if there's any changes in particular you want to ask about then go ahead, but yeah most of these changes probably don't affect you

drifting current
#

is this just a name change?

cyan quail
#

you now check permissions from the channel instead of the member

#

so if before you were doing ctx.author.permissions_in(ctx.channel), it would become ctx.channel.permissions_for(ctx.author)

#

as one example

drifting current
#

I see

cyan quail
#

this is more inline with how discord shows permissions to the user (i.e. opening a channel's edit menu to see all user and role permissions)

drifting current
#

yeah its a pain to change it everywhere wowcry

#

definitely cool for new coders but migrating is e.e

cyan quail
#

if it wasn't now, you're more or less guaranteed to run into breaking changes somewhere along the line

#

ultimately just a part of development

drifting current

hi guys, trying to set up a venv for my bot repo and it is an absolute nightmare lmao

#

i'm using vscode as my ide

#

when i made the venv it automatically detected it and asked if i wanted to switch to it, i said yeah

#

all good so far. but when i install stuff with pip, it installs to my global packages, not to my venv

#

and when i run where python i get my global installation in program files or whatever

silver moat
#

you need to activate your venv

#

and you see a (env) next to the cmd line prompt

cyan quail
#

pretty sure vscode also has a ui interface for package management for your venv

celest lichen
#

oh really ???

#

shouldnt this be working ??

unknown.png
#

this is using normal cmd prompt, when i try to activate the venv in the default vscode bash terminal it doesn't even recognise the command

cyan quail
#

python -m pip

celest lichen
#

ughhhh yep that was it lmaoo

silver moat
cyan quail
#

ah i see

#

pycharm supremacy

celest lichen
#

installing that now, thank you

#

does pycharm have source control tools? might install it

silver moat
celest lichen
#

yeah sorry

fervent cradle
#

What would be the best way to repeat a command? I’m sending a request and if the return containers a certain word I want it to just retry instead of them manually retrying the command.

cyan quail
#

pycharm's awesome but do note it's fairly different to vscode so if you're comfortable with vs then you might not enjoy the switch

cyan quail
fervent cradle
#

Yes

cyan quail
#

or prefix

#

hmmmm

silver moat
#

use a command mention

celest lichen
#

i've used vscode for quite a while - if it'd be a rly steep learning curve then i might stick with it

silver moat
#

so they click and enter

cyan quail
#

^ either print a mention, or if you want it to be "automatic" then you'd need to give them some sort of component to reinvoke it with a new interaction token

fervent cradle
#

I see

#

Thanks for the help guys

cyan quail
#

all good

silver moat
#

you're welcome

fervent cradle
#

I’m currently using ctx.invoke which works but when the command is invoked ctx.respond doesn’t work. So it sends the request but there’s no user feedback because it can’t respond. Would there be anything I could do with that?

cyan quail
#

e.g. send a button, and in the callback py ctx.interaction = interaction await ctx.invoke(...)

fervent cradle
#

Alright ty

Hello, peoples. what is this error ?

How long should I expect Bot.wait_until_ready() to take on a bot in a few hundred servers?

rare ice
#

Maybe a few seconds -10 seconds depending on your host and latency?

royal spindle
#

what was the class in which pycord auto converted normal commands to slash commands, was that on a seperate branch altogether?

silver moat
dire spadeBOT
silver moat
#

@royal spindle

royal spindle
#

so will ctx.send be converted to the ephemeral type in the slash command version of the same?

silver moat
royal spindle
#

so will the followup be automatically implemented?

silver moat
#

text-based will be a reply

royal spindle
#

if i use ctx.respond 2 times

silver moat
#

yeah

#

ctx.respond already does that afaik

royal spindle
#

it does?

#

so if i disable the normal counterpart by doing client.get_command
will the slash version also get disabled?

#

I was actually looking for this class for this reason

#

the normal command has a boolean .enabled

fervent cradle
#

yo

#

how can i create a forum channel using the api

#

or pycord

silver moat
#

you can’t if the server doesn’t have access to them in the first place

How can i get category id

tiny wagon
#

whats the pblm here:

type_: Option(str, 'Choose Global or server leaderboard', choices=['Global', 'Server'], default='Global'),

order: Option(str, 'Order of Leaderboard', choices=['Ascending', 'Descending'], default='Descending')```
docs say providing default sets required to False, but still discord shows it as required argument while testing

how can i see in what servers my bot is

cyan quail

what

#

that's literally the answer

mortal cairn
#

how do i properly add a function to be executed before the main command invocation in a slash command? like before_invoke() but i couldn't get it to work with slash commands

tiny wagon
#

should show | +2 optional

#

also cant send command leaving blank, so required not working in this case

#

Hi, so i have a question, i can make buttons, directly in the command? After @bot.slash_command, because i only need that button in one command, and it need a parameter of the command.

strange wagon
#

i've seen bots where it's possible to upload files with slash commands - how do I do that with pycord?

Or you can also use Option

Is it possible to send a message through timeout

I made a button with a callback function and id like to add a timeout to that, how would one?

Is there any way I can host the docs page locally? I'm currently on holidays and don't have decent internet so loading the docs takes a while longer than I would like.

young bone

#

I've downloaded the 'docs' folder from the github page, but don't know how to run it.

wet leaf
#

I only want it to respond to one user

#

But the whole server tho be able to interact with it

rare ice
#

you said a timeout

wet leaf
#

Yeah? What else would you call it

#

To timeout if the user does not interact within x seconds

rare ice
#

yes thats a view timeout

wet leaf
#

Yeah tho that wont really work in my case as everyone can see the button

#

But it only responds to one person

#

Does waitfor work for buttons?

rare ice
#

then you're looking for an interaction check to check that the interaction.user is the person who ran the command

wet leaf
#

Im pretty sure you could do it using that

rare ice

hey guys so i use this code for a command, but i just noticed that the response is really slow, is there anyway i can speed up the response

I'm having trouble adding multiple select dropdowns to a message. I assume it's possible but can't get it to work. I figured this would work but it's not: class TemplateSelection(discord.ui.View): @discord.ui.select( placeholder = "Choose X", options = options_list ) @discord.ui.select( placeholder = "Choose Y", options = options_list )

cyan quail
#

i.e. ```py
@discord.ui.select(...)
async def callback_a(self, select, interaction):
...

@discord.ui.select(...)
async def callback_b(self, select, interaction):
...```

wooden bone
#

Gotcha. How would I do it without decorators? I'm pretty new to the library

cyan quail
#

if you want it without decorators, you can construct them and assign the callbacks separately ```py

Notice capitalization

select_a = discord.ui.Select(...)

async def callback(self, interaction):
...

select_a.callback = callback```

#

this would make it easy to assign the same callback to multiple components, but you should ensure to use custom_id in the select menu to properly validate the input

wooden bone
#

Okay, I think I see how that goes together.

#

As for the message itself, how would I get both of them to show at the same time?

cyan quail
#

(also those code samples were written with the assumption you're doing them inside your view class)

#

if you're subclassing discord.ui.View:

  • if you're using decorators, it'll be assigned to the view automatically
  • if you're not, you should do self.add_item(...)
#

then when sending the message, you just pass in view=... as a kwarg

wooden bone
#

Okay, got it. I'll fiddle around with this and see how it goes. Still getting used to Python object stuff

#

Thanks!

cyan quail

after using await bot.close() is it normal for the terminal to not give a new line to type in another command?

because every time i use my slash command to shutdown the bot, i still have to kill the terminal to start it up again

yes

it just closes the connection to discord's api

is there a way to make it more bearable to start the bot again?

you can just call exit() i think

hi guys, what exactly do lines like @bot.event do exactly? it's not syntax i've ever really seen outside of writing discord bots

#

i think i understand that 'bot.event' is an attribute of my bot object, it's the @ i'm confused about

fading granite
proud pagoda
fathom cipher
proud pagoda
#

It pretty much registers an event handler with the bot

#

So it takes the function below the decorator and runs that function every time the event is triggered

celest lichen
#

ahhhh

fathom cipher
proud pagoda
#

so if you have

@bot.event
async def on_message(msg):
  pass

the function will be run every time a message is sent

fading granite
#

how do you apply the same callback to multiple buttons which were created by a loop?

celest lichen
#

okay! thank you!

proud pagoda
celest lichen
#

i understand you now

proud pagoda
celest lichen
#

i did a whole course on python 3 on codecademy and i don't think they mentioned any of this haha

#

i assume i can find a list of all events in the readthedocs site

proud pagoda
fading granite
fathom cipher
#

bot.event is a method that takes a function (on_messasge) and subscribes and event based on the function's name

you could do the same thing just by

def on_message(msg):
  pass

bot.event(on_message)
proud pagoda
fading granite
#

ahh i get it

#

so button = Button()
then button.callback = await ...

proud pagoda
#

theres no need to put await

fading granite
#

hmm okay

proud pagoda
#

Because await will run the callback

#

since the callback should only run when the button is clicked

#

So instead so this:

button = Button()
button.callback = function_name
fathom cipher
#

await will not run.

proud pagoda
#

And the function should take one parameter of type discord.Interaction

ok so try that

okay well!! not crashing anymore! but when it prints to the console all it prints is <class 'discord.message.Message'> hahaha

woeful spindle
#

do cog listeners still require the self argument?

celest lichen
#

what is the difference between discord.Bot and commands.Bot anyways ??

lusty token
#

is there a way to put slash commands into a different document for the sake of Orgainization?

errant craneBOT
#

Here's the slash cog example.

grizzled sentinel
lusty token
#

I've used add_cog before i just wasn't sure if it'd work with Slash

grizzled sentinel
#

Works the same way :)

lusty token
#

ah good. It annoyes me when i have a buncha unrelievent code in my main.py

grizzled sentinel
#

understandable.

lusty token
#

would i do this instead for a slash command? @commands.slash_command() async def test(ctx):

#

instead of @commands.command()

#

Uh oh

#

so I tried to create the command in the document. but it doesn't seem to run

# 
import discord
from discord.ext import commands

import os
from dotenv import load_dotenv

class testCommand(commands.Cog):
    def __init__(self,bot):
        self.bot = bot

    @commands.slash_command()
    async def test(self,ctx: discord.ApplicationContext):
        await ctx.response("This Works")
#

nvm

#

i see it

can someone guide me on how to create buttons the guide on the website outdated and isnt working for

How do i make the bot react to embeds with slash commands

silver moat
silver moat
lusty token
#

how do i do that?

silver moat
#

If you already have the discord.Message object, you can use message.add_reaction()

lusty token
#

like

#

Message would be message = await ctx.respond("Message")

silver moat
#

await ctx.respond returns an interaction

#

b!rtfm pyc interaction.original_message

dire spadeBOT
silver moat
#

would give you the message,

lusty token
#

ah

# 
interaction = await ctx.respond("Message")
    message = interaction.original_message```
#

like this?

silver moat
#

it's a coro, you should await it

lusty token
#

i did

proud pagoda
#

Whats the error?

lusty token
#

the term isn't throwing one

#

the command isn't showing in the Ui

proud pagoda
#

Try to set guild_ids to the id of a guild that you will run the command in

#

So:

    @commands.slash_command(guild_ids=[...])
lusty token
#

still not showing

proud pagoda
#

hm I've heard that sometimes slash commands can take some time to display

#

So wait a few min

lusty token
#

if i code it into main it shows almost instantly

#

the command. when i code it into the doc i removes the command

proud pagoda
#

By the way, do you know if the cog loads?

lusty token
#

how can i tell?

proud pagoda
#

Add this to your cog:

@commands.Cog.listener()
async def on_ready(self):
  print("Cog is online")
lusty token
#

into my main, or into the Document?

proud pagoda
#

Into the cog

lusty token
#

is the cog one of my documents?

#

do u mean test or main

proud pagoda
#

What do you mean by document?

#

Into test

#

Within the class

mm

don't use json as a db

empty tree
empty tree
lusty token
#

i got it lol

empty tree
#

ah ok

rugged lantern
empty tree
#

nah it really doesn’t

#

of course it would be less performant than other options but if you’re just starting out it’s not that bad

lusty token
#

well I'm familiar with json. and this bot's not gonna be that big

empty tree
#

yeah personal-use types of projects that don’t rely on many reads and writes per second can use json

rugged lantern
#

it's a bad practice and generally unreliable if you want to change information stored in it. if you use json as a db you generally don't make it failsafe either so the odds of changing one set of data and before it is saved, try to alter another; are not minimal and will absolutely make the json invalid and unusable.

empty tree
rugged lantern
#

it's still a bad practice and you should switch to a proper db and use that practice instead- as it is both reliable for smaller and big projects. there's practically no reason to not choose a proper db over a .json file

empty tree
#

I’ll just dm

tranquil pivot
#

can you pass ctx into a modal?

I want to add the output to a json where the user id is the key

lusty token
rugged lantern
tranquil pivot
#

I'm also a fan of storing data in a database

#

So Norman I'm not sure if I should use a thread for this or not but I'm still having issues passing in ctx. Should it be like this? ```python
async def btn1callback(interaction: discord.Interaction):
print("Submit Time Button pressed")
if interaction.user != ctx.author:
await interaction.response

        #JSON
        user_id = str(ctx.author.id)

        await interaction.response.send_modal(MyModal(title="Time Submission", ctx= ctx))
# 
class MyModal(discord.ui.Modal):
    def __init__(self, ctx, *args, **kwargs) -> None:
        super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        print(ctx)
        self.add_item(discord.ui.InputText(label="Please enter your time in the mm:ss format"))

    # what is displayed as the Modal message 
    async def callback(self, ctx, interaction: discord.Interaction):
tranquil pivot
rugged lantern
rugged lantern
tranquil pivot
#

did you mean self, ctx?

rugged lantern
# 
class MyModal(discord.ui.Modal):
    def __init__(self, ctx, *args, **kwargs) -> None:
        self.ctx = ctx
tranquil pivot
#

do you mind explaining why that works? why do you need to set self.ctx = ctx?

rugged lantern
#

could you give me your command for the modal? idk how to properly phrase a solution unless you do that :p

tranquil pivot
#

sure

#

well the whole command is kind of long. Are you looking for the sub classed callback?

rugged lantern
#

for example await ctx.send_modal(modal)

#

or whatever you use to send the modal

#

ill just go by the example given from the docs wait

tranquil pivot
# 
async def btn1callback(interaction: discord.Interaction):
            print("Submit Time Button pressed")
            if interaction.user != ctx.author:
                await interaction.response

            #JSON
            user_id = str(ctx.author.id)

            await interaction.response.send_modal(MyModal(title="Time Submission", ctx= ctx))
            print(Submission_Info)
            Submission_Info = await self.Submission_Info(ctx)
            msg = await interaction.response.edit_message(embed = Submission_Info[0], view=view)
#

I'm using a button to call the modal

rugged lantern
#

tbh, i don't understand what the issue is? is ctx not passed to the modal

tranquil pivot
#

so your suggestion to add self.ctx=ctx to the init worked but I was just curious as to why it was needed

#

was it just because the other class needed it defined?

#

I just want to understand why

full basin
#

Modals don't take ctx.

#

That's why interaction is "missing" in your original function

#

Why would you even pass ctx? You don't use ctx to respond to a interaction

tranquil pivot
#

True I'm having to go about this is a convoluted way but I'm trying to get the output from multiple dropdowns and then insert them into a database. Since dropdown selections are local variables i'm dumping everything into a json then at the end I'll take that json and turn it into a sql insert statement

#

You're explanation makes sense. I appreciate it 🙂

meager heron
#

Just encountered something in 2.0.0 but not 2.0.0rc1.

If you have an import error in a cog, the bot will load without issuing any warnings (or crashing). The cog will just be skipped, so commands will disappear without explanation.

Is this a bug or intentional (for some reason)?

Nothing jumps out at me there. Try adding some logging

Or fire up the debugger and step through

cold eagle
meager heron
#

Go for it

#

Nothing jumps out at me. I'd try those logging statements so you can pinpoint where it's happening

#

Or someone else may catch what I missed

#

get_role() isn't a coro, so it shouldn't be that

You're missing the event decorator mate

View.message says this:

The message that this view is attached to. If None then the view has not been sent with a message.

I send a view with await ctx.respond(..., view=my_view), yet my_view.message is None. Am I misunderstanding this property?

celest lichen

are there any good online examples of per-server settings for bots written with pycord?

if isinstance(error, SomeException):

elif isinstance(error, discord.HTTPException):
    error = error  # type: discord.HTTPException
else:
    # ...

is there a way to type hint that error is a certain exception class per statement?

that would make IDE's work, like pycharm

Eventually I want to be able to edit the original interaction with "interaction.response.edit_message" but right now I'm focusing on getting the attachment

it's a slash command

I have it setup so it can except attachments when first starting the slash commands but there are known bugs so I wanted to have another way to add it. it works on my pc but not on my phone
