset

youre buggin

[slate swan]

your edited message clearly showed you are

[wispy falcon]

"mr smarty pants" isnt that a good thing

[slate swan]

upset

[open cobalt]

guys, nothing is free in this world, there is always a catch to it. Servers are just pcs that run 24/7 to serve you etc. If you want to host it on your on just use a raspberry pi

[slate swan]

honestly electricity fees probably aren't that high for a rpi running 24/7

[wispy falcon]

maybe i seem upset to you but im not

[slate swan]

someone some day made the calculations and wasn't higher than the cost of a vps

depends your bot etc. obviously, same for the vps - there are $15 vps or $3 vps

[stark ingot]

You need to use a string input for discord IDs. Discord IDs are too long to be considered numbers in some programing languages.

[scarlet tiger]

But on a VPS you don't have the responsibility of hardware maintenance.

[slate swan]

let's be honest, i have a rpi running for 5-6 years

hardware "maintenance" == 0

choose your intents wisely aka don't enable unnecessary intents, setup proper caching and you won't need a super expensive vps

[stark ingot]

Hardware maintenance includes protecting against power outage downtime and such

As well as internet downtime

[scarlet tiger]

Yeah, I have a VPS with 1GB of RAM and it works pretty well and it's not expensive.

[wispy falcon]

works thank you

[umbral halo]

❤️

[wanton cosmos]

huh

im finding a working ltc sender function do anyone have?

[uneven trail]

can you elaborate on what you want, you're a bit vague

[timber dragon]

Time to buy some ltc since people are apparently making discord bots to auto buy

[hearty sentinel]

Question:
Is t possible to make a bot (or use some api) to search some specific keywords in this "Python" server? (same as in the top right corner)

Or there are some antispam/security policy preventing this?

I cannot find any info either.

[sand imp]

You would need have your bot invited here, which is never going to happen

[fast osprey]

Also bots aren't given access to the search endpoint

[wispy falcon]

any ideas what kind of discord bot to make?

[fast osprey]

Depends entirely what your goals are

[wispy falcon]

Not set

[broken sail]

i dont know how to get the bot up and running

@sand imp

[sand imp]

What bot?

[broken sail]

my bot

do you work on discord bots

@sand imp

[open cobalt]

hey guys

[sand imp]

I have worked with them in the past.

What is your issue, can you share your code?

[broken sail]

im tryna get it running

@sand imp

can we get in a call

[broken sail]

answer my dm when you see this

so we can get into a call

[white plume]

im working on a somewhat simple discord bot but im pretty noob - is anyone available to review the code and make suggestions ?

[slate swan]

just share your issue here in this channel, it's made for that... currently everyone is wasting time unnecessarily

[white plume]

Need help with this bot - please see below:

Summary of Command Flow:
Start Boss Voting (/bossvoting): Users select up to 4 bosses they want to vote for.
Vote for Items (/itemvote): Users vote for items for each of the top voted bosses.
End Boss Voting (/endbossvote): Admins can finalize the boss voting and display the top bosses.
End Item Voting (/enditemvote): Admins can finalize the item voting and display the top voted items for each boss.
Clear Votes (/clearvotes): Admins can clear all voting data from the database.

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/KMOQ

[slate swan]

Need help

What do you need help with? What's the error? What's the unexpected behavior?

We won't guess or run your code

[white plume]

My apologies. So the issue I am coming across is the clear votes command is not actually showing up in discord. All others show fine.

[slate swan]

Have you synced the command tree after creating the command?

[white plume]

async def on_ready():
logger.info(f"Bot is ready. Logged in as {bot.user}")
await bot.change_presence(activity=discord.Game(name="Playing Throne and Liberty"))

# Re-sync commands manually
await bot.tree.sync()

this is what im using

[slate swan]

might want to delete that screenshot and reset your token

then read https://realpython.com/run-python-scripts/#using-the-python-command and not that discord bots are for advanced python users, so you should learn how to use python in the first place

[slate swan]

Don't sync in an on_ready event - either make a command for it or overwrite the setup_hook function

[stark locust]

how to fix such logic error

is this common?

emojis come up as :venmo: for eg

[fast osprey]

Are you facilitating money transfers for a fee?

[stark locust]

yes thats my bot exchange bot

but the problem is the emoji works on most panels

but on some panels they come up like this :Eth:

[fast osprey]

That is against the discord monetization policy

[stark ingot]

Also dont change presence in on_ready
I belive you can pass the activity kwarg to the bot constructor. It might have a different name though.

[stark ingot]

Im not saying that it is not against some discord policy, but I think the monetization policy only applies to people using discords monetization features.

[fast osprey]

Beginning on October 7, 2024, in regions where Discord supports monetization through its Premium Apps products, all developers who offer paid features or capabilities for their Application will be required to:

(i) support purchase of such features or capabilities through Discord’s Premium Apps products; and,
(ii) offer such features or capabilities at prices on Discord that are no higher than the prices at which they are offered through other payment options.

And given that venmo only operates in the US, it's pretty reasonable to assume that this applies

[broken sail]

help

ctx and embedd dont work

[fast osprey]

You've mixed up indents in your code

[broken sail]

what that mean

[fast osprey]

https://docs.python.org/3/reference/lexical_analysis.html#indentation

The short answer is that indentation (the number of tabs/spaces at the beginning of a line) matter for python. Things on the same indentation level signal that a grouping of code is being maintained. By moving your two embed lines to a 0 indentation level, you're telling python that your help function is ended (which isn't what you want)

[slate swan]

!indents

[unkempt canyon]

Indentation

Indentation is leading whitespace (spaces and tabs) at the beginning of a line of code. In the case of Python, they are used to determine the grouping of statements.

Spaces should be preferred over tabs. To be clear, this is in reference to the character itself, not the keys on a keyboard. Your editor/IDE should be configured to insert spaces when the TAB key is pressed. The amount of spaces should be a multiple of 4, except optionally in the case of continuation lines.

Example

def foo():
    bar = 'baz'  # indented one level
    if bar == 'baz':
        print('ham')  # indented two levels
    return bar  # indented one level

The first line is not indented. The next two lines are indented to be inside of the function definition. They will only run when the function is called. The fourth line is indented to be inside the if statement, and will only run if the if statement evaluates to True. The fifth and last line is like the 2nd and 3rd and will always run when the function is called. It effectively closes the if statement above as no more lines can be inside the if statement below that line.

Indentation is used after:
1. Compound statements (eg. if, while, for, try, with, def, class, and their counterparts)
2. Continuation lines

More Info
1. Indentation style guide
2. Tabs or Spaces?
3. Official docs on indentation

Hey it seems like the spaces are not correct. Pls be sure that your instructions are inside the func help

why does my bot just stop working

all of the commands stopped working

doesnt even raise any error

does nothing

hey guys, I am experimenting now with UI in nextcord. You guys approve? ```py
test_button.callback = self.callback
view = nextcord.ui.View()
view.add_item(test_button) # Sending view via send method with param view=

[wanton current]

Usually, it's recommended to subclass View instead of creating, and adding items like this ^^

[open cobalt]

yeah, that is true. You mean like ```py

class TestView(nextcord.ui.View)
........

[wanton current]

Yes

[open cobalt]

do you usually make a button with the decorator inside TestView or a seperate class subclassing button?

[wanton current]

It depends, if all of your buttons do different things, I'd argue it's okay to keep them in the View subclass.

Then if you need, let's say, 5 of the same button, you can subclass Button and add 5 of the subclasses to your View

[open cobalt]

sounds great.

[mint pecan]

what place is the best to write dev commands such as sync command? a cog?

[sick birch]

yeah you can do it in a cog. but if you have commands like reloading cogs or disabling certain commands you may want to exclude those. also of course limit who can use it

and excluding it from help commands

[broken sail]

why dont this work

[sick birch]

you forgot the @, it should be @bot.command()

[broken sail]

oh

@sick birch how do i make the bot send a invite link to a channel so they click it and it opens up that channel

[sick birch]

!d discord.TextChannel.create_invite

[unkempt canyon]

discord.TextChannel.create\_invite

await create_invite(*, reason=None, max_age=0, max_uses=0, temporary=False, unique=True, target_type=None, target_user=None, target_application_id=None)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Creates an instant invite from a text or voice channel.

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

[sick birch]

assuming channel is an instance of TextChannel: invite = await channel.create_invite()

[broken sail]

do i put tha under the command text

[broken sail]

can you send the whole command so i can copy it and paste it in dont know how to import that command

[sick birch]

i dont write code for people

but i can point you towards documentation and help you understand

[broken sail]

yes

[broken sail]

plz do

[sick birch]

i did. see the above embed for the create_invite function which will generate an invite

[broken sail]

this

@sick birch

can we get in a discord call @sick birch

[sick birch]

no

[broken sail]

How do i do this

[sick birch]

which channel do you want to create an invite for, relative to ctx?

[broken sail]

@sick birch

it say channel is not defined in problems

[sick birch]

which channel do you want to create an invite for, relative to ctx?

[broken sail]

what

does that mean

[broken sail]

explain

im slow when it come to coding

[sick birch]

which channel do you want to create an invite for?

[broken sail]

do you want the link

do i send the link

or id

@sick birch

[sick birch]

no, i just want to know what the channel is. will it always be the same channel? will it be the channel the user sent the command in? something else?

[broken sail]

a text channel

i wanna send the command in any channel

so it gets them to this channel

@sick birch

[sick birch]

always to the same channel? it wont change?

[broken sail]

yes

always to the same channel

[sick birch]

okay, you can get the channel object like so

channel = bot.get_channel(CHANNEL_ID)

then you can create an invite like so

invite = await channel.create_invite()

note that invite doesn't actually return a string of the invite, but it returns a discord.Invite instance, of which you can use the url property
so altogether you could do like

channel = bot.get_channel(CHANNEL_ID)
invite = await channel.create_invite()
await ctx.send(invite.url)

[broken sail]

@sick birch

[sick birch]

first argument should be ctx

async def links(ctx):
  ...

[broken sail]

thinks youuu

thank youuu]

[spring flax]

Hope I can ask this here, do you think there’s a possibility to make some money writing code for discord bots without providing hosting for the bot? Like will people be interested generally

[slate swan]

Not really, Fiverr is an example of how it failed - people did that in the past, now it's just pointless. Especially when people realized most of these guys on Fiverr were just pasting off GitHub and cloning open source bots (especially moderation like modmail bots)

[open cobalt]

hey guys, if someone is interested on how to update a view in nextcord, because just removing it from a list doesnt actually update the view. You can use interaction.response.edit_message(....)

https://docs.nextcord.dev/en/stable/api.html#nextcord.InteractionResponse.edit_message

[open cobalt]

so guys, I want to hear your opinion. Is another ban/kick command necessary if you have discords ban/kick commands? /ban arg arg /kick arg

[fast osprey]

What does your app do?

So it doesn't really have an identity? Do you know what problem you're trying to solve?

FWIW slash commands natively let servers do that

But IMO these "multipurpose" bots which don't have a stated purpose just become a pile of random things and are hard to develop on because there really isn't a goal

"hard to develop on" meaning "what are you going to build when your bot does literally anything", not a statement of organization

And this is still natively supported by slash commands

You could ask your users what they would find useful and actually use

People on their server can go in and choose which commands they would like to appear or not

🤨

Might want to review the monetization policy if you're not using the built in app subscriptions

It is also natively supported to have premium commands

[fast osprey]

More directly: if people are paying you for bot functionality, you are required by discord to expose that through discord's monetization at the same price. And they already have a vastly simpler way of marking commands as paid.

okay...? Not sure how that changes what I said

• If people are paying you for things on your bot, you have to use discord's system to accept that money
• Discord already gives people a way of enabling or disabling commands without your bot doing that. It also gives you a way of noting a command as premium. Your bot does not have to manage any of this

Who then is deciding which servers get which commands and how

it is not up to me

I decide

Very weird line playing god deciding which servers get which functionality of your bot but you do you man

Earlier you were talking about people paying you and now it's "advanced"

weirdly specific example but sure

The initial question was around what commands you should add, and with a bot that has no real stated purpose that's a hard question to answer. It's a completely subjective question, people could throw a million ideas at you and you could use whatever criteria you wanted to determine if they were good or not.

This server is also very specifically about python and how to implement things in python, IMO you'll also get better answers in a more general discord development focused community. My advice is to talk to the people who will be using your bot to understand what they want, vs building what random people on the internet say is cool. You'll get a lot of recycled, uninspired ideas that have already been implemented by 8537439 other multipurpose bots

hey guys, if someone is interested on how to implement that a view can be modified just for the author who invoked a command, just override the method interaction_check(.......), it is in the view class

be sure to respond with param ephemeral=True because that makes the response just visible for the one who performed an interaction

I hope you guys understand, if not, please ask

guys, I wanna hear you opinion about robot making in discord, since discord has thousands of robots that have all sort commands. Is it "lucrative" or not? I mean there are so many

[fast osprey]

If you want to make money, do something else

[open cobalt]

It is a general question

No intention to make money etc

[fast osprey]

This is an extremely saturated space, where the vast vast majority of users are not spending money. You have to make something very unique and niche targeted at the few people on this platform willing to spend money.

If you want the good feeling of making something useful, there's plenty to be done but it doesn't live in any of these "multipurpose" use cases

[open cobalt]

exactly I agree

[fast osprey]

Anything living solely within discord ("moderation", "ticket", etc) has been done a thousand times over. Really the only useful stuff is integrating with other systems in useful and novel ways

[open cobalt]

have a look on a discord bot list and you see thousand of them

[fast osprey]

90% of them saw dyno or yagpdb or something of the like and just thought "I'll do that again and for some reason people will choose my bot"

[open cobalt]

There some people who make a discord bot for their one dc server which has its advantages and disadvantages

[fast osprey]

Yeah custom things, fully understand that especially if it has elevated permissions

[stark ingot]

I personally think that there is room to grow in some of the common bot features. For example I think there are probably a lot of cool things you can do with ticket bots that no one has done. The question is will the general userbase care about those cool things

[fast osprey]

Yeah any meaningful disruption should come from talking to end users and gathering patterns, which takes time and connections. Things most bot devs I see don't invest, and instead they just brainstorm or make different combinations of already existing features

[slate swan]

what steps do i need to take in order to make cooldowns like this

[shrewd apex]

u can use the cooldown decorator

https://fallendeity.github.io/discord.py-masterclass/checks/#cooldowns

https://fallendeity.github.io/discord.py-masterclass/error-handling/#full-bot-with-more-errors u also need to check if a cooldown error occurred which happens if someone uses the command while its on cooldown and u can format the message and send it

[open cobalt]

Just included gemini ai into my dc robot, how creative. omg I am now ai expert hohohohohoho

solsticeshard it was meant sarcastic

[shrewd apex]

look into application commands that gives by default such functionality

/ commands its a system discord has to allow bot commands for particular guilds/servers, perms, users etc.

[slate swan]

this is for a singular / command 😭

[shrewd apex]

the command is only visible to the people meeting those criteria which are set when defining the commands or to be more specific syncing them (informing discord who is allowed to see these commands)

[slate swan]

Server's can also manually choose which roles/people can use specific commands by using intergrations in server settings.

[shrewd apex]

thats a modal not an application command

[slate swan]

I'm aware.

This file only produces one command.

Which is a /setup command

[shrewd apex]

yeah just going through a basic explanation

[shrewd apex]

might be misleading to show that as en example picture to a beginner then 🙂

[slate swan]

Yeah.

[slate swan]

Does anyone know when discord made it so any bot could be verified just by verifying their ID?

Personally I think it's pointless as you still have to apply for privellaged intents.

[shrewd apex]

it was always the case you needed both id related to the user and special intents you apply for, also a few questions regarding user data iirc

[slate swan]

Oh never knew that, I always thought your bot got verified when you applied for privellaged intents.

[shrewd apex]

its to make sure ur 18 or legal age afaik

[slate swan]

I'm pretty sure it's 16

[shrewd apex]

u mean commands restricted to a specific set of servers?

[slate swan]

i know it's just bot user id but yeah

[shrewd apex]

@bot.tree.command()
@app_commands.guilds(discord.Object(id=1234567890), ...)
async def echo(inter: discord.Interaction, message: str):
    """
    Echoes a message

    Parameters
    ----------
    inter: discord.Interaction
        The interaction object
    message: str
        The message to echo
    """
    await interaction.response.send_message(message)

an example if u had a hardcoded guild.
Another way to have it dynamic is to do it when you are syncing you change the available guilds= params as u see above and resync all the commands i.e let discord know that the commands are updated

so its hardcoded?

shouldn't the whitelist be changing

i would imagine a database somewhere in the process as well and not a simple list object

then do you re sync all the commands everytime it changes?

cool, just make sure u don't resync too much there is a limit to that afaik i dont remember the exact numbers

i dont think updates/patches have a limit but command creation deletion have a few limits

yeah 200 creates per day, rest all updates and deletes dont have limits

[open cobalt]

do you use a relational or no relational database and which one?

ok, so relational

[shrewd apex]

stringified data lol

[open cobalt]

what is this? What do you mean by stringified data in sqlite

[shrewd apex]

sqlite dosent allow strings lists or dictionaries so u basically stringify them (json.dumps) and then deserialize them when u need it again

thats whats happening above

[open cobalt]

mhh ok I ve never used sqlite

I am only familiar with pymongo

mongodb

[shrewd apex]

almost all sql databases are like this few might have arrays like pgsql but most maps are usually stringifed

[shrewd apex]

yep so thats a document based db, non relational, altho u can like embed documents in a document

[open cobalt]

it is easy to learn I mean just "dictionaries"

but has its disadvantage

[shrewd apex]

yep both have its pros and cons

and particular use case

[open cobalt]

if you are a discord engineer which database you using to store billions of messages?

[shrewd apex]

discord started of with mongodb lol, then they switched to cassandra now finally then are using scylladb

https://discord.com/blog/how-discord-stores-trillions-of-messages

[slate swan]

What language do you not understand @shrewd apex

[shrewd apex]

tons lol, go, dart ruby haskell etc its not understanding the language thats roughly easy once you have some basic concepts down its mastering or understanding a language in depth that goes hard

[open cobalt]

I would assume that scylladb is nosql

[shrewd apex]

i would say out of most langs i have used python is the one i understand the best and use as basis to transition to other langs

[shrewd apex]

no sql, columnar afaik

[slate swan]

Yeah, do you know if DiscordRb has been updated recently?

[shrewd apex]

discord ruby?

[slate swan]

Yep.

Just looked at the github page, untouched since July 2023, but has some updates since then

[shrewd apex]

https://github.com/shardlab/discordrb says last month

[slate swan]

Yeah.

It's alright but it's just not maintained like DiscordPy or DiscordJs

[shrewd apex]

last release of artifacts or build was on 2023

[slate swan]

Yeah.

[shrewd apex]

hmm yeah the gem build also says 2023

so i think latest stuff like polls etc are prolly missing

[slate swan]

I don't think slash commands are implemented in Discord Ruby yet.

[shrewd apex]

yikes

[slate swan]

Last time I tried it that was true unsure of now tho.

[stark ingot]

It is probably so that discord has your information in the event of a legal issue

Well this server will almost always recommend python. But for discord bots you should use the language you know best.

https://libs.advaith.io/ good comparison between libs

[shrewd apex]

i would recommend python but if u need something perfomant without going into languages such c,c++,rust c# is prolly the better choice however only place i ever needed c# was when building native windows app for win10 and 11

[shrewd apex]

wow thats nifty

[fast osprey]

Eh. They've done some questionable stuff in the past

[shrewd apex]

yeah u need to perform localizations (happens before command syncing)

#1135990253069537521 message

https://fallendeity.github.io/discord.py-masterclass/slash-commands/#localization

or if u trust some google translate that works too

https://discord.com/channels/267624335836053506/1135990253069537521

its this post on today-i-teach

which does the samething but like translations need to be done manually once and recorded in pot files

https://github.com/thegamecracks/discord.py-i18n-demo

[stark ingot]

It is an open source website. How can it be questionable?

[eternal walrus]

hi

[fast osprey]

is the implication here that open source can't ever be questionable?

They would unfairly list libraries as missing features when those features weren't stable or documented

[stark ingot]

The fact that you could open a PR to fix it.

As far as I know most of the data is from 3rd party PRs and not collected by Advaith

[slate swan]

RIP.

[open cobalt]

ok guys I need help on this one. How can I edit a view when it is timeoutet. I use the given timout method to override it cand the method self.clear_items but in order to udpate the view I need to edit it but how? I am using nextcord.

[fast osprey]

Need to make the view have a reference to the message you want to edit

[open cobalt]

I thought of save the message and give it to the view in order to edit it when timeoutet

[fast osprey]

sounds right

[rose narwhal]

is there any way to track if a channel is inactive or not using discord.py?

[fast osprey]

Well depends on how you define "inactive"

[open cobalt]

hey guys, have free trial from upcloud , is it good?

organized everything on the debian server with python venv and the packages

oh and tmux

[fast osprey]

Never heard of them, though a cursory google search yields some questionable interactions. Use at your risk I guess

[open cobalt]

what you mean questionable interactions? against the users?

[fast osprey]

Yes, just run a Google search for reviews and come to your own conclusions

[open cobalt]

😠

guys, implemented gemini to my discord bot for fun. I am now a certified AI expert and can now create my own model hihihihihii

[rose narwhal]

I made a discord bot, the slash command works perfectly in my test server, but in other servers its not working, I have made it so when a user executes the command and they don't have admin perms, it will say that they don't have perms, using @app_commands.checks.has_role(), when a user without perms tries to execute the command in the other server, it works, but if they have the permission, it says that interaction didnt respond, I don't see any errors in my error log too

can someone help me with this

can it be a issue because I am using GroupCogs instead of Cogs

[fast osprey]

I recommend you don't use this check in code

slash commands have a native ui for limiting commands

[rose narwhal]

I fixed the issue

and I hate discord for this

discord should make it so it returns the url for the server icon which is created by default

that was the main issue, and for some reason, it wasn't showing the errors

[rose narwhal]

can you explain a bit more on this please

[fast osprey]

guilds settings -> integrations

you can limit commands per role

[slate swan]

how to create a command from a existing emote or url
eg:
emote create :kaze:
emote create kaze
emote create https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/637715282995183636.png

no need to spoonfeed me just tell how to go about making it

[fast osprey]

what are you having trouble with, which part?

[slate swan]

making it

previous attempts the url part didn’t work

[fast osprey]

Gonna have to be more specific than that

what is the code you have, and what in it isn't working?

[hot gorge]

I tried adding my bot to my server and it said this

[fast osprey]

What url are you hitting? Where are you getting it from?

[hot gorge]

https://discordapi.com/permissions.html ? so i used this website to generate authencation invite links for the bot, so that im able to add the bot to my server and give it the required permissions it needs to operate in my discord server, i did that on this website, and i use the link thats generated from the site but after i add it to my discord server it gives me the "missing redirect uri in request" @fast osprey @uneven ravine

[shell adder]

dont use that

go to the applications portal and press installation

and turn on guild instal turn off user install and do it like this

and copy the link i scratched out

[sleek cedar]

Is there a way to make a slash command prefilled by a link?

[hot gorge]

bro i did that and it stil aint working please help @shell adder

[slate swan]

made it work somehow isk

but hey is there a way i can have attachment option as well as url option is the slash version of my hybrid commands

[fast osprey]

sure yeah

[slate swan]

where

how

[fast osprey]

I mean make two parameters, one a string and one an attachment?

[shell adder]

then i have no clue what to tell you because ive never had an issue like that before

did you make it a bot user yet?

[hot gorge]

what do you mean?

[hot gorge]

does user install need to be off overall?

[shell adder]

go thwre

and fill out the forms

[honest quest]

this is a stupid question I feel, when making my own custom discord bot. I copy the token from the Dev Portal and import it into my VSC Code. Eachtime I run the code - it returns this error
discord.errors.LoginFailure: Improper token has been passed.

I have reset the token multiple times to try it, can anyone advise what im doing wrong?

[midnight oracle]

Are you passing the token as an str using: "this?"

When coping the token, are you double clicking the text? If so, don't xd, it may not be copying the end of the token

[honest quest]

I found the issue, I double click copied and it added a space to the end - got it now thank you though ❤️

[midnight oracle]

Oh, good luck then! :D

[hot gorge]

i did that and its showing me this

does anyone else know the fix

im trying to add my own bot but its not letting me

[fast osprey]

How are you getting this url

[shell adder]

@hot gorge turn off requires oauth2

then reinvite it

[hot gorge]

I just told you. From the discord authentication developer portal they generate a link for authentication

[fast osprey]

Can you show that along with the other settings you have there?

[shell adder]

then go to oauth and enabled bot and applications commands scope and give the administrator perms and then copy the link it gives you and open it in your browser

[fast osprey]

Anyways, you probably have this setting turned on, which you don't want if you're not using oauth and just want a simple bot.

(You also should never give bots admin, never, there's no reason to need it and several reasons to not grant it)

[slate swan]

People just do that because its time consuming to actually give every perm to it

[merry magnet]

@merry cliff https://discord.com/channels/267624335836053506/1312643681198800976 still dont do any thing. though i did notice i type clans instead of clan. but sadly . it still didnt work once i typed it correctly

[merry cliff]

did you save and restart the bot?

[severe spire]

Hello, do you can share your idea about discord bot - what he can do. I am admin of one of Anime translator site, but i dont have idea what new idea can implmenet in bot to create my channel more interesting.

Any idea is good idea if you share with me 🙂

[fast osprey]

As a personal opinion, this server is focused on implementation, not idea generation. You will get far better ideas from communities focused on the thing your bot caters to

[severe spire]

I don't know how socially engaged you are. But people these days:

1. They don't share ideas
2. They don't know what a "bot" can do. And as we know, it can do a lot.
3. I'm looking for ideas from people who have an open mind and they're usually programmers.

Nevertheless. Thank you for your opinion. I'm writing here because the main problem is probably point 1 on typical forums/ chats.

[fast osprey]

I'm pretty "socially engaged". It was friendly advice that this community wasn't designed for what you're asking and that you'd get better more grounded answers in one that is.

[shrewd apex]

catch phrases, gifs, meme generation from certain anime scenes and cuts?

depends on your audience of your server too

[merry magnet]

Yep

[merry magnet]

Since your in to anime what abot a bot that's pulls info off of fandom. Or bot that does quotes of your fav animes characters.

I mean my bot is simple real. It's going to have info of vtm like clans discipline marits and flaws loresheet. Problem simple just time consuming. Just need it to be able to read them print out the info what I will be putting in strings. Once that then I'll worry about have it pop up in the type bar with different things.

[fast osprey]

What's your code now? Are you trying to make native / commands?

it works with the help of an api, gosh I love apis

Looks fine, I don't really have opinions on ux

[open cobalt]

Thanks, but there is one problem and it is my freeplan for apis. All have a limit, but nothing is free in thsi world

[fast osprey]

That's to be expected, running the machines that power that api costs money and it's unlikely someone will pay out of their pocket just for the joy of doing so

[open cobalt]

😭

[timber dragon]

This could be better; things like the temperature can be in one combined field, and maybe the other stuff in the description

And maybe add some matching emojis for the conditions

ok, thanks for your feedback. Love it!

[plush thistle]

i want to make music bot

but i am not able to make

[slate swan]

unfortunate, where are you stuck

note that we won't code for you, we help you with your code

also note that an advanced knowledge of python is required before making a bot, even a simple bot

also note that streaming music from youtube/spotify/whatever else is against their tos hence against discord's tos, and will get your discord account terminated/banned - so we won't help for such music bots

[honest quest]

anyone any good with discord bots. I coded a bot that has some simple slash commands but when running the command bot.py - it just gets stuck after it initiates the static token. I have got it to track when the bot is ready and logged on but just wont enable

[fast osprey]

Code?

[honest quest]

sorry for the wait to reply. I got it fixed - seems when i was running the code, it wasnt registering my slash commands so i had to update and refresh connection points

[fast osprey]

If you're syncing slash commands during startup, you probably shouldn't be

[honest quest]

is it recommended to not do the auto-sync?

I normally just hvae to resync my bot eachtime I add a new function/feature onto it

[fast osprey]

You only need to sync if you're adding or removing entire commands, or changing their signature. Which isn't every time your bot starts. This endpoint is also aggressively rate limited so there are real consequences for repeatedly syncing when you don't need to

[teal delta]

Speaking of which, for my sync command, does it have to be an app command or prefix command?

[dusty niche]

Anyone here professional devloper who's now about Netflix and python language want to one bot

[teal delta]

What?

[dusty niche]

@teal delta dm

[fast osprey]

prefix is preferred

[honest quest]

so i have added a resync command but like lets say I add a new command/function to the bot, will I need to manually restart the bot via terminal and then rerun it?

[slate swan]

i just installed it and double checked by installing it again whys it say this

[orchid swallow]

pip uninstall discord
pip install discord

[fiery girder]

Make sure u select the right interpreter for python
Then restart vscode

[still wigeon]

May there be a way of dynamicaly add app_commands? Lets say the main bot loads "plugins" and these plugins just points the stuff to do by hooks, so far all events were easy to implement with importlib but now getting into app_commands may be hard to because they have to be declared in the scripts as is and i cant think on a method for loading them via a function, if want to see the old project is in github Mikk155/discord-bot

[timber dragon]

Yeah not possible with dpy's app commands

[fast osprey]

Don't see why it wouldn't be possible, but it wouldn't really make much sense too. App commands are meant to be discrete sets of logic, you really shouldn't make X commands that all do mostly the same thing

[timber dragon]

Dpy checks the function signature for parameters, etc.

While you can fake it by setting the signature yourself for one function for every command, that is just far too much effort.

Something I just thought of: since app commands only need to be registered on Discord, you can register them manually using the HTTP methods and catch them when invoked via the on_interaction event, parse it out, and do your thing.

[shrewd apex]

sounds like on_message but for app commands 💀

[fast osprey]

Yeah I read over the repo and this really looks like an anti pattern. I can't see anything that this layer of abstraction gives you, and it makes the code actively less readable. There's no reason these "plugins" couldn't just be extensions with proper library code

[stark ingot]

Stop helping someone who is trying to make a self bot.

[stark ingot]

Also this is wrong. They need to reinstall whatever library they are using after uninstalling all other discord libraries. "Discord" is not the correct thing to install

[left wing]

where does one find clients who want a discord bot made for them

[slate swan]

Fiverr and Upwork

[left wing]

oversaturated I've heard

can a newb still make it in those markets

[slate swan]

Discord bots overall are dead, so will overall be hard to find clients - regardless of the platform - though if you do make yourself a good profile, maybe you will get a few requests

[slate swan]

how to make a command that does this? put my avatar in a toaster gif like this? im stuckk

[fast osprey]

What are you stuck on specifically

[slate swan]

knowing what to use

[fast osprey]

To do what?

[slate swan]

generate the given image in a toaster like the first image….

[fast osprey]

So that's more of a question around image generation, not discord no?

I know most folks use PIL/pillow for this, though maybe #media-processing is a better shot

[sudden lichen]

What is your python version?

Bc latest version is not optimised for discord.py, you need 1.11 or 1.10 for it

[slate swan]

python 1.x??????

[sudden lichen]

Srry mb

3.11 or 3.10

[slate swan]

3.12 is fine

[sudden lichen]

Yea but best optimised are this two

[slate swan]

any up to 3.12 inclusive

just 3.13 isn't, though that will only fail when executing, it won't show errors in your ide, they either haven't installed it at all or they have multiple versions installed

[sudden lichen]

Yea that's true

I told that in another way

Lol

[merry magnet]

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Embed.add\_field

add_field(*, name, value, inline=True)```
Adds a field to the embed object.

What i thought

[rapid python]

Do anyone know how can I host my bot for free?

Discord bot

Tb specific

[slate swan]

You can't

VPS are computing resources which is paid obviously

Closest you can get is buy a Raspberry Pi or similar and host it at home, though there are still electricity costs to keep in mind

[fast osprey]

!hosting

[unkempt canyon]

Discord Bot Hosting

Using free hosting options like repl.it or Heroku for continuous 24/7 bot hosting is strongly discouraged.
Instead, opt for a virtual private server (VPS) or use your own spare hardware if you'd rather not pay for hosting.

See our Discord Bot Hosting Guide on our website that compares many hosting providers, both free and paid.

You may also use #965291480992321536 to discuss different discord bot hosting options.

[orchid swallow]

.pie

.hello

.hel

[slate swan]

use #bot-commands for random commands

[open cobalt]

guys please stay away from free hosting. They can, I assume, steal the bot token perhaps

[slate swan]

just like paid hosting can

if they do however, their reputation is ruined - paid or free doesn't matter

[slate swan]

There are some free hosting I would 100% trust. GCP, AWS, Azure, etc... They make BILLIONS and use their free tier to suck you in to paying millions a month for their services. They would never risk anything for some dumb tokens.

[timber dragon]

Free "discord bot" hosts are usually ran by skids that'll pull the plug when they can't afford it anymore
They can see all your files; large companies like above can and will not

[slate swan]

Ugg. I really should write up some terraform and scripts/docs to start a AWS account and setup everything for free tier lambda/ECS/EC2 for simple hosting.

[open cobalt]

uff

[slate swan]

??

[open cobalt]

is this true? never used aws or that

[slate swan]

Yes. I use AWS for work and personal. The issue is AWS is hard to get started with. That is why fly.io and vercel got started. They are (more or less) just a new UI on top of AWS, with a 2x price increase.

[timber dragon]

Til

[shrewd apex]

not just that right vercel for example has a lot more pipelines and other infra cdns, serverless fns, and optimizations setup for their own frameworks such as next.js its far from as simple as just a ui around aws

[slate swan]

For sure. But they don’t host their own hardware (as far as I know) they resell AWS

[shrewd apex]

yeah true

[slate swan]

At this point I’m starting to lean towards more basic services like hetzner. Just pay $5 per month for a VM and set up a basic sync with GitHub actions to deploy. Much cheaper for simple things that won’t fit into free tiers, and pretty easy.

[shrewd apex]

yeah hetzner is good their arm services are pretty affordable

[broken sail]

help

[feral carbon]

@broken sail the embed and await lines should be one space to the right

If you copy the code and paste it here I will fix it for you

[slate swan]

!indent

[unkempt canyon]

Indentation

Indentation is leading whitespace (spaces and tabs) at the beginning of a line of code. In the case of Python, they are used to determine the grouping of statements.

Spaces should be preferred over tabs. To be clear, this is in reference to the character itself, not the keys on a keyboard. Your editor/IDE should be configured to insert spaces when the TAB key is pressed. The amount of spaces should be a multiple of 4, except optionally in the case of continuation lines.

Example

def foo():
    bar = 'baz'  # indented one level
    if bar == 'baz':
        print('ham')  # indented two levels
    return bar  # indented one level

The first line is not indented. The next two lines are indented to be inside of the function definition. They will only run when the function is called. The fourth line is indented to be inside the if statement, and will only run if the if statement evaluates to True. The fifth and last line is like the 2nd and 3rd and will always run when the function is called. It effectively closes the if statement above as no more lines can be inside the if statement below that line.

Indentation is used after:
1. Compound statements (eg. if, while, for, try, with, def, class, and their counterparts)
2. Continuation lines

    await ctx.send(embed = embed)

bot.run(***********)```

[broken sail]

@feral carbon it dont let me @ no one

and show theyre avatar

[feral carbon]

What do you mean?

[stark ingot]

Discord.member should have a capital M in member

[slate swan]

discord.member != discord.Member

[feral carbon]

yup

my bad

[broken sail]

still dont work

[feral carbon]

What error do you get?

[broken sail]

made it a cap

[fast osprey]

Not all people have avatars

[broken sail]

oh so they have to have a avatar

not just a default one

[fast osprey]

the default one isn't one

[slate swan]

!d discord.Member.avatar

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.avatar

property avatar```
Equivalent to [`User.avatar`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.User.avatar)

[slate swan]

If the user has not uploaded a global avatar, None is returned. If you want the avatar that a user has displayed, consider display_avatar

[feral carbon]

You can add a try / except clause so that if you raise that exception you do a different embed without the image

[fast osprey]

See also

!d discord.Member.display_avatar

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.display\_avatar

property display_avatar```
Returns the member’s display avatar.

For regular members this is just their avatar, but if they have a guild specific avatar then that is returned instead.

New in version 2\.0\.

[broken sail]

where do i put that into the code

[young dagger]

You want to use discord.Member.display_avatar

[broken sail]

this

[fast osprey]

look at where the error is telling you the problem is

[broken sail]

someone fix the code

[fast osprey]

That someone is you

this is your code

[young dagger]

What do you exactly want to do?

[broken sail]

make it so it send av and the av i @

like this

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ffH1Kl6jupI&ab_channel=TheoSassano

[young dagger]

Wait what is wrong with the existing code?

[fast osprey]

Don't copy paste code you don't understand. Especially not from a youtube video

[young dagger]

Are you trying to fetch a user or Discord member?

[broken sail]

yes

theyre av

[slate swan]

It's a choice question, not a yes or no

[broken sail]

can yall join vc 1

[young dagger]

Do you want to grab an avatar from a guild member or any user?

[broken sail]

user from my server

@young dagger can we get into a vc

[young dagger]

Sorry I can't atm

[young dagger]

You can use embed.set_image(url=member.display_avatar.url) for that

[timber dragon]

- member.avatar.url
+ member.display_avatar.url

Man spoonfeeding code isn't gonna help them
They'll just comeback for more, as they did for the error above

[broken sail]

where i set that in the code

[timber dragon]

Read your code

[broken sail]

where i replace it

[young dagger]

After creating the embed

[young dagger]

You need to define the embed first

embed = discord.Embed

        # Create an embed
        embed = discord.Embed(title=f"{member}'s Avatar", color=discord.Color.blue())

        # Set the avatar image
        embed.set_image(url=member.display_avatar.url)

        # Send the embed
        await ctx.send(embed=embed)

So we first create the embed, then set the avatar image and send the embed

member will grab the display_avatar.url from the member

From

async def av(ctx, member: discord.Member = None):

Which in this case is a discord.Member

I hope this will help you a little bit

Also you can use member = member or ctx.author

[raven bolt]

i am Going to Shit myself

how do i get my bot's commands to work in dms using the nextcord library

cause regular old slash comms don't work for me

no errors or logs to provide

code just looks like

yada yada imports

yada yada make bot we have all the intents

@bot.slash_command(yada metadata)
async def command(yada yada: nextcord.Interaction):
    await yada.reply("hello!")

bot.run("No.")

[glad cradle]

https://docs.nextcord.dev/en/stable/ext/commands/api.html#nextcord.ext.commands.Bot.slash_command
try by doing @bot.slash_command(dm_permission=True)

[timber dragon]

Or even better:

member: discord.Member = commands.Author

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/api.html#discord.discord.ext.commands.Author

Definitely not possible

That bot probably sends the ip as a separate message for mobile users to easily copy idk

[winged bridge]

thx

[hasty pike]

Solution:
You didn't define the embed in your code this is how you do it and it is must

embed = discord.Embed() #this is must everytime you want to use embed
embed.set_image(url=member.avatar)

Suggestion:
2 better ways to replace member with author

member = member or ctx.author 
# if member is None it will automatically take author 

async def av(ctx, member: discord.Member = commands.Author)

Example:

@bot.command(name="avatar", aliases=["av", "pfp"])
async def _avatar(ctx: commands.Context, member: discord.Member = commands.Author):
    embed = discord.Embed(description=f"{member}'s avatar")
    embed.set_image(url=member.avatar)
    await ctx.send(embed=embed)

[slate swan]

how can i make the bot status the mobile icon

[fast osprey]

This is not supported by discord

[slate swan]

nah it is

i saw some bots doing it

[fast osprey]

People doing it does not mean it's supported

it's an exploit and discord does not want you doing it

[open cobalt]

do you guys have in all of your commands a try-except for error handling to get a indiviudal error for each command? When you have for example a command that connects to an api via reuqests? How would you guys handle the error?

[fast osprey]

Depends on how you want to handle it and on what layer. Also you should never be using the requests library in an async application.

[open cobalt]

which then aiohttp I guess

[open cobalt]

you mean requests can be "blocking" since nextcord works async?

[fast osprey]

Yes precisely

[open cobalt]

mhh makes sense never thought of that

[raven bolt]

Yeah if you implement anything blocking at all your whole bot locks up 💀💀

Learnt this the hard way

[cold flicker]

is there a way i can show my site the bot status like "online" offline and stuff?
like a site page which says "bot it online" "bot is offline".

i want to use it to visualize the status of multiple bots at once... in my website

[fast osprey]

Sure. You could have some mechanism actually check the status of the bot users on discord. Or your mechanism could poll status from the bot processes themselves. Your call

[dapper cobalt]

You could use a discord api wrapper that's appropriate with the language you're using to login with each bot's token and get its status
Or - do almost the same thing but create a bot that's used just to fetch the user data of the bots in a single server instead of logging in with 3 different bots which would be almost impossible / resources consuming / get you ratelimited for repeated login calls on the same IP address

[vapid parcel]

Does discord go off a set of rules for approving intents?

or does it depend on the person who is looking at your request?

Cuz atp, I have put in legit reasons, and they have been declined by many, and I truly don't know why... and back then, maybe 8 months ago, these same features would have been approved and they were allowed to go through intents.

But now they are either more strict on it, or it depends on the agent who reviews it..?

[fast osprey]

You may be operating under a different definition of "legit"

[cold flicker]

Ill go with the second option,thank you!

[stark ingot]

They state that the approve intents on a case by case basis but there are some things that will get you automatically denied. For example wanting the message content intent for prefix commands.
Of of the things they say is that they are only approving intents for unique features. So if there are a bunch of bots that have the feature already they may be less likely to approve the intent

[fast osprey]

with the expansion of AutoMod there is basically no legitimate need for message content. The members intent is a bit less sensitive but honestly requires a pretty novel use case to justify it

[teal delta]

I actually disabled the message content intent for my verified app

I hope I made the right decision

I'm not sure if I'll even need the presence intent too

[raven bolt]

i hope this works

i'm waiting on itto register

[tulip sand]

WARNING discord.gateway Shard ID None heartbeat blocked for more than 10 seconds.

what exactly is this ?

[fast osprey]

You have blocking synchronous code that is prevention the bot from staying connected

[tulip sand]

how could i synchronize them ?

[fast osprey]

You don't. You use asynchronous code instead of whatever you have that's blocking.

These libraries are build on top of asyncio, and if you're unfamiliar it would be good to do some focused learning.

https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio.html

[tulip sand]

👍

[tulip sand]

im trying to use the twitter api to send tweets when a certain handle sends tweets however for the past 2 hours ive been getting these errors

Logged in as Yapper#2702
Error: 429 Too Many Requests
Too Many Requests

😭

[stark ingot]

Can you send the full traceback?
Also isnt the twitter API very expensive? Nvm there is a free tier that fits your needs

[fast osprey]

Your error should come with a traceback, otherwise you have no idea where it's happening

[vapid parcel]

Idk, maybe I am. I am just wanting to understand discords standards maybe..?

I understand the standards on my end.

Nothing stupid, no reasons for like fetching info status or something

I know there is a limit from stupid and a good reason for needing it. But idk how they decide ig.

[vapid parcel]

Oh, thats an exploit?? I thought it was allowed.. I have seen verified bots do many times. I also have seen it in dpy too. So I thought it was allowed.

Just curious, why is that not allowed by discord? Why is discord against it?

[vapid parcel]

and, do you think discord would ever allow you to use the mobile status? or are they just fully against it right now?

[fast osprey]

Why would you need it anyways. It doesn't convey meaningful or even vaguely correct information

People just do it to feel special, not for any functional purpose

https://discord.com/developers/docs/events/gateway-events#update-presence-status-types

[sick birch]

they have no reason to

^ yeah the mobile status is pretty much useless

[vapid parcel]

Valid reason ig. I personally think it's cool. That's the only reason. But there is no true reason to release it.

[vapid parcel]

Nah, I know that, it's just to look cool i would assume. It's nothing special though. It's just the mobile icon.. I kinda think it looks goofy for bots lol.

[fast osprey]

To answer this, most people come into this thinking they deserve these intents/data. Discord takes the opposite approach, that you never get it unless you prove absolutely that there's no way to do what your bot is stated to do without them. "I need message content so users can run commands" doesn't fit this need because slash commands exist. Same with AutoMod. It is on the developer to prove that a) what they're trying to do is novel and cannot be done with the systems in place currently and b) they need the particular intent to do it

[quick gust]

they declined my members intents request even though I needed to add a "server specific" filter for some of my commands, like showing a list of book reviews from only the server members :/
I don't think there's any other way to do it without having members intent.

[fast osprey]

You don't need to know all members in a server to produce that. You can record the people in that server who choose to interact with your bot

You have no need to track people who do not choose to interact with your bot

[quick gust]

okay but how do I go about doing that for the 50+ reviews that the people have already listed?

[quick gust]

thanks though, I'll keep that in mind

[fast osprey]

You don't . Modify your data model and start tracking it going forward I guess

Or have some migration story asking users to reverify once you have that in place

[quick gust]

mm alright thanks

[tulip sand]

yep thats whats what im using

[tulip sand]

i sadly dont get a traceback which is another problem

[fast osprey]

Your app is eating it then

[tulip sand]

i will try to submit the code today

[fast osprey]

Which is the first thing to fix

[tulip sand]

it gives the too many requests error as soon as i run the code which from my understanding i failed to limit it

[fast osprey]

Not necessarily

But until you get a traceback you're just guessing

[vapid parcel]

Alr, ty

[open cobalt]

hey guys, I have a small joke command and since nextcord is async I am using aiohttp with it. I have been reading the docs for hours and implemented this now: Is this kinda ok or what can I change?```py
async with self.session as session:
async with session.get(".......", headers={"xxxxxxxx": "xxxxxxxxx"}) as resp:
status_code = resp.status
result = await resp.json()

using context manager to properly close the sessions

[slate swan]

pretty much what the faq tells you to use

so nothing to change

[open cobalt]

ok perfect

[wheat summit]

Please help me, I got no clue of why the Slash Command isn't showing up. ```py
import discord
from discord.ext import commands

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

@bot.command()
async def repeat(ctx, message: str):
await ctx.send(f'{message}')

@bot.tree.command(name="hello", description="Sends a message!")
async def hello(ctx, message: str, channel: discord.TextChannel):
await channel.send(f'Here is your message: {message}')
await ctx.respond(f'Message was sent successfully!')

@bot.event
async def on_ready():

print("Logged in!")

with open("token.txt") as file:
token = file.read()

bot.run(token)```

[karmic trellis]

if it works it works lol

[fast osprey]

Which library are you using?

[wheat summit]

Discord.py, why?

[fast osprey]

dpy requires you to sync your commands to discord. It doesn't do that for you

[wheat summit]

How to do that?

[karmic trellis]

wild guess is it because of your ">>" is your prefix?

[fast osprey]

call .sync() on your command tree. preferably in some process you initiate manually, not automatically

[wheat summit]

I don't really think so...

[fast osprey]

(such as a gated prefix command)

[wheat summit]

Alright, thanks!

[fast osprey]

This is a good walkthrough: https://about.abstractumbra.dev/discord.py/2023/01/30/app-command-basics.html

[open cobalt]

mhh that is not how things work, what about efficiency etc?

you can write code that work but it is not efficient and is hard to read. That is why reviewing code is essential

especially for a company that has to serve customer with flexible and efficient service

[sick birch]

it's common to abstract API calls behind methods so it's easier to read from caller functions

[wheat summit]

Got a little bit confused, where should I type that out?

[wheat summit]

Why does my command keep saying this when it works? Here is the command:

import discord
from discord.ext import commands

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


@bot.command()
async def repeat(ctx, message: str):
    await ctx.send(f'{message}')

@bot.tree.command(name="hello", description="Sends a message!")
async def hello(ctx, message: str, channel: discord.TextChannel):
    await channel.send(f'Here is your message: {message}')

@bot.command()
async def sync(ctx):
    print("Sync Command.")
    if ctx.author.id == 1109142957866619013:
        await bot.tree.sync()
        await ctx.send('Comand Tree sycned!')
    else:
        await ctx.send('You must be the owner to run this command!')
@bot.event
async def on_ready():

    print("Logged in!")


with open("token.txt") as file:
    token = file.read()

bot.run(token)```

Anyone?

[fast osprey]

You need to respond to the interaction

All interactions must have one and exactly one response within 3 seconds of the interaction happening. This is via await interaction.response.x(...) where x is the type of response you want (ex send_message)

[wintry moon]

yo

can some1 help me in this every time i run this it doesnt work at all 😭..

import discord

class Client(discord.client):
async def on_ready(self):
print(f'Logged on as {self.user}!')

intents = discord.intents.default()
intents.message_contepythonue

Client = Client(intents=intents)
Client.run('')

i made it same as i saw in video now idk

every time i try run the bot it says file 'file name ' line 3 in <module>

[wheat summit]

I tried that but it says that interaction is undefined.

[fast osprey]

Because you're naming your interaction parameter "ctx"

[wheat summit]

Oh.

[fast osprey]

Slash commands don't get a context so this naming is misleading

[wheat summit]

Oh I didn't know that, thanks!

[fast osprey]

intents.message_contepythonue

[wheat summit]

Yep everything works, also, how do I specify a guild? And how to make my bot reply to the slash command? (Or to a normal command).

[fast osprey]

Specify what guild in what context?

[wheat summit]

In the slash command.

[fast osprey]

For what purpose

[wheat summit]

So that I can put the member option.

[fast osprey]

You can just add a parameter and typehint it with Member if you want the user to provide a member when running the command

(And then sync again after restarting)

[wheat summit]

Alright.

[wheat summit]

And how to make my bot reply to the slash command? (Or just to a message).

[fast osprey]

^

Unless you mean something else by reply

[wheat summit]

I mean like that the bot replies to a message.

[fast osprey]

Slash commands don't reply to messages though

You can call the raw api to reply to a message if you want, which works like any other component that would reply to a message. That doesn't change that you also have to respond to the interaction itself though

[wheat summit]

Alright, thanks!

[young dagger]

Is there any way to detect forwarded messages from other guilds?

[young dagger]

What is the different between discord.MessageReferenceType.forward and discord.MessageFlags.forwarded?

[tulip sand]

hey so im making a discord bot using the coingecko api where it pulls a certain coins current_price and the trading volume however when i type the command it sadly doesnt respond with anything could someone tell me what im doing wrong?

import requests
import json

TOKEN = (not for you)

intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.messages = True
client = discord.Client(intents=intents)

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

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

    if message.content.startswith('$crypto'):
        # Call the CoinGecko API
        coin = message.content.split(' ')[1]  # Assumes the name of the coin is the second word in the command
        response = requests.get(f'https://api.coingecko.com/api/v3/coins/{coin}')
        data = json.loads(response.text)

        # Extract the information you need from the data
        current_price = data['market_data']['current_price']['usd']  # Get current price in USD
        trading_volume = data['market_data']['total_volume']['usd']  # Get total trading volume in USD

        await message.channel.send(f'Current price: ${current_price}\nTrading volume: ${trading_volume}')

client.run(TOKEN)```

[slate swan]

One is a flag, the other one is the type of reference

[fast osprey]

Firstly that you should not be usings the requests module in an asyncio application. You are going to block your entire bot (including heartbeats) while you wait for that api to reply. Use aiohttp instead

Secondly, you are relying on message content without requesting the message_content intent

[stark ingot]

^
messages != message_content

[young dagger]

That much I understand, but how can they be used in examples?

[slate swan]

With the flag you know if it's been forwarded, with the reference type you know the type of reference

If you need to know if the reference type is a forwarded message, you have it

If you need to know if the message is a forwarded message, you can check the forwarded flag.

The reference is optional, hence checking for reference.type to know if the message is a forwarded message is not ideal, that's why flags exist

[young dagger]

Gotcha. Do you know if it would be possible to check if the message was forwarded from another guild?

[slate swan]

That's in the discord.Message.reference - reference.guild_id to be precise

[tulip sand]

works now thank you

[slate swan]

And you're not using the commands extension

[young dagger]

Something like this?

@bot.event
async def on_message(message):
    if message.reference.guild_id != message.guild.id:
        await message.delete()

[craggy anvil]

how did this guy make such spaces between first 4

these are not fields because spaces between fields are much smaller

[stark ingot]

Is it just spaces or tabs?

[craggy anvil]

idk

the thing is i tried doing spaces in visual studio

and it doesnt space up in discord

[stark ingot]

I recommend not trying to imitate it. On smaller screens such as phones it will look terrible.
I think it is better to just use fields

[craggy anvil]

but these are not fields

i wont use fields bc they look horrible

[stark ingot]

When you look at that message on mobile I think it will look like

Most popular
best deal
line under most popular
line under best deal

You can copy the top line you showed in the screenshot in the embed and see what charecters it is.

[polar thistle]

i want to use slash command in dms

[fast osprey]

go for it

[polar thistle]

can you give me a example code

[fast osprey]

slash commands by default work in dms

if they're declared as global

or do you mean in dms with other people?

[fast osprey]

?

[stark ingot]

what library are you using?

[polar thistle]

nextcord

[stark ingot]

https://github.com/nextcord/nextcord/blob/master/examples/application_commands/user_installed_command.py
You need the bot to be a user installed app to do that. Here is an example of the code. Note the integration_types and contexts arguments to the command decorator.

[raven bolt]

It’s this again

I also have this issue, nothing I tried worked

[raven bolt]

Oh yoink

Ping me if this implementation works

I’m gonna try tomorrow

[stark ingot]

You have to install (aka add) the app to your user as well.

can i disable timeout like that?

[timber dragon]

Sure

Make sure to correct the variable name tho

But, you may not want to disable the timeout, since you cannot check whether the user has canceled the modal; thus, it will stay in memory until you stop it.

Oh that was from 6 hours ago lmao

@craggy anvil ^ if you still need it

[craggy anvil]

Ye i dont and u cant remove timeout like that i guess anyways i was focusing on different timeout since i was really tired. I wanted to disable button timeou

[frank osprey]

hey folks, im using pycord cause slash commands but i have heard you can write slash commands with discord.py again ? just wondering if it worth the change over ?

[fast osprey]

Up to you which library you like more

[frank osprey]

oh well im used to pycord so im guessing best just to continue with it then

[scarlet tiger]

It's the same but with different implementation, but in my opinion creating application commands is easier in py-cord

pycord does not use tree.commands, it directly uses a decorator called slash_command

[frank osprey]

yeah its a bit easier, *even when i started and got confused between tree and slash *

[fast osprey]

For what it's worth, app commands is the actual terminology used by discord in their api docs. Context menus are also included in that command tree

[raven bolt]

how it feels to attempt to run this code on my (supposedly latest) version of next code and it doesn't have integration_types

Br these fucking symbols don't exist at all

this code is a Lie 💀

this whole code snippet is a lie

nextcord have played us for fools

[stark ingot]

looks like it is only on master branch right now
Nextcord 2.6.1 was released last year and the user app stuff was only added 3 months ago

[raven bolt]

mine is 2.6.0 and won't update lmfao

[stark ingot]

how are you installing it?

[raven bolt]

with pip

according to the github's installation tutorial

is there a specific branch i have to point to?

slash can i install the library from github lmfao

[stark ingot]

what command are you using?

[raven bolt]

py -3.9 -m pip install nextcord

[stark ingot]

pip install -U git+https://github.com/nextcord/nextcord will give you the master branch (sometimes called the development branch)

[timber dragon]

The master branch currently has breaking changes since it's a major version update (2 > 3)

        lsclans_embed=discord.Embed(title="clans",description="Banu Haqim Brujah Gangrel Hecata Lasombra Malkavian The Ministry Nosferatu Ravnos Salubri Toreador Tremere Tzimisce Ventrue .\n \n Clanless \n\n Caitiff  Thin-blood ",color=discord.Color.blue())
        await ctx.send(embed=lsclans_embed)
    else:
        await ctx.send(arg)```

I even tried change in to

If arg== "('ls',)":

And it didn't fix it and ideals

figured it out
async def clan(ctx,arg:str):

[fast osprey]

You also should never give bots admin, never, ...

I do enable admin perms...

[sterile inlet]

if "ls" in arg because *arg is tuple

do list is good more
arg = list(arg)

[stark ingot]

In this case there is not much reason to change the tuple to a list. Ideally you should not be modifying the args so a tuple is fine.
Also while you are correct in your answer I think the solution they found themselves is a better one as it does not look like they know what *args means and were probably only want 1 argument.

[frail coyote]

if you guys were starting over learning discord bots where would u start any websites or videos would be great

[fast osprey]

The official docs for whatever library you choose and that's it

[frail coyote]

so something like this

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

that’s what i’ve been using so far

just trying to understand allat

[fast osprey]

yup

[hoary shore]

Hi

[sharp oxide]

hey i dont know much about coding

i was given a src to a bot that i want in my server but when i run the bot it gives me this code.

i can send the src if it will help.

[shadow vigil]

yea always do that when sending errors

[quasi bramble]

hey does anyone have achess bot

[sharp oxide]

ye i just need to figure out how to fix this

[shadow vigil]

can I ask why would you chose a chess bot over the chess activity?

[quasi bramble]

because im too lazy to get good

[shadow vigil]

I have no idea how skill is related to the interface of chess

[quasi bramble]

huh

i just asked for a chess bot

[sharp oxide]

Can anyone help me run figure out whats wrong with this discord bot?

[fast osprey]

Any particular reason why the person who wrote it can't fix it? Depending on your skill level, its going to be hard for you to understand and maintain this

[timber dragon]

I assume self is missing from the function
Idk how pycord processes it

Also "check stocks of nitro tokens .." sounds very sus and not like a chess bot lmao

[fast osprey]

two different people, but yeah storing tokens is definitely sus

[timber dragon]

oh whoops

[severe sonnet]

guys, how do i retrieve contents from coded embed

like, an embed that you created back before?

i wanna retrieve content from the description

[stark ingot]

Message.embeds will have a list of embeds

you can then use the attributes of embeds to get the correct fields

[fast osprey]

If you're trying to use logic based off a message, you're probably vastly better off putting this in a database rather than trying to scrape it off a message

[merry magnet]

what is my typo? cuz all but all is working so it has to be a typo

            thin_blood_all_embed=discord.Embed(title="thin_blood",description=thin_blood_Info+"\n \n"+thin_blood_Disciplines+"\n \n" +thin_blood_Bane+"\n \n"+thin_blood_Compulsion,color=discord.Color.blue())
            await ctx.send(embed=thin_blood_all_embed)
        
        elif (arg2=="info")or(arg2=="i"):
            thin_blood_embed=discord.Embed(title="thin_blood",description=thin_blood_Info,color=discord.Color.blue())
            await ctx.send(embed=thin_blood_embed)
        
        elif (arg2=="disciplines") or(arg2=="d"):
            thin_blood_Disciplines_embed=discord.Embed(title="thin_blood Disciplines",description=thin_blood_Disciplines,color=discord.Color.blue())
            await ctx.send(embed=thin_blood_Disciplines_embed)
        elif (arg2=="bane") or(arg2=="b"):
            thin_blood_Bane_embed=discord.Embed(title="thin_blood Bane",description=thin_blood_Bane,color=discord.Color.blue())
            await ctx.send(embed=thin_blood_Bane_embed)
        elif (arg2=="compulsion") or(arg2=="c"):
            thin_blood_Compulsion_embed=discord.Embed(title="thin_blood compulsion",description=thin_blood_Compulsion,color=discord.Color.blue())
            await ctx.send(embed=thin_blood_Compulsion_embed)```

here the error but it looks fine

    await ctx.send(embed=thin_blood_all_embed)```

[slate swan]

That's not the error. That's one small part of it

!traceback

[unkempt canyon]

Traceback

Please provide the full traceback for your exception in order to help us identify your issue.
While the last line of the error message tells us what kind of error you got,
the full traceback will tell us which line, and other critical information to solve your problem.
Please avoid screenshots so we can copy and paste parts of the message.

A full traceback could look like:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "my_file.py", line 5, in <module>
    add_three("6")
  File "my_file.py", line 2, in add_three
    a = num + 3

TypeError: can only concatenate str (not "int") to str

If the traceback is long, use our pastebin.

[stark ingot]

I dont know what library you use but this is how you do it in pycord and it may be similar in other libraries
https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/models.html#discord.TextChannel.create_thread If you just dont pass a message or type it will be a private thread.
Then with a Thread object you can archive and set the locked argument to true

[timber dragon]

Same for dpy

[fast osprey]

You don't, if it's private the people in the thread deserve to be alerted that someone has been added to it. Why are you adding people to locked threads anyways?

[stark ingot]

I dont have it set up, but can you delete that message? If you can than just delete the message, otherwise discord has blocked it

[stark ingot]

Is it a private thread?

[fast osprey]

There are multiple ways people could be "added". Is their name showing up explicitly on the members list of the thread without there being a message? Also, is this just a vanity thing or is there a need to not inform people of who is on the thread?

It depends precisely what you mean by added. There is a visible list of people who have commented on the thread or been added directly, but that is not all of the people who could see that thread, read its messages, and join themselves if that's what you mean

Is that what this other bot does?

Skeptical. There's not like a magical option when adding someone to a thread to decide not to announce it afaik

Either they're not being added directly (inheriting perms to see it), you are lacking the perms to see the message history of them being added, or the bot is actively removing those messages

[stark ingot]

A thread creating using a message cannot be a private thread as far as I am aware

[fast osprey]

There's that, too. Spawning a thread off a message makes it public

Threads inherit permissions from the channel they're in

A thread in a "private" channel is not itself automatically "private", in as far as the setting on the thread is concerned

You probably shouldn't be spawning channels for individual folks in the first place IMO

And just have private threads in a public channel

[stark ingot]

does it ping the members, I think this automatically adds them to the thread

[fast osprey]

If it's spawned off a message, it's not a private thread. Anyone who can see that channel can see the thread, regardless if they're added to it or not (either by someone/bot or by sending a message in it themselves)

So if it's a public thread, you have no need to add people to it at all as they can already see it. Pinging them will bring their attention to it, but just adding them doesn't really accomplish anything in that scenario

I'm personally suggesting you don't do this, have a single public channel and make private threads in it. But however you want to architect this is up to you

• private/public is a true/false flag on each individual thread
• if it is public, then everyone who can read messages on the parent channel can see that thread. Adding people to the thread doesn't really do anything. threads spawned off of a message must be public.
• if it is private, only people who are added to the thread (and can see the channel) OR people with manage_threads permission on the parent channel can see that thread. You may choose to make a thread private when creating it on a channel and not on a specific message

[sleek cedar]

Is there any way to have forum posts be private to only mods? If only I could use the forum feature as a ticket system.

[stark ingot]

No, if users can create/see any forum post they can see all of them

[sleek cedar]

Dang

[feral carbon]

Your token is not valid

Go back to the discord dev website and get a new token for your bot

[slate swan]

That has absolutely nothing to do with discord bots
