[potent forge]

So how do we do this in 2.3?

channel_types=[discord.ChannelType(5)]) no longer seems to work.

[plucky jackal]

@potent forge

discord.abc.GuildChannel

For slash cmds

[potent forge]

thanks mate

[late siren]

This is my code,

I can not use announcement channel

dev logs is an announcement channel

[wanton blade]

Do you get an error in the console

[late siren]

no

I can't select announcement channel

[wanton blade]

Try typing it out into the input thing and see if it appears

[late siren]

I've did it

and don't work

[wanton blade]

is the announcements channel private?

[late siren]

no

and my bot has administrator permission

[wanton blade]

Can i see the full code for the command

[late siren]

@bot.slash_command(name="announce", description="Announce something in a channel")
@commands.has_permissions(administrator = True)
@commands.cooldown(1, 20, commands.BucketType.user)  # the command can only be used once in 60 seconds
async def announce(ctx, text : Option(str, required=True),title : Option(str, required=True), value : Option(str, required=True), annchannel : Option(discord.TextChannel, required=True),):
    embed = discord.Embed(
        title = title,
        description = value,
        color = ctx.author.color,
    )
    embed.set_author(name = f"Announcement from {ctx.author.name}#{ctx.author.discriminator}", icon_url = ctx.author.avatar)
    embed.set_footer(text = ctx.guild.name, icon_url = ctx.guild.icon)
    sending = await ctx.respond("Sending...", ephemeral = True)
    await annchannel.send(f"{text}", embed = embed)
    await sending.edit_original_message(content="Sended!")

[late siren]

here

[wanton blade]

Ok

try doing the ctx.respond last

[late siren]

i mean there is problem at selecting channels

[wanton blade]

Is there any console output from the command

[late siren]

no

[wanton blade]

Ok

[late siren]

There is no error

[wanton blade]

at the beginning of the command code

print out the id of the channel input

and send the console ouput

[late siren]

it shows the id of the channel

[wanton blade]

Ok

[late siren]

my problem is "I can't select announcement channel"

[wanton blade]

Oh

Because

Which icon does your announcements channel have

[late siren]

the second one

[wanton blade]

Ok

So thats why

If a channel has that icon

it is not of the type TextChannel

Try inputting type discord.channel.Channel

[late siren]

ok

[wanton blade]

your announcements channel is type NewsChannel

[late siren]

...

[split dome]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api.html?highlight=channeltype#discord.ChannelType.news

could you do a pip freeze please

[leaden quest]

you're probably seeing discord.types.channel.NewsChannel, but there is no true discord.NewsChannel object

you can use discord.abc.GuildChannel to include announcement channels, but that also includes everything

(this is why i PR'd ##1422 because there's literally no way to have newschannels outside of using GuildChannel because the NewsChannel object doesn't exist, but it was denied since it isn't quite inline with the API. Feel free to use this if you want to include NewsChannel with discord.TextChannel, though it's a relatively basic patch) this PR is redundant for 2.0, but it still doesn't change the fact it's unclear on how to implement this

https://github.com/Pycord-Development/pycord/pull/1422

[wanton blade]

Ah ok that makes sense

[leaden quest]

@late siren ignore this PR since it's incompatible, found the solution anyway;
completely undocumented (haha), but Option allows you to pass in channel_types to specify other channels. NewsChannel is channeltype 5, so you want something like py channel: Option(discord.TextChannel, channel_types=[discord.ChannelType(5)], ...)

[late siren]

can it be added to the doc? otherwise it will be confusing

[late siren]

...

[lucid swan]

Yes it will be documented eventually
