I don't just remember the meaning of constructor in Finish

[sullen shoal]

constructor of every python class is object.__init__

!d object._init_

[unkempt canyon]

object.\_\_init\_\_

object.__init__(self[, ...])```
Called after the instance has been created (by [`__new__()`](https://docs.python.org/3/reference/datamodel.html#object.__new__ "object.__new__")), but before it is returned to the caller. The arguments are those passed to the class constructor expression. If a base class has an [`__init__()`](https://docs.python.org/3/reference/datamodel.html#object.__init__ "object.__init__") method, the derived class’s [`__init__()`](https://docs.python.org/3/reference/datamodel.html#object.__init__ "object.__init__") method, if any, must explicitly call it to ensure proper initialization of the base class part of the instance; for example: `super().__init__([args...])`.

Because [`__new__()`](https://docs.python.org/3/reference/datamodel.html#object.__new__ "object.__new__") and [`__init__()`](https://docs.python.org/3/reference/datamodel.html#object.__init__ "object.__init__") work together in constructing objects ([`__new__()`](https://docs.python.org/3/reference/datamodel.html#object.__new__ "object.__new__") to create it, and [`__init__()`](https://docs.python.org/3/reference/datamodel.html#object.__init__ "object.__init__") to customize it), no non-`None` value may be returned by [`__init__()`](https://docs.python.org/3/reference/datamodel.html#object.__init__ "object.__init__"); doing so will cause a [`TypeError`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/exceptions.html#TypeError "TypeError") to be raised at runtime.

[tawdry perch]

oh.

yh, this will be too hard

[boreal ravine]

I thought just kwargs lol

[sullen shoal]

yeah that will work too

because all the parameters of Embed are keyword only

!d discord.Embed

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Embed

class discord.Embed(*, colour=Embed.Empty, color=Embed.Empty, title=Embed.Empty, type='rich', url=Embed.Empty, description=Embed.Empty, timestamp=None)```
Represents a Discord embed.

len(x) Returns the total size of the embed. Useful for checking if it’s within the 6000 character limit.

bool(b) Returns whether the embed has any data set.

New in version 2.0.

Certain properties return an `EmbedProxy`, a type that acts similar to a regular [`dict`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#dict "(in Python v3.9)") except using dotted access, e.g. `embed.author.icon_url`. If the attribute is invalid or empty, then a special sentinel value is returned, [`Embed.Empty`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Embed.Empty "discord.Embed.Empty").

For ease of use, all parameters that expect a [`str`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#str "(in Python v3.9)") are implicitly casted to [`str`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#str "(in Python v3.9)") for you.

[sullen shoal]

yeah

[tawdry perch]

let me guess, this ain't correct.. ```py
import discord

class Factory(discord.Embed):
def init(self, *args, **kwargs):
super().init()
self.embed = Factory(*args, **kwargs)

async def mod_log(self, ctx, title, description, field, value):
    embed = self.embed(title=title, description=description, color=ctx.author.color)
    embed.add_field(name=field, value=value)
    return embed

[sullen shoal]

no

, a good OOP tutorial will explain it pretty easily and quick

the basics of OOP will take around an hour to learn if you pay attention

[tawdry perch]

I have no idea what am I even supposed to do for it to work so I will probably continue it later or just give it up and make embeds manually

[sullen shoal]

it could be a function too but it will not look that good tho

[tawdry perch]

I'll just look up online smth that might work

[obtuse jewel]

quick question

is there an on_mention event?

[silk mauve]

on member mention?

[sullen shoal]

on_message
check if length of discord.Message.mentions is more than 0

[vocal shoal]

how to get guild description?

[spring flax]

!d discord.Guild.description

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.description

The guild’s description.

[vocal shoal]

thx

[silk mauve]

Guys, this is my error: discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: AttributeError: module 'discord.utils' has no attribute 'get_role'

@bot.command()
async def snipe(ctx):
Serverbooster = discord.utils.get_role("874795834733117450")

What do I have to change now?

[sullen shoal]

utils is slow, use discord.Member.get_roles instead
discord.Member has to be an instance of the class

[silk mauve]

Alright

[sullen shoal]

oh

wait

!d discord.Member.roles

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.roles

property roles: List[Role]```
A [`list`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#list "(in Python v3.9)") of [`Role`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Role "discord.Role") that the member belongs to. Note that the first element of this list is always the default [‘@everyone](mailto:'%40everyone)’ role.

These roles are sorted by their position in the role hierarchy.

[silk mauve]

Serverbooster = discord.discord.Member.get_roles("874795834733117450")

[sullen shoal]

!d discord.Member.get_role

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.get\_role

get_role(role_id, /)```
Returns a role with the given ID from roles which the member has.

New in version 2.0.

[slate swan]

get from the guild

[silk mauve]

Like this?

One discord too much

[sullen shoal]

what do you want to do

[silk mauve]

I've a command.

[slate swan]

do you want to check if user has the role

[silk mauve]

Yeah

If he doesnt, a embed is gonna send

[slate swan]

use the decorator, @commands.has_role()

[silk mauve]

@bot.command()
async def snipe(ctx):
Serverbooster = discord.Member.get_role("874795834733117450")
if not ctx.author.has_role("Server Booster"):
embed = discord.Embed(title="Booster Command", description="Du hast ein Booster Vorteil Entdeckt!",
colour=discord.Colour.red())

[slate swan]

!code pls

[silk mauve]

I did

[unkempt canyon]

Here's how to format Python code on Discord:

```py
print('Hello world!')
```

These are backticks, not quotes. Check this out if you can't find the backtick key.

[silk mauve]

async def snipe(ctx):
    Serverbooster = discord.Member.get_role("874795834733117450")
    if not ctx.author.has_role("Server Booster"):
        embed = discord.Embed(title="Booster Command", description="Du hast ein Booster Vorteil Entdeckt!",
                              colour=discord.Colour.red())```

I alried tried has role

[slate swan]

its a decorator

[silk mauve]

But I dont know how to do it if someones doen't have the role, and the person uses a the command

[slate swan]

not an attribute

[sullen shoal]

!d discord.Member.premium_since check this as well maybe thats what you want

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.premium\_since

An aware datetime object that specifies the date and time in UTC when the member used their “Nitro boost” on the guild, if available. This could be None.

[silk mauve]

yeah, and?

[slate swan]

I don't get why you use discord.Member as well, you need to use ctx.author

[silk mauve]

if not ctx.author.has_role("Server Booster"):

[slate swan]

member has no has_role attribute

[silk mauve]

Yeah

[slate swan]

you have to check if its in its roles

[silk mauve]

Got that error rn lol

[slate swan]

hello

[silk mauve]

Wdym?

[silk mauve]

sup

[slate swan]

so i have dis work command

@bot.listen()
async def on_message(message):
    if message.content.startswith('!work'):
        channel = message.channel
        await channel.send('print hello world')

        player = message.author
        gg = random.randint(100, 150)

        def check(m):
            return m.content == "```py print('hello world')```" or '```print("hello world")```' or "print('hello world')" or 'print("hellow world")' and m.channel == channel

        msg = await bot.wait_for('message', check=check)
        c.execute(f"UPDATE data SET balance = balance+{gg} WHERE ID = {player.id}")
        conn.commit()
        await channel.send(f"You Worked Hard To Fix The Bug, You Got **{gg}:nexus:** as Salary")
        print(gg)

so I am trying to make a function such as work "list"

i currently have 3 works such as this types and want to make a command such as
!work {work_name}
and allow the users to take 1 work out of 3

role_ids = [r.id for r in ctx.author.roles]

if not ROLEID in role_ids:
  ...

wouldnt recommend this, so long, another way would be getting the role. u could use a decorator

[silk mauve]

wut

[slate swan]

@silk mauve

[slate swan]

the code seems to be weird because its python language

[slate swan]

have you used dank memer?

[silk mauve]

?

[slate swan]

soo i am trying to make a command such as

!work {work_name}
and i have 3 work names
naming
coder
gamer
artist

[silk mauve]

cool

[slate swan]

and if the person types
! work coder
than the user cannot use
work command of gamer or artist

can you pls help me to make this system

[atomic wolf]

Do you guys know the minimum amount of time between messages from a loop I can send at?

I'm trying to make a bot that sends a message every hour.\

[velvet tinsel]

Huh?

Asyncio.sleep

!d asyncio.sleep

[unkempt canyon]

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.

Deprecated since version 3.8, removed in version 3.10: The `loop` parameter. This function has been implicitly getting the current running loop since 3.7. See [What’s New in 3.10’s Removed section](https://docs.python.org/3/whatsnew/3.10.html#whatsnew310-removed) for more information.

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

[slate swan]

no asyncio sleep, use tasks from discordpy

[velvet tinsel]

Huh

[velvet tinsel]

Oh, ok.

[slate swan]

@tasks.loop(hours=1)
async def myloop():
   # do stuff

[velvet tinsel]

Im bad at helping people

😭 I was called toxic

[slate swan]

it's the thought that matters

:CB_patcat:

bruh

[sullen shoal]

epic nitro fail

[atomic wolf]

makes sense

[velvet tinsel]

:sadge:

[atomic wolf]

I guess I wait the 5 minutes and see if it sends

[velvet tinsel]

I mean

I told people to Google it

I don’t know why they hate me for this

[atomic wolf]

async def myloop():

    response = "Hugu Wugu"

    await ctx.send(response)
    channel.send(response)```

[slate swan]

yeah, uh, don't do that.

[atomic wolf]

any prollums here?

[slate swan]

there's no ctx, you need to get the channel from its ID

[atomic wolf]

on loops too eh?

[velvet tinsel]

Why

What’s wrong with that

It’s the obvious answer 🤷‍♂️ unless you already searched it up or nothing happens

[slate swan]

rude, also anyone can guess googling may lead to answers

[slate swan]

Your just making it send a message each hour if you added a hour

[velvet tinsel]

Damn

I guess they don’t like googling

And plus they just come directly into discord

[atomic wolf]

instead of on the hour every hour? I suppose so.

kind of cheap of me.

[slate swan]

So your iterating through a list and you want each element to send with a delay of 1hour?

[slate swan]

yes there's no ctx on loops

[sullen shoal]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/tasks/index.html
this will help you get started with tasks

[dusky elk]

how do people usually go about running webservers and sharing data with a discord bot? do they have it run on the same event loop or is it different processes?

communicating with a DB or something else

[slate swan]

each service makes requests to the database, bots do too

you just have to implement it

[dusky elk]

ah gotcha

[atomic wolf]

I'm getting TypeError: myloop() missing 1 required positional argument: 'ctx'

async def myloop(ctx):

    response = "Hugu Wugu"

    await ctx.send(response)

myloop.start()```

is the ctx wrong?

[slate swan]

What are you tryng to do?

[atomic wolf]

send hugu wugu 5 times upon start up of bot?

[maiden fable]

u need to pass a parameter for ctx to the start method

[slate swan]

Make a function and create a task loop

[atomic wolf]

name ctx is not defined is what i'm getting now

for myloop.start(ctx)

yes, but ultimately I want it to send a message every hour 😐

[maiden fable]

But u need to use bot.get_channel to get the channel

where do u want to send the message

[atomic wolf]

general

[maiden fable]

The bot doesn't know what is general

You can do something like

@tasks.loop(...)
async def loop():
    await bot.wait_until_ready()
    channel = bot.get_channel(id)
    await channel.send(...)

loop.start()

Welp I just spoonfed ;-;

[slate swan]

it's base code

[maiden fable]

Stilllllll

[atomic wolf]

what's the import for that?

[slate swan]

no...

[maiden fable]

None 😄

[atomic wolf]

module 'discord.ext.commands.bot' has no attribute 'get_channel'

[spring flax]

it should auto import from discord.ext import tasks

[slate swan]

import discord.ext.commands.bot

let's go

[spring flax]

do

import discord
from discord.ext import commmands

as your first two imports

not discord.ext.commands.bot

[slate swan]

we're doing the thing that even youtube tutorials can

[sullen shoal]

i dont think they even opened the link i sent

[maiden fable]

Lmao

!d discord.ext.tasks.Loop also exists BTW

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.tasks.Loop

class discord.ext.tasks.Loop```
A background task helper that abstracts the loop and reconnection logic for you.

The main interface to create this is through [`loop()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/tasks/index.html#discord.ext.tasks.loop "discord.ext.tasks.loop").

[sullen shoal]

oh yeah

[tawdry perch]

for embed this is incorrect, but what is correct one? ```py
icon_url=member.display_avatar.url

[slate swan]

member.avatar.url

[tawdry perch]

ah

[hollow mortar]

hey i have a problem in my code

with open('songs') as f:
    lines = f.read().splitlines()
print(lines)




for line in lines:
    count=+ 1
    results = YoutubeSearch(line, max_results=1).to_dict()
    if len(results) > 0:
        dictionary = results[0]
        songs_urls =(f"youtube.com{dictionary.get('url_suffix')}")
        with open('songs','w') as f:
            f.write((songs_urls) + '\n')
        
    else:
        print("No results found.")
f.close()```

this is my code when i try to write the songs_urls in a txt file it write the url but write it and then remove it and write new one and keep doing this

i want it to write one and then go to anther line and go to the for loop and write the other one

even when im using writelines same problem any idea how to fix it ?

[cloud dawn]

So you want us to help with sync code that relates to Discord.py?

!blocking

[unkempt canyon]

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

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

import discord

# Bunch of bot code

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

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

async libraries
The standard async library - asyncio
Asynchronous web requests - aiohttp
Talking to PostgreSQL asynchronously - asyncpg
MongoDB interactions asynchronously - motor

[sweet chasm]

how would you get mutual members in python (im making a modmail bot)? Ik you can do it in js but how would we do it in py

[full lily]

mutual members?

[maiden fable]

!d discord.User.mutual_guilds is what u mean

[unkempt canyon]

discord.User.mutual\_guilds

property mutual_guilds: List[Guild]```
The guilds that the user shares with the client.

Note

This will only return mutual guilds within the client’s internal cache.

New in version 1.7.

[sweet chasm]

yh thx

idk how to word stuff

#bot-commands exists

[slate swan]

Hi, I am trying to make an event to send a message in a channel that the bot has permission to send in on join. I have this so far but it does not work and no errors are produced.

    @commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_server_join(self,ctx):
        for guild in self.bot.guilds:
            for channel in guild.text_channels:
                if channel.permissions_for(guild.me).say:
                    await ctx.message.channel.send('Hello! \n')
                    break

[cloud dawn]

My name!

[velvet tinsel]

Pandabweer

[cloud dawn]

[velvet tinsel]

Such a nice name

[cloud dawn]

Your's implies something nice as well😉

[umbral dome]

Can someone tell me how i can keep my discord bot up with a html?

[sage otter]

html is a markup language…. what correlation does that have with keeping your bot running.

[umbral dome]

Idk

[sage otter]

99.9 percent sure that event doesnt take in ctx.

[umbral dome]

my freind told me that with html the bot would keep being online

[sage otter]

But that’s not what really matters.

instead of ctx.message.channel.send() it’s just supposed to be channel.send()

[slate swan]

ah ok

[cloud dawn]

10000% sure on_server_join is from 2015 lol

[slate swan]

oh lol

[sage otter]

on_guild_join() pl0x

[cloud dawn]

!d discord.on_guild_join

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_guild\_join

discord.on_guild_join(guild)```
Called when a [`Guild`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Guild "discord.Guild") is either created by the [`Client`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Client "discord.Client") or when the [`Client`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Client "discord.Client") joins a guild.

This requires [`Intents.guilds`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Intents.guilds "discord.Intents.guilds") to be enabled.

[slate swan]

So something like this

    @commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_guild_join(self,guild,ctx):
        for guild in self.bot.guilds:
            for channel in guild.text_channels:
                if channel.permissions_for(guild.me).say:
                    await channel.send('Hello! \n')
                    break

don't need ctx

[cloud dawn]

Yeah but what is the reason for the spamming?

[slate swan]

wait what

It spams it?

[sage otter]

Well it does exactly what you want it to do.

[cloud dawn]

Yes this is code for a nuke bot so we don't help creating that here.

[sage otter]

Sends a message in every chat the bot has perms in

[umbral dome]

But is there some kind of method to keep a discord bot online so i dont have to pay for a vps or have mig pc open og day all night

[slate swan]

oh no

I definitely don't want that

I'm not trying to make a nuke bot lol

How do I make it so It only sends once?

[cloud dawn]

And i also recommend not copying code

Busted https://stackoverflow.com/questions/48834656/send-a-message-when-the-bot-joins-a-server ... lol

[slate swan]

I used that yeah

[sage otter]

Id honestly just a pick a random channel. For your use case.

[slate swan]

If I don't know how to do something where else do u want me to go?

[sage otter]

random.choice() on Guild.channels

And send it to that one

Or better yet

Use the system messages channel

[cloud dawn]

@commands.Cog.listener()
async def on_guild_join(self, guild: discord.Guild) -> discord.TextChannel.send:
    return await guild.system_channel.send('Hello!')
``` Don't think too difficult guys

[slate swan]

oh

It doesn't send a message for me, is that something to do with intents?

[cloud dawn]

Could you show it?

[sage otter]

the error as well pls

[slate swan]

There was no error but dw I fixed it. It was an indents problem

[cloud dawn]

So time for a beer?

[slate swan]

yes

[cloud dawn]

🍻

[sage otter]

Why you annotating to None if your returning something

[slate swan]

[cloud dawn]

Lemme fix

Done

[sage otter]

you could of just annotated it to discord.Message but that’s ok 👌

[velvet tinsel]

Pandabweer

🍻

[hollow mortar]

got everything fixed in anther channel ty anyway

[upbeat otter]

https://tenor.com/view/pepe-space-run-pepe-gone-pepe-bye-bye-gif-20984604

[umbral dome]

😭

But is there no way to keep a bot online without vps

[slate swan]

You don't need to use vps

There is just regular bot hosting

[upbeat otter]

Web servers could work but..m

[slate swan]

Bot hosting is really really cheap and easy

[umbral dome]

but its not a bot i wanna make a profit of i just want to be able to close my pc so my house dont burn to hell

[slate swan]

It's not a discord bot?

[upbeat otter]

Idk, I wouldnt recomment replit or heroku tbh

[umbral dome]

yea replit is not strong but when i close the web the bot closes too

[upbeat otter]

Uptime robot?

Closes it?

[umbral dome]

yea

[upbeat otter]

Weird

[umbral dome]

The bot shutdown when u close the web(replit)

[upbeat otter]

You're using uptime robot or not?

[umbral dome]

what is that?

[upbeat otter]

Thats what keeps your bot online even when you shut down your computer

Constantly pinging your bot's web server every 5 mins for free

But you need to refresh your repl every 9 hours

[umbral dome]

ohhh

Okay

[velvet tinsel]

I thought you have to pay

[slate swan]

How is this invalid syntax?

    return await guild.system_channel.send(embed=em)
    ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

[late wigeon]

how do I catch a discord interactions timeout error?
interaction = await self.bot.wait_for("button_click", timeout=30)

[velvet tinsel]

errr

I think you dont have to await it

[velvet tinsel]

it's not like that

[outer violet]

How do I make the commands have description when showing the help command?

[velvet tinsel]

idk how to use the bot

[slate swan]

Do you mean in an embed?

[late wigeon]

yeah I can't find any api for discord interactions

[velvet tinsel]

I mean you can delete the help command

[late wigeon]

it makes it hard

[velvet tinsel]

no...

[velvet tinsel]

example = bot.wait_for("message", check=check, timeout=30)

[slate swan]

    return guild.system_channel.send(embed=em)
    ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

[late wigeon]

I might be wrong but you can probably just do this
async def teams(self, ctx, description="description"):

[velvet tinsel]

show full code

[late wigeon]

how'd you find this

[velvet tinsel]

wont work I think

[velvet tinsel]

I dont think that would work ;-; but I mean you can try

[slate swan]

    @commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_guild_join(self, guild: discord.Guild) -> discord.abc.Messageable.send:
        em = discord.Embed(title = "Title", description = "Description",colour=0x3FE452)
        em.add_field(name="Name", value="Value"

Like- would it be like this??

@client.command(brief=“brief”, description=“description”)`?```

[late wigeon]

where did you find this though

[haughty quartz]

i dont have it

[velvet tinsel]

what do you mean?

[haughty quartz]

this is what i get

[velvet tinsel]

when you create a flask repl, there should be a link...

[haughty quartz]

yep ik

but it doesnt work

[velvet tinsel]

ok...

did you follow the uptimeRobot?

[haughty quartz]

i cant as i dont have a link

[velvet tinsel]

Ok

it may be outdated

[haughty quartz]

wdym

[outer violet]

UptimeRobot is a website

[haughty quartz]

i know

[velvet tinsel]

but this should be a #web-development question, as it does not apply to discord bots (fully)

[haughty quartz]

but i dont have a https link that i could put there

[velvet tinsel]

he doesn't have a link, it won't work

[haughty quartz]

okay

[outer violet]

What does it look like right now?

[haughty quartz]

[velvet tinsel]

there is a screenshot

[outer violet]

Run the flask code in another file

[haughty quartz]

how?

[velvet tinsel]

I have no experience with Flask, but my Django projects work pretty well
we dont talk about the time where I spent hours trying to pip install django

[outer violet]

Then import it in the main file

[haughty quartz]

lol

[velvet tinsel]

won't work...?

[haughty quartz]

how do i do that ?

[velvet tinsel]

create a new file, and then from example import * but I dont think it'll work

[warm torrent]

i know it may sound dumb but how can I edit a channel ? idk if i must do channel.edit(blablabla) or another thing like await channel.edit. and can you tell me how to do the command becuse i doont understand the "reason" and where to put the channel's id or name to change it with a new name

[slate swan]

How can I check if a user joined in the last 24 hours or not?

[valid niche]

as the docs say, it's await, and everything is an optional kwarg

[valid niche]

there's a member.joined_at, which is a datetime object so you can compare it to something like utcnow()

!d discord.Member.joined_at

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.joined\_at

An aware datetime object that specifies the date and time in UTC that the member joined the guild. If the member left and rejoined the guild, this will be the latest date. In certain cases, this can be None.

[slate swan]

and how do I do it with the last 24hours

[valid niche]

subtract utcnow and the joined_at, and you get a timedelta

!d datetime.timedelta

[unkempt canyon]

datetime.timedelta

class datetime.timedelta(days=0, seconds=0, microseconds=0, milliseconds=0, minutes=0, hours=0, weeks=0)```
All arguments are optional and default to `0`. Arguments may be integers or floats, and may be positive or negative.

Only *days*, *seconds* and *microseconds* are stored internally. Arguments are converted to those units...

[warm torrent]

what is a kwarg ? what does the * stand for ? do I write the name directly or name("newame")

[valid niche]

• stands for kwarg in this context

keyword argument

https://realpython.com/python-kwargs-and-args/

[warm torrent]

can you do an example of the edit fuction please ?

[valid niche]

await channel.edit(name="hello world")

[pliant gulch]

!args-kwargs

[unkempt canyon]

*args and **kwargs

These special parameters allow functions to take arbitrary amounts of positional and keyword arguments. The names args and kwargs are purely convention, and could be named any other valid variable name. The special functionality comes from the single and double asterisks (*). If both are used in a function signature, *args must appear before **kwargs.

Single asterisk
*args will ingest an arbitrary amount of positional arguments, and store it in a tuple. If there are parameters after *args in the parameter list with no default value, they will become required keyword arguments by default.

Double asterisk
**kwargs will ingest an arbitrary amount of keyword arguments, and store it in a dictionary. There can be no additional parameters after **kwargs in the parameter list.

Use cases
• Decorators (see !tags decorators)
• Inheritance (overriding methods)
• Future proofing (in the case of the first two bullet points, if the parameters change, your code won't break)
• Flexibility (writing functions that behave like dict() or print())

See !tags positional-keyword for information about positional and keyword arguments

[dire folio]

so i have this:

          try:
                role = 'Staff'
                await client.wait_for("message", check=lambda m: m.channel == ticket_channel and m.content == "!close", timeout=3600)

            except asyncio.TimeoutError:
                    await ticket_channel.delete()

            else:
                    await ticket_channel.delete()

and i want to check if the user who sent the msg has the role Staff how would i do that. lmk if i should post the whole code

[slow fog]

something like this

role = discord.utils.find(lambda r: r.name == 'Member', ctx.message.server.roles)
        if role in user.roles:
            await bot.say("{} is not muted".format(user))
        else:
            await bot.add_roles(user, role)

[slate swan]

How to make a add roles for user by using buttons?

[dire folio]

i already tried that it justs deletes the channel as soon as its made

[cedar stream]

Read the docs for button, there is a way to overwrite callback function

It’ s all in the docs

[slow fog]

what how is that

[slate swan]

where is the docs? send link please

[dire folio]

no clue tbh. but as soon as the channel gets opened it gets deleted

[warm torrent]

thank you I understand now

[cedar stream]

Idk what library u use for components

Read docs from library ur using

[velvet tinsel]

hi enslo

[cedar stream]

help i tried doing collatz conjecture on a discord bot and this is the error and i understand none of it

[slate swan]

I’m trying to make a bot command where if you ping bot it gives prefix

it says num is a required argument that is missing.

[late wigeon]

does anyone know how to use the check parameter with buttons
msg = await client.wait_for('message', check=check)

[slate swan]

if its a button why are you waiting for a message

[late wigeon]

it's an example

interaction = await client.wait_for('button_click', check=check)

there

[slate swan]

you can make it check=lambda interaction: interaction.author == ctx.author, although it depends on what library you're using.

[late wigeon]

awesome I modified what you sent a bit and it works exactly how I want it to

[slate swan]

😉

[dire folio]

so i have a category called tickets and i when i do the command $close in a channel, i want that channel to be deleted how would i do that?

[manic wing]

is your prefix $?

[slate swan]

You use .delete attr

[manic wing]

!d discord.TextChannel.delete

[unkempt canyon]

discord.TextChannel.delete

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

Deletes the channel.

You must have [`manage_channels`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Permissions.manage_channels "discord.Permissions.manage_channels") permission to use this.

[manic wing]

await ctx.channel.delete()

[dire folio]

yes

how would i check if the channel is in a specific category?

[slate swan]

hi i have a bot that pulls posts from reddit by copying the link into discord and discord auto embeds it. the issue is sometimes the post is not a jpg or png and it doesnt properly embed so is there anyway to identify the link type before it sends?

[manic wing]

!d discord.TextChannel.category || you make a command called close, check if its in the category, and then do await ctx.channel.delete()

[unkempt canyon]

discord.TextChannel.category

property category: Optional[CategoryChannel]```
The category this channel belongs to.

If there is no category then this is `None`.

[manic wing]

what does the link look like?

sometimes it has the file ending in the link

[slate swan]

Check the url with .endswith(".jpg" or "png") i think it would work

[manic wing]

not always

[slate swan]

How so?

[manic wing]

thats why im asking what the link looks like

[slate swan]

Hes searching for many links so i think he cant specify it

[slate swan]

its usually your normal i.redd.it / example .jpg

[manic wing]

if it ends in the file ending, then you can do okami’s method

but not all links end with the file suffix

a link could just be an object

[slate swan]

ight but thats better then what i have

so thanks!

[dire folio]

help
how to fix

async def close(ctx):
    if discord.TextChannel.category == 914974724914827314:
        await ctx.channel.delete()

[cedar stream]

category.id

[dire folio]

where would i put that?

[slate swan]

yeah ive been working with it and it works perfectly thanks

[slate swan]

Nice,your welcome

how can i invoke something in a command so i can have more room for arguments? like
async def globalnote(ctx, member : discord.Member, guild : discord.Guild, note):. it says that certain arguments are required but even if i provide them all it wouldnt work

does anyone know what i mean or shall i explain more

[sick birch]

what do you mean by it doesn't work?

[slate swan]

Ok so I made a suggest command and here is the main code:

@commands.command(name="Suggest", brief="*Send a suggestion to our suggestions channel to suggest things for bots, channels, events, etc.*")
async def suggest(self, ctx, suggestion):

    embed = discord.Embed(
        title = "Affinitys Advertising New Suggestion",
        description = f"*{suggestion}*",
        color = 0xFF8000,
        timestamp = ctx.message.created_at
    )```

there is more but this is the main 
When I use the command and I use multiple words spaced out it only sends the first word
not the entire sentence

[sick birch]

yeah, you need to consume the rest of the arguments

you would call it like if you were using keyword-arguments

def functionName(positionalArgument1, *, keywordArgument1, keywordArgument2, ...):
  # code here

[slate swan]

I dont understand why I would need to do that so manually

[sick birch]

That's just how the library is designed

[slate swan]

there has to be a discord.py way to do it.

[sick birch]

No, this is how the docs tell you to do it as well

Alternative is to keep it like you have right now, and use quotes around multi-word arguments

[slate swan]

where do I put as the ```py

code here```

[sick birch]

such as

!commandName "multi word argument"

[sick birch]

whatever your code inside the command is

[slate swan]

so like: ```py
@commands.command(name="Suggest", brief="Send a suggestion to our suggestions channel to suggest things for bots, channels, events, etc.")
def functionName(positionalArgument1, *, keywordArgument1, keywordArgument2, ...):
async def suggest(self, ctx, suggestion):

    embed = discord.Embed(
        title = "Affinitys Advertising New Suggestion",
        description = f"*{suggestion}*",
        color = 0xFF8000,
        timestamp = ctx.message.created_at
    )......```??

wait shit

[sick birch]

what i provided was only psuedocode, don't copy and paste it

i was only demostrating a concept

[slate swan]

I have to find someone else, this is helpful sorry

[sick birch]

?

[slate swan]

!code

[unkempt canyon]

Here's how to format Python code on Discord:

```py
print('Hello world!')
```

These are backticks, not quotes. Check this out if you can't find the backtick key.

[slate swan]

@client.event
async def statuschange():
  await client.wait_until_ready()
  while True:
    await client.change_presence(activity=discord.Activity(type=discord.ActivityType.listening, name="a song", url="song"))

Why does this not work?

[sick birch]

most likely because statuschange is not a valid event name

[final iron]

If you want to get the entire suggestion you can do

async def function_name(self, ctx, *, suggestion): ...

[slate swan]

I've used it in the past, no issues

[sick birch]

well what errors do you get this time?

[slate swan]

no error, just the bot doesn't have a status

[sick birch]

this is what i meant, just didn't wanna spoon feed haha

[final iron]

Everything except calling the command will be stored in suggestion

[slate swan]

is there somewhere in the dev portal that I have to enable?

[sick birch]

that makes sense, it's not a valid event so i don't see why it's getting called

[slate swan]

ok

[sick birch]

prehaps you didn't mean to have the decorator?

[slate swan]

thank you so much, I will try it

[sick birch]

Also, what's calling the coro?

[final iron]

How is this spoon feeding? Its nothing less than what you did

I also just have no idea what the * is called

[valid niche]

1. statuschange is not an event unles you're using some super weird library that does that
2. your will absolutely kill your rate limit and probably get yourself API banned

[final iron]

And if it even has a special name

[sick birch]

i think it actually does

can't think of it off the top of my head

[slate swan]

How can I fix 🙏

[sick birch]

don't use a while True

[valid niche]

look at those 2 things i mentioned

[sick birch]

also, the recommended way to have good status changing is using the tasks extension

Set a task for, say, 60 seconds and change it like that

[valid niche]

or just not use some weird status updater because they are often super annoying

[sick birch]

Common mistake i see people making is also setting the presence in on_ready, you shouldn't do that

[slate swan]

I understand the fact that just telling them the answers isnt ok, but what I was asking wasnt spoon feeding. I was wondering how I can get this commmand to work and what I do to make it work and how it makes it work.

[valid niche]

you should set it to a few minutes, iirc the last known rate limit on custom status was like 2 per 10 minutes

[sick birch]

similar to channel edits haha

[slate swan]

whats the event name for status?

Command raised an exception: AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'send'```

[slate swan]

Code?

  @commands.command(name="Suggest", brief="*Send a suggestion to our suggestions channel to suggest things for bots, channels, events, etc.*")
  async def suggest(self, ctx, *, suggestion):
  
      embed = discord.Embed(
          title = "Affinitys Advertising New Suggestion",
          description = f"*{suggestion}*",
          color = 0xFF8000,
          timestamp = ctx.message.created_at
      )
      embed.set_footer(text=f"Requested by {ctx.message.author} | ID-{ctx.message.author.id}" .format(ctx.message.author, ctx.message.author.id))

      channel = bot.get_channel(911686489782489177)#907446181624447066

      await channel.send(embed=embed)
      await ctx.send("*Suggestion sent to the servers bot suggestion channel.*")```

its the *

[sick birch]

Yep, that would consume all the arguments

[valid niche]

What is “status” supposed to represent?

[slate swan]

the bots status (listening, watching, etc)

[sick birch]

on_presence_update i think

[valid niche]

That’s a type

That’s not an event

[sick birch]

I think they want the event when bot detects a status update?

[slate swan]

no, when the bot is online I want the status to show

[valid niche]

That triggers if any member the bot can see updates their presence (which includes but is not limited to status)

[sick birch]

You mean on_ready?

[valid niche]

Just add it to activity= in the bot constructor

[sick birch]

If so, you shouldn't change presence in on_ready

^ that is the recommended way

[slate swan]

where?

i have a command that adds notes to users as per guild, how can i use pages to limit it to 10 per page and add an argument for the page like ^notes <user> <page> to prevent bot lag using button reactions? the notes are stored in a txt file by the way

[valid niche]

Read the message

[final iron]

How are you running the command?

[slate swan]

??

[valid niche]

If you add it to the bot constructor, it gets send with the identify payload to discord, which is the intended way

[final iron]

What are you typing in to discord to run the command?

[slate swan]

f!suggest <suggestion>

how can i start this file ? the \f is annoying

[final iron]

I misread the error. Its saying that channel is None. Are you sure the id is correct?

[slate swan]

How can I do watching and add a link? @valid niche

I thought I could just add url=""

but doesn't seem so

[slate swan]

yes, but I will try to paste a new

[valid niche]

!d discord.Activity

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Activity

class discord.Activity(**kwargs)```
Represents an activity in Discord.

This could be an activity such as streaming, playing, listening or watching.

For memory optimisation purposes, some activities are offered in slimmed down versions:

• [`Game`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Game "discord.Game")

• [`Streaming`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Streaming "discord.Streaming")

[slate swan]

ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[final iron]

Also this is wrong embed.set_footer(text=f"Requested by {ctx.message.author} | ID-{ctx.message.author.id}" .format(ctx.message.author, ctx.message.author.id))

[valid niche]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot

class discord.ext.commands.Bot(command_prefix, help_command=<default-help-command>, description=None, **options)```
Represents a discord bot.

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

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

[slate swan]

so I remade the suggestion channel, and I forgot to fix the id

[final iron]

Pick either f strings or .format

[slate swan]

no

it works

[final iron]

The code works but it doesn't make sense

[slate swan]

activity=discord.Activity(type=discord.ActivityType.watching, name="Twitch", url="https://www.twitch.tv/"))

@valid niche

[final iron]

@slate swan

Using them at the same time is useless

[slate swan]

i have a command that adds notes to users as per guild, how can i use pages to limit it to 10 per page and add an argument for the page like ^notes <user> <page> to prevent bot lag using button reactions? the notes are stored in a txt file by the way

[valid niche]

I’m going to kindly ask you to stop doing @valid niche thank you

[visual island]

await self.context.author.send(...)

[outer violet]

ok

[maiden fable]

👀

[slate swan]

I added slash commands to my bot but the commands say "Interaction failed". my code is correct

it only happens to commands that dont have a ctx.send

[maiden fable]

Yea it's bound to happen

!d discord.InteractionResponse.defer

[unkempt canyon]

discord.InteractionResponse.defer

await defer(*, ephemeral=False)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Defers the interaction response.

This is typically used when the interaction is acknowledged and a secondary action will be done later.

[slate swan]

should I add some type of response? maybe it will fix it from saying the error

[maiden fable]

Use this

[slate swan]

can I see an example

[maiden fable]

await ctx.response.defer()

[slate swan]

what does it do exactly?

[maiden fable]

Do you know that some bots do the thinking reply?

[slate swan]

yes

[maiden fable]

That's what it does

[slate swan]

my bot is doing that, then responds with the Interaction Failed

So I can just add await ctx.response.defer() ?

AttributeError: 'SlashContext' object has no attribute 'response'

[maiden fable]

Huh?

Can I see some code?

Which library u using?

[slate swan]

discord-py-slash-command

3.0.1

[maiden fable]

Ah don't use that one

[slate swan]

Why?

[maiden fable]

Idk I never used it but people say that it's broken and doesn't work properly

[slate swan]

which is better?

[maiden fable]

!pypi disnake u can use this. It's a dpy fork with slash commands and buttons too

[unkempt canyon]

disnake v2.2.2

A Python wrapper for the Discord API

[slate swan]

will discord.py code work with it

[maiden fable]

Sure

[slate swan]

how do I use slash commands with it?

[maiden fable]

You just need to change your imports to disnake

[slate swan]

wdym?

[maiden fable]

Like change import discord to import disnake and stuff

[slate swan]

only once though right?

[maiden fable]

Well you need to change every import

Since u r gonna change libraries

[slate swan]

else how am I gonna import datetime, os etc

[maiden fable]

Ah u will be able to do those like u r doing those rn

[slate swan]

so i only change the import discord?

[maiden fable]

Yea

[slate swan]

so I completly remove my import discord?

[maiden fable]

And also imports like from discord.ext import commands to from disnake.ext import commands

[slate swan]

from discord.ext import commands

to?

[maiden fable]

from disnake.ext

[slate swan]

how do I use slash commands

and also will em = discord.Embed turn into disnake.Embed

[maiden fable]

https://github.com/DisnakeDev/disnake/tree/master/examples/slash_commands

There are examples (:

[maiden fable]

Yea

But if u r using VSCode, just search discord and right click and then select change all occurrences

[slate swan]

can u send an example

[maiden fable]

?

[slate swan]

of the slash commands

[maiden fable]

^^^

[slate swan]

which

[maiden fable]

Those are different types of slash command

[slate swan]

I just need regular ones

[maiden fable]

One is with autocomplete, other with options

[slate swan]

difference?

[maiden fable]

Kk lemme share

[slate swan]

basically all I do is change the .command to client.slash_command()

[maiden fable]

https://github.com/DisnakeDev/disnake/blob/master/examples/slash_commands/subcmd.py

Ignore the decorator with @command.sub_command() deco, u don't need those

[slate swan]

?

does disnake not have voice_client ?

@maiden fable

[maiden fable]

What's that

You mean VoiceClient?

[slate swan]

discord voice client

[maiden fable]

Ah

It has that, why

[slate swan]

AttributeError: 'ApplicationCommandInteraction' object has no attribute 'voice_client'

[maiden fable]

Ah

Show code

[slate swan]

well it's only happening for my commands that are in cog

[maiden fable]

Okay... Can I see code

Seems like it's a slash command or something

[slate swan]

!code

Here's how to format Python code on Discord:

```py
print('Hello world!')
```

These are backticks, not quotes. Check this out if you can't find the backtick key.

[sick birch]

If you still need to know, it basically tells Discord's servers, "Hey, I received the interaction, I'm not gonna do anything just yet, but just know that I got your request"

I.e a fake response

It comes in handy when you want to do the *_original_message functions

[slate swan]

can you help me with something

[sick birch]

To the best of my ability, I'd be glad to 😄

[slate swan]

can we go to dms

[sick birch]

Sorry but I don't do dm help

[slate swan]

oh

[sick birch]

You can ask here and I'll help, others will be able to chime is as well

[slate swan]

Command raised an exception: AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'channel'

!code

[unkempt canyon]

Here's how to format Python code on Discord:

```py
print('Hello world!')
```

These are backticks, not quotes. Check this out if you can't find the backtick key.

[sick birch]

The guild ID is probably incorrect, though I'd need to see your code to properly diagnose the issue

Ohh, that happens when the author isn't in a voice channel

[slate swan]

the bot does return "You're not in a voice channel"

[sick birch]

It does both at the same time?

[slate swan]

yes

wait no

[sick birch]

Makes sense, it doesn't care if you're in a voice channel or not when it tries to find the channel

You should add an else after the first if, and move the voice_channel variable into it

[slate swan]

it only does "You're not in a voice channel!" when I try running the command without being in a voice channel

and it says "Successfully joined the voice channel!" When I am in a voice channel

does not do them both at the same time

how do I make it so the error does not occur in the Console

[sick birch]

It's supposed to do this?

[slate swan]

No

it does everything correctly

Im asking how I can make it so the error Command raised an exception: AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'channel'
does not happen in the Console

[sick birch]

Can you post the full traceback? Maybe it's happening somewhere else

So its only where i thought it was

[slate swan]

So?

[sick birch]

When exactly does the error happen again?

[slate swan]

when I do /join but am not in a voice channel

[visual island]

return it

return await ctx.send("You're not in a voice channel!")

[slate swan]

this command is inside of a cog btw

[slate swan]

it works as it should? why do I need to add return

[visual island]

to exit the function

[slate swan]

ok let me try that

should I add return to await ctx.send("Successfully joined the voice channel! ✅")

aswell?

[visual island]

it's the end of the code so no need

[slate swan]

oh alright.

thanks, it worked!

[visual island]

yes

but I wont help you here

i see, thanks

[cobalt jacinth]

should i be worried about my bots future since discord.py is abandoned ? any advice ?

[sullen shoal]

use forks

like disnake

[cobalt jacinth]

i just need to import one of the fork instead of discord.py ? or needs to change the syntex as well

[sullen shoal]

idk about others, but if you use disnake, you just gotta replace discord. to disnake.

i heard pycord changed the path of Bot subclass, so you might have a hard time with that one

[cobalt jacinth]

okay..my bot has about 4k lines and i was worried about discord.py

[sullen shoal]

forks are pretty good, shouldn't be something to be worried about

if you want something entirely new with new syntax, you could try hikari

[cobalt jacinth]

so disnake you recommand ?

[sullen shoal]

yes

[digital sonnet]

Can I connect a website to other websites and then put a command my bot?

[sullen shoal]

they also have a version, where you dont even have to change your code

[cobalt jacinth]

i want to spend least time on changing code i have

[sullen shoal]

uninstall discord.py and install that thing

[digital sonnet]

Nextcore?

[maiden fable]

With disnake, just change the imports and boom, u r done :D

[sullen shoal]

however its not recommended to do that

[sullen shoal]

disnake

[digital sonnet]

Ok

[pliant gulch]

Why do you need to uninstall discord.py to use disnake?

[slate swan]

It doesn’t make sense

[cobalt jacinth]

great..my browser history had started filling up with js guides😅

[sullen shoal]

im talking about a different branch

disnake[shim]

[pliant gulch]

Ah

I remember seeing disnake in their FAQ that you should uninstall discord.py

Was wondering the reason for that

[sullen shoal]

maybe they were talking about that one

if you use that version, you dont have to replace anything in your code

but idk if its updated that often

[pliant gulch]

Still wouldn't explain why you would need to uninstall discord.py to use disnake

[sullen shoal]

you dont need to uninstall it if you use the normal branch

[pliant gulch]

So are you saying that if you use a different branch you need to uninstall discord.py?

[sullen shoal]

the shim one replaces the files of discord.py

[pliant gulch]

????

🤔

[sullen shoal]

the shim branch will replace the original discord.py files, its better to delete it

[pliant gulch]

Disnake and discord.py are separate packages... Disnake can't change discord.py files lol

[sullen shoal]

it can :/

[pliant gulch]

In python you have you packages folder, and those are separated

[cobalt jacinth]

class one(commands.Cog):
   """Cog description"""

    @commands.command()
    async def earth(self, ctx):
        """Command description"""
        await ctx.send("Pong!")
class two(commands.Cog):
   """Cog description"""
    @commands.command()
    async def mars(self, ctx):
        """Command description"""
        await ctx.send("Pong!")

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="!")
bot.add_cog(one())
bot.add_cog(two())
bot.run('token')

[pliant gulch]

I'm unsure how the disnake library would override those files in a different folder...

[cobalt jacinth]

is this the correct format for cogs

[sullen shoal]

there are extensions for disnake

[spring flax]

dont make another bot instance. And dont run the bot again in the cog.

[brave flint]

umm how to make this work

[sullen shoal]

if you pip installl them

[brave flint]

i want make like if ?help show main help embeds cuz i have another classes of cmd

[pliant gulch]

I don't even see a shim branch for disnake

Unless I'm looking at the wrong repo

[sullen shoal]

they move it to the original ext folder of the library

[cobalt jacinth]

i need to catergorize my help commands...can i do that with something simpler

[pliant gulch]

Where I don't see it

[spring flax]

class one(commands.Cog):
   """Cog description"""

    @commands.command()
    async def earth(self, ctx):
        """Command description"""
        await ctx.send("Pong!")

def setup(bot):
  bot.add_cog(one(bot))

[sullen shoal]

idk if its a branch or not, but it works if you try to install it

[sullen shoal]

install an extension for discord.py, and then check your ext folder of the discord.py package folder

[pliant gulch]

Give me a second

[cobalt jacinth]

what about second catergory ? one , two , three

[pliant gulch]

🤔

[spring flax]

you don't want to make different folders for different cogs? That's normally more organised

[sullen shoal]

thats not an extension

one sec i have to check if its available or not

[pliant gulch]

Isn't that how you install optional stuff on pip??

[cobalt jacinth]

i have no idea about cogs i just read this

[pliant gulch]

And I just went off of what you sent

[cobalt jacinth]

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/50006738/categories-on-help-command-for-discord-bot

[pliant gulch]

I cannot install from a repo branch as one literally doesn't exist..

[brave flint]

try git+repourl

maybe its work

[pliant gulch]

Did you even read what I said??

[brave flint]

yep

[pliant gulch]

So how would installing from the repo url do what I want

[cobalt jacinth]

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/50006738/categories-on-help-command-for-discord-bot
this i checked out

[keen quartz]

hi

[sullen shoal]

idk if it still exists or not, its been a while i chcked

[pliant gulch]

I don't get what you mean

[pliant gulch]

Have you installed this package thing before hand already?

[brave flint]

wait is the repo doesnt exits?

[sullen shoal]

it worked before

[pliant gulch]

And did your discord.py exts folder get overwritten

[sullen shoal]

theres no otherway it could work

it must be overriden

[spring flax]

oh you want cogs in your main file

[pliant gulch]

And why is that

[cobalt jacinth]

i thought it should be easy to make catergory for my help commands

[sullen shoal]

maybe it doesnt but still python can't guess which one you want to use so you gotts uninstall that thing

[pliant gulch]

These are two separate packages, one is a fork of the other so the fork has literally all the methods and classes of the other one. You don't need to overwrite the old package in order to use the new one, because the fork literally has all the implementations

[brave flint]

i make custom help on main.py lol

[pliant gulch]

???? If python couldn't do that I'm pretty sure that would be a huge issue and a crazy bug that would've been fixed already

Lmao... I even mentioned early python packages get their own folders so that makes no sense either way

[sullen shoal]

looks like you're confused what the shim version is for

[pliant gulch]

What is it for then

[spring flax]

you want to make a cog in your main file or in a different file?

[sullen shoal]

if you install it, you dont have to replace discord to disnake, instead the entire package is named discord so no need to change imports

[pliant gulch]

That probably replaces sys.module

Lol???

[sullen shoal]

and how would you use both of them ?

[slate swan]

How can I use slash commands for a client.group using disnake?

[pliant gulch]

Keyword replaces

[sullen shoal]

what?

[pliant gulch]

I'm not saying it doesn't allow you to use disnake without changing imports, but what I'm saying is that it DOESN'T CHANGE DISCORD.PY FILES

!e ```py
import sys; sys.modules["math"] = import("random")

[unkempt canyon]

@pliant gulch :warning: Your eval job has completed with return code 0.

[No output]

[sullen shoal]

what im saying is that you can't use both the original discord.py and shim by your choice

you gotta keep one

unless there are some weird workarounds im unknown of

[pliant gulch]

🤔

[cobalt jacinth]

it says help is already an existing command

[brave flint]

do bot.remove_command("help")

[cobalt jacinth]

no idea...can you explain whats the difference pls

[sullen shoal]

i kind of agreed with you there that it may not replace the orignal files

[spring flax]

put help_command=None in your bot constructor

[cobalt jacinth]

i see ok

[spring flax]

wrong reply i think

[slate swan]

How can I use slash commands for a client.group using disnake?

[brave flint]

bro can u help my problem?

[sullen shoal]

nope

[spring flax]

generally cogs are made in the different file from the main

i think

[slate swan]

yes

[upbeat otter]

whats the problem?

[brave flint]

here

[pliant gulch]

import sys

sys.modules["discord"] = __import__("disnake")
sys.modules["original"] = __import__("discord")

[spring flax]

@brave flint https://tutorial.vcokltfre.dev/tutorial/05-cogs/

[cobalt jacinth]

ok i dont need cogs...i will make my own help command😂 ..thanks for guiding me to the right path

[sullen shoal]

so you gotta do that everytime you want to use it or what

also what is original

[brave flint]

wut?

[brave flint]

i alr know bout cogs

[pliant gulch]

original is discord, so you can do import original and it would be discord

[spring flax]

wrong ping sorry

[pliant gulch]

And yes obv you have to do that if you want to use them both, cause obv from what you said the shim ext overwrites the import...

If you are that lazy to not want to change imports then I'm sure that wouldn't be a big deal to use both

[sullen shoal]

but isn't the original also named discord

or original is some special prefix or smth

[pliant gulch]

🤔

[slate swan]

!code

[unkempt canyon]

Here's how to format Python code on Discord:

```py
print('Hello world!')
```

These are backticks, not quotes. Check this out if you can't find the backtick key.

[sullen shoal]

where do you put this this code

in your file or some other files in the package folder

[slate swan]

Youve done that command like 10 times already?

[slate swan]

I need the code

[slate swan]

Wdym

the backticks

[upbeat otter]

lmao

[slate swan]

Just .bm it and why mobile has it and so does desktop

[graceful mulch]

whats eval

[sullen shoal]

evaluate

[upbeat otter]

a function

[pliant gulch]

I would put it inside of an __init__

[slate swan]

Evaluates the given code

Must be a simple block*

[graceful mulch]

ok

[sullen shoal]

at this point someone would just replace discord with disnake and not override imports

[graceful mulch]

but how you all manage to keep track like so many messages per second

[slate swan]

If its a complicated code block use

exec(a)

[upbeat otter]

just keep adding them to a variable after a second, easy

[pliant gulch]

Sure, but some people are just lazy

[graceful mulch]

hey I am talking about this server

[pliant gulch]

I don't really care about that, I just don't see the reason why discord.py needs to be uninstalled when using disnake

I don't even know why it says that in the FAQ either

[slate swan]

Many people ig🤷‍♂️

[upbeat otter]

if @unkempt canyon is written in python, then its easy

[slate swan]

No like how do WE keep up with so many messages

[graceful mulch]

Hello I dont know Why isn't it working
py await client.change_presence( activity=discord.Activity( type=discord.ActivityType.watching, name= str(len(client.guilds))+ sum(1 for g in client.guilds for _ in g.channels), ) )

[slate swan]

Wait nvm

[upbeat otter]

wdym

[slate swan]

[sullen shoal]

it doesn't, i checked maybe they discontinued the branch

[upbeat otter]

use activity command in bot constructor

[pliant gulch]

Are you in the disnake server?

[graceful mulch]

??

cany ou give example

[upbeat otter]

wait

[sullen shoal]

yes, im gonna go afk now

[pliant gulch]

Before you afk, type /faq in the disnake server

It will say somewhere to uninstall discord.py before installing

[upbeat otter]

commands.Bot(command_prefix=prefixes, intents=discord.Intents.all(), help_command=None, activity=discord.Activity(type=discord.ActivityType.listening, name=".help"))

like this ^

see error

[maiden fable]

didn't I just tell u the answer

[upbeat otter]

I'm broke on buttons

[upbeat otter]

lmao

[graceful mulch]

you say nice , people would bash on me for keeping my bot off for so much time

[maiden fable]

Okay so do u know the meaning of

class Bot(commands.Bot["Bot"]):
    pass

[upbeat otter]

https://carl.gg

[maiden fable]

@graceful mulch dude I just told u the answer

[upbeat otter]

^

[maiden fable]

Imagine ignoring 😐

Welp, time to KMS ;-;

[upbeat otter]

why dont you tell me 🥲

[maiden fable]

When I come to know, sure :D

[upbeat otter]

thankuu

@maiden fable closing Curly Bracket when?

[maiden fable]

When discord agrees that my status is good

Mhm

[spring flax]

can i make the space less? i.e make the thumbnail smaller

[maiden fable]

Sure, but for that u will need to do some hackery

This is an avatar url

There's a size param

I think that should work

See

When editing the size, the image will resize. That should work

[slate swan]

From 16 to 4096, only powers of 2 are valid

[maiden fable]

Idts, it's 100 rn and it resized

The returned size can be changed by appending a querystring of ?size=desired_size to the URL. Image size can be any power of two between 16 and 4096.

[maiden fable]

Weird, then how does 100 work 🤨

[slate swan]

It doesn't resize to 100x100

[maiden fable]

O

[livid crane]

Is it possible to change a guild's system channel through code?

[maiden fable]

No

[sullen shoal]

🤨

[livid crane]

Huh.. ok. Thanks. But, how do some bots do it? Give you an option as to where you want to send member join / leave notifications?

[sullen shoal]

does the bot notify

[maiden fable]

!d discord.on_member_join

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_member\_join

discord.on_member_join(member)``````py

discord.on_member_remove(member)```
Called when a [`Member`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Member "discord.Member") leaves or joins a [`Guild`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Guild "discord.Guild").

This requires [`Intents.members`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Intents.members "discord.Intents.members") to be enabled.

[sullen shoal]

or discord?

[livid crane]

I thought about that, but not in the way I should have to see that's the answer. Thank you

[pliant gulch]

“But don't forget to remove discord.py”

[sullen shoal]

oh yeah, didn't notice, its not needed but disnake can do everything discord.py 2.0 can so it doesn't really matter but you could keep both of them if you want, maybe they included that because while modifying their code they might forget to replace some imports and complain something aint working and shit so yeah

@maiden fable also in the image i sent why does embed.empty come in footer?

[maiden fable]

because embed.timestamp is None

[spring flax]

oh the timestamp

whoops

[maiden fable]

And the default value is Embed.Empty

[spring flax]

i should have just done message.created_at

[maiden fable]

Lol

[graceful mulch]

Bye

[spring flax]

if i have a list of role ID's what's the best way to check if a member has any one of these roles? role_array_list = ["something", "something", "something","something", "something", "something"]

[sullen shoal]

iterate through it and use in keyword

you use any

[maiden fable]

So u need to have the role objects for this purpose

[sullen shoal]

!d any

[unkempt canyon]

any

any(iterable)```
Return `True` if any element of the *iterable* is true. If the iterable is empty, return `False`. Equivalent to:

```py
def any(iterable):
    for element in iterable:
        if element:
            return True
    return False

[maiden fable]

!d any

[unkempt canyon]

any

any(iterable)```
Return `True` if any element of the *iterable* is true. If the iterable is empty, return `False`. Equivalent to:

```py
def any(iterable):
    for element in iterable:
        if element:
            return True
    return False

[maiden fable]

;-; Why

[sullen shoal]

lol

use generator expression with it

!e

print(any(i for i in (0,1,0)))```

[unkempt canyon]

@sullen shoal :white_check_mark: Your eval job has completed with return code 0.

True

[spring flax]

oof i cant check for role id for member?

[slate swan]

!code

[unkempt canyon]

Here's how to format Python code on Discord:

```py
print('Hello world!')
```

These are backticks, not quotes. Check this out if you can't find the backtick key.

[maiden fable]

U will still need the role object

I would love to add that but I won't be surprised if the people in disnake server term this thing as "useless" 🤷‍♂️

[pliant gulch]

if discord.utils.find(lambda r: r.id in list_of_ids, member.roles): # do stuff

[sullen shoal]

my is_admin decorator 😔

[maiden fable]

Well that was surely useless (sorry) since there's commands.has_permissions but readability wise, that would have been a really great addition!

[sullen shoal]

yeah ik i realised it later

[spring flax]

ah

thank you andy

[pliant gulch]

👍

[slate swan]

Anyone here familiar with disnake?

[spring flax]

you want slash commands for command groups?

[boreal ravine]

Very

[spring flax]

wait so if i want to check if a member has any one of the roles from a list of role ids and if yes remove that role, i can do it with what you sent right

[maiden fable]

U will want to use :=

Walrus operator

[spring flax]

what's that never heard of it

[pliant gulch]

find returns the Role you can use remove_roles with that
