[slate swan]

imagine

you cant declare a constant inside an object like that.

discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: OperationalError: no such column: arg

????

[slate swan]

please go to djs server, thats the correct place to ask the question, as you can see the server name its python.

[paper sluice]

do u know sql queries?

[slate swan]

they want you to learn js before using discord.js, and so do we

[slate swan]

so and so

[paper sluice]

um then learn them. It would be easier for you to do what you want

[sick birch]

We don’t help with JavaScript here, as mentioned

[slate swan]

Ok. But if the arg is in the str of query , should it throw that error?

[sick birch]

No need to insult them

And that doesn’t change the fact that you’re not getting help here

[paper sluice]

well they are not wrong, you are supposed to learn js b4 using djs just like ur supposed to know python b4 making discord bots

[sick birch]

Again, we don’t help with JavaScript

I suggest you stop asking because the answer is no

[paper sluice]

ask in a js server :p

[granite parcel]

hi

    @commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_message(self, message):
        db = sqlite3.connect('afk.db')
        cursor =  db.cursor()
        cursor.execute(f"SELECT user FROM afk WHERE user = {message.author.id}")
        result = cursor.fetchone()
        if result is not None:
            cursor.execute(f"DELETE FROM afk WHERE user = {message.author.id}")
            await message.channel.send(f"Welcome Back **{message.author}**, I removed your AFK. You were afk")
            db.commit()```

[granite parcel]

using this instantly removes the data if we use afk cmd

how to fix'

[zealous jay]

I have a few commands inside a cog, how do I make subcommands? Im using slash commands with discord.py

[warped mirage]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/odevekicim guys rate what i coded

first try and it works , i guess the best thing is to try ur best

[slate swan]

seems nice, there can be improvements

[warped mirage]

im so confused tho can u show me where can i add like a welcome message or smth

[slate swan]

class welcomesystem: 
# should be pascalcase
class WelcomeSystem:

async with aiosqlite.connect("wm.db") as db:
``` instead of making connections  each time, you can have a single connection througout the cog or the file using `cog_load` method

```py
async def cog_load(self) -> None:
  self.db = await aiosqlite.connect("wm.db")

and simply use self.db to get the database whenever you want to

[warped mirage]

can u help me fixed that please?

[slate swan]

begin with the first part, change the class name's case

[warped mirage]

i never do that i always keep em lower case

[warped mirage]

oh so for the welcome make it WelcomeSystem?

anyways @slate swan lets continue

[young pendant]

hey guys, how to send message in channel every 5 minutes for example

[slate swan]

how to send file AND message with requests module (im using webhook) i dont want other module/library so dont say plz

[slate swan]

next instead of making connections multiple times you can use single connection

class MyCog(commands.Cog):
  async def cog_load(self):
    self.db = await aiosqlite.connect("wm.db")

  @commands.command()
  async def foo(self, _):
    database = self.db

[warped mirage]

so can u help me edit mine

if possible?

[slate swan]

https://discord.com/developers/docs/resources/webhook#execute-webhook

!d requests.post

[unkempt canyon]

requests.post

requests.post(url, data=None, json=None, **kwargs)```
Sends a POST request.

[slate swan]

use a task loop ```py
from discord.ext import tasks

@tasks.loop(minutes=5)
async def sending_messages():

send message

...```

[young pendant]

guys, pls help me, if i do this in while True with time.sleep in on_ready func, i get this warning every 10 secs

[slate swan]

no thats a very bad way of doing it

[slate swan]

well i just told everything you need to do

[young pendant]

thank u so much, how to start this func and what if want to use random interval every time

[warped mirage]

i rlly dont get it .. if u could that be greay

[slate swan]

sending_messages.start() to start it, for random you would have to make some dynamic stuff

[young pendant]

thanks, can u tell me more about "dinamic stuff"?

[shrewd apex]

can u do this with like this as well

bot.con = await aiohttp.ClientSession()
#reqs using
result = await bot.con.get('link')

[pliant gulch]

You should also include a cog_unload method since you aren't using a context manager with the connect

To handle closing the connection gracefully

[slate swan]

ofcourse

[slate swan]

yeah, True
keeping the connection open would be bad

!d discord.ext.commands.Cog.cog_unload

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Cog.cog\_unload

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

A special method that is called when the cog gets removed.

Subclasses must replace this if they want special unloading behaviour.

Changed in version 2.0: This method can now be a [coroutine](https://docs.python.org/3/glossary.html#term-coroutine "(in Python v3.10)").

[slate swan]

oh, never knew this existed

[warped mirage]

@slate swan I have many connections and it confuses me lmao

[shrewd apex]

yeah asking i normally do with databases seeing ur example i got a light bulb moment

[slate swan]

just add another await asyncio.sleep(random.choice(int)) inside that task so the timings are random

[young pendant]

where to paste this line? in on_ready?

[slate swan]

making requests in on_ready is bad, you should use bot.wait_until_ready() for the cache to get loaded first, then start the task

[young pendant]

i ve solved it

[slate swan]

this is noice, and i've been using aiohttp to read emojis from the url manually all the time https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/dc8aef7e6aadaaec81d3e31a64840f60ec8425ee/discord/http.py#L522-L531

[unkempt canyon]

discord/http.py lines 522 to 531

async def get_from_cdn(self, url: str) -> bytes:
    async with self.__session.get(url) as resp:
        if resp.status == 200:
            return await resp.read()
        elif resp.status == 404:
            raise NotFound(resp, 'asset not found')
        elif resp.status == 403:
            raise Forbidden(resp, 'cannot retrieve asset')
        else:
            raise HTTPException(resp, 'failed to get asset')```

[slate swan]

😔 you can even use bot.http.__session.get() to get it to work, not suggested though.

[pliant gulch]

All this just for some error messages

[warped mirage]

I need help

[slate swan]

dpy moment

[shrewd apex]

yeah i use the connection in many place altho creating a bot.con won't make it faster but looks neater atleast

[pliant gulch]

You should probably not use the internal session

[slate swan]

agreed, playing with internals is not a noice idea

[pliant gulch]

Don't they embed your bot's token into the headers?

[slate swan]

since that may have ur headers

[pliant gulch]

That's really the only problem

[slate swan]

yes

[warped mirage]

Damn

[slate swan]

wot if i do bot.http.__session.get("url", headers={})

[pliant gulch]

Also it's not bot.http.__session, if you notice there is two leading underscores. That means it's name mangled. You have to access it via bot.http._HTTPClient__session

[slate swan]

oh it was a double underscore and i was trying to ctrl+f http._HTTPClient_session 😔

[pliant gulch]

Yea just editted cause I realised I only put one

Not really sure why discord.py decided to use name mangling, as pep8 says somewhere iirc that name mangling isn't meant for private access. Rather used for subclassing stuff

[warped mirage]

@slate swan can u please help me then or nah

ok

[slate swan]

How can I make an Cooldown for an command only for an server that recently used the command?

[zealous jay]

!d discord.ext.commands.cooldown

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.cooldown

@discord.ext.commands.cooldown(rate, per, type=discord.ext.commands.BucketType.default)```
A decorator that adds a cooldown to a [`Command`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Command "discord.ext.commands.Command")

A cooldown allows a command to only be used a specific amount of times in a specific time frame. These cooldowns can be based either on a per-guild, per-channel, per-user, per-role or global basis. Denoted by the third argument of `type` which must be of enum type [`BucketType`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.BucketType "discord.ext.commands.BucketType").

If a cooldown is triggered, then [`CommandOnCooldown`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.CommandOnCooldown "discord.ext.commands.CommandOnCooldown") is triggered in [`on_command_error()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.discord.ext.commands.on_command_error "discord.discord.ext.commands.on_command_error") and the local error handler.

A command can only have a single cooldown.

[zealous jay]

Example:

@commands.cooldown(1, 30, commands.BucketType.guild)

Can only be used once every 30 seconds and the cooldown applies for the entire guild

[slate swan]

Thanks!

[zealous jay]

no problem

[warped mirage]

can someone here help me

[zealous jay]

what do you want to do?

[warped mirage]

i coded a multi guild welcome system , can i send code and then explain what i want?

[zealous jay]

sure

altough I can't help you rn

[warped mirage]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/fagegemavu

[tawdry perch]

You are using await in normal function?

[sly hamlet]

yea

[tawdry perch]

That's the error I guess

[sly hamlet]

how do i fix it

[warped mirage]

can someone help me code

[paper sluice]

@bot.event
async def on_command_error....

[sly hamlet]

cant use bot.event i am in a cog and on 2.0

[tawdry perch]

Use listener then

[slate swan]

commands.Cog.listener

[sly hamlet]

so ```py
@commands.Cog.listener()
def on_command_error(interaction: discord.Interaction, error):
if isinstance(error, commands.CommandOnCooldown):
await interaction.response.send_message(f'This command is on cooldown. Please wait {error.retry_after:.2f}s')

    elif isinstance(error, commands.MissingPermissions):
        await interaction.response.send_message('You do not have the permissions to use this command.')```

[warped mirage]

Yo can u help me code the set and remove welcome message

[paper sluice]

Cog is part of discord.ext.commands

[sly hamlet]

so that?

[paper sluice]

ya

are you trying to handle errors in slash commands?

[sly hamlet]

i am using slash commads but the error i am making is only one

[slate swan]

declare it as an async function too

[sly hamlet]

how??????

[slate swan]

async def on_command_error

[slate swan]

um yeah, what exactly do you need help with

[sly hamlet]

ok thx

[warped mirage]

So u saw my code | correct or incorrect

[sly hamlet]

Does the error handler need to be at the top or the bottom of the file?

[slate swan]

as i said, the code was correct, but there can be improvements

[warped mirage]

I made a multi guild system , u can select the channel / remove the channel for ur welcome system . Now I need to code a message to the so set message welcome to server {member.mention} in discord or smth like that and msg del

Something like that if it makes sense

[slate swan]

doesn matter

[warped mirage]

Ur own message

[slate swan]

use a database

[sly hamlet]

Interesting because it doesn't seem to be working

[warped mirage]

…..

I am using it and I coded half

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/fagegemavu code if interested

now i need to continue

[placid skiff]

What you want it's a bit confusing tbh...

[warped mirage]

ok lemme explain one sec

i have wm_set (chooses welcome channel) wm_del (removes the channel) now i want to code a msg_set (welcome message) msg_del (remove welcome message)

does this make more sense?

[slate swan]

in simple words -> you want to display custom greeting messages

[warped mirage]

so for msg_set eg = {prefix}msg_set welcome {member.mention} to server

[warped mirage]

correct!

[maiden fable]

Lmao

[slate swan]

good luck with it

[warped mirage]

well i need help xd

[sly hamlet]

Any idea of what's wrong?

[slate swan]

are they slash commands?

[sly hamlet]

Yes

[slate swan]

then you need a seperate error handler

[sly hamlet]

What would that be?

[warped mirage]

anyways if someone can help me just ping me that would be great!

[keen mural]

how could i check if someone has a role in a specific guild

[slate swan]

from discord import Interaction
from discord.app_commands import AppCommandError

bot = commands.Bot(...)
tree = bot.tree

@tree.error
async def on_app_command_error(interaction: Interaction, exc: AppCommandError):
    ...```

[slate swan]

@sly hamlet

[slate swan]

make a custom check?

[dense swallow]

is there a way i can disable a button after a certain period of time, like a timeout.. i searched thru the docs, couldnt find a timeout function for buttons..

[keen mural]

what are you using

[slate swan]

subclassing the View class or not?

[keen mural]

wdym

[slate swan]

def my_custom_check():
    def predicate(ctx):
        # a function that takes ctx as it's only arg, that returns a truethy or falsey value, or raises an exception
    return commands.check(predicate) 

The predicate can be a coroutine, the indentaion might be a bit weird since im on phone

[sly hamlet]

I get tree is not defined

[slate swan]

write the logic inside predicate and use the check as a deco above the command

[keen mural]

well i want the cmd to work in any server but check to see if someone has a specific role in a specific server

[warped mirage]

Actually wait

[slate swan]

wait, you can use an inbuilt method for that

[maiden fable]

?

[slate swan]

!d discord.ext.commands.has_role

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.has\_role

@discord.ext.commands.has_role(item)```
A [`check()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.check "discord.ext.commands.check") that is added that checks if the member invoking the command has the role specified via the name or ID specified.

If a string is specified, you must give the exact name of the role, including caps and spelling.

If an integer is specified, you must give the exact snowflake ID of the role.

If the message is invoked in a private message context then the check will return `False`.

This check raises one of two special exceptions, [`MissingRole`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.MissingRole "discord.ext.commands.MissingRole") if the user is missing a role, or [`NoPrivateMessage`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.NoPrivateMessage "discord.ext.commands.NoPrivateMessage") if it is used in a private message. Both inherit from [`CheckFailure`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.CheckFailure "discord.ext.commands.CheckFailure").

Changed in version 1.1: Raise [`MissingRole`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.MissingRole "discord.ext.commands.MissingRole") or [`NoPrivateMessage`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.NoPrivateMessage "discord.ext.commands.NoPrivateMessage") instead of generic [`CheckFailure`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.CheckFailure "discord.ext.commands.CheckFailure")...

[warped mirage]

Scroll up I guess

[slate swan]

and use the role id and not the name

[keen mural]

guild = ctx.guild
  booster_role = discord.utils.get(guild.roles, name = 'Server Booster・₊˚‧')
  if booster_role in ctx.author.roles:```
i have this rn

ok

[maiden fable]

What do you need help with? The welcome system?

[warped mirage]

Ye

I’m 1/2 done

[maiden fable]

What about it

[warped mirage]

So as I mentioned .. one sec

[slate swan]

@commands.has_role(role_id)
@bot.command()
async def foo(): ...```

[maiden fable]

I'm here for another 10, maybe 15 min then I gotta sleep

[warped mirage]

i have wm_set (chooses welcome channel) wm_del (removes the channel) now i want to code a msg_set (welcome message) msg_del (remove welcome message)

[maiden fable]

Okay?

[warped mirage]

But idk how lmao it confuses me the more I code into the system

I need help making it I guess

[maiden fable]

Do you have a db set up?

[warped mirage]

Yes

[slate swan]

how are you making slash commads then? which lib?

[maiden fable]

What's ur db structure

[warped mirage]

Multiple connections tho 💀

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/fagegemavu

[slate swan]

the reason im not helping you anymore is you wont ever listen to my advice

[keen mural]

i tried before didnt work

[warped mirage]

Damn

[keen mural]

idk why

[maiden fable]

BTW they say their error is tree not defined, not commands.Bot has no attribute tree idk if they telling wrong

[maiden fable]

Connect to the db once on startup and store it in a botvar

[warped mirage]

Damn I had a stroke reading that xd

[slate swan]

wait yeah, tree is an attribute of the Bot object

[slate swan]

no errors?

[warped mirage]

I just need help editing my code

[keen mural]

brb

[sly hamlet]

i fixed it but have this problum py Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Users\culan\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\lib\site-packages\discord\app_commands\tree.py", line 933, in wrapper await self.call(interaction) File "C:\Users\culan\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\lib\site-packages\discord\app_commands\tree.py", line 1097, in call await self.on_error(interaction, e) File "C:\Users\culan\OneDrive\Desktop\3.0.0 echo\echo.py", line 57, in on_app_command_error if isinstance(error, commands.CommandOnCooldown): NameError: name 'error' is not defined

[maiden fable]

Rip my SQL skills

[maiden fable]

Code

[warped mirage]

It’s not that bad I guess

[sly hamlet]

@tree.error
async def on_app_command_error(interaction: Interaction, exc: AppCommandError):
    if isinstance(exc, commands.CommandOnCooldown):
        await interaction.response.send_message(f'This command is on cooldown. Please wait {error.retry_after:.2f}s')

    elif isinstance(exc, commands.MissingPermissions):
        await interaction.response.send_message('You do not have the permissions to use this command.')```

[maiden fable]

My SQL skills are

[slate swan]

dude

[maiden fable]

Use exc not error

[warped mirage]

E.g = msg_set hello welcome {member.mention} then msg_del

[sly hamlet]

ok thx

[slate swan]

fml, I hate helping here now

[maiden fable]

And yea, learn some basic Python

[maiden fable]

Lmao sometimes I love dpy server for this

[maiden fable]

Okay?

[keen mural]

it only works in the guild the role is in, otherwise it says role (id) is required for the command

[warped mirage]

Damn u don’t get the point alright it’s fine

[maiden fable]

Ah wait I get it

[slate swan]

I literally strain to keep passive

[slate swan]

use the name instead

[maiden fable]

So when the msg_set command is ran u want the bot to set the welcome msg

[keen mural]

ok

[warped mirage]

Life is not all about 2.0 tho

[warped mirage]

It’s multi guilded but ye

[maiden fable]

I got a stroke reading that

[warped mirage]

Then msg_del deletes it

[maiden fable]

Have a different record/row for each guild

[slate swan]

wasnt even targetting you... lol

[warped mirage]

Well I showed my code

[maiden fable]

And set the field as welcome_msg

[sly hamlet]

So when using the error handler I don't get anything back. But I also don't get an error inside of my side on my panel

[keen mural]

still nope

its only checking the ctx.authors guild

[slate swan]

@maiden fable

[maiden fable]

On mobile rn, can't really understand code that well on mobile and dont wanna strain my eyes at 12 midnight lmao

Oh, hm

Bro, why u overcomplicating this wtf

[warped mirage]

Idk

[slate swan]

still dont understand your point, sorry

[maiden fable]

U just need to make sure no one is inputting any eval or smth then u can easily do it

Just use the UPDATE statement to update the text msg

[keen mural]

im trying to check if someone has a role in a specific guild

[maiden fable]

DELETE statement to delete the text msg

And so on

[keen mural]

and i want the cmd to work from any guild

[warped mirage]

Umm

[maiden fable]

Ngl welcome message system is one of the easiest one to make

[warped mirage]

Makes no sense but thanks for that I’ll just code something

[maiden fable]

Nvm I'mma just go

[slate swan]

oooooooof, I see now, just fetch the member object from that guild and use the roles property on it

[warped mirage]

Non multi guild

That’s correct

3 lines of code

[maiden fable]

multi guild is also easy

U just need basic DB knowledge

[sly hamlet]

Thoughts?

[maiden fable]

then its a piece of cake

[keen mural]

uhh

[maiden fable]

Why fetch tho

[dense swallow]

yes

[dense swallow]

discord.py 2.0a

[slate swan]

mine is literally implemented within 15-20 lines with proper return types

[lethal moat]

bot = nextcord.Client()
bot_guild = bot.get_guild(GUILD ID)
whitelisted_role = bot_guild.get_role(WHITELIST ROLE ID)
waitlist_role = bot_guild.get_role(WAITLIST ROLE ID)

why is it not working? isnt that how its supposed to be??

the bot IS in the guild whos id I entered
the id IS correct

[dense swallow]

use discord.utils.get

[slate swan]

bot_guild is None

[lethal moat]

ye but h O W

[dense swallow]

is there a get_role in bot obj?

[slate swan]

class ViewCls(View):
    def __init__(self):
         super().__init__(timeout=seconds)```

[lethal moat]

the code is right above the screenshot

[slate swan]

Either guild id is wrong, or it's not cached

[lethal moat]

guild id is right, and its cached

[slate swan]

How do you know it is cached?

[dense swallow]

i have this, but i thought this was only for menus, thanks

[slate swan]

hunter....sorry

[lethal moat]

why wouldnt it be

[wet crystal]

How can I send a dm with ctx

[slate swan]

You called the get_* function just after initializing the bot..?

[slate swan]

dm whom?

[wet crystal]

the ctx.author

[lethal moat]

ahh yes I am dumb I forgot the main FOKEN part of the entire code

[wet crystal]

of a command

[lethal moat]

the on_ready function

[dull terrace]

How do you decide whether to scrap all your code and start again or try to clean up very old code

[slate swan]

ctx.author.send

[wet crystal]

thanks

[lethal moat]

make a backup, try clearing it up
if its too tedious just revert

[slate swan]

if the code is just too badly written, consider re-writing

[dull terrace]

I think im gonna have to, it was the first bot i made

[maiden fable]

?

Okay the discord app hates me smh

[sly hamlet]

Anything on this?

[wet crystal]

no wait

[dull terrace]

saved everything in pickle files and have some obtuse code and it's all using message content

[wet crystal]

not send to the channel

send a dm

[slate swan]

I mean, get or fetch same thing

wth

[maiden fable]

Fetch same thing*

[dull terrace]

2.5k lines of code to rewrite, here we goooo 😤

[maiden fable]

[slate swan]

anyways, best of luck

[maiden fable]

I have also started procrastinating my bot rewrite for some reason again

[slate swan]

my case was way worse, I re-wrote my bot for the third time and i never pushed it to github, and my laptop just....died, now im writing it for the 4th time

[maiden fable]

U haven't enabled Auto Save?

[slate swan]

me who saves code after writing like every 4-5 lines

[maiden fable]

Lmao my code is saved on every key press

I press K, the code is saved. I press Enter, the code is saved

[slate swan]

died as in all of its hard disk and memory got corrupted

[maiden fable]

And for some reason I still press Ctrl S every 2 min

[maiden fable]

Rip

[dull terrace]

after every 4 lines i press ctrl+s about 4 times just to double check it has saved

[slate swan]

me addicted to pressing ctrl s so much that i do that for no reason everywhere

[maiden fable]

Same

[maiden fable]

I do that on every line

Even when it's already saved and formatted automatically

[sly hamlet]

Can anybody help me on this please?

[dull terrace]

i'd change if data is not None: to else: and remove both return statements for clarity but otherwise i see nothing obviously broken

ohhh

[warped mirage]

well i need help because , i coded wm_set (set welcome channel) wm_del (remove welcome channel ) now i need help doing the welcome message and removing it

[dull terrace]

result = (await cursor.fetchone())[0]

[warped mirage]

?

[dull terrace]

right now you're fetching the cursor but not defining the data you're fetching as anything

[warped mirage]

could u please help me with them 2 , ill send code

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/fagegemavu

[dull terrace]

idk what you're asking me to help with

[warped mirage]

do u see my code?

[dull terrace]

yes

[warped mirage]

now i wanna code 2 more commands , msg_set (set a welcome message ) msg_del (delete the message)

[slate swan]

use the error classes from app_commands not commands

[dull terrace]

so you're asking me to code two functions for you? we don't do that here

anyway better stop procrastinating and get back to this rewrite

[warped mirage]

no .....

[sly hamlet]

Isn't that what I'm doing?

[slate swan]

if isinstance(exc, commands...)

^ please read your code

[warped mirage]

done https://paste.pythondiscord.com/fetofeguxe now someone help me fix my msg_del and msg_add

[sly hamlet]

so i need if isinstance(exc, app_commands.CommandOnCooldown):

[regal pulsar]

hello

[slate swan]

fix? you're storing the guild id along with the channel id instesd of the text

[regal pulsar]

lmao

[warped mirage]

Well then help me lol

I coded the 2 commands now time to fix it 😂

[regal pulsar]

too bad i suck at sql

What is a category channel?
I really don't understand what the docs are trying to tell me.

!d discord.CategoryChannel

[sly hamlet]

ok thx

[unkempt canyon]

discord.CategoryChannel

class discord.CategoryChannel```
Represents a Discord channel category.

These are useful to group channels to logical compartments.

x == y Checks if two channels are equal.

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

hash(x) Returns the category’s hash.

str(x) Returns the category’s name.

[slate swan]

like this server has categories like -> information, news, etc. see the channels list

[wet crystal]

then what is catagory for?

[slate swan]

?

[wet crystal]

!d discord.Guild.categories

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.categories

property categories```
A list of categories that belongs to this guild.

This is sorted by the position and are in UI order from top to bottom.

[wet crystal]

oh

i just read it
my bad

yeah, I thought its like diffrent things but the same idk

[warped mirage]

Anyways can someone help me

[wet crystal]

@slate swan
Do you also know if there is a difference between these two methods?

nextcord.Guild.create_category()
nextcord.Guild.create_category_channel()

[slate swan]

probably aliases

!d discord.Guild.create_category

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.create\_category

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

Same as [`create_text_channel()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Guild.create_text_channel "discord.Guild.create_text_channel") except makes a [`CategoryChannel`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.CategoryChannel "discord.CategoryChannel") instead.

Note

The `category` parameter is not supported in this function since categories cannot have categories.

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`.

[slate swan]

!d discord.Guild.create_category_channel

[unkempt canyon]

[slate swan]

yeah aliases

[warped mirage]

Can someone help me

[wet crystal]

Does anyone know if this is going to work?

if nextcord.CategoryChannel.name("Trolls") in nextcord.Guild.categories:
  ...

[full lily]

with what

[full lily]

give it a go

[slate swan]

it wont

since categorychannel is the baseclass for an object that holds data

[warped mirage]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/fetofeguxe set_msg and del_msg

[full lily]

what about it

[warped mirage]

I need to fix them lol

So set msg = set welcome msg , del msg ( deletes the msg)

[dense swallow]

how do i disable a button in one page of help menu, and then enable it in the rest?
eg: home button which redirects to home page should not be in the home, it should be disabled.. whereas in other cogs, it should be enabled so tht users can go to that page

[wet crystal]

ok but how else am I going to make it work?

if there is a channel with this name then do this and if not then create this channel and do this

I cant use a whole channel object since the channel doesn't exist in the scenario.
So I only use the name

[slate swan]

get the guild categories first, extract the names out of it use the name property and then iterate through the list to check if the name matches else create it, discord.utils.find could be an alternative to this

[wet crystal]

I have found this in the official Docs.
What is lambda for?

member = nextcord.utils.find(lambda m: m.name == 'Mighty', channel.guild.members)

[slate swan]

think of it as a one liner function

[wet crystal]

what is it doing, and is it necessary?

[slate swan]

yeh

[dense swallow]

if anyone know, pls reply

[slate swan]

you might want to use the interaction_check event inside the class

!d discord.ui.View.interaction_check

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ui.View.interaction\_check

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

A callback that is called when an interaction happens within the view that checks whether the view should process item callbacks for the interaction.

This is useful to override if, for example, you want to ensure that the interaction author is a given user.

The default implementation of this returns `True`.

Note

If an exception occurs within the body then the check is considered a failure and [`on_error()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.ui.View.on_error "discord.ui.View.on_error") is called.

[wet crystal]

I dont really know about buttons but maybe try some if statements like if its home page then show only these buttons

idk tho

[slate swan]

check the embed, get the view's children, and disable the required button using the disabled property

[flint isle]

does anyone know how i can convert a google firebase code into being able to be stored in .env

[zealous jay]

Hey! Quick question, how do I make subcommands for slashcommands? Using discord.py

or commands groups, are they the same thing?

[potent spear]

doesn't have anything to do with this channel though
#❓｜how-to-get-help

[flint isle]

oh sorry

[potent spear]

what's your source

why do you think discord.Option exists?

[flint isle]

    @commands.command(name='logoff')
    @disnake.ext.commands.is_owner()
    async def logoff(self, inter):

does anyone know how i can settup the logoff error for if the commanding user is not the owner

[potent spear]

no idea how to use that lib

[slate swan]

on_command_error event, and comparing the error's class with NotOwner

the error class is NotOwner right, please correct me if im wrong

[young pendant]

hey guys, i have this code, in func sending_messages i send message in channel. its work but sometimes i have strange warnings and errors and this bot stop sending messages, but program continue working. why it could be?

[flint isle]

i have not messed with errors handlers for a while. do you have an example for a basic error handler

[slate swan]

https://gist.github.com/EvieePy/7822af90858ef65012ea500bcecf1612 this is a very decent one

[flint isle]

i use disnake. should i just replace any "discord" with disnake?

[slate swan]

yessir

[flint isle]

and do i put it as a cog?

like a seprate cog or inside a cog

[slate swan]

yes it is, tho you can modify it and use normally

making your own code is a better choice

[flint isle]

ok

[glass tangle]

what is a cog?

[potent spear]

you can read that in the docs

[celest marlin]

Looking to hire someone for a current project, dm me if interested

[potent spear]

a dict without an url key

[wet crystal]

why is nextcord.Guild.categories returning

instead of a list of categories?

[sly hamlet]

thare u go

[vale wing]

How do you use it in code

[vale wing]

As @potent spear already said there's no "url" key in the returned dict, but there's "image"

[wet crystal]

@bot.command()

  categories = nexcord.Guild.categories
  print(categories)

[vale wing]

Lmfao

Man wtf

[wet crystal]

wdym?

[potent spear]

I already told you to learn OOP first

[vale wing]

I mean you don't copy text straight from docs

[wet crystal]

ik 😔

[vale wing]

You just made a reference to a method of a class

[sick birch]

Print out realResponse, maybe you got an error and got something back that you weren't expecting

[wet crystal]

which method?

[vale wing]

Idk if I can call properties methods but in fact they use methods

[vocal plover]

if you've said you get back {"image": "..."} why are you using "url" not "image"?

[vale wing]

"Decorated methods that don't require calling" might be a weird definition but probably valid

[sly hamlet]

so this embed.set_image(url = realResponse['image'])

[vocal plover]

yes

assuming you're getting back the data you think you are

i coded a set welcome channel + remove command , i also need help fixing my set welcome message and delete command , https://paste.pythondiscord.com/fetofeguxe can someone assist me

get_channel

[warped mirage]

SniperGlitcherz wsg can u help me

[wet crystal]

Now why the &$§/ is it called CHANNEL and not CATERGORY
I have been looking for A WHOLE HOUR AND THOUGH CAHNNEL IS ACTUALLY CHANNEL

[vale wing]

!d discord.CategoryChannel no idea honestly

[unkempt canyon]

discord.CategoryChannel

class discord.CategoryChannel```
Represents a Discord channel category.

These are useful to group channels to logical compartments.

x == y Checks if two channels are equal.

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

hash(x) Returns the category’s hash.

str(x) Returns the category’s name.

[potent spear]

just ask 1 question at a time, just sending your whole code and saying "something doesn't do what it should" is just not done

example

[vale wing]

Probably discord API considers categories the channels as well

[potent spear]

hey, I made a command which I expect to do X when I do !shit remove
but actually, it does Y
can anyone tell me why? <command codeblock>

u cant make it better then that

[slate swan]

You dont need await to execute or fetch

you need to.

[vale wing]

You do

It's aiosqlite

[slate swan]

Oh

I didn't see that

My bad

I use sqlite which dont need await

[warped mirage]

basically what i did

[vale wing]

Use async wrapper for async app

Simple sqlite will cause issues

[warped mirage]

is copied the code from wm_set (set welcome channel) and changed some stuff

so now i need to uknow make it into what it should be

[wet crystal]

lol

[vale wing]

Personally I hate aiosqlite but we all gotta use it if we want to keep using sqlite

[wet crystal]

this is odd and my brain cant comprehend that

[vale wing]

I use postgres cuz asyncpg is much more convenient

[warped mirage]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/fetofeguxe if someone can help me that would be great (last 2 commands)

[vale wing]

@warped mirage do you have a global error handler (on_command_error)?

[warped mirage]

no

[vale wing]

And you get no errors?

[potent spear]

the mosty important question of them all

what's "not working" about it?

[warped mirage]

..... one sec

File "C:\Users\Dom\Desktop\beta test\cogs\welcomesystem.py", line 68, in set_msg
async with aiosqlite("wm.db") as db:
TypeError: 'module' object is not callable

[vale wing]

self.client.get_channel() with no arguments would definitely cause errors (it's in the listener so can't be caught by on_command_error anyway)

[potent spear]

now we're talking

[vale wing]

aiosqlite.connect() bro

Why'd you call a module

[warped mirage]

wait

[sick birch]

Worth putting in that you should have one global aiosqlite.connect()

[potent spear]

preferably a botvar

[slate swan]

async with aiosqlite("wm.db")

[vale wing]

Wrapped into bot subclass

[dim wing]

is possible to add a timer in a cog?

[potent spear]

that does what exactly?

[vale wing]

What kind of a timer

[slate swan]

depends on what you mean by timer

[vale wing]

3 persons helping you gg

[dim wing]

umh

[warped mirage]

Hmm it updates the message it might work

We shall see

[dim wing]

just a cooldown/timer, and when we trigger a command it could reset it

but in a cog

and not in a command

[vale wing]

Yeah just decorate the command

[slate swan]

is it an on_message event?

[vale wing]

Well commands are in a cog I kinda don't get what you mean

[dim wing]

no it's just a timer lol

mmh i don't know how to explain

[vale wing]

Show your code

[dim wing]

i will explain you my project

i don't have code yet

[slate swan]

if you could show an example of what you want to do, we can help you

[vale wing]

Sure go ahead

[warped mirage]

File "C:\Users\Dom\Desktop\beta test\cogs\welcomesystem.py", line 21, in on_member_join
channel_id = await cursor.fetchone
TypeError: object method can't be used in 'await' expression

@potent spear

[vale wing]

Do you even call the method

I see no brackets

[warped mirage]

wait

[dim wing]

I want to use paramiko (python library) to connect to my raspberry pi, via a discord bot. And i have to etablish a SSH connection with paramiko. But i want only one user to be able to control my raspberry pi. So i want to etablish a cooldown/timer, so if nobody use a command that uses paramiko, then it stop the connection. But if someone use a command, it reset the timer and the SSH connection continue

[vale wing]

When you get an error just try to understand the error itself and if you didn't, look at the line of traceback that is written by you and find what's wrong

[vale wing]

Nice idea of sshing with discord bot lol

[warped mirage]

final = self.client.get_channel()
TypeError: Client.get_channel() missing 1 required positional argument: 'id'

next error

[potent spear]

error says it all

[warped mirage]

it id

[dim wing]

?

[warped mirage]

btw this system is meant to be multi guild

[vale wing]

If timer won't be long-term you could use a dictionary with user IDs as keys and datetime objects as values

[warped mirage]

so what do i do

[dim wing]

oh so i could just change the datetime

nice idea

thx

[warped mirage]

@potent spear

[dim wing]

but do you think my little project is possible?

[vale wing]

If this is what you wanted yw

[potent spear]

then you should do it by name, not id

[vale wing]

Yeah that's an interesting idea just make sure to secure your SSH and isolate the environment if it's gonna get used by other people

[warped mirage]

so channel_name?

[dim wing]

yeah don't worry it wont be public ahah

[wet crystal]

and all categorys?

[vale wing]

!d discord.Guild.categories 😉

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.categories

property categories```
A list of categories that belongs to this guild.

This is sorted by the position and are in UI order from top to bottom.

[warped mirage]

bruh

what do i change

[vale wing]

Make sure not to copypaste the thing

But to understand the OOP principle

[wet crystal]

I dont have time rn to learn OOP its hurting my brain

come on, isnt there a workaround

[vale wing]

You have a discord.Guild object and that's your ctx.guild and that object has categories attribute

[vale wing]

There's spoonfeeding and it's a thing I prefer to avoid

[wet crystal]

How does that work?

basically the way you just told me and I really do like it indeed

[vale wing]

Allegory bro

[wet crystal]

I wish I was smart enough to know what Allegory is

[warped mirage]

@potent spear bro i did say my code is incorrect , the first 2 commands and last 2 almost look the same and have the same function i think , can u check my code?

[vale wing]

Literature term

Sry I am confusing you

[warped mirage]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/zoludutake someone help me and check my code with the 4 commands

when i did del_msg it removed my system

[vale wing]

@wet crystal did you figure this out

[wet crystal]

you are, but thats alright there is way more and bigger stuff confusing me here so thats just a small part

[wet crystal]

yes

thats why I said thanks

[vale wing]

Nice

[wet crystal]

you're a good teller fr

[vale wing]

Thx

[flint isle]

hmm i cant get my error handler to grab the users name

how would i do that?

[warped mirage]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/zoludutake someone please

[vale wing]

ctx.author.name doesn't work?

[flint isle]

Omg i had the wrong thing XD

[potent spear]

you still need to ask better questions

just saying "something doesn't work" isn't helping us

we want to know what you did, what you expected to happen, and what actually happened

[vale wing]

Lol ok

[warped mirage]

I CODED 2 commands , wm_set sets welcome channel and wm_del removes the channel then i coded another 2 commands set_msg (SETS THE WELCOME MESSAGE) del_msg ( DELETES THE WELCOME MESSAGE ) when i do set_msg it says its already set , when i do del_msg it turns of the system

thats the best detail i can say

[potent spear]

you only explained the first

[warped mirage]

i said what i did , what its meant to do

WM_SET(set the channel) wm_del (remove the channel) set_msg(set welcome message) del_msg (delete the welcome message)

there u go

[potent spear]

I don't care about those command names

just start with 1 command at a time

tell me 1 command first

[warped mirage]

bruh

[potent spear]

I just don't have the time to look at it all at once

[warped mirage]

how about u put my code into ur and test it

u will understand perfectly

[regal pulsar]

if data is None:
    return
else:
    if data is not None:
        await cursor.execute("SELECT channel_id FROM wm WHERE guild_id = ?", (member.guild.id,))
        channel_id = await cursor.fetchone()

that logic lmao

[warped mirage]

which command is this

[vale wing]

Very sus double condition and no error message on data fetching fail 😩

[regal pulsar]

lmao

[slate swan]

imagine not making helper functions

How can I make a function, when I verify with this way, the bot to add me a role?

[potent spear]

on_member_update

this event will be called when the user is verified (the member.pending will be True after verification )

[slate swan]

there was a property named pending or is_pending iirc, hm

[slate swan]

So before verify, will be False

[potent spear]

big brain

[slate swan]

I know 🙂

[hollow zealot]

#bot-commands

[flint isle]

umm i accadentally switched branches in git and my changes are gone is there a way to recover them? i lost 1 hr of coding my bot

[slate swan]

what ide is that

I want to make circle image manipulation of member with pillow, but i want the pic to be circular , is there any way to do this?

will some one help me make a bot ?

import discord
from http import client
import random

TOKEN = 'bot discord token here'

client = discord.Client()


@client.event
async def on_ready():
    print('We have logged in as {0.user}'.format(client))

    client.run(TOKEN)

i started but not working

[flint isle]

pycharm community

[slate swan]

didnt you save your code before switching the branch>

[slate swan]

client.run should be outside on_ready

[flint isle]

it saves automatically...

i didnt mean to switch branches

[slate swan]

wdym

so now when you go back to your normal branch it isnt at the state you left?

[sick birch]

Unindent your last line, the client.run(...). Also don't use format, use f strings

It looks like you're following a youtube tutorial, so before you go down that rabbit hole, just don't

[slate swan]

client.run is inside on_ready function, but it should be on global level

[slate swan]

dont do that ?

[sick birch]

Also remove from http import client due to namespace conflict

[sick birch]

Yes, don't follow youtube tutorials

I only point that out because your code looks suspiciously familiar

[slate swan]

oke im beginner in python i started some weeks ago

[sick birch]

In that case, maybe you should get a better grasp of Python first?

That's only going to help you understand concepts easier

[slate swan]

im watching much videos

[sick birch]

Yeah those are usually subpar and not really that good

[slate swan]

but can u accept my friend request i want ask u something ?

[sick birch]

!resources these are some good resources to get 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.

[sick birch]

Ask here, my DMs are closed

[slate swan]

i dont like its like 🤮 for me

idk how to say it

cuz its some people that will laugh

[green bluff]

No?

[sick birch]

Nobody's laughing, it's all fair questions here

[heavy shard]

certainly not

[slate swan]

oh ok cuz in polish community everyone doing this

[green bluff]

This isn’t the polish community?

[sick birch]

Doing what?

[slate swan]

laugh

[sick birch]

Go ahead and ask, we're more than willing to help and we don't judge

[still mountain]

How can I learn discord.py the best?

[sick birch]

There are no stupid questions, as it were

[green bluff]

Documentation and python basics really help

[flint isle]

no

[sick birch]

If you ask me, learning python is the best way to learn discord.py, because once you understand Python pretty well, you start connecting the dots and seeing how exactly discord.py works, which makes it much easier for you to work with it

Knowing the concepts of how something works is probably the best way to work with it

[slate swan]

oke but when im watching videos and trying to do something how i can remember the code i learned ?

[green bluff]

Practice.

[flint isle]

@slate swan if i send you a zip of the directory including the .git could you see if the files are still there?

[sick birch]

If you're watching videos, it's inherently not going to your brain. For some people it does, for some it doesn't. Maybe you're the kind of person for who it doesn't

[slate swan]

like making projects ?

[sick birch]

In which case, you should probably start looking for other resources

We call this "tutorial hell"

[slate swan]

then how i can do it ?

[sick birch]

You don't learn and retain anything by just watching someone else code something, then copying it down

[green bluff]

^^ yeah understanding the code is much better

[sick birch]

Same way you don't get better at, say, football just by watching professional athletes play it on TV

[slate swan]

then some camps or website for pratice ?

[sick birch]

!resources books are a very good learning medium

[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.

[sick birch]

I find that things actually go to my head with books & hands on practice

[slate swan]

im polish the most big problem for me

[sick birch]

Your nationality doesn't matter when you're learning

[green bluff]

W3schools and codecademy have pretty beginner friendly tuts

[sick birch]

I would recommend against W3schools

[slate swan]

i can english but if i read in english i get nothing in head

[sick birch]

Whatever you do, don't go there

[flint isle]

or could anyone do this for me

[green bluff]

Oh?

[sick birch]

Ah, language barrier, that's always difficult

I'm not 100% sure but the resources link I sent you earlier, there are tens of resources and one of them may support polish as the language

[slate swan]

some how i learned html and css

[sick birch]

Yeah, most people do early on

[green bluff]

Why?

Just better to know

[sick birch]

The main reason would just be blatant misinformation

[green bluff]

Ah

[sick birch]

Other reasons include lacking syntax/documentation, subpar examples, pretty bad explanations, list goes on

Not to mention they did SEO like hell

[slate swan]

w3schools can be in polish too ?

[sick birch]

Don't know, but again don't use it

[flint isle]

i completely lost my errorhandler file when i caccadentally changed branches

[slate swan]

oh ok

[slate swan]

what do you recommend for learning python
websites ect ?

[sick birch]

!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.

[slate swan]

only this ?

[sick birch]

There are a bunch if you click on that link

[slate swan]

ik

how long u take to learn python ik its difference but asking

[flint isle]

😢 why did I accadentally change branch

[sick birch]

I don't know, honestly, one can never really learn a language

Every day you learn something new

[slate swan]

        img = Image.open("welcome.png")
        asset = member.avatar_url_as(size=128)
        data = BytesIO(await asset.read())
        pfp = Image.open(data)
        pfp = pfp.resize((177,177))
        img.paste(pfp, (120, 122))
        img.save("welcome2.png")
        await channel.send(file=discord.File("welcome2.png"))``` How can I make this image circular?

[sick birch]

#media-processing

[slate swan]

Sorry

[sick birch]

Not a problem

[slate swan]

how i can make the tutorials to polish ?

[sick birch]

Not all of them support polish, you'll have to look around a bit to see if they do support it

[slate swan]

but like click on a book and see if it support polish ?

[sick birch]

Maybe. Some books do print in multiple languages

[slate swan]

i see nothing

is this good xd

[sick birch]

I remember doing that for a club 6th or 7th grade year, I thought it was pretty stupid

[slate swan]

so its bad ?

[sick birch]

Maybe. My opinion was that it's bad

[slate swan]

i didnt whant this

a game

this ??

[sick birch]

Looks useful, though I'm not the right person to ask since I've never used these resources

I'm a more hands on person like I mentioned, and I learn by doing rather than reading or watching

[slate swan]

then what u use ?

[sick birch]

None, I try my best to make projects and learn from them

[slate swan]

wdym

[sick birch]

different people learn differently ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[slate swan]

but i dont know how it will be best for me to learn python

like i want to learn it but if i ask people they tell me differently

[sick birch]

You need to figure that out yourself, since only you know yourself

[slate swan]

tips ? pls

[sick birch]

Not really, what sort of tips are you looking for?

[slate swan]

learning python

[sick birch]

Well, only one I can really give you is that your mindset is probably the most important thing when it comes to learning

[slate swan]

yyy

like

[green bluff]

You can try using an extension

Which converts all english to polish

[slate swan]

wdym

[green bluff]

A chrome extension which converts english to polish

[slate swan]

name

[green bluff]

Don’t have one off the top of my head

[slate swan]

im starting getting no ide now how i will learn python

😭

Learning "enough" Python isn't super difficult, it just takes some patience and willingness. You can start by learning the basic concepts first (variables, built-in data types, syntax, functions, etc) and attempt different stuff as you progress. What worked for me (this might not work for you) is read a lot of source code; I started out by trying to make discord bots, and it was very unintuitive for me as I knew very little Python. So I read the library's source code and googled stuff up as I went along. Programming languages are literally meant to be human readable, just take time and go slowly and thoughtfully.

[sick birch]

Pretty sure google translate can translate entire sites for you

[slate swan]

?

Lol read the website

It says up there "Read the basics"

Look through those links

learn

Don't worry, it is made as simple as possible for people to understand

[slate swan]

what

[heady sluice]

it's actually less than you'd think

[slate swan]

I don't actually understand what you're trying to learn tho

Like all of Python or something?

Because you only really need to know what you're using

If that makes sense

timtoy

wheres your cat pfp😾

[slate swan]

tools multitool mby som checker ect

its more

something for discord with python

only i know discord,tools,multitool

[lyric apex]

    @commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_message(self, message):
        db = sqlite3.connect('afk.db')
        cursor =  db.cursor()
        cursor.execute(f"SELECT user FROM afk WHERE user = {message.author.id}")
        result = cursor.fetchone()
        if result is not None:
            cursor.execute(f"DELETE FROM afk WHERE user = {message.author.id}")
            await message.channel.send(f"Welcome Back **{message.author}**, I removed your AFK. You were afk")
            db.commit() ```

This instantly removes my data how to fix it

[stone beacon]

!with

[unkempt canyon]

The with keyword triggers a context manager. Context managers automatically set up and take down data connections, or any other kind of object that implements the magic methods __enter__ and __exit__.

with open("test.txt", "r") as file:
    do_things(file)

The above code automatically closes file when the with block exits, so you never have to manually do a file.close(). Most connection types, including file readers and database connections, support this.

For more information, read the official docs, watch Corey Schafer's context manager video, or see PEP 343.

[wet crystal]

why does ctx.guild.members only show me 1 member and thats the bot himslelf?

[slate swan]

!intents

[unkempt canyon]

Using intents in discord.py

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

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

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

from discord import Intents
from discord.ext import commands

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

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

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

[wet crystal]

I have had this on since the beginning

yeah i forgot the intents=intents in the commands.bot

thanks

[rocky hornet]

do i need to create another app in dev portal if i want a test version of my bot?

[loud junco]

i like the way u censor stuff

[lyric apex]

[loud junco]

:D

[rocky hornet]

i remember always using with_static_format("png") because of apple not supporting webp

is this still a thing?

[slate swan]

yes, Asset object has that method

!d discord.Asset.with_static_format

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Asset.with\_static\_format

with_static_format(format, /)```
Returns a new asset with the specified static format.

This only changes the format if the underlying asset is not animated. Otherwise, the asset is not changed.

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

[slate swan]

yep

[rocky hornet]

no i mean the issue itself

do i still have to do it?

i even made this ugly shortcut

disnake.Asset.compat = property(
    lambda self: self.with_static_format("png")
)

[loud junco]

jesus christ i forgot this 💀

its ; ?

[rocky hornet]

wrong language mate

[loud junco]

LOL

for i=1 to 3?

[rocky hornet]

for i in range(1, 4):

[loud junco]

alright

thanks mate

[rocky hornet]

that is if you actually use i

if u just want to iterate 3 times use for _ in range(3):

[loud junco]

alright thanks

[rocky hornet]

can my bot access these assets from dev portal?

[wet crystal]

How can I send a message to the channel if someone tried to invoke a command but didn't enter necessary arguments?

[potent spear]

fixed already? or do you still want the answer?

if not
https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/commands.html#error-handling

mind you: always add an else statement in error handlers

if not: the error will raise (silently without output) and you won't even notice, since you never handled it

[wet crystal]

still needed

thanks

[potent spear]

👍

[wet crystal]

also, I finally understood the instances etc from OOP

[potent spear]

Great! So I don’t want to see any discord.Guild.categories etc anymore in your code

[wet crystal]

yep haha, I just found out about the utils

[wet crystal]

What are bad arguments?
Is it a Bad Argument when only when its empty or is it also one if It is nonsense

[potent spear]

You can read up on that in the docs

[lyric apex]

For empty there exists one more error

MissingArguement

[wet crystal]

thanks

is it possible to make a dismiss button like Clyde has when dm'ing a blocked person or someone who doesn't accept dm's

[torn sail]

You only can when sending a message from an interaction and making it ephemeral

[flint isle]

is there a list of possible bot errors for disnake

[stone beacon]

Well the docs are supposed to tell you of possible exceptions for each function so

Bot errors are gonna depend on what the bot is doing

[flint isle]

well lol im trying to work on my error handler

[robust fulcrum]

Guys what's use of cogs.listener
Me not able to understand it from documentation

[torn sail]

To handle events within a cog

[robust fulcrum]

Like @client.event

Am i right?

[torn sail]

Yes but it would be within a cog

[robust fulcrum]

Ok thank u

Actually me usings cogs First time

[sick birch]

It's the cog equivalent of @bot.listen(). A listener is fundamentally different from an event because events override the internal code, and you can also only have one event listener for one event at a time, unlike listeners which can have *as many listeners as you want, all of which will get triggered for the event they are listening for *

[robust fulcrum]

Guys can anyone help me fix this error

[fading marlin]

it's await bot.add_cog(...) if you're using 2.0

[robust fulcrum]

Ok

[robust fulcrum]

def setup(bot):
	await bot.add_cog(invite(bot))

It's giving me error

[fading marlin]

if you're using await inside a function, the function should be async

[robust fulcrum]

Hmmm async def?

[fading marlin]

precisely

[robust fulcrum]

@fading marlin ```py
bot.get_channel

With what we have to replace bot in cogs

[fading marlin]

self.bot ??

[robust fulcrum]

self.bot.get_channel?

[fading marlin]

yes

[robust fulcrum]

See here once

[slate swan]

Used client.remove_command(“help”)
And then created my own help command
But it is unresponsive

Wait I’ll send code

[marsh mulch]

Add three of these: ` before and after the code

[slate swan]

@client.command()
async def Help(ctx):
  await ctx.send(embed=hE)
  button2 = Button(label = "Utility Commands", style = discord.ButtonStyle.blurple, emoji = ":utility:"),

    view = View()
    view.add_item(button2)
    await ctx.send(embed=hE, view=view)

No errors in terminal

[slate swan]

shouldnt use requests and you can just use the json method so you wont need to convert the payload to a string and then load it

[placid verge]

Guys i want to make a discord bot that it plays the songs that we uploaded to the bot before , and we can make playlists of those songs, is that possible ?

[regal pulsar]

yeah i know

just fixed his indentation

[slate swan]

any help?

[placid verge]

discord.ButtonStyle.blurple?

did you mean purple ?

[torn sail]

!d discord.ButtonStyle.blurple

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ButtonStyle.blurple

An alias for primary.

[torn sail]

It exists

[placid verge]

hm ok

[placid verge]

Any help ?

[marsh mulch]

Is it possible to edit already sent embeds?

[sick birch]

If you have the message object containing the embed, yes

[sick birch]

Did you do capital H help or lowercase h help?

[placid verge]

like when i say .play playlist-1 it plays the songs i uploaded in playlist one

[slate swan]

H

[sick birch]

Right, any error handlers?

Because the first line await ctx.send(embed=hE) should be throwing an error, unless you have a globally defined hE variable

[slate swan]

nope

[sick birch]

You're sure? No on_command_error or on_error anywhere at all?

[slate swan]

i have globally defined variable `hE

[sick birch]

ah okay

[slate swan]

yes

[sick birch]

and the embed won't send?

Try printing something:

@client.command()
async def Help(ctx):
  print("help")
  ...

[slate swan]

i had ctx.send(embed=hE at end
when i used it at top of command
the embed is sent but no buttons

[sick birch]

I also believe you're doing the whole button thing wrong

[slate swan]

hmm k

wait

[robust fulcrum]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/sepahiyipu
Guys i am getting indentation error but my indentation is correct
Pls once see code and help me if possible

[sick birch]

Your indentation is messed up quite a bit

For one it doesn't seem like they're 4 spaced

[robust fulcrum]

But on replit it's correct

Means looking

[sick birch]

If it was correct it wouldn't be giving you the error, would it?

[robust fulcrum]

Maybe replit error

[sick birch]

        @commands.command()
    async def quote(self, ctx):
        quote = get_quote()
        Embed = discord.Embed(title="Quote", description=quote,color=discord.Color.green())
        await ctx.send(embed=Embed)

Looks like that part isn't indented properly

The first 2 lines have to be on the same indent level

[robust fulcrum]

But i replit it's indented

[sick birch]

Again, if it was indented properly you wouldn't be getting the error

Can you send a screenshot of how it looks on replit?

[robust fulcrum]

Ok

[sick birch]

And where exactly is the error saying the problem is?

[robust fulcrum]

my buttons are in a class

hmm odd

class Help12(View):

[robust fulcrum]

Maybe i should edit code outside of replit and paste?

[sick birch]

Your handlers need to be un-indented

[sick birch]

Probably a good idea

[robust fulcrum]

Ok

Actually me using replit as me on Android

Otherwise windows have best ides

[sick birch]

Technically most are cross platform

Except maybe emacs which doesn't want to play nice with windows

class Help12(View):
  File "c:\Users\Jaisman's PC\Desktop\ACLib\bot.py", line 348, in Help12
    async def counter(interaction: Interaction, button: Button):
TypeError: 'Button' object is not callable

error ^

[sick birch]

1. They should be un-indented, under the class, not the constructor
2. it should be discord.ui.button, lowercase b

[slate swan]

and if its a class, shouldnt the first parameter be self?

[sick birch]

that too

[regal pulsar]

!d disnake.ButtonStyle

[unkempt canyon]

disnake.ButtonStyle

class disnake.ButtonStyle```
Represents the style of the button component.

New in version 2.0.

[robust fulcrum]

Done it worked

#bot-commands

[hidden snow]

hey after you learn all about python OOP do you have enough knowledge to code a discord bot?

[silk fulcrum]

Depends of what do you mean "learn all about python OOP"

Cus someone think that if they know that it is Object Oriented Programming and it's about objects they know everything

[hidden snow]

like you understand oop

can u code cool bot

[hollow zealot]

how do i make a sleep without the bot not responding to a message

[silk fulcrum]

Uhm, then yes I think, also you need to know how to readthedocs

[slate swan]

no, asynchronous programming, scopes, types, conversion, inbuilt methods and functions are must to know

[hollow zealot]

if I use the sleep and someone else ran a command. the bot won't respond until the sleep is finish

[silk fulcrum]

await asyncio.sleep(time)

[slate swan]

use asyncio's sleep not time

[silk fulcrum]

import asyncio also

[hidden snow]

where could one go to learn that? or is that on the website?

[hollow zealot]

thks

[hollow zealot]

thks

do i need to import things. just like i did in sleep?

[silk fulcrum]

yes

asyncio

[hollow zealot]

ok thks

[slate swan]

import asyncio #inbuilt

await asyncio.sleep(seconds)```

[silk fulcrum]

await?

[slate swan]

await*

[silk fulcrum]

xD

[hollow zealot]

thks

me searching what is better to store prefixes: json or database

[maiden fable]

JSON according to me but people prefer db

Ngl the only reason I love JSON is cz it's easy to edit and highly readable

[silk fulcrum]

MEE6: json

[vocal snow]

Depends on if you already have a db set up and how many prefixes you're planning to store

[slate swan]

use a json-based database...

[silk fulcrum]

Yes DB is set up, about 300 prefixes, but if thre will be more than 100 servers idk

[silk fulcrum]

waht?

[slate swan]

json-based database such as mongodb

[silk fulcrum]

oh

[slate swan]

or pocket or deta

[silk fulcrum]

Nah i prefer MySQL

[vocal snow]

if you already have one set up then I don't see why you would have a JSON seperately for prefixes

[silk fulcrum]

Also it'll be easy to use it in dashboard

[silk fulcrum]

me2, but i saw people that did this because "why not"

[slate swan]

Yeah

[regal pulsar]

await asyncio.sleep(1)

[regal pulsar]

facts

lots of limitations tho

[hollow zealot]

@regal pulsar its u........

[regal pulsar]

hmm?

[hollow zealot]

ur the one who join my server and left

[regal pulsar]

i just saw it in your status

got curious

then left

[hollow zealot]

ok ig 🤷‍♂️

[maiden fable]

What I prefer to do- Store the json content in memory on startup, then close the file (or use a context manager). Then, make a task to save the updated data (from memory) to the JSON every x minutes. This way, u won't really encounter any data corruption issues acc to me

[slate swan]

How can I replace spaces with a percent symbol?

[regal pulsar]

that could work
