Basic Pycord Help

[modern trail]

the documentation gave me the impression that it was needed

[sage tendon]

good luck updating your code every time your bot is added to a server ;)

[shell radish]

for testing, yeah

[modern trail]

lol yea. This bot will only ever be in one guild, but even so, I think i'll stop passing this in

[sage tendon]

yea, no point then

You can limit all of your bot's commands to one guild using the debug_guild_ids (i think) parameter in your bot definition
but thats not needed if its only ever in one server

[modern trail]

i see, cool. I appreciate knowing nonetheless

[shell radish]

debug_guilds

[sage tendon]

close

ok i might be dumb but whats the difference

[modern trail]

difference between what and what?

[sage tendon]

method and function

[modern trail]

generally method is the term for a function that's part of a class, where function is a term for a function outside of a class, at the module level. Not sure if pycord docs are different here

[sage tendon]

hm, yea

[shell radish]

and decorators are functions

[modern trail]

inception functions

[olive ridge]

Yo, guys this might be a very stupid question, but how do I get a user from user id? I had this running for a while and everything worked previously:
print(bot.get_user(771786002153996309).name)
but it suddenly stopped.
And the bot is of course defined like this bot=discord.Bot()

[little cobalt]

at a command?

at a event?

[olive ridge]

yes at a command

[sage tendon]

no intents?

[olive ridge]

well I haven't specified anything regarding intents

I guess I should then

[sage tendon]

at least default, and depending on your use case, member intent as well

[olive ridge]

Yep that was the problem, thank you!

[weary meteor]

technically 5 but these profiles all have a shit ton of data, like 80k lines of json kinda data

unfortunately there is no way to just get the names of the profiles so i need parse thru the data and get the name of these profiles fast enough to where the discord api doesnt time out

[shell radish]

ok, so you can make the user select their thing, then send the slash command

defer it and you parse the data and send it through a select menu

[halcyon hearth]

Is there any way give custom names to a bool? (ie /set_status bool:online/offline string:blaah int:123)
sorry if this sounds stupid, im new to it

[shell radish]

use choices and make two choices

[halcyon hearth]

thanks

[cedar snow]

Is there anyway to move decorators of slash command into a discord.bot sub-class or some other better way to organize it?

i forgot about my nickname here lol

[dusk flume]

Does Py-Cord support userapps? i have enabled it for my bot but doesnt seem to work properly

[pale scroll]

how can I create a bot that if you send a video to the command "video_to_gif" this video will become a GIF

[little cobalt]

Use cogs

[rapid jackal]

is bot.get_guild(guildid) and interaction.guild the same?

[little cobalt]

It both returns the guild, why should it not to be the same?

[rapid jackal]

how can I add this: git+https://github.com/Pycord-Development/pycord (the development Version) to my requirements.txt

[frail ocean]

Can someone help?

[errant trout]

add it exactly like you pasted it

well, nearly: git+https://github.com/Pycord-Development/pycord.git

[rapid jackal]

just paste it or do I need to write py-cord=git+https://github.com/Pycord-Development/pycord.git ?

[errant trout]

Not py-cord=, exactly what I posted

py-cord is pip, you're installing from github

[rapid jackal]

ok, thanks

[frail ocean]

Pls

[lofty hedge]

is there a limit on how much auto complete choices you can have

[errant trout]

Not really

Discord will only render 25(?) on the screen though

[lofty hedge]

awesome

[balmy dome]

How to get the name of application command from discord.Interaction? I've searched the documentation, but I can't find anything.

[sage tendon]

discord.Interaction isn't for slash commands

it's discord.ApplicationContext

and it's ctx.command

[little cobalt]

@balmy dome ^

[balmy dome]

Thanks for the reply.

[modern trail]

Hi, i was told that I could omit the guild_ids param when decorating slash commands and it'll register with all guilds by default, but when I tried, the commands weren't registered. Am I missing something? My decorator looks like @bot.slash_command() where bot is initialized like so: bot = discord.Bot(intents=Intents.all())

[sage tendon]

i really would not recommend Intents.all()

[modern trail]

oh really?

[sage tendon]

use default intents and add members / message content manually if you need it

all just makes your bot not work if you dont have all intents enabled on the developer page

[modern trail]

i assume that isn't related to the guild_ids issue though

[sage tendon]

yesterday, you didnt have the intents enabled

so i suppose you changed both and now it doesnt wrok

[modern trail]

no i did, i was always defining bot that way

all i changed was removing guild_ids

[sage tendon]

did you restart your discord after restarting the bot

[modern trail]

no, but i put the guild_ids param back and it registered the commands

[sage tendon]

show your code

[modern trail]

i'm not really sure what else is relevant to share

[sage tendon]

well your bots code because something is apparently weird that your slash commands dont register lol

how do you know they aren't registering, tho

[modern trail]

they dont show up in the menu that appears when typing the slash character. Then when i added the guild_ids param back and restarted the bot, the commands appeared in the menu lol

[sage tendon]

what if you keep your discord open and restart your bot without guild_ids passed?
Discord doesnt sync that often so the commands stay, and im curious if it works or if it shows an error

and again, try to avoid all intents unless you really need it / only enable those you need + default

[modern trail]

what are the default? idk which ones i need. still a little confused by intents, so i figured it wasn't any harm in having all of them. And are you asking that I restart my bot after omitting the guild_ids param again and see if the commands still show up in the menu?

[sage tendon]

default is everything but members, message content and presences

[sage tendon]

they should not disappear unless you restart discord because of how shit discord's clientside command handling is

and yes

[modern trail]

lets find out i guess

i removed it from one of the commands and it still shows up with the rest

not too surprising

[sage tendon]

well, again, show your code

also, how many commands does your bot have

[modern trail]

it's a fair amount of code so I've tried to keep it to just some of it so it's not annoying to look through: https://paste.pythondiscord.com/PULQ

[sage tendon]

wtf is bot.start lol

[modern trail]

bot.run is a little hand wavey, i needed bot.start in order to manually start it asyncronously so I could have that try/finally block, as i wanted to properly close the db connection upon halting the bot

[sage tendon]

ah

but you do remove guild_ids entirely right? and not just pass an empty list?

[modern trail]

correct, i provided 2 commands to see each. users in this case is what all the commands looked like at first

[sage tendon]

well the way you showed it, i dont see why it wouldnt work lol

like this should just, work

[errant trout]

does it show up in settings > integrations

[sage tendon]

legit the only thing i could think of is the intents but that wouldnt make too much sense
but i did have someone have a similar issue before because they requested all intents but didnt have them enabled in the dev portal

[modern trail]

huh, didn't know that was a thing. and yes it does

bot has been running since this latest test, and the command is still registered

[errant trout]

intents don't matter for slash at all, they're unrelated

[sage tendon]

hm then it was just a weird niche case that time

[modern trail]

i have a feeling though, that if i add a brand new command, it won't register

[sage tendon]

and what if you run it? or does it just not show when doing /

[modern trail]

i've run the command too, it runs happily

i'm curious, if i add 2 new commands, one with guild_ids and one without, if one will register and the other won't

[sage tendon]

so
it works now?

[errant trout]

they all register unless you actually get an error in your console

[modern trail]

well idk, i feel like now that it's registered it's registered

[sage tendon]

lol

well if it works it works

and if it still shows up after restarting discord then it, well, works 100%

[modern trail]

well not necessarily. If i continue omitting the param when i push this code to my bot in production which uses a completely different discord bot user, it has the potential to not register the commands

[sage tendon]

there is literally no reason for it not to work

your code is exactly how its supposed to be

and i mean just comment the command out, restart your bot and discord, then uncomment and restart both again
If it then shows up and works, then it works on your other bot too

[modern trail]

ok lets try it

[frail ocean]

self.shard_status = {}
    @commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_shard_connect(self, shard_id):
        self.shard_status[shard_id] = "Connecting"

    @commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_shard_ready(self, shard_id):
        self.shard_status[shard_id] = "Online"

    @commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_shard_disconnect(self, shard_id):
        self.shard_status[shard_id] = "Offline"

    @commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_shard_resumed(self, shard_id):
        self.shard_status[shard_id] = "Online"```
Sometimes it doesnt trigger the events or they stay offline
But the shard is online

Can someone help

[modern trail]

after commenting out the /users command entirely, it no longer appears in the menu of commands

[errant trout]

...is there a problem with that?

[sage tendon]

command is gone so the command is gone
makes sense to me

:3

[modern trail]

well now i've uncommented it out, and the command is failing to register

[sage tendon]

restart your bot, wait until it actually started, then restart your discord

(it helps to override on_ready so you know when its actually ready, im not sure if it prints smth by default)

[modern trail]

interesting, after restarting discord I do see the command again

[sage tendon]

yea, thats why i always say restart discord

[modern trail]

it's just odd that i never had to restart discord when including the guild_ids param

[errant trout]

you don't always have to, but command cache can be weird

[sage tendon]

because it never unregistered from that guild

[sage tendon]

99% = always, i never needed not to restart i think lol

[errant trout]

i mean for me personally i don't need to restart for unsyncing and adding new commands

just kinda works

[sage tendon]

changing command options is the worst imo
NEVER updates

[errant trout]

if you actually run it then it forces an update

[sage tendon]

oh really? i always just took the "outdated command try again" as a "welp off i go to restart"

[errant trout]

that message means it's now updated yes

[sage tendon]

ah

TIL

[high pilot]

I was sending embed with an matplotlib image as set_image but the notification i get is of the image

can i somehow change it to embed notification?

[young skiff]

I think it is not possible

idk

[high pilot]

pretty sad 😦

[sage tendon]

yea discord just doesn't do that

[high pilot]

well can some higher up here convey it to them as a suggestion? might already be conveyed idk

[sage tendon]

Send discord an email and ask for it

[high pilot]

lol not sure they would take it up from a nobody

[sage tendon]

exactly

its really easy to do, but discord just doesnt
and i doubt they will anytime soon
(doesnt get them money)

[grizzled loom]

whats this called/named when you check for channel permissions in code?

[sage tendon]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/data_classes.html#discord.Permissions.send_messages_in_threads

[frail ocean]

self.shard_status = {}
    @commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_shard_connect(self, shard_id):
        self.shard_status[shard_id] = "Connecting"

    @commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_shard_ready(self, shard_id):
        self.shard_status[shard_id] = "Online"

    @commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_shard_disconnect(self, shard_id):
        self.shard_status[shard_id] = "Offline"

    @commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_shard_resumed(self, shard_id):
        self.shard_status[shard_id] = "Online"```
Sometimes it doesnt trigger the events or they stay offline
But the shard is online
Can someone help pls?

[halcyon hearth]

is there any way to make slash commands visible to certain roles?

[sage tendon]

default permissions, yes

or just use the integrations menu, quicker

[sage tendon]

What affects the slash command float notation?
a user was saying only 0,03 (example) worked for them, with a comma
0.03 on the other hand didn't

When I tried it, it was exactly reversed. If i click the used slash command, it shows a plain 3 where i typed 0,03, and a 0.03 where i typed 0.03
Is this tied to the discord language, or what does that depend on?

[shell radish]

probably client locale

[sage tendon]

yea i think so

I'm on english uk

[errant trout]

sorry, i glanced through the code but i don't think there's anything strange on our side... perhaps add prints to see which ones fire and which ones don't?

[weary meteor]

how do i make command names have like a space, ive seen commands where its like /this that

[frail ocean]

Wdym

[errant trout]

command groups

[rugged lodge]

Here's the slash cog groups example.

[weary meteor]

thank you :D

[errant trout]

add a print inside each event so you can directly see which ones are being triggered

[frail ocean]

I have the same event in main.py aand it works

[errant trout]

...my point being that if you use the prints you can debug your issue

it's possible that there's some race condition or some other underlying issue, but i don't use shards to know what that could be

[frail ocean]

ok

[grizzled loom]

Thank you. Mr. Tooth : D

[weary meteor]

        for i in channels:
            print(i)
            await ctx.guild.get_channel(i).delete()```

is there any reason this might not work? the print statement throws out the channel_id but the channel never gets deleted and theres no errors

[sage tendon]

the channel isn't cached

but thatd be an error polly

check if the channel is !none first

or let them be printed

[weary meteor]

that should throw a NoneType error i had it happen before

itd say u cant use delete on NoneType

[sage tendon]

i know, thats why i said this

[weary meteor]

yep, imma print it out and also print the channels var and see what i get

[sage tendon]

also, just do for channel in channels
more readable

or channel_id

[weary meteor]

yeah so the channels var does throw out a list as expected but the delete doesnt work for some reason still

[sage tendon]

print ctx.guild.get_channel

[weary meteor]

well shiet its apparently none

[sage tendon]

there you go

[weary meteor]

thats odd bc it really shouldnt be lemme send a snippet of code

channel = await ctx.guild.create_text_channel(f"${account-{acc_id}", category=discord.utils.get(ctx.guild.categories, id=1223137144286085250))

and then i slap the channel.id into a database

which is where i get the channels var from

[sage tendon]

if get is none, fetch it

[weary meteor]

and it prints out the id as it should but then its none

[sage tendon]

and make sure the id is right anyway

[weary meteor]

wdym by this

[sage tendon]

fetch_channel

[sage tendon]

.

[civic quiver]

await interaction.send_message(embeds=[embed])
how do I send this message to a specific channel

[lofty parcel]

you get the channel and then use channel.send

interaction responses are only sent to where the interaction was invoked

[civic quiver]

I need to use interaction, without it the input text screen doesnt close

using the channel.send sends the message, but doesnt close the popup when i submit

"something went wrong"

[lofty parcel]

send two responses

[shell radish]

you should just respond ephemerally saying "done!"

[lofty parcel]

one to confirm the sent message ephemerally

and the one you send to the channel

[shell radish]

"responses"

[civic quiver]

alright

let me try

works, thanks

[civic quiver]

How would I find a user without "message"

class staffVerify(discord.ui.View):
    
    @discord.ui.button(label="Approve", row=0, style=discord.ButtonStyle.green)
    async def first_button_callback(self, button, interaction):
        guild = message.guild
        member = discord.utils.get(guild.members, name=username)
        await member.add_roles("verified")

[rugged lodge]

Searched in pycord

discord.Interaction.user
discord.MessageInteraction.user
discord.IntegrationApplication.user

[halcyon hearth]

is it possible to pass an input from a slash command into a button when pressed?

[shell radish]

yes

[halcyon hearth]

how would i go about doing that?

[shell radish]

depends on how you use buttons

[halcyon hearth]

im kinda just following this https://guide.pycord.dev/interactions/ui-components/buttons

[shell radish]

do you know how classes work?

[halcyon hearth]

kinda

[shell radish]

you can pass the info into the view class

and access it from the button with self

[halcyon hearth]

thx

[dark oak]

How can I assign multiple views to a message?

[cloud bloom]

I believe you can't

what are you trying to do though?

[fresh sierra]

What do you mean by that ?

Like multiple button ?

[sage tendon]

it all has to be one view I believe

[fresh sierra]

Because you can still can everything in a class discord.ui.View

[rapid jackal]

I have a problem. When I execute this command with limit is a negative number the code changes the json entry to the negative limit. How can I fix the problem:

    async def settradinglimit(self, context, limit: Option(int, name="limit" ,description="Das neue Trading limit")):
        if limit < 0: # and (len(await db.get_all_trading_players()) > limit):

            await context.respond(embed=discord.Embed(
                title='❌ Fehler bei änderung',
                description='Das Trading Limit muss zwischen 1 und 50 liegen und es muss mehr Tradingspieler geben als den Limit',
                color=discord.Color.red()
            ), ephemeral=True)
        else:
            with open('json/bot.json', 'r') as f:
                data = json.load(f)

            data['trading_limit'] = limit

            with open("json/bot.json", 'w') as f:
                json.dump(data, f)

            await context.respond(embed=discord.Embed(
                title='✅ Erfolgreich geändert',
                description=f'Das Trading Limit wurde auf {limit} geändert',
                color=discord.Color.green()
            ), ephemeral=True)
            

[sage tendon]

return, else it'll just run through

wait my phone is formatting it weird

well, does it go into the initial if clause? or the else?
Use prints

or just set min_value=0 in the option

thats the easiest way

example

that way users cannot physically enter <1 or >12 in my example

[rapid jackal]

oh I remember, thanks

[hybrid tinsel]

what am i missing here? sending an attachment still results in it still printing

[shell radish]

do you have message content intents?

[hybrid tinsel]

oh i forgot to include intents

thanks LOL

[sage tendon]

why client and not bot

[little cobalt]

if you only do events you dont need bot

[sage tendon]

I doubt they do

[dark oak]

Yes

[sage tendon]

Make the view have multiple buttons

[dark oak]

ah

i see

thanks

[solemn finch]

is there a method of connecting a bot to multiple voice channels at once?

[sage tendon]

no

[solemn finch]

sadge, but thx for the answer

[sage tendon]

not inside any one server at least

[solemn finch]

yeah, I assume a workaround would be to have multiple bots, but that's spammy ig

[sage tendon]

what would you need it for

[rapid jackal]

I have this command here:

    @slash_command(
        name='sendleaguemsg',
        description='Sende die Ligen Nachricht'
    )
    async def slm(self, ctx):
        with open('json/bot.json', 'r') as f:
            data = json.load(f)

        await ctx.respond("Ligen Nachrichten wurden gesendet", ephemeral=True)

        channel: discord.TextChannel = self.bot.get_channel(data["leagues_channel"])

        with open('json/leagues.json', 'r') as f:
            leagues = json.load(f)

        for l in leagues:
            index = next((i for i, c in enumerate(l) if c.isdigit()), None)

            em = discord.Embed(title=f'{l[:-1]} {l[index:]}',
                               color=0x031C47)
            em.set_image(url="url")
            msg = await channel.send(embed=em)

            leagues[l]["statsmsg"] = msg.id
            with open('json/leagues.json', 'w') as f:
                json.dump(leagues, f, indent=4)

this command should send 5 messages, because I have 5 leauges in the leagues.json the messages should be "leauges 1", "leauges 2", "leauges 3", "leauges 4" and "leauges 5". But the Bot sends "leauges 1", "leauges", "leauges", "leauges" and "leauges", "leauges 2", "leauges", "leauges", "leauges" and "leauges" and so on. Somethimes there is only one message containing only "leauges" sometimes more

I didn't change the code since a month, where the command worked fine, I just updated pycord (I use the development version)

the leauges.json looks like this:

{
    "league1": {
        "teamlimit": 20,
        "teams": [],
        "statsmsg": 
    },
    "league2": {
        "teamlimit": 20,
        "teams": [],
        "statsmsg": 
    },
    "league3": {
        "teamlimit": 20,
        "teams": [],
        "statsmsg": 
    },
    "league4": {
        "teamlimit": 10,
        "teams": [],
        "statsmsg": 
    },
    "league5": {
        "teamlimit": 10,
        "teams": [],
        "statsmsg": 
    }
}

[errant trout]

i can't quite tell how that's happening, but why don't you send a single message with all 5 embeds?

[rapid jackal]

how would this work?

[errant trout]

instead of embed, use embeds which is a list

[rapid jackal]

thanks, I will try this

[errant trout]

(also that last open / write should be outside the loop)

[rapid jackal]

still don't work

now the bots ends "leauge" some times then I can see 5 embeds with "leauges 1" to "leauges 5" but then these 5 embeds disappear and it looks the same like it was before

[sage tendon]

show your code

[rapid jackal]

here

[errant trout]

it sounds like network issues because there's no reason for your command output to duplicate

[sage tendon]

no, with the changes

[rapid jackal]

    @slash_command(
        name='sendleaguemsg',
        description='Sende die Ligen Nachricht'
    )

        await ctx.respond("Ligen Nachrichten wurden gesendet", ephemeral=True)

        channel: discord.TextChannel = self.bot.get_channel(data["leagues_channel"])

        with open('json/leagues.json', 'r') as f:

        embeds = []

        for l in leagues:

        leagues[l]["statsmsg"] = msg.id
        with open('json/leagues.json', 'w') as f:
            json.dump(leagues, f, indent=4)

[rapid jackal]

from the Discord API or my PC? because I tried running it at 2 different PCs and also 2 other peoples at a totaly different location than me and the problems are there too. (We discorvered the problem this morning)

[sage tendon]

i really wouldnt use the dev version for a prod bot tho

use stable if you expect a stable experience

[rapid jackal]

yeah I know, but we switched to the dev because we needed a paginator feature from Om that wasn't implemented yet in the stable version

[sage tendon]

try on stable, if it works, its a library issue

and wait with using that paginator feature until it's out on stable

[rapid jackal]

does somebody know if this pr is in the stable version:

https://github.com/Pycord-Development/pycord/pull/2105

[sage tendon]

that PR was never merged

[rapid jackal]

damn, but why?

[sage tendon]

read the comments, idk

this referenced it tho

[rapid jackal]

oh like this is the same?

[sage tendon]

read the comments / initial PR text and find out

[round heart]

Say I want to use a standard emoji as Author for Embeds. That only uses a straight icon_url instead of an Emoji class. Is the best way just to grab it from the Twemoji repo or something?

[shell radish]

yeah, grabbing from the twemoji repo would be the best. Do you need a link or something?

[round heart]

Thanks. I know the URL to the repo, was just validating the approach

e.g. https://raw.githubusercontent.com/twitter/twemoji/master/assets/72x72/1f513.png

[hard kettle]

@tasks.loop(seconds=5.0)
async def on_message(message):
  channel = 134
   await message.channel.send("heklo")

Is this possible

[sage tendon]

no

you cant make an event a task loop

that makes no sense

[fresh sierra]

I heard that we can restrict emoji to some role, where can I find this in the doc ?

[shell radish]

no

[fresh sierra]

We can’t restrict can’t of emoji for certain role ?

[sage tendon]

It is documented

discord.Emoji i believe

but there is defo no way to do it in the UI
No idea if bots can use it

[fresh sierra]

I will check again on discord.Emoji

[shell radish]

you can, it's documented, but clients can do some wonky stuff

[fresh sierra]

Yep it’s in the edit my bad

[fresh sierra]

Wdym by wonky stuff

[shell radish]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

never did it myself, that's what other people that've done it said

[fresh sierra]

Ok thanks

If I see someone strange I will tell u

[shell radish]

also that was like a year ago, so maybe they fixed it?

[sage tendon]

its probably intended only for server subscription emojis

[errant trout]

no, role restricted emojis have been documented since the endpoint was created

[rapid jackal]

how can I add a message over the paginators embed?

[compact estuary]

is it possible to have a button on followup embed?

in the docs the @discord.ui.button method takes 3 parameters one of which is a slash command

so uhh this is confusing me https://guide.pycord.dev/interactions/ui-components/buttons#usage-syntax

[sage tendon]

attach the view to the embed lol

[compact estuary]

i did

let me copy my code one sec

[sage tendon]

embed message*

[sage tendon]

yea, thats exactly how you do it

[compact estuary]

class ConfirmationView(View):
            def __init__(self):
                super().__init__()
            @discord.ui.button(label="Confirm", style=discord.ButtonStyle.success)
            async def confirm(self, button_interaction: discord.Interaction):
                update_build(submission_id, update_values)
                await button_interaction.response.edit_message(
                    embed=utils.info_embed('Success', 'record edited successfully'),
                    view=None 
                )
                self.stop()

            @discord.ui.button(label="Cancel", style=discord.ButtonStyle.danger)
            async def cancel(self, button_interaction: discord.Interaction):
                # Inform the user that the update was canceled
                await button_interaction.response.edit_message(
                    embed=utils.info_embed('Cancelled', 'record edit cancelled'),
                    view=None 
                )
                self.stop()
        await followup.send(embed=preview_embed, view=ConfirmationView(), ephemeral=True)

[sage tendon]

you are missing an argument

[compact estuary]

so in confirm() and cancle() there should be a third argument

[sage tendon]

copy the docs

[compact estuary]

but what should i give it

[sage tendon]

nothing

the callback is not called by you ever

[compact estuary]

the docs give it a slash command but the buttons appear on follow up

[sage tendon]

no, they do not

the interaction is the interaction with the button

[compact estuary]

but i want it*

[sage tendon]

?

how would that work

button callbacks are not called by you in your code

[compact estuary]

the docs give it a slash command but i want the buttons appear on follow up

[sage tendon]

i have no idea what makes you think that lol

just attach the view to the followup message

...send(content, embed=embed, view=ConfirmationView)
or whatever you want in there

[compact estuary]

did that but like there is a missing arg so the buttons are just failing

[sage tendon]

yea

becuase you didnt do it right

[sage tendon]

again, copy this

a button callback has 3 parameters

[compact estuary]

this really doesn't help but ok

[sage tendon]

what do you not understand then

you are just not giving the button callback function the right amount of parameters
it needs 3
self, button, interaction
for the object, the button that was pressed, and the actual button interaction

[compact estuary]

i don't understand what i should put in the third argument

[sage tendon]

copy the guide

it doesnt matter what you name it even

it just needs to exist

and i mean, you need it to do your button stuff

the second argument is just button, not the interaction like you have it in your code
I never really used it either

I think you understood how it works and you just omitted the second parameter
but you cant do that because its positional and not kwargs

[errant trout]

when you are using a @button decorator in a View class, there are 3 arguments:

1. self, which is the view class.
2. button, which is the button that was pressed
3. interaction, which is the recieved interaction

idk where you got slash command from, but that's what you work with

[sage tendon]

i already said that tho :3

[errant trout]

good for you

[compact estuary]

this is a slash command if i have ever seen one

@bot.slash_command() # Create a slash command
async def button(ctx):
    await ctx.respond("This is a button!", view=MyView()) # Send a message with our View class that contains the button

[lofty parcel]

You explained it terribly

[sage tendon]

they are doing what i said

[errant trout]

that is a slash command yes

[sage tendon]

attaching the view to the message

[sage tendon]

i literally said exactly what nelo said in very slightly different words, here #1132206148309749830 message

[compact estuary]

soo?? the button argument isn't assigned "the button that was pressed" it is assigned a slash command..

what do you even mean by the button that was pressed

[sage tendon]

no, it isnt

[errant trout]

????

[sage tendon]

the button is part of a view

the view is sent with the message that is sent in response to the slash command

[errant trout]

button is literally the button the user pressed, e.g. if you were to print button.label inside that callback you'd see the button text

idk how much more clearer that can be

im genuinely curious as to how you're seeing that as slash command data

[compact estuary]

nvm i don't even want to get it working at this point

[sage tendon]

(views can be sent in any context, in response to an event, by a prefix command, etc)

i mean we are trying our best to explain how it works lol

[compact estuary]

somehow i still don't understand what i should assign in the second argument

[compact estuary]

i can see that

[sage tendon]

you never assign anything

jus tmake it have 3 parameters

[compact estuary]

i'm clearly dumb

[sage tendon]

self, button, interaction

it needs 3

[errant trout]

the name doesn't matter in the end, it'll always be the arguments we listed

[sage tendon]

you can largely ignore the second element tho, its rarely used imo
but the order is important, the third argument, whatever you call it, is always the interaction

here is my bot's confirm view as an example

as you can see i never touch the second argument, because i dont care about the button data basically

[compact estuary]

so this?

[sage tendon]

yes

[compact estuary]

that won't work the embed that has the buttons will never get sent

[sage tendon]

?

you send it via a slash command or whatever should trigger that embed + buttons

you pass it via the view= parameter in a message send()

[compact estuary]

.

[sage tendon]

again, just attach the view to the followup message lol

add view=ConfirmationView() to the followup-sending

[compact estuary]

a

[sage tendon]

yea

but

[compact estuary]

h

[sage tendon]

...what?

[compact estuary]

if i have it like this the follow up is never sent

[sage tendon]

man lmao im missing something here

well, you never clal that function

plus, followup is not defined anywhere or a parameter

where even is that function

can you tell me the order of operations for the user
like what they do & what happens

[compact estuary]

so they run a command named edit with record id and new values then initially the db is automatically updated but now i want to show them the new embed before updating the db

so now
-run command with new values
-confirm or cancel changes
-db updated

[sage tendon]

show your command code

[compact estuary]

this line down, https://github.com/Kappeh/Redstone-Squid/blob/master/Discord/submission/submit.py#L267

[sage tendon]

that
is a shitton of options
wow

are you doubly sure you are using py-cord and not discord.py

i am almost certain you are using discord.py because most of that looks very much not like pycord to me

[little cobalt]

;3

[sage tendon]

yea i saw that too

but i wasnt sure about dpy versioning

but that is dpy right

[errant trout]

yeah wrong server

[sage tendon]

damn

F

[compact estuary]

lmao

why are there 2 apis even

[sage tendon]

now we know why it didnt make sense

[sage tendon]

there are a lot more than 2

[errant trout]

it's a long story

[little cobalt]

also isnt dpy using tree commands instead of slash/app_command?

[compact estuary]

i'm invested

[sage tendon]

dpy syntax is so bad my goodness

[errant trout]

tree is a structure but they're still referred to as slash/app, some other differences

[compact estuary]

am i reading the correct docs?

[little cobalt]

which docs?

[sage tendon]

https://pycord.dev/ are "ours"

[compact estuary]

i don't think i am then

[errant trout]

eh long story short it used to be mainly dpy, after discord introduced slash commands the owner didn't like the direction and decided to halt development, tons of forks such as ours were created to continue it then some months later they came back to continue with the original

[compact estuary]

h

[errant trout]

dpy's is https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/, and if you want support then go look up their discord server

[compact estuary]

thx

oof those docs looks so bad

ong

[sage tendon]

switch to pycord

genuine advice (i am not being paid)

[umbral gazelle]

Is it possible to start video stream?

[sage tendon]

i don't think so

[errant trout]

bots cannot use video no

[umbral gazelle]

😥

[compact estuary]

uh it is not really my code tbh

[sage tendon]

i know, its chatgpt

[compact estuary]

no

[sage tendon]

yea i know dw, chatgpt would cry at that amount of coherent code

[compact estuary]

it is made by two people

[sage tendon]

but yea if you wanna try making a bot yourself, i highly suggest py-cord
its really straightforward imo

[compact estuary]

nah i'll pass c# my beloved

[sage tendon]

lala found a friend

[compact estuary]

i am going to suggest changing the current library to the current maintaner 🗿

[rapid jackal]

how can I add a message over the paginators embed?

[grizzled loom]

you mean like a normal text message sent into the same channel? or something else?

[rapid jackal]

let me try to describe it better. I have a paginator with embeds as pages. but I want on top of the embed a text. Like in the same message, but a text above the page embed that stays there when I switch a page

when this is the current paginator message, I want a text above the embed where the red circle is

[grizzled loom]

Okay, never tried something alike. next best thing i can think about would be a picture top right corner, that can be included in every page. doesn't sound like you were looking for such an option though.

[rapid jackal]

or is it possible to add a embed and a "normal" text to a page?

yea solved it with this: pages.append(Page(content="Message I want over the embed", embeds=[embed]))

[fresh sierra]

how can i get in which shard the instance is running ?

like a bot.shard_id

    @tasks.loop(minutes=1)
    async def role_level_loop(self):
        await self.bot.wait_until_ready()
        for guild in self.bot.guilds:
            if guild.shard_id != self.bot.shard_id:
                continue

does something like this will work (i dont find the documentation about that so

[sage tendon]

Hey I saw this post #1226541894113431663 and I was wondering, genuinely, how do you manage this?
I tried my best with autocomplete rn but it seems impossible to make a list of textchannels for the autocomplete (itll just show every channel regardless)

my test server doesnt have any announcement channels (cant make one just nvm it) so i tried instead by making it just show 1 particular channel
but since the option type in the slash command is textchannel, itll still show every textchannel there is

I tried faking a channel selection by just making it optionchoices, like this

but for some reason, that will end up in this error (the option has the type int)

i thought channel IDs were normal ass ints, so how does this happen? the channel id is 924757855624646667

is it just not possible to transfer entire channel IDs via autocomplete like that?

[nova epoch]

My guess would be that you're trying to fake it and Discord somehow detects it. Have you tried it with an actual channel object?

[sage tendon]

not possible

optionchoices can only be str, int, float
And if i make the type of the option textChannel, it just ignores the autocomplete

i can't do choices either because i can't access ctx

[nova epoch]

Then honestly, no idea, apologies.

[sage tendon]

np

i tried as float but then it ends up as 9.xxxxxxx

i could probably salvage that somehow, let me try that
but that seems incredibly janky

like i could just * 1000000 that

[nova epoch]

Could you not try it as float but then round it to ndigits=0 so there's no decimal?

[sage tendon]

oh wait, hm

its not a comma number its just the scientific notation

yea no if i do it as float is inaccurate when i convert it back to int

god this is awful lmao

Okay I made it work by using a string for the channel ID instead

[errant trout]

discord doesn't accept large ints (which is why all snowflakes on the API are string, despite us using int)

[sage tendon]

yea i was very confused

so you can pass SOME channel IDs as ints because they're small enough

who tf made the API use int53? thats so random

[errant trout]

isn't it just a js limitation

9007199254740991 is the MAX_SAFE_INTEGER

which converts to the start of 2015, before discord was even founded

[sage tendon]

oh

bruh

[sage tendon]

How to feature certain slash commands on the bot's profile?

Like some other bots have a set of their commands on the bot profile and you can just click them too i think

[little cobalt]

?tag slashcommandmention

[limber wagon]

</full name:ID>

[little cobalt]

maybe this works

[sage tendon]

no

its like a discord field

above the roles

no, not part of the about me

[little cobalt]

mhm

[lofty parcel]

Thats only for verified bots

And discord handles it

[sage tendon]

ah

[civic quiver]

How would I go about integrating official automod for my bot, like for it to show up on the automod section for server settings. Is it just using on_message and creating a list of banned words? or is it a different process

[lofty parcel]

It is creating automod rules

.rtfm Guild.create_auto_moderation_rule

[red mist]

this used to look fine, did something change about how discord displays embeds or atleast code blocks within embeds?

[sage tendon]

different phone?

looks like the max width was changed by 3 characters or so

if it was using the entire width before

[red mist]

ufffff yeah ok it was

guess Ill need to change that

[sage tendon]

embeds on mobile are just pain

[red mist]

no I was replying on your last message lol

also thats not mobile

thats desktop

lol

[sage tendon]

oh

[red mist]

its just how I screenshotted ig

[sage tendon]

idk what made me think that lol

but yea

let me fix that then
embeds are pain

But e.g. you can't use Multiline strings within your code that are indented. it'll be broken on mobile but look as intended on desktop, so you have to fully unindent any Multiline strings at least in embeds

[red mist]

wai

lemme test smth then

I

[sage tendon]

they might've fixed that by now but it was definitely an issue before

[red mist]

it actually looks fine on mobile

it just messes up desktop xD

[sage tendon]

bruh

[sage tendon]

why is it so slim on desktop, which traditionally has a lot more width than mobiles

[red mist]

idfk exactly my question

[fresh sierra]

so there are no possibility to use the default one ?

because i need also to filter depending on what the user can do or not

and with the walk i cannot filter that

[sage tendon]

why wouldn't you be able to

[red mist]

# Create a markdown table of the pings
            max_len_host = max(len(str(host)), 4)  # 4 is the length of "Host"
            max_len_latency = max(max(len(str(latency)) + 2 for latency in pings), 7)  # 7 is the length of "Latency"
            
            table = "| {0:<{1}} | {2:<{3}} |\n| {4} | {5} |\n".format(
                "Host", max_len_host, "Latency", max_len_latency,
                "-" * max_len_host, "-" * max_len_latency)

thats how I make my table ig

[fresh sierra]

i tlak about this
self.help_command.filter_commands

[sage tendon]

ah

[fresh sierra]

for it only show what the user can use

[sage tendon]

no f String?

also why do you call max(max()) once lmao

[red mist]

my man

i dont remember programming that

idk what I was on

I dont even know how the fk I managed to make that

[errant trout]

you can simulate filter_commands by running cmd.can_run on all your commands

[fresh sierra]

o thanks you !

[errant trout]

a slightly simplified version of that func ```py
...
async def predicate(cmd):
try:
return await cmd.can_run(context)
except CommandError:
return False

    ret = []
    for cmd in commands:
        valid = await predicate(cmd)
        if valid:
            ret.append(cmd)
    return ret```you can see the full code [here](<https://github.com/Pycord-Development/pycord/blob/master/discord/ext/commands/help.py#L547>), just adapt it for your own purposes

[sage tendon]

but where does it ever receive a user argument to check the can run on
I'm missing something here

[errant trout]

context

[fresh sierra]

thanks you i will try

[sage tendon]

oh
but it never is passed that context

[errant trout]

that snippet is inside filter_commands under the HelpCommand class, which has its own context

[sage tendon]

ah

[fresh sierra]

is there an easy way to get number of command in /, so addition of command, sub command and sub sub commands ?

[nova epoch]

@fresh sierra | You said command a few times too many in that, not too sure what you mean....

You can access every command object using py for i in bot.commands and then using i as the command object.
Other than that, not too sure what you could be referring to...

[fresh sierra]

i talk about slash command and not prefix, with prefix we can do len(self.bot.commands), and i wanna know if there are the same kind of thing with slash that also contain sub and sub sub

[nova epoch]

You want to access every slash command a bot has?

I would suggest using py for i in bot.commands: in addition to py if _isinstance(i, discord.SlashCommandGroup) to check if there could be subcommands, and just making a tree out of those.

[fresh sierra]

bot.commands will be None

since its for prefix and not /

but i find an other way, i dont think there are an attribute for it so im just itinarating in all commands

[nova epoch]

You could always maniuplate bot.register_application_commands.
Use it in a loop and intercept it per-object (command) and logic the command object from there.

[daring perch]

Hay, i was looking for a way to get a users server name. Before it used to be user.nick or something now i cant seem to find it.
i only find name, display_name and global_name. When i use the search i can only find a post to use the dev version which was for v2.5.0 (#1170056170975797379)
I am running 2.5.0 already but cant seem to find it tho.

So any way to get a users nickname on the server the slashcommand was used ?

@daring perch

[daring perch]

i just tried it and it works fine if i use the slashcommands ctx (e.g. ctx.author.nick) but when i fetch a user with user = await bot.fetch_user(ID) i cant use nick. Is the ctx.author different than user = await bot.fetch_user(ID) ?

[fresh sierra]

Nick is the name in the guild so you will need member and not use

[daring perch]

any way to get the member object from the user id ? Couldnt find a fetch_member function

guess i will use get_all_members when the bot starts and compare the ids to extract the member object

)

and how should i make a content menu without decorator

[sage tendon]

just call a function there that returns a list of select options

[deft kestrel]

i need silly guy response

he seems like a professional (u2 dw)

[sage tendon]

thanks

[shell radish]

if you already have an array, just pass it in

[sage tendon]

list :>

[shell radish]

list is technically wrong because it's static. :>

[deft kestrel]

dont i have to do this

@discord.ui.select(
        placeholder = "Select a category!",
        min_values = 1,
        max_values = 1,
        options = [
            discord.SelectOption(
                label="...",
                description="..."
            ),
        ]
)```

[shell radish]

if it's not already an array of SelectOption objects, then probably have a function/method that returns it as that, then.

[deft kestrel]

mm oki

[nova epoch]

Hey!

I have my function Exports._setup_all() which is async defined as ```py
class Exports:
config = Configuration()
flags = UserFlags()

@staticmethod
async def _setup_all():
    await config.setup()
    await flags.setup()
    return 1

``` and I need to call this function in my main.py file.

I have imported Exports which works fine, but I need yet another async function to await Exports._setup_all().
How can I use this setup function without being caught in a whole loop of just making loads of async functions?

TIA!

[shell radish]

have you looked into asyncio.run or asyncio.run_until_complete?

[nova epoch]

I have, but it didn't seem like it would work. Do you have any suggestions for how to use it?

Just ound what I was looking for on the docs, thanks!

[fresh totem]

class callCommands(commands.Cog):

    def __init__(self, bot_: discord.Bot):
        self.bot = bot_

    analytics = SlashCommandGroup("postcall", "Publish Alpha Call Commands", guild_ids=adminServer)

    @analytics.command()
    async def nft(ctx: discord.ApplicationContext, reporter: Option(str, 'Reported by', autocomplete=getReporters)):
        "Create and publish an alpha call."```

Gm! How can I lock this group command to a specific role so it's only visible to that the role holders

[sage tendon]

@discord.default_permissions(xx)

that locks it to a specific set of permissions

i think you can lock it to roles too but idk how to do that

probably smth like discord.has_role(), check the docs

usually roles arent used because bots are usually in more than 1 server

also, you forgot to pass self to the command, since its in a cog

also you might want the autocomplete to be choices

[fresh totem]

I couldn't find it earlier but I had asked this before, and apparently it's not possible?

I'll have to go the integrations route.

Thank you for the response!

[fresh totem]

good catch

using autocomplete since the fetched list is dynamic and keeps changing, choices saved the initial list and didn't update it with time

[sage tendon]

No, choices are fetched on execute of the command / typing it in chat

so if you put a function there that returns a list of optionchoices, it calls that every time someone types the command

Also has the important bonus of verifying the input to be one of the choices
Autocomplete doesn't do that

[little cobalt]

why do you have commands.Cog but discord.Bot?

do you use commands.Bot or discord.Bot?

[sage tendon]

i have it the same way

is there a difference?

[little cobalt]

for commands.Bot you use commands.Cog

for discord.Bot you use discord.Cog

[sage tendon]

my bot was bridge before so thats probably a remainder of that

any notable difference?

[shell radish]

the distinction is more nuanced than that.

commands.Cog can include text-based commands, while discord.Cog can't.

[sage tendon]

my bot is slash only, so i guess i should change it to be discord.Cog?

[shell radish]

yeah

[sage tendon]

any benefits or downsides from that

[little cobalt]

time to google what distinction and nuanced means

[sage tendon]

lol

[shell radish]

rela

[sage tendon]

?

also, i have commands.cooldown, but there is no discord.cooldown, so, what do

same for buckets

Oh I guess i can also change commands.Cog.listener to discord.Cog.listener?

[shell radish]

yeah

[shell radish]

no, it's just the text-based commands themselves that is restricted

[sage tendon]

what

so commands.cooldown doesnt work for slash?

[shell radish]

it works

you just can't just @commands.command() for discord.Cog

[sage tendon]

ah

[cursive sparrow]

how can I send multiple responses to one interraction?

[shell radish]

why?

?tag xy

[limber wagon]

An XY problem is when you're trying to ask about your attempted solution, rather than your actual problem.

You are trying to solve problem X, using solution Y. Instead of asking for help with X, you ask about Y. This only results in frustration as whoever is trying to help you needs to ask several questions before even beginning to help you with your actual issue, wasting both their own, and your time. Always include as much information as you can about your problem, including attempted solutions. If there are solutions you've ruled out, include them along with an explanation as to why you've ruled them out.

[fresh sierra]

interaction.response.send, then interaction.followup.send, interaction.channel.send etc etc

[sage tendon]

you can also just respond twice and the library will handle it, but again, this

[fresh sierra]

with interaction.respond not interaction.response

[sage tendon]

ctx.respond() works twice

[cursive sparrow]

thank you!

[sage tendon]

bruh

[fresh totem]

I'm not sure but it works aight

[errant trout]

...? This is wrong

choices are bound to the command, they don't regenerate even if you make it a function until you re-sync

[sage tendon]

wut? srsly?

[errant trout]

Yes

[sage tendon]

wtf

[errant trout]

That's why autocomplete exists

[sage tendon]

my bad

[errant trout]

Nah allgood

[sage tendon]

but autocmplet sucks

[errant trout]

I mean, it does what it needs to

And isn't limited to 25 options

[sage tendon]

how many?

[fresh sierra]

infinite i guess

[sage tendon]

at a time i mean

[fresh sierra]

25 i think

[errant trout]

discord will display 25 at max, but you can essentially return infinite

[fresh sierra]

i dont understand something, can someone help me
In my before invoke, bot_.ping.embed.description print "test"

    xp_ = YamlNamespace(lang_data.get("xp"))
    #--------------------Info--------------------#
    info_ = YamlNamespace(lang_data.get("info"))
    #--------------------Bot--------------------#
    bot_ = YamlNamespace(lang_data.get("bot"))
    #--------------------Others--------------------#
    error_ = YamlNamespace(lang_data.get("error"))
    var_ = YamlNamespace(lang_data.get("var"))
    print(bot_.ping.embed.description)

howver in my command : print("ping /", bot_.ping.embed.description) return

ping / `{bot_emoji}`┆**Ping** : `{bot_latency}` ms
`{db_emoji}`┆**Latence de la Base de Données** : `{db_latency}` ms`

why does even if it print the bot_.ping.embed.description as the one it should be, it still then print the wrong one ?

i hate when it does that

[sage tendon]

nice codeblock

[fresh sierra]

maybe i need to reload the cog to get the update

[sage tendon]

yea, you arent closing it

it needs to be on a new line

[fresh sierra]

you mean my codeblock ?

cos i closed it

[sage tendon]

.

[fresh sierra]

that doesnt change anything

is because of the _ i guess

[sage tendon]

no

you are not closing the codeblock

[fresh sierra]

like
there are ```py at the begining so

[sage tendon]

the ``` needs to be on a new line.

[fresh sierra]

as done here

[sage tendon]

.

[fresh sierra]

also the case

[sage tendon]

no

[sage tendon]

yea

[fresh sierra]

its because of the _

[errant trout]

just screenshot

[sage tendon]

    xp_ = YamlNamespace(lang_data.get("xp"))
    #--------------------Info--------------------#
    info_ = YamlNamespace(lang_data.get("info"))
    #--------------------Bot--------------------#
    bot_ = YamlNamespace(lang_data.get("bot"))
    #--------------------Others--------------------#
    error_ = YamlNamespace(lang_data.get("error"))
    var_ = YamlNamespace(lang_data.get("var"))
    print(bot_.ping.embed.description)

howver in my command : print("ping /", bot_.ping.embed.description) return

ping / `{bot_emoji}`┆**Ping** : `{bot_latency}` ms
`{db_emoji}`┆**Latence de la Base de Données** : `{db_latency}` ms`

[sage tendon]

weird that it works hwen i do it

[errant trout]

that's a cog, right?

[fresh sierra]

how ??

[errant trout]

the command isn't an attribute to bot, it exists separately

[fresh sierra]

hovewer

[errant trout]

you should use bot.get_application_command with your full command name, including groups

[fresh sierra]

its a cog

and i used the bot.before_invoke

to get the translation working first

[errant trout]

have you ever actually specified a ping variable, or is it just the command

[fresh sierra]

the bot_.ping is a variable

[sage tendon]

no empty line

[fresh sierra]

ok thanks

[errant trout]

can you show exactly where it's defined

[fresh sierra]

even without

[sage tendon]

you cant have text the line above it

[fresh sierra]

class YamlNamespace:
    def __init__(self, data):
        for key, value in data.items():
            if isinstance(value, dict):
                setattr(self, key, YamlNamespace(value))
            else:
                setattr(self, key, value)

[errant trout]

...you can, it's some other weird formatting issue

[fresh sierra]

so basically it goes into my yaml

and then add value to each one

it work perfectly fine, im just a little bit surprise about why even after editing the bot it doesnt change, but i guess its because i didnt reload the data that im importing in the command

i will try

[errant trout]

indeed, you need to refresh

but also, you can't update a command description without restarting

(you can do it internally, but it won't show on discord)

[fresh sierra]

i think its more about the importlib.reload(data), the file where the variable are

i will try

so

i have some problem with the way im getting the translation

i need to do a function or it will reload everytime the thing is with the async function
so like that

async def translation(ctx: discord.ApplicationContext=None):
    global xp_, info_, bot_, error_, var_

    if not ctx:
        lang_data = load_yaml('Resources/Languages/french.yaml')
    elif ctx.guild.preferred_locale == "en":
        lang_data = load_yaml('Resources/Languages/english.yaml')
    elif ctx.guild.preferred_locale == "fr":
        lang_data = load_yaml('Resources/Languages/english.yaml')
    elif ctx.guild.preferred_locale == "custom":
        lang_data = load_yaml('Resources/Languages/custom.yaml')

    #--------------------XP--------------------#
    xp_ = YamlNamespace(lang_data.get("xp"))
    #--------------------Info--------------------#
    info_ = YamlNamespace(lang_data.get("info"))
    #--------------------Bot--------------------#
    bot_ = YamlNamespace(lang_data.get("bot"))
    #--------------------Others--------------------#
    error_ = YamlNamespace(lang_data.get("error"))
    var_ = YamlNamespace(lang_data.get("var"))
    print(bot_.ping.embed.description)

asyncio.run(translation())

i will get this error RuntimeError: There is no current event loop in thread 'MainThread'.

but with a def function i will get the error before_invoke expect a corotine

does someone has an idea ?

[errant trout]

can you show the full traceback

[fresh sierra]

its because i used the asyc,io.run(translation before the bot even start

so it raise me an error at my bot = class telleming me tha

[errant trout]

well, yeah... you can't do it before it's started

ah

do it in on_connect

[fresh totem]

Why isn't autocomplete able to shortlist down to the relevant search item

[fresh sierra]

ik but i still need to defined variable before

[errant trout]

you have to do that yourself

[fresh sierra]

hoeverwer i might found a solution

i will try

[errant trout]

you can override the on_connect event, just make sure to sync commands last. This is the default event ```py
async def on_connect(self):
if self.auto_sync_commands:
await self.sync_commands()

[fresh totem]

I know a bot programmed in Hikari, and it's able to shortlist the search

[errant trout]

you can, but again you have to handle it yourself in your autocomplete function

if it's not narrowing you returned something wrong

[fresh sierra]

not but like if i dont do it before, it will raise me unknow bot_

cos i will use it before its even initalised

[errant trout]

why can't you do it after

[fresh sierra]

i was trying that

if not locals().get('xp_'):
    default_data = load_yaml('Resources/Languages/french.yaml')

    if result == "fr":
        lang_data = load_yaml('Resources/Languages/french.yaml')
    elif result == "en":
        lang_data = load_yaml('Resources/Languages/english.yaml')
        if missing_keys(default_data, lang_data):
            lang_data = load_yaml('Resources/Languages/french.yaml')
    elif result == "custom":
        lang_data = load_yaml('Resources/Languages/custom.yaml')
        if missing_keys(default_data, lang_data):
            lang_data = load_yaml('Resources/Languages/french.yaml')

    # Initialize the YamlNamespace objects
    xp_ = YamlNamespace(lang_data.get("xp"))
    info_ = YamlNamespace(lang_data.get("info"))
    bot_ = YamlNamespace(lang_data.get("bot"))
    error_ = YamlNamespace(lang_data.get("error"))
    var_ = YamlNamespace(lang_data.get("var"))

async def translation(ctx: discord.ApplicationContext=None):
    global xp_, info_, bot_, error_, var_

    if not ctx:
        lang_data = load_yaml('Resources/Languages/french.yaml')
    elif ctx.guild.preferred_locale == "en":
        lang_data = load_yaml('Resources/Languages/english.yaml')
    elif ctx.guild.preferred_locale == "fr":
        lang_data = load_yaml('Resources/Languages/english.yaml')
    elif ctx.guild.preferred_locale == "custom":
        lang_data = load_yaml('Resources/Languages/custom.yaml')

    # Update the YamlNamespace objects with the new lang_data
    xp_ = YamlNamespace(lang_data.get("xp"))
    info_ = YamlNamespace(lang_data.get("info"))
    bot_ = YamlNamespace(lang_data.get("bot"))
    error_ = YamlNamespace(lang_data.get("error"))
    var_ = YamlNamespace(lang_data.get("var"))
    
    print(bot_.ping.embed.description)
    importlib.reload(data)
    importlib.reload(data)

but that doesnt work

[errant trout]

why

[fresh sierra]

idk actually

i will try

[errant trout]

the on_connect event is where commands sync, so if you do it there then it should work fine.

[fresh sierra]

the bot_.ping is still the value before the change

[errant trout]

can you show your autocomplete function

[fresh totem]

class reporterCommands(commands.Cog):

    async def getCollections(ctx: discord.AutocompleteContext):
        """Collections List"""

        with open('collectionList.json', 'r') as File:
            data = json.load(File)
            return data.keys()

    def __init__(self, bot_: discord.Bot):
        self.bot = bot_

    analytics = SlashCommandGroup("analytics", "Analytics Commands", guild_ids=adminServer)

    @analytics.command()
    async def reporter(self, ctx: discord.ApplicationContext, reporter: Option(str, "Reporter Name", autocomplete=getCollections)):

[fresh sierra]

nah i forgot that the cog

will be undefinied

[errant trout]

cogs should exist before connect though

[fresh sierra]

its the case, but because i didnt defin the variable before the on_connect

[errant trout]

right, your autocomplete returns the ENTIRE list; what you need to do is filter it by ctx.value, which is the text the user input

[fresh sierra]

it will give me that error

it way more complex that what i was thinking

[errant trout]

i think you need to consider the structure in more detail before doing this

the order specifically for this would be something like load cogs -> bot.run -> apply descriptions -> sync

[fresh sierra]

i think what im doing is like really not optimal

[errant trout]

probably

[fresh totem]

how can I do this please, example?

[fresh sierra]

but i dont even know if what i want to do if possible

[errant trout]

i mean... iterate through your list and check if in string

something like [x for x in data.keys() if ctx.value in x]

[fresh totem]

aight, ctx.value

[errant trout]

autocompletecontext also has some other attributes that can be used creatively https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api/application_commands.html#discord.AutocompleteContext

[fresh sierra]

    @subcommand(f"{bot_.name}")
    @commands.slash_command(name=bot_.ping.name, description=bot_.ping.description)
    async def ping(self, ctx: discord.ApplicationContext):
        print("ping /", bot_.ping.embed.description)

[errant trout]

it is, you just need to restructure

[fresh sierra]

do you think with a code like that, i can for each one it can go on a function to translate using the context and then work correctly ?

[errant trout]

wait, is this for translation?

[fresh sierra]

yeah kinda, i want to be abble to change the value of bot_.ping.name based in each user or guild

[errant trout]

that's a built in discord feature using localizations

[fresh sierra]

but through a function cos i need to be abble to change depending on a setting that they put in the database, they local user or guild

[sage tendon]

I suggested that already

[errant trout]

oh

[sage tendon]

they say it's not sufficient

idk

[errant trout]

but yeah, what you're doing is not possible then

[fresh sierra]

yes but apparntly i cannot use my database with that

[errant trout]

you can't translate live

[fresh sierra]

i think it is because of this

https://github.com/Dorukyum/pycord-i18n/blob/main/pycord/i18n/__init__.py

that does what i try to do

but just differently

[errant trout]

yes, that uses discord's method which is interaction based

you cannot do it through DB

i18n submits all valid translations on sync, then uses the client language to translate

the bot does no extra processing

[fresh sierra]

i could not just here

    @classmethod
    def get_text(cls, original: str, *format_args: object) -> str:
        """Translate a string based on the `translations` attribute of the I18n instance.
        Returns the passed string if a translation for the current locale isn't found.
        If `format_args` is given, the output string will be formatted using `text.format(*format_args)`.
        """

        self = I18n.instance
        text = (
            translation
            if (translations := self.translations.get(self.current_locale))
            and (translation := translations.get(original))
            else original
        )
        if format_args:
            return text.format(*format_args)
        return text

change to first checkx in my db the langague

and translate in purpose

[errant trout]

get_text is for custom string translation in the callback

it does not do names and descriptions

[fresh sierra]

for example if result is fr it does that etc

[fresh sierra]

ooo

only for after

[errant trout]

yep

[fresh totem]

Thank you, able to shortlist the search now! 🙃

[errant trout]

allgood

[fresh sierra]

so even here

    def localize_commands(self) -> None:
        """Localize pending commands. This doesn't update commands on Discord
        and should be ran prior to `bot.sync_commands`."""

        for locale, localized in self.localizations.items():
            for command_name, localizations in localized.items():
                if command := utils.get(
                    self.bot._pending_application_commands, qualified_name=command_name
                ):
                    self._localize_command(
                        command,
                        locale,
                        localizations,
                    )

i will not be abble to do it add the database

what i was trying to do was just impossible i guess

[errant trout]

pretty much yeah

discord tries to move certain features to be user-focused rather than dev-focused

just like permissions are set by server admins, localization is based on the user's app language

[fresh sierra]

a lot of time lost but that okay snif

[errant trout]

which you can access from interaction.locale

[fresh sierra]

because for the moment i was doing it per bot

each bot can change the langage

but i was wanting to do it by guild

but not possible that sad

and i also think i cant combine both

[errant trout]

you can still translate the output, but the names and descriptions are 100% user dependent

[fresh sierra]

yes but name and description were also important but that okay

wait maybe i will do

[errant trout]

i mean, why not just use discord's system?

[fresh sierra]

everything else name and description

and in other the name and descritpion

[fresh sierra]

because i want user to be abble to customizable there bot with a custom yaml

and the thing is there will be 3 things so

french

english

[errant trout]

then it's out of your hands

[fresh sierra]

and custom

but so now since its not possible

i will maybe change

is that possible to combine both ?

[errant trout]

no matter what, you cannot control name and description after the bot has started

[fresh sierra]

yeah so not really

like i can but only with the localization

so its user based

and i cannot interact with that

when ur genious is limited by discord

that sad

i think i will do :

• localization for name and description
• custom text per guild for the other

[rare condor]

Does embeds have like a limit of image size?

width and height i mean

[sage tendon]

it just gets cropped down ig

not cropped down, scaled down

[nova epoch]

Is there a way to force the bot to run it's help command if it's mentioned? I tried: py @bot.event async def on_message(message): if message.author == bot.user: return if message.content == bot.user.mention: await bot.process_applicaition_commands(_help())
where _help() is the definition of my bot's help command, but it wanted an interaction object instead?
The only usage I could find of bot.process_applicaition_commands was in on_interaction events to continue the processing of the interaction.
Thanks!

[sage tendon]

just call the function lol

[nova epoch]

Is it fr that simple?

[sage tendon]

try and see

[nova epoch]

Bruh I been overcomplicating all this if that actually works ;-;

[sage tendon]

i mean im tired but i dont see why not

[nova epoch]

It doesn't, raises: Ignoring exception in on_message Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Users\there\AppData\Local\Packages\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.11_qbz5n2kfra8p0\LocalCache\local-packages\Python311\site-packages\discord\client.py", line 400, in _run_event await coro(*args, **kwargs) File "C:\Users\there\OneDrive\Desktop\Projects\Bots\MSA Bot\main.py", line 59, in on_message await _help() ^^^^^^^ TypeError: ApplicationCommand.__call__() missing 1 required positional argument: 'ctx'
Also tried passing in discord.ApplicationContext to the function as both args and kwargs but still raised the same error :/

[nova epoch]

Yeah no shi, its 1am for u 😭

[sage tendon]

yea its probably in a cog so it wants self too
i think this is kind of a dumb idea after all

:> i am so helpful (sorry)

[rare condor]

Is there a way to place the link in the word on the embeds title? like: Google
I tried it and it did not work as it should

[shell radish]

url = …

[rare condor]

yea fr

i forgot that

[shell radish]

lol

[rare condor]

Is there a way to make a slashcommand group inside of another group?

wait

i think its subgroup

[shell radish]

yeah

[rugged lodge]

Here's the slash groups example.

[rare condor]

there is no actually example about subgroups here but i will find out

[errant trout]

processing an application command on a regular message probably won't work

why not offset the output to a separate function which is easier to call

[manic glen]

Just a quick question, I just upgraded to py-cord 2.5 but now my bridge command are not working with prefix anyone know the fix ?

[manic glen]

for eg this command

    @bridge.bridge_command(name="order",description="Place your order")
    @modules.checks.in_any_channel(channels = ["📩-order-here"])
    @commands.cooldown(3, 15, commands.BucketType.user)
    @option("item",description="name of item")
    @option("amount",description="amount you wanna buy")
    @option("priority",description="which priority you want your order to be",choices=["normal", "high"])
    @option("info",description="Additional info / mention storage")
    async def order(self, ctx, item, amount, priority, *, info = None):

[halcyon hearth]

how do i do cooldowns for prefix commands (or just something to stop users from spamming the command)

oop, im stupid

the answers literally right above

[errant trout]

see #1132206148309749830 message

[manic glen]

Thanks will try 👍🏼

[fresh sierra]

you can get the context from a message

[vital bramble]

Is it possible to set the status to the phone icon?
I can set it to idle, do not disturb etc. with change_presence, but can I set it to the phone status?

[sage tendon]

Never seen it before, don't think so
But check the docs for the presence types

[vital bramble]

It's not in the docs, that's why I was asking. Thx.

[sage tendon]

yea, doesn't look like you can

[frail basin]

Ive seen it done on bots, tho they were using d.js

[rare condor]

What's the best practice when a Select has more than 25 options? Add another Select for the rest of the options?

[rare condor]

forget that, the best should be NOT having more than 25 options

[errant trout]

one day we'll get autocomplete in selects... maybe...

[sage tendon]

Or, hear me out, dynamic choices

for options

[glossy latch]

how can bot log boosting user

[nova epoch]

Are you asking how long a boost can be tracked by a bot?

[glossy latch]

nope

i want to make a thanking image for users who boost the guild

idk the event function name for this

[nova epoch]

You can use the on_boost and on_boost_expire events to track users who boost the guild. If you wish, you can store the timestamps of each event when they fire and use that to track the ammount of time the boost lasted.

[glossy latch]

i get it thx

LL

[glossy latch]

I didn't fount it in the docs

[sage tendon]

yea you're right, i can't find it here

[nova epoch]

gottem

@glossy latch | Turns out that Pycord doesn't have an on_boost event. You can, however, use the on_message function in conjunction with discord.MessgeType.premium_guild_subscription to check to server boosts.

Documentation: https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/enums.html#discord.MessageType.premium_guild_subscription

[glossy latch]

Thx bro

[lofty parcel]

The hell did you get this information from

That looks like chat gpt or something

[nova epoch]

It's from discord.py - I moved here from there not that long ago ;-;

[sage tendon]

these will be sent in https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/models.html#discord.Guild.system_channel btw

[frail laurel]

Why even though I'm specifying a guild id on which command will work it still shows up everywhere

[sage tendon]

show your code

yea, thats not right

guild_ids=

[nova epoch]

?tag codeblock

[limber wagon]

Please put your code in a code block:
```py
Here is your Code
```

That makes reading code in Discord a lot easier:

print("This is an example.")

[sage tendon]

literally does not matter here

[frail laurel]

welp

[nova epoch]

well no but people get into habits of attaching images with large chunks of code and it just gets annoying for everyone

[sage tendon]

again, a screenshot is just better here

with codeblocks, people tend to write their code by hand for short stuff, and then they write it differently than it actually is

screenshots > codeblocks for short snippets

[nova epoch]

yea i guess :p

[fresh sierra]

you can add button

like 1 select

with 3 buttons, one left, one at the middle that tell you select menu/select menu total, one right

then the user can click on the right button and will edit the select menu to put the next one etc

[fresh sierra]

doesnt exist in pycord

[sage tendon]

we went over that now

[nova epoch]

^ I also said that.

[fresh sierra]

i know i was going to send u the good one

let me 5s

on_guild_update

then you check if the premium_subscription_count is different

and you have ur event

[sage tendon]

or do this

[fresh sierra]

it doesnt work everytime that the things

[sage tendon]

yes, it does, at least for added boosts

[fresh sierra]

so you can combine both

[fresh sierra]

when you say at least it mean that it doesnt work everytime

like for unboost

[sage tendon]

thats exactly what i just said

[fresh sierra]

without this there are like no way to know if someone remove only 1 boost

no you say yes it work everytime

[nova epoch]

Works 100% but only if the option to send messages on boost is enabled.

[shell radish]

not if the server has that setting disabled

[fresh sierra]

and no that not the case

[sage tendon]

true

[fresh sierra]

also

[sage tendon]

i forgot you can even do that
