[clear parrot]

the guide tells me to do what im doing

[loud holly]

Then it should work

[clear parrot]

it doesnt

thats why im here

[loud holly]

You didn't include the __init__

In the guide it should be there

[clear parrot]

class MyView(discord.ui.View):
    async def on_timeout(self):
        for child in self.children:
            child.disabled = True
        await self.message.edit(content="You took too long! Disabled all the components.", view=self)

    @discord.ui.button()
    async def button_callback(self, button, interaction):
        ...

@bot.command()
async def button(ctx):
    await ctx.send("Press the button!", view=MyView(timeout=30))```

dont see it there

[loud holly]

Send the links pls

[clear parrot]

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

and I already tried it with it

    @slash_command(name="support", description="Get a link to our support server.",)
    async def support(self, ctx: AppContext):
        embed = Embed(title="Official Server", description="🔗 Click the button below to join the Official Server to get help and have access to some cool features!")
        await ctx.respond(embed=embed, view=SupportButton())

class SupportButton(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__(timeout=None)

    @discord.ui.button(label="Official Server!", style=discord.ButtonStyle.url)
    async def button_callback(self, button, interaction):
        await interaction.response.send_message("You clicked the button!")```

[loud holly]

Send in ur pip list

And are there any errors or such?

[clear parrot]

[CRITICAL: 16:45:22 | EXT]     @discord.ui.button(label="Official Server!", style=discord.ButtonStyle.url, url="https://discord.gg/")
[CRITICAL: 16:45:22 | EXT]      ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
[CRITICAL: 16:45:22 | EXT] TypeError: button() got an unexpected keyword argument 'url'```

[clear parrot]

when I dont put the url= it literally says

An unhandled error occured. This has been reported.

HTTPException: 400 Bad Request (error code: 50035): Invalid Form Body
In data.components.0.components.0.url: A url is required```

makes no sense

[neon bramble]

url buttons can't have callbacks

so the decorator probs doesn't support them

you'd have to construct a ui.Button class and add it with add_item

cc @clear parrot

[clear parrot]

so like

    @slash_command(name="support", description="Get a link to our support server.",)
    async def support(self, ctx: AppContext):
        embed = Embed(title="Official Server", description="🔗 Click the button below to join the Official Server to get help and have access to some cool features!")
        await ctx.respond(embed=embed, view=helpView())

class helpView():
  def __init__(self):
    super().__init__(timeout=None)
    supportServerButton = discord.ui.Button(label='Support Server', style=discord.ButtonStyle.gray, url='https://discord.com')
    self.add_item(supportServerButton)```

[neon bramble]

the only style a url button can have is ButtonStyle.url

[clear parrot]

so change the .gray to .url?

[neon bramble]

yeah

[clear parrot]

An unhandled error occured. This has been reported.

TypeError: object.init() takes exactly one argument (the instance to initialize)```
💀

[neon bramble]

lol what

what have you done

[clear parrot]

its the same code lol

just with .url

[clear parrot]

do you have example code I can see

because this is dumb af

[neon bramble]

umm i dunno

i usually just do what you have done (unless i am blind)

p sure that there's an example for this though

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

[gleaming falcon]

helpView isn't a subclass of anything, so super() is ineffective. Did you want to subclass discord.ui.View?

class helpView(discord.ui.View)

(Not claiming that's the extent of your issues, but that is definitely an issue)

[worldly tendon]

Is it possible to split a subcommand group across multiple files?

[silver moat]

#creations message

[worldly tendon]

huh, great that it exists but sad its not part of pycord

[mortal junco]

Hey guys

Dont really need help just need suggestions

im working on a discord subcription bot for if you boost with nitro that dms you a account in your dms of something like a gamepass code or a account for a game from our database right but we have alot of different options in our stock and i want to figure out how to limit only the account type and how many times it can be genorated

@client.event
async def on_command_error(ctx, error):
    if isinstance(error, commands.CommandOnCooldown):
        await ctx.send(f"{round(error.retry_after, 2)} seconds left")

@client.command()
@commands.cooldown(1, 5, commands.BucketType.user)
async def command(ctx):
    await ctx.send("command output")```
is the only way  i know how to limit commands

could i send u my code?

and u give me a way to do it

[worldly tendon]

your text doesnt make sense to me, there is no . or ,
however the account type you can check if someone has nitro, if thats what you want

[mortal junco]

Here look

@client.slash_command(name="generate", guild_ids=[json.loads(open("config.json", "r").read())["guild_id"]])

idk why tis splitting like thast

its not nitro , but once they pay or nitro boost we give them access to a r ole that lets them use the bot

[steel wedge]

am i just very stupid or why does it keep replacing the same line?
f.write(f"Name : {message.author} Date : {date.today()} Quote : {message.content}\n")

my brain

is mush

when i looked it up it says to put the \n at the end

but it just doesnt work

[worldly tendon]

.seek() to the end of the file or use writeline (i think that works)

[steel wedge]

ok thanks

[worldly tendon]

that code is a mess

[mortal junco]

hows it a mess

[worldly tendon]

all your nested if statements for example

[mortal junco]

thats just how i code i guess i cant really explain i

[worldly tendon]

instead of nesting it like that, use if not and return

[mortal junco]

well do u know a way i can limit a specific value of a command instead of the entire command

[worldly tendon]

give me an example of what you want without copying a billion lines of code

[mortal junco]

I want to limit the specific type per day besides limiting the entire command

so say i can /generate NFA, /generate Skinned, /generate Ranked

i wanna limit /generate Skinned

instead of the entire /generate command

[steel wedge]

thanks the issue was when i was opening the file i opend it into write ._.

[worldly tendon]

here is an example of your nesting btw

if service_name.lower() == service.lower():
    if str(json.loads(open("config.json", "r").read())["week_role"]) in str(ctx.author.roles):
        if os.path.exists(f"accounts/{service}.txt"):

1. save json.loads(open("config.json", "r").read() into a variable that you can reuse.
   loading it again and again is not performant. it can also cause a race condition if you write to the file, where it wants to read and write at the same time. this can corrupt them.
   use something like this:

jsondata = None
with open('strings.json') as json_data:
    jsondata = json.loads(json_data)

2. dont nest your if statements like above, use something like this:

if service_name.lower() != service.lower():
    return
if not str(jsondata["week_role"]) in str(ctx.author.roles):
    return
if not os.path.exists(f"accounts/{service}.txt"):
    return

with open(f"accounts/{service}.txt", "r+") as accounts:
    data = accounts.readlines()
    # ...

this is much more readable and then people might understand what your actual issue is ^^

[mortal junco]

Oh okay, 😛 ill update soon

i just really need to figure this out

[worldly tendon]

instead of /generate <nfa/skinned/ranked>, id use subcommands.

/generate nfa
/generate skinned
/generate ranked

without arguments. that will split your code into more chunks, make it more readable and you can easily limit them to whatever you want. You could do the same with one command and arguments but that will look messy fast.

I still dont get how you want to limit them. per day of week?

[mortal junco]

Per Day

and i really dont want to do subcommands i did them all together for a reason

if i did subcommands id have to redo my entire sql

[worldly tendon]

day = datetime.datetime.today().weekday()

gives you 0-6

[mortal junco]

huh

im sorry ive never seen that

[worldly tendon]

all good

you need to import datetime

[mortal junco]

and after i define day how to i make that only effect the command cause i fr cant make subcommands

i refuse to redo sql

"This isnt for public use so idc abt readablility aslong as i understand it

[worldly tendon]

async def generate(ctx, service_name):
  day = datetime.datetime.today().weekday()
  if service_name == "nfa" and day == 0:
    # not allowed on mondays
    return

[mortal junco]

got it

your the best,

do i fill in the datetime.datetime.today thats only part confusing me as ive never worked with datetime import

[worldly tendon]

do i fill in the datetime.datetime.today
i dont understand

[young bone]

.now()

[worldly tendon]

you dont need to
it gets the current time by default, so no need for now

[worldly tendon]

you need to rephrase your question

[mortal junco]

i dont understand what the is doing i mean i kinda do but how do i set the time i want

[loud holly]

you mean you don't know datetime itself?

[mortal junco]

no ive never used it

[loud holly]

https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html

[loud holly]

what exactly are u trying to achieve?

[mortal junco]

Im trying the limit the amount of times a command can be ran but not the whole command just the offset

such as /generate NFA /generate Skinned

i only want to limit /generate Skinne

[loud holly]

so why not put it in a subcommand since it'll save you a lot of hassle, like right now you're going into a complicated way which will get rlly messy and burn you out.

Since generate is the keywork use that as a main command name and work on that. Sure you'll have to rewrite the SQL DB and stuff but like surely one day you'll have to rewrite the entire bot and trying to work out complicated steps and make it efficient is time consuming and quick in burning out. I did it this way and trust me, it's better to build something nice and easy at the start than leaving it at the last moment where it's a lot messy

if you rlly want to go into the complicated and inefficient, make it so that you configure preferably via UTC (3.11)

and then check if a day or so has passed

[mortal junco]

Ughhhh

im not good at sub commands either

[loud holly]

it's not that hard

[mortal junco]

i really dont know how

but ill try

[loud holly]

Variable = discord.SlashCommandGroup("main keyword", description="if you want")

@Variable.command()
async def first_command(...):
  # DO STUFF

@mortal junco ^^

[mortal junco]

Ugh ill do some research ig and rewrite

Can i please get one example from my line of code and then ill do rest

i am a very visual learner xD

[rare ice]

#help-rules Rule 4

Don’t ask for code

[mortal junco]

got it

uhm wtf happened

i have all the requirements installed pylance and everything

[rare ice]

Run pip freeze in your console and send the output

[mortal junco]

pip install discord?

[mortal junco]

sent 🙂

[meager heron]

No, pycord is what you want

Are you using a venv? I've found VS Code randomly hates that

[mortal junco]

idk what that is so i dont think iam xd

why tf is it not working

bro this is so annoying

[full basin]

It's py-cord

Not discord

It gets imported as discord but the library name is py-cord

@mortal junco Uninstall pycord

You have pycord and py-cord

[mortal junco]

pip uninstall pycord

[mortal junco]

didnt fix

[silver moat]

restart vsc if you haven't already

also if you have multiple python versions, please use the correct one.

[loud holly]

@discord.ui.channel_select(
        placeholder="Select a Channel",
        min_values=1,
        max_values=1,
        channel_types=[discord.TextChannel]
)

so basically I'm getting an error which I'm guessing I'm using the channel_types incorrectly

type object 'TextChannel' has no attribute 'value' <-- Error

Currently trying out other ways of getting that to work

nvm found a fix for it

[mortal junco]

i need this fixed pleasee

im having troubles it was working until i changed the directory the file was in adn then i change it back and it dont work

i really need it fixed

brooo

[mortal junco]

Pleasee

i need it fixed idk what to do ive looked all over google

[silver moat]

did you do what I recommended?

[mortal junco]

Yes

:c

[silver moat]

type where pip and where python and send their output

[silver moat]

that really did not help

python -m pip list and send output

[mortal junco]

@silver moat 🙂

i reallly need it running

[silver moat]

idk how to explain this, but your visual studio code should have a python setting.

It will tell you the path of the python you are using

[mortal junco]

@silver moat uhm tgis?

[lilac citrus]

control shift p and then select interpreter or something

[mortal junco]

didnt work

[silver moat]

what if you just typed python main.py or whatever you named your file

[mortal junco]

i did

thats what i do

it dont work

[silver moat]

what did you name your file

[mortal junco]

LightBot.py

@silver moat

[silver moat]

I have no clue why it wouldn't work

[mortal junco]

would u be avaliable to sit in a call?

like 10 minutes of your time

pleasee i need this running its for my shop

[silver moat]

nope

[mortal junco]

i actually need this to work

Please tell me smthing to do

[silver moat]

reinstall python could work

[gleaming falcon]

Is anyone else having issues with scheduling events now that DST has ended in the US? I don't think it's my code, as the datetime object I'm passing is both correct and explicitly in UTC

[round rivet]

id imagine a restart would be needed to correct the offset at least

if your machine is affected by dst

not exactly sure how python actually handles that

[gleaming falcon]

Restart of the machine or of the bot? The machine time is accurate, and the bot has been restarted several times. Besides, create_scheduled_event just turns it into isoformat() anyway

[round rivet]

well what does utcnow return

If it's not the current utc time something is wrong

[gleaming falcon]

utcnow() shows the correct offset

Actually I'm stupid as hell

How do I fix this error? It's annoying.

[copper dew]

if im correct, this is due to your bot having 2 slash commands with the same name

i remember having this issue a bit ago, just to find out that i had 2 /help commands being loaded

check your commands, and check your cogs

[fervent cradle]

My extension fails to load, and I don't get any errors. Any ideas why?

[copper dew]

is store set to True?

[fervent cradle]

Problem solved

[obtuse junco]

No tag codeblocks found.

[fringe socket]

?tag codeblock

[obtuse junco]

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

That makes reading code in Discord a lot easier:

print("This is an example.")

sourcebin

pastebin

its very hard to understand ur code via image

just take a part of it

if a button is causing error, send the class of the button

ok

is channel a message?

[vale heath]

can we restrict a bridge command to only slash command ?

[cobalt tangle]

use @bridge.slash_command(), idk if it will work, try it ig

[cobalt tangle]

Guys how can we get the person who created a channel and who edited an user's nickname

[cobalt tangle]

This class is a subclass of ext.commands.Bot and as a result anything that you can do with a ext.commands.Bot you can do with this bot.

^ so yes

[vale heath]

it didnt work any how used @commands.slash_command() thnx for help

[cobalt tangle]

in cogs?

[vale heath]

yes

[cobalt tangle]

alr

i thought in normal stuff 💀

[vale heath]

np 😅

[jovial shoal]

What would be a reason why a defer might fail?
Sometimes I have to use a command 2 or 3 times for it to get to the the "bot is thinking..." stage
On the backend, I get the error:
discord.errors.NotFound: 404 Not Found (error code: 10062): Unknown interaction
The pycord docs imply this is a defer failure

[zenith pecan]

how to write in callback output condition for each of my buttons in dropdown?
Maybe silly question

[zenith pecan]

Дарова, думал тут русскоговорящих нету, сможешь помочь? Я на английском толком объяснить нормально не могу

[cobalt tangle]

how can u edit a channel with an embed

u did channel.edit() with ur code

How to create embed

Welcome message

How to get welcome message when new player join

How

I used this

bot.event
async def on_member_join(member: discord.Member):
guild = member.guild
if (
guild.system_channel is not None
): # For this to work, System Messages Channel should be set in guild settings.
await guild.system_channel.send(f"Welcome {member.mention} to {guild.name}!")

No

But when new player joins no message

[young bone]

do you have Intents?

[rough path]

No

[young bone]

you need Intents

?tag intents

[obtuse junco]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/intents.html

henlo, i created a module with variable embeds and i want to use it in a cog, i did
from emcard import Mopt
then my command look like

    @option("name", description = "Choose or Input Card Name",
        choices = ["Mopt"], required = True)
    
    async def card(self, ctx: discord.ApplicationCommand, name):
        await ctx.send(embed = {name})```
but i get this error `embed = embed.to_dict()
AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'to_dict'`

help is very appreciated , thank you

Hello, i need to get mutes of a member in the audit log, but i only found member update (return also nicks) how can i let it print only the mutes:

        async for thing in ctx.guild.audit_logs(user=member, action=discord.AuditLogAction.member_update):
            print("xx")```

How do I request buttons by the custom_id in a on_interaction event?

[meager heron]

You want message.edit, not channel.edit

[nocturne canopy]

googletrans is still broken right?

[grim tangle]

Getting this don't know what it's saying

[young bone]

you need the git Version for python 3.11

[grim tangle]

oh ok

[young bone]

?tag install

[obtuse junco]

1. Uninstall discord.py or any other forks of discord.py you might have with the namespace discord.
   python -m pip uninstall discord.py discord -y

2a. Install py-cord
python -m pip install py-cord

2b. Update py-cord
python pip install -U py-cord

[worldly tendon]

is there a way to list the currently loaded cogs?

[mortal junco]

Someone tryna help me reformat this

[worldly tendon]

sorry but i have my own projects

[mortal junco]

nothing serious at all i just have no clue why its sending this message twice

i havent done anything wrong i dont think

[worldly tendon]

show the code

[mortal junco]

sorry abt not formatting it for readability

ill upload to pastebin

[mortal junco]

https://pastebin.com/d0D2wgRV

[errant crane]

https://pastebin.com/raw/d0D2wgRV

[worldly tendon]

oh dude. my eyes

[mortal junco]

it says you cannot gen rnaked no matter what

[mortal junco]

is the formatting that bad

[worldly tendon]

its absolutly horrible. i am not kidding

[mortal junco]

wtf.

i read it perfectly

but do u know why its sending that message no wonder what

i really need to know i dont see why

[worldly tendon]

you need to give me a few minutes to refactor everything

[mortal junco]

yes sir

/ mam

@worldly tendon I plan to rewrite it soon I’m sorry for the hassle

I just really need this part fixed as I don’t see a problem

[mortal junco]

Hello? Did you read what I said

[worldly tendon]

i am fixing your thingy. give me some time

[mortal junco]

Wdym fixing

[worldly tendon]

i cant read shit in your code and need to untangle this mess. then i will see what your problem is.
you said you can read this code perfectly fine, but you cant - otherwise you would see the issue yourself.
so give me a few minutes to refactor everything

[worldly tendon]

what message is it exactly printing twice? - ah just seen the image, nvm
well, i know the issue now

[mortal junco]

what is it

[worldly tendon]

your code simply checks week and month after another. you can generate one but since you cant generate the other, it sends that message

[mortal junco]

but i wasnt having this issue before its like i went to bed and it was fine

[worldly tendon]

thats because some elf went to your pc at night and changed something

[mortal junco]

how exactly do i fix this

[silver moat]

sue the elf

[mortal junco]

got it

but i swear to god it wasnt doing this before

[silver moat]

then revert changes

[mortal junco]

Whats the fix to this exactly im so confused

[silver moat]

this is why people should use git.

[worldly tendon]

how to fix it depends on how you want to proceed

[mortal junco]

easiest fix possible i would prefer

i dont wanna update bot until im ready for version 2

where i implement json data and shit

[silver moat]

?tag nojson

[obtuse junco]

Why you should not use json files for storing data
Using json files on a smaller scale is fine, however it is would be very beneficial to switch to a real database management system;

• JSON is a data format, not a database.
• It is easily corrupted as it does not come with any data integrity checks when writing to the file.
• It is not good at defining or utilizing relationships, making it very hard to store relational data.
• When the JSON file becomes too large, you will run into performance issues since your program has to read the entire file into memory every time you want to query the data.
• It does not include any security features that you may get when using a database management system.

[worldly tendon]

1st, dont use json
2nd, do it right the first time

use sqlite if you dont want to have a real database

peewee is an excellent tool to help you manage it

[silver moat]

^

[mortal junco]

its slotted to 10 ppl

so its not a big deal

it will only be reading and writing ten userids

[worldly tendon]

well, its a big deal to fix the issue you have

[mortal junco]

how was this not happening yesterday im so confused

[silver moat]

two possibilities, either it didn't work or you changed something

[worldly tendon]

im gonna upload my code to pastebin. it wont work because i cant test your code on my machine but it will give you a good tip on how to better code

[mortal junco]

ok

[worldly tendon]

https://pastebin.com/6fPXv2jG

[errant crane]

https://pastebin.com/raw/6fPXv2jG

[worldly tendon]

its missing things, it wont work but at least you get the idea about how to actually format your code in a way that readable and debuggable

check from line 40. all your nested if statements and loops are gone, because they were absolutely unnessesary

you were loading the json file like 5 times which was also unnessesary

load it once, save it into a variable and only reload it if you need (or better stop using json alltogether)

for loops are your enemy. avoid them if you can

[mortal junco]

the json is only for the config

????/

[worldly tendon]

and? like i said, if you have to - load it once

also, break your code up into readable chunks that belong together
even better would be to create more functions that you can place those chunks into

usually you dont want your functions to be larger than 10-15 lines of code max

[mortal junco]

ugh i guess this is gonna take a while to rewrite

[worldly tendon]

make a plan before you start coding. think about what you need to archive your goal

[mortal junco]

Well im just really upset

it was working justtt fine before

[worldly tendon]

thats why you use git/github or make backups

[mortal junco]

Okay let me get this straight,

[worldly tendon]

here, let me show you some of my production code:

[mortal junco]

the reason its sending a message twice is because its generating twice at once?

[worldly tendon]

no, because its going through 2 loops

[mortal junco]

if i split it into sub commands

would that not fix my issue

[worldly tendon]

you will fix your issue if you dont use loops at all

you can keep it in one command

[mortal junco]

I dontk now how to code like u wrote

i didnt learn that way

ur example dont really show me anything

[full basin]

That's clean. But God, why white mode? Are you a psychopath?

[worldly tendon]

:harold:
its just github and i never bothered to change it. you are not the first one to say that to me 😂

[worldly tendon]

its the same code, just reordered.
instead of
do something if

code it like
stop if not

its not hard

[mortal junco]

hard with only a month of practing

[round rivet]

what's the actual issue here

[mortal junco]

theres a reason my code looks so shit

[round rivet]

i've seen worse

[mortal junco]

my codes messy and a loop apparently so a message is sending twice

and i really need this fixed

[worldly tendon]

well, i cant test the code. i assume its sending a message twice because there are 2 loops going on with basically the same code

[mortal junco]

i promise u

it worked perfect yesterday

[round rivet]

yeah that's the exact same code twice

[worldly tendon]

not exact. but loops can be completly avoided in his code

[mortal junco]

but its categorized by role.

[worldly tendon]

well, i didnt change it

[mortal junco]

So when i have Month services role, and go to generate an account it says i cant

[round rivet]

both loops will still run and produce an output (sending a response in this case)

[mortal junco]

Ugh this is the part im so bad at

i dont know how to fix my shit if its not erroring after i wrote it

[worldly tendon]

the quick and absolutly disgusting fix would be to give the command another parameter if you want month or week role and then only loop for what was given. the good way is to clean the code, stop the if nesting, remove all loops and fix it with brainpower

[round rivet]

also what is this for

[mortal junco]

Its basically a subscription

that can generate various accounts

[mortal junco]

i aint got no damn brain power 💀

im just trying my best to make smthing work

[worldly tendon]

okay so

what if you can create both a weekly and a monthly loop? in your code, you would generate both at the same time

[mortal junco]

it wouldnt work like that

it shouldnt loop because you cant run those commands

if you dont have the role

if i only have Month role

it will not allow it to loop

[worldly tendon]

but you send error messages if you are not allowed to. both for week and for month

thats your issue isnt it?

[mortal junco]

But i dont think thats it because if i give myself both roles

it does the same thing

i honestly dont think its a loop issue in the sense ur talking abt

Yesterday i uploaded a video of me shwocasing the bot for my store and it didnt do that

[round rivet]

if you only have month role i'd expect it to respond with We are currently out of {service}! from the week loop as well as whatever the month loop does

[worldly tendon]

^

[mortal junco]

its not doing that though

its completely different

[worldly tendon]

delete one loop and see if you still have the issue

[round rivet]

except it is

you have no condition that stops a loop so both will always run and produce a result unless the service isn't listed

in which case nothing happens

[worldly tendon]

this man (or whatever) talks my language

[mortal junco]

yep i removed a loop and problems fixed

[worldly tendon]

NO WAY. its not like thats what we said 😄

[mortal junco]

Im so sorry for acting stupid, but how exactly would i have a fix for this,

Would it not be a simple break

[round rivet]

since they both do the same thing you could condense them into one loop

[worldly tendon]

you dont need loops for this. i checked the code

[round rivet]

well i'm not going to recommend they refactor their entire command

[worldly tendon]

thats what i said too - oh nvm

[mortal junco]

Im sorry if im acting stupid lmfao, its my first month of discord.py

And like second month of python

[worldly tendon]

again, take a look at the code i gave you already

[mortal junco]

Dude

[worldly tendon]

you dont need to use it, but at least try to understand

[mortal junco]

I DONT WRITE LIKE U I DONT KNOW HOW TO DO THAT

[round rivet]

this is ✨ pycord ✨

[mortal junco]

i wrote it how i know how to write

[full basin]

Beginners shouldn't get into pycord

You don't even know how a for loop with if clauses work

[mortal junco]

I dont like coding basic python with no library

[round rivet]

@trim blaze

[worldly tendon]

its still python lmao. no need to get mad.

you dont need to use it, but at least try to understand

[mortal junco]

Im not mad your just not understanding

i realistcally dont know how to write like that

[worldly tendon]

i am but it makes no sense. learn it - thats the answer

without looking at how its done, you will never learn

[mortal junco]

well i only sent u half the code

so what u refractored really dont make sense

since its not the entire thing

what i sent u dont have the defining of the command or anything

[round rivet]

ignore this

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[mortal junco]

[worldly tendon]

like i told you 4 times now, its not about the code, its about the code style.
dont nest if statements, dont use foor loops if you can, put your code in blocks that are readable

i guess "try to make your code indent as little as possible"

[full basin]

And actually understand your code lol

[mortal junco]

I understand my code

it was working PERFECTLY FIne yesterday

and now its broke

[worldly tendon]

:harold:

cause some elf went onto your pc at night and messed it up

[mortal junco]

I swear to god

[worldly tendon]

[mortal junco]

theres litteral a showcase on the bot

of it working

[worldly tendon]

i told you the very basics of how to write better code. accept it and learn or ignore it and keep being unable to fix the issues you have

[mortal junco]

u told me not to use loops

and i dont not know how to use one

[worldly tendon]

and i dont not know how to use one
you used 2 in your code

for x in y:
is a loop

its 3 am, why am i dealing with this

[mortal junco]

yep

[worldly tendon]

im just gonna participate.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[mortal junco]

I’ll look into it

Thank you for your time

[round rivet]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

die

[worldly tendon]

😂

[round rivet]

why do user made bots have access to this

it shouldn't be like that

[worldly tendon]

wdym with "this"?

[round rivet]

this channel

[worldly tendon]

ah

well, you can restrict access on a per channel basis

as long as the bot doesnt have admin rights

[waxen whale]

well guess what.. i said that often enough

[mortal junco]

I rewrote everything like u said

But im really slow and im having the stupidest issue of my lfie

[worldly tendon]

what is it

[mortal junco]

Please dont get mad 💀

i cant figure out how i would run the bot i see ur using cog for something involivng the bto

but what that is idk what cog is

Do i not just do client.run{json.config["token"]

[mortal junco]

[worldly tendon]

a cog is basically just a way to split your code into multiple files to make it more readable. you dont need to use a cog, i was just working in a cog file and placed your code in there.

[mortal junco]

well the way i ran the bot and got access to the token was opening the config file again

is there a different way i should be doing it

[worldly tendon]

read the config file and write it to a variable, then use that variable instead of loading the config file

[mortal junco]

client.run{jsonConfig['token']}

wold this not work or am i doing it totally wrong

[worldly tendon]

jsonConfig = json.load(open('config.json', 'r'))
# ...
client.run{jsonConfig['token']}

yes

[mortal junco]

oh i kinda had it

syntax error :0 im slow xD

im so confused

hows that a syntax error

[silver moat]

...

[round rivet]

come on

[mortal junco]

i might as well off myself

[round rivet]

that wouldn't even work in JavaScript

[mortal junco]

[round rivet]

() instead of {}

[silver moat]

how is that a standard

[round rivet]

just the curly braces

made me think of js

[mortal junco]

Im so slow

[silver moat]

}

)

[mortal junco]

yeh ik

i fixed it now i gotta workout my other problems

in this whole thing i only open the json twice

but i gotta figure out why my startup isnt working

[worldly tendon]

i just copied your code, and it had brackets instead of () lol
i didnt even notice

how the fuck did you even start your bot previously

[mortal junco]

same way kinda just opening the json

and reading "token"

client = discord.Bot()
 
if os.path.exists("accounts"):
    pass
else:
    os.mkdir("accounts")
 
if platform.system() == "Windows":
    os.system("cls")
else:
    os.system("clear")
 
try:
    json.loads(open("config.json", "r").read())
except Exception:
    print("[ERROR] Config File missing")
    input()
try:
    json.loads(open("config.json", "r").read())["token"]
except Exception:
    print("[ERROR] Discord Token not set")
    input()
try:
    json.loads(open("config.json", "r").read())["guild_id"]
except Exception:
    print("[ERROR] Guild ID not set")
    input()

jsonConfig = json.load(open('config.json', 'r'))```

is it ok to do this

[worldly tendon]

one sec

[mortal junco]

Im all good just trying to figure out why the commands arent showing up on the discord

[errant crane]

https://pastebin.com/raw/UKsuv8T6

[mortal junco]

i think i did it properly

if i didnt imma just heda to bed

💀

[worldly tendon]

import discord
import os, json

client = discord.Bot()
jsonConfig = None

os.system('cls' if os.name == 'nt' else 'clear')
os.makedirs("accounts", exist_ok=False)

try:
    jsonConfig = json.loads(open("config.json", "r").read())
except Exception:
    print("[ERROR] Config File missing")
    input()

if "token" not in jsonConfig:
    print("[ERROR] Token missing")
    input()

if "guild_id" not in jsonConfig:
    print("[ERROR] Token missing")
    input()

[mortal junco]

why Json Config twice?

like = none and then a second time jw

[worldly tendon]

because it makes sure that the variable exists outside the scope of the try except block

[mortal junco]

In my pastebin I sent did I do it completely wrong or did I get what I was doing?

Your code helped me understand a lot more

Only issue now is ctx and self are being blurred grey and the command isn’t being shown in the app but I’ll try my best tot trouble shoot before bothering anyone

I’m trying my best 💀 I just hope I did the help command right if so I understand

[worldly tendon]

you can archive your goal in a number of different ways. there is no one fixed solution to a problem. I think you should start from scratch but that doesnt mean you cant fix it in the code you already have

i edited the code above. its untested but i think it should work like that.

[mortal junco]

Okay, can i send just what i did for the help command and u lmk if it seems valid?

[worldly tendon]

sure

[mortal junco]

my problem rn is this tis say its not accesible by pylance

never seen that

[mortal junco]

def helpEmbed(ctx):
    embed = discord.Embed(title= "Light Store help command", description="Usage: /generate <service name>, /stock", color=0x46a9f0)
    embed.add_field(name="Week Plan", value="``Ranked``, ``Skinned``")
    embed.add_field(name="Month Plan", value="``Ranked``, ``Skinned``")
    return embed

@commands.slash_command(name="help", guilds_ids=[jsonConfig["guild_id"]])
async def help(self, ctx):
    await ctx.respond(embed=self.helpEmbed)

[worldly tendon]

why are you wrapping ranked and skinned in 2 backticks?

this looks acceptable. You dont reuse the "helpEmbed" code somewhere else so you can put it directly into help command. but otherwise it looks good (and its not really a problem )

[mortal junco]

okay, i thought it looks cooler making it a value ngl

[mortal junco]

any idea whats cuasing this?

u said it looks good but its not picking up the / command

[worldly tendon]

no its fine, but one backtick is enough.

@commands.slash_command(name="help", guilds_ids=[jsonConfig["guild_id"]])
async def help(self, ctx):
    embed = discord.Embed(title= "Light Store help command", description="Usage: /generate <service name>, /stock", color=0x46a9f0)
    embed.add_field(name="Week Plan", value="`Ranked`, `Skinned`")
    embed.add_field(name="Month Plan", value="`Ranked`, `Skinned`")
    await ctx.respond(embed=embed )

any idea whats cuasing this?
the popup says whats wrong. "url" is not accessed.
you are not using url inside the function (and you are also not passing a url parameter).
just remove that url argument

the def __init__ function is for when you are in a class. since you are not, it wont be executed.

just saying

[mortal junco]

so i need to move it

i wasnt really sure what it was fure

never had to use it

Like everything works fine no errors

no slash command pops up

[worldly tendon]

i dont know where your slash command code is in the file. thats something you have to figure out on your own

its 4:30 am and ill go to bed now

i thank u so much

how to modify the /help command

[mortal junco]

?

[peak chasm]

I tried to create the /help command but it tells me that I cannot modify it

[mortal junco]

@waxen whale i almost have it finished ikkkk u want ot help me with one last thing then bots rewritttten!

its asking for weird ass paramaters

U where helping me ealier

[waxen whale]

I’m in bed…. And plun and squid seems to be away too. Try tmrw

[mortal junco]

ok

i just really wish i could fix this rn and id be good

I don’t know how

[peak chasm]

[fringe socket]

show me your code

I think I know what's wrong

[fringe socket]

How do they do this with the bots?

[proven ferry]

pls help me

[fervent cradle]

Is there any alternative to process_commands?

Ping me if you have an answer

[full basin]

Why would you want an alternative?

[fervent cradle]

because process_commands does not work for Bot()

[full basin]

You're overriding on_interaction?

[fervent cradle]

no

[full basin]

I don't see why you'd need to process a command then

[undone mulch]

Dumb Python question but if I created a database like this how do I use dbb["key"] instead of db["key"]. I have two databases via json in my code.

And the db[""] is getting mixed up with the dbb[""]

[full basin]

Or use an actual database

[fluid tusk]

that

[cobalt tangle]

It works perfectly fine for me

Send me ur Bot() code and ur on_message

[mortal junco]

Does anyone know a way to fix my error

[cobalt tangle]

error?

[mortal junco]

I rewrote the bot like I was told, and now I’m having this issue

[cobalt tangle]

send ur error first

[cobalt tangle]

and code

[cobalt tangle]

what the heck

[mortal junco]

It’s not an error it’s just giving unneeeded parameters

[cobalt tangle]

code

[mortal junco]

I don’t got rn 💀

[cobalt tangle]

then cant help u

[undone mulch]

Json database works I don't know why people preach get a real database

I've personally stored over 500k game IDS in json and never once had an issue

it is very slow and not to be used as a db

that is the worst thing in history

You can use a library to optimize it.

            await ctx.respond(f"We are currently out of {service_name}!", ephemeral=True)

i did it myself

why is there an indent

below commands.slash_command

[mortal junco]

It’s just copied like that

It’s not actually written like that

[cobalt tangle]

and send ur Class

ok

[mortal junco]

I don’t have the whole code

[cobalt tangle]

the commands.Cog class

[cobalt tangle]

hm Im pretty sure the issue is with the class

[mortal junco]

I removed that in my real code

I don’t use commands.cog

[cobalt tangle]

what do u use

[mortal junco]

def init

[cobalt tangle]

def __init__(commands.Cog)

if u dont add that, it wont work

[mortal junco]

It has to be like that

[cobalt tangle]

if u didnt add it, now u know whats ur issue

[mortal junco]

Okay, I removed it because I didn’t know how to use it

[cobalt tangle]

u need commands.Cog or it doesnt work

now thats ur issue

[cobalt tangle]

learn about Inheritance in Python

Pycord is a complex library that requires you to know Python concepts like OOP, async-await, etc. Run ?tag lp to find resources where you can learn Python.

[mortal junco]

I’ve never used cog that’s why

I’m sorry,

[cobalt tangle]

Ok np

Why?'

[mortal junco]

Okay 😉

[undone mulch]

This error makes no sense..

[loud holly]

you know that you can have

return await ctx.respond("Do something")

# INSTEAD OF 
await ctx.respond("Do something")
return

Better to put things on one line bc python

I'm guessing this means that when the user is verifying via the Rule Screen right?

[full basin]

Yes.

[loud holly]

is there an event to register the user agreeing the Rule Screen?

actually

I probably might be able to get it via bot.wait_for

and wait for the interaction I think

[round rivet]

on_member_update is dispatched

[loud holly]

oh awesome 👍

[peak chasm]

How do I make "category" optional?

when I test the bot I get that the field is required

[proud mason]

category: str = None
Put that and the library should handle the rest for you

[peak chasm]

thanks, i did a test with "category=false" but it didn't return "none" now it does, thanks!!
<3 <3 <3 <3 <3

[proud mason]

Np!

[silent meadow]

Hey yo!

[jovial shoal]

I'm getting so many failed defers lately, leading to 404 Not Found (error code: 10062): Unknown interaction errors
Is anyone else noticing an increase in response problems?

[silent meadow]

Real quick, how do I get the profile picture of any user?

[jovial shoal]

user or member class, avatar attribute

[silent meadow]

alr thianks

i can use member.avatar_url correct+

[jovial shoal]

I believe its member.avatar.url

but yeah

Is there a different between ctx.defer() and ctx.interaction.response.defer() should I be using one over the other?

[grizzled sentinel]

No the first one is just a shortcut (alias) of the second one.

[silent meadow]

why cant I access bot object in cogs?

[grizzled sentinel]

You will need to receive the bot object in the init.

def __init__(bot):
    self.bot = bot

[silent meadow]

i did, i did

already

[meager mica]

then when you refer to bot do self.bot whatever u want

so memeber = self.bot.owner

[indigo badger]

So I was working on a new thing in my command and I was trying to store a member object but when I went to run the command it popped up this:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/container/.local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/discord/commands/core.py", line 127, in wrapped
    ret = await coro(arg)

  File "/home/container/Bot.py", line 457, in warn

  File "/home/container/Bot.py", line 125, in addwarn
    await cursor.execute('''INSERT INTO warns(user_id, reason, time, mod guild_id, warnID) VALUES(?,?,?,?,?,?)''', (user.id, reason, int(datetime.now().timestamp()), ctx.member.name, ctx.guild.id, x))
AttributeError: 'BridgeApplicationContext' object has no attribute 'member'
The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

    raise ApplicationCommandInvokeError(exc) from exc
discord.errors.ApplicationCommandInvokeError: Application Command raised an exception: AttributeError: 'BridgeApplicationContext' object has no attribute 'member'

Anyone know a fix to this?

As I did the same format as I did for store the guild in the DB and it worked.

Anyone know or is having the same problem as me?

[indigo badger]

This should be working according to the docs.

[indigo badger]

This is the error code.

async def addwarn(ctx, reason, user):
    x = ''.join(random.choice(string.ascii_uppercase + string.ascii_lowercase + string.digits) for _ in range(16))
    async with Client.db.cursor() as cursor:
        await cursor.execute('''INSERT INTO warns(user_id, reason, time, mod guild_id, warnID) VALUES(?,?,?,?,?,?)''', (user.id, reason, int(datetime.now().timestamp()), ctx.member.name, ctx.guild.id, x))
    await Client.db.commit()

That is the code it is erroring on.

[simple canopy]

no its not?

it's ctx.author if you want to access member who used the command

and just user if you want to access the user that was warned

@indigo badger

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api/application_commands.html#discord.ApplicationContext.author

[fallow hawk]

anyone know why i would get ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'dotenv' even thought i have it installed?

ok i figured out why i get that but now i need to change my interpreter

[meager heron]

These two examples aren’t equivalent

[loud holly]

wdym?

[meager heron]

return by itself returns an implicit None. ctx.respond returns either an Interaction or a WebhookMessage. It doesn't matter in this particular function, but you should be mindful of your return types

[loud holly]

I use

return ctx.respond(...)

[young bone]

lol

[loud holly]

and it works fine for me

isn't the point though that they "exist out" if a condition isn't met?

[meager heron]

I said it doesn't matter in this particular instance. But your code should reflect your intent. If you're returning some object, it suggests you expect/intend that object to be used somewhere. If that's not the case, then you shouldn't return the object

There's also nothing gained by reducing line count here

[loud holly]

ohhh that's what u meant yeah

[loud holly]

opinions but I always like to use return await .... in this type

[meager heron]

Why

[loud holly]

it just seems cleaner

[meager heron]

If your calling function cares about the return value, you could be shooting yourself in the foot

And your intent is less clear. My first question on reading this code is "what are you doing with that return value?"

[loud holly]

nothing

if I was going to return a value that was needed I'd have used to approach that you were discussing

[fallen cove]

are multi member select option coming to slash commands?

[simple canopy]

if it cares about return type and value - it will shout out in all orange about it

if it doesn't, it won't do anything

[meager heron]

It's pretty trivial to come up with examples that will cause problems

[meager heron]

Most people aren't using annotations, TBH

[simple canopy]

bad for them smh

[young bone]

just use py await ctx.respond()

[loud holly]

well it depends, since if a condition is not met and I need to use lots of if statements, I'd use return await...

[meager heron]

You're coding, not playing golf. You gain nothing by saving that one line, and you lose clarity

[loud holly]

it's how I program ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[gleaming falcon]

Is there a way of live-registering slash commands? Like you can use reload_extension() to reload a Cog, but it doesn't

I tried using sync_commands(), but getting an error that "names should be unique", despite the fact that they are (and this error doesn't happen when I restart the bot, so there must be something else that needs to be done)

[loud holly]

I had the same problem too, apparently it's a bug? I have been told if I can remember but I'm not certain

[peak chasm]

how to i add description and options?

i try this

[loud holly]

category: discord.Option(discord.CategoryChannel, description="")

this is how I'd do it

[young bone]

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

[peak chasm]

:o thanks i see if it works

[mortal junco]

Ugh ive fixed everything but i have my last issue i need to fix

@worldly tendon told me and gave me a instructed guide to fix it ive done everything to fix the loop but i dont understand how slash commands work exactly so im having paramter issues

[worldly tendon]

what do you not understand about them?

[mortal junco]

its giving me weird paramaters

[worldly tendon]

explain "weird paramaters"

[mortal junco]

idk how to edit that as i have to implement self

[full basin]

Are you in a class?

[worldly tendon]

remove "self"

[mortal junco]

i have to have self

[full basin]

You dont

[mortal junco]

no

[peak chasm]

This worked for me but it does not allow me to put my own options, nor does it make it optional to put it

[loud holly]

are u in a cog?

[mortal junco]

no

[full basin]

Then why are you using self?

You're not a in class

[worldly tendon]

again, thats from the code i did for you while being in a cog. since you are not in a class, you need to edit that

[full basin]

This is basic python

[mortal junco]

okay.........

[loud holly]

required=False, default=None I believe??

[full basin]

Learn python.

[mortal junco]

@full basin asking sullix not you

your a dickhead

couldnt care less abt ur help

[worldly tendon]

remove self. everywhere and it should work

[full basin]

I'm whatever you want honey. You shouldn't be developing a bot if you don't know what a class is

[mortal junco]

but self is

[worldly tendon]

ah fuck off dude. you need to start somewhere. learning by doing. no one is a master in the beginning

[worldly tendon]

i told you that you dont need __init__

[mortal junco]

what am i supposed to be doing making a basic print command , i really just am using this to practice

[young bone]

#help-rules

[full basin]

Basic Python knowledge is a requirement to ask for help.

[worldly tendon]

ah so people without knowledge are not allowed to ask and learn?

[full basin]

People with no knowledge shouldn't be getting into OOP if don't know how a class works

[mortal junco]

i know how a class works..

[worldly tendon]

you are really annoying dude

go hate somewhere else

@mortal junco send me the code in a pastebin

[full basin]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[loud holly]

did you try to add in cogs?

[mortal junco]

i had my code working just fine, slux had suggested me a new way to write so im trying it out

[worldly tendon]

that doesnt mean you are not allowed to ask for help lmao

[worldly tendon]

"just fine"

[mortal junco]

it was ugly

but it worked, and i was happy

[worldly tendon]

no it didnt work, thats why you asked for help lol

[loud holly]

it was the date time thing

iirc

[mortal junco]

bro i have a video of it working

[worldly tendon]

no

[mortal junco]

i promise u a elf came

[worldly tendon]

send me the code dude

[mortal junco]

I am sorry

[worldly tendon]

i want to get over this

[mortal junco]

Damn im that annoying

[peak chasm]

it worked for me!! and add "choices=[]" for my own options thanks!!

[loud holly]

wait you can do choices=[discord.CategoryChannel, None] ????

[worldly tendon]

why would you do that?

[peak chasm]

async def help(ctx,category:discord.Option(name='category', description="You will see all the services",default=None,choices=['services','orders'])):

that worked for me xd

[loud holly]

ohhhh

[worldly tendon]

why would you do [discord.CategoryChannel, None] ?
just ask for a category channel without choice and put default to none

[loud holly]

also recommend using spaces after commas for better readability

[mortal junco]

https://pastebin.com/0DwitXTq

[errant crane]

https://pastebin.com/raw/0DwitXTq

[peak chasm]

hehehe <3

[loud holly]

yeah that's what I suggested, I mis-read what his intention was, I thought he wanted to be able to select discord.CategoryChannel and in the choices he wrote choices=[..., None] and I was confused bc that looks wrong. Today is actually a bad day

[mortal junco]

@worldly tendon btw the stock part where it opens the json file, i fixed that just now

[worldly tendon]

https://pastebin.com/uu2Maggz

[errant crane]

https://pastebin.com/raw/uu2Maggz

[worldly tendon]

please compare both files so you see the differences

[mortal junco]

yes sir doing that now

[worldly tendon]

also, why do you have a bunch of "input()"s that do absolutly nothing?

[mortal junco]

No clue, im sorry for my mistakes, since ppl dont want me here imma go re read and learn alot of shit before i come back i thank you alot for your time

now that youve done this i can actually do what i wanted to do as well

[worldly tendon]

i dont think they are in the right. no one starts as a master and learning by doing is the way to go. Even if its a discord bot. Asking for help if you dont know something isnt bad, as long as you tried to fix it on your own.

python has so many different modules and tricks that one person simply can not learn everything without someone elses input.

And even they had to ask for help when they started coding, so pretending that you have to be a fucking 2 billion iq mastermind before asking for help is just plain stupid.

[mortal junco]

well i thank you greatly, this is like my second project and i didnt wanna do some basic shit that everyone does theres no way to learn without practicing

[waxen whale]

[worldly tendon]

no worries, hope you manage to get your stuff done

[mortal junco]

:), since youve helped me get out of loops and fix my code ill soon try to use sql lite to log user ids and keep data of how many times they have ran the command

[worldly tendon]

nice. but make sure to read about how databases work. its easy to mess up and really hard to make actually good.
i dont think you need to aim for peak performance, however thats what i usually like to do

take you time with that

[loud holly]

a big tip make sure to use async library for sql lite, not sure what the library is though

not even sure if it's called async library or something else

[gleaming falcon]

aiosqlite - https://pypi.org/project/aiosqlite/

[meager heron]

Is there any benefit to using it if your queries are only in single-digit milliseconds?

[true root]

I hope someone can answer my python question, thanks a lot!

https://discord.com/channels/881207955029110855/1040040785359413349

[worldly tendon]

i am sure this is not nessesary, as the bot is already async. one command does not block another and sql/ite can not process simultaneous querys anyway. they get put into a queue and worked on one by one.
aiosqlite is helpful if the code around is not already async

[meager heron]

I think the answer is no, but I may as well ask: Is there any way of setting profile information for a webhook?

[mortal junco]

Guesss what 🙂

[waxen whale]

nice automod block

[mortal junco]

still having issues that i have no way to debug.. it looks like its perfect but idk why 🙂

[mortal junco]

u canntt read it :))

[worldly tendon]

sorry, cant talk. pokemon scarlet leaked early for the switch and i am installing it rn

[mortal junco]

damnnn havefun

[waxen whale]

totally not

[mortal junco]

scary

issue is

even though i have proper roles

[waxen whale]

it might be worth opening a own thread for your questions. General help is normally for small things 😅

[gleaming falcon]

🎶 All the ... small things

[mortal junco]

@worldly tendon well i found a fix to all my problems thats so simple

idk why i didnt do it

to begin with

[worldly tendon]

?

[mortal junco]

yk how i wanted it for a month

and for a week

i can just use dyno, and name the role one role and use dyno to add the time

[worldly tendon]

Uh

[mortal junco]

later il have to implement limitations

[mortal junco]

funnnn

i havent played the new gens

[worldly tendon]

It's not even out yet

Release is in a little over a week

[round rivet]

chat in #general please

[worldly tendon]

[waxen whale]

Don’t. Move over

[meager mica]

this is more python help but i just cant figure out how to make this variable global without being in a function py class TicketView(discord.ui.View): def __init__(self, moderators, db, button_color=None): super().__init__(timeout=None) self.modertators = db.moderators self.db = db self.button_color = button_color # self.title = title # self.description = description # self.color = color global button_color button_color = button_color global button_colorr @discord.ui.button( label="Open a ticket", style=button_color, custom_id="persistent_view:green", )

[limber urchin]

What is it that you're trying to achieve, and are you sure you need a global variable for it?

[meager mica]

I want the button color to be customizable

I think it has to be but I'm not sure a better way

[limber urchin]

customizable from the code, or by users?

also button colors can't be fully custom., the only options are Primary (blurple), Secondary (gray), Success (green) and Destructive (red)

and since you're already setting the property in your init function, you can just reference self.button_color from any method in your class

no need for a global

[meager mica]

That needs to be in a function to use self

That's why all functions in classes have self as first arg

[limber urchin]

Yeah, I know

I don't see why you would need those variables outside of a function though

[fluid tusk]

import logging

import discord

intents = discord.Intents.default()
bot = discord.Bot(intents=intents)

logger = logging.getLogger("test")
logger.setLevel(logging.INFO)

logger.info("log")

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
    print("---- bot ----")
    print("name:", bot.user.name)
    print("id:", bot.user.id)
    print("-------------")

bot.run(token)``` why doesnt this log anything

[silver moat]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/logging.html

https://docs.python.org/3/library/logging.html#module-logging

[meager mica]

To set the button color

[limber urchin]

You could just do

@discord.ui.button(label='...', style=discord.enums.ButtonStyle.secondary, ...)
async def my_button(self, button: discord.ui.Button, interaction: discord.Interaction):
    button.style = self.button_color

and then update the view

[meager mica]

Ohhhh

Icic I think

So basically it's possible to change button color in the function itself

[limber urchin]

Yes, pretty sure that's the only way. It's possible that it might cause the button to have a default style for a brief moment before the view gets updated though

But in that case I'd just temporarily make the button label something like "Loading..."

[meager mica]

So this is persistent view will it somehow reset itself restart or any other bugs

Cuz function only ones when they click doesn't it?

[fluid tusk]

how do i make the logger log only info logs from my logger

instead of setting it to global

[limber urchin]

Yeah, that would only update the style on click. You can always access the buttons from the created view with the .children property. So something like

view = MyView()
for button in view.children:
    button.style = discord.enums.ButtonStyle.primary

Would change all buttons to the primary style

Or just access a specific index, if it's one specific button you want to update

[meager mica]

Ahhhh that looks like it would work good thank you alot I will try tomorrow

[fervent cradle]

does pycord work with python 11

[silver moat]

only on master branch

[meager mica]

Release has worked for me so far

[fervent cradle]

Ok update to python 11

[meager mica]

I've been using it since day 1

[fervent cradle]

Can you send the code what i need to paste to To the console

[silver moat]

?tag install

[obtuse junco]

1. Uninstall discord.py or any other forks of discord.py you might have with the namespace discord.
   python -m pip uninstall discord.py discord -y

2a. Install py-cord
python -m pip install py-cord

2b. Update py-cord
python pip install -U py-cord

Installing other builds:
Note: You need to have git installed. Use ?tag git to find out how to install git.

Updating the module to master branch (unstable):
pip install -U git+https://github.com/Pycord-Development/pycord

[fervent cradle]

i did read the docs, and it isnt homework lmao

anyways, i have it solved

[fringe socket]

get rid of self

Does discord not support modal with select menu?

class FeedbackModel(discord.ui.Modal):
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs) -> None:
        super().__init__(

[fringe socket]

I don't think so

[young bone]

Nope

[oak elm]

So just pycord not support it?

[fringe socket]

No.

it's a discord limitation

[oak elm]

So at the moment, discord does not support modal with select menu?

[fringe socket]

Yes

[oak elm]

Thank your 💕

[fringe socket]

yes thank my hearts

i have two

im a time lrod

[fervent cradle]

Does anyone know a good way to host my bot with no down time?

[full basin]

Pay for one?

[oblique river]

I want to open "MyModal" but it dont work and it show no errors

    @commands.user_command(name="Modal")
    async def modal(self, ctx: discord.ApplicationContext, member: discord.Member):
        modal = MyModal(title="Review")
        await ctx.send_modal(modal)```

[proud mason]

Don't name a function and a variable the same

It will always mess up stuff

Rename the function to smth like modal_cmd

The command name is alright

[oblique river]

Ah ok thats maybe the problem thank you

[oblique river]

"The application did not respond"

[cyan quail]

what does your MyModal class look like

[thin sierra]

do user_commands have cooldown?

[cyan quail]

uhh discord has a ratelimit on all application commands

but you have to be straight up spamming them to actually hit it

[proud mason]

up arrow + enter

[oblique river]

class Select(MyModal):
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs) -> None:
        super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        self.add_item(...)

    async def callback(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):
      ...```

[proud mason]

Any errors? Did you save and restart the bot?

[oblique river]

Yes but i have no errors

[thin sierra]

well yes but slash commands have cds, but user commands gives this error

[cyan quail]

you've either broken the install by having multiple libs or you've made a file/variable called discord

[proud mason]

Do you ever call interaction.response.send_message in the callback

[thin sierra]

hmm I will check that

[cyan quail]

that's Select, not MyModal?

[proud mason]

Show output of pip list in that case

[cyan quail]

perhaps that is your issue

[oblique river]

Yes "await interaction.response.send_message(embed=embed, ephemeral=True)"

?

[cyan quail]

this

[oblique river]

No its because i put await in the front of "interaction.response.send_message(embed=embed, ephemeral=True)"

i remove it now ...

[cyan quail]

it's meant to be awaited...

for the 3rd time, you've showed us Select while your command uses MyModal

we still don't know what MyModal looks like, or maybe you're meant to be using Select in the command instead

[oblique river]

Select is only the name of the class that is not important

[cyan quail]

it quite literally is in this case

[thin sierra]

well no luck, it works with message or slash commands but can't with user commands

[cyan quail]

that's not what your error is though... it's not any different for user commands

[thin sierra]

is this a common issue?

[oblique river]

I can call it something else if Select is so bad

[cyan quail]

do you have a command or function named discord

[cyan quail]

that isn't the issue... in your command you're doing modal = MyModal

but you showed us the code for Select and not MyModal, so we still don't know if anything is wrong

[oblique river]

I know and the modal he gets yes from the class "MyModal"

[cyan quail]

we need to see the code of MyModal

[oblique river]

class Select(MyModal):
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs) -> None:
        super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        self.add_item(...)

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

    @commands.user_command(name="Modal")
    async def modal(self, ctx: discord.ApplicationContext, member: discord.Member):
        modal = MyModal(title="Review")
        await ctx.send_modal(modal)```

[cyan quail]

that's not

[oblique river]

I have sent everything

[cyan quail]

my guy

[thin sierra]

nope

[oblique river]

There is no more or less

[cyan quail]

somewhere you have done class MyModal

show us that instead

[oblique river]

That's the Select...

[proud mason]

Instead of discord.ext.commands.cooldown

Try from discord.ext import commands and then use commands.cooldown

[cyan quail]

wtf is MyModal then

it doesn't exist in the library, so it's a custom class you've made

[proud mason]

You still haven't renamed the function name yet

[oblique river]

Oh I sent the wrong code with MyModal it actually says Select un not MyModa

class Select(MyModal):
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs) -> None:
        super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        self.add_item(...)

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

    @commands.user_command(name="Modal")
    async def modal(self, ctx: discord.ApplicationContext, member: discord.Member):
        modal = Select(title="Review")
        await ctx.send_modal(modal)```

This is my current code

[thin sierra]

silly me 🤠

[proud mason]

Is the command inside of the Select class?

[oblique river]

No there is one class before that

So the normal

[cyan quail]

you still aren't answering the question

MyModal is very likely where the error is

[proud mason]

Oh that worked?

[cyan quail]

and you aren't showing it

[thin sierra]

yes somehow

[proud mason]

Cool. I remember having that issue in my early days lol

[oblique river]

But this code works for me

[cyan quail]

so it's working? fair enough

[proud mason]

Then what's the issue?

Lmao

[oblique river]

Sure just have the problem that if I do not submit the modal presses that the bot then in the chat has the here all the time stand

[proud mason]

Buy a vps. They start around $3-5 per month and are powerful enough for a medium sized bot.

If you don't wanna pay then there aren't many good options. Only one I can suggest is railway.app

@vivid plaza

[vivid plaza]

yes

Wait I will send the code. Let me just open VS Code

def check(message):
            c.execute("SELECT price FROM accounts WHERE type=?", (type,))
            price = c.fetchall()
            try:
                print(message.content.startswith)
                print(message.mentions[0].id)
                print(message.author.id)
                print(message.content)
                print(message.content.startswith(f"**💰 | {message.author.display_name}, has transferred "))
                print(message.mentions[0] == 994347081294684240)
                print(message.author.id == 282859044593598464)
                print(str(price[0][0]) in message.content)
            except IndexError:
                return False
            return message.content.startswith(f"**:moneybag: | {message.author.display_name}, has transferred ") and message.mentions[0].id == 994347081294684240 and message.author.id == 282859044593598464 and price[0][0] in message.content

it returns False False True True

@cobalt tangle

[cobalt tangle]

hm

[vivid plaza]

Do you need to see the msg again ?

[cobalt tangle]

yes

and what is type

[vivid plaza]

I declared type here

[cobalt tangle]

what is type

like value

[vivid plaza]

value That will be given by the user

[cobalt tangle]

what avlue

example

and what does price = c.fetchall() give u

[vivid plaza]

it gives me the price of something from the database

(an int)
