[red sundial]

what fork do you use?

[slate swan]

disnake

[red sundial]

very cool

[slate swan]

yeah

[red sundial]

i use pycord its very shitty

lol

[slate swan]

just move to disnake lol

[red sundial]

i will at some point

[slate swan]

https://guide.disnake.dev/

very easy

[cloud dawn]

This exactly

[red sundial]

yeah

pycord is not pythonic at all

[slate swan]

dang

[red sundial]

very poor code

[slate swan]

that sucks

[cloud dawn]

pycord gave me a stroke

[red sundial]

like if you look at their examples

its just so bad

[slate swan]

let me see

[red sundial]

the only reason i picked pycord is because it doesn't require any changes from dpy code

[slate swan]

disnake is the same

[red sundial]

oh really

[slate swan]

you just change the word discord to disnake and your done

[cloud dawn]

Internals of dispy is worse

[slate swan]

im not sure i havent checked

[red sundial]

oh i didn't know that

[unkempt canyon]

Not gonna happen.

No documentation found for the requested symbol.

[slate swan]

panda really?

[cloud dawn]

😂

[slate swan]

😭

[slate swan]

now you do

pycord really

@bot.command()
async def joined(ctx, member: discord.Member):
    """Says when a member joined."""
    await ctx.send(f"{member.name} joined in {member.joined_at}")

joined?

[red sundial]

lollll

[slate swan]

yes

the inv with the button

ikr

urls work too

[slate swan]

yeah

[ruby flame]

ok i have a complex here...
my frens keep telling me to use discord.js but i dont wanna learn new lang
so pls tell me python can do all the things which you can do in discord.js

[slate swan]

you can probably do everything djs can

?

Can anyone help?

[slate swan]

anything you do in djs is possible with python

[cloud dawn]

!traceback

[unkempt canyon]

Please provide the full traceback for your exception in order to help us identify your issue.

A full traceback could look like:

Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "tiny", line 3, in
        do_something()
    File "tiny", line 2, in do_something
        a = 6 / b
ZeroDivisionError: division by zero

The best way to read your traceback is bottom to top.

• Identify the exception raised (in this case ZeroDivisionError)
• Make note of the line number (in this case 2), and navigate there in your program.
• Try to understand why the error occurred (in this case because b is 0).

To read more about exceptions and errors, please refer to the PyDis Wiki or the official Python tutorial.

[slate swan]

yeah

[cloud dawn]

And vice versa

And reversed

[slate swan]

Idk what u mean by that lol

did you provide an id inside the get_channel?

[slate swan]

Yeah, where the lines are

why are you even hiding the id

Idk tbh

you cant do anything with it

[slate swan]

well . your error says that you didnt

also , i dont see the channel being defined inside the function

[ruby flame]

so.... ik most are similar.... just forks of discord.py.... i am fed up now....
pls just tell me one name(library) to start with making bot

[slate swan]

ill suggest disnake ( if looking for a fork)
or hikari ( a non-forked library )

im to slow

[slate swan]

Ill send in a bit. Taking a shit rn 🤣

🧑‍🦯

alright

[ruby flame]

i can see u have experience in both... soo like which ones comparitively less hassle to setup?

[slate swan]

dpy

[cloud dawn]

disnake

[slate swan]

hikari seems over the top

disnake is like perfect

[slate swan]

both of them are easy , if you aware about discord.py syntax -> go for disnake

if you havent started with anything yet hikari is worth trying , its faster with cache and is well written

[cloud dawn]

tbf we need a whole new library.

[ruby flame]

comparing both, which one has more features?

[cloud dawn]

Disnake is way more supported since it is a fork of dpy

[slate swan]

disnake is more stable and quite easier to get help with since most of people here use it , hikari is a bit hard if you're not too experienced

Any way to make discord bot livestream a clip?

[slate swan]

youtube together?

[cloud dawn]

no

[ruby flame]

k imma go w/ dissnake

[slate swan]

great

!pypi disnake

[unkempt canyon]

disnake v2.3.0

A Python wrapper for the Discord API

[slate swan]

panda really

xd

[slate swan]

mp3

🚶

[cloud dawn]

😂

[slate swan]

why?

[slate swan]

not possible yet

bot's cant stream in a vc

[cloud dawn]

They can..?

[slate swan]

how?

[slate swan]

They can?

[cloud dawn]

It's just where he is getting the mp3 from that is the matter.

[cloud dawn]

A radio is a thing lol

[slate swan]

Made the clip myself

[cloud dawn]

Idk what you mean by stream you can just use playback.

It's certainly not easy though

[slate swan]

https://github.com/discord/discord-api-docs/discussions/3234

[ruby flame]

i believe i can watch discord.py yt tutorials for starting in disnake?

[cloud dawn]

I can think of a lot of reasons why this would never ever happen

[slate swan]

just the same you just have to change the word discord to disnake

[edgy finch]

watch discord.py tutorials again

[ruby flame]

oh right right lol

[slate swan]

!d discord

[unkempt canyon]

discord

In order to work with the library and the Discord API in general, we must first create a Discord Bot account.

Creating a Bot account is a pretty straightforward process.

Similar names: nextcord.discord, disnake.discord

[slate swan]

and the examples folder in github repo

[slate swan]

it is but its againts tos

[cloud dawn]

No + we don't condone them.

[slate swan]

is against rule 5

[edgy finch]

ya

[ruby flame]

thx

[slate swan]

TOS

i just wanted to make one to count how many servers I am in

[cloud dawn]

time to sleep

[slate swan]

yw

but I get an event loop closed everytime

[slate swan]

count them yourself ez

[slate swan]

🏃‍♂️ this is the time i wake up at lol

[slate swan]

😩

[slate swan]

just go to some bot's panel

and log in

it shows how many servers u r in

For all problems use this dude @unkempt canyon

[edgy finch]

ya ik

@unkempt canyon how to make bots

[slate swan]

it can work as a interpreter ( !e command ) , or lookup for the library docs . not actually talk lol

[edgy finch]

ik

duh

[ruby flame]

if the devs want they surely can?

i tried a bot called discortics

[edgy finch]

okay...

nice

[slate swan]

oo

[edgy finch]

i made a bot but hes not respondind

ding

[slate swan]

@slate swan

myloop.start()

bot.run("jojojojoj")

[edgy finch]

responding*

okay tysm

[slate swan]

h will always be None

?

since your bot is not running and you defined that variable

[edgy finch]

???

[slate swan]

Lemme see the error i get when i move it into the area

[slate swan]

any error or something

[edgy finch]

can u put the correct codes to make a bot

[slate swan]

@bot.event
async def on_connect():
    print (f'Advertise bot \nLogged in as: {bot.user}')

h = bot.get_channel(706675003952857109)

@tasks.loop(seconds = 62)
async def myloop():
    await h.send("Remember guys! No profanity :)")


myloop.start()

[edgy finch]

tysm

[slate swan]

inside the function....

put it inside your task loop

oh im sorry, its been like a year since ive coded lol

@bot.event
async def on_connect():
    print (f'Advertise bot \nLogged in as: {bot.user}')


@tasks.loop(seconds = 62)
async def myloop():
    h = bot.get_channel(706675003952857109)
    await h.send("Remember guys! No profanity :)")

[edgy finch]

@slate swan can u put the correct code then

[slate swan]

you can start with defining a bot variable which would be a discord.ext.commands.Bot variable , and running it using bot.run()

[edgy finch]

tysm

[edgy finch]

k

[slate swan]

?

[slate swan]

this guy is confusing me

why is he thanking me

[edgy finch]

ya, thank u so much

[slate swan]

they probably thought your code was directed to them

[edgy finch]

so this one is the correct ?

[slate swan]

File "C:\Users\Danny\Desktop\VSProjects\securitybot\main.py", line 28, in myloop
    await h.send("Remember guys! No profanity :)")
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'send
```@slate swan

[slate swan]

the id is wrong , please recheck it

[edgy finch]

which one is correct

[slate swan]

706675003952857109

i just right clicked on the channel and pasted after clicking copy id

#706675003952857109 @slate swan see the channel mentioned?

[visual island]

put await bot.wait_until_ready() in the tasks.loop

[slate swan]

?

@tasks.loop(seconds = 62)
async def myloop():
    h = bot.get_channel(706675003952857109)
    await bot.wait_until_ready()
    await h.send("Remember guys! No profanity :)")
``` @visual island

right there?

[visual island]

before get_channel

[slate swan]

ohh

[slate swan]

if you see it as #deleted-channel , the id is invalid

@tasks.loop(seconds = 62)
async def myloop():
    await bot.wait_until_ready()
    h = bot.get_channel(706675003952857109)
    await h.send("Remember guys! No profanity :)")

[slate swan]

so- do i do #<706675003952857109>

[slate swan]

recheck the id of the channel pls

and yes , do what icy said

[slate swan]

i did

@slate swan```py
@tasks.loop(seconds = 62)
async def myloop():
await bot.wait_until_ready()
h = bot.get_channel(706675003952857109)
await h.send("Remember guys! No profanity :)")

right here, right?

yea , should work

[visual island]

you forgot to await something

[slate swan]

do i need to await my bot.run?

[visual island]

no

but

show your full traceback

[slate swan]

ok, so there is no way to count the servers that I am in other than manually doing it?

[final iron]

What do you mean?

Returns a list of the guilds the bot is in

[slate swan]

I am talking about my own account, which would be a selfbot

hes using a selfbot

they are doing that for their user account

[final iron]

bruv

Yall sent rule 5?

[slate swan]

i seen it

just go to dyno.gg or some site

it shows number of servers u r in

[slate swan]

is sure did, thank you

late night programing by yourself is the best

[final iron]

My commands_ran command actually kicked my ass

[slate swan]

😭

ctrl+c , ctrl+v from stackoverflow is best

[final iron]

!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.

[final iron]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/oguzewifam.py

This actually looks like shit

[slate swan]

but then its from 2004😔

[final iron]

It works doe

[slate swan]

seems good to me , except for the use of f strings

[final iron]

wdym?

How are f-strings bad?

[slate swan]

sql injection but your fine

f strings in sql queries is bad

hes not getting user input

[final iron]

Why?

[slate swan]

yea its fine there , just saying

[final iron]

Yeah ik about that

[slate swan]

plus you can inject anything with f string

[final iron]

I'm not getting any user input

But lets say I wanted to store a welcome channel, how would I do it?

[slate swan]

https://github.com/arogozhnikov/python3_with_pleasure/issues/3

INSERT INTO table_name (column1, column2, column3, ...)
VALUES (value1, value2, value3, ...);

ez

[slate swan]

execute("insert into table atrr VALUES ( ?)" , (value_to_insert,))

[final iron]

So how is this better than an f stirng?

[slate swan]

thats how you dont get sql injections

? gets replaced by the value

[slate swan]

use f strings still

but just in that format

[final iron]

I do use the format you sent

[slate swan]

its the same thing?

[final iron]

wdym?

[slate swan]

its the same thing

[final iron]

    async def add_commands_ran(self, ctx: commands.Context) -> bool:
        cursor = await self.connection.cursor()
        await cursor.execute(f"SELECT commands_ran FROM commands_ran WHERE user_id={ctx.author.id} and guild_id={ctx.guild.id}")
        is_none = await cursor.fetchone()
        if is_none is None:
            await cursor.execute(f"""INSERT INTO commands_ran(user_id, guild_id, commands_ran)
                                    Values({ctx.author.id}, {ctx.guild.id}, 1)""")
            await self.connection.commit()
            return True
        else:
            await cursor.execute(f"""DELETE FROM commands_ran WHERE user_id={ctx.author.id} and guild_id={ctx.guild.id}""")
            await cursor.execute(f"""REPLACE INTO commands_ran(user_id, guild_id, commands_ran)
                                    Values({ctx.author.id}, {ctx.guild.id}, {is_none[0] + 1})""")
            await self.connection.commit()
            return True

This is what I use to add the commands that were ran

I shouldn't be worried about sql injection in this case, correct?

[slate swan]

Yeah your good

sql injection happens on user input

[final iron]

So if I was doing something like, storing a help channel, I would want to use this correct?

[flat flower]

Hey, who wants to have a fun conversation with me in the voice chat? I will share the topic with you when you join

[spring flax]

The variable name though lol

[final iron]

is_none

I had no idea what to name it

My naming is actually shit

[slate swan]

always use it

its good practice

[final iron]

I'm going to get bullied when I publish my bot on github

[slate swan]

[final iron]

Is it worth to manually go through all my current code and change it?

[slate swan]

if it doesnt take user input no but just use it from now on

[slate swan]

since you're not taking any string input from the user , it doesnt really matter in your case

[final iron]

Oh wait, I have a custom prefix command which takes user input. Would I have to change it to prevent injection?

[slate swan]

and here's the reason why the placeholder prevents the injection ```
Between Cache and Execution, there is an additional step: Placeholder Replacement. At this point, the placeholders are replaced with the user’s data. However, the query is already pre-compiled (Binding), so the final query will not go through compilation phase again. For this reason, the user-provided data will always be interpreted as a simple string and cannot modify the original query’s logic. Thus, the query will be immune to SQL Injection vulnerabilities for that data.

sql injection happens i.e you wait for a name and he inserts sql statements and you will blindly execute the statement which can be used for bad stuff

it's not the query but just a value if you use placeholders

[final iron]

So is this bad?
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/efolipukew.rust

[spring flax]

if is_none is None lol usually I name that variable data

[slate swan]

if youre using place holders your fine

[final iron]

What are those?

[slate swan]

?

[slate swan]

for example if i had py f"INSERT INTO prefixes ( id , prefix ) VALUES ( {id} , {prefix}" i'd change it to py f"INSERT INTO prefixes ( id , prefix ) VALUES ( ? , ?)", (id , prefix )
nothing too complicated

[spring flax]

why still f strings though

[final iron]

Would I add quotes around prefix since its meant to be text?

[slate swan]

sorry i just copy paste the above part

[slate swan]

doesnt matter

[final iron]

This is the table structure

[slate swan]

ill assume its a variable since if its a constant no point of using f string exist

[final iron]

I meant like this:

INSERT INTO prefixes ( id , prefix ) VALUES ( ? , '?'), (id , prefix )

[spring flax]

is this aiosqlite?

[slate swan]

you can do that too , but it doesnt matter

[slate swan]

quotes

[slate swan]

yes

[slate swan]

sqlite3 + aiosqlite same

[final iron]

So it automatically gets converted to text?

[slate swan]

yessir

[final iron]

Good

[slate swan]

just the async bridge

[final iron]

When I don't use quotes sqlite3 yells at me (if its meant to be text)

[slate swan]

its just like doing str(prefix)

it doesnt execute it as a statement but as a str

[slate swan]

well raw sql would do that but not a python sql query

[final iron]

            await cursor.execute(f"""REPLACE INTO prefixes(guild_id, prefix)
                                    Values({ctx.guild.id}, '{prefix}')""")

If I removed the quotes around {prefix} I get a lot of angry errors

So do I just not have to worry about that if I'm using the question marks?

[slate swan]

how can i make it so i can check a date and how much time has passed since that date

[slate swan]

nope . it works like a charm with/without the quotes

[final iron]

Thanks

[slate swan]

use the datetime object and subtract it from current datetime

[final iron]

So I'll change this command and start using the question marks instead

[slate swan]

can i store a datetime obj in a db?

[final iron]

Why not use a timestamp?

[heavy radish]

Whaaaat?

[final iron]

Thats what I do to check my uptime

[slate swan]

its for a sober command ❤️

[heavy radish]

Oh

Don't kill me

I'm sorry. Figure it out

[slate swan]

probably

[final iron]

I meant the .timestamp() (method or whatever its called) from the datetime lib

[slate swan]

ahhhhh mhmmm

https://www.sqlite.org/lang_datefunc.html

[final iron]

Store the timestamp and subtract from the current time

Works like a charm for my uptime command

Shit I lost the code

[slate swan]

🏃‍♂️ i save the first datetime for the boot as a bot property and subtract it from current datetime to get the uptime

[honest vessel]

UPDATE prefixes SET prefix=? WHERE guild_id=?

[edgy finch]

dont break the last rule

of this group

no foul language

[spring flax]

anyone knows where self.persistent_views_added = True is needed for making persistent dropdown?

[final iron]

Literally what I do but I use a timestamp

[heavy radish]

Nvm, something is still wrong

[final iron]

Since discord auto converts

[slate swan]

wrong indentation

[final iron]

I can just pass the timestamp into <t:timestamp>

[heavy radish]

aghhh

[final iron]

And I'm chilling

[heavy radish]

Thank you

[slate swan]

yeah an unix timestamp is a great thing to use :p

i put it in a yaml codeblock so i need it to be a timedelta

[edgy finch]

@slate swan still my bot is not responding

[slate swan]

show code

[edgy finch]

wat to d

[final iron]

I just send it in a normal embed description

[honest vessel]

ctx.message.created_at

[edgy finch]

okay

[final iron]

Looks plain

I might want to spice my embeds up

[honest vessel]

maybe print what timezone

[slate swan]

looks good but you should show how much time has passed

[edgy finch]

bot.event
async def on_connect():
print (f'Advertise bot \nLogged in as: {bot.user}')

@tasks.loop(seconds = 62)
async def myloop():
h = bot.get_channel(706675003952857109)

[final iron]

So use a different converter or add another line?

[slate swan]

other code>

[edgy finch]

wait

[slate swan]

make a new line that says
time online: 3h 1day

i just mention the uptime in my botinfo cmd

[slate swan]

or something else

[slate swan]

do u even run the bot?

[final iron]

So <R:timestamp>

[spring flax]

@slate swan would you happen to know

[heavy radish]

The commands work but when I do the second command help g. The first command executes with it

[slate swan]

wut

[slate swan]

lemme read the docs , gimme a moment

[slate swan]

you use hikari?

🧑‍🦯

[edgy finch]

im sending the code in dm @slate swan

its difficult for me

[slate swan]

ive been using hikari even before discord.py was discontinued

[honest vessel]

@heavy radish checkup invoke decoration for group commands

[slate swan]

nice

[final iron]

Am I doing anything wrong: <R:{round(self.bot.start_up_time)}>

?

Its not showing as a timestamp

[heavy radish]

Ahh, Thank you

[spring flax]

what's bot.start_up_time

[edgy finch]

idk the codes are not working

i mean i cannot copy and paste

i tried

[final iron]

Unix timestamp. Doesn't matter. Its working for my previous timestamp

This is the result I'm getting

[slate swan]

it must be like <t:timestampinteger:R>

<t:164247925:R>

[final iron]

Oh alr. My first timestamp was like <t:{round(self.bot.start_up_time)}>

And it was working

[slate swan]

yeah but rn you have <R:timestamp>

[final iron]

I know

I was confused whether to put it at the end or the beginning

Oh I didn't have to put it because it defaulted to what I wanted

Looking fresh

[slate swan]

can someone send me all the time formats like unix delta and others

[edgy finch]

put it in the end

[slate swan]

The Resources page on our website contains a list of hand-selected learning resources that we regularly recommend to both beginners and experts.

[slate swan]

https://discord.com/developers/docs/reference#message-formatting-timestamp-styles

that one is exact

[slate swan]

thats the very first thing which appears in the url i sent too :p

[honest vessel]

@slate swan thanks does them format work in d.py/disnake or ?

[slate swan]

and what's self here ? a view class?

[slate swan]

yeah but i have to scroll down which is a pain🚶

[slate swan]

it words on any kind of discord message

[final iron]

It's discord

[honest vessel]

ah sweet

[slate swan]

including about mes

[final iron]

You can send the timestamps yourself

<t:63839262281:R>

[astral pilot]

anyone knows a bot that can send a message on a specific time

[honest vessel]

will be in handy showing how longa stream been running

[round robin]

how?
broken code:```py

@bot.event
async def on_command_completion(ctx):error:py

async def on_command_completion(ctx):
^

SyntaxError: invalid syntax```

i dont get whats wrong

[slate swan]

something above is making it give an error

[slate swan]

use tasks loop and check current datetime

[honest vessel]

bot.event?

[round robin]

before that i only have the status setter on ready

[slate swan]

show that part

[honest vessel]

show error msg

[slate swan]

    async def on_command_completion(ctx):
    ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

[round robin]

# Setup the game status task of the bot
@tasks.loop(minutes=1.0)
async def status_task():
    await bot.change_presence(activity=nextcord.Game(config["status"])

thats the status part

[slate swan]

is the event inside the function?

nvm.

you didnt close the bracket

[round robin]

oh

my editor didnt even catch that

[slate swan]

is it smthing like sublime

[round robin]

no

its a editor in browser

[spring flax]

https://github.com/DisnakeDev/disnake/blob/master/examples/views/persistent.py

[slate swan]

ah , its just a custom attribute defined there

thats not really a property of a view

[spring flax]

oh...i see

[slate swan]

if a view has timeout = None , and all the items in the view has a custom id , it will be persistent

[slate swan]

replit ?

[round robin]

is there no get_message function?

i want to get a message then message.edit new stuff

[grim oar]

there's fetch_message

Hmm

[slate swan]

why no get?

[slate swan]

!d discord.TextChannel.fetch_message

[unkempt canyon]

discord.TextChannel.fetch\_message

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

Retrieves a single [`Message`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Message "discord.Message") from the destination.

[grim oar]

O yeah it's in TextChannel

[slate swan]

messages would be too heavy to cache

[slate swan]

yeah thats true

[round robin]

what is /

[slate swan]

everything before it is a positional argument

[slate swan]

you can ignore that py message = await channel.fetch_message(id) will do the job

[slate swan]

^^^

[round robin]

oh wait i need to get the channel first?

[grim oar]

message is probably not sent when discord sends GUILD_CREATE? Idk

[slate swan]

yea , since fetch_message is something limited to channels

[slate swan]

prob not what sarthak said does make sense tho

[round robin]

oh

i knew it used it before

just didnt know how to or what it needed lol

[grim oar]

You can't cache it if it's not sent on establishing a connection tho

[round robin]

getting a channel is just await bot.get_channel(id) right

[grim oar]

You can but eh, why would you

[slate swan]

yes

[round robin]

ok

[grim oar]

It's not a coroutine

[slate swan]

oh yeah that

its static

[grim oar]

it's a subroutine!

[slate swan]

ah wut

[grim oar]

aka a normal function

[slate swan]

oh

lol

[slate swan]

no

you dont await it

[grim oar]

[slate swan]

^

sarthak youre slow

[slate swan]

Caching messages would be a mess for your memory, especially when you look at how much RAM caching only members takes ^^

[slate swan]

i went to discord.py looking for actual reason for get_message not existing lol

[slate swan]

yeah thats true

[spring flax]

though if you have a guild object already, it's better to use guild.get_channel(channel ID)

[slate swan]

😭

it's existent but cannot be used , for the cache thing we talked earlier

[astral pilot]

i didnt get u

[slate swan]

!d discord.ext.tasks.loop use this to loop a function multiple time

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.tasks.loop

discord.ext.tasks.loop(*, seconds=..., minutes=..., hours=..., time=..., count=None, reconnect=True, loop=...)```
A decorator that schedules a task in the background for you with optional reconnect logic. The decorator returns a [`Loop`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/tasks/index.html#discord.ext.tasks.Loop "discord.ext.tasks.Loop").

[slate swan]

!d datetime.datetime.now use this to check current time

[unkempt canyon]

datetime.datetime.now

classmethod datetime.now(tz=None)```
Return the current local date and time.

If optional argument *tz* is `None` or not specified, this is like [`today()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html#datetime.datetime.today "datetime.datetime.today"), but, if possible, supplies more precision than can be gotten from going through a [`time.time()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/time.html#time.time "time.time") timestamp (for example, this may be possible on platforms supplying the C `gettimeofday()` function).

If *tz* is not `None`, it must be an instance of a [`tzinfo`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html#datetime.tzinfo "datetime.tzinfo") subclass, and the current date and time are converted to *tz*’s time zone.

This function is preferred over [`today()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html#datetime.datetime.today "datetime.datetime.today") and [`utcnow()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html#datetime.datetime.utcnow "datetime.datetime.utcnow").

[slate swan]

if the time is same as the time you want , do your stuff , else dont

[astral pilot]

can u do an example 🙂

[slate swan]

from datetime import datetime
from discord.ext import tasks

@tasks.loop(hours = 24) # do it everyday
async def my_task():
   if datetime.now() == your_datetime:
      # do stuff

this keeps running every 24 hrs

[slate swan]

There are multiple examples here
https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/tasks/index.html

hey

discord.ext.commands.errors.ExtensionFailed: Extension 'cogs.Inventory' raised an error: AttributeError: module 'discord.ext.flags' has no attribute 'add_flag'

why i m getting this error

even though add_flag is an attribute

[slate swan]

what library is that?

[spring flax]

discord.py

[slate swan]

there's no ext.flags iirc

never saw that

[spring flax]

There is this

[slate swan]

!d discord.ext.commands.Flag

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Flag

class discord.ext.commands.Flag```
Represents a flag parameter for [`FlagConverter`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.FlagConverter "discord.ext.commands.FlagConverter").

The [`flag()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.flag "discord.ext.commands.flag") function helps create these flag objects, but it is not necessary to do so. These cannot be constructed manually.

[slate swan]

yea but they import it from ext

It's not in ext.flags

a command object has that attribute right?

It's in ext

And there is no add_flag method existing at all.

[slate swan]

there was

maybe updated

[spring flax]

async def run_once(self):
    await self.bot.wait_until_ready()
    self.add_view(DropdownView())

So...I have this function in a cog. I want to import it to the main file and do

loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
loop.create_task(run_once())```
I'm a bit confused on where to put `self`

[slate swan]

i dont know whats new

[slate swan]

why dont u do that in the cog itself?

you can do it inside the __init__ or setup() function

[spring flax]

you mean make the loop there?

[heavy radish]

It worked yesterday

[slate swan]

There never was.

[slate swan]

so maybe different flag library

[spring flax]

s

!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...

[slate swan]

because i was using it

You need to pip install discord-flags to get what you want :)

[spring flax]

set_permissions

[heavy radish]

ok

[heavy radish]

What permission is my BOT missing?

[slate swan]

Well, the library got deleted.

[slate swan]

why tf

[spring flax]

@slate swan sorry for ping but icymi

[slate swan]

I am not the developer of that library, ask the developer why they removed the library ;)

[slate swan]

i mean , you can call that function inside the cog too , why import it in the main file and call it?

[slate swan]

f

[spring flax]

where would I run it?

[heavy radish]

Anyone?

[slate swan]

calling the function? just use the init of the cog , or the setup function , it gets called as soon as the cog is loaded

[slate swan]

probably cant edit a channel

[spring flax]

uhmm could you give an example please excuse my lack of knowledge with functions

[slate swan]

self is a cog there right?

[spring flax]

yeah

[heavy radish]

Which perm is that? I think I've enabled them all

Does the position of the BOT matter?

[vale wing]

Manage channels

[heavy radish]

It's enabled

[slate swan]

class TheCog(Cog):
   def __init__(.... -> None:
      loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
      loop.create_task(self.run_once())

   async def run_once(self):
      await self.bot.wait_until_ready()
      self.add_view(DropdownView())

[vale wing]

If it edits the permission for higher role I guess so

[slate swan]

@spring flax

[heavy radish]

It edits permission of everyone role

[vale wing]

Does the channel have any other overwrites

[vale wing]

It might also be manage roles

[heavy radish]

Alr gave it

[heavy radish]

yes

[slate swan]

the bot should have the permissions you want to edit

along with manage_channels

[heavy radish]

Let me try agaib. Brb

BTW, Ping if u want me to reply

[vale wing]

If it has any overwrites for roles that the bot has and those overwrites are manage channel = false then you need to remove those or add additional overwrites for the bot set to true

Imma check docs maybe it tells what permission exactly you need

!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...

[vale wing]

Yeah it's manage roles

[heavy radish]

I've got that enabled

Let me check other roles

[heavy radish]

None of the other roles have manage role except staff role

which I can't remove

[vale wing]

Try adding overwrite for bot role to manage channel to true

[heavy radish]

Done

Doesn't work. I've tried other server and it works

[vale wing]

Does the bot even have the permission to see the channel

[heavy radish]

yes

[vale wing]

Seems like the issue is in role permissions and/or overwrites

[heavy radish]

What else can I do? Will Admin perms do it

[vale wing]

Not recommended to give admin perms to bots but it will work for sure

[keen talon]

🙂

[vale wing]

@heavy radish you don't mind inviting me to the server so I can see myself?

[heavy radish]

It's not mine

[vale wing]

Oh

[heavy radish]

It's a public server and i can't give power

[spring flax]

it says DiscordSupport object has no attrbiute add_view

    
class DiscordSupport(commands.Cog):
    def __init__(self, bot):
        self.bot = bot
        loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
        loop.create_task(self.run_once())


    async def run_once(self):
        await self.bot.wait_until_ready()
        self.add_view(DropdownView())

[vale wing]

@heavy radish try printing the manage_channel permission for the bot in the channel

It's like

!d discord.TextChannel.permissions_for

[unkempt canyon]

discord.TextChannel.permissions\_for

permissions_for(obj, /)```
Handles permission resolution for the [`Member`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Member "discord.Member") or [`Role`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Role "discord.Role").

This function takes into consideration the following cases...

[vale wing]

And Member has a similar method they work the same iirc

[slate swan]

because self is a cog object , and it does not have that method

[slate swan]

thats the reason why i asked about it here

[spring flax]

yeah I realized but not sure what to do lol

[slate swan]

whaty r u trying to do?

[jovial plover]

    print(before)
    print(after)

Nothing happens.. I have intent enabled as well.

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

[spring flax]

add the persistence view when the bot is ready

[spring flax]

you did @bot.event on top right?

[jovial plover]

😌 ty

What is different between

discord.on_member_update(before, after)
discord.on_user_update(before, after)

[spring flax]

!d discord.on_user_update

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_user\_update

discord.on_user_update(before, after)```
Called when a [`User`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.User "discord.User") updates their profile.

This is called when one or more of the following things change:

• avatar

• username

• discriminator...

[slate swan]

nothing

user is a user obj and member is a member obj

[spring flax]

!d discord.on_member_update

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_member\_update

discord.on_member_update(before, after)```
Called when a [`Member`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Member "discord.Member") updates their profile.

This is called when one or more of the following things change:

• nickname

• roles

• pending...

[spring flax]

what do you mean nothing

[slate swan]

their aliases

[spring flax]

No?

[slate swan]

^

[grim oar]

Member is subclass of User

[slate swan]

^

[grim oar]

Member provides more guild specific functionality

[honest vessel]

why not?

[slate swan]

if you leak your token your bot can do anything so thats why its recommended to only add the perms you need

[honest vessel]

well stop leak token 😄

aka dotenv .env

[slate swan]

not recommended still

[honest vessel]

my bot is owner

[slate swan]

wut

[spring flax]

Lol

[honest vessel]

of guild

[slate swan]

did you gaved your bot owner?

[honest vessel]

cant do that

[spring flax]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.create_guild

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.create\_guild

await create_guild(*, name, region=<VoiceRegion.us_west: 'us-west'>, icon=..., code=...)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Creates a [`Guild`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Guild "discord.Guild").

Bot accounts in more than 10 guilds are not allowed to create guilds.

[spring flax]

this?

[honest vessel]

but create server from bot n invite urself

apperently u cant make slash commands wen bot is owner

n i used template wen setup guild for easier start

[alpine vault]

Isn't this how I make a request?

import requests
import os

url = "https://discordapp.com/api/users/889705507286310972"

payload = {}
headers = {"Authorization": "{{" + os.getenv("BOT_TOKEN") + "}}"}

response = requests.request("GET", url, headers=headers, data=payload)

print(response.text)

BOT_TOKEN is my discord bot token.

No getting any errors but all I get is an {"message": "401: Unauthorized", "code": 0} printed on the screen. What am I doing wrong here?

[jovial plover]

how do you get nickname update on discord.on_user_update

i did after.name, but didnt work

[slate swan]

There is no on_user_update event.

[scenic fulcrum]

@slate swan

[slate swan]

ok come to #sir-lancebot-playground

[slate swan]

There is no {{ and }} needed.

[alpine vault]

I did

import requests
import os

url = "https://discordapp.com/api/users/889705507286310972"

payload = {}
headers = {"Authorization": "{{" + os.getenv("BOT_TOKEN") + "}}"}

response = requests.request("GET", url, data=headers)

print(response.text)

And I got

[some more stuff was printed on the screen]
  <p>Your client has issued a malformed or illegal request.  <ins>That’s all we know.</ins>

Am I sending too many requests or something? Should I be concerned ?

[jovial plover]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html#discord.on_user_update

[slate swan]

Can you stop?

[slate swan]

I meant it's not the event you're looking for.

You're looking for the on_member_update event.

Which gives Member objects back which contains the nickname attribute.

[jovial plover]

Well i mean, im using on_member_update and it doesnt return nickname change

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='!', intents=intents)
@bot.event
async def on_member_update(before, after):
    # print(before)
    print(after.nickname)```

[slate swan]

As I said, the authorization Header needs to be like that

Authorization: Bot <Token>

And not

Authorization: {{<Token>}}

Which is what you have

[alpine vault]

Oh now it worked

Great, thanks!

[maiden fable]

BTW would be better to use internals lol

[slate swan]

It's .nick, not .nickname.

[fervent shard]

@bot.command(pass_context = True)
@commands.has_permissions(manage_roles=True)
async def mute(ctx, member: discord.Member,*, reason=None):

        await ctx.add_roles(member, mutedRole)```
the x variables come up as errors but it doesnt say which error it is

[slate swan]

I would use as URL

https://discord.com/api/v9/...

guys how can i display when my bot connects to a website with aiohttp?

[honest vessel]

display?

[slate swan]

sorry like how can i check when my bot connects to a website with aiohttp

[grim oar]

Make a task which should make a POST request to the server?

[slate swan]

so make a request? to connect to the endpoint

and then print it? orrrrrrrrrr

[grim oar]

What type of communication technique the server use? Raw tcp/ip, websockets or http sessions? If latter then yeah create a task which should run and make POST req when the bot is ready

[spring flax]

when I do channel = await guild.create_channel(...) how do I set the channel topic to the ID of what was just created?

[slate swan]

let me check

[grim oar]

wdym

[slate swan]

just uses http request

[spring flax]

like if I make the channel and it's Id is 1234, how do I set that in the channel topic

[grim oar]

Yeah then do what I said

[slate swan]

a POST request is like a get right

[grim oar]

uhh is it for any event which happened or just channel?

[slate swan]

btw i ment get like gurd

[grim oar]

Well, uh not really it's a different method, it sends the object to server but yeah

[spring flax]

channel_to_send = await guild.create_text_channel(name="ModMail channel", category=category, topic=f"ModMail Channel {member.id}" ) If I wanted to add the channel_to_send's ID in the topic of the channel

[slate swan]

ic i thought it was the same so its just different protocols ?

[grim oar]

The protocol is same, hyper text transfer protocol, the method is diff!

[slate swan]

ahhh ic

so just make a POST request and when i do just print that its ready?

[grim oar]

well you sent the payload to the server, now do whatever you like

[slate swan]

what if i dont want to do nothing just do something useless orrrr

[grim oar]

What you talking about lol, you asked me to tell how to make a server aware that your bot is connected to discord, so after you make the request do whatever you wanna do lol it doesn't matter

[slate swan]

ok got it thank you nova

[idle saffron]

Hello!!
Hope you all are doing well.
Im working in a discord bot, but i need some help in get the list of users from servers.
If anyone wants to help me I will be really thankful!
Great night/day to everyone

[grim oar]

!d discord.Guild.members

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.members

property members: List[discord.member.Member]```
A list of members that belong to this guild.

[grim oar]

Use that

[idle saffron]

Hey thanks!

[maiden fable]

@idle saffron it needs members intent BTW

[honest vessel]

edit channel set topic to channel.id

[spring flax]

ah okay I was hoping I didn't need to make another API call

is that the only way?

[maiden fable]

Actually u will have to do another API call

Since u won't have the ID before making the channel

[honest vessel]

channel = await create(...
await channel.edit(topic=channel.id)
``` kinda

[maiden fable]

Yea this is what u'll have to do

[grim oar]

Shebang

[maiden fable]

???

[boreal ravine]

why do you wanna edit the channel topic to the channel id? weird request

[grim oar]

Their name is a shebang!

[maiden fable]

whose

[grim oar]

^

[maiden fable]

Ah

[idle saffron]

Indeed im making a discord mass dm bot, someone can help me pls?

[grim oar]

No

[maiden fable]

Against ToS

[honest vessel]

lol

[idle saffron]

I just need help with few things

[honest vessel]

monka

[maiden fable]

Still

[honest vessel]

@idle saffron turn on roblox instead

[boreal ravine]

why

[slate swan]

is that necessary ?

[velvet tinsel]

morning

[slate swan]

goodmorning

i should go to sleep tho its 3am

[honest vessel]

havnt slept for two days :/

[velvet tinsel]

What

Get sleep right now

[velvet tinsel]

Sleep tight

[slate swan]

thx

[waxen granite]

How do i send msg whichsends the perms required by the bot when a cmd is executed but the bot doesnt have the permission

[grim oar]

Use error handlers

[waxen granite]

I do but it doesnt work, i guess its done by putting the code in every single command

[slate swan]

you need to use @commands.bot_has_permissions decorator for that

else the error wont be raised

[green bluff]

how would i make something like this but sort it out with roles

and if the roles r the same

use alphabetical order

and create an exeption for roles like staff and owner

would that be hard

no answer = guessing its hard

[slate swan]

!e py a = ['z' , 'a','s'] print(sorted(a))

[unkempt canyon]

@slate swan :white_check_mark: Your eval job has completed with return code 0.

['a', 's', 'z']

[slate swan]

^^^

[green bluff]

how would i sort out

what is top roles

with exception of staff and owner

im kinda making like a ranking system

[slate swan]

remove the staff and owner role from the list before sorting

[green bluff]

?

how would i do that

@slate swan

sorry for the ping

[slate swan]

you have a list of role names or role objects?

[green bluff]

i dont have a list of role names wdym a list of role names

do i have to create one

i dont understand what u mean

[maiden fable]

!d discord.Guild.roles

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.roles

property roles: List[discord.role.Role]```
Returns a [`list`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#list "(in Python v3.9)") of the guild’s roles in hierarchy order.

The first element of this list will be the lowest role in the hierarchy.

[maiden fable]

@green bluff it's already sorted

The first element of this list will be the lowest role in the hierarchy.

[green bluff]

so do i only list the roles up till the role which is not staff?

[maiden fable]

Wym...

What u wana do

[green bluff]

like pretend its a userinfo command

if a person has staff or owner i dont want that to be listed as their top role

i want to create an exception like dont list those roles

if a person has those

as their top role

[maiden fable]

!d discord.Member.top_role

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.top\_role

property top_role: Role```
Returns the member’s highest role.

This is useful for figuring where a member stands in the role hierarchy chain.

[maiden fable]

This...?

Idk I'm confused

[green bluff]

ik

so u know when i do top_role

it says im owner right

but i dont want it to list that im owner or staff

i want it to list the top role thats below staff

[maiden fable]

Ah

I guess access member.roles and remove the roles from the list till staff role

Using slicing

[green bluff]

how?

can u give me an example

[maiden fable]

!e

print([1, 62, 92, 74][:2]) 

[unkempt canyon]

@maiden fable :white_check_mark: Your eval job has completed with return code 0.

[1, 62]

[maiden fable]

See

!d slice

[unkempt canyon]

slice

class slice(stop)``````py

class slice(start, stop[, step])```
Return a [slice](https://docs.python.org/3/glossary.html#term-slice) object representing the set of indices specified by `range(start, stop, step)`. The *start* and *step* arguments default to `None`. Slice objects have read-only data attributes `start`, `stop`, and `step` which merely return the argument values (or their default). They have no other explicit functionality; however, they are used by NumPy and other third-party packages. Slice objects are also generated when extended indexing syntax is used. For example: `a[start:stop:step]` or `a[start:stop, i]`. See [`itertools.islice()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/itertools.html#itertools.islice "itertools.islice") for an alternate version that returns an iterator.

Similar names: term.slice, django.slice

[spring flax]

How does one get the message history and put it in a text file?

[green bluff]

ohh so :2 removes the last 2 highest numbers

[maiden fable]

!d discord.TextChannel.history

[unkempt canyon]

discord.TextChannel.history

async for ... in history(*, limit=100, before=None, after=None, around=None, oldest_first=None)```
Returns an [`AsyncIterator`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.AsyncIterator "discord.AsyncIterator") that enables receiving the destination’s message history.

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

Examples

Usage...

[green bluff]

and i do that with roles

[spring flax]

I know the channel.history(**kwargs) but what about the txt file

[maiden fable]

No, it runs the loop till the 2nd element (doesn't include the 3rd element)

[maiden fable]

See the docs, it has a way to convert the messages to a list

[green bluff]

ohh so if i do 5

it runs till the fifth elem,ent

[maiden fable]

!d discord.AsyncIterator.flatten

[unkempt canyon]

discord.AsyncIterator.flatten

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

Flattens the async iterator into a [`list`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#list "(in Python v3.9)") with all the elements.

[spring flax]

oh .flatten() right

[maiden fable]

Yes, or till the element with index 4

[maiden fable]

Yea

[green bluff]

index 4?

[maiden fable]

Yea

5th element's index is 4

[spring flax]

okay when I have the list how do I put it in a txt file lol

[green bluff]

oh so it goes from 0 to 4

[maiden fable]

Yooo wait, u need to put the message objects???

Or the message content

[green bluff]

how would i do that with roles tho

[spring flax]

the message author, the time and the content

[green bluff]

like role = ctx.guild.roles

[maiden fable]

Just use list comprehension

!d open exists

[unkempt canyon]

open

open(file, mode='r', buffering=- 1, encoding=None, errors=None, newline=None, closefd=True, opener=None)```
Open *file* and return a corresponding [file object](https://docs.python.org/3/glossary.html#term-file-object). If the file cannot be opened, an [`OSError`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/exceptions.html#OSError "OSError") is raised. See [Reading and Writing Files](https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/inputoutput.html#tut-files) for more examples of how to use this function.

*file* is a [path-like object](https://docs.python.org/3/glossary.html#term-path-like-object) giving the pathname (absolute or relative to the current working directory) of the file to be opened or an integer file descriptor of the file to be wrapped. (If a file descriptor is given, it is closed when the returned I/O object is closed unless *closefd* is set to `False`.)

[maiden fable]

list = [msg-1, msg-2]
final = [(msg.content, msg.created_at, msg.author.name) for msg in list]

Idk something like this should work

There was an easier way with itertools iirc

[green bluff]

for me or for dia

[maiden fable]

Dia

[spring flax]

do you know what this is? or docs?

[maiden fable]

U gotta find out yourself

[maiden fable]

Lemme see if I can find it

[green bluff]

allg thanks

[maiden fable]

!d itertools.groupby

@spring flax I haven't really tried, but try

[unkempt canyon]

Nah.

No documentation found for the requested symbol.

[maiden fable]

https://docs.python.org/3/library/itertools.html#itertools.groupby

Weird Python

!d itertools.groupby

[unkempt canyon]

itertools.groupby

itertools.groupby(iterable, key=None)```
Make an iterator that returns consecutive keys and groups from the *iterable*. The *key* is a function computing a key value for each element. If not specified or is `None`, *key* defaults to an identity function and returns the element unchanged. Generally, the iterable needs to already be sorted on the same key function.

The operation of [`groupby()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/itertools.html#itertools.groupby "itertools.groupby") is similar to the `uniq` filter in Unix. It generates a break or new group every time the value of the key function changes (which is why it is usually necessary to have sorted the data using the same key function). That behavior differs from SQL’s GROUP BY which aggregates common elements regardless of their input order.

[maiden fable]

Yea there

But idk if this is what u r looking for

zip

zip(*iterables, strict=False)```
Iterate over several iterables in parallel, producing tuples with an item from each one.

my discord bot is an absolute mess, I have all the commands not as cogs just as
@bot.command() async def help(ctx):
etc...

would organising it into cogs just be as simple as
putting it inside a class that inherits from cogs and creating the command in there?

fuck it, ill work it out, it's a hard question to answer not knowing what i know dw haha

I tried to make a Ticket System but the bot wont react on the on_reaction_add event. It worked fine when I tested it first, but then i wanted to enhance it more and now it just doesnt react anymore. I tried to undo my changes and test it with print, but nothing works and i dont get any error message. I cant see what im doing wrong

[placid skiff]

What is this?

[pine crown]

    await ctx.send(f"Banned {user.name} for {reason} by {ctx.author.mention}")

how to turn it into a slash command?

[placid skiff]

btw you reloaded your bot before trying again after the change right?

[placid skiff]

using two different modules for the bot and slash commands can be complicated, i suggest you to use disnake

F

[ember magnet]

yeah

[placid skiff]

!d on_raw_reaction_add
on_reaction_add works for message which are stored in the cache, once your bot turns offline it deletes the cache, you should use on_raw_reaction_add

i'm stupid today

D_D

[pine crown]

why complicated?

[placid skiff]

!d disnake.on_raw_reaction_add

[unkempt canyon]

disnake.on\_raw\_reaction\_add

disnake.on_raw_reaction_add(payload)```
Called when a message has a reaction added. Unlike [`on_reaction_add()`](https://docs.disnake.dev/en/latest/api.html#disnake.on_reaction_add "disnake.on_reaction_add"), this is called regardless of the state of the internal message cache.

This requires [`Intents.reactions`](https://docs.disnake.dev/en/latest/api.html#disnake.Intents.reactions "disnake.Intents.reactions") to be enabled.

[placid skiff]

Because they are two different modules, disnake is one single module and has them both, is more simple

[pine crown]

how to use it

[pine crown]

whats the different having tro different modules

[ember magnet]

Doesnt knew that thank you very much know He reacts

[pine crown]

well but anyways

@commands.has_permissions(ban_members=True)
@slash.slash(name="Ban", description="Bans a user")
async def BanUser(ctx, user: discord.Member=None, *, reason="The reason was not entered"):
  if user is None:
    await ctx.send("Please enter the user you want to ban.")
  elif user == ctx.message.author:
    await ctx.send("You cannot ban yourself.")
  elif user.guild_permissions.administrator:
    await ctx.send("You cannot ban a admin.")
  else:
    await user.ban(reason=reason)
    await ctx.send(f"Banned {user.name} for {reason} by {ctx.author.mention}")

why doesnt this create a slash command

[placid skiff]

it is a fork of discord, so you will have to change nothing in your code except that you have to change every discord into disnake, there is an example of a slash command:

from disnake.ext.commands import *
from disnake import ApplicationCommandInteraction

# your client / bot here
...
@slash_command(name="echo", description="Send a message")
async def echo(ctx: ApplicationCommandInteraction, message: str):
  await ctx.send(message)

the message is an option of the slash command so it will appear when you will digit /echo
there is a classic command with disnake:

from disnake.ext.commands import *
...

@bot.commands()
async def echo(ctx: Context, message: str):
  await ctx.send(message)

[placid skiff]

no problem

[pine crown]

how to make this work with disnake? @placid skiff

i get error while trying to do slash_command

[placid skiff]

i don't know how discord_slash works so i can't help you with that. I repeat to you, disnake is better, is the same as discord but with slash commands

[pine crown]

ok

[heavy folio]

subclass commands.HelpCommand

!d discord.ext.commands.HelpCommand

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.HelpCommand

class discord.ext.commands.HelpCommand(*args, **kwargs)```
The base implementation for help command formatting.

Note

Internally instances of this class are deep copied every time the command itself is invoked to prevent a race condition mentioned in [GH-2123](https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/issues/2123).

This means that relying on the state of this class to be the same between command invocations would not work as expected.

[quick gust]

You never closed brackets in your embed instance

[maiden fable]

Don't fetch

U can simply do await member.send()

[fervent shard]

TYY

[quick gust]

also this ^

[placid skiff]

well, it isn't a command sadly for you but to make something case-unsentive you can do this:

[slate swan]

im all ears, i feel really stupid 😅

[placid skiff]

message = "hello"
response=input("say hello!")

if response.lower()==message:
  True

[slate swan]

I'm confused because str.upper should make the string all Case which should solve the case-sensitivity issue

[placid skiff]

the message variable store "hello" all lower, the response is a string taken in input which will be lower case, so even if you write "HELLO" it will be "hello"

str.upper() makes the string all upper case

!e

msg = "hey"
print(msg.upper())

[unkempt canyon]

@placid skiff :white_check_mark: Your eval job has completed with return code 0.

HEY

[placid skiff]

as you see it turns the string upper case

[slate swan]

Yeah, the command is all upper-case, so it should make it work

[placid skiff]

you deleted the message so i can't tell you why

[slate swan]

    if message.content.startswith(str.upper("$FIRE")):
        await message.channel.send(Vehicles["Fire"])
    if message.content.startswith(str.upper("$POLICE")):
        await message.channel.send(Vehicles["Police"])

[surreal blade]

so if i have
def setup(bot) -> None: bot.add_cog(Profile(bot))

after my cog

should i be calling setup(bot) in my main.py or something? (or the script that's being run)
Or where is this function called, the function exists in all cog examples

[placid skiff]

str.uppder() is nothing
watch better this. with str.upper() you are just calling upper method from the string object, but str isn't a variable

[slate swan]

so my understanding is
input goes $fire, then the bot makes it all upper case, then checks if the command is written properly. which it should. and then it does its stuff

[placid skiff]

the function will be called automatically after you load the cog

[pine crown]

how to make slash commands

[placid skiff]

@slate swan

[placid skiff]

bro i told you like half an our ago

[slate swan]

ahh gotha thanks

[pine crown]

it erros

[placid skiff]

show command and errors

[surreal blade]

so in my main.py I should be just instantiating the bot and adding each cog in the script?
sorry your original answer was very precise I just wanted to confirm because i can't seem to find an example main.py of loading the cogs

[placid skiff]

yes, you have to load them in your main file or somewhere else but the important thing is that each cogs will be loaded, otherwise they will never work

[pine crown]

from disnake.ext import commands

[surreal blade]

thanks, appreciate the response, you're helping everyone so i'm sure youll feel exhausted soon haha

[placid skiff]

you can't use disnake and discord together, disnake is the exact same thing as discord. Read the docs, disnake has intents too and you can launch your bot with disnake too

[placid skiff]

hahahaha

[pine crown]

how to use the intent

[placid skiff]

https://docs.disnake.dev/en/latest/ this is disnake docs
https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ this is discord.py docs

[placid skiff]

in the same way you use them with discord

disnake is a fork, they're one and same but disnake has more features

[pine crown]

import disnake
from disnake.ext import commands

intents = disnake.Intents.default()

intents.members = True

client = commands.Bot(
    command_prefix='-',
    intents=intents,
    case_insenstivive = True

client.run("i wont send token")

[placid skiff]

https://docs.disnake.dev/en/latest/intents.html this is intents use in disnake
https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/intents.html this one is intents in d.py

[surreal blade]

is disnake expected to be the slash command continuation of discord.py?

[pine crown]

oh wait now it works

[placid skiff]

lol i didn't initiate bots like this like for months but it should work

[placid skiff]

exactly

[placid skiff]

is a fork so has all the feature of d.py but is maintained

[surreal blade]

nice, that's good news guess I should make the change soon before i keep developing

[pine crown]

it runs but its saying application not respond

[placid skiff]

the only change is that you have to change all discord in your code into disnake

[pine crown]

import disnake
from disnake.ext import commands

intents = disnake.Intents.default()

intents.members = True

client = commands.Bot(
    command_prefix='-',
    intents=intents,
    case_insenstivive = True
)
client.remove_command('help')



@client.slash_command(description="Shows members", aliases=["membercount"])
async def members(ctx):
    await ctx.send(f'{ctx.guild.member_count}')


@commands.has_permissions(ban_members=True)
@client.slash_command(description="Bans a user")
async def BanUser(ctx, user: disnake.Member=None, *, reason="The reason was not entered"):
  if user is None:
    await ctx.send("Please enter the user you want to ban.")
  elif user == ctx.message.author:
    await ctx.send("You cannot ban yourself.")
  elif user.guild_permissions.administrator:
    await ctx.send("You cannot ban a admin.")
  else:
    await user.ban(reason=reason)
    await ctx.send(f"Banned {user.name} for {reason} by {ctx.author.mention}")


client.run("e")

[placid skiff]

show the message in the console

[pine crown]

nothing comes in console

[surreal blade]

yeah and make it slash command friendly for april's change or whatever, I still haven't been developing it that way

[placid skiff]

what command did you use?

[placid skiff]

did you pass arguments?

[pine crown]

?

the other commands work tho

[placid skiff]

oh wait you don't need the * in async def BanUser(ctx, user, *, reason)

[pine crown]

ok

[placid skiff]

in disnake arguments are taken untill you write them

[pine crown]

now it will work rgith?

[placid skiff]

well, you will not know untill you try

[tawdry perch]

why is the case LikeThis

[placid skiff]

it's not my command xD

the problem could be the case too

[placid skiff]

run it and then tell me

[pine crown]

ok

i waiting bot to go oofline

[surreal blade]

@placid skiff do you have a snippet of how you instantiate your bot
if not no worries ill work it out, was just wondering if there was anything else for me to investigate

[heavy radish]

In theory, will this work?

[pine crown]

same error

[placid skiff]

you can check my GamingNetwork project on my github

[pine crown]

but now something come in console

[placid skiff]

turn the command lower case, do something like this async def ban_user

[placid skiff]

dunno to be honest

[surreal blade]

awesome, got a link? or is it blvktvrsier github?

[placid skiff]

it should be linked to my discord

[placid skiff]

yes, check my profile

[heavy radish]

How do we read embeds? On_message ones

[surreal blade]

that it is, never used that feature before

[pine crown]

i changed it into async def ban

[placid skiff]

i should check the docs but now i start working so I don't have time :L

[heavy radish]

Oh

[placid skiff]

i'm just waiting my partner to finish calling routine xD

[pine crown]

@placid skiff this is an of the bot error

[placid skiff]

i read now the error sorry, ctx hasn't the attribute message, as you can see when you digit the command it is deleted and appears in your application response

to retrieve the author you can just do ctx.author

it returns the user or member object which has called the command

[pine crown]

ok

[placid skiff]

did you find it? xD

[surreal blade]

yeah I did, just trying to work out the easiest way to get it done and basically just implement the
def setup(self): for cog in COGS: try: print(f" loadin {cog}") self.load_extension(f"lib.cogs.{cog}") except NoEntryPointError: print(f" failed to load {cog}\nNo setup found") # except ExtensionFailed: # print(f" failed to load {cog}\nThe extension or its setup had an execution error") else: print(f" {cog} loaded")
part into my code

into my main.py for now haha before i go into making my own inherited bot class

[placid skiff]

right then 😆

[surreal blade]

but ill probs be using yours for a bit as reference so i appreciate the help, thanks again

[placid skiff]

no problem

[pine crown]

thank you

[placid skiff]

reference to the docs from now on, it really helps when you take the hand of it
remember that disnake use both standard commands and slash one but they doesn't share the same interaction. slash commands use disnake.ApplicationCommandInteraction, commands use disnake.ext.commands.Context
For their purpose is the same they have some differences

[pine crown]

ok

Hello,
I installed the package of the fivem, and It writes me the following error:
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'fivem'

Please help me,
Thanks

[vale wing]

Is it really discord bots related issue?

[vale wing]

How did you install it

[slate swan]

pip install fivem

[vale wing]

And what output did you receive

[slate swan]

That it was installed...

[slate swan]

Yes, I need it for a discord bot

[vale wing]

!pypi fivem

[unkempt canyon]

fivem v1.1

A Python wrapper for the FIVEM API.

[vale wing]

@slate swan what IDE do you use

[slate swan]

visual studio code

[vale wing]

Have you reloaded it after the installation

[slate swan]

yeah

[placid skiff]

you installed it from your console or from visual studio console?

[vale wing]

Most likely something is wrong with the package itself but I will check this by myself

Never seen anyone using scripts param in setup.py

[slate swan]

console

[placid skiff]

check if the visual studio interpreter is related to your local python interpreter

[slate swan]

How?

[vale wing]

Yeah the problem is with the package @slate swan

You can fork it and correct the setup.py

[slate swan]

Yes, but how?

[vale wing]

@slate swan you know how to work with github right?

[slate swan]

yes

I think

[vale wing]

Ok dm me

This is gonna take long and kinda out of topic

[ember magnet]

I have this:

`@bot.event
async def on_raw_reaction_add(payload):
print(f"Reaction {payload.user_id}")
guild_id = payload.guild_id
guild = discord.utils.find(lambda g : g.id == guild_id, bot.guilds)
global confirmation

if payload.emoji.name == '🎟️':
    >>here<<
    category = discord.utils.get(guild.categories, id=932890002193547304)
    channel = await guild.create_text_channel(name=f"🎫︱{payload.member}", category=category)`

I wanna remove the reaction there when it is the right emoji but i cant find anything that works about payload and remove reaction

[placid skiff]

payload.emoji returns an emoji object, so it has all emoji methods, you can use it to delete the emoji

[vale wing]

I am pretty sure you can compare unicode emojis like just emoji == '😃'

[slate swan]

why not use the unicode?

[vale wing]

I don't remember every single emoji's unicode sorry 😁

But you can use it of course
