A quick question about enabling pre-disabled interaction buttons - I am trying to dynamically disable/enable a button depending on the response from the bot (which is either a link (button should be disabled) or just text (button should be enabled))... What would be the best way to handle such a case? (my view is structured like this: https://hastebin.com/mixeyuzibe.py)

I don't think link buttons can be disabled

Therse are not link ones, they're secondaries

it should be commands.BucketType.user I think.

The link I'm talking about is what the bot responds as a part of an embed (i.e. a field of it)

Sorry I misunderstood your question. You can use a ReGex to check if a url exists.
neat field
I know that, however would I need to put that check in the __init__ method? Or somewhere else?
silver moat
depends on when you are checking the condition. Is the embed already known when the view is initialized?
neat field
Nope, it is just before it is
(here)
embed is the embed with the response inside of it
silver moat
embed is a discord.Embed, so you can pass in the value of embed into the function and check the condition in __init__

I see. Thanks, that's what I was trying to understand 😄

Disregard my previous statement. It appears you are passing in interaction.message, which may or may not exist.
Because get_bucket expects a message with an author, you can do the following:
new_message = interaction.message
new_message.author = interaction.user
bucket = self.cd_mapping.get_bucket(new_message)

I'm trying to build a string, that holds a conversation. In discord, this conversation will be replies of messages, so message.reference exists in pycord.
I want to recursively go back through all the messages, starting with the beginning, and build a string of all the messages.
I'm having trouble thinking this through and finding a solution to recursively get all messages if message.reference exists.
This is what I'm doing now, and it works to build the previous message and the current message, but I need to keep going until there aren't anymore references and add all the text into the string..
built_message = f"{prev_convo.author.name}: {cleaned_prev_message}\n{message.author.name}: {cleaned_message}"
Any help would be 
and appreciated ❤️
quick sand
fwiw, something like this is halfway working:
cleaned_prev_message = await sanitize(prev_msg)
built_message = (
f"{prev_msg.author.name}: {cleaned_prev_message}\n" + built_message
)
if prev_msg.reference is not None:
prev_msg = await message.channel.fetch_message(
prev_msg.reference.message_id
)
but I'm missing the very first message texts...

By advice from a discord bot-help server, I uninstalled discord.py v2 and then installed py-cord 2.3.2 into PyCharm. There were two py-cord packages, one named py-cord and one named py-cord2, but py-cord2 was broken.
Upon installing py-cord 2.3.2 (and verifying that 2.3.2 is the latest version on Github too), PyCharm complains that discord.app_commands and discord.app_commands.tree are invalid/non-existent imports.
The other server suggested I try asking about this here, with the statement "that should not happen" because py-cord is a direct fork of discord.py.

Does a giveaway Bot require a database?
I say it only depends on whether you intend to persist A LOT of data in the backend. Reasons to persist bot-side data include that your bot won't track messages (or events such as reactions) which occurred before your bot joined the server, or occurred if your bot is in the server but shut down/offline for any reason. At that point your bot only tracks the last 5000 messages it saw. So if your bot ever goes down, has to be restarted, etc, it loses track of anything/everything that happened before it shutdown. If you won't persist A LOT of data, you can just serialize objects or arrays (aka lists/dicts/etc) in Python, but if you will persist A LOT or if you'll persist for A LOT OF TARGETS then you'd benefit from a relational database.

If your intention is to post a message and track reactions as "raffle tickets" then you need to know the Guild ID (unless the bot only lives in one Guild which is what API calls a server) and yes, you should store the Channel ID and the Message ID and you can also store the specific Emoji ID which represents the reaction itself, so you can provide options.
Sorry for ping-spam if that happened to anybody. I switched that from an @ to a reply for clarity.
But again, you can store all of that just as easily as a class-instance attribute and serialize the instances to disk. You don't need a relational database for that, especially if it's a custom bot for just 1 server

Depends on what you intend to host it on. Debian and forks like Ubuntu default to Maria, which is a fork of MySQL. Oracle's actual MySQL is fine too. I also really like SQLite, which is A LOT EASIER than MySQL, especially for making backups and such, and doesn't require separate hosting. MySQL/Maria is a solution for 88 different services which all need to access the same database, where the DB lives on one server and the remote clients live on other servers.

So if you want users to log into your website and sign up for giveaways on their Discord server, then yes, MySQL is a better choice.

SQLite, for fast/easy and also for bot-only, no website.

Just want to put this out there: If you decide on a web-based database, like MySQL, don't shy away from good servers like Debian/Ubuntu because they use Maria (the MySQL fork) instead of the original. You literally use the same Connector for both, whether it's Python or PHP or DotNET or embedded C/++, you literally use the same commandset at the CLI, and you literally have all the same features and SQL syntaxes. Where Maria diverges are all "extras" and not "basics"

I just said main differences are non-existent, as far as you should be concerned at your stated skill level. And I said before that a web-based DB is for when you have multiple clients, like 2 websites and a bot, all using the same data, but not all hosted on the same box. A file-based DB can do the same thing if your bot and webserver are all in the same server environment, but if you needed to access a file-based DB from a different network/internet host you would have to jerry-rig your own SSH interface or web-api type thing to make that happen.
MySQL for example allows direct TCP/IP connections to be SSL-encrypted, but if you wanted to imitate that with SQLite you would have to set up Apache (or whatever webserver you like) to proxy database queries for you.
fervent cradle
Thank you, just one last question (hopefully), If the bot is being hosted on another PC than it is being created/tested on will that affect the database?

mmm so when i try and link a user in a response, sometimes i get the actual user, but most of the time i just get a highlighted <@[user id]> can the bot just not see those users somehow?
gleaming falcon
IIRC, it's something to do with Discord's crappy caching on your local client, not the bot.
alpine kernel
so it's just on my end and some users might see the actual name?
or will all users have to restart discord for it to update
gleaming falcon
Some, yes. Note that you do have to share a server with the user, just to make that clear for it to even have a chance to work. I don't think you're able to enumerate random user Ids.
But even in times where you do, I have seen it break
alpine kernel
yeah i understood some aspect of the bot needing to 'see' the user someway

correct answer ^

Yeah, it's a super-frustrating issue for sure, I'd do everything I could to try to mitigate it, too. Just trying to save you the headache since I know I've gone through this whole process, too.
Strangely I don't see it mentioned a lot.
olive fog
@alpine kernel So when this occurs, does the Mention still work as expected on the targeted user's end?
alpine kernel
I dunno, i'll have to do more testing
gleaming falcon
I'd have to imagine yes, since it's a caching issue and presumably the targeted user has their own information
olive fog
If so, then just to clarify for anybody affected by the bug, you could append something like:
f"({user_object.name}#{user_object.discriminator})"
after the mention itself.
alpine kernel
yeah I'll have to figure something like that out
olive fog
I'm reading through https://guide.pycord.dev/interactions and when I follow the links to User Commands and Message Commands it bounces me to the raw Discord API documentation on JSON interchange. Does that mean these features are not implemented in py-cord? Edit: Sorry about the raw string. I was trying to avoid embed-spam Discord attaches to web-links and then realized that not being able to click on a link is worse
Oh, nevermind. I found a working link further down the page. There are a couple of 404s in between there though.
alpine kernel
man, frustrating day heh cant even get get_user to work, just returns none >.<

@alpine kernel I just discovered bot.get_or_fetch_user(id) while looking at my own project. fetch_user is evidently for working around the cache problem, and get_or_fetch_user checks the cache then fetches as needed.

You can only use await inside a function marked async, but you can always call non-async from anywhere.

Again, get_user looks in the cache and fetch_user makes a Discord API request

Supposedly you can call bot.reload_extension(name, *, package=None) at runtime. You would have to create a regular command to make the bot do that, though, so you could tell it what to do while it was online. And of course stop it to refresh the new code.

The only good way to restart your bot is to shut it down and have your process manager handle it. You can shutdown your bot by running Bot.close().
Do use:
- run your bot in a process manager such as:
- systemd
- openrc (gentoo, devuan)
- runit (void linux)
- supervisord
- upstart (old ubuntu)
- docker
- manually reboot it
Do not use:
- a bash loop (it can eat your C-c by rapidly spawning python and if your bot fails it won't stop it from constantly failing)
- subprocess.call (you will eat your memory up by not letting your old processes die)
- os.exec*

Hi, sorry for the inconvenience, I've been looking for a solution to my problem for about 2 hours and I haven't found anything on the internet or in a post here.
So, I want to make a DropDownMenu where the values are put from the command, example :
class MyView(discord.ui.View):
#options = options that i want
@discord.ui.select(
placeholder = "Choose a Flavor!",
min_values = 1,
max_values = 1,
options = options
)
async def select_callback(self, select, interaction):
await interaction.response.send_message(f"Awesome! I like {select.values[0]} too!")
@bot.slash_command(name="view", help="Change the area of the character")
async def view(ctx):
options = [ # the list of options from which users can choose, a required field
discord.SelectOption(
label="Vanilla",
description="Pick this if you like vanilla!"
),
discord.SelectOption(
label="Chocolate",
description="Pick this if you like chocolate!"
),
discord.SelectOption(
label="Strawberry",
description="Pick this if you like strawberry!"
)
]
await ctx.respond("t", ephemeral = True, view = MyView(options))
character.save_to_db()```
But I can't find anything on how to do it, and on my own I have no idea.
Is there anyone who has a solution ?did you uninstall py-cord and reinstall it?
olive fog
I installed py-cord fresh after that, yes. I think PyCharm uses PyPi
I never had py-cord and discord.py installed alongside each other.
I removed discord.py, then I installed py-cord.
young bone
which version?
olive fog
2.3.2
young bone
Can you create a new project and try it there again?
olive fog
Sure. That will take a few though.
Done. I totally deleted every __pycache__ and PyCharm's .idea and the existing venv directory. I then re-created the project, re-created the venv, re-installed python-dotenv and py-code -- run the bot, joins the server, updates the context menu item, but clicking on the context menu item results in that little box which says "This interaction failed" and nothing else. No errors, no python trace, nothing.
For clarity: When building my bot's "invitation link" in the OAUTH2 configuration, I very carefully combed through all the possible scopes alongside the Discord API docs and I selected absolutely every scope except the 4 or 6 marked "Requires approval from Discord" which are about DMs and RPC.
I modified the code thus:@bot.user_command(name=r"Welcomes User") async def ciao(ctx, member: discord.Member): print('user command triggered') await ctx.respond(f"Ciao {member.mention}")
and the print never occurs either, so it seems like the interaction is never relayed to my coroutine.

then the ID's definitely wrong
fetch_user is guaranteed to work on any real user
as for the initial issue, unlike fetch_user, get_or_fetch_user explicitly doesn't error if the fetch fails; it'll just return None

wouldnt be out of the ordinary for me to be missing something small

MyBot = discord.Bot(intents=intents)
but from the above intents doesnt seem to be the issue, i've also just ran with default intents
limber urchin
Yeah no, you definitely have an invalid ID then
cyan quail
fwiw, if you manually input the IDs one common misstep people make is copying the message ID instead of the user ID
limber urchin
You're most likely saving your IDs incorrectly somehow in your json file
unless you manually input them and copied the wrong id, yeah ^
alpine kernel
yeah i'm doing something wrong but I dont know what,
so if I do
user = "user number here"
print(type(user))
it says str object is not callable, am I dumb shouldn't that work? this isnt even using json, just a string
i think i'm missing something about working in async functions

alpine kernel
god i'm dumb
cyan quail
rip
limber urchin
oof
alpine kernel
ok so that kinda leads me to another question, i want to use stuff like 'class' as a parameter name at least to SHOW on a option for a command, but it shadows is there any way to display it as one name but change how the variable is named?
only thing I can think of is just using something like class_
cyan quail
in Option(...) set name
alpine kernel
ok I tried that, didnt work but i'll try it again and not be dumb
cyan quail
https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api/application_commands.html#discord.Option.name
The name of this option visible in the UI. Inherits from the variable name if not provided as a parameter.
it SHOULD work but options have a rocky history so who knows

limber urchin
You might have to refresh your Discord client for them to update with Ctrl + R

Can you show your error handling code where you get the string of permissions.
You could turn the list into a dict where the keys are your list of permissions and the values are all true or false depending on your situation.
Than pass it to the permissions constrctor like in the accepted answer of this SO post
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1496346/passing-a-list-of-kwargs

That really depends on how long a giveaway lasts. If it's 5 minutes or less, it wouldn't hurt anything if the bot crashed in the middle and the giveaway had to be restarted after the bot was restarted. If it's a day or two, then definitely persist the data involved.
Also thanks for saying I'm nice. Mostly people tell me I'm "aggressive" and "scary" or that my terminology is too technical.
I try to be nice!
@fervent cradle Also, gigabytes of storage are cheap AF so don't worry about deleting giveaways after they're done. Make a command Guild admins can use to review past giveaways.
A whole novel worth of raw text is to a gigabyte of storage is as a fist-sized rock is to a 5-gallon bucket.

I am trying to setup to basic events, on_member_join and on_member_leave. When leaving and joining the server with the bot my bot is not sending in the embeds that are stated.
Upon checking console no error or stack trace appears.

I'm trying to start the bot coroutine using the .start() method, then once the bot has started, start a command line tool coroutine. However, when I create both tasks, the command line tool starts first and freezes the program waiting for an input. Any idea how I can make sure the bot coroutine starts fully before I start the command line tool?
the bot coroutine also freezes the program

I suspect it's because both are trying to access the terminal at the same time

Not directly pycord related, but perhaps might be the answer to my issue ...
I am posting to a webhook with a payload. I am intentionally doing some error testing by passing a bad embed field. I could've sworn that discord was more verbose about pointing out issues, but all I got was
{'embeds': ['0']}
How do I get better insight into issues? Pycord has a webhook client; would using that give me additional context?

async def button_callback(self, button, interaction):
await interaction.defer() # Defer the interaction
time.sleep(1) # Sleep for 1 second
embed = discord.Embed(title="Button clicked!", description="You clicked the button!") # Create an embed
await interaction.response.send_message(embed= embed) # Send a message when the button is clicked

Variable scoping
Use bot vars if you want to retain values across functions
?tag botvar
obtuse juncoBOT
Need to keep track of a variable between functions? No problem!
⚠️ Careful what you name it though, else you might overwrite something ⚠️
Just add it to your commands.Bot or discord.Client instance like so:
bot = commands.Bot(...)
bot.my_variable = 0
async def foo():
bot.my_variable += 1
# In a cog
@commands.command()
async def counter(self,ctx):
await ctx.send("Current Counter is at {}".format(ctx.bot.my_variable))
This also allows you to access this from other cogs/extensions/functions. Anywhere you have access to the bot instance
ornate current

so when I am using tasks.loop ctrl + c does not stop the bot, any fixes?

@fervent cradle Not sure how you can be at a beginner's skill level and not use an IDE that annoyingly whines about PEP8/formatting errors. May I suggest PyCharm Community Edition? It should not only help you format things so most Python programmers can read it intuitively, but it should also complain about errors like this one before you try to run the program.

And it doesn't tell you how many spaces to put between the end of one class block and the start of another, or between function defs?
It took me quite a few reads before I figured out that your class and its method are both lowercased 'create'
So bot.add_cog(create.create(bot))
Just saying. It'd be nice if you'd help folks who want to help you.
proud mason
so when I am using `tasks.loop` ctrl + c does not stop the bot, any fixes?
Do you have a raw except block in that code?

I'm actually quite annoyed by PyCharm/PEP8 wanting me to use lower_case_style instead of camelCase for function arguments and variables, but I go with it because it makes the code more readable for folks who don't program in umpteen lingos.

Even dinking around in my private dev server where I'm the only user, I've found that unless responding directly to a discord.Message or discord.ext.commands.Context which already contains those objects, it is best to use guild.fetch_whatever and bot.fetch_whatever due to client-side caching issues.
That may be just my experience, but it derives my methodology.

Ctx.guild ctx.author and ctx.channel are guaranteed to be present in a Slash cmd from what i remember. Unless it isn't a Slash cmd (i didn't check)
If you are worried about the cache, you should use partial objects rather than fetching them if you just want to send a message

obtuse juncoBOT
An XY problem is when you're trying to ask about your attempted solution, rather than your actual problem.
You are trying to solve problem X, using solution Y. Instead of asking for help with X, you ask about Y. This only results in frustration as whoever is trying to help you needs to ask several questions before even beginning to help you with your actual issue, wasting both their own, and your time. Always include as much information as you can about your problem, including attempted solutions. If there are solutions you've ruled out, include them along with an explanation as to why you've ruled them out.

Is there a way to get the raw json of on_message?
limber urchin
raw json?
young bone
you mean just a json file?
woven gulch
I want to serialize all messages and events into JSON so I can ingest them into Elasticsearch
young bone
?tag nojson
obtuse juncoBOT
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)

logging.info(f'Message from {message.author} (ID: {message.author.id}) in {message.channel} attachments {message.attachments} '

You also need to specify in your privacy policy that you're logging messages, as it's against ToS to store any data that you don't actually need

@green hinge I recently had the same problem. On the Discord Developer page, where you set up your App or Bot, there are a lot of demands for "a redirect URL" which is just confusing language. If you're on the first item, there are several of those demands which are OPTIONAL, and should all be blank if you're using a library like py-cord, because they redirect Discord messages from the WebSocket aka Gateway API to the HTTP aka REST API.
The only redirect URL you should fill in is on the OAUTH2 config page
green hinge
you know what they are doing?
The first one always sends the embed to the channel with the channel_id. So in this case TICKET_CHANNEL_ID.
And in the second case the embed is always sent to the channel where the slash command is executed or do I have something wrong?

When selecting values in a Select and drop focus, it submits the value, which then appears to refresh the UI item.
