Basic Pycord Help (Quick Questions Only)

[silver moat]

if you have any suggestions, feel free to suggest them.

[wary rover]

Why is my button added after my first one? Logically it is in the __init__ so it should be added first, right?

[wary rover]

You must add this on your presentation page of the buttons, it is not easy to understand the first time
https://guide.pycord.dev/interactions/ui-components/buttons/

[silver moat]

because the button's attributes/properties are loaded before the __init__ was called.

[wary rover]

I thought __init__ was absolutely always loaded first

[silver moat]

well, init isn't called until an object created with this class is used.

while the class comes with all those items.

[silver moat]

specifically which part?

[wary rover]

Something like this, just to have the necessary code to display the link button

class ExempleView(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        
        #Add link button
        self.add_item(discord.ui.Button(label="Click Here", url="https://google.com"))
    
    @discord.ui.button(label="Click me!", style=discord.ButtonStyle.success)
    async def button_callback(self, button, interaction):
        await interaction.response.send_message("You clicked the button!")

@silver moat @cyan quail
Thank you so much for taking the time to help me! 🙂

[rotund current]

Is it possible to have the bot check to see if it has the proper permissions in a channel before attempting to post a message?

[silver moat]

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

[wary rover]

When I deactivate buttons, they automatically change place and the link goes first, any idea?

[rotund current]

Thanks!

Tried copying all the lines in this one, replacing what was need to apply to my bot, but when I tried out the commands, and spoke in the VC, I got the error: discord.opus.OpusNotLoaded

After using the /stop command, the console was spammed with the message: Decoder Process Killed

Assuming the /stop error was a direct occurence with discord.opus.OpusNotLoaded, I searched a bunch of articles of how to fix this, but none of the solutions worked

Any ideas?

Full error: py Exception in thread DecodeManager: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/nix/store/2vm88xw7513h9pyjyafw32cps51b0ia1-python3-3.8.12/lib/python3.8/threading.py", line 932, in _bootstrap_inner self.run() File "/home/runner/Recron/venv/lib/python3.8/site-packages/discord/opus.py", line 545, in run data.decoded_data = self.get_decoder(data.ssrc).decode(data.decrypted_data) File "/home/runner/Recron/venv/lib/python3.8/site-packages/discord/opus.py", line 564, in get_decoder self.decoder[ssrc] = Decoder() File "/home/runner/Recron/venv/lib/python3.8/site-packages/discord/opus.py", line 440, in __init__ _OpusStruct.get_opus_version() File "/home/runner/Recron/venv/lib/python3.8/site-packages/discord/opus.py", line 373, in get_opus_version raise OpusNotLoaded() discord.opus.OpusNotLoaded

apparently, adding discord.opus.load_opus() does not work, since it requires one positional argument name. However, multiple sources say that it does not need a name

[unreal ibex]

how do i take string args in slash command?
async def dumb(ctx,idea:str):

[gleaming falcon]

It has to be an instance of discord.Option, so

from discord import Option

async def dumb(
  ctx: discord.ApplicationContext,
  idea: Option(str, "Description", ...)
)

You can do it with decorator, too, but it's a bit too cluttered for my taste.

https://github.com/Pycord-Development/pycord/blob/master/examples/app_commands/slash_options.py#L13

[glossy sand]

AttributeError: module 'discord.commands.permissions' has no attribute 'is_user'

My bot was written in version 2.0.05b, I'm trying to rewrite to the latest version, since permissions was changed, how do you know check if the discord user using a slash command has a certain ID?

Also where do I find how many things have changed since that version?

[tribal bough]

Got some error while download pycord

[sinful osprey]

How do people go about implementing multiline input considering we still don't have that built into slash commands? Can either add a separator to split text on or add a reply listener? Any better ideas?

[tender seal]

How do I attach files to a message using Slash Commands?

[tender seal]

I'm guessing..
you can look for the U+2424 unicode character in the message

U+2424 is the newline character

in a for loop

you'd check every character

[spice oyster]

You need to convert oldest to date() before comparing it at the end.

[tender seal]

if it isn't U+2424 add it to the string

and if it is, just add ```python
f'\n'

[spice oyster]

oldest = datetime.today().date()

[sinful osprey]

I mean the problem is that you can't enter multiline text in a slash command to begind with, it's currently still only single line (with planned(?) support for multiline input being talked about half a year ago)

[tender seal]

oh, you mean that

well..

I guess

you could add a separator string

to indicate a new line

[spice oyster]

You have to send/edit a message with file and attachment parameters. Search for them in the docs.

[tender seal]

thx

[tender seal]

would I be able to do that with ctx.respond, though?

[spice oyster]

Can't you use a Modal instead?

[spice oyster]

Yes, I use it for my bot.

[tender seal]

I know you're gonna say

[tender seal]

oh

ok I'll try that

[spice oyster]

Only if I don't remember well.

[sinful osprey]

.respond doesn't list the params, but .send_message does https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api.html#discord.InteractionResponse.send_message

Forgot what the other method was (edit: it's followup), but respond is just a property/convinience alias so you don't have to use a specific one

[spice oyster]

Then that part was fine and I didn't see it well. I don't know what's wrong.

You could also try this, together with the previous suggestion, although I feel like there is a better solution.

if msg.created_at.date() < oldest:

[tender seal]

hey uh

how would I make a my bot look like it's typing?

and is it possible to hide the person who used a slash command

that sucks

how exactly

I'm a newbie

[tranquil thunder]

what does this mean?

[dull smelt]

what were you trying to do?

it comes up when you try to make the bot send message.embeds and the embed is from the bot itself

[fervent cradle]

what type of errors are logged with the logging module of py-cord

file errors or anything like that have not been logged, so i dont understand which errors will get logged

[lost lodge]

how to get the member that send the context

[proud mason]

ctx.author

can i use interaction.response.edit_message if I have deferred the response?

how else do i edit the original msg if i have deferred?

(its a button)

[dull smelt]

hello

How can I check whether someone responds to my modal or just presses cancel?

[lost lodge]

how can i check if a user have a permission (not with @commands.has_permission())

[spice oyster]

You sent an Embed as content. When sending/editing the message, you need to write embeds = [embed] as parameter or something like that, depending on the rest of your code.

[dull smelt]

for a response I have used async def callback and that works but I can't understand how to see if someone pressed cancel

[spice oyster]

I don't think that's possible, so you need to find a different way to get what you need. Why do you need that?

[fringe socket]

Yes you can. Basically, make the bot use ctx.send instead of ctx.respond, then add an additional response using ctx.respond ephemerally. Not very efficient, but it works.

[spice oyster]

I would say it's also not ideal because it hides who is spamming in chat by using that command. Consider adding a cooldown when doing so.

[dull smelt]

ok

[fringe socket]

Exactly why I don't suggest it elite

[dull smelt]

i'll make a thread incase someone knows a way

[spice oyster]

If you explain what your final result should be, maybe we can find a workaround.

[fringe socket]

But just in case you still want to...

async def command(ctx):
     ctx.send('<response you want>')
     ctx.respond('<doesn't matter what you put here>',ephemeral=True)

[dull smelt]

uh, come to #1028255197375504385

[naive steppe]

is there a way to make the "waiting for response" timeout longer than 10 seconds?

or would i have to send a message and just edit it after the desired result executes

[spice oyster]

For doing what, exactly? Are you already using defer?

[naive steppe]

no
so i have a command like /build_users

it gets all users and puts into a text doc

tho while it does that it ends up timing out and then not sending when getting to ctx.respond since its no longer an alive command

[spice oyster]

Try with defer then.

[naive steppe]

defer?

[spice oyster]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api.html?highlight=interaction#discord.ApplicationContext.defer

[naive steppe]

thank you

perfect

[errant crane]

Here's the slash cog example.

[hollow vale]

Is there any docs for permissions in bridge commands?

[fervent cradle]

    def __init__(self, bot):
        self.bot = bot
     

class Verify(discord.ui.View): 
    @discord.ui.button(label="Verify Me", style=discord.ButtonStyle.primary, emoji="🤝") 
    async def button_callback(self, button, interaction):

        verification = discord.Embed(title="Get Verified!", description="Click the button below to get verified and be able to access the entire server!")
        @commands.command(name="startverify", description="Start The Verification Progress")
        async def startverify(self,ctx):
             await interaction.response.send_message(self,ctx,embed = verification, view=Verify())
             print("e")``` Why isnt the section after verification = being run? the print was for a test to check, and it isnt being run (the startverify is greyed out)

[young bone]

Why do you use interaction.response.send_message in a prefix command and self, ctx

[fervent cradle]

i had ctx.respond before, i changed it to interaction whilst trying to fix ut

it*

and its a slash command

self is cause its in a cog and is self.bot = bot

[young bone]

But you use commands.command

[fervent cradle]

should it be commands.slash_command?

[young bone]

Yes

[fervent cradle]

I changed it, Its still greyed out

[young bone]

And than ctx.respond()

[fervent cradle]

I have changed both thanks, although still greyed out ill restart the bot and see if it works

dosent work, no slash command

I think it might be an indentation error but im not sure

@young bone

[lost lodge]

Hello, why my \n are not hidden and don't do a new line in my embed?

[sinful pivot]

I've been trying to use asyncio.sleep() for adding a 24 hour time delay since I have a poll type of thing with dropdowns(on discord) and it just seems to not sleep at all. It just expires after like 4 minutes, what's the best way to sleep?

[fringe socket]

AFAIK, I don't think you can do multiple lines in embeds for a single value. Not sure, though.

[fervent cradle]

anyone ?

[fringe socket]

Move the @commands.command to the start of the line.

[fervent cradle]

shouldnt it be inline with the def in the first class?

    def __init__(self, bot):
        self.bot = bot
     

class Verify(discord.ui.View): 
    @discord.ui.button(label="Verify Me", style=discord.ButtonStyle.primary, emoji="🤝") 
    async def button_callback(self, button, interaction):

verification = discord.Embed(title="Get Verified!", description="Click the button below to get verified and be able to access the entire server!")
@commands.slash_command(name="startverify", description="Start The Verification Progress")
async def startverify(self,ctx:discord.ApplicationContext):
    await ctx.respond(self,embed = verification, view=Verify())``` its this now,

[fringe socket]

Not sure tbh. Kinda new to Pycord still learnng

[fervent cradle]

im not super new, im not expereinced though but havent coded in pycord for a while

[spice oyster]

You need to indent the second and third block of code by 1 level.

[lost lodge]

that should work

[fervent cradle]

Im not sure if this is right, but now i get verify is undefined (probably cause of another indentation error)

[proud pagoda]

Your verification command needs to be within the verification cog, not hte verify view

[livid salmon]

This is definitely less a python specific question and more towards Discord programming in general, but is there any way to make good, large tables in Discord without the formatting breaking on mobile??

Embeds don't work, since they only go up to three columns on PC and only one on mobile. I tried making ASCII tables using the codeblock formatting as well but that can only go so wide too.

[spice oyster]

Correct. I messed up while explaining how to fix it.

[cyan quail]

not really, mobile is ultimately the limiting factor

i guess you could render it as an image and upload it but that would seem pretty stupid on the user end

[livid salmon]

Yeah, that was one of my options of last recourse. Either that or writing values to like a google spreadsheet and sending the user that link.

[storm hinge]

is it possible to find the message that the command is replying to?
for example,
A sends a message, B replies to A's message and B's replying message is a bot command (like !help)
responding to B's command, is it possible to fetch A's message?

[livid salmon]

I guess continuing, does anyone know if Discord has a standard size for mobile formatting? Like if I made a table that fit on my phone, would it break if someone with a really tiny phone looked at it still?

[silver moat]

you can use discord.ext.commands decorators

[cyan quail]

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

[storm hinge]

thanks

[ionic snow]

How can I make a slash response only visible to the user who sent the command?

[dull smelt]

ctx.respond('whatever', ephemeral = True)

@ionic snow

[ionic snow]

Thanks

[ionic snow]

It's misspelled just checked it's ephemeral=True

[fervent cradle]

Can webhooks be server-wide, or at least post to multiple channels?

[dull smelt]

oh yes that

[cyan quail]

don't think so

[silver moat]

webhook.edit has a channel arg

[fervent cradle]

[cyan quail]

that requires discord-sided authentication though

[silver moat]

hmm true

[cyan quail]

webhooks being able to post to any channel would be like

the antithesis of their purpose

[fervent cradle]

[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 = [

            for user_id, audio in sink.audio_data.items()

[fervent cradle]

how do I implement this with a slash command

@bot.command()
async def upload_file(ctx):
    attachment_url = ctx.message.attachments[0].url
    file_request = requests.get(attachment_url)
    print(file_request.content)```

[umbral island]

Can someone help with getting a user banner url. Ive tried some methods found on google but it for some reason it gives a nontype error for the user when using member.banner.url
I am getting member from a discord option in the command member: discord.Option(discord.Member, description="The User In The Guild.", required=False)
ERROR:
'NoneType' object has no attribute 'banner'

I know that the member object is not nontype because I can get the user avatar url just fine.

Using pycord version 2.2.2

[ionic snow]

Is there a way to check if the bot and the author in the same channel? I only have ctx available since it's commands.check annotation for commands

[woeful spindle]

Are your sure your providing a member in the slash command option? If so, make sure to fetch the user afterwards to get their banner. Banners can only be obtained if you fetch the user as the docs say.

Also, make sure the user actually has a banner. The plain banners provided by discord don’t actually count as banners - you need a custom one!

[umbral island]

ill try with the fetch_user metho

and dont worry I have a custom

MotorDatabase object is not callable. If you meant to call the 'fetch_user' method on a AsyncIOMotorClient object it is failing because no such method exists.

I must be doing it wrong

try: banner_url = Client.fetch_user(member)
except AttributeError: banner_url = Client.fetch_user(ctx.author)```

[woeful spindle]

1. fetch_user() is asynchronous, it needs to be awaited.
2. You have to provide a user ID when using fetch_user()
3. banner_url is now your user object.
   Here’s a quick example:

@commands.command()
async def banner(self, ctx):
    me = await self.bot.fetch_user(ctx.author.id)
    await ctx.send(me.banner.url)

[umbral island]

ah i sees

ty ty

[woeful spindle]

Of course :)

[umbral island]

finally got it, thank you!

[lost lodge]

Hello
I have the problem that when i have a \n from a arg in a embed it just doesn't works. Can anyone solve that problem?

Re-do your indentation

[rare ice]

[fervent cradle]

is there a method to change bot's profile picture?

[vast tusk]

hey so im trying to make a user info command it worked well, but when i convert it to a slash command i got this error AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'created_at'

[full basin]

What did you define as user

[vast tusk]

ctx.author

[spice oyster]

Try something like this.

user_ids = [user_id for user_id, audio in sink.audio_data.items()]
usernames = [await self.bot.fetch_user(user_id) for user_id in user_ids]

[cyan quail]

use bot.user.edit

[silver moat]

how are you giving your arguments

[lost lodge]

"!"project_add link title this is the description

[silver moat]

feel free to open an issue on github

[patent escarp]

Ok

[silver moat]

could you print the value of description

[lost lodge]

yes

[lost lodge]

dajns ajsndjan \n sajd ashbd

[silver moat]

that’s the output for print(description) ?

[lost lodge]

ye

[silver moat]

python don’t recognize that escape character

[lost lodge]

ik

[silver moat]

try removing spaces?

[lost lodge]

doesn't work either

[cyan quail]

that's a prefix command, right? don't bother with \n, just use actual line breaks

[lost lodge]

?

[cyan quail]

description is your final command argument

[lost lodge]

aha

and how to fix it?

[cyan quail]

so instead of typing \n like \n this you can
type
like
this

[lost lodge]

ah

ok

[cyan quail]

if i had to guess, something is pre-emptively escaping the character for you

[lost lodge]

that works thanks

[lost lodge]

i have a other question

[cyan quail]

go on

[silver moat]

i think you can use
description = repr(description)

[lost lodge]

i have the problem that i have a runtime error with that:

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
    print("-------------------")
    print(f"Logged in as {bot.user.name}")
    print("-------------------")
    print(f'Ping » {round(bot.latency*1000)} ms')

    await asyncio.sleep(20)```

[lost lodge]

ok

[cyan quail]

ehh

idk the ratelimit for change_presence but isn't it pretty low?

anyway what's the actual error

[young bone]

20 seconds should be fine

[lost lodge]

i need to wait... it's ok to ping you when i have it?

[cyan quail]

sure

[lost lodge]

thx

[fervent cradle]

still unable to create slash commands

it doesn't show up

[fervent cradle]

in the slash commands list

[young bone]

did you invite the bot with application.commands?

[fervent cradle]

I fixed it. The capital "P" caused the issue it seems.

[young bone]

oh, ye you cannot use capital letters in a command

[fervent cradle]

How to edit an ephemeral slash command response message?

or it's not possible?

[cyan quail]

interaction.edit_original_message (ctx.edit in commands)

[fast totem]

hey. i need help.
some error with await bot.sync_commands()

code

[spice oyster]

The error is somewhere else. Make sure all your commands have an unique name.

[proud pagoda]

two of your application commands have the same name

So you need to change the name of one of them

[fast totem]

slash command & bridge command?

check all slash, bridge commands name

[spice oyster]

What's the best way to turn "140~180 seconds (other text here)" into "2:20~3:00 minutes (other text here)"? Is it possible to do it without using Regex? I need to do that for every string in a list. Some strings in the list have 2 blocks like that, separated by "\n".

[silver moat]

if they are seperated by the same amount of spaces/same characters, you can use .split()

[spice oyster]

Can I do something like .split("~ ")?

[silver moat]

yes

[fast totem]

I found the cause.
one command with guild_ids set to multiple servers now, and it seems to recognize this command as duplicates.
Is there any way to solve it?

[spice oyster]

It's a bit more complex than that. 😦

[cyan quail]

without using Regex
regex

it's not particularly scary either, just test it with a site like regex101 beforehand

but if you know the formatting is gonna be consistent then split will work either way

[spice oyster]

I'm more than familiar with it already. I said without it because I used to overuse it. Maybe in this case is better because the alternative solution is just too much code.

[cyan quail]

is there an example of like, a set of these strings you need to parse?

since you were saying it isn't as simple as split

[spice oyster]

timings = [
    "140~180 - 2 * X:00 seconds (after Cavalry death)",
    "80~110 seconds (after Tribute capture)\n150~190 seconds (after Curse end)",
    "185 seconds (after Nukes collection)"
]

These are the 3 types that are in the list. I need to convert from seconds to minutes, or from minutes to seconds. It doesn't matter which one I use as a base.

[cyan quail]

that's certainly interesting

is it always seconds?

[spice oyster]

Yes, it's either all seconds or all minutes in the list.

[cyan quail]

i'd say uhh

[spice oyster]

Now I'm using two separate lists for each version but I'd like to set up a conversion.

[cyan quail]

- 2 * X:00 seconds
does this part matter

[spice oyster]

Yes, it gives important information to the reader.

That part is not going to be converted, though.

[cyan quail]

ah ok that makes it easier

i guess .split()[0] to remove everything after the numbers

then you can attempt to .split("~")

[spice oyster]

for timing in timings:
    values = []
    values.append(timing.split(" ")[0])
    if "\n" in timing:
        values.append(timing.split("\n")[0].split(" ")[0].split("~"))
    else:
        values.append(timing.split(" ")[0].split("~"))
for value in values:
    minutes, seconds = value // 60, value % 60
    value = f"{minutes}:{seconds}"

[cyan quail]

and convert each item in that list

well yeah that's fine

it's ultimately using splits or regex

there's probably some lib out there that'll magically parse it for you but it's likely not worth the effort

[spice oyster]

It's not working. I'm going with Regex because it's easier.

[dusty wraith]

Is it possible to "reregister" all slash commands without restarting the entire bot? I have a reload command that reloads all cogs, but if I make any new slash commands, they don't register with Discord.

[rotund current]

Is it possible to get a ApplicationContext out of an AutocompleteContext?

[spice oyster]

Done! What else can I improve? I couldn't make it work without using a temp list.

if format == "Minutes":
    temp = []
    for timing in timings:
        values_in_seconds = re.findall("[0-9]+", timing)
        values_in_minutes = [f"{(int(value) // 60):02}:{(int(value) % 60):02}" for value in values_in_seconds if int(value) > 2]
        for value_in_seconds, value_in_minutes in zip(values_in_seconds, values_in_minutes):
            timing = timing.replace(value_in_seconds, value_in_minutes)
        temp.append(timing.replace("seconds", "minutes"))
    timings = temp

[spice oyster]

I don't think so, but you have access to interaction, which should be enough. What do you need that for?

[spice oyster]

Try using await bot.sync_commands(). I've found it in docs. Never used.

[rotund current]

After I posted the message I looked closer at the docs and realized that, so I am good. Thanks for the reply though.

[spice oyster]

Good but notify others when you find a solution.

[dusty wraith]

It gives me a duplicate commands error.

[spice oyster]

Try passing force = True in it but keep in mind it's way easier to hit rate limits this way.

[cyan quail]

nah it's a lib issue

but if i'm not mistaken, you can fix it by doing bot._pending_application_commands = [] before sync_commands

[fallow hawk]

are heartbeats broken for anyone else?

[cyan quail]

you might be better off asking a doctor about that

[undone estuary]

or smoke weed instead

[fallow hawk]

[dusty wraith]

Would I do those after loading the cogs or before?

[cyan quail]

before

(i don't think it matters too much but just to be safe i suppose)

[dusty wraith]

The cogs haven't reloaded yet though.

[cyan quail]

?

clear pending list > reload cogs > sync commands

[dusty wraith]

Ah, okay. I'll try that. Thanks.

[livid salmon]

Is there any way to do variable length arguments with slash/bridge commands?

[gleaming falcon]

Modal follow up?
(Oops. Apparently discord is showing me super old messages. Apologies if duplicate suggestion)

[gleaming falcon]

Sadly I don’t believe so, because the entire method details are registered to discord. Same reason Choices are static unless you use autocomplete

My thought for doing something like that is to build a pseudo-dict (ie:

my_arg1: enter_value
my_arg2: enter_value

and put it as the value in a modal for users to replace. Then simply build a parser for that.

Ugly and prone to breakage, but I feel like it’d work, depending on use case

[livid salmon]

Damn, sad. Thanks anyways though

[surreal glade]

When i add the reaction, nothing happens on the bots end, no errors or anything, yet it does not add the role that i want

[silver moat]

do you have reaction intents?

[surreal glade]

just added them

testing now

@silver moat still doesnt work

[silver moat]

does the event fire at all?

lemme check by putting a print

yea it fires

can you check if guild is None, which conditions pass, and what members is?

you can just bot.get_guild(id)

[gleaming falcon]

Dumb question - paginators (i.e. dropdowns with buttons) can be added to regular messages, or only slash interactions?

In other words, could someone use a 'legacy' command and get a message (non-ephemeral, obvs) with a View?
(It's late, apologies for clunky wording)

[edit: nm, https://guide.pycord.dev/interactions/ui-components/dropdowns implies yes]

[surreal glade]

@round rivet

ur the only other person i could think of that would know this

[undone falcon]

what would be a great database to use with a small bot, that is easy to set up ?

[copper dew]

SQLite3 (probably would want to use the aiosqlite driver as well)

[undone falcon]

i was think that but I saw there was no support for await. Would it affect badly ?

[copper dew]

the std sqlite lib is blocking, which means it basically doesn't support asyncio. what i would recommend is not to use the std sqlite lib, and instead use aiosqlite (https://pypi.org/project/aiosqlite/), which is a async driver and interface for sqlite databases (aiosqlite is made to support asyncio btw)

[undone falcon]

I see that is a very interresting option ! Thanks you !

[copper dew]

np !

[undone falcon]

I will certainly be better than using pickle !

😅

[plush meadow]

hi everyone! forgive me if this is a common question. I'm kinda deep using discord.py, and i've just found out that pycord even exists. how much is changed? will I have trouble just swapping out my import statement?

[copper dew]

i would recommend reading the v2 migration guide and the changelogs for v2 as well. a ton of stuff changed

[plush meadow]

son of a gun

looks like i'm at square one

[copper dew]

most of the stuff is still the same, but with some tweaks. creating slash commands and stuff are completely different from dpy irc

[plush meadow]

i don't have any intricate stuff, mostly just sending messages and embeds at the moment

i guess i'll swap and run, and start putting out fires

thank you for the insanely fast response btw, much appreciated

[undone falcon]

Is it possible to know what slash commands failed, with what parameters ?

[copper dew]

np

[copper dew]

im not sure how tbh

[silver moat]

docs

[tame rose]

Why does the bot don't add cogs when it's put inside the on_ready() event?

[copper dew]

u have to load the cogs (using bot.load_extension), and that already happens during startup (before the bot is even ready)

[tame rose]

Not bot.add_cog()?

[copper dew]

that is used at the end of each cog (during the setup func)

[tame rose]

What

🤔

from sample import Example
import discord

bot = discord.Bot()

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
    print('Ready')

bot.add_cog(Example(bot))
bot.run('token')

This is what I'm using rn. Is thing wrong?

[copper dew]

probably would look like this:

from sample import Example
import discord

bot = discord.Bot()

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
    print('Ready')

bot.load_extension("Cog") # assumes that your cog is named Cog.py, and is in the same directory as your bot file
bot.run('token')

and at the end of each cog:

example.py

from discord.commands import commands

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

def setup(bot):
    bot.add_cog(Example(bot))

with this, only the user object is given, not the name

What does the | mean here? Code from Pycord.

        timeout: float | None = None,
    ) -> None:
        self.timeout: float | None = timeout

And why do the docs not show that Modals have a timeout parameter?

Can you pip freeze and share the results?

[dull smelt]

[spice oyster]

Uninstall discord==2.0.0, discord.py==2.0.1, py-cord=2.0.1. After that, install py-cord=2.2.2. Restart your console and editor if needed.

I don't remember if they fixed it in the last minor version. Let me see.

I can't find that information. Just try if it works. If not, downgrade.

The important part is that you get rid of other libraries and reinstall Pycord, whatever version you want.

Try replacing it with original_response().

because on_ready can fire multiple times

like that:

you could just invert the logic and remove the else

[spice oyster]

That's not enough but at this point I give up. Find where that interaction comes from and name it appropriately. I suppose doing interaction.interaction where you get the error will fix it but you would still have the wrong name. Good luck.

[still helm]

How to get the name from this:

[<User id=707919780467965956 name='C1trix' discriminator='5689' bot=False>]

[ionic snow]

Can you center a footer in the embed? ( I want the footer to always center itself according to the message )

[full basin]

Looks like a user object

So just access the attribute

[full basin]

No

[still helm]

should be user.name but gives me

Unresolved attribute reference 'name' for class 'list'

or am i wrong?

[rugged lantern]

count the characters and place the corresponding amount of invisible characters in the footer's text to make it centered

[spice oyster]

I don't recommend doing this because it would look bad on mobile.

[ionic snow]

Tnx!

[shrewd dome]

means it could either be of the types supplied

iirc

[rugged lantern]

i mean it would be the only way to do it, no?

[spice oyster]

Yes, but I think it's worse than keeping it on the side.

[full basin]

If it's an object in a list. You first index it

[rugged lantern]

it was a direct answer to their request, not that i would ever spam a footer with \u200b or whatever it is

[ionic snow]

Is it possible to get guild's voice client? I wanna check if the bot is currently playing audio in a custom check

[still helm]

how to?

[full basin]

Indexes..

Lists...

Basic python

[still helm]

But ... this is not a list?

a list looks like this :
["apple", "banana", "cherry", "apple", "cherry"]

i have this
[<User id=707919780467965956 name='C1trix' discriminator='5689' bot=False>]

[ionic snow]

It's a list of objects

In the first my_list[0] = "apple"
In the second my_list[0] = <User id=707919780467965956 name='C1trix' discriminator='5689' bot=False>

in Python you can have a list which can contain all kinds of objects, from int to string

[still helm]

so it is my_list[0]["name"] to get to the username?

[full basin]

no

my_list[0].name

You're access an object attribute

[ionic snow]

In json it's like this

[full basin]

But this ain't json

[ionic snow]

I know, just saying

[still helm]

Ahhhh i´m sorry. i never see an object in a list before so this was very new to me

[ionic snow]

Did you learn about classes?

Did you learn how you create and handle classes in python? If not it's highly advised to do so before jumping to bots in python

[still helm]

the most things i´ve learned is by programming my python bot 😄

[ionic snow]

So jump on youtube and learn about the classes, conditions, async functions, variables, comprehansions, dictionaries, etc... It'll help you a lot

[still helm]

i did this for 3 years now and the most time it works good. but i know there are a lot of things to learn.

but there is work, family, hobby and so on 😄

[ionic snow]

Still, highly advised to at least learn the beginning of python just so you know the fundamentals of it

[still helm]

i know i know 😦

[ionic snow]

👍

[still helm]

But thanks for the help, that was very educational for me

[ionic snow]

Feel free to dm me whenever you need help!

[still helm]

thank you 🙂

        else:

    except discord.errors.InteractionResponded:
        return await self.followup.send(*args, **kwargs)```

[cyan quail]

i guess one reason to not use respond is that it might be ambiguous as to whether you got interaction or webhookmessage back, which could lead to confusion later on in your code

but if you know you've responded in your code before then it's guaranteed to be WebhookMessage every subsequent time

[spice oyster]

That's exactly what I was thinking about. I saw that in the docs and was wondering if there was something else I didn't consider.

[cold hamlet]

What's the max length of an autocomplete response?

[silver moat]

each individual response is the same as the option objects

[cold hamlet]

i meant as in the values

Like what's the maximum length of a string my autocomplete function can return

[silver moat]

the same as every option: 32

[cold hamlet]

oh okay thanks

[cyan quail]

? i don't think this is right

pretty sure it's 100

[silver moat]

they're talking about the name field, no?

[cyan quail]

they're saying response so i was assuming the value

[silver moat]

https://discord.com/developers/docs/interactions/application-commands#application-command-object-application-command-option-structure

[cyan quail]

right, the option name itself is max 32 but all choice names/values are max 100

[harsh dust]

every time I use view.on_timeout to remove a view at the end of the timeout on a message that has an attachment, the attachment gets deleted from discords servers and I have no clue why

which is forcing me to ditch view.on_timeout and keep the view there

[silver moat]

Maybe a Discord bug?

[harsh dust]

but other bots have this feature and they have no problem

To me this seems like a py-cord issue but i wouldnt know

and this only happened after i transferred to slash commands

[silver moat]

show code ty

[harsh dust]

with save_image_data("graph", rendered) as file:
    msg = await respond(ctx, file=file, view=view)

async def timeout():
    try:
        await msg.edit(view=None)
    except:
        pass

# view.on_timeout = timeout

One example of many other commands that have this

[proud mason]

if i defer a response from a button interaction, is it necessary that i send a followup message?

i need to edit the original message, and works without deferring and using interaction.responsee.edit_message. But i have some i/o and db stuff going on so i thought it would be a good idea to defer it. But docs say this- (image)

according to that sentence, i have to send a followup msg for InteractionResponseType.deferred_message_update and not for deferred_channel_message

currently im deferring and then using interaction.edit_original_message

[young bone]

The last news I heard was that it crash on mobile

[gleaming falcon]

IIRC, after that was discussed they clarified that 'v2' was for slash commands first and only then will they work on adding it for Modals (because v2 will allegedly add new types)

[silver moat]

yeah. but they will be implementing them in modals soon after that

[gleaming falcon]

For Discord-defined values of "soon" after 😬

At least it's on the list, that's all I can expect at this point.

[silver moat]

yeah ig

[proud mason]

uhh anyone?

[silver moat]

yes?

try it and see

[proud mason]

it works. my questiton is will say application did not respond or smth after 15 mins

probably not

How can I delete the message in which the view was sent when clicking on the view?

[spice oyster]

await interaction.message.delete() maybe?

I’ve added a discord.SlashCommandGroup to my cog, but it isn’t being added to the commands list? It doesn’t show up in discord nor the internal command list?

Adding it manually in __init__ via bot.add_app_command makes it throw an error too (TypeError: Parameter limit does not match input type of ctx., my argument order is correct)

[cold hamlet]

FFR I overwrote the on_connect function and forgot to call super()

So no commands were being created

any reason that this wont work in a cog?
the cog is loaded corretly i have a command in there that works

I'm trying to make a slash command with a variable containing a selectable list of players in a database. Whenever the list updates though the list of player names doesn't change, even though choices= is set to the command to get the list of player names from the database. Is there any way to do this so it does update?

# spreadsheet.
range_ = f"{ratings_sheet}!A:A"

@bot.slash_command(name="recent_scores", description="Gets the 20 most recent "
                                                     "scores for a specific "
                                                     "player.")
# choices= gets all player names in the database, sorted in alphabetical order.
# The player names are embedded in a one-element long list, so we just need the
# first element to get the list of players.
async def pullscores(ctx, player_name:
                     discord.Option(description="Enter the player name",
                                    choices=sorted([name[0] for name in get_values_from_sheet(DATABASE_SHEET_ID, range_)]))):

[obtuse junco]

Saying it doesn't work or asking what's wrong with this code? is not helpful for yourself or others.
Describe what you expect and/or tried (with your code), and what isn't going right.
Please provide any errors you get for optimal assistance.

[silver moat]

you can use autocomplete instead

[frozen salmon]

No error, I tried to make an modal but it just says something went wrong

[silver moat]

you don't need self. My guess is that interaction is None

nvm

[frozen salmon]

oh

[silver moat]

interaction.send doesn't exist.

I am recently switching from disnake

Whats the difference?

interaction.send doesn't exist. You should respond the an interaction with something in interaction.response

[livid salmon]

How does the autocomplete work differently from choices? Are there any examples to illustrate it?

[silver moat]

choices are static options (non-alterable)

[livid salmon]

Just replacing choices with it makes a menu pop up like choices does, but it seems to time out with no results, even if I type something in

[errant crane]

Here's the slash autocomplete example.

[frozen salmon]

Same issue.

[silver moat]

remove the try-except in the Modal callback and see what errors are raised.

[frozen salmon]

Yeah, Im doing that now

[frozen salmon]

Still no error.

[silver moat]

what is your current code?

[silver moat]

2 issues:
Your Modal's callback should be inline with the constructor (__init__) and you are still missing a response within the callback.

[livid salmon]

Just got it working by following the example's syntax. Thank you so much.

[fervent cradle]

hey quick question, is there an event that triggers when someone boosts the server?

[silver moat]

nope.

[fervent cradle]

ty

[frozen salmon]

ok

[frozen salmon]

Didnt work, and my modals callback, was already inline discord just formatted it that way

[silver moat]

did you add a response?

[frozen salmon]

yes

[silver moat]

what type of response was it?

[frozen salmon]

a message, i sent hey

await interaction.response.send_message('hey')

[young bone]

Can you not check if a user boost the server if the user get the Server booster role?

[frozen salmon]

hes requested an event, thats not an event.

[silver moat]

not a direct event, but yeah, that is a workaround I overlooked.

[young bone]

you could check with the on_member_update event

[frozen salmon]

Its not an direct event, but it would work

[silver moat]

so the user sees "Something went wrong. Try again"?

[frozen salmon]

yes

[silver moat]

no errors?

[frozen salmon]

no

[silver moat]

I'm wondering if the error was caught in on_application_command_error and not raised

[marble nova]

are emojis in the responses messed up? I do await interaction.response.send_message(f"{emoji}") and it just shows :emojiname: but when I do await interaction.message.reply(f"{emoji}" it works fine.

[silver moat]

yeah, Discord uses @everyone permissions for that

[frozen salmon]

Squid, you find anything wrong?

[round rivet]

they changed it

iirc

[silver moat]

i don't think so.

[marble nova]

the bot has admin tho

[round rivet]

since july

[silver moat]

What about the bot's default role

[marble nova]

yep

[lost lodge]

Hello how can i get a emoji and add a reaction with it

[spice oyster]

No but you can look for the automatic message saying that in chat.

[glossy socket]

so i can instantiate the bot from another file

[lost lodge]

heeeeelpppp

[ionic snow]

Is there a way to make an argument have a strict format? ( like hhss and the user won't be able to execute the command if it's not that same format )

[spice oyster]

You can try with autocomplete, else just validate the input after.

[ionic snow]

You know like in slash commands if you don't follow a strict format it won't even send? ( like trying to put a string when I ask for int or member or something ) That's what I want to do just have a custom msg and a custom format

[glossy socket]

how can i add slash commands to the bot class itself like this?

from discord import Option, slash_command

class Bot(discord.Bot):
  
  @slash_command
  def slash(self):
    pass

the slash commands dont work in the server this way

[spice oyster]

@ionic snow I understood. Try with autocomplete or split the field in 3 parts (hours, minutes, seconds).

[lost lodge]

plssssss helppp

[spice oyster]

Instead of asking every 90 minutes, do this and check if someone asked the same question. You are welcome.

[ionic snow]

Anybody knows if I can change the red message to a custom one in case the value gets an error?

[lost lodge]

I can‘t find anything (btw i wanna send a custom emoji)

[ionic snow]

bot.command, you have this in the quick starting guide

import discord

bot = discord.Bot()

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
    print(f"We have logged in as {bot.user}")

@bot.slash_command(guild_ids=[your, guild_ids, here])
async def hello(ctx):
    await ctx.respond("Hello!")

bot.run("your token here")

Just search it

[ionic snow]

await ctx.message.add_reaction(emoji='')

Something like that

[lost lodge]

It works with a normal emoji but with a custom emoji not

[ionic snow]

Well because it's a custom emoji, I don't think you can put custom emojis

[lost lodge]

You can

[glossy socket]

the whole thing is that i dont want to do it like that

i want to run the bot from another file

[ionic snow]

You mean cogs?

?paste

[glossy socket]

idk how its called but i want to have a main.py file where i can import the class of the bot

and call bot.run from there

[ionic snow]

https://pastebin.com/RceewUvM
It's called cogs, you basically create another file and then you have to load it

[errant crane]

https://pastebin.com/raw/RceewUvM

[glossy socket]

okay thanks! im going to check it out

[ionic snow]

In the bot itself you can do bot.loadextension(name="file name or folder containing lots of files") which will load the files

Type cogs in the documentation it will help you more than me

[glossy socket]

but id still need to instantiate the bot in the same file?

with the bot.run()?

[rugged lantern]

why not just have it all in one file

[glossy socket]

because i want to instantiate it from another class, since i need to inject classes and other stuff from that class in the discord bot class

[rugged lantern]

you can just make a bot class object and make it inherit or use whatever you want inside of itself

[glossy socket]

yeah if theres no other way to do it ill need to do it like that

tho id rather keep the bot class and my main class split

[pseudo glen]

try await ctx.message.add_reaction(emoji='<:name:id>')

[rugged lantern]

but if you really want to i suppose you could do this (for commands.Bot)

class Main(commands.Bot):
    def __init__(self, command_prefix, intents):
        commands.Bot.__init__(self, command_prefix=command_prefix, intents=intents)
  
    ...
``` then in the other file you want to run it from you do:
```py
from name import Main
intents = discord.Intents.default()
...
main = Main(command_prefix="whatever", intents=intents)
main.run(token)

[glossy socket]

im trying to do it like this:

class Bot(discord.Bot):
  ...

class Main:
  def __init__(self):
    self.bot = Bot()
  
  def start_bot():
    self.bot.run(token)

[rugged lantern]

it's the same concept

[glossy socket]

    def start_bot(self):
        self.bot.add_cog(BoostCommands(self.bot, self))
        self.bot.run("")

    bot.add_command(command)
AttributeError: 'MainBot' object has no attribute 'add_command'. Did you mean: 'all_commands'?

what am i doing wrong?

[tame rose]

[spice oyster]

Yes, you can create a list of discord.Option() objects and then pass it as parameter to the command. Read more about it in docs.

[tame rose]

Pass a parameter where?

[rugged lantern]

just do it the normal way, ie

    def __init__(self, command_prefix, self_bot, intents):
        self.load_cogs()
        ...
    def load_cogs(self):
        for filename in os.listdir(r"./cogs/commands"):
            if filename.endswith('.py'):
                self.load_extension(f'cogs.commands.{filename[:-3]}')

[spice oyster]

Where you declare the command itself, below the decorator, but I think you still have to list them one by one (eg. choice7 = choices[6]).

[tame rose]

Wait. Is this what you meant?

async def frame(itrc, *choices):

[spice oyster]

You can try that too. I'm not sure if it works.

[tame rose]

I'll go try this first

[young bone]

why do you use so many options if you can use wait_for()?

[glossy socket]

is there any way to do it the way i tried it? so i can have a constructor? i saw this in the docs:

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/v2.2.2/ext/commands/cogs.html

and was trying to follow that

[tame rose]

What do you mean?

[young bone]

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

[tame rose]

That looks like an on_message() event, but my bot is unverified. Also I got default values and autocomplete so I was using slash commands

[regal sigil]

pico.set_thumbnail(url=discord.User.display_avatar.url) - basicly display_avatar works but shows memory instead of returning the url but .url just says its not apart of User

bruh

i finnaly got it my dumbass

ctx.author.display_avatar - been a while since ive used discord.py since 2021 but goddamn i got alot to learn huh

[tame rose]

It didn't work

It's regarded as the default value

[spice oyster]

Did you try on by one like I showed too?

[cyan quail]

upgrade to 2.2.2

[drifting birch]

when using discord.ChannelType as input_type for discord.Option, it returns an int. How can I get a name instead, or how do I convert that int into the correct type name?

[cyan quail]

you shouldn't use it like that, you should set the type to discord.TextChannel (or some other channel object) and then use Option with channel_types=[...]

...damnit that still isn't documented

also ChannelType returns an int because it's an Enum that mirrors the int that discord uses for channel types

though you can get it as a string https://github.com/Pycord-Development/pycord/blob/master/discord/enums.py#L212-L227

[errant crane]

[drifting birch]

To clarify, what I have is a command to create a channel of the type provided by the user.
Right now, what I'm doing is, I'm getting discord.ChannelType with discord.Option in the command and then I want to do an eval on f"ctx.guild.create_{type}_channel" to create the channel (I really don't want to use eval, but I can't think of any other way). However the Option actually returns an int, so obviously I can't eval it like that.

[cyan quail]

discord.Bot doesn't have add_command, that's on ext.commands.Bot for prefix commands. You're likely looking for add_application_command

but if you make commands normally then you never have to run that function anyway

[cyan quail]

do discord.ChannelType(int) and convert it to string

also i wouldn't eval

[glossy socket]

im using add_cog, im trying to follow this: https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/ext/commands/cogs.html

and the function add_cog is giving that exception

[cyan quail]

use getattr(ctx.guild, f"create_{type}_channel") instead

[cyan quail]

then you should be using commands.Bot with from discord.ext import commands, instead of discord.Bot

[cyan quail]

(also please don't use type as a variable name, it's overriding a builtin which may cause issues)

[drifting birch]

I know, but I don't think there is a function to do that... I guess I could do an if statement (or equivalent) for each of the types, but then if a new channel type is created, then I have to change the code (also, if statements aren't great either)

[cyan quail]

i just showed you one

getattr is used in tons of places in the lib

[drifting birch]

oh, sorry. Didn't see your message

[glossy socket]

thanks! i think its working

[cyan quail]

all good

[drifting birch]

I know, I'm not. It was just a quick example

[cyan quail]

isee

[drifting birch]

It works, thank you!

[glossy socket]

do i need to do something else then creating a Cog class with slash commands inside that, and then add that class with add_cog, but the slash commands still dont show up

[cyan quail]

make sure the cog is loaded before starting the bot

[glossy socket]

i first run the add_cog function and after that the bot.start()

[cyan quail]

can you show the cog file?

[void mirage]

Can someone help me?

TypeError: Client.start() got an unexpected keyword argument 'bot'
I got this error

[glossy socket]

they just showed up!!

just needed to wait for like 10 min orso

[cyan quail]

ah nice

well? you haven't defined guild

is it somehow possible to receive a txt file with slashcommands?

[silver moat]

yes

I'm trying to pass my bot an image file created with Pillow as a binary stream so I don't have to read/write from a hard drive. Does anyone know why this isn't working?

ahh thanks!

[livid salmon]

table in the second function btw is the output from create_image_from_table()

[cyan quail]

what "isn't working"? errors?

if i had to guess, you should probably await ctx.defer() before generating the image

[livid salmon]

Right now the bot simply times out when the command is input and the console gives this error

[cyan quail]

table is already Bytes so you don't need to open it

[livid salmon]

All right I managed to get it working. Had to do one more step with .seek(0) on the output to get the file to actually send properly, because Pillow puts the pointer at the end of the file when it saves for some reason. Thanks!

[plush meadow]

Hopefully someone can help me out, because I am absolutely burning through my API credits through trial and error

for generation in generations:
        url = generation['generation']['image_path']
        image = requests.get(url).content
        message.channel.send(file=discord.File(image))

shouldn't this work? I am trying to send the API response as an actual image attachment

[proud pagoda]

I don't believe so, I think you have to save the image locally and then send that

[plush meadow]

aw for real

that kinda stinks, I didn't know that

I thought you could save the binary in a variable and attach that, no?

[proud pagoda]

I don't believe discord.File supports that

[plush meadow]

son of a gun

that complicates things for me tremendously, I have quite the small server

i'm gonna need to clean house every couple days

[proud pagoda]

Try doing something like this:

with open ("filename.png", "wb") as f:
  f.write(image)
message.channel.send(file=discord.File("filename.png"))
os.remove("filename.png")

[proud pagoda]

You can remove the image immediatly after you send it

[plush meadow]

you're right actually

it gets hosted on discord CDN thereafter, correct?

[proud pagoda]

Yep

[plush meadow]

do you know off the top of your head how long discord holds them for?

[proud pagoda]

Ik its at least two months

Since for me, I usually use embeds, so I need an img url, not a file

So I send the file to a dump channel and Discord adds it to tehir cdn, so I pull the url from that

And I don't delete the stuff from the dump channel, and I can see stuff that was dumped there over two months ago

[plush meadow]

that's really smart

[proud pagoda]

Thanks

[plush meadow]

i'll give it a go myself

thanks for your help

[proud pagoda]

You're welcome, happy to help

[cyan quail]

you should be able to

[plush meadow]

that's what I was thinking, but no cigar

[cyan quail]

discord.File's first arg is either a filepath or binary

if you use binary, then you should also specify filename="..."

are you sure the content you got back was the binary data?

[plush meadow]

oh, really? perhaps that's why it was sending nothing

yes because if I instead write the image to the disk, i get it no problem

[cyan quail]

isee

[plush meadow]

using wb

let me try that

[cyan quail]

everything there is painful, but uhh you missed a range

and your variable name shouldn't be the same as your function name

also typo in first if

[loud pier]

I have a slash command /lottery that send a random number with ctx.interaction.response.send_message. Is there a way afterward to find which user used the command with the message id?

[cyan quail]

that's not what i meant

read all your lines with respond and spot the difference

cmon man this is just reading

you typed emed instead of embed

well

look at all your if statements

[spice oyster]

elif is a thing.

The first keyword is always if, the rest is elif unless you need something more complex, and then you usually end with else.

[plush meadow]

message.channel.send(file=discord.File(image), filename='image.webp')
  File "/home/ubuntu/.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/discord/file.py", line 99, in __init__
    self.fp = open(fp, "rb")
ValueError: embedded null byte

this same error persists, it's driving me nuts. maybe i am actually not receiving the binary data?

[cyan quail]

try use it with BytesIO?

wait

it shouldn't be file=

it's just first positional

[plush meadow]

dammit

one sec

same thing, this is nuts

[cyan quail]

BytesIO it is then

import BytesIO from io and then wrap image with BytesIO(...)

[plush meadow]

this is crazy

this is actually crazy, i am going to faint

i never awaited it

[cyan quail]

oh

that too

[plush meadow]

it was never even getting the data

I'll just chuck it in a try/except

[plush meadow]

just a sidenote, it appears file= is needed, and filename is not a keyword

[sinful osprey]

Is there a good way to check whether an emoji is valid or not? I was thinking of adding a reaction to the interaction message, but didn't find a method for it in the docs.

[cyan quail]

if it's unicode, maybe try converting it to PartialEmoji

[sinful osprey]

Already tried that, you can pass any string into that and it will be okay with it, even "asdf" for example

[cyan quail]

idk then

emojis suck to deal with

[sinful osprey]

Actually, I guess I could send a dummy view as a response to validate the emoji

Through the value parameter I believe

https://github.com/Pycord-Development/pycord/blob/master/examples/modal_dialogs.py#L23

[errant crane]

examples/modal_dialogs.py line 23

value="Longer Value\nSuper Long Value",```

[sinful osprey]

What exactly is modal

Why pass value into the modal if your only constuctor argument is title

You have to pass the value into the InputText component

[cyan quail]

check modal.children

which is a list of items

and when you select from there you can check item.value

[sinful osprey]

Inside the callback, but you're not even saving the value to the modal, it's just passed to the parent __init__ as part of kwargs. You have to add value as a parameter to your __init__ (similar to title)

[proud mason]

do we need to specify both min_value and max_value for int options

[spice oyster]

No.

[proud mason]

pog alr

ty

[sinful osprey]

I'd suggest you to check some basic python tutorials first. But what you want is basically something along the lines of the following ```py
class SpellingBeeModal(discord.Modal):
def init(self, word, info, title="a", *args, **kwargs) -> None:
super().init(title, *args, **kwargs)
self.word = word
self.info = info
self.add_item(InputText(label="a", placeholder="a"))

async def callback(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):
    print(modal.children)
    print(self.word)
    print(self.info)

wherever you send the modal

await interaction.response.send_modal(SpellingBeeModal(word=self.word, info=self.info)))

[sinful osprey]

Sending a dummy view kind of solves the issue

[silver moat]

mention via reply

[fervent cradle]

Oh yeah I could, thanks

[silver moat]

message.reply() or Context.reply()

view.message.reply

well, interaction.message is your response message. so that's useless.

well, you need a message object.

[cyan quail]

No

interaction.message is the message that the interaction came from, which CAN be the response but not always

def setup(bot):

I have an problemm with modals. The modal loads when you attemp to submit it, it says "Something went Wrong Try again" no error what so ever.

[cyan quail]

unindent the callback

and self.children is a list, so something like self.children['guild'] will error

[frozen salmon]

So what, are custom_ids for?

[cyan quail]

they're just general use for sending data with the interaction

but individual InputText objects don't have a custom_id

if you want to get a child by custom_id use discord.utils.get, but you could just do children[1] and children[2]

[frozen salmon]

Should i remove self.children, and use children?

[cyan quail]

i was using children as an example

ah

[simple canopy]

you're good to code ^

[plush meadow]

any way to ignore a guild in a @client.event?

more specifically, on_presence_update()

[simple canopy]

if guild id == bad guild id
return

[plush meadow]

i'm not certain that on_presence_update() holds the guild ID

i guess that's what the docs are for

[simple canopy]

before and after are discord.Member objects

work around that

[plush meadow]

oh it's just a member object

embarrassing, my bad

would've been faster to just read than to even ask a question

[simple canopy]

that's why people are trying to figure things out themselves before asking something

because its easier and faster, AND you will learn/understand more

[plush meadow]

when I looked it up, someone on stack overflow said to kick the bot from the guild so I just came here and skipped the docs because i'm braindead

[simple canopy]

stackoverflow moment

💀

[frozen salmon]

self.children returns an modal object right? so if i want to get the value of something i should have to do self.children.value? fully aware its an list

[simple canopy]

i'm pretty sure its a list of objects

if we're speaking about modal

i guess you are not, bruh

[frozen salmon]

Sorry!, It worked but yeah I was

[tawdry cedar]

just to follow up, looks like not. In case you were curious

[silver moat]

it doesn't work in footers, title, and name fields of fields.

as markdown just doesn't exist in those fields.

[tawdry cedar]

lame but fair. I guess i'll try running an api call instead

hey, i am trying to declare a class to store some variables in an object for a poker bot. I don't exactly understand what is causing this error or how to correct it, could someone point me in the right direction, much appreciated!

[copper dew]

the error is pretty simple actually. if you look at the line with the bot.add_cog() method, you are passing in the player class with the default constructor arg of bot. and i'm assuming you are trying to make a cog out of it. here's an example for how it would look like:

from discord.ext import commands
from discord.commands import slash_command

# in order to create a cog, you need to subclass the `commands.Cog` class first
class Player(commands.Cog):
    def __init__(self, bot):
        self.bot = bot
    ...
    
def setup(bot):
    bot.add_cog(Player(bot))

[wheat stirrup]

ahh i see. Im basically trying to create a new object with this class and then store data in it, would i need to change what you sent to be able to do that?

[copper dew]

you could add whatever args u need into the constructor, and locally reference it later in the commands if needed

[wheat stirrup]

okay thanks! I've never messed around with making actual classes for storing data in python just declaring asynchronous functions lol

[copper dew]

np

what i would do is to create another class as a model, and create it as an object so i can store data in it. for long term data, i would probably just put it in a db

[wheat stirrup]

its not long term, just the duration of the poker game and I don't want to ping a database every time someone bets

[wheat stirrup]

thats what i was trying to do but im not sure how to do that in a way that will load into the bot

[copper dew]

yeah good point

probably would be able to get away with just making new objects instead

[wheat stirrup]

is it possible to just declare a class but not add it in the extensions?

and it would still be usable for the projec

[fringe socket]

please starboard this lol

[copper dew]

yeah you would be able to make a class, and just instantiate it as a object, and then use that object to store the data for that game

[wheat stirrup]

okay cool i will play around with that, thanks!

[copper dew]

How do I know when I receive a response from a certain site?

[still helm]

Are there any changes that i does not know?

[pseudo glen]

never do that in on_ready

[still helm]

ok

where then?

[cobalt tangle]

how to create a subgroup of a subgroup

[cobalt tangle]

In bot = commands.Bot(activity=activity)

[still helm]

same error

[round rivet]

type needs to be an ActivityType

[still helm]

it is

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api.html?highlight=streaming#discord.ActivityType.streaming

[grizzled sentinel]

Its a string right now
It needs to be "ActivityType.streaming"

[still helm]

Is working now. Thank you!

But what I don't understand is that this is how it worked until a while ago.

[undone falcon]

All my parameters are there except add_to_existing_members. Why is it not loading ? guildIds is set to my test server

    @slash_command(guild_ids=guildIds, description="Add a server timed role.Users getting that role will get a timed role")    
    @discord.default_permissions(manage_roles=True)
    async def add_timed_role_to_server(self, ctx: discord.ApplicationContext, role: discord.Option(discord.Role, "The Role that will be a time role for yoru server"),
                                    days: discord.Option(int, "The number of days before the role expire", min_value=0),
                                    hours : discord.Option(int, "The number of hours days before the role expire (is adding time on top of days)", min_value=0, default=0), 
                                    minutes : discord.Option(int, "The number of minutes days before the role expire (is adding time on top of days and hours)", min_value=0, default=0),
                                    add_to_existing_members : discord.Option(bool, "If the bot need to give the time role to member who already have it", default=True)):

I even put a print(add_to_existing_members) in the method and it is printing true

[gleaming falcon]

Look up dataclasses; they’re pretty nice as far as keeping structured data

[silver moat]

try commenting out and running bot and uncomment and run bot

[undone falcon]

even when I remove the command in the code, it still show up in the discord server

when I try running the command, it disappear, but now the commands is not coming back even when restarting the bot

[spice oyster]

Can you see other commands from your bot?

[undone falcon]

yes they are all there

except that one I just commented and decommented

I am running version 2.2.1

for some reason all commands registration are not working, and where working before

[spice oyster]

Remove debug_guilds from your bot if you have it.
Did you use on_connect() somewhere?

[undone falcon]

I change the debug guild everywhere at the same time (on a constant.py file) with this:
guildIds = [833210288681517126] # test discord server

guildIds = None # force global commands

I dont use on_connect() anywhere no

[spice oyster]

If you are using guild_ids, then it's not a problem.
I was talking about debug_guilds while creating the bot.

[undone falcon]

but looks like any change I make is not register, except the one when I commented the function (and even then it only worked after I try to use the function in discord and it didn't respond)

[undone falcon]

oh no, nerver used it

[spice oyster]

Sorry, I don't understand this message.
