Basic Pycord Help (Quick Questions Only)

[fervent cradle]

then delete the rsponse

or either make ephemeral= True to make it so that only one user sees it and that is the original author of the command

[fierce elm]

rather I'm stupid
https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api.html#discord.ui.View.on_timeout

rtfm

[fervent cradle]

isn't there a way by which I can specify that I only need 2 fields in one line? because when ever I do it I get 3 in one line

[spice oyster]

Try using inline = False for the last one and the opposite for the others.

[fervent cradle]

oh wait

got an idea

[bitter gull]

does anyone know how to load/unload cog extensions? because I cannot get the slash commands to go on and off... xd

[fervent cradle]

discord.errors.ApplicationCommandInvokeError: Application Command raised an exception: AttributeError: 'Interaction' object has no attribute 'edit'

    msg = await ctx.respond("...")
    await asyncio.sleep(2)
    await msg.edit(content = f"...")```

is this issue fixed in v2.2.0
https://github.com/Pycord-Development/pycord/issues/1630

[spice oyster]

Yes.

[fervent cradle]

Hey!

    @commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_message(self, ctx):
        if ctx.author.bot:
            return
        # Check if message author is self
        if ctx.author == self.bot.user:
            return

        # Check if message is in DMs
        if ctx.guild is None:
            await ctx.channel.send('Message author: ' + ctx.author.name)
            await ctx.channel.send(
                "**Tere!** Mina olen jumal. **Palun vastake `jah`, kui soovite saada kodanikuks.**")
            reply = await self.bot.wait_for('message', check=lambda message: message.author == ctx.author)
            if reply.content == "jah":
                await ctx.channel.send(
                    "**Palun saatke pilt oma Tallinna Reaalkooli õpilaspiletist. Võite oma isikukoodi ära blurrida, kui soovite.**")
            else:  # If reply is not "jah"
                await ctx.channel.send(
                    "**Okei, kahju. Kas te teadsite, et 98% lahedatest inimestest on juba kodanikud? Ja sina kindlasti seal 2% seas ei ole.**")```

This would retrigger the wait_for every time a message is sent.
What should I do?

I want basically any message in the dms to be a trigger for the wait_for

[fervent cradle]

how do you delete a response sent by the bot

[spice oyster]

I do it by using this trick, after saving the message_id while sending the response.

message = [discord.Object(id = message_id)]
await channel.delete_messages(message)

If you have the Message object already, you don't need the first line.

[fervent cradle]

nice

[spice oyster]

Actually, I need this. How do I get the Cog object to pass there?

[fervent cradle]

for those who have the same issue I suggest using this way:

await ctx.respond("smthing", delete_after = {time})
...```

[spice oyster]

That's perfect if you know the time. My bot has to wait for an unknown amount of time, so I went for that solution.

[analog crest]

How am I supposed to reset cooldown in a slash command group?
This is my current code for resetting slash commands cooldown

for command in self.bot.walk_application_commands():
    command.reset_cooldown(ctx)

But it raises the following error

'SlashCommandGroup' object has no attribute '_buckets'

[spice oyster]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api.html?highlight=command#discord.ApplicationCommand.full_parent_name

Try with that. I don't know if there is a better way.

[ember grove]

Is there any documentation for migrating from discord.py? more specificly 1.7.3

[spice oyster]

I don't think so. I've used the guide and occasionally the docs.
Link: https://guide.pycord.dev/

[ember grove]

This was very brief and just mentioned uninstalling the old lib, I'm more interested if I have to rewrite stuff and how much

[round rivet]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/migrating_to_v2.html

[ember grove]

Thanks

[spice oyster]

Oh, right! I forgot about that page.

[jovial shoal]

having issues using defer/followup
Very recently (last couple weeks), functions that used to work properly are now throwing

discord.errors.NotFound: 404 Not Found (error code: 10062): Unknown interaction

when it gets to the await ctx.send_followup part of the code.

Everything else works normally, but it can't send messages/respond to users even with defer
The time between defer and the intended followup is under 10 seconds. Too long to do it without defer, but not even remotely long enough for the defer to expire

[silver moat]

send code. thanks

[jovial shoal]

    @slash_command(description="Whose address is this?")
    async def whose_address(self, ctx, address):
        await ctx.defer(ephemeral=True)
        addressee = ""
        address_ver = db['address_registry']
        for userid, user_info in address_ver.items():
            if address in user_info['address']:
                addressee = await self.client.fetch_user(int(userid))
                print(f"{ctx.author.display_name} queried {address} and found {addressee.display_name}, {addressee.id}")
                break
    
        if addressee != "":
            await ctx.send_followup(f"The resident of this address is {addressee}")
        else:
            await ctx.send_followup(f"Address not found")

[silver moat]

what does it show from the user side

[jovial shoal]

what do you mean?

they get an Application Failed

but I still get the print in the console

[silver moat]

so the defer doesn’t trigger.

[jovial shoal]

doesn't trigger?

[silver moat]

like it doesn’t say “Bot is thinking”

[jovial shoal]

I suppose not. I'm only getting screenshots from users with the Application Failed message. When I use it, it often/always works as expected

what might cause the defer to fail to trigger?

[silver moat]

maybe their discord isn’t up-to-date

[jovial shoal]

interesting

thanks for your help!

[storm hinge]

hi uh need emergency help idk what to put in await ctx.invoke()'s first parameter which is the command but what do i put in, do i pass in the coroutine? or what

ok nvm solved.

[somber remnant]

Hi! are the messages saved in cache by the bot removed after a while? is there a way to remove them to limit the memory?

[coarse canyon]

When I use: python3 -m pip install -U py-cord==2.2.0 I get an error: metadata-generation-failed

Does anyone know how to fix this, I’m using Python 3.10.7

[spice oyster]

Did you try adding ephemeral=True to the send_followup()? I'm not sure if needed.

[loud holly]

I guess do this

pip install py-cord--2.2.0

though I won't be upgrading yet, since I'll have to make the necessary changes 😭

[glossy socket]

hey, how can i add a button to a static message of the bot?

and keep them working even when the bot is restarted

[worn forge]

Hey I'd like to fetch a guild category by Category ID, is that possible?

[worn forge]

    Channel = await guild.create_text_channel(f':green_circle:︱hello')```

Unable to create channel, gives Error:

Channel = await guild.create_text_channel(f'🟢︱hello')

AttributeError: 'coroutine' object has no attribute 'create_text_channel'

[granite crypt]

class pointsView(discord.ui.View(timeout=None)):

Throws RuntimeError: no running event loop
Help

[neon bramble]

you don't subclass like that

[neon bramble]

fetch_guild needs to be awaited otherwise it will just return the coroutine

[granite crypt]

How then

[neon bramble]

discord.ui.View(timeout=None) creates an instance of ui.View, when subclassing you put the class object inside the brackets, ex. (discord.ui.View)

[worn forge]

gotchaaa

thanks!

[granite crypt]

Why do buttons stop working after bot restarts?

[neon bramble]

because the client doesn't know what callback to attribute to that particular button

you could make your own handler in on_interaction that checks the custom_id

or you could use "persistent views"

i think there's an example in the examples directory

[granite crypt]

Yeah thanks fixed it using persistent views

[loud holly]

what's the difference between raw_status and status? Is it similar to other raw events vs events without the raw?

[cyan quail]

it tells you the difference if you click them

[iron halo]

is there like a rate limit on the bot starting it doesnt respond for like 30 seconds if i do it too quickly

[cyan quail]

with slash commands, you can restart at most twice per minute

[iron halo]

yea thats it

ill just wait a minute next time

[quick temple]

Is it possible to make a .check for a specific SlashCommandGroup?

[cyan quail]

you can pass the checks=[...] kwarg when creating the group, being a list of check functions

[quick temple]

What would checks accept

[cyan quail]

any check functions or custom check functions

[quick temple]

oh wow

thanks

[fervent cradle]

is there a float value in Option()?

ah looks like there is

[silver moat]

you are using discord.Bot which does not support prefixed commands

[surreal glade]

im trying to do slash commands

i deleted the command prefix thing but then it still gave me the same error

[errant crane]

Here's the slash groups example.

[silver moat]

this is how you create a slash command group. it is different than prefixed commands.

[bitter gull]

Excuse me, can someone help with loading and unloading with the cog files? The slash commands work, but the load/unload does not do anything.

I made a thread here:
https://discord.com/channels/881207955029110855/1026389086946197564

@silver moat

[ebon hearth]

its role.id there

you are giving a string "OHIO COUNCIL"

instead, give them the role object

[soft girder]

Is it possible to do this in PyCord, and if so, how? I if that study API REF. but I don't know what it's called.

[wary rover]

I didn't understand.
Do you want to have the list of slash commands?

[soft girder]

I want those who do not have the right role to have this picture displayed. So that users do not touch the bot once again.

I just want the command unnecessary for the user to be unnecessary. Or so that this command could not use a certain role.

[wary rover]

I don't know how to make the commands not appear.
But for the permissions, here it is
https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.has_permissions

[soft girder]

Mmmmm. Ok thx, but I need a Slash

Okay

Bye

[wary rover]

Not only that, it also works with a prefix, but it won't be in the list.

[soft girder]

Thx, for help

[spice oyster]

Is it possible to create a link to a Slash Command with pre-compiled options?
For example, I'd like the text Sky to be a link for /image name:sky.png size:1920.

[wary rover]

From a link to a command?
From a word to a command and then to a link?

[spice oyster]

The user clicks on the word and the command appears in chat.

[wary rover]

Where is the word written?
Does the command have to be written? As a var (ctx.respond("Your command here")) Or be used and give a result?

[spice oyster]

The word goes in the description for a filed in an Embed.

[fervent cradle]

Hey, guys, is it possible to automate the new Pause Invites feature via the bot?

nvm.. await guild.edit(disable_invites=True)

thanks pycord, i love u

[spice oyster]

If I send context.user.mention in a private message, will it always appear as a mention/link to the user profile (eg. @spice oyster) or not?
Think about when you are not sharing a server with the user, so you likely never met before.

[spice oyster]

Is it possible to use something like @commands.is_owner() to check if a given user is in a list of allowed users to use that Slash Command?
I cannot use Roles because it has to work across different Discord servers where I don't have the power to add Roles.

[spice oyster]

Can my bot send private messages to users that have blocked private messages from people in the same servers as them?

[fervent cradle]

discord.errors.ApplicationCommandInvokeError: Application Command raised an exception: OSError: cannot open resource

?

why this error?

[fervent cradle]

the link and the text s provided by the user?

[spice oyster]

No, they are loaded from a database while building the embed.

[fervent cradle]

so umI have an idea

/image [provide choices]

and link those choices with the ids of secific images

and iterate through your db to find the id matching the request and grab the link

and display result

is this what you were asking?

@spice oyster

[spice oyster]

For example, I want to click on a link and get something like this in chat.

[fervent cradle]

oh

Idk is that even possible?

to get a template for a cmd?

[spice oyster]

I don't think so but it's better to ask. I know how to get the command, but not the options.

[fervent cradle]

how do you get the command through a link?

um if you don't mind may I ask smthing?

[spice oyster]

Sure.

[fervent cradle]

does slashcommandgroups work with slash command on your bot?

cause in mine the options never seem to appear

[wary rover]

The command will not be written but you can send an embed containing the command to be written

[spice oyster]

Yes, they work in cogs.

[fervent cradle]

can you give mea good tutorial for cogs?

current ones on yt are all outdated

[wary rover]

ahahah same prob

https://guide.pycord.dev/popular-topics/cogs/

https://github.com/Pycord-Development/pycord/blob/master/examples/app_commands/slash_cog.py

You should not use create_group but SlashCommandGroup except that this one works only in a cog

@fervent cradle

I had the problem and spent my morning working on it

[fervent cradle]

kk

looks like gotta make some cogs for my bot

[wary rover]

You can make one with all your orders, even if it is not super optimized it will work

[fervent cradle]

k

thanks

[wary rover]

I have three files for my three groups of commands

[fervent cradle]

so I should create a separate file for every group?

and if possible can you tell me what are the "handlers" and "modules" files?

[fervent cradle]

.

[west flume]

Is there something wrong here?

[wary rover]

You don't have to, but you can.

This is my code that works with this, in module I process the commands.
In handler I realize the actions in database, I was forced to separate in several files.

[spice oyster]

Yes, I think so.

[fervent cradle]

k done

Ima go through examples

[wary rover]

indentation, if you have copied the code from discord or a site you may have problems

[woeful spindle]

his indentation seems fine to me

[wary rover]

Sometimes the visible indentation is good but the invisible character bug

[woeful spindle]

never knew that was even a bug

I’ve never encountered it

[wary rover]

I had it again this morning, I had to delete and redo my indentation

[woeful spindle]

@west flume ^ seems like u will have to do that

[west flume]

🗿 Alr then

[wary rover]

If you work with VSCode and the python extension you have everything underlined

[keen grove]

how to check if a user has accepted rules or not?

[slim plaza]

How do i make my bot available for multiple guilds? I had my one guild_id as a parameter for my @bot.slash.commands. When try to add another one i get "discord.erros.Forbidden: 403 Forbidden (error code: 50001): Missing Access

[fervent cradle]

i added it but the same error

[spice oyster]

The bot needs permission to be in the servers you want to add there. Invite the bot user or check if they have the correct permissions, then run the bot.

[cyan quail]

are you on 2.2.0?

[fervent cradle]

i guess yea

lemme check

[cyan quail]

lib issue, in member.ban add delete_message_seconds=0

will fix

[fervent cradle]

ok

ty

Does anyone know i can get the values from a websites dropdown menu? I just want a command that responds with everything in this list. Example:
Aghanistan Remaining (1)
Albania Remaining (2)
...

[full basin]

The bot wasn't invited with the application.commands scope

[novel leaf]

try beautifulsoup4

[fervent cradle]

page = get('https://mywebsite/test')
soup = BeautifulSoup(page.text, 'html.parser')
soup = soup.find('select', class_ = 'form-control')
items = soup.select('option[value]')
values = [item.get('value') for item in items]

print(values)
await ctx.respond(values)

I tried this which kind of works but it only returns the values ie "Afghanistan" and not the "Afghanistan Remaining (0)"

[novel leaf]

try values = [item.text for item in items]

[fervent cradle]

That worked! Thank you.

[fervent cradle]

So i formatted the results into new lines. Do you know how i could ignore all the lines containing 0?

[novel leaf]

[item.text for item in items if "(0)" not in item.text]

[fervent cradle]

Thank you very much! I appreciate it.

[glossy socket]

how would yall recommend me to add persistent views?

i dont understand this example at all
https://github.com/Pycord-Development/pycord/blob/master/examples/views/persistent.py

[fervent cradle]

daily limit? Isn't there a way around it?

Can anyone brief the situation, why am I getting this?

[shrewd dome]

you are getting this because you reached the daily limit of 200 application command creations

[fervent cradle]

slash command?

[shrewd dome]

I believe Pycord re-registers your command when you restart your bot

[silver moat]

What specifically do you not understand about it?

[silver moat]

You reached the daily rate limit and you should wait it out.

[fervent cradle]

me? or my bot?

cause even if I use an alt to send commands it doesn't work

[glossy socket]

on which message does the view get added? i dont see any send_message there

[silver moat]

https://github.com/Pycord-Development/pycord/blob/master/examples/views/persistent.py#L74

[errant crane]

examples/views/persistent.py line 74

await ctx.send("What's your favourite colour?", view=PersistentView())```

[silver moat]

It's your bot that reached the limit.

[glossy socket]

ahh ty i didnt even see that

[fervent cradle]

So like my bot can't process more that 200 commands a day

[silver moat]

No, it cannot create more than 200 commands a day

[fervent cradle]

so what if my bot is in 5-6 servers and 10 people in each server use it

[fervent cradle]

I didn't create any new commands other than a simple 'suggestion' and an image command

[shrewd dome]

you probably restarted it too much

[silver moat]

If you made a global command, then that's one create. If you made 5-6 guild commands that's 5-6 creates.

[fervent cradle]

oh that's why it created the same command over and over again and filled the rate limit?

[shrewd dome]

maybe its changed since last time

[silver moat]

Pycord only registers/creates commands if the bot doesn't have them

[shrewd dome]

fair

then god knows how this dude reached 200 creates

😂

[fervent cradle]

lmao I am wondering the same thing

[silver moat]

could be shared host, not sure tho.

[fervent cradle]

Yea maybe I tried hosting the bot for a while

shared *

ok nvm I think ima sleep

good night

[silver moat]

ok gn

[worn forge]

Hey, I'm trynna lock a channel I just created to a User and a Role
how do I create the overwrtire for this
I can create overwrite for Bot and Everyone, not sure how it's done for a Specific User and Role

[silver moat]

[glossy socket]

hey, im trying to set up this persistent view, but i keep getting this error:

ValueError: View is not persistent. Items need to have a custom_id set and View must have no timeout

i did give all of the items a custom_id except the url button since that one cant have a custom_id

[proud mason]

did you set the view timeout to None?

[glossy socket]

i didnt set any timeout

so it should default to None right?

[spice oyster]

No, that's not the default value.

https://guide.pycord.dev/interactions/ui-components/buttons#persistent-views

[glossy socket]

ahh thanks

[spice oyster]

How to get the "About Me" section of a given user?

[iron halo]

my bot keeps randomly saying interaction not found even when i use await ctx.defer()
is it just discord being slow or is it my problem

[cyan quail]

not possible

[cyan quail]

if i had to guess, your bot is somehow taking longer than 3 seconds to recieve the event; perhaps a network issue or you have blocking code elsewhere in the bot?

[little hill]

I noticed that bot.users fluctuates between restarts. what causes this?

[loud holly]

Caching I believe

[little hill]

is there a way to make it more consistent?

or is there a more accurate total-user-count?

[desert pebble]

hello again

client.run is a blocking call
anything after it isn't executed
how can i fix that?

[gleaming falcon]

Discord told me in no uncertain terms that this will likely never be in the API.

[opaque glacier]

how do I set multiple lines on an embed?

for example:

so far i have:

[young bone]

use ctx.respond if you use slash_command

[opaque glacier]

no im trying to create multiple lines for the description

[neon bramble]

add a \n

that being the escape code for the new line character

just like you have \t for a tab and \r for carriage return

[spice oyster]

How do I enumerate() here?

for offlaner, amount in zip(offlaners, amounts):

[neon bramble]

>>> for a, (b, c) in enumerate(zip("abc", "def")):
...     print(a, (b, c))
... 
0 ('a', 'd')
1 ('b', 'e')
2 ('c', 'f')

[surreal glade]

nevermind i got it

[woeful spindle]

How do I add multiple views to one message?

[spice oyster]

Oh, I was so close to try that! Thank you.

[cyan quail]

you don't

you can add multiple rows to a view, but there can only be 1 view per message

if you need to use a different row, add row= to your select/button object

[woeful spindle]

How would we add 2 buttons to a message then? Do they need to be in the same view?

[cyan quail]

? yeah

[woeful spindle]

That’s kinda annoying

[cyan quail]

views support up to 25 items (5 items in each of 5 rows)

how come?

[woeful spindle]

I wanna have a view for my Invite button and a different view for my support server button and sometimes I want both, so now I have to make 3 different views whereas if I could have multiple views in one message, I can just add both my support server view and Invite view rather than having to create a new view for both

hope that makes sense lol

[cyan quail]

but why different views?

[woeful spindle]

but sometimes I just want my invite button on my command

[cyan quail]

you can just programatically add the buttons

[woeful spindle]

or just my support server button

and sometimes I want both

[cyan quail]

like py view = discord.ui.View() if True: view.add_item(invite_button) elif False: view.add_item(support_button) else: ...the logic here is just an example, but it's not that complicated

[woeful spindle]

my brain is already broken looking at that 😅

[cyan quail]

eh...

[woeful spindle]

if what is true?

[cyan quail]

are they both url buttons?

[woeful spindle]

yup

[cyan quail]

the logic there is just an example, it can be anything

if it's url buttons then it's even easier

[woeful spindle]

how so?

[cyan quail]

since you can only make them with discord.ui.Button so you aren't dealing callbacks

what decides whether it's an invite or a support server button?

[woeful spindle]

depends on the command really

[cyan quail]

did you subclass the view elsewhere? or are you just doing view=discord.ui.View()

might be easier if you showed the code

[proud pagoda]

Also, if you really want to you can just write a function to do this for you instead of writing that every time

[woeful spindle]

well I tried quite a few things but I’ll show u what I have rn

it works but I wanna have separate views

[cyan quail]

oh

[woeful spindle]

hold on let me remove the invite

[cyan quail]

yeah LOL

[woeful spindle]

class OnAzielInviteView(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        
        style = discord.ButtonStyle.gray
        vote = discord.ui.Button(style = style, label = "Top.gg!", url = "https://top.gg/bot/981332858230698069/vote")
        support = discord.ui.Button(style = style, label = "Support", url = "https://discord.gg")
        self.add_item(vote)
        self.add_item(support)

[cyan quail]

ok isee

why don't we add a variable to the view call then? e.g. if you do view = OnAzielInviteView(invite=True) or something, it'll only add that button

there are several ways to go about this but that would keep it flexible

[woeful spindle]

sure!

[cyan quail]

so simply we're looking to add stuff to __init__ py class OnAzielInviteView(discord.ui.View): def __init__(self, support=True, invite=True):then later on in the init, we just add conditionspy if support: ... # add the support button

this way, by default if you just call OnAzielInviteView() you'll have both buttons

but if you, for example, wanted to hide the support button, you would do OnAzielInviteView(support=False)

[woeful spindle]

Ooo, I see

[cyan quail]

you can change this as you wish to set defaults etc.

[woeful spindle]

class OnAzielInviteView(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self, invite = True, support = True):
        super().__init__()
        
        style = discord.ButtonStyle.gray
        vote = discord.ui.Button(style = style, label = "Top.gg!", url = "https://top.gg/bot/981332858230698069/vote")
        support = discord.ui.Button(style = style, label = "Support", url = "https://discord.gg")
        if support:
            self.add_item(support)
        if vote:
            self.add_item(vote)

Like this?

[neon bramble]

remember thy indentation

[cyan quail]

^

[woeful spindle]

yup just remembered lol

better now?

[cyan quail]

and perhaps change the elif to just if

because you're always checking both conditions separately

[woeful spindle]

got it, and could I add more buttons like this with the same type of idea?

[cyan quail]

mhm

[woeful spindle]

awesome, tysm :)

[fervent cradle]

I have the same thing

[cyan quail]

if you wanted you could also move the button creation inside the if statements so you don't have unused variables lying around

oh wait

[cyan quail]

also make sure your variables all have different names

e.g. they're you're overriding the support=True with support = Button, so maybe rename the buttons to support_button etc. so nothing clashes

[woeful spindle]

kk ty!

[fervent cradle]

issue fixed you need to add delete_message_seconds=0

[cyan quail]

wait

[cyan quail]

did this work with member.ban?

or did you use guild.ban(member, ...)

[fervent cradle]

thank you.

[cyan quail]

it's fixed in the next release but just checking

[fervent cradle]

await member.ban()

[fervent cradle]

yea

[cyan quail]

interesting, from my testing it should have errored on member.ban but if it worked then fair enough?

[naive steppe]

Is there a rule against implementing automatic ban processes within a bot?

Like a blacklist that autobans when they join

I havnt fully read discord bot tos, and so im not fully educated if it would be some kind of foul play

[cyan quail]

i don't think so?

there may be clauses/rules regarding how you store data used with your bot, necessary data etc., but autobanning in itself would be fine

[vivid plaza]

Guys. If anyone have a problem in his code, its easy to solve it, just fix it !

[finite flame]

someone has an idea why pycharm professional is letting SQL queries look so weird?

[spice oyster]

I have a question about merging lists in Python. Anyone knows how to solve this?

m = [("H", 1), ("A", 4)]
o = ["A", "B", "C", "H"]
r = create_results(m, o)  # How to implement this function to get these results?
print(r)
> [("A", 4), ("B", 0), ("C", 0), ("H", 1)]

I'm wondering if there is a better way to do it than just using nested for loops.

[finite flame]

results = []
for letter in o:
    for x, num in m:
        if letter == x:
            results.append((x, num))
            break
    else:
      results.append((letter, 0))
print(results)```
there generally are ways to do it other than this, tho it's not better, it'd be easier to use this

[spice oyster]

Thanks! I'm trying to do something similar but it's not easy. I'll try your version.

It's basically the same code until break because I was still trying to figure out the end.

That's perfect! How did you solve it so quickly and with zero mistakes? I didn't think about the else after the for loop.

[rugged lantern]

or as a list comprehension, result = [(x, num) if letter == x else (letter, 0) for x, num in m for letter in o]

(dunno if it works, didnt test)

[spice oyster]

Thanks! I'll try tomorrow. Now it's kinda late here.

[hasty spire]

hello there, im trying to get the stats of my bot,
my code just returns a valueerror, idk what am i doing wrong

[young bone]

and what is the error?

[hasty spire]

oh sorry, it says ValueError, idk what i should replace

AttributeError: 'info' object has no attribute 'datetime'```
```discord.errors.ApplicationCommandInvokeError: Application Command raised an exception: AttributeError: module 'discord.ext.commands' has no attribute 'ValueError'```

looks like my uptime var is the cause

[silver moat]

have you defined self.datetime?

[hasty spire]

lemme try

[rugged lantern]

why are u calling self

[full basin]

Probably a function they made?

[rugged lantern]

with this kind of question

i doubt it, respectfully

[young bone]

you dont have to try... you have to look at the code and say "yes or no"

[hasty spire]

no

sorry

[silver moat]

what is self.datetime?

[hasty spire]

wdym?

wait now i tottaly dont understand, i defined my current time(current) then compare the current time with the execution time(idk if i use the right ones)

[full basin]

We don't know either. You coded it.

what is self.datetime

Where is that defined

[hasty spire]

it is not defined? i think idk

[rugged lantern]

so why are u use it as a variable

[full basin]

If you can't read your own code, you shouldn't ask for help

[hasty spire]

ahhhh, im ashamed im sorry, thank you for making me realized the i should always 10x check my code, will remember this mistake for a lifetime
Edit: i forgot to make start variable as a global variable

works as intended now

[hasty spire]

can answer this now, i still dunno what is this, this is not defined and wont work

[full basin]

Do you realize now - start will always be 0

[hasty spire]

yea i forgot to make it as a global variable

oke now, thanks

[boreal chasm]

how do i get the channel that the command was executed in?

[young bone]

ctx.channel

[fierce elm]

Anyone know why this isn't working? (The on_timeout, I am actually using the view)

make_pages.py

class TicketButtonsView(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self, ticket_id):
        super().__init__(timeout=20)
        self.ticket_id = ticket_id
        self.add_item(TicketCloseButton(ticket_id=ticket_id))
        self.add_item(TicketDeleteButton(ticket_id=ticket_id))
        self.add_item(TicketOpenButton(ticket_id=ticket_id))

    async def on_timeout(self) -> None:
        logger.debug(f"TicketButtonsView timed out for ticket {self.ticket_id}")
        await self.message.delete()

make_pages.py

def make_view(ticket):
    view = TicketButtonsView(ticket_id=ticket.id)
    return view

tickets.py

    async def ticket_admin_list(self, ctx: ApplicationContext):
        """List all open tickets."""
        await ctx.defer(ephemeral=False)
        tickets = await get_all_open_tickets()
        if tickets is None:
            await ctx.respond("There are no open tickets.")
            return
        else:
            pages = []
            first_page = discord.Embed(title="Open Tickets", timestamp=arw.now('US/Eastern').datetime, description="All open tickets are listed on the following pages.")
            pages.append(Page(embeds=[first_page]))
            for ticket in tickets:
                pages.append(Page(embeds=[await make_embed(ticket, bot=ctx.bot)], custom_view=make_view(ticket)))
            pager = Paginator(pages=pages)
            await pager.respond(ctx.interaction, ephemeral=False)

I am not getting any traceback, yet the view doesn't delete the message on_timeout

[fervent cradle]

how do i send buttons to the next row

[spice oyster]

There is an attribute on Buttons, I believe. Search for Button in docs.

[languid finch]

how to remove global slash commands?

[spice oyster]

I need a Slash Command to only show in private messages with my bot. How to do it?
I don't want to use @commands.dm_only() as a decorator because the Slash Command will still be visible outside of private messages.
In other words, I need dm_only as attribute, similar to guild_only, but sadly it's not there.
Link: https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api.html#discord.SlashCommand.guild_only

[analog crest]

I deferred an interaction and tried to send a modal after, but it says this interaction has been responded before? I don't see this error when sending normal messages

[obtuse junco]

No tag code found.

[fringe socket]

?tag didnotwork

[obtuse junco]

No tag didnotwork found.

[fringe socket]

gahhhh

[spice oyster]

If I remember correctly, it's not possible to defer and then send a Modal.

You have to do it differently (eg. send the Modal immediately, or add a Button to open it).

[slate vortex]

If Bot.debug_guilds is configured, is it possible to still create global commands at all? like override it on a per-command basis or something?

[spice oyster]

The bot will not create any global commands if debug guild IDs are passed.

Link: https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api.html#discord.Bot.debug_guilds

[slate vortex]

wasnt sure if that was just a default behaviour or a hard restriction

[spice oyster]

Because of that change, for testing commands, I prefer to use guild_ids (from Slash Commands or Slash Command Groups) or a completely different bot just for testing purposes, depending on what I need to do.

[slate vortex]

fair enough, thanks

[tiny wagon]

How can i make a custom method of Bot instance? So that i can use it in other cogs too

[finite flame]

for that you'll have to create your own bot class, inheriting from discord.Bot

[spice oyster]

How to easily convert date_time = message.created_at into content = "<t:{date_time}:F>" printable format? Solved with int(date_time.timestamp()).

[copper dew]

Subclass discord.Bot and make your own method from there

[fervent cradle]

is it possible to make command groups like how we make slashcommand groups

smthing like this
?admin ban

its possible to do that in slash commands with the groups but can we do the same for prefix commands

[tiny wagon]

So basically import just Bot in main file, make a new class with its name and create method ryt?

[somber remnant]

I'm probably going to ask a dumb question and get disowned, but there is no way to "hide" a / command so that only certain people (me and my friend) can use them?

[cyan quail]

yep
https://guide.pycord.dev/extensions/commands/groups
https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#group

[copper dew]

yep. Here's a page from the guide if u need help on it: https://guide.pycord.dev/popular-topics/subclassing-bots

[copper dew]

There isn't any way to hide slash commands irc, but what u can do is to check for whether the user running it is you or your friend

Or the other way is to just load that command only in the guild that u and ur friends is in

[somber remnant]

Sure, it what i do for others commands
Thanks for the answer so !
I hope we can do that one day

[fervent cradle]

oh thanks, really needed this

[copper dew]

np

[cyan quail]

if you have manage server permissions, you can do it from guild settings

[somber remnant]

Yea ik that, but i want to make it for all the server my bot join
but if it don't have the perm, it wont work :/

[cyan quail]

but yeah no "direct" way to do it from the bot, it'd either be guild_ids or using default_member_permissions for stuff like administrator

[somber remnant]

And i need to add another intent e-e

My goal is to remove the messages intent, so i need to make bot admin command into slash commands

[cyan quail]

you can still use your prefix commands without the intent

just add the bot mention as your prefix

[somber remnant]

Nah it doesnt work :/

[somber remnant]

wdym ?

[cyan quail]

bots can read content for messages they're mentioned in

even without the intent

[somber remnant]

Ho i see

[cyan quail]

alternatively you could also just do them all in DMs

[somber remnant]

pretty interesting

[somber remnant]

Sure

How i can add the mention in prefix ?

remove the basic one ?

[cyan quail]

there's a built in helper for setting the prefix to the bot mention
https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.when_mentioned
or the alternate one which can be mention + your own custom prefixes
https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.when_mentioned_or

[somber remnant]

its easier that i think

So i'll try it rn

Another question, i need 2 intents for message :

intents.message_content = True
intents.messages = True```
If i remove one, it doesnt work anymore
Why ?

[cyan quail]

message_content is the privileged one for specifically message.content, message.attachments, message.embeds and probably a few others

while messages is for all message events; this isn't privileged and is necessary for the bot to see the message event at all

[somber remnant]

hmm

[cyan quail]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api.html#discord.Intents.messages

basically you need messages for prefix commands (at a minimum)

[somber remnant]

Okay, and i need it too with bot mention ?

[cyan quail]

yes

[somber remnant]

hmm

It's problematic, I wanted to remove it

[cyan quail]

is there any reason you don't want it at all?

[somber remnant]

I'm trying to remove as much as possible RAM from the bot. As i read, the messages intent keep message in caches, so if i remove it it would be nice

[cyan quail]

you can just disable/reduce the cache

by default it's limited to 1000 messages

[somber remnant]

How ?

[cyan quail]

inside commands.Bot, set max_messages=None or any integer to change the limit

[somber remnant]

I searched about the RAM on pycord/discord but found nothing, except how to raise an error when ram exceed something

Woaw it's work really well
Could it be a problem to set this one to None?

And, there is a way to remove cache from these too ?:

intents.reactions = True
intents.guilds = True
intents.members = True```

[somber remnant]

Well, i see that my bot doesnt remember his message so can't add reaction
dem that's not easy

[cyan quail]

you could reduce it to something like 100 messages instead, so it'll remember the more recent stuff

[somber remnant]

If i put a button instead of a reaction, it work ? (i dont have any commands with buttons)

[cyan quail]

these days buttons are encouraged over reactions yes

[somber remnant]

For this reason, or another one ?

[cyan quail]

well

buttons are designed to be used as responses

and as interactions they don't rely on the message/other intents

[somber remnant]

I see

[cyan quail]

it's advised you keep the guild cache because you lose a lot of functionality without it

[somber remnant]

So i can remove all the cache if i put button instead of reaction 🤔 ?

[somber remnant]

Okay

[cyan quail]

it should work yeah

as for members, you can control it with member_cache_flags=..., which takes a discord.MemberCacheFlags object
https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api.html#discord.MemberCacheFlags

[somber remnant]

interesting so,I didn't really want to switch to buttons but...

And members work the same way that messages ?

I use a lot of user information, and also fetch_user(), etc...

[cyan quail]

members are a bit different from messages

the docs page on MemberCacheFlags somewhat explains what you can enable/disable

[somber remnant]

So, if i use interactions i want to keep interaction and from_intents ?
to remove the others i can make member_cache_flags.joined=False ?
or member_cache_flags.intents work ?

[cyan quail]

from_intents will set joined=True since you have the members intent

[somber remnant]

So i need to put member_cache_flags.joined=False ?

[cyan quail]

not quite, you need to form the object

similar to how you do Intents

[somber remnant]

Hoo i see

after or before commands.Bot ?

[cyan quail]

inside, no?

how did you do intents

[somber remnant]

Outside

[cyan quail]

but like

before/after

[somber remnant]

Before

[cyan quail]

then do the same

[somber remnant]

kay

[granite crypt]

Options keep disappearing from my slash commands. I have no idea why.

There’s supposed to be an option here. This is happening to every command…

[somber remnant]

So, like this :```member_cache_flags= discord.MemberCacheFlags.all()
member_cache_flags.voice=False
member_cache_flags.joined=False

then in commands.bot i add `member_cache_flags=member_cache_flags`
it's that ?

[somber remnant]

Show code ?

[cyan quail]

does this happen on all clients? or does it show again if you reload or switch to another device

[granite crypt]

Everywhere

[cyan quail]

version?

of pycord

[granite crypt]

2.2 but i believe it happened on the older one too

[cyan quail]

will be fixed hopefully today when 2.2.1 releases, i think the best you can do is downgrade to 2.0.1

though this only breaks groups that were created with create_group

[granite crypt]

Ah so it’s a known issue?

[cyan quail]

if i'm not mistaken the issue isn't present with cogs

yeah

[granite crypt]

Alright then

I’ll downgrade for now

Thank you

[granite crypt]

Yeah uh every command on my bot uses group

[cyan quail]

did you mean cogs or groups?

[granite crypt]

Groups

info = bot.create_group(name="info", description="FAQ")

[cyan quail]

if you want you could move the commands to a cog and rework it a bit then load them, but if not then i'd say just downgrade

[granite crypt]

Yeah i’ll downgrade for now. Sounds easier

What’s the latest version before 2.2?

[cyan quail]

well... it was also broken on 2.1.3 and 2.1.1; 2.0.1 is the main version where it isn't broken

[granite crypt]

I was running on 2.1.1 without any problems until today

[cyan quail]

if it works on 2.1.1 then try that then

i wasn't sure if it was introduced in .1 or .3

[somber remnant]

So, about that ?

[cyan quail]

yeah that's fine

[somber remnant]

How i can check if it's work like i want ?

i mean, how i can check if voice for exemple is not in cache anymore

[spice oyster]

Do you know an extension for Visual Studio Code that can highlight repeated block of codes in a file/project while ignoring space characters?

[quick temple]

Can a slash command option accept a command (so a command is referenced)?

[cyan quail]

not built in, but you could make it a string and use bot.get_application_command to get the command by name

you could go further and make it an autocomplete based on all your bot's commands, or use choices to show specific command names

[rare ice]

Can you run pip freeze in your terminal for me and send the output?

[fervent cradle]

How can I create a say command with slash

[simple canopy]

hmm, try reading https://guide.pycord.dev

[frozen salmon]

class PersistentView(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self, bot):
        super().__init__(timeout=None)
        self.bot = bot
    
    options = []
    s = guild
    ss = self.bot.get_guild(s)
``` howcome self is undefined?

[young bone]

For what do you need the bot?

[frozen salmon]

Huh?

[silver moat]

learn python. thanks

[frozen salmon]

rather rude response, i figured it out though. I used an instance

[silver moat]

well, it was a basic OOP question.

[patent escarp]

I get Missing permissions, but I've never seen Missing Access. Any potential reasons why this happens?

[silver moat]

Your bot should have permissions to send messages in that channel.

[frozen salmon]

im assuming bot doesnt have the correct perms.

[patent escarp]

And it has been sending messages

[silver moat]

because you are using slash commands, reinviting your bot with the application.commands scope also should happen.

[patent escarp]

The channel would have been deleted 20 minutes ago, and did not work

so when I did use /close again, got the error

[silver moat]

well, interactions bypass default channel permissions

did you mean to use ctx.respond instead of ctx.send?

[patent escarp]

I did do that in here

[silver moat]

.

[patent escarp]

Fixed it, but still getting the error "Missing Access"

[silver moat]

Could you send your code?

[patent escarp]

It's a very big file, but I'll send the essential

[silver moat]

oh ic why you used ctx.send

[surreal glade]

@silver moat do u know how to do select menus IN slash commands, i cant find any documentation

[errant crane]

Here's the slash options example.

[surreal glade]

thank you

[bronze flame]

this isnt related to the library but i think thats okay?
why cant i invite bots when i give them more scope than just bots?

[cyan quail]

elaborate

[bronze flame]

im trying to give it the applitcations.commands scope (for slash commands) and it wont join the server
if i only give it the bots scope with admin it joins fine

this has been the case with every other scope that ive tried

[cyan quail]

so giving it both scopes doesn't let it join?

[bronze flame]

yeah

[cyan quail]

hmmmmm

so when inviting, does it not let you select the server, confirm permissions etc?

[bronze flame]

no all of that is allowed, i authorize it and everything, but it just will not join

[cyan quail]

are you sure it isn't being kicked by another bot?

[bronze flame]

i dont have other bots in my server

i could try making a dif app

nvm

it seems to work now i just flicked some random settings lol

[cyan quail]

nice

[bronze flame]

how do i get rid of this?

[rare ice]

You can’t

[rare ice]

Discord limitation

[bronze flame]

dang

more like lamecord imo

can i at least delete the slash command when its used

[fringe socket]

If you are that desperate, use ctx.send instead of ctx.respond. It's really not worth it though.

[fringe socket]

yes

with ctx.send

it makes it slower though

[bronze flame]

okay thankks

[rare ice]

No

[bronze flame]

nvm no thanks (im kidding)

[rare ice]

ctx.send doesn’t actually respond to the interaction

then you will get an interaction failed

[fringe socket]

That doesn't appear if you use ctx.send...

Really though, just use ctx.respond

not worth it

[bronze flame]

alright

[fringe socket]

If you want the command to not show, just use ephemeral=True

[rare ice]

Yeah it does, hidden. But you still get an interaction failed pop up. So yes it does.

[fringe socket]

But that also hides the response

[bronze flame]

oh right thats what it was

thanks for the help

[fringe socket]

:) welcome

[rare ice]

ephemeral=True hides the response, they are talking about the x used /command part

[bronze flame]

is that not hidden too?

[rare ice]

If you use ephemeral=True yes but only for the user

They wanted it removed entirely I think

[bronze flame]

no it suffices for what i need i think

[fringe socket]

However, bear in mind that if you use ephemeral=True then just note that the message will disappear for you too, after a few minutes, if you log out, etc.

[bronze flame]

yes alright thanks

[fringe socket]

:)

glad to help

[bronze flame]

sorry if its a lot of questions, im very new to using apis
whats wrong with this?

[cyan quail]

spelling

[bronze flame]

where

nvm

[cyan quail]

first line

[bronze flame]

man

[cyan quail]

also ctx.respond in slash commands

[bronze flame]

oh alright

[fervent cradle]

I am encountering a new issue

So I have made a modal suggestion thing

When I try it once it works fine

But when I try to send another suggestion the command doesn't show up in the list

and all of the bots command don't show up aswell

is this supposed to be a bug?

[silver moat]

yeah a discord bug

[somber cloak]

if something like await channel.edit(...) doesn't work because my bot is rate-limited, does it raise an error or return some unique value? i've been doing the following and was wondering if there's a better way

async def try_to_edit(obj_to_edit, **kwargs):
    try:
        async with async_timeout.timeout(1.5) as _:
            await obj_to_edit.edit(**kwargs)
        return True
    except:
        return False

[bronze flame]

how do i get user id when im given the tag and username?
or is there a way to get user id in a slash command that doesnt look ugly and user unfriendly

[somber cloak]

if you do, for example, \@mstang, you get my id: @somber cloak

[bronze flame]

wait what

[somber cloak]

idk if that helps, it's more for users

[bronze flame]

hold on brb

i dont think it would work

unless i did some scuffed thing where i make the bot send a message to figure out user id

[somber cloak]

yeah fair

[bronze flame]

well ill keep looking

[somber cloak]

maybe look at fetch_member or similar? you should be able to get the user object from the username i think

[bronze flame]

alright thanks

i think its backwards
it takes id as input and returns the name?

yeah it does

[rare ice]

fetch_member returns a discord.Member object, not a name.

[bronze flame]

ahhh

yeah i have a discord.Member object and want to get a user id

do you know if thats possible?

[rare ice]

member.id

.docslink discord.Member.id

[winter condor]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api.html#discord.Member.id

[bronze flame]

youre so cool

[rare ice]

ok

[naive steppe]

https://tenor.com/view/giga-chad-ok-gif-24613496

[bronze flame]

cant believe i got hit with the ok

[silver moat]

it wouldn't be unique, but it will be a discord.HTTPException

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api.html#discord.HTTPException.status

you can use that to check the status code (429 if rl)

[fervent cradle]

bro wtf

I swear I just restarted the bot 2-3 times

and I reached the daily application command creates?

I was just working with modals

heck

[fringe socket]

Hold on

how do you host your bot?

@fervent cradle

[fervent cradle]

local host

[fringe socket]

Ok.

[fervent cradle]

didn't use any hosts

it's really frustrating but I think god wants me to have a life ig

[fringe socket]

Uh... spend the rest of today fixing any errors you find, and then try again tomorrow.

[fervent cradle]

but holidays are going on I have nothing but to sleep

[fringe socket]

If you are looking for a good host, I would suggest this guy.

https://railway.app

Do NOT use repl.

[fervent cradle]

I use this already tbh

[quick temple]

Is there a way to store custom data in ApplicationContext? Or to pass a custom object from on_application_command -> the command itself -> on_application_command_completion. (Where the custom object is created in on_application_command)

[fervent cradle]

I'm testing the lavalink audio player in the docs
I used the exact same code, I get this error
discord.errors.ApplicationCommandInvokeError: Application Command raised an exception: ContentTypeError: 0, message='Attempt to decode JSON with unexpected mimetype: ', url=URL('http://lavalink-replit.repluser69.repl.co:443/loadtracks?identifier=ytsearch:never+gonna+give+you+up')
any idea how I could solve this?

[somber remnant]

Hello i have a problem with the buttons

I want to make two buttons, each will give one value for a variable (1 or 5)

but i don't want to make TWO callback, but ONLY one

And if possible, i don't want to make a common fonction, i want all in the button class

[spice oyster]

You can do it like this: a callback for each button and a generic function. In each callback, call the generic function.

[somber remnant]

:/

[spice oyster]

You can keep it inside that class. I think it's fine.

[somber remnant]

Hmm you think ? i'll try this

[spice oyster]

Yes, I use that method for some of my Views.

[somber remnant]

Can you show me an exemple ? cause it don't work for me

Okay, nvm, i found myself

Ty for the answer !

[dusty linden]

Is there a forum version of on_thread_create so that you can make a bot join a new forum thread automatically?

[cyan quail]

it's the same event

forum posts are threads

[dusty linden]

Oh I see what I did

I used on_thread_join instead of on_thread_create...

Thanks a bunch Nelo

[waxen whale]

lol

[tame rose]

Is it possible to load a slash command from a separate file?

[rugged lantern]

no, cogs exist for no reason

[tame rose]

If I understand it correctly, you're adding a slash command in a cog instead?

[errant crane]

Here's the slash cog example.

[spice oyster]

Is there a way to tell Discord that I don't want to respond to a Slash Command or Interaction?
I basically want to get rid of the "This interaction failed" message without sending a message.
Solved by using interaction.response.edit().

[tame rose]

Thanks

[loud holly]

I presume that autocomplete function cannot return a discord.Role e.g.

    async def get_option(ctx: ....):
        User_Option = ctx.options

        if User_Options == "role": return discord.Role
    
    @bot.slash_command()
    async def trying(
        ctx: .....4
        choosing: discord.Option(str, choices=["role"]),
        returning: discord.Option(autocompete=get_option)
    ):
        # STUFF

[cobalt tangle]

what error is raised when the embed cannot have more fields? (i am going to put in in a try: and except: area)

[cobalt tangle]

this is when i use add_field

[tame rose]

How do you create a command group in a cog?

class Shop(commands.Cog):
    def __init__(self, bot):
        self.bot = bot
    shop = self.bot.create_group('shop')

    @shop.command(description = 'Buy an item from the shop')
    async def item(self, itrc):
        ...

[cobalt tangle]

class Shop(commands.Cog):
    def __init__(self, bot):
        self.bot = bot
    poll = discord.SlashCommandGroup("name", "description")

    @poll.command(description = 'Buy an item from the shop')
    async def item(self, itrc):

[tame rose]

Why is self.bot not working?

Also is that the recommended way?

[cobalt tangle]

because self.bot isnt defined outside of a command or that async def

[cobalt tangle]

I would do it like this, it works fine

[tame rose]

🤔

I got it. Thanks

[cobalt tangle]

Ok, and you tried to use the main group, this is a subgroup capable type and i'm pretty sure this is supposed to be used in cogs

[cyan quail]

autocomplete can only do strings yeah

though since it supports OptionChoice, you could have name as the role name and value as the role ID to make it easier to get the role object within the command

[marble jasper]

Getting this error when using embeds=embeds and the total characters between 3 embeds is greater than 6000? I thought the 6000 character limit was just for a singular embed?

[glossy socket]

anyone got a clue why this import:

from discord.ui import Item

isnt working on my vps, while it does on my laptop? i installed pycord with pip3 install py-cord

[round rivet]

all embed fields are counted in all embeds I believe

[silver moat]

update your python. Py-cord requires python 3.8+

[spice oyster]

I'm not sure how it works. You can do this to check if each embed is below 6000 characters.

for embed in embeds:
    print(len(embed))

[marble jasper]

Ive already checked and they are all below 6000

That’s what the list above the traceback was printing

[round rivet]

the character limit is all embeda

[marble jasper]

Is that intentional?

[round rivet]

probably

it's documented as if it is

[spice oyster]

Where? The part I've read doesn't seem to do that.

[marble jasper]

Bit weird that the character limit for one embed would be the same as that for 3 embeds when sent in the same message. Should I just send the embeds in separate messages then?

[spice oyster]

At this point, yes. I'm also surprised by that behaviour as I believe the limit is supposed to be per embed, not per message.

Actually, the docs for another library (not in Python) say it's per message.

The sum of all characters from all embed structures in a message must not exceed 6000 characters

[marble jasper]

Hmm that’s interesting.

[round rivet]

discord states the following for the embeds field

Embedded rich content (up to 6000 characters)

implying that it applies to the entire field

https://discord.com/developers/docs/resources/channel#create-message

[wary rover]

Hello!
Do you know how to close modal after sending the data?

My code runs fine but the modal stays open and shows me a timeout, not cool!

[round rivet]

respond to the interaction

[spice oyster]

You must override the callback() method and, as they said, respond to the interaction.

It's not like, say, Buttons in a View, that can use a random name for their callbacks.

[wary rover]

I can't edit my embed from my callback, otherwise I could have tried to do this.
I should not send a message after sending the modal...
I'll think about it, thanks guys 🙂

[loud holly]

I want to get the whole role if that makes sense

[spice oyster]

Thanks. I was looking for this but couldn't find it.

Pycord should probably mention that in docs, instead of saying 6000 per embed.

[spring drift]

What lib should I use for mysql

Nvm

[viral peak]

is there a way to color a button for only the user that clicks it?

[spice oyster]

No, UI elements are public.

[viral peak]

thought so. thanks

[spice oyster]

You can use an ephemeral response instead.

[glossy socket]

is this command also in pycord?

@commands.has_role('RoleName')

pycharm auto complete doesnt give a has_role function, doing this import:

from python.discord import commands

[raw gust]

How can i make a slashcommand without the wrapper? At the moment i am doing the SlashCommand class manually and it works. But in the Docs it says "decorator or functional interface", but i cant find any function for it. Which function replaces the slashcommand wrapper?

[white scarab]

How can I get from a discord.Interaction the VoiceChannel the user is conected to (if conected to one)?

[raw gust]

Give the parameter a default value.

[white scarab]

You can check if the user who clicked the button is the same if you save the ID of the user who launched the command and compare it with that of the interaction of clicking the button.

[fervent cradle]

Hey, this question might have been asked before I'm not sure but how do I get the guild id of the Guild from which the slash command was sent

(Yes I read the docs, there are 2 references to guilds, I'm not sure what to do here)

[white scarab]

interaction.guild.id contains de id of the guild.

[wary rover]

Do you have any idea how to check in a modal if the value is hexadecimal and if it is not the case that it returns an error?

[fair crescent]

i want to delete the message with a button, but i cant do it ( inside a view)

[cyan quail]

you can't raise custom errors inside of modals without it being dismissed, and all InputText fields are just regular strings

[fair crescent]

i have an timeoit where it can be easily deleted with await self.message.delete() but nothing seem to work here

[waxen whale]

you can't delete ephemeral messages

[glossy socket]

there was some script manager on linux so i can run multiple python files in the background does someone know the name of that?

[spice oyster]

My test bot is able to get user = interaction.message.mentions from a private message between my account and the bot account.
My live bot is not able to do the same from a private message between a random user and the bot account.
To be precise, I get an empty list for the live bot. I don't understand why there is such a difference. Do you have any ideas? Ping me.
Fixed by using user_id = interaction.message.raw_mentions[0] instead. Docs were a bit confusing but they eventually helped.

[spice oyster]

How can I respond to an Interaction (after a Button click) without actually responding?
I just need to mark it as responded to avoid the interaction failed error.
Fixed by adding await interaction.response.edit_message(view = self).

[cyan quail]

just edit the message slightly

yeah

[spice oyster]

What does the pong() command do? I saw it in the docs.

[cyan quail]

responds to ping interactions

which you don't really get

it's just documented for sake of completion

[spice oyster]

Oh, ok! It's a sort of acknowledgement.

[fervent cradle]

Can I get file as an input from user?

[silver moat]

in a slash command, you are looking for discord.Attachment option type

[fervent cradle]

kk

[fervent cradle]

is there a way to resend this image to the user

lLike inorder to send you have to save the image then use the file path and stuff

but I don't want to save the file

[silver moat]

.docslink discord.Attachment

[winter condor]

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

[fervent cradle]

Okay so let me make this clear:
I am making a command in which the user send an attachment to the bot, then the bot somehow saves the attackment to mongoDB (motor) and sends the user a confirmation message..

but before saving I want to test that the image can be resent to the user or not

don't want to save anything on the computer just either directly save or retrieve from the DB

So can someone shed some light on how should I execute these stuff cause I am kinda stupid to understand on my own

[fervent cradle]

await interaction.response.defer()
await interaction.response.send(embeds=[embed])```
I cant repsond to an interaction twice, how do I defer it, if that's the case?

[rugged lantern]

no 🙂

[fervent cradle]

I read the docs and got this

but when I change await.interact.response.send_message(embeds=[embed])
to await.interaction.followup.send(embeds=[embed]) I get this

[fervent cradle]

Actually no

That error was due to me typing ctx.respnd instead send modal

[coarse spire]

ah, ok

[fervent cradle]

Now even though I have followup set, I seem to have the same error

[coarse spire]

😕

[fervent cradle]

Truly sad

[finite flame]

as in it sends the same <main....?

[full basin]

Modals can't be deffered. Must be sent in the first response.

[cobalt tangle]

can commands.Bot() take in owner_id

[finite flame]

it should

https://tenor.com/view/try-it-and-see-give-it-a-try-try-try-and-see-try-it-yourself-gif-24095805

[cobalt tangle]

no work

[finite flame]

then it doesn't

[finite flame]

maybe owner_ids? that's the one I normally use I think

[cobalt tangle]

k

[cobalt tangle]

nop3e

[cobalt tangle]

works for u in commands.Bot?

[finite flame]

it's been some time since I last worked on my bot so I'm not exactly sure anymore

[finite flame]

what exception do you get?

[cobalt tangle]

nvm got it to work

[finite flame]

what was wrong?

[cobalt tangle]

Apparently, VSC does not save the file before running

and it saved when i only typed the o

[cobalt tangle]

I should use Run & Debug...

[finite flame]

I think VSC doesn't save at all on its own? not sure tho, always stopped using it quite fast each time I tried it again

[cobalt tangle]

it does when u use Run & Debug

its just that i hate run & debug cuz it delays stuff

[finite flame]

ah ok

didn't actually know that feature tbh

[cobalt tangle]

ty

[swift pumice]

Hello, so recently, I have been doing some development implementing FastAPI to create a web respose system using an API just for the web pokes, then using the bot to send the message, and I know that in order to run the ASGI manager I use, I have to run it differently using another async function to "serve" the server. Now I was wondering if that was possible through pycord too. Like is there a way that I can make a bot start from an already running async loop?

[fervent cradle]

Goddamn

Wait so

Bruh

[fervent cradle]

Isn't modal for forms and stuff, that usually takes time doesn't it,that's where defer would come in use

[full basin]

What

I think you're confused on what deffering does

When you defer, you're telling Discord you need more time to respond. So, my logic says you should defer on the modal callback.

[fervent cradle]

I have a dropdown menu for my help command and i will get this error relating to it once and awhile in my console. It doesn't impact the bot or command in any way but i would like to stop it from happening if i can. Any ideas?

[fervent cradle]

yes needs more time, filling forms takes time, hence defer, but yea i see your logic thanks

also the pycord website returns this error

nvm fixed

[fervent cradle]

hey kids

remember, when the dudes on stackoverflow or discord say, "read the docs", please read the docs, they're a life saver 👍

[copper dew]

hm never tried running my bot under an ASGI server (probably won't any time soon), so idk if it's even possible to begin with. But for the answer, probably not

[swift pumice]

Im more looking for a way to get it to log in and start functioning. I know that if I can get it to run during the already active loop, then I should be able to load cogs through the event loop. I would just need to know if there was a way with the pycord api to log in the bot and connect it during the active loop. Ik you said probably not, but maybe that wording helps better define what I mean

Is bot.run() an instance of asyncio.run(), if so, then it blocks the async loop, but the async loop has ways to start processes during its time running

[still helm]

in the examplecode of recording audio is the filename the user_id.mp3
I want to add the username, but i don´t understand how to solve this. I don´t understand how the id is generated

    async def finished_callback(self, sink, channel: discord.TextChannel, *args):
        recorded_users = [f"<@{user_id}>" for user_id, audio in sink.audio_data.items()]
        await sink.vc.disconnect()
        files = [
            discord.File(audio.file, f"{user_id}.{sink.encoding}")
            for user_id, audio in sink.audio_data.items()

[swift pumice]

I found it! Its bot.start(token) thank you for the help tho ^^

[drifting sleet]

My paginator is not sent ephemerally along with await ctx.defer(), is it normal behavior?

[tame rose]

ctx.defer() and a paginator?

[drifting sleet]

OK forgot there is ephemeral to defer too

[drifting sleet]

yeah

[tame rose]

What do you do when the slash command doesn't update?

[drifting sleet]

Wait, or just use @slash_command(guild_ids=GUILDS) and GUILDS is a list of Guild ids

[tame rose]

I already had that so ig I'll just wait?

[drifting sleet]

that ephemeral won't work, gonna open a thread

[tame rose]

(Nvm just ask someone cause I'm not sure anyway)

What's the other method of adding options aside from decorators? Something like:

async def poll(self, itrc, \
choice1: discord.option(autocomplete = getframes, required = True), \
choice2: discord.option(autocomplete = getframes, required = True), \
choice3: discord.option(autocomplete = getframes, required = True)):

[drifting sleet]

These are not decorators, just function arguments

although not too pythonic look

[cyan quail]

that's close but

1. should be discord.Option
2. the first positional argument of Option is the type

[tame rose]

So discord.Option(str, autocomplete = getframes, required = True)?

[cyan quail]

yeah

(also required=True is a default so it's not necessary to include)

[tame rose]

Thanks

[tame rose]

I only added it cause to make it consistent

[drifting sleet]

if something's default it's already consistent 🙂

[tame rose]

Consistent look I mean

Is it possible to have variable default value or is it always constant?

[cyan quail]

set default=...

this will also force it to be optional though

[tame rose]

...?

[cyan quail]

being whatever you want

[drifting sleet]

option: discord.Option(str) = "default" also works

[tame rose]

So it also accepts a function?

[cyan quail]

assuming it returns a value, i guess...?

[tame rose]

I see. Thanks

Wait, do I have to keep the bot running until the slash command updates?

[cyan quail]

typically you restart to update slash commands

[tame rose]

I did that for 4 times now

[cyan quail]

what pycord version are you on?

[tame rose]

2.2.2

It shows Invalid interaction application command when I try to use it

[drifting sleet]

I just had that too, maybe some discord stuff

you could try restart your discord

[tame rose]

I did, now it's missing. I guess it's on Discord again

[drifting sleet]

you could start a thread with your code if it happens too often

[gleaming falcon]

General Python question. What's a good way to chain or statements to get something that isn't None (even (especially) if it's 0)?

result = a.get('a') or a.get('b') or a.get('c')

If a is None, b is 0 and c is None, you're still going to get None
I can't cast them to str, because then a would just return literal 'None'

[gleaming falcon]

I guess I can add all the values to a list and use next() to pull the first non-None, if it exists. 🤷‍♂️

resultlist = [a.get('a'), a.get('b'), a.get('c')]
result = next((item for item in resultlist if item is not None), None)

[deep merlin]

Hey!! How do I receive the interactions on the messages sent before the bot restart?

[silver moat]

Message Events are only dispatched by Discord once the client is connected. As a result, that is not possible, but you can fetch the channel history to see past messages.

[spice oyster]

I think you don't need ( , None).

[gleaming falcon]

You do if all items are None; you'd get a StopIteration otherwise. Would rather set default than screw with exception handling

[spice oyster]

True, if that can happen in your case. I didn't consider it.

[cyan quail]

any?

[spice oyster]

No, it would give False if None and 0 are mixed.

[cyan quail]

kinda messy but py any([a.get(x) for x in ['a', 'b', 'c']])

oh wait

i suppose i misunderstood

[spice oyster]

It wasn't clear. They want to differentiate 0 and None.

[cyan quail]

regardless the answer is probably list comprehension

[spice oyster]

Without using next?

[gleaming falcon]

Surprised it's that unclear. I am searching a number of dict items and just want to find the first non-None item, including 0 (which is otherwise false-y)

[cyan quail]

if you don't want it to deal with falsey then you want is not None

[gleaming falcon]

Indeed. Which I did here.

As always, just wanted it as terse as possible. >.>

[spice oyster]

Now I forgot what I needed to ask when I came here.

Oh, right! Is there a way to validate values for Embeds?

I want to deal with whitespaces that, as far as I know, get removed automatically if there are no other characters.

I couldn't find the docs to check how it actually works on Discord side.

[gleaming falcon]

(Unless it's the super-cool zero-length character, which serves as a great hack to get columns)

So what is it that you are actually trying to do, determine if a field title/value has only whitespace?

[spice oyster]

My final objective is to avoid that the Embed doesn't get send because there is an invalid field due to whitespace.

[gleaming falcon]

https://www.tutorialspoint.com/python/string_isspace.htm ?

[spice oyster]

Thanks! That's good enough. Actually, it's perfect because it also works with Enter.

if notes is not None and not notes.isspace():
    embed.add_field(...)

Can I do better than this?

[spice oyster]

Sadly this trick is not good for mobile.

[gleaming falcon]

If there's no reason the field would legitimately have leading/trailing space characters, you could always .strip() it. Then you could simplify the test as if notes:

[spice oyster]

That's probably a better solution. I'll try.

[dull smelt]

hi

I'll probably get a faster solution here so I might as well ask

[spice oyster]

You already have a thread going...

[dull smelt]

yeah

I'll probably get a faster solution here so I might as well ask

[spice oyster]

Just link it then. Same result, less space.

[dull smelt]

#1027467757945630770

[spice oyster]

So, the previous solution ended up being better because I don't need to modify the string. I've shortened it a little but it's basically the same.

if notes and not notes.isspace():
    embed.add_field(...)

[dull smelt]

use the u200b thing instead

one sec

[spice oyster]

I don't think that's good. I need all kind of whitespace to be checked.

[dull smelt]

oh ok

[fervent cradle]

raised an error: AttributeError: 'Verification' object has no attribute 'Verification_slash' why am i getting this error?

class Verification(commands.Cog):  
    def __init__(self, bot):
        self.bot = bot
        self.bot.application_command(name="startverify", cls=discord.SlashCommand)(self.Verification_slash)
verification = discord.Embed(title="Get Verified!", description="Click the button below to get verified and be able to access the entire server!")

        async def startverify(self, ctx):
            ctx.respond(embed = verification, view=Verify)

def setup(bot):
    bot.add_cog(Verification(bot))```
```py

for directory in directories:
    for filename in os.listdir(directory):
        if filename.endswith(".py"):
            bot.load_extension(f"{directory[2:]}.{filename[:-3]}")```

I cant see why, I've googled it, looked around my code, checked docs

(i used to code bots but havent in a while, so im rusty)

[spice oyster]

What is this supposed to do there?

self.bot.application_command(name="startverify", cls=discord.SlashCommand)(self.Verification_slash)

[woeful spindle]

Why is if message.guild.id == MY_SERVER_ID: raising an AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'id'

[spice oyster]

It seems like you don't have intents for that.

[woeful spindle]

I have all intents enabled :)

I’m thinking it’s because someone tried to DM my bot but I’m not 100% sure..

[spice oyster]

I see. It could be.

[jaunty plover]

Hi all. I am newb and trying to write a background task but this task can not send anything to a particular channel. I am afraid that I might miss some Intents settings so I included the screenshots of that part too. I am using py-cord 2.2.0. I have spent a lot of times trying to get this work but nothing seems to work for me. Thank you in advance.

[spice oyster]

I'm not sure what's the problem but you can try the following.

1. Make sure the channel ID you are passing to get_channel() is correct.
2. Do that operation inside on_ready() and use the returned value as self.channel.

[jaunty plover]

Thank you for responding. I am very sure that I use the correct channel ID. But let me try your suggestion for 2.

[fervent cradle]

I was basing it off the example from pycord

[jaunty plover]

I tried 2 and it still failed

I have literally looked at all the search results using google for this issue and I could not fix this

I just basically copy the channel ID there and use it directly in the codes

My bot could respond to commands in this channel so ....

[silver moat]

you also need guild intents for guild channels

[jaunty plover]

Thanks. I just added guilds=True and now it works. Damn it. I spent 1/2 day and could not figure this out. Thanks once again

[spice oyster]

Try using different examples then.

[wary rover]

Hi!
I don't know if it's me who doesn't understand but I can't seem to add a link button.
Do you have a little tutorial or something to help me?

[cyan quail]

you just use view.add_item with discord.ui.Button

if you're trying to use the decorator it won't work

[wary rover]

Something like this?

[cyan quail]

well the button is fine but you kinda missed the point with view

how do you normally define and send a view?

or have you not used them before

[wary rover]

await ctx.respond(embed=embed, view=EditEmbedTools())

[cyan quail]

ah so you subclass

[wary rover]

The idea is to add this button to a list of buttons

But I confess that I don't understand the link

[cyan quail]

well typically you'd do view = discord.ui.View(), then view.add_item(...)

if it's a subclassed view, inside __init__ you could also do self.add_item

[wary rover]

Huuuh

[cyan quail]

if you still don't understand, think of it like embeds

(i hope you've used them at least)

[cyan quail]

ah i see

you want it in between the two? hmmm

[cyan quail]

ok so

...this is probably in the example isn't it

oh well

[wary rover]

Yes, I'd like to add it here, for the moment I've looked at the old messages, it talks about class, super.init etc

[silver moat]

you should add it inside of the subclass still...

[cyan quail]

yeah you basically want to override the default __init__ function and use super().__init__()

[silver moat]

you can then re-order the components with
https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api.html#discord.ui.View.remove_item
and
https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api.html#discord.ui.View.add_item

[cyan quail]

damnit i knew there was an example but the NAMING

kinda close

[errant crane]

Here's the link example.

[cyan quail]

i'd say refer to this example

[silver moat]

what is your current code?

[cyan quail]

well that is indeed what you were looking for

hmm i guess the ordering...

[silver moat]

I imagine that it wouldn't be an issue.

[cyan quail]

well

[silver moat]

since there is only one button on the other row

[cyan quail]

let's say you want the url button after a callback button

.

[silver moat]

yeah, so just specifying the row is enough since calling super().__init__ will initialize the rest.

[cyan quail]

you didn't need to copy the whole class, the point was to use the __init__ functions inside your existing class

[silver moat]

Google is a view, not an Item.

[silver moat]

is that what you wanted?

[wary rover]

Ok it works, but it's not easy to understand the principle

I thought it was going to be before my first button
