<t:1623981015>

oh nice it works

<t:1623981015>

hm ok ok, thanks

[peak loom]

I keep getting this and I can't fix it.

[upbeat otter]

aww, ilysm

[sick birch]

What's the code look like?

A tiny snippet of the error doesn't help us understand what the error is trying to say

[upbeat otter]

ctx isnt required

message argument does everything

[sick birch]

on_message only comes with message

ctx is only for commands

[upbeat otter]

name ctx anything you can

[small igloo]

:3

[small igloo]

hmm, sup

also @sage otter sup

[peak loom]

Now this happens.

[upbeat otter]

message.channel.send

[small igloo]

lol where channel

[peak loom]

I'm tired leave me alone.

I'm on 3 hours of sleep/

[upbeat otter]

me on 20 minutes

[sage otter]

Relatable.

[small igloo]

what, u need channel, u can't leave message and send without channel, they need channel to live, without channel they can't live

[small igloo]

2 months ago i'm not sleep strike 3 days

[peak loom]

Lol.

[upbeat otter]

not even kidding lol

[sage otter]

You talking about the commands extension or like actual commands?

[peak loom]

Ive done that my test sucked.

[small igloo]

"lol"

[small igloo]

what test is it

[upbeat otter]

umm....

Off-topic channels

There are three off-topic channels:
• #ot2-never-nester’s-nightmare
• #ot1-perplexing-regexing
• #ot0-psvm’s-eternal-disapproval

Their names change randomly every 24 hours, but you can always find them under the OFF-TOPIC/GENERAL category in the channel list.

Please read our off-topic etiquette before participating in conversations.

[small igloo]

bhre ok

[peak loom]

Do I need await?

[upbeat otter]

yes

[small igloo]

for send message? bhru that's the most importatnt part

[peak loom]

Sorry, I'm more of an ethical hacker of wifi.

[small igloo]

lol wifi stealer

[peak loom]

No, I only do it to my family to scare them that I know the password.

[upbeat otter]

oof

[small igloo]

what? ur family not let u know the pasword? oof

[peak loom]

Its not iilegal I'm a white hat.

[peak loom]

If its one that I've never been to, like if they moved.

[small igloo]

what

[upbeat otter]

lets keep the discussion to #discord-bots

[peak loom]

I know, but I have ADHD I get off topic easily.

[upbeat otter]

#networks for you

[peak loom]

Thats networking?

[small igloo]

hope u can get well soon

[drifting tulip]

How can i make a channel private for everyone. Obviously not for people with administration permissions.

[peak loom]

I've had it since birth, but I can control it Juice WRLDS music helped.

[small igloo]

WRLDS

[peak loom]

It's not hacking.

[small igloo]

lol @upbeat otter what is it just npw

now

[upbeat otter]

hacking requires you to learn networking first so uhh

[upbeat otter]

mistakes happen, i'm sorry

[drifting tulip]

?

[peak loom]

Well, I don't do it unless needed.

[small igloo]

no, hacking requires you to learn hacking

[small igloo]

idk

[small igloo]

lol ok

hackin5n3 smth

[sick birch]

ethical hacking can actually be a great way to learn new concepts and strengthen existing ones

[upbeat otter]

anyways, keep it #discord-bots

[sick birch]

but yeah

ot

[small igloo]

k

[upbeat otter]

#networks *

[peak loom]

#ot2-never-nester’s-nightmare

[small igloo]

what

[sage otter]

you can do this by

Making a permission overwrite for the guilds default role

[small igloo]

hmm, ok i almost forgor to ask again, why the coin is empty

[drifting tulip]

But i want to make it available for the person that invoked the command

[sage otter]

Create an overwrite then

!d discord.TextChannel.set_permissions

[unkempt canyon]

discord.TextChannel.set\_permissions

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

Sets the channel specific permission overwrites for a target in the channel.

The `target` parameter should either be a [`Member`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Member "discord.Member") or a [`Role`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Role "discord.Role") that belongs to guild.

The `overwrite` parameter, if given, must either be `None` or [`PermissionOverwrite`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.PermissionOverwrite "discord.PermissionOverwrite"). For convenience, you can pass in keyword arguments denoting [`Permissions`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Permissions "discord.Permissions") attributes. If this is done, then you cannot mix the keyword arguments with the `overwrite` parameter.

If the `overwrite` parameter is `None`, then the permission overwrites are deleted.

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

[upbeat otter]

coin?

[drifting tulip]

!d discord.Message.edit

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message.edit

await edit(content=..., embed=..., embeds=..., attachments=..., suppress=..., delete_after=None, allowed_mentions=..., view=...)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Edits the message.

The content must be able to be transformed into a string via `str(content)`.

Changed in version 1.3: The `suppress` keyword-only parameter was added.

[upbeat otter]

#bot-commands

[mild birch]

what does await client.process_commands do?

[boreal ravine]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.process_commands @mild birch

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.process\_commands

await process_commands(message)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

This function processes the commands that have been registered to the bot and other groups. Without this coroutine, none of the commands will be triggered.

By default, this coroutine is called inside the [`on_message()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.on_message "discord.on_message") event. If you choose to override the [`on_message()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.on_message "discord.on_message") event, then you should invoke this coroutine as well.

This is built using other low level tools, and is equivalent to a call to [`get_context()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.get_context "discord.ext.commands.Bot.get_context") followed by a call to [`invoke()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.invoke "discord.ext.commands.Bot.invoke").

This also checks if the message’s author is a bot and doesn’t call [`get_context()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.get_context "discord.ext.commands.Bot.get_context") or [`invoke()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.invoke "discord.ext.commands.Bot.invoke") if so.

[fluid harbor]

Hey

[drifting tulip]

has nothing to do with anything

!d discord.Guild.get_member

[upbeat otter]

discord commands out of context of the conversation belong to #bot-commands

Showing invalid identifier error?

[drifting tulip]

doesn't relate to #discord-bots

[upbeat otter]

replit?

[fluid harbor]

Ys

[upbeat otter]

yeah

[upbeat otter]

go to #web-development

[fluid harbor]

No

[upbeat otter]

yes

[fluid harbor]

It is for discord bot hosting

[drifting tulip]

Doesn't mean anything.

[fluid harbor]

Oh

#web-development here

[drifting tulip]

mhm

[fluid harbor]

Idk. If you can give me a code for hosting that would be nice

[drifting tulip]

that's probably the error

[boreal ravine]

If the bot gets a user and it returns this, is it still a discord.User object or no? or is it just a string

[upbeat otter]

in main() return a string and it should work

[fluid harbor]

For example

[upbeat otter]

def main():
  return "smh"```

[fluid harbor]

Can I be your friend

[upbeat otter]

I don't allow friend reqs so...sure

[slate swan]

Thats a question ive never heard

[fluid harbor]

from flask import Flask
from threading import Thread

app = Flask(__name__)

def run():
    app.run(host="0.0.0.0",port=8080)
def a():
    server = Thread(target=run)
    server.start() 

It still shows same error

[slate swan]

Very random and funny question if i say so myself

[fluid harbor]

Uh you can also be my friend

[upbeat otter]

I've seen that quite a lot of times lol

[full valley]

So I have a queue command for players to q up for a game

# !q command -> Puts players into queue
@bot.command(name="queue", aliases=["q"], description="Join the queue")
@commands.check(is_issuer_in_game)
@commands.has_any_role(verified_role, 908784013181878342)
async def queue(ctx):
    try:
        if ctx.channel.id in allowed_channels:
            ...
------>        qtimer_tasks[game_id].append(asyncio.create_task(qtimer(timedplayer, game_id, qsize, channel)))
               print(qtimer_tasks)```

qtimer function is a timer until the player gets disconnected from the queue:
```py
async def qtimer(timedplayer, gameid, qsizee, channel):
    try:
        await asyncio.sleep(15)
        if gameid not in games:
            playerqueue.remove(timedplayer.mention)
            lobby.remove(timedplayer.id)
            if len(playerqueue) > 0:
                embed = discord.Embed(
                    title=f"**{len(playerqueue)} of {qsizee} players are in the queue**",
                    description=str(timedplayer.mention) + " was kicked from the queue! (Timeout)",
                    color=0xE74C3C)
            else:
                embed = discord.Embed(
                    title="**There are no players remaining in the queue**",
                    description=str(timedplayer.mention) + " was kicked from the queue! (Timeout)",
                    color=0xE74C3C)
            embed.set_footer(text=f"CBell 6 Mans | Created by Heptix",
                             icon_url="https://i.imgur.com/1utxX7d.png")
            await channel.send(embed=embed)
    except Exception:
        print(traceback.format_exc())```

however, the task isnt completing as I am not getting kicked from the queue after 15 seconds?
Im not getting any errors either, only console line telling me

> ```defaultdict(<class 'list'>, {99: [<Task pending name='Task-51' coro=<Command.__call__() running at C:\Users\~\AppData\Local\Packages\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.9_qbz5n2kfra8p0\LocalCache\local-packages\Python39\site-packages\discord\ext\commands\core.py:358>>]})```

[upbeat otter]

umm....

[slate swan]

Alone wolf lol

[upbeat otter]

!paste

[unkempt canyon]

Pasting large amounts of code

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

After pasting your code, save it by clicking the floppy disk icon in the top right, or by typing ctrl + S. After doing that, the URL should change. Copy the URL and post it here so others can see it.

[slate swan]

Maybe because your a female

Or sm

[upbeat otter]

stress

[slate swan]

School you ment?

[full valley]

?

[fluid harbor]

Uh no.

[upbeat otter]

huhhh

[slate swan]

Thats nice

[upbeat otter]

Girls dont help loool

[slate swan]

It still shows same error

[upbeat otter]

thinker said that not me

[slate swan]

Im not thinker lol

[fluid harbor]

Lol

[upbeat otter]

are you calling the a function in your main file?

[slate swan]

Im a different human bean

[fluid harbor]

Yes
import a

a.a()

[upbeat otter]

that's some weird naming

[slate swan]

Delete the character lol

[upbeat otter]

umm....try backspacing

[fluid harbor]

Which one

[slate swan]

Your iq is super high

[upbeat otter]

after start() there's an invis character

[upbeat otter]

its over 9000

[slate swan]

Replit is literally showing you lol

[slate swan]

Nah higher

[fluid harbor]

So I have to remove ()

server.start?

[upbeat otter]

that was an anime reference but nvm

[upbeat otter]

noooo

just write that line again

to make things simple

[fluid harbor]

Wdym

[slate swan]

@fluid harbor

something.something()#
``` theirs a invalid character

[forest bramble]

I'm sorry if this is the wrong channel (I don't know where else to post.)
I want to develop a bot for my discord server. Is there an easy way that does not involve complex coding?
My knowledge of Python is less. Can anyone help me?
I will be awaiting replies.

[slate swan]

.no

[boreal ravine]

what kind of bot?

[fluid harbor]

I didnt understand

from flask import Flask
from threading import Thread

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route('/')
def main():
    return "hello"
def run():
    app.run(host="0.0.0.0",port=8080)
def a():
    server = Thread(target=run)
    server.start() 

So what to remove or add?

[slate swan]

Its an example where theirs an invalid character

[forest bramble]

I want it to moderate my server.

[upbeat otter]

use a preset app that's all I can say

[slate swan]

You can use official bots ig

[forest bramble]

the commands r a bit confusing for me

[boreal ravine]

I mean theres no way to make a moderation bot without 'complex coding' if you wanna make a good 'moderation' bot

[slate swan]

I think me bot can make bots idk

[fluid harbor]

Uh

[slate swan]

Use the help command lol

[fluid harbor]

???

[upbeat otter]

you can use help commands they provide

[forest bramble]

ik python till if-else conditions only

[fluid harbor]

from flask import Flask
from threading import Thread

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route('/')
def main():
    return "hello"
def run():
    app.run(host="0.0.0.0",port=8080)
def a():
    server = Thread(target=run)
    server.start() 

What to add or remove.........

.....

[boreal ravine]

!resources then

def run():
app.run(host="0.0.0.0", port=8080)
def a():
server = Thread(target=run)
server.start()

hey

[fluid harbor]

Both are same. What's the difference

[upbeat otter]

python gotta adjust

yes?

[boreal ravine]

an invisible character that you cant see that I maybe deleted

[slate swan]

Delete this space after start()

[fluid harbor]

Hm

[upbeat otter]

stop typehinting the bot

and then try

your main file ss too

[slate swan]

What?

[upbeat otter]

nothing, imma keep quiet

[slate swan]

Type hinting the bot is necessary

[fluid harbor]

Still doesn't work@boreal ravine

[slate swan]

@upbeat otter what type hint are you talking about?

[boreal ravine]

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14844687/invalid-character-in-identifier read this

[slate swan]

Because in __init__() it is required

[upbeat otter]

bot: commands.Bot

[fluid harbor]

Eveee whats your birthday year?

[slate swan]

Theirs 2

[upbeat otter]

doesnt matter

[fluid harbor]

||Lol||

[upbeat otter]

wdym

[slate swan]

How is that related to the topic if the channel

[fluid harbor]

Sorry

[slate swan]

Look at the setup function

[upbeat otter]

and?

[slate swan]

Were you talking about that type hint?

[upbeat otter]

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

I was saying that typehinting bot wasnt necessary

[slate swan]

Yes you are correct lol

[upbeat otter]

smh

[slate swan]

In init it is require tho

[upbeat otter]

hmmm yeah

[slate swan]

Any question?

About it?

We would gladly help you understand

You dont load extension is to load cogs

Mhmm

[upbeat otter]

i literally cant understand your messages....

[slate swan]

Me either

[maiden fable]

# in cog file
def setup(bot):
    bot.add_cog(Cog(...)) 

# in main bot file
bot.load_extension("cog.name") 

[boreal ravine]

arguing for what

[slate swan]

Dont quite understand anybody here

[upbeat otter]

wao....

[boreal ravine]

they did that already

[maiden fable]

Then what's the error

[upbeat otter]

we were waiting for you, Lord

[boreal ravine]

cog has no setup function even though it has one

[maiden fable]

I was sleeping, so uhh

[maiden fable]

Okay... Show a screenshot of the setup function

[boreal ravine]

im not the person who got the error

[maiden fable]

Oops wrong reply

[upbeat otter]

its 9

[boreal ravine]

are you sure your running the right file? maybe you have another bot with the same file and your pc is running that one

[maiden fable]

I slept at 1:30 so uhhh

[slate swan]

timezones

[upbeat otter]

same timezones

[maiden fable]

@hidden hazel show a pic of the file

[upbeat otter]

you sleep? :D

[maiden fable]

Yeaaa, I wish I was a robot tho

No, the whole file

[upbeat otter]

I'm a robot?

lol

[maiden fable]

Bro no, the cog file

[maiden fable]

Idk

Probably not

Yea

Uhhh, can u show the main bot file where u r loading the Cogs?

That should have worked

So commands cog gets loaded, right?

[slate swan]

😳 🚶

[upbeat otter]

why flushed xD

[maiden fable]

So that tells there's a problem in your listeners file, not in the main bot file

Did u try restarting the bot?

[slate swan]

[maiden fable]

@hidden hazel

[boreal ravine]

@hidden hazel are you running the latest file of your bot

[maiden fable]

Try starting it again

Huhhhhh

Show

[boreal ravine]

because its outside your class

[maiden fable]

It should be outside

[boreal ravine]

yep

[maiden fable]

BTW

Imagine a new way of loading cogs built inside dpy itself

Like

[upbeat otter]

why imagine, make it

[boreal ravine]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.load_extension ..?

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.load\_extension

load_extension(name, *, package=None)```
Loads an extension.

An extension is a python module that contains commands, cogs, or listeners.

An extension must have a global function, `setup` defined as the entry point on what to do when the extension is loaded. This entry point must have a single argument, the `bot`.

[maiden fable]

Like in the dpy source code, it's already written

class Cog(...):
    @classmethod
    def setup(cls, bot):
        bot.add_cog(cls(...)) 

And the library just does Cog.setup(self)

[boreal ravine]

@maiden fable whats the package kwarg for?

[maiden fable]

Never tried it tbh

[boreal ravine]

hm

[maiden fable]

No external setup method needed

Idts

[upbeat otter]

use try and except when you load the extensions

[maiden fable]

But it goes get loaded

[maiden fable]

That's just gonna eat errors, also no need since we already know the error

[upbeat otter]

mhm, of course

[maiden fable]

Yea me too

Do one thing. Restart your IDE

[upbeat otter]

you just woke up that's obvious

[maiden fable]

Woke*

😐

[slate swan]

Delete the type hint cause why not

[maiden fable]

No need

I do that most times

[slate swan]

No need for it either

[upbeat otter]

I'm too sleep-deprived, cant help with typos, im sorry

[maiden fable]

Well 🤷‍♂️

[slate swan]

🚶

[maiden fable]

Lmao

Bruhhhhh 😐

[slate swan]

🚶

Bye

[maiden fable]

🤣

[upbeat otter]

me too, bye

[maiden fable]

Lmfaooo

[upbeat otter]

[maiden fable]

Get some sleep y'all, imma play some games help everyone here

[upbeat otter]

Insomnia and I have an exam in 2 hours

[maiden fable]

Oh well I got one tomorrow, soo uhhh

Yea cool

[upbeat otter]

best of luck

[maiden fable]

Thanks

[slate swan]

I have anxiety 🚶

My grades are coming soon and if i fail again no pc and programming for me for 5months🚶

😆

Wdym

Your token just resets for no reason

[upbeat otter]

@maiden fable your about me full when?

noice

[maiden fable]

When discord spares me

[upbeat otter]

I just saw your full about me now but nvm

[slate swan]

You still need to close the dict lol

[upbeat otter]

its closed

[slate swan]

I cant see it🚶

Your token is none

[upbeat otter]

thats the inspect element but nvm

[slate swan]

I still cant see it🚶

[upbeat otter]

me too

[slate swan]

Now i will cry myself to sleep🚶

[upbeat otter]

bye

[slate swan]

Bye🚶

Its None lol

Thats like saying

str("")

🚶

Maybe it got reset 🚶

🕴️

[boreal ravine]

how do i make a guild mark as read in my bot

[slate swan]

You dont you regenerate it and ctrl c ctrl v it

Or just press the copy button🚶

[upbeat otter]

You were going to cry 5 minutes earlier

[slate swan]

Better example

a = 
print(str(a))

[slate swan]

I did

Yes but tokens arent ints their complex so bad example

REALLY 😱

Just type random stuff lol

Random stuff and not random ints

:levitate:

OMG REALLY 😱

Im joking i know lol

Just an example if you try to convert or edit something that's none

[upbeat otter]

Sure

[slate swan]

If your using replit yes

Then why

🕴️

[upbeat otter]

Replits envs dont work like that

[maiden fable]

Me who uses a python file to save the token 😐

[slate swan]

🚶

[slate swan]

I dont use replit so idrc

[maiden fable]

U can use os.getenv on repl too tho

[slate swan]

I just do in my files:

import stuff

vars = stuff
TOKEN = "hiimacooltokenlol"
#code
bot.run(TOKEN)

Looks good in my opinion

[cerulean canyon]

Bro holy shit

light mode gives me aids omg im not even kidding

my eyessssssssssssssssssss holy shit

[slate swan]

Make it full brightness

your problem?

hm , make sure you use the same variable name and capitalisation when you do it

what ide/editor are you using?

oh , do you use the play like button on the right top to run your code?

dont do that , use this instead

run without debugging option

may i see your .env file , with the token removed ofc

[shadow wraith]

im guessing it's just TOKEN=''

[slate swan]

it should be TOKEN =

since you use getenv('TOKEN')

yea just rename it , and use the run option i told , should work foinu

and where did you run it from?\

nah i mean , the play button
or the debugger option i told

[shadow wraith]

🕴️ do people do await bot.get_channel

if you do then im 🚶 rn

[slate swan]

await bot.get_channel().send(.... is what i do

[shadow wraith]

that's reasonable

[slate swan]

lemme try doing it myself , brb

[shadow wraith]

i think it has to be awaited to use .send()

which is a quicker method

[slate swan]

ok so i have this in my bot file py Kakashi.run(getenv('TOKEN'))
this is my .env file

TOKEN ='token here'```and it works like a charm

[slate swan]

Yes ofc

get() is async but fetch isnt

what did you name your env file? .env ill suppose , right?

[slate swan]

( opposite )

[slate swan]

Huh?

[slate swan]

fetch is a coro and is async
get is a normal def

[slate swan]

Read it again

get() is async but fetch isnt

READ IT AGAIN

[shadow wraith]

dawg bot.get_channel and get() are the same jk

[slate swan]

Yes

jk

[shadow wraith]

actually idk, i have never used get() before

[slate swan]

Same

[pliant gulch]

If you get really simple, yea get and get_channel are basically the same

[slate swan]

What was that😳

[pliant gulch]

Or they do the same thing/can do the same thing

[shadow wraith]

💀 once a guy told me "hey why u use indexing it trash"

because i did

!e
import random
element = [1, 2, 3]
print(f"{element[random.randint(0, 2)]}")

[unkempt canyon]

@shadow wraith :white_check_mark: Your eval job has completed with return code 0.

1

[shadow wraith]

and he kept telling me to use random.choice 💀, if it does the same thing it does the same thing, andy told smth important

[pliant gulch]

Well, yea the eval code you sent makes no sense for you to index here

Indexing is fine, but you don't need to use it when you don't need to

Its a bit implicit imo

[slate swan]

Whats indexing again

Iterating?

🚶

[jade tartan]

But i havent added a cog yet so

[spring flax]

!e

x = ['one', 'two', 'three']
print(x[0])

[unkempt canyon]

@spring flax :white_check_mark: Your eval job has completed with return code 0.

one

[slate swan]

Ah picking🕴️

Remember now lol

[spring flax]

picking?

[slate swan]

I just like calling it that🕴️

[prisma spoke]

    transcript_file = nextcord.File(io.BytesIO(transcript.encode()),
                                    filename=f"transcript-{ctx.channel.name}.html")
    await ctx.send(file=transcript_file)
```i want this it show like this in embed hyper link format how to do so?

its a file so if i do text it doesnt work

[lament mesa]

As far as I know [text](url) are only for hyperlinks.

[prisma spoke]

but i cnt do it cuz its a file

[tawdry perch]

Show code?

[lament mesa]

yeah, because discord doesn't support that

maybe you could use the pastbin api and upload your file there and send the link of the uploaded file

[prisma spoke]

its an html file

it is a kind of ss

ig it can be done like only if i have a website of my own which is hosted

[analog sparrow]

I've been trying to make a useful discord bot for a while, but I can't get a good idea of what people would want to use, does anyone here have any ideas on a useful discord bot I could make?

[lament mesa]

yeah, you could make your own website for that using django or flask

[spring verge]

I had a question

over here as u can see we are tabulating text

similarly is there a way to tabulate images?

like the avatar

[tawdry perch]

Like command ideas?

[analog sparrow]

or a bot concept idea, every idea i've thought has been done by almost every other discord bot (i haven't had many good ideas)

[tawdry perch]

I don't really have concept ideas

[slate swan]

a truly fully customizable all-purpose bot

all the bots available rn aren't FULLY customizable

[analog sparrow]

what do you mean by fully? (to what extent? you can change any messages send, you can change any logic, or you can change the code?)

[slate swan]

the first and second

[untold token]

You would need to use PIL for that

Pillow

[spring verge]

yea but before that I have to make table of avatars

so I can use it to draw on img

[untold token]

You need pil to draw lmao

[astral cobalt]

If I have a function that I want to call using 2 different aliases but when a certain alias is called it does a different task how would I do that? @client.command(name="call1", aliases=['call2']) async def call1(ctx): if(call1): do this if(call2): do this instead Something like this

[untold token]

Well just create an another command instead

[astral cobalt]

Yeah I could do that but they are esentially the same thing but changing one variable inside

I feel like the wouldent be very efficient

Basically I wanna change a value baised on what the input it

[untold token]

The thing is, aliases will call function which you have made an alias too

[spring verge]

but u cant use pil to make tables

or can u?

[untold token]

You could just take an argument instead

[untold token]

Use tabulate to generate tables and use PIL to draw it

[spring verge]

I was using tabulate module for text

[spring verge]

tabulate doesnt work for avatars?

[untold token]

Tabulate only generates text

[spring verge]

yea thats why

[untold token]

How will it work on an image

[spring verge]

bro thats why I asked the question

[untold token]

You need PIL to draw the image

[spring verge]

here

[untold token]

Use tabulate to generate the text

and use pil to take that text and draw on it on the avatar

[spring verge]

to "generate text"

[untold token]

Use both

you have to use PIL in order to write or read text from images and based on that you can use tabulate to do stuff and then use PIL again to work on the image

[manic wing]

dont create a new command

[untold token]

Oh wait, what are you exactly try to do

[manic wing]

!d discord.ext.commands.Context.invoked_with || this shows the alias it was invoked with, you can just do if ctx.invoked_with == …

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Context.invoked\_with

The command name that triggered this invocation. Useful for finding out which alias called the command.

[untold token]

Hm that would work too

Also if they were using dpy 2.0 they could use Flags

[untold token]

What are you trying to do?

[manic wing]

not necessary

i gave the most efficient way

[untold token]

Flags would be better

But okay

[manic wing]

how so?

[upbeat otter]

What're those?

[spring verge]

I mean I dont wanna discuss it further cuz its really not helping me .. not ur fault tho.. I was just trying to create leadberboard using tabulate text etc which all worked but now I want to tabulate avatars as well the same way I am doing for text in my leaderboard

I will try to figure it out 👍

[untold token]

Flags are like CLI, like you have a command line
some_command -sub_command something

[untold token]

That's what I said

How are you generating the data

[upbeat otter]

Oh command line flags

[manic wing]

how would that be ‘better’ than a one line check?

[spring verge]

from my postgres sql db

u mean the user ids or

the avatar

btw I am generating avatar by fetching user object from user id

and I take the user id from my db

[untold token]

I mean, they can take arguments with too, and the flag itself can have aliases

So yeah it would be better imo

But your way works too

[manic wing]

they asked for aliases, not arguments

[untold token]

So you can get the user data, create a table as a text and pass it to PIL and use PIL to write the text on the image

[untold token]

I know that, it was just a suggestion

[spring verge]

it already worked

but avatars cant be created as table of text

[untold token]

OH

OH

You mean reading the image?

[spring verge]

Imma just share the github code one sec

[untold token]

Alright

[manic wing]

not a very needed one

[spring verge]

so this is the general code I am talking about .. now as u can see here u open a template and then add tabulated text on the image by drawing

[untold token]

Okay lol, I can give suggestions about something that I know, don't be such an ass about it

[spring verge]

all of that I was able to do but what if I want to create another table of user avatars near the names of users

to make my leaderboard better

[manic wing]

im not being an ass, someone asks how to make a kick command and you tell them how to make a mute command - not very useful is it?

[upbeat otter]

Dont fight please ,-,

[untold token]

I gave a suggestion that can be useful for them, about command flags, yes they didn't ask for it exactly, but what's the harm in knowing about it. Stop making bullshit comparison.

[untold token]

Yeah, sorry

[upbeat otter]

Good

[untold token]

Oh now I get it, so like let's say you have 3 rows

And you want something like this

1. Avatar: data
2. Avatar: data
3. Avatar: data

Like that?

[spring verge]

yea basically one column of avatars with multiple rows

[untold token]

Ah I see

So text and image like an avatar, in an embed

So something like

[spring verge]

brb

[untold token]

Okay

[spring verge]

wait I have an example

[verbal cairn]

class FullMenu(disnake.ui.View):
    message: disnake.Message

    def __init__(self, embeds: list[disnake.Embed]):
        super().__init__(timeout=90.0)
        self.embeds = embeds
        self.embed_count = 0

    async def on_timeout(self):
        await self.message.edit(view=None)

    @disnake.ui.button(label="", emoji=":rewind:", style=disnake.ButtonStyle.blurple)

            embed = self.embeds[self.embed_count]
            embed.set_footer(text=f"Page {len(self.embeds)} of {len(self.embeds)}")
            await interaction.response.edit_message(embed=embed)

[spring verge]

see this image leaderboard

[verbal cairn]

my first page and last page buttons dont work properly

i cant figure out why tho

[untold token]

That's an image right

[unkempt canyon]

Hey @untold token!

It looks like you tried to attach file type(s) that we do not allow (). We currently allow the following file types: .gif, .jpg, .jpeg, .mov, .mp4, .mpg, .png, .mp3, .wav, .ogg, .webm, .webp, .flac, .m4a, .csv, .json.

Feel free to ask in #community-meta if you think this is a mistake.

[spring verge]

yea

[untold token]

Oops

[untold token]

So you want something like that

I see

[spring verge]

yes everything is there in my leaderboard except the avatars

[placid skiff]

Try to debug it and look what happen

[verbal cairn]

nothing happens lol

the first / last page buttons just go to the last page

[untold token]

Well when you generate the lb, maybe you can add some kind ID system that like

1. ID: data

And when you are generating the image, compare the ID and paste the image with right size and send it

[verbal cairn]

but dont set the embed count

[untold token]

You can use user IDs ofc

[placid skiff]

self.embed_count == 0
in first page, it is an assignment, why double equals? you are setting self.embed_count equals to True

or false lol

[spring verge]

yea but how do I make a table of those avatars

thats the main problem

[verbal cairn]

yeah that fixed it ty

[slate swan]

can anybody help me pls

#help-croissant

what u typing so long

[untold token]

Oh wait I maybe a have a better idea, first use the lb to sort out let's say, top 10 users, create a dummy table or something and add the avatar in the lb format,then when that image is generated, write your data on the image in those boxes

[slate swan]

@untold token can u help me

[untold token]

To generate images , you need to loop

[placid skiff]

np. If i can suggest another thing, in your code you are checking for example if the page is equal to 0 or equal to the length but usually, for convenience, it is better to check if the variable is not equals to something, so you don't need the pass statement, for example:

if self.embed_count != 0:
  #do your stuff
if self.embed_count != (len(self.embeds) -1):
  #your other stuff

nothing change of course, but the code will look a little bit better

you will not even need to use the else statement doing it like this

[verbal cairn]

yeah ty, less code always better, just changed it

[boreal ravine]

why have the label kwarg if your not even gonna use it lol

[verbal cairn]

which kwarg

[boreal ravine]

i said it in my message 🤔

[verbal cairn]

I dont see a label kwarg?

[boreal ravine]

wtf

[boreal ravine]

can you see it now

[verbal cairn]

oh

I was testing stuff with it idk

didnt wanna retype the label each time

[crimson sparrow]

everytime I respond back with the response type 7 in my discord components using my bot keeps returning that this interaction took too long to respond or you have already responded to it, but when I switch the token to a different bot using the exact same bot everything works fine

(I am using a third party package for the discord packages -- discord-components)

[slate swan]

` if message.content.lower() == '>register':
with open("/Users/bai/Documents/Personal Things/PythonDiscord/userprofile.txt",'a') as f:
f.write(str(message.author.id) + '\n')
f.write("UserBal: 0" + '\n')

    if message.content.lower() == '>bal':
        with open("/Users/bai/Documents/Personal Things/PythonDiscord/userprofile.txt",'r') as f:
            print(f.readlines())
            if str(message.author.id) in f.read():
                print('true')              `

im trying to let python read the text file

First is the user id
and then the user bal

all the other parts work, except for the last 2 lines

[full valley]

Anyone here decent with asyncio.tasks

Been making help channel after help channel but no one has responded. I feel I have given all the necessary information

[boreal ravine]

i think you need to defer it but deferring an interaction is only in dpy forks/dpy 2.0

[slate swan]

‽?????¿?????

bro

what

4096gb

[compact harbor]

Don't use quotations in .env file..
Use,

TOKEN= UHD21BXJSK6_31BDDNMZNS```
Like that...

[slate swan]

= a whole datacentre

[compact harbor]

It's not any valid token value I just showed an example.

[slate swan]

they probably meant mbs

[compact harbor]

In env file the key must be uppercase, such as
TOKEN, not Token

[tawdry perch]

what would happen if I have quotes, I have always used "" for token in .env

[compact harbor]

Not recommended

[tawdry perch]

but in theory it should not affect my code at all

[placid skiff]

Have you stolen a NASA a PC? 😆

Anyone know why discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: ClientException: ffmpeg was not found. is popping up?

Im trying to get my bot to play an mp3

[tawdry perch]

music bot..?

[tiny ibex]

ffmpeg was not found

[astral cobalt]

No just an mp3 file

[tiny ibex]

Simply says that

[placid skiff]

check the file directory

[tawdry perch]

you don't have ffmpeg installed?

[tiny ibex]

Install ffmpeg

[placid skiff]

and the path in your code

ah lol it wasn't the file

cancel everything

[tiny ibex]

@astral cobalt

[astral cobalt]

Ohhhh I though it was saying it couldent actually find the file

Okay sweet thank you

@tiny ibex Still says discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: ClientException: ffmpeg was not found. even though I imported it

[maiden fable]

U gotta install it from the official website

[astral cobalt]

I cant just use pip?

[tiny ibex]

No

https://ffmpeg.org/download.html

[prisma spoke]

once my bot reatarts...if i used buttons in my bot...why does it show interaction failed? how can i solve that?
i need to set the button roles again so that it works
anyway to solve that?

[tiny ibex]

https://www.wikihow.com/Install-FFmpeg-on-Windows

@astral cobalt

[astral cobalt]

same thing for mac?

but the mac version instead of windows

do I just clone the git to the folder my bot is in?

[verbal cairn]

anyone know how I can update the options in a dropdown menu when a command is used, and how I can change the view to the updated options view

[maiden fable]

await msg.edit(view=NewView())

[verbal cairn]

I do that in the dropdown class?

[maiden fable]

View class

Where u wanna edit the message with a new view

[compact harbor]

Use ffmpeg with Python binding, there is a library you can use.
!pypi ffmpeg-python

!pypi ffmpeg-python

[unkempt canyon]

ffmpeg-python v0.2.0

Python bindings for FFmpeg - with complex filtering support

[tiny ibex]

Hmm but I recommend raw FFmpeg

Just my wish

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[gleaming hatch]

(Discord.py) My mind is melting while trying to understand Cooldown and CooldownMapping 🤦

I wanted to detect spam messages that is sent to every channel...

And CooldownMapping isn't documented, how can i learn about these or could someone explain me?

[slate swan]

!custom-cooldown

[unkempt canyon]

Cooldowns in discord.py

Cooldowns can be used in discord.py to rate-limit. In this example, we're using it in an on_message.

from discord.ext import commands

message_cooldown = commands.CooldownMapping.from_cooldown(1.0, 60.0, commands.BucketType.user)

@bot.event
async def on_message(message):
    bucket = message_cooldown.get_bucket(message)
    retry_after = bucket.update_rate_limit()
    if retry_after:
        await message.channel.send(f"Slow down! Try again in {retry_after} seconds.")
    else:
        await message.channel.send("Not ratelimited!")

from_cooldown takes the amount of update_rate_limit()s needed to trigger the cooldown, the time in which the cooldown is triggered, and a BucketType.

[slate swan]

this may be helpful

[gleaming hatch]

So, what CooldownMapping and get_bucket does? And what is a bucket

Sorry if i am being dumb, my mind is melting right now :(.

i can see private channels

[boreal ravine]

are you sure it doesnt have admin or anything

[leaden jasper]

i was helping the other guy

[leaden jasper]

yep

it doesn't have admin

[upbeat otter]

I was just stating that both are the same ,-,

[leaden jasper]

ctx.guild.channels just lists all channels

even if u cant see them

[boreal ravine]

no idea but you could loop through the the guilds channels permissions and see if the bot has the view_channel permission and if it does, append it to a list or something

[valid barn]

thx

[leaden jasper]

how can i check for permissions with a channel object

[visual island]

permissions_for(guild.me)

[boreal ravine]

^^ you can iterate through that and check if your bot has a certain permission

[leaden jasper]

ok ill use that ty

how to check if a channel is a category

[visual island]

isinstance(channel, CategoryChannel)

[leaden jasper]

oh okay

thanks

[valid barn]

    roles = [role.name for role in ctx.author.roles]
    print(roles)
    rolename = await client.wait_for('message', check = check, timeout = 20)
    if rolename in roles:
      await ctx.send(embed=discord.Embed(description="Ok!!"))
    else:
      await ctx.send(embed=discord.Embed(description="You don't have that role!"))

sends "you dont have that role" even though i do. i printed the list roles out and the role i wrote was there? whats the problem?

[maiden fable]

Try printing rolename

[valid barn]

oh wait i think i got it

i was supposed to write rolename.content instead?

[maiden fable]

Yea

rolename is a discord.Message object

[valid barn]

?

[valid barn]

is the content with a ()?

[slate swan]

no

[maiden fable]

No it's a property

[boreal ravine]

imagine danny made that a method

[valid barn]

k

[boreal ravine]

and not a property

🤔

[valid barn]

thx it works

now how do i get a role from its role name alone?

is there any other way than using utils?

[boreal ravine]

i dont think so

[valid barn]

ok how do i use it with utils

[slate swan]

you would have to loop thru guild.roles , but utils.get does the same already

[slate swan]

!d discord.utils.get

[unkempt canyon]

discord.utils.get

discord.utils.get(iterable, **attrs)```
A helper that returns the first element in the iterable that meets all the traits passed in `attrs`. This is an alternative for [`find()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.utils.find "discord.utils.find").

When multiple attributes are specified, they are checked using logical AND, not logical OR. Meaning they have to meet every attribute passed in and not one of them.

To have a nested attribute search (i.e. search by `x.y`) then pass in `x__y` as the keyword argument.

If nothing is found that matches the attributes passed, then `None` is returned.

Examples

Basic usage...

[slate swan]

so basically utils.get(guild.roles , name='role name')

[valid barn]

k thx

do i use await?

[maiden fable]

No

[valid barn]

therole = utils.get(ctx.guild.roles , name='role name') like this?

@maiden fable@slate swan??

[slate swan]

sure

[valid barn]

it says utils is undefined

[visual island]

discord.utils

[valid barn]

from discord import utils?

[maiden fable]

Yea

[spring verge]

is there a way to tell with pillow where the text is ending? like over here how to tell pillow that I want to put discriminator after the username

I know I could just join the two strings

but then I also want different fonts for them

[valid barn]

code:```py
therole = utils.get(ctx.guild.roles , name=rolename)
print(therole)

```py
None``` why?

[tawdry perch]

wrong role name

[valid barn]

roles = [role.name for role in ctx.author.roles]
print(roles)
rolename = await client.wait_for('message', check = check, timeout = 20)
if rolename.content in roles:
   await ctx.send(embed=discord.Embed(description="Ok!!"))
   therole = utils.get(ctx.guild.roles , name=rolename)
   print(therole)

how it is wrong??

[boreal ravine]

do rolename.content in the name kwarg.

[final iron]

Claim a help channel or ask in #python-discussion

[spring verge]

I thought help channel is for coding related errors etc?

[valid barn]

ohh i always forget

[boreal ravine]

isn't related to discord.py is it

!ytdl this also

[zinc mural]

is discord.py

[boreal ravine]

no, is youtube_dl

[final iron]

This would also be appropriate

[slate swan]

lmao i see this ytdl error everywhere today

how do i send a img to discord webhoook

[mental wadi]

is js better than python for good bots ?

[slate swan]

ye

[sage otter]

It’s all preference

[slate swan]

send takes an file/files kwarg , use it

!d discord.Webhook.send

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Webhook.send

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

Sends a message using the webhook.

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

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

If the `embed` parameter is provided, it must be of type [`Embed`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Embed "discord.Embed") and it must be a rich embed type. You cannot mix the `embed` parameter with the `embeds` parameter, which must be a [`list`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#list "(in Python v3.9)") of [`Embed`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Embed "discord.Embed") objects to send.

[valid barn]

shopp.append({'name', rolename.content, 'price':price.content, 'desc':desc.content})

it underlines this 'price':price.content, 'desc':desc.content}) and says invalid syntax why? 😭

[vocal plover]

because you put a comma after 'name' not a colon

that makes it a set, not a dict, so when you treat it as a dict later its seen as an error

[slate swan]

Good morning guys

[tawdry perch]

Good day

[visual island]

good night

[slate swan]

!d print spring dale senior school 10 times

[unkempt canyon]

print

print(*objects, sep=' ', end='\n', file=sys.stdout, flush=False)```
Print *objects* to the text stream *file*, separated by *sep* and followed by *end*. *sep*, *end*, *file*, and *flush*, if present, must be given as keyword arguments.

All non-keyword arguments are converted to strings like [`str()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#str "str") does and written to the stream, separated by *sep* and followed by *end*. Both *sep* and *end* must be strings; they can also be `None`, which means to use the default values. If no *objects* are given, [`print()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#print "print") will just write *end*.

The *file* argument must be an object with a `write(string)` method; if it is not present or `None`, [`sys.stdout`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/sys.html#sys.stdout "sys.stdout") will be used. Since printed arguments are converted to text strings, [`print()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#print "print") cannot be used with binary mode file objects. For these, use `file.write(...)` instead.

[visual island]

hmm?

[valid barn]

oh tysm

[west shuttle]

can i ask a question?

[slate swan]

thats what the channel is meant for

[gaunt ice]

oof

[west shuttle]

Lol

So i have a thanks counter... all good but when im trying to get the data its just showing []

[gaunt ice]

ur pfp is pog

[gaunt ice]

um I don't understand

[west shuttle]

Thx lol

[slate swan]

it that some database , list , dict or smthing?

also , show related code

[west shuttle]

Wait

[west shuttle]

    @commands.command()
    async def thanks(self, ctx, member: discord.Member):
        thanks = await self.db.execute("SELECT * from thxcounter where user_id = ?",(member.id,))
        counter = await thanks.fetchall()
        print(counter)
        em = discord.Embed(
            title=f"{member}'s thanks",
            description=f"**You have a total of `{counter}` thanks!**")
        await ctx.send(embed=em)

[visual island]

have you commit when updating the db?

[slate swan]

it means there's no data for the member..... , how do you insert data?

[west shuttle]

Yea

[west shuttle]

await self.db.execute("INSERT INTO thxcounter (user_id, thanks) VALUES (?, ?)", (member.id, + 1))
        await self.db.commit()

[slate swan]

and at what event does it take place? you can have a print statement there to check if its actually getting added

( also ,as per your code the +1 changes the thanks to 1 , not add 1 to it.)

[west shuttle]

Ik

[west shuttle]

What i need to print?

[slate swan]

https://inloop.github.io/sqlite-viewer/ open the db here and try checking if the member id is in db

[visual island]

you need to fetch with Cursor object

[slate swan]

you miss a , in the (member.id, + 1)

add one at the last

[visual island]

await self.db.cursor().fetchall() try that

[west shuttle]

AttributeError: 'Result' object has no attribute 'fetchall'

[visual island]

they dont, only a one elem tuple needs the last extra comma

[slate swan]

oh , i see

[west shuttle]

^^^^^^

[visual island]

'Result' object?

show updated code

[west shuttle]

@commands.command()
    async def thanks(self, ctx, member: discord.Member):
        thanks = await self.db.execute("SELECT * from thxcounter where user_id = ?",(member.id,))
        counter = await self.db.cursor().fetchall()
        print(counter)
        em = discord.Embed(
            title=f"{member}'s thanks",
            description=f"**You have a total of `{counter}` thanks!**")
        await ctx.send(embed=em)

[visual island]

what is self.db? Cursor object? Or Connection?

[west shuttle]

its aiosqlite

import discord
from discord.ext import commands, tasks
import aiosqlite

class thanks(commands.Cog):
    def __init__(self, bot):
        self.bot = bot
        self.db = None
        self.bot.loop.create_task(self.connect_database())

[tawdry perch]

erm.. how should I handle this? ```py
disnake.ext.commands.errors.NoEntryPointError: Extension 'MyBot.cogs.moderation.init' has no 'setup' function

[visual island]

show connect_database() method

[west shuttle]

async def connect_database(self):
        self.db = await aiosqlite.connect("main.db")

[visual island]

you can see if file.startswith("__") then dont load it

[tawdry perch]

oo

[visual island]

should be good, one sec I'll look through aiosqlite docs

[tawdry perch]

Currently the loop appends the extensions to list, is there a way to not do that add without breaking the loop

[visual island]

so... Result class is either undocumented or it doesn't exists..

[visual island]

continue keyword?

[tawdry perch]

hm

[visual island]

will pass the rest of the code inside the loop and go to the next elem

[west shuttle]

Thats why i did thanks.fetchall()

[tawdry perch]

if file.endswith('.py') and not file.startswith("__") 
    ...#do stuff
else:
    continue

[snow flare]

So I am using pycord to create a discord bot, and I am trying to implement a verification for the users, through a message, under which you have to react with a tick.
But when I use the on_row_reaction_add function, I get a correct payload with the channel id, guild id, user id, and everything else. But when I try to get the member that made the reaction using the user_id from the payload, it just returns None. This is how I try to get the member:

member = self.get_user(payload.user_id)

[visual island]

ah yea, Connection.execute() returns Cursor object so your code is fine

[visual island]

sure

[visual island]

enable intents.members

[loud junco]

why is it not an emoji =.=

[west shuttle]

So what is the problem

[snow flare]

how do I do that?

[visual island]

what type is user_id? INTEGER?

[loud junco]

ya

[west shuttle]

Yes.

[snow flare]

yes

[visual island]

!intents

[unkempt canyon]

Using intents in discord.py

Intents are a feature of Discord that tells the gateway exactly which events to send your bot. By default, discord.py has all intents enabled, except for the Members and Presences intents, which are needed for events such as on_member and to get members' statuses.

To enable one of these intents, you need to first go to the Discord developer portal, then to the bot page of your bot's application. Scroll down to the Privileged Gateway Intents section, then enable the intents that you need.

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

from discord import Intents
from discord.ext import commands

intents = Intents.default()
intents.members = True

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

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

[west shuttle]

Bruh

[snow flare]

thanks

[visual island]

can the bot see the emoji?

[visual island]

can you try do SELECT * FROM thxcounter just in case

[loud junco]

its in the server

[snow flare]

@visual island I've added the intents, and still doesn't work. For some reason it still returns None

[loud junco]

this is working tho

[west shuttle]

Thats the code i have

[loud junco]

wait.. u cant do that with custom emoji???

[visual island]

probably youre using a message's id instead of the emoji's id. How did you copy the emoji id?

[loud junco]

i right click the emoji

lemme try again

[visual island]

show code where you load the intents

[visual island]

without the WHERE ...

[west shuttle]

Oh

[loud junco]

906181459172282412-921026726304317470

[visual island]

thats the message id

[loud junco]

this is the message id

ik

[visual island]

yea

[loud junco]

921026726304317470

this is emoji id right?

[visual island]

no

[loud junco]

:/

[tawdry perch]

rip it can't load extensions with that method

[visual island]

channelid-messageid

[visual island]

messageid

[loud junco]

oo

i right clicked the emoji

the copy id below right?

[west shuttle]

thats the msg

go to server settings - emojis - copy id

[visual island]

\putemojihere

type that thing

[loud junco]

:pogchop:

no nitro

[west shuttle]

@visual island

[loud junco]

:pogchop:

[visual island]

if you print member.id does it print the same id that's in the tuple?

[visual island]

why not

[tawdry perch]

I keep getting "extesion alrd loaded", even after I stop the bot and restart it, why is that?

is it cached or smth

[visual island]

no

[west shuttle]

Yes

[loud junco]

🥲

what id is this emoji

[visual island]

cache should be restarted after you stop the program

[loud junco]

921028171145576478?

[visual island]

its not a custom emoji so None

[tawdry perch]

hm

[loud junco]

oo

[visual island]

show code

[valid barn]

is there something like json but it uses lists instead of dicts?

[visual island]

no, but why

[tawdry perch]

ext = []

for folder in os.listdir('MyBot/cogs/moderation'):
    if folder.endswith('.py') and not folder.startswith("__"):
        bot.load_extension(f"MyBot.cogs.moderation.{folder[:-3]}")
        ext.append(f"MyBot.cogs.moderation.{folder[:-3]}")
    else:
        continue
 
    for subfolder in os.listdir('MyBot/cogs/other'):
        if subfolder.endswith('.py') and not subfolder.startswith("__"):
            bot.load_extension(f"MyBot.cogs.other.{subfolder[:-3]}")
            ext.append(f"MyBot.cogs.other.{subfolder[:-3]}")
        else:
            continue

[visual island]

you can just do things with json eg.

{
    "list": [...] 
} 

[visual island]

dont do a nested loop there

[tawdry perch]

It works with nested loop, why is that bad?

[visual island]

"it works"? You said it raised extension already loaded

[tawdry perch]

I fixed it

I removed the bot.load_extension from loop, and loaded ext which is a list

[west shuttle]

YYes

[visual island]

the inner loop will be executed x times. x is the number of times of the outer loop got execute so it will load it multiple times

[tawdry perch]

hm I see, so I should keep them seperate?

[visual island]

yes

[heavy folio]

need help with commands.MinimalHelpCommand, here's my code: https://paste.pythondiscord.com/jixatocale.properties

without any args https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/381965515721146390/921026829710684180/unknown.png

[tawdry perch]

I'll fix it, thx 😄

what is "jishaku"?

[heavy folio]

!pypi jishaku

[unkempt canyon]

jishaku v2.3.2

A discord.py extension including useful tools for bot development and debugging.

[slate swan]

Are you using disnake?

[tawdry perch]

ye

[visual island]

, your code is 100% correct

[slate swan]

!pypi disnake-jishaku

[unkempt canyon]

disnake-jishaku v2.6.5

A disnake extension including useful tools for bot development and debugging.

[tawdry perch]

I was just curious of what that was because I have seen it few times

[west shuttle]

[] means list, right? how do i make that list to show only the counter?

[slate swan]

its a bot extension maintained by kraots

[heavy folio]

^^^

[visual island]

SELECT counter FROM table

[slate swan]

one of the things it can do

[heavy folio]

you can also reload/unload extensions and many other stuff

[slate swan]

log out to

[heavy folio]

for some reason logout doesnt work for me smoetimes

[slate swan]

weird mine does

[heavy folio]

it just auto logs back in after awhile

[visual island]

whats the issue

[tawdry perch]

those are in build features, right?

[slate swan]

yes

check the pypi

[tawdry perch]

nice

[heavy folio]

if i do .help command_name, it responds with plain text (although i have this:```py
async def send_command_help(self, command):
embed = discord.Embed(title=self.get_command_signature(command))
embed = discord.Embed(
title="Help",
color=COLOR,
timestamp=datetime.datetime.now()
)
embed.set_author(
name=self.context.bot.user.name,
icon_url=self.context.bot.user.display_avatar.url
)

    alias = command.aliases
    if alias:
        embed.add_field(name="Aliases", value=", ".join(alias), inline=False)

    channel = self.get_destination()
    await channel.send(embed=embed)

```if i do .help without args then it'll send the embed (as it should)

[slate swan]

it will show all the commands

[tawdry perch]

so it's like disnake, but different name

[slate swan]

which?

[tawdry perch]

and + features*

jishaku

[slate swan]

no its an extension

[tawdry perch]

oo

[slate swan]

for bot developers

you load it as a cog

[heavy folio]

https://jishaku.readthedocs.io

[tawdry perch]

so it wont change my code?

[slate swan]

bot.load_extension("jishaku") even if you download the disnake version

[slate swan]

no its an extension

[tawdry perch]

nice

[slate swan]

yep

[tawdry perch]

maybe I could add that

[visual island]

maybe you have an external lib that changes the help command? Maybe jishaku?

[slate swan]

pretty useful

[heavy folio]

hmm

[visual island]

yea?

[heavy folio]

let's see

[tawdry perch]

!remind 23h read dis/install it

[unkempt canyon]

Not in my house!

Sorry, you can't do that here!

[west shuttle]

Thats the new respond

[tawdry perch]

brehh

[visual island]

so, its working?

[heavy folio]

now it's like this

also how do i hide jishaku from help

[visual island]

thats the wanted output isn't it?

[west shuttle]

No.. I want to show it as one number like: 3

[heavy folio]

nope

it should be like this ^

[visual island]

in that case, you have 3 results with that query, if you want 1 query only, then use fetchone()

also slice it to 0

[lament mesa]

cursor.fetchall() returns a list of tuples

[tawdry perch]

indexing that output is fun

[west shuttle]

I want all to connect to one number

i guess i have a solution

igtg

[visual island]

for the Help field use command.description (I personally use command.callback.__doc__ hehe). And for the Aliases field your current code is right, just the command has no aliases

[sage otter]

For the doc string?

[visual island]

yep

[sage otter]

Command.help does the same thing.

!d discord.ext.commands.Command.help

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Command.help

The long help text for the command.

[sage otter]

That’s what I use atleast for doc strings.

[visual island]

it doesn't include indentation stuff iirc

[sage otter]

oh?
