Basic Pycord Help

[sage tendon]

like for what purpose

[vital bramble]

To have a role that can use a command but one can change the role that can use the command during runtime.
But I just remembered: The command.checks are basically the equivalent of just checking it in the callback, right?

[sage tendon]

server settings

[vital bramble]

That's the new way?

[sage tendon]

that has always been the way

[vital bramble]

Hasn't there been a commands.check for roles?

[sage tendon]

No idea, but i cant imagine a use case where the discord menu isn't enough

[vital bramble]

ok but is it possible by now to change those values (in the serversettings) from code?

[sage tendon]

dont think so, but why would you ever need that

[vital bramble]

Hm yeah. I guess to make it easier to set it up...

faster*

[sage tendon]

if you only use that bot in your server then just limit commands to manage_server perms or use this
you only need to do it once for every command

[sage tendon]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.check also, as always

[finite plover]

its pizdec

[deft kestrel]

How can I stop the work wait_for before the timer expires

[arctic plover]

how to fetch a message?

[rugged lodge]

Searched in pycord

[arctic plover]

Thanks

[deft kestrel]

Guys, how can I stop a previously running process wait_for?

[errant trout]

do you have some example code? it kinda depends

[deft kestrel]

wait_for(event, *, check=None, timeout=None)```
That's an example

[errant trout]

You're meant to use check to end it early

[rugged lodge]

Searched in pycord

discord.Bot.wait_for
discord.ext.commands.Bot.wait_for

[errant trout]

Docs has a decent example of how it works

[deft kestrel]

Ok, thanks

[arctic plover]

How can I add a persistent view if the view class gets additional parameters? I can't just do bot.add_view(myView()) as there will be an AttributeError

[deft kestrel]

bot.add_view(myView(self))

Depending on how many additional parameters you have, insert so many self

[sage tendon]

...why would they pass self for each parameter, that makes no sense

[arctic plover]

So I just pass any parameters and it will work?

[sage tendon]

pass the right parameters..

[lapis dock]

Basically you just manually create the view. You will not have some of the cached properties like View.message but it is just passing a instance of View in the end.

[arctic plover]

But where can I get them?

[sage tendon]

what do you mean lol

pass the stuff you want the view to have

just make the view normally

[arctic plover]

It has many instances with different attributes

Do I have to add them all separately?

[lapis dock]

Yes

[sage tendon]

every existing view needs to be added yes

if you have a lot, well, good luck

[lapis dock]

Most of the time on bot startup you will need to use a database and a for loop to add a bunch of views

[arctic plover]

So there is no easier way here?

[sage tendon]

no

if you want views, make them

you cant just magically make them think up arguments for themselves

well you can, but, yknow

[frail ocean]

Does someone have an example for automod rules

[limber wagon]

There are no tags that match your search.

[errant trout]

i meannnnn

what are you trying to do

[sage tendon]

block links
block bad words

[frail ocean]

No i mean a code example

[errant trout]

again, example for what

like what's your goal

[sage tendon]

the docs have great code examples for automod iirc

[frail ocean]

I want to see how the code works.

[errant trout]

that's... a bit vague, there's a lot to automod

[frail ocean]

._.

[frail ocean]

Add rule and edit rule

[errant trout]

like in this case, reading the docs just makes sense

[sage tendon]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/models.html#discord.AutoModRule start here

[errant trout]

creating rules is https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api/models.html#discord.Guild.create_auto_moderation_rule

[frail ocean]

How many servers u have to create a rule to get the badge

[errant trout]

if you want to edit an existing rule, fetch it from the guild method and then use AutoModRule.edit

oh that

[sage tendon]

bruh

[errant trout]

idk i forgot the threshold but im pretty sure it's a constant check

[sage tendon]

just to farm the badge?

[frail ocean]

Na only want to know

No

[errant trout]

so you'll probably lose it anyway

[sage tendon]

i am quite certain its a fixed amount of rules, not servers

[frail ocean]

But is there an example

[errant trout]

eh... i can write one...

but it won't look particularly useful

[sage tendon]

just deduce it from the docs

its really not hard

fill the parameters with stuff and you're done

[frail ocean]

Hmm okay

and is there a way to get rules ?

[sage tendon]

of course

[frail ocean]

And how can i create slash command which look like that:
/automod blacklist add?

[errant trout]

like py await guild.create_auto_moderation_rule(name="Some Rule", event_type=AutoModEventType.message_send, trigger_type=AutoModTriggerType.spam, actions=[AutoModAction(action_type=AutoModActionType.block_message, metadata=AutoModActionMetadata(timeout_duration=60))], enabled=True, exempt_roles=[guild.get_role(...)], reason="example")it's so verbose that you have to read docs anyway

[frail ocean]

This 3 command names if u understand

[frail ocean]

Okay thx

[errant trout]

you need groups and subgroups

https://github.com/Pycord-Development/pycord/blob/master/examples/app_commands/slash_cog_groups.py

[frail ocean]

Groups i know

But subgroups?

[errant trout]

subgroup is the last level, that example shows how to use create_subgroup

[frail ocean]

international_greetings = greetings.create_subgroup(
"international", "International greetings"
)

[errant trout]

yeah

[frail ocean]

Thank you 😄

And is there a id from automod rules or how to get them

[errant trout]

when you fetch them they'll have an ID attached

[frail ocean]

How will the id look like

[errant trout]

like... any other discord id

snowflake format

[frail ocean]

Is there also a way to get who created the rule

?

[errant trout]

uhhhh

i don't think that's saved, only way would be through audit log

wait no

the creator attribute, completely missed it lol

[frail ocean]

Okay and last question:
Is ther a way to get if a server has premium from a bot or is there a "upgrade" event?

[errant trout]

like, server boosts?

or bot subscriptions

[frail ocean]

This yes

[errant trout]

hmmmmm im not sure if that's implemented

lemme see

[frail ocean]

❤️

[errant trout]

i believe you're looking for Entitelment events https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api/events.html#entitlements

and perhaps fetch_entitlements

i've never used these, so you're on your own to test

[frail ocean]

And that gets, when a user subscribes?

[errant trout]

these are all user related yes, the docs tell you everything

[frail ocean]

Thanks you

and is there a way to get this via command?

[sage tendon]

get what

[frail ocean]

If a server has subscribed

[sage tendon]

what

[errant trout]

you can try await bot.fetch_entitlements, but again i'm not familiar with this system so it's really up to you to figure out how it works

[finite plover]

[sage tendon]

certified read-the-docs moment

[finite plover]

sure

[frail ocean]

Okay

[arctic plover]

I finally got it done.. It's good that there is a pickle

[grizzled loom]

huh? what? there is a badge for doint auto-mod nonsense? Did I miss sth?
(not planing to get it if there is, just curious)

[errant trout]

if your bot makes X amount of automod rules, it gets a badge for it

...for some reason

https://support-dev.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/13847462843543-Introducing-the-AutoMod-Badge

[grizzled loom]

definately dont want that, but i'll take a look at it. thanks for the link!

[shell radish]

nqn has it for emoji shenanigans

[grizzled loom]

jeeeesus. I'd never build a censor bot like this. possibly to help protect against raids or massive spam but other than that, no thanks.
okay, squids example may also make the list. but thats it 😄

[shell radish]

@austere loom

[errant trout]

well it's really just for creating built-in mod rules, but they also added an automod event so bots can throw in their own logic whenever a user messes up

[grizzled loom]

i once got short term banned (and quickly unbaned) when on the discord dev server someone asked why his bot would get rejected. i pointed out his f... nitro garbage in the bots discribtion, auto mod kicked in.

strongly dislike those mechanics cause they never ask for context.

same on a study server where literature was discussed and parts of it happened to be sexual, which is part of the main plot in some classics and was in this case essential to the book.

but i am going a bit of topic 🙃

[deft hull]

How do I set a local image as thumbnail of an Embed?

[errant trout]

.tag local-file

[sly karma]

f = discord.File("some_file_path", filename="image.png")
e = discord.Embed()
e.set_image(url="attachment://image.png")
await messagable.send(file=f, embed=e)```

[deft hull]

my images are stored in a folder assets/portraits

I've tried "attachment://assets/portraits/image.png"

but the image does not display

[errant trout]

you're a bit off

as in the example above, you specify the file path and the name separately

the path is the actual path on your PC, while the name can be anything you want - that name is what you set in the embed.

[deft hull]

ah I see

let me try

damn

this is going to be a bit hard for how I store my embeds

[errant trout]

what's the issue?

[deft hull]

the thing is I store my embed in a subclass

and I have a lot of ui components that edit the message to update the embed

[errant trout]

are you running into an issue with the image reverting? or is there something else

[deft hull]

no issues, I just have to define the file in every ui component

and my file changes depending on some parameters lol

[errant trout]

ah i see, just make sure it's a new object every time because File isn't reusable

[deft hull]

hopefully I don't run into a lot of issue lol

(oops I forgot to specify the filename)

damn nice it worked thank you

[errant trout]

allgood

[deft hull]

this is my view object and the output

how do I rearrange it to become
[OutfitSelect]
[ShinyButton] [ChangeLevel]

[lofty parcel]

Cute bot lmao

What does it do?

[deft hull]

it just displays info from the game lol

[lofty parcel]

Use the row= kwarg

Give your select row 0 and your buttons row 1

[deft hull]

ah ok

[lofty parcel]

Edit. Its zero indexed

[deft hull]

thank you

[ivory beacon]

How many seconds do I have to wait before changing the bot's activity?
to avoid rate limit

[edgy girder]

Im currently using requests for a small task that runs once weekly and uses a get and a post request, is it worth it to re write it in a non blocking library?

Its for a small 3 server project

[edgy girder]

From personal experience once per minute works fine

[edgy girder]

Just checked, you can have 5 updates per 20 seconds

[ivory beacon]

thanks a lot ❤️

[fresh totem]

Hey

I'm trying to delete all the messages froma channel using

    await channel.delete_messages()

what should I set the messsages parameter as? there are < 100 messages in these

[edgy girder]

you need a list of messages to remove try something like this

messages = [message async for message in channel.history(limit=100)]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/models.html#discord.TextChannel.history

sorry for the phantom had to make sure i wasen't just making shit tf up

[fresh totem]

That worked as it is, perfect!

Thanks Ruthok!

[granite pier]

@fresh totem

messages = await channel.history(limit=100).flatten()

thats what .flatten() does

async def flatten(self) -> list[T]:
    return [element async for element in self]

just fyi ;p

[fathom cedar]

What does that mean

[errant trout]

You were already answered, but channel.purge is a better alternative for your purpose

[errant trout]

Don't typehint context

If it's still broken, show the whole command definition/class

[fathom cedar]

https://pastebin.com/wpCsMDVJ

[rugged lodge]

https://pastebin.com/raw/wpCsMDVJ

[errant trout]

Yeah just remove the Context typehint

(More specifically it should be ApplicationContext, but really you don't need to specify at all)

[fathom cedar]

okkk

worked ty

[hushed pebble]

Guys, is it possible to have already something in modal?

like i want to make one modal, and i need that it will ask if you can edit like you wrote something in modal and it saying:

publishing modal?
YES|NO|EDIT

and when im clicking on edit it will send to me to modal with the text that i already wrote there so i can edit it

sorry for grammar mistakes if i have any, im not english speaker

[fathom cedar]

yes i already saw a modal like that

[hushed pebble]

and how can i also do it?

[fathom cedar]

idk

how to fix this error: "Call expression not allowed in type expression"

[errant trout]

Set value in the InputText

[errant trout]

It's just your IDE being annoying, idk why people have been getting it recently though

The code should still run fine unless your IDE's explicitly blocking it

(In which case there should be some "ignore" button, but it varies)

[fathom cedar]

oh okay

[hushed pebble]

thanks, i will try later

[hushed pebble]

nelo

[errant trout]

That's me

[hushed pebble]

where do i put title in modals

[errant trout]

Inside super init

[hushed pebble]

previously i putted it like this:
modal = Review(title="Отзыв")
await interaction.response.send_modal(modal)

but now i need to do prefix command so idk where to put

[errant trout]

In prefix commands, you have to create a button and use that button press to send the modal

Or select, basically it has to be from an interaction

[hushed pebble]

maybe i can put it in View?

class UpdatesView(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()

        self.add_item(Update())

[errant trout]

No, modals can't be added to views

They are separate

[hushed pebble]

why?

[errant trout]

Because they're different concepts

[hushed pebble]

i tried with dropdown menu and it worked

i guess they are also different concepts

[errant trout]

Dropdown can be added to a view, yes

But modals and views exist separately

Views are a Pycord concept, on discord everything is a "Component" - Modals are outside of this

[hushed pebble]

oh well it is harder that i guessed

[little cobalt]

its not hard

its really easy

[hushed pebble]

dont thing so

after i will create button it will show me thousands more errors

[errant trout]

There's also the examples on the repo if you wanna see how it comes together

[rugged lodge]

Here's the modal dialogs example.

[little cobalt]

Now I wonder how you code your stuff

[main carbon]

quick question, is this not how i use once parameter?

    @discord.Cog.listener(once=True)
    async def on_ready(self):

[hushed pebble]

how can i code no button so when you will click it it will delete message

[errant trout]

It should be

[errant trout]

Delete the button message? Or another one

[hushed pebble]

delete the message with button

[errant trout]

Try interaction.delete_original_response

(You might need to defer first)

[hushed pebble]

do i need to put () at the end?

thanks it worked!

[errant trout]

Allgood

[main carbon]

i got
discord.errors.ExtensionFailed: Extension 'modules.parent' raised an error: TypeError: Cog.listener() got an unexpected keyword argument 'once'
though i'm using py-cord==2.5.0

[errant trout]

Uhhh hold on

[errant trout]

I'm.... amazed, we never added it to the decorator....

[main carbon]

lmao

[errant trout]

There's still @bot.listen... but jeez insane we didn't notice that

[main carbon]

i'll wait for the update then, thanks

[errant trout]

If you want you could probably just implement it yourself by editing cog.py

Should be a 2 line edit

[main carbon]

i’ll try tmr cuz i’m going to sleep soon, thanks!

[noble flax]

Does "app_commands" not exist in py-cord?

[errant trout]

No, we have our own slash command structure

[noble flax]

Trying to create my own autocomplete from an example as I've failed horriblity at trying to implement one myself

[errant trout]

Oh autocomplete should be easy

[noble flax]

Need to create a fuzzy autocomplete and failing horribly lol

[errant trout]

Maybe use regex?

[noble flax]

I've used "basic" autocomplete and got that working but really need a fuzzy one, which I'm struggling to create

[errant trout]

Or some fuzzy search library

[sage tendon]

magic weapon .startswith()

[rugged lodge]

Here's the slash autocomplete example.

[noble flax]

I've used fuzzywuzzy but I can't get the function to work

[errant trout]

This shows how to implement your own function

[noble flax]

Much appreciated sir/madam

[grizzled loom]

i dont think this failed because you were typehinting, but because you were typehinting incorrect.
try "ctx: discord.ApplicationContext" instead.

[fathom cedar]

okkk

[hushed pebble]

@errant trout
can u help me with edit button?

idk how to do it

[errant trout]

Do what

If you're on 2.5, use interaction.edit

[hushed pebble]

class UpdatesSubmitView(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        self.value = None

    @discord.ui.button(label='Yes', style=discord.ButtonStyle.success)
    async def yes_button(self, button: discord.ui.Button, interaction: discord.Interaction):
        if interaction.guild.id == 1214612682951491645 and not interaction.user.bot:
            await interaction.followup.send("hello world")

    @discord.ui.button(label='Edit', style=discord.ButtonStyle.grey)
    async def no_button(self, button: discord.ui.Button, interaction: discord.Interaction):
        #what to write there?
        ...

    @discord.ui.button(label='No', style=discord.ButtonStyle.danger)
    async def no_button(self, button: discord.ui.Button, interaction: discord.Interaction):
        await interaction.response.defer()
        await interaction.delete_original_response()


class Update(Modal):
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs) -> None:
        super().__init__(
            discord.ui.InputText(
                style=discord.InputTextStyle.long,
                label="Обновление",
                required=True,
                placeholder="Введите новое обновление..",
            ),
            *args,
            **kwargs,
        )
    
    async def callback(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):
        embed = discord.Embed(title="Ваше обновление было написанно! Опубликовать?", description=
f"""
**Вот так выглядит ваш текст:**
{self.children[0].value}
""", color=discord.Colour.blurple(), timestamp=interaction.message.created_at)
        embed.set_footer(text="Kodart")
        view = UpdatesSubmitView()
        await interaction.response.send_message(embed=embed, view=view)

i need that when i will click on edit button it will give me back the inputtext

[errant trout]

Like, the modal?

You're looking for interaction.response.send_modal

[sage tendon]

Anything I need to change when I convert a bridge bot to a slash bot? I know the bot definition has to change (to what?), but anything else?

[errant trout]

Uhh just check through what decorators you're using for commands

If you still want prefix commands, use ext.commands.Bot

[sage tendon]

no, only slash

[errant trout]

Then discord.Bot is fine

[sage tendon]

I'm using BridgeBot right now I think

[errant trout]

Yeah, BridgeBot supports all commands and is an extension of ext.commands.Bot

[sage tendon]

and for decorators I think I only have bridge_command (obvious change) and @option so that's not much to change

[errant trout]

Yeah that's all really

Basically just give it a go and debug any straggling errors

[hushed pebble]

yes, i want that you can write firstly in modal then it will ask
do you want to send it
YES|EDIT|NO
if you will click on edit it will bring back you to modal

[errant trout]

Right, so your edit button can send the same modal with their old input already set

Looking at your Update code, you actually support this already - just pass value as their old input

Oh actually not quite

I'd recommend adding a new argument to update, then setting value in InputText

[hushed pebble]

i didnt really understood what you said

[errant trout]

I'll break it down a bit more

To pre-fill an InputText box, you need to set the value attribute (like you already have placeholder etc)

To do this in your Modal subclass, I would recommend adding a new argument to init where you can specify the user's previous input

(I'm going on the assumption that you want to use the same Update modal)

[hushed pebble]

how can i do this?

[errant trout]

Where you have *args, **kwargs, before that you can just add another parameter

[hushed pebble]

value=previous_input if previous_input else None

?

[errant trout]

You can just default previous_input to None

Won't have to use that if/else

[hushed pebble]

and in edit i will put this?

@discord.ui.button(label='Edit', style=discord.ButtonStyle.grey)
    async def edit_button(self, button: discord.ui.Button, interaction: discord.Interaction):
        await interaction.response.edit_message(view=None)
        view = Update(previous_input=self.previous_input)
        await view.edit_callback(interaction, self.previous_input)

[errant trout]

Uhhhhh

If you want to send a modal, you have to use response.send_modal and no other responses

I'd recommend removing the view after the modal is submitted with some other method

[hushed pebble]

view = Update(previous_input=self.previous_input)
await view.response.send_modal(interaction, self.previous_input)

like this?

[errant trout]

interaction.response

send_modal only takes the modal object

[hushed pebble]

but i need modal

[rugged lodge]

Searched in pycord

discord.InteractionResponse.send_modal

[errant trout]

What else are you trying to do

[hushed pebble]

i guess i understood

@discord.ui.button(label='Edit', style=discord.ButtonStyle.grey)
    async def edit_button(self, button: discord.ui.Button, interaction: discord.Interaction):
        view = Update(interaction, previous_input=self.previous_input)
        await interaction.response.send_modal(view)

[errant trout]

Yep you got it, probably

[hushed pebble]

yes, but theres one mistake

how do i get previous_input??

[errant trout]

Ah, from the old modal?

[hushed pebble]

ye

[errant trout]

You're gonna have to chain it - repeat the argument part for UpdatesSubmitView to pass it through

(To access it in modal, something like self.children[0].value)

[hushed pebble]

i tried it but not working

[errant trout]

it should be the same logic, in theory

[hushed pebble]

maybe json file?

[errant trout]

What did you try

[hushed pebble]

previous_input = children value

[errant trout]

Did you actually make the param

[hushed pebble]

ye

[sage tendon]

whats the equivalent of this well, without bridge?

@commands.has_permissions(ban_members=True) right?

and whats the difference to this?

[shell radish]

one of them sets the slash command's permissions with discord's and commands performs an internal check

[sage tendon]

thx

ahw cmon surely there is a way

(it cant resolve ctx)

[shell radish]

None and handle it internally

[sage tendon]

yea thats how i do it rn

[sage tendon]

okay i might be dumb but i have taken a brief= kwarg into my bot from an old codebase and i just learnt that SlashCommand doesnt even have that kwarg???

am i dumb lol

[shell radish]

never heard of it

[sage tendon]

yea its description=

[errant trout]

because ctx is defined on the same line

oh channel didn't scroll oops

[errant trout]

more specifically, it's the text used for the builtin help command as an alternative for the full description

[sage tendon]

ahh, thats probably where it stems from

[granite pier]

there is always a way, you can overwrite some things in the interaction but is there a point? haha

[edgy nest]

just user = user or ctx.author

[sage tendon]

wont that make it a bool?

[granite pier]

nah

[sage tendon]

thats new

[granite pier]

user = user or user2 # if user is None then user2, if both are None then None
username  = user and user.name # if user is None then None else user.name

[errant trout]

the second would be a bool

oh wait wrong syntax fair enough

[sage tendon]

if someone used the bottom one in my codebase id smack them

that is just awful

[granite pier]

I'm pretty sure I've seen that going through pycord lib

but idk

it's useful sometimes

[deft kestrel]

discord api down?

[sage tendon]

no

[lapis dock]

Good place to check is here https://discordstatus.com/

[hushed pebble]

it finally worked thanks!!!!

[crystal patrol]

guys how can i using decision if the arg1 is empty in the bot command?

[lofty parcel]

What you asked makes no sense.

[crystal patrol]

okay

[lofty parcel]

Ask again.

[crystal patrol]

that was my ask

ty

[lofty parcel]

What?

Mk...

[trail tiger]

Hey, looking to have the bot send a message to a user when joining a server, but after they have completed onboarding/accepted rules. I don't see an obvious way to do that, is there an existing event like "completed_onboarding" or will I need to make my own way detect that?

[lofty parcel]

on_member_update catches that.

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api/events.html#discord.on_member_update

This is discord.Member.pending on the docs.

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api/models.html#discord.Member.pending

[trail tiger]

nice! thanks so much!

knew I had to be missing something

[hushed pebble]

guys is there any way so bot will message everyone who is on the same guild as bot?

i want to create news command, and it will work like this:
im sending message to bot and this bot will send to all people that are in same guild about those news

[lofty parcel]

Mass DMing is against the Devs ToS.

[hushed pebble]

ok i will think something another

[median gorge]

How to put descriptions on the place that written "No description provided"? I want to describe each arguments.

[sage tendon]

description= in each option

[little cobalt]

you have to use option for it

[rugged lodge]

Here's the slash options example.

[sage tendon]

mee6 be like nope don't care

[median gorge]

thank you and Toothy for your supports!!　It worked!!

[fervent surge]

Why is it semingly impossible to manually invoke the function for a bridge command?

[sage tendon]

like?

[fervent surge]

I finally got it to work after mutiple trial and error attempts, digging through multiple source code files, etc.

[sage tendon]

what do you even want to do lol

[fervent surge]

I have to type out this long thing for it to actually work

await self.userinfo_cmd.slash_variant.callback(self, ctx, user=str(member.id))

[fervent surge]

user context menu command

[sage tendon]

this?

[fervent surge]

yes

basically bridging it

[sage tendon]

man no idea

but that seems wrong

[fervent surge]

but when I went to convert my old function to a bridge command it fucked it up

when you try to execute the actual function

its not the function, but a BridgeCommand object instead

which has an invoke function, but wont allow you to pass arguments

[fervent surge]

so I had to dig around in the code and find this

[fickle salmon]

I just put the code in another method that's not a command and cell that

[errant trout]

I personally abuse process_commands by editing an existing message's data

[lofty hedge]

I got a lot of data I am trying to display and im not quite sure how i want to do this. So, its a command called gamestats which users gamestats for specific game. I don't know if i should use autocomplete, or what anyone got ideas?

It returns wins, losses, ties, tie amount, amoutn won, amount loss, current win streak, highest win streak. so just not sure what would make the most sense when displaying the data.

[sage tendon]

autocomplete for which part

[lofty hedge]

so /gamestats is the command. I want this as easy for the user as possible. So, maybe I could do /gamestats commandname and have that autocomplete? Im assuming teh way autocomplete works is by typing in a few characters it would help fill the rest for user for convenience.

Making it with buttons i dont think would make sense even if done with left and right arrow cause there's like 9 or so games, which im looking to expand on.

[sage tendon]

again, what do you even want to autocomplete

[lofty hedge]

the game name

[sage tendon]

make choices

[lofty hedge]

is the limit of choices still 25?

[sage tendon]

if not, yes, best way is autocomplete

if you have more than 25 i mean

[round heart]

Any definitive examples of translations? I didn't see any in the examples folder (at least by name)

[shell radish]

it’s in the guide

it’s called localization

[round heart]

Ah, I used 'translation'. I should have recalled localization (I did it for 10 effing years)

tyty, btw

[rugged lodge]

Here's the slash cog groups example.

[errant trout]

there's also pycord-i18n which allows loading from json instead

[little cobalt]

I did it for every command

[errant trout]

well

good on you ig

[sage tendon]

why i18n?

i remember

[errant trout]

Internationalization, 18 letters between

[swift egret]

why am I spammed with those?
haven't updated pycord since

[sage tendon]

vsc thinks its smarter than you

it isnt

or rather, pylance does

[round heart]

Was just looking at that, but looks like it’s geared more towards slash commands specifically vs general localization of arbitrary Views (eg from button press)

Posted a question in Doru’s discord, though

[shell radish]

Sometimes some words like "localization" or "internationalization" are so long that writing them many times in one text is quite tiresome.

Let's consider a word too long, if its length is strictly more than 10 characters. All too long words should be replaced with a special abbreviation.

This abbreviation is made like this: we write down the first and the last letter of a word and between them we write the number of letters between the first and the last letters. That number is in decimal system and doesn't contain any leading zeroes.

Thus, "localization" will be spelt as "l10n", and "internationalization" will be spelt as "i18n".
Source: "Way Too Long Words" (codeforces.com)

[edgy nest]

i made my own

[swift egret]

how can I get the version of the already installed pycord on my system? using linux

[fervent surge]

I prefer to use less functions, so I'll just stick with what I've found

[little cobalt]

pip show py-cord

[swift egret]

I just found that answer 5 seconds ago

thanks!

[trail tiger]

I'm trying to make a bot that does player counter for a game, that will periodically check how many players are online and update an embed in discord.
Where would be the best place for this loop? right now I have it in on_ready with a while True: ... await asyncio.sleep(600) does that seem like the right place?

[lofty parcel]

God. No. That's not how you should do it.

Use tasks.

[rugged lodge]

Here's the background task example.

[trail tiger]

noice, I'm just re-writing a bot in pychord from discord.py cause me and another guy could not get slash commands to work in it

[versed root]

have any way to reload the command from cogs? i need to cycle the guild and reload, because when i restart the slash command did not reload

[versed root]

btw when i use reload_extension, the slash command also not reload on some server

[high pilot]

how do i make a dynamic arguement like i have an arguement which has select option. if the user lets say selects select 1 then the command must be required else no

[sage tendon]

thats not a thing, yet at least

if i understand you correctly

[high pilot]

yes okay thanks

one more thing , is it possible to add like 2 fields in a modal but atleast one is required

both cant be empty

[high pilot]

or a modal check

[little cobalt]

no

[high pilot]

like view.interaction_check

[little cobalt]

but you can add a default value at it with something like "None"

[high pilot]

well ?

this also not yet?

[errant trout]

interaction check only applies after it's sent

[high pilot]

yes i understand that can i have it like if both fields empty i dont let the modal be submitted?

after clicking on submit

[errant trout]

it's not possible, no

i'd recommend check -> if they are both empty, display a button to resend the modal

[high pilot]

okay will do

db = TicketDB()``` I have everything in the database but I don't know how to transfer the names into the option

[lofty parcel]

Iterate over your results and create the list of SelectOptions?...

[little cobalt]

Havent you already created a thread for it?

[rare marlin]

yes, I don't know how to transfer the names from the database

[lofty parcel]

...

[rare marlin]

?

[little cobalt]

stay in one channel pls

[rare marlin]

?

[sage tendon]

stay here or in your ticket

/ post

[lone hound]

Does asyncio.sleep() pauses my code just liketime.sleep()?

[lofty parcel]

Yes

[lone hound]

ok, thanks!

[finite plover]

how to send the message after async for?

[lofty parcel]

add it below?

[finite plover]

but uh

uh

youre right

[lofty parcel]

kek?

[finite plover]

yeah

[lofty parcel]

dunno what you were expecting lol

[finite plover]

idk

[finite plover]

So, how to send the message in log channel for one guild? I meant how to send the message about 1 guild, not channel? 🤔

[steep cliff]

Grammar's so bad I don't even know what you're asking for

[finite plover]

I dont know how to describe

[steep cliff]

well then I don't know what to answer

[finite plover]

And i dont know how to describe lol

[arctic plover]

Almost all of my commands have a description added normally, but two of them do not have it, although it is written in the code. Why?

[steep cliff]

it's spelled description, but in the code you missed the r

[arctic plover]

oops

😅

thanks you

[finite plover]

Oh okay when channels are deleted, the bot should send one message that someone deleted chats

[edgy nest]

if i were you i would just listen for audit log events instead of the actual delete event

or somehow pair them together

[high pilot]

never did anything to italicize that for fulfilling line

[shell radish]

the username has an underscore

[rugged lodge]

Searched in pycord

discord.utils.escape_markdown

[shell radish]

you can use that on the username part

[high pilot]

oh my god

sillyme

thank you

[shell radish]

np

[glad totem]

can i restrict a bot to only work in a channel list?

[versed root]

actually have any way to reload cogs at all server?

when i use reload_extension, some server have not reload. btw i have wait a day

[little cobalt]

which commands do you use?

[versed root]

the reload command?

[little cobalt]

no

at your bot..

[versed root]

check the bot setting

and other

i have update the command to repair bug

sorry my broken english

[versed root]

like setting bot, view help command

[little cobalt]

?

[versed root]

sorry, i don't understand

[boreal sky]

How do I get the slash command associated with a message?

I basically just want to see what command led to a message being created

[rugged lodge]

Searched in pycord

discord.Message.interaction
discord.MessageType.interaction_premium_upsell

[shell radish]

@boreal sky ^

[rugged lodge]

Searched in pycord

discord.MessageInteraction
discord.MessageInteraction.data
discord.MessageInteraction.id
discord.MessageInteraction.name
discord.MessageInteraction.type
discord.MessageInteraction.user
discord.Message.interaction
discord.MessageType.interaction_premium_upsell
discord.interactions.MessageInteraction

[boreal sky]

For some reason it just kept returning None

That's the first thing I had tried

I also tried Message.application but that wasn't it either it seems lol

[shell radish]

maybe you’re looking at the wrong message?

[boreal sky]

Uh... There's no other message to look at

[shell radish]

i don’t think this has anything to do with it, but do you have the message content intent enabled?

[boreal sky]

I do

Well, considering I use it in other places

[shell radish]

are you sure you the message you are checking for is the correct message

[boreal sky]

I mean all I'm doing is trying to do is print the interaction name so far

and the only message that ever gets sent is one spawned from a command

during testing, I mean

but even if it did error, I'd be able to see the message that succeeded if such a message existed

uh... never mind, I guess... I tried again and now it's working, I wonder what I did wrong beforehand...

very weird

[shell radish]

🪄

[boreal sky]

I hate when that happens lol

[boreal sky]

Uh... How is it possible for this to result in a timedelta of about -2 days?

discord.Object(message.interaction.id).created_at - message.created_at

Latest resulted in -1 day, 23:59:59.270000

[sage tendon]

do it the other way around

[boreal sky]

huh... I didn't think about that, I still don't understand how it resulted in that but 🥴 I guess that somehow solved the problem

you'd have thought it'd be like negative some amount of time less than a second

very strange

[sage tendon]

it literally is

[boreal sky]

strange or less than a second

[boreal sky]

whose absolute is less than a second, rather

[sage tendon]

less than a second

[boreal sky]

that's -2 days

no?

[sage tendon]

no

it's 630ms

[boreal sky]

\🤔

say again

[sage tendon]

it's 630ms

It's because of how datetime works, simply said

[boreal sky]

I assume you mean 730

In [8]: timedelta(seconds=-0.730)
Out[8]: datetime.timedelta(days=-1, seconds=86399, microseconds=270000)

that is unnecessarily confusing

[sage tendon]

oh, yea

well it's not confusing at all

it's how datetime works

you can do the subtraction you initially had, and just display the milliseconds component from it

you are just printing it as a datetime which causes that

Though, your initial subtraction is still wrong because it has the values backwards, so, yea

the real difference on that one would be 270ms

[boreal sky]

yeah but days being -1 confuses the heck out of me

like is days the only thing that can be negative?

like what you add -1 days to 86399 seconds and 270000 ms?

I think that's what it is

so weird

[sage tendon]

see it like day 1, day -1

[boreal sky]

I feel like that makes more sense for datetime than it does timedelta

[sage tendon]

datetime is the achiless heel of every dev

[subtle moth]

Can someone tell me the ratelimit on how many slash commands can be registered in an interval

[shell radish]

200 in one day

[sage tendon]

how many can a bot have registered max?

[little cobalt]

if you restart a bot two times which got 100 slash commands

[shell radish]

?tag cmd-limits

[limber wagon]

You can have 100 commands, and each command can have up to 25 sub-command groups. Each sub-command group can have up to 25 sub-commands.

100 x 25 x 25 = 62.5k

Of course, "slash commands can have a maximum of 4000 characters for combined name, description, and value properties for each command and its subcommands and groups", so you're not likely to hit that 62.5k command limit

This can be doubled again with guild commands

[sage tendon]

damn okay

[subtle moth]

thanks

[lone hound]

Hi! To edit a guild channel's name i need to do:

channel = ctx.guild.get_channel(<channel id>)

await channel.edit(name='New channel name')

or something like that?

[sage tendon]

Are you doing that in a command?

also, https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/models.html#channels

and yes, that would work, but if you are doing it in a command, you dont need the channel = part because you can do that with an option

[little cobalt]

keep in mind that channels got a really bad ratelimit

[sage tendon]

oh really?

[little cobalt]

ye

[sage tendon]

how much

[little cobalt]

The last time I checked it was 2 times every 10 Minutes

[sage tendon]

oh wow, thats shit

[errant trout]

discord got tired of people using them for live stats

[daring grove]

Ive put two commands on my bot, one of them appears and one of them doesnt and I cant see the problem - is discord taking a long to update it?

[little cobalt]

can you show some code?

[daring grove]

It showed up now, for some reason discord took 20 minutes

[sage tendon]

restart your discord when making a new command

[daring grove]

Tried that but it still wasn't there

[quick knot]

anyone else with this issue, all i see when i look it up is 4 yr old posts about the windows certif experation in 2020
aiohttp.client_exceptions.ClientConnectorCertificateError: Cannot connect to host discord.com:443 ssl:True [SSLCertVerificationError: (1, '[SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: unable to get local issuer certificate (_ssl.c:1000)')]

[shell radish]

OS?

[quick knot]

win 11

done some of the fixes like https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/issues/4159

[shell radish]

I don't use windows, can't help you

[quick knot]

ubuntu?

[quick knot]

alright, go to dicord.com and donwload and install the certificate

for anyone else

[edgy nest]

this solution is more recommended as you probaby shouldn't be downloading them like that

[sullen mauve]

How to make a ban command?

[little cobalt]

Have you tried to find something at google to it?

[sullen mauve]

Look and yes but it's a bit complicated

[arctic plover]

How can I disable all the buttons of this message knowing the message id?

[errant trout]

1. fetch message (you need channel ID too)
2. use View.from_message(message)
3. view.disable_all_items()
4. edit message with the updated view

[arctic plover]

thanks

[plucky palm]

Looks like I forgot to update pycord to 2.5.0 and when I did every single bridge command was broken

It seems to be because now bridge commands use BridgeOption instead of usual Option, so @option decorator now just doesn't work

Is there a decorator for BridgeOption or do I need to make a decorator myself now?

Nvm, figured out it's not BridgeOption's fault but something else, though still not sure what it is

Throws Converting to "Option" failed for parameter "..."

[errant trout]

is there a full traceback

(when you import bridge, the default option objects redirect to their bridge variants)

[errant trout]

oh

[errant trout]

...as per PR #2252 you have to use BridgeOption instead of Option

which is a major breaking change so it's rather concerning that this wasn't talked about more...

[plucky palm]

and I use @option

so do I need to make a workaround now?

[errant trout]

sorry, this entire thing was very poorly planned out
if you want you can reimplement the old logic - at the bottom of discord/ext/bridge/core.py, add these two lines py discord.commands.options.Option = BridgeOption discord.Option = BridgeOption

[plucky palm]

ty

[raven moth]

how do i add 2 buttons to an embed to function as like yes/no buttons? Sounds pretty simple to me but i cant seem to figure it out w the documentation rn

[sage tendon]

views

one view, to be precise

[raven moth]

that only confused me more 😅

[sage tendon]

look up views in the guides

[raven moth]

the only thing i can seem to find with that is how to create a button? I have got that figured out i just dont rlly know how to send it in the channel

[sage tendon]

send it with your ctx.respond

view=view

should all be in the guide

[raven moth]

i found it, got buttons appearing now, now i cant seem to figure out how to await the button click? I would have assumed this would use but.wait_for or ctx.wait for but i cant find anything regarding buttons or views on those docs?

[sage tendon]

the callback of the button contains the function called when pressing it

example of my yes/no view

[raven moth]

idk if im just stupid or i need sleep or both but i dont understand any docs rn

[sage tendon]

i literally sent you the code how you can do it

[raven moth]

im just very confused how i should implement this code into my codebase. ill be honest i dont have a ton of experience with classes but should i put this in a seperate file and import it? I already have the commands in a class inside a cog, can i just add this code as functions in my existing class?

i think i just need sleep mabye but idk

im just very confused rn

[shell radish]

you don't need to use classes if you don't want to

[raven moth]

i currently have this weird cluster of code but it works apart from listening for the buttonpress

@commands.slash_command(name='changeorigin',
                            description='Change your origin in the server')
    async def change_origin(self, ctx):
        embed = discord.Embed(title="Are you sure?", color=0xF66946)
        embed.add_field(name='Are you sure you want to do this? The action CANNOT be reversed however you can choose the same origin again', value='')
        yes_button = discord.ui.Button(label="Continue", style=discord.ButtonStyle.danger)
        no_button = discord.ui.Button(label="Cancel", style=discord.ButtonStyle.green)
        view = discord.ui.View()
        view.add_item(yes_button)
        view.add_item(no_button)
        message = await ctx.respond(embed=embed, view=view)
        interaction = await discord.Interaction()
        print(interaction)
        # Wait for the user to click one of the buttons
        if interaction == "Continue":
            await interaction.respond(content="You clicked 'Continue'!")
            # Perform your action here
        elif interaction == "Cancel":
            await interaction.respond(content="You clicked 'Cancel'!")
        else:
            print(F"Interaction output: {interaction}")

[raven moth]

i would assume so, i have been trying to make it work just inside the command itself as you can see from my code. But i dont know what functions to use and i am trying to understand the documentation but i guess i suck at reading

i just dont rlly know where to look

i thought mabye https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/ui_kit.html#discord.ui.View.interaction_check but that just seems to get called when the view gets generated not pressed?

[sage tendon]

the button callback gets called when a button is pressed

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/ui_kit.html#discord.ui.Button.callback

i have no idea how to "assign" it a callback without just subclassing the view tho
its just the easiest and cleanest imo

[raven moth]

idk its just what im used to with the old commands and bot.wait_for('message') but it doesnt seem to work the same way i guess

[sage tendon]

w..what

[raven moth]

thats me trying to figure it out but that code doesnt even make sense to me

[sage tendon]

just use mine

[raven moth]

i have this now

await ctx.respond(embed=embed, view=view)
        yes = await yes_button.callback(ctx.author)
        print(yes)
        no = await no_button.callback(ctx.author)
        print(no)
        print("callback was called")

but it just gets ran instantly, prints None twice

[sage tendon]

that makes zero sense

are you new to python by any chance

[lofty parcel]

What the fuck

[raven moth]

no. I just dont understand this documentation. I would not call myself an expert and i am kinda feeling in the dark when it comes to awaiting stuff and threading. Also its just a side hobby for me and i dont spend much time on it

But rn i just dont even know what im supposed to do so im just trying whatever i guess

idk tempted to just give up and use text promts again

cause i understand those

[sage tendon]

just copy my code lol

its right there

[lofty parcel]

You don't understsnd Object Orientated Programming.

It's not the documentation.

[raven moth]

i guess? Idk

Almost all my knowledge in python is data handling/SQL

[lofty parcel]

You must learn OOP before handling pycord.

The whole library is OOP based.

I understand this isn't the field you're used to, but you must learn it before using pycord to avoid frustration and not understanding the docs.

[sage tendon]

(views as they are now are still not the most intuitive thing in the world tho let that be said)

[raven moth]

i am one to more wing it and just figure it out tbh. Like i understand that i dont fully grasp how OOP works but its not like this is my first time working with pycord. Most stuff i understand how it works but some stuff i just dont grasp i guess

[lofty parcel]

The repo is full of examples.

If you want that and makes it easier for you to understand.

[rugged lodge]

Here's the confirm example.

[raven moth]

okay so i copied the example code without changing anything but if i do this

view = Confirm()
        await ctx.respond(embed=embed, view=view)
        output = await view.wait()
        print(output)

i get false regardless of the input? Even though i copied the entire class just like in the example

[sage tendon]

what even is view.wait

why do you have stuff after ctx.respond

[raven moth]

thats the same as in the example code

[sage tendon]

hm

are you even pressing the button

[raven moth]

yes ofc, if i dont press the button the code doesnt even run

[shell radish]

you should get view.value

[raven moth]

oh yeh

i see

i also see it in the example now, my bad

[rugged lodge]

[stray pasture]

is there a way to recover from this error (reconnect ?): ```discord.errors.DiscordServerError: 503 Service Unavailable (error code: 0): upstream connect error or disconnect/reset before headers. reset reason: connection termination

The current behavior the bot just crashes and closes

[red mist]

I'm guessing you're having a very unstable connection; you might wanna checkout resuming a session.

503 indicates a server is / was not able to handle a request or that it's temporary down.

[glad totem]

using a slash command can i set the arguments to be a list of an object? specifically it would be /command <int> <string> <string>, <int> <string> <string>, ...

[round heart]

Not really. Best you could do would be to make optional args for those extra ones, but the UX won’t be super great (especially if users forget them)

[deft kestrel]

@bot.slash_command(description="Set Reminder channel") async def setreminder(ctx, channel: discord.TextChannel, date, text):
how to put a server restriction to use this command? like: just server ID: 1111 can see this command

[shell radish]

add the guilds_id kwarg to the decorator:

@bot.slash_command(…, guilds_id=[1234567890])```

[glad totem]

hmm ok guess ill just take the entire arg in as a string and ',' split it

[deft kestrel]

how to get user avatar in interaction?

[glad totem]

if i want my bot to handle slash commands do i need to enable any permissions besides sending messages?

[stray pasture]

so it means the discord server was down ? I am already handling the on_resumed and the on_shard_connect

But how can I recover from DiscordServerError: 503 ?

I can always run the bot in endless loop (if it crashes) I do bot.stop() and after bot.start(), but not sure this is the ideal solution

The error 503 is not happening often, maybe once each fiew weeks. But each time the bot goes down

[glad totem]

@shell radish hallo

[shell radish]

first of all, the docs' getting started guide is kinda old, so we don't use it. We try to update https://guide.pycord.dev/ instead. The solution to your problem can be found in the "bots" section in your application.

[glad totem]

ah ty ill use the new page and ohhh the toggle?

[shell radish]

yup

[glad totem]

groovy its working now

tyvm!

[glad totem]

btw the main goal of this bot is to handle some slash commands and then send messages, if possible slightly stylized ones in response. do i need to add any other perms?

[shell radish]

I don't know what you're current permissions are

[glad totem]

rn i have it bot, messages.read and applications.commands for scopes and then admin for bot perms in OAuth2, but id like to limit the bot perms to only whats needed

[shell radish]

you want to uncheck messages.read that is for something else entirely...

for permission, administrator is fine for testing, I don't think you would need anything other than "Send Messages," "Embed Links," "Read message History," "Use External Emojis," and "Add Reactions."

[glad totem]

ah it does not deal with letting the bot read messages? xd ok ty ill give that a try

[shell radish]

nope, and I'm too lazy to explain it

[glad totem]

lol thats fine

[glad totem]

do i have to reinvite the bot everytime i change the code? i got the first command to work, i added a second, stopped and started the bot but the second command isnt showing up

[lofty parcel]

No

[lofty parcel]

Refresh your client.

[glad totem]

ah it just takes time, weird that i can run a command and it cna reconigze its changed but doesnt update with the change right away xd

[glad totem]

can i restrict a command to a category rather than just one channel? i tried copying the id of the category and putting it in guild_ids property but i got an error that discord.errors.Forbidden: 403 Forbidden (error code: 50001): Missing Access

[lofty parcel]

Because guild_ids takes guild ids...

You either implement an internal check or edit the command permissions on the integration settings of your server

[glad totem]

no idea how id do either of those. the issue is that we use a ticket system so channels would be created as the bot is running

[glad totem]

i see that theres a discord.CategoryChannel that seems like it might be able to help but im not sure how to utilze/call on it

[lofty parcel]

Integrations are managed on your server settings. Server settings > Integrations > Your bot > The command > add/remove channels or categories

[crystal patrol]

hey guys how can i use if isinstance when arguments is missing or arguments not included?

[lofty parcel]

if isinstance(error, commands.MissingArguments)

?

[crystal patrol]

Sorry, i mean required arguments, so when people type it without arguments it will showing the usage of the arguments

[lofty parcel]

Yes, catch the error, reply with whatever you want...

[crystal patrol]

how can i catch the error, can u provide it? i already using if isinstance abot required arguments, but its keeping showing error required arguments on the console, and not showing the ctx.send

[lofty parcel]

Showing your code would be helpful

[crystal patrol]

Aight

@bot.command()
async def webscrapp(ctx, website):
    """Scrapping Usage : ht!webscrapp [url link]"""
    if isinstance(website, commands.MissingRequiredArgument):
        await ctx.reply("Usage ht!webscrapp [url link]")

    await ctx.send("Processing")
    req = requests.get(website)
    with open("scrapped.txt", "w") as files:
        files.write(req.text)
    await ctx.send(file=discord.File("scrapped.txt"))

[lofty parcel]

the hell is that supposed to be

commands.MissingRequiredArgument is an error

It's raised when an arg is missing

You're supposed to create an on_command_error listener and catch it and reply accordingly there

[crystal patrol]

Can u provide me the example?

on_command_error is callback?

[lofty parcel]

No, an event

You listen to that event

Assuming you'd do this in a cog:

@commands.Cog.listener()
async def on_command_error(self, ctx, error):
    if isinstance(error, commands.MissingRequiredArgument):
    await ctx.send("You are missing a required argument")

[crystal patrol]

So i cant do in specific command, like throw a usage of the specific command

But thanks for the example

[lofty parcel]

Uhhh

I think you can?

Try

@webscrapp.error
async def webscrapp_error(self, ctx, error):
    if isinstance(...):
          ....

Below your command.

[crystal patrol]

Im confusing

[lofty parcel]

?

[crystal patrol]

So i need to create this new event?

[red mist]

Just do on a client disconnect check why and then turn back on in this case

[deft hull]

How do you guys host your bots?

[little cobalt]

At a Raspberry Pi

[deft hull]

damn

What if I don't have one

[round heart]

Tag not found.

Did you mean...
closing

[deft hull]

How do you add a slash command group in a cog?

I could just import bot from the main file but I don't think that'll be very practical

[lofty parcel]

discord.slash_command

[rugged lodge]

Here's the slash cog groups example.

[little cobalt]

@deft hull

[deft hull]

thank you 👍

[grizzled loom]

how did you call this exactly?

never mind, saw it by clicking on it

wasnt aware an example existed for this case

[chilly crow]

Hey, I'm trying since like the last hour to figure out how to make a url button work, but also with a view class I can't get it to work. Im very new to python still

@discord.slash_command(name='userinfo', description='Provides information about a Discord Member')
    async def get_user_info_cmd(self, ctx, member: discord.Option(discord.Member) = None):
        target = member if member else ctx.author
        view = discord.ui.View
        btn = discord.ui.Button(label='View', style=discord.ButtonStyle.link, url="https://cdn.discordapp.com")
        view.add_item(self, item=btn)
        await ctx.respond(embed=get_user_info_embed(target), view=view, ephemeral=True)```

**Edit: got it!**

[chilly crow]

Why is embed.set_image(url=member.banner.url) not working?

[little cobalt]

"NoneType"

Read the error ;3

[chilly crow]

what that mean?

Idk why it says my banner is none

it's clearly not

[little cobalt]

You have to fetch the user to get the Banner

[edgy nest]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/models.html#discord.User.banner

[little cobalt]

^

[chilly crow]

how would I do that tho?

[edgy nest]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/models.html#discord.User.banner

[chilly crow]

I'm trying my best to figure it out but I'm always getting some error like this

Please give me a code example on how to fetch a user from their id

user = await discord.Client.get_or_fetch_user(self.bot, member.id)
I tested so many things

[errant trout]

discord.Client or discord.Bot refers to your bot variable

[chilly crow]

but what do I need to put there

what does it want from me

[errant trout]

you've set a bot variable in your code, right...

[chilly crow]

yes

[errant trout]

then just use that

[chilly crow]

it's in a different file tho

[errant trout]

this is a cog, right?

[chilly crow]

correct

so main.bot.get... works?

[errant trout]

and what's the first thing you set in your cog's __init__

[chilly crow]

self.bot = bot

[errant trout]

right

so now access that from the command

[chilly crow]

this is outside of the class tho

[errant trout]

then pass it through

if it's outside, you create a new parameter to send it in

[chilly crow]

Or no wait, I actually added it to the class as async function

async def get_user_info_embed(self, member: discord.Member):

I tried to pass it through but it always just gives me none

import discord
from discord.ext import commands
import views.lookupUser


class UserInfo(commands.Cog):

    # this is a special method that is called when the cog is loaded
    def __init__(self, bot):
        self.bot = bot

    @discord.slash_command(name='userinfo', description='Provides information about a Discord Member')
    async def get_user_info_cmd(self, ctx, member: discord.Option(discord.Member) = None):
        target = member if member else ctx.author
        view = views.lookupUser.lookupUserBTN()
        view.add_item(await views.lookupUser.lookupUserBTN().button(url=f'https://discordlookup.com/user/{target.id}'))
        await ctx.respond(embed=get_user_info_embed(bots=self.bot, member=target), view=view, ephemeral=True)


def get_user_info_embed(bots: discord.Bot, member: discord.Member):
    embed = discord.Embed(
        title='User Information:',
        color=discord.Color.from_rgb(100, 255, 100)
    )


    embed.set_thumbnail(url=member.avatar.url)

    user = bots.get_user(member.id)
    print(user.banner)
    return embed


def setup(bot):
    bot.add_cog(UserInfo(bot))```

[errant trout]

are you trying to fetch any user, or get a member in the guild?

[chilly crow]

in the guild

[errant trout]

then don't use get_member

you already have the member object

[chilly crow]

I want a userinfo command that sends me info about my member on my server

[errant trout]

basically just remove the user = ... line (unless you really need their banner for some reason, then you'd have to fetch)

[chilly crow]

I want their banner ye

I want to use it as image of the embed

[errant trout]

then you have to change it to an async function and use await bot.fetch_user

[chilly crow]

It worksss

thank youu

[deft kestrel]

can someone please help

how to add fields to a paginators embed

send an example code or anything

[sage tendon]

the repo is full of examples

[deft kestrel]

ye but idk how to add fields to the embed if im using this approach

[sage tendon]

just.. add them to the embed like normal lol

[lapis dock]

Embed takes a fields kwarg.

[deft kestrel]

oh ye tyvm

[sage tendon]

docs, as always

[deft kestrel]

ye ty 😭

[deft kestrel]

how to create that?

[little cobalt]

take a look at the pycord sites for components

https://guide.pycord.dev/introduction

[serene goblet]

Am I able to nest groups like this?

parentgroup = bot.create_group("parent", "parent group commands.")

childgroup = parentgroup.create_group("child", "child group commands.")

[sage tendon]

you can definitely have 2 subcommands yes, but im not sure if it works like that. just try it

[minor crescent]

what's the best way for handling config values across cogs? i can't figure out how to do it without dealing with desynced data

[sage tendon]

config file?
or a database if you mean that kind of config

[minor crescent]

i was gonna use a config file but im gonna have a mysql database for my bot anyways so ig i can use that

[sage tendon]

if its per-server configs, database

[minor crescent]

its gonna be a self hosted bot, so everything is local and in 1 server

[sage tendon]

then just use a config file or hardcode it lol

[minor crescent]

what's the best way instead of constantly reloading the config file to check for changes

[sage tendon]

what are you even doing that needs you to change the config file lol

[minor crescent]

well im making a store bot that sends out files

remaking it*

my original version is all in 1 main.py

im converting it to use cogs

so stuff like discounts, permissions, etc

[sage tendon]

well if you need to change it more than never, use a db

[minor crescent]

kk

thanks

[fickle salmon]

I have a config.py that I import to use constants in any cog. but like toothy said, if the data might change and you don't want to restart the bot, it should be in a db or something.

[minor crescent]

whats the best schema for a mysql config

literally just a config table?

[fickle salmon]

Uhh it entirely depends on the data

[minor crescent]

it's just gonna be like global variables

lemme get what it is rn

[fickle salmon]

guild id, variable name, variable value? idk

[minor crescent]

[SETUP]
depo_world = BANNED
depo_bot = 05u1oyzyk9
pay_as_you_go_price = 30
purchase_count = 482
total_profit = 1283217
rescan_cooldown = 60
admin_checker_channel = 1206053236428247070
admin_checker_price = 0
add_your_own_world_channel = 1206105043426615367

literally just stuff like this

a lot of ints, some strings

i use config parser and .ini normally

but now im working with multiple cogs

[fickle salmon]

Why not keep it an ini

[minor crescent]

because i keep coming back to the same issue which is desyncing data

if i save the config in one cog it wont update on the other ones unless i reload

the only idea i've had is creating a configparser object in a shared.py file and importing it across all cogs

[fickle salmon]

When you read a config value, just re-read the file?

[fickle salmon]

Do this

[minor crescent]

i was trying to be efficient and not do this but ig i can

[fickle salmon]

How is this not efficient?

I create a db object and add it to my bot bot.db = DB() that I then use in any cog to query the DB, this is very similar

[minor crescent]

yeah i figured it out, i was just being dumb

thanks

[red mist]

Not dumb, just unable to access the right information at the time ^~^

[sage tendon]

You know
If you somehow manage to desync your data with a config file
Just make it a class that sets its fields upon being made, and save the object as a bot variable

[atomic fern]

i have message id from db, but if i using bot.get_message() after the msg age is more than 1week, it's always return None, why?

[lofty hedge]

I think you can only get a message that’s x amount of days old correct me if I’m wrong

Because bots can’t delete messages that’s older than x amount of days

[little cobalt]

which are your intents

and do you fetch the message?

[deft hull]

I'm trying to host an application which uses a database by fetching data from the google sheets api. Thing is, I don't know how

[errant trout]

get_message only works from cache - after a week, there's a very decent chance it's no longer cached (the default message limit is 1000)
if it returns None you need the channel ID AND the message ID, get the channel with get_channel and use await channel.fetch_message

[atomic fern]

ty I'll try use fetch

[shell radish]

you can also use discord.PartialMessage.fetch_message so you just need an ID for the channel instead of get- or fetch-ing it

[rotund quarry]

How can i make this a int

async def get(ctx, page: description="The page with the quest that you want to see.", min_value=1, max_value=6, default=1):

make what an int

[lofty parcel]

Make what an int

[sage tendon]

slow

[lofty parcel]

Shut

[sage tendon]

im just a dragon

[rotund quarry]

I menat i want to make a slash command that you can put a nuber

[sage tendon]

use the @option decorator

thats how i do it

discord.commands.option i believe, 1s

[rotund quarry]

I can't do it directly on async def?

[sage tendon]

you can but its ugly af in my personal opinion

[rotund quarry]

ok

thank you

[sage tendon]

example

from discord import option

[lofty parcel]

Do you realise this code here doesn't make sense right?

[sage tendon]

ssh

first let them convert it to use the decorator

[lofty parcel]

No shut

Die decorators

[sage tendon]

its so clean wdym

[lofty parcel]

discord.Option supremacy.

[sage tendon]

exactly, the superior species

SyntaxError: invalid syntax

[sage tendon]

that is.. not how you do python

just do it the way i did

pass the name and type as positional argument

[rotund quarry]

ok

[sage tendon]

did it work?

[lapis dock]

To give you the specific issue the name: should be name=

But type has to go first.

[sage tendon]

it doesnt have to

[lapis dock]

Kwargs can't be before positional args.

[sage tendon]

yea, but if they just followed the way i did it, they wouldnt have that issue

[steep cliff]

Fuck decorators

[sage tendon]

why?

[steep cliff]

Ugly af

[sage tendon]

literally so clean

[sage tendon]

what looks unclean here

[steep cliff]

Immo the latest version they added is the best

Crowded mess up top and doesn’t seem pythonic

[sage tendon]

the multi-line function definition is what i find absolutely disgusting and wrong looking

[steep cliff]

Typing.anotated just seems more general and closer to other libraries/code

[sage tendon]

wtf is that

[steep cliff]

I get that decorators do the best at separating the options visually, but they also make really library specific and counter intuitive

[steep cliff]

#discussion message

Last version

[sage tendon]

wtf does that do

that looks so garbage

[steep cliff]

It looks weird but is properly type hinted

Currently use option kwargs but this is better imo

[chilly crow]

So I need help with something, I have a main file where my bot is loaded. Now I have another script where I want to put my events inside to make the code more readable. Now how do I access this bot instance from my main file in my event file?

[lapis dock]

Take a look at cogs in the guide
https://guide.pycord.dev/popular-topics/cogs

@chilly crow

[chilly crow]

Okay, so should I basically put all my logging events in logging cog for example?

[shell radish]

yes

[deft hull]

Quick question

can you set a command desciption like this

@decorator
async def something(ctx):
    '''
    Description
    '''
    pass

[shell radish]

No

The pycord syntax is different

[deft hull]

oh

thanks

[shell radish]

https://guide.pycord.dev/interactions/application-commands/slash-commands#syntax

[errant trout]

docstring still works for descriptions yes (tested on 2.5)

(just note that user and message commands don't have descriptions, only prefix and slash do)

[shell radish]

oop

[tranquil steeple]

channel.overwrites_for(ctx.guild.default_role)
why does this return None

[little cobalt]

For what do you need this and is it at a command?

Hello, i didnt really understand something about slash command, i read the limit is 100 slash command and sub command but with the tag cmd-rate im now a little lost.
If i create a /command math with 25 sub command in it and i does 5 others groups like this i will have a total of 125 commands and subcommands. Does it will work ?

or the limit is still 100 so i cant have a total of 125 sub commands

[shell radish]

you can have 100 top-level commands

this is one top-level command, "afk"

[fresh sierra]

so this is 7/100 for the commands

[shell radish]

it is 1/100

[fresh sierra]

and not 1/100 with 7/25 for the subcommands

oo ok

[shell radish]

it's actually 2/25 for the sub commands

you have mod and set

[fresh sierra]

because mode is like 1

so mode is a subcommand of a subcommand ?

[shell radish]

something like that. There's probably an official term.

ok thanks you, im planning to put all my prefix command as slash command

but with more than 300 commands, i will need to do better thing

i was planning to do for each category the name like /moderation ban @user, /action agree, /antiraid antispam etc etc, if you have some advice or else tell me

[shell radish]

yes, that's generally how its done

[fresh sierra]

and also about /slash commands, what does it mean no rate limit ?

like it doesnt rate for the sending of the command and the invocation ?

[shell radish]

if a user sends a slash command, discord will let you respond to it

for text-based commands, there are rate-limits because bots can't send messages that frequently

[fresh sierra]

ok its about that

i have a lot of thing to learn about slash commands...

is there a way with bridge command to something like this :
/moderation ban
+ban

for when i use the slash i have the moderation has group but with the prefix i dont need to speficy the group

[shell radish]

what if you just made a regular slash command and a regular text-based command

[fresh sierra]

it also work but 2 times more works

cos when i will change a / i will have to change the text too

but if there are nothing to do it i will make both

[shell radish]

I'm not familiar with bridge
