[karmic marsh]

probably

[frozen patio]

How can I fix this?

[karmic marsh]

is there an easy way to do that other than manually?

probably using a foreach?

got it

for item in view.children:
  if item._provided_custom_id != "specificitem":
    view.remove_item(item)

is there a better way to write this?

actually, this doesn't quite work lol

it leaves one element, but not the right one

[slate swan]

!d discord.ui.Button.custom_id

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ui.Button.custom\_id

property custom_id```
The ID of the button that gets received during an interaction.

If this button is for a URL, it does not have a custom ID.

[slate swan]

why not use this?

[karmic marsh]

Uhhh

Idk. I thought that is what I was using lol

well, if I change it to custom_id it behaves even stranger

it now gets the correct item but also leaves one

so there are two items

how strange

for item in view.children:
``` skips the second element for some bizarre reason

[brave flint]

do someone know what this error mean?

raise HTTPException(response, data)
discord.errors.HTTPException: 400 Bad Request (error code: 50035): Invalid Form Body
In embeds.0.url: Not a well formed URL.```

[sick birch]

Can I see the URL?

[brave flint]

uh no...

i cant get the url value btw

[sick birch]

Okay well it's difficult to figure out what the issue is without the url

[brave flint]

it is an automatic

mhmm, wait lemme get it a sec

ah ye i cant

well so its a provided url error?

[sick birch]

Why can't you just print it?

If it's automated it should be going through your code regardless

[brave flint]

building the code took aprox 5min

thats why

but maybe ill just download the image then use it mybe

[sick birch]

I'm not seeing how that has to do with printing out a variable

[brave flint]

wait lemme do it then

[sick birch]

Probably a better question for #965291480992321536

[heavy folio]

oop

[sick birch]

no prob

[karmic marsh]

Is there any way to take the UI elements and abstract them out so that I can build a UI from whichever elements I want?

basically this whole chunk:

@disnake.ui.button(label="Cancel", style=disnake.ButtonStyle.grey)
    async def cancel(self, button, inter):
        button.disabled = True
        self.value = False
        self.stop()

I think it would have to be of type Item afaik

[brave flint]

can i send it to ur dm?, it is kinda nsfw

[scarlet aurora]

Can someone help? ```py
if company == '1st':

        except_cr = []
        for rank_role_id in rank_ids.values():
            if rank_role_id != (rank_ids["Catulan_Reaver"]):
                rank_role = ctx.guild.get_role(rank_role_id)
                except_cr.append(rank_role)

        except_1 = []
        for rank_role_id in company_ids.values():
            if rank_role_id != (company_ids["1st Company"]):
                company_role = ctx.guild.get_role(rank_role_id)
                except_1.append(company_role)

        await user.remove_roles(*except_1)
        await user.remove_roles(*except_cr)
        await user.add_roles(ctx.guild.get_role(company_ids["1st Company"]))
        await user.add_roles(ctx.guild.get_role(rank_ids["Catulan_Reaver"]))``` These commands execute very very slowly, how can I speed up the process?

[sick birch]

I don't do DM help sorry, just remove out the parts that are nsfw. the actual url isn't important, just the form

[scarlet aurora]

@sick birch do you know why it's so slow?

[sick birch]

If I'm to guess something about removing those roles

[scarlet aurora]

how can I speed it up?

[sick birch]

perhaps figure out if there's a better way than to remove all those roles?

[brave flint]

https://i.redd.it/8cdbmaafdX491.jpg

[sick birch]

Hmm that looks fine

Can I see the code where you construct the embed?

[brave flint]

ye

[sick birch]

I'm assuming you did print(a["fileurl"])?

[brave flint]

yes

[slate swan]

how can I use global cogs in my main file, and call them in my cog file

[sick birch]

🤔 maybe it's a reddit issue then

since the URL form looks right

[brave flint]

idk, i tried send the url on my server

and it shown the image

all of the url printed i tried to send

on discord chat all of it shown too

i think yes i need to download it first

[sick birch]

Could be, not sure though that's strange

[brave flint]

yea, i mean it is

my db like had 4k id registered "done" but like onlky 120 shown

[karmic marsh]

Anybody know?

I have to imagine it's possible

[brave flint]

im sorry, but idk

[karmic marsh]

And probably quite simple, I just don't know how

[sick birch]

I'm not fully understanding the question, you can build a UI from whichever elements you want normally?

[scarlet aurora]

how would I do this?

[sick birch]

That's up to you, as that's a design decision

[brave flint]

bruh @sick birch

whats wrong with it lol

is it discord api error or what

[gleaming pendant]

import discord
from discord.ext import commands
from discord import member
from discord.ext.commands import has_permissions, MissingPermissions
import os
from discord_slash import SlashCommand

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='z!')
bot.remove_command('help')
slash = SlashCommand(bot, sync_command=True)

@slash.slash()
async def ping(ctx):
    await ctx.reply(f'Speed - {round(bot.latency * 10000)}ms')```

i already downloaded discord-py-slash-command

but i get this

discord-py 1.7.3 requires aiohttp<3.8.0,>=3.6.0, but you have aiohttp 3.8.1 which is incompatible.```

[sick birch]

I don't mean to sound brash but this is an excellent opportunity to dump discord-py-slash-command

[gleaming pendant]

wdym by dump

[slate swan]

stop using it

[gleaming pendant]

wdym

[slate swan]

the library is unmaintained, outdated and bad

[gleaming pendant]

then, how can create slash commands

?

[slate swan]

use discord.py's master branch, or a fork

or the continued instance of this library which is called interactions.py

[gleaming pendant]

whathow

[slate swan]

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

[gleaming pendant]

ok

https://gyazo.com/3272f8a609e7142183f7e29a6c1bc9e0 what

do pip show discord.py in terminal

[gleaming pendant]

[slate swan]

you didn't run this command did you?

[gleaming pendant]

i tried to

https://gyazo.com/9c3da7f9b0bfce154495684fd906114d

[slate swan]

install git

[gleaming pendant]

how

where

[slate swan]

on ur pc

[gleaming pendant]

haha

[slate swan]

https://git-scm.com/downloads

From here u can install git

[karmic marsh]

I'd like to be able to do it by just adding them from a list

[gleaming pendant]

@slate swan https://gyazo.com/3f9bb1a55123331935227b74ded0336b

just used the pip install -U git+https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py thing

[slate swan]

you didn't invite the bot with application commands scope

[karmic marsh]

this is the code I have now:

class UI(disnake.ui.View):
    def __init__(self,):
        super().__init__()
        self.value = None

    @disnake.ui.button(label="Confirm", style=disnake.ButtonStyle.green)
    async def confirm(self, button, interaction):
        self.value = True
        self.stop()

    @disnake.ui.button(label="Cancel", style=disnake.ButtonStyle.grey)
    async def cancel(self, button, inter):
        button.disabled = True
        self.value = False
        self.stop()

and I'd like to abstract it out to something like this:

ConfirmButton = @disnake.ui.button(label="Confirm", style=disnake.ButtonStyle.green)
    async def confirm(self, button, interaction):
        self.value = True
        self.stop()

CancelButton = @disnake.ui.button(label="Cancel", style=disnake.ButtonStyle.grey)
    async def cancel(self, button, inter):
        button.disabled = True
        self.value = False
        self.stop()

class UI(disnake.ui.View):
    def __init__(self,):
        super().__init__()
        self.value = None

    @ConfirmButton

    @CancelButton

this is sort of what I mean:
https://stackoverflow.com/a/69525876/18604531
except I want the click action and other features gained by subclassing it

actually wait

this might be way less complicated than I'm making it

[gleaming pendant]

https://gyazo.com/7bd51124e11a494d3995b4f96d0c1cfa how can I make the command only work with /help?

cuz if i want it to work i need to use /help something

import discord
from discord import app_commands
from discord.ext import commands
from discord import member
from discord.ext.commands import has_permissions, MissingPermissions

class aclient(discord.Client):
    def __init__(self):

[karmic marsh]

async def self(interaction: discord.Interaction, name: str):

should be:

async def self(interaction: discord.Interaction):

you're telling it that it needs a string called name

[gleaming pendant]

thx

[sick panther]

Either remove the part with the name: str as Carson did tell you above me, or simply define it as None, then it's an optional argument:

async def self(interaction: discord.Interaction, name: str = None):

Especially helpful when you wanna have separated help given for every command

[karmic marsh]

alright, I've gotten this working somewhat as intended

CancelButton = disnake.ui.button(custom_id = "cancelitem", label="Cancel", style=disnake.ButtonStyle.grey)

ConfirmButton = disnake.ui.button(custom_id = "confirmitem", label="Confirm", style=disnake.ButtonStyle.green)

class UI(disnake.ui.View):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        self.value = None

    @CancelButton
    async def cancel(self, input, inter):
        self.value = 0
        self.stop()

    @ConfirmButton
    async def confirm(self, input, inter):
        self.value = 1
        self.stop()

the buttons themselves are defined outside of the View

but their actions are still defined locally

how can I move the actions outside of the UI class?

[karmic marsh]

okay... this is bizarre

import disnake
from disnake.ext import commands

CancelButton = disnake.ui.button(custom_id = "cancelitem", label="Cancel", style=disnake.ButtonStyle.grey)
async def cancel(self, input, inter):
        self.value = 0
        self.stop()


ConfirmButton = disnake.ui.button(custom_id = "confirmitem", label="Confirm", style=disnake.ButtonStyle.green)
async def confirm(self, input, inter):
        self.value = 1
        self.stop()

class UI(disnake.ui.View):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        self.value = None

    @CancelButton
    @cancel

    @ConfirmButton
    @confirm

class Ask(commands.Cog):
#... etc

this does not work. the class keyword in the last line errors with:

Expected function or class declaration after decorator
however, if I simply replace @confirm with

async def confirm(self, input, inter):
        self.value = 1
        self.stop()

it works just fine

it doesn't have to do with the specific function definitions, just whichever one is last errors out if it's using the @ syntax

uhh

at least I thought it worked

it doesn't now lmao

[visual island]

You probably want to use View.add_item() in your view's __init__

[lyric apex]

How to create page?

Like if someone click > so page + 1?

[dim sentinel]

You are being blocked from accessing our API temporarily due to exceeding our rate limits frequently. Please read our docs at https://discord.com/developers/docs/topics/rate-limits to prevent this moving forward.

uhhh so

i am running the bot on replit

[karmic marsh]

well then there's your problem

[dim sentinel]

sooo bot hosting on replit is the cause?

[karmic marsh]

pins in bot-hosting thread

#965291480992321536 message

[sick panther]

Well, you can just ditch replit and do this lol

try:
    bot.run("token") 
except:
    os.system("kill 1")
    bot.run("token") 

[dim sentinel]

where am i supposed to type this

also how am i supposed to make my bot get unbanned 💀

[lyric apex]

Where you logging the bot

[lyric apex]

Lol its host issue nothing else

[sick panther]

It's not banned from Discord, but getting ratelimited. There's a HUGE difference

[dim sentinel]

i tried to run it on vsc

doesnt work anymore

[sick panther]

Well, youre ratelimited ofc it wont

[dim sentinel]

so it should work after a while?

[sick panther]

yup

[dim sentinel]

thanks

[tough lance]

Ofc

[slate swan]

tbh just don't use replit, there are many cons

[sick panther]

But I suggested you to ditch replit, as theyre using shared IPs

[dim sentinel]

also like i should type this in vsc only?

[sick panther]

what no

[dim sentinel]

replit?

[sick panther]

ye

[lyric apex]

When this happened with me i tried it hosting somewhere else that worked for me don't know why it didn't worked for u

[slate swan]

NEVER do this in vsc, especially if you use linux

[dim sentinel]

windows moment

[slate swan]

still, don't do this

[dim sentinel]

oh does your bot work well now?

[lyric apex]

Yeah

[dim sentinel]

roger

[lyric apex]

It should

[dim sentinel]

where do you host it now, if ye don't mindddd telling me

[sick panther]

vps>

[dim sentinel]

is it free?

[lyric apex]

Sarth Multiple events in client wait for ?

[lyric apex]

Nah

[dim sentinel]

sad

[slate swan]

kill is basically a command used to end process, for replit the 1st process is the repl itself so its fine to use this there, but in a general system it can be anything

[slate swan]

you can wait_for only a single event at a time, it you want to wait for more than one event to get dispatched used listeners

[dim sentinel]

so instead of client.run am i supposed to copy paste there?

[slate swan]

yeah, thats it.

[dim sentinel]

thanks

[slate swan]

still not suggested to use replit for hosting :)

[maiden fable]

PoV: It's the kernel

[dim sentinel]

sad

so when's my bot gonna run again 💀

[slate swan]

its actually the init, also known as systemd

[lyric apex]

Wait 2-3 hours maybe

[dim sentinel]

🥲

[slate swan]

type kill 1 in shell, and rerun

[dim sentinel]

still the same error

[slate swan]

oop, so you're blocked by the api, wait is the only option for you :/

[dim sentinel]

so 2-3 hours?

🥲

[slate swan]

maybe, there's no specific time limit

if you're just testing code do it on some other bot lol

[maiden fable]

I don't think u can manually stop that service, can u?

Since that service is what runs other services iirc

[slate swan]

you can, it will shutdown your computer

[maiden fable]

Thought so

[slate swan]

ded chat

hi

[paper sluice]

hi

[maiden fable]

hi

[slate swan]

i have remove command

async def remove(self,ctx:commands.Context,name):
 pass

i want like check if name is a channel or a role in mention like #discord-bots or @role

like we do : name : disnake.channel

something like that

you can use typing.Union

[maiden fable]

or make a custom converter

[slate swan]

typing.Union[discord.Channel, discord.Role], raises an error if its None of them

okay

what hunter said is more extendable tho

basically a class with an async convert function

[maiden fable]

yes

[slate swan]

can u give a small example i cant understand

ofcourse

https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/examples/converters.py

thanks 👍

on_member_update takes 2 arguments which are before and after which are literal to Member objects

[formal basin]

Ok

[formal basin]

New error what do I put instead of member

[slate swan]

nothing.

[slate swan]

its a member object

use like member.name etc

youre trying to access an attribute, which the Member class doesnt have.

[formal basin]

Oh ok

[formal basin]

Same error

User?

Could I do user?

[slate swan]

check the documentation, e.g all the attributes the Member class has/contains.

!d discord.Member

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member

class discord.Member```
Represents a Discord member to a [`Guild`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Guild "discord.Guild").

This implements a lot of the functionality of [`User`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.User "discord.User").

x == y Checks if two members are equal. Note that this works with [`User`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.User "discord.User") instances too.

x != y Checks if two members are not equal. Note that this works with [`User`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.User "discord.User") instances too.

hash(x) Returns the member’s hash.

str(x) Returns the member’s name with the discriminator.

[marble rampart]

someone know if i can run two bots at the same time ?

like from the same python file that i will run

[vale wing]

Use asyncio.gather on start methods of your bot instances

I think that should work

Except you might have loops conflicts

In that case use threads

[slate swan]

i created a music bot and it's not playing music

it says ffmpeg was not found.

should i download the ffmpeg as an app on my pc

and if i do how do i extract it's files

and where do i extract it

hi

[honest shoal]

it should be there on system path

[slate swan]

um i need to know that if someone pinged my bot so how do i reply the info the bot

[honest shoal]

can we edit ephermal messages?

[honest shoal]

on_message

[slate swan]

i tried

pls tell me the exact code

[honest shoal]

if message.content == ""

[stark fable]

hi guys, what's the endpoint to get the list of all the servers that i'm in ? (not the bot's server, the account that's in the servers)

i use ctx

lemme try message

!d discord.on_message

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_message

discord.on_message(message)```
Called when a [`Message`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Message "discord.Message") is created and sent.

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

Warning

Your bot’s own messages and private messages are sent through this event. This can lead cases of ‘recursion’ depending on how your bot was programmed. If you want the bot to not reply to itself, consider checking the user IDs. Note that [`Bot`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot "discord.ext.commands.Bot") does not have this problem.

[honest shoal]

it was ironic

!d discord.ext.commands.Context , ctx is not a thing

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Context

class discord.ext.commands.Context(*, message, bot, view, args=..., kwargs=..., prefix=None, command=None, invoked_with=None, invoked_parents=..., invoked_subcommand=None, ...)```
Represents the context in which a command is being invoked under.

This class contains a lot of meta data to help you understand more about the invocation context. This class is not created manually and is instead passed around to commands as the first parameter.

This class implements the [`Messageable`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.abc.Messageable "discord.abc.Messageable") ABC.

[honest shoal]

can anyone answer my ques.

[slate swan]

idts, ephemeral messages can only be created by an interaction and the response are webhooks, which I don't think can be edited

[honest shoal]

webhooks can be edited

[slate swan]

so your ephemeral responses can be edited as well, except for they can't be changed to normal message

[spring flax]

If I want to make a bot where it for example has an interactive system where it can mass-edit channel permissions for roles or members what would be an ideal approach?

[honest shoal]

I actually want to edit ephermal message without any other interaction

[lyric apex]

How to use message to reference?

[honest shoal]

I tried it, and got an attribute error, console AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'edit'

[lyric apex]

Code*

[honest shoal]

was editing ephermal message, without any other interaction

[lyric apex]

There's Something Wrong In Your Code

[odd mango]

how do i fix this

    for i in embeds:
        if len(embeds) == 1:
            await ctx.send(embed=i)
        else:
            for j in embeds:
                menu.add_page(j)
            await menu.start()```

i mean it works fine but due to for loops messed up i get errors

[slate swan]

you tried to edit the interaction like you used edit messages didn't you?

[honest shoal]

yeah

[slate swan]

thats not gonna work

!d discord.InteractionResponse

discord.InteractionResponse

class discord.InteractionResponse```
Represents a Discord interaction response.

New in version 2.0.

[honest shoal]

but I don't want any other interaction at that place

[slate swan]

theres some method here, just check and use it

[odd mango]

anyone?

[lyric apex]

Which error is raised?

[honest shoal]

@slate swan I checked it, it is editing the original message which I was already doing, let me explain my process

❯ There's a message containing some information with button in a channel.
❯ I click on the button to refresh the information and bot replies with an ephermal message 🔃 Refreshing
❯ After the refresh is done and the original message is edited I want that ephermal message also to be edited to Refreshed. because there's very high chance I'll get same information in the main message

[slate swan]

use interaction.edit_original_message

[honest shoal]

already doing that

I want to edit another msg as well

How to get the msg id of excuted cmd not by using

msg = await ctx.send(...)
print(msg.id) ```
Is there any other method?

[slate swan]

why though

[lyric apex]

*~~ G.K~~ *

[slate swan]

uh?

[lyric apex]

Like i wanted to delete the command executed by that msg id but not using that i mentioned in that msg @slate swan

[spring flax]

there is a delete_after kwarg in send

[slate swan]

^

or use the delay kwarg in the delete method of the Message object

[lyric apex]

By fetching that message*

No way?

[maiden fable]

U wanna delete a msg after fetching it?

!d discord.Message.delete

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Message.delete

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

Deletes the message.

Your own messages could be deleted without any proper permissions. However to delete other people’s messages, you need the [`manage_messages`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Permissions.manage_messages "discord.Permissions.manage_messages") permission.

Changed in version 1.1: Added the new `delay` keyword-only parameter.

[maiden fable]

The delay kwarg

[lyric apex]

How to fetch that executed cmd replied msg

[maiden fable]

Wym

[lyric apex]

.

[maiden fable]

U need the message ID...

[lyric apex]

Yeah

[maiden fable]

And the text channel id

To fetch the msg

[lyric apex]

Yep

[maiden fable]

Sooooo?

[lyric apex]

How to do that

||Ashley||

[slate swan]

hm, could you give an example of which message you are referring to?

[green bluff]

can someone help me with my code? a kind of lib im trying to make (makes coding for me easier)

[slate swan]

||Golu ||

[maiden fable]

What u even doing

[green bluff]

?

im trying to make coding for me easier

[maiden fable]

Doesn't dpy already do that for u?

[green bluff]

even easier

[slate swan]

I'm already crying after seeing the naming conventions

[maiden fable]

And Python being a high level language also does that

[lyric apex]

That message that is replied by the bot

[maiden fable]

msg = await ctx.send bro

[lyric apex]

Oh god

[maiden fable]

Why tf will u want to do an API call if u easily have access to the msg

[lyric apex]

.

[lyric apex]

Some other way?

[slate swan]

await ctx.send(content=content, delete_after=secondsintorfloat)

why isnt this possible though if I may ask

[maiden fable]

Because he wants another way

[slate swan]

but why

[maiden fable]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[lyric apex]

I said The Reason is ||G.K||

[slate swan]

wth is G.K

[maiden fable]

There is NO other way

[maiden fable]

General Knowledge

[slate swan]

yes ```py
msg = await send(...)
await asyncio.sleep(time to delete after)
await bot.http.delete_message(msg.channel.id, msg.id)

ew

imagine msg.delete()

un-danny-ific

basically what the delete_after kwarg does

[lyric apex]

[maiden fable]

Stop overusing emojis now

[slate swan]

use their escaped names instead

[maiden fable]

Yup

Let everyone feel like they are in the discord bots dev channel and get the vibe

[slate swan]

nobody ever forbid to use emojis

[lyric apex]

What does to_reference does?

[slate swan]

wot object's method is that

related to replies/mentions iirc

[maiden fable]

Replies

[slate swan]

Imagine not using robo danny

[slate swan]

....?

[lyric apex]

Can we find msg id referenced to that bot command

[maiden fable]

Message reference is related to replies

[maiden fable]

Wym

[slate swan]

okay thanks smarty

!d discord.ext.commands.Command.error

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Command.error

@error```
A decorator that registers a coroutine as a local error handler.

A local error handler is an [`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") event limited to a single command. However, the [`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") is still invoked afterwards as the catch-all.

Changed in version 2.0: `coro` parameter is now positional-only.

[slate swan]

client.load_extension(f"cogs.{filename[:-3]}")

what is this error?

[maiden fable]

That's... not how it works

[lyric apex]

Then?

[slate swan]

you're using 2.0, and you now need to await client.load_extension

[slate swan]

How can I delete " deleted messages" after 5 seconds?

[slate swan]

get_badges is None

[magic pond]

it works for a person who has a badge but doesnot work if i dont hv any badge

[slate swan]

await ctx.send("content", delete_after=seconds)```
seconds should be an integer or a floating point number

[slate swan]

that's what I said, get_badges is None, in essence, poorly written code as it cannot handle responses for non-badge users (since None does not have a __len__ method to it)

[rocky hornet]

if guild has 1 million members

are they all cached?

[dull terrace]

can someone explain to me why one random function in my entire code would refuse to recognise a variable as global

unless i explicitly declare it as global

[rocky hornet]

global is shit

[dull terrace]

very helpful tooru

[rocky hornet]

i tried

[slate swan]

if you have member intents, yes

until your memory usage max's out and the not crashes

[dull terrace]

if you can tell me a better way than using globals to access database cursors and connections i'd like to hear it

[slate swan]

discord.py is really cache dependent

[rocky hornet]

bot.db = Connection(...)

[slate swan]

!botvar use botvars 🙂

[unkempt canyon]

Python allows you to set custom attributes to most objects, like your bot! By storing things as attributes of the bot object, you can access them anywhere you access your bot. In the discord.py library, these custom attributes are commonly known as "bot variables" and can be a lifesaver if your bot is divided into many different files. An example on how to use custom attributes on your bot is shown below:

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="!")
# Set an attribute on our bot
bot.test = "I am accessible everywhere!"

@bot.command()
async def get(ctx: commands.Context):
    """A command to get the current value of `test`."""
    # Send what the test attribute is currently set to
    await ctx.send(ctx.bot.test)

@bot.command()
async def setval(ctx: commands.Context, *, new_text: str):
    """A command to set a new value of `test`."""
    # Here we change the attribute to what was specified in new_text
    bot.test = new_text

This all applies to cogs as well! You can set attributes to self as you wish.

Be sure not to overwrite attributes discord.py uses, like cogs or users. Name your attributes carefully!

[dull terrace]

if you're only using one db isn't that a huge waste of resources to keep creating new connections every time?

[livid hinge]

class attributes ig

[rocky hornet]

why would u create more connections?

[slate swan]

how is that a new connection all the time?

[rocky hornet]

do you know python basics?

[paper sluice]

[livid hinge]

kinda

[dull terrace]

that sounds like a good idea

[rocky hornet]

btw even better way is ```py
async with Connection() as bot.db:
await bot.connect()

[slate swan]

thats the same thing tooru just said.

[paper sluice]

u create the connection once, make it a bot variable and use that

[dull terrace]

[slate swan]

class Foo:
   bar: str = "x"
``` is same as  ```py
Foo().bar = "x"

[rocky hornet]

nope

after the second one, Foo class still doesnt have bar, only that instance has it

[livid hinge]

like i usually put in __init__

self.cursor = connect(...).cursor()```

[rocky hornet]

shouldnt u create a new cursor for each query?

[livid hinge]

class prob fine too if you dont need instances

you dont have to

afaik

[dull terrace]

welp, i can say that i use the same cursor for every query and it works fine

[rocky hornet]

also i would suggest to utilize dependency inversion pattern

and pass db connection to bot's init

rather than creating it inside

how can i run an arg against a Union of Converters?

much like dpy param parsing

[rocky hornet]

from within a command

functionally

[slate swan]

ofcourse a class variable and attaching a class attr after defining its instance are different, but i was talking about the functionality that it would just be needed to done once.

[rocky hornet]

sure

in the end we create bot instance only once

[dull terrace]

also the global was messing up because i was using the same variable name for something later in the function for something else

[slate swan]

thats the reason for which you shouldn't be using globals

[granite parcel]

how to create pages

[paper sluice]

Cellulose fibers are extracted from a variety of sources and converted to pulp.
Pulp is combined with water and placed on a paper making machine where it is flattened, dried, and cut into sheets and rolls.

[rocky hornet]

page = Page()

[paper sluice]

what type of page and which lib do you use?

[fallen mica]

any possible way of making a music bot with spotify links?

[rocky hornet]

define possible

[fallen mica]

under 100 lines of code which doesn't require me to download 20 web pages

[rocky hornet]

no

[fallen mica]

damn, welp i tried

[granite parcel]

i want a page that changes on button click

[rocky hornet]

discord has no concept of pages

be more specific in discord's context

embed? codeblock?

[granite parcel]

page1 = ""

[rocky hornet]

what library

[rocky hornet]

well

[granite parcel]

like that so on

[rocky hornet]

if its a string, then Message.edit

[granite parcel]

yeah but i want if someone click on next then it change

[rocky hornet]

what lib

[paper sluice]

send the new so called "page" on button click ....

[granite parcel]

dpy 2.0

[rocky hornet]

WHAT LIB

ok

[slate swan]

basically a paginator

[granite parcel]

yep paginator

[rocky hornet]

i only know disnake examples

[granite parcel]

ahh

[slate swan]

discord has some inbuilt pagination class iirc

!d discord.ext.commands.Paginator

[paper sluice]

u can store the "pages" in a list and change the index on button click, or if u want something better use discord.menus.ListPageSource

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Paginator

class discord.ext.commands.Paginator(prefix='```', suffix='```', max_size=2000, linesep='\n')```
A class that aids in paginating code blocks for Discord messages.

len(x) Returns the total number of characters in the paginator.

[rocky hornet]

dont moan, other people can help too

[paper sluice]

rip embed code blocks

[granite parcel]

i think there are so many way to do that

[rocky hornet]

yeah the builtin one works with strings, what you want

although it doesnt use buttons afaik

[slate swan]

|| lightbulb got inbuilt paginators with button and reaction types||

[rocky hornet]

[granite parcel]

hikari?

[rocky hornet]

what about tanjun

give some love to the other command impl

[slate swan]

im unsure, but im quite sure they don't have it

[rocky hornet]

everyone uses lightbulb

[slate swan]

not true, im kinda interested in crescent now

[rocky hornet]

isnt tanjun supposed to be more "advanced"

havent heard of crescent

[slate swan]

Released recently

[rocky hornet]

and i've not even used hikari myself, so i dont know a lot about it

[slate swan]

it got a cleaner interface

[slate swan]

i could say that for 3+ discord.py forks.

[rocky hornet]

yea the only thing i know its good

[slate swan]

Especially about their code bases

[rocky hornet]

trust me u dont wanna know their code base

[granite parcel]

page += 1

what does it mean?

[rocky hornet]

page = page + 1

[slate swan]

i dig a lot into pycord's, just to answer "why not use" pycord question.

[paper sluice]

that is equal to page = page + 1, but what do you think "pages" are?

[rocky hornet]

my very simple embed paginator

[slate swan]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/iposehisok
probably the worst thing you wanna see today

[rocky hornet]

oh thats a good idea to remove buttons after timeout, ill add that

dont sue me pls

[slate swan]

its open source anyways so~

[paper sluice]

lol, i yanked mine from danny

[slate swan]

i find danny's paginator kinda overkill

especially for my purposes

[rocky hornet]

i think there'a a bug

you are using a mutable default value

embeds is a list

so when you call init again, it uses the same list, which could already be non-empty

[paper sluice]

a lot of my commands have that kind of pattern, so with a little tweaking its perfect

[rocky hornet]

i find danny's paginator utter crap

ugliest thing i've seen on discord

codeblocks.. really?

[odd mango]

how do i fix this

    for i in embeds:
        if len(embeds) == 1:
            await ctx.send(embed=i)
        else:
            for j in embeds:
                menu.add_page(j)
            await menu.start()```
i mean it works fine but due to for loops messed up i get error

[rocky hornet]

i guess he took pages too literally

[rocky hornet]

forget about replit

[minor totem]

No

[rocky hornet]

yes

[maiden fable]

Yes. Don't use replit

[minor totem]

I am using interactions, I am literally using replit for what it was made for

[rocky hornet]

[maiden fable]

Oh

[minor totem]

👌

[rocky hornet]

wow

[maiden fable]

Why tho 🤨

[paper sluice]

ya ik that, but how is that related to the paginator...? the one he has just uses pagesources

[minor totem]

Discord requires HTTPS. Either this, or I use like Ngrohk/localtonet (iffy), or somehow set up my own domain with certification 😅

[rocky hornet]

not sure we're talking about the same thing. im talking about commands.Paginator

[vernal fog]

from discord.ext import commands

@commands.command()
async def status(ctx):
    await ctx.reply(f"{bot.user.name}")

def setup(bot):
    bot.add_command(status)
``` I'm working with extensions in discord.py, but I'm wondering how to include the bot class from my "main.py"-file so that i can call {bot.user.name} like above. Could anybody help me?

[minor totem]

Replit is the easiest way to do this because you get an HTTPS URL

[rocky hornet]

hi

[slate swan]

whyw would someone call the init dunder manually?

[paper sluice]

im not talking about that, anyways

[rocky hornet]

isnt it called internally?

Class() calls __init__ automatically

[slate swan]

it is... but wdym by init again

[rocky hornet]

if u create another paginator

[slate swan]

then you create another instance of the paginator ez

[rocky hornet]

u dont get it

class A:
    def __init__(self, b=[]):
        b.append(2)
        print(b)
A() # [2]
A() # [2, 2]

why did you send me this...

[odd mango]

i thought you were looking for a better paginator?

[rocky hornet]

no?

[odd mango]

uh okay...

[paper sluice]

i dont disagree

[paper sluice]

install it

and dont use replit

[rocky hornet]

inbefore pip install discord

💀

[summer bough]

Kk

[rocky hornet]

@summer bough you can install it by doing
pip install disnake

[summer bough]

Oki

[rocky hornet]

what

[odd mango]

i need help with this gah

[rocky hornet]

they didnt say they wanted dpy specifically, so i saw no reason to install an inferior lib

ah, my bad pip install disnake[discord]

now it works

and you're using a better library

only upsides dem

[minor totem]

There you go! Got it working now after having to fix a bug 🥴 https://replit.com/@Bluenix2/Contributor-bot#main.py

Is there any free hosting doesnt matter if its slow or bad i just wanna host my bot in one server

[brave moth]

im talking about generating it but with a json

[minor totem]

What type of bot is it?

halp

    for i in embeds:
        if len(embeds) == 1:

i mean it works fine but due to for loops messed up i get error

[brave moth]

can i just send my code here?

bot related

theres no traceback or anythig

[wide thunder]

Most of the commands are just sending some messages/embed and not really doing a big task

[rocky hornet]

party chat is cross-platform, also im currently at work and will return home in about 3.5 hours. is it fine if i dm you my id?

[wide thunder]

Any idea?

[minor totem]

I host my bot on Google Cloud for free. Although... it has 40K members 😅 So you'll do fine there

[brave moth]

well crap...

[paper sluice]

loads makes it a json object from str....

a dict basically

[brave moth]

ive been doing that for long but now, i want it to be generated. the user can add own fields and color

i know someone who did that but their bot is coded in c#

well, my first guess was json then it converts to embed

[slate swan]

!d discord.Embed.from_dict this or what....?

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Embed.from\_dict

classmethod from_dict(data)```
Converts a [`dict`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#dict "(in Python v3.10)") to a [`Embed`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Embed "discord.Embed") provided it is in the format that Discord expects it to be in.

You can find out about this format in the [official Discord documentation](https://discord.com/developers/docs/resources/channel#embed-object).

[slate swan]

or am I taking it the wrong way

who knows

[boreal ravine]

They could use flags

[chrome apex]

can someone tell me how to host a discord bot on aws

[boreal ravine]

You should ask that in #965291480992321536 since your question is related to hosting

[brave moth]

thx

will try it

[slate swan]

guys, I am trying to install discord.py, but when I try, it returns errors? What do?

[paper sluice]

what error?

how are you installing it?

[slate swan]

using the python terminal, lemme get the error up.

python terminal?

imagine using python.exe directly

[paper sluice]

you are supposed to install it in the normal terminal provided by ur os

[slate swan]

ohhhh

that would be CMD then

[rocky hornet]

when i use (self, ctx, *args) does dpy simply use str.split on message content to give me a list?

[paper sluice]

*args returns a list in dpy?

[rocky hornet]

if you denote a parameter like that, yes

[odd mango]

is a json file good to use for a custom prefix command?

[rocky hornet]

*, text will return it as 1 string

[odd mango]

or do i need a db

[paper sluice]

i thought i was just a tuple like normal

[rocky hornet]

json is only ok for initial configuration

other than that u want a db

[odd mango]

so db right

cause set prefix command can be ran anytime

so json data is dynamic

[rocky hornet]

oh im not sure which type it is exactly

could be a tuple

i thought u meant list as a data structure

[rocky hornet]

using files makes ur bot very prone to errors

what if 2 people use this command at once

[boreal ravine]

You don't have to parse anything @brave moth

[boreal ravine]

Just use a lock

[rocky hornet]

or a db 😅

[boreal ravine]

Yes

[odd mango]

the help command though, i am using the minimal help command. will the help command content also update [in only different prefix server] with prefix change?

[rocky hornet]

minimal help command uses prefix used to invoke the help command

you need your own logic to grab prefix(es) from your own function

[odd mango]

oh okay

[odd mango]

do i need to make a different db for prefixes or can i put it in the same one as my data

[slate swan]

How do I run the file to start my bot, now I have it setup?

[livid hinge]

i dont see why youd need separate db

[paper sluice]

ya it returns a tuple and seems like it uses str.split but i can't find it in the src

[odd mango]

uh what then?

[livid hinge]

what os do you have ? where are you running it

[odd mango]

isnt sql in tabular form?

so i just need another table?

[livid hinge]

just store in same db

you have a table for options or smth

key/value store

you could put it there

[odd mango]

yeah

also

[slate swan]

windows 10

• wdym where am I running it

[odd mango]

is it fine to use json for storing data which is static, and file opened only on initialization?

[livid hinge]

py yourfile.py

[odd mango]

does it fine work even with command spam?

[slate swan]

yes again

[livid hinge]

should work

[odd mango]

i trust you but i need opinions 😭

[slate swan]

Should I do it from CMD or Terminal?

[slate swan]

maybe, good luck

[shrewd apex]

[slate swan]

How can I make an embed?

[slate swan]

!d discord.Embed

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Embed

class discord.Embed(*, colour=None, color=None, title=None, type='rich', url=None, description=None, timestamp=None)```
Represents a Discord embed.

len(x) Returns the total size of the embed. Useful for checking if it’s within the 6000 character limit.

bool(b) Returns whether the embed has any data set.

New in version 2.0.

For ease of use, all parameters that expect a [`str`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#str "(in Python v3.10)") are implicitly casted to [`str`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#str "(in Python v3.10)") for you.

Changed in version 2.0: `Embed.Empty` has been removed in favour of `None`.

[slate swan]

I already understood how to do it

Ex:

embed1 = discord.Embed(title="Hello world",description="some description")
await ctx.send(embed=embed1)

[slate swan]

Nice

[slate swan]

thanks

👍

[soft lynx]

hey, i keep getting this error (im using replit as the ide). my project was working yesterday, went to rerun it today and bam this error appeared - any idea as to why its saying too many redirects?

and:

[warm sand]

ok so im looking for a way to make my bot ping a role on use of (?vc) while having a global cooldown of 4 hours

[livid hinge]

try kill 1 in shell

[warm sand]

the code i spent 1 hour doing is trash

[soft lynx]

Yeah I have, multiple times, and then I rerun and I still get that error

[livid hinge]

hm

[soft lynx]

ill try it again

[livid hinge]

theres a pip.cnf , you could delete

[soft lynx]

alright this time i used kill 1,

there was a module with that name yesterday

[livid hinge]

is that from discord-interactions or smth

[soft lynx]

yeah

[livid hinge]

thats in your pyproject

could try venv/bin/python -m pip install discord-interactions in shell

or just rm -rf venv and start over

very buggy tool imo

[soft lynx]

i was thinking of using pip freeze and then seeing what moduels are important

than making a requirements file

ill try that first tho

[livid hinge]

yeah i get rid of the poetry crap coz it never works right in replit for me

requirements.txt does

you technically are a discord bot developer as soon as you create a bot on the dev portal, even if you don't know a shit about programming

[potent spear]

In that case, I'm a Quantum Mechanics professor

[slate swan]

guys

im try open cd command

and im open my file say this error

help me ?

[slate swan]

Okay, then "custom bots commision/for free"

[potent spear]

full traceback & code?

[slate swan]

i hate dis one

but this would be like judging people, so nvm

lmao

thinking I should put it too

[quaint epoch]

you don't come here that often?

[slate swan]

😔 leave mah man alone!

[livid hinge]

wdym ?

i dont always talk

and no probly not as often as some ppl

doesn't matter too much, David
you're almost an Ed Sheeran lookalike if you had curls I think

[livid hinge]

so many ppl tell me so lmao

better than being a murderer lookalike ig

i like poetry just not in replit

[slate swan]

poetry is cool and handy

[paper sluice]

check out stats in #esoteric-python

[slate swan]

i believe replit messes with poetry only because of their outdated py version (3.8.2/4) and auto lib installations

[pure void]

?

[slate swan]

the exact thing would be ctx.author.avatar_url

whats the () at the end, is that part of it

i just searched and only got 68 ?

see

you can't possibly create tetris within the discord app so it isn't possible anyways

wow nice idea rock paper scissors :D

[paper sluice]

monopoly

[slate swan]

lol idk whats tetris

[slate swan]

rock paper for now 💀

I'd bet it's possible

ratelimits might keep you to one player at a time but probably possible

arrow functions in js are basically like lambdas right?

not sure why you're splitting though

and you even override the value the line after it

Comma?

[wicked atlas]

or if theres only one word

!e print("word".split())

[unkempt canyon]

@wicked atlas :white_check_mark: Your eval job has completed with return code 0.

['word']

[wicked atlas]

nvm, that was something else

[slate swan]

its a list of *strings

[formal basin]

Oh

So I don’t need split

[wicked atlas]

!d str.split

[unkempt canyon]

str.split

str.split(sep=None, maxsplit=- 1)```
Return a list of the words in the string, using *sep* as the delimiter string. If *maxsplit* is given, at most *maxsplit* splits are done (thus, the list will have at most `maxsplit+1` elements). If *maxsplit* is not specified or `-1`, then there is no limit on the number of splits (all possible splits are made).

If *sep* is given, consecutive delimiters are not grouped together and are deemed to delimit empty strings (for example, `'1,,2'.split(',')` returns `['1', '', '2']`). The *sep* argument may consist of multiple characters (for example, `'1<>2<>3'.split('<>')` returns `['1', '2', '3']`). Splitting an empty string with a specified separator returns `['']`.

For example:

[narrow grail]

how to remove a item on timeout in a class?

[slate swan]

!d discord.ui.View.on_timeout

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ui.View.on\_timeout

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

A callback that is called when a view’s timeout elapses without being explicitly stopped.

[slate swan]

!d discord.ui.View.remove_item

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ui.View.remove\_item

remove_item(item)```
Removes an item from the view.

This function returns the class instance to allow for fluent-style chaining.

[narrow grail]

everytime I do view.clear_items() it says view is not definied

[formal basin]

Yay thanks guys it’s working

[slate swan]

show code and full traceback

im guessing you are looking for self.clear_items

[narrow grail]

  def __init__(self,ctx):
    super().__init__(timeout=10)
    self.ctx = ctx
  @discord.ui.button(label='next', style= discord.ButtonStyle.gray)
  async def button_callback(self,button, interaction):
    
    await interaction.response.edit_message(content='test')
  
  async def on_timeout(self):
    await view.clear_items()```

[slate swan]

.

[narrow grail]

I tried and it says: Traceback (most recent call last): File "main.py", line 34, in on_timeout await self.clear_items() TypeError: object NoneType can't be used in 'await' expression

[slate swan]

because you don't await it.

[narrow grail]

oh ok

[narrow grail]

but now nothing happens

[slate swan]

that just clears the items from your view, not your message

[narrow grail]

no I want to delete the button, the message should stay there

@slate swan

[slate swan]

that just clears the items from your view, not your message

!d discord ui.View.stop

!d discord.ui.View.stop

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ui.View.stop

stop()```
Stops listening to interaction events from this view.

This operation cannot be undone.

[slate swan]

hse this

[narrow grail]

so self.stop()?

[slate swan]

nvm it wont work either

[cloud dawn]

Just edit the message and pass an empty view aka None lmao

[narrow grail]

hm

[slate swan]

https://github.com/DisnakeDev/disnake/blob/master/examples/views/disable_view.py#L45-L49
https://github.com/DisnakeDev/disnake/blob/master/examples/views/disable_view.py#L12-L18

[unkempt canyon]

examples/views/disable_view.py lines 45 to 49

# Defines our view so that we can use the message in on_timeout to edit it
view = MyView()

# Sends a message with the view
view.message = await ctx.send("These buttons will be disabled or removed", view=view)```
`examples/views/disable_view.py` lines 12 to 18
```py

async def on_timeout(self):
    # Once the view times out we disable the first button and remove the second button
    self.children[0].disabled = True  # type: ignore
    self.remove_item(self.children[1])
    # make sure to update the message with the new buttons
    await self.message.edit(view=self)```

[slate swan]

the point is, view has no attribute or method which gets you the message, you need to attach that manually.

[cloud dawn]

Then retrieve the value and edit it then.

Wait i got sum code.

[slate swan]

@narrow grail use this, the only difference is you will be using self.clear_items instead of the stuff they did inside the on_timeout

[cloud dawn]

await interaction.response.edit_message(content=self.conf_msg, view=None)

Perfect valid response.

[slate swan]

you don't have an interaction in on_timeout 🙂

[paper sluice]

just do self.message = interaction.message (after interaction)

[slate swan]

yeah, thats what the example above basically did ( in a message command though)

[paper sluice]

ah i didnt notice

[lyric apex]

Fetching users with name in client guilds member?

[cloud dawn]

Then edit the msg inside the command since time-out receives a False value.

[lyric apex]

How to do that

[cloud dawn]

!d discord.ui.View.wait

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ui.View.wait

await wait()```
Waits until the view has finished interacting.

A view is considered finished when [`stop()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.ui.View.stop "discord.ui.View.stop") is called or it times out.

[cloud dawn]

Returns
If True, then the view timed out. If False then the view finished normally.

[slate swan]

list comp on bot.users with .name attribute check

[slate swan]

they want to remove the view when the view time outs, how is this related?

[slate swan]

.

[cloud dawn]

[user.name if getattr(user, "name", False) else (await bot.fetch_user(user.id)).name for user in bot.users]

[cloud dawn]

I don't think you are seeing it.

[narrow grail]

Task exception was never retrieved future: <Task finished name='discord-ui-view-timeout-05bf4a51fd6e6a9b7daf0cc476f64ceb' coro=<ViewWitz.on_timeout() done, defined at /root/tb.py:33> exception=IndexError('list index out of range')> Traceback (most recent call last): File "/root/tb.py", line 35, in on_timeout self.remove_item(self.children[1]) IndexError: list index out of range

[cloud dawn]

You can also overwrite the on timeout

[paper sluice]

thats what this is ^

[slate swan]

yeah panda, dealing with extra methods and an additional interaction is just making it an extra deal 😔

[slate swan]

don't see whats the issue in using this.

[cloud dawn]

True

[wicked atlas]

Maybe this?

discord.utils.get(guild.members, name="Username")

[slate swan]

you didn't read the complete message, did you?

[cloud dawn]

I'd use this as well, I was just referring to a different method.

[narrow grail]

my mistake

[pure void]

        title=f'hello {member.mention} ',

Why does the mention look like this?

how can i fix this?

[slate swan]

you can't mention someone in author, title, field names and footers

[pure void]

ah ok thx

[narrow grail]

so actually non of this works

my button is still there

[paper sluice]

!paste show code

[unkempt canyon]

Pasting large amounts of code

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

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

[narrow grail]

  def __init__(self,ctx):
    super().__init__(timeout=10)
    self.ctx = ctx
  @discord.ui.button(label='next', style= discord.ButtonStyle.gray)
  async def button_callback(self,button, interaction):
    
    await interaction.response.edit_message(content='test')
  
  async def on_timeout(self):
    await self.clear_items()```

[slate swan]

now you didn't do the await self.message.edit

[narrow grail]

but I need it cause my message should change everytime you click on the button, but if no one is clicking anymore on the button it should be removed

[timber forum]

Anyone

Who could solve it?

[paper sluice]

u use pycord?

[odd mango]

what all errors i MUST be handling in on_command_error function

[odd mango]

looks like dpy to me

[paper sluice]

interactions come before buttons

[narrow grail]

yyes

[odd mango]

ohh

[paper sluice]

clear_items doesn't edit the message so edit the message as sarth said

[odd mango]

MissingPermissions
MissingRequiredArgument
CommandNotFound
BadArguement
and..?

[narrow grail]

but he said to do it with clear_items

[narrow grail]

.

[paper sluice]

ya but u need the send a message/edit the message for it to show up on the screen

[slate swan]

you used it first at the first place.

[odd mango]

^^^^

[slate swan]

this is what I asked to use

[paper sluice]

the errors you would like to handle... there is no must it really depends on you

[narrow grail]

await self.message.edit(view=self) ?

[paper sluice]

view=None

[narrow grail]

ok

[odd mango]

i mean, which happens often,

[paper sluice]

like UserInputErrors, CommandNotFound, many more

[odd mango]

yeah i need a list of them

which happen often

[slate swan]

the first thing I'd do is not handle or raise thr commands.CommandNotFound, then a mixed response for UserNotFound, MemberNotFound and ChannelNotFound, then MissingRequiredArgument

[paper sluice]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/otumeqarub
@odd mango

[narrow grail]

so confused

[odd mango]

wtf i said OFTEN not ALL

[paper sluice]

i already gave the two most common ones, rest are those

[odd mango]

how do i do a mixed response

[slate swan]

mixed response not in any programming related term lol, basically same if/elif block for all these errors.

[narrow grail]

finally got it, thanks @slate swan @paper sluice

[paper sluice]

with too many bots, possibly with the same prefix in one server, it doesn't make sense to handle commandnotfound. Other wise i dont see a problem

[slate swan]

command not found error is useless

Adding, Did u mean? Is better

[odd mango]

yeah thats what, i wanna do sm like

@bot.event
async def on_command_error(ctx, error):
    if isinstance(error, commands.CommandNotFound):
        await ctx.send("**Invalid command. Try using** `help` **to figure out commands!**")
    if isinstance(error, commands.MissingRequiredArgument):
        await ctx.send('**Please pass in all requirements.**')
    if isinstance(error, commands.MissingPermissions):
        await ctx.send("**You dont have all the requirements or permissions for using this command :angry:**")```

[paper sluice]

ya you can do that, but for that to happen you have to handle CommandNotfound first....

[slate swan]

most of the botlists discourage it, and if you don't have something significant like specifying matching commands with fuzzymatch or something, its useless

[slate swan]

Ye I mean not send only x command not found

[slate swan]

use elifs & don't forget to addelse: raise error in the end

[odd mango]

okayy

[odd mango]

so which all main ones i need to do

[slate swan]

Bruh dc lagged

[odd mango]

command not found happens a lot cause bots with same prefix exist

[paper sluice]

ya that is kinda pointless

does anyone know how to create a webhook with a picture

[warm torrent]

hello I'm trying to create a command in which people can get the bot to dm a user whose id is specified as well as the message itself but my code wont work and i returns the error "AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'send'
Here is the code

async def sendid(ctx, userid, Message):
 await ctx.channel.send("debug")
 id = int(userid)
 user = bot.get_user(id)
 await user.send(Message)````
can you help please ?

[lyric apex]

Maybe U can use

@bot.command()
async def sendid(ctx, user:discord.User, *, message):
    await user.send(message)
    await ctx.reply(f"{message} has been sent to {user}!")```

!d discord.Member | If you want it only for ctx.guild.members then replace User with Member

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member

class discord.Member```
Represents a Discord member to a [`Guild`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Guild "discord.Guild").

This implements a lot of the functionality of [`User`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.User "discord.User").

x == y Checks if two members are equal. Note that this works with [`User`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.User "discord.User") instances too.

x != y Checks if two members are not equal. Note that this works with [`User`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.User "discord.User") instances too.

hash(x) Returns the member’s hash.

str(x) Returns the member’s name with the discriminator.

is "user:discord.user" taking an id ?

[slate swan]

Dear please tell me what is wrong

    @commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_member_join(member):
        channel = client.get_channel( 977252614498582538)

        role = discord.utils.get ( member.guild.roles, id = 977252174964871258)

        await member.add_roles (role)
        await channel.send ( embed = discord.Embed (description = f"``{member.name}``, добро пожаловать на сервер", color = 0xffffff))

i dont know anything about cogs but i think you might also need self

[sick birch]

I'm assuming that you're using this inside a class, because of your use of @commands.Cog.listener(), and all regular instance methods (excluding @classmethod and @staticmethod) need to have self as the first argument:

@commands.Cog.listener()
async def on_member_join(self, member: discord.Member):
  ...

[slate swan]

oh right. just got another error

    @commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_member_join(self, member: discord.Member):
        channel = client.get_channel( 977252614498582538)

        role = discord.utils.get ( member.guild.roles, id = 977252174964871258)

        await member.add_roles (role)
        await channel.send ( embed = discord.Embed (description = f"``{member.name}``, добро пожаловать на сервер", color = 0xffffff))

Your client is not an instance of discord.Client, but an instance of http.client for some odd reason?

If you have this import, delete it:

from http import client
