instead of await interaction.guild.....etc use await category.create_text_channel(name="aaa")

if your original code isn't working, it's likely the category var isn't getting filled at all

try to set your list copy in an on_ready listener
the module must not be loaded yet. This can happen if you try to load info in the init

why are you using both interaction.guild and bot.get_guild?
full widget
sure
if not, throw a print(category) in there to check what you're getting from that call
limber urchin
get_channel only works if the channel is cached
full widget
also remember you will need to respond to the interaction to get it to not error out
limber urchin
which it won't always be
somber frost
@limber urchin @full widget thank you very much
do i just need to respond with a message to close the modal?
oh you dont even know my code, i opened a modal and the channel gets created when the modal submit button is pressed
full widget
ok
somber frost
when i then respond with an ephemeral message, will the modal close?
full widget
the modal will close when you hit submit
but you need to respond with something to avoid "the application did not respond"
full widget
also as spaxter said, consider changing to category = interaction.guild.get_channel(....) or await interaction.guild.fetch_channel(....)
to avoid issues with caching

Is editing the guild specific integration permissions through a bot possible?
I have a couple commands that I want only a specific role to be able to use, and while setting a limit in the server integration settings is the cleanest way to do this, every time I restart the bot, these commands get reloaded which resets the server specific permissions

https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/understanding-class-and-instance-variables-in-python-3
https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/classes.html
There's a difference between a class and an instance. Think of it like this:
- A class is like a blueprint, or a concept. It defines what something should have, but it's not the same as actually having it.
- An instance is the 'realized' version of the class, it contains everything that the class defines should be on it, but you can actually access and interact with these features.
Let's consider the Cat. We know a Cat has a name and an age, but Cat.age won't work, because Cat isn't an actual cat, it just represents the concept of a cat. It's like asking "What is the age of a cat?" - it doesn't make sense, because we need to have an actual cat.
mimi on the other hand is an instance of a Cat - it has everything a Cat should have. Maybe mimi was constructed, like mimi = Cat("Mimi", age=4), or maybe mimi was retrieved from somewhere else, like house.cats[0], but in any case, it has everything we need, and mimi.age will rightfully give us 4.
There are many situations in Object Oriented Programming where you will need an instance instead of a class to perform an operation properly (in fact, you almost always need an instance instead of a class), and these cases will usually be documented.
You should learn a good amount about Object Oriented Programming before working extensively with Pycord.

Hey, how to set an image in a embed object, without assign it ? For example :
discord.Embed(
title=f"Test" ,
description=f"\u200b"
,color = 0xeb571c,fields=[
discord.EmbedField(name=f"test",value="Test")])```
discord.Embed.set_thumbnail() require a "self" parameter. But what is this self if i put it into the discord.Embed() objectHuh?
You don't call the method directly on the class, you need an instance of the Embed object to set the thumbnail
somber remnant
So i can't set a thumbnail without create an instance ?
limber urchin
What's stopping you from creating an instance??
somber remnant
it is more practical and visual, and allows me to arrange them neatly in precise lists
limber urchin
I mean you do you, but I think that would look really messy and definitely not a pythonic coding style
somber remnant
well i need to make much embed so it's pretty cool to make them like this instead of embed = ...
embed.add .....
embedlist.append(embed)
for example
Also, allow me to put it into a async function with parameters and is easy to use
that's how i code, ik there's others ways but this one pretty good for me
limber urchin
You can still do that with loops and functions
Either way, you should read the docs
somber remnant
It would take longer than defining each embed by hand as they will all be different
somber remnant
<https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/data_classes.html#discord.Embed>
Already check it, as I say discord.Embed.set_thumbnail require self but there's no self into the discord.Embed()
limber urchin
I'm not talking about the set_thumbnail method
There are properties of the embed you can define in the constructor
somber remnant
somber remnant
So you have to use the method on an instance
Absolutely no way around it? I have 180 embeds to do 
Ho i have an idea
set_thumbnail on the discord.Embed directly
i'll try this

limber urchin
Override the close method of your bot
Don't forget to call super().close() as well, otherwise your bot won't close properly
fervent cradle
cursor.execute("SELECT * FROM `users` ORDER BY `users`.`steam_id` ASC") how would i get the persons steam id with the persons discord ID
limber urchin
what
jaunty raft
like this.
How many rows do you want to get in return?
do you want one, or all, or in size
like an amount of rows that you want it to return
jaunty raft
so you want them all
limber urchin
You can use a simple WHERE in your SQL statement
jaunty raft
import pymysql
connection = pymysql.connect(host="localhost", port=8889, user="root", passwd="root", database="SELECTION_DB")
cursor = connection.cursor()
cursor.execute("QUERY HERE")
fetch = cursor.fetchall() # this will get all results from the query
cursor.close()
connection.close()
cursor = connection.cursor()
cursor.execute("SELECT * FROM `users` ORDER BY `users`.`steam_id` ASC")
fetch = cursor.fetchall() # this will get all results from the query
fetchone = cursor.fetchone() # will get the first row
fetchmany = cursor.fetchmany(int) # this will get an amount of rows
cursor.close()
connection.close()```why do you have fetch, fetchone and fetchmany in the same code?
jaunty raft
I wanted to show which one he can choose
but I see I made a mistake
connection = pymysql.connect(host="localhost", port=3306, user="opqfulkp", passwd="", database="users")
cursor = connection.cursor()
cursor.execute("SELECT * FROM `users` ORDER BY `users`.`steam_id` ASC")
fetch = cursor.fetchall() # this will get all results from the query -> will return an empty tuple if nothing is matching
cursor.close()
connection.close()

Haven’t used discord.File objects in a while, I saw that the file object has an attribute fp which is a “*file-like object opened in binary mode *” (according to the docs). Is this what I use in open() to read it? My use case is a discord.File slash command option which is supposed to be a json file, and I want to get a dictionary from that json file.
.rtfm discord.File.fp

You can open a file in binary mode by adding 'b' to the mode parameter in the open function.
E.g
with open('myfile.txt', 'rb') as f:

Ok, so will f be a json object?
limber urchin
It will not, it's going to be a BufferedReader. If you want it as a dict you just need to read it normally and turn it into json
import json
with open('myfile.txt', 'r') as f:
my_dict = json.loads(f)
or something.
I realize now you're asking how to turn a binary mode file into JSON, and not the other way around
rare ice
Oh I see. So I have file as the discord.File object (test.json). I can’t seem to use it in open(). How would I ago about making that eligible to use in `open()? Says it only takes str, bytes or os.PathLike object. I assume I need to turn it into a bytes object.
limber urchin
You should be able to call read() on the file object to turn it to text, and then just use json.loads on that

I have a function with the decorator @commands.has_permissions(manage_messages=True). Whenever this function is called from a user who doesn't have the perms, it throws an error on stdout, but doesn't send a message to the user stating that they do not have perms. What is the correct way to handle this? I have tried using try and except, but since it's a decorator they do not run.

JSON is a convenient and easy-to-read data storage protocol that's widely accepted by most programming languages. However, we caution against its use for storing and retrieving data in an asynchronous environment like a Discord bot. Don’t use json!
- It's a file-based data storage, which makes it vulnerable to race conditions
- You'll need to implement your own synchronization primitives to avoid corrupting data
- If you're not careful, you could accidentally wipe your entire JSON file.
Solution? Use a database. Recommended schema are SQLite, PostgreSQL, and MongoDB.
- Async libraries exist on pypi for each of these
sqlite --aiosqlite(or Danny's wrapper,?tag asqlite)
postgresql --asyncpg
mongodb --motor - Databases organize your data into tables, and are fast at inserting, retrieving, and removing records
- You can impose uniqueness constraints to ensure against duplication
- The Python libraries enforce synchronization for you
- The query language is intuitive, you can get running with simple queries in just a few hours!

Why not to use json files for data storage
JSON files are commonly used to store data that is read by a program, however, they are unsuitable for storing dynamic data due to a number of reasons.
It is recommended to use a DBMS (Database Management System) as they come with optimized technologies for storing and retrieving information.
Advantages of using a database:
- Database tables can be related, making it easy to separate your information into multiple tables and only fetch what you need
- Databases allow you to use a query/data processing language to make complex data operations easier with less code
- One misplaced character will corrupt an entire file. A database very rarely experiences corruptions due to their automatic handling of data integrity
- Transactions in SQL databases allow you to revert unwanted changes and prevent data corruption in the case of an error
- Databases have support for indexes, allowing retrieval of some data to be extremely fast
- It is very easy to update existing data in a database, as opposed to re-writing a file
- Databases are reliable
Popular database management systems:
- SQLite3 (File based, no need for a server setup, SQLite is the most used database engine in the world)
- MongoDB (Stores data in documents a similar manner to JSON format, easy for beginners)
- PostgreSQL (Very popular and robust SQL based database management system)
- MySQL (Another popular SQL based system, good start for learning SQL)

Is there a way to have slash commands separated in different files?
If so, how would you do that?

The same way you do with any commands, cogs

Do I have to use commands.bot or can I keep discord.bot?
proud mason
You can use discord.Bot if you only want Slash cmds and not prefix cmds
You have to use discord.Cog instead of commands.Cog then
Rest of the stuff is almost the same
zinc cloak
You have to use `discord.Cog` instead of `commands.Cog` then

Why NOT to use Repl.it as a hosting platform
You should not use Repl.it to host your bot.
It may be a nice option as its "free" but you should use something else considering the major flaws.
- The machines are super underpowered.
-
- This means your bot will lag a lot as it gets bigger.
- You'll need a web server alongside your bot to prevent it from being shut off.
-
- This isn't a trivial task, and eats more of the machines power.
- Repl.it uses an ephemeral file system.
-
- This means any file you saved via your bot will be overwritten when you next launch.
IMPORTANT
- They use a shared IP for everything running on the service.
This one is important - if someone is running a user bot on their service and gets banned, everyone on that IP will be banned. Including you.
Please avoid using repl.it to host your bot. It's not worth the trouble.
If you're looking for free options, consider using AWS/Google Cloud Platform/Azure/Railway and its respective free tiers or just pay for an actual VPS.

You need to learn basic python. Your class does not have a init.
This is not to shame on you or anything but knowing Object Orientation is important for using pycord.
The answer would be you need to add func init to your Button class.

Oh yeah that's fine. You can do that. You would need to pass ctx.command to the modal init and assign it to an object variable
Then during callback check the command using if else and send accordingly
Don't forget you need to respond to the interaction too
