discord-bots

[hoary cargo]

well, disnake would be easier, meanwhile dpy maybe more stable, at least in the near future

[cold sonnet]

one thing people don't like about pycord is the effort

[ashen notch]

But I suppose lurking all the same

[cold sonnet]

which effort is not that much

[ashen notch]

Are they all at the same level of functionality as d.py yet?

[hoary cargo]

the pypi ver it is

[cold sonnet]

but pycord has voice receiving doesn't it

[quaint epoch]

why, why can't pycord have the same class and reference naming as literally every other fork

[ashen notch]

Or is there still more work before they're in full parity?

[quaint epoch]

!d disnake.ext.commands.Bot

[unkempt canyon]

disnake.ext.commands.Bot

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

This class is a subclass of [`disnake.Client`](https://docs.disnake.dev/en/latest/api.html#disnake.Client "disnake.Client") and as a result anything that you can do with a [`disnake.Client`](https://docs.disnake.dev/en/latest/api.html#disnake.Client "disnake.Client") you can do with this bot.

This class also subclasses [`GroupMixin`](https://docs.disnake.dev/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#disnake.ext.commands.GroupMixin "disnake.ext.commands.GroupMixin") to provide the functionality to manage commands.

[quaint epoch]

why?

[cold sonnet]

disnake is definitely one of those

[ashen notch]

Neat

[cold sonnet]

but I always think dpy is just more developed

and after the long break, they'll catch up

once....

[hoary cargo]

well, the official pypi ver of dpy is quite outdated and basically atm the forks are ahead with features

[cold sonnet]

it's cool tho

[hoary cargo]

yeah, that's why i said disnake it's easier, idk what was danny thinking about with that tree stuff when implementing slash

[ashen notch]

With more hands on the project now, I could see it getting cleaned up. For dpy I mean

Now that it's not solely Danny calling the shots

(unless he retook full control)

Laaaaaaaaaame

[cold sonnet]

danny has the most contact to discord out of all forks
I think he can see into the future

[quaint epoch]

nah, he just has really good ping

[ashen notch]

If that was the case he'd be swapping more towards api calls

Like leaning into that more than some of the intents and stuff

[quaint epoch]

api calls are the future

[ashen notch]

Exactly

[quaint epoch]

no more getting, only fetching

[cold sonnet]

discord doesn't allow that many

[ashen notch]

For now

[cold sonnet]

if discord would allow that many api calls, they wouldn't force slash commands onto us

they just wanna spare

[ashen notch]

Fair point

[cold sonnet]

did I say something stupid

[quaint epoch]

the admins shall decide your fate

[cold sonnet]

nah I guess I didn't

[ashen notch]

No

Wait what?

[cold sonnet]

irony

[ashen notch]

Oh thank god

[hoary cargo]

how this makes sense? i mean, bro, that's contradictory

[ashen notch]

Haven't actually peeked at the slash command integration

[quaint epoch]

but most of my code does use api calls, i do use get occasionally say looping through members to unban for a temp ban command.

[cold sonnet]

Danny didn't like slash commands but that doesn't mean he'll make it harder so you don't use it

[quaint epoch]

... right?

[cold sonnet]

right

[hoary cargo]

discord adding slash commands so devs will switch from classic prefix commands
danny just mixing them together and make slash commands dependent on the prefix commands that's quite stupid because in september the enforcement for message intent will kick in

[quaint epoch]

discord adding slash commands so devs will switch from classic prefix commands
danny just mixing them together and make slash commands dependent on the prefix commands :mikedone: that's quite stupid because in september the enforcement for message intent will kick in

[cold sonnet]

but how do you use slash commands with multiple bots

[quaint epoch]

[cold sonnet]

without prefixes

[ashen notch]

Carefully

Sorry, bad joke

[cold sonnet]

you can't have the same command in two bots?

[ashen notch]

I think it'll list both commands, right?

[quaint epoch]

[cold sonnet]

maybe

[ashen notch]

Otherwise you'd have mad conflicts when another bot joins with a similar/same command

[cold sonnet]

let's ask him

[hoary cargo]

well, he hates slash commands anyway, that's why he quit the development first time lol

[cold sonnet]

I like it

[hoary cargo]

cursed

[ashen notch]

I don't.... HATE it

[cold sonnet]

I don't like how you make both embeds anyway

but Idk I just like it

maybe I'm too positive

[hoary cargo]

it should be illegal to like it

[cold sonnet]

wait... do famous bots have slash commands already?

[hoary cargo]

most of them

[cold sonnet]

it's been a while, they should

I haven't even seen a single one of them

[hoary cargo]

they didn't rewrite, they just added the slash commands on top of the prefix ones

since it's a moderation bot, most probably got the message intent

same for dyno and other popular bots

🗿 tbh, i kicked both dyno and mee6 from my servers and just coded my own custom moderation bot, now i feel free that i have absolute control

[stuck oyster]

Sorry, Is there a way to get a channel's topic

yes

[unkempt canyon]

discord.TextChannel.topic

The channel’s topic. None if it doesn’t exist.

[stuck oyster]

alright

[ashen notch]

Eh, to a point

At least for us, being able to easily track infractions is not something we could live without

[sick birch]

No warn system just yet

[ashen notch]

Our infrastructure is pretty solid

And the Discord log is.... less than ideal

[sick birch]

Willing to bet that’s coming up soon

[cold sonnet]

Discord will never make a voice channel maker voice channel or a birthday system, my bot stays alive

[hoary cargo]

i have a log channel for everything lmao, deleted/edited messages, bad word time out, server edit (channels name, perms, roles) discord can't beat that yet

[ashen notch]

We broke it out to several

As well as a mod alerts channel further up the list

[hoary cargo]

audit log is bad

[ashen notch]

God we have so many channels..

So.... very... many

[hoary cargo]

🗿 that's maybe too strict

[sick birch]

I have trouble finding staff channels when it’s right between regular channels and help channels

Overshoot so easily

[ashen notch]

Right? Imagine all the ones I can see as admin.... It's really obnoxious sometimes

[sick birch]

We should move them either all the way up top or all the way down bottom 😉

[hoary cargo]

the logs are pretty vague, for example with deleted messages, they show you they've been deleted, but not their content, or message editing

[ashen notch]

It would make it so much worse for us

[ashen notch]

Where as that's something we do track in our message log

[sick birch]

Also it’s spotty. It’s a 50 50 if it shows certain things

[ashen notch]

Very very handy when folks are spamming or dropping nsfw shit then deleting it real quick

[hoary cargo]

they be like " haha you will never see what i said" then you just go in your holy message logs

[ashen notch]

And it's not like we even hide it!

We don't obfuscate that we have this level of tracking

But folks just don't think about it

[sick birch]

And metricity is open source too isn’t it

[ashen notch]

I think so?

Let me double check

Logging them off-platform is (I think)

But we restrict it to just being tossed in that channel

[fossil aspen]

yo can someone help me with something
i need a cmd to remove everyone from a role so basically
;removerole and itll automatically remove everyone from the member role

[ashen notch]

Discord won't accept those logs for reporting, though

@fossil aspen Why?

Seems like it'd only be used for malicious purposes

[sick birch]

Easy. Loop through role.members

[fossil aspen]

its for my server for event purposes

[hoary cargo]

i don't think so it is as long as you have your own server Privacy policy where you tell people about it like where you store those messages or for how long

[ashen notch]

True, but that's a level of GDPR hassle I'd rather not have to deal with

[fossil aspen]

idk how i would go through with making it i dont really do much py

[hoary cargo]

just delete the role then 🗿

[sick birch]

for member in role.members:
  # remove role

[fossil aspen]

no im using something else w role ids

[fossil aspen]

so where do i put the role id or name of the role

[sick birch]

You need the role object

If it's a command you can get that by typehinting to role

[spring flax]

Nevermind

[hoary cargo]

🗿 that's so cursed, imagine no cogs and all your code in your main file

[sick birch]

You can seperate them into files

[fossil aspen]

yea idk what this means i dont do py nor am i a coder

i just need the cmd made so i can copy nd paste yk

[sick birch]

I suggest you at least get decent understanding before proceeding then

[hoary cargo]

🗿 we don't just offer code to copy and paste, for this maybe it's better to go on maybe?

[ashen notch]

I'm also not overly comfortable with us just giving a command like that

It seems more likely to be used maliciously than usefully

[fossil aspen]

its not malicious

[sick birch]

If you decide to start learning (i encourage you to!), don't do youtube tutorials before you go down that rabbit hole

[fossil aspen]

i dont do that shit i just need it for event purposes

[sick birch]

!resources can get you started

[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.

[hoary cargo]

tbh, i started with youtube tutorials, but then slowly as i learned more i realized they are dumb and bad practice what they did in there

[ashen notch]

Depends on the channel/presenter. We've got a couple channels earmarked in our resources that we trust

[sick birch]

Yup. Unfortunately it seems the mediocre ones snag SEO for searches like "discord bot tutorial"

[spring flax]

What's seo?

[sick birch]

And personally I find the whole medium of videos to be lackluster when it comes to learning

Search engine optimization. Doing certain things with your content to get it higher ranking

For example, putting a lot of random keywords into your descriptions to get your video hoisted in the search results

And also making long titles with lots of common words

[flat solstice]

if I'm reading this right the shard represented by ShardInfo is a 'cluster'/parent with sub-shards/children? https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html?highlight=get_shard#discord.ShardInfo

[dull terrace]

what's the non-dumb way to check if 3 days has passed since the saved date

[vale wing]

Wth is this

[flat solstice]

try timedelatapy from datetime import timedelta if your_thing_to_check < timedelta(days=3):

[vale wing]

Use datetime module

[manic wing]

how's your discord bot tutorial going?

[vale wing]

It would be much easier

(datetime.now() - your_saved_date).days```

And you could store dates as timestamps

[dull terrace]

you mean strings?

[vale wing]

Timestamp is actually a number

Seconds since epoch

[dull terrace]

just thinking how to store it in a db

blob or int?

[vale wing]

!e py from datetime import datetime print(datetime.now().timestamp())

[unkempt canyon]

@vale wing :white_check_mark: Your eval job has completed with return code 0.

1649360091.528525

[vale wing]

For sqlite it would be real but you'd have to convert it to actual datetime class every time

In postgres you can just use TIMESTAMP type its convenient as heck

[dull terrace]

hmm okay thanks, ill give this a shot

[sick birch]

Ask panda

I’m waiting for panda to finish the base infrastructure

[cold sonnet]

panda

the one liner guy

oh I know panda pretty damn well

[stiff nexus]

bots cant get changes in on_user_update if the user is bot.user? - like if the bot itself changes avatar or something the event wont pick up the data?

also:
if u have 2 on_connect event in 1 cog will both work?

[manic wing]

cog 'events' are just listeners

so as long as you have a different function name it will work just fine

[slate swan]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[ember frigate]

Hello everyone, I am trying to build a bot which buys new coins on gate.io, but I can't get the data from the website via request (or maybe I'm a bit dumb). Could anyone please help me?

[stiff nexus]

i dont get it

[lofty pecan]

Hi there, so I'm currently writing a bot, and I need him to take inputs from the user one after another. But for some reason it just spams the input messages and doesn't take what the user sends in

await ctx.send('Enter the description of the character: ')
desc = bot.wait_for('message', check=check, timeout=30)
await ctx.send(f"{name}'s description added")``` Imagine that I have several of this consecutively

and then I want to add those information in a dictionnary like this

with open(f'{name}.json') as file:
        content = json.load(file)  

    content[name] = {'age': age,
                     'gender': gender,
                     'picture': picture,
                     'hex': hex,
                     'desc': desc,
                     'universe': universe
                    } 

    await ctx.send('Character successfuly added to the database!')```

but as I said it seems to be broken

What I get is the following

so would anyone have an idea about what's going on?

and how to let the bot take the information in and store before moving on to the next question

[median gale]

man

i have 4 discord bots

that i was hosting on replit/uptimerobot

but now i see that uptime robot has stopped hosting replit servers

[slate swan]

desc.content basically this is going to save the user's inputs aka message

[median gale]

so does anyone know where i can continue hosting my bots

for free?

[lofty pecan]

what does that mean?

[slate swan]

U got it?

[lofty pecan]

I feel like hex is supposed to be an internal command

maybe that's why?

yeah still buggy

[slate swan]

Just add `.content.

[lofty pecan]

Command raised an exception: OSError: [Errno 22] Invalid argument: '<coroutine object wait_for at 0x000002BDCC9BD140>.json'

[lofty pecan]

where

[slate swan]

with open(f'{name}.json') as file:
        content = json.load(file)  

    content[name] = {'age': age,
                     'gender': gender,
                     'picture': picture,
                     'hex': hex,
                     'desc': desc.content,
                     'universe': universe
                    } 

    await ctx.send('Character successfuly added to the database!')```

[slate swan]

And then try again

[lofty pecan]

wh

what that's exactly what I typed

[slate swan]

No

[lofty pecan]

yes

with open(f'{name}.json') as file:
        content = json.load(file)  

    content[name] = {'age': age,
                     'gender': gender,
                     'picture': picture,
                     'hex': Hex,
                     'desc': desc,
                     'universe': universe
                    } 

[slate swan]

U typed {"desc" : desc} but it should be desc.content

[lofty pecan]

why?

[slate swan]

it will save the "message"

[lofty pecan]

await ctx.send('Enter the description of the character: ')
desc = bot.wait_for('message', check=check, timeout=30)
await ctx.send(f"{name}'s description added")
    ```

that's the description part

[slate swan]

Im talking abt the saving part

[lofty pecan]

okay but why .content

why just there?

[slate swan]

Just try it and you'll see

[lofty pecan]

no it doesn't do anything

[slate swan]

It does😭

[lofty pecan]

look here I still have the same issue

the bot just spams the input without letting me input anything

and with that weird coroutine stuff

[slate swan]

its a coroutine

you have to await it

[lofty pecan]

how so

[slate swan]

or else it will return a coroutine object and not the return value of the coroutine

[lofty pecan]

I assume the with is the problem

[slate swan]

its not.

i already said the problem.

[lofty pecan]

[slate swan]

u used with to open the json file

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.wait_for

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.wait\_for

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

Waits for a WebSocket event to be dispatched.

This could be used to wait for a user to reply to a message, or to react to a message, or to edit a message in a self-contained way.

The `timeout` parameter is passed onto [`asyncio.wait_for()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#asyncio.wait_for "(in Python v3.10)"). By default, it does not timeout. Note that this does propagate the [`asyncio.TimeoutError`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-exceptions.html#asyncio.TimeoutError "(in Python v3.10)") for you in case of timeout and is provided for ease of use.

In case the event returns multiple arguments, a [`tuple`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#tuple "(in Python v3.10)") containing those arguments is returned instead. Please check the [documentation](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord-api-events) for a list of events and their parameters.

This function returns the **first event that meets the requirements**...

[lofty pecan]

await what

[slate swan]

a coroutine

[lofty pecan]

okimii what do I have to await

HAAAAAA

[slate swan]

what is self.client

[lofty pecan]

I think I get it

[slate swan]

bro

[slate swan]

[stuck oyster]

self.client = client

[lofty pecan]

desc = await bot.wait_for('message', check=check, timeout=30) innit?

[slate swan]

and client is the bot instance that gets passed in the cog?

[slate swan]

yes

[stuck oyster]

yes

[lofty pecan]

🥺

[slate swan]

so what is not working

[lofty pecan]

omg of course

[stuck oyster]

Well, the full command is a transcript command. It is supposed to give a list of all the users that talked in the channel but only showed the user that used the command

[slate swan]

you can just check the channel history and check all the authors

[lofty pecan]

well now it works

[slate swan]

lol

[stuck oyster]

yes but that is not what I want

[lofty pecan]

I just have this issue Command raised an exception: FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory

[slate swan]

what do you want

[lofty pecan]

lol

[slate swan]

well it can't find the file

[slate swan]

How did u define name?

[lofty pecan]

yeah lol, well thank okimii !

[slate swan]

👍

[lofty pecan]

I forgot to change the name to database lmao

[slate swan]

Oh

[lofty pecan]

[lofty pecan]

welp I don't know why it can't find the file honestly

[ashen notch]

Figure I'll ask again since it's a new batch of folks here. I'm wanting to make a server bootstrapping script. One that will let people give a server layout (categories, channels, roles, etc) as a script to make it easier to develop for a bot. I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to test something like that without having to actually make x number of guilds during testing. Rather not have to make a server, delete it, make a server, delete it, rinse and repeat. Anyone know of anything like that?
Something like a testing endpoint for this or a ready made Discord API mockup that you can test requests like this against

[lofty pecan]

welp I'm sorry but I don't know at all, I hope you'll find an answer

as you can see I don't know why my bot can't find a json file so this is beyond my level of expertise haha

[slate swan]

so youre trying to make a script/bot that makes a guild layout?

i expect a script and not a public bot.

[ashen notch]

Generates a guild based on a configuration file, yeah. I know how I'm going to do that bit (and yeah it's going to be a script)

It's just the testing I'm not stoked about

[slate swan]

ah

[ashen notch]

Since I don't want to be constantly making guilds and deleting them

[slate swan]

well im not quite sure on how i would be tested, i would suggest you check the developer portal and the idea seems limited to newer bots

[ashen notch]

Nah, the functionality has been around for creating guilds like this. At worst I might just have to mockup my own API to make sure I'm getting the right stuff but ehhhhh

[slate swan]

well testing it without actually making a request i doubt you could, searching for an endpoint that is for testing i doubt the api has one. the idea of running a script for developers seems idk limited as people are scared of token loggers and it would be limited to bots that are in 30 or less guilds iirc

[ashen notch]

It'd mostly be useful for us here on PyDis

It's so that people can set up a dev server for themselves when they fork the repo

Especially since our bot config has a fuck ton of channels that need to be made and IDs retrieved

[slate swan]

well i would check dev portal but i cant use my pc rn. but you probably could just create a guild and then just loop through channels etc which is very easy in discord.py and you wouldnt need to connect to websockets and send hb etc

[ashen notch]

Yep, I know

[slate swan]

thats mostly what i would do.

[stuck oyster]

uh so

[lofty pecan]

okay so this is now the problematic code :

with open(os.getcwd() + f'\{database}.json') as file:
        content = json.load(file)  

    content[name] = {'age': age,
                     'gender': gender,
                     'picture': picture,
                     'hex': Hex,
                     'desc': desc,
                     'universe': universe
                    } 
    
with open(os.getcwd() + f'\{database}.json', 'w+') as file:
  json.dump(content, file)```
after asking the user for information I want to take the database file (`json file` with inside just `{}`) and add a key with the corresponding dictionnary inside but I feel like this won't work at all

and it's also not working, otherwise I would be here complaining haha

[cloud dawn]

!d discord.Guild.create_template what about a template?

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.create\_template

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

Creates a template for the guild.

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

New in version 1.7.

[cloud dawn]

!d discord.Template

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Template

class discord.Template```
Represents a Discord template.

New in version 1.4.

[lofty pecan]

or should I put the content inside the with?

[cloud dawn]

Templates can easily create mock guilds without making for loops for channels etc.

[lofty pecan]

then how am I sure the content of the json has been updated ?

[ashen notch]

Doesn't help with gathering the IDs

That's where most of the work is

[lofty pecan]

Expecting property name enclosed in double quotes: line 1 column 2 (char 1) okay then python...

[cloud dawn]

What id's are you after?

[ashen notch]

And I'll likely be trying to send it as a single large post request when I create it.

The IDs for the generated channels and roles

[cloud dawn]

A template sends in everything at once and using discord.Guild.channels and discord.Guild.roles should give you every id.

[ashen notch]

Sure but I'm not planning on using dpy for this, just direct API calls.

https://discord.com/developers/docs/resources/guild#create-guild has essentially everything I need

[cloud dawn]

Oh yeah def.

[lofty pecan]

nice

Object of type Message is not JSON serializable that's nice

how is this not working:

with open(os.getcwd() + f'\{database}.json', 'r') as file:
  Content = json.load(file)  

                    
Content[f'{name}'] ={'age': age,
                        'gender': gender,
                        'picture': picture,
                        'hex': Hex,
                        'desc': desc,
                        'universe': universe
                        }             
with open(os.getcwd() + f'\{database}.json', 'w') as file:
  json.dump(Content, file)                

await ctx.send('Character successfuly added to the database!')
    ```

How

[cloud dawn]

You are putting a message object inside the dict

That's not allowed.

[lofty pecan]

:(

so

[cloud dawn]

Put in the id

[lofty pecan]

await ctx.send('Enter the value of the character (format is 0xFFFFFF): ')

``` I have to convert those to `str`?

[cloud dawn]

Fetch it if you need it.

[dull terrace]

if (time_stamp - self.date).days >= 1:
AttributeError: 'float' object has no attribute 'days'```

both made with
```python
datetime.now().timestamp()```

[cloud dawn]

Hex.content will do

[lofty pecan]

haaaaa

[dull terrace]

[lofty pecan]

THATS WHY

[vale wing]

You need to convert timestamp into the datetime with datetime.fromtimestamp

!d datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp

[unkempt canyon]

datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp

classmethod datetime.fromtimestamp(timestamp, tz=None)```
Return the local date and time corresponding to the POSIX timestamp, such as is returned by [`time.time()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/time.html#time.time "time.time"). If optional argument *tz* is `None` or not specified, the timestamp is converted to the platform’s local date and time, and the returned [`datetime`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html#datetime.datetime "datetime.datetime") object is naive.

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 timestamp is converted to *tz*’s time zone.

[cloud dawn]

Timestamps are floats

[dull terrace]

ahh okay thanks

[lofty pecan]

lemme test

[cloud dawn]

Don't convert them to timestamp

[pliant gulch]

Yea don't ^

You already have the object

[dull terrace]

gotta save em in a db

[cloud dawn]

A SQL DB has datetime store option.

[lofty pecan]

haha another error

[cloud dawn]

Datetime objects are the only object you can store in a database.

[dull terrace]

[cloud dawn]

Lol

Then use timestamp lol

[dull terrace]

hmm can just do the conversion once when i take it out i suppose

[vale wing]

The best way to store datetime in sqlite is int timestamp cuz it takes the least memory

[dull terrace]

and put it in

[cloud dawn]

!d datetime.fromtimestamp

!d datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp

[unkempt canyon]

datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp

classmethod datetime.fromtimestamp(timestamp, tz=None)```
Return the local date and time corresponding to the POSIX timestamp, such as is returned by [`time.time()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/time.html#time.time "time.time"). If optional argument *tz* is `None` or not specified, the timestamp is converted to the platform’s local date and time, and the returned [`datetime`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html#datetime.datetime "datetime.datetime") object is naive.

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 timestamp is converted to *tz*’s time zone.

[vale wing]

And the only better way is ||use another db that supports datetime||

[cloud dawn]

I mean nothing wrong with fromtimestamp

and timestamp - timestamp = amount of seconds

[lofty pecan]

it works but it gives me stuff like user ids, guild id etc

and I just want to input

despite the .content

[cloud dawn]

if (time_stamp - self.date) / 60 / 60 / 24 >= 1:

[lofty pecan]

{"<Message id=the_id channel=<TextChannel id=the_id name='test' position=7 nsfw=False news=False category_id=the_id> type=<MessageType.default: 0> author=<Member id=the_id name='This is Chris' discriminator='1095' bot=False nick='ChrisZeThird' guild=<Guild id=the_id name='Chris & Bo' shard_id=None chunked=False member_count=39>> flags=<MessageFlags value=0>>": {"age": "19", "gender": "male", "picture": "url_pic", "hex": "0xffffff", "desc": "no desc lol", "universe": "life"}}

but I just want {"age": "19", "gender": "male", "picture": "url_pic", "hex": "0xffffff", "desc": "no desc lol", "universe": "life"} to be added

[cloud dawn]

You made the key an object.

[lofty pecan]

how did I do that

[cloud dawn]

By force converting it to string

[dull terrace]

is the timestamp literally just how many seconds so far since year 0?

[cloud dawn]

1970 it's unix

[lofty pecan]

so in the content[f'{name}] ?

[dull terrace]

that's kind of wild. isn't it going to be way too long in 100 years

[lofty pecan]

with open(os.getcwd() + f'\{database}.json', 'r') as file:
        Content = json.load(file)  

                    
Content[f'{name}'] ={'age': age.content,
                        'gender': gender.content,
                        'picture': picture.content,
                        'hex': Hex.content,
                        'desc': desc.content,
                        'universe': universe.content
                        }             
with open(os.getcwd() + f'\{database}.json', 'w') as file:
        json.dump(Content, file)                

await ctx.send('Character successfuly added to the database!')```

[cloud dawn]

Current time stamp is 1649366165 if we were to add a 0 it's the year 2492 and another 0 would be around the year 12000

[dull terrace]

one day tho, one day

[cloud dawn]

I think after 2300 we will have a solution lol

[lofty pecan]

how so?

[cloud dawn]

"<Message id=the_id channel=<TextChannel id=the_id name='test' position=7 nsfw=False news=False category_id=the_id> type=<MessageType.default: 0> author=<Member id=the_id name='This is Chris' discriminator='1095' bot=False nick='ChrisZeThird' guild=<Guild id=the_id name='Chris & Bo' shard_id=None chunked=False member_count=39>> flags=<MessageFlags value=0>>"

!d discord.Message

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message

class discord.Message```
Represents a message from Discord.

x == y Checks if two messages are equal.

x != y Checks if two messages are not equal.

hash(x) Returns the message’s hash.

[dull terrace]

year 2300 we will be using telekinesis instead of numbers

[lofty pecan]

huh

so the .content

is problematic

[cloud dawn]

Unix is a way for computers but it's pretty inaccurate compared to atomic clocks.

[lofty pecan]

ye I don't want that thing

[cloud dawn]

I will be more scared by January 19, 2038

[dull terrace]

you gotta be doing something pretty wild to need atomic time

[cloud dawn]

On this date the Unix Time Stamp will cease to work due to a 32-bit overflow. Before this moment millions of applications will need to either adopt a new convention for time stamps or be migrated to 64-bit systems which will buy the time stamp a "bit" more time.

[boreal ravine]

anyone know how to use start? Everytime I want to use it, it says one positional argument is required: 'self'. Whenver I put it in (test.start(self)) it says 'self' is not definied

[lofty pecan]

still having issues understanding why this won't work as intended

[lofty pecan]

and this as well

[boreal ravine]

whats name;

[lofty pecan]

name is just a string

await ctx.send('Enter the name of the character: ')

so I have this function py async def guild_events(self, guild: Guild, event: str): embed = Embed( title="Guild {event.title}", timestamp=datetime.utcnow(), description=f"{guild.name} ({guild.id})", ) if event == "JOIN": embed.colour = Colour.green() if guild.id in self.bot.banned_guilds: await guild.leave() async with self.bot.pool.acquire() as conn: await conn.execute() elif event == "LEAVE": embed.colour = Colour.red() embed.set_footer(text=f"{len(self.bot.guilds)} servers") if self.bot.config.join_channel: await webhook_constructor(self.bot.config.join_channel, embed)which handles my guild events (such as on_guild_join and on_guild_remove), this func is outside of a class and yet I need to pull data from self.bot inside this func. Should I be passing the self of the actual event into the func like thispy @commands.Cog.listener() async def on_guild_join(self, guild: Guild): await guild_events(self, guild, "JOIN")or should I be importing my bot var from my main file and calling bot instead of self.bot?

[sick birch]

Just pass in bot if you need to

But honestly it's better to keep them seperate

[flat solstice]

so pass self.bot into the func call and use bot.thing_to_get_from_bot, not import bot from main file

[sick birch]

Yeah

Still don't really see why you have to mush them together

[flat solstice]

okay thanks for the help

So I've got big on type hinting (I think that's the right term) all my funcs including eventspy @commands.Cog.listener() async def on_message_delete(self, message: Message):and I want to type hint my on_bulk_message_delete event, would it just be py @commands.Cog.listener() async def on_bulk_message_delete(self, messages: list[Message]):

[glacial echo]

literally 0 reason to do that though?

[slate swan]

yes that is correct.

!d discord.on_bulk_message_delete

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_bulk\_message\_delete

discord.on_bulk_message_delete(messages)```
Called when messages are bulk deleted. If none of the messages deleted are found in the internal message cache, then this event will not be called. If individual messages were not found in the internal message cache, this event will still be called, but the messages not found will not be included in the messages list. Messages might not be in cache if the message is too old or the client is participating in high traffic guilds.

If this occurs increase the [`max_messages`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Client "discord.Client") parameter or use the [`on_raw_bulk_message_delete()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.on_raw_bulk_message_delete "discord.on_raw_bulk_message_delete") event instead.

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

in docs its a list of message objects so yes youre correct, you should read docs or check src if you ever doubt types

[hushed galleon]

you just enable it on your account and it will apply to your bot

[torn sail]

Is that a thing?

[hushed galleon]

yeah certain moderation permissions can be enforced by 2FA requirement in the server's moderation settings

if you check a permissions calculator like this https://discordapi.com/permissions.html you'll see them highlighted, but basically its kick/ban/administrator, and any most permissions starting with "Manage"

How is it possible to make a DM group with discord.py?

I know how to send a DM to a single user but how is it possible to send to multiple users?

[abstract kindle]

Question: I currently sort through my mongo database to check for the top 5 users in the 'money' category

This is how I create my leaderboard for the top users in the server

How would I sort the top in 2 categories combined?

For example, in 'money' and 'bank'

I'm currently doing this

cursor = self.bot.db.find().sort("money", pymongo.DESCENDING).limit(6)
        top_users = await cursor.to_list(length=6)

[slate swan]

I am using:

def disable_all_buttons(self):
    for button in self.children:
      button.disabled = True

in my button class, though when I try to use self.disable_all_buttons() in my command class it doesn't work, but gives me no error. How can I disable a button from the command class?

[hushed galleon]

you can't with a bot, since group DMs are only usable by user accounts

[hushed galleon]

you need to edit the message with the updated view to tell discord about your changes

[slate swan]

await interaction.message.edit dont work

and neither does await msg.edit("...", view=self)

[hushed galleon]

doesnt work as in NameError: name 'interaction' is not defined? or still no error

[slate swan]

one sec

doesn't give me an error

[hushed galleon]

does your view have an on_error?

[slate swan]

i have a command error handler

but not for the view

if x >= crashNum:
x = crashNum
viewOneInstance.x = round(x, 2)
self.disable_all_buttons()
await interaction.message.edit(view=self)
break
thats my code, I am making an econemy bot with a crash game

[hushed galleon]

hm i would suggest adding print statements across your view's code to see whats happening

[sick vale]

oh

[hushed galleon]

prints just before and after your if-statement might be a good place

[slate swan]

it seems to stop at self.disable_all_buttons()

i think

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.

wish i could help but i use sql which theres statements that make it easy to do as well😔

[stuck oyster]

is there a way to make a command that enables and disable it

[abstract kindle]

rip

[slate swan]

on button callbacks or just access children

[stuck oyster]

just access

[slate swan]

define not working

[slate swan]

like on a button click or a separate command?

[arctic gyro]

like it just purges 1 message as written in the code but doesnt timeout the member

[stuck oyster]

seperate command

[slate swan]

do you have intents?

[arctic gyro]

yes

[slate swan]

ViewSubclass.children[0].disabled = bool

[slate swan]

show your bot instance signature

[arctic gyro]

I heard from another guy that is should not be discord.User and should be disnake.User but discord-disnake isnt compatible

[slate swan]

nah

in this case it would be discord.Member if youre using dpy as the User class is a discord user and not a member of a guild which the Member class has the timeout method

[arctic gyro]

alright i'll try to change it to discord.Member
thx

[stuck oyster]

    @commands.command()
    async def leaf_enable(self, ctx):
        MyView.disabled = bool```
Like this?

[slate swan]

not quite

bool should be a literal bool and children must be used as it returns a list of components in a view which then you index the list of components to disabled the button you want in this case.

[stuck oyster]

MyView.children[0].disabled = True

[slate swan]

if its your first component and you want to disable it that is so

but you would need to edit the view.

which probably is impossible

so the whole command is useless

[stuck oyster]

ah so there is no way to edit it with a command

[slate swan]

afaik no

i think you could with a slash command im not sure

you could fetch the message and edit it with an interaction and send a new view with the current instance that has the button disabled idk

cant really try out sorry

[abstract kindle]

what is afaik

[slate swan]

as far as i know

[heavy folio]

is it wise to log command usages (logging.info) in on_command

[sage otter]

Why wouldn’t it be?

Especially since it’s for logging purposes

[heavy folio]

if i'd like to log it through a webhook to a discord channel, how would i do it (using the logging module)

[hushed galleon]

i think using the logging.handlers.QueueHandler with an asyncio.Queue and having a background task relay messages from it to your webhook would be a fair idea

assuming you dont log too much that is

[heavy folio]

im planning on sending it every 15 minutes
or when the length of list hits 30
then proceed to send it

[heavy folio]

someone did told me about making a logging handler but i still dont get it

[hushed galleon]

for batching your logs a MemoryHandler subclass would also be another option

[heavy folio]

hm is there a basic example?

!d logging.handlers.MemoryHandler

[unkempt canyon]

logging.handlers.MemoryHandler

class logging.handlers.MemoryHandler(capacity, flushLevel=ERROR, target=None, flushOnClose=True)```
Returns a new instance of the [`MemoryHandler`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/logging.handlers.html#logging.handlers.MemoryHandler "logging.handlers.MemoryHandler") class. The instance is initialized with a buffer size of *capacity* (number of records buffered). If *flushLevel* is not specified, `ERROR` is used. If no *target* is specified, the target will need to be set using [`setTarget()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/logging.handlers.html#logging.handlers.MemoryHandler.setTarget "logging.handlers.MemoryHandler.setTarget") before this handler does anything useful. If *flushOnClose* is specified as `False`, then the buffer is *not* flushed when the handler is closed. If not specified or specified as `True`, the previous behaviour of flushing the buffer will occur when the handler is closed.

Changed in version 3.6: The *flushOnClose* parameter was added.

[hushed galleon]

https://docs.python.org/3/howto/logging.html#configuring-logging

[heavy folio]

ty
also how do i add a handler if i used logging.basicConfig

[hushed galleon]

use the handlers= kwarg https://docs.python.org/3/library/logging.html#logging.basicConfig

This is in the shell, used jishaku.. I actually use modmails core and build plugins on that so if it shows here that means its imported.. all my other cogs work

Rebooting didnt do anything either smh

For the first time when I think I write perfect code

[little ivy]

How do I make sure the emoji the bot adds to a message, doesnt count? So i mean. If the bot ads the emoji, the action doesnt start. Only if a member ads it.

[supple thorn]

use a check

[little ivy]

check if what?

[supple thorn]

are you using on_reaction_add?

[little ivy]

euhh

yeah

[boreal ravine]

toptotal is safe

[supple thorn]

!d discord.on_reaction_add

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_reaction\_add

discord.on_reaction_add(reaction, user)```
Called when a message has a reaction added to it. Similar to [`on_message_edit()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.on_message_edit "discord.on_message_edit"), if the message is not found in the internal message cache, then this event will not be called. Consider using [`on_raw_reaction_add()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.on_raw_reaction_add "discord.on_raw_reaction_add") instead.

Note

To get the [`Message`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Message "discord.Message") being reacted, access it via [`Reaction.message`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Reaction.message "discord.Reaction.message").

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

Note

This doesn’t require [`Intents.members`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Intents.members "discord.Intents.members") within a guild context, but due to Discord not providing updated user information in a direct message it’s required for direct messages to receive this event. Consider using [`on_raw_reaction_add()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.on_raw_reaction_add "discord.on_raw_reaction_add") if you need this and do not otherwise want to enable the members intent.

[supple thorn]

iirc user has a bot attribute

!d discord.abc.User.bot

[unkempt canyon]

discord.abc.User.bot

If the user is a bot account.

[supple thorn]

okay but i still won't click on it

[alpine furnace]

It’s literally hastebin, lol

There is no download, discord just thinks it is a download because of .py

[manic wing]

clicking links cant do much

[cloud dawn]

hmm so instead of cogs now we combine client and command groups

[lofty pecan]

Hi there. I just would like to know what method is the best when you want to check user permissions before running a command. Basically only admin can use a specific command so is it better to use try /except or a simple if/else condition

And then put everything the bot has to perform in the if

[tacit storm]

you can use a check decorator to check if the user has a specific permission

[lofty pecan]

So def check(m) :

[tacit storm]

no, there’s built in checks to check weather or not a user has a permission

[lofty pecan]

Ho

[tacit storm]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/api.html?highlight=has_permission#discord.ext.commands.has_permissions

here ^

[lofty pecan]

Because I found this if ctx.message.author.server_permissions.administrator:

Hoooo

[tacit storm]

this will work perfectly fine to check if the use has a administrator permissions.

[lofty pecan]

I see! I put that after @commands.command

That's amazing!

[slate swan]

!d discord.ext.commands.has_permissions

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.has\_permissions

@discord.ext.commands.has_permissions(**perms)```
A [`check()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.check "discord.ext.commands.check") that is added that checks if the member has all of the permissions necessary.

Note that this check operates on the current channel permissions, not the guild wide permissions.

The permissions passed in must be exactly like the properties shown under [`discord.Permissions`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Permissions "discord.Permissions").

This check raises a special exception, [`MissingPermissions`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.MissingPermissions "discord.ext.commands.MissingPermissions") that is inherited from [`CheckFailure`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.CheckFailure "discord.ext.commands.CheckFailure").

[lofty pecan]

So @commands.has_any_role('Library Devs', 'Moderators', 492212595072434186) for example

And then for the roles I put the one that can use the command

[lofty pecan]

In the has_permission do I just have to put 'administrator '?

[boreal ravine]

no

[lofty pecan]

Or is it administrator=True?

[boreal ravine]

yes

[tacit storm]

this

it checks for a bool

[lofty pecan]

Oki

Well thank you that's really awesome!

[oak warren]

how do i edit the message which has the button ?
i tried edit_original_message but it edited the sent message

[spring flax]

Screenshot?

[slate swan]

The issue was I was on dpy1.7 but somehow was using the async to setup which was introduced in 2.0

[oak warren]

  await ctx.reply(embed = embed)

the output is

just that

someone help

[tacit storm]

embeds cannot have mp4’s.

this is a discord api limitation

[cosmic agate]

oh ok

^^

[supple thorn]

Oh

[supple thorn]

I just assumed you were on 2.0 since your add_cog method was a courotine now

[junior verge]

How do you get the guild ID when someone added the bot with a on_guild_join

[slate swan]

Yeah it was a dumb mistake on my part 💀 I was used to coding my plugins in 2.0 because I was getting ready for migration but had to make this quickly

[quick gust]

!d discord.Guild.id

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.id

The guild’s ID.

[quick gust]

use the guild parameter which is the Guild object

[junior verge]

just guild.id?

[quick gust]

yes

Alright ty

@quick gust another question, how do you get the membercount of that server that its added to?

[cosmic agate]

how to make bot send video without link showing up

[quick gust]

!d discord.Guild.member_count

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.member\_count

nono

video too big to make into gif

also has audio

[boreal ravine]

you can't

[cosmic agate]

uh

nvm

i found something that may/may not help

[boreal ravine]

Nice

[placid skiff]

it is better to have all cogs in a single folder, so you can import all of them at once

[stuck oyster]

await ctx.channel.fetch_message(961911342489567262)

How can I edit a view

I am trying to get the message id and edit the view

[slate swan]

send the new view

while editing

use the view kwarg

[stuck oyster]

    @commands.command()
    async def leaf_enable(self, ctx):
        channel = await ctx.channel.fetch_message(961911342489567262)
        view = MyView2()

        await channel.edit(view=view)```

Uh like this?

[slate swan]

I made a bot with a console but i tried to put a cpu state view on the console with while True: but commands not working ??

async def on_ready():
    bot.process_command
    while True:
        #my script

Like this

[stuck oyster]

its a command? then make it @bot.command

[slate swan]

Its not a command

[granite parcel]

@client.command()
async def img(ctx):
    image = Image.new(mode="RGB" (255,255,0), size=(100,100),  color=0xffff00)
    image.save(format="PNG")  
    await ctx.send(file = discord.File(filename="image.png"))```

Command raised an exception: TypeError: 'str' object is not callable

?

[slate swan]

I mean when i put while True: in @bot.event its just will print CPU and GPU state %

(i hided the script to print CPU and GPU btw)

And when i start my bot, its working but all commands are not responding

Its just do while true: and don't process command of my bot

[placid skiff]

strange

[slate swan]

async def on_ready():
    bot.process_commands
    while True:
        #script

        #print  ``` if someone want to see how looks my bot.event

Ofc i just changed my script to #script and the print to #print

[placid skiff]

there is no need to use process_commands in on_ready event

[heavy folio]

and fyi it's a coro

[placid skiff]

btw if even without it the commands doesn't work try to use the listen decorator

[slate swan]

So i put my while true: to a bot.listen() ?

But idk its will print when i start the bot

[stuck oyster]

hm

[slate swan]

Still not working

[hoary cargo]

i don't recommend you using loops in on_ready and in general overcomplicated code, because it might take hours to run, depends when the on_ready kicks in

[slate swan]

I already removed on_ready

And just put async def background_task():

With aioconsole but still not work so maybe i give up

Should i put await asyncio.sleep() ?

:oooo its working

[arctic gyro]

Hi , can anybody tell me how to ping everyone in an embed

[stuck oyster]

put @everyone in the embed description

[arctic gyro]

i did but that doesnt ping everyone

[stuck oyster]

oh you want it to ping

[arctic gyro]

yes

[stuck oyster]

await ctx.send("@everyone", embed=embed)

[slate swan]

How can i make a window like this

[arctic gyro]

TYSM that worked

[granite parcel]

can i set pillow images in the embed thumbnail?

anyone help?

[slate swan]

Seems like a modal

!d discord.ui.Modal

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ui.Modal

class discord.ui.Modal(*, title=..., timeout=None, custom_id=...)```
Represents a UI modal.

This object must be inherited to create a modal popup window within discord.

New in version 2.0.

Examples...

[slate swan]

!local-file

[unkempt canyon]

Thanks to discord.py, sending local files as embed images is simple. You have to create an instance of discord.File class:

# When you know the file exact path, you can pass it.
file = discord.File("/this/is/path/to/my/file.png", filename="file.png")

# When you have the file-like object, then you can pass this instead path.
with open("/this/is/path/to/my/file.png", "rb") as f:
    file = discord.File(f)

When using the file-like object, you have to open it in rb mode. Also, in this case, passing filename to it is not necessary.
Please note that filename can't contain underscores. This is a Discord limitation.

discord.Embed instances have a set_image method which can be used to set an attachment as an image:

embed = discord.Embed()
# Set other fields
embed.set_image(url="attachment://file.png")  # Filename here must be exactly same as attachment filename.

After this, you can send an embed with an attachment to Discord:

await channel.send(file=file, embed=embed)

This example uses discord.TextChannel for sending, but any instance of discord.abc.Messageable can be used for sending.

[slate swan]

you can set a local file as the embed image/thumbnail this way

[formal basin]

Why isn’t my setup command not working

[granite parcel]

[junior verge]

Is wavelink music against tos?

[supple thorn]

Dict doesn't have a append method

[formal basin]

I fixed my error but it won’t dump anything into the json file

[supple thorn]

Write into it then

Open it using write mode

And dump the things you need

[formal basin]

Ok

[formal basin]

Not working still

[supple thorn]

What do you mean by not working

[formal basin]

Won’t dump anything

[formal basin]

Won’t dump anything

[supple thorn]

No errors?

[formal basin]

Nope

[formal basin]

Wait

Actually yes

What does that mean

[supple thorn]

Also i strongly and highly suggest using an actual database for storing data

[supple thorn]

😔

[formal basin]

But I’m trying to learn how to use json files

[supple thorn]

Learn to use them for something else

Because storing data in json will bite you in the ass

[supple thorn]

I can also see you're using json to store money and bank data

[formal basin]

Yes

[supple thorn]

Try reload replit

[formal basin]

Ok

[supple thorn]

Because i can't see the line where dump is

Replit has a bug where it can sometimes doesn't save your changes

And what your looking at is ghost code

[supple thorn]

Why is your dump indented

Inside the opening of the file

You have the with open indented in your first with open

[supple thorn]

Bruh

[formal basin]

?

[supple thorn]

Why are you sending unrelated images

[formal basin]

You said send the dump thing

[stuck oyster]

    @discord.ui.button(label="Request Leaf", style=discord.ButtonStyle.green, emoji = "🍃", custom_id="persistent_view:leaf")

[supple thorn]

What send the dump thing

[stuck oyster]

    @commands.command()

        channel = await ctx.channel.fetch_message(961911342489567262)
        view = MyView2()

        await channel.edit(view=view)```

[formal basin]

Here

[stuck oyster]

button doesn't get disabled, it shows interaction failed

[supple thorn]

It's because i'm looking at your repl

[stuck oyster]

how can i disable it using the command

[formal basin]

https://replit.com/@zagzag990/Economy-4#main.py

Look at it

All the way at the bottom of main.py

Is my verify stuff

[placid skiff]

    with open("verify.json", "w") as f:
        json.dump(data, f)

[stuck oyster]

help

[supple thorn]

Also you're not writing anything

Into the json file

[formal basin]

How?

I am

[supple thorn]

You're dumping data which is the blank json into the same json

You're writing {}

Blvck help please

[placid skiff]

json, replit, if he is newbie at python this would be the best combo

[supple thorn]

😔

[supple thorn]

Explain it better than me i need help

[placid skiff]

i don't even know what he wants to do lol

[stuck oyster]

someone help me with this

[nimble plume]

help

[supple thorn]

Write data into a json file

[nimble plume]

await logs1.delete()
AttributeError: 'coroutine' object has no attribute 'delete'

delete a channel

[supple thorn]

He's actually writing {} though

[nimble plume]

pls help me?

[formal basin]

Yeah I need to dump stuff into my json file but it won’t work

[supple thorn]

It's because you're dumping nothing

Okay look

[nimble plume]

@supple thorn help me pls

[supple thorn]

When you opened the json file for the first time

You loaded it in data

[placid skiff]

it shows interaction failed because there is no interaction, also i'm sure that interaction is the first argument passed when a button is pressed

[supple thorn]

Data is now {}

[nimble plume]

await logs1.delete()
AttributeError: 'coroutine' object has no attribute 'delete'

[formal basin]

Yes

[supple thorn]

Because verify.json is blank

[formal basin]

Ok

[stuck oyster]

well, how would I fix that

[supple thorn]

Now when what you're dumping into the hson file is {}

You're legit dumping the same old data from itself

[placid skiff]

Dunno, read the docs i use views for components

[supple thorn]

You're not dumping anything new

[formal basin]

Then how do dump stuff

[placid skiff]

logs1 is not a channel

[supple thorn]

Dump actual shit

Dump your new_verify_role

[supple thorn]

What

[formal basin]

That’s what I dump?

[supple thorn]

Yes

[formal basin]

Ok

Done that

[supple thorn]

I'm guessing that's what you dump

[boreal ravine]

yes

[supple thorn]

Cause why would you have a variable that's a dictionary

[formal basin]

The id and the name is what I’m trying to dump

[supple thorn]

Then yes

Dump that

See if it works

If it doesn't fix your indentation

[formal basin]

Ok

Yeah my indentation is crazy

[boreal ravine]

Use black

it'll make your code look a bit better

[supple thorn]

What

I don't think there is black in replit

[formal basin]

When it dumps it does this {}

[boreal ravine]

There is.

pip install black

black .
``` in the shell.

[supple thorn]

There is?

I don't usually mess with replit's configuration when testing

I'll try that next time i try shit i don't want on my laptop

[flat solstice]

so I see that discord.Intent.messages and discord.Intent.message_content both apply toon_message() (both guilds and DMs) on_message_edit() (both guilds and DMs) on_message_delete() (both guilds and DMs) on_raw_message_delete() (both guilds and DMs) on_raw_message_edit() (both guilds and DMs)I presume I need discord.Intent.messages for events such as on_message_edit and on_messsage_delete to even fire and then I need discord.Intent.message_content to see the content of the msg that was deleted/edited? so if I only wanted to know that a message was deleted/edited but not what the msg actually was I'd just the discord.Intent.messages

[boreal ravine]

Any errors?

[junior verge]

Nope

Nvm it works now my bad sorry

[placid skiff]

nope
messages intent applies to message events, message_content intent is used to retrieve content of mostly message object

[placid skiff]

the image provides embed info

[lyric apex]

Not this

I was talking about the image preview color when we use randomcolor of dyno

[slate swan]

There is an api for random colors but idk how to apply the color on the image

[austere solstice]

The side color of dyno logo?

!d discord.Thread

[slate swan]

Not familiar with Threads but it still a channel so you'll need to use get_channel or discord.utils.get

[muted dagger]

me

[hoary cargo]

why? what's the point of this? color/{}.format(myhexcolor) when you can just color/{hexcode} not to talk about f strings are faster than formatting and looks better

[slate swan]

I thought he wants to get an image color + hex color so thats why i gave him that api

[slate swan]

^

[hoary cargo]

i'm talking about the formatting

why even use .format in such situation lol

[slate swan]

Its because idk lmao

[lyric apex]

Yeah something like this i was talking

[hoary cargo]

most probably dyno has some image manipulation code, otherwise, you can get a pic with the color and put it inside your embed

[lyric apex]

Yeah but which module would i use to make something like that

[hoary cargo]

something like this

[hoary cargo]

just do a request to the endpoint

[lyric apex]

I Maked This already

I wanted something unique so

[hoary cargo]

well, so you want what exactly? put the hex color over a certain pic

[stuck oyster]

   @discord.ui.button(label="Request Leaf", style=discord.ButtonStyle.green, emoji = "🍃", custom_id="persistent_view:leaf")

How can edit the view without waiting for an interaction

[slate swan]

i'm trying to add slash commands in a cog and dont know what do do with this error

[slate swan]

self.bot

and, please, switch to dpy 2

dont use discord_components

[hoary cargo]

it's quite confusing what;s in there

[slate swan]

theres a dpy 2?

didnt know that

[lyric apex]

Yes

[hoary cargo]

well, it's not officially released on pypi, but it's in development

[slate swan]

ok

[slate swan]

you can install it using - pip install git+https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py

there are some breaking changes though

[visual island]

without waiting for an interaction
So when/where exactly do you want to edit the view?

[hushed galleon]

store the message object in the view when you first send it and use that to make edits when you dont have an interaction

or using your interaction's followup webhook with edit_original_message() might also be suitable, though i would save that for ephemeral views

[slate swan]

Isnt there a except for cogs? Like

try:
   load_extension("cog")
except ExtensionAlreadyLoaded:
  ...```

[hushed galleon]

nah you have to write that try/except yourself

tho if you use the jishaku extension their load command handles it for you

[jovial plover]

can discord bot upload emojis

[hushed galleon]

yes, using the Guild's create_custom_emoji() method

[jovial plover]

discord.Guild.create\_custom\_emoji

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

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

There is currently a limit of 50 static and animated emojis respectively per guild, unless the guild has the `MORE_EMOJI` feature which extends the limit to 200.

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

[hasty lake]

I'm fairly certain it's because of readthedocs being slow

[slate swan]

🧢

search's hyperlinks work fine enough

it takes a solid sec for it to load the endpoint compared to the desktop ver

and there we go, now it doesnt even redirect me to the docs

it died as usual
