Damn

Oki how do I make it just work with one server?

[young bone]

set the guild id to the command

[hushed cargo]

Ohhh oki Tyty

[meager heron]

How can I check if my bot has manage_webhooks permission in a given channel?

When I run ctx.channel.permissions_for(ctx.bot.user), I get an error stating ClientUser object has no attribute '_roles'

Ah, I found it. I wanted ctx.guild.me

[harsh canyon]

Hi so I was makeing a gif command and for some reason every time it sends the gif will not load in the embed. ```py
@client.command()
async def gifs(ctx):
subreddit = reddit.subreddit("gifs")
top = subreddit.top(limit = 50)
all_subs = []

for submission in top:
all_subs.append(submission)

random_sub = random.choice(all_subs)

name = random_sub.title
url = random_sub.url

em = discord.Embed(title= name)

em.set_image(url = url)

await ctx.send(embed=em)

I am useing Praw to get the posts.

Anyone know a fix to this?

[young bone]

what is Praw?

[silver moat]

python reddit api wrapper

[fervent cradle]

how to send image via base64 ?

[indigo badger]

Do you know a fix?

[young bone]

how should we know how to fix it?

[silver moat]

is url a valid url?

[indigo badger]

Yes.

[young bone]

any errors?

[indigo badger]

Nope.

It sends the embed but does not show the gif.

[indigo badger]

Code is here.

[silver moat]

is the gif spot loading or non-exist?

[indigo badger]

Shows that .

And says failed to load image when I click on it.

[silver moat]

url shows the url of the post I believe

so the url is not valid

[indigo badger]

Well I clicked the url and it sent me to the website.

[silver moat]

yeah the url should send to an image

or gif

not a website

[indigo badger]

Ya it is the gif that is on the website.

[silver moat]

let me make this clearer: the url should SEND you DIRECTLY to an IMAGE-LIKE file

[young bone]

https://preview.redd.it/sreh2xbd1uda1.jpg?width=960&crop=smart&auto=webp&v=enabled&s=a2020b300e66920e3b1f8c4971c52b991b78a50c I wonder if this would work

[fervent cradle]

image = base64 jpeg ...

[silver moat]

are you sending a local file?

[fervent cradle]

no ?

[silver moat]

you should use the fp parameter. What type is image?

[fervent cradle]

jpeg base64

data:image/jpeg;base64

[silver moat]

python datatype

[young bone]

can you show more code pls?

[fervent cradle]

what ?

[silver moat]

is it a string, byte, or what

[fervent cradle]

base64

string

[young bone]

[silver moat]

yeah then File(fp=image)

[fervent cradle]

sends nothing and no error

image = base64 ...

[full basin]

Can you actually show how you're defining it

[fervent cradle]

request and json

[silver moat]

?tag request

[obtuse junco]

No tag request found.

[silver moat]

?tag blocking

[obtuse junco]

No tag blocking found.

[full basin]

.requests

[winter condor]

Why you should not use the requests library for your bot
requests is a popular HTTP library for Python. It is however not a good option for Discord bots, since it is not async and blocking.

This essentially means that your bot will not be able to execute any code at all while a request is happening. Since requests usually take a few seconds to complete, this can have a detrimental effect on your bot's performance. E.g if a user executes a command that performs a request taking 5 seconds to complete, no one else will be able to use your bot for those 5 seconds.

Please look at using a HTTP library that has async support, such as aiohttp or httpx

[fervent cradle]

okey

and ?

how to do haha

[full basin]

Print image

And print type(image)

And show the console

[silver moat]

because we still don't know what it is

[fervent cradle]

oh shit

str

hymmm

idk

[silver moat]

filename="image.jpeg"?

[indigo badger]

But it does work with links outside of the embed that is what is weird.

Could it be because I am trying to load a image when a gif is not really a image?

Or no?

[hushed cargo]

im doing a view thing like this
`
SelectCommand = Select(blah blah blah)
async def SelectCommandCallback(select, interaction):
blah blah blah
SelectCommand.callback = SelectCommandCallback

view = View()
view.add_item(SelectCommand)
`
but when its run it says select is missing- how do i get?

[silver moat]

send traceback

[hushed cargo]

wut?

[silver moat]

send the error

with the on line x things

[hushed cargo]

the problem is it doesnt know wut select is-

[silver moat]

async def SelectCommandCallback(select, interaction): should be async def SelectCommandCallback(interaction):

[hushed cargo]

how do i get the selection?

[silver moat]

with SelectCommand

[hushed cargo]

rdfsuhijyarfijlsu im dum- howw

i need the callback to do different stuffs based on wut was selected

[silver moat]

SelectCommand.values ?

also, https://visualgit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/pages/naming_convention.html

[hushed cargo]

nuu this better naming

thank you-

its working nowww

[silver moat]

yw

[hushed cargo]

also reason this one has weird names is bc its wut im using to reset my commands

like reloading them

sorry bad choice of words-

[proud mason]

Praw is blocking. Using asyncpraw

[limber urchin]

discord.Member.kick?

You need to learn how OOP works in Python before making a bot

[fervent cradle]

maybe

[limber urchin]

Read #help-rules

[harsh garden]

how can I make the slash command only visible and available to admins?

[proud mason]

I believe you have to use default permissions

[errant crane]

Here's the slash perms example.

[empty kraken]

Hey guys, i want to make a bot which includes image generation. but as you know PILLOW is really slow and it is not supporting async either. How can i solve this?
Should i make a webserver where images will be generated and bot can just read bytes and send it, or should i do some queued image generator in another thread with callbacks?

[proud mason]

Well you can use asyncio.to_thread which makes stuff a lot easier

And are you using PIL or Pillow

[proud mason]

I figured i should ping

[empty kraken]

they are same, aren't they?

[proud mason]

I remember reading smth that said PIL is advanced and being maintained while Pillow is no longer maintained. But I have no idea if that's true

im wrong

its the opposite

💀

pillow is the maintained onee

[loud holly]

has anything happened with member_count which apparently doesn't exist in Guild

[proud mason]

show pip list

[loud holly]

suddenly broke

[proud mason]

you have member intents?

[loud holly]

yes

I have all intents enabled

enabled it on the apps as well

[proud mason]

hmm

check if it works with stable release

(2.3.2)

[proud mason]

what originally is image ?

a string of bytes?

[loud holly]

I ran it in 3.10 and it works fine, I'll try and see running on my machine later on

if it works, I'll see reinstalling everything on the container itself

[fervent cradle]

okey i fixed it

but

[loud holly]

do u know asyncio?

if not you should learn it

[fervent cradle]

nio

no*

[proud mason]

Learning asyncio basics is really really important for using pycord

Also, why that while true loop? What are you trying to implement

[signal stratus]

How do I import all Intents without the presence intent?

[proud mason]

Intents.all() and then intents.presense = False

[signal stratus]

So like this?

[fervent cradle]

why its dont work ?

[full basin]

Use actual loop tasks and not while loops

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

[fervent cradle]

is it possible to loop with variables?

async def time_task(xyz, xyz2):

and start

?

[full basin]

[frank thistle]

Is discord dying? None of my bots have any slash commands registered anymore

[full basin]

https://discordstatus.com/incidents/dr5kywl9dwg9

[frank thistle]

Ty

[full basin]

Why is there a comma at the end of the first line

[signal stratus]

oh lol

idk

[alpine kernel]

is using an asyncio mutex lock common practice for something that might set the state of a bot?

[fervent cradle]

Is it somehow possible to catch 2 errors in a try-catch block? If so, how?

[proud mason]

yep

[proud mason]

loop.create_task is not a coroutine tbh. asyncio.create_task is preferable

just use tasks extension. it is much better

[proud mason]

yes

[proud mason]

damn TIL having a comma at the end makes it a tuple
damn lmao

[proud mason]

i would rather use asyncio Events ?

[waxen skiff]

import discord
from discord.ext import commands
import os, sys
from views.SeedsPlantsButton import SeedsPlantsButton
sys.path.append(os.path.abspath('..'))
import db.utils as utils```

i dont understand why my cogs arent loading or erroring but my imports are correct

it worked before i split stuff up into seperate files

[alpine kernel]

I'll take a look at it ty

[fervent cradle]

do from cogs.views.SeedPlantsButtons you can't have spaces in folder names btw

[proud mason]

1 google search away
https://stackoverflow.com/a/6470452/13088701

[waxen skiff]

you can

[fervent cradle]

I don't think you can, importing messes up when you try to import a folder or file with spaces in it

[proud mason]

why views inside a folder named cogs? keep cogs in a separate folder and views in a separate one

[fervent cradle]

ty

[waxen skiff]

ive tried

doesnt work

[proud mason]

what doesnt work?

[fervent cradle]

and xyz() dont work

only recive

[green hinge]

Is that possible?

@discord.ui.select(placeholder="Wähle einen Spot aus", options=get_water)```

[proud mason]

uh can i ask wth are you doing?
also use asyncio.gather if you want to start multiple tasks simultaneously

dont use requests

use aiohttp

?tag blocking

[obtuse junco]

No tag blocking found.

[proud mason]

.blocking

ugh

[fervent cradle]

hymm okey

[proud mason]

?tag aiohttp

[obtuse junco]

Use aiohttp.
requests and urllib are blocking. Do not use these libraries within your asynchronous code as they're not asynchronous.
(http://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/faq.html#what-does-blocking-mean)

discord.py uses aiohttp, so it should already be installed. An example of code using aiohttp and discord.py:

async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as cs:
    async with cs.get('https://httpbin.org/json%27') as r:
        res = await r.json()  # returns dict
        await ctx.send(res['slideshow']['author']) 

For more help, see aiohttp's documentation: <http://aiohttp.readthedocs.io/en/stable/>

[proud mason]

what part do you need help with?

?tag xy

[obtuse junco]

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.

[green hinge]

With the select menu, can I get the options from the get_water function or do I have to specify a static list as an option?

[proud mason]

yes you can do that but i really suggest you subclass the select menu

[green hinge]

Do you mean like this?

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

    async def get_water(ctx: discord.AutocompleteContext):

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

    @discord.ui.select(placeholder="Wähle einen Spot aus", options=GetOptions.get_water)```

[proud mason]

no

[fervent cradle]

?

dont work

still

idk sorry

[proud mason]

@discord.ui.select is a decorator that works inside a view
you need to use thee super().__init__ to pass options when subclassing

slash cmds broken for me for some reason. let me pull up an example

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

smth like that

[green hinge]

Discord API has problems

[proud mason]

do you know basic asyncio? it is always great to learn it

dont use requests and websocket. they are blocking. use aiohttp

[proud mason]

oof

[green hinge]

Is this as correct as I thought it was?

async def get_water(ctx: discord.AutocompleteContext):
      waters = await dab.get_waters()
      return [water[1] for water in waters if water[1].startswith(ctx.options["gewässer"])]

class Dropdown(discord.ui.Select):
    def __init__(self, bot: discord.Bot):
        self.bot = bot
        options = get_water()
        super().__init__(
            placeholder="Wähle das Gewässer aus",
            min_values=1,
            max_values=1,
            options=options,
        )
        
    async def callback(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):
      await interaction.response.send_message(f"Deine Auswahl ist: {self.values[0]}")


class SpotSettings(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self, bot: discord.Bot):
        self.bot = bot
        super().__init__(timeout=None)

        self.add_item(Dropdown(self.bot))```

[frank shale]

Is that why all my commands disappeared?

Like, it was working fine today, but now all commands are gone

[fervent cradle]

yes

[frank shale]

Ok happy than it is not my problem ^

[loud holly]

what the typing intent used for?

what is its purpose exactly

[young bone]

you could have discord.Member and discord.Channel in one

[waxen skiff]

i like how instead of it erroring it just doesnt load the cog

makes it very easy to debug

[loud holly]

so basically discord.Member and discord.Channel to find data, you need to have typing enabled?

I'm trying to basically remove intents that I'm not using

so I'm going through all the intents

[young bone]

eh

you can just do intents=discord.Intents.all()

[loud holly]

true however I'm surviving on the edge in terms of RAM usuage

I can't upgrade the server bc I don't have funds

[waxen skiff]

how can i make slash commands have options

[young bone]

lemme get the list

[young bone]

the same like a normal command

[waxen skiff]

for an arg

alright

and set a description for an arg?

[young bone]

description=""?

[loud holly]

description=""

[young bone]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api/data_classes.html#discord.Intents
there you have the list

[loud holly]

ty however it doesn't have much explanation for typing intents which was why I was confused for why does it exist

[young bone]

oh, mhm

[full basin]

The python server will be more helpful

[fervent cradle]

that file isn't to do with that error

[fervent cradle]

send ur code

[spice oyster]

I see. It usually takes less and maybe it took more that time and gave an error. What's the best way to handle that?

[full basin]

Defer it

[waxen skiff]

    async def interaction_check(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):
        return interaction.user.id == self.author.id```

why doesnt this work

only make the button work for the author of the original message

and i pass the self.author into the button

[full basin]

.tag idw

[winter condor]

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

[waxen skiff]

i just did 💀

[limber urchin]

You did not explain what you expect to work or provide any errors

We have no idea what you're trying to do

[spice oyster]

Ok, thanks. I'm surprised it never happened before in that part of the code.

[waxen skiff]

i got it

[waxen skiff]

i did.

What are you trying to do?

only make the button work for the author of the original message

and no errors

[waxen skiff]

how do i make my slash commands updated options show up? this is my code and i just added the member option and min and max to amount and both of those dont show up

@discord.option("member", discord.Member, description="The member to get the profile of, leave blank for yourself", required=False, default = None)
# command

@discord.option("amount", min_value=1, max_value=100, description="The amount of seeds you want to buy", required=False, default=1)
# command```

no errors

[young bone]

Im not sure how stable the discord API is at the moment

[young bone]

can you the async def name() stuff?

[waxen skiff]

async def profile(self, ctx, member: discord.Member = None):

async def buy(self, ctx, seed, amount:int=1):

[loud holly]

did u check the examples in github?

[waxen skiff]

yes

[loud holly]

honestly if it was me, I'd do it like this

@bot.slash_command(...)
async def profile(self, ctx: discord.ApplicationContext, member: discord.Option(...)): 
  ...

[young bone]

both ways are fine

[waxen skiff]

\then it should work..

hmm

[loud holly]

discord.Option pretty sure

[waxen skiff]

huh

[young bone]

no

[loud holly]

wait no, you're using @discord.option

[young bone]

discord.option()

[waxen skiff]

yeah..

so...

[young bone]

you can use both

[waxen skiff]

then why isnt it working

[young bone]

give it some time

discord is weird with slash commands

ok discord.option and discord.Option is not the same. I get an error if I use discord.Option

[loud holly]

If there's a server where I can't get any information from, but from bot.guilds it is showing that there's a server that the bot is in, but I can't get any info from, does it mean that it is inactive?

[young bone]

does the bot has permissions?

[loud holly]

yes, what I'm doing is getting the member_count so I tried to get print out the guild incase there's something wrong

and printed out memer_count along with guild.name

and when I use len(bot.guilds), I'm getting 14 however 13 guilds are being printed

[rare ice]

member_count may not be 100% accurate

[loud holly]

oh

Ty

[waxen skiff]

@discord.option("member", discord.Member, description="The member to get the profile of, leave blank for yourself", required=False, default = None)
    async def profile(self, ctx, member: discord.Member = None):```

why isnt the option working

it doesnt show up

[waxen skiff]

still doesnt

[silver moat]

try re-naming the slash command and un-re-naming it

[waxen skiff]

will do

cool! it worked!!

[silver moat]

[hushed cargo]

is this supposed to work?
msg = await interaction.original_response() await msg.delete()

[proud mason]

Looks correct. Except for the part that get_water is an async function 💀

[hushed cargo]

if this not right how do i do diss

[proud mason]

You have interaction.delete_original_response

That should work too

[hushed cargo]

;-; damn- i didnt know it was so simple dfjknjnevajlve

it not workk

[proud mason]

That's why you should always read the docs

[proud mason]

I'm usually not a guy to judge but windows vm in a Mac?? Mac is already pretty good, if not better for development

[hushed cargo]

hfdshjvajsjhf

NOT A VM

[proud mason]

^

[proud mason]

Oh then 👀

[hushed cargo]

ohhhhh sorry im dum i thought you meant error code-

ill explain command, i have sum so i dont have seperate commands for /slap, /hug etc so i have this select menu thingy it sends as an ephemeral and when you select thingy it sends it in the current channel and i wants it to delete the select message, andddd im using chrome remote desktop to control my windows server pc-

[proud mason]

Ah so you want to select menu itself rather than the message it sends?

[proud mason]

You will have to call this from the Slash cmd

[hushed cargo]

the select menu is just to decide wut you wanna do (this has all the /slap, /punch, /hug etc) and ofc i want the menu to be only viewable by the sender, but it isnt rly needed after it sends the message

[proud mason]

Add self.stop() to the end of the view callback

add await view.wait() to the Slash cmd
And then do await ctx.interaction.delete_original_response()

[hushed cargo]

ohhhh ajnvejniaevjinjeajniv TYYY that makes so much senseeee

[proud mason]

Also just so you know, you can access the bot instance through interaction.client in the callback
No need to pass the bot instance to the view

[hushed cargo]

omgg to XD

tyyyyyy*

[proud mason]

Np

[hushed cargo]

Now is doing
await self.stop()
TypeError: object NoneTypw can’t be used in “await” expression

[proud mason]

Full error?

[proud mason]

You don't await it

[hushed cargo]

Taking screenshot on Mac is pain-

[proud mason]

Oh lmao

[hushed cargo]

Fr dommy mommies >>>

Also wut do I use instead of “await view.wait()

“

[proud mason]

What wrong with that?

[hushed cargo]

Wellll

First off “view” doesn’t exist-

[proud mason]

You would need to create the view instance before the ctx.respond
Not inside it

[hushed cargo]

Then if I replace with View

The view is a different class doe-

[proud mason]

Wait I'll show an example

[hushed cargo]

Oki Tyty

[proud mason]

You are doing this

async def cmd(...):
    ...
    await ctx.respond(..., view=MyView())
    # await view.wait() can't 😭

Do

async def cmd(...):
    ...
    view = MyView (...)
    await ctx.respond(..., view=view)
    await view.wait()

[hushed cargo]

Couldn’t do “await MyView(…).wait()?

[silver moat]

no, you are creating another MyView instance

different from the original one you sent

[proud mason]

that would create a new instance
Which means new buttons and new callbacks

We don't want that. We want to work with the existing one we sent

[silver moat]

you got this right?

[proud mason]

Yeah

[silver moat]

k I'll go to bed then

[hushed cargo]

XD

Night night

[proud mason]

Alr gn

[hushed cargo]

OMG IT WORKS

TYYY

[proud mason]

Yay 👍

[hushed cargo]

I has other question that isn’t exactly pycord but i imagine you’d know wayyyy more than me

So I use MySQL database, and if I just connect to it when main is run at first it doesn’t work after like a day

[proud mason]

👀

Hmm i don't use MySQL tbh

[hushed cargo]

My fix is to connect every time a command is run this feels rly inefficient

[proud mason]

What connector do you use?

[proud mason]

Yea that not very good

[hushed cargo]

Yea-

[proud mason]

Do you use connection pools?

[waxen whale]

who've summoned me

[hushed cargo]

Idek wut that is 😭

[waxen whale]

lol

[hushed cargo]

Thats my bots nameeee

[proud mason]

Hmm

[proud mason]

^

[proud mason]

[hushed cargo]

I just use MySQL,connector-

Imma be honest I had no idea how databases worked like a week ago-

Also imma prolly goto bed soon-

Bc gotta be able to get up early ish, bc has appointment!!! And hopefully E dose goes upppp:D

[tribal bough]

how to add reaction to a respond message?

not workingpy msg = await ctx.respond(embed=embed) await msg.message.add_reaction("👍") await msg.message.add_reaction("👎")
error: txt Application Command raised an exception: AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'add_reaction'

[proud mason]

ctx.respond returns an Interaction, not a Message

Use ctx.interaction.original_response to get the Message

[green hinge]

Okay made it as a normal function.
But now I get the error message:

    options = get_water()
  File "c:\Users\User\Documents\Coding\OnlyFrames\cogs\spot.py", line 27, in get_water
    return [water[1] for water in waters]
TypeError: 'coroutine' object is not iterable
C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\lib\site-packages\discord\ui\view.py:416: RuntimeWarning: coroutine 'get_waters' was never awaited
  return await self.on_error(e, item, interaction)
RuntimeWarning: Enable tracemalloc to get the object allocation traceback```

[green hinge]

Is it perhaps most sensible to read the values from the DB once when starting the bot and to pack them into a list in order to then always be able to access this list instead of reloading the data from the database each time?
The values I use there are static values that are always the same?

[proud mason]

Yeah that makes sense

You can use botvars to access the list

.botvar

[winter condor]

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

[green hinge]

Did I understand that correctly?

bot.waters = []

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
    bot.waters = await dab.get_waters()
    print(f"{bot.user} ist online")```
```py
class Dropdown(discord.ui.Select):
    def __init__(self, bot: discord.Bot):
        self.bot = bot
        options = bot.waters
        super().__init__(
            placeholder="Wähle das Gewässer aus",
            min_values=1,
            max_values=1,
            options=options,
        )
        
    async def callback(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):
      await interaction.response.send_message(f"Deine Auswahl ist: {self.values[0]}")```

[hushed cargo]

how do i get get the server id here?

[green hinge]

How can I display my dropdown menu or update the view?

class SpotSettings(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self, bot: discord.Bot):
        self.bot = bot
        super().__init__(timeout=None)

    @discord.ui.button(label='🎣 Start', custom_id="StartButton", style=discord.ButtonStyle.primary)
    async def start_button(self, button: discord.ui.Button, interaction: discord.Interaction):
        await interaction.response.send_message(f"Bitte wähle das Gewässer aus")
        self.add_item(Dropdown(self.bot))```

[fervent cradle]

Hey guys I know the basic autocomplete stuff, but how do I suggest a diff list of items once some text has already been put into the bot, eg in the box i put in a and it shows a whole diff list with stuff starting from a for example

[grizzled sentinel]

You have to use python for that. [x for x in words if x.startswith(input)]

I think there is an example of this somewhere in the autocomplete example. I would give more info but my internet is being slow and not loading anything.

[fervent cradle]

wait i got what i was tryna do,

current_val = ctx.interaction.data['options'][0]['value']

assuming [0] is the option number

and i can give stuff based on that

[proud mason]

where?

[hushed cargo]

Where the commented stuff is out

[proud mason]

dont use global variables ngl

[hushed cargo]

I’m not-

So I’m asking how-

Bc it’s not in a function so can’t pass it in and use self

[proud mason]

how do you plan on running it if it is not a function

its not even inside the __init__ if thats what you were planning

[hushed cargo]

This it’s not-

The options are set there so they can be accessed by @discord.ui.select

Butt imma have some nsfw options that I only want to be added if nsfw stuff is enabled in the server

So it needs the server id to check if it is

And if it’s in a function @discord.ui.select won’t be able to get it

[proud mason]

subclass the select menu

[hushed cargo]

Idk how to do dat-

[proud mason]

thats the best way to go if you dont want static options

[proud mason]

slash cmds broke for me, but go into the dropdown example at github

wait ill do it

[hushed cargo]

[west venture]

what?/

[young bone]

?tag requests

[obtuse junco]

Why you should not use the requests library for your bot
requests is a popular HTTP library for Python. It is however not a good option for Discord bots, since it is not async and blocking.

This essentially means that your bot will not be able to execute any code at all while a request is happening. Since requests usually take a few seconds to complete, this can have a detrimental effect on your bot's performance. E.g if a user executes a command that performs a request taking 5 seconds to complete, no one else will be able to use your bot for those 5 seconds.

Please look at using a HTTP library that has async support, such as aiohttp or httpx

[proud mason]

.aiohttp

[young bone]

can you show the gif link?

[young bone]

?tag aiohttp

[obtuse junco]

Use aiohttp.
requests and urllib are blocking. Do not use these libraries within your asynchronous code as they're not asynchronous.
(http://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/faq.html#what-does-blocking-mean)

discord.py uses aiohttp, so it should already be installed. An example of code using aiohttp and discord.py:

async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as cs:
    async with cs.get('https://httpbin.org/json%27') as r:
        res = await r.json()  # returns dict
        await ctx.send(res['slideshow']['author']) 

For more help, see aiohttp's documentation: <http://aiohttp.readthedocs.io/en/stable/>

[young bone]

;3

[proud mason]

yeah that

❤️

[young bone]

thats why it is not working...

[west venture]

what link i have to use?

[young bone]

you have the website and not the gif

[west venture]

ohh shit

[green hinge]

How can I display my dropdown menu or update the view?

class SpotSettings(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self, bot: discord.Bot):
        self.bot = bot
        super().__init__(timeout=None)

    @discord.ui.button(label='🎣 Start', custom_id="StartButton", style=discord.ButtonStyle.primary)
    async def start_button(self, button: discord.ui.Button, interaction: discord.Interaction):
        await interaction.response.send_message(f"Bitte wähle das Gewässer aus")
        self.add_item(Dropdown(self.bot))```

[proud mason]

you can print data['results'][0] and see what all you got

[young bone]

edit_message(view=self)

[young bone]

https://media.tenor.com/gVKTYlZm568AAAAC/omg-schock.gif
@west venture you need something like this

[proud mason]

thats the ['url']. there can be other stuff too

[west venture]

ohhhh damn wait amin

[green hinge]

class SpotSettings(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self, bot: discord.Bot):
        self.bot = bot
        super().__init__(timeout=None)

    @discord.ui.button(label='🎣 Start', custom_id="StartButton", style=discord.ButtonStyle.primary)
    async def start_button(self, button: discord.ui.Button, interaction: discord.Interaction):
        await interaction.response.send_message(f"Bitte wähle das Gewässer aus")
        self.add_item(Dropdown(self.bot))
        await interaction.response.edit_message(view=self)```
Then I get this error message:

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

[hushed cargo]

am getting error

[full basin]

Can't help without code

[proud mason]

can you avoid avoid the send_message?
if not, use self.message.edit(view=self)

[green hinge]

Oh thank you!
You are really top! 🙂

The maximum number of 25 you can not change right?
How can I handle it best if I have more than 25 entries in a list? 🙂

[hushed cargo]

i was at an appointment

[full basin]

You're overriding the init

You must add super().__init__()

[hushed cargo]

yea i have this here sorry fogot to show it as its kinda in the middle of everything, its in the select

[full basin]

You didn't super init the view

[hushed cargo]

yea i just added thatt testing it rn tyyy<3 /p

oki so looks like it works but doesnt seem like the callback is working-

like it runs fine but when i select something it doesnt respond but no error

[full basin]

Name your callback "callback"

Not select_callback

[hushed cargo]

yee i changed that and same thing

waitt i tink the problem is that it doesnt use select, how do i get the selected value?

[full basin]

self?... self is the select

[hushed cargo]

omg- im dum-

im sorry- im running on very little sleep-

i needs a monster and ill be oki-

[hushed cargo]

Im unable to get screenshots- but I’m this how would I use view.wait() with the self.stop()

Bc a select doesn’t have a self.stop()

[proud mason]

You will have to send 2 message if you have more than 25 items

25 what? 25 options in a select menu? 25 buttons in a view? 25 options in a Slash cmd option choice?

All have different answers

[young bone]

No, its a discord limit, not a py-cord limit

[proud mason]

self.view.stop

[hushed cargo]

Perfect tysm!!!!

[hushed cargo]

Could use a select menu to split the list into categories to just show a few at a time, I did this for my help command

[wary rover]

Hello, I've been coding for a while with py-cord and I've never had this problem. Would you have an idea?
My code works perfectly.

17:28:08 [ERROR] Loading cogs error --> Extension 'addons.configuration.cogConfiguration' raised an error: ClientException: Too many arguments passed to the options kwarg.

[proud mason]

huh

thats new

are you using some 3rd party extension?

[wary rover]

what does it means?

[young bone]

show the pip list

[wary rover]

It was a problem with groupConfiguration = bot.create_group("configuration") obviously doing that in a class doesn't give a proper result, although it works.

[proud mason]

hmm

[queen kayak]

Hi, is there a way to get more than the most recent 100 entries in the audit log? I'm trying to get logs from weeks ago and nothing is being returned

        async for entry in ctx.guild.audit_logs(oldest_first=True, action=discord.AuditLogAction.member_update,
                                                before=datetime(2023, 1, 8)):

[proud mason]

pycord version?

@round rivet hey does view.message rely on bot cache? shouldnt the message exist as long as the view itself has a reference count and is not garbage collected?

hmmm

how do you define the bot?

[proven widget]

what do you mean?

[young bone]

do you know the basic´s of python?

[spare juniper]

@ancient summit

self.message is None

make sure that self.message exists first

what is self? are you sure self has a message attribute?

do you have any code for what self is?

please copy and paste code as a code block

do this:

```python
PASTE CODE HERE
```

add ,ctx after self

i believe

even could work if i could pass in ctx.author.id into my max_value() function

[spare juniper]

what?

what does "even could work" mean?

sorry i havent had much sleep i might need to re-read this several times

[waxen skiff]

sorry, its prolly confusing

even could work meaning like

[spare juniper]

no wait i understand teh first line

[obtuse vale]

is it normal that tasks.loop is stopping while a slash command is being used?

[waxen skiff]

maybe this?

    @commands.slash_command(guild_ids=[1067194420543377459])
    @discord.option("crop", description="Crop that you want to plant", choices=[crop['name'].title() for crop in crops.crops])

        user = await utils.get_user(self.bot, ctx.author.id)```

[spare juniper]

i dont think you can do that

heres my idea

[spare juniper]

when you start the bot, the bot tells discord all the slash command information including the max value for the slash command option

it doesnt run the code, so it doesn't know what user is, and discord prob wont run the code because its not running that command that command for each user

basically the options are constants declared at "build time" you could say and so cannot be changed

[waxen skiff]

i figured

so how can i do this

[obtuse vale]

u can change them with autocomplete

[spare juniper]

have no max ig and just check if its over the max and alert the user

[waxen skiff]

run time/compile time btw

[spare juniper]

oh yeah compile time

not sure about run time

idk

[waxen skiff]

its called run time lol

coming from a rust dev

[spare juniper]

like dank memer when you when you withdraw money from the bank it doesnt give a limit to how much you can withdraw at the slash command menu

It only tells you whether or not you can withdraw after you run the command

[gleaming falcon]

Slash commands can prompt for attachments in the command fields. Can any Component allow for this, e.g. a button that prompts or some other message interaction? Or the slash command itself is the only way to provide one in any workflow?

[full basin]

Only options

[gleaming falcon]

Thanks! Hopefully this will be enabled elsewhere at some point. I'm trying to revamp some application commands from the jumble of inputs into a View with controls for a slightly more visual experience.

[merry briar]

How is this done? can I link to the right place in the documentation?

[errant crane]

Here's the context menus example.

[knotty surge]

Anyway to make a buttons attached to a message?

[young bone]

(text, button)

[knotty surge]

Thanks mate, anymore contact then that?

[spare juniper]

create a View object, then add Button components

when sending the message do view=ViewObject

you can always google for more info

[knotty surge]

Thank you

[alpine kernel]

how can i get the id for an emoji like ⚱️ for use in a discord.ui.button there's no id to it, nor can i copy paste it into an editor, doing emoji=';urn;' (semis as regular) gives me invalid emoji, tried without colons too

[silver moat]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api/models.html#discord.PartialEmoji.from_str

and \:urn:

[alpine kernel]

thank you!

[silver moat]

so basically \⚱️

you would get the raw unicode emoji by sending it in Discord preceding it with a backslash (escape character)

[gleaming falcon]

Structural question - if I add a View inside my cog (I generally make them separate), this would properly reload them when using reload_extension()? I feel like my external classes aren't properly being updated when I reload my cogs.

[alpine kernel]

last small question, can other users interact with a button that i've invoked the command on?

[silver moat]

anyone can click any visibile active button

[alpine kernel]

cool i'll add a check then 🙂

[silver moat]

gl

[gleaming falcon]

Also, I forget... am I able to add component classes inside my View, or best if it's not? I sorta remember having some access issues, but maybe I was doing something wrong --

class MyView(discord.ui.View):
  class MyModal(discord.ui.Modal)
    ...

  @discord.ui.button(label='Modal')
  async def invoke(self, button, interaction):
    await interaction.response.send_modal(MyModal())

[silver moat]

yes, but unorganized

[gleaming falcon]

Hm. I thought that would be more organized than having classes sitting out in space. Of course, I'm mostly concerned with being able to reset the cog and have all changes refreshed.

Which goes back to my previous question about having Views and other UI classes within my Cog (even if they're not nested within each other)

[alpine kernel]

sorry to ask a question over you again >.<
is there any way to do a callback from the view originator? my command creates a response with a view, but on button press I'd like a callback to the command in a cog for additional actions to be done

nm think i found it 🙂

[prisma flicker]

can you have two commands on the same cooldown?

[tribal bough]

code:

    async def callback(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):
        self.button.disabled=True
        msg = self.message
        embed = msg.embeds[0].to_dict()
        embed["fields"][0]["value"] = "{}".format(self.children[0].value)
        newEmbed = discord.Embed.from_dict(embed)
        await msg.edit(embed=newEmbed,view=self)
        await interaction.response("You answered this questions",empheral=True)

error:

[severe brook]

code

async def self(interaction: discord.Interaction):
    message = await interaction.response.send_message(f"Ping!")
    

question: how would i edit the message the bot just sent, I have tried a couple ways but I get a no attribute error

[alpine kernel]

i'd think so, you just create a cooldown somewhere, then reference that on two specific commands

[gleaming falcon]

Why are you creating a whole new embed? Curious if it's not deep copying enough
You have the Embed instance, so just update it in place

embed.fields[0].value = ...
await msg.edit(embed=embed, view=self)

[tribal bough]

😮 learned something new today thanks

[alpine kernel]

this looks like something you can use/adapt
https://github.com/Pycord-Development/pycord/blob/0679edd96bad4695e2bdcef5651633781024b920/examples/cooldown.py#L41

[proud mason]

Yeah that's a good way to do it

[alpine kernel]

anyone mind if i ask a quick database selection question? or will i get bashed over the head

[proud mason]

Sure go ahead

[alpine kernel]

Right now I'm storing data in json files so my instinct is to go with mongodb, but seeing mongodb taking up 1.6gigs on disk (windows) is kinda crazy for my small needs (maybe i installed extra crazy stuff?), and was wondering if you guys have any suggestions.
I wouldnt mind sql lite but I hear it doesnt support multiple simultaneous transactions well, and i dont expect that but i'd like it to handle that situation gracefully

[proud mason]

Interaction.edit_original_response

[proud mason]

You can enable WAL mode in sqlite and that enables simultaneous transactions

[severe brook]

Thanks!

[alpine kernel]

ok, so would you just advise going with sql lite for it's minimalness?

[proud mason]

Yeah sqlite is good if you have a small database

[alpine kernel]

okey ty

[proud mason]

If you have a larger database, i suggest going with PostgreSQL

It's powerful

[alpine kernel]

yeah I dont expect my project to go further then one discord server or two

[proud mason]

Ah so sqlite should be good

[alpine kernel]

but if a project i ever do explodes I'll worry about that when the time comes heh

[proud mason]

Use asqlite or aiosqlite to connect to it. The built in sqlite3 library is blocking

[alpine kernel]

ty

[proud mason]

Np

[gleaming falcon]

Can a View access cog class it was invoked from? Or perhaps interaction callbacks? I thought there was a link somewhere... or do I have to pass it in?

[prisma flicker]

Pass in self when you create the view

[sick lake]

How can I send a message on the on_ready function of the bot?

[prisma flicker]

Get the guild from bot.guilds and then the channel and then send the message

[green hinge]

Can I create an input field on Discord other than via modals?
So what I have in mind is a field like autocomplete so that a user can enter something there? 🙂

[uneven beacon]

im new to pycord so i have no idea what my problem is...
can someone help?

[full basin]

1. Is this a cog?
2. You don't get guild you get ctx or context aka discord.ApplicationContext. Use proper names.

[uneven beacon]

yes it is
oh ok..thanks

[fervent cradle]

pls help

[full basin]

Because create_task expects an asynchronous function

And stop using the requests library for everyone's sake

[uneven beacon]

what am i doing wrong?

[full basin]

The context itself doesn't have that method

.rtfm create_text_channel

[winter condor]

2 results

discord.CategoryChannel.create_text_channel
discord.Guild.create_text_channel

[full basin]

You need a guild or a CategoryChannel

The context object has a guild attribute

[fervent cradle]

then how do i do it?

[full basin]

First, learn about async functions and how they work. Then learn about async libraries. And then explain what you're trying to do.

[uneven beacon]

im literally copy pasting it but its not working

[fervent cradle]

ok i forgot there is such a thing as threading just and i can use it

[full basin]

You don't copy paste. That's why it doesn't work.

[uneven beacon]

@commands.slash_command(name="tmp")
async def create_voice_channel(self, name:str):
await self.guild.create_voice_channel(name,category=self)

[full basin]

self?

[uneven beacon]

i used ctx too
same issue

[full basin]

Because the name of the variable doesn't break it

"Doesn't work" doesn't explain what's not working.

.idw

[winter condor]

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

[uneven beacon]

well
same error

[uneven beacon]

then what should i do?

[full basin]

Show the error

[full basin]

ctx.guild.create_voice_channel(name)

No idea why you're passing category= and providing the context object

Learn about OOP read the guides

https://guide.pycord.dev

[uneven beacon]

ah

[uneven beacon]

ok
but how can i add the category without the whole thing breaking?

[hushed cargo]

That was kinda rude-

[uneven beacon]

nah its ok
dont worry about it

[hushed cargo]

Oki

Like they right but that wasn’t the nicest way of saying it-

Ouuu they typingggg this gonna be interesting:p

[full basin]

You need to get the category first, you can use ctx.guild.get_channel(IDHere) where IDHere is the category ID. Then pass that to the category kwarg

[full basin]

.

[hushed cargo]

Can confirm

[full basin]

Not everyone will treat you with love and flowers. :)

[hushed cargo]

Oh trust me Ik- sometimes i loveee it when ppl are mean to me

[full basin]

It's not being rude, either way. It's just a message, you don't receive any emotion from it. You see it the way you want.

[hushed cargo]

But like- sometimes being called mean stuff is just 😩

So please continue:D

[uneven beacon]

uhhhh
like this?
(ik im stupid)

[full basin]

No

get_channel will return a CategoryChannel object

Which is what you pass to category=

[uneven beacon]

i see

how should i pass it tho?

[full basin]

The function returns the object

Assign it to a variable...

[uneven beacon]

ohhhh

alright

[hushed cargo]

Category = bla bla bla category id
Await ctx.guild.create thingy (category =Category)

Ez

[gleaming falcon]

Do we have a command for a “learn basic python before trying to make a bot” message?

[swift pumice]

Are you guys the devs of pycord.wavelength too or is that an independant thing?

[grizzled sentinel]

Yes, but I dont think the project is in production.

[young bone]

ok?

[twin fractal]

How do i add a role to the author, i tried await ctx.author.roles_add(role)
But it’s giving me this:

[grizzled sentinel]

It looks like it still works but I does not look like it receives many updates. (It might not need to be updated often though.)

[young bone]

add_roles()

[twin fractal]

I’m using slash_command from from discord.commands import slash_command

[twin fractal]

Thanks

[swift pumice]

Im more making sure that the devs of pycord worked on it. The package thus far works, and is interacting with my lavalink server, and was more curious as to what other examples there were for the library, as the one that is on the github is only a play command

[proud mason]

The original wavelink package is compatible with pycord. It is actively maintained too. So using the pycord.wavelink package doesn't make much sense. It was for when the original wavelink package did not work with pycord

[swift pumice]

I didnt know pycord had a package for it, is that imported as a discord component? And does it interact similarly as that package then? I have a working code for the pycord.wavelink package, how simple is migration?

[proud mason]

The usage is almost the same

It is imported as a separate package

I think it is import wavelink

[fervent cradle]

how do i set custom status?

[umbral island]

What can cause “Unclosed Client Session” error to happen?

[fervent cradle]

1. full error?
2. code?

[umbral island]

No longer needed thank you though. Was assisting a friend, turned out they were using really old methods

[fervent cradle]

how to fix

prints a blank field

slash commands btw

[proud mason]

.intents

[winter condor]

[fervent cradle]

okey thx

[green hinge]

Can I create an input field on Discord other than via modals?
So what I have in mind is a field like autocomplete so that a user can enter something there? 🙂

[full basin]

Command options?

[green hinge]

So my thought right now is this:
After I click on a button a dropdown menu is shown to me, if I select something here another dropdown menu is shown to me. And if I have selected something there I want an input field where the user can write something in. Is this possible?

[full basin]

Prompt a modal?

[green hinge]

That would be a possibility. There I can also check the text if it has a certain format or?

[fervent cradle]

how do i set arguments when using flags? @proud mason

i tried but the flag gives always none

[full basin]

You can only run checks after the user submitted the modal

[fervent cradle]

my code: async def ban(ctx, *args, flags: BanFlags):

[green hinge]

Yes that would do. And if the text does not have the desired format, the model is called again. That should not be a problem right? 🙂

[full basin]

You'd need to send a button which opens a modal again

[green hinge]

Okay 🙂
In a modal I can only do input text or? No dropdown menus or similar right?

[full basin]

No

[green hinge]

Okay 👍🏻
Can I create another dropdown menu when I have made a selection in the first one?

[alpine kernel]

could do something like disabling the first selection and doing an edit message to add another (not exactly sure how that would look), or send_response with another view maybe?

when making views for cleanliness sake, is it common practice put each view into their own .py in a views folder?

[waxen skiff]

i hate how if theres an error in a cog, instead of it telling you theres an error, the cog just doesnt fucking load. wtf

[fervent cradle]

show code instead of stressing out

[waxen skiff]

u want my whole file? lol

theres no error idfk where the problem is

[fervent cradle]

send it in pastebin if its too big otherwise send here in cb

[gleaming falcon]

Is it a linting error? like if you try to execute the cog directly, will it run without error, or do you get some hints there?

[waxen skiff]

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'db'

sys.path.append(os.path.abspath('..'))
import db.utils as utils
``` and its worked every other time i ran the bot. for some reason with pycord, i cant do `import ..db.utils` and it pisses me off too

[gleaming falcon]

Might want to show your directory structure.

Mine is something like

bot.py
-- commands\
   mycog.py
   ...
-- utils\
   display.py

Within mycog.py, I can reference utils.display just fine, even though my entry point is bot

[waxen skiff]

that’s how mins is

mine*

and it doesn’t matter cus it works any other time

[gleaming falcon]

I don't get your sys.path call then.
Presumably if your db modules are in a db directory, your cog should simply be able to directly import db.utils

[waxen skiff]

maybe it can then

that’s not my issue though

[gleaming falcon]

Added your file to PyCharm just to see if there was something obvious, but the only errors I'm getting are from db.utils and crops. Although it is warning me about ctx.respond in your plant command, though that would be a runtime error and wouldn't prevent the cog from loading.

[waxen skiff]

yep, i have no idea

so dumb

it loads fine when i remove this:

@discord.option("amount", min_value=1, max_value=100, description="The amount of seeds you want to buy. Leave blank to buy all you can buy (won't automatically buy more than you can plant)", required=False, default=None, type=int)```

[gleaming falcon]

Option Descriptions have a max of 100 chars. Yours is 122 or something
https://discord.com/developers/docs/interactions/message-components#select-menu-object-select-option-structure

[waxen skiff]

well damn, thank you

idk how to shorten this...

[gleaming falcon]

"Number of seeds to purchase. Leave empty to buy as many as possible for your farm."
82 characters. I'm sure it could be smoothed out even more

[waxen skiff]

thank you

[gleaming falcon]

fwiw, I always run my bot on a test key using Pycharm's debugging tool, it definitely spits out a lot of these errors. (Discord itself can sometimes be cryptic)

[waxen skiff]

how can i make it wherre only i can run a slash command

[errant crane]

Here's the slash perms example.

[waxen skiff]

this might be it, nvm

nope, not it

and i dont want an if, i only want it to show up for me

[full basin]

You can't

Best workaround is registering it in your dev guild

[gleaming falcon]

Unless I'm misunderstanding, you def can, but you have to manually do it in the Integrations of the Guild/Server

Example for a slash command in my own bot

Unintuitively, when you select your bot in Integrations, you have to scroll up to get to the command overrides.

[full basin]

There's also @is_owner decorator but it doesn't hide the command

[full basin]

But you'd have to do it manually for each server

[gleaming falcon]

For sure, but there was no context on how widespread the bot was. Certainly would make more sense if it's a single-server bot (like mine is). Otherwise, having a command server would be a good solution.

(And for the record, I really wish Discord would add that as an API endpoint)

[glacial vale]

when I add a new command to a cog and restart the bot the new command doesnt show up.... what gives?

[young bone]

do you sync the commands?

[glacial vale]

sync?

I have a for loop and run this on startup

bot.load_extension(str(dotted_path))

dotted_path being the path to each of my cogs

[young bone]

it can take sometimes a short of time that discord shows the new commands

and update the commands

[glacial vale]

yea I mean that would be acceptable but it just never shows up

[waxen skiff]

how can i hide a regular command from a help command

[silver moat]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Command.hidden

[waxen skiff]

@bot.slash_command(guild_ids=[1067194420543377459])

@waxen whale Rename this thread to "The Basic Pycord Help (The Quick Questions Only)"

[spare juniper]

bfhu

[waxen skiff]

thats pretty much what it is...

[waxen skiff]

makes no mf sense

[spare juniper]

uhhhh

hold on

what

[spare juniper]

I would make a thread and also post entire code

[limber urchin]

How are you going to add a reaction to a message that doesn't exist?

[waxen skiff]

thats the issue?

how does it not exist

[limber urchin]

How would it exist? When you use a slash command it doesn't create a message

[waxen skiff]

oh duh

smh, thanks

[spare juniper]

shit i really need sleep

[waxen skiff]

same...

[waxen whale]

no

[waxen skiff]

also wondering why after i run one command, i cant search for any more

ill show a screen recording of it

[proud mason]

No idea mate

Wdym by set arguments?

You have to define the flags in the class

[undone falcon]

how often does the on_resumed() event is called ? I wanted to use it when my bot reconnect if my internet fails, but it is calling that fonction very often

(sometime calling it each 10 minutes)

[proud mason]

Well then your internet must be failing every 10 minutes

[undone falcon]

damn my poor internet

I really need to host my bot on a cloud

and why do I get guild as . sometimes ?

for exemple

[proud mason]

You have guild intent?

[undone falcon]

yes !

and it only does it sometimes

most of the time it works as intended

[fervent cradle]

Why not Intents(guild=True)

Why .none() ?

[undone falcon]

wanted to make sure I had no extra intent that I dont need

[fervent cradle]

Lol, if you do Intent() you won't get extra intents

You just need to enable them yourself

By passing those intents and value

[undone falcon]

I see, but it does not change anything tho to the result

[fervent cradle]

Still, it's a good why you are doing useless stuff by doing none where you can directly do (discord.Intents(guilds=True, emojis=True, message_content=True))

[undone falcon]

but do you know what could be ausing this ?

[proud mason]

Alr cool

[proud mason]

Oh

What does it say normally?

The name of the guild?

[undone falcon]

yess

[proud mason]

Oh. So is there a chance that someone keeps naming their guild .

💀

[limber urchin]

The guild name doesn't turn into ".". You already have a "." in your string

[proud mason]

Oh right

I didn't notice that lmao

[limber urchin]

And is there a reason you're using .format instead of just an f-string?

[undone falcon]

old code, when I did not know the existance of f string

[proud mason]

Those guilds might not be in cache ig. Does on guild remove have a raw event?

[limber urchin]

It's also possible the guilds are just unavailable, in which case the guilds won't have a name (or any data)

[copper dew]

just wondering: is there a way to disable and remove a slash command per guild? the bot that im migrating used to support this feature, since it was prefixed

[limber urchin]

Pretty sure the server owner needs to enable/disable the slash commands themselves through integrations

[copper dew]

ahh ok then

i was just curious

[undone falcon]

I see, so their is nothing I can do for it ? I does not cause any problem so no worries

I was just curious

and thank you for the answers !

[proud mason]

Disable and remove? So like remove certain commands from the server? You can do that in a weird way. Register all commands as guild commands rather than global commands. And then you can remove the ones you need.

[copper dew]

ah i see

[proud mason]

Is champymarty your alt 👀

"i was just curious"

"I was just curious"

[undone falcon]

what does that mean

[proud mason]

Alt? Alt means an alternate account of someone. I just thought it could be because you both just said the same message 😂

[undone falcon]

ahah not my alt no !

strange coincidence !

[copper dew]

oh yeah it's a coincidence

[uneven beacon]

is there any way to add multiple answers for a choice in a slash command?
like if you use "user=discord.Member" you can only choose one user
is there a way to choose multiple?

[fervent cradle]

What's the problem in the code? I can't fix it:

@bot.command(description="Bans a member from the guild")
async def ban(ctx, user: discord.Member, reason: discord.Option(str)):
    if reason is None:
        await ctx.respond("You must provide a reason!", ephemeral=True)
    else:
        banned_user = bot.get_user(user.id)
        await banned_user.send(embed=ban_dm)

        await user.ban(reason=reason)
        await ctx.respond(embed=success)

    
    success = discord.Embed(
        title="Success!",
        description=f"{user.name} has been successfully banned for **{reason}**!"
    )
    ban_dm = discord.Embed(
        title="You've been banned!",
        description=f"**Reason:** {reason}"
    )

This is the error: discord.errors.ApplicationCommandInvokeError: Application Command raised an exception: AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'send'

[young bone]

Why do you use bot.get_user?

You already got the User with user:discord.Member

[fervent cradle]

don't i have to use their id?

[young bone]

What?

[uneven beacon]

.

[proud mason]

You cant chose multiple like that. You will either have to send a user select menu. Or accept a string option and parse mentions out of it

[fervent cradle]

nvm it's fixed

[proven widget]

i changed the bot photo and name on portal but when the bot is up its not changed how to fix it?

[uneven beacon]

Oh ok
So is there a way to send the menu as a private one?

[young bone]

Yes

[proud mason]

send it as ephemeral

[uneven beacon]

thanks : D

[uneven beacon]

i have another question
how can i get a channel id by using the name of it?

[twin fractal]

I’m getting this error
My code

@commands.Cog.listener
    async def on_message(msg): 
        for i in range(len(self.data)):
            if (f"<@{self.data[i]}>" in msg.content) and not (msg.author.bot): 
                msg.reply(f"<@{self.data[i]}> is away right now, reason: **{self.data[i+1]}**")
                return None
                break
        if msg.author.id in self.data:
            i = self.data.index(msg.author.id)
            self.data.remove(msg.author.id)
            self.data.remove(self.data[i+1])
            await msg.channel.send(f"{ctx.author.mention} is no longer AFK!")

First one is code
Second one is error

Wow that copy paste really didn’t work out

[young bone]

where is ()?

[young bone]

add () at the listener

[twin fractal]

Oh ok

[fervent cradle]

i have set agruments and flags. and the flags always returning None. My function: async def ban(ctx, *args, flags: BanFlags):

[twin fractal]

now i’m getting this error

[young bone]

self, msg: discord.Message

[twin fractal]

self, f”…” ?

[young bone]

do you know basic python?

[twin fractal]

Uh

Kinda?

[young bone]

What do you mean with "Kinda"?

[twin fractal]

I didn’t have the time to learn cause of school

And i still only have 1 week of weekend

[young bone]

without the basic´s it will be really hard for you to create a bot

that will be the same with any programming language

[twin fractal]

Ik Ik

But i just wanna create a server bot

For my server

Not a public bot, i don’t think it’ll really be that bad

i do know a some

[uneven beacon]

how can i get a channel id by using the name of it?

[young bone]

with the discord.utils.get

[uneven beacon]

i see

but i dont know how

[young bone]

discord.utils.get(abc, name="")

[young bone]

but why the name?

[uneven beacon]

im making a slash command that makes a vc / text channel and i want to get the channels id

[uneven beacon]

im getting an error...

[young bone]

did you just copy and paste it?

you have to replace abc with stuff like member.guild.channels or other stuff

[uneven beacon]

i did

i replaced the abc

ctx.guild.get_channel

( i have no idea what im doing )

[young bone]

replace it with ctx.guild.channels

[uneven beacon]

it worked
thank you : D

[young bone]

you can do id=ID or name=""

[uneven beacon]

btw can i ask some questions in your dm? im new to pycord and i kinda have a lot of questions

[young bone]

if you have questions to the voice stuff, with that I cannot help you

[grizzled sentinel]

Also it is always best to ask questions here. If you have a lot fell free to open a thread.

what's the difference between cog listener and bot event

[proud mason]

Some events have default built in functionality

Like on message event by default processes prefix cmd, on interaction processes app cmds etc

What cog listener allow is runnning another coroutine along with this default one

While bot.event allows you to override the default one

[fervent cradle]

Alright thanks

How can I make it so that after I select something in Water, the next dropdown menu is displayed with Fish?

class Wasser(discord.ui.Select):
    def __init__(self, bot: discord.Bot):
        self.bot = bot
        options = [discord.SelectOption(label=water) for water in bot.waters]
        super().__init__(
            placeholder="Wähle das Gewässer aus",
            min_values=1,
            max_values=1,
            options=options,
        )
        
    async def callback(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):
        view = interaction.response.view
        view.add_item(Fisch(self.bot))
        await interaction.response.update(view=view)

class Fisch(discord.ui.Select):
    def __init__(self, bot: discord.Bot):
        self.bot = bot
        options = [discord.SelectOption(label=water) for water in bot.waters]
        super().__init__(
            placeholder="Wähle deinen Fisch aus",
            min_values=1,
            max_values=1,
            options=options,
        )
        
    async def callback(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):
      await interaction.response.send_message(f"Deine Auswahl ist: {self.values[0]}")```

[proud mason]

Interaction.response.edit_message

[fervent cradle]

Why is it not printing anything?

async def on_ready():
    print('I am online')
Connection = Sql connection line but removed for security reasons yk
Connection.close()
for guilds in bot.guilds:
    print(guilds.id)```

[green hinge]

Where is my mistake?

    await item.callback(interaction)
  File "c:\Users\User\Documents\Coding\OnlyFrames\cogs\spot.py", line 38, in callback
    view = interaction.response.view
AttributeError: 'InteractionResponse' object has no attribute 'view'```

[proud mason]

interaction.response.view ?? what are you doing ||stepbro|| ?

[proud mason]

indentation?

is that in the main file?

[fervent cradle]

It is, What indentation error?

[proud mason]

Connection = Sql connection line but removed for security reasons yk
Connection.close()
for guilds in bot.guilds:
    print(guilds.id)

seems to be indented outside the function

[fervent cradle]

on print? im litearly being blind i can tell lol

oh

im fr stupid

sorry @proud mason haha

[green hinge]

After selecting something in the dropdown menu, I want a second dropdown menu to appear below it so that I can select something there again.
Quasi like a kind of "menu navigation"

[proud mason]

np lol

[proud mason]

you can get the view using self.view where self is the select menu

[proud mason]

use the discord.option decorator or the discord.Option typehint to set cmd options

[green hinge]

Ah okay thanks! 🙂

Can you also make it that the selected option is then displayed in the menu and if I change this not a third dropdown menu comes but the second is updated?

[proud mason]

you could remove the 2nd select menu ig

[green hinge]

What do I have to do in the if query?

if XXXX:
  self.view.remove_item(self):```
?

[rose moon]

when running my code i get error:

cannot import name 'Option' from 'discord' (/home/container/.local/lib/python3.11/site-packages/discord/init.py)

[full basin]

Show your pip list

[rose moon]

googletrans
discord-py-slash-command==3.0.3
py-cord

[proud mason]

sorry i didnt understand

[full basin]

You uninstall any other discord library than py-cord

And re-install py-cord

[rose moon]

im USING A HOSTIN WEBSITE
and im using these packages in requirements.py
means only these packages are installed

[proud mason]

||unless it uses a separate namespace or doesnt use python at all ||

[full basin]

Then remove it from the requirements file?

[proud mason]

what they meant is uninstall discord-py-slash-command
it has conflicting namespaces. and pycord has slash cmds built in

[green hinge]

I don't know how to remove the dropdown menu....

[rose moon]

oh ok

[rose moon]

still getting the error even after removing discord-py-slash-command

[proud mason]

well you just typed it self.view.remove_item(self)

[proud mason]

reinstall py-cord

[rose moon]

im using a discord bot hosting website
its install packgaes on start

[serene spindle]

which one are you using?

[rose moon]

can i send links here?

[young bone]

Is it replit?

[rose moon]

nope

bot-hosting.net

[young bone]

I use my free RaspberryPi

[rose moon]

is it free?

[young bone]

No, but great for bot hosting

[serene spindle]

I use Lightbulb and I have access to the terminal. So I can manage everything with pip myself

[rose moon]

is there any free bot hosting?
