[hybrid mural]

should i send the cog?

[slate swan]

just edit the message with a new embed?

[cold sonnet]

async def giveaway(self, ctx, time, *, prize):
        
        giveawayembed = nextcord.Embed(
            title="🎉 New Giveaway! 🎉",
            color=0xfd9fa1
            )
        time=humanfriendly.parse_timespan(time)
        giveawayembed.add_field(name="Prize", value="{}".format(prize), inline=False)
        giveawayembed.add_field(name="Hosted by", value=f"{ctx.author.mention}", inline=False)
        giveawayembed.add_field(name="Ends in", value="{}".format(time))

        msg = await ctx.send(embed=giveawayembed)

        giveawayembed = nextcord.Embed(

        giveawayembed.add_field(name="Changed", value="{}".format(time))

        await msg.edit(embed=giveawayembed)

[slate swan]

!d discord.Message.edit | in the embed kwarg set a duplicate embed with the new content in it

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message.edit

await edit(content=..., embed=..., embeds=..., attachments=..., suppress=False, 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.

Changed in version 2.0: Edits are no longer in-place, the newly edited message is returned instead.

Changed in version 2.0: This function will now raise [`TypeError`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/exceptions.html#TypeError "(in Python v3.10)") instead of `InvalidArgument`.

[iron sorrel]

sorry

someone pointed out that message

[austere vale]

uhh when i tried this code, the bot sent this
Command raised an exception: TypeError: expected string or bytes-like object

[cold sonnet]

....?

I copied your code and added the same onto it with a string changed

bots have nitro

[austere vale]

yeah i replaced my code with that and it threw me errors when i tried to make a giveaway

[minor panther]

Okey can i solve this problem this way: despite sending button i will ask people to send any message to a channel. This way everything will work?

Using bot.wait_formessage

[cold sonnet]

uh yeah if your bot takes its time between muting and unmuting people

button should work the same

[slate swan]

bots already have that ability similiar to nitro users.

[cold sonnet]

if I click on every emoji in my reaction roles, my reactions are gonna lag even tho the problem's on the bot side

or is it just discord

[minor panther]

:(

[slate swan]

shouldnt use reactions tbh. ratelimits are high on reactions compared to buttons and overall buttons are better

[cold sonnet]

I'm not gonna remove those reactions

nor work on buttons 🤫

[slate swan]

[minor panther]

Yes i had this trouble using reactions, and i started using buttons

But now when 200 people in one moment press these buttons

Everything crashes

[slate swan]

better than your bot waiting for 200 on reaction gateway events

[minor panther]

Sheesh

But still a lot of ppl are muted without a reason

[slate swan]

i mean you can just use a event but in your case youre using wait for

but events are the same so it wouldnt matter

so all this conversation was pointless

[glacial echo]

async def startGame(ctx, gameID: int = 2):

is always making gameID == 2 even if i say /start_game 1

how would i fix this?

[swift imp]

Why doesn't the "mongo" database add more than 4 members to the database list?

[hushed galleon]

im catching up on alex's problem, they're using wait_for to listen for buttons?

[slate swan]

It shouldn't be like that.

Try re-running your code.

[slate swan]

This isn't related to Discord bots

[glacial echo]

yeah no shit, but it is

[slate swan]

Try asking in #databases

[slate swan]

Can you show more code?

[swift imp]

I make an economic bot

[slate swan]

Your question isn't relevant to this channel's topic.

[slate swan]

not really sure myself i just know he was using wait for, well he told me he was using reactions as buttons but hes probably using an event so nvm everything i said

[swift imp]

ok, sorry

[hushed galleon]

well it could be, if the problem happened to be related to dpy functionality

[slate swan]

The question was too vague, it's hard to make that argument.

And they mentioned the database instead of anything related to dpy breaking

[hushed galleon]

as such, @swift imp you need to share your code and a bit more explanation on what exactly you did for us to figure out if its something wrong with your discord implementation

[tacit moss]

hey 1 thing

if i wanna make a public bot and learn python how can i learn where should i start from ? >> and when i make a public bot i need a DB ? so how do i make one and use it ty for any help

[slate swan]

It's not necessary that if you make a public bot you'll need a database, depends on the functionality of the bot

[slate swan]

1. learn basic python
2. learn intermediate python
3. learn oop
4. learn async programming
   that was mostly my process

[tacit moss]

yes u say learn it but where do i learn it from

[slate swan]

!resources

[unkempt canyon]

Resources

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

[swift imp]

okay, 1 second

[hoary cargo]

the most powerful weapon available

[slate swan]

Weapon?

for oop you can search up Corey Schafer async programming probably docs @tacit moss

Sure.

[untold oriole]

hey guys is there something like on_raw_reaction_add but for adding roles and removing roles?

[slate swan]

wish i could link tutorials but im on mobile

[slate swan]

Why do you need a raw event for that?

[swift imp]

cluster = MongoClient("my link for db")
db = cluster["bdcluster"]
collection = db["bdcollecltion"]

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
    print('Bot ready')

    for guild in bot.guilds:
        for member in guild.members:
             post = {
                "_id": member.id,
                "money": 0,
             }
        
        if collection.count_documents({"_id": member.id}) == 0:
            collection.insert_one(post)```

[hushed galleon]

adding/removing from members? on_member_update is good enough

[tacit moss]

thanks

[untold oriole]

To trigger a piece of code, each time a user adds roles to some1

[untold oriole]

is there a raw event for it?

[slate swan]

!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...

[slate swan]

You don't need a raw event, that's pointless.

[untold oriole]

Oh okay, then thanks!!

[slate swan]

Raw events exist for message events and such because it's not guaranteed that dpy will have the message object cached

And Discord only sends partial data for such events

[untold oriole]

ah yea ive noticed that

[tacit moss]

this is what i mean tho lets say i have 2 servers and the bot is in both >> 1 server the prefix is ! >> and the other server prefix is + do u need a data base for that ?

[hushed galleon]

what intents did you pass to your bot? and how many guilds is your bot in

[swift imp]

discord.Intents.all(), 3

[slate swan]

Most databases are for storing data long term. You can start by caching the prefixes and then experimenting with databases.

[hushed galleon]

can you show the line where you construct your bot just to double check

[tacit moss]

thats the problem i dont understand that stuff yet i dont know how that works but i want 2 learn

[swift imp]

intents = discord.Intents.all()
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix ='h!', help_command=None, intents=intents)

[hushed galleon]

are there more than 4 unique members/bots across your guilds? looking at your find_one call you dont include the guild id as a key, so each document would (or should) be globally unique

oh wait a minute

@swift imp

btw you should use an async lib for handling a mongo database like motor, otherwise every call to your database would slow down your bot

[tacit moss]

@slate swan so what should i 1st do on a bot

[swift imp]

all guilds have approximately 600 members

[swift imp]

okay

[hushed galleon]

maybe not a good idea to attempt inserting 600 posts every time you restart your bot

[swift imp]

yeah

[hushed galleon]

only add a document when they do something like sending a message/using a command that requires checking their money

that way you dont burden your startup with lots of requests

[hushed galleon]

load_extension you should probably do outside of on_ready

[supple crescent]

@bot.command(name = 'order')
async def order(ctx: commands.Context, *, echo: str) -> None:

AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'id' for line channel3 = ctx.guild.get_channel(channel2.id)

[hushed galleon]

@craggy cloak for example: ```py
bot = commands.Bot(...)

async def main():
await bot.load_extension('folder.filename')
async with bot:
await bot.start(TOKEN)

asyncio.run(main())```

[craggy cloak]

That can't be client?

[hushed galleon]

the variable name? sure it can

but if you're using commands.Bot then its kind of weird to name it based on another class

[supple crescent]

any help would be much apricated

[ashen stag]

how can i make a bot respond so when i say a number it adds 1 to it?

example

human: 234
bot: 235

[tidal hawk]

int(message) + 1

[azure tulip]

How change background in ConEmu?

Who is not difficult to explain, I already searched all the settings and didn’t find

[final iron]

What's ConEmu

[azure tulip]

It's a cmd

[final iron]

How is this relevant to this channel?

[azure tulip]

I don't know

[hushed galleon]

most discord data you're going to store is well suited for relational databases (per-guild prefixes and settings or per-member currency)

[supple crescent]

any help?

[grand verge]

Embed Still Work in Discord.py Selfbot , or not ?

so where i can ask ?

[supple crescent]

not here 🤷‍♂️

[grand verge]

not in all server or only this channel ?

[supple crescent]

in this server

[grand verge]

ok

ty

ohh , ok man Thx

[alpine furnace]

No

[abstract kindle]

is there a list of all the events a bot can wait for?

[supple crescent]

any help is apricated

[hushed galleon]

{ctx.author} gets formatted like name#discriminator, and channel names definitely cant have # in them

[abstract kindle]

I'm looking under the docs for discord.py but I can't find anything

I'm checking under events, wait_for, etc

okay, thanks

[hushed galleon]

@supple crescent also if a valid name was provided then discord.utils.get() would return a channel object for you, so no need to get it again for channel3

[supple crescent]

so just remove that line altogether?

[hushed galleon]

yeah

[supple crescent]

lets try it

[hushed galleon]

you're going to need a more robust way of storing the private channel that corresponds to the author

[supple crescent]

fuck ok im jut gonna restart this part

[hushed galleon]

writing their user id in the channel name could work, although it wont look that good

[slate swan]

code -

class Select(Select):
    def __init__(self):
        options=[
            discord.SelectOption(label="Option 1",emoji="👌",description="This is option 1!"),
            discord.SelectOption(label="Option 2",emoji="✨",description="This is option 2!"),
            discord.SelectOption(label="Option 3",emoji="🎭",description="This is option 3!")
            ]
        super().__init__(placeholder="Select an option",max_values=1,min_values=1,options=options)


@client.command()
async def menu(ctx):
    await ctx.send("Menus!",view=Select()
)

error - ```py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "main.py", line 42, in <module>
class Select(Select):
NameError: name 'Select' is not defined


[supple crescent]

nah im just gonna use a workaround @hushed galleon

[slate swan]

i tried 20 differ things

[supple crescent]

thanks tho

[hushed galleon]

did you mean to subclass discord.ui.Select?

[slate swan]

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "main.py", line 42, in <module>
class Select(discord.ui.Select):
AttributeError: module 'discord' has no attribute 'ui'

[hushed galleon]

then you need to upgrade to dpy 2.0 / master

[slate swan]

i am?

[hushed galleon]

are you sure

[abstract kindle]

basically I'm wondering if theres a wait_for(event="attachment") or something

[hushed galleon]

did you name one of your scripts discord.py?

[slate swan]

its in a replit

will it still work or..

[hushed galleon]

if you have the right version installed yes

[slate swan]

can u send the one

[hushed galleon]

like the install link?

[slate swan]

yes

[hushed galleon]

pip install git+https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py, although on repl.it i believe you should edit poetry.lock rather than run pip in the shell directly

[slate swan]

i shold edi it?

[tool.poetry]
name = ""
version = "0.1.0"
description = ""
authors = ["Your Name <[e-mail]>"]

[tool.poetry.dependencies]
python = "^3.8"
psutil = "^5.9.0"
requests = "^2.27.1"
discord = "^1.7.3"

[tool.poetry.dev-dependencies]

[build-system]
requires = ["poetry-core>=1.0.0"]
build-backend = "poetry.core.masonry.api"

[hushed galleon]

yeah replit didnt even install the correct package, they used the mirror package

replace the discord line with "discord.py" = {git = "https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py"}

[slate swan]

ur the best

[hushed galleon]

in the repo there's examples of how to use views with buttons/selects

[slate swan]

[tool.poetry]
name = "python-template"
version = "0.1.0"
description = ""
authors = ["Your Name <[e-mail]>"]

[tool.poetry.dependencies]

[tool.poetry.dev-dependencies]

[build-system]
requires = ["poetry-core>=1.0.0"]
build-backend = "poetry.core.masonry.api"

[supple crescent]

@hushed galleon sorry to bother, how would i get the echo

    if str(reaction.emoji) == '✅':
        await channel.send('Gotcha! order confirmed')
        channel2 = discord.utils.get(ctx.guild.channels,name = f"private-channel{ctx.author}")
        await channel2.send(f"<@{user_id}> \n {echo} ")
        await msg.add_reaction("✅")
        await msg.add_reaction("❌")

to work without getting the nonetype error?

[slate swan]

wait do i add

[hushed galleon]

https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/tree/master/examples/views

[slate swan]

discord = that or

[hushed galleon]

nah the entire line should be replaced

[slate swan]

oki

[hushed galleon]

you can check if its none before sending a success message

[supple crescent]

check if what is none?

[hushed galleon]

the... channel you tried getting

[supple crescent]

ah

[slate swan]

hey

is this right ```py
[tool.poetry]
name = "python-template"
version = "0.1.0"
description = ""
authors = ["Your Name [e-mail]"]

[tool.poetry.dependencies]
python = "3.9"
numpy = "^1.22.2"
"discord.py" = {git = "https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py"}
bs4 = "^0.0.1"
requests = "^2.27.1"

[tool.poetry.dev-dependencies]

[build-system]
requires = ["poetry-core>=1.0.0"]
build-backend = "poetry.core.masonry.api"

[hushed galleon]

yeah

[slate swan]

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "main.py", line 42, in <module>
class Select(discord.ui.Select):
AttributeError: module 'discord' has no attribute 'ui'

still this error?

[hushed galleon]

did repl.it try reinstalling discord

[slate swan]

no

[hushed galleon]

can you check the pyproject.toml file again

[slate swan]

ok im here

[hushed galleon]

i just tested it and replit incorrectly added the discord package

[slate swan]

huh?

oh

they did?

[hushed galleon]

yeah they try to analyse your imports and install packages for you

[slate swan]

how would i do thart

[hushed galleon]

clearly doesnt seem to work well

[placid quarry]

hello

does anyone can help me?

[hushed galleon]

as in how would you turn off package autoinstall? i dont know

[slate swan]

wait

wouldn’t i do discord =?

[hushed galleon]

no, because the real package isnt named discord

its supposed to be discord.py

replit writes discord because what they're actually installing is the mirror package named discord which is just a copy of discord.py 1.7.3

[hushed galleon]

ask your question and someone will respond

[slate swan]

wait so if i did discord 2.0.0

[hushed galleon]

2.0 isnt actually on pypi

right now its just another name for the master branch on the discord.py repository

[slate swan]

hey @hushed galleon i made it work , but how do i make a reply for EACH embed?

option*

[hushed galleon]

in your callback you can tell which option was selected from the self.values list

its shown in one of their examples on github https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/examples/views/dropdown.py#L11-L31

[slate swan]

cna u make a example?

@hushed galleon

[hushed galleon]

whats confusing about the example on the repo

[slate swan]

it dont really show me how to make a list

differ embed for each option

[hushed galleon]

it shows you how to get the option that the user selected

you can figure out how to make different embeds based on the value

[slate swan]

can u show

[left crater]

for some reason the .join() method doesn't work with discord

it does this

[hushed galleon]

seriously its as simple as a few if-statements

[left crater]

and does this if i were to print it

[hushed galleon]

yeah a string surrounded by two underscores gets underlined

[left crater]

is there anyway to fix that

[hushed galleon]

!d discord.utils.escape_markdown

[unkempt canyon]

discord.utils.escape\_markdown

discord.utils.escape_markdown(text, *, as_needed=False, ignore_links=True)```
A helper function that escapes Discord’s markdown.

[left crater]

ok thanks

heyy = discord.Embed(title=discord.utils.escape_markdown(unbury))```i did this but it still makes a line

[hushed galleon]

class ColourView(discord.ui.View):
    options = [
        discord.SelectOption(label='Red is fire!', value='red'),
        discord.SelectOption(label='Blue is cooler!', value='blue')
    ]

    @discord.ui.select(options=options)
    async def on_select_colour(self, interaction, select):
        choice = select.values[0]
        if choice == 'red':
            await interaction.response.send_message('good choice')
        else:
            await interaction.response.send_message("you're wrong")```

[slate swan]

bro omg tysm

[south jetty]

line 25, in profile
    userfail = discord.Embed(title=f"{user.name} is not found.")
UnboundLocalError: local variable 'user' referenced before assignment```

```py
    async def profile(self, ctx, username):
        try:
            user = await roblox.get_user_by_username(username)
            
            embed = discord.Embed(

        except UserNotFound:
            userfail = discord.Embed(title=f"{user.name} is not found.")
            await ctx.send(embed = userfail)```

[hushed galleon]

if it raises UserNotFound as it tries calling get_user_by_username(username), then user wont be defined

you probably meant to just display username

[hushed galleon]

hm you're right, i think it still collapses the characters despite being escaped

[slate swan]

NameError: name 'select' is not defined

[south jetty]

oh so userfail = discord.Embed(title=f"{username} is not found.")

[left crater]

i could use dashes but thats just ugly

[hushed galleon]

wait nevermind i tested with the wrong variable, works fine for me

[left crater]

i want it to not make a line

[hushed galleon]

oh as in separate with spaces?

[left crater]

yeah

[slate swan]

@hushed galleon i see your helping alot of people, if you can help you when u got time its hust that error i sent

NameError: name 'select' is not defined

[hushed galleon]

the example i sent used the decorator form which passes the Select object as a parameter, earlier you were using a class for the Select itself so you'd write self.values instead

[hushed galleon]

well you have the join already, make it join with spaces instead of nothing

[left crater]

yup got it thanks

[slate swan]

fixxed but new error againn TypeError: 'property' object is not subscriptable

i think i fixxed

[hushed galleon]

you didnt write Select.values[0] did you

[slate swan]

class Dropdown(discord.ui.Select):
    def __init__(self):

        # Set the options that will be presented inside the dropdown
        options = [

        await interaction.response.send_message('good choice')
    else:
        await interaction.response.send_message("you're wrong")

[hushed galleon]

no, Dropdown is just a generic class, it doesnt contain the actual data that discord provided

[quaint forum]

I cant find anything very useful in the documentation or online about this specific topic...
How would I go about changing a role or multiple roles permissions on a single channel?

[hushed galleon]

you would edit the permission overwrites of the channel

!d discord.abc.GuildChannel.overwrites

[unkempt canyon]

discord.abc.GuildChannel.overwrites

property overwrites```
Returns all of the channel’s overwrites.

This is returned as a dictionary where the key contains the target which can be either a [`Role`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Role "discord.Role") or a [`Member`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Member "discord.Member") and the value is the overwrite as a [`PermissionOverwrite`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.PermissionOverwrite "discord.PermissionOverwrite").

[hushed galleon]

e.g. ```py

[hushed galleon]

you were using a class for the Select itself so you'd write self.values instead

self contains the actual object/instance, i.e. what stores the data

[slate swan]

BRO I LOVE U

in my meau embed is there to make it edit no send a new message?
CODE -

            await interaction.response.send_message(embed=embed)

[slate swan]

@hushed galleon

[glacial echo]

huge progress today, but i kinda dont want to dive into more mechanics

but i shall perseverer

[left crater]

whats that

[glacial echo]

my trello board

i only have 3 must have features left

and a huge amount of things added already

[final iron]

What's that?

[glacial echo]

its a website that lets you make categories to put cards in, and lets you drag the cards between categories

[hoary cargo]

it's pretty much like github project

[slate swan]

in my meau embed is there to make it edit no send a new message?
CODE -

            await interaction.response.send_message(embed=embed)

[glacial echo]

like a more intuitive github project

[final iron]

Cool

[glacial echo]

await client.currentEmbed[message.channel.id].edit(embed=embedVar)

you have to set the embed you sent as a variable, which you can then call on to edit later

[final iron]

What

[glacial echo]

oh wait not the pep police

i gotta scram

[final iron]

What's client?

[glacial echo]

while True:
    try:
        user_input = "0+" + input("Equation: ").replace("^","**").replace("x","*").replace("X","*")
        if any(c.isalpha() or c.isspace() for c in user_input):print("Not a valid equation")
        else:y = "print(" + user_input + ")";exec(y)
    except:print("ERROR - Stop breaking stuff")

[glacial echo]

in my code client is bot

client = commands.Bot(command_prefix="b|", test_guilds=[951923779859271711], intents=disnake.Intents.default())

[final iron]

Is currentEmbed a bot var?

[glacial echo]

currentEmbed is a variable under my bot

[boreal ravine]

i just use markdown tables for charts like these

[glacial echo]

it basically lets me carry around embed

[final iron]

You're doing client.currentEmbed so it's a bot variable

[rocky bluff]

how can i get the line on the side of this embed?

[glacial echo]

i could do that but trello has pretty colors for covers and labels, a intuitive drag and drop system, and my teacher can see my progress

[glacial echo]

color=0x00ff00

in the Embed definition thing

constructor?

[rocky bluff]

no like

s

[slate swan]

AttributeError: 'Bot' object has no attribute 'currentEmbed'

[rocky bluff]

this

[glacial echo]

oh

that symbol, followed by a spacce then your text

or you could make an embed instead

[boreal ravine]

it's already an embed katte

[slate swan]

@glacial echo do you know?

[rocky bluff]

wait can you like explain a bit more?

[boreal ravine]

What library are you using?

[glacial echo]

you have to define it as Bot.currentEmbed = none

[boreal ravine]

> Hello
is

Hello

[slate swan]

in the async?

[slate swan]

async def callback(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, Bot.currentEmbed = none):

[glacial echo]

for example heres where i define all my bot variables

[boreal ravine]

just use interaction.response.edit_message()

[glacial echo]

^

[rocky bluff]

yes but i understand that but how would i use that on a embed

[glacial echo]

there are almost definitely several ways to edit the embed

[rocky bluff]

cuz if i put > it wont work

[glacial echo]

you cant use markdown in an embed

[rocky bluff]

so how did they add a line

[glacial echo]

in an embed it will already ahve a sidebar though

[boreal ravine]

Show output

[rocky bluff]

not the color line

[glacial echo]

what?

[boreal ravine]

you can, but only in certain areas (descriptions, field values)

[glacial echo]

oh? interesting i thought you couldnt use it anywhere lol

[rocky bluff]

the line near roster

[glacial echo]

is roster in an embed

send a screnshot of the whole message

[boreal ravine]

Wrong reply sorry

[slate swan]

one more thing, anyone know how to only let the ctx.author be able to interact with the meau?

[glacial echo]

presumably, an if statement checking if interacter == ctx.author

this is what i get for randomly generating words from a library instead of making presets

[left crater]

that is color

[boreal ravine]

yeah, but only if they have ctx

[left crater]

its just gray

[slate swan]

 File "main.py", line 94, in callback
    if interacter == ctx.author:
NameError: name 'interacter' is not defined

[boreal ravine]

interaction.user

[slate swan]

add that or?

[rocky bluff]

thats color?

[glacial echo]

thats the > markdown in a desccription

[boreal ravine]

replace that with interacter

[glacial echo]

ah sorry i was writing in sudo-code casue idk what the variables for intereactions are

[slate swan]

did not work

[boreal ravine]

show your code

[slate swan]

[glacial echo]

command's isnt proper grammer

[slate swan]

ik ik ill fix that

but can u help me LOL

[rocky bluff]

also last question how can i move the 19/30 to the side of roster?

[glacial echo]

idk why that wouldnt work other than that you cant have a ctx.author and a interaction.user possibly?

[glacial echo]

keep it on the same add_field line

if u send ur code that makes your embed it would eb helpful

[rocky bluff]

i did

[boreal ravine]

You gotta make ctx a class attribute

[slate swan]

i did?

[boreal ravine]

no

[slate swan]

OH

[boreal ravine]

it's currently a parameter

keep in mind that callback only takes two arguments

[slate swan]

how do i make it a attribute?

[slate swan]

ik im not done yet

[boreal ravine]

Pass ctx into the __init__ method, then do self.ctx = ctx. Then pass ctx into your select instance```py
select = select(ctx)

[alpine pewter]

Hi people, I have a quick question.
Would this command be right to count the amount of members that are in the same server as my bot?

num_users = len(client.users)
print(num_users)

[boreal ravine]

yes

[alpine pewter]

Okay, thank you ^^

[keen lynx]

need to make bot premium subscription page ..what should i use never made one

[rocky bluff]

also last question how can i move the 19/30 to the side of roster?

[slate swan]

new error

@boreal ravine TypeError: callback() missing 1 required positional argument: 'interaction'

[alpine pewter]

It's not too important, when someone gets a second.
I tried to search it first.

I've tried in three different servers, it only returns 0 instead of counting members total.
I'm unsure of the issue or what's wrong, the bot is identified as client as well.

[glacial echo]

isnt members a privledged intent

[slate swan]

?

[alpine pewter]

Yeah, I forgot something, used a wrong variable somewhere.
Sorry, thanks for your help

[glacial echo]

it should be Guild.member_count

[alpine pewter]

Yeah, I managed to get that lol
I just figured to ask because the CMD above is shorter and it was worth a shot lol

[slate swan]

lol i need help

[frank tartan]

not if its a field

maybe if you do like ```py

**Roster:** `18/30`
```
this way its not its own field

[boreal ravine]

show code

[slate swan]

fix?

you need 2.0

how do i update

pip install -U git+https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py iirc

tysm

HEY

OKIMIII

tryna help me w sum?

sure

              await interaction.response.edit_message(embed=embed)
          else:
              await interaction.response.send_message("you're wrong")

i want to allow only the ``ctx.author` to be able to edit with the UI

[slate swan]

just pass the ctx author to the View subclass which you would use to add the author and then pass it to the select

class selectView(discord.ui.View):
def init(self):
super().init()

    # Adds the dropdown to our view object.
    self.add_item(select())

yes that one

class selectView(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()

        # Adds the dropdown to our view object.
        self.add_item(select())

so

would i do if ctx.author:

if self.ctx.author != interaction.author:

iirc

lemme try

class selectView(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self,ctx):
        super().__init__()
        if ctx.author != interaction.author:
          self.add_item(select())

this?'

nah

class selectView(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self, author: discord.Member) -> None:
        super().__init__(author)
        self.add_item(select())

here we would pass the author to the view where you add the dropdown which then it creates an instance of the parent class with the super and then it accesses the parents class init which then i passed the author to the dropdown which then you could add the if statement on callback.

[slate swan]

oh, it says im missing a argerment but its not one?

did you passed the author when sending the view?

im pretty sure i did

code?

dont i need to add sum to my actually meau?

class select(discord.ui.Select):
    def __init__(self):

        # Set the options that will be presented inside the dropdown
        options = [
            discord.SelectOption(label='moderation', description="moderation commands", emoji=f'{emoji.mod}'),
            discord.SelectOption(label='utility', description="utility commands", emoji=f'{emoji.util}'),
            discord.SelectOption(label='fun', description="fun commands", emoji=f'{emoji.fun}'),
        ]

        # The placeholder is what will be shown when no option is chosen
        # The min and max values indicate we can only pick one of the three options
        # The options parameter defines the dropdown options. We defined this above
        super().__init__(placeholder="categories", min_values=1, max_values=1, options=options)



    async def callback(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):
          if self.values[0] == 'moderation':
              embed=discord.Embed(description="moderation")
              embed.set_author(name="")
              await interaction.response.edit_message(embed=embed)
          else:
              await interaction.response.send_message("you're wrong")


class selectView(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self, author: discord.Member) -> None:
        super().__init__(author)
        self.add_item(select())


@client.command()
async def test(ctx):

    view = selectView()
    await ctx.reply(view=view,mention_author = False)

[slate swan]

you need to add an argument to the select class and you need to pass it to the instance of the view in the command

view = selectView() here you would pass the author as view is a variable thats literal to an instance of selectview

and class naming

okay so i add that to the veiw

ok now.

i wanna do wa

now wa

show code so i know were on the same page

[hearty dust]

can we use 2 python mysql database for 1 bot

[slate swan]

nah iirc dpy needs 3.7+

[hearty dust]

:/

[cloud dawn]

You can use 2 databases for 1 bot

[hearty dust]

um how?

[cloud dawn]

Make 2 connections.

[hearty dust]

let me try

[cloud dawn]

lmfao

[flat solstice]

Is there a example somewhere of what format discord likes embed JSON in? I had a poke around the docs related to embeds but couldn't find anything - and I mean discords docs

[slate swan]

@slate swan

[round robin]

k

[slate swan]

why are you making an instance of the dropdown in your view and you need to make an argument to the dropdown and you need to pass it in the command

[cloud dawn]

!d discord.Embed.to_dict make an embed and just use this method and print it out.

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Embed.to\_dict

to_dict()```
Converts this embed object into a dict.

[slate swan]

OHHHH

[slate swan]

what should i name agr

[flat solstice]

Thanks, seems like something discord could just add to their docs as a example, could have sworn I saw something like this about a year ago

[slate swan]

are you really asking me what to name the argument

yeah u can pick

[slate swan]

idk author is fine

do i do just author rn or author: discord.Member

shower brb ill be fast

[slate swan]

as an argument yes

[cloud dawn]

They do tough.

https://discord.com/developers/docs/topics/community-resources#embed-visualizer

[slate swan]

what one

[slate swan]

an argument in the dropdown class

[slate swan]

ik but author or the other one

[flat solstice]

Oh I've been looking for that, kinda expected it to be with the other embed docs like the limits

[slate swan]

a new argument and not the view one

ok

then it will work?

[cloud dawn]

Oh nvm this the js one.

[slate swan]

not really as you still have to make the check in the callback

[raw loom]

anyone??

[cloud dawn]

Anyways to_dict will be it then. Also when making raw requests to the api the api usually sends a template for the devs.

[slate swan]

you cant import it, you shouldnt import like that and you should use main or a fork

[flat solstice]

Good to know

[raw loom]

i didnt import it

import discord, os, asyncio, json, sys, datetime, shelve
from discord.ext import commands
from discord_components import DiscordComponents, Button, Select, SelectOption, ButtonStyle, InteractionType
from discord.ext.commands.cooldowns import BucketType```

[slate swan]

from discord_components import DiscordComponents, Button, Select, SelectOption, ButtonStyle, InteractionType whats that final import then

[raw loom]

ssame3 error ahh

[slate swan]

[raw loom]

what import do i delet

[slate swan]

should delete all of them

so you wont need to use that trash lib again and use main

[raw loom]

i use it for my help menu for the buttoms

[slate swan]

main has buttons.

[raw loom]

do u have any source code?

[slate swan]

for?

[raw loom]

discord help menu with buttons

[slate swan]

did you copy all of that code?

[raw loom]

No

yes from my replit cause i was hosting there

[slate swan]

no offense but its honestly horrible

[raw loom]

got it working

no help menu 😞

[slate swan]

working doesnt mean good you know

[slate swan]

main

https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py

[raw loom]

send me a source help menu that uses main

[slate swan]

alr

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.create\_role

await create_role(*, name=..., permissions=..., color=..., colour=..., hoist=..., display_icon=..., mentionable=..., reason=None)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

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

All fields are optional.

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

Changed in version 1.6: Can now pass `int` to `colour` keyword-only parameter.

New in version 2.0: The `display_icon` keyword-only parameter was added...

[slate swan]

it doesnt take positional argument only self.

yeah normally it's name=...

but if i do that it says that the argument cant be done because i use random.choice

because i have multiple role names listed

[slate swan]

make a variable thats bound to an instance of the class for the parameter and just on the callback add the if statement i gaved

[slate swan]

huh

[slate swan]

wdym?

send the if state ment?

no

[slate swan]

^

and i add that to where

lemme read

the callback.

[stone beacon]

https://tenor.com/view/stare-awkward-funny-what-huh-gif-5344114

[slate swan]

its just that repl screws a lot with the installation

[stone beacon]

ahhhhh

[slate swan]

follow pep 8 bro

[pliant gulch]

This error is given when you add asyncio

By that I mean the pypi one

If you're using 3.5+ asyncio is already in the stdlib

[stone beacon]

Throwback to the days

[slate swan]

@slate swan wait, so i added the if statement, i have a argument error , even tho i added it??

[slate swan]

where

missing 1 required positional argument: 'author'

well you need to pass it

i dont know how to pass , is there a thing i can read?

docs*

[slate swan]

you pass the argument in the construction of the instance of the class

elif isinstance

IF

show code so i can guide you better

i legit js started using 2.0.0 td

class select(discord.ui.Select):
    def __init__(self,author):

        super().__init__(author)
        self.add_item(select())
        view = selectView()

here delete the instance aka the view variable

[rocky bluff]

 embed2.add_field(name=f"**Roster:** {len(role.members)}/{cap}",value="" )
``` so when i run the bot it says to fill out the value but when it says to do that i do and it shows the what ever i put "" in it and how can i make it so it doesnt show what i put in ""

[slate swan]

@client.command()
async def test(ctx):

    view = selectView(ctx.author)
    await ctx.reply(view=view,mention_author = False)

and here you would pass the argument as so

[slate swan]

iirc you can just use bold space

** **

    @commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_guild_channel_create(self, channel):
        while True:
            await channel.send(random.choice(message_spam))

how do i make this for text channels only?

[slate swan]

so look, discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: TypeError: __init__() takes 1 positional argument but 2 were given. this is a error im getting

[pliant gulch]

Means the constructor method of selectView only takes self, you need to add another parameter to the constructor signature

[raw loom]

how do ppl get the "add bot to server" thing on a bots profile

[slate swan]

as far as i know u gotta enable it so everyone can invite the bot to their server in the dev portal

[slate swan]

in general

[raw loom]

there i did it

wtf happend to discord when i was gone

[slate swan]

anyone?

[raw loom]

i was finishing my studdies

are u tryinf to make a antinuks? @slate swan

[slate swan]

thats just screaming ratelimits

[slate swan]

it's just to mess w my friends

idrc bout ratelimits

sometimes they annoying and i just wanna mess w em, we do it all the time to eachother

[slate swan]

@slate swan

[slate swan]

andy responded to you already and andy is kinda my teacher so he knows way more than me😅

[cloud dawn]

I think this is the definition of api abuse.

[slate swan]

dont know ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[slate swan]

ohh oki

[slate swan]

what should name be

[slate swan]

i mean abusing the api to "just to mess w my friends" isnt quite right tbh

author?

[slate swan]

its argument naming it doesnt matter

oki

if i get api banned it doesn't really matter for me. all i do is this anyway

[cloud dawn]

Okay, but this doesn't really seem appropriate.

!rule 5

[unkempt canyon]

Rules

5. Do not provide or request help on projects that may break laws, breach terms of services, or are malicious or inappropriate.

[slate swan]

well if y'all gon cry bout me messing w friends instead of helpin i'll just read docs

jesus christ

[slate swan]

were not crying and shouldnt docs always be the first thing you check?

[rocky bluff]

can i dm you rq

[slate swan]

i cba to read that much.

[slate swan]

no

[rocky bluff]

oh

[slate swan]

ok so, for i made it named author what do i do with it

[rocky bluff]

i just had a question

[slate swan]

ask here.

[rocky bluff]

ok

[cloud dawn]

We're not "crying" you are just abusing the API. Why should we condone this?

[slate swan]

make an instance variable and check it with the if statement

[slate swan]

in the actual command right?

[slate swan]

the callback

[slate swan]

okay

[rocky bluff]

embed2.add_field(name=f"**Coach:** {message.author.mention}  ``{message.author}``,value="** **")

this part of my code so when message.author.mention it goes in as a id since its in a ** but when i move my " back it shows a error @slate swan

[slate swan]

you mean it doesnt format the mention?

[rocky bluff]

yea

[cloud dawn]

What code do you currently have?

[rocky bluff]

cuzs my **

[slate swan]

do you want me to send full code?

[slate swan]

remove it then

[rocky bluff]

no thats for the **coach**

[cloud dawn]

Just the command and what you use/ call within it.

[slate swan]

class select(discord.ui.Select):
    def __init__(self,author):

        # Set the options that will be presented inside the dropdown

@client.command()
async def test(ctx):

    view = selectView(ctx.author)
    await ctx.reply(view=view,mention_author = False)

oops

[slate swan]

ah, can you even mention a member in the name of the field im not quite sure

[rocky bluff]

yea

if you use value but you dont have to

you can just put it as in all one field

[slate swan]

and your problem is that the name is bold?

[rocky bluff]

yes and instead of mention it shows ids

because the bold of course

[slate swan]

ah just remove the bold space and add something else

[rocky bluff]

no that isnt effecting the mentions the ** coach** is

[cloud dawn]

Well look at the selectView class, ```py
self.add_item(select())
view = selectView()

[slate swan]

how would that affect it if its closed

lmao what can i get a tldr

[rocky bluff]

its closed at the end 🤣

[slate swan]

idk can you😳

[rocky bluff]

and if i move it it gives error

[slate swan]

yeah

[slate swan]

show

o i see it

[slate swan]

how would i added author to pass?

[rocky bluff]

    embed2.add_field(name=f"**Coach:**"{message.author.mention}  ``{message.author}``,value="** **")
                                       ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
 

[slate swan]

bro because it needs to be at the end of the kwarg bro

[rocky bluff]

dawg thats what i do and it shows as a id

[slate swan]

It seems you're missing a quote after the name=... kwarg

[slate swan]

bro.

[slate swan]

its an f string it doesnt do anything thats not how python or discord works

[slate swan]

!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.

[green bluff]

This wouldnt work i n main.py right

[cloud dawn]

So when you call a class or a function you sometimes need to pass arguments.

def add(numb1, numb2):
    return numb1 + numb2

print(add(4, 6)) # passing 4 and 6
>>> 10
``` if i were to remove 6 it would give me an error.

[slate swan]

You literally used the service but then went out of your way to inconvenience yourself and others by screenshotting it anyway.

[rocky bluff]

so what am i doing wrong

[slate swan]

^

[green bluff]

Oh no lmao its not my code someone elses and screenshotting seems more convenient to me

[slate swan]

i think im not needed here anymore so ill be leaving

[rocky bluff]

💀

[slate swan]

hm

[rocky bluff]

what

[slate swan]

what?

[cloud dawn]

Huh?

[slate swan]

do i need someones permission to leave

[cloud dawn]

Yes

[slate swan]

how with author tho

[rocky bluff]

all i said was skull

[slate swan]

whos

[rocky bluff]

mans think i said stay or sum

[slate swan]

mmhm k

[cloud dawn]

@novel apex

[slate swan]

😔

@cloud dawn im kinda confused

[slate swan]

well you replied with an odd emoji

[cloud dawn]

class selectView(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self, author: discord.Member) -> None:
        super().__init__(author)
        self.add_item(select())
        view = selectView()
``` you are calling 2 things here but you aren't passing any args while they are required.

[slate swan]

can u make a example using my problem ? @cloud dawn

[slate swan]

yes, i removed veiw = selectVeiw()

[pliant gulch]

You should be initialising an instance variable with it as well

Otherwise you won't have author in the instance

[slate swan]

This chat never fails to confuse me

[slate swan]

same here

[pliant gulch]

I'm very much lost

[slate swan]

are you talking about super().__init__(author)

[pliant gulch]

No

[pastel flint]

hi i'm trying to make a discord bot, completely new to all of this, and would really appreciate some help. i followed a tutorial to set up the basic basic basics on replit and i have an idea of what i want to make but no idea how to go about even starting. i want to convert user input to an image output, do i have to use matplotlib for this? cause i've never used that before either n i'm just really overwhelmed by everything

[slate swan]

i think everyone here is not on the same page

[river swift]

!code

[unkempt canyon]

Here's how to format Python code on Discord:

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

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

[cloud dawn]

@slate swan I highly recommend taking a look at what okimii sended https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/examples/views/dropdown.py

[pastel flint]

i have a lot of questions and i see you guys are busy with something so if anyone just wants to dm that would be much appreciated

[slate swan]

yeah

[slate swan]

What do you mean by "image output"?

Are you planning on querying for an image?

anyways bye guys

[cloud dawn]

So basically user input that searched images on google?

[slate swan]

do you even know what im trying to get ?? @cloud dawn

[pastel flint]

there's a texit bot that people use to make math equations and change up text, something similar to that

[pastel flint]

i do not know what this means lmao

[cloud dawn]

Seems to me like a help command.

[pastel flint]

no it converts what they input into an image with that text written in it

[slate swan]

yeah, but i only want the ctx.author to be able to edit the interaction

[slate swan]

i think u would use pillow for that

[cloud dawn]

Ah pillow pypi

[pastel flint]

i have heard of that one! how?

[slate swan]

@pastel flint on youtube there is some thins look up pillow discord bot

[pastel flint]

alright i'll watch a few, thank you!

[slate swan]

@cloud dawn

[cloud dawn]

!d discord.Interaction

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Interaction

class discord.Interaction```
Represents a Discord interaction.

An interaction happens when a user does an action that needs to be notified. Current examples are slash commands and components.

New in version 2.0.

[slate swan]

is it in attribes?

@cloud dawn

[cloud dawn]

Only the interaction user

So the one that clicked on the button'

[balmy ivy]

How can i fix this i tried moving it up but it messed with my mention

[cloud dawn]

I'd have to debug it and i can't rn.

[cloud dawn]

Well the format isn't in the string.

[balmy ivy]

wdym

[cloud dawn]

Well your whole format is outside your string

!f-strings

[unkempt canyon]

Creating a Python string with your variables using the + operator can be difficult to write and read. F-strings (format-strings) make it easy to insert values into a string. If you put an f in front of the first quote, you can then put Python expressions between curly braces in the string.

>>> snake = "pythons"
>>> number = 21
>>> f"There are {number * 2} {snake} on the plane."
"There are 42 pythons on the plane."

Note that even when you include an expression that isn't a string, like number * 2, Python will convert it to a string for you.

[cloud dawn]

Look at this

[balmy ivy]

wait

[cloud dawn]

You got f"some text"{format??}

[balmy ivy]

so what i am saying is that when i put the " at the end it messes with my mention and puts it as a id

[cloud dawn]

[balmy ivy]

this what it does when i put " at the end

[cloud dawn]

Because Discord doesn't allow any kind of formatting inside titles.

[slate swan]

bro idk what to do i give up

[cloud dawn]

Never give up, anyways i'd need to program myself to clearly give a good example since the internet doesn't have one apparently lol

[slate swan]

i dont understand what , what ur saying im really not that good at understanding py

[pastel flint]

hi i'm back i watched two videos and neither are very helpful for the context of making a bot

[slate swan]

what was the youtuber's name?

[sick birch]

Regardless most youtube discordpy tutorials suck

[slate swan]

yeah kinda

[pastel flint]

Corey Schafer and dannycademy

[slate swan]

let me send u the one i used.

[pastel flint]

yeah i really just need someone to dumb this down to the level of a baby

[final iron]

Lucas incoming

[slate swan]

so u want a command like

?image hello

and hello will be on the image?

[slate swan]

freecodecamp has joined the chat

[final iron]

Are you just going to spoonfeed commands?

[alpine pewter]

Anyone able to help with this by chance?
I'm wanting to post an emoji in a description embed.

I figured you just copy the ID by putting \ is there another way?

[cloud dawn]

😰

[slate swan]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=47CPq5NmhAQ

[pastel flint]

okay well i want to make the output a punnett square

so the user would type something like .pun Aa AA

so each character would need to be printed in a different place as well as combinations of them

as well as a chart

and ideally it can work for traits up to any length so the input could be .pun AaBbCC AAbbcc or etc etc

or sorry dihybrid crosses would be like AbaBABab, ignore what i just said

it would be easiest to start off with a simple 2x2 lmao

[pliant gulch]

There is quite a lot of steps here

Personally, I'd start off by determining dominate vs recessive alleles and storing them into a variable

You can check using str.isupper() since dominate alleles always have to be capitalised

[echo wasp]

i'm going to ask this once is py better than js?

[final iron]

alleles?

[pliant gulch]

then you can either use control-flow, so using else to determine recessive alleles, you may also use str.islower()

[final iron]

Neither is better

[hearty dust]

{  
   "name":"Jack",
   "age":30,
   "address":{  
      "street":"Station Road",
      "city":"London"
   },

[pliant gulch]

Then all you'd need to do is render the text using Pillow

[final iron]

They're used for different things

[hearty dust]

how to write like this in json file with python

[final iron]

#python-discussion or #❓｜how-to-get-help

[pastel flint]

alleles are the "a" or "A" that makeup the trait

[pastel flint]

okay thank you so much

[pliant gulch]

Sounds like a good idea could be helpful as well

[slate swan]

@cloud dawn i give up , im going to take it off what to i remove again

[final iron]

tbh not even going to try to understand

[pliant gulch]

Perhaps a fun adding would be x-linked traits support

[pastel flint]

how do i store them as separate variables if the input is all together?

[pastel flint]

oh i have such an ambitious project idea that i have no clue how to make

[slate swan]

bro im super lost rn in my mind def __init__(self) , wtf is error here

nvm

[final iron]

Did you miss the colon 🗿

[pliant gulch]

Well, there is many ways you could do this ```py
dominant: list[str] = []
recessive: list[str] = []

for char in foo:
if char.isupper():
dominant.append(char)

elif char.islower():
    recessive.append(char)

Alternatively you could use regular expressions

But I find simple iteration like this to be quite easy

[slate swan]

code - ```py
async def callback(self,ctx, interaction: discord.Interaction):
if self.values[0] == 'moderation':
embed=discord.Embed(description="moderation")
embed.set_author(name="")
await interaction.response.edit_message(embed=embed)
else:
await interaction.response.send_message("you're wrong")

error -     ```py
TypeError: callback() missing 1 required positional argument: 'interaction'

[alpine pewter]

If anyone can help, I am using nextcord and am unsure how to post an emoji in the description of an embed.
Emoji ID: (Correct)![2908loading](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/958181639811379230.webp?size=128 "2908loading")

I checked around and can't seem to figure it out, posting it as is doesn't seem to work

[pastel flint]

that makes a lot of sense, thank you. my question now is how do i get the user input into the foo list? if they type .pun AA aa, how do i check the message for the bot to respond to and store variable input in the same line? or would i have to have the bot initiate another prompt like enter parent 1 and 2? if so, how would i do that?

[worldly bane]

if I'm correct the correct format for animated emojis is <a:name:id>

[alpine pewter]

Which, that's just by typing \ in front, right?

[worldly bane]

yeah

[worldly bane]

embed = nextcord.Embed(description="emoji_thing") like this?

[worldly bane]

discord autocorrected it 💀

[pliant gulch]

Well, you're working with two arguments, so your callback signature should look like py async def command(ctx: commands.Context, first: str, second: str) -> None: , .pun AA aa would then store AA in first, and aa in second. Alternatively, if you want to use , like in your example. You could do ```py
async def command(ctx: commands.Context, alleles: str) -> None:
foo = alleles.split(",")

foo would then become a list using , as the split char

!e ```py
print("foo, bar".split(","))

[unkempt canyon]

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

['foo', ' bar']

[pliant gulch]

Just make sure to cleanup the spaces

[slate swan]

hey andy, im having a error

[pastel flint]

thank you! lemme try this out

[alpine pewter]

Yes, though, it ends with

description=f"... ... {latency} ![loading](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/958181639811379230.webp?size=128 "loading")"

Then when I get it posted, it shows as the image

[slate swan]

    async def callback(self,ctx, interaction: discord.Interaction):
          if self.values[0] == 'moderation':
              embed=discord.Embed(description="moderation")
              embed.set_author(name="")
              await interaction.response.edit_message(embed=embed)
          else:
              await interaction.response.send_message("you're wrong")

this is code and my error im getting is TypeError: callback() missing 1 required positional argument: 'interaction'

[pliant gulch]

👍

[tropic flame]

doesn’t work

[slim ibex]

1. why pass ctx if it isn't used
2. can you send full traceback

is the error on the line of the function signature?

[alpine pewter]

Do you mind if I message you the code and you can try it yourself?

[slate swan]

thsure

[pastel flint]

wait is it even possible to use pillow for python on replit

@pliant gulch i think i might try making this as a regular program before implementing it as a bot, retreating back to VS. thank you for your help, i will probably come back with more questions lol

[pliant gulch]

No problem

And I'm pretty sure it is possible to use Pillow in repl.it

[sick birch]

callbacks don't give you ctx

[pastel flint]

how so?

[sick birch]

so ctx is actually interaction

which means there's no interaction variable passed

[pastel flint]

in really simple terms, what is ctx

[pliant gulch]

Context for the invocation

[sick birch]

Short for contex, it gives info such as the user who ran command, channel, guild, command object, etc

[pliant gulch]

It's basically a discord.Message instance, but adds information regarding to command, command invoker, etc

[pastel flint]

ohhhh cool thank you

[sick birch]

Without it you wouldn't really be able to get that info

[worldly bane]

are you sure the bot is in the server where the emoji is in?

[alpine pewter]

That was the reason ^^
Figured it out a min ago lol

[worldly bane]

lol

[pastel flint]

also another question @pliant gulch, earlier when you typed the example you ended the line with "-> None:". what does that do?

[sick birch]

Typehints the return of a function

[pastel flint]

typehints?

[sick birch]

-> None is the equivalent of a void function

(In java/script if you're familiar)

[pastel flint]

ah i think i am

[supple thorn]

mostly documentation purposes

[sick birch]

Basically a function that says, "Hey, I won't actually return something but i'll do a side effect"

[pliant gulch]

If you don't typehint much you don't really need to worry about it

Basically just self documenting code

[sick birch]

Yeah as CokeCane mentioned, python itself doesn't care about it but it's useful for your IDE that can provide you methods and attributes using autocomplete

[pastel flint]

ahh okay

[sick birch]

Many dynamically typed languages have some form of typehinting because knowing the type of a variable is important

[supple thorn]

i giggle a little bit whenever robin says my username

[pliant gulch]

I wish python would be compiled

I want that typehint kick

[sick birch]

What do you want me to refer to you by 😂

[slim ibex]

same

[supple thorn]

CokeCane

[sick birch]

Well in that case

[slim ibex]

💀

[sick birch]

I wouldn't mind humoring you 😄

[supple thorn]

same

[pliant gulch]

Still waiting on generic tuples to get passed, for now I'll have to use typing_extensions

TypeGuard is also very very nice

[slate swan]

in that CamelCase

buttons for dpy 2.0.0

can someone send docs

link buttons ^

[sick birch]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/interactions/api.html?highlight=ui button#discord.ui.Button

[slate swan]

i dont se link buttons

[sick birch]

You pass in link to style

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/interactions/api.html?highlight=ui button#discord.ButtonStyle.link

[fading harness]

have anyone use hikari before?

[balmy ivy]

so how do i fix

[slate swan]

code - ```py
@client.command(aliases=["av"]) # i will be adding this
async def avatar(ctx, *, member: discord.Member=None):
if member is None:
member = ctx.author # ok wait im gonna do 2 and you cacn pick

You're supposed to pass in a discord.ui.View object

Something like so:

class MyView(discord.ui.View):
  ...

@bot.command()
async def my_command(ctx: commands.Context, ...):
  view = MyView(...)
  await ctx.send(view=view, ...)

[slate swan]

do i have 2?

[sick birch]

Also you can just get a member's avatar url by using member.avatar.url

not need to specify it manually

[sick birch]

Yes, you do

[slate swan]

thats so dumb

[sick birch]

I guess you can also use .add_item() but you'd have to subclass that as well to get a callback

[sick birch]

How so? It's quite easy

[slate swan]

wait can i just copy and past

components=[Button(style=ButtonStyle.URL, label=".png", url=f"https://cdn.discordapp.com/avatars/{member.id}/{avatar_id}.png?size=1024")], components2=[Button(style=ButtonStyle.URL, label=".jpg", url=f"https://cdn.discordapp.com/avatars/{member.id}/{avatar_id}.jpg?size=1024")])

[sick birch]

No you won't be learning anything from that

[slate swan]

ik but so i know

[sick birch]

https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/tree/master/examples/views take a look at this for examples

[slate swan]

cant i use

self.add_item(discord.ui.Button(label='Click Here', url=url))
??

[sick birch]

Sure but you won't get a callback

if it's just a link then yeah you can do that

[slate swan]

yeah it is

[sick birch]

https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/examples/views/link.py take a look at this

They subclass view here but you don't need to

[slate swan]

discord.ext.commands.errors.MissingRequiredArgument: ctx is a required argument that is missing.

caan i use await?

@sick birch

then when i switch them around this happens

discord.ext.commands.errors.MissingRequiredArgument: self is a required argument that is missing.

@sick birch

[slate swan]

youre missing the self argument to access an instance of the class

[sick birch]

Can you send your code?

[slate swan]

i got off lol.

i didn’t get any reply’s

lemme send it

[boreal ravine]

why're you making requests

[slate swan]

i’ll fix that

@client.command(aliases=["av"]) # i will be adding this
async def avatar(self,ctx, member: discord.Member=None):
  if member is None:
    member = ctx.author # ok wait im gonna do 2 and you cacn pick
  req = await client.http.request(discord.http.Route("GET", f"/users/{member.id}"))
  avatar_id = req["avatar"]
  embed=discord.Embed(color=color.color, description=f"`{member.name}'s avatar`\n [png](https://cdn.discordapp.com/avatars/{member.id}/{avatar_id}.png?size=1024) , [jpg](https://cdn.discordapp.com/avatars/{member.id}/{avatar_id}.jpg?size=1024)")
  embed.set_image(url = member.avatar)
  await ctx.reply(embed=embed, mention_author=False)
  self.add_item(discord.ui.Button(label='png', url=f"https://cdn.discordapp.com/avatars/{member.id}/{avatar_id}.png?size=1024"))
  self.add_item(discord.ui.Button(label='jpg', url=f"https://cdn.discordapp.com/avatars/{member.id}/{avatar_id}.jpg?size=1024"))

@sick birch

[boreal ravine]

why do you have self in the commands parameters

[slate swan]

for self.add_item

[boreal ravine]

it doesn't work like that

[slate swan]

useless f statement you can just do member =member or ctx.author

[slate swan]

so do i even need self?

is it in a cog?

no

[hasty stump]

@client.listen('on_raw_reaction_add')
async def on_raw_reaction_add(payload: discord.RawReactionActionEvent):
    print('test')
    if payload.message_id == 958024371115548772:
        guild = client.get_guild(payload.guild_id)
        if str(payload.emoji) in '💼':
            category_channel = guild.get_channel(956572065660547104) # pass in category channel id here
            await guild.create_text_channel(name='channel_name', category=category_channel)
            await payload.message.channel.send('Created a ticket by {user.author}!')

its creating the channel but not sending the msg on that channel

[slate swan]

you do know self is only for accessing a class instance right?

oh the other guy is said to put that

now it’s sending the embeds but not adding the buttons @slate swan

[slate swan]

!self

[unkempt canyon]

Class instance

When calling a method from a class instance (ie. instance.method()), the instance itself will automatically be passed as the first argument implicitly. By convention, we call this self, but it could technically be called any valid variable name.

class Foo:
    def bar(self):
        print('bar')

    def spam(self, eggs):
        print(eggs)

foo = Foo()

If we call foo.bar(), it is equivalent to doing Foo.bar(foo). Our instance foo is passed for us to the bar function, so while we initially gave zero arguments, it is actually called with one.

Similarly if we call foo.spam('ham'), it is equivalent to
doing Foo.spam(foo, 'ham').

Why is this useful?

Methods do not inherently have access to attributes defined in the class. In order for any one method to be able to access other methods or variables defined in the class, it must have access to the instance.

Consider if outside the class, we tried to do this: spam(foo, 'ham'). This would give an error, because we don't have access to the spam method directly, we have to call it by doing foo.spam('ham'). This is also the case inside of the class. If we wanted to call the bar method inside the spam method, we'd have to do self.bar(), just doing bar() would give an error.

[slate swan]

he also said bc it’s a link button i can have it in the command

it’s just a link button

[vale wing]

The payload.message might be partial also do you have an error handler

Try getting the channel with payload.channel_id

[hasty stump]

can you rewrite ? i am not understanding

[vale wing]

await guild.get_channel(payload.channel_id).send(f"Created a ticket by {user}!")```

Also not sure if your user is defined

[hasty stump]

oh no it isnt

[hasty stump]

where can i define it? sorry i am new in dc.py

[vale wing]

Either by client.get_user(), guild.get_user() or guild.get_member()

See docs

how to make inventory command using sqlite database

[vale wing]

You need db structure suggestion or something

Cause nobody will give you complete solution

[dense swallow]

you have to first design your database table.. like the columns, rows etc... then insert the data then fetch it... if you want more help with databases, #databases is the right channel

[green bluff]

so when i use vsc

it opens sqlite database

but when i run on python

it says cant open database sqlite3 operational error

[zinc phoenix]

Is there anyway for the bot to play the next song automatically

@bot.command(pass_context=True)
async def play(ctx, url=""):  
  global voice2
  voice2 = ctx.voice_client 
  queue.append(str(url))  
  i = 0

  FFMPEG_OPTIONS = {'before_options': '-reconnect 1 -reconnect_streamed 1 -reconnect_delay_max 5', 'options': '-vn'}
  YDL_OPTIONS = {
    'format':"bestaudio"
  }
  with youtube_dl.YoutubeDL(YDL_OPTIONS) as ydl:
    info = ydl.extract_info(queue[i], download=False)
    url2 = info['formats'][0]['url']
    source = await discord.FFmpegOpusAudio.from_probe(url2, **FFMPEG_OPTIONS)
    voice2.play(source, after=lambda e: print('Player error: %s' % e) if e else None)
    del(queue[0])``` 
Heres my code

I created a list name queue to store the song's url

Oh sorry I didnt know that yt_dl breaks the youtube tos

Are there other libraries that can are comply with yt tos

[strong crow]

Not really, any automated way of downloading videos are not allowed

although i gave my bot the administrator perms

[brazen raft]

Does the bot not have the kick_members permission? Are you trying to kick the owner of the guild?

[paper vector]

what is guild?

i am trying to kick another bot

[brazen raft]

Well, then, it's probably the latter, or the bot's highest role is ranked lower than / equal to the highest role of the target user

[brazen raft]

A discord server

[paper vector]

i am just trying to kick another bot

[paper vector]

oh

[brazen raft]

Are their highest roles the same one

Like Bot role or something

[paper vector]

i think

[brazen raft]

That's probably it

[paper vector]

oh thx

[gaunt ice]

im using replit, what am i

lol

[slate swan]

How does the stuff inside on_disconnect event works when bot is disconnected? ping me when u reply

[gaunt ice]

idek that existed

[slate swan]

That exists

In pycord as well as discordpy

At least.. idk about other libs

[gaunt ice]

i have no idea how that works

[slate swan]

Ping me if u know the answer

[gaunt ice]

sryy

[slate swan]

no worries

Ima wait for someone to answer..

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_disconnect

discord.on_disconnect()```
Called when the client has disconnected from Discord, or a connection attempt to Discord has failed. This could happen either through the internet being disconnected, explicit calls to close, or Discord terminating the connection one way or the other.

This function can be called many times without a corresponding [`on_connect()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.on_connect "discord.on_connect") call.

[slate swan]

I mean

Ik I saw that

But

How is bot able to send the content when it's already disconnected?

It doesn't make sense to me.. like how is the application working when it has lost connection

I hope u getting my point 😭

Aahhh bro

Ima DM u one pic ..

Dw I won't bother u in DM

Just look at thay pic and we will continue the convo here

@slate swan ok so there I'm using on_reconnect and disconnect thing

Like it make sense about disconnected

I mean reconnect

But that disconnect shut.. not making sense to me..I had this shit working for days.. and I got this doubt today when my djs friend asked me about this thing

😭😭

Sorry I'm on mobile.. so sending screenshot.. pls Cooperate

Yehhh

[vale wing]

How can you send a message when you are disconnected

[slate swan]

That's why it's fucking me

😭

[slate swan]

💀💀that's what I'm asking

That shit is working lmfao

[vale wing]

Does bot class have any methods that state if the bot is connected

[slate swan]

Well.. for now I'll go with this

[vale wing]

Sending message is done with single API request

[slate swan]

But I've dropped same question in other servers

[vale wing]

Receiving events is done with websockets

[slate swan]

Will see their explanation

[vale wing]

API can't be disconnected but websockets can

When bot is disconnected, it can't receive events but can send API requests

[unkempt canyon]

discord.TextChannel.send

await send(content=None, *, tts=False, embed=None, embeds=None, file=None, files=None, stickers=None, delete_after=None, nonce=None, allowed_mentions=None, reference=None, ...)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Sends a message to the destination with the content given.

The content must be a type that can convert to a string through `str(content)`. If the content is set to `None` (the default), then the `embed` parameter must be provided.

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. To upload multiple files, the `files` parameter should be used with a [`list`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#list "(in Python v3.10)") of [`File`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.File "discord.File") objects. **Specifying both parameters will lead to an exception**.

To upload a single embed, the `embed` parameter should be used with a single [`Embed`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Embed "discord.Embed") object. To upload multiple embeds, the `embeds` parameter should be used with a [`list`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#list "(in Python v3.10)") of [`Embed`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Embed "discord.Embed") objects. **Specifying both parameters will lead to an exception**.

[vale wing]

I think that

[slate swan]

🤔🤔

[slate swan]

When internet is lost.. why api can't ve disconnected😭

Yee

Well alr then

Thanks for being bothered by me💀

Have a good day! Lmao
