🔒 buttons in dpy

[marsh robin]

this is my code:

class ConfirmOrderMenu(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        self.value = None
    
    @discord.ui.button(label = "Confirm Order", style = discord.ButtonStyle.green)
    async def confirm(self, button: discord.ui.Button, interaction: discord.Interaction):
        print("success")
        self.value = "confirm"
        self.stop
    
    @discord.ui.button(label = "Cancel Order", style = discord.ButtonStyle.red)
    async def cancel(self, button: discord.ui.Button, interaction: discord.Interaction):
        print("canceled")
        self.value = "cancel"
        self.stop

@client.tree.command(name = "bolt")
async def bolt(interaction: discord.Interaction):

    menu = ConfirmOrderMenu()
    temp_channel = client.get_channel(temp_channel.id)
    await temp_channel.send(f"<@{interaction.user.id}>")
    await temp_channel.send(embed=confirm_order_embed, view=menu)

    await menu.wait()

    if menu.value == "confirm":
        print("ok")

im trying to get it to print ok

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 Paste! button in the bottom left, or by pressing CTRL + S. After doing that, you will be navigated to the new paste's page. Copy the URL and post it here so others can see it.

[lunar prawn]

put it in here

[marsh robin]

okay

[lunar prawn]

there's quite a few things wrong with this

lemme boot up my laptop rq

[marsh robin]

aight

[lunar prawn]

ok i'm on it

[marsh robin]

i tried my best, watched a few tutorials on ytb but nothing that would do what i wanted it to do

last resort chatgpt

thats what it gave me

[lunar prawn]

this is not how you want to make a confirmation view. the issues are:

1. the parameters are the wrong way around
2. .stop is mentioned, not called
3. it would be easier to set .value to a boolean instead of a string
4. (optional) use shortened statements through imports:

# Do this
from discord.ui import button, View

class MyView(View):
    @button(...)
    async def ...(...):
        ...

# Instead of this
import discord

class MyView(discord.ui.View):
    @discord.ui.button(...)
    async def ...(...):
        ...

[lunar prawn]

youtube tutorials aren't good for learning discord.py

[lunar prawn]

and neither is AI responses

!rule 10

[rich estuary]

Rules

10. Do not copy and paste answers from ChatGPT or similar AI tools.

[lunar prawn]

there's a reason we have this rule

[marsh robin]

yeah that makes sense

[lunar prawn]

because AI responses are often incorrect

[marsh robin]

in my case i didnt paste an answer though

[lunar prawn]

they're unreliable at best

[marsh robin]

true

[lunar prawn]

i know - i'm explaining why we have that rule

and linking it to why you shouldn't use AI tools

[lunar prawn]

this is your list of issues btw

[marsh robin]

okay ill change it

[lunar prawn]

also why are you sending two separate messages instead of grouping them into one message?

[lunar prawn]

and why are you manually implementing User.mention?

[marsh robin]

tbh i dont know 😂

thanks for pointing them out

i changed them, but still how do i get it to print ok?

[lunar prawn]

lemme see your new code

[marsh robin]

class ConfirmOrderMenu(View):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        self.value = None
    
    @button(label = "Confirm Order", style = discord.ButtonStyle.green)
    async def confirm(self, button: discord.ui.Button, interaction: discord.Interaction):
        print("success")
        self.value = "confirm"
        self.stop
    
    @button(label = "Cancel Order", style = discord.ButtonStyle.red)
    async def cancel(self, button: discord.ui.Button, interaction: discord.Interaction):
        print("canceled")
        self.value = "cancel"
        self.stop


@client.tree.command(name = "bolt")
async def bolt(interaction: discord.Interaction):

    menu = ConfirmOrderMenu()
    temp_channel = client.get_channel(temp_channel.id)
    await temp_channel.send(interaction.user.mention)
    await temp_channel.send(embed=confirm_order_embed, view=menu)

    await menu.wait()

    if menu.value == "confirm":

        print("ok")

its not the entire bolt command but i dont think it makes a difference wether i send the entire thing or not

[lunar prawn]

aaand you changed only .mention

i listed 5 other issues

[marsh robin]

sorry but which exactly

[lunar prawn]

here

[marsh robin]

what do you mean by mentioned, not called?

im not sure if i even need it

[lunar prawn]

self.stop is mentioning it, not calling it

!e ```py
def f():
print(5)

f
f()

[rich estuary]

:white_check_mark: Your 3.12 eval job has completed with return code 0.

5

[lunar prawn]

see how it only prints once?

[marsh robin]

ohhhhh

yes i know what you mean

[lunar prawn]

!e ```py
def f():
print(5)

f()

[rich estuary]

:white_check_mark: Your 3.12 eval job has completed with return code 0.

5

[lunar prawn]

that's how you get a function to run

[marsh robin]

i got it working

tysm

[lunar prawn]

lemme see the code

[marsh robin]

class ConfirmOrderMenu(View):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        self.value = None
    
    @button(label = "Confirm Order", style = discord.ButtonStyle.green)
    async def confirm(self, button: discord.ui.Button, interaction: discord.Interaction):
        self.value = "confirm"
        self.stop()
    
    @button(label = "Cancel Order", style = discord.ButtonStyle.red)
    async def cancel(self, button: discord.ui.Button, interaction: discord.Interaction):
        self.value = "cancel"
        self.stop()


@client.tree.command(name = "bolt")
async def bolt(interaction: discord.Interaction):

    menu = ConfirmOrderMenu()
    temp_channel = client.get_channel(temp_channel.id)
    confirm_order_msg = await temp_channel.send(interaction.user.mention, embed=confirm_order_embed, view=menu)

    await menu.wait()

    if menu.value == "confirm":

        print("ok")

[lunar prawn]

still got errors

did you read what i said?
