How do I detected when someone clicks a button? This is what I have to add a button:

view = discord.ui.View()
view.add_item(discord.ui.Button(label="Test Button", style=discord.ButtonStyle.green))

await client.get_channel(channelId).send(embed=embed, view=view)```

Pycord?

stable nymph Mar 1, 2023, 1:37 PM

#

Euhh

#

Does that also work when the bot restarts?

Bot UI Kit

The library has helpers to help create component-based UIs. Shortcut decorators: Objects: Attributes children, disable_on_timeout, message, timeout. Methods cls View.from_message, def add_item, def...

#

discord.ui.View.interaction_check()

#

And then is_component() to check that the interaction comes from the button

#

Oh yeesh

#

There's like 10 ways of doing that, lmao

Yes! It works sort of, it does detect it when I click the button however I get this error:

interaction.response.send_message("pressed")
AttributeError: 'Button' object has no attribute 'response'```

#

Hmm

#

Hold on

#

There's the await callback(interaction) that's for discord.ui.Button

#

Which is what you use in the add_item

#

Hmmm

Waaaat

#

I don't get it how these docs work lol

unborn mauve Mar 1, 2023, 1:57 PM

#

OH

#

view = discord.ui.View()

customButton = discord.ui.Button(label="Test Button", style=discord.ButtonStyle.green)

async def customButton_callback(interaction):
  await interaction.response.send_message("Hello!")

customButton.callback = customButton_callback

view.add_item(customButton)

await client.get_channel(channelId).send(embed=embed, view=view)

Try that

#

I guess you could also use customButton.callback = await interaction.response.send_message("Hello!")

stable nymph Mar 1, 2023, 2:04 PM

#

unborn mauve ```py view = discord.ui.View() customButton = discord.ui.Button(label="Test But...

That works however it doesn't work anymore when retstarting the bot...

unborn mauve Mar 1, 2023, 2:04 PM

#

Hmmm

stable nymph Mar 1, 2023, 2:05 PM

#

how do I access the user who pressed the button with that?

Pycord

Discord Models

Models are classes that are received from Discord and are not meant to be created by the user of the library. Attributes key, url. Methods def is_animated, async read, def replace, async save, def ...

#

And

#

view = discord.ui.View()

customButton = discord.ui.Button(label="Test Button", custom_id="testButton1" style=discord.ButtonStyle.green)

async def customButton_callback(interaction):
  await interaction.response.send_message("Hello!")

view.timeout = None
customButton.callback = customButton_callback

view.add_item(customButton)
bot.add_view(view)

await client.get_channel(channelId).send(embed=embed, view=view)

I think?

stable nymph Mar 1, 2023, 2:09 PM

#

Lemeee try

unborn mauve Mar 1, 2023, 2:10 PM

#

Or client.add_view() if you're using client instead of bot

stable nymph Mar 1, 2023, 2:10 PM

#

Yeah ik

#

There's no difference between that and the previous piece of code you sent thonk

unborn mauve Mar 1, 2023, 2:12 PM

#

In function?

#

Or in code?

stable nymph Mar 1, 2023, 2:12 PM

#

In function

#

We somehow need to store the view and then use add_view in the on_read event I assume

unborn mauve Mar 1, 2023, 2:19 PM

#

Yeah

stable nymph Mar 1, 2023, 2:20 PM

#

stable nymph We somehow need to store the `view` and then use `add_view` in the on_read event...

How can I make a json object from view tho

#

Ok, I got restarting to work

#

Now all I need is access the user who clicked the button Thonking

unborn mauve Mar 1, 2023, 2:34 PM

#

stable nymph Mar 1, 2023, 2:36 PM

#

#

How can I send the user an ephemeral message?

unborn mauve Mar 1, 2023, 2:37 PM

#

ephemeral=True ?

#

stable nymph Mar 1, 2023, 2:38 PM

#

Oh wait

#

unborn mauve Mar 1, 2023, 2:38 PM

#

stable nymph Mar 1, 2023, 2:39 PM
