Basic Pycord Help

[upper flint]

If it does this by itself, why not? Saved a file, waited 2 seconds while it restarted and voila

[errant trout]

idk if you'd really want to restart everytime but eh whatever, i mean ultimately it depends on your setup? how you detect the file changes, beyond that ending the process and having a command to start it again doesn't seem impossible

[upper flint]

Right now I'm trying to use pymon for this

Just thought anyone had experience with this kind of problem

[errant trout]

maybe inotify https://stackoverflow.com/a/33469308

py-mon looks pretty good too

[fresh sierra]

if you are using github, you can do a loop that when the git is not up to date it updated it and restart ur bot

you can also just reload cog or use the function importlib.reload to reload a file that is not from a cog

[upper flint]

Well, yes and no. In order for bot to refresh this way I'd need to push updates to github by creating a new commit to repository

This way, repo will flood with a lot of commits with 1-2 changed lines

It's ok though, I already did what I planned to

I ended up using watchdog for monitoring file changes. I binded my dev directory with src directory in docker and now it works like a charm. Every update is almost instant, no need to do anything at all

[fresh sierra]

yes

but like

if every time you edit a file its restart

it will do a lot of restart no ?

[upper flint]

Yes, indeed

[fresh sierra]

Consider looking for a better option without ur bot restarting if you plan to have a bot public, (more user mean it will take way more time to reach the on_ready like 30min)

[upper flint]

No, I don't use it for production. Of course my main container is always up and running w/o constant restarts

I have a separate bot instance in which I develop and test my code. It's on it's own isolated server so no one except me has access to it

So there are no problems with command propagation

[fresh sierra]

perfect so

if that can help you

im using a command /update that make the bot up to date and restart it

[fresh sierra]

Why does guild doesnt have any attribute guild attribute fetch_role while it has every other fetch ?

[edgy nest]

because you can't fetch a single role

[sage tendon]

should be possible imo

[fresh sierra]

why ?

[edgy nest]

because you literally can't

it's impossible to fetch just one

it's all or none

[fresh sierra]

like discord doesnt allow it

[edgy nest]

yes

[fresh sierra]

that kinda stupid

like if you have an id of the role

so you have to fetch all the role to then itinerate in it to find the corresponding id

[edgy nest]

just fetch all and filter

[fresh sierra]

im using the method guild._fetch_role

but yeah if not i will have to use the fetch_all and filter

[edgy nest]

that's what _fetch_role does

[fresh sierra]

what intput_type should i use for an message_id ?

should i use float and then convert to int or someone has a better way to deal with that

[sage tendon]

string

and then do int(message_id_string)

[fresh sierra]

that doesnt work

string works thanks

[fresh sierra]

How can i use paginator to put 2 embed in each page ?

        for result in results:
            id, embed_data = result
            embed = discord.Embed.from_dict(eval(embed_data))
            id_embed = discord.Embed(title=str(id))
            embeds.append(embed, id_embed)
        paginator = pages.Paginator(pages=embeds, timeout=None)

like something like that

[lofty parcel]

Create a list of pages instead of just passing embeds
https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/ext/pages/index.html#discord.ext.pages.Page.embeds

[granite pier]

why do u use eval

[fresh sierra]

im just dumb, i should do embeds.append([embed, id_embed])

thanks dark

[fresh sierra]

to convert it from str to dict

[edgy nest]

use the json lib

[fresh sierra]

eval works too ;)

and less code

[granite pier]

but its not safe

[fresh sierra]

why ?

[granite pier]

import json

embed = discord.Embed.from_dict(json.loads(embed_data))

same length, just 1 more import

[edgy nest]

arbitrary code execution

[granite pier]

yeah

an attacker could use it

[fresh sierra]

i dont really see a world where they can

[edgy nest]

youre living in it

[fresh sierra]

tell me if im wrong

[sage tendon]

you are wrong

[edgy nest]

you're wrong

[fresh sierra]

wait lmaoo

the embed_data is just the embed.to_dict, how can the eval of that can do something ?

[granite pier]

what is embed_data

how do you get/define it

[fresh sierra]

its an embed.to_dict()

that its store in my database

like how can he used that to attack my bot

[sage tendon]

embed content :)

[fresh sierra]

its an str

eval an str doesnt execute code no ?

[granite pier]

it does

you can use e.g. eval("1+2")

[fresh sierra]

i will try

[fresh sierra]

well

still give me the same

but yeah if i only eval 1+2 its does 3 thanks for make me learn that

code = eval(str({'fields': [], 'type': 'rich', 'title': '1+2'}))
print(code)
# outpout = {'fields': [], 'type': 'rich', 'title': '1+2'}

i dont think that eval can be used by an attacker since its a str(json) like that, but if someone knows an exploit where the eval can work feel free to ping me

[granite pier]

overall eval is used to evaluate code

[fresh sierra]

and with json.load i havean error:

import json

code = json.load(str({'fields': [], 'type': 'rich', 'title': '1+2'}))
print(code)
# AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'read'

[granite pier]

loads

not load

load accept file

[fresh sierra]

json.decoder.JSONDecodeError: Expecting property name enclosed in double quotes: line 1 column 2 (char 1)

[sage tendon]

make it double quotes

[fresh sierra]

well i cant

(without having to do a replace everytime to replace ' to ")

[sage tendon]

just change it in that one line lol what

[fresh sierra]

that how discord return the embed.to_dict

[edgy nest]

tada

it's running code and caused a syntax error

[fresh sierra]

thanks ;)

can you send me the text ?

i like to try thing

but even the user cant really do that

[edgy nest]

{'test': 'test'}; print("a");#'}

[fresh sierra]

{"fields": [], "type": "rich", "title": "1+2"}

he can only edit the 1+2

[edgy nest]

i terminated the dict early and added code after

same concept as SQL injection

[fresh sierra]

i will try it rn

[edgy nest]

or you could just change 2 lines of code and use a standard library for parsing json

eval is also just bad practice

if you're using eval you're doing something wrong

[fresh sierra]

i tried with json

[granite pier]

lemme check sth

[fresh sierra]

however i got an error

[granite pier]

i have an idea

[edgy nest]

because you're not dumping it properly

[fresh sierra]

this one

how should i dump it ?

[edgy nest]

you can't just cast a dict to string

use json.dumps

[fresh sierra]

i tried ur exploit

seems like it doesnt change anything

[fresh sierra]

ok thanks

[edgy nest]

is that base64

[fresh sierra]

yep

code = eval(str({'fields': [], 'type': 'rich', 'title': '{\'test\': \'test\'}; print("a");#\'}'}))
print(code)
# outpout {'fields': [], 'type': 'rich', 'title': '{\'test\': \'test\'}; print("a");#\'}'}

its the timestamp convert into base64

to then be able to load the embed

[fresh sierra]

ok tell me if you find anything

[granite pier]

I mean that eval in general is not safe and can work well, however, there will always be a person who comes up with something so you anyway should consider it unsafe

[fresh sierra]

yes better safe than sorry

[granite pier]

mostly someone with try with closing quotes like plun above

also u can use unicode in eval

[deft kestrel]

What permissions are required to send messages in channels?
Checking using can_send returns True but send throws a Forbidden 50013 exception. This behaviour happens in production

[sage tendon]

send_messages lol

and i think also view channel

[deft kestrel]

The bot has that permission but it still throws Forbidden

I added a check before the call for this permission but it didn't work

and yes I made it check for the channel, not the server

[round heart]

Does it have the View Channels permission on the target channel? Frustratingly, that's a requirement in order for it to be able to send a message.

[deft kestrel]

this is what it looks like rn

still throws an exception right under when I call send on the channel

there shouldn't be any line ending issues as I have git configured to convert to Unix

and the bot server runs Debian 12 which I updated 2 hours ago so there shouldn't be an issue

[sage tendon]

is it only for that channel or any channel

[deft kestrel]

Only for that channel

might try out with different discord permission settings

[sage tendon]

check the permission overrides for that channel, maybe something is weird

and also try viewing the server as the bot role

[fresh sierra]

does the bot has the good scope ?

or that doesnt matter

[sage tendon]

also fyi you can use delete_after=5 in the send() to schedule deletion automatically

[fresh sierra]

can we saw the channel_perms definition ?

[deft kestrel]

how do I convert Member instance to User instance or is that the same thing essentially

[fresh sierra]

even if normally that doesnt change anything the channel.can_send should check that also

[fresh sierra]

member is also user

user is not member

[deft kestrel]

oh ok

so I can ignore the warning

[sage tendon]

there is member.user i think but you usually never need that because member has everything user has

[sage tendon]

what warning

[sage tendon]

i think thats just a typehint error, permissions for a user make no sense

[fresh sierra]

just a dumb question but

[deft kestrel]

I think the check for overrides may have patched the bug, I'll check in a while, meanwhile I'll implement proper logging

[fresh sierra]

why are you using can_send() and check if it has the perm ?

like just use can_send()

[deft kestrel]

because can_send() for some reason returns true and then it throws an error at literally the next line saying Missing Permissions

[fresh sierra]

if it does that

i think you should open an issue on github

[deft kestrel]

I don't think can_send() checks permission overwrites

[fresh sierra]

i will check the code

[sage tendon]

it should

[fresh sierra]

it does

            if not getattr(channel.permissions_for(channel.guild.me), permission):
                return False

but maybe

your bot just have any permission in the whole guild

and not only in the channel

(even if the can_send should handle that)

[sage tendon]

you could also print the exception text, maybe it has some info

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/exceptions.html#discord.HTTPException

[stray pasture]

When I rerun a slash command it sometime give me NOT found error

The first time I run the slash command it works. After I do the up arrow on keyboard to redo the same command. When I do that, I get error on bot. An embed is still sent, but it is a wrong one ...

Here I I run the command for the first time (no errors):

after I run it a few time, it start crashing and sending wrong embed:

[sage tendon]

show the code

[stray pasture]

for the show, all I am going is creating a paginator, and after

await paginator_server.respond(ctx.interaction, ephemeral=ephemeral)

Maybe it is new version, it never done that before. That code has been working for more than a year

[stray pasture]

    @SHOW_GROUP.command(guild_ids=guildIds, name="member", description="Show all the individual, global and recurrent timed role of a member")
    @option(
        "role",
        description="The member which roles will be show",
        type=Member
    )
    @option(
        "ephemeral",
        description="If the bot respond as ephemeral",
        type=bool,
        default=True
    )
    async def show_timed_role_of_member(self, ctx: ApplicationContext, member: Member, ephemeral: bool):
        await self._show_timed_role_of_member(ctx, member, ephemeral=ephemeral)

[little cobalt]

change the name "role" to "member"

[stray pasture]

sorry sent the wrong command.

    @SHOW_GROUP.command(guild_ids=guildIds, name="me", description="Show all the individual, global and recurrent timed role of you")
    @option(
        "ephemeral",
        description="If the bot respond as ephemeral",
        type=bool,
        default=True
    )
    async def show_timed_role_of_me(self, ctx: ApplicationContext, ephemeral: bool):
        await self._show_timed_role_of_member(ctx, ctx.author, ephemeral=ephemeral)

[sage tendon]

yea idk tbh, something about the interaction already being used or something
Im too tired for this today

[stray pasture]

wait how is this code working 😄

I put the wrong name there, it is not suppose to work

but is does

[sage tendon]

diff command

[stray pasture]

this is the show member

[stray pasture]

that one

[sage tendon]

oh

[stray pasture]

But appart from that, I get the bad Request on all slash commands

if I redo them with up arrow

Even with slash command that have no code changes.

[nova epoch]

Any support for user-installable apps with Py-cord Stable yet?

[lofty parcel]

Theres probably a pr

But wont be merged until discord takes it out of preview

[nova epoch]

Ahhhhhhhhh~
Not me here trying to make a user-installable app...
I've got the guild-install side of it all working, but I'm waiting on what is likely v2.6 to allow user apps 😭

[little cobalt]

I would wait for an update so its stable and tested

[errant trout]

The current PR is stable unless discord changes anything

At the moment they're making up their mind on permissions

So if you wanna use it just install the branch as per the pr's instructions

[nova epoch]

Just found it, #2409 if you want to remember it for anyone else who asks.

Do we know if there's an ETA for when Discord releases user apps officially or when Pycord is supporting with user apps?

[errant trout]

Nope, at minimum when discord takes it out of "preview"

They typically don't give specific timelines on this stuff though

[nova epoch]

Typical Discord. I'm convinced that their business model aims to piss off developers as much as possible-

[sage tendon]

but the profit is rising wdym

[errant trout]

Eh ultimately this is a pretty significant feature with a lot of implications so they have to take their time on it

Seeing the progress on it it shouldn't be too long, and it's still functional as far as we're concerned so using the early PR isn't particularly dangerous at this stage

[nova epoch]

I'm not overly against using the PR, I'm just weiging my options:

• Get an early start on developing my app and hoping that Discord don't change it too much; or
• Wait for ages and pray Discord release it to stable soon, but possibly risk months of lost time.

[errant trout]

At this stage there really isn't a lot they CAN change, but if there are any major changes it'll be clear in the pr

As always, it's "possible" but weighing out everything they've put out so far it's unlikely

[nova epoch]

I'm tempted to just say f*ck it and pray Discord don't screw it up too much

One pip command later...

[errant trout]

I'd just say go for it, if there's any issues leave a comment on the pr or feel free to ask here

Also you can preview the docs for it if you go down to the actions and find readthedocs

[nova epoch]

I think I'm just going to blame Discord if there's any issues because Py-cord is too good to be making errors. Then again, I see Discord just using the "it's in preview" for any issues that come up so that says alot.

Managed to find the docs while looking for the PR, not sure how though...

[little cobalt]

@errant trout can you take a look at #1241170479834988706 , Im to tired and I want to go sleep now

[errant trout]

In a Sec

I love my phone

[little cobalt]

xd

[nova epoch]

I was today years old when I learned you could grab a channel category with .get_channel() - I think that says a lot 🤣

[obsidian blaze]

Is it possible for a bot to send a voice message? (Not sending a .mp3 file)

[shell radish]

no

[obsidian blaze]

Any thoughts on how I can send an audio recording so it shows on mobile as well?

[errant trout]

:(

Idk send it as an mp4

[lofty parcel]

i was about to say that lmfao

[stray pasture]

I had the test bot that I forgot to close in the docker, So 2 instance of the bot running at the same time 😄 🫠

[obsidian blaze]

Oof okay, that sucks but thanks

[errant trout]

yeah pretty silly that the app can't play audio files

[deft kestrel]

i dont really know how but this keeps on erroring ```py
await memeber.add_roles(discord.Role(1239192685022023771), reason="test", atomic=True)

[shell radish]

it should just be discord.Object(1239192685022023771)

[stable yarrow]

What's atomic arg?

[grizzled loom]

can you show me your code, starting with how the command is made, up to this permission check part you just posted, please

[deft kestrel]

from top to bottom:
main.py cog definition
on_message listener in leveling.py
getting channel perms and overrides
and then ✨Le code spaghetti✨

if I remove the channel_overrides check it starts throwing errors

but I think it won't send messages anywhere unless the permissions are overridden as the channel overrides are None

[grizzled loom]

whats the error you're getting?

[fresh sierra]

Can you send everything here

?tag paste

[limber wagon]

Please copy and paste your code here. This makes it easier for everyone helping you.

[fresh sierra]

Including the error, it will be easier for us

[errant trout]

do not bother with can_send and overwrites_for, just use permissions_for

can_send is meant to take the objects you're trying to send, but it should be noted that it doesn't actually check the view_channel permission

[sage tendon]

that's an oversight I'd say

if can_send returns true you should absolutely be able to send

[serene goblet]

Can I have 2 dropdown menu's on the same row of an interaction. I have 5 rows in the following setup

1. 3 buttons
2. disabled button with info text
3. dropdown 1
4. dropdown 2
5. confirm button
   and I would like to add a second dropdown on the same row as the 1st dropdown, is that possible at all or will I need to re-order stuff

[fresh sierra]

Im pretty sure you can’t have 2 dropdown on the same row

[lofty parcel]

You cant.

Dropdowns use a full row.

I believe its 5 items per row, dropdowns use 5.

[serene goblet]

Ah ok, makes sense

[serene goblet]

Can you sned multiple followup messages to interactions? Say I have an interaction which will take a while to process so I defer it and then want to send a followup once the response is partially complete, can I then send another followup when it;s finished?

[fresh sierra]

U have 15 min to do follow up

[serene goblet]

okay, but can I do 2 followups?

[lofty parcel]

.tias

[sly karma]

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

[sage tendon]

why would you need 2 followups is the first question that comes to mind

[fresh sierra]

To answer 2 times to an interaction ?

[sage tendon]

why?

[fresh sierra]

Why not lmao It depend in his code, for example you answer 1 time to ask them to send a message, and answer again afer the bot.wait for

[sage tendon]

2 followups are just clutter, i do not see any use case for that

[errant trout]

toothy please i beg of you, and i mean no offense, learn that people have use cases beyond what you personally use

multiple messages in a single command isn't strange by any stretch of the imagination

[sage tendon]

no but like, you can edit the message, or just use a send, or anything

and i mean i did ask them why, but luma decided i needed the answer from them

i dont know why

[errant trout]

regular bots can use followups and send interchangibly, but in many instances when commands are limited to interactions bots won't be able to use ctx.send

editing is pretty neat, but there's also cases where you don't necessarily want to overwrite the original message

[fresh sierra]

U literally ask me why …

[sage tendon]

yea but now i have 2 answers from 2 people who aren't the person that actually holds the info :>

[errant trout]

i mean, i'm not speaking for them; i'm just speaking in general

[sage tendon]

yea ik but like lol

[errant trout]

"why would you need 2 followups" just sounded a little silly to me

[sage tendon]

yea, because i rarely come across even a single followup in the many bots i use

[fresh sierra]

The fact that everytime u don’t use something u say yeah but why the heck use that

Is disappointing

[shell radish]

deferred responses are followups

[sage tendon]

i just asked them why, both to possibly educate myself and or to suggest a better way of handling it

[fresh sierra]

I give up with u toothy

[sage tendon]

i'm not saying "oh you are so stupid for 2 followups"

[fresh sierra]

U ask me why too

[sage tendon]

quit twisting the words i write

[fresh sierra]

And then u say why luma answer me

[sage tendon]

to my very initial question
i want to know from THEM not you

[shell radish]

the way that you asked it had that connotation

[sage tendon]

should just add /srs behind everything i write here

[fresh sierra]

Doesn’t seem clear that ur not asking that to everyone but only to him

[sage tendon]

"you"

this is pointless, lets just stop

[fresh sierra]

Well yeah you mean him when you never talk about him and when the 2 last message where not from him

I’m sorry to not read ur mind…

[broken pivot]

How can I create a prefix and a slash command at the same time? discord.py have method hybrid_command, is there an analog to this in pycord?

[shell radish]

bridge commands

[fresh sierra]

and you will need the master branch, current branch is broken for bridge

[shadow bear]

how do I add a bridge command without putting it in a cog?

decorating it normally doesn't work, and idk if im supposed to add_command or add_application_command lol

[little cobalt]

?

[shadow bear]

@bridge.bridge_command()
async def ping(ctx: bridge.Context):
    """Checks the latency between the bot and discord."""
    t = f"WebSocket: `{round(ctx.bot.latency * 1000)}ms`"
    await ctx.respond(t, ephemeral=True)

this doesn't get added to the bot since its in the runtime file and not a module

Hold on

I'm thick, @bot.bridge_command

idk why my intellisense didn't show me that existed when I tried it lol

[rain dune]

how can i get discord.Member object from userid and vise-versa

[vital bramble]

discord just did!? Am I dreaming?

[rain dune]

whats that VScode theme, it looks cool

[sage tendon]

Just for understanding, you can't get the member object directly in any way?
And do you know the guild you wanna get the member in?

[shadow bear]

Does bot.run fully close the event loop before returning? or can I still use the loop afterward

[frail ocean]

whats the problem

[shadow bear]

its fine, I fixed it :)

I was using the wrong decorator

[rain dune]

nvm i figured it out thanks for the help

[sharp sleet]

@bot.event
async def on_message(ctx):
    open(f"{ctx.channel.id}_log.txt", 'a').write(ctx.author+": "+ctx.message+"\n")

on_message does not appear to be working unless the bot sends a message, user messages are not causing it to run

[brazen estuary]

this is the error we get when interrupting

[errant trout]

you dont have the message_content intent

[brazen estuary]

# --- BOT ---
intents = discord.Intents.all()
intents.message_content = True
intents.members = True
client = discord.Client(intents=intents)
bot = Bot(command_prefix='&', intents = intents)
``` that's what i thought too so i checked and turns out we do

[errant trout]

are you sure it isn't just erroring

[sage tendon]

you already request all intents lol, no need to overwrite

I know the issue I think

[errant trout]

on_message takes message, not ctx; as such, ctx.message is actually message.message and errors

[sage tendon]

you're using bot.event on a bridge or prefix bot for on_message

doesn't that make it not process anything

[errant trout]

well that's in terms of commands yeah

but they never said commands were the issue

[sharp sleet]

ima make a thread

[errant trout]

unless it is, in which case yeah you need to process them

[sage tendon]

yea true just wanted to bring that up if it becomes an issue

[sharp sleet]

dont want to spam this channel

ill post the whole code

[errant trout]

whatever works

[sharp sleet]

https://discord.com/channels/881207955029110855/1241554304267980881

[sharp sleet]

heres the whole code

[deft kestrel]

ok wtf, it says it has permissions above but still throws missing permissions error?

Source: (Lines 128 to 139)

[sage tendon]

view the channel as the bot role and see if you can send a message

[deft kestrel]

I don't have access to the server

I don't even know what server this is happening on

[rain dune]

    order_group = SlashCommandGroup(
        name="order", 
        description="Manage Everything related to order",
        checks=[
            commands.has_permissions(administrator=True)
        ],
        guild_ids=[974347594866237461]
    )

why commands.has_permissions(administrator=True) dont work for slash command groups

[errant trout]

do you want it to be hidden on discord?

[rain dune]

yeah

[errant trout]

you should use default_permissions

[rain dune]

.rtfm default_permissions

[sly karma]

1 results

discord.commands.default_permissions

[rain dune]

alright

[errant trout]

rather, default_member_permissions; this takes a Permissions object https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api/application_commands.html#discord.SlashCommandGroup.default_member_permissions

default_permissions is the decorator version

[sage tendon]

then i dont know, sorry

[manic glen]

does reset_cooldown() will reset cooldown for all user or for current user ?

[errant trout]

whatever bucket you selected

in other words, it completely resets it

[manic glen]

I'm using user
is there any way to reset for a particular user.

[sage tendon]

then reset_cooldown would reset it for that particular user in the current interaction id guess

or do you wanna reset it for someone else

[manic glen]

for that particular user

[nova epoch]

Looking for a little advice, not specifically Pycord but this seems to be a good place to ask.
I'm making a bot that can be both installed to a User & to a Guild. When storing data from these commands, would it be best to have 2 DBs - one for users & one for guilds or 1 DB for both methods to share?
TIA

[sage tendon]

one DB, two tables

[nova epoch]

That's what I meant by 2 DBs - whoops 😭
Thanks though

[sage tendon]

(thats how i'd do it)

[fresh sierra]

in the same table you can do for example guild_id = .... if its the guild and if its for global you can do guild_id = 0

i will do that

[sage tendon]

i mean ultimately it depends on what you wanna save

[fresh sierra]

depend on your preference and code ig

[nova epoch]

That's not quite how this bot would work. When installed to a user, commands only work in a DM channel. When installed to a guild, you can only use the setup commands in a channel in that guild.
It makes sense to me at least.

In terms of what I'm storing, I'm essentially making a message tags bot, similar to Dyno/Carl ?tag commands. It's just going to be data for the tag name, tag content and who owns the tag (member or guild id).

Not too sure how exactly I'm going to do this yet but any suggestions would be appreciated.

[sage tendon]

I mean yea, you could make one boolean column "guild", and then an "ID" column that saves either the guild or the user ID
or you seperate it into two tables, might be a bit cleaner

i would seperate it personally

[fresh sierra]

well you can do for your table :
guild_id
member
name
content

if its in guild you save also the guild_id, if not you put None for guild id.

so if user app select * where member = ... and guild select * where guild_id =

depend on ur preference

i personally prefer not having 2 tables that will do the same thing just for user app and normal app

[nova epoch]

I'm tempted to make 2 different tables, just not too sure exactly how I want to do it yet. Trying to figure out the logistics of what needs to be stored for each type of interaction (user/guild) and how to separate these methods, tempting to use 2d classes:

class db:
  # blah blah
  class user_install:
      # put all the user_install methods here
  class guild_install:
      # put the guild_install methods here```
Also trying to figure out with a little testing if `iscord.IntegrationType` is data that's passed with an interaction or not, trying to use ```py
if discord.IntegrationType == 0:  #guild
if discord.IntegrationType == 1:  #user```

[sage tendon]

id just check if its a DM or not since you said its DM for user, and channel for guild install

is any better way to send DM to a user whos only userID is know to me? rather than get_user

[nova epoch]

I have this logic at the moment. Just not sure how I'm going to actually make the methods. I'm literally just brainstorming ideas at the moment, did you want to see my rough outline?

[sage tendon]

not really, you need to get the user somehow to send a dm

[sage tendon]

tbh i hate any kind of code that handles DB actions, and i'm not great in it
I know SQL fine but the "connection" part just kills me

so i wont be much help lol

[nova epoch]

Yeah I'm quite new to DBs. This is the kinda thing I'm going for - hopefully it makes a little more sense than my waffle:

[sage tendon]

yea, i mean the discord-side of things is simple enough really, you just need to make sure to address the proper DB functions (e.g. tag_save_user vs. tag_save_guild)

DB schema should also be simple enough for both tables
Just User / Guild ID | tag name | content i suppose

[fresh sierra]

get or fetch user

[rain dune]

alright

[nova epoch]

Not too sure how I'd go about distinguishing user ids from guild ids though, think it would be better for me to use seperate tables and then I can search the tables dependent on where the command was executed.

[sage tendon]

Yea that's why I'd do two tables

yea that was what i was suggesting, imo the cleanest way

[nova epoch]

Yeah, I'll consult some of my friends and see if they can give me a hand with this db stuff, not too sure how much it'll help but there's only one way to find out.
Thanks for the help :)

[sage tendon]

np

Just start with something, that'll get you most of the way there
you can always change stuff later

[nova epoch]

Was the plan, just going to see what happens.
Worst case scenario, I have to start the DB stuff again 🤷

[sage tendon]

meh if you just do two tables with the schema I said I don't see much need to change that

[nova epoch]

Neither, just going to hope my friends can give me a hand - some of them have been doing dbs for many years so hopefully all will be okay :p

[sage tendon]

yea it'll be fine

[nova epoch]

Just quick question, would you advise 2d classes?

class db:
    class user_install:
        pass
    class guild_install:
        pass```

[sage tendon]

never used something like that, no idea

I'd just duplicate the functions for the dB access in the dB class, once for guild and once for users
but maybe that works better but yea

[nova epoch]

Yeah I have no idea what's better - I'll just do some experimenting and see what works I guess

[sage tendon]

yea that'll probably show what's better (or if it doesn't really matter)

both. it gets thrown before on_ready is fired. and sometimes when the bot is running randomly

Have you, by chance, got suggestions for permissions a user must have to be able to create/edit the message tags? Thinking of MANAGE_MESSAGES but I don't really know the world of permissions >.>

[sage tendon]

Yea sounds good

that, or if you really wanna restrict it, manage server

[nova epoch]

I feel like that's too strict. Might make it configurable in the future (maybe add compatibility for a guild to specify a role) but I think that's too much work to put into the first release. I'll put it on timeline for the v1.1 update :)

[sage tendon]

I don't know really, maybe someone else who knows the library a bit more in depth can tell you better but I don't think that error is in your control really

[sage tendon]

Ideally, you make the entire command restricted using @discord.default_permissions(manage_messages=True) and that way every server owner can override it

[nova epoch]

Yeah I'll just experiment and see what works

[sage tendon]

If you wanna make it configurable definitely use that decorator, don't try to make that yourself
way more work and everyone can still see the command

[lofty hedge]

thats kinda what ive been thinking as well, because no user has ever reported any sort of issue to me

[sage tendon]

yea judging by the error there seems to be an issue getting a guild's commands

you need to use your actual bot object

don't call it from the bot class

[errant trout]

check every guild_ids you have set on your commands

one of the servers you've specified has de-authorized or kicked the bot

[sage tendon]

what's the difference? like I've only ever heard of kicking, what's deauthorizing

[errant trout]

settings > integrations > remove app

[sage tendon]

but that also kicks the bot no?

[nova epoch]

Doesn't that just kick the bot?

[errant trout]

yes, but it's also possible to have a bot without the commands scope

in which case it isn't authorized

[sage tendon]

ic

[errant trout]

(discord put some effort into preventing this but eh some edge cases exist)

[lofty hedge]

im only specifying two guilds, using guild_ids both the bot have access too / i use the commands in both servers

[errant trout]

you're 100% sure there's no stray guild ids? because that error is only possible with an invalid one

[lofty hedge]

oh wait youre definitely right thats my apology. i forgot, that in the second server i only have the "Beta" bot not the main bot in it

[errant trout]

rip

[lofty hedge]

i wont be able to properly test until i restart the main bot, so probably within next day. But thank you.

its where i was using a slash command group

and specified two guilds, one of them the main bot doesnt have access too.

hi, what are the limit for embed title and description

[sage tendon]

2000 combined for the entire embed i believe, not sure if there are specific limits for the title etc

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/data_classes.html#discord.Embed there are limits apparently, see here

[echo wraith]

• Embed title is limited to 256 characters
• Embed description is limited to 4096 characters
• An embed can contain a maximum of 25 fields
• A field name/title is limited to 256 character and the value of the field is limited to 1024 characters
• Embed footer is limited to 2048 characters
• Embed author name is limited to 256 characters
• The total of characters allowed in an embed is 6000
  https://www.pythondiscord.com/pages/guides/python-guides/discord-embed-limits/

[sage tendon]

as always, reading the docs >>>>

6000? wtf

[echo wraith]

yeah it's pretty long actually

[sage tendon]

they changed that at some point then

i firmly remember it being 2000 for the entire embed at one point

I've managed to make a script that makes a new .sqlite file for every user/guild, it's the only way I can see this working properly. You got any suggestions to trim it down into 1/2 files (user/guilc tags)?

import discord, logging, os, aiosqlite, asyncio

async with aiosqlite.connect('tags.db') as db:
        table = f'tags_{ctx.guild.id}' if ctx.guild else f'tags_{ctx.author.id}'
        await db.execute(f'''
            CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS {table} (
                name TEXT UNIQUE NOT NULL,
                content TEXT NOT NULL
            )
        ''')
        try:
            await db.execute(f'INSERT INTO {table} (name, content) VALUES (?, ?)', (name, content))
            await db.commit()
            await ctx.respond(f'Tag "{name}" created successfully!')
        except aiosqlite.IntegrityError:
            await ctx.respond(f'Tag "{name}" already exists.')

[lapis dock]

Why not just have 2 tables with a column for guild_id or user_id respectively?
User_Tags cols: user_id name content
Guild_Tags cols: guild_id name content

[lapis dock]

if they run tag as a user command it would be a user id?

[fresh sierra]

yeah ik i already told them about just using one more collomn but they prefer to use 2 tables

[lapis dock]

I was recomending 2 tables. What it looks like they are doing now is a new table for every guild and every user id

table = f'tags_{ctx.guild.id}' if ctx.guild else f'tags_{ctx.author.id}'

[fresh sierra]

oooo i see now srry i didnt understand that

[swift egret]

hey there
So I have an existing /ban command that logs the ban into a log channel and I would also like to log bans that are issued directly with discord interface so I thought about using the the event "on_member_ban" but it seems there isn't a direct way to retrieve the reason nor the author who did the ban.
Maybe there's a better way to do this, any ideas?

[lofty hedge]

yup that was the reasoning. My console is clean now!

[lapis dock]

you would have to look at the audit log for that

[swift egret]

yeah that's what I thought, the best would be to use on_audit_log_entry event I think

[lapis dock]

yeah, probably

[swift egret]

tho I'm having an issue, the entry.target is always None

according to the docs the target is the user who got banned

[lapis dock]

strange

can you show that section of your code

[swift egret]

sure

getting this when printing entry
<AuditLogEntry id=XXX action=AuditLogAction.ban user=<Member id=XXX name='js7457' global_name='JS7457' bot=False nick='XXX' guild=<Guild id=XXX name='XXX' shard_id=0 chunked=True member_count=8753>>>

the member id is mine and there's no info on the target

[little cobalt]

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

can you try the raw one?

[swift egret]

sure

[lapis dock]

As the user is not cached It returns None. You will have to get the ID and convert it to a user manually

RawAuditLogEntryEvent.target_id

[swift egret]

@little cobalt @lapis dock I can indeed get the target id using the raw event

thank you

however I do not understand the cache thing

what is that about?

[rain dune]

discord.errors.NotFound: 404 Not Found (error code: 10062): Unknown interaction

whenever i am running any command, i am getting this error.
but if i like run the same command twice, the command runs perfectly ol

why is it happening i have deferred also

using

await ctx.response.defer()

[lapis dock]

If your bot stores all of the information about every user, guild, channel, etc it can see it would use up massive amounts of memory. So it only stores the information of the first X of all of those categories. When the bot receives a members information is "deletes" the most out of date information it has to make room.

[lapis dock]

is the defer at the top of the callback?

[rain dune]

    order_group = SlashCommandGroup(
        name="order", 
        description="Manage Everything related to order",
        guild_ids=[1241794451958136993,1236055846308286637],
        default_member_permissions=discord.Permissions(administrator=True)
    )
    @order_group.command(description="Create an order")
    async def create(
        self,
        ctx,
        name: Option(str, "Enter name of the order", required=True), # type: ignore
        user: Option(discord.Member, "Mention the user you want to send", required=True), # type: ignore
        time: Option(str, "Enter the Delivery time", required=True) # type: ignore
    ):
        await ctx.response.defer()
                ...

yeap

i have defer every command like this

on the top

[swift egret]

but then why would it delete the most recent info?
I'm banning an alt account to test this event and it shows up well in the audit logs in the server settings

there haven't been any other audits between the tests

[lapis dock]

When you restart the bot user cache is generally not filled. So your alt is not known by the bot. Discord does not give the information of a banned user on the ban event (which is why we use cache to get user info). You could try running one of your bots commands on your alt before banning and it would probably not be None

[swift egret]

ohhh okay now I understand, thank you 😄

but I suppose the best way is to go with the raw event for my case?

[lapis dock]

specifically what line in your callback is this error from?

[lapis dock]

yeah, for accurate logs you generally need to use the Raw event.

[rain dune]

nope, its working fine now

ok, that is very weird. Glad it works now

you're making a new db for every user lmao

read the error

yeah real helpful, it found the category so why is it nonetype

huh?

[little cobalt]

so

if its None the bot might cannot see the category

what are your bot intents?

[sage tendon]

it being none means it didn't "find" it

[weary meteor]

all of em, i have similar code n a different view whch works just fine so think the bot does have the ability to see the category

[weary meteor]

well yeah but it was able to print out the name of the category a bit earlier in the code

so im lost as to how its none

[sage tendon]

view the server as the bot role and see if it can see it first of all

[weary meteor]

okay

[sage tendon]

also, it might simply not be cached (for some reason), so try get_or_fetch instead

[weary meteor]

how would i access the bot object inside my view tho, should i pass it in as an arg

[rugged lodge]

Searched in pycord

discord.Guild.create_text_channel

[sage tendon]

discord.utils.get_or_fetch

[weary meteor]

ah okay

and yes the bot can see the category

[shell radish]

yeah just fetch it

[sage tendon]

and yes, that's how I do it

[weary meteor]

what do i put in for the attr arg

[shell radish]

"channel"

[weary meteor]

tickets_cat = discord.utils.get_or_fetch(interaction.guild, id=1234319572706791424, attr="channel")
something like this?

whoops i removed .categories

[shell radish]

no, you shouldn't have categories

[weary meteor]

oh

[shell radish]

all CategoryChannel objects are GuildChannel objects so it should be a channel

[sage tendon]

yea i was also a bit confused by that, but shouldn't that still work?

[shell radish]

both d.CategoryChannel.get_channel and d.CategoryChannel.fetch_channel don't exist

[weary meteor]

so leaving it like this is the right way, yeah?

[sage tendon]

ah

[shell radish]

and besides, categories returns an array

[shell radish]

should be

[weary meteor]

yeah still gave me the same error

[shell radish]

oh wait you didn't await the coro

[weary meteor]

i did

[shell radish]

but that should be a different error

ok

[weary meteor]

i saw the error and added it myself

[sage tendon]

this is probably jank but can't you just do ticket_cat = discord.Object(id= category ID)

[shell radish]

i think there's some permissions thing in the backend

[weary meteor]

nope still throws the same error

[errant trout]

print your overwrites variable ow

[sage tendon]

if you define ticket_cat as this? yea then its not that being the issue i think lol

[errant trout]

        seller_id = channel.topic
        seller = discord.utils.get(interaction.guild.members, id=seller_id)```this 100% returns None

and breaks the entire overwrites

ah hey

[sage tendon]

why's that?

[weary meteor]

ur right

LOL

[errant trout]

because channel.topic is a string

[weary meteor]

yep

[errant trout]

convert it to int and use interaction.guild.get_member

[sage tendon]

right

[weary meteor]

it freakin fixed it

thank you nelo

[errant trout]

allgood

[upper flint]

How to ping a server event?

[errant trout]

uhhh

elaborate?

[sage tendon]

Don't think that's possible if you mean an inline ping like #general

you can only send the share url and that'll show the event embed

[upper flint]

Alright, thanks

[wild prairie]

Is there a way to take custom emoji inputs in a Modal InputText without entering the full name with ID (copied from escaping the emoji)?

[little cobalt]

text (str) only

[wild prairie]

Well technically emojis are strings lol. That's annoying. For now we'll escape them

[little cobalt]

Idk if you can do it with copy and paste

[fresh sierra]

Why does pycord doesn’t have a setup_hook like discord.py ( if I understand what is it is something that run prior to the bot.run) that will be useful for the load_extension etc or does it already exist something similar

[shell radish]

there isn't any implicit need for it. It's not like discord.py where load_extensions is asynchronous

[fresh sierra]

Well ur right

Can still be useful but it’s not that important as in dpy since load extension are asynchous

(I forgot that in dpy it’s async)

What does this error mean

[errant trout]

fixed on master

[frail ocean]

Bot crash and doesn’t restart

[errant trout]

error?

[frail ocean]

This

[errant trout]

then you aren't on master

[sly karma]

pip install git+https://github.com/Pycord-Development/pycord

[frail ocean]

Since when I need master

[errant trout]

That bug is fixed on master

[frail ocean]

Yeah but why the bot crash with this error

[errant trout]

Well it tells you

It imported stuff wrong and there's some other minor issues on 2.5

[errant trout]

what were you expecting ```py
k_options = discord.SelectOption(label="Ticket", emoji="🎫")
...
k_options.append_option(k_options)

and down there below your CreateTicketSelect view k_options.append(discord.SelectOption(label=name, emoji=emoji))

it seems k_options should be a list or you want select.append_option

[rare marlin]

how can I do this differently?

[errant trout]

what are you trying to do

[rare marlin]

options.append to add

[errant trout]

...i'm struggling to see how k_options is meant to work ```py

            view = CreateTicketSelect(k_options)
            k_options.append(discord.SelectOption(label=name, emoji=emoji))
            view.add_item(k_options)

- Why is `CreateTicketSelect` taking `k_options` when it's meant to be a guild id?
- you use `k_options.append` as if it's meant to be a list, but then on that 3rd line you use `add_item` - which is it?

it feels to me that you don't know what's happening in your own code

[frail ocean]

Okay

But on other bots from me it wont happen

[errant trout]

Because it doesn't affect every bot

[sage tendon]

But what is the condition that makes it fail

thats what ive been wondering too

[frail ocean]

Idk

[errant trout]

just gotta read it https://github.com/Pycord-Development/pycord/blob/v2.5.x/discord/interactions.py#L198 ```py

    self._guild: Guild | None = None
    self._guild_data = data.get("guild")
    if self.guild is None and self._guild_data:
        self._guild = Guild(data=self._guild_data, state=self)```

[gray sun]

Can someone tell me how I can fix this error, I get it all the time and I don't know how to fix it

TypeError: expected Item not <class 'discord.ext.commands.bot.Bot'>```

[errant trout]

full traceback

[gray sun]

How so ?

[errant trout]

what is the full error in your console

[errant trout]

ok, so what are you doing in CloseTicketView

[gray sun]

I give it self.bot

[errant trout]

ok, but you're also using add_item on bot

which is wrong

[gray sun]

My brain is dead, could you tell me where do I use it?

[errant trout]

somewhere in CloseTicketView.__init__, probably

probably super? i bet you have something like ```py
class CloseTicketView(View):

def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
    super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)```

[gray sun]

I have that

No

that

[errant trout]

can you show your full init

[gray sun]

def __init__(self, bot):
    super().__init__(timeout=None)
    self.bot = bot```

[errant trout]

you're 100% sure this is CloseTicketView?

[sage tendon]

just make a screenshot of the class with your init in it

[errant trout]

eh

restart your bot? lol

[edgy nest]

press ctrl+s

[errant trout]

that too

[austere plank]

How can buttons / components be used in locked threads?

[gray sun]

?

[edgy nest]

you click them

[edgy nest]

make sure your file is saved

[gray sun]

I enable the auto save

[austere plank]

Like how? This symbol is there if i hover above the button 🚫

[errant trout]

if it's locked then you can't interact at all in the thread

[austere plank]

Aight ✅

Thought there is a way

So i can just reopen it by command or discord default by right clicking the thread

[errant trout]

indeed, unlocking it works

though considering that mods can talk in a locked thread, perhaps the UX for that should be improved

[austere plank]

yeah pretty weird i thought one of the ticket bots out there have it like that but looks like i thought wrong lol

Or maybe the message with the component have to be sent after the thread was closed idk have to try it. rn im doing it for the inital message

[errant trout]

nah it doesn't work for new messages either, despite the fact that the bot can send messages at all

[austere plank]

ok thx then i can spare that time

[errant trout]

kinda feels like an oversight if anything

[gray sun]

Why Have I that error now :

AttributeError: module 'discord' has no attribute 'ui'

[errant trout]

reinstall py-cord

[sage tendon]

inb4 discord.py

[wild prairie]

Is there a way to make a slash command group be clickable in a message? I can have standard slash commands be clickable via </name:id> but I'd like a way to be able to click a slash command group for it to show all the sub-commands

[errant trout]

no, but you can still mention each subcommand individually

[wild prairie]

Yeah, but there's a bunch lol
oh well, thanks anyway

[errant trout]

you can automate it easier by iterating through commands and using command.mention

even better if they have descriptions set already so you don't have to write them out again

or perhaps for groups, consider making use of components/paginator to display them

[wild prairie]

Yeah, but I want to keep certain ones out and it's easier for me to do this. I was thinking of switching that in the future

[errant trout]

fairfair

[wild prairie]

Can I use bridge commands for command groups?

[errant trout]

there's bridge_group

[wild prairie]

awesome. I just realized I'd need to add a crap ton of code to now account for the required parameters that aren't necessarily passed, so i'm sticking with slash commands haha

(i only found out bridge commands was a thing about 10 minutes ago)

[errant trout]

yeah not always ideal

[tidal vessel]

Guys, a question, is the timeout attribute of a .View object reset after each interaction?

[lofty parcel]

Yes

[tidal vessel]

ok, ty!

[frail ocean]

Is there a way to get the lib + version in a command?

[grizzled loom]

import os

packages = os.system("pip list")

something along those lines should do

[frail ocean]

This show the complete list?

[grizzled loom]

its like giving the line into a terminal

there might be a better way to do it. that's just the first thing that came to mind when reading your question

[errant trout]

discord.__version__ will show what version you installed through pip

If you mean for other libraries then it may vary, __version__ is a recommended implementation by PEP8 but it's not guaranteed to be present

In which case perhaps the pip command would be better

[frail ocean]

Which version is master?

[errant trout]

it'll show some longer string like 2.5.1

even though it doesn't exist

[south smelt]

i have a really dumb question
what does vc = ctx.voice_client do exactly
(it was from an older guide i think, and it says "define our voice client")
but i don't exactly understand how it works

[sage tendon]

its just to get quicker access to ctx.voice_client

by saving it to a short variable

[south smelt]

i mean like

the ctx part

[sage tendon]

what about it

[south smelt]

i'm trying to make it so that i don't have to run a command
and it would just automatically connect to a specific voice channel

[sage tendon]

on startup?

[south smelt]

and... i guess i'm just too dumb

yes

[sage tendon]

well, then you'd need a set voice channel for every server, or if you only have your bot in one server, hardcode it into your on_ready

[south smelt]

i only need it in one server
but i don't know how to specify the voice channel

is it just get_channel?

[sage tendon]

yes

[south smelt]

oh

thank you

[red mist]

You can do circular imports even though its generally not recommended, just import the variable exactly then when you need it, inside a function for example.

Because if you import it directly at the beginning, it's loaded for the entire cog and when you then try to import something from that cog back into your main.py then it says circular import, except for when you import only a specific part of your cog, a function or a variable when you need it.

[fresh sierra]

It was because the variable was only on the on_ready, and there was no reason tu be rhere

[red mist]

Honestly didn't read further because chat didn't load 🐔

[arctic oar]

Is it possible to run a asynchronous function within a regular function and have it run via asyncio?

@property
def balance(self) -> int:
    """ Returns the balance of the user
    """
    async def fetch_balance() -> int:
      ...

    # TODO: can i run fetch_balance async here?

[granite pier]

loop.run_until_complete(fetch_balance())

but it's better to already do async functions to get/set rather try to do it in property

[sage tendon]

what's stopping you from making the balance function async

[granite pier]

@property

[little cobalt]

.rie

[sly karma]

You can run blocking code (such as PIL/Pillow) in an executor to run it in a separate thread: ```py
def my_blocking_func(*args):
...

@bot.command()
async def test_command(ctx):
ret = await bot.loop.run_in_executor(my_blocking_func, 'put', 'args', 'here')``` See the python documentation for more info.

[little cobalt]

Else remove the property

hey there!
I have an existing join log, made a while back and recently the member mention doesn't show the name of the user anymore

example of someone leaving the server

when I click on the mention it says I do not have access

[sage tendon]

completely normal, that has always been the case

mentions in embeds do not resolve if the mentioned user isn't in the client cache

[swift egret]

I never really realized this
Is there a way to solve this like keeping it in cache or something else?

[sage tendon]

ping them in the message

or wait

i think they did recently do some changes where even that isnt possible anymore, but not sure

try it out

Make an alt, join with it, leave with it, restart your main discord, and see if the ping resolves if you put the ping in the message content

[swift egret]

thanks

[clear bolt]

import discord not working?

[sage tendon]

run pip list in a cmd and show the output

[clear bolt]

discord is there, but when running my bot i get the error ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'discord'

[sage tendon]

no, show the output

[sage tendon]

that is not pycord

that is discord.py if i'm not wrong

uninstall whatever that is and run pip install py-cord

[clear bolt]

well its actually just discord, not discord.py

oh wait

maybe that why

[errant trout]

discord is a shortcut package for discord.py

[sage tendon]

pip install discord will install discord.py

[clear bolt]

is py-cord still compatible with all of discord.py

[clear bolt]

alr now what

[sage tendon]

restart your IDE and try again

[clear bolt]

okay well see my issue tho is running the bot because i have ```py
import discord

in the python code

[sage tendon]

yea, thats correct

[clear bolt]

and its just not found

[sage tendon]

do you have a venv?

[clear bolt]

no

i dont think so

[sage tendon]

show the files and folders in your project (within vscode if possible)

[clear bolt]

oh is that why i cant find the discord library

[sage tendon]

like the structure

[clear bolt]

alr

[sage tendon]

65 problems

damn

[clear bolt]

see i've just been copying my old code from replit and its shitting itself

[clear bolt]

yeahhhh

[sage tendon]

but you dont have a .venv file/folder in your structure right? those are all?

[errant trout]

eh just work through it, probably nothing major

[clear bolt]

correct

[sage tendon]

most are probably just "module not found" aka discord

[clear bolt]

💀

[clear bolt]

yup thats most of it i think

[sage tendon]

open your terminal in your IDE (it should default to the venv) and run pip install py-cord again

[clear bolt]

oki

done

does replit just have all the libraries just there?

[sage tendon]

id imagine it has the most used ones there

[clear bolt]

ohh

[sage tendon]

i just wonder how they differentiate between e.g. pycord and discord

thats why i dont use repl.it, it kinda shit

[clear bolt]

i found that out trying to migrate after 3 years 😭

i think the last time i seriously touched this code was like 2 years ago

[sage tendon]

VPS, thats all you need
Few euros a month and no worries

[clear bolt]

or just run it off my pc

[sage tendon]

24/7? nah

[clear bolt]

its on 24/7 anyways

[sage tendon]

[clear bolt]

well i run my minecraft server usually 24/7 too

so

why not a bot too 💀

anyways how do i get these libraries

[sage tendon]

?

[clear bolt]

like the discord library

[sage tendon]

pip install
lol

[clear bolt]

ik 💀

but it refuses to work in the code

[sage tendon]

still not?

can you show the console output when you run your bot

[sage tendon]

do you run it from inside vsc or normal cmd

[clear bolt]

vsc

[sage tendon]

try a normal cmd

[clear bolt]

its been too long since i've ran anything, can i get a quick refresher on what to do

[sage tendon]

and make sure to install pycord there too to make sure

just python main.py lol

[clear bolt]

nop

this is why i quit 😭

[sage tendon]

?

[sage tendon]

did you?

[clear bolt]

i quit python a few years ago

[errant trout]

can you do python -m pip list

[clear bolt]

@errant trout

[errant trout]

nope, different command

[clear bolt]

same output tho

[errant trout]

including py-cord?

[clear bolt]

yup

[errant trout]

and python main.py doesn't work...? wth did you do

[clear bolt]

i have no clue

import discord 
``` just doesnt work

[errant trout]

what if you type python, then in the console that shows up type import discord

[clear bolt]

doesnt exist 😭

[errant trout]

then how about python -m pip install -U py-cord

[clear bolt]

requirement already satisfied

💀

[sage tendon]

man

what

[clear bolt]

yeah

[errant trout]

can you show a screenshot of the console output from all those commands

[clear bolt]

😭

which ones specificlly

[errant trout]

all :)

however much is feesible, i suppose

[clear bolt]

very slow upload speed

[sage tendon]

also go to your python path here and check the lib > site packages folder

[errant trout]

did you never actually run python main.py...?

(also you'll need to uninstall discord and discord.py, but that's for later)

[sage tendon]

all things i already said -w-

[errant trout]

wow no way

[sage tendon]

also, you still did it wrong

you have to type python > ENTER > then try import discord

[clear bolt]

just stops recognizing import as a thing after typing python

[sage tendon]

show.

[sage tendon]

type
import discord

bruh

[clear bolt]

i did

no work

[sage tendon]

screenshot

this is all you need to do

[clear bolt]

no feedback

[sage tendon]

yea okay

now do exit()

and from that very same cmd, navigate to your bot directory and run python main.py

[clear bolt]

i forgor how 😭

[sage tendon]

cd

[clear bolt]

oh ty

nope

ARGGG

[sage tendon]

screenshot

[clear bolt]

[sage tendon]

[clear bolt]

[sage tendon]

stop using that, people only ever have issues with that crap

[clear bolt]

thats what fixed my issue tho

[sage tendon]

oh, what?

yea then your python install is just cooked

[clear bolt]

fug

[sage tendon]

can you run python -m pip list again

and you ONLY have this version of python installed now right

[clear bolt]

[frail ocean]

        await interaction.response.edit_message(view=self)```

[sage tendon]

read the error

you are trying to use .append on your own class

that makes no sense

Besides, i dont think what you're doing would work anyway but not sure

[rare marlin]

i have fix

[vital bramble]

How would I pass labels and values to the autocomplete, instead of just values (or labels?)? Is the only way using OptionChoices or can I also just use dicts?

[sage tendon]

you cant, thats not how autocomplete works
yes, you need optionchoices

[shadow bear]

Can sub-application-commands have their own default_permissions?

[sage tendon]

pretty sure no

[sage tendon]

or wait actually

i think i did do that once, one second

[edgy nest]

you can

you just have to use optionchoices

[sage tendon]

yea i just looked it back up, i confused it with smth else

yea

my bad

[shadow bear]

aw man that sucks, thanks

I'll just have to make a subgroup with the perms

wait is that a thing?

or are perms down to the root

[edgy nest]

root only

[shadow bear]

omg

this platform infuriates me sometimes

[edgy nest]

you can always add your own checks

[shadow bear]

I'll just enforce them traditionally

yea

[sage tendon]

whats the command and the subcommands in question

like why do you need just one / more subcommands restricted

[shadow bear]

self-roles, I want /sr give to be world accessible, but /sr create, /sr edit, and /sr delete to be manage-roles only

[vital bramble]

Ok, so plain dicts (like {"label": "mylabel", "value": 123}) are not (currently) supported?

[edgy nest]

i believe so

[sage tendon]

no, as per the docs

[edgy nest]

it's probably fairly easy to convert that though

[sage tendon]

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

[vital bramble]

yeah it is

[sage tendon]

only takes a list of str or optionchoices

[edgy nest]

if you want to pr it I would approve

[sage tendon]

hm
could make it so you have another command like /settings where everything is grouped under

like all the admin cmds

[shadow bear]

I do have that, but /settings is more a meta-thing (e.g. configuring prefix, log channels, etc). grouping it under /sr clearly indicates that its specifically for the self-roles system

its fine though, i'm just requiring manage_roles, nobody will care

[sage tendon]

/settings sr add

[shadow bear]

I doubt anyone changes slash command permissions from their defaults anyway

[shadow bear]

eh could do

[sage tendon]

Most don't, some do

[shadow bear]

I'll play about with some testing

[shadow bear]

the minority that do probably wouldn't mind two or three commands having hard-coded permissions anyway

manage_roles is generally a sensible requirement for... managing roles, lol

[sage tendon]

yea

[shadow bear]

Oh that's just reminded me

can options be dynamic?

or will I have to use autocomplete and validate

[sage tendon]

Options are static

[shadow bear]

I want per-guild options

ah yikes alright

thought so

thanks :)

[red mist]

I think it depends on what your options contain- autocomplete for channel selection for example can be different on every guild, no?

[limber terrace]

so i tested stuff for my new help command and comes to the point where the bot throws me the following error:
help.py konnte nicht geladen werden. [Extension 'commands.help' raised an error: ClientException: Too many arguments passed to the options kwarg.]

my next question, only two Options for one command allowed? :O

    @slash_command(name="help", description="When you know, you know (WIP)",
        options=[
                Option(
                    input_type=str, 
                    name="options", 
                    description="What type of commands you want to see", 
                    choices=[
                        OptionChoice(name="User Commands", value="user"),
                        OptionChoice(name="Slash Commands", value="slash"),
                        OptionChoice(name="Message Commands", value="message"),
                        OptionChoice(name="Slash Command Groups", value="group")
                    ], 
                    required=False
                    ),
                Option(
                    imput_type=str,
                    name="group", 
                    description="Specific group you want to see",
                    required=False
                    ),  
                Option(
                    input_type=str, 
                    name="command", 
                    description="Specific command you want to see", 
                    required=False
                    )
                ]
        )```
or....

wait....

alright nvm, got it

missed one varible in the definition head

[silk oriole]

does pycord support that feature some bots have where like, it responds with a different name and pfp than the bot actually has?

idk how to actually describe it

[red mist]

webhooks?

[errant trout]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/webhooks.html#discord.Webhook.send

have to setup a webhook beforehand or create one through the bot, then retrieve through channel.webhooks

[silk oriole]

thank you :3

[limber terrace]

Cosmetic question:

embed.description=f"Description: `{command.description}`\n" \
                 f"Usage:       `{command.name} {', '.join([f'<{i.name}>' for i in command.options])}`\n" \
                 f"Type:        `{type(command).__name__}`"

how to accomplish this ^^^^

the picture is the output and i dont wanna have to use cheat chars xD

random ideas appreciated

[edgy nest]

codeblock the entire thing

tab characters

two seperate fields

[sage tendon]

i dont get your question lmao

doesnt that code, do that?

[limber terrace]

Thanks
