is there a way to disable all the current active buttons

[verbal escarp]

I am making a command "saferestart" which i want to disable all the active buttons and db operations before shutting down the bot. Is there a way to do this via an inbuilt module function

[somber elbow]

For ur db operations you should handle that depending on how you are using in it

For the button you could just use the on_interaction and return a message like bot will restart soon

[stiff bramble]

I think they wanna disable the buttons for the downtime but I don't think this is necessary. Bot restarts are rare and fast enough

[verbal escarp]

yes i want to disable all the buttons. There are stuff in my bot for example a "fight". so i just want to disable all of that before the bot closes

[verbal escarp]

im using asqlite

[somber elbow]

Disabling all the button are not possible

But using on_interaction to act as they are disable is possible

[verbal escarp]

i see. Thanks !

[somber elbow]

But this will stop every interaction including the current one

What I mean by not possible is that you would need to fetch each message with view and disabled them which will raise really quickly some rate limit

You technically can for non persistent buttons but it's not officially supported

[stiff bramble]

Actually wait. What's the idea here
Do you want to disable the buttons permanently, or do you want to re-enable them on restart (i.e. are you using persistent views)

i want to disable the buttons permanently

[verbal escarp]

True that might become an issue if the number of messages are large

[tribal condor]

Do you use persistent views or not ?

[verbal escarp]

no.

[tribal condor]

Ok lemme take a look rq then I'll give you something. But no guarantee that it will keep working when pycord updates

[verbal escarp]

Thanks !!

Unless Paillat finds smth I'd do it like Luma said
listen to on_interaction and send a response telling them to re-use whatever command caused that view, or whatever
And optionally fetch the message and disable the button, i don't think this would run you into any ratelimit as i doubt it happens that frequently

[verbal escarp]

that's also a good solution

    async def shutdown(bot: discord.Bot):
        for message_id, view in bot._connection._view_store._synced_message_views.items():
            if view.is_persistent():
                continue
            view.disable_all_items()
            target = view.parent or view.message
            if not target:
                continue
            try:
                await target.edit(view=view)
            except discord.HTTPException:
                logging.exception("Failed to disable view for message ID %d", message_id)

Try this

Wouldn’t that lead quite quickly to rate limit ?

[tribal condor]

Yes

It would
