Basic Pycord Help (Quick Questions Only)

[raw gust]

I have the same problem.
First option for me was to use the "functional interface" mentioned in the doc string of the slash command class.
Sadly i could not find any reference for this in the docs.
On this discord noone helped me about this topic either.

My only real sulotion to this until now is to create the discord slash command class manually, then add it to the slash commands of the bot manuelly. This works, but is not recommended at all. Atleast the docs say so, but the doc string also says something about an "functional interface" so i am not sure to what degree i should trust the docs.

In cogs it may be possible to import another file with a function which provides the guild ids and on every change of guilds you reload the cog. I did not test this tho.

[limber urchin]

The guild ids parameter is meant as a way to statically set one or a few servers to use while debugging, or to only register a command in those few servers. It's not really meant to be dynamically defined or changed during runtime of your bot anyways.

[raw gust]

Its not meant sure. But what if you want it anyway? Is there any other solution?

[limber urchin]

I don't see why you would ever want to dynamically set it, or change it

[kindred moon]

Personally, for creating test environments in which the bot can be tested before its features go live globally.

[limber urchin]

Sure, but why can't you just manually set the guild ID in the code directly?

[kindred moon]

Would you have an example you could share of creating the class manually? Or have you not tried?

[kindred moon]

I can do that theoretically, surely, but the code's going to live in a cloud service that I'd preferably just start and provide some arguments rather than have to go in and change the code every time before running it. It's easier to parse --env dev when starting the bot through the command line than having to go through all my cogs and swap out the guild_ids=[..., ..., ...], even when 'search and replace'ing.

[raw gust]

So slash commands only show up in specific servers. Idk. Or custom slash command names dynamically changed by the user.

The question is as it stands if that is possible. And if there is any functional interface like the doc string suggests

[limber urchin]

You don't need to go through every cog, there's a parameter in your Bot constructor that automatically sets debug guild IDs for you

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

[kindred moon]

That's something I haven't been before, that may just be the easy solution to my convoluted setup 😄

[raw gust]

I dont know if i should post it here because the docs activly discourage you from doing that. And it is definitly not a stable solution. If you want it anyway remind me in 4 hours i will be home by then and can send you the code.

[limber urchin]

if self.debug == True:
      super().__init__(..., debug_guilds=[1231231231231233,])
else:
      super().__init__(...)

Here's how I've personally done it

[raw gust]

If you only use it for debug guilds the suggested way is definitly better in any way.

Sadly i still dont know whats meant by "functional interface" in the slash command class doc string

[kindred moon]

I was confused here too haha, seems to be "what everyone sees" rather than a function's inner-workings. Read an example of using print() regardless of knowing how it exactly works, but I'll leave it for another day.

[kindred moon]

Is this located in the following?

class DiscordBot(discord.Bot):
    def __init__(self):
        ...

which would then become;

class DiscordBot(discord.Bot):
    def __init__(self):
        if self.debug == True:
          super().__init__(..., debug_guilds=[1231231231231233,])
        else:
          super().__init__(...)
        ...

[limber urchin]

Correct

[kindred moon]

Wonderful, cheers! It confused me because I did not see debug_guilds as a possible Attribute in the docs but I just wasn't looking right 🤦

[silver moat]

same as normal

[young bone]

why do you add name="" to the slash commands?

[silver moat]

because sometimes your command function names interfere with names of variables or other functions

[young bone]

do you use discord.py?

I ask because you use discord.Interaction with the slash_command

ctx.respond returns an interaction but it is not really recommended to use discord.Interaction

is the command in the same class?

it is weird

have you tried to restart it?

[silver moat]

where is autoreact defined

[fervent cradle]

Is a cog listener the same as a bot event?

[foggy mortar]

yes

[fervent cradle]

Okay

async def on_application_command_error(ctx, error):
    if isinstance(error, discord.ext.commands.MissingRequiredArgument):
        await ctx.respond(f'Wrong Params')``` Why isnt this code working? (just dosent respond) and yes i did it different to what i was shown.

[limber urchin]

How would you have a missing required argument in an application command?

[young bone]

you dont

[foggy mortar]

how can you make it so it will run a command when you press a button?

like when you class the button is there a run command method

[copper dew]

Callback

[foggy mortar]

no thats not what i want

i want is you defined a command and you want to run it when someone press a button

[silver moat]

call it like a normal function

[foggy mortar]

oh ok 😂

[spare shell]

sorry im a beginner lol

need transactionHash

[foggy mortar]

it says its not defined

wow 😂

[spare shell]

[foggy mortar]

wait nvm

i forgot to add self

[spare shell]

any ideas?

[foggy mortar]

no ofc :p

i dont even know what is that :)

[proud mason]

not the best idea but works. sometimes

[foggy mortar]

whats the second idea that also work

[silver moat]

make a helper function that takes an interaction object and does the same function. use that helper function in the command and the button

[foggy mortar]

ok

[proud mason]

well what is AttributeDict?

[silver moat]

this is basic python, you would need to import it if it's in a different file

[proud mason]

you can do somedict['transactionHash'] to get it. where somedict is the name of that dict

but if AttributeDict is what I think it is, you will have to do somedict.transactionHash

[foggy mortar]

yes i forgot to add self 😂

[proud mason]

uhhh

[spare shell]

[proud mason]

thats not supposed to happen 💀

[spare shell]

[proud mason]

idk what AttributeDict is

possible to find that out?

[spare shell]

ill try to dig into it

[proud mason]

on a side note, i stole these

[spare shell]

thanks for the help tho!

[proud mason]

lol np!

[spare shell]

haha

[silver moat]

you can turn it into a dictionary with dict()

[spare shell]

could u give an example?

[silver moat]

oh it's a bson

[spare shell]

[spare shell]

how would i go about changing it?

[long torrent]

    @commands.slash_command(name="removeapp", description="Remove an app from the database", guild_only=True)
    @option("appname", description="Name of the app to remove", required=True)
    async def removeapp(self, ctx, appname: str):
        await ctx.defer()
        role = discord.utils.get(ctx.guild.roles, name="Moderator")
        if role in ctx.author.roles:
            if DatabaseManager.GetAppByName(appname) != None:
                try:
                    DatabaseManager.RemoveAppFromCategory(appname)
                    await ctx.interaction.followup.send("Removed `" + appname + "` from Database") 
                except Exception as e:
                    print(e.with_traceback(e.__traceback__))
                    await ctx.interaction.followup.send(e)
            else:
                await ctx.interaction.followup.send("The app you entered does not exist")
        else:
            await ctx.interaction.followup.send("You do not have permission to use this command!")

does anybody have an idea as to why this code responds with "The application did not respond" sometimes, it seems to not happen after i wait a few seconds after the bot is started.

[fervent cradle]

Oh oops, What would i change the on_application_command_error to?

[long torrent]

Heres the error code btw:

Ignoring exception in on_interaction

[young bone]

why do you use interaction with a slash command?

just do ctx.respond()

[long torrent]

because its in a cog and im lazy lol

[long torrent]

i tried that with followup and it didnt seem to work, ill try again to see if i missed something

i suppose tokens are not being saved?

based on the error

Maybe tortoise is incompatible with this version of FastAPI?????

could that be an error?

[foggy mortar]

@discord.slash_command(cooldown=commands.Cooldown(rate=1,per=2)) returned TypeError: Cooldown must be a an instance of CooldownMapping or None. but in the docs it says cooldown is a Cooldown object

or the cooldown is just float?

[fervent cradle]

.

[foggy mortar]

its mainly the if isinstance(error, discord.ext.commands.MissingRequiredArgument): part

[mortal junco]

you guys know what hte easiest way to import time is

Like if i wanted to have the bottom of a embed say

Ran by (User) at (Time)

[full basin]

The library has a built in one

discord.utils.utcnow()

[harsh canyon]

how do i save the audio from start_recording to a file?

[foggy mortar]

.

[long torrent]

Why do I get The application did not respond for the first few commands after starting my bot with the bot saying it cant find the interaction, after i run a few commands it works.

[foggy mortar]

cuz it need time to connect

[long torrent]

The bot says its logged in and still does it

[foggy mortar]

oh um

maybe its ur discord

[near hollow]

So I want to create a discord autocomplete with a list of roles from my db but I can't pass anything into the function from within the command. Any suggestions?

[fervent cradle]

Getting this error. Im using folder from github

[silver moat]

you should install py-cord by using the package explorer on replit

[fringe socket]

You shouldn't constantly ping people to help you. Unless they are ok with it, that is.

[fervent cradle]

Now it's giving me html code

[silver moat]

It means your are getting ratelimited

run kill 1 in the shell and try again

[harsh canyon]

how do i save the audio from start_recording to a file?

[plush meadow]

would anyone happen to know why await role.edit() is freezing my function?

[silver moat]

await = waiting for this to complete in this process

[plush meadow]

i know that much

i was more so wondering why after 10 minutes we're still waiting for completion

[silver moat]

maybe api issue

[plush meadow]

i thought the same

is there some sort of rate limit? I am doing it every 5 minutes

either way, I let it sit for about an hour and still no cigar

[silver moat]

there was a ratelimit issue earliar

try reconnecting

[plush meadow]

you mean restarting the bot?

[silver moat]

sure

[plush meadow]

yeah i did after an hour

she's just stuck

print('hi')
await role_objects[0].edit(name=f'1st Richest - [{top3[0][1]:,} Coins]', hoist=True)
await role_objects[1].edit(name=f'2nd Richest - [{top3[1][1]:,} Coins]', hoist=True)
await role_objects[2].edit(name=f'3rd Richest - [{top3[2][1]:,} Coins]', hoist=True)
print('hi2')

hi hits, hi2 never hits no matter how long i wait

[fervent cradle]

Thank you

[fervent cradle]

What is this called?

[limber urchin]

An embed?

[proud mason]

A reply to another message?

[peak chasm]

Excuse me, is there a channel to consult about other APIs? I would not like to interfere with meaningless doubts

[fervent cradle]

embeds have the line on the left

[proud mason]

Not really, but you can create a post and tag it with python and hope the mods allow

[proud mason]

It's the embed color

[proud mason]

That can be set to match the right side colour and it becomes kinda invisible

[peak chasm]

interesting, and that has to be confirmed by some correct admin?

[limber urchin]

Yeah, it's the same color as the embed.
https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api.html#discord.Colour.embed_background

[proud mason]

No. anyone can create a post in #969574202413838426 , but if a mod feels that the post is not correct for this server then he may close it. Although there have been many such posts before and no actions taken

[peak chasm]

I hope it is accepted 🥺

[fervent cradle]

Ty

[peak chasm]

Can the embeds have a different background color?

How did I never find out? 😧

[limber urchin]

No

[peak chasm]

Is it the color of the line?

:'v 🥺

[limber urchin]

That is to set the color of the embed to the same color as the background of it

[peak chasm]

Ohhh

Oki

[short hearth]

yo
how to get user id in select menus

[proud mason]

user id of the author?

interaction.user.id

[short hearth]

thx

[spice oyster]

If I want to customize an embed link, how can I automatically get the text that appears? I only want to change the author and its icon by crafting the embed and then sending it.

[full basin]

Or get the embed and edit the values you want instead of creating a new one.

[spice oyster]

I'm starting from the link, not from an existing message with an embed link. I don't want to send the message and then edit it.

[spice oyster]

How does Discord get that value? There has to be a way to get it, hopefully working with Python.

[gleaming falcon]

I believe you’re referring to rich snippets
https://backlinko.com/hub/seo/snippets
https://www.semrush.com/blog/rich-snippets/

[spice oyster]

I'm not sure. I'll try with BeautifulSoup first.

[merry briar]

For the slash command to stretch the execution time a little, there is ctx.defer(). And what is there for the button?

[raw gust]

same thing

interaction.response.defer() is it i think. But i cant check it im on my phone atm

[merry briar]

thanks) it worked)

[raw gust]

[merry briar]

discord.errors.InteractionResponded: This interaction has already been responded to before

await interaction.response.defer()
await interaction.response.send_message(text, ephemeral=True)

How can I send a hidden response to the user now?)

[merry briar]

await interaction.followup.send(text, ephemeral=True)
thanks)

[raw gust]

great 👍

[spice oyster]

Solved by using BeautifulSoup. Thanks for the help.

[long torrent]

Is there a reason my defered command is still throwing an unknown interaction error?

    @commands.slash_command(name="countapps", description="Count the number of apps in a category")
    @option("category", description="Category to count apps in", required=True, choices=[discord.OptionChoice(name=category) for category in Categories])
    async def countapps(self, ctx, category: str):
        await ctx.defer()
        DBCategory = emoji.replace_emoji(category, replace='').lstrip().rstrip()
        try:
            Count = DatabaseManager.CountAppsInCategory(DBCategory)
            if Count is None:
                await ctx.interaction.followup.send("There are no apps in this category.")
            else:
                if Count == 1:
                    await ctx.interaction.followup.send("There is " + str(Count) + " app in " + category)
                else:

        except Exception as e:
            await ctx.interaction.followup.send(e)

[spice oyster]

Try with interaction.response.send_message() instead.

[long torrent]

ok

[long torrent]

still doesnt defer, it never goes "bot is thinking"

No idea.

[long torrent]

rip

im on the latest version of discord on pc so ik its not a version issue as described here

[young bone]

ctx.respond and ctx.edit for a slash command

[spice oyster]

Good catch! I didn't pay attention to the rest.
Still, it doesn't explain the error. Or does it?

[spice oyster]

@long torrent Check this out.

[long torrent]

Saw that, will that work with defer? Do I need to do followup.edit_message after responding for the first time?

    @commands.slash_command(name="countapps", description="Count the number of apps in a category")
    @option("category", description="Category to count apps in", required=True, choices=[discord.OptionChoice(name=category) for category in Categories])

        except Exception as e:
            await ctx.followup.edit_message(e)```
trying to use this, still doesn't work. I never get the "bot is thinking" msg

[young bone]

to defer it would be ctx.defer()

[long torrent]

I am doing ctx.defer

[hallow blaze]

they have deferred, but they responded after that line

await ctx.defer()
await ctx.respond("Please wait...")

[long torrent]

I was trying to edit that message with a followup because I think my db query is taking more than 3 seconds and I thought you need to respond before those 3 seconds and then follow up

[spice oyster]

After you responded, you have plenty of time to edit.
You don't need to defer if you send an early response.

[long torrent]

I thought you need to defer if you want to use followup?

[hallow blaze]

Hm.. try utilizing await ctx.edit(content = "whatever message here") instead of the followups and see how that pans out

[long torrent]

ok

[long torrent]

yea still doesnt show the bot is thinking msg

[hallow blaze]

Oh about that, due to you responding in "Please wait..."

after the defer, the thinking goes away

[spice oyster]

Exactly. Choose if you want to defer or not.

If you defer, don't reply immediately.

If you don't defer, then reply immediately and edit later.

[hallow blaze]

^

[long torrent]

so something like this but just ctx.respond?

[spice oyster]

Just use ctx.respond() and the bot will handle followups automatically.

[long torrent]

Will try that

[spice oyster]

If you want to defer, await ctx.defer() stays and every ctx.interaction.followup.send() becomes ctx.respond().

[long torrent]

https://void.lunascape.gay/hWchFo still does this :/

embed failure

nvm lol

but still don't know why I get that if im defering

[cyan quail]

either network issues or you have blocking code

either of those could make it take longer than 3 seconds for the defer to be sent at all

[long torrent]

I have gigabit fiber so im not sure why I would be having network issues and I'm not ratelimited so idk

[cyan quail]

oh wait lol

change ctx.followup.edit_message to ctx.edit

[long torrent]

yea i'm not using edit anymore, this is my code now:

    @commands.slash_command(name="countapps", description="Count the number of apps in a category")
    @option("category", description="Category to count apps in", required=True, choices=[discord.OptionChoice(name=category) for category in Categories])
    async def countapps(self, ctx, category: str):
        await ctx.defer()
        DBCategory = emoji.replace_emoji(category, replace='').lstrip().rstrip()
        try:
            Count = DatabaseManager.CountAppsInCategory(DBCategory)
            if Count is None:
                await ctx.respond(content="There are no apps in this category.")
            else:
                if Count == 1:
                    await ctx.respond(content="There is " + str(Count) + " app in " + category)
                else:
                    await ctx.respond(content="There are " + str(Count) + " apps in " + category)

        except Exception as e:
            await ctx.respond(content=e)```

[cyan quail]

then yeah idk probably blocking code

unless the 2nd line of your command is erroring

[long torrent]

[cyan quail]

then yeah you're taking too long to defer

so something in your bot is stalling the command

[indigo badger]

I am trying to move code over to another file but when I do it all unindents is there a way I can copy and paste the code without lines of code unindent?

[cyan quail]

that shouldn't be happening... are you using an IDE?

[indigo badger]

No it is the code on my host.

[long torrent]

hm, would there be any way for me find out what that is

[indigo badger]

I have to update the code.

[long torrent]

what are you using to edit the code

[cyan quail]

is this the only command it happens with?

[indigo badger]

A computer.

[long torrent]

Nah it happens with any of them

during the first 10 seconds of the bots lifespan

[cyan quail]

have you overridden any events?

wait, what about after those 10 seconds?

[indigo badger]

And my host is by file.

[fervent cradle]

What would on_application_command_error have to be changed to? (for prefixed command)

[cyan quail]

on_command_error

[long torrent]

then it works, but I want to fix this issue incase it causes more issues down the line since I haven't deployed my bot for "public" use yet

[indigo badger]

So I upload the files

[cyan quail]

if it's just during the first 10 seconds then you can ignore it

[fervent cradle]

oh okay

[indigo badger]

add the code that I make on my alpha to the files.

[long torrent]

k

[cyan quail]

your bot probably hasn't hit the ready state yet

[fervent cradle]

probably should've relieased that

[indigo badger]

And my problem?

[cyan quail]

even if your bot is offline the commands can show up on discord so

[long torrent]

it sends the ready message and still does it

[cyan quail]

so it's in the "first 10 seconds" and after that it's consistently fine?

[cyan quail]

idk yours is weirdly specific, copy-pasting doesn't remove indents normally so that's an issue with whatever web editor your host uses

[long torrent]

i havent had the bot running for a while yet so im not sure if its going cause an issue if i leave it running, but if i can just ignore it then I'll just do that ig lol

[cyan quail]

typically hosts provide ftp info so you can use a client to connect and manage/edit files

i'd say ignore it but look into it again if it keeps happening after your bot's been up for a while

(also if you haven't already, switch to a DB library that's async)

[indigo badger]

Who me?

[long torrent]

Do you have any recommendations? I'm using postgres

[indigo badger]

Aiosqlite that is what I use.

Not sure if there are any others.

[grizzled sentinel]

asyncpg is what I use

[young bone]

you should use a db that support async

[grizzled sentinel]

Asyncpg as a wrapper for postgres i should say

[grizzled sentinel]

Do you mean a lib or are some DBs async?

[young bone]

I use a json but my bots are not at a huge server

[long torrent]

neither are mine, i have a server at my house lol

[young bone]

I mean something like Aiosqlite

[cyan quail]

both asyncpg and AIOPG would work

just look into them and their docs and see which would suit your needs if you plan on migrating

[long torrent]

Alright, thank you all for your help!

[fervent cradle]

How can i check for if someone has ran an owner ONLY command and isnt the owner?

[sand nebula]

Hello, im trying to retrieve a list of current scheduled events on the server, but I cant get the function to work, any direction?

[full basin]

is_owner decorator

[full basin]

Not without code and errors.

[solemn idol]

How do I print my message.content over multiple embed fields if my message.content is 2000 characters long, I know the max is 1024 per field, so I was wondering how I could spread it over multiple embed fields, and if its just under 1024 just put it into 1 field.

[sand nebula]

fetch_scheduled_events()
trying to use this, but I cant seem to access it

[full basin]

You provided nothing of what I asked for.

[sand nebula]

`import discord
import os # default module
from dotenv import load_dotenv

load_dotenv() # load all the variables from the env file
bot = discord.Bot()

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
print(f"{bot.user} is ready and online!")

@bot.slash_command(name = "hello", description = "Say hello to the bot")
async def hello(ctx):
await ctx.respond("Hey!")

@bot.slash_command(name = "events", description = "Check all events")
async def events(ctx):
property scheduled_events

bot.run(os.getenv('TOKEN')) # run the bot with the token`

Im using a basic setup, and trying to use a slash command for the fetching of the events on the server, but since I cant access the function I cant run it

and according to the docs, they say to use this property scheduled_events

[spare shell]

rn i have discord.ApplicationContext

[long torrent]

Remove the print statements in your code, wallet is the application context object, if you want something specific from the app context you need to specifiy it when printing

[spare shell]

the print was just me tryning to fix an see if it would print right

[long torrent]

Ic

[young bone]

ctx.respond()

[long torrent]

Wallet is the ctx

I believe

[spare shell]

ye

it wrks

[young bone]

oh

nvm

[spare shell]

it just sends it encoded

i just need it too be plain txt tho

[long torrent]

Is there a specific value in wallet you want

[full basin]

Do you know basic python? Because fetch_scheduled_events is a function that inherits from a discord.Guild object.

[long torrent]

Because wallet is an object

[spare shell]

wym like str?

[long torrent]

Wallet: "<object>"

What value are you trying to get, because just putting wallet will only give you the application context object, same as if you did print(ctx) on a command

[spare shell]

the str

a string

[long torrent]

What is that string supposed to be, like if you could have it return correctly what would it say.

[spare shell]

a wallet addy

[long torrent]

Ah ok

So are you storing those somewhere right now?

[spare shell]

ye

in a db

[full basin]

Why is wallet your context

[spare shell]

idk i origanilly put ctx but changed it

[long torrent]

It should be ctx

[spare shell]

ok

[long torrent]

What are you using for your db, like an actual database, a dictionary, or like a json file.

[full basin]

I mean. The name doesn't matter.

[sand nebula]

Perf, thank you!

[full basin]

My question is, why you're treating it as a wallet

When it's not

[long torrent]

Just makes things less confusing so makes sense to make it ctx

[spare shell]

dict

and i changed it back to ctx

[full basin]

If you're supposed to store this thingy. Shouldn't you take an argument of it that the use provides?

[long torrent]

Ok, do you have that defined above your command?

[spare shell]

wdym

[long torrent]

Where is that dict

[spare shell]

i am taking an argument

[spare shell]

mongo db

it adds it to the db n stuff fine

[long torrent]

I'm guessing x is your reference to your db?

[spare shell]

yes

[long torrent]

So do you need to take the wallet address as a parameter?

[spare shell]

yep

[long torrent]

Then add , wallet: discord.Option(str) to uploadwallet

async def uploadwallet(self, ctx: discord.ApplicationContext, wallet: discord.Option(str)):

And put from discord import Option below import discord in your file

[spare shell]

you ser

are a goat

tysm fam

works perfect now!

and just to fully understand what happend i was an idiot and needed a 2nd pram to register the str?

[long torrent]

Yea

[fervent cradle]

Nono i mean, So someone uses an Owner ONLY command, but cant as they arent owner

How can i respond with smth like your not owner

[hallow blaze]

Well if you go with the is_owner decorator, you can use your error handler to check if it is NotOwner, which is the exception raised if the check fails, and just respond with what you wish.

[fierce hazel]

How do I add this command to my cog? I understand there is a cog parameter for the slash_command decorator, but it confuses me..

[spare shell]

import discord
import random
from discord.ext import commands

responses = ["As I see it, yes.", "Ask again later.", "Better not tell you now.", "Cannot predict now.", "Concentrate and ask again.",
             "Don't count on it.", "It is certain.", "It is decidedly so.", "Most likely.", "My reply is no.", "My sources say no.",
             "Outlook not so good.", "Outlook good.", "Reply hazy, try again.", "Signs point to yes.", "Very doubtful.", "Without a doubt.",
             "Yes.", "Yes - definitely.", "You may rely on it."]

class Eightball(commands.Cog):

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

    @commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_ready(self):
        print("Eightball Cog Loaded")

    @discord.slash_command(description="Get your fortune!")
    async def eightball(self, question: str):
        await question.send(random.choice(responses))
        print(question)



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

heres a cog u can look thru to get ahold of them

[proud pagoda]

The cog parameter should be automatically set when the command is created

[fierce hazel]

thank you!

[proud pagoda]

You're welcome 🙂

BRUH MY DISCORD DOESNT SCROLL DOWN

It showed that as the latest message

anyway

[spice oyster]

Don't worry.

[analog crest]

I keep getting invalid webhook token recently when trying to use a command, is there a reason why this is happening?

[young bone]

try it with a new token

[analog crest]

there's no token involved though, all it has in the command is just respond and edits

[young bone]

oh

[cyan quail]

well there is because interactions are webhooks

if you're getting invalid token then either you're taking too long to respond or you're responding to an interaction twice

[analog crest]

it takes about 2 seconds or something though, probably the latter but i don't think i responded twice

[ripe zodiac]

Is there any ways to give someone a role without running the blocking bot.run()? Like login with the discord key then give the role and log out I guess

[young bone]

no

[fluid tusk]

can i pass something into a view object like

    await ctx.respond("This is a button!", view=MyView(my_var))```?

[cyan quail]

yes, just override the __init__ and add your own variables after self
when overriding __init__, make sure to first super().__init__(...) with the necessary args

[undone mulch]

I'm getting a random

discord.commands.errors.ApplicationCommandInvokeError: Application Command raised an exception: KeyError: 'lastSpun'```

In my application command.

It isn't showing me where the error is coming from. How do I find out?

I'm very confused.

[rare ice]

It seems like you are trying to access a key from a dictionary or list when the object doesn’t have a key with the name 'lastSpun', so I recommend looking into your slash command where you are doing this.

[undone mulch]

Thanks @rare ice

Do you know this error to

if time.time() - lastSpun > 86400:```

I'm trying to check if it's been 24 hrs so I'm using time.time()

lastSpun is the last time logging via time.time() they spun the wheel

[rare ice]

What error

[undone mulch]

It's just not working the way I want it to.

Is the math I did correct? Current time - past time and checking if that is greater than 86400 seconds

For once/day cooldown

[limber urchin]

That depends on what lastSpun is

[undone mulch]

It's time.time() from when they last ran the cmd

its just time.time() like a = time.time()

[limber urchin]

Then that should work

well it depends on how the entire logic of the command is set up, where are you storing this "lastSpun"?

[harsh dust]

How do I edit role permissions for a channel?
I tried this but it doesn't work

role = discord.utils.get(self.bot.SERVER.roles, name="Member")
perms = discord.PermissionOverwrite(read_messages=True, read_message_history=True, send_messages=True)
await channel.set_permissions(role, reason="Not a bid-based auction.", permissions=perms)

[boreal dust]

try something like overwrites

should be {}

[fallen cove]

how do you fix the 50001 Missing Access error

[fervent cradle]

Hello, I want to fetch a message object with it's ID. How do I go about doing it if the message was posted in DMs (dms with the bot).

user = await self.client.fetch_channel(msg[1])
message = await user.fetch_message(msg[1])

This is what I'm trying rn. doesn't work

[spice oyster]

When I fix the command before sending it, I don't understand why the autocomplete based on selected options doesn't update the choices sometimes. Any ideas?
I did the autocomplete like explained in the example. Everything is working fine besides that. I don't want to add input validation just for that reason.

Not solved but I know the answer now. Sadly it's a problem with Discord.
Link: https://github.com/discord/discord-api-docs/issues/4804

[grizzled sentinel]

?tag missing_access

[obtuse junco]

If you get a Missing Access (50001) error, you probably forgot to add the applications.commands scope.

To fix that, just replace YOUR_BOT_ID with your bot id and visit this link: https://discord.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=YOUR_BOT_ID&scope=applications.commands

[cobalt tangle]

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

    def check():
        async def predicate(ctx):
            async with self.bot.db.cursor() as cur:
                await cur.execute("SELECT enabled FROM lvlsettings WHERE guild = ?", (ctx.guild.id,))
                enabled = await cur.fetchone()
                if enabled == "True":
                    return True
                else:
                    return False
        return commands.check(predicate=predicate)
``` how would I pass self to this

[grizzled sentinel]

What do you mean self? The instance of another class?

[cobalt tangle]

i need to pass self

for self.bot.db

just tell me how do I access self.bot from the check

my brain not working :(

[grizzled sentinel]

in the check you can just do exactly that self.bot

[cobalt tangle]

not working

it says self is not defined

I need to pass it in somehwere

[grizzled sentinel]

Ahh, Any function inside a class should have self as the first argument. so def check(self):

[cobalt tangle]

not working

i just tried it

[grizzled sentinel]

same error?

[cobalt tangle]

check is missing a positional argument

I can't pass self in from the decorator

that returns the same self is not defined

[grizzled sentinel]

In that case you need to move the check outside the class and than get bot a different way. You could import it from main import bot or something like this.

[cobalt tangle]

that works?

by importing it?

[grizzled sentinel]

Yup

[cobalt tangle]

I thought that wouldnt work but sure

my bot is subclassed, hope it works

[grizzled sentinel]

as long as you get the instance that you created the bot

[cobalt tangle]

mhm

@grizzled sentinelit worked but another error

@leaderboard.error
async def lberror(self, ctx, error):
        if isinstance(error, commands.CheckFailure):
            await ctx.respond("Levelling is not setup in the server.")

discord.errors.CheckFailure: The check functions for the command leaderboard failed

Why didn't it work?

[grizzled sentinel]

When a check is not passed it throughs an error.

So your check returned false

[cobalt tangle]

yeah

but why didnt it catch it

I added an error handler

[grizzled sentinel]

discord.errors.CheckFailure vs commands.CheckFailure. The second is for prefix commands

[cobalt tangle]

ohhhhhhh

ty

[grizzled sentinel]

yuou might not even need errors just discord.CheckFailure

[cobalt tangle]

lemme see

this works ty

discord.errors.CheckFailure works

i aint gonna switch lol

[fervent cradle]

Hello, I want to fetch a message object with it's ID. How do I go about doing it if the message was posted in DMs (dms with the bot).

This is what I'm trying rn. doesn't work

[fallen cove]

have application.commands scope added and the issue is still there

[cyan quail]

is that your actual word-for-word code

[fervent cradle]

yes

[cyan quail]

so uh

have you considered that the ids you're using are the same

[fervent cradle]

wdym?

oh wait

[cyan quail]

read your code

[fervent cradle]

would this work fixing the ids?

[cyan quail]

that's meant to work yeah

[fervent cradle]

Still doesn't work after fixing that.

I get this error, bot still runs fine but errors are never good unless being handled .-.

mhm

[fervent cradle]

fetch_channel still says unknown channel

do i use fetch_user?

[cobalt tangle]

u dont have perms

[solemn idol]

bot doesn't have perms?

[cobalt tangle]

yes

[fervent cradle]

pretty sure the bot has been added to a server without permissions to set slash commands for that server

application.commands in the discord dev portal

[cobalt tangle]

yep

or the bot

[solemn idol]

Oh I just figured it out, token was still old one

[cobalt tangle]

isnt in the server specified in guilds

[solemn idol]

oopsie

thanks nonetheless xD

[fervent cradle]

also tysm colorX, my issue is now fixed

[foggy mortar]

is there a docs page that says the play music function?

[limber urchin]

playing music is typically against ToS unless you have rights to it

[foggy mortar]

um which ToS?

is it about copyright?

[limber urchin]

It's about the ToS of the service you're streaming from

e.g YouTube doesn't allow streaming through other services, and breaking a 3rd party ToS inherently breaks Discord ToS as well

[foggy mortar]

oh ok

how can you make a voice client?

not slash

it was ctx.reply

[limber urchin]

It's in the docs

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api.html#discord.User

[foggy mortar]

how can u find if an interaction has been responded before? i remember it’s something like interaction.is_responded() but i somehow can’t find it in the docs

[silver moat]

user.avatar.url

wow

[silver moat]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api.html#discord.InteractionResponse.is_done

[foggy mortar]

error:TypeError: object of type 'coroutine' has no len() line of error:for i in range(x*10,len(jsont['articles'])):jsont define:async def getnews(self,jsont,start): i = await self.getnews(e,page) ```py

[silver moat]

await json.loads

[foggy mortar]

oh

i wanna know why you need to await it?

[silver moat]

it's a coroutine

[foggy mortar]

but is json.loads a coroutine?

[silver moat]

yes

[foggy mortar]

i got the full error now

so you have to await beautifulsoup?

wait no

i need to await the previous line cuz i uses aiohttp

solved now

[full basin]

Get the channel, send the message

yes, this is pycord

[limber urchin]

Once again, look at the docs before asking here

And there's no need to be rude to someone trying to help

If you're expecting people to just spoonfeed you finished code, you're in the wrong place

[full basin]

lmao, man was expecting being spoonfeeded

[limber urchin]

They explained to you the steps of sending a message to a channel, and you told them to "stfu". If you wanted a reference to the docs you could have asked for it. I don't see how not being able to read your mind is "being a dick".

Then you should have found that your bot class instance has two methods, get_channel and fetch_channel. This will give you a Channel object that you can then call the appropriate functions on.
https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api.html#discord.Bot.get_channel
https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api.html#discord.Bot.fetch_channel
https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api.html#discord.TextChannel

[peak chasm]

How do I make it so that when the bot is turned on it continues to recognize the interactive messages?

[foggy mortar]

how does the autocomplete function work?

[foggy mortar]

i think it will be an event of on_message

[woeful spindle]

I’m using the following code:

msg = await ctx.respond("test")
await msg.edit("test finished")

however I’m getting the following error:

'Interaction' object has no attribute 'edit'

[foggy mortar]

cuz ctx.respond is an interaction object

[woeful spindle]

so how can I edit a response?

[foggy mortar]

you need to do edit_original_response

[woeful spindle]

thanks

        await ctx.send_modal(modal)``` I would like to be able to use `user: discord.member` in my Select class can anyone help me ?

[woeful spindle]

any reason my emojis are going really… weird after I edit my message?

[foggy mortar]

i think its something like ctx.target

[foggy mortar]

you have to enable external emoji for everyone role

its a bug

[woeful spindle]

I see

thanks

[oblique river]

wydm ?

[woeful spindle]

I can’t even do that

[foggy mortar]

uhm

ask a person that have permission to do that

[woeful spindle]

I’m the owner..

[oblique river]

......

[foggy mortar]

.....

[woeful spindle]

…

[foggy mortar]

maybe do it in the channel settings

[oblique river]

Spaxter can you help me

[woeful spindle]

well that works but seems kinda annoying, i don’t really want every single person who uses my bot have to do that

[foggy mortar]

yea but thats a discord bug

[woeful spindle]

ugh

alright ty

[full basin]

Why is your select a modal and theres a user command inside? like wtf

[oblique river]

This all makes sense but I just want to be able to use the user: discord.Member from the command in the Select class

[full basin]

no it doesnt make sense

[oblique river]

But it does because I have already seen this together with Spaxter and I asked him

I just want to get the user thing working

[full basin]

and why you cant typehint it?..

[oblique river]

well because the user is in the command and not in the class so i want to try it maybe with self.user = user

[peak chasm]

does not work for me, the interactive messages "MyViews" when restarting

return nothing in on_message()

[foggy mortar]

u have to use ur own python knowledge to make that

not that simple

[foggy mortar]

actually i think it works exactly

but im not sure is it right to put it in the select class

[oblique river]

How can I do this if I can't retrieve users from the Select class?

There is another class in front of it, but I have not inserted it, so you can not see it right now.

[foggy mortar]

um uh idk

[hallow blaze]

I assume you are talking about views that span past a programs lifecycle right?
If so, you may want to refer to this example: https://github.com/Pycord-Development/pycord/blob/master/examples/views/persistent.py,
and this method https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api/clients.html#discord.Bot.add_view about persistent views.

[peak chasm]

This would be so that the life of the views is permanent, right?

what I look for is that they continue working when I turn the bot on and off

[foggy mortar]

    @commands.message_command(name='Cap')
    async def cap(self,ctx:discord.ApplicationContext,message:discord.Message):
        msg = await ctx.user.fetch_message(message.id)
        await msg.reply(f'{message.author.mention} Cap :billed_cap:{message.id}')
``` why does this command dont get registered?

[foggy mortar]

ur looking for persistent views

[limber urchin]

First of all why are you fetching a message that you already have a reference to?

[hallow blaze]

They should continue working the next time you turn your bot on if you register it (through the add_view)

[foggy mortar]

thats for me testing if the command is working

but i have 2 bots and i have them mixed up

so it didnt got registered at all

[oblique river]

Question why interaction.member dont work ...

[foggy mortar]

interaction.user

interaction.author

not interaction.member

[limber urchin]

[oblique river]

Yes but I don't want to ban my myself and that is the case with interaction.user and interaction.author

[foggy mortar]

[oblique river]

I have but that there is only interaction.user and interaction.author ...

So that gives zero sense

How is this supposed to help if there is no member

[limber urchin]

Because an interaction only has a reference to the one who is interacting. You need to pass a member yourself if you're needing one

[oblique river]

I want to pass from my command but it is not in my class

[oblique river]

?

[oblique river]

When I call the modal and i use interaction.user this stupid bot wants to do something with me but should do something with the member

[limber urchin]

What's wrong with passing it to the class then?

[foggy mortar]

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 test(self, ctx: discord.ApplicationContext, user: discord.Member):
    modal = Select(title="Review")
    await ctx.send_modal(modal)

[oblique river]

Well because it does not work at all

[foggy mortar]

that almost exact code works

[oblique river]

yes but in my callback it should do something with the member but the problem is when i use interaction.user then something happens with me and not what happens with the member i selected

I am aware that the code works but it does not do what it is supposed to do

[foggy mortar]

its the user variable not interaction.user

[oblique river]

I want to use user: discord.member but it can't work because it is not in my class

[foggy mortar]

it still works

[oblique river]

I have also already passed this but it does not work then

[foggy mortar]

?tag tryitandsee

[obtuse junco]

https://i.imgur.com/VkRzeQJ.png

[oblique river]

I have already tested the code and it works but it does not do what it should how many times should I write that it wants to kick me in the interaction instead of the member and I can not retrieve it from user: discord.Member

[foggy mortar]

what is the user object in that case?

use print(user.id)

[foggy mortar]

.

[oblique river]

The user: discord.Member should be the member but it is not passed to the class in this case because the command is below the class

[foggy mortar]

then pass it in using the init function

[oblique river]

class Select(Modal):
    def __init__(self, user, *args, **kwargs) -> None:
        super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        self.user = user```I have already tried with but without success in my command comes directly an error

[peak chasm]

It already worked for me, another question when I delete the message, does the view disappear?

[foggy mortar]

then show the error

[hallow blaze]

For that message, it should

[foggy mortar]

obviously you didnt fill the parameter user

[peak chasm]

<3

[hallow blaze]

👍

[peak chasm]

I can leave this like this right? Won't it cause problems?

[oblique river]

yes

[oblique river]

see

[foggy mortar]

you didnt FILL the parameter user

[oblique river]

but it is inside

[foggy mortar]

It depends on the behavior you want, uh, if you want to leave it like that, you can, if you do not add the optional message_id, then
"message update events are not propagated for the view." - the docs

[oblique river]

I realize that it makes a lot of sense

[hallow blaze]

If you haven't resolved it yet, I tested it out and the message_command appears for me.
any hunch to what it may be within your Cog?

[foggy mortar]

hm

would it be cuz i use unstable

[hallow blaze]

🤔 well I wouldn't be sure, right now I am using the stable version to test it on 2.2.2.
Perhaps that may be the case? I do not normally use the unstable one, but then again I never tried message_commands on unstable

[oblique river]

I don't get it at all

It does not work I have tried everything I give up

I will ask somewhere else

But thanks for the help

[hallow blaze]

well taking a break is always fine, just refresh yourself on things you are hazy with, and relearn the concepts

oh, well, yeah have a good one then

[peak chasm]

I just made a View that when you submit a modal it changes the View and if the cancel button is tapped it returns to the main View 😧

POO

[peak chasm]

Excuse me, it's a pretty basic question, but how do I make the classes interact with each other, without putting one class inside another?

i can send the code if needed

[shrewd dome]

elaborate?

[peak chasm]

Or I already changed it, remove the classes and put them to call the others when certain options are made.

Does anyone have an example of channel creation?

Thankyou for the help 🙂

[foggy mortar]

whats the difference between fetch_channel and get_channel?

[cobalt tangle]

get_channel is for getting channels from Cache

if you have the specific intents and caching on, you should use get_channel

If not, fetch_channel should be used as it makes a call

[limber urchin]

use fetch_channel sparingly as it makes an API call and doing it too often may cause rate limits (and is slower of course). A good thing to do is to try using get_channel, if that returns None, use fetch_channel

[cyan lark]

Hello, im trying to edit name channel and this not work

[limber urchin]

You're trying to call the method directly on the class, not an instance of the class

This also looks like discord.py, not pycord

[cyan lark]

this pycord

[limber urchin]

I'm not talking about the edit method

I mean your decorators

[cyan lark]

oh

nope this pycord.

i have pycord + python

[limber urchin]

So then what is @bot.tree?

[cyan lark]

for slash commands

i dont have on pycord "@bot.slash_command"

[limber urchin]

what?

[cyan lark]

anyaway, i trying to do bot change name on channel

so i take about "discord.TextChannl"

channel*

[limber urchin]

Once again, you're trying to call the method directly on the class which won't work

[cyan lark]

oh.

[limber urchin]

How is the class supposed to know which channel to edit? You already have a reference to the channel in your "indentation" parameter

use that

[cyan lark]

wym

the just said im missing the "self"

@limber urchin

[limber urchin]

Are you new to Python?

[cyan lark]

im use 3.8.9v python

[limber urchin]

That is not what I asked

I'm asking if you are new to Python

[cyan lark]

ya why?

[limber urchin]

You should learn more about OOP in Python before developing a bot

it is not a beginner project

[cyan lark]

i dont want learn

i just ask how i can fix this

[limber urchin]

Then you won't be able to make a bot 🤷‍♂️

[cyan lark]

..

dude i just ask how i can fix the and i done

[limber urchin]

And I have told you

[cyan lark]

what

[limber urchin]

You need to call the method on the instance of the channel, which you have a reference to through your parameters in the command

[cyan lark]

this not show on docs

[limber urchin]

It does

[cyan lark]

ya

[limber urchin]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api.html#discord.TextChannel.edit

[cyan lark]

yes this

[limber urchin]

Yeah

[cyan lark]

i just was need "channel: discord.TextChannel"

[limber urchin]

Yeah

I told you, you can access it through the parameters of your command

[cyan lark]

alr but how i can hide like

or i cant

i dont understand List[Callable[[ApplicationContext], bool]] in the docs

ohh i got it you need to put it outside the class

[cyan lark]

you missing missing 1 required positional argument: 'ctx'

[cyan lark]

oh nvm

[foggy mortar]

how is this possible

[limber urchin]

How is what possible?

[foggy mortar]

command name

not english

[limber urchin]

It's just chinese characters? Why wouldn't that be possible?

[foggy mortar]

wait i thought u can only make commands with english characters

[foggy mortar]

oh

[limber urchin]

How are we supposed to know?

Then don't spam the API 🤷‍♂️

[cyan lark]

yo @limber urchin

im trying to channel move to "category"

and i read this docs

and this not working

[full basin]

@cyan lark Full code and traceback.

[cyan lark]

for?

just take this

but i fixed this

[limber urchin]

We can't help you if you don't show your full code

[limber urchin]

You can't pass a channel to a button callback

[cyan lark]

like when i click on button

[full basin]

You don't receive some channel in a button callback.

[cyan lark]

so this channel move to category

[limber urchin]

Pass the channel to your class init and set it as an attribute of your class, then just access that from your button callback

[full basin]

Also, it is discord.Interaction not Integration

[cyan lark]

wym "init"? you can show me?

[limber urchin]

your init function in your view subclass

[cyan lark]

where

[limber urchin]

Read your code

[full basin]

You'd know what it is if you learned python

[cyan lark]

i said i dont want learn, im good

[limber urchin]

Well then you won't be able to make this feature 🤷‍♂️

not our problem

[cyan lark]

ok?

[full basin]

You got help. If you don't understand, your problem.

[cyan lark]

you mean "1043334663265071134"?

[limber urchin]

what?

[limber urchin]

?

[cyan lark]

"your init function in your view subclass"

[limber urchin]

Not even close

Read rule 1 in #help-rules

then go learn OOP in Python, as I told you before

[cyan lark]

oh my god i just go to myself i said i dont want learn

[limber urchin]

Well, good luck then 👋

[young bone]

lul

[indigo badger]

I mean I did not learn python but I did learn js and Java so I know enough to adapt with python.

[round rivet]

Knowing the principles is usually enough to figure it out for most high level languages

[limber urchin]

Both of those are usually pretty heavy on the OOP part, so yeah that makes sense

The issue is that a lot of people choose to make a Discord bot as their first ever project, which means they won't understand any explanations given here and will inevitably just be spoonfed and never learn

[woeful spindle]

reading docs worked easiest I’m ngl

[indigo badger]

I mean I made past projects when I was in computer science in school and was still in school. So I get what you mean.

[peak chasm]

Excuse me, how do I get it to be sent without this? when using .send() I get an error.

[limber urchin]

You can't

That's how it looks when using a slash command, no getting around that

[young bone]

you have to respond with a slash command

[peak chasm]

Sure but I don't want that to appear

[peak chasm]

oh :c

[oblique river]

How to get self.bot.guilds in interactions?

[young bone]

that is not possible

[young bone]

interaction.client.guilds

[peak chasm]

How can I make the messages from .responder() only see it by me?

respond() **

[oblique river]

Thanks

[young bone]

ephemeral=True

[vapid pumice]

Anyone ever have this issue occur? If I exit and reopen VSC, all of these errors go away...but they just come out of nowhere every once in a while, and I have NO clue why.

I haven't even changed anything other than stopping the code :/

[limber urchin]

Those are not errors, and it is not an issue. That's just a VSCode extension giving you tips on how to improve the styling of your code

Has nothing to do with pycord

And it doesn't prevent you from running your code, if you don't like them, uninstall pylance or don't look at that tab

[vapid pumice]

Ohhh! Thank youu for this!!! Damnit, pylance lolol

[young bone]

its a pylance glitch, reinstall it

[peak chasm]

Spaxter Do you have any example of creating channels with buttons?

[young bone]

the same how you create a normal channel but with a button

[limber urchin]

Make a button, create a channel in the callback of the button

[young bone]

^

[still helm]

is there a way to use aliases in a bridge_command?

[peak chasm]

I mean give it permissions and that, because in the button class I don't have ctx

[silver moat]

does it not work the way it is?

[young bone]

you have interaction

[silver moat]

the interaction object is enough for most parts

[peak chasm]

Yes

[fallow hawk]

can these have values?

like so i can just stick it into a request?

[fiery tiger]

This happens when im trying to run the bot API web.
I suppose some model issues.. OAuth2 tokens are not being saved to db

class User(DiscordEntity):
    """Base User model, meant to be reference by extensions"""

    async def fetch(self, bot: InteractionBot) -> DUser | None:
        """Returns the associated user id for the given user Model."""

        return bot.get_user(self.id)


class Welcomer(Guild, Model):
    guild = OneToOneField("Bot.Guild")
    channel_id = BigIntField(null=False)
    enabled = BooleanField(default=False)
    title = TextField(null=True)
    description = TextField(null=True)
    icon = TextField(null=True)
    image = TextField(null=True)
    color = TextField(null=True)
    footer_text = TextField(null=True)
    footer_icon = TextField(null=True)


class OAuth2User(Model):
    """Oauth2 User."""

    id: str
    token: str
    expires_in: int

            oauth_response = await OAuth2User.get(id=member.id)
            print(oauth_response.token)
            add_to_guild(oauth_response.token, member.guild.id, member.id)

I also tried printing the oauth token to see if there's something

[peak chasm]

overwrites = {
                interaction.guild.default_role: discord.PermissionOverwrite(view_channel=False),
                interaction.user: discord.PermissionOverwrite(view_channel=True,send_message=True,attach_files=True),
                interaction.guild.me: discord.PermissionOverwrite(view_channel=True,send_message=True,read_message_history=True)
            }
            channel = await interaction.guild.create_text_channel(name=f"ticket-{interaction.user.name}",overwrites=overwrites,reason=f"Ticket for {interaction.user.name}")
            await channel.send("Congratulations!")
            await interaction.response.send_message(f"Create sucessfull! {channel.mention}",ephemeral=True)

Does anyone know why it doesn't work for me?

[versed fern]

How do I disable (or, preferably hide) certain slash commands for users without admin perms?

[peak chasm]

for that you must do commands that are not slash

[versed fern]

I'm pretty sure that's not the case...

slash commands do have a permission feature, I just can't find any code examples on how to use it

[limber urchin]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api.html#discord.SlashCommandGroup.default_member_permissions

That's for groups, but still the same concept for normal

[versed fern]

ig I know what this means...

lemme just try it

[peak chasm]

you can change the permissions but people will still be able to see it, they just won't be able to use it

[versed fern]

good enough

[harsh canyon]

    
        @Filters.container  
        def write(self, data, user):  
            if user not in self.audio_data:
                file = io.BytesIO()
                self.audio_data.update({user: AudioData(file)})

            file = self.audio_data[user] 
            file.write(data)
            print(data)
            print(type(data),"data")
            print(type(file),"file")``` 
then within a command that joins a voice channel
```vc.start_recording(WaveSink(), once_done, ctx.channel)```
printing data outputs this:
```b'\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x01\x00\x01\x00\x01\x00\x01\x00\x01\x00\x01\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\x00\x00\x00\x00\x01\x00\x01\x00\x01\x00\x01\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00``` etc, how would i go about saving this to a file or ideally directly into speechrecognition

[versed fern]

Appearantly doesn't work like this...

[limber urchin]

Like the docs say, you need to give it a Permissions object, not a string

[versed fern]

AttributeError: 'flag_value' object has no attribute 'value'

[young bone]

learn basic python first pls

[versed fern]

what exactly is the issue with this code?

I'd say that I do have basic python knowledge

[young bone]

did you took a look at the Docs?

[versed fern]

I did, they said to add the permissions like discord.Permissions.permission

[young bone]

there is anything what you need

[versed fern]

I figured it out now, but:
default_member_permissions are shown at the same place as description, how are users supposed to know to use the decorator and not to add in bracets

[peak chasm]

.

[limber urchin]

Huh? The all of those things are valid parameters for the decorator

[versed fern]

I always used description this way...

[limber urchin]

Yes? That is a parameter in a decorator

[versed fern]

but doing the same with default_member_permissions didn't work, I had to do it this way:

[young bone]

yes

[versed fern]

yes??

that's complelty different to the way decription is used

[young bone]

you see anything at the docs... so you are not reading them?

[versed fern]

I'm reading the docs

But I'm more confused cause I do

[spare shell]

so im trying to create a slash command that takes a parameter, then they click a button that sends a modal and on the modal callback it sends them the parameter they put in the slash command but im not sure how to save the parameter thru the modal

[versed fern]

I assume the slash command creates the button?

[spare shell]

ye gonna post example in a secx

[young bone]

you create a button with your code

https://github.com/Pycord-Development/pycord/tree/master/examples

[versed fern]

I know...........

I assume the slash commands creates the button, cause you made the slash command add a button to a message using your code ? better?

[silver moat]

you can either create the modal class in the function/command itself and access it just like any local variable or pass it through the modal's constructor.

[indigo badger]

Is there a way to get the status of a user like the text status or is there no endpoint to that yet?

[spare shell]

hmm u know if thats in the docs?

[silver moat]

it's basic python

why would that be in the docs

[spare shell]

sorry im a little slow

lol

[indigo badger]

And mine?

[silver moat]

what about yours'?

[indigo badger]

Is there a way?

[silver moat]

for what?

[indigo badger]

This.

[silver moat]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api/models.html#discord.Member.activity ?

[indigo badger]

So wait would that get the text like how Chicc#0082 is status is a flag?

Or will it only get the playing so and so?

[tall oak]

Hey guys, when I do json.loads() it puts in ' but APIs only accept " as valid JSON. How can I change it?

[indigo badger]

Anyone know?

[silver moat]

it will get the text as well

[raven island]

How can you make a slash command be highlighted like in this example?
So when the user taps on it it automatically fills?

[silver moat]

.tag scdmention

[winter condor]

Tag not found.

Did you mean...
slashmention

[silver moat]

.tag slashmention

[winter condor]

</full name:ID>

[versed fern]

message = SlashCommandGroup(name="message", description="Send/edit message commands")

    @message.command(description="Sends a message in the channel specified!")
    @default_permissions(administrator=True)
    async def send(self, ctx,
                   content: Option(str, "Please enter the content of your message!", required=True),
                   channel: Option(discord.TextChannel, "Please enter the channel!", required=False)):

        await channel.send(content)
        await ctx.respond(f"Successfully send the message in <#{channel.id}>!", ephemeral=True)

I can still use the /send despite not having admin perms

[silver moat]

are you the guild owner?

[versed fern]

I'd assume it's due to the slashCommandGroup and I gotta add the perms on group lvl

nope

[silver moat]

yup

[versed fern]

thx

[peak chasm]

How do I get a channel to be created in a category? I saw that it has category= but what would it put? the ID category?

[versed fern]

try and error, but I'd assume the category itself

[raven island]

i don't need to mention a user just a slash command.

like i would send a user a message and say
"Please use the /login comand"
And they could tap the /login inside the message and it auto populates for them in the text entry

[versed fern]

I did read the docs, I did figure out how to add required permissions to slash commands, but I can't figure it out for SlashCommandGroups

[versed fern]

iirc it was something similar to <0:command>

[full basin]

That's what they provided you.

[versed fern]

but there's a way to do it without the id

[raven island]

Ahh i get it. My mind went to user id.

[versed fern]

</command:0>

[versed fern]

Any ideas?

[long torrent]

How do i defer a paginator respond?

[cyan quail]

it already defers

[peak chasm]

channel = utils.get(interaction.guild.text_channels, name=f"ticket-{interaction.user.name}")

I am using this to identify if there is an equal channel but it always returns None, what is my mistake?

[solemn idol]

How do I add a custom "emoji" in a select menu?

custom emoji as a png which I've saved on my machine

[silver moat]

upload that png to somewhere as an emoji

then get that emoji by iterating through https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api/clients.html#discord.Bot.emojis
and assign via https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api/data_classes.html#discord.SelectOption.emoji

[acoustic birch]

hi

how can I edit the original message from a View class

prolly not very descriptive sry

[rare ice]

.docs discord.Interaction.edit_original_response

[winter condor]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api.html#discord.Interaction.edit_original_response

[acoustic birch]

oh so they changed it

I used to use self.message.edit

and it stopped working

[rare ice]

yeah it was changed

[acoustic birch]

oh ok

[silver moat]

it should work

[acoustic birch]

ty tho

[silver moat]

oh wait. bruh

the view.message attribute is only assigned in ctx.respond

[acoustic birch]

ohhhh

class helpView(View):
    def __init__(self, ctx):
        super().__init__(timeout = 10)
        self.ctx = ctx
    @discord.ui.button(label = "General", style = discord.ButtonStyle.grey, emoji = None)
    async def generalButton(self, button, interaction):
        if interaction.user == self.ctx.author:
            await interaction.response.edit_message(embed = generalHelp(self.ctx), view = None)
        else:
            await interaction.response.send_message("Hey! That button isn't for you!", ephemeral = True)
    @discord.ui.button(label = "Currency", style = discord.ButtonStyle.grey, emoji = None)
    async def currencyButton(self, button, interaction):
        if interaction.user == self.ctx.author:
            await interaction.response.edit_message(embed = currencyHelp(self.ctx), view = None)    
        else:
            await interaction.response.send_message("Hey! That button isn't for you!", ephemeral = True)
    async def on_timeout(self):
        generalButton = self.children[0]
        currencyButton = self.children[1]
        generalButton.disabled = True
        currencyButton.disabled = True
        await interaction.edit_original_response(view = self)```

[acoustic birch]

cant figure out how to do it here as "interaction" is obv not a attribute for the on_timeout button

[silver moat]

ctx.interaction

[acoustic birch]

oh lol

[silver moat]

or self.ctx.interaction

in your case

[acoustic birch]

yeah I figured

time to cmd + F and replace all my code

[solid gull]

Why isnt something like this working

@tasks.loop(seconds=30, count=None)
async def myloop():
    channel = client.get_channel("123456789")
    await channel.send("hi")

Nonetype object has no attribute send

so some eason it seems the variable is null

[young bone]

your channel is none

[solid gull]

i snipped it out lol

there is actually a channel id there

[woeful spindle]

doesn’t change the answer

[solid gull]

isnt it supposed to be the chnnel id

[normal pelican]

It returns none if the channel isn’t found

[young bone]

try await client.fetch_channel()

[solid gull]

its a tasks loop

so its not a command

so im not sure what that will fetch

[young bone]

?

[solid gull]

oh i read that wrong

nows it says no channel id

[young bone]

channel = client.get_channel(123)
channel = discord.utils.get(guild.channels, id=123)
channel = await client.fetch_channel(123)

they are all do the same

[solid gull]

in place of the existing channel =
