Basic Pycord Help

[fresh sierra]

mine are boring only fix and test

[shadow bear]

Because I definitely wasn't working on prod

its a bot for like 10 people, its not that important

[sage tendon]

bruh

[shadow bear]

Push to remote -> remote builds docker image -> docker image is pulled locally -> restart -> test

couldn't be arsed grabbing a token for local dev

[sage tendon]

wtf

[shadow bear]

idk where my phone is so I can't get my 2fa code

[sage tendon]

that is omega cursed

[shadow bear]

I've done worse

if it ain't broke don't fix it

[quartz umbra]

Am I allowed to have async functions in a class?

and then just await those functions?

[lofty parcel]

Yes?

[quartz umbra]

and i can just await those and it'll just work like not having them in a class?

[lofty parcel]

What are you trying to do?

[quartz umbra]

i wanted to just tidy up some code

into a class

I'll paste the file

[lofty parcel]

Class methods can be async, yes.

[quartz umbra]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/N2BA

[fresh sierra]

but you will need ot use aenter and aexit if you want a class to be async

and init are not allowed for async class

[quartz umbra]

no init is allowed?

[fresh sierra]

in my memory you cant use init for an async class

[lofty parcel]

Async inits are possible just not like that

?tags init

[limber wagon]

There are no tags that match your search.

[lofty parcel]

.tag asyncinit

[sly karma]

Add this to you class to allow async init-

    async def __new__(cls, *args, **kwargs):
        obj = super().__new__(cls)
        await obj.__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        return obj

[quartz umbra]

I just changed it from __init__ to init() and then just called that directly after a reference is made

is that alright?

[sage tendon]

neat

[quartz umbra]

async def init(self, db_path: str = "database.db") -> aiosqlite.Connection:

[sage tendon]

i still wonder why its not supported natively tho
oversight imo

[quartz umbra]

I'm getting this error, no idea why: ```bash
data_handler = await data_handler.init()
^^^^^^^^^^^^
UnboundLocalError: cannot access local variable 'data_handler' where it is not associated with a value

[lofty parcel]

You add this

And you leave your async init as it was before

[quartz umbra]

nope, doesn't work

i added it

[lofty parcel]

Show your new code

[quartz umbra]

class DataHandler:
    async def __new__(cls, *args, **kwargs):
        obj = super().__new__(cls)
        await obj.__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        return obj

    async def init(self, db_path: str = "database.db") -> aiosqlite.Connection:
  ...

[sage tendon]

bruh

[lofty parcel]

It is __init__

Not init

[quartz umbra]

oh bruh

you said keep the async init the same

[lofty parcel]

"as it was before"

[quartz umbra]

sorry its working now (so far)

[rough heron]

await ctx.followup.send(
                "You can't do that!", ephemeral=True)

What is the best way to send a followup thats ephemeral? This obviously doesn't work.

[lofty parcel]

ctx.respond should handle followups and responses for you.

You shouldn't need anything else.

[rough heron]

I'll look into it, ty.

[wary saffron]

How can I make a command that can only be run by a user who ran a different command?

In this example, I need the user that ran /host_lie_to_me to be the only one who can run /cancel_lie_to_me

also the command descriptions don't show up idk why

[tidal vessel]

the descriptions are put in the decorator

[wary saffron]

what do you mean? It shows up like this for me

[tidal vessel]

@game.command(description="...")

[wary saffron]

Oh

[tidal vessel]

hmmm you can use the checks parameter of your command group and check if a command was executed before

I don't know if there is another way but I can think of that solution.

[lapis dock]

only interaction responses can be ephemeral, not followups

[rough heron]

yep, I got my answer of switiching to respond and how it follows what value I put in ctx.defer

[errant trout]

wrong!

for i in range(5): await ctx.respond(str(i), ephemeral=bool(i%2))```

[lapis dock]

oop, sorry. Is it because followups still use the interaction token?

and did that change at some point or am I completely mis-remembering?

[errant trout]

yep, and always been possible !

so you have 15 minutes to do as many ephemeral responses as you want

[little cobalt]

Can I see your pip list and Python version?

I also see some problems with aiohttp

[sinful juniper]

3.11

[wary saffron]

I'm lost idk how to check if a command was executed before

Oh wait

Maybe I can update a variable

[wary saffron]

Okay, I updated it but I'm not sure how to assign the user who ran the command into the variable the_host

[vital bramble]

discord.Thread.add_user():

You must have ~Permissions.send_messages_in_threads to add a user to a public thread. If the thread is private and
invitable is False, then
~Permissions.manage_threads is required.

What permissions do I need, if the thread is private but invitable is True?

Oh I guess no permissions are needed in that case? Because everyone in the thread can invite other users, including the bot... Got it xD

[sage tendon]

save that user in a cog variable

[fresh sierra]

Is that normal that await bot.sync_commands([command], method="individual") doesnt raise any error while loading an invalide command while await bot.sync_commands() does ?

[karmic river]

  File "C:\Users\rahul\Downloads\Prix Bot\main.py", line 2, in <module>
    from discord.ext import commands
ImportError: cannot import name 'commands' from 'discord.ext' (unknown location)```
I have uninstalled discord.py and installed pycord 2.5.0 correctly but why is it not working???

[fresh sierra]

can you show ur pip list ?

[karmic river]

sure wait

Here all pips

idk why i have installed useless pips 🤡

[sage tendon]

packages*

pip is the package installer

[fresh sierra]

discord-py-slash-command 3.0.3
discord-ui

[sage tendon]

good job installing the wrong pycord and the right pycord at the same time lol

[fresh sierra]

discord-py-slash-command 3.0.3
discord-ui 5.1.6

[karmic river]

yes yes ik

[fresh sierra]

try to remove this one

[karmic river]

okk

[sage tendon]

and also uninstall both pycords, and reinstall the right one after

just to make sure everything is cleanly installed

[karmic river]

which is the right one?

py-cord

??

[sage tendon]

yes

[karmic river]

the bot started but not responding to my commands and not showing any errors on terminal

[karmic river]

intents = discord.Intents.all()```
Are these intents enough to run the bot?

[sage tendon]

I don't think you understand python

[karmic river]

I am beginner

[sage tendon]

I know

[sage tendon]

show your code and how it looks in discord

[karmic river]

thats why getting errors

[sage tendon]

if you use all intents you also need to enable all in the developer dashboard

[karmic river]

I have enabled all

[timid shuttle]

Heads up @karmic river! We've detected one or more tokens in your attachments!

• Found token of 1239810411541430302 (Prix) in attachment main.py. You can regenerate it here.

Fyi: Each token might trigger a system message by discord, if it's valid.
Please avoid uploading tokens in future, even if they aren't valid anymore.

Stay Safe!

[sage tendon]

bruh

[karmic river]

💀

wait

[sage tendon]

regenerate your token now

[karmic river]

ok

I think i should use .env

[sage tendon]

config.py is well enough

and obviously not synced to github

[fresh sierra]

what is the point to have 2 times the same variables with different value

[lofty parcel]

I was about to say that

[sage tendon]

wait did you put your bot on GitHub with the token lmao

[karmic river]

oh ok

[karmic river]

nah

[karmic river]

idk

[fresh sierra]

so why are u doing that ?

[sage tendon]

exactly

[fresh sierra]

are you coding without thinking ?

[sage tendon]

they're new to programming they already said that

chill out

[karmic river]

making the bot for my own server

[fresh sierra]

no but like

[karmic river]

yes

[fresh sierra]

when you do something to improve

try to think

[sage tendon]

luma

[fresh sierra]

why am i doing that

or why etc etc

[sage tendon]

there's no need for this

[fresh sierra]

this will help you to improve this it will make u understand how does that work

[sage tendon]

you're basically telling them "I think you're stupid"
that doesn't really help

[lofty parcel]

I mean, Luma is right lmao, you won't learn if you code without thinking what you're typing

[karmic river]

i am trying from 3 days 🤡

[fresh sierra]

in which way im saying that he is stuping ?

[sage tendon]

because you are basically saying they don't think when coding

[fresh sierra]

im saying that he should understand what he is doing to improve

[sage tendon]

If they don't know how the code they copied from somewhere works, or the programming language at all, it doesn't matter how much they think about it
they need to learn about it with tutorials or whatever

Lack of knowledge isn't to be confused with lack of thinking

[fresh sierra]

man like ur trying to do idk why but there is not need for that

im saying he should try to understand his code

that's all

[sage tendon]

there's also no need for this

this isn't helpful in any way

it's just rude

[fresh sierra]

for telling to someone you should try to understand what ur are doing ?????,

[little cobalt]

~~ @sage tendon you are a helper~~

[fresh sierra]

okay so lucifer continue to not understand anything about ur code

[sage tendon]

I know, but I don't need some stupid role to tell people what they're doing isn't nice

[little cobalt]

I mean you could mute some like Luma

[sage tendon]

no

I cannot

[fresh sierra]

i am sorry but i dont understand why telling to someone he should understand his code to improve his rude

like explain me

[sage tendon]

because you're saying it in a very specific way that has a rude undertone

[red mist]

Could you two perhaps

just

[sage tendon]

fine by me

[red mist]

not discuss this here >.<

[little cobalt]

that took kinda long to write ;3

[red mist]

I was going to say shut up but I realized in the topic of rudeness I am not much better if I say that

[fresh sierra]

@karmic river im sorry if you were thinking it was rude that was not my intention, what im trying to tell you is when you are putting a line try to understand the purpose of that, you can for exemple use comment like so :

intents = discord.Intents.default() # put intent by default
intents = discord.Intents.all() # activate all intents

Then it will help you to understand for exemple that there is no need to put intents by default since just after you are putting all

[red mist]

^^ also Luma is french, english is not his first language so saying something thats meant good and accidentally ends up "rude" if you look at it that way is just an accident.

[sage tendon]

it's also my second language

[fresh sierra]

my english still need some improvements

[karmic river]

ik but i forgot to remove the default intents thats why it was there

[red mist]

I'll continue this discussion in#general tho, stick to help here.

[fresh sierra]

what ur issue then ?

(without sending the token)

[karmic river]

The issue is that my bot is running but not responding to my commands

[fresh sierra]

are you using slash or prefix command ?

[sage tendon]

well, I / we still need your code and what you see in discord lol

[karmic river]

prefix

[fresh sierra]

are you using an on_message event ?

[karmic river]

no i am using bot_command()

[sage tendon]

can you just show your code lol

[karmic river]

uh wait

[fresh sierra]

?tag paste

[limber wagon]

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

[sage tendon]

if you send the token again you win a prize

[fresh sierra]

.

[karmic river]

not sending this time lol

[sage tendon]

can you please send it as a normal text message lol
I can't open that on mobile

[fresh sierra]

its too big

does the help is working or not ?

[karmic river]

its working fine

[sage tendon]

it'll automatically send as message.txt :)

[karmic river]

but this time it is not responding

to any command

[fresh sierra]

so also the help

[karmic river]

yes

[fresh sierra]

are you using the good prefix ?

[little cobalt]

lol

[karmic river]

yes

[sage tendon]

with which scopes did you invite your bot?

[karmic river]

my friend told me to make this type of bot so I started

[sage tendon]

yea well that dodged my question lolw

when you made the invite link for your bot did you actually check the bot checkmark
I think that's actually the only necessary one but not sure rn

[fresh sierra]

does the on_ready is triggered ?

[karmic river]

wdym?

[karmic river]

yes

[sage tendon]

I mean what I mean lol

you made an invite for the bot at some point

did you check the bot scope y/n

[karmic river]

yes

[sage tendon]

does it have permissions?

[karmic river]

yes

administrator cuz just testing the bot rn

[fresh sierra]

can you add an on_message to check if the bot can see the message typed by the user ?

dont forget to add the process

[sage tendon]

okay i could check your code now and holy HELL why do you have a billion imports

[fresh sierra]

.rftm process_message

[karmic river]

yea sure

[fresh sierra]

.rtfm process_message

[sly karma]

Target not found, try again and make sure to check your spelling.

[fresh sierra]

.rtfm process_command

[sly karma]

4 results

discord.ext.commands.Bot.process_commands
discord.ext.commands.AutoShardedBot.process_commands
discord.ext.bridge.Bot.process_commands
discord.ext.bridge.AutoShardedBot.process_commands

[lofty parcel]

It is certainly a github bot

[sage tendon]

remove all this

you dont have to use that

pycord handles that via the decorator

[fresh sierra]

and you should also consider cog

[sage tendon]

you are never calling the function

so the prefix is likely just gibberish / none

[karmic river]

ok I'll remove it

[sage tendon]

you dont need like 90% of that code in general lmao
all the imports, all the add_commands..

[karmic river]

🤡 that was a waste of time?

[sage tendon]

also the way that help command is done is so unbelievably messy lmao

you copied it from some template repo right?

[sage tendon]

well, yes

and it might actually be the reason your commands dont work

[karmic river]

lol the bot is working with the on_message command

[karmic river]

ok i can remove them

[vital bramble]

How can I set the overwrites for @everyone, when using discord.Guild.create_voice_channel? What do I use as key in the dict?

[sage tendon]

the everyone role is a normal role with an ID, so i think you can just get that (somehow) and then put it there like any other role

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/models.html#discord.Guild.default_role here

[vital bramble]

ooh nice xD

thx

I guess it's also just the guild id, right?

[sage tendon]

?

wait wtf yes it is

i never noticed that

[vital bramble]

I think the id of everyone role is just the guild id

but is that reliable?

[sage tendon]

just use this, then you get the role object directly

[vital bramble]

yeah. I was just thinking what if I just have the guild id, but if I can use the create channel method I already have the guild object xD

[sage tendon]

i think its because you fixed the prefix
try without whatever you did with on_message too

[sage tendon]

not necessarily :)))
but yes

[karmic river]

it started working yayyyy

Thank you so much

for helping

[sage tendon]

np

[fresh sierra]

is there a big difference between on_connect and on_ready for the shard ? or should i use only one or the other, its for simple logging

[vital bramble]

I think on_connect is not a discord event but a pycord internal event. Meaning that on_connect is probably called before the bot is ready. I'd use on_ready

[quasi dune]

Hey all, is there a way to know when a Member has completed their onboarding? I want to trigger a message once they've properly entered the server.

[vital bramble]

Does pycord update the position of all channels in cache, if I create, delete, move a channel?

[sage tendon]

it should, yes

[sage tendon]

which kind of onboarding

like the actual actual onboarding with role select? I think that isn't possible

[quasi dune]

Bummer. That's kinda what I figured.

[sage tendon]

there is Member.pending but to this day i could not get a clear answer on what that means
I THINK it only checks if people agreed to the rules (if you set that up)

[sage tendon]

i never tested it with an alt yet so maybe try that (and tell me if you do)

[quasi dune]

I'll keep you posted!~

[vital bramble]

Well, you could listen to the role add event and if it's any of the roles from the onboarding use that as onboarding finished...

[sage tendon]

ok so

i have a command that also checks member.pending
and some people there have onboarding roles

so its not determined solely by the role selection

let me check smth

discord also says they agreed to the rules

so god knows why they're pending

maybe it also includes the verification level but not sure

[quasi dune]

This could work, but I would think it would also get triggered if they add roles post-onboarding too.

[vital bramble]

or maybe they have not completed all the additional onboarding steps like say hello in..., go to this channel etc

[sage tendon]

well i just put my verif level to email-only and they are still all there so god knows what member.pending actually means

but from experience, a member that is pending is unable to chat, and a member that ISNT pending is always able to chat

[quasi dune]

Currently it sends a message after 60 seconds based on the roles the member has at that time.

[vital bramble]

It would, but you could also consider the time they joined...

[quasi dune]

I was just hoping for something a little more precise

^.^

[sage tendon]

this is as exact as my testing gets, take from that what you will

[quasi dune]

I appreciate you poking around for me!

[sage tendon]

yea no i already knew that before lol
but thats literally all i know about it still

i wish it was clearly documented

[quasi dune]

Sameeee

[sage tendon]

you actually gave me an idea

currently, I'm waiting 20s after join to send my welcome message (for bot kick reasons)
but i could actually wait for a member update that changes pending

[fresh sierra]

doesnt the on_member_join is trigger after the on_boarding ?

[quasi dune]

No, that appears to trigger once they enter the guild - like pre-onboarding

[sage tendon]

i did this now, thx for the idea

[quasi dune]

Yay, I helped ^.^ lol

[sage tendon]

okay... apparently pending doesnt rely on onboarding at all
just tested my new thingy and the pending flag changed before they selected any roles

(unless i messed smth else up)
Ill tell you when i know

[errant trout]

pending is for the rules section, not roles/channel selection

[sage tendon]

but doesnt that come after the roles and channels?

i'm 99.99% sure that is the order
roles > rules

and i have mandatory roles, so, it cant be that someone has no roles but isnt pending

[fresh sierra]

can't you track role that are from the boarding pass and then when the user got those role you trigger ur thing

[sage tendon]

yea i'm doing that
by len(member.roles) though, i have like 70 onboarding roles

[vital bramble]

Can I use the discord.ui.button decorator to add a button with dynamic properties (label, custom id, etc.) to a view?

I don't want to define a whole class for it, so I thought maybe I can just use the decorator in the view init. Does that work?

[errant trout]

well, you can, but where are you gonna define the callback

(Button, not button)

[vital bramble]

No. I mean button xD

[errant trout]

no

[vital bramble]

That's the decorator

[vital bramble]

in the view

[errant trout]

oh wait

just do self.button_callback_name.attribute = ... in your init

like self.button.custom_id or whatever

[vital bramble]

that does work?

[errant trout]

yeah

because init runs last

[vital bramble]

yeah but I want to use the same callback for two different buttons...

[errant trout]

...

[vital bramble]

without writing it twice ofc xD

[errant trout]

then make the buttons manually instead of using the decorator

[vital bramble]

By subclassing you mean?

[errant trout]

no

button = Button(...)
button.callback = self.callback

or alternatively you can define on_interaction in your view as a callback for all items

that's probably the wrong name

it's interaction_check

[vital bramble]

oh that's nice. Totally forgot about that

[vital bramble]

How would I register a persistent View only for a certain message? I have a view that I want to be persistent but it holds message specific data so I can't use it for every interaction but only for one message each. Would it be enough to use Bot.add_view with the message_id parameter set? I don't really understand what they mean with "The message ID that the view is attached to. This is currently used to refresh the view's state during message update events. If not given then message update events are not propagated for the view."

[sage tendon]

db i suppose

[vital bramble]

I want to avoid that. But I think Bot.add_view works the way I need it to.

[sage tendon]

well, what data are we talking about

[vital bramble]

Bot.add_view(ViewInstance1, message_id=111)
Bot.add_view(ViewInstance2, message_id=222) # this would not overwrite ViewInstance1 and will only be called, when from message 222

[vital bramble]

just some semi-temporary data. Meaning it's not that bad if it's gone after a bot restart.

Basically who clicked what button

[cedar snow]

I'm just now learning the cogs system, but cant find anything about SlashCommandGroups within cogs, should the be their own cog, own extention?

[rugged lodge]

Here's the slash cog groups example.

[cedar snow]

thank you my friend

[wary saffron]

I don't understand sorry

How does the cog know what I wrote in the LiarGame class?

[tidal vessel]

what do you mean?

[wary saffron]

I don't know how to explain it

For example... how do I get it to recognize the class? Does that make sense?

[tidal vessel]

mmm you want to know how a class is recognized as a Cog?

🤔

[wary saffron]

I don't know

[tidal vessel]

[wary saffron]

Also the description you told me to put into the bot command gives me a syntax error

[lofty parcel]

This is why you need to learn python. No offense.

[hoary cradle]

is there a way to do something like this?

await ctx.defer()

if something is True:
  await ctx.respond('true', ephemeral = True)

await ctx.respond('bla...')

[sage tendon]

no

The defer dictates whether the response can be ephemeral or not

[hoary cradle]

can i do something in reverse? or use ctx.send for the last message

[sage tendon]

if the condition check for whether it should be ephemeral or not doesn't take too long, do it before the defer

[hoary cradle]

how much time do i have to defer?

seems like im like 2 or 3 seconds away from being able to fit it in

[sage tendon]

3 seconds

[hoary cradle]

oof, can't fit it in then, is it better to just delete the message and ctx.send after?

[sage tendon]

whatever works for you

multiple ways to solve this

[sinful juniper]

Does anyone happen to know what the problem could be?

[high pilot]

sometimes when i edit the embed on button click. the embed message disappears

[little cobalt]

How did you edit it?

[high pilot]

await interaction.message.edit(embed=embed, view=self,attachments=[])

embed.set_image(url="attachment://plot.png")

[fresh sierra]

and where is embed definied ?

because you are here replacing the emebd with embed=embed

[high pilot]

embed = interaction.message.embeds[0]

[fresh sierra]

ur message only have 1 embed ?

[high pilot]

yes

its like sometimes when people click placed bet the image vanishes

all the other things work

and thats just some random times

[fresh sierra]

if that can help you, im doing like that :

    file = discord.File("Resources/Images/xpIMAGE.png", filename="card.png")
    embed.set_image(url="attachment://card.png")
    await interaction.message.edit(embed=embed, view=self, file=file)

[high pilot]

the file is a bytesio file generated when the bot first posts the embed so i am not saving the file

[fresh sierra]

even when im not saving it im using discord.File, you should give it a try i guess

i dont have any other solution

[high pilot]

 chart = discord.File(data_stream,filename="plot.png")
            return chart

i use it already

[fresh sierra]

so shouldn’t you also add file=chart ?

[high pilot]

seperate function

u mean this , file=file?

i cant really get this file as it is not saved in

how do i even ddefine file = discord.File("Resources/Images/xpIMAGE.png", filename="card.png")

this

Resources/Images/xpIMAGE.png file is not saved like this

if i were to save files i might need 1tb of space lol

[fresh sierra]

this one was save, but i also do that without saving it

i dont remeber where in my bot but let me take a look

here i did :

            captcha_code = ''.join(random.choices(string.ascii_letters + string.digits, k=6))
            image = ImageCaptcha(width=280, height=90)
            data = image.generate(captcha_code)
            file = discord.File(data, "captcha.png")
            embed = discord.Embed(title=welcome.captcha.title, description=welcome.captcha.description)
            embed.set_image(url='attachment://captcha.png')
            await new_channel.send(content=member.mention,embed=embed, file=file)

[red mist]

Is this a random error? Does it happen everytime you start your bot or does it just happen after a few minutes / hours

Because your connection gets closed for some reason.

I do know that discord tends to pause and resume sessions in the background which is normal (except for when you're spamming the discord API) but you could probably get a lot more info by implementing an event log by using the logging module.

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/logging.html here's some information to get you started

[sinful juniper]

after a few hours after I start

[red mist]

Yeah- try the logging module :>

It could be that some task or some of your code which is constantly checking something or updating nonstop crashes on a client pause- and cannot live with a few second pause.

Or you're spamming the API somewhere and discord rate limits you :P

Again- logging module is the way to go- it'll also show you if you're making too many requests.

Or posts- whatever

[vital bramble]

What is the __cancel_callback method in discord.Modal for? It doesn't seem to have any purpose...

shouldn't it be called in the discord.Modal.stop method?

[fresh sierra]

its an internal methode so i dont think we should use it

[vital bramble]

It's never used anywhere... That's what I find strange.

[fresh sierra]

because its an internal methode, user have no point to use it

its used in the _start_listening_from_store function

[vital bramble]

I know that it's not supposed to be used by the user. But it does not even get used internally. So it's basically useless. And I'm wondering why it's there.

[fresh sierra]

its used internally

[vital bramble]

It's only defined there, not used.

[fresh sierra]

in the _start_listening_from_store

[vital bramble]

with used I mean called

[vital bramble]

That's from discord.ui.View not discord.ui.Modal

[fresh sierra]

when a view is stop its used to remove everything iguess

[vital bramble]

I'm talking about discord.ui.Modal!

[fresh sierra]

yeah mb

i guess they just copy the cancel callback from the view to the modal

[vital bramble]

I guess too... But it could actually serve a purpose if it were implemented...

[fresh sierra]

and since we cant stop a modal, it's useless

[sage tendon]

i think thats intended to be the callback for when the user cancels a modal

[fresh sierra]

nope cancel is useless

i checked on dpy, the cancel is used only for the view too

[vital bramble]

well, it depends. We can, but all it currently does it calling the on_timeout method. It could be used to remove the modal from the store or something similar.

[vital bramble]

I think the modal in general is missing some functionality... But I'm too lazy for a PR xD

[fresh sierra]

how can you remove a modal ?

you can remove a view but a modal i dont know how

[vital bramble]

It can be removed from the internal modal store. But it can only be removed per user not per modal.

that's probably why they didn't implement it because when the timeout happens it's (currently) not possible to know which user the modal is for.

[sinful juniper]

just paste that into the code? I think it's down to a few tasks.

[fresh sierra]

this doesnt do any api requets

its just logging

[sinful juniper]

in my console?

[fresh sierra]

are you hosting ur bot on a computer or an host

[fresh sierra]

mb i didnt read correctly, paste the first one that will show u discord log

[red mist]

It does show if your client stops and continues a session

Or couldn't connect- / tries to connect but fails

[sinful juniper]

okay

[fresh sierra]

yeah i didnt read correctly

[fresh sierra]

.

i think the issue is simply ur wifi/ host has some issue and disconnect nothing dangerous, logging can help

[fresh sierra]

is that possible to disable the logging info from pycord while using it for urself ?

i want to use logger.info() in my code but i dont want to get every message from pycord about the info, i really dont think that possible but we never know

(i dont want to remove completly the logging from pycord because of the warning etc)

[sleek mauve]

Can I get the message ID if I clicked the button?

[little cobalt]

with the interaction

[sleek mauve]

I tried that but when I clicked it shows me a random number

[little cobalt]

original_response()

[sleek mauve]

Thanks! I got it

[high pilot]

honestly i have no way to recreate the image like u do. The point is the image is recreated through data from an api. If i were to re request the data everytime someone clicked the button, it would be a bummer

[fresh sierra]

Can you open a post explaining everything from the beginning ?

It will be more easy because I’m lost rn so it’s a little bit hard to help u

[vital bramble]

I can't defer an interaction and then send a modal, can I?

[shell radish]

no

[vital bramble]

[shell radish]

L /s

[vital bramble]

L?

I know /s but L is new to me xD

[edgy nest]

loser

[vital bramble]

Thx. I just received the notification for this message and was a bit irritated why you would call me loser xD

[edgy nest]

merp!

[wild prairie]

Using a slash command group inside a cog seems to break the parameter list and considers ctx as a Discord slash command parameter.

grotto_translate = bot.create_group("grotto_translate", "Grotto Translation Commands")

class Grottos(commands.Cog):
    @grotto_translate.command(name="english", description="Translate a Grotto")
    async def grotto_translate_english(self, ctx, ...):

How can I fix this?

[shell radish]

that's not how you make a scg in a cog

[rugged lodge]

Here's the slash cog groups example.

[wild prairie]

Well, obviously because it doesn't work lol, but how do I? That's what the docs say

[wild prairie]

Thanks

[shell radish]

where

because if it says that then it's wrong

[wild prairie]

Doesn't mention anything about cogs

[shell radish]

yeah because it doesn't work in cogs

[wild prairie]

Well then it should mention that

[shell radish]

k

[wild prairie]

If you don't have the power to change that, don't be snarky, instead point me to where I can make a suggestion

[shell radish]

i can change that

[wild prairie]

I don't think I see a practical difference

Unless using a group created with bot.create_group outside of the cog is the crucial detail?

[shell radish]

yes

[cloud bloom]

what does this mean

I changed the folder that my cog was in to a subfolder

and also changed the path

and it prints in the file's setup function

[shell radish]

do all other commands work?

[cloud bloom]

this is my only command

so far

[shell radish]

was the bot invited correctly

[cloud bloom]

commands worked before so I assume so

ooooo

something interesting

I have a print statement when it syncs commands

but it doesn't print

wat does that mean

nvm it prints now

that's so weird

WHOA

ok I figured it out

I had to REFRESH and then click instead of press enter to run the slash command

heh sorry

& ty

[shell radish]

:o

[cloud bloom]

heisenburger

[lapis dock]

I think this happens when the integration is updated while the discord client is "accessing it". IE you have the command typed in the text bot and than restart the bot than press enter. I might be wrong tho

[cloud bloom]

probably something along those lines

[shell radish]

does this work?

[wild prairie]

Looks great, thank you!

[dreamy prawn]

Im using an f-string spread over multiple lines for my bots response. Is there a way to stop the response being tabbed in like can be seen in forst screenshot?

[cloud bloom]

It's in the f string itself, shift tab it out

those tabs are characters in the actual f string

what you could do instead is .replace(" ", "")

which would remove all sequences of four spaces

[dreamy prawn]

Thank you! That did it.

[cloud bloom]

awesome

oop sorry for ping

[dreamy prawn]

its fine 🙂

[stray pasture]

I am looking to host my discord bot on a cloud service (looking for 4 Gb of RAM). I found that OVH looks like a great option (very cheap). I was wondering if anybody used it before, because when checking comments on internet a lot of people are saying their Ip are in a lot of blacklists. Would it work to host discord bot ?

[cloud bloom]

because when checking comments on internet a lot of people are saying their Ip are in a lot of blacklists
if that's a big problem sparkedhost might be good cause they have a really really good customer service (from my experience)

but

are bad ips a problem for a discord bot?

[stray pasture]

exactly, I am not sure if it is a problem. If it is not, them no problem with OVH

I will go take a look at sparkedhost !

[wary wyvern]

How can I add my commands inside of the bot class?

class TicketsBot(commands.Bot):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__(
            help_command=None,
            command_prefix='+',
            intents=discord.Intents.all()
        )

    async def on_ready(self):
        print(f'Successfully logged in as {self.user}')

[cloud bloom]

why do you want to do that

but if you do that, you can probably just see how the decorator adds the command and do that in __init__ for a function that you make inside the class

found it

self.add_application_command(result)

  def add_application_command(self, command: ApplicationCommand) -> None:
        """Adds a :class:`.ApplicationCommand` into the internal list of commands.

        This is usually not called, instead the :meth:`command` or
        other shortcut decorators are used instead.

        .. versionadded:: 2.0

        Parameters
        ----------
        command: :class:`.ApplicationCommand`
            The command to add.
        """```

[wary wyvern]

Cool;
Thanks.

[sage tendon]

why is the correct question

there is no point

[rugged lodge]

Here's the slash cog example.

[fresh sierra]

@wary wyvern

[tidal vessel]

Guys, can someone help me with an example of how to use the checks parameter of the SlashCommandGroup class?

[fresh sierra]

for a custom check ?

[tidal vessel]

Yes, I want to check if a user is an administrator

[fresh sierra]

here an example :

example = discord.SlashCommandGroup(name="example", default_member_permissions=discord.Permissions(administrator=True))

[tidal vessel]

oh, it works, thank you very much

[errant trout]

(Note that admins can change this permission !)

[tidal vessel]

I noticed that group commands no longer appear for non-admin users, is this correct? 🤔

[errant trout]

If you are using default_member_permissions, yes that's how it works

It will hide it if the user can't use it

Server admins can change the required permissions; on the other hand, checks is a list of internal checks that are always enforced, but they do not change visibility on discord

[tidal vessel]

I have learned something new, thanks for the clarification

[fast glade]

Can I edit an interaction's response given only the interaction ID as an integer, and not the full interaction object?

[errant trout]

No, because interactions also have a token required to make further responses.

you could probably edit it if you have the channel and message id

[fast glade]

Would it be possible if I saved the token alongside the ID?

[errant trout]

how long after are you trying to edit

[fresh sierra]

if you mean interaction reponse from the ctx.repond; only way is to do ctx.interaction.original_responset() and edit that

[fast glade]

Trying to see if I can edit previously sent messages in a user bot where I don't have direct access to messages

Though I'm aware that interactions have a short timeout period it should be fine for my purposes

[errant trout]

no chance

eh

[fresh sierra]

why would you not have access to it ?

cant u use the channel history ?

[errant trout]

because in the context of interactions, bots can respond in channels/guilds they don't have access to

[errant trout]

is it under 15 mins?

[fast glade]

It is yes

[fresh sierra]

its possible to run a slash command in a channel where the bot has no access ?

[errant trout]

then just store the interaction object itself? surely your bot will be alive during that time

[errant trout]

always has been

[fresh sierra]

never knew that

[fresh sierra]

cant you do :

await ctx.repond()
message = await ctx.original_message()
await message.edit()

[fast glade]

This is likely a better idea it would just require some refactoring

[errant trout]

nope

[fast glade]

Was curious if there was a quicker solution to avoid that :P

[fresh sierra]

why ?

[errant trout]

just use on_interaction to store every interaction by ID

[fresh sierra]

bot cant edit message if there have no access to the channel?

[errant trout]

because you can't edit a message in a channel you can't access

[fresh sierra]

ok

[errant trout]

(botvars are very useful)

[fresh sierra]

for what usecase do you need a user to run a command where the bot has no access to then edit it after ?

[errant trout]

well just for general followups, as long as it's within 15 mins it's not too unusual

the "bot doesn't have access" context is completely irrelevant, because this is not uncommon with interactions - they're built on strict rules where they can act freely in that context

with the release of user commands, this will be even more common

[cloud bloom]

for the most part though with app commands context is fixed right?

unless it interacts with the rest of the server if it's a mod bot or something

[errant trout]

as in?

[cloud bloom]

you can run an app command from a bot anywhere in the server if you have perms

[errant trout]

right

[cloud bloom]

but text commands the bot might have problems because it won't even be able to respond at all and you won't know if it can respond

[errant trout]

which is why they aren't encouraged

[cloud bloom]

yeeeep

[fresh sierra]

like do you have an example

[errant trout]

for what

[fresh sierra]

i dont really see when we need to do that

for why he is trying to do his thing

[cloud bloom]

oh lol you already mentioned that

[errant trout]

you're starting to sound more like toothy Ultimately i don't know how their bot is structured, but literally just

1. Respond to command
2. Do something in the background for like, 10 mins?
3. Update the same response

[sage tendon]

wow thx

[errant trout]

:)

[fresh sierra]

no like im trying to underrstand the usecase lmao

[sage tendon]

but i have a reason, namely, the xy problem

[fresh sierra]

like i learbned thing like that

[cloud bloom]

hakin

https://tenor.com/view/hacker-gif-19246062

[fresh sierra]

it wasnt meaning to be like is useless

its more like if i underestand why i might need it later for something

[errant trout]

most people would have all this code in one command, but it's possible that people have structured their bots differently to feed stuff across different files or classes

[cloud bloom]

you could defer it and pass the interaction to whatever different class you use

that'd work right

[fresh sierra]

but if i understand is not like an actual feature is more to just prevent in case it doesnt have access

[cloud bloom]

OR save the channel ID

wait...

oh I see the problem now

[errant trout]

well no, it is explicitly a feature

discord gives you 15 minutes to do whatever you want with an interaction token

[cloud bloom]

so you want to respond to something that you don't have access to after 15 mins but the command might take more an 15 mins

I see!

[errant trout]

well for this user, it's under 15 minutes so it's a valid question

[fresh sierra]

no but i mean his command was not for a channel that he doesnt have access at the begining, its just in case it doesnt have access that he wants to do that if i understand

[cloud bloom]

so it is possible

[fresh sierra]

now i understand

[errant trout]

the point is that developers are making their bots on the assumption that the bot doesn't have access

[fresh sierra]

i was thinking the point of his command was to be run in a channel where he doesnt have access to it

yes i understand now

i should implemenrte somethjing like that too when i need to edit after

sorry again if you were thinking i was saying it was useless, i was just trying to understand ;)

[cloud bloom]

wat

how would they even

[errant trout]

nah it's fine LOL

[cloud bloom]

who

[errant trout]

not everyone of course, but with interactions this isn't unusual

[cloud bloom]

ig people switching over

which makes senese

sense*

[fresh sierra]

if the bot doesnt have admin it is useful

[cloud bloom]

eh

if you have text commands

[errant trout]

and people making dedicated bots/commands for user contexts, where the bot has access to even less data

[fresh sierra]

text commands = prefix command ?

[cloud bloom]

what are dedicated bots

and dedicated commands

[errant trout]

before bots could run commands in channels they don't have access to, now they can run in guilds they don't have access to

[cloud bloom]

WHAT

wait wait wait

wait wait wait wait

how

[errant trout]

...user commands have existed for a month now

[fresh sierra]

wasnt it already kinda possible with integration ?

[cloud bloom]

..........................................................................................

[errant trout]

indeed, but http bots weren't as commonplace

[cloud bloom]

hooooww

[errant trout]

https://github.com/Pycord-Development/pycord/pull/2409/

(not merged yet since it's still a "preview" feature)

[cloud bloom]

no waaaay

wait so how does that work

are you just able to run the bot wherever

but only you can see it

which makes sense

[sage tendon]

for now

[cloud bloom]

oooooooooooooooooooooo

hooollllyyyy craaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaap

[sage tendon]

its not ephemeral in servers <200 members right now

[cloud bloom]

BUT STILL

that's amazin

[errant trout]

and always*, the permission will force ephemeral instead of disabling them

[sage tendon]

yea ok true

[cloud bloom]

wait is it accessible or not even ephemeral

[sage tendon]

not
ephemeral
(by default)

[devout glacier]

might there be a thing like discord.Attachment but instead of just uploading 1 attachment you can upload bunch?

in slash commands

[edgy nest]

nope

[quartz umbra]

Hi, How do some bots have commands with 2 words? Is that possible with py cord, I know obv underscore, but there's like /prune messages with a space. How do you define that?

[shell radish]

slash command groups

[rugged lodge]

Here's the slash groups example.

Here's the slash cog groups example.

[quartz umbra]

thanks for that. probably bit too elaborate for what my implementation though

[sage tendon]

it's really not hard, it's one line of code at best

[red mist]

Ehhhhhh- trust me- if you try hard enough you can have a very complicated core architecture.

My command groups for example are being self generated based on my folder structure.

[sage tendon]

Yes, but I like to adhere to KISS

I will never understand these whole command builders and shit, I don't see the point

[red mist]

what

[sage tendon]

what

[little cobalt]

I wrote my own command builder ;3

[deft kestrel]

is there a server size limit of when the on_presence_update events stops working?

[quartz umbra]

Hi. Is there any way to retrieve a user's avatar to a form which Pillow can understand? Ideally I don't want to be downloading it and saving to the filesystem if possible. Thank you

nvm, i think Image.read(io.BytesIO(await user.avatar.read())) should work, right?

[fresh sierra]

Can you elaborate on how it work ?, like it automatically create a group based on the folder and the file in the command are sub command ?

[fresh sierra]

To do what and how does it work ?

[fresh sierra]

Try and see, if it doesn’t work I have a solution for that

[little cobalt]

So, you know that you have to write discord.Option and all the other stuff

[fresh sierra]

Yes for the decorator

[little cobalt]

And for a description you have to add every time a description=""

[fresh sierra]

I don’t need to do that I have a function for when the bot start it automatically add each name description and localization and choices

So like you put a decorator and it put the description from file ?

[little cobalt]

My own decorator for it

Its the best way do to it at your own so you gonna learn from it

[fresh sierra]

So ur decorator put name description for options etc

I think the best way is to do a fonction before the bot start to itinerare into the pending command to add all of those for u don’t even have to put the decorator before each command

I will have to learn how to subclass application context also

[little cobalt]

And also for the slash command

[red mist]

I'm using pycord-multicog extension;

using that decorator

@add_to_group(get_current_folder()) above my normal slash command
it just adds the command to the command group based on where the cog is located in the dir (in what folder);

note I have a cog for every command;

and the get_current_folder() function just does what it says;

import os, inspect

def get_current_folder(stack: int = 2):
    """
    Returns the name of the current folder a file is in.

    Returns
    -------
    :class:`str` The name of the current folder.
    """

    return str(os.path.basename(get_current_path(stack)))

def get_current_path(stack: int = 1):
    return os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(inspect.stack()[stack].filename))

It gets the current folder where the file that executes the function is located in.

[fresh sierra]

thats smart

rn im doing somehting like that

i have the init where all the group are created

and then folder are sub subgroup

[red mist]

about the same.

[fresh sierra]

i have a suggestion

idk if that possible

but instead of putting the same decorator for each command

cant you at the begining make a function that will do that for each command ?

here how look my commands

[fresh sierra]

what is the use of stack ?

[lofty parcel]

You technically can (according to google), but decorators are meant to be for single functions as they're supposed to be modifiers for a function.

[fresh sierra]

yep so it depend if they used that for each command or not

[sage tendon]

but why? you still have to put the description somewhere

[fresh sierra]

he does if i understood :
@slash command
@decorator

for then he doesnt need to put name options etc, which is a good idea because i will be too lazy to do each time name=, description=, name_localization=, description_localization=

are they really people who does that for each ?

[sage tendon]

I never use name= or description=

[sage tendon]

but then where do you put them

[fresh sierra]

personally i dont i have a function in my setup_hook that put all those attribute. But if i understand zervy does like that :

@config
@slash_command()
async def (self, ctx: discord.applicationContext, member: discord.Member) etc etc

and he doesnt use the decorator since the @config put name description etc, even if i dont know how he can do for choice or more than 1 not required without decorator

[arctic oar]

With the pycord paginator is it possible to have the embeds for each page get created per page change

I would like to fetch data from the database and present it

[little cobalt]

The config one is adding choices

[fresh sierra]

And how do u do for multiple non required or autocomplete

Because rn with my thing I can do all of that except multiple required None, default and autocomplete

[vital bramble]

I'm too lazy to test it: What error do I get, if I try to use discord.Interaction.edit_original_response() on an interaction that I have not responded to?

I tested it anyways. Seems to be a NotFound.

[vital bramble]

Why does discord.Interaction.edit_original_response() on a component interaction edit the message the component was attached to but in a slash command interaction it edits the response or throws an error?

[vital bramble]

Considering the following code:

print(await interaction.original_response())
print(interaction.message)
print((await interaction.original_response()) == interaction.message)

Why do I get this output?

<InteractionMessage id=1246171041382797398 channel=<TextChannel id=1117427672683917403 name='help' position=13 nsfw=False category_id=1117427563107721226 news=False> type=<MessageType.application_command: 20> author=<Member id=925830334547910686 name='Testimesti' discriminator='4483' bot=True nick=None guild=<Guild id=717770840221024422 name='The Archive' shard_id=0 chunked=True member_count=14>> flags=<MessageFlags value=0>>

False

InteractionMessage and Message have the same id and thus should compare equal. But they don't. Why?

this is the __eq__ method of both of them:

def __eq__(self, other: object) -> bool:
    return isinstance(other, self.__class__) and other.id == self.id

Oh and that's exactly the problem.
It checks the class too. Is that intended?

I guess, whoever wrote that didn't consider that self.__class__ doesn't refer to EqualityComparable but to the actual object...

class EqualityComparable:
    __slots__ = ()

    id: int

    def __eq__(self, other: object) -> bool:
        return isinstance(other, self.__class__) and other.id == self.id

    def __ne__(self, other: object) -> bool:
        return not self.__eq__(other)

Hi, if I have an Image object in Pillow, how can I convert it into an EmbedMedia object, or is it necessary for me to save it?

[red mist]

The amount of directories to move

I cant explain

Wait-

Oh- that's a lot of blackmark. I hope this won't be seen as flooded text

[fresh sierra]

Why so many black mark lmaoo. But I think I understood

[red mist]

Oh nvm

It got deleted

[fresh sierra]

Like if for example if you have a folder in a folder

[red mist]

Euhhh

[fresh sierra]

So it need to check the first folder read all file and then check for the other folder inside of the first one ?

[red mist]

Wait I'm stupid I should just share a link to it

https://chatgpt.com/share/7e7cb171-f4cf-4b15-beb0-077e3d794bf6

[errant trout]

You save it to a BytesIO object and seek back to 0, then it's usable in discord.File

[red mist]

what.

Uhhhhhhhhhh

When you call get_current_folder(), it looks two levels up the call stack by default:The first level is the call to get_current_folder itself.The second level is the caller of the function that called get_current_folder.When you call get_current_path(), it looks one level up the call stack by default:The first level is the call to get_current_path.This allows you to dynamically determine the directory or folder name based on where the function was called from, which can be particularly useful for logging, debugging, or handling file paths in scripts and modules.

It just looks 2 levels up >.>

[quartz umbra]

Just encountered the weirdest error in my opinion:py discord.errors.NotFound: 404 Not Found (error code: 10062): Unknown interaction
I'm not sure if this is a once off thing or what. The code is py ctx.respond(embed=embed)

in a bot command

[little cobalt]

you get an error if the command takes for than 3 seconds to respond

do you use anything like requests?

also try to defer the command

[wintry pawn]

I get this error for some reason

  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.10/dist-packages/discord/ext/bridge/__init__.py", line 26, in <module>

  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.10/dist-packages/discord/ext/bridge/bot.py", line 29, in <module>
    from discord.interactions import Interaction

How do I fix this?
Bot was working before

[little cobalt]

is that the full list?

[wintry pawn]

yep

[little cobalt]

do you use py-cord or discord.py?

[wintry pawn]

pycord

huh

for some reason it's not there

[little cobalt]

than why is it not at the list?

also uninstall the discord.py stuff

also what is that?

[wintry pawn]

idk, tbh, that was from the last botmaker

tried to install, got this:

Requirement already satisfied: ffmpeg-python>=0.2.0 in /usr/local/lib/python3.10/dist-packages (from pycord) (0.2.0)

Requirement already satisfied: setuptools in /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages (from imageio-ffmpeg>=0.4.2->pycord) (59.6.0)```

so it's there but... it's not there?

[lapis dock]

pycord != py-cord
You need to have py-cord

[wintry pawn]

fuck

[lapis dock]

uninstall these like zervy said too

discord-py-interactions 5.12.1
discord-typings         0.8.0

[shell radish]

you should probably uninstall like everything

[lapis dock]

And you probably are installing them in the wrong place if it says its installed but not showing up

[shell radish]

except for pip

[lapis dock]

Are you using a venv?

[wintry pawn]

nope, previous bot guy wasn't even using fucking git

[little cobalt]

Im also not really using git

[lapis dock]

Probably best to start a venv. Than the packages will install to the right place

[wintry pawn]

well, they didn't use any version controll at all

[little cobalt]

pip freeze > pip.txt
pip uninstall -r pip.txt

@wintry pawn

[wintry pawn]

done

now what?

[little cobalt]

install py-cord

[wintry pawn]

finnally

thank you so much

[sage tendon]

lmfao

is there really no command to uninstall everything

[shell radish]

that’s like saying you should be able to install everything

[sage tendon]

no

but
pip uninstall --all
why not?

[deft kestrel]

                use_soundboard=True,

how it's called this permission?

[errant trout]

sorry, soundboard hasn't been fully implemented yet

[forest tulip]

how to add

[fresh sierra]

It’d automatic

U can’t do anything about that

[forest tulip]

saddo

[rain dune]

is there any inbuilt function, which can convert multiple embeds to paginator directly?

[grizzled loom]

you can simply use multiple at once

[fresh sierra]

Just do a list of those embed

And then pass them

embeds = []
Embeds.append(embed) * 10
pages=embeds

Like si

[grizzled loom]

here is how i did it, with a subclass but otherwise its the same:

        paginator = MyPaginator(
            pages=embeds, show_disabled=False, author_check=True, disable_on_timeout=True, timeout=300
        )

        await paginator.respond(interaction=ctx.interaction)

"embeds" is a list with several embends in it

[rain dune]

alright thanks

[grizzled loom]

welcome

[rain dune]

is it something like i can add only 10 embeds in paginator?

embeds has a maximum of 10 elements.

im getting error like this

[errant trout]

you can only have 10 embeds per page

(10 embeds per any message)

[rain dune]

ohk thanks

[rain dune]

isn't it possible to like pass on all the embeds as a list and it the will optimally create the pages and make the paginator?

[lapis dock]

what do you mean by optimally? It can put 1 embed per page if thats what you mean

[deft kestrel]

Does anyone have a base strucutre of everythingf embeds can include?

[little cobalt]

its also at the docs what you can do with embeds

[deft kestrel]

its not very clear

which docs are you refering to?

[errant trout]

wdym

[shell radish]

.embeds

[sly karma]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/381963689470984203/1014330043507408896/unknown-2.png

[shell radish]

@deft kestrel ^

[deft kestrel]

thank u

[rain dune]

i mean like i will pass the whole list, and it will make the pages of 10-10 and rest elements in another page automatically and then send

[errant trout]

Just look up how to chunk lists in Python

Then make a page object for each set of embeds

Note that even with the 10 embed limit, all text must be under 6000 characters per message

[rain dune]

alright thanks

ill do it

[green kernel]

Hello

How long does it normally take for a guild-only slash command to register?

Added a new one and it's not registering as it usually is

[sage tendon]

instantaneously

restart discord to see it

[green kernel]

o ok

'nother question, how do I do that "bot is thinking..." thing?

[sage tendon]

await ctx.defer()

only do that when you need it tho

[green kernel]

thanks, should do be followed be a ctx.followup or will ctx.respond() work just fine?

[sage tendon]

respond

[green kernel]

any ideas guys?

i slapped this on a vps and it very much not willing to run

[lofty parcel]

What's the requirements.txt?

[forest tulip]

its possible to make 2 select menus in 1line?

like buttons with rows

like that

all what i got its my bestxd

[sage tendon]

you can't make select menus side by side

[winter moss]

i've a interaction code,
Even tho I haven't set ephemeral=True it still doesn't show to others.

[little cobalt]

Can you show some of the code?

[winter moss]

Oh don't mind my bad there I missed it in another file,

Anyways, Another Issue I am facing is that options are limited to 25, isn;t there a way to increase the limit or a better approach to it?

[little cobalt]

which options?

select menu options?

[winter moss]

Select Options

Yes

[little cobalt]

choices? at slash commands?

[winter moss]

Select Choices / options, isn't that same?

What ever the dropdown is

[little cobalt]

one is a select options for a select menu and the other one is at slash commands

[winter moss]

the prior one

[little cobalt]

dropdown got a limit of 25 sadly and you cannot increase it

do you use a str menu?

[winter moss]

nope, I didnt define such thing

[little cobalt]

so you just did ui.Select?

[winter moss]

Yes, Can i get a visual represention of its types to get a better understanding of difference between them

Although am just using them to show strings so naturally i should be going for string type by the ring of it. It increases the limit?

[little cobalt]

the normal ones got a limit of 25

but there are also channel and user ones

[winter moss]

Ah I see

Whats the limit for string one

[little cobalt]

.

https://guide.pycord.dev/interactions/ui-components/dropdowns

[winter moss]

I read somewhere that its 40 for string ones?

[errant trout]

nope, 25

(you can only specify string anyway; the others are automatic)

[granite pier]

hey, anyone noticed missing avatars while not using cache?

[little cobalt]

nope

[granite pier]

i mean user/members display_avatar is like blank sometimes

(outdated, 404)

[deft kestrel]

I know this isnt pycord related but pythong isnt pythoning right now, basically i have the bot token set in an Enviroment

i can read it from all python files

but it doesnt work on 1 specific one

even though it read it the same way as the other ones:

[granite pier]

from os import getenv
from dotenv import load_dotenv

load_dotenv(override=True)
...

[deft kestrel]

forgot to mention that i set it

[sage tendon]

what

[deft kestrel]

Like i get the token from the database wit ha function

set it an an enviroment variable and then read it back liket hat

[sage tendon]

...why

[deft kestrel]

because i want to use the token between different python files for various discord requests

[granite pier]

dont store token in db

just use .env file

or set it in system env variables

[deft kestrel]

Yeal lemme store 60000 bot tokens in a env file

[sage tendon]

If you have 60000 bot tokens you're doing it wrong

[granite pier]

or abusing

[deft kestrel]

Just look at my profile conections

[sage tendon]

best way is still just config.py

bot1 = token
bot2 = token
etc

[sage tendon]

why do you tell people to look at your connections in your about me lol

[deft kestrel]

So people know im not an imposter

basically i launch my bot in a docker container which gets the token from the database. reading BOT_TOKEN from the ENVIROMENT (NOT .ENV) works fine on 3/4 files

but it doesnt on that one specific one

[fresh sierra]

why set a token in a environnement if you get it from the database ?

[deft kestrel]

So i dont have to read it 4 different times

[fresh sierra]

fetchall from the database
for token in tokens :
do your thing

why not just store it as a variable ?

[deft kestrel]

because i have 4 different files

[fresh sierra]

from ... import token

[deft kestrel]

thats a thing?

[fresh sierra]

that's basic python

from ur file import the var

[deft kestrel]

bruh i thought that only worked for functions

[fresh sierra]

and it will import it from the file

it works for everything

[deft kestrel]

the more you know

[fresh sierra]

?

you still have some issue ?

[deft kestrel]

that was it

[fresh sierra]

so now everything is working fine ?

[deft kestrel]

yeah i have to fix some parts of the code to use that from ... import tt

[fresh sierra]

good luck then

[sage tendon]

or just import your config file and then config.token lol

so many ways to do it

[granite pier]

i also had some issues with loading it via aiohttp CS as they were outdated

[granite pier]

btw

member = member or ctx.author

[fresh sierra]

does this member has an avatar for the server?

[sage tendon]

use f Strings lol

[fresh sierra]

member.color that a thing ?

[rugged lodge]

Searched in pycord

discord.Member.color
discord.Member.colour
discord.WidgetMember.color
discord.Member.accent_color
discord.WidgetMember.colour
discord.Member.accent_colour
discord.WidgetMember.accent_color
discord.WidgetMember.accent_colour

[fresh sierra]

i dont understand what is member.color

[granite pier]

its display_avatar

[granite pier]

top role color

haha

[fresh sierra]

oooo

[granite pier]

im more into .format in this bot for consistency haha

[fresh sierra]

display_avatar should show the avatar of thge member in the server by definition(i guess) so maybe i does an error with that

[sage tendon]

I'll be real I think I had a similar issue now that I think of it

[granite pier]

server - (is missing) > user - (is missing) > default

[fresh sierra]

also do you have this issue using user and not member ?

[granite pier]

yeah its mostly invalid when someone change avatar

[sage tendon]

I pass display avatars to an API
and the past days it's been broken a couple of times
I thought it was the API, but it might have just been discord not working then

[granite pier]

yeah i think its more like api issue

but i pref to ask

[fresh sierra]

discord is a lot broken lately

[little cobalt]

where is your .url at the avatar?

[granite pier]

any i think

[granite pier]

its asset so theres no need for that

[sage tendon]

not needed (?)

[fresh sierra]

yesterdaty it was not possible to add some bot

[fresh sierra]

can you give me l'id of the member where you cant get the avatar ?

[granite pier]

i mean its missing sometimes

so e.g. when someone change avatar

[fresh sierra]

just to try if i have the same issue for that member

[granite pier]

not missing but invalid *

[granite pier]

but i think it would be strange then

cause they work after hard bot restart

so i was wondering if its not issue related to lib also

[sage tendon]

possible

[granite pier]

ill add some debug for it

and mby ill find some issues haha

tf

avatar in logs was valid

i mean url

[deft kestrel]

How do I set the presence to 'watching me' using pycord

[granite pier]

yeah discord embeds are broken

[deft kestrel]

Can I have the full snippet

[sage tendon]

that is literally everything lol

[lapis dock]

its a kwarg for the bot constructor

[deft kestrel]

yeah but before activity=Activity

[granite pier]

manual PIL load vs embed

[sage tendon]

discord.Bot(activity..)

[deft kestrel]

async def on_ready():
    print(f"WORKING AS {bot.user}")
    discord.Bot(activity=Activity(type=ActivityType.watching, name="you"))
    await main() ``` ??

[sage tendon]

lol

[lapis dock]

it should go in your existing bot constructor

dont make a new one

[sage tendon]

you can set / change it in on_ready

but there's no point if its supposed to be static

[fresh sierra]

you should not use discord.Bot in the on_ready

if you want to make it change in the on_ready you should use :

await bot.change_presence(activity=activity)

[granite pier]

kinda stupid but fetching it and passing as attachment works without any problems haha

it seems that discord embed breaks after setting a newly changed avatar/banner etc.

[glossy latch]

how can i add try my command in the bot profile ?

[lofty parcel]

You don't

It's set by discord only to verified apps

[glossy latch]

ah okey

thx sir!

[deft kestrel]

what if i want it to be changing

[sage tendon]

then change it when you want

[deft kestrel]

how do i have it just anytwhere in the code

and always changing

[lofty parcel]

You have to create a task.

And iterate over your predefined activities.

[deft kestrel]

can you help with this

[sage tendon]

https://guide.pycord.dev/extensions/tasks

[deft kestrel]

oh cool

[half terrace]

Okay, so I wanted to have a single command that is prefix only (not a slash command) and there are 2 problems

1. bot.command() still creates slash command
2. if the function does not use .respond(), but .send() then discord shows message that the app is not responding

bot = discord.Bot(command_prefix='?', intents=intents)
        
@bot.command(name='debug', description='debug stuff etc.')
@commands.has_role(RoleId.admin)
async def debug(ctx: discord.ApplicationContext):
    await ctx.send('test')

this should be prefix command, but it's not + shows up (and works) as a slash one

[edgy nest]

you need to use commands.Bot for prefix commands

[half terrace]

ohhh, will try, thanks

[little cobalt]

you currently mix slash and prefix commands

[half terrace]

yup, during migrating (from discord.py) I changed it to discord.Bot as it said in one tutorial (guide.pycord.dev) but changing it back fixed everything, thanks
