self.children[n].disabled = True```
where `n` is the button location (within a view)

If you have a custom label you can use:
```py
custom_name.disabled = True```

how to get list of roles in one argument

[cerulean yacht]

i guess there is no way

[wooden zenith]

someone pls help me

im trying to do the link button

and its not working

this is what i have

class MyView(discord.ui.View):
@discord.ui.button(label="go to support page", style=discord.ButtonStyle.url, emoji="😎")
async def button_callback(self, button, interaction):
await interaction.response.send_message("You clicked the button!")

@bot.slash_command()
async def button(ctx):
await ctx.respond("This is a button!", view=MyView())

and idk where i put the url in

[proud pagoda]

You've got to manually add the link button using self.add_item(discord.ui.Button(label="...", url="...")) in the _init_ in the view

Also

[wooden zenith]

wait

what

[proud pagoda]

?tag codeblock

[obtuse junco]

Please put your code in a code block:
```py
Here is your Code
```

That makes reading code in Discord a lot easier:

print("This is an example.")

[wooden zenith]

in the where

[proud pagoda]

Add this to your view:

def __init__(self):
  super().__init__()
  self.add_item(discord.ui.Button(label="...", url="..."))

[wooden zenith]

in the section where it says

(discord.ui.view)

?

[proud pagoda]

Add it as another method for the disord.ui.View

[wooden zenith]

ok

[proud pagoda]

It's a basic python thing

It just initalizes the view

[wooden zenith]

i didnt understand what u where saying at first

[proud pagoda]

Alright

[wooden zenith]

i know now

[proud pagoda]

👌

                guild = self.client.get_guild(int(guild))
                channel = await guild.fetch_channel(int(channel))

[cyan quail]

see https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api.html#discord.Message.reference

[fervent cradle]

no indents, worked before

[cyan quail]

missing access is a very literal error

you can't get the channel from that guild

[fervent cradle]

then?

wdym

[cyan quail]

idk you literally don't have permissions

[frank herald]

Is there any way to see who removed someones reaction

[cyan quail]

don't think so; you can see whose reaction was removed, but not the person that initiated it (in case a moderator etc. removed someone elses)

[frank herald]

Sad

Someone is mass removing reactions and we dont know who

[cyan quail]

well they at least need manage messages

does that not narrow it down enough?

[vagrant crystal]

how do i add options to a select menu after it loads? when i make a Select object on __init__ it complains about the callback, and doing it in decorators doesnt work because the options are loaded from __init__ also

[cyan quail]

can you show what you've tried?

[vagrant crystal]

the follow_init used to just be in init

the data is passed through the bot object

oop forgot the callback

[cyan quail]

yeah you kinda just left it there

that syntax looks fine

[vagrant crystal]

i'd done dyn_sel.callback = self.the_method

and it complained about the arguments

[cyan quail]

can you show the full error?

[vagrant crystal]

when i put select first it says ctx is missing, and when i put ctx first it says select is missing

[cyan quail]

callbacks don't take the select argument unless you used the decorator

[slender abyss]

what theme is that i like it

[vagrant crystal]

so how do i get the selected thing out? is that a property on ctx?

[cyan quail]

this is a view right?

the class

[vagrant crystal]

yeah

[cyan quail]

access self.children

[slender abyss]

rtds

?

[vagrant crystal]

is the order of that list always consistent?

[cyan quail]

yes

the order they were added in

[slender abyss]

from left to right

[slender abyss]

bro?

[vagrant crystal]

is that the order of decorators? nvm ill figure it out

oh the theme is one monokai python i think

[slender abyss]

ty

[vagrant crystal]

thanks nelo

[slender abyss]

this

hmm

[empty tree]

if you haven’t fixed this yet you just need to call it with self (await self.toggle_drop(select, ctx))

[vagrant crystal]

did fix, thanks though

[empty tree]

ah alr

[amber shale]

@silver moat sorry i forgot to thank you
Thanks you very much for helping me 🙂

[loud holly]

Is it a good practice to make the ticket buttons persistant view? the examples ^^

[silver moat]

if it makes sense to you, then it's good

[loud holly]

I see, it's just that I'm not sure if the persistant buttons will work for buttons that are disabled

since bc everytime after the update, through thorough testing, I somehow find bugs etc

and then depending on the severity, I have to patch it ASAP

[frank herald]

Does anyone have an idea why Role.member doesnt work

Too much members?

[silver moat]

you need guild members intent

[shadow stratus]

#1016058923045888050 this bug is so annoying, it's been days and it still not patched

[silver moat]

it's patched on master branch

[shadow stratus]

I tried to install the last version of the master branch and it still not fixed

The command still don't have options

[fervent cradle]

Hey, is there somehow an event where I can manage my data entries from my database for my giveaway command? I was thinking of the on_ready event, but that's only when the bot comes online

[cyan quail]

how do people enter the giveaway

[fervent cradle]

with a button

[cyan quail]

so why don't you just save their entry when they click it

[fervent cradle]

That is made however I must draw the yes somehow and I can not make two raffles....

[cyan quail]

?

[fervent cradle]

so when i create the modal with the options so the time and the prize .. then have a asyncio with the time yk? and now when i start two giveaways then he draws only the last because of the asyncio. yk?

[cyan quail]

i'm not following

[fervent cradle]

And that's why I ask if there is an event for it where I can manage it so my database

[cyan quail]

so the command brings up a modal for you to set the time and prize

[prisma flicker]

Just use a task

Have it run every minute and process any giveaways that ended in the last minute

[cyan quail]

oh i see, deciding the winner

yeah that's the better option

it sounds like you're currently trying to sleep to the end of the giveaway?

[fervent cradle]

yes but its not works because when i create two giveaways then is the one giveaway not working because asyncio is then for the two giveaway. can you follow or not? btw. i'm sorry for my english.

[cyan quail]

all good

[prisma flicker]

Use a task

[cyan quail]

like jab said, you're better off using the tasks extension

[fervent cradle]

a loop?

[cyan quail]

mhm

[fervent cradle]

Okay

[cyan quail]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/ext/tasks/
https://guide.pycord.dev/extensions/tasks/

[fervent cradle]

i know this ^^

but how time was check?

[cyan quail]

just have it loop every minute and check if the current time is past the giveaway's end time

[prisma flicker]

In your giveaway table you store the winner and end time, and in the task you get all giveaways that ended in the past and have no winner, and then you pick the winner and update the table

[sly comet]

Would this be a good place for help with webhooks? I currently need help with creating them in a channel when something specific is said and use it only if there's no existing webhook in said channel, otherwise it uses the existing webhook.

[surreal glade]

does anyone know how to make a subcommand within a subcommand

im trying to make a command like %cfg usr set <val>

it raises an error with my code

@bot.group()
async def cfg(ctx):
    if ctx.invoked_subcommand is None:
        await ctx.send("ERR: ctx.invoked_subcommand is None")
@bot.group()
@cfg.command()
async def usr(ctx, usr: discord.Member):
    if ctx.invoked_subcommand is None:
        ctx.send("ERR: ctx.invoked_subcommand is None")

@usr.command()
async def set(ctx, vlue):
    embed = discord.Embed(title="Config ⚙", color=0xff0000)
    embed.add_field(name=f"User Set", value=f"{usr} set to {vlue}", inline=False)
    ctx.send(embed=embed)

[loud holly]

also I believe it's role.members

[loud holly]

It seems I won't be able to add it as persistent views bc of the params that it is being taken, from other classes etc

[surreal glade]

@lilac turret

urgent

actually wait stackoverflow solved

[sly comet]

Still looking for help with this, would really appreciate it

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api.html#discord.TextChannel.webhooks

[dusk burrow]

when will this be supported in forum_channel.create_thread?

[surreal glade]

suggest it in #suggestions

[dusk burrow]

okie

[loud holly]

What is the other best way to only get text channel, since the Union needs 2 args

i tried discord.channel hoping a miracle would work since I got that option but npe

I only want to get TextChannel

nvm I can put in only discord.TextChannel, it didn't work previously now it somehow worked

[heavy ibex]

overwrites = {
            interaction.user: discord.PermissionOverwrite(send_messages = True),
                'Members': discord.PermissionOverwrite(view_channel = False)
        }

guild = interaction.guild
cat = discord.utils.get(guild.categories, name="TESTING")
ticketchannel = await guild.create_text_channel(name='channel-name', category=cat, topic="testing", overwrites=overwrites)

What do I add instead of 'Members' to call to a role?

[sly comet]

I've tried some code using the TextChannel.webhooks and TextChannel.create_webhook, however I don't know how to get the webhooks from the list that TextChannel.webhooks generates, so it creates an error about the list not containing what I expected

[median tinsel]

Hi there, I recently migrated from discord.py too pycord, but when I did, I got an error saying that the discord.utils package didnt exist. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling several times but too no avail. Please let me know what could be causing the issue. Thanks.

[silver moat]

pip list in terminal and send output, thanks

[median tinsel]

Ight give me a few minutes

[undone smelt]

Does anyone have mondodb integrated I could peek at?

[copper dew]

mongodb ?

[median tinsel]

sorry for the ping it was an accident

[silver moat]

so uninstall py-cord and reinstall it

[median tinsel]

alright tysm

[lean marten]

Is it possible to check if a user voted for the bot in the last 12 hours?

[full basin]

Yes it is

[lean marten]

how

[full basin]

Assuming the site has an API

[silver moat]

assuming top.gg.

[lean marten]

yup top.gg

[full basin]

Theres a library for topgg iirc

[lean marten]

I only saw a event

[silver moat]

https://topggpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html#topgg.on_dbl_vote

[lean marten]

yea

on_dbl_vote

but it doesnt tell me if someone voted in the last 12 hours

[silver moat]

https://topggpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html?highlight=last 1000 votes#topgg.DBLClient.get_bot_votes

Other question

How can I add an element to an Object?
pymongo and in general

Like this:

feedback: {

    msg: "Good ig"
    stars: "5"
  }

  92919238298392: {
    msg: "not good lol"
    stars: "1"
  }

}

I'm still looking for help, I could send the code snippet if needed

[sly comet]

Never mind I figured it out, thanks nonetheless!

[umbral island]

Does anyone know how to make an argument have "Choices", for example the default /timeout command has the argument duration that shows a dropdown list of options to choose from. How can I have this dropdown as an argument? I cannot seem to find docs on it.

[prisma flicker]

duration: Option(int, choices=[1,2,3])

[umbral island]

async def toggle_url(ctx, setting: Option(bool, choices=[True, False])```

this is the context im trying to do it in, but im getting invalid syntax error, any thoughts?

[lime lichen]

whats the full traceback?

[umbral island]

no error as i havent run it yet because i can already tell it wont work

[lime lichen]

you are missing an end parenthasee

and a colon..

and indenting

[umbral island]

jesus..

im must be tired af

[lime lichen]

this is the best i can do when i see it

@DaveMod.command(description = "Toggles the UrlBlocker")
async def toggle_url(ctx, setting : Option(bool, choices = [True, False])):
    await ctx.respond(setting)

[umbral island]

i think i just need to sleep now. That fixed my issue ofc, thank you

[lime lichen]

sure

night

[umbral island]

lol

night

[lime lichen]

anyone know why my on_ready event keeps getting called? it happens maybe once a day (i try to host my bot 24/7) and its rather frustrating as members intent is enabled and sometimes it just wont respond

[copper dew]

this may explain why (taken from the docs):

This function is not guaranteed to be the first event called. Likewise, this function is not guaranteed to only be called once. This library implements reconnection logic and thus will end up calling this event whenever a RESUME request fails.

[lime lichen]

alright

[undone smelt]

Any idea to get pylance to chill? ive checked the source, the types are all there and correct. I have no idea why this happens

[prisma flicker]

if it's a bool there's no reason to use choices (also, I'm pretty sure you can't)

[prisma flicker]

you're missing a closing parenthesis

[umbral island]

i figured it out, thank you

[rigid sable]

How do I do persistent views with pycord?

is it the same as discord.py 2.0

[errant crane]

Here's the persistent example.

[rigid sable]

Does anyone know how to set up persistent views without OOP?

[loud holly]

Check out the guides

I believe its bot.add_view(persistent class)

In the on ready function I believe, just woke up so yeah

[round rivet]

good luck

[waxen whale]

Use oop period

[bleak cloud]

I tried to run my bot on Ubuntu VPS, but it gave me RuntimeError: PyNaCl library needed in order to use voice
So I checked the doc and it says I can install voice dependenses with this command: apt install libffi-dev libnacl-dev python3-dev
I ran it and installed it successfully, but I still get the same error.
What should I check?

[prisma flicker]

did you install it with pip?

[bleak cloud]

you mean the dependences?

[prisma flicker]

actually nvm

do you have opus?

[bleak cloud]

what is it?

i've heard of it

[prisma flicker]

a dependency for pynacl

https://guide.pycord.dev/voice/

[bleak cloud]

how can I check if I have one?
It seems I have one installed

[amber shale]

is lavalink light? i have a vm in azure with 1 core, 1 gb ram and 60 gb storage

in that i host my bot (running ubuntu 22.04)

[obsidian cargo]

If i am overriding the on_interaction() event, do I need to invoke the process_application_commands() coroutine as well? Because I have override it without invoking the coroutine, and all the commands work correctly.

[cyan quail]

well yeah, but if your commands are still working it sounds like you didn't actually override it

because that's the only place in the library where process_application_commands is used
https://github.com/Pycord-Development/pycord/blob/master/discord/bot.py#L1057-L1058

[errant crane]

discord/bot.py lines 1057 to 1058

async def on_interaction(self, interaction):
    await self.process_application_commands(interaction)```

[obsidian cargo]

I've done this:

@commands.Cog.listener()
async def on_interaction(self, interaction):
    #Some code here

[cyan quail]

that's not overriding, that's an additional listener

so the original method still remains

[obsidian cargo]

oh, that makes sense. Then I don't really need to override it for anything

Then, how would I override it?

[cyan quail]

you'd override it in the main bot file with @bot.event if you didn't subclass

[obsidian cargo]

ok, thx

[fervent cradle]

Hey, I am sending two help menu messages with the same view, after sending the second one if I press a button on the first message the corresponding callback of the second view object gets called, why doesn't the first view call its own callbacks and instead the callbacks of the second view? I am confused please help

[prisma flicker]

because you're sending both with the same view...

make a new view if you want them to be different

[fervent cradle]

but can't I create two intances of this view instead?

[prisma flicker]

sure you can

[fervent cradle]

why does it then always call the callbacks of the second instance even if I click on the buttons of the view which should be the first instance

[prisma flicker]

I only see you sending one message with one view

so I'm confused on your issue

[fervent cradle]

yeah sorry I didn't speak clearly there, this is a slash command and if I execute it twice

What I would expect is, that the view of the first message would callback callbacks of its own instance, but I have noticed that it always calls the callbacks of the newest instance (in this case second message) and I don't fully understand why

[prisma flicker]

why are you setting view.message?

you can just get the message in the callback from interaction.message

[fervent cradle]

oh my bad

sadly that doesn't fix my issue tho

[prisma flicker]

can you send your view code

?tag codeblock

[obtuse junco]

Please put your code in a code block:
```py
Here is your Code
```

That makes reading code in Discord a lot easier:

print("This is an example.")

[fervent cradle]

not sure if that helps but I print out the view.id when I send the message first that are the two ids on top and they are two different views but then I react to a button on the first view and a button on the second view and I print the view.id in the callback and it only calls the second instance

[fervent cradle]

sure

where were you using self.message before?

to delete the message with the X button but I changed it

do you have any idea what could cause the problem?

Hi, does someone know how to remove only the file from a message sent by a bot?

[cyan quail]

edit message with attachments=[]

In attachments.0: Attachment data not found

[night warren]

Hi, is there a way of restricting a slash command to a role or to exclude a role from it?

[cyan quail]

can you try interaction.edit_original_message instead

[cyan quail]

only from guild settings > integrations

hm

[topaz rune]

I never use webhook on my code

async def piece_callback(self, interaction):
                if interaction.custom_id == 'Back':
                    await interaction.message.edit(view=chess_class.type_piece(self.pieces,self.id))
                else:
                    self.pieces[self.id][2] = interaction.custom_id

                    piece = self.get_piece(self.pieces[self.id][2],self.id)
                    size = (100,100)
                    case = Image.open("chess/case_poss.png")
                    case = case.resize(size, Image.ANTIALIAS)
                    background = Image.open("chess/echequier_base.png")
                    for y in range(8):
                        for x in range(8):
                            if piece.move_possible([y,x]):
                                print([x,y])
                                #On peut mettre la piece
                                background.paste(case,((x)*100,(y)*100), case)
                    background.save('chess/echequier_base.png',"PNG")
                    path = 'chess/echequier_base.png'
                    await interaction.edit_original_message(attachments=[])
                    await interaction.message.edit(file=discord.File(path))

[cyan quail]

well interactions are webhooks

oh you didn't respond

hold on lemme test something, im fairly sure you can do the bottom two lines in a single line

[topaz rune]

ok I found the problem, it works if I only edit the message once, like this:

await interaction.message.edit(attachments=[],file=discord.File(path))

[topaz rune]

exactly

[cyan quail]

yeah

[topaz rune]

well

[cyan quail]

also at the top there

[topaz rune]

thanks buddy for your help

[cyan quail]

you should be doing interaction.response.edit_message

unless you're already responding somewhere else in the callback

[topaz rune]

what will it change?

[cyan quail]

all interactions need to properly be responded to via interaction.response

just once

so your first message edit should be response.edit_message instead of message.edit

[topaz rune]

got it

thanks

[cerulean yacht]

how to make a command that creates embed

what would be best option (i want it to be customizable

like any num of field

[rare ice]

[cerulean yacht]

i mean let user create it

using a command

*slash command

[rare ice]

That’s something you have to do. I have a system like that and I use buttons and modals so they can set the values themselves. It’s as a simple as having an embed and editing it depending on what modal they submit.

[cerulean yacht]

can i see it?

ok inviting ur bot

[rare ice]

I-

[rare ice]

No

#help-rules Rule 4

[cyan quail]

someone over in #creations posted their embed maker function #creations message

[cerulean yacht]

i dont get it 😅

[cerulean yacht]

i dont need code, just need a good way to get input from user

[cyan quail]

i mean

command options....?

[cerulean yacht]

hard for users

i like his method so going to use it

thanks vNziie--

[rare ice]

Mhm

[cerulean yacht]

i assume u misunderstood and thought i am asking for code 😅, sorry i have problems in communication

[fair crescent]

im using my bot to manipulate files.

i want to make a select ui to select file and do some operations like delete or rename them... nelo already helped me to do that.

But i noticed something... if i do a class for this view in a separate file, the class is inicializated when the bot starts running, so i cant see the file change

@discord.ui.select( 
            placeholder = "Seleccionar presets",
            min_values = 1,
            options = os.listdir() # <---- 
        )

im trying to give the list as a parameter, but i cant find a proper way to do it, since i cant use self.varname inside the decorator

[radiant nebula]

Hi guys. How do I make a command that can only be performed by people with a certain role?

[fair crescent]

ctx.author.roles gives you the role list iirc

[rare ice]

@commands.has_role(roleid)

[radiant nebula]

discord.ext.commands.errors.MissingAnyRole: You are missing at least one of the required roles: '799691331735126087' or '979021006033272894'

Why?

[rare ice]

well read the error, you need at least one of the required roles

make sure you're in one of those roles

[night warren]

what difference is there between discord.Bot and commands.Bot? Can I use both prefixed commands and slash commands with commands.Bot?

[cyan quail]

yep

[fervent cradle]

Help, on my pc it works but on VPS it doesn't

  File "/home/container/main.py", line 230, in <module>
    @bot.slash_command(guild_ids=[settings["guildID"]], name="whitelist", description="Whitelist a person to use the bot.")
AttributeError: 'Bot' object has no attribute 'slash_command'```

i have this in main.py

from discord.ext.commands import Bot

bot = Bot(command_prefix='$', activity=activity, status=discord.Status.online, intents=discord.Intents.all())```

[cyan quail]

you're on an old version, upgrade to latest

[fervent cradle]

how do i do that on vps? well not vps i only have hosting and panel

[cyan quail]

note your vps needs python 3.8 or newer, if it's on 3.7 or below then it won't be able to update to v2

[fervent cradle]

Is it possible to make an embed look like the embed the automod uses

[cerulean elbow]

hello, is anyone good at oop?

[cyan quail]

maybe it has a package manager on the panel?

or a requirements.txt file

[fervent cradle]

yep it installs packages from requirements.txt file

it has 3.9 python installed on it

[iron halo]

why does ctx.author.avatar.url sometimes give AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'url'
surely everyone has a profile picture

[tiny wagon]

how can i make a slash subcommand available to admins only, (disable them for others)

[cyan quail]

add py-cord==2.1.1 there

[cyan quail]

don't think so

[cyan quail]

nope, if you haven't set a profile picture it returns None

use display_avatar instead

though note that will also use guild-specific profile pictures instead of global

[fervent cradle]

that didn't fix it :/

[cyan quail]

you can't set permissions for individual subcommands, it has to be for the entire group

well discord-sided anyway, you can always use internal @commands.checks decorators

[tiny wagon]

can i set perms at subgroup level, i have made level 3 sub commands, like
/a b c
/a b d

[cyan quail]

don't think so no

if it doesn't appear separately in guild settings > integrations then it won't work because discord technically treats subcommands as options, only top level commands are truly considered commands

[tiny wagon]

so it will raise appliication invoke error if check not satisfied?

[cyan quail]

it raises CheckFailure

see https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#checks

[tiny wagon]

i wonder they still work with app commands

[cyan quail]

yep

[iron halo]

ah ok ty

[cyan quail]

they can't hide them from the ui, but they do still work

[tiny wagon]

so is there like seperate error handler for only one command, like prefixed commands, @command_name.error

[cyan quail]

it should work the same with application commands yes

[tiny wagon]

so um in check i should use ctx.guild.me or smth?

[cyan quail]

that would get the bot's member

[fervent cradle]

[cyan quail]

what's your console saying when starting up

[tiny wagon]

ok ty lemme try it out

[cyan quail]

like does it go through installing or

[fervent cradle]

yes

[cyan quail]

so what does it say for py-cord

[fervent cradle]

requirement already satisfied

[cyan quail]

same error?

[fervent cradle]

yes still the AttributeError

[cyan quail]

can you print(discord.__version__) somewhere in your bot file

[fervent cradle]

yes

2.0.1

[cyan quail]

bruh

that should still work...?

just checking, you haven't installed another discord library right

[fervent cradle]

i guess not

[empty kraken]

Hey guys, How can i run a function from another file with only knowing relative path? (without hard coded import)
just like how py-cord adds cog classes

[cyan quail]

when importing, use a leading . to move up one folder

you can see this in quite a few places in the lib, e.g. https://github.com/Pycord-Development/pycord/blob/master/discord/ui/view.py#L53-L54

[errant crane]

discord/ui/view.py lines 53 to 54

from ..components import _component_factory
from .item import Item, ItemCallbackType```

[cyan quail]

do you perhaps have multiple install locations for pip packages?

it looks like your bot is using another one that your console isn't using

[fervent cradle]

I do have "additional python packages" in the panel settings but i don't use it

i will delete .local and .cache files and try again

[cyan quail]

i wouldn't recommend deleting ALL of that

if im not mistaken, .local is the folder it SHOULD be using

[fervent cradle]

It'll just download the dependencies again

[cyan quail]

fair enough

[fervent cradle]

okay uhhh that worked lol

@cyan quail thank you very much

my problem has been resolved

[cyan quail]

allgood

[empty kraken]

that is not what i want (also it is not related to discord too). i am making a project where i have something like this: src/extensions/<some name>/main.py. i want to loop every extension in extensions folder and run a function from main.py

so i cant import it hard coded

i need to use reflection tho but i never tried reflection in python.

[cyan quail]

then perhaps you want to use the os module to iterate through the folder?

[empty kraken]

yes

[cyan quail]

something like py for root, folders, files in os.walk("src/extensions")

may be worth reading through more of the os module https://docs.python.org/3/library/os.html#os.walk

but that for loop should work

[empty kraken]

after some search, i found what i wanted:

for folder in listdir("extensions"):
    for file in list(filter(lambda f: f[-3:] == ".py", listdir("extensions/"+folder))):
        print(f"extensions.{folder}.{file[:-3]}")
        mainFile = importlib.__import__(f"extensions.{folder}.{file[:-3]}")
        setup = getattr(getattr(getattr(mainFile, folder), file[:-3]), "loadApp")

        setup()

[cyan quail]

nice

[empty kraken]

this might not be best way, but it works

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[worn void]

I'm trying to use replit to share code with another dev and I can't import pycord for some reason

[fervent cradle]

is there a way to get the bot's avatar url with ctx?

[cyan quail]

ctx.me for the bot's member

[fervent cradle]

got it thanks

[fervent cradle]

how can i make a "hidden" slash command?

so the command interaction wont show for everyone

[night warren]

class MyHelp(commands.HelpCommand):
    def get_command_signature(self, command):  # to get the command (Ex. "-ban")
        return '%s%s' % (self.clean_prefix, command.qualified_name)```

AttributeError: 'MyHelp' object has no attribute 'clean_prefix'

[grizzled sentinel]

empherial=True as a kwarg in the send function.

[fervent cradle]

discord.errors.ApplicationCommandInvokeError: Application Command raised an exception: TypeError: send_message() got an unexpected keyword argument 'empherial

huh

[grizzled sentinel]

You need to get your bot instance. Often called bot or client

[grizzled sentinel]

I think I spelled it wrong
Try ephemeral
its a hard word to spell

[fervent cradle]

its ephemeral

thx

[night warren]

Bot object has no attribute ‘clean_prefix’

[grizzled sentinel]

Thought that was for something else this might be what you are looking for?

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/ext/commands/api.html?highlight=clean_prefix#discord.ext.commands.Bot.command_prefix

[night warren]

now I don't get errors but

I need a way of fetching the prefix in my subclassed help command

before self.clean_prefix used to work

solved

it is self.context.clean_prefix

[fervent cradle]

also does anyone know if i can include attachments in command replies?

[errant crane]

Tag Search | persistent view

[cyan quail]

yes

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api.html#discord.abc.Messageable.send

[lean marten]

Is it possible to make slash commands only visible to me? (owner of bot)

[fervent cradle]

try this maybe?

idk if its what you mean

[cyan quail]

only possible via guild settings > integrations

[lean marten]

so not possible?

[cyan quail]

not via the bot, no

[rare ice]

It is, not with the bot

[lean marten]

..

[silver moat]

yeah, it is with oauth2

[cyan quail]

no one is authenticating their bot with oauth2

[lean marten]

no I mean e.g. commands to add premium to a user

yk

[silver moat]

global and add checks

[cyan quail]

you can only do internal checks via the bot (see https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#checks)

[lean marten]

doesnt that look b a d ?

[silver moat]

no

[cyan quail]

you can hide by specific permissions (e.g. administrator) but that's about it

[silver moat]

it's actually better from a marketing perspective because it shows your users than premium features exist

[cyan quail]

though discord is adding built in support for bot subscriptions/premiums so maybe you'll see it in the future

[lean marten]

ok

And how can I make it only visible to admin ?

@default_permissions or what was it?

[cyan quail]

see https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api.html#command-permission-decorators

yeah @discord.default_permissions()

[lean marten]

ty

[cyan quail]

but note any other guild admins can override these

[lean marten]

uh whut

How?

[cyan quail]

from guild settings

[lean marten]

ahh

Alr ty

[cyan quail]

as per the docs

These permissions can be updated by server administrators per-guild. As such, these are only “defaults”, as the name suggests. If you want to make sure that a user always has the specified permissions regardless, you should use an internal check such as has_permissions().

[lean marten]

ig i make them visible for everyone then..

[cyan quail]

so basically use default_permissions combined with the checks from ext.commands if you truly want to keep commands limited

[lean marten]

And how can I check if command executer is me?

the bot dev

[cyan quail]

assuming you imported (from discord.ext import commands), use @commands.is_owner()

[lean marten]

works with slash commands too?

[cyan quail]

there are various other checks you can use at https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#checks, and you can also make custom checks

yep, it won't hide them but it still works

[lean marten]

alr

[cyan quail]

all check decorators from prefix commands also work with slash commands

[lean marten]

ty

[cyan quail]

allgood

[fervent cradle]

how do i use this discord.file thing

it sends an empty file :Cccc

[cyan quail]

uhh

you used it correctly

which means there's a problem with how you wrote the file above

[fervent cradle]

ohhh

ok

i added printing number of bytes in that file

and it kinda works

but still, there are 0 bytes showing on discord

[round rivet]

try seeking to 0 (rv.seek(0))

[rigid sable]

what are the other attributes for slash command interactions

[silver moat]

?

you mean https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api.html#applicationcontext ?

[little hill]

When do you guys find it necessary to use max_concurrency?

[cyan quail]

it really depends, it's rather niche but it does have its use cases when you can find them

one place i use them is in step-by-step commands where the user may spend some time going through the command's instructions and you don't want them to start another instance of the command

[little hill]

yeah that makes sense

Does Discord do a form of ratelimiting on a user's end to prevent them from spamming commands? It kinda looks like it

[cyan quail]

yeah

[little hill]

cool, means that we don't need to do that on our end

[cyan quail]

in general the library also already handles all ratelimits it can

though you may find internal cooldowns are still worth implementing

[silver moat]

and interactions have their own ratelimit

so that solves some problems

[little hill]

One use case I can see is a command that involves creating/deleting webhooks

or a call to an external api

[stiff fiber]

Maybe a dumb question but is there any way to force emojis as slash command arguments?

[cyan quail]

you can use the discord.Emoji type, but it won't force it

(i think)

[stiff fiber]

that's sort of what I guessed
I'll just try it out and see what happens 🙃

[full basin]

Is it possible to create threads on ephemeral messages?

[raven island]

I know there is a async def on_guild_join event. is there an event for when the bot leaves a server that gets triggered?

[young bone]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api.html?highlight=on_guild#discord.on_guild_remove

[raven island]

ah was looking at the wrong remove. Thanks!

[young bone]

o/

[cyan quail]

no

you could just create a thread without an existing message

[full basin]

Yeah. But the "X has created a thread" messahe pops up and its annoying

[cyan quail]

maybe delete it right after?

or make it a private thread, then unprivate it

ah, i guess you need lvl2 for private so that's not always viable

[silver moat]

full traceback thanks

[round rivet]

no it isn't

but basically

you're checking if a list is inside a string

which can't be done

[undone smelt]

whats this "try my commands" business

[round rivet]

shows your most used commands

[tiny wagon]

how can i change the style of other buttons in a view from callback of one button

class HelpButtons(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        self.choice = "main"

    @button(label="Raffles", style=ButtonStyle.blurple)
    async def raffle_callback(self, buttons, interaction):
        embed = Embed(title="embed 1", description="embed 1")
        buttons.style = ButtonStyle.green
        await interaction.response.edit_message(embed=embed, view=self)

    @button(label="Auctions", style=ButtonStyle.blurple)
    async def auctions_callback(self, buttons, interaction):
        embed = Embed(title="embed 2", description="embed 2")
        buttons.style = ButtonStyle.green
        await interaction.response.edit_message(embed=embed, view=self)

    @button(label="HP | IV Checker", style=ButtonStyle.blurple)
    async def info_callback(self, buttons, interaction):
        embed = Embed(title="embed 3", description="embed 3")
        buttons.style = ButtonStyle.green
        await interaction.response.edit_message(embed=embed, view=self)

when i press a button, the button changes to green, but other buttons should be changed back to blurple

[fervent cradle]

How do I add slash command parameter description?

[tiny wagon]

add a kwarg in decorator, description=""

[fervent cradle]

It says "none type is not callable" now

Nvm

It's my issue

[leaden delta]

hey. How can I make my task execute every sunday?

[winged kernel]

After sending a File object, will there will a significant issue if I do not close it?

[fervent cradle]

async def callback(interaction):

                l_button.callback = l_callback
                await interaction.response.edit_message(embed=admin_embed, view=view)

in l_callback instead of the message getting editted to something i want, the bot just posts a new message

i tried using interaction.edit_original_message but that doesnt work

[calm plume]

hey um i have an issue

where i try to make a new command

and it doesn't load

@commands.cooldown(1, 5, commands.BucketType.user)
@bot.command(name = "test", description="desc")
async def test(ctx: discord.ApplicationContext):    
    #stuff

[full basin]

Access other buttons with self.children

[calm plume]

pls someone?

[tiny wagon]

ok so loop through self.chilren which will return a Button object?

[full basin]

All of them?...

[tiny wagon]

the single element from the list

[tiny wagon]

yes i want to do for all of them

[fervent cradle]

anyone ;___;

[cyan quail]

i think someone posted a possible solution right below

[calm plume]

anybody?

[cyan quail]

specifically this command doesn't load? can you show the file

[calm plume]

sure

its large

[cyan quail]

meh go for it

[calm plume]

import discord, sqlite3, openai, urllib, ttictoc, termcolor, datetimeimport json, httpx
from unidecode  import unidecode
from Scripts import Functionsfrom discord.ext 
import commands

bot = commands.Bot(intents = discord.Intents.all())


@commands.cooldown(1, 5, commands.BucketType.user)
@bot.command(name = "test", description="Desc")
async def test(ctx: discord.ApplicationContext):
    await ctx.guild.create_category(name = "Category")




@bot.event
async def on_ready():
    print(f'Bot is Activated at Time {termcolor.colored(text = str(datetime.datetime.now()), attrs = ["bold"])} With The Time Of Execution Taking About {ttictoc.toc()}')


@bot.event
async def on_message(message: discord.Message):
   # Stuff

bot.run(token)

[cyan quail]

do you have any other events?

[calm plume]

nope

thats those 2 only

the weird thing is

[cyan quail]

i guess it might be taking time to sync...? what if you set guild_ids inside the command decorator

[calm plume]

but il maybe need to configure it globally

[cyan quail]

yeah but just for testing

[calm plume]

ok

[cyan quail]

you can remove guild_ids after, but it;ll still take time to sync

[calm plume]

reran the bot

and when i do /

shows nothing again

same when i go to integrations

[cyan quail]

do you always use the @bot.command decorator

oh wait

lol

if it's commands.Bot, bot.command is a prefix command

you're looking for bot.slash_command

[calm plume]

hmm okay let me check

there u go that solved the issue

i was copy pasting some old code

so that was the cause of it

[night warren]

Any fix?

[full basin]

You're indenting the function

[rocky stump]

How can I add per-user cooldowns to buttons? I am familiar with @commands.cooldown(1, 30, commands.BucketType.user) but this is for commands. Will I have to implement my own type of cooldown using a dictionary or so?

[cyan quail]

yep, button cooldowns aren't build in

[rocky stump]

Sure. Would love it if they were 😄 Not a priority I suppose

[gleaming falcon]

I’m a fan of aiocron https://github.com/gawel/aiocron.

[undone smelt]

Is this a setting I can tick in the developer portal?

[fervent cradle]

Why pycord said in @bridge.bridge_command this to me?

Expected type '_SpecialForm', got 'str' instead

[proud pagoda]

Just pass it into the _init_

So put bedingungen in between the parentheses when you create an instance of the view

Wdym

Send more code

Oh wait NVM where are you storing the database2 instance?

[fervent cradle]

how can i wait untill i get some values from dropdown in view?

and then proceed

[proud pagoda]

Where is bedingungen stored?

Well since you need to pass in bedingungen, add it as an attribute to the bot wherever you define it so you can access it anywhere

[fervent cradle]

du hast kein self.bedingungen im code

beim __init__()

[proud pagoda]

So smthn like this:

bedingungen = Someclass()
bot.smthn = bedingungen

[fervent cradle]

du hast ein fehler

    self.bot.add_view(gewinnspiel_buttons(self.bedingungen))
AttributeError: 'database2' object has no attribute 'bedingungen' 

dein class hat kein self.bedingungen

[proud pagoda]

No, do it wherever you define bedingungen

[fervent cradle]

woher bekommst du die bedingungen

[proud pagoda]

And then you can access it as a bot attribute anywhere

[fervent cradle]

ich seh hier nix

[fervent cradle]

i dont think thats the issue

[fervent cradle]

.

[proud pagoda]

Wait what

[fervent cradle]

Is it just me or is discord having some sort of issue?
Commands are not getting updated (I have guild_ids=)

                )   
                await paginator.respond(ctx.interaction)

hey guys so i almost gifured out everything, but the problem is the paginator sends 2 whole embeds which i dont want, i want the messages to get editted

can someone tell me how i can do that?

this is a callback for a select menu btw

[loud holly]

I guess it's await message.edit_message(...) though I might be wrong since idk how to use paginator, for me it's confusing

[cyan quail]

you made a single Page object with multiple embeds, not multiple Page objects with an embed each

also that page section is stupidly hard to read, i'd recommend defining the embeds somewhere else so you can actually comprehend the code...

[fervent cradle]

oh ok, and how do i edit the original message rather than the paginator sending a new message?

[cyan quail]

use paginator.edit https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/ext/pages/#discord.ext.pages.Paginator.edit

but you still have to respond to the interaction separately

[fervent cradle]

what should i put for the message part?

[cyan quail]

well it kinda tells you

the message you want to edit

[dry echo]

does channel.edit(overwrites) rewrite all perms of this channel or only for the args i pass?

[cyan quail]

all

[dry echo]

[fervent cradle]

i want to edit the original message

[cyan quail]

then pass it in...?

[fervent cradle]

but unable to do it

[fervent cradle]

but how?

its kinda complicated

[cyan quail]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api.html#interaction

[fervent cradle]

in the last part i am using pagination, and to edit i need to pass the message, which i have 0 idea on how to get the original message

[fervent cradle]

interaction.original_message() just throws the error: unknown webhook

[cyan quail]

msg = ctx.message
await paginator.edit(message=msg)```is this not working?

[fervent cradle]

yes

i tried with ctx.message too

[cyan quail]

are you getting an error or

[loud holly]

so I'm not able to make this command only one server unless I pass the debug guilds in the bot variable, however I only want it to show in 1 server only, any suggestions on how to do this?

I want only this command in 1 server, and the rest of the commands globally

[cyan quail]

you don't need debug_guilds, you can set guild_ids for specific commands

[loud holly]

I'll try once again

[loud holly]

thank you! I put it as guild_id instead of guild_ids that's why it didn't work

[cyan quail]

can you define view above callback, then try view.message?

if that fails, try interaction.message

[fervent cradle]

interaction.message did it, tysm

[loud holly]

discord.errors.Forbidden: 403 Forbidden (error code: 50001): Missing Access

I'm confused on what this error is, I have bot and application.commands enabled

I searched online and it says ^^ but I'm not exactly sure what application.build means either

[cyan quail]

for a guild_id you specified, either:

• your bot either doesn't have the applications.commands scope
• your bot isn't in the guild

[simple canopy]

read your error

[proud pagoda]

Quick question guys, if I don't have talking perms in a channel or I'm muted, will I still be able to edit my message?

[simple canopy]

no

[proud pagoda]

Alright, so the same carries over to bots right?

[simple canopy]

yes, i think

[proud pagoda]

Ok, thanks for your help

[uncut skiff]

My code to set the bot's status to streaming makes it say Playing

How can I fix this?

[prisma flicker]

as the error says, you can't do ctx.guild because there's no guild attribute on AutocompleteContext. so you'll have to get the guild id some other way, I bet the docs show you how to do that

[lean marten]

._.

[prisma flicker]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api.html?highlight=autocompletecontext#discord.AutocompleteContext

[lean marten]

Docs, show me how to do that

[prisma flicker]

good

[lean marten]

would be "interaction.guild.id" right?

[prisma flicker]

?tag tias

[obtuse junco]

https://pycord.dev/tias

[lean marten]

shut

:3

[fervent cradle]

does anyone know if it is possible for a slash command to have different names in different servers? Thanks in advance

[prisma flicker]

no, you would have to have different slash commands

but you could have one common method that they all call

the only way to have different names is to use localization

[fervent cradle]

the issue with the having multiple slash commands is that there is a limit of how many slash commands a bot can have right? What is localization?

[prisma flicker]

it's localizing the command name/options into different languages

[fervent cradle]

ah ok

thanks for the info

[prisma flicker]

there's a limit per guild yes

and then a limit of global commands

[undone smelt]

How would I use @is_owner() on a command within a cog? 🤔

[cyan quail]

like any other command

[undone smelt]

where do i import it from

[cyan quail]

ext.commands

[undone smelt]

tysm

[cyan quail]

if you've already imported commands, just do commands.is_owner

[undone smelt]

how do you type all that out so fast without autocomplete

[cyan quail]

idk

[undone smelt]

how i can send messages if a check fails? like @discord.ext.commands.cooldow or @commands.is_owner

[silver moat]

on_command_error or on_application_command_error

[undone smelt]

arent those generic events?

[silver moat]

yeah and you can filter them according to what errors they raise

[undone smelt]

OH i see https://guide.pycord.dev/popular-topics/error-handling/

[near hollow]

Are there any good guides or information on clustering shards?

[prisma flicker]

have you tried using autoshardedbot?

[near hollow]

Doesn’t that just create shards? I thought it doesn’t have anything to do with clustering

[calm pewter]

Im taking a intro to programing class can anyone help me understand this lab its in python

[tiny wagon]

not able to get the id of a slash sub command from code and mention it

a = self.bot.get_application_command("a b", type=discord.SlashCommandGroup)

[lilac turret]

What text editor are you using?

[tiny wagon]

better use subclasses buttons

you can declare a variable to the Button object
button = discord.ui.Button()
button.callback= callback_function()

[tiny wagon]

try this way @bright shard

good way to handle buttons

in view param just add ButtonClassYouMade()

lol

nice game

real ban button in sea of button: squid games 💀

not able to get the id of a slash sub command from code and mention it
a = self.bot.get_application_command("a b", type=discord.SlashCommandGroup)

[topaz rune]

hi
can someone explain me how to load a file with bot.load_extension if the file is on another folder?

[cyan quail]

We don't have any official resources, but ultimately clusters are just groups of shards py shards = 8 cluster_1 = AutoShardedBot(..., shard_count=shards, shard_ids=[0, 1, 2, 3]) cluster_2 = AutoShardedBot(..., shard_count=shards, shard_ids=[4, 5, 6, 7])

maybe having an official shard manager would be nice, but i don't think there are any plans for it at the moment

there's a bit more to clustering such as rules that apply on larger scales, but that's the jist of it

e.g. all clusters must have an equal amount of shards

[cyan quail]

it's the same syntax as python imports

e.g. if your bot's root folder contains a cogs folder, you'd load "cogs.filename"

[near hollow]

Hmm alright thanks

[topaz rune]

Can we edit only one field of an embed?

[cyan quail]

? you can edit any fields

embed.fields is a list

[topaz rune]

I cant edit an embed?

[cyan quail]

why not

if you want to edit an embed from a message:

• get the message
• get message.embeds[i] where i is the index of the embed you're trying to edit
• edit its attributes
• send a new message/edit the existing message with the new embed

[topaz rune]

ok thanks

[vale prism]

I am getting ratelimited of discord several times a day

[fervent cradle]

than change your api calls

[rocky stump]

Is it possible for specific slash commands to be in certain guilds and not others. e.g use debug_guilds but for specific commands, not all

[vale prism]

could you elaborate?

[full basin]

#rules Do not crosspost.

[full basin]

The slash command decorator has the guild_ids= kwarg

[rocky stump]

Just what I need. Thanks

[fierce elm]

Trying to figure out how to keep state between a select view and a modal then to a database, what would be the best way to do that

[fervent cradle]

after switching from Windows to Mac, i've been getting an error where, when i interact with a button, i get an error. I have no clue how to fix it..

Traceback (most recent call last):

Hi, my on_message in my bot does absolutely nothing.

in fact, my bot literally doesnt launch

wait

nope, im just stupid

i havent made a bot in so long i forgot that you have to add the event decorator

[cyan quail]

reinstall, you managed to install a bugged build from master

[tiny wagon]

how to handle errors in slash sub commands?

@settings_auctions.error
    async def auction_settings_error(self, ctx, error):
        print(error)
        if isinstance(error, discord.CheckFailure):
            await ctx.respond("> You are missing **Administrator** permissions.", ephemeral=True)

[fervent cradle]

reinstall Python 3.10.6?

[tiny wagon]

its not working

[cyan quail]

no reinstall pycord

[cyan quail]

not sure if custom error handlers are fully supported on subcommands yet

[fervent cradle]

oh alright

[tiny wagon]

hmm

should i do a try catch error, as a check is failing

[cyan quail]

in the standard command error handler, you could check ctx.command.name and redirect it to your custom one instead

[tiny wagon]

@commands.has_guild_permissions(administrator=True)
@settings_auctions.command(description="configure auctions log channel")

[cyan quail]

checks should work fine

oh but put the check below the command decorator

[tiny wagon]

uhmm okay

didnt knew this matters

[cyan quail]

typically the command decorator should always be first

[tiny wagon]

but how will i handle the checkfailure 😅

[cyan quail]

wdym

[fervent cradle]

how'd i do that again? uninstall it

[cyan quail]

pip uninstall

or you can just try to install it again

[cyan quail]

you don't handle checkfailure inside the command because the error raises before the callback is called

[tiny wagon]

yeah

[cyan quail]

but since the custom error handler doesn't work, i recommended catching the command name/id/whatever in your global handler and then redirecting to your custom handler

like py if ctx.command.qualified_name == "settings auctioneer_role": await auction_settings_error(ctx, error)or however you need to call it

[tiny wagon]

oh um

[fervent cradle]

still got the same error

[tiny wagon]

either i can check in the code block itself?

[cyan quail]

that works too

[tiny wagon]

what the code snippet for it again 😓

[cyan quail]

for what

[tiny wagon]

for checking within the code if user has admin

ig ctx.guild.me?

oh me is for the bot

[cyan quail]

ctx.me yes

yeah

check member.guild_permissions.administrator

[tiny wagon]

hmm

[somber cloak]

it seems like if you do ctx.defer() without ephemeral=True then the response won't be ephemeral, even if you have ctx.respond(ephemeral=True) later on. is this true? is there a way to specify ephemerality only at the response stage?

[fervent cradle]

anything else i can do?

[tiny wagon]

the defer and response, both statements need to be ephemeral to work

[hybrid oasis]

hi friends -- is it possible to add a custom button to a paginator using the @discord.ui.button() decorator? (not a paginator button)

or maybe a different decorator i can't find?

my class if this helps (extends discord.ui.View)

the button decorator isn't adding the button and i think i missed something 😅

ahh i am silly, the decorator is inside the init oops

disregard me

[tardy kindle]

last time i used it was like a month or 2 back and this worked

[loud holly]

quick question, I presume animated emojis can't be used in buttons?

[tardy kindle]

i removed and my commands in cog dont work

last time this happened and like i added recursive it became okay now it shows error-

[loud holly]

nvm it can use animated emojis, just something wrong with my code

[proud mason]

how do i get interactions over http while still using pycord (or at least its models)

was thinking of using fastapi but my brain shattered for some reason

[cyan quail]

well you invite the bot with just applications.commands scope and not the bot scope

it'll work but you may well run into issues because the library wasn't built with http-only in mind

[proud mason]

oh hmm

[proud mason]

what am i going to specify as the interactions endpoint url tho

[shadow stratus]

it is possible to use localization on choices inside an option ?

[cyan quail]

you don't have to specify one if you're already connected to the gateway

[cyan quail]

possible when using OptionChoice, set name_localizations
https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api.html#optionchoice

[shadow stratus]

thx

[delicate jolt]

i've been told to not set the bot status

when startup

How am I supposed to do it

I'm using on_ready

[cyan quail]

specify it inside the bot object itself (status=...)

[delicate jolt]

Ah alright thanks

Can I use type or?

like watching

[cyan quail]

oh my mistake

status is for offline/online etc, should be using activity

[delicate jolt]

Yeah no worries haha I probably wasn't specific enough

Yes

[cyan quail]

it should be similar to how you use change_presence

[delicate jolt]

await bot.change_presence(activity=discord.Activity(name="You | 👀", type=3))

This is what I was using

In the on ready

[cyan quail]

yeah you can pass the activity object right into activity when you call the bot

e.g. bot = discord.Bot(..., activity=discord.Activity(...))

[delicate jolt]

Yeah

Thank you

[cyan quail]

allgood

[lean marten]

Is it possible to add a description to autocomplete elements?

[cyan quail]

no, but if im not mistaken Autocomplete supports using OptionChoices so you can set the name visible to the user and value separately

[surreal glade]

does anyone know how to make an automod system? i cannot find anything anywhere for some reason

maybe my computer is tweaking idk

[agile tartan]

What's your py-cord version

[agile tartan]

py-cord==2.1.1

it works on my laptop but not the hsting machine

i want to host it ,when requirments is then installed rom pip. i get this error from the host. but runs smooth on m computer

[full basin]

Show your requirements.txt

[agile tartan]

aiohttp==3.8.1
aiosignal==1.2.0

frozenlist==1.3.1
idna==3.3
multidict==6.0.2
py-cord==2.1.1
yarl==1.8.1

[full basin]

you have discord.py

[agile tartan]

do i remove it?

i want to use pycord for specfic reasons

i just copied paste, from pip freeze nd added to requirments.txt

@full basin

without discord.py i cant do some stuff

[cyan quail]

pycord is a fork of discord.py; they are intended to be used independently, not together

[agile tartan]

ok now i uninstalled discord.py . but my code isnt working anymore

[cyan quail]

well yeah, they have some differences so regardless of which one you choose to stick with you're gonna have to make changes

also you'd need to reinstall py-cord

[agile tartan]

  File "C:\Users\LG\dev\main.py", line 1, in <module>
    from discord.ui import Button, View
ImportError: cannot import name 'Button' from 'discord.ui' (unknown location)
``` for example

[cyan quail]

again, reinstall py-cord

[agile tartan]

i want to stick with pycord

[agile tartan]

ok

how do i install pycord

via pip or github?

[cyan quail]

either works

though you could do github right now since i think we're about to release 2.1.2 or 2.1.3 something like that

[agile tartan]

which one has the edit_original_response instead of message

ok

[cyan quail]

dpy

[agile tartan]

ah so i was smashing things together

no wonder. but worked smoothly on my laptop, was when i hosted gave problem

[cyan quail]

pycord is soon going to have edit_original_response, but it will not remove edit_original_message

[agile tartan]

ok

this is the ling right? https://github.com/Pycord-Development/pycord

[cyan quail]

mhm

[agile tartan]

alright ill pip install the exact link hopeully works

by that i mean the error

ok i installed it

i installed the latet

works perfectly on laptop

Thanks it worked

[cyan quail]

allgood

[agile tartan]

I'm beginning to like pycord

[worn void]

Why is my role check not working?

    if role in ctx.author.roles():
TypeError: 'list' object is not callable

role is a role object btw

[full basin]

"List object is not callable"

ctx.author.roles**()**

[worn void]

yeah i found it

theres no ()

i though roles was a function

[agile tartan]

i set a button but when my user doesn't interact for some time. And hits the interact button it says interaction failed. Why's that?

Also why do people dislike pycord

[full basin]

Because interactions have a default timeout.

[agile tartan]

How do i change that?

[full basin]

timeout kwarg

[agile tartan]

Set it to None?

[full basin]

If you want it to never expire (unless you restart the bot), sure.

[worn void]

How can I check the time since a user created their account? I can't figure out how to format the time so it's the time since 'member.created_at'

[agile tartan]

Where is the kwargs

[full basin]

Init.

[full basin]

It returns a datetime.datetime object iirc

You can always checks the docs

[umbral island]

Flip that around. if ctx.author.role in role since role is the list that you are searching for roles in

[umbral island]

Wow sorry, had bad WiFi, that was a super slow response and also not the answer 👍

[worn void]

no lmfao... role is a role object not a list.. ctx.author.roles is a list though

[umbral island]

I’m tired 😅

[spice oyster]

Hello! Is it possible to make a global listener for Buttons being pressed?
My previous libraries allowed it but after migrating to Pycord I'm a bit lost.

[young bone]

What was your previous libraries?

[spice oyster]

"discord_slash", which has this:

@commands.Cog.listener()
async def on_component(

[tiny wagon]

search for discord events in dev docs

there might be any event like" on_button_interaction or smth

then create a listener on its name

[full basin]

"discord.Guild.create_sticker" You need an actual Guild object.

[full basin]

on_interaction

Just check what the interaction is

[spice oyster]

Thank you both! I will try with that.

[topaz rune]

I tried to create new roles but I can't. IDK how to say that but it won't work
At the beginning I had this code :

#players_in_game is a list of member (at least 2)
guild = bot.guilds[0]
roles = [await guild.create_role(name=f'LG - {user.name}') for user in players_in_game]

But it didn't work so I 'split' it and put some print to see were the problem is

guild = bot.guilds[0]
print(players_in_game)
print(guild.name)
roles = []
for user in players_in_game:
  role = await guild.create_role(name='LG - ' + str({user.name}))
  roles.append(role)
  print(role)
print(roles)

So the prints work until the 'print(role)'. It just don't print anything and by the things that I can see on my discord server, like the roles or the channels not created, I can say that it seems like it doesn't do the stuff after it start 'create role'.
Can anyone tell me what is the problem ??

[spice oyster]

It works but I can't get "context" anywhere. Any ideas to get it?
I would prefer not to rewrite the whole function.

[full basin]

You dont

You only get interaction

[topaz rune]

still have this problem btw

[cyan quail]

how many players_in_game are there

[topaz rune]

we try with 1

[dawn escarp]

2

[topaz rune]

2**

[cyan quail]

you might be getting ratelimited

[topaz rune]

even if we delete the role when we finish use them? we actually have 81 roles

[cyan quail]

but how many times has it actually created

[dawn escarp]

lots

[topaz rune]

but everytime got deleted

[cyan quail]

deletion is irrelevant

[dawn escarp]

we tried things and fight some bugs...

[cyan quail]

some threads from 2 years ago suggest that it's 1000 edits per 24 hours

not sure if that's changed

[topaz rune]

we've done sooo much less than this]

[dawn escarp]

for today at least

[cyan quail]

do you not get anything in the console?

[dawn escarp]

nope

[topaz rune]

and thats the problem

[cyan quail]

the bot stops working? or

[dawn escarp]

no it just don't do the code

[cyan quail]

right before the for-loop, can you print(players_in_game)

[topaz rune]

like the bot is still up and can still be usedm but not for this

[<Member id=378661428061667329 name='Smiath' discriminator='1051' bot=False nick='「 🜲 ┆ SMIΛTH 」' g uild=<Guild id=923316085950918656 name='Café du coin ☕' shard_id=0 chunked=True member_count=50>>, <Member id=31073220
2570678272 name='VullWen' discriminator='0667' bot=False nick='Célian | VullWen' guild=<Guild id=923316085950918656 name='Café du coin ☕' shard_id=0 chunked=True member_count=50>>]

just us

[dawn escarp]

just the two of us

[cyan quail]

and printing directly above/below create_role inside the loop?

[dawn escarp]

it prints, but then when it start do to the create_role just once, it stop to do the rest of the code

[topaz rune]

and it only stop forn the create_role

[dawn escarp]

and so the loop

[cyan quail]

what about py try: await guild.create_role(...) except Exception as e: print(e)

[dawn escarp]

nothing on the concole

[topaz rune]

still absolutely nothing

[cyan quail]

that's... very odd

[topaz rune]

yeap

[cyan quail]

what about py try: role = await guild.create_role(...) except Exception as e: print(e) else: print(role) finally: print(...) # anything idk

[topaz rune]

if I add print(bot.is_ws_ratelimited()), console return False

[cyan quail]

role = **

[dawn escarp]

still nothing

[topaz rune]

still nothing on the console

[cyan quail]

yeah i have no clue

[topaz rune]

discord suck

😦

[cyan quail]

i don't think create_role can just stop like that
