Yeah i am using discord.py

#

How to fix it

tired tide Aug 17, 2022, 2:18 PM

?tag message-content

indigo horizonBOT Aug 17, 2022, 2:42 PM

#

As of Pycord Beta 5, Discord API v10 requires message content intent to receive message content. This affects the traditional commands. Not enabling this intent will result in the messages' content, embeds, and components being empty.

You will need to enable the intent on the developer portal, as well as in your code:

intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.message_content = True
bot = discord.Bot(intents=intents)

shell abyss ?tag message-content

But I have already builded a code

#

and it have 2000 lines

#

what to do now

#

My bot commands doesn t work

#

only bot is online

#

Bot is online, but nothing works: commands, changing status etc. what to do?

#

@north salmon what to do now

#

my whole bot commands do not work after doing what you gyus said

north salmon Aug 17, 2022, 3:14 PM

#

Did you turn on the message_content intent?

balmy cargo Aug 17, 2022, 3:15 PM

#

this? if so, yes

north salmon Aug 17, 2022, 3:15 PM

#

Yeah

balmy cargo Aug 17, 2022, 3:15 PM

#

still do not work

#

No error

north salmon Aug 17, 2022, 3:15 PM

#

Is the bot turning on?

balmy cargo Aug 17, 2022, 3:15 PM

#

Yeah he is online

#

oh, now he isnt

north salmon Aug 17, 2022, 3:16 PM

#

Are there any errors?

balmy cargo Aug 17, 2022, 3:16 PM

#

He si offline and no errors

#

north salmon Aug 17, 2022, 3:16 PM

#

Is the message content intent turned on in the dev portal?

#

By the way, could you send you main.py file

balmy cargo Aug 17, 2022, 3:17 PM

#

this?

#

north salmon Aug 17, 2022, 3:17 PM

#

Yeah

balmy cargo Aug 17, 2022, 3:17 PM

#

and what to do with it? i cannot turn it on

north salmon Aug 17, 2022, 3:18 PM

#

Oh

balmy cargo Aug 17, 2022, 3:18 PM

#

or can I

#

oh I need to apply for that

north salmon Aug 17, 2022, 3:18 PM

#

Yeah you're gonna need that if you want to use prefixed commands

balmy cargo Aug 17, 2022, 3:18 PM

#

it wasn t like that?

north salmon Aug 17, 2022, 3:18 PM

#

I don't think Discord gives it just for prefixed commands though

north salmon Aug 17, 2022, 3:18 PM

#

balmy cargo it wasn t like that?

Yeah discord changed some stuff

balmy cargo Aug 17, 2022, 3:18 PM

#

yeah I made that bot 2 years ago

#

I do not remember a lot of things and they changed a things

#

so I need to apply for it?

north salmon Aug 17, 2022, 3:19 PM

#

Yeah

#

or migrate to slash commands

#

But for now, do this:

discord.http.API_VERSION = 9

#

that should allow you to use prefixed commands

balmy cargo Aug 17, 2022, 3:19 PM

#

north salmon or migrate to slash commands

Okay, tell me how i do not know what that even is

north salmon Aug 17, 2022, 3:20 PM

#

It's stuff like this:

#

They're built into Discord

balmy cargo Aug 17, 2022, 3:20 PM

#

ohh, never seen that that s cool

north salmon Aug 17, 2022, 3:20 PM

#

north salmon But for now, do this: ``` discord.http.API_VERSION = 9 ```

But this should be the fix

#

Add it above where you create your bot object

balmy cargo Aug 17, 2022, 3:20 PM

#

Okay, where to put it? replace with message intent = true...?

north salmon Aug 17, 2022, 3:21 PM

#

Yeah

#

Just replace it with that

balmy cargo Aug 17, 2022, 3:21 PM

#

#

like that? right

north salmon Aug 17, 2022, 3:21 PM

#

Yeah

balmy cargo Aug 17, 2022, 3:22 PM

#

Okay now it works

#

north salmon Aug 17, 2022, 3:22 PM

#

You're welcome

balmy cargo Aug 17, 2022, 3:22 PM

#

So now after fixing everything I need to finally do what I created this help post for

#

upgraded help with buttons that did not worked

#

Okay now working

north salmon Aug 17, 2022, 3:22 PM

#

I would recommend migrating to slash commands, which is included in https://guide.pycord.dev, because Discord won't give you the message content intent for prefixed commands

balmy cargo Aug 17, 2022, 3:22 PM

#

north salmon Aug 17, 2022, 3:23 PM

#

Nice

balmy cargo Aug 17, 2022, 3:23 PM

#

north salmon I would recommend migrating to slash commands, which is included in https://guid...

Yeah I will somehow do it you know what I mean

#

😎

balmy cargo Aug 17, 2022, 3:23 PM

#

north salmon Nice

So now everything should work like in docs? right nothing else needed to funcional buttons commands

north salmon Aug 17, 2022, 3:37 PM

#

Yeah all you need is pycord

balmy cargo Aug 17, 2022, 3:38 PM

#

okay

balmy cargo Aug 17, 2022, 4:16 PM

#

#

@north salmon Can you help me again with this one pelase

#

I do not know where is problem

north salmon Aug 17, 2022, 4:17 PM

#

balmy cargo

You can't set button.disabled=True within the button constructor, you have to use disabled=True instead

balmy cargo Aug 17, 2022, 4:18 PM

#

oh, tahnk you so much :D

north salmon Aug 17, 2022, 4:18 PM

#

You're welcome

@north salmon sorry for pinging but I need help, I cannot find anywhere. How to make pages through buttons for help command

north salmon Aug 17, 2022, 4:21 PM

#

You could use ext.pages

balmy cargo Aug 17, 2022, 4:21 PM

#

Something like dank memer have

#

#

I want to create

north salmon Aug 17, 2022, 4:21 PM

#

yeah ext.pages would work for that

#

An example is available in the guide

@north salmon I do not really understand that docs. How to create pages from this? because I do not know where to put things. that docs are chaos

#

    @discord.ui.button(label="A button", style=discord.ButtonStyle.primary, disabled=True) 
    async def button_callback(self, button, interaction):
        ...




@client.command()
async def button(ctx):
  
  
  button1 = Button(label="⬅ ⬅", style=discord.ButtonStyle.blurple, disabled = True)
  button2 = Button(label="⬅", style=discord.ButtonStyle.blurple, disabled = True)
  button3 = Button(label="➡", style=discord.ButtonStyle.blurple)
  button4 = Button(label="➡ ➡", style=discord.ButtonStyle.blurple)
  view = View()
  view.add_item(button1)
  view.add_item(button2)
  view.add_item(button3)
  view.add_item(button4)
  await ctx.send("1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12", view=view)```

#

How to create pages from this, and buttons that will switch the pages

north salmon Aug 17, 2022, 4:37 PM

#

balmy cargo <@416730155332009984> I do not really understand that docs. How to create pages ...

So the way the paginator works, is that it comes with builtin buttons that you can use

balmy cargo Aug 17, 2022, 4:38 PM

#

So what to do with that code

north salmon Aug 17, 2022, 4:38 PM

#

So you should make a list of pages, which will be displayed by the bot:

page_list = [discord.Embed(...), "some string", "another string"]

#

And then you don't need any of the buttons

#

Since the paginator has its own buttons

#

And then you can do this:

paginator = pages.Paginator(pages=page_list)
await paginator.send(ctx)

#

And that will allow the user to loop through all the pages in the help command

#

If you want to have the select menu, then you can instead do this:

page_group_1 = pages.PageGroup([discord.Embed(...), "something"], label="Help command set 1")
page_group_2 = pages.PageGroup(["some more", discord.Embed(...)], label="Command set 2")
paginator = pages.Paginator([page_group_1, page_group_2])
await paginator.send(ctx)

#

And that should create the select menu as well by default

#

So that's how you could create a select menu help command with buttons

balmy cargo Aug 17, 2022, 4:43 PM

#

thank you

#

so

#

delete this:

#

and replace with paginator

north salmon Aug 17, 2022, 4:44 PM

#

yeah pretty much

balmy cargo Aug 17, 2022, 4:46 PM

#

#

It is giving me error

north salmon Aug 17, 2022, 4:46 PM

#

Yeah, that'll create two different sets of pages that can be switched between using a select menu

north salmon Aug 17, 2022, 4:46 PM

#

balmy cargo It is giving me error

Have you done:

from discord.ext import pages

balmy cargo Aug 17, 2022, 4:47 PM

#

no

north salmon Aug 17, 2022, 4:47 PM

#

Yeah make sure you do that

balmy cargo Aug 17, 2022, 4:47 PM

#

this?

#

north salmon Aug 17, 2022, 4:47 PM

#

Yeah that works as well

balmy cargo Aug 17, 2022, 4:47 PM

#

still do not work

north salmon Aug 17, 2022, 4:48 PM

#

Send the error

balmy cargo Aug 17, 2022, 4:49 PM

#

north salmon Aug 17, 2022, 4:49 PM

#

Oh, you need to do

PageGroup(pages=[...], label="some label")

balmy cargo Aug 17, 2022, 4:50 PM

#

where?

#

istead of this:?

north salmon Aug 17, 2022, 4:51 PM

#

Yeah, just add pages= before the lists

balmy cargo Aug 17, 2022, 4:52 PM

#

?

north salmon Aug 17, 2022, 4:52 PM

#

before [discord.Embed(...), ...] and ["some more", ...]

balmy cargo Aug 17, 2022, 4:54 PM

#

#

like that?

#

Error

#

north salmon Aug 17, 2022, 4:55 PM

#

no, put pages= to the left of the [

balmy cargo Aug 17, 2022, 4:56 PM

#

okay

#

Error again

#

#

So what to do?

#

@north salmon do you know?

north salmon Aug 17, 2022, 5:02 PM

#

What error?

balmy cargo Aug 17, 2022, 5:03 PM

#

north salmon Aug 17, 2022, 5:05 PM

Send the part above that exception

balmy cargo Aug 17, 2022, 5:05 PM

Try to replace your code iwth this:

            pages.PageGroup(
                pages=self.get_pages(),

#

Yeah make sure that you indent it correctly

balmy cargo Aug 17, 2022, 5:12 PM

#

@north salmon What is wrong on this

#

@tired tide Do you knwo how to fix this?

short stirrup Aug 17, 2022, 5:14 PM

#

paginator should have the same indentation as your await paginator.send....

balmy cargo Aug 17, 2022, 5:15 PM

#

So what to do

short stirrup Aug 17, 2022, 5:15 PM

#

Backspace 2 indentation 💀

balmy cargo Aug 17, 2022, 5:15 PM

#

short stirrup Backspace 2 indentation 💀

I still do not udnerstand what to do explain more ☠️

#

☠️

It's basic python 💀

balmy cargo Aug 17, 2022, 5:16 PM

#

I know

#

But still explain

short stirrup Aug 17, 2022, 5:16 PM

#

Just press backspace until that line is correctly above your await paginator.send

balmy cargo Aug 17, 2022, 5:17 PM

#

like taht?

#

or?

#

💀

short stirrup Aug 17, 2022, 5:17 PM

#

Both lines should have same amount of tabs\spaces

balmy cargo Aug 17, 2022, 5:17 PM

#

So what to do bro?

short stirrup Aug 17, 2022, 5:17 PM

#

balmy cargo like taht?

Backspace not space

#

Delete button

balmy cargo Aug 17, 2022, 5:17 PM

#

oh I get it like I get girls, I do not

#

Okay know I really get it

#

like this?

#

short stirrup Aug 17, 2022, 5:18 PM

#

You removed all indentation for both the lines 🥖

#

Press 1 tab

#

At the start

#

Of both of those lines

balmy cargo Aug 17, 2022, 5:19 PM

#

#

like taht?

short stirrup Aug 17, 2022, 5:19 PM

Can you show your code in button

balmy cargo Aug 17, 2022, 5:47 PM

#

pure cove Aug 17, 2022, 5:48 PM

#

you have no self so self.get_pages() isn't going to do anything

tired tide Aug 17, 2022, 5:48 PM

#

Im not sure if its a good idea to call the command "button"

pure cove Aug 17, 2022, 5:48 PM

#

just delete that first page group

#

also this is basic python...

balmy cargo Aug 17, 2022, 5:48 PM

#

tired tide Im not sure if its a good idea to call the command "button"

I am testing it man

balmy cargo Aug 17, 2022, 5:48 PM

pure cove also this is basic python...

I do not think so

pure cove Aug 17, 2022, 5:49 PM

again these are basic python errors

you're trying to use a variable page_buttons that you never defined

So what to do?

#

I am new to pycord and I made last update on my bot 2 years ago
