Component-based messages/components V2

[half wedge]

This is how it worked for me the first time

[tame rose]

Why this thread has 1000 messages? @small bane

[waxen herald]

because this is kinda popular

you don't have to ping anybody for questions in this server

[half wedge]

you said it all

It is also the future of discohook and embeds themselves.

[waxen herald]

what

[half wedge]

sorry im not native idk what i said XD

[waxen herald]

i mean here, who said what

[bleak pebble]

no errors, it just works on 1 server and nowhere else

i solved it, u need to delete and create buttons+flows again, when u change webhook and server where u send

[vestal kindle]

The error that you can only add actions but they disappear immediately when the page is reloaded is so annoying

[tame rose]

discohook froze when i try to add buttons

[vestal kindle]

Is it possible to connect discohook with tickettool?

[elder valve]

no

[vestal kindle]

Can we only send messages via webhook?

[elder valve]

and „with“ discohook utils through components yes

[vestal kindle]

Ok

So we can connect tt with dh

[elder valve]

no?

lol

[tardy raft]

Tried but the support team of tickettool said that this is a discord api limitation so ye

[lapis birch]

Are inlines impossible to do with components v2

[idle urchin]

cv2 does not support inlines

[wraith bough]

I wish they had allowed that.

[dusky bane]

Is this released yet

[idle urchin]

still in open beta until further notice #announcements message

or just replace the json text with {"flags": 32768} in the editor

[dusky bane]

Oh but I can still use it right

[idle urchin]

yes, that's what open beta means

[kind lintel]

.

[errant hill]

Heyo
So i noticed that now you can directly ping roles inside the embed with v2 as opposed to the classic message mentions
problem now is.. how can I link roles in embeds without it pinging

[idle urchin]

Options → Allowed Mentions → Enable "Control mentions in this message" and do not enable anything else/check any boxes in said option

[errant hill]

Ohhh cheers

[torpid cargo]

When I add a second message, it doesn't have CV2 options available. Is that yet to be implemented, or a limitation?

[idle urchin]

think it's intended for now #1354216628488765450 message

[torpid cargo]

Oh, the duplicate works. Right on, thanks

[unreal flower]

Did this release?

[elder valve]

still a beta

( open beta )

[upbeat zealot]

are there any plans to make a preview on components v2? i know this may be hard or not possible so i was just wondering if this is possible, thanks!

[tardy raft]

What do you mean?

[tardy raft]

That's already implemented

[upbeat zealot]

oh alright thanks

[upbeat zealot]

i see, i did not see this because i was using it on mobile

thank you

[half wedge]

-# I feel like the flows aren't working, I'll test them but...(forget i only put "Member.role_ids", instead "member.role_ids" and that broke all)

[vestal kindle]

Nope

[tardy raft]

Not sure if this is a cv2 bug but sometimes whenever I add a row and add one link button with one normal button, Send one it works. Replace the other section with the same thing but for discords guildlines, Error appears. This is what it gave me:

  "message": "Invalid Form Body",
  "code": 50035,
  "errors": {
    "components": {
      "0": {
        "components": {
          "7": {
            "components": {
              "1": {
                "custom_id": {
                  "_errors": [
                    {
                      "code": "BUTTON_COMPONENT_CUSTOM_ID_REQUIRED",
                      "message": "A custom id is required"
                    }
                  ]
                }
              }
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}```

[vestal kindle]

It is. Instead of fixing Bugs in cv2, they add fancy animations

[half wedge]

hey

[half wedge]

Poor Shay, without Shay we wouldn't have discohook in the first place, value his work instead of criticizing it, and I know he'll solve it but have mercy, give him time to solve it, the dev team is small (not to say it's just Shay), it's in very bad taste to criticize other people's work if it bothers you so much, fix it yourself, it's a beta what were you waiting for?

[gritty yarrow]

https://discohook.app/?share=OZonNRIG

Not letting me send message

afaik it might be problem of button

aka normal button with send text action

i loaded backup into it, to make it send it

and it says "Invalid Body form"

[elder valve]

being mad abt smth completely free is a bit off imo 🥴

[small bane]

?

[tardy raft]

@small bane hopefully ok to ping you but do you know a fix for this or is just a cv2 bug youe going to fix in the future?

[small bane]

If you could record a video that would be great, might be tough to repro your exact circumstance since it seems a bit involved

[tardy raft]

Alr

File limit hol up

[small bane]

Little harsh

Also it is just me for the record

[tardy raft]

https://files.fm/u/jskbjxu2h4

Click the link, Then the video and there. Or just download the video

I could have just compressed the video-

Didn't think bout that

mb

-# @small bane sorry again for the ping I just wanna let you know if your busy c:

-# ^

[small bane]

yes i see thanks. what are you doing at 43 seconds

[tardy raft]

Basically, Im having sections for my guidlines ans to say for the member to follow Discord's Guidlines and tos. I already made the tos section and it didnt give me an error but once I did the same thing to the discord Guidlines sections then it resulted in an error.

E

tos is done. Guidlines doesnt have a "Why?" Button because of the error.

[stuck relic]

The Selection Menu is alread working on Components v2 ?

[vestal kindle]

Use sapphire

[elder valve]

no one is holding u back from using sapphire lol

[vestal kindle]

The component Animation.

[small bane]

Are you upset that I try to make the interface look nice when I work on this project?

I’m just confused

[tardy raft]

-# @small bane sorry for the ping yet again i just wanna let you know :c

[stuck relic]

Is possible do something like this with cv2 ?

[half wedge]

Nope, the feature was discontinued by Discord.

[half wedge]

I don't know, just shut up. Why are you here in the first place?

[stuck relic]

F

[elder valve]

its not really discontinued, its just not in cv2

-# for whatever reason

[half wedge]

True, but CV2 is roughly """CV1 2.0""" and it is the version that replaces CV1, using CV1 is like using the old version of a game, it is not bad but it is still old

[elder valve]

not really

its not cv1

its just embeds

its smth different

[half wedge]

That's why 3 quotes, "it's discontinued" but it depends on how you understand it

At the end of the day, you can't do it with CV2 and that's what matters.

[worldly granite]

this is embed fields and they don't exist in CV2, basically embed replacement there is container which just doesn't support it
sucks indeed

[vestal kindle]

I am here to tell people to use sapphire

[elder valve]

lmao

[half wedge]

._.

[vestal kindle]

Ban him?

I did nothing forbidden

So, shut up

:)

Can you please

https://tenor.com/view/discord-ping-ping-nice-day-benice-pingoff-gif-2743474915973665478

I am not interested in your messages

[small bane]

both of you are being unnecessarily aggressive

i don't care if you prefer a different bot but coming in here "to tell people to use <x>" is generally slimy

so you will eventually be booted for that

[half wedge]

passive aggressive... but there are people who are so 😭, maybe it doesn't count as the 3/5 rule but it should be regulated

[boreal scarab]

Not sure if this is a bug or just me doing things wrong - but when I save a message with a Flow - everything works. However, if I reopen the message to alter the flow - the flow is no longer attached.

[worldly granite]

I'm having similar problem sometimes that flow isn't saved, I'm checking via closing-opening flow editing dialog of component, usually don't need to reload backup, it's just not saved in the first place for some reason

[tardy raft]

That's a known issue that shay needs to fix. I know its annoying but for now you need to remake the flow again.

[small bane]

well if the flow is still working then it exists and does not need to be recreated

can you clarify what you are encountering tyr_one

[gritty yarrow]

wdym

it's good bot

[glad flare]

Move on please.

[half wedge]

Yes, I will delete my messages

I already did it

[tardy raft]

Whenever I just edit the flow and close my browser, Flow is gone. Does it need to execute a command like Restore or smth and it will have the flow?

I just edit my containers on my browser

I only create webhooks with commands. Not editing embeds or containers

[boreal scarab]

Yes.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:

1. Create flow
2. Save flow
3. Save Backup
4. Close out of Discohook
5. Come back to Discohook
6. Load Backup from step 3
7. View "Flow"

EXPECTED RESULT:
Flow that I created is still there

ACTUAL RESULT:
Flow is empty.

Ignore this issue. It was user error.

[half wedge]

I report both as well

(and it's not like last time, the flow is never sent directly)

I had to recreate it about 10 times, and it only lasted 3 days each time.

[boreal scarab]

You have the "add role" issue too?

[half wedge]

directly neither of the 2 worked

You see, I use checks almost every day.

and the flows always break

I have shifted my focus to other personal projects because of this.

[boreal scarab]

I've not had any 'break' on checks but this is definitely not working.

[half wedge]

That's what I mean when I say they break.

either way

[boreal scarab]

So this is a known issue then?

[half wedge]

The flows work very badly (no criticism intended), they mix and disappear constantly

[small bane]

thanks for the repro steps. for posterity i've just tried to encounter the issue myself in both a standard and cv2 message and the flow still loads as expected in both, so i assume it was indeed just user error as you mentioned

[bleak pebble]

I had error with "...custom_id_required", when I duplicated buttons, than I just changed "custom_id" in JSON editor and error disappeared)

[boreal scarab]

I am on Firefox. Perhaps that's the issue?

The flows work, but it simply will not load.

[small bane]

no, i use firefox

[echo willow]

hey guys, forgive the disturb, did anyone experice a flow registration issue with V2 components?

[worldly granite]

I do regularly

flow isn't saved

make sure to click save button ofc and then just reload page of backup in message editor then check that flow is there

when it's not saved it's empty there

then try creating it again

and check again

[echo willow]

Alright

I guess that's a bug for V2 stuff

[small bane]

This behavior is noted on the preview panel in the little blue box

[gritty yarrow]

discohook still in beta with these

it's okay

atleast, link buttons are working perfectly fine

[elder valve]

ig I‘m pretty lucky w everything working perfectly for me xD

[tardy raft]

e

[tardy raft]

Was supposed to show the time but only shows the variable?

[elder valve]

perhaps its only for interaction responses

[tardy raft]

Its a variable to show the time when the message was sent though

Similar to embed's footer

https://tenor.com/view/orange-cat-gets-flung-and-explodes-orange-cat-funny-cat-meme-explodes-gif-10706110874965244466

[elder valve]

i know, but footer is smth different as its an official field

and again, maybe its only for interactions since thats the case for most of the variables

[tardy raft]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1158250240638468149/1377339194095042691/togif.gif

[half wedge]

It's simple, use a generic website to generate timestamps, or write it and that's it.

<t:1752614100:t>

[worldly granite]

not when you don't know in advance when exactly the message will be posted, e.g. it's response to a button click, or scheduled message

[half wedge]

The delay is minimal, and he is not using it as a backup to press a button, he just sent a plain message and that's it.

[worldly granite]

I've no idea about his case, but not like his use case is the only needed for other ppl

so it's still the real issue if it doesn't replace variable with value

[half wedge]

Therefore, that variable is made for other people to use when executing a flow, that's the idea, but that's precisely what he's doing wrong.

He just sends a normal message

[worldly granite]

I see, if it doesn't work only there then yeah not a big deal

[half wedge]

Exactly, because it is not made to be used like that.

[elder valve]

my words

[tardy raft]

I sent my message before this error popped up and it sent it witn no problems. Now it says my emoji is are invalid. I didnt type them manually I used the menu that the website gives to add emojis, Mentions, Channels etc.. This is the error: { "message": "Invalid Form Body", "code": 50035, "errors": { "components": { "0": { "components": { "4": { "components": { "0": { "emoji": { "id": { "_errors": [ { "code": "BUTTON_COMPONENT_INVALID_EMOJI", "message": "Invalid emoji" } ]
-# Its cut off because it keeps erroring whenever copying the error so I had to copy parts of it

[misty heath]

This happens in one of your components.
You may wanna try re-adding the emoji to see if it fixes it

[tardy raft]

Thought this was smth else but it was one of my link buttons. Changed it and it work. Yey

[torpid cargo]

When you're working with a lot of messages, it starts to get hard or impossible to scroll down and edit the lower portions https://gyazo.com/84a3aec2ccaca07907f01b86471d80ce

[elder valve]

img urls count as characters wth

[half wedge]

It happens to me too

I seem to remember that a refresh fixes it.

But I have a hunch it's because of the extra, useless 3rd scroll next to the live preview.

[torpid cargo]

I noticed if I leave all messages and containers expanded, it doesn't seem to do it, your list is just super long

[small bane]

you should be able to scroll past that overflow if you just keep going when you hit the end. depends on your browser

#support message

[torpid cargo]

Mm, not sure I follow. With the left or right scrollbar? The left definitely runs up against a wall (Chrome)

[half wedge]

Well, I can deactivate it from the console, I don't know if that will help.

[ornate cipher]

@small bane how do i add a separator/divider on current discohook.app site? i'm confused

[hard hazel]

In the json set flags to 32768
Then the editor will show you the option to add components

[ornate cipher]

shouldn't this be default?

thank you btw

[idle urchin]

not yet, as it's currently in open beta
#announcements message

[ornate cipher]

it's weird. through the beta link, all components show on add. when i add a message, those components are hidden except row. then i need to set the flags to 32768 (if i can find it)

[idle urchin]

because the link has the flag included

[elder valve]

where exactly is that btw? I js can‘t find it

[ornate cipher]

put this anywhere inside curly brackets. should work

"flags": 32768,

[elder valve]

yeah that worked thx

thought „flags“ was already in there somewhere

[ornate cipher]

if you clear the default message, the json editor gives you blank. you won't get "flags": 0,

[elder valve]

yeah I figured that

[waxen herald]

can this be added as a toggle in flags

it's been so long

just disable the toggle when there's any other content in the message

[hard hazel]

Yeah there is a flags section but it doesn’t include components v2 flag.

Shay probably has other plans to allow people use components v2 once its released

since the checkbox would be hard to find

[flat ether]

I don't have anything to implement since everyone on this channel has already mentioned some things I intended to share here, so I just want to say that the development team is doing an incredible job implementing the new components. Thank you, Discohook Dev Team!

Sorry for the poor English; I used a translator.

[vestal kindle]

Is the Bug witz the component flow fixxed?

They disappear every time

[elder valve]

do silent mentions not work for single user mentions?

[hard hazel]

As far as I know silent just means no sound, you will still see the red dot. (Incase that’s what’s confusing you)

To entirely get rid of the notification you’d have to use allowed mentions

[elder valve]

ah I see

yeah I don‘t get the notification but It still looks like I got „normally“ mentioned

[simple moss]

I am having an issue where my ephemeral message will not appear even when my flow is correct.

I got it to work in a different server just struggling with the server I am trying to make it work in.

[small bane]

what's the content of the backup you're using @simple moss

[simple moss]

It is a container if that is what you are asking? Sorry if not 😭

[small bane]

like just generally what's in it, it might just be invalid such that discord doesn't let the bot send it

a screenshot of the preview would probably be fine

[simple moss]

Gotcha, one second

[small bane]

Well that seems fine, can you send it using a webhook normally

[simple moss]

I will have to try tomorrow if that’s okay, but I’ll let you know if it works!

[hazy mist]

Same for me

I have old backup i change it to Cv2 using Json editor and the bot does not send it , i also did try a new backup with cv2 also the same thing.

It jest test

https://discohook.app/?share=RtBPRKNS
"backupId": "197076953834983425

[half wedge]

you can't put the flag and it will instantly become

The flag only tells the editor whether it is in CV2 or CV1, it does not convert the message.

or what do you mean more specifically?

[waxen herald]

you need to recreate every embed and piece of text manually

[hazy mist]

i did that i recreate the backup and the button and it still the same thing

[obtuse gate]

how do u get to the beta

[elder valve]

#1354216628488765450 message

[obtuse gate]

ah okay thanks

[tardy raft]

Can cv2 send invite links? I mean like the whole preview of the server whenever sending the invite? If I try sending it raw with discords formatting, Preview isnt there. Is this now blocked by Discord?

[small bane]

I don’t think cv2 unfurls any sort of links

[tardy raft]

So it isnt supported anymore?

[small bane]

Was it ever

[tardy raft]

Yeah

It was on embeds but it only showed the old embedded preview but this new one

https://tenor.com/view/cat-kitty-kitten-sushi-cat-eating-gif-16756932848560319362

[obtuse gate]

ohh yea its very nice that mentions are allowed now :)

[obtuse gate]

how do you set this

like how do u change the flags

[tardy raft]

At the bottom of your message, Find Options -> JSON Editor. Then paste the flag. Paste this to the editor: "flags": 36864,

[obtuse gate]

Ok

is something wrong

{
"content": "sigma"
"flags": 36864
}

thats my json

[tardy raft]

Yep

Because this is code, You need to add ,.

[obtuse gate]

ohh ok

[tardy raft]

So basically, { "content": "sigma", "flags": 36864 }

[obtuse gate]

ohh ok thanks

[small bane]

You can’t have content though

[obtuse gate]

What do you mean?

[small bane]

In components v2 that field is disallowed

You have to replicate it with a text component

Same with embeds and everything else

[obtuse gate]

Like this part of a message?

Yeah, I noticed it was removed

[waxen herald]

what's 36864

[hard hazel]

It indicates that a message is using components V2

[waxen herald]

usually that's 32768

maybe there's some other flag enabled there actually

yeh

[hard hazel]

Ah yeah

[obtuse gate]

Guys can you use embeds and cv2 together?

[tardy raft]

Not in one message but in 2 is possible

Just created a new message and there

Embed options will be there

[obtuse gate]

oh ok

[devout mirage]

Is this a Bug?

Everytime i add a Flow and save everything

And Reload the site

Every Flow is gone

[obtuse gate]

yea its a bug

[devout mirage]

Its horrible

[elder valve]

u shouldn‘t reaload the site mid-editing whatsoever

sometimes the whole message gets resetted

[obtuse gate]

fr

idk why u did that

[hazy mist]

u can open it from browser history
It will be the same before reload

[obtuse gate]

how

its the same link

[hazy mist]

I did not try it with cv2

But this person it worked for him
In the old one
#support message

[obtuse gate]

That's for the whole messaged

message

Discohook uses the link to store data im pretty sure

Which im guessing the link doesn't store flows

So that's why when you reload most data stays

It's the link

But flows arent saved i guess

[half wedge]

This is not in the CV2

(Convert gifs)

[karmic parrot]

Do the new components v2 not support scheduled messages?

[slender glen]

What do you mean? You can schedule backups of cv2 messages just like regular messages

[small bane]

I don’t actually remember if I’ve tested that yet

[karmic parrot]

Nope

[slender glen]

I know you can and it works because I've been doing it for a couple months now

I guess if the message isn't sending, then try sending it normally first and see if there's an error I guess

[karmic parrot]

It is sending normally

But once you go for scheduled, it's not

And if I add a non-component message to the same backup, that part sends but not the part with the container, content etc

[karmic parrot]

Can you show me your setup please

Because they send when I manually do it, but when the scheduled time comes, they don't

At least the message with the new components don't

[slender glen]

I should add my messages don't have any fancy buttons or drop downs though

[karmic parrot]

Neither do mine

Only content for text and dividers

[slender glen]

I can't forward it here for some reason, but you should be able to view the server without joining #1214599067993382943 message

[karmic parrot]

This is what mine look like. Maybe it's the container that breaks it?

Sorry, my internet just went out like right after I sent my message

[slender glen]

I doubt a container would cause it, but you never know

[karmic parrot]

Wait nevermind, I'm an idiot and used webhooks I created

Sorry about that, I forgot about the Discord bot

[worldly granite]

I use sheduled CV2 messages on discohook, with containers, images, separators, buttons and flows for them - all works fine, sent every day.

[karmic parrot]

Yep, just remembered that I should use the bot to create the webhooks first, that seems to work

Sorry for my questionable intellect lol

[worldly granite]

np good luck

[karmic parrot]

At least it should work now

[hazy mist]

If i copy a row with select menu all the value in it will be the same

If i didn't change them it will not work

[solar stirrup]

If I understand correctly, 'Containers' are basically the new embeds? Interesting, although it's a shame that there isn't like a separate title field.

I suppose that's why # / ## / ### headings are a thing tho

[elder valve]

components v2 is not an updated version of embeds, it is smth new and different, and u can make containers look like they‘re embeds

[solar stirrup]

gotcha

[solar stirrup]

Do triggers not currently work with cv2?

[elder valve]

how does your welcomer backup look like

[solar stirrup]

{
  "flags": 32768,
  "components": [
    {
      "type": 17,
      "components": [
        {
          "type": 10,
          "content": "Hey {member.mention}, welcome to **[redacted]**! Please read the #💌rules and complete your  #🌸introductions! Before you start talking, be sure to send a copy of your schedule one of the mods listed in #💌rules for verification! We're happy to have you here :3"
        }
      ],
      "accent_color": 12206578
    }
  ]
}

[elder valve]

not sure then, works for me

[solar stirrup]

Hm, I'll try again then

I'll redo the entire thing

(by redo , i mean set it up again)

[solar stirrup]

I'm not entire sure this is it, but it may be: I realised that the webhook was made by me manually, so I went to create one via Discohook and it worked. 🤔

I thought the only thing that was restricted were the buttons/menus?

[elder valve]

doesnt really make sense ( to me at least ) in theory, but that might be it yeah

[solar stirrup]

well, thanks for checking the message to make sure it wasn't a problem w/ the message

[small bane]

Oh I know what that is. Will fix it so you can use non bot webhooks

[glacial pilot]

HOW TO DO LIKE THIS

Can i dm you i just tried but nothing happend

Please

I show you my work

[ornate badger]

Use the above

[glacial pilot]

thanks

[glacial pilot]

but

Uh

this is kinda new for me

Can you help

Can i do something like this?

in comps v2

[ornate badger]

Yes

Press buttons and find out

[glacial pilot]

uhhh

what should i chose

[ornate badger]

Select them and see what they do

[glacial pilot]

OH

[glacial pilot]

Thank you. Really.

[hasty mango]

How to make these big black lines?

[hasty mango]

What was jt?

[hasty mango]

How did u managed to make black lines

[hasty mango]

Okie

bro thanks

BIG BRO

[hard hazel]

People are recommending discord.builders because it says you don’t live preview

#1364347506200416307 message

[elder valve]

maybe they‘re confused? cuz how lol

[elder valve]

isn‘t it literally discord builders that doesnt have a preview? 😭

wow, how mobile friendly

now I can use half of my screen

[small bane]

lol I meant people to take that as “it’s incomplete” not “it doesn’t exist” but I guess the preview is pretty much done

[obtuse gate]

omg very friendly

no guys NO

[slender glen]

Probably doesn't help discohook's cv2 support is still sort of hidden as well

I actually set a browser bookmark just to open the cv2 editor

[small bane]

It is becoming less hidden

[obtuse gate]

real then Iearned abt the flags

[obtuse gate]

also Shay what issues are there and do u know when it might be fully released,

[gritty yarrow]

LOL

i think it's not that bad

[worldly granite]

discohook is an ecosystem - website, preview, backups, scheduling, bot, interactions and flows
the other website is just one message sending, pff how can be even comparable

[elder valve]

right?

[half wedge]

it is very rare

You have to press F12 and type in the console:

document.body.style.overflow = "hidden";
document.documentElement.style.overflow = "hidden";

its the only thing that works

[small bane]

or scroll up

[stone wagon]

is components v2 editor close to done?

[elder valve]

u can already use everything rn

[stone wagon]

ok

[terse marten]

Did I do something wrong? My placeholder message isn't registering.

[gloomy girder]

it seems like when adding a button to a section, the custom id isn't set so sending errors out, i was able to fix it by using the json editor and adding a random value, but is this intentional? i may have missed a way to add a custom id

i didn't really care about what it's set to since i'm just using it to conceptualize stuff

[small bane]

It should do that yeah. Intr component creation is slightly different outside of rows

[small bane]

Registration isn’t 100% with v1 right now so it’s a bit tricky

[terse marten]

I got it to work now by resending it multiple times.

[dapper sonnet]

can anyone tell me how to make this

[gloomy girder]

sorry do you mean it should set the id or that it's intentional that it's not set?

[small bane]

The editor is supposed to assign you a custom id

[elder valve]

go to https://discohook.app/?data=eyJtZXNzYWdlcyI6W3siZGF0YSI6e30sIl9pZCI6IkYyV3VzNkZHNEoifV19 and test it out

[dapper sonnet]

I want like this

[silent finch]

hi, could you please respond to my dm

[silent finch]

maybe you could read?

https://discohook.app/?share=0eF5EPH1

[dapper sonnet]

How i add embbed message in row

[tardy raft]

Rows are only meant for components.

[dapper sonnet]

I am trying to make it like this

[dapper sonnet]

@tardy raft

[tardy raft]

What are you confused on?

Rows can be used inside or outside the container

[dapper sonnet]

I want to add a message in it so that when someone selects the option, the message gets displayed to him

[tardy raft]

Add a button or dropdown -> edit flow -> Add action -> send message -> Ephemeral

[dapper sonnet]

Can you give me a screenshot or make a video

[boreal scarab]

Not sure this is specific to Components V2 or not (as I'm only using the Components v2 at this point):

Quick Edit works in Thread Channels but not in Forum Channels.

[devout mirage]

Components v2 can be good

BUT NOTHING CHANCED FOR LIKE 1 MONTH

In discohook

[waxen herald]

be the change you wanna see https://github.com/discohook/

[elder valve]

what kind of a change are u expecting?

[small bane]

things change

[slender glen]

Has there been any work on drag and drop reordering of components? That'll be super handy for CV2

[small bane]

I briefly looked into it before getting occupied by something else. It’s not forgotten

[silent finch]

please use normal support channel and not v2 components

[torpid cargo]

I was able to get it to work sometimes. When that didn't work, I'd use Restore instead. But then sometimes Restore won't work and Quick Edit will.

[small bane]

discussed this in #1410608979209490573. restore not working is probably the same root issue because it resolves messages the same way

[torpid cargo]

Oh yeah, good stuff

[small bane]

now live:

• fixed issue where non-bot webhooks couldn't send CV2 messages in flows (#1354216628488765450 message)
• added gif conversion buttons to media gallery items and thumbnails (#1354216628488765450 message)
• fixed some forum thread messages not being editable with quick edit (#1354216628488765450 message, not CV2 specific but brought up in this channel)
• added a way to choose between standard and CV2 when adding a new message

[gloomy girder]

does this include the fix for missing custom ids? i haven't had a chance to test yet

[small bane]

no i haven't got to work on that yet

[hollow crown]

How do i send the message to my discord sever in the new layout

[elder valve]

just like u do normally?

or are u talking abt discohook.app instead of .org when u mean „new“

[hollow crown]

im talking about discohook.app

[elder valve]

there is an „add webhook“ button at the top

[hollow crown]

i have

[elder valve]

have u added a webhook?

[hollow crown]

yes

[elder valve]

then there should be a „send“ button

[hollow crown]

nope i can't see that button

[elder valve]

do you see an edit button

[hollow crown]

yes i do

[elder valve]

then u did the steps to edit a message or loaded an existing message into the editor

scroll down —> set link —> remove message link

[hollow crown]

it has worked as i clicked the edit button and thank you

[tardy raft]

After the update, Content components just stopped allowing you to scroll through the text. This applies to adding emojis or any panel that has a list.

[small bane]

No I can still do that

Try another browser

[tardy raft]

Ah, That fixed it. Ig its just my browser

[undone meteor]

Idk, but I guess I found a bug
when I add a Row with 5 link buttons, sending it shows an error message saying: "The requested entity is too large"
sometime it sends, sometime doesnt

[cloud gulch]

have these been rolled out ?

how do i use them ?

[obtuse gate]

yh

this

[tame rose]

how to use CV2 in discohook.app?

oh wait nvm it worked

[unkempt kernel]

Not a bug

Discord itself only allows you to have 5 buttons per action row

ah wait and if it's strictly 5

then you might need to check the URL you are inputting

Discord also has a limit for how long those URLs can be

[undone meteor]

I tried with discord.builders and another one and it worked... The discohook also works sometimes, but most it breaks , even when I delete the components letting only a text, it shows the same error... The links Im using are for social medias, they're not long

[unkempt kernel]

how long is the text?

a message has a global character limit, I can't recall exactly if it's 4k but yeah

[obtuse gate]

text limits are 4k im pertty sure

[undone meteor]

Not more than 2 lines

Each

[supple temple]

when will the v2 be out of beta?

[waxen herald]

when it's done

[formal river]

getting a new issue when sending a components v2 message, using a select menu says the interaction didn't respond, any fixes?

[tardy raft]

Just wait for a bit and try again

[hard hazel]

In the preview sections aren't responsive and are being cut off

[idle sun]

I wonder if modal implementation is being concepted into discohook anytime soon
-# Would help me a ton thats for sure

[obtuse gate]

what’s that

[idle sun]

think a built in form system

[obtuse gate]

oh yeah but we dont even have forms yet

[hard hazel]

You should allow setting #000000 in containers
It actually works in discord instead of acting like a default value in embeds

[hard hazel]

check my bio for a bot that lets you create forms with a similar experience to discohook

(shay lmk if you don't like me plugging this, not sure how you interpret the advertising rule)

[idle sun]

very kind of you, but i was mainly planning a way so it works 1:1 through my embeds since my systems work a bit too complex

[small bane]

it's fine when relevant/prompted

[small bane]

interesting

[small bane]

heard thanks

[obtuse gate]

like where it makes the bar invisible?

or where it makes it black

anyway we need modalssss

[hard hazel]

In containers #000000 makes the bar black

[obtuse gate]

ohh

yeah i would never know cuz it always defaults back to the non-color bar thing

[small bane]

now live:

• containers can have an accent color of #000 (@hard hazel)
• text display component no longer overflows horizontally (@hard hazel)
• button accessories are now assigned custom IDs on creation (@gloomy girder)

[hard hazel]

when buttons wrap in the preview there is no gap
sorry for finding another bug so quickly :^)

[small bane]

that used to be accurate lol

[hard hazel]

also why was I able to add 7 buttons (isn't 5 the limit?)

[small bane]

i noticed they added the vgap back but havent adjusted it yet

[small bane]

weird

yeah its 5

[hard hazel]

I duplicated the buttons

maybe thats how it happend

actually I think I just spammed duplicate before the client was able to hide the duplicate button
kind of a lag issue

if you press it slowly you can only get to five as intended

[small bane]

oh thats helpful

race conditions :)

oh actually i already have a prevention measure for that

where exactly did you encounter this

Component-based messages/components V2

[hard hazel]

duplicating buttons in a components v1 message actually

but it also happens in v2

my highscore is 12 buttons lol

[small bane]

lol

yeah wild. happens for me too, idk why my little block isnt working

will try to fix

[hard hazel]

why not check the number of buttons onClick instead of relying on the button actually being hidden in time

[small bane]

because i thought my method was reliable lol

but yeah i should just check the actual length

like, the callback would just check getRowWidth(row) >= MAX_ACTION_ROW_WIDTH which is the same function used to hide the button

so logically it doesn't make sense to check twice

[hard hazel]

also idk if you support errors for the json editor, but that also doesn't show an error if you have too many buttons

[small bane]

my schemas for discord stuff generally dont have max lengths hardcoded i think

[ivory basalt]

i noticed that the code generator option does not work, but the json editor works

[small bane]

it doesn't support cv2

yet

[ivory basalt]

ah i see, thank you!

[ivory basalt]

links with .png do not register

adding a file manually gives me an error

[elder valve]

https://imgur.com/a/Ct8pH5z.png

[elder valve]

ur link is just invalid

[slender glen]

use the image link, not the album link

[obtuse gate]

have u clicked the link lol

[ivory basalt]

yeah i figured it out, thank you

[misty heath]

I get this error after getting told to make a flow for the button even though it already had a flow (the original message was edited).

Seems to only occur on messages that were edited.

This error was shown at the top of the component-only editor

[obtuse gate]

did you add anything other than a button

[misty heath]

No, it's basically a container, text, dividers, and one button with a flow

[obtuse gate]

it’s an error when sending right ?

can u give the error thing (click on the octagon) or hexagon idk what it is when you send it

[misty heath]

No, an error when editing

[misty heath]

there's no such thing in the component editor

sorry for the late reply, I didn't notice the message

[stable ridge]

I love this feature

[random tartan]

hi! i was wondering whether the image limit is set by discohook or by discord itself. i’d like to upload more than five images in a single container

[random tartan]

@small bane sorry for the ping but i think only you would know the answer to this

[stray glade]

Not sure where you got the five from. There is no image limit per container, but you can only upload 10 attachments per message.

[random tartan]

i’m taking about the beta v2 component version

didn’t allow me to upload more than 5

[hard hazel]

Maybe you already had 5 other files outside of the container?

[random tartan]

nope

only one container and everything is in it

the button that lets you choose files looks disabled after you hit 5

[elder valve]

sounds like a discohook limit. adding images via files just hits the discord limit quite quickly

[random tartan]

so it wouldn’t be a problem with url?

[elder valve]

u can try that

I personally never encountered any issues with urls

[hard hazel]

You might have hit the max limit of components (40)

[random tartan]

and the maximum limit with urls is 10?

[random tartan]

i highly doubt that

[hard hazel]

the maximum limit is 10 per media gallery

and the maximum amount of urls (or unfurled media items) is 40 I believe

[elder valve]

I think it‘s just my non-technical opinion, but imo, the fact the message is „made“ out of components is so confusing

[hard hazel]

media items are also components by the way so they count towards the 40 component limit

[hard hazel]

discord designed the system for technical users, that might be why you feel that way

but there is notion for example (which isn't necessarily for technical users)
it's a document editor where everything is made out of components

they call it blocks

[small bane]

Not to rebut like this but are you sure? Media items don’t have component types and galleries don’t use the “components” namesake for their children. Seems like a weird design choice or bug if that’s the case

[hard hazel]

Not 100% sure anymore but while testing I did once get an error looking something like this:

MAX_UNFURLED_MEDIA_ITEMS (40)

but if it counts towards the 40 component limit I'm not fully sure

[small bane]

Like others stated you should check the files section in the editor to make sure there’s no residual files. Discord only allows 10 files per message. Discohook only sets message limits according to what discord allows

[hard hazel]

I don't know if you know this, but I assume urls are also "unfurled media items"

*urls in media galleries

[small bane]

Yeah they both go in the same type of object in items

[small bane]

Oh a separate limit

That would be interesting

I’ll remind myself to try that out

[hard hazel]

I just tried, media items counting as components was a wrong statement

but yeah this is the error on max unfurled media items

{
  "message": "Invalid Form Body",
  "code": 50035,
  "errors": {
    "components": {
      "_errors": [
        {
          "code": "COMPONENT_MAX_UNFURLED_MEDIA_ITEMS_EXCEEDED",
          "message": "Total number of UnfurledMedia items cannot exceed 40"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

https://discohook.app/?share=wCQNi0Gr

oh by the way discohook shouldn't be rendering svgs in media galleries

ends up looking like this in discord

[small bane]

Not much I can do about that unless I do an in browser media proxy

Discohook has always displayed whatever url is in an image slot because it might just return an image

Especially for some websites that have special cases for discord

Well for files yeah I should check. I guess I just do image/*

[small bane]

Fascinating

[hard hazel]

after testing different file types this is what I use in my bot to determine if something can be shown in a media gallery

[
  'image/png',
  'image/jpeg',
  'image/avif',
  'image/gif',
  'image/webp',
  'video/mp4',
  'video/webm',
  'video/quicktime'
]

not guaranteed to be complete though since it's not documented

[random tartan]

sorry but what’s an unfurled media item

[hard hazel]

Both attachments and any rendered urls

if you would just include the url in the message content that wouldn't be an unfurled media item
but once you include it in a media gallery or a file component it would be

and I assume embed images would also count (but not sure)

[random tartan]

ok so i could add the picture using url

beyond the 5 limit

[hard hazel]

no, the opposite it both counts the same

and there is no 5 limit, check if there are unused attachments in your message that might be filling up slots

[gloomy narwhal]

errr, whats this mean

[hard hazel]

The same id can't be set on two different components

[elder valve]

https://discord.com/channels/668218342779256857/1422681083845148702

discussed briefly in #1354216628488765450 and i think it's better if it stays there

would love to see where? cuz I really don‘t know

[small bane]

Anthony brought it up I think

It was just mentioned as an issue and I acknowledged it

[small bane]

#1354216628488765450 message nvm not anthony

[elder valve]

ah okay, good to know then

[random tartan]

does the beta version have discord.js convertion

[random tartan]

or uh are there any plans to add it @small bane

[small bane]

yeah

it's not ready yet

[random tartan]

i get that asking for an eta won’t always result in a 100% answer, but do you think it might be added before oct 25th?

[small bane]

What’s October 25th

[rich chasm]

what's an october

[half wedge]

my birthday

dont forget it

[tardy raft]

YOUR BIRTHDAY IS COMING SOON?

-# happy early bday

-# this is off-topic 😭

[random tartan]

just a general date i had in mind, would it be possible that it arrives before then?

[small bane]

seems pretty specific

do you need it by october 25th?

[random tartan]

yes 😭

[obtuse gate]

wait why do you need it?

[random tartan]

wanna update our server design on the 25th and i want the messages sent by our bot

[obtuse gate]

what are you sending,

?

[random tartan]

embeds...? (using components v2)

idk what you meant by that

[idle urchin]

messages sent by our bot
change the name and avatar of the webhook to be the same as your bot? you don't have to change the actual webhook in server settings for that

[random tartan]

well that will be a webhook not our bot

[idle urchin]

yea but like u can edit webhook messages later on and stuff.. forgive me for asking but doesnt this seem over-complicated

unless you really want the cv2 message(s) to be sent by your bot, then 🤷

[random tartan]

i know that but i want the bot name to have the color you know 😭

it would look more aesthetically pleasing idk if that makes sense

[idle urchin]

ahh, so it's mainly about the role/colored name for consistency/aesthetic purposes. fair enough

[random tartan]

yes correct

[small bane]

You could just copy the json and send it manually if it’s just a one off like that

[obtuse gate]

how r u gona use discohook for this im confused 😭

[random tartan]

update: made a slash command that works with the json :P

[idle urchin]

wait lowkey this could be a pretty good feature to add for @river perch , with additional parameters like the webhook url/name

[hard hazel]

If there is only one line of text in a section, and there is enough space that the line doesn't break then discord centres the text with button accessories

discord:

discohook:

[small bane]

🙃 thanks

[hard hazel]

Another issue: Duplicating components doesn't generate new custom ids for the component. This leads to a COMPONENT_CUSTOM_ID_DUPLICATED error when trying to send.

Not always, I ran into this issue specifically when duplicating sections that contained button accessories

[small bane]

hm i thought i fixed that

accessories are really weird

[unkempt kernel]

lol

[stone rune]

works great

[elder valve]

I think I saw someone mentioning it already, but when duplicating any component it retains the same ID causing an error when sending

[grand musk]

Hi!
Just a few things I noticed when using galleries

• Reloading the page or backup will no longer have the image appear in the preview. This means I have to manually reselect the file in the gallery every time I open up the backup in order for the message to work/send
• Trying to send a gallery message using a button will not work.

[grand musk]

So I was trying to work around not using galleries for displaying my images, and I found that even uploading the images into a regular message will not send when pressing the button component.

[obtuse gate]

use image links, discohook data links dont store images im pretty sure, and shay said backups dont store images (image files)

Buttons also wont send images in backups since you used a file and they dont get stored in backups

[grand musk]

Got it, thank you!

[slim barn]

The editor locks out changing target thread info once a post has been made, however that also means you can't edit the post if its the first message of a thread since you can't set the target.

‎

‎

[slim barn]

I used the dev console to remove the disabled tag from the field and editing worked normally after that

[obtuse gate]

Is discohook utils in your server

also you need to provide the thread ID, not the name

[slim barn]

Not the one I did this in

[obtuse gate]

That’s why

[slim barn]

I provided a name for the first posting as thats required for making a new thread

However to edit it wants the thread id, which the editor prevents you putting in after the fact

[obtuse gate]

yea

name = only for new thread making
id = doesnt require name

just put the id and it should work

[slim barn]

yes but it locks the fields so you can't change them

[obtuse gate]

Only put the ID

[slim barn]

can't

[obtuse gate]

ohh

wait

are you editing a message?

if you are it automatically will update the message and no need for id or name

[slim barn]

tried that as well

[obtuse gate]

its the same webhook right

[slim barn]

it gives an error asking for the thread id

[obtuse gate]

^^

[slim barn]

and yes same webhook

[obtuse gate]

click this button

what does it show

[slim barn]

though i had to reprovide the url

[obtuse gate]

^

[slim barn]

not available anymore, this was a temp thread for testing stuff and its since been deleted

[obtuse gate]

ok

wait so if im correct its this that youve tried

Empty Thread ID.
Empty Name
Same webhook
A message URl to edit the message

[slim barn]

Mate the bug I'm reporting is after creating the post, the editor locks the thread fields so they can't be updated anymore

[obtuse gate]

so is this correct or not?

or was it correct

[slim barn]

it is not because its irrelevant

[obtuse gate]

its not. if those are the settings it will work.

[slim barn]

the fields can't be changed, the correct settings don't matter since they can't be selected

[obtuse gate]

the thread id isnt locked

[small bane]

the intended behavior here is that you can only input one or the other since the fields are mutually exclusive. are you saying the editor has disabled both the thread name and thread id fields, so you can't remove the name in order to put in an ID?

[slim barn]

yes

[small bane]

this happens right after sending the message or, what's the workflow here?

i assume youve put in the message link manually since the site doesnt do that for you

[slim barn]

both fields have disabled attribute

I created a fresh thread post to a forum type channel with the name field provided

I then changed some text in the editor and try to send it as an edit

and recieved an error about needing a thread id

[obtuse gate]

are u saying you cant put the thread ID

[slim barn]

I can't provide a thread id because the thread name field is filled and can't be changed

[obtuse gate]

yes or no

[slim barn]

pls see no access cursor

[obtuse gate]

Ur on the name

[small bane]

shlok thank you but i got it

[obtuse gate]

ok

[slim barn]

‎

from the dev console I can manually unlock the field in html and and provide an id

and then things work normally from there

[obtuse gate]

oh yea it doesnt for me either

hm

[small bane]

on the old site for a short period we had a feature where the editor would put in the appropriate editing details after you sent a message but a whole lot of people were really confused by that so we removed that. have thought about maybe a button to do that manually right after sending since also not everyone understands the need for a message link and thread ID.

per your issue, it sounds like it would be resolved if you removed the thread name before you set the message link at the bottom. discohook disables the thread name field unconditionally when you are in "edit mode" but of course there is a bit of an oversight in that you could already have data there leading to the other input being disabled too. i don't really like the idea of deleting it automatically when you add a message link so maybe i could detect this explicitly and have a button on the input to remove it. thanks for the report

[obtuse gate]

but then it works when i manually unlock it and provide the thread id

[obtuse gate]

like where the editor would automatically add the id?

[slim barn]

As a note, for my test case, this was a manually created webhook on discord and was imported to the editor as a webhook link

[small bane]

yeah it used to set the message link immediately after you sent a message and people were like where did the send button go??

[slim barn]

The server I posted this too doesn't appear in the editors selection list

[obtuse gate]

like immediately after u send a msg in a thread it would auto add the link?
i was gona say when you add the link it would automatically add the id

[slim barn]

I think because this server I only have webhook perms for a single channel

[small bane]

yeah it checks server permissions as provided by discord

would take too long to calculate channel permissions

[small bane]

yes

[obtuse gate]

see edit ig

[small bane]

there was no thread functionality back then but same effect

[slim barn]

figured

[obtuse gate]

yea add the id automatically because currently it doesnt work without it, and if you remove the link to edit the message and add the id, it just makes a new thread

i think wait

nvm

dont mind the whole msg

but yea autoadd the id since it wont work wo it

[small bane]

this will be patched in the next update. what i resolved to do was keep the thread name enabled whenever there is a value, so you will still be forced to remove the thread name before adding a thread ID (since they are mutually exclusive), but you will actually be able to do so despite there being a message link set

[storm sundial]

Hi, is there a way to current silent/disable pings in components v2?
There were some forums discussing it was possible, I'm sure you know already though.

Could we see a check option anytime soon to have mentioned enabled or disabled in v2, while creating the new container based embeds.

[slender glen]

Options -> Allowed Mentions

[storm sundial]

Oh so just leave all the options unchecked?

[slender glen]

Pretty sure, yeah. Just have to turn on "Control mentions in this message"

[slim barn]

Is there a limit on how many images can be embedded in a container?

[small bane]

I think they have a limit of 40 media items but would have to confirm

That would be for the whole message

[small bane]

This

A media item in this case should be any gallery item or thumbnail

[dreamy crest]

The select menu in beta mode works sucks, it only let me use 1 option (the others doesn't work when I click on them) and it works when I press on it 5 times!

This is really annoying

And it asks me: 1. no content , 2. no content , 3. random. and Idk what to do

[elder valve]

idk what to do = system sucks

[tardy raft]

cry

I never said that..

I said it doens't work

If you set a buttons emoji to ©️ you get the error BUTTON_COMPONENT_INVALID_EMOJI

if you paste "©" into the json editor it works though

kinda weird, I don't even get why there are multiple versions of this emoji

[obtuse gate]

©️ ©

oh yh

[small bane]

uh weird

[obtuse gate]

lol

[silent finch]

you should look into this

this happens with more emojis

one guy had this error with this emoji I think 👁️ or mabye htis one 👁‍🗨

[small bane]

Yeah i was planning on it

[wide berry]

And now i'm using it too! 🔥

[loud ivy]

Super dope! I learned how to use it few days ago

The customization is limitless

[wide berry]

Holyy-y!

[loud ivy]

Thank youu!! There's more actually, if only discohook isn't down I could show you a beautiful verification system that has an integrated self-role after clicking verify

Ah, I took a screen record yesterday lol, here it is!

[idle urchin]

really well made🔥

tho wouldn't it be best to create a link button to a thread containing the rules instead, in case the bot goes down? same question for self-roles, why not use discord's onboarding feature?

or is this all personal preference

[loud ivy]

Thanks!

Yeah that's true, this one's just an example, a showcase of what components v2 could do

I love the idea, thanks so much! That indeed is a good solution

looks great, if you customized the profile i'd buy that it was a custom bot lol

[loud ivy]

Lololol thank you thank you

[idle urchin]

ahh i see, really good showcase then! and as mentioned ^, if in case u didn't know; /profile set

[loud ivy]

Oooooooo we can do that? Like instead of showing as discohook we can have custom profile?

lemme tryy

[idle urchin]

correct

name, profile picture, banner, and bio

[loud ivy]

Oh wowwwwwwwww

[idle urchin]

w custom bot lol

[loud ivy]

Thank youuuu!!! There's so much to learn lol

PS. I got timed-out for mentioning shay, I was thanking you and shay 😭

@river perch the best "paid" free app. Wdym all these are free? 😭

[small bane]

timeout was for mentioning multiple people, you can ping me individually (although many people abuse that privilege)

[loud ivy]

Oh, no worries!

[storm sundial]

Looks amazing!
Though how did you place a components v2 as a "hidden message" through the button.

It shows an error on my side for some reason, I thought interactive components were still undergoing some work to make it functional?

[loud ivy]

Thanks! How did you do it? What error message shows?

So to put components inside components is you need a backup for whatever you want to put in.

So: In the button -> choose "send message" action -> choose your saved backup

Make sure to check the "hidden (ephemeral)"

[grand musk]

Hello!
I think it would be really nice to be able to inline content text boxes like how you can do in fields in regular messages.

[idle urchin]

if you mean something like this from embeds, components v2 does not support this
if it's something else, mb

[idle urchin]

probably the closest thing you can do is the (even smaller) header markdown, but you cant do side-by-side inline fields like the img shown above

(Description)
### Item 2-
(Description)```
### Item 1-
(Description)
### Item 2-
(Description)

[grand musk]

thank you!

[winged sage]

No, you can click it

But you can't copy messages like embeds

Shut down that but when someone click that they will instantly redirect to .app

[wide plaza]

Are there any plans to support components v2 for code generator, as both discord.js and discord.py have support for them

[south creek]

you should try https://discord.builders for that

[small bane]

yes

[silent finch]

we should ban any mention of that site I don't like it

[remote solstice]

seems to be a bug?

[north comet]

not really, pretty much says everything in the error

[small bane]

Did you make sure you saved the backup before scheduling

[remote solstice]

yep! it was automatically saved already

[remote solstice]

sorry, what does 'not have any targets' mean then? the webhook's added already

[obsidian roost]

Where do u get those image headers

[silent finch]

downloaded it somewhere

I am pretty good designer

I can design some stuff for you too

not in this style of course

but in mostly any style you want

[obsidian roost]

Ok

[obsidian roost]

I need one for verification but i cant find one

[small bane]

Can you try from the discohook.app/me/backups page

I don’t see any reason why this wouldn’t work properly for cv2

[remote solstice]

yeah i dunno why either
checked again after a few hours and it worked

[loud ivy]

Made it myself with Canva

[silent finch]

please consider using https://www.photopea.com/, canva is really suboptimal

it's like scratch for drawings, it's okay but at some point you want to move to coding than stay on scratch

[loud ivy]

Thanks for the recommendation, but I've been using canva for years for quick edits such as the one I made

I'm fine with "scratches" that I can make in like 20 seconds 😅

[obsidian roost]

Oh can u send that one to me the verification one, i really like it

In dms

[loud ivy]

Ye sure

Can even change color the way you want it

[north comet]

this is quite discohook-unrelated by now

[obsidian roost]

I just want the same color

[silent finch]

true

still wondering why it's not closed

#1184637977901666334

while this one is

[north comet]

because this thread is also used to report cv2 issues and bugs

[silent finch]

people don't really do that here

and it's already added

so why not make cv2 tag in #1225496220496039967

[small bane]

Input on handling the forums is not necessary thanks

I will lock or whatever as I see fit

[obtuse gate]

added ≠ no bugs or issues

[small bane]

i wish

[north comet]

tho I feel like it has been drastically reduced

so happy its there at all, feels like much more freedom than standard messages

[small bane]

As with everything else, user feedback on existing features is very important

[silent finch]

Your right, I totally agree with you

[silent finch]

Read the message below

[obsidian roost]

@small bane allow us to add more buttons in a content rather than just one.

[north comet]

u‘re confusing things

[obsidian roost]

Like in a content on component based messages, we can only add 1 button/link button

[north comet]

nope

[obsidian roost]

We need a new update or smth to add more buttons

[north comet]

u‘re talking about accessory

[obsidian roost]

For me it does that

[obsidian roost]

Ye

[north comet]

well, accessory only allows 1 button / link button

[obsidian roost]

...

Then what do i do

[north comet]

just add a row

[obsidian roost]

Oh

I forgot about that...

Tbh i didnt know rows were in this message type

[north comet]

besides that, shay is not limiting features of messages, everything is how discord allows it

[obsidian roost]

Ok

[misty heath]

Greetings!
I seem to have run into an interesting issue.

When trying to send a component based message with a dropdown menu, which consists of 6 options all doing one action (Send message), the message loses the flow set for all options.

[oblique pollen]

Not a strange issue, currently it is a known bug. Also, this area is for feature requests, not bugs. Head over to #support and you can read what others have done to work around this issue.

[misty heath]

Ah, apologies, but I was under the impression that all issues regarding V2 messages were to be reported here and didn't know that was moved to #support.
Thanks!

[north comet]

and u‘re not totally wrong with that, dont worry

[oblique pollen]

No need to apologize at all. You're trying to help the community, and we are thankful. Just a general rule of thumb is if you're looking for help with a problem, always start in the #support channel. You can do a search to see if anyone else has had a similar issue and if there are any known workarounds. If it turns out to be a new problem, then it would be good to post it here and then submit a New Issue through GitHub so it's logged.

[hard hazel]

just for context: people are being directed here to report bugs on this specific feature

[oblique pollen]

Correct, Feedback. If people are looking for help with bugs or general support while using v2, #support would be appropriate.

[small bane]

this channel is fine for anything related to cv2, but the specific issue in question is not pertinent only to cv2. in the past i have preferred cv2 issues be posted in here for organizational purposes (this thread's scope has outgrown just requests for new features)

[oblique pollen]

Thank you for clarifying.

[trim topaz]

@small bane
Is this a bug? I minimised the containers and the message, and when I opened it, they all expanded. Personally, this really bothers me when working with a large number of containers and components within them.

[silent finch]

Same here

[small bane]

not a bug per se since it's expected behavior but i do want to change it

have discussed that briefly before in this channel

[oblique pollen]

shay, did your most recent server maintenance include anything for the known bugs in flow states not saving?

I ask because so far today, fixing some of the previous flow issues, they seem to be saving accurately, for the most part.

[small bane]

i'm glad to hear that. i addressed that in part in my newest comment on 56 https://github.com/discohook/discohook/issues/56#issuecomment-3939475709

now i'm trying to work something out for the hypothesis i conjured there

[oblique pollen]

Thank you. I am apparently not paying as much attention to the #1225496220496039967 channel as I should be. I don't believe I have run into #56 other than when it was due to flow issues. I am currently working through all of my backups now, so if I do see this I will let you know.

[oblique pollen]

What are you bumping? This conversation has been very active.

Shay. I have completed roughly a dozen of my old backups so far. Upon further testing, maybe 1 out of 10 times a component flow state still gets erased upon reload. Definitely much better so far.

[half wedge]

-# it´s a joke

-# 🥀

[small bane]

So what specifically does it say when you use the button?

[oblique pollen]

"No data could be found for this component. It may have been deleted..."

[small bane]

thanks

to be clear do you see that component on your server page? in the components tab for the message

even though it's saying that it wasn't found

[oblique pollen]

At this point I won't be able to tell you. After repeatedly reloading the page and pasting in the completed JSON data, I was able to get it to work.

[small bane]

well next time you encounter that, don't make any more changes and just go to your components page to see if it's there. part of my theory for what's going on

if you would

[oblique pollen]

Absolutely. I have plenty more I need to reconfigure.

What was weird, at least I thought so, was that it didn't happen to the last button, but one in between. When this happened prior to your update, if it didn't save a flow, it didn't save any of the flows after either. This time, it kept the last button without any problems.

I hope that makes sense.

[small bane]

i'm not totally sure what you mean but it sounds like an improvement

[oblique pollen]

So, using that image I posted above, I have multiple buttons that will each require a flow. Prior to your recent update, if the film icon button lost its flow during reload, it was almost a guarantee that every button I fixed after that one would also be cleared. Now, it was selective and only cleared the single button, and everything I did after that button was fine.

So, yes, it is definitely an improvement, but I also thought it was worth mentioning, just in case.

[small bane]

i think a screen recording of this whole process for fixing a message would be really helpful if you're able

especially including what happens and what you do when one 'loses its flow'

wish i had a debug mode on the site but might not be necessary. actually if what you're doing involves actual page refreshes (?) then could you also compare the before & after json editor data? if youre screen recording then just opening them on the video would be fine

[small bane]

well, the three respondents to the form so far have indicated that their component is completely gone, not just mismatched. which does make more sense, but that means i can't implement a recovery tactic

[silent finch]

Hmm

Question

Why is it so hard to save your flows?

The flow is in the json, so can't you just save the jsons?

[small bane]

that's what i do lol

i used to not do that, but i changed it to "just save the json" because it's simpler. but this issue in particular doesn't have anything to do with flows

[small bane]

partial comment from a form submission a few minutes ago:

As far as i have on "components", the only constant that appears are link-buttons
which is actually really interesting. implies that it's not just components, but specifically interactive components. makes sense given how much extra logic there is with interactive components in general

but what it also tells me is that it probably isn't an issue with my draft component cleaner as i suspected

[idle sun]

That'd be from me

I wish i could give more intel, but there really isnt much more from our side as clients (ina way).

Im starting to point a finger at discord itself, as one of the other servers i was administering on friday didnt have this error when i came to check up on it, but today it now does slightly before your update was published so i doubt its fully your end. Redoing all the buttons and systems has it fine now, but id say 90% of my webhooks based on app-buttons come to the same "moderated deleted/'No data could be found for this component' " sub-note.

While backups load fine —at the cost of all button flows deleted every time
-# Although similarly enough, Linked buttons retain their data

im suprised not many have noted my example, but, id know a thing or two about testers just not reporting things as they come across ( game dev )

[small bane]

While backups load fine —at the cost of all button flows deleted every time
can you elaborate on this? not sure what you're describing

[idle sun]

There have been a couple occasions where my backups will randomly delete their original flow interfaces, resulting in the same error. Though its a bit unpredictable to really make a report on

It wouldnt be a corrupted file since everything else (embeds, link buttons, images) stores fine, and downloaded backups dont make a difference, neither does saving the json txt directly (sometimes, but not usually)

Its quite puzzling

[small bane]

what do you mean by "backups" here? backups for storing messages don't have flows linked to them per se

[idle sun]

just the import, export, and general managed backups from the main editor

I wouldnt know how you have things laid out backend, though seeing discohook.app/s/components is probably where flows are put now that its pointed out by the form.

Sometimes everything in the editor loads fine, other —unpredictable— times, buttons/dropdowns flows erase everything back down to Do nothing action alone. Without ever being touched for months

I will say ones that end up that way, also have the "No data could be found for this component" error. So it may be linked

[small bane]

ok, that's pretty consistent with what i've seen other people say about this. i don't think it's the backup "losing" the buttons/flows necessarily, but for some reason something else is causing them to be deleted externally, and the IDs stored in the backup no longer refer to a real component.

one option could be to store the actual flow data in the backup instead of a reference to it. this would let you see the flow in the editor (since it is a duplicate), but i don't think it would actually resolve the issue because, if i'm not mistaken, you can see this message before you load the backup and do anything to the message, correct?

[idle sun]

Yeah, as far as i can see in some how in some way, button pressed -> bot interactions get lost in the inbetween and the components page

however, having access to the buttons original flow would boost peoples temporary fixes (by editing messages). Similar to how i sometimes fix it by copy-pasting a saved json, Not a full fix, but i see it as a useful temporary

[sacred agate]

When will this be fixed? @small bane I've been waiting 2+ months, still can't make the embeds for my server.

I never pressure anyone, I'm not that kind of person. But please focus on fixing that specific issue.

[silent finch]

?

No issue there

You should maybe describe your issue before you ask someone to fix it

[idle urchin]

currently making and editing cv2 messages, all is working fine

[silent finch]

Exactly

[idle urchin]

> "focus on fixing that specific issue"
> doesn't specify what issue like we're mind readers or something lol

[hard hazel]

it's probably this issue
https://github.com/discohook/discohook/issues/56
it's being actively worked on

[sacred agate]

oh so it works?

[north comet]

„it works“ is quite hard to say, u still haven‘t specifief

[sacred agate]

Basically, if you make a component-based message and put interactive components inside, they won't work in discord when you send it

Sorry for not specifying, my bad

[oblique pollen]

Honestly, this is still pretty vague. Can you answer any of these questions?

• What types of components, buttons or dropdown menus?
• What happens after you send it?
  • Flow(s) get cleared?
  • Simple flows affected, or just elaborate ones?
  • Like a STOP action with a basic message, sending a backup message, or a CHECK action.
• What message do you get when something does fail?

[sacred agate]

Buttons and drop-down menus.
After I send it, they just don't work. They are visible but when you click on an option in the drop-down it doesn't work, normal buttons don't work as well.
I don't get any message(s) when something does fail.

[brave cape]

does anyone know why discohook randomly removes all flows from saved messages and breaks all buttons/select menus every once and a while? it is very frustrating as you then have to go through the menus to reset all the flows.

[oblique pollen]

You receive absolutely no message when you press a button or select an item from a dropdown?

Can you give examples of your flow for a button and for a dropdown?

[oblique pollen]

If you did a search in this server you would find this problem is actively being discussed and worked on.

[eternal plank]

When using a button thats linked to a webhook-message the other webhook just wont send it to the set channel when i press it, is this still buggy or im i doign smth wrong

[boreal bone]

Same

[hard hazel]

No matter how short, each word in the button label is on it's own line

only happens for accessory buttons

[wise berry]

how on god's earth did u get the accessory bit, only shows this

[north comet]

its a components based message

add message

components based message

add content

[wise berry]

OMW, tysm

[oblique pollen]

Did you actually send this to Discord to see if the button is still deformed? There are a few CSS style traits on the editor that don't truly mimic Discord.

[hard hazel]

it's meant as a bug report to discohook

[oblique pollen]

The question still stands though. Is this just a bug in the CSS coding for Discohook, or does this also look deformed in Discord? In my opinion, this could help shay determine if he wants to try and fix the CSS issue, or simply include some sort of disclaimer stating Discord may not display it properly.

[hard hazel]

tbh I haven't tested it in discord because I would not expect them to just accept such an atrocious deformation lol

there you go this is how it looks in discord

[oblique pollen]

So it's just a CSS issue with Discohook.

Thank you.

[hard hazel]

the discohook bug is only happening with link buttons by the way

[small bane]

Useful debug thanks, probably due to the icon cramping the flex box

What was that other thing with sections

#1354216628488765450 message lol

Gonna have to look at how they do that for single line text

[oblique pollen]

Probably just using flexbox.

[small bane]

But it has to not be centered with more than one line, the accessory appears at the top right of the section

Maybe it’s just a margin

[oblique pollen]

I haven't used Accessory buttons simply for the alignment issue.

Touche.

[small bane]

You haven’t used them because discohook displays it slightly wrong?

[oblique pollen]

No, because Discord does.

Just looks weird to me. lol

[small bane]

Oh

[oblique pollen]

I am going to try and get you a video of the component/flow issues we talked about last month. Life has been a bit busy to take the time needed.

[wise berry]

pretty good but some buttons dont work so please try to fix it and thanks for making it

[north comet]

what for example?

[wise berry]

so like whenever i try to press a button (inside of a container) it just doesnt bring anything up and i have made sure that it has a flow which brings up a hidden message

[oblique pollen]

@small bane last we talked about the vanishing flows, you mentioned to check the components page on the Discohook site.

Today, I logged in to find that all of my flows had once again vanished. It has been roughly 20ish days since they last vanished. I fixed the flows for the buttons on one of my messages, sent it, but still the buttons did not work. I went to the components page, but nothing is there except a bunch of really old components that I have not had for close to a year, except one.

I will not try to change anything else until you can walk me through what you'd like me to check/do. Just tag me when you are available, and I will try to jump on.

[silent finch]

Isn't this a problem in general, not just with Cv2

[oblique pollen]

Possible that it is currently. When it first started, I only noticed it happening with my Cv2 messages.

[small bane]

thanks for the update. if you could do like alchemistie did and record a video going through your whole setup process, that would be great (you dont have to mimic their process, however you personally do it would actually be better). you seemed to [indicate](#1354216628488765450 message) that sometimes this issue would happen while you were editing, so capturing that on video would be helpful if possible, i think

[oblique pollen]

At this point, I was able to get one of my messages to start working, but the others are still having issues. Here is a video where I paste the JSON from when it was working. You'll be able to see where the flows are empty, then filled, and then I save the file. Once I send it to Discord the flows do not work, and when I refresh Discohook, the flows are wiped.

[small bane]

thanks, this is an interesting look at how you do it. it seems to me that in this specific example you are using buttons that you did not actually manually save in the UI (at 1:49 you save GhostFlashing, but then after you send the message, you only use the d20 button), therefore discohook never assigns new IDs to the components and saves them. this is not a failing on your part (discohook should auto save these; I must be missing some logic for CV2 messages), but i think that's why you are seeing this behavior in this video.
today i realized that my components from my experiment with alchemistie had been deleted pretty much exactly 2 weeks after i created them. i wrote more about that in the comments: https://github.com/discohook/discohook/issues/56#issuecomment-4084173253

[oblique pollen]

This definitely happens no matter how I create the buttons. I manually created and saved each button flow, then after doing so roughly 10 times, I just started saving the JSON script for my messages because I got tired of creating each message and button, and their corresponding flows, over and over. If you need me to create a video of manually doing all of it, I will.

[boreal bone]

Is CV2 button fixed yet?

[oblique pollen]

The answer to your question is literally above your message...

[boreal bone]

mb but dang :/

[boreal bone]

Still not working?

[oblique pollen]

Have you tried?

[boreal bone]

I wont be trying each day to see if it’s fix or nah i started looking for something else that is able to use CV2

[small bane]

https://github.com/discohook/discohook/issues/56#issuecomment-4181226613

[idle urchin]

it's a great day to be alive

not sure if necessary but maybe a small note that said change is in testing in case any users encounter bugs or something

[small bane]

the only side effects i can think of would not be user-facing

but if something pops up i'll see if it turns out to be linked

can anyone confirm whether this was also happening with regularity on non-cv2 messages? i.e. 2 weeks after creation as observed above

[half wedge]

I had a similar problem a long time ago. When you create complex flows on a server full of complex flows, they start to either mix together or get deleted

I hope my stupid ahh English don't make u feel weird while reading it
