Basic Pycord Help

[graceful parcel]

it only shows 15 options. out of which, there are 13 channels, and 2 are categories

[rugged lodge]

Searched in pycord

discord.ui.channel_select

[lofty parcel]

I'm sure it.only displays 15 and you can type to search other channels

[arctic plover]

like no

min_values: The minimum number of items that must be chosen for this select menu. Defaults to 1 and must be between 1 and 25.
max_values: The maximum number of items that must be chosen for this select menu. Defaults to 1 and must be between 1 and 25.

its 25

[graceful parcel]

ahhhh. i didnt know i could type in it. i didnt even try. but this helps i guess

[arctic plover]

so i think its able to display 25

[graceful parcel]

the dropdown shows only top15 channel/categories. but i can type and search for the ones that arent shown

[arctic plover]

okay, didnt know

[arctic plover]

channel_types: A list of channel types that can be selected in the menu. This is only valid for selects of select_type discord.ComponentType.channel_select.

think it can help to delete categories

[lofty parcel]

Channel and user selects work differently

[graceful parcel]

yea. im trying to play with it. but i cant make it work. also, if its possible, how i do make it only show channels from just one category and not all?

[shell radish]

you can't. But at that point, you can just use a normal select menu

[lofty parcel]

You'd use a normal select menu instead

[lofty parcel]

Y you type so fast

I hate squids

[graceful parcel]

but then, i will only be able to show a maximum of 25 channels right? this way, i can show all of them, but choose a maximum of 25

[lofty parcel]

Your category has more than 25 channels?

You could attach multiple select menus

[graceful parcel]

rn it doesnt, but it will in future

[shell radish]

or just use an autocomplete option

[graceful parcel]

each sel menu is 5 options, and each view is 5 sel menus for a max of 25 options

[graceful parcel]

that helps me choose more than 1 channel?

[shell radish]

each select menu is 25 options for a maximum of 125

[lofty parcel]

Each select menu has 25 options at max

[graceful parcel]

ooh. i read that wrong. that helps. thanks guys

[shell radish]

depends on how you implement it, yes

[graceful parcel]

okay. then ill look into autocomplete first. cz i dont wanna be hitting limits

[north spruce]

Is Pycord better than Discord Py? had seen pycord and wanted to try it out but it has a lot of things that are different in discord py

[shell radish]

it's personal preference

[latent viper]

is it possible to send an attached text file under the bot's message embed? When you send a file it goes under your message, but when sent by bot it's above its message (if it's an embed)

[deft kestrel]

How I can edit description in embed?

Its goes with the title

embed = discord.Embed(title="Text", description="Text.", color=...)

[still geode]

Hi all. Im using py-cord 2.4.1. My on_member_update is only triggering when a change is made to the bot account but not anyone elses. I think I have done everything correctly with Intents.

[shell radish]

how is bot defined?

[still geode]

bot = discord.Bot()

[little cobalt]

why do you add intents to all intents?

also add the intents to your bot

[shell radish]

you never passed the intents to your bot

[still geode]

I see thanks. This code used to work a while ago. I guess that has changed? Now it should be this?
bot = discord.Bot(intents=discord.Intents.all())

Yep, that did it. You guys rock! Thanks

[steep cliff]

Somehow my bot with message intents (both in code and on the dev portal) and admin perms doesn't react to on_message events at all

Any ideas why?

[north spruce]

Hmm okay, what's the biggest difference between these 2 ?

[steep cliff]

I did change the intents within the last 24 hours, don't know if that matters anything

[shell radish]

mainly the application command structure

[shell radish]

How did you define your intents?

[north spruce]

can you send me an example

[rugged lodge]

Here's the slash basic example.

[shell radish]

how is your on_message event defined

[steep cliff]

assume you'll ask for core.Cog next

[shell radish]

well, you never initialized the parent cog class

not sure if that directly causes the issue

[lofty parcel]

You edit the attribute.

Such method doesn't exist.

[shell radish]

also the name arg should just be left blank unless you are dispatching your own events

[steep cliff]

looks like this now

[steep cliff]

that's what caused the issue, thx

[north spruce]

and i read that the original dpy is no longer updating but why there update the lib ?

[lofty parcel]

Cogs don't need super().init btw

[steep cliff]

awesome thx

was confused how this'd been working for over a year if it wasn't correct

[shell radish]

if you don't initialize the class, you didn't initialize the methods no?

[lofty parcel]

None of my cogs have super().init

[shell radish]

they have a base class where they base their cogs on

[lofty parcel]

Oh?

[steep cliff]

But then how have my cogs been working just fine in the past?

Any ideas why message.content prints an empty string?

@core.Cog.listener()
async def on_message(self, message: discord.Message):
    """Event for when a feedback message is sent.

    Parameters
    ------------
    message: discord.Message
        The message that was sent."""
    if message.guild.id != core.config.rip_guild_id or message.author.bot or not core.is_valid_thread(message.channel) or message.channel.parent_id != core.config.feedback_channel_id:
        return
    if core.is_feedback(message.content):
        tags: list[discord.ForumTag] = [tag for tag in message.channel.applied_tags if
                                        tag.id != core.config.bell_tag_id]
        await message.channel.edit(applied_tags=tags)

[little cobalt]

do you have message_content intents?

[steep cliff]

figured I'd only need message and message content no longer exists, as it's not mentioned in the docs under on_message

thx

[lofty parcel]

For my own sake please reduce those if conditions gawd 😭

[steep cliff]

figured it'd be most efficient to return asap

[lofty parcel]

One if condition does the same thing

Python checks conditions in order

First to last

[steep cliff]

do you want me to combine them with and?

not sure what your proposing exactly

[lofty parcel]

Why would you use an and lmao

Just group the conditions into one if with or

[steep cliff]

I don't wanna, just figured that's what you suggested I was like hell nah, not gonna add that

[steep cliff]

meant or, nvm

tho I feel like ors just make it ugly and harder to read

[lofty parcel]

Whatever you want

[steep cliff]

hmm ig this doesn't look too bad

now you got me thinking

[hybrid tinsel]

how do i make it so that instead of disabling buttons in a paginator, it would just cancel the paginator on timeout?

[lofty parcel]

What is "cancel the paginator" supposed to mean?

[little cobalt]

what was the error one for the guild_only decorator?

commands.PrivateMessageOnly

I found it for dm_only but not for guild_only

[limber terrace]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/ext/bridge/api.html#discord.ext.bridge.guild_only

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/ext/commands/api.html#decorators

[serene mirage]

how can i create dropdowns in cog

[little cobalt]

Why should it not be possible to do it?

[hybrid tinsel]

this

[graceful parcel]

i have a slash command. it sends a view in the response. i also passed an argument in the slash command. how can i use it in the view's callback method

[tropic dawn]

is it possible to send a sticker using bot?

[echo wraith]

put your view in a class

[graceful parcel]

I did make a class. Called ChannelSelect which inherits the discord.ui.View

Is that what you mean?

[echo wraith]

then add an argument in your class

and call it with self

[rugged lodge]

Searched in pycord

discord.Bot.fetch_sticker
discord.Bot.fetch_premium_sticker_packs
discord.ext.commands.Bot.fetch_sticker
discord.ext.commands.Bot.fetch_premium_sticker_packs

[graceful parcel]

Oh. So like. In the slash command response when I do view=ChannelSelect()
I would be doing view=ChannelSelect(variable)

Like that?

[echo wraith]

@tropic dawn

[echo wraith]

yeah.Just remember to initiate the variable in the init of your class

[graceful parcel]

Yea. Got it

Thanks

[echo wraith]

no problem

[graceful parcel]

I was trying things like interaction.selected_options

I guess that's for command interactions and not interaction response

[lofty parcel]

You'd have to subclass the paginator and override on_timeout to do what you want

[sly pebble]

was reading the docs on discord.ext.commands.Bot.wait_for and saw this

am i capable of using an asynchronous function here, with an argument?

and if so, how would i do so

[sturdy acorn]

i have a /command on a cog but its not load in my bot

i use prefix command but i only want to add one /

the files is load and the other command of the cog(prefixed work)

do i need to do other thing than simply load the cog ?

[lofty parcel]

It's a sync function, not async

[lofty parcel]

?tag slashnoshow

[limber wagon]

No tag slashnoshow found.

[lofty parcel]

.tag slashnoshow

[sly karma]

Application Commands Not Showing Up?

• Uninstall libraries that conflict with the discord namespace (e.g. discord.py).
• Invite your bot with the application.commands scope.
• Load cogs before bot.run() (e.g. not in on_ready).
• Do not override on_connect.
• Update to the newest version of py-cord (see ?tag install).
• Turn off User Settings > Accessibility > Chat Input > Use legacy chat input.
• Share your code and errors.

[sturdy acorn]

thanks

[sly pebble]

womp :(
thanks for the answer tho

[lofty parcel]

Np

It's something like

def my_check(message):
     if message.author == ...:
           return True```

[sly pebble]

yeah i had a def as it is

my whole problem is that i had to use

requests

if there’s no way to async it though then i’ll just have to take that L

[limber terrace]

Which problems do u occur?

In case of async use aiohttp

[shell radish]

you can use aiohttp and call it with asyncio loops/run

[limber terrace]

Ok now we have THIS ONE MOMENT where are able to use a tag

?tag aiohttp

[limber wagon]

Use aiohttp.
requests and urllib are blocking. Do not use these libraries within your asynchronous code as they are not asynchronous. Otherwise known as blocking.

Aiohttp is a low level threading and http handler. Py-cord already uses aiohttp, so it should be installed. An example of code using aiohttp and Py-cord:

async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as cs:
    async with cs.get('https://httpbin.org/json%27') as r:
        res = await r.json()  # returns dict
        await ctx.send(res['slideshow']['author']) 

For more help, see aiohttp's documentation

[shell radish]

OP needed an example where there are no async or await keywords present.

[limber terrace]

you CAN call async functions within a "normal" function.
But to cover this particular case i need more information about what needs to be done

Or do i got it wrong?

[sly pebble]

oh good point, thanks

[sly pebble]

so i’ve seen lol

i entirely switched to aiohttp ages ago thanks to it

didn’t know how to actually use it in this specific case

[deft kestrel]

Is there a way to make animated emojis more consistent in embeds? The bot is in the server where all the emojis exist and yet in other servers they will either work or just not. The bot has administrator permissions and I even tried setting the channel permissions to allow external emojis.

The format of the emoji in the embed is ![Cash](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1153886512958673018.webp?size=128 "Cash")

[fickle salmon]

Is it because the other servers block external emojis?

[deft kestrel]

Well in the other server I am testing in, some of them work and some dont

It also is administrator in it and the channel has external emojis enabled for the bot

For example here page 1 of a paginated embed

and this is page 2

[deft kestrel]

Turns out the guild default role needs to have it enabled.

[hazy turret]

How can I edit the paginator in the view ?

I have sent a select menu in an ephemeral night and now I want to create the paginator with the pages in the callback function and then edit the message so that the select menu is removed and the paginator is displayed in the ephemeral night. Does anyone know how I can do this?

paginator = PaginatorView(cards_info)
        
await paginator.respond(interaction)

await interaction.response.edit_message(content=f"Kategorie {selected_category} ausgewählt.", view=paginator)

class PaginatorView(Paginator):
    def __init__(self, cards_info):
        self.pages = self.create_pages(cards_info)
        self.custom_buttons = [....]
        super().__init__(
            pages=self.pages,
            use_default_buttons=False,
            custom_buttons=self.custom_buttons,
            timeout=300,
            author_check=True,
        )

[robust turret]

I'm new to bot making: I started making a bot and I tried making a simple slash command like in the docs, but I didn't found how to limit a slash command to only one guild . Thanks :D

import discord
from discord.ext import commands

intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.typing = True
intents.presences = True

#bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='!', intents=intents) # useless, only /command

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
    print(f'Logged in as {bot.user.name} ({bot.user.id})')

@bot.command(description="Sends the bot's latency.", guild_ids=[833351790719926292]) # is "guild_ids" the right thing?
async def test(ctx):
    await ctx.respond(f"Pong! Latency is {bot.latency}")


bot.run('TOKEN')

[limber terrace]

Hi

You can define guild ids within the slash command decorator

Like guilds=[00000,00001,00002]
(Dont push me into it. Maybe its guild_ids)

[echo wraith]

@robust turret

[limber terrace]

[arctic plover]

just use slash_commands

[limber terrace]

Imagine

The possibilitys

If you put the stuff, that the lib is doing, onto a WEBSITE

[little cobalt]

so, if you use bot.command() and your bot is commands.Bot, the commands will be a prefix command. If you change it to discord.Bot than bot.command() will be a slash command

[little cobalt]

bot.command works with discord.Bot as a slash command

[limber terrace]

Funfact, you can still predefine a prefix and havin both.

I thought he is knowing about the slash command stuff since he asked how to limit them, not creating

[arctic plover]

i think he's using commands.Bot

Because this is the first thing you will find in the docs

[robust turret]

Yea, exactly

[limber terrace]

Well than just alter the decorator

To @slash_command(name="stuff", guild_ids=[stuff])

Im on mobile maybe im havin a typo

Viola, slash command

If u want to have them global, just remove the guild_ids thingie

U ok with this?

[deft kestrel]

Is it possible to defer an autocomplete function? I have a large list that it is getting from an endpoint and the time it takes exceeds the duration of the interaction

[shell radish]

nope

note that you only need to return 25 values instead of the whole array.

[deft kestrel]

Ah, thank you

[robust turret]

Yes, thank you

[hazy turret]

Anyone who knows a bit about Paginator? 🙂

[edgy glen]

If the user cant valid a command check in pycord, is it then possible to hide a command from a user?

As an example to an userslash command from a user which cant validate an command check?

[shell radish]

nope

[edgy glen]

Thank you anyway ^^

[gaunt vale]

Whats the correct way to use await bot.sync_commands() ? Im keep getting Failed to reload cogs.atlyr: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'guild_ids' but doesnt matter if I add guild_ids= or commands= in the sync_command variable

Im also using this version py-cord-dev==2.5.0rc5

[little cobalt]

For a reload command?

[gaunt vale]

Yes, not sure if unload are working properly yet but mainly reload

[little cobalt]

Did you also have uninstalled py-cord?

[gaunt vale]

Yea both uninstall and build up venv from scratch too

[little cobalt]

Did you add a command to sync?

[gaunt vale]

I've this, im new to py-cord but think its correct or really close to correct

    @commands.slash_command(name="reload", description="Reload a cog", guild_ids=[1084058095774355490])
    @commands.has_permissions(administrator=True)
    async def reload(self, ctx: discord.ApplicationContext, extension: str):
        try:
            self.bot.reload_extension(extension)
            command = self.bot.get_application_command(extension)
            await self.bot.sync_commands(commands=[command], guild_ids=[1084058095774355490])
            await ctx.respond(f"Reloaded {extension}")
        except Exception as e:
            await ctx.respond(f"Failed to reload {extension}: {e}")

[little cobalt]

is the file name and the command name the same?

[gaunt vale]

When reloading im using /reload cogs.[filename]. So thats the extension variable. Reloading itself works but syncing slash command are failing

[little cobalt]

?

[red mist]

@little cobalt Can you give me a bot name? That's literally the only reason I havent made a good one yet.

and a fitting icon mybe

[little cobalt]

I also need a good bot name ;3

[red mist]

Well shit

[gaunt vale]

The cog file is not same as the command names no if I understood correctly 😅

[little cobalt]

But you know what "NoneType" means?

[gaunt vale]

Yea it gets no value from guild_ids, it is specified in sync and the commands

[lofty parcel]

Remove the ctx.respond?

[green kernel]

Can you use custom emoji in a select menu?

[lofty parcel]

Yes

"Expected Interaction or BridgeContext"

You pass ctx.interaction

Not just ctx

[little cobalt]

something like ctx.interaction

[green kernel]

PartialEmojis are a no-go then?

I get:

discord.errors.HTTPException: 400 Bad Request (error code: 50035): Invalid Form Body
In data.components.0.components.0.options.0.emoji.name: Invalid emoji

when passing a custom emoji as a PartialEmoji

Should I cast str on it 🤔

[lofty parcel]

You can just pass it as <:emoji:id>

[green kernel]

Hmm, yeah but I figured it'd be easier to just do use the __str__ method but that doesn't seem to be working for me

I'd rather look into why than do the manual <:emoji:id> method because not all the emojis I have are custom

https://github.com/Pycord-Development/pycord/blob/master/discord/partial_emoji.py#L186

[green kernel]

To elaborate: after casting str() on an emoji, it still returns a PartialEmoji object regardless of whether the emoji is custom or not

I'll investigate further because there's no way the __str__ function is broken

[deft bronze]

how can i make loop/task to execute at specific time?

any examples in the web?

[rugged lodge]

Here's the background task example.

[deft bronze]

@lofty parcel

can i use pytz timeone into it?

[lofty parcel]

Try it and see

[deft bronze]

can't make it work even with timezone.utc

[fiery fossil]

If i have a dynamic buttons, eg, a button creates another view and that view has dropdown menus, etc, etc... do I need to create a random customid for each of those components? @lofty parcel

[shell radish]

no

[deft bronze]

no

[fiery fossil]

For example, do those ids need to be completely unique per each creation

[shell radish]

unless it is a persistent view

[shell radish]

no

[fiery fossil]

sorry, i am trying to implement persistent views

[fiery fossil]

is this a yes now,

😭

[shell radish]

it doesn’t have to be random

[fiery fossil]

Or can i simply just have "my_id1", "my_id2", and it doesn't matter how many people interact with it

[deft bronze]

@shell radish can u help me with this

[rugged lodge]

Here's the background task example.

[fiery fossil]

@shell radish i'm correct?

[deft bronze]

im following it

[shell radish]

so 00:52:00 am UTC?

[fiery fossil]

Is it because PersistentViewBot() instantiates a unique hook by default?

Trying to wrap my head around why each interaction does not have to be a unique custom id

[shell radish]

iirc each component in a view should have a different custom ID

[fiery fossil]

Yes, this is true - i know. but what if lets say, you and i both interact with it

We both have our ephemeral components (we see our own, ofc)

[shell radish]

that doesn't change anything

[fiery fossil]

if i restart the bot, will our owns stil work

[deft bronze]

it was a few minutes ago

[shell radish]

uhh no

[shell radish]

did you start the task

[deft bronze]

jackpot

how to do so?

nvm

saw it

[shell radish]

given functionbasic: functionbasic.start()

[deft bronze]

there we go

idk how i miss that

💀

[shell radish]

reading is hard

[fiery fossil]

For every persistent view, I have to put it under async def setup_hook(self) -> None: right? @shell radish

[shell radish]

what is setup_hook

oh discord.py

[fiery fossil]

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

[shell radish]

you can do that

[deft bronze]

and pytz.timezone doesn't seems to work

so i'll use utc

[fiery fossil]

Well, I am using pycord.. but I think I can still use this? Unless pycord has its own

I think I saw a youtube video where someone using pycord used persistence

[shell radish]

pycord doesn't have setup_hook

[fiery fossil]

Is there an example on how to implement persistent view with pycord?

[rugged lodge]

Here's the persistent example.

[fiery fossil]

aha.

[valid panther]

I'm making a jumbo command for emojis, but it only works with custom emojis. Does anyone know how we can do it for native discord emojis as well?

[valid panther]

Starting from a command ID, can I get a mention of the command?

[lofty parcel]

What is a jumbo command

[lofty parcel]

The mention is just </:name:id>

[valid panther]

jumbo commands convert emojis to large png like stickers

[valid panther]

yess ik, and for the sub-commands?

[lofty parcel]

Oh uh. Native emojis aren't images

[valid panther]

ik : C

[lofty parcel]

So I guess you'd need to do some wonky stuff like trying to get an api to give you an image

Based off the emoji name or something

[valid panther]

okay, np

and it is possible to pass the command ids to comands. ? get_slash_command_by_id ?

[lofty parcel]

Wdym

[deft kestrel]

is there much difference when using default_permissions over has_guild_permissions? Just want to make sure

[lofty parcel]

default_permissions limit users to see the command

has_guild_permissions is just an internal check

[deft kestrel]

So should I use both or does it not really matter?

[lofty parcel]

Up to you I guess

[deft kestrel]

Just wanted to make sure theres no risk of someone without the permissions using the command with default_permissions

[lofty parcel]

It's always good to have an internal check.

[deft kestrel]

Alright and can that still be overridden with the server integration settings?

[lofty parcel]

You can't override internal checks

They're internal

[steep cliff]

Is it possible to use the once=True kwarg in the on_ready event of a subclassed bot?

[wanton lance]

I may oversee something, but is there still a clean way to retrieve the display name of a member if they did not set any nick name in a guild? I do not want the global username, which is lowercase but the displaying name. Yet member.display_name is the lowercase global username if there is not nick set. For example in my case I would like to retrieve 'MR.e' instead of 'matrix_exe' and do not want to set a nick for each guild first.

[lofty parcel]

?tag pomelo

[limber wagon]

Before Pomelo-

member.name          -> username
member.nick          -> guild nick name
member.display_name  -> member.nick OR member.name

After Pomelo-

member.name          -> username
member.global_name   -> global display name (global nick name)
member.nick          -> guild nick name
member.display_name  -> member.nick OR member.global_name OR member.name

[wanton lance]

Ok, thanks for the info but my Member object unfortunately does not have a global_name which I apparently would like to retrieve in this case. Any ideas why?

[lofty parcel]

Because you might not be on the latest release

Uninstall py-cord and install py-cord-dev

[wanton lance]

ah, there is a dev package. Because I already checked that I have the newest py-cord 2.4.1. Will try the dev

works just fine, thanks for the quick support @lofty parcel

[lapis dock]

Sorry about that we have had some issues with finalizing the official release for the feature due to some administrative setbacks.

[wanton lance]

no worries, just didn't know about the dev package yet

how can i disable theese

[heavy sky]

What do you mean?

[olive sluice]

How can I create an autocomplete with guild members' name? I've tried using [member.name for member in bot.get_all_members()] but the list is empty

[arctic plover]

guild = bot.get_guild('Your guild id')
[member.name for member in guild.members]

[arctic plover]

or u mean all members of your bot?

not 1 guild only

[olive sluice]

1 guild is fine. But I've tried it and guild is not populated unless I ran it in on_ready first

And because my function is async it thrown me an error about guild being None

[arctic plover]

send your code

[olive sluice]

ok ill make a minimum working code. Give me a sec ❤️

[solar salmon]

I'm having issue with button.disabled doesn't work. No output error whatsoever.

class AcceptButton(discord.ui.View):

    def __init__(self, member, copied_embed, *items: Item, timeout: float | None = 180, disable_on_timeout: bool = False):
        self.member = member
        self.copied_embed = copied_embed 
        super().__init__(*items, timeout=timeout, disable_on_timeout=disable_on_timeout)

    @discord.ui.button(label="Accept", style=discord.ButtonStyle.success)
    async def accept_button(self, button, interaction):
        button.disabled = True
        button.label = "Accepted"
        await interaction.response.send_message(embeds=[self.copied_embed])

[arctic plover]

use class for your button

[raw gyro]

hi guys i want to give user display name but how ?

[arctic plover]

which subclassing discord.ui.Button

[solar salmon]

Alright will try thank you.

[raw gyro]

good luck!

@arctic ploverbro

you can help me?

phew

[olive sluice]

from discord.commands import Option

intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.members = True

bot = discord.Bot(intents=intents)

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
    global guild
    guild = bot.get_guild(put_guild_id_here)

    for guild in bot.guilds:
        print(guild)
        print(guild.id)

@bot.slash_command()
async def add_user(ctx, name: Option(str, "Enter the display name", require=True,
                                     autocomplete=discord.utils.basic_autocomplete(
                                         [member.name for member in guild.members]))):
    pass

TOKEN = "Put token here"
bot.run(TOKEN)

also I just realized that this wouldn't even work bc it will complain that guild is not defined

[raw gyro]

hi

[arctic plover]

u can use database

[raw gyro]

@arctic ploverI forget which code we used to get the user's display name.

[arctic plover]

use discord.Member object. it has member.display_name property

[raw gyro]

okay

thanks

[olive sluice]

As in creating my own database and read from it?

[arctic plover]

yes, you can use sqlite3

[olive sluice]

I see that makes sense. Thank you

[raw gyro]

@arctic ploverhey bro I forget which code we used to get the user's nick.

pls help me

[arctic plover]

just get member object

via guild.get_member(member_id)

and then use member.display_name property

[heavy sky]

?tag pomelo

[limber wagon]

Before Pomelo-

member.name          -> username
member.nick          -> guild nick name
member.display_name  -> member.nick OR member.name

After Pomelo-

member.name          -> username
member.global_name   -> global display name (global nick name)
member.nick          -> guild nick name
member.display_name  -> member.nick OR member.global_name OR member.name

[heavy sky]

That shows how to get different member names/nicks ^

[raw gyro]

thanks you

but member.nick is on this server

i need a global nick

[heavy sky]

if you want the global display name you can use member.global_name

but you need to either use the master branch or py-cord-dev for that

[raw gyro]

how?

[heavy sky]

?tag install

[limber wagon]

1. Uninstall discord.py or any other forks of discord.py you might have with the namespace discord.
python -m pip uninstall discord.py discord -y

2a. Install py-cord
python -m pip install py-cord

2b. Update py-cord
python pip install -U py-cord

Installing other builds:
Note: You need to have git installed. Use ?tag git to find out how to install git.

Updating the module to master branch (unstable):
pip install -U git+https://github.com/Pycord-Development/pycord

[raw gyro]

do i need upload?

ha

thanks bro

[heavy sky]

if you want to use the master branch, take a look at the last row

if you want to use py-cord-dev just uninstall py-cord and install py-cord-dev

[raw gyro]

Do you know how to code discord.py?

[heavy sky]

discord.py can be used almost the same as pycord but with some differences only

[raw gyro]

Do I need to use member.global_name there to get the global name?

at discord.py

[heavy sky]

You should ask that in the discord.py server instead if you want to know

[raw gyro]

Thank you, I know this, but I found out that I was banned from there :)

[heavy sky]

are you using discord.py or pycord?

[raw gyro]

im using discord.py

[heavy sky]

Then we can't help you. This server is only for pycord support

[raw gyro]

But since they are almost similar, I don't mind.

[raw gyro]

I know buddy but thank you for showing me the way.

[rapid jackal]

can I create a button with no label or set the column of a button?

[shadow junco]

I want to let the option type be text channels, but not all types of channels

@bot.command(name="移除新公告發送頻道", description="移除新公告發送頻道")
@commands.has_permissions(administrator = True)
@option('公告頻道', description='你要公告定期發送的頻道', type=SlashCommandOptionType.channel.text)

[little cobalt]

discord.TextChannel

@shadow junco

[shadow junco]

channel_types=ChannelType.text

this?

[little cobalt]

I dont know how it works with SlashCommandOptionType

with a normal option it would be discord.TextChannel

[shadow junco]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/application_commands.html#discord.Option.channel_types

oh i found it

[shadow junco]

but it doesn't work

@little cobalt

[sonic sorrel]

What could be the reasons for my select menu showing an error, but working as intended? I still can't figure it out..

[shell radish]

use interaction.response.edit_message instead

[sonic sorrel]

is it required to do this in the select callback?

[shell radish]

yes

at least preferably

[sonic sorrel]

wait but i thought the callback is done after i select my items, not when the select menu appears?

[shell radish]

yes it is

the original interaction that edited the message wasn’t acknowledged officially

[atomic fern]

do edit message necessary when disabling a button using button.disabled = True?

[shell radish]

that line only sets the change locally but that is never reflected to Discord

[sonic sorrel]

i see, so i supposed to somehow edit my roll random modifier button in the callback? but this is not right..

class RandomModifierButton(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__(timeout=None)
        self.value: bool = False

    @discord.ui.button(label="Roll Random Modifier", style=discord.ButtonStyle.green,custom_id="persistent_view:roll")
    async def button_callback_yes(self, _, interaction):
        self.value: bool = True
        interaction.response.edit_message(view=None)  # ?
        self.stop()

[sonic sorrel]

took me long enough to realise i did not await that

thank you

[opal hamlet]

be like that eh

[viscid depot]

Hi! I attach images to the message and the use them in embeds. I don't want the images to show outside of the embed but sometimes they randomly appear. How to fix it?

[opal hamlet]

?tag persistent_view

[limber wagon]

No tag persistent_view found.

No tag persistant found.

No tag persistant found.

[opal hamlet]

okay so i want to have a persistent view that i'll send to multiple users when a command is called(implementing a bounty system that asks for confirmation), that bounty gets an pending id(for the process of confirmation) which ill also use to access it in the Database, is there a way to "store" it in the view(there will obv. be different ones) besides just sending it in the message and scanning interaction.response.original_message().conent for the id?

[lofty parcel]

Why not storing the value based off the user id

[lofty parcel]

.tag idw

[sly karma]

Saying it doesn't work or asking what's wrong with this code is not helpful for yourself or others.
Describe what you expect and/or tried (with your code), and what isn't going right.
Please provide any errors you get for optimal assistance.

[opal hamlet]

eh already storing author_ids of bounties to see whom to notify, but also a user could have multiple bounties whose kills they need to confirm so there would be multiple process/pending ids associated with a user

i have already put in too much thought into it to the point i lost track of my plans lol

[lofty parcel]

Then store store a dict based off the user ID using the message ID and then the value

[shell radish]

“The palest ink is better than the best of mind” or something like that - some proverb from some country I forgot

[opal hamlet]

ah looks like i havent put enough thought into it, my database atm doesnt even have a column for storing whther or not it was confirmed

i assume when i send a persistent view to multiple users and reattach it or whatever after restart it wont complain? the custom_id should work for multiple "instances" right?

[lofty parcel]

Yes

[opal hamlet]

good good

eh ill probably use a ulid.timestamp as id and set it as footer or stuff and read that

[lofty parcel]

Why..

[opal hamlet]

lazyness and being tired

you cant tell me youve never been there

[shell radish]

then sleep

¯_(ツ)_/¯

It’s not like you’re doing this for a hackathon or something

[opal hamlet]

no, let me be frustrated in peace

[shell radish]

(like I did with my discord bot)

(and somehow won best UX in a general hackathon)

[opal hamlet]

for a Star Citizen Org thats inactive af rn

my bounty system will have a whopping user count of me and another guy to test it

[opal hamlet]

you know what, maybe i should accept advice if i come here for it

a dict wont do it but going off of message id is something proper

[viscid depot]

I want to send an embed with an image in the top-right corner. The image is a local file. I attach it and then use it in the embed.
This method works most of the times, but occasionally fails. When that happens, the image is visible in the same message.

embed = discord.Embed(color=discord.Color.blue(), description=description)
path = f"images/talents/{filename}"
file = discord.File(path, filename=filename)
embed.set_thumbnail(url=f"attachment://{filename}")
tooltips.append((embed, file))
if len(tooltips) == 10 or index == len(results) - 1 or index == amount - 1:
    embeds, files = list(map(list, zip(*tooltips)))
    await context.respond(embeds=embeds, files=files)

[sonic sorrel]

Hi, I want to store user data but I just want to check if it's ok to do it like this, or if there's a more secure way or something. I have a userdata folder with files named based on user IDs. A file is created for a user if the user uses the /settings command. All the information that is stored in the file, is some basic non-personal parameters used in another command that personalises their experience.

[lofty parcel]

Because you're sending it as a file too?...

[lofty parcel]

Json files are not databases. Use an actual db

[opal hamlet]

i mean storing user settings sounds okay to me

i personally recommend sqlite

[sonic sorrel]

so just like that

better to use a db yeah but this works for me right now with low user count

[shell radish]

if the images are static, just send them from a cdn.

[opal hamlet]

imo i would just use a sql database with a table called usersettings with columns: user_id, setting, value

[viscid depot]

Still, I don't get why it only happens 5% of the time or so.

[shell radish]

probably discord quirks

[viscid depot]

Thanks. I need to search how to do it as I never did it.

If you have a link explaing it or with an example, that would be helpful.

[sonic sorrel]

well tbh i am uneducated on DBs let alone how to implement one and transfer it between devices

[opal hamlet]

Well a sqlite db is literally just a .db file

And SQL syntax isnt too hard to learn IMO

[sonic sorrel]

probably but, I gotta setup SQLite as well right? Or can it all be done in python?

[opal hamlet]

All python

Natively

Import sqlite3

with sqlite3.connect('path to your db') as con:
    c = con.cursor()
    c.execute("CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS usersettings (user_id INTEGER NOT NULL, setting TEXT NOT NULL, value TEXT")
    con.commit()

@sonic sorrel

Thats for setting it up intially

I like to slap that into a def init_tablename():

[little cobalt]

I like to use MongoDB (NoSQL)

[opal hamlet]

I simply use what i have been using so far because i know how to use it

[sonic sorrel]

cool i will look into this more now

and to move between machines all you need to do is move the .db file? assuming i just put it next to main.py

[opal hamlet]

Yes

If the code has an active connection to the db overwriting on the target device gonna be a bit problematic but eh

Thats why closing connections is important!

[sonic sorrel]

well i just stop the code and override the .db file and go again?

[opal hamlet]

safest way

[sonic sorrel]

i wouldnt have tried any other way tbh

[opal hamlet]

Never challenge the computer god

[sonic sorrel]

komputer dumb only know 1 and 0

[opal hamlet]

iirc a basic settings tuple for a user would be kinda like

 usersettings = [row for row in c.execute("SELECT setting, value FROM usersettings WHERE user_id = ?",(user_id(a variable in your func))).fetchall()]```

That can then probably be turned into a dict and stuff

[shell radish]

upload image to imgur and copy link

for example

[opal hamlet]

IMO just upload it to a channel somewhere and copy the discord.attachment link

Already on discord that way

[shell radish]

they are planning to make attachment images non-permanent

[opal hamlet]

Oh

[shell radish]

because storage is expensive

at the scale for discord at least

[opal hamlet]

Yeah... i was wondering they didnt alread do that

[sonic sorrel]

hmm okay, thanks

[opal hamlet]

I mean each server probably has gigabytes of media on avg.(every server is a bit of an exaggeration but)

[shell radish]

like for every shitpost you send, discord has to handle that

which is a lot

[viscid depot]

Ah, ok! I thought you meant something more complex, via Pycord and/or Discord. Thanks again.

[opal hamlet]

Me remembering the time my bot accidentally sent the same 5 images what felt like 20 time a second for 30 secs before i noticed, yet didnt get rate limited

[opal hamlet]

Mf just cant decide whether to be on or off

[shell radish]

quantum states go brrrrrr

[sonic sorrel]

nah that aint real

[opal hamlet]

Ugh am i the only one that sees code after closing their eyes to sleep when they've been coding for a couple hours

[shell radish]

this is coding help, not mental health help

[opal hamlet]

Fair

Well depending on who you ask you are just biological code soooo

[shell radish]

according to some that is all just quack science

[viscid depot]

Tetris effect? Google it.

[opal hamlet]

Interesting

[autumn gust]

QQ: How to get information about a member (by either the object, or ID)

like, Username, Tag, Avatar Link etc. etc.

[opal hamlet]

simply user.avatar.url or stuff, user.display_name

[autumn gust]

hmmm

[opal hamlet]

Alternatively

[autumn gust]

is there a list somewhere?

yeah asking for that, navigating PyCord's docs is like navigating a jungle

I can barely find what I'm looking for

and if I do, it's always just half of what I need

what in the world, there's a search bar?
I was going blind looking through pages for all this time and didn't notice the goddamn search bar

I'm so sorry lmao, I spent hours looking for things and I didn't even notice the search bar

[opal hamlet]

Lmao

[autumn gust]

lmaoooo I'm so sorry

I can tunnel vision so hard sometimes even I'm surprised

[opal hamlet]

Yeah

[autumn gust]

that's revolutionary

I'm essentially just making a whitelist bot because why not

[opal hamlet]

Seachbars truly are innovative

[autumn gust]

hm, user.avatar how does that one show up?

as a link, or as an embed?

[opal hamlet]

"Represents a CDN asset on Discord."

[autumn gust]

so if I'm getting this right

uhhh no nevermind I am not

[opal hamlet]

Ah right sleep...

[autumn gust]

I have no idea what I could do to convert it to an url (or at least an embed)

[opal hamlet]

Are you familiar with oop?

[autumn gust]

I have no idea what that even is

[opal hamlet]

It literally has the url attribute

[opal hamlet]

Object Oriented Programming

[autumn gust]

oh so class stuff, well no

[opal hamlet]

The avatar url literally is user.avatar.url

[autumn gust]

well kinda, but not really

[opal hamlet]

It is a property of that object

[autumn gust]

so, just avatarurl = user.avatar.url solves the issue?

huh.

[lofty parcel]

Member.avatar returns a discord.Asset which represents the avatar image, you access the url either the .url attribute

[opal hamlet]

Might need to str() it but dunno

[autumn gust]

better safe than sorry amirite

[lofty parcel]

url already returns a str

[opal hamlet]

.

[lofty parcel]

url already returns a str

[autumn gust]

let's go, coding languages are smart

or uh

[lofty parcel]

It's redundant

[autumn gust]

at least that is

[opal hamlet]

I mean it probably simply is stored as a string

[autumn gust]

speaking of, I've had this thing; what is the second variable supposed to be

[opal hamlet]

Where we are going we don't need performance

[opal hamlet]

A not used one

[autumn gust]

huh

so just silencing it with , _ is the way?

[opal hamlet]

_ just indicates that its trash you don't care about

[lofty parcel]

It's just Member as far as I know

.rtfm on_member_join

[sly karma]

1 results

discord.on_member_join

[autumn gust]

so it returns member... twice?

[opal hamlet]

Nah

[little cobalt]

only member

[lofty parcel]

It's just member

[opal hamlet]

It takes the second arg thats passed into it

[little cobalt]

member: discord.Member

[lofty parcel]

You do need performance on a bot

[autumn gust]

if I don't include , _ it throws a non-crash error

[little cobalt]

remove that

[autumn gust]

about uh, 1 argument but 2 provided

somehow

[opal hamlet]

... if you have users :(

[autumn gust]

see, but removing it makes the program throw a fit

[opal hamlet]

Is it inside a class?

[autumn gust]

...yeah?

is it not supposed to be?

[opal hamlet]

Does it take self as arg?

[autumn gust]

wait

[little cobalt]

(self, member: discord.Member)

[autumn gust]

............................
yes...

OH

[lofty parcel]

This is why you need to learn OOP

[autumn gust]

IT JUST CLICKED

[opal hamlet]

Yes....

[autumn gust]

NOW I KNOW WHY CLASSES ARE USEFUL AND NOT JUST GARBAGE

people who were explaining it to me were... pretty shit at doing so

[opal hamlet]

Lady's and gentlemen, he got it

[autumn gust]

so I only ever half understood classes

but I assume, class just spoon feeds each function with a variable that it provides, yeah?

[opal hamlet]

Uhhhh

You basically can assign a class variable with self.varname = value

[autumn gust]

ignore the flavour text, but this is what the mess™️ is rn

[opal hamlet]

And then access it with print(self.varname) or shit

[autumn gust]

ah, got it

contained global

essentially

so uhh, I assume move on_member_join out of the class?

or make a class of it's own?

[opal hamlet]

Also lets say you have

    def __init__(self):
        self.strvar = 'i am an attribute, or was it property?'``` 
You could initiate CoolClass as f.e. cc with cc = CoolClass() and then print(cc.strvar) and so on

[autumn gust]

neat

[shell radish]

you don't initialize a class. You create an object/instance of that class

[opal hamlet]

Do you see on message above taking self in its constructor

[autumn gust]

yes

[opal hamlet]

Yeah yeah, i know how to do it but not the fancy language slang(aka terms/names for things)

[opal hamlet]

So go add that as first argument

[autumn gust]

ooh, so spoon feed self to everything now, alright

[opal hamlet]

If its in a class it WILL receive a self as first, member is being used as self by the class

and _ is member

because theres no self

[autumn gust]

right

[opal hamlet]

I wonder, is self also a kwarg

Well don't care enough to find out

[opal hamlet]

Everything in a class yes

[shell radish]

yes

[autumn gust]

understood

so essentialy, this piece of code is having an existentional crisis

so I have to remind it that it's self

got it, got it

[opal hamlet]

well it doesn't need to be called seld

[autumn gust]

never thought a piece of code could be going through what I'm going through/hj

[shell radish]

except for static and class methods

[opal hamlet]

its just that 'self' is called member and you are doing operations on self that you want to do on member

[autumn gust]

OH

[shell radish]

no, self refers to the client object here

[opal hamlet]

Well yes but i meant self as whatever the fuck you call the self var/obj, and that got stored inside member

Ah god i should actually sleep, coherence is leaving my head

[shell radish]

you're not making much sense

[opal hamlet]

Yes

Well I know what i mean

Lol

I love the brains ability to understand concepts without combining them with any kind of words or other information you can properly communicate

So i just end up babbling some gibberish

[shell radish]

the member arg is unrelated to self

[opal hamlet]

Yeah

[autumn gust]

a brain is essentially what a beginner programmer would write as their first official project

it's so jumbled that NO ONE not even themselves understand what it does

or how it does it

[opal hamlet]

but isnt self usually the first arg no matter what its called in the defs constructor(?)

[shell radish]

except for static and class methods

[opal hamlet]

Yes

[autumn gust]

would this work for sending something in one message on multiple lines

[opal hamlet]

Use \n for newline

[autumn gust]

oh.

[shell radish]

yes, but the indentation will be there

[autumn gust]

so like this?

OH

THAT INDENTATION

[opal hamlet]

It was \n and not /n right? I usually do it by muscle memory on pc

[shell radish]

The indentation is also an issue on mobile

so I recommend just using \n

[autumn gust]

okay so

what's the display name thingy again

user.what?

display_name didn't work

[opal hamlet]

user.display_name

Huh

[autumn gust]

it returns back member object

okay good

[opal hamlet]

Lol

[autumn gust]

cough

what did I break

[opal hamlet]

Can you you show the whole def/func

[lofty parcel]

What's your pycord version

[autumn gust]

uhhhh

[shell radish]

Are you on 2.5.0rc5

[autumn gust]

how do I check again

[shell radish]

discord.__version__

[lofty parcel]

pip list

[autumn gust]

ah

[opal hamlet]

Now imagine discord.py instead of pycord

Would be too classic

[autumn gust]

I assume this is ancient

[opal hamlet]

Do you perhaps still have discord.py installed

[autumn gust]

no

I never had it

[opal hamlet]

Okay

Gud

[shell radish]

yeah so there's a dev version which include pomelo

[autumn gust]

ahh... got it

is it stable-ish?

[shell radish]

yeah

[autumn gust]

aka it won't collapse because of a funny

huh

how do me install

[shell radish]

#library-updates

[autumn gust]

oh

[opal hamlet]

Hah ive been too lazy so far to update to dev...

Who needs to be up to date anyways

[shell radish]

@opal hamlet go to sleep. You're clearly not mentally ok rn

[autumn gust]

OH COME THE FUCK ON

[lofty parcel]

Is anyone mentally OK at this point of the year

[autumn gust]

I was assuming what the * emant

[shell radish]

why tf did you use self

[autumn gust]

there was a *

[shell radish]

so?

[autumn gust]

I assumed it was some self bs

[lofty parcel]

Why you passing self?

[opal hamlet]

Lmao

[autumn gust]

what does the star mean

[shell radish]

you also clearly don't know how python works

[autumn gust]

or asteriks

[opal hamlet]

Placeholder

[autumn gust]

...oh

[opal hamlet]

For potential args

[autumn gust]

I work on (huge) trial and error

[opal hamlet]

Ever seen *args, **kwargs

[autumn gust]

...not really

[shell radish]

great

[opal hamlet]

In f.e. def name(*args, **kwargs)

[autumn gust]

nope

[opal hamlet]

Ah

[autumn gust]

wait

[shell radish]

waiting

[autumn gust]

so, *args is essentialy just if * == 1:

and * can be ANYTHING you put in

[opal hamlet]

What

[shell radish]

no

[autumn gust]

well no that's what I got

[opal hamlet]

Its a potentially unlimited number of args

[autumn gust]

or is it full on *args

[opal hamlet]

Or an array/list of args

Wait no arrays aren't python native are they

[autumn gust]

so whatever you do def(abc) it checks abc if it's 1, def then it does the same and so on

[opal hamlet]

Don't 💀 me!

[shell radish]

*args means take these arguments and make them into an array named args

[autumn gust]

oooooooooh

and what that do

how could it be beneficial in like, any way

[shell radish]

just remove self, in your case

[opal hamlet]

You can do f.e. name = args[0]

[autumn gust]

oh

okay

[autumn gust]

OH

[shell radish]

overloading

[autumn gust]

OH MY GOD

[opal hamlet]

And then age = args[1]

But ive never used that

[autumn gust]

oh so like

what's kwargs

[opal hamlet]

Keyword args

[shell radish]

you're not native to python

[autumn gust]

ah

[autumn gust]

I kind of understand python, but I'm also kinda throwing myself into deep water

trial and erroring until it works

[shell radish]

this is more like shallow waters...

[opal hamlet]

Ive taught myself coding via chatgpt for the past 3-4 months and have been trial and erroring discord bots, so no lmao

[shell radish]

but yeah

[autumn gust]

to you, but not to me

[lofty parcel]

More like a black hole

[autumn gust]

the pits of hell have opened to swallow you whole

[opal hamlet]

I just suck at remembering names or terms for things

[shell radish]

wait until you hear about multiprocessing

[opal hamlet]

Ah yes

[shell radish]

yeah, learning everything at 4 am is definitely going help you remember them

shut

[opal hamlet]

Uh hello? Its merely 0:41!

[autumn gust]

same timezone let's gooo

[opal hamlet]

And i usually only do code until 2am, big difference

[autumn gust]

I'm running on an energy drink and like 4 different coffees

[shell radish]

🤥

[opal hamlet]

4 different coffees are whats needed to compensate for lack of sleep alone

[autumn gust]

and then factor in ADHD

and the fact I get so scatterbrained when tired I forget to sleep

my head is pounding but code is the cure

[shell radish]

https://tenor.com/view/this-is-fine-fire-house-burning-okay-gif-5263684

[opal hamlet]

Me telling myself to go to sleep for the past 3 hours but discord and manga keep me awake

[autumn gust]

hmmmmm

[sonic sorrel]

@opal hamlet sorry to bother u, do u know how to manually add a row of user data to sqlite3 db? do i need a program to open the db file, or maybe in pycharm?

[autumn gust]

minor issue: why does my bot only send a message once

and then never again

[opal hamlet]

I recommend DB browser

https://sqlitebrowser.org/ @sonic sorrel

Can also be uhhh selected as standard app for .db which is CONVENIENT

[opal hamlet]

Wdym

Is it supposed to send them multiple times from a loop?

[autumn gust]

well yesn't

if kicked, send message

it sent this only once

man it feels so raw without an avatar

but that's beside the point

[opal hamlet]

What exactly was it supposed to send besides that

[autumn gust]

it, but again

[opal hamlet]

But why

Did you kick yourself again for testing?

[sonic sorrel]

well that was easy, thanks again

[opal hamlet]

Did you add some nice traceback to your function?

[opal hamlet]

👍

[autumn gust]

yup

[autumn gust]

traceback, wdym by that

[opal hamlet]

Just be careful with INSERT OR REPLACE, it may create a few duplicates, implement a check if exists func that returns a bool

[autumn gust]

it does everything nicely, but not the send message part

[opal hamlet]

Its a standard library

[opal hamlet]

Maybe put the send before kick?

[autumn gust]

... oh

riiiight...

[opal hamlet]

Maybe discord is bitching that the member kinda doesn't exist or smth

[autumn gust]

I forgot that alt has dms from people blocked

[opal hamlet]

.....

Lmao

Nah but i personally like to wrap everything inside a function in
try:
except: traceback.print_exc()

Gotta import traceback first tho

[lofty parcel]

on_error listeners exist

[opal hamlet]

Hmhm

I just log every exception and call it a day

It'll be fineee

[little cobalt]

If you use on_error you dont have to use all the try and except stuff

[opal hamlet]

Isn't it only for commands? Cuz im generally using it

[little cobalt]

that what you mean is on_command_error

[opal hamlet]

Ah

But what if on_error errors

Jk

[little cobalt]

anything

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api/clients.html#discord.Bot.on_error

[shell radish]

only for events

[little cobalt]

only event?

mhm ok

[opal hamlet]

Logging tracebacks it is then.

[frail ocean]

are there some examples?

[fickle salmon]

I'm sure there are

[frail ocean]

U know some?

[rancid arrow]

I have an option for a slash command as

person = discord.Option(input_type = discord.Member, name = "target", description = "Who you want to ask the question to", required = True)

but it's a string and not a discord.Member object and I don't know why

[deft kestrel]

from discord import Option

@client.slash_command(name="avatar", description="Shows a users avatar.")
@commands.guild_only()
async def useravatar(ctx: discord.ApplicationContext, user: Option(discord.Member, "The user to show the avatar for.", required=False)):

This is how I am formatting arguments in slash commands.

[rancid arrow]

yeah i figured it out although im not particularly sure why it has to be a typehint

[shell radish]

just how it's coded

[latent viper]

is it possible to mention a command with an option already specified?

[opal hamlet]

do you mean something like autocomplete?

[rugged lodge]

Searched in pycord

discord.AutocompleteContext
discord.AutocompleteContext.bot
discord.AutocompleteContext.cog
discord.AutocompleteContext.command
discord.AutocompleteContext.focused
discord.AutocompleteContext.interaction
discord.AutocompleteContext.options
discord.AutocompleteContext.value
discord.Bot.get_autocomplete_context
discord.commands.context.AutocompleteContext
discord.ext.commands.Bot.get_autocomplete_context

[opal hamlet]

async def complete_bounty(self, ctx:discord.ApplicationContext, target:Option(str, name_localizations={'de':'ziel'}), evidence:Option(discord.Attachment, name_localizations={'de':'beweis'})):
how would i limit evidence to attachments of type image or video?

would i need to do smth like py if not evidence.contentent_type == 'video': return

[lost ocean]

how do i fetch my bots top role in a server?

[opal hamlet]

from discord.utils import get
async def assignrole():
    role = 'rolename'
    gs = bot.guilds
    for g in gs:
        role = get(g.roles, name=role)
        if not role:
            await g.create_role(name=role)
            role = get(g.roles, name=role)
        if not role in g.me.roles:
            await g.me.add_roles(role)```
not *exactly* what you are looking for, but what i had laying around

i think the guild.me.roles would be key here

[lost ocean]

alr

nvm @opal hamlet

its ctx.guild.me.top_role

thanks anywyas

[opal hamlet]

lol its always something obvious you just never used before, eh?

[lost ocean]

frfr

[latent viper]

well.. kinda. When you mention a cmd called cmd it will look like /cmd and you can click it, then specify options etc. But I wonder if you can mention it like /cmd option:value so when it's clicked, it has the option filled already

[opal hamlet]

i think there should be some kind of default value of sorts

[glass marsh]

@bot.event
async def on_reaction_add(ctx, reaction, user):
    # Check if the message ID and reaction emoji match
    if reaction.message.id == 1155467049687072819 and str(reaction.emoji) == "✅":
        # Get the role object
        role = discord.utils.get(user.guild.roles, id=1155467114568745071)

        # Check if the user already has the role
        if role not in user.roles:
            # Add the role to the user
            await user.add_roles(role)

Not sure why this code doesnt do anything could someone point me in the right direction

[lofty parcel]

.idw

[sly karma]

Saying it doesn't work or asking what's wrong with this code is not helpful for yourself or others.
Describe what you expect and/or tried (with your code), and what isn't going right.
Please provide any errors you get for optimal assistance.

[glass marsh]

its meant to constantly listen for ✅ to be added as a reaction to a message and then its meant to add the role but it doesnt do anything no erroring bot has sufficient permissions everywhere and nothing happens

[little cobalt]

?tag intents

[limber wagon]

Pycord Docs - Intents
Discord API Docs - Gateway Intents

import discord
from discord.ext import commands

# Get specific intents for fine control
intents = discord.Intents()
intents.emojis = True
intents.guilds = True
intents.messages = True  # Required for prefix commands!

# Apply intents when creating your bot
bot = commands.bot(prefix="?", intents=intents)

[glass marsh]

intents = discord.Intents.all()

bot = discord.Bot()
client = discord.Client(intents=intents)

my intents are defined

and are enabled on the dev portal

[clear aurora]

embed.set_image(url='attachment://blogpost.png')
message = await channel.send(file=file, embed=embed)

How can I get the URL of the picture in the sent message?

[glass marsh]

i believe it is this

return message.jump_url

or this

channel = discord.utils.get(client.get_all_channels(), id=1234567890)
message_url = await get_message_url(channel, 1234567890)

[clear aurora]

I am sorry. I mean the URL of the picture in the message

[glass marsh]

async def get_image_url(message):
    """Gets the URL of an image sent in a message.

    Args:
        message: The message containing the image.

    Returns:
        A string containing the URL of the image, or None if the message does not contain an image.
    """

    if not message.attachments:
        return None

    attachment = message.attachments[0]

    if attachment.content_type not in ["image/png", "image/jpeg"]:
        return None

    # Return the URL of the image
    return attachment.url

[lapis dock]

This will only work if the message is cached. Try using on_raw_reaction_add

[glass marsh]

i tried that still didnt work :(

[lapis dock]

is it in a cog?

If so use this instead discord.Cog.listener of bot.event

[glass marsh]

nah its in the main bit

which is why im so confused on why it doesnt work

[little cobalt]

Why do you have discord.Bot and discord.Client?

[lapis dock]

Zervy is right, you should not need client, just move intents into bot and replaces all client references with bot

[clear aurora]

that does not work. return None

i think it is because the image is in the Embed?

[autumn gust]

hey, is client.latency the ping in ms?

[little cobalt]

.tias

[sly karma]

https://i.imgur.com/VkRzeQJ.png

[lapis dock]

It should be

[lapis dock]

nvm Docs say it is seconds

[autumn gust]

good point, however:

[autumn gust]

they do? I must've overlooked that

oh yup I overlooked that

[lapis dock]

it was easy to miss

[autumn gust]

yeaa your brain automatically starts skipping over when you see words completely alien to you

and it's at the end of them

I wonder, does everything from events have to be put under this?

and then, slash commands have to be put outside of this class, right?

[lofty parcel]

Because events are method in the bot class

[autumn gust]

so, events go under this class, but slash commands go OUTSIDE the class, yes?

[little cobalt]

For slash commands you would have to change it

[autumn gust]

or does it not matter

[little cobalt]

?tag clients

[limber wagon]

No tag clients found.

[little cobalt]

?tag client

[limber wagon]

discord.Client # just for events
discord.Bot # events + slash/user/msg commands
commands.Bot # above + prefixed commands
bridge.Bot # above + bridge commands (application commands and text commands in one)

[lofty parcel]

Yes

Because you create the command based off the class

@bot.command()

You can't do @self.command()

[autumn gust]

ah

I assume like this, or am I missing something

I'm enjoying the fact that doing all of this is going smoother with each day

[lofty parcel]

The hell is that supposed to be

[autumn gust]

uhhh

the class thingy, just like the discord.Client one

[lofty parcel]

You either use discord.bot or discord.client

You don't use both

[autumn gust]

oh, so replace the class Client(discord.Client) with class Client(discord.Bot)

instead of make a new class

[glass marsh]

*1000 for ms

[lofty parcel]

Yes..

[autumn gust]

oh.

I feel so dumb

well, now time to fail horribly at creating slash commands

[lofty parcel]

This is why you need to learn OOP x3rd time

[autumn gust]

fair

#app-commands

[autumn gust]

can somebody send a short template of a slash command since I'm getting nothing out of the docs

assuming I'm looking at the right thing(discord.SlashCommand)

[rugged lodge]

Here's the slash basic example.

[autumn gust]

ah

what did I do wrong

it worked a second ago and now it's having a stroke

[little cobalt]

Dont use discord.Client and discord.Bot at the same time

[glass marsh]

Im still having issue with my code

Im trying to have it when a message recieves a reaction of ✅ that they recieve a certain role
I have defined all my intents and when i react to the message nothing happens and i recieve no errors

intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.reactions = True

bot = discord.Bot(
    intents=intents
)


#######

        @commands.Cog.listener()
        async def on_raw_reaction_add(reaction, user):
            # Check if the reaction is a white_check_mark emoji and the message ID is correct
            if str(reaction.emoji) == '✅' and reaction.message.id == 1155467049687072819:
                # Get the role by its ID
                role = user.guild.get_role(1155467114568745071)
                if role is not None:
                    # Add the role to the user
                    await user.add_roles(role)
                    print(f'Added role {role.name} to {user.display_name}')

[autumn gust]

but, I'm not?

that's the only class I have

[little cobalt]

Oh ok

[autumn gust]

that's the entire code for this class

[little cobalt]

Is it outside of the class?

[autumn gust]

yes

wait...

it was the client.slash_command() trying to use the previous thing

💀 my bad

hmmm, but the site uses @bot.slash_command and I'm forced to use @client.slash_command

what could be the thing

[lofty parcel]

Because you declared your class as Client

You don't copy the code exactly as the example

You understand and write yours

[autumn gust]

I assumed there was an error lol

also

any clue why this doesn't work

doesn't work as class Client(discord.Bot) either

no error just

silence

the bot itself is alive though

[opal hamlet]

How can i limit a command option attachment to img or video

[autumn gust]

I am going insane

on another note: while this is broken;
what does ctx mean?

is it just command whatever?

kinda like a command object

[opal hamlet]

abbreviation of context

[autumn gust]

oh

man

[opal hamlet]

being you know, the context of the command

[autumn gust]

oi Dnoxl

any idea how to fix the above issue

I think I might've accidentally lobotomised my bot and I have zero idea how I did that

[opal hamlet]

you dont need to subclass bot afaik

just remove the class Bot

[autumn gust]

[opal hamlet]

un-indent on_ready

[autumn gust]

this is the entire class

class Client(discord.Bot): doesn't work either

[opal hamlet]

its not inside a Cog file is it?

[autumn gust]

no?

it's a .py file

[opal hamlet]

just get rid of the class
