[rose moon]

bcz i cant use online payment

[green hinge]

Should I check if the fish dropdown menu already exists and if so remove it and then create it again?

[proud mason]

😭 how didd you get it? i need answers

[proud mason]

ig

there is railway.app

there are google cloud, aws, azure, oracle free vps. but you need a card for verification

[young bone]

I just bought one x3

[proud mason]

then its not "free RaspberryPi"

[young bone]

Nope xd

[green hinge]

What? 😄

[proud mason]

why would remove and add the same dropdown?

sorry im really confused now

[sick quest]

how can I add a slash command group to a cog/extension?

[errant crane]

Here's the slash cog groups example.

[sick quest]

thanks

[green hinge]

If I select something in the first dropdown then the second dropdown comes up. But if I now change the selection in the first dropdown, then a third dropdown is created underneath instead of updating the second dropdown.

[sick quest]

this is throwing an error, it says that the slash command group is not defined

oh wait never mind

I misread it

[fervent cradle]

only accepts discord.Interaction or commands.Context

pager = Paginator(maps_list)
  await pager.start(ctx)```

@client.slash_command(description="")
async def maps(ctx):
  maps_list = [EMBEDS IN HERE]
  pager = Paginator(maps_list)
  await pager.start(ctx)```

[full basin]

ctx.interaction

[fervent cradle]

Thanks

[green hinge]

How can I solve the problem?

    async def callback(self, interaction: discord.Interaction) -> None:
        spot = self.user.value
        pattern_spot = re.compile(r'^([1-9]\d{0,1}|200):([1-9]\d{0,1}|200)$')
        if not pattern_spot.match(spot):
            embed = discord.Embed(
                title="Fehler",
                description="Spot muss im Format '100:100' eingegeben werden. Der Maximalwert beträgt '200:200'"
            )
            await interaction.response.send_message(embed=embed)
            await interaction.response.send_modal(AddSpot(self.bot, interaction.channel))
        self.view.add_item(AngelArt(self.bot))
        await interaction.response.edit_message(view=self.view)

    await interaction.response.send_modal(AddSpot(self.bot, interaction.channel))
  File "C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\lib\site-packages\discord\interactions.py", line 1049, in send_modal
    raise InteractionResponded(self._parent)
discord.errors.InteractionResponded: This interaction has already been responded to before```

[wraith hull]

How can I restart my bot in VSC?

[green hinge]

Ctrl + C

[wraith hull]

Done that, my bot is still online, do I have to restart discord?

[green hinge]

No sometimes it can take a few seconds. If necessary, close the VSC and restart.

[wraith hull]

This is what I'm getting

[green hinge]

Then your bot is not running

[wraith hull]

I made a slash command but it isn't showing

How can I make it show?

[fallen cove]

If you didn’t specify a guild or guilds then it may take a few mins to sync

[clever thistle]

Is it possible to get information on linked accounts for guild members? I'd like to autoassign a certain role to people with Twitch "VIP" status

[gleaming falcon]

There was something just merged for linked roles. Unsure if you can get other linked accounts though; I don’t fully know how it works

[fallow hawk]

is there any way to have the callback for each button be different? like so that if i click on the second button, it will respond with the number 2, btw im generating these procedurally

[final fractal]

Hey guys, what is the most reliable and inexpensive way to keep my bot online. I'm not too sure how to go upon this. (I am using VSC)

[silver moat]

railway.app

[rose vapor]

am i clueless or where is the list index that is out of range?
i click run and immediately error
asking here cause slash command

[young bone]

what happend if you remove : discord.ApplicationContext

[rose vapor]

same thing

[young bone]

can you show the pip list?

[young bone]

mhm

do you get it only at this one?

[rose vapor]

this is all that's in there, it goes on_ready(), this function, then bot.run()

for fun, before this, i tried the dropdown example (which worked) and then basically removed that function and put this one in

[fallow hawk]

is there any way to have the callback for each button be different? like so that if i click on the second button, it will respond with the number 2, btw im generating these procedurally

[rose vapor]

for knowledge, the error goes away when i include 'description' in slash_command()

here was that full traceback i never shared cause silly me in debug mode

[silver moat]

fun

[mild sigil]

I want to display a message after a button press but it is not working.

    async def fourth_button_callback(self, button, interaction):
        for child in self.children:
            child.disabled = True
        await interaction.response.edit_message(view=self)
        await interaction.response.send_message("You clicked the sloth button!")```

I assume its due to the await causing issues

[royal spindle]

Is there a way to get all active views on the bot?

(discord.ui.View)

[silver moat]

nope, unless you create it yourself

[silver moat]

errors?

[mild sigil]

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\Akira\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python311\Lib\site-packages\discord\ui\view.py", line 414, in _scheduled_task

    raise InteractionResponded(self._parent)
discord.errors.InteractionResponded: This interaction has already been responded to before```

I see that its because it has responded once before that

need to rethink the code on that one

[silver moat]

The issue is that you are responding twice. You can edit the message with interaction.edit_original_response

instead of interaction.response.edit_message

[royal spindle]

I actually want to disable all the active views as a part of a cmd which essentially shuts down the bot.

[silver moat]

gl with that

[mild sigil]

hmm, edited the file but now I'm getting a new error

Traceback (most recent call last):

Does the ```interaction.edit_original_response``` only allow for one argument?

    async def fourth_button_callback(self, button, interaction):
        for child in self.children:
            child.disabled = True
        await interaction.edit_original_response(view=self, content="You clicked the button!")```

[silver moat]

oops, it should've been interaction.message.edit

[mild sigil]

ok, the text is updating but I am getting this now:

Not getting any tracebacks for it so I assume it is maybe fine?

[silver moat]

Where did your await interaction.response.send_message("You clicked the sloth button!") go?

[mild sigil]

Looks like this:

Changes to this

so, it did the thing,

[silver moat]

well, basically, you need to respond to an interaction

if you are sending a message and editing a message, you would edit the message not as a response, and send the message as a response.
if you are just editing a message, then that should be the response.

[mild sigil]

so, my bot code looking like this:

async def button(ctx):
    await ctx.respond("Which did you complete?", view=MyView()) # Send a message with our View class that contains the button```

means it is looking to respond but their is nothing to respond to since I interacted with it already?

[silver moat]

well, buttons presses are also interactions

each time they are pressed, they should also be responded to.

[mild sigil]

ok, thank you for your help, I got it working for now

    async def fourth_button_callback(self, button, interaction):
        for child in self.children:
            child.disabled = True
        await interaction.message.edit(content="You clicked the sloth button!")
        await interaction.response.edit_message(view=self)```

[proud mason]

Edit both, the content and the view in response.edit_message

Saves you api calls and prevents ratelimits

Also faster

[mild sigil]

That definitely worked, thanks. If I wanted to call a function upon button press, would that be placed here or in the /slash command?

[proud mason]

In the button callback

[royal spindle]

I receive this in console
You are on cooldown. Try again in 47.35s
<class 'discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandOnCooldown'>
In help command subclassed on commands.HelpCommand

but it sends No command called "..." found.

how does this work?
I need the error but it gives me cooldown error in the
async def on_help_command_error(self, ctx, error)
but it sends that message using
async def send_error_message(self, error)

I have this help command setup with all the other methods overridden but not shown here.

class MyHelp(commands.HelpCommand):
    def __init__(self):
        attrs = {
            'cooldown': commands.CooldownMapping.from_cooldown(1,                            60, commands.BucketType.member),
            'aliases': ['commands'],
        }
        super().__init__(command_attrs=attrs)

    async def on_help_command_error(self, ctx, error):
        print(error)
        print(type(error))

[young bone]

stay in one channel pls

@royal spindle

[royal spindle]

Ok.

[royal spindle]

Is that ideal? , I think its a bug.

[young bone]

I cannot help with this one, I always create a custome help command

[proud mason]

you can use internal stuff to do it, but not really recommended

the ViewStore has all the active views. which you can access from bot._connection._view_store

https://github.com/Pycord-Development/pycord/blob/master/discord/ui/view.py#L556

[errant crane]

discord/ui/view.py line 556

self._views: dict[tuple[int, int | None, str], tuple[View, Item]] = {}```

[proud mason]

also i have no idea how it works, so you are out on your own

[proud mason]

what is phyner_guild_id ?
also try running the bot from the terminal rather than vscode. ive found that vscode sometimes hides the full traceback

[proud mason]

you can subclass the button and then add them. store the number on a self variable and respond with that in the callback

[fervent cradle]

I saw some bots using Postgresql+redis (aioredis) so what's the reason they use both ?? And should i have to do same to solve "x" problems ?

[royal spindle]

I figured out another way to get all the views with message_id
as View._message is None

How do I fetch the message from the message id?
I don't have the channel or the guild.

[fervent cradle]

So I accidentally perm deleted my bot's folder, and there were some slash commands registered. Is there any way to remove them from the bot?

[royal spindle]

remove the slash cmds?

[fervent cradle]

they were registered in the bot

(i want to delete the commands from the bot)

[royal spindle]

I called the disable_all_items() on the View but I cannot find the message to edit the View with.
I only have the message id.

[proud mason]

Postgres is used as a correct, accurate and persistent database. While redis is used as a cache. Redis is usually faster for getting single entries than postgres. Some bots store the postgres database on the cloud and not locally. So redis turns out to be much faster. Although the redis cache data can get stale pretty quickly so you have to update it every 30 mins or smth

[proud mason]

You can't fetch the message if you don't have channel id. Try if the message is in bot cache

[proud mason]

Create a file with no commands and start the bot

You installed py-cord right

Mhm

You must be having environment issues

Confirm that the python version is correct in vscode

Which python version do you have?

Then try python3.11 -m pip install py-cord

Not really

Oh uh

Try py -3.11 -m pip install py-cord

I don't use python on windows sorry lol

[royal spindle]

actually it's a custom persistent view, so It's not cached.

[fervent cradle]

So what does mean cache ?? I guess it is those things like, members, guilds, channels etc??

And how can I impliment those setup to make improvements in my bot can you please elaborate?

[obtuse vale]

is there a simple way to allow only integers in discord.ui.InputText?

[proud mason]

Cache is sort of a collection of the most important parts (columns) of the database. So stuff that you frequently use are stored there for faster lookup

[proud mason]

Tbh it doesn't make sense to have a cache for the db unless your bot is very large

[proud mason]

Nope. Discord limitation

[fervent cradle]

Can you explain what are those things?

[fervent cradle]

Ohh

[fervent cradle]

How to make a command's option required?

[obtuse vale]

how do i make so only the the author of the slash command can use the select menu?

[limber urchin]

Compare the id of the interaction user to the author in your callback

[proud mason]

dont set required=False and dont set any default value

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

[hollow drum]

Im trying to make a script that sends hello world to a webhook

webhook = discord.Webhook.from_url(webhook_url)

but i get this error : TypeError: Webhook.from_url() missing 1 required keyword-only argument: 'session'
How can i send "hello world" to a webhook?

[stuck bough]

what does it return if multiple user has same username when looking up by username

[proud mason]

I believe you have to pass a aiohttp client session too

[buoyant mesa]

hey i have made cogs system and done it according to category and how can i list the commands according to the name of cog

for eg if a cog name in utility then it displays only the commands created within the file

[tough briar]

does anyone else have problems with slash commands when using those in cogs?

[proud mason]

.rtfm cog.walk

[winter condor]

2 results

discord.Cog.walk_commands
discord.ext.commands.Cog.walk_commands

[proud mason]

do you want this?

[proud mason]

no really. what issues are you facing

[tough briar]

i tried the cogs out but atm i'm trying to use slash commands at a cog file.

If i'm using the slash command inside the start file from where i load my cogs in, there the slash command works.

But as soon as i put the slash command into a cog, it doesn't work anymore

[proud mason]

slash cmds in cogs are written slightly different than that in main file

[errant crane]

Here's the slash cog example.

[proud mason]

check that

[buoyant mesa]

what for slash commands?

[proud mason]

.guidee

.guide

[winter condor]

https://guide.pycord.dev

[proud mason]

and that too

[tough briar]

Doesn't work for me either at the cogs

[proud mason]

i used to think that includes both, but i dont see that mentioned in the docs

[proud mason]

you have that ig

[proud mason]

how are you loading cogs

[tough briar]

via the on_ready event

in a for loop with the files in a specific folder

[proud mason]

dont do that. load cogs just after you have defined the bot

slash cmds internally rely on the on_connect event to register, which is fired before on_ready

[tough briar]

okay

[buoyant mesa]

hey isnt there anything like i get the cog and then get the commands of the cog

[obtuse vale]

How do i get the interaction user?

[proud mason]

interaction.user

[tough briar]

Thanks a lot 😘

[proud mason]

np 🙃

[obtuse vale]

And the author in the callback?

[proud mason]

ctx.author

you will have to subclass view, override the init, accept the author and assign it to a self variable. check if interaction.author == self.author in the callback

and pass ctx.author while creating the view

help 😥

[limber urchin]

1. The error tells you what's wrong
2. You just revealed your db password
3. Never use f-strings for sql queries

[fervent cradle]

for 3, thank you
for 2, thanks (going to change but its no big deal its a test db)

By not available, thats saying it isnt online right

[limber urchin]

It means the connection failed. And you should always use parameterized queries unless you want your bot to be destroyed by sql injections

[fervent cradle]

Alright thanks.

[fervent cradle]

Was just looking what parameterized queries actualy was, so an SQL queriy outside of the python right?

[limber urchin]

Nope

[proud mason]

no?

wth would "an SQL queriy outside of the python" even mean lmao

[limber urchin]

Whatever library you're using has a built-in way to parse parameters into your query. Use that instead of mergeing them to the string yourself

[fervent cradle]

okay thanks

[fervent cradle]

just me being stupid

[obtuse vale]

is psycopg2 supported by asyncio and pycord?

[quick sand]

Is there a preferred way to 'cache' messages?
I'm using fetch_message recursively if a message has a reference, and those API hits stack up quickly. I'm looking for a way to cache these, maybe with LRU or something else

[proud mason]

Nope. Use asyncpg

It's better

[young bone]

With fetch you do every time a API call and you will get a rate limit

[proud mason]

LRU cache looks good. Although you should first check if the msg is in bot cache bot.get_message(id)

[quick sand]

YOOOO, tytytytytyty

[quick sand]

haha, yea exactly!

[fallow hawk]

any way to stop a button from responding? but not give the interaction failed error?

[young bone]

Disable the Button

[fervent cradle]

I think you can use 'None', not sure tbh

[fallow hawk]

alr ty

[fallow hawk]

o ok

[fervent cradle]

Note that it won't disable the button, just won't do anything (saying again im not sure)

[white steeple]

I found this helpful resource https://guide.pycord.dev/extensions/commands/help-command for making pretty help commands. It only mentions prefixed commands though, so I'm wondering if there's a way to turn the help command into a slash command.

[alpine kernel]

mmm another dumb database question, is it best practice to create a new connection per command? or do you establish a connection on initialization and ensure it's still up each command?

researched it a bit and i think i'm going with the former unless someone has better insight heh

[gleaming falcon]

UI question -- if you need to validate a numeric-ish input from a Modal (I know inputs are strings, but assume they will be cast to floats), is there a good way to display that to the user? Just in the message the view is attached to?

[limber urchin]

Depends on what database you're using and how frequently you're accessing the db

[alpine kernel]

sqlite likely at max 20 commands in a minute?

[limber urchin]

For sqlite you can keep a persistent connection

if you're using a server based db it's better to just use a connection pool

[alpine kernel]

ok yeah it's just going to be a local db on a small project

[alpine kernel]

mmm is there a way to pass data in a cog to a check? i cant send self.ok_channels because self isnt defined in the decorator

like trying to have a dynamic list of acceptable command channels
@is_command_channel(channels)

feels like i need to have a global variable to pass, doesnt feel right =T

[silver moat]

you can do something like

class Foo:
  channels = None

  def __init__(self, ...):
    channels = channels_list

  @bar(channels)
  async def spam(self):
    ...

[alpine kernel]

yeah that could do

that would like make channels static for the class right?

[silver moat]

yup

[alpine kernel]

how would a function know that it's a static variable vs creating a function scope variable? if i were to update the data in a function?

or is the convention never to assign it anywhere accept in init?

sorry this is python stuff not pycord stuff heh

[silver moat]

you would use Class.static_attribute to change the value of a static variable

or self.__class__.static_attribute

[alpine kernel]

ok, and you didnt do that in your snippet just as an example right? or is it a special case? sorry, and thanks

[silver moat]

well, I didn't do it in my snippet because I forgot one has to mutate the value of a static variable in a special way.

[alpine kernel]

np thanks a bunch i'll figure the rest out 🙂

[alpine kernel]

still having issues, I think it has to do with the check being set up the time it's defined and at that time the data is None, i'm having no issues accessing the static anywhere in the class but still blows up when the check is run =T

I'll probably take a break, need to go play board games and check back with a fresh head

ok, last minute tooling around, just doesnt work because the check is in a separate file, works fine if the check is in the same file as the cog.
i guess I'd have to import the cog's class and access the static variable like that? seems wonky but wouldnt be the first time

[silver moat]

what if you use made your own check that could access the static variable

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/ext/commands/commands.html#checks

[alpine kernel]

yeah it works in the same file, but I think i'm doing something dumb

like this works

import discord
from discord.ext import commands


#from checks.IsCommandChannel import is_command_channel, NotCommandChannel

class NotCommandChannel(commands.CheckFailure):
    pass

def is_command_channel():
    async def predicate(ctx):
        #if ctx.channel_id in MyCog.CONFIG[str(ctx.guild.id)]['command_channels']:
        if ctx.channel_id in MyCog.CONFIG['command_channels']:
            return True
        raise NotCommandChannel()
    return commands.check(predicate)
        

class MyCog(commands.Cog):
    CONFIG = None
    
    def __init__(self, bot):
        self.bot = bot
        MyCog.CONFIG = {'command_channels': 12345678910}
    
    @commands.slash_command(name = "hello", description = "Say hello to the bot")
    @is_command_channel()
    async def hello(ctx):
        await ctx.respond("Hey!")
    
    
    async def cog_command_error(self, ctx: commands.Context, error: commands.CommandError):
        if isinstance(error, NotCommandChannel):
            await ctx.send_response(content=f"You cant perform that command in this channel, {ctx.command} - {ctx.selected_options}")
        else:
            raise error
  

but i havent been able to put the check in another file and then do

@is_command_channel(CONFIG)

just says config is none when the check is ran

i looked up some stackoverflow stuff suggesting i wrap the decorator but it's already being wrapped and i think pycord is looking for specific stuff from it and it's making my head spin trying to work from that angle heh

[alpine kernel]

looks like I'd have to do something to recompile the check code at runtime which looks pretty technical heh

[undone falcon]

How do you create forms with pycord ?

[errant crane]

Here's the modal dialogs example.

[undone falcon]

ooh thanks !

[undone falcon]

I get this error when sending a view: Forbidden: 403 Forbidden (error code: 50001): Missing Access

Do you know what can be causing it ?

this is code from the exemple on the git

[young bone]

ctx.respond and do you have intents?

[undone falcon]

ooh the .repond fixed it

thanks ! But what intent do you need ?

[young bone]

Im not really sure if you need intents for this

[buoyant mesa]

hey how do i use walk slash command through the discord.bot thing

i meant cog thing

[silver moat]

?

[white steeple]

Repeating this

[proud mason]

I believe you would have to modify
https://github.com/Pycord-Development/pycord/blob/master/discord/ext/commands/help.py#L1004

[errant crane]

discord/ext/commands/help.py line 1004

async def send_pages(self):```

[proud mason]

And also register the cmd as a Slash cmd

[white steeple]

Thanks

[blissful spear]

Is there a way to get an event if the user clicks cancel in a modal?

[proud mason]

nope. discord limitation from what i remember. you will have to rely on timeout

[blissful spear]

:/ really stupid if you have a command with a max_concurrency...
But thanks :D will do it via the timeout

[grizzled sentinel]

Is Thread.total_messages_sent an estimation and cached or a real value that is sent by discord? I having some troubles were it is not incrementing.

[boreal abyss]

await ctx.respond(embed=em, ephemeral=True)
?? doesnt work if anyone can help me would be lovely

[proud mason]

.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.

[boreal abyss]

unexpected key word.. ephemeral.

[proud mason]

Show pip version

[boreal abyss]

pip?]

pip 22.3.1 from C:\Users\

await ctx.send(embed=em, ephemeral=True)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
TypeError: Messageable.send() got an unexpected keyword argument 'ephemeral'

its mabey just a respond?

like ctx.respond instead

nvm its a respond already

[full basin]

Providing different code than the error

Smart

[young bone]

Do you know basic python?

[proud mason]

Sorry i meant pip list 💀

[young bone]

Look at the two errors

[proud mason]

Yea code different from error. He is using ctx.send not ctx.respond

[echo egret]

is there a simple way to schedule a coroutine to a certain time (eg 5min) ?

i've searched but haven't found anything convenient

[proud mason]

Do you mean you want to loop it every 5 mins?

[echo egret]

nope just once

[proud mason]

await asyncio.sleep(5*60) ?

I would create a function that accepts a time to wait in seconds and a coroutine. In the function, i would sleep for the time and then await the coroutine

[echo egret]

oh

i thought it wasn't a good way to do it but ig it's fine

[echo egret]

also i can just run the said function and it will not freeze right ?

(sorry for the dumb questions but i wanna make sure)

[echo egret]

well it does, i will search further by myself, thx for your help

[proud mason]

its not bad at all. Although there are some low level loop calls which offer a similar behaviour, it is always recommended to use higher level asyncio

[uneven beacon]

how can i make a member select menu?

[young bone]

how many members do you wanna add to it?

[uneven beacon]

just one

[silver moat]

add, not select

[uneven beacon]

yeah you`re right

still one tho

[silver moat]

then is that a select menu?

[uneven beacon]

yep

[silver moat]

Are you sure that the choices that someone wants to select from, only contain one person?

[uneven beacon]

uhhh

i want to make a select menu that contains all the members in a server

[young bone]

app_commands?

do you use discord.py

this is the py-cord server not discord.py

you would have to check it at your own

else no

pls go to the discord.py server

but it would be interaction.user

[undone falcon]

I disable all button, but they dont go gray, they stop working tho as I want

How would I make sure they go disable

[silver moat]

you need to edit the message after disabling them

[undone falcon]

oooh I see

thanks !

[uneven beacon]

another stupid question
how can i update the permissions of a voice channel im in?

[undone falcon]

now they all go disable except one

[silver moat]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api/models.html#discord.VoiceChannel.set_permissions

[silver moat]

how did you define that button?

[undone falcon]

in the init of the view

all button one after the others

[silver moat]

hmm ic, so it wasn't a child of the view when the view was constructed.

[undone falcon]

class MyView(discord.ui.View):
    
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__(
            ButtonCallModal(
                DateModal(
                    ... ,
                    title="Start date form", update_co=self.on_update
                ),
                label="Select start date (default = now)", style=discord.ButtonStyle.primary
            ),
            ButtonCallModal(
                TimeModal(
              ...,
                    title="Start time form", update_co=self.on_update
                ),
                label="Select start time (default = 00h00:00s )", style=discord.ButtonStyle.primary
            ),
            ButtonCallModal(
                DeltaModal(
              ...,
                    title="Time interval form", update_co=self.on_update
                ),
                label="Select time interval", style=discord.ButtonStyle.primary
            ),
            discord.ui.Button(label="Approve", style=discord.ButtonStyle.success, disabled=True, row=2)
        )
        self.interaction = None
        self.data = {}
        self.children[3].callback = self.approve_callback

[undone falcon]

here is the code

for init

it was a child of the view when constructed !

[silver moat]

could you print the value of self.children in any one of the callbacks??

[undone falcon]

yess !

[undone falcon]

[<ButtonCallModal style=<ButtonStyle.primary: 1> url=None disabled=False label='Select start date (default = now)' emoji=None row=1>, <ButtonCallModal style=<ButtonStyle.primary: 1> url=None disabled=False label='Select start time (default = 00h00:00s )' emoji=None row=1>, <ButtonCallModal style=<ButtonStyle.primary: 1> url=None disabled=False label='Select time interval' emoji=None row=1>, <Button style=<ButtonStyle.success: 3> url=None disabled=False label='Approve' emoji=None row=2>]

there is the 4 buttons

plus that approve button start as disable, and is enable when all the data is set

but I cant redisable it

[silver moat]

try using ```py
for child in self.children:
child.disabled = True

instead of `self.disable_all_items()`

[undone falcon]

same effect

it is possible you can only disable one time a button ?

[silver moat]

could you print the value of self.children again after this

[silver moat]

maybe

[undone falcon]

[<ButtonCallModal style=<ButtonStyle.primary: 1> url=None disabled=False label='Select start date' emoji=None row=1>, <ButtonCallModal style=<ButtonStyle.primary: 1> url=None disabled=False label='Select start time (default = 00h00:00s )' emoji=None row=1>, <ButtonCallModal style=<ButtonStyle.primary: 1> url=None disabled=False label='Select time interval' emoji=None row=1>, <Button style=<ButtonStyle.success: 3> url=None disabled=False label='Approve' emoji=None row=2>] [<ButtonCallModal style=<ButtonStyle.primary: 1> url=None disabled=True label='Select start date' emoji=None row=1>, <ButtonCallModal style=<ButtonStyle.primary: 1> url=None disabled=True label='Select start time (default = 00h00:00s )' emoji=None row=1>, <ButtonCallModal style=<ButtonStyle.primary: 1> url=None disabled=True label='Select time interval' emoji=None row=1>, <Button style=<ButtonStyle.success: 3> url=None disabled=False label='Approve' emoji=None row=2>]

ooh yeah, he dose not get disable

it is still as false

for last button

[silver moat]

what is self.on_update()?

[undone falcon]

it just update a embed

async def on_update(self):
        self.update_data()
        year = self.data.get("year")
        month = self.data.get("month")
        day = self.data.get("day")
        hours = self.data.get("hours")
        minutes = self.data.get("minutes")
        seconds = self.data.get("seconds")
        days_delta = self.data.get("days_delta")
        hours_delta = self.data.get("hours_delta")
        minutes_delta = self.data.get("minutes_delta")
        seconds_delta = self.data.get("seconds_delta")
        
        current_date = None
        if year is not None and month is not None and day is not None:
            current_date = date(year=year, month=month, day=day)
        current_time = timedelta(seconds=0)
        if hours is not None and minutes is not None and seconds is not None:
            current_time = timedelta(hours=hours, minutes=minutes, seconds=seconds)
        current_interval = None
        if days_delta is not None and hours_delta is not None and minutes_delta is not None and seconds_delta is not None:
            current_interval = timedelta(days=days_delta, hours=hours_delta, minutes=minutes_delta, seconds=seconds_delta)
            
        if current_date is not None and current_time is not None and current_interval is not None:
            self.children[3].disabled = False
        embed = discord.Embed(title="Create a reccurent time role",
                              description=f"Use the button to set information \n Current value: **delete the role __ starting at {current_date} at {current_time} each {current_interval}**")
        embed.set_footer(text="This is a premium feature. Server under 200 member can still use it")
        await self.interaction.edit_original_response(embed=embed, view=self)

oooh, I see the problem, I put disable at false in that method 😄

I am dumb

[undone falcon]

thanks you for your help !

[uneven beacon]

thanks

[uneven beacon]

but i dont know how to select the channel

[silver moat]

what do you know about the channel?

[uneven beacon]

wdym?

i mean like i did this
voice = ctx.author.voice

i know the voice

[proud mason]

https://github.com/Pycord-Development/pycord/blob/master/examples/views/role_select.py
just like this but @discord.ui.user_select

[proud mason]

voice.channel should give you the channel then

[uneven beacon]

no i mean like where should i add it in the line
await set_permissions(name,view_channel=True)

[green hinge]

Can I only reopen the modal via a button or can I have it reopen automatically after 5 seconds?

class AddSpot(discord.ui.Modal):
    def __init__(self, bot, interaction):
        super().__init__(
          title = "Trage deinen Spot ein",

          )
        self.add_item(self.user)

    async def callback(self, interaction: discord.Interaction) -> None:
        spot = self.user.value
        pattern_spot = re.compile(r'^([1-9]\d{0,1}|200):([1-9]\d{0,1}|200)$')
        if not pattern_spot.match(spot):
            embed = discord.Embed(
                title="Fehler",
                description="Spot muss im Format '100:100' eingegeben werden. Der Maximalwert beträgt '200:200'"

        self.view.add_item(AngelArt(self.bot))
        await interaction.response.edit_message(view=self.view)```

[proud mason]

await voice.channel.set_permissions(...)

[proud mason]

can you please elaborate

[uneven beacon]

...

[proud mason]

what did you do...

pretty sure you added () after voice.channel

[uneven beacon]

ah i saw my mistake

[proud mason]

lol

[uneven beacon]

no i deleted a part for some reason

[green hinge]

I open this modal. A text is entered there and it is checked for the format.
If the required format was not entered, a message appears that the format was wrong and then the modal should open again to be able to enter the value again.

[proud mason]

oh haha

[proud mason]

ah. you cant send a modal as a response to another modal (discord limitation)

Although you can send a message with a button that sends a modal

smart to have it recursive like you did

[green hinge]

Exactly that was my first idea but just wanted to ask if it can be done differently 🙂
But thanks! 🙂

[proud mason]

np 👍

[green hinge]

How can I fix the error?

[full basin]

Just self

Self is already your view

[silver moat]

no, self is the modal, not the view

[silver moat]

what are you trying to do?

[proud mason]

modal is not a view. you would need to create a new view

[full basin]

Oh lol. Thought it was ui.View

[green hinge]

After I have checked the content in the modal and the format is correct, a dropdown menu should be called.

[silver moat]

where is self.view being created?

[safe stirrup]

I'm preparing to ditch the commands module in favor of the new integration for slash commands, is there anything I should be aware of?

Other than that prefixes won't work anymore

[silver moat]

we're here if you have any issues

otherwise have fun

[safe stirrup]

Fair, just didn't know if there was a standard boilerplate of "while you're fixing the code, don't do this"

[green hinge]

Here:

class Setup_SpotInsert(commands.Cog):
  def __init__(self, bot):
    self.bot = bot
    self.persistent_views_added = False

  @commands.Cog.listener()
  async def on_ready(self):
    if not self.persistent_views_added:
      self.bot.add_view(InsertSpot(self.bot))
      self.persistent_views_added = True

  @slash_command(description="Spot System einrichten")
  async def setup_spotinsert(self, ctx):
    embed = discord.Embed(title=f'Herzlich Willkommen!',
                          description=f"""Wenn du einen Spot eintragen möchtest drücke bitte auf den "📃 Spot eintragen" Button!\n Anschließend wirst du durch den Prozess geführt.""",
                          color=ORANGE)
    embed.set_thumbnail(url=f"{ctx.guild.icon}")
    await ctx.respond(embed=embed, view=InsertSpot(self.bot))```

[proud mason]

nothing much. somethings that are good to know are that you have to send a response within 3 seconds. if you might take longer (eg you have some api call), you should first defer the interaction, do your stuff, and then send a followup

[safe stirrup]

I'm reading the core api, is @bot.slash_command() necessary? I thought it was just bot.command for the core api

[full basin]

If you're using a discord.Bot instance, bot.command will get registered as a slash command, otherwise it'll be a prefixed command if you're using commands.Bot instance

[safe stirrup]

Straight up, is there even an issue with still using the commands module? I guess I heard it was getting deprecated but I never confirmed this.

[silver moat]

There's no point using the commands module if you're using application commands other than permissions checks

[safe stirrup]

Core doesn't have permissions checks? O: oh.

Suppose I could code my own but that's like, overhead and stuff...eh. Thanks for the help, maybe I'll hold off and just use slash_command.

[proud mason]

i mean you can do bridge commands

which are cool

[safe stirrup]

Oh. I'll have to look into it O:

[proud mason]

oh and dont forget to check out the guide

.guide

[winter condor]

https://guide.pycord.dev

[proud mason]

pretty cool too

[safe stirrup]

I mean, I already have the bot made, just trying to figure out what I want the next version to be. Thanks though, I'll check it out :D

Right now I'm integrating openai, which is fun.

[proud mason]

nice

from what i remember, openai uses requests library, so you might want to wrap its function calls inside asyncio.to_thread

[safe stirrup]

That's...a really good idea, actually. I'm utilizing both GPT-3 and the content filtering endpoints so 🤔

[uneven beacon]

can anyone tell what am i doing wrong?
its supposed to be a temp vc but it doesnt make a vc

[proud mason]

does that event even exist

[uneven beacon]

wdym?

[proud mason]

add_voice_private? what event is that

never heard of it before

[uneven beacon]

no i made it up

[proud mason]

then how will it run-

[safe stirrup]

That's not how cog listeners work :l

[proud mason]

you can specify a name in the decorator tho

[uneven beacon]

i have a main file somewhere else...

[chrome mural]

Can I get an int value instead of a string?

[uneven beacon]

i can only find discord.py tutorials online lmao

[young bone]

?tag file

[obtuse junco]

No tag file found.

[limber urchin]

Sometimes you have to do things without tutorials

[safe stirrup]

Cog listeners "listen" for an event, in the most bastardized way I can put it.

[proud mason]

nope. discord accepts a string. you can convert it to an int tho

.localfile

waa

one sec

[uneven beacon]

how can i do them without knowing how?

[novel jay]

How do i make my bot start "typing" in a channel? I remember using async with ctx.typing(): but is there any better way? my bot does not support slash commands as the client doesn't want slash commands

[limber urchin]

Learn how to program

[safe stirrup]

Not so helpful... >.>

[limber urchin]

It's the truth

[novel jay]

its useful to know how to program before using a lib like pycord

[uneven beacon]

damn
didnt know i had to do that

[safe stirrup]

I didn't say it wasn't. I said it wasn't helpful. :D

[proud mason]

it is the same as async with channel.typing():

[novel jay]

alright thx

[waxen whale]

We have enough resources like the docs, examples and guides. Don’t be lazy.

[safe stirrup]

I'm not the one it was directed at lol. I just said it wasn't helpful.

I have the API reference bookmarked for a reason. :P

[waxen whale]

Ye because you won’t get help otherwise. We don’t teach programming

[waxen whale]

@uneven beacon

[limber urchin]

It doesn't make sense to use a complex library without knowing the basics first. It's like trying to play a really difficult song on the guitar without knowing the basic techniques first.

[safe stirrup]

It does if you're a pull stack developer.

[waxen whale]

If it doesn’t even was in response to you then you aren’t in any position to say so as we literally wrote that fact down in the help rules ;)

[uneven beacon]

bro
i read the on_voice_stats_update part (the thing i wanted to know about) about a couple of times before asking it here

[waxen whale]

did that before

[waxen whale]

Then we have https://pycord.dev/tias for ya

[spare juniper]

ask bill wurtz to voice it for you

[silver moat]

train an ai to sound like bill wurtz to voice it

[real snow]

hey!
im new to pycord
i was just wondering how can i use move_to in an event?

async def on_voice_state_update(member,ctx):
await member.move_to(temp)

it gives me an error
'voice' object has no attribute 'move_to'

[limber urchin]

Read the docs, those are not the parameters for that event

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/voice.html#discord.VoiceProtocol.on_voice_state_update

[real snow]

ah
then what is it?

[limber urchin]

Read the docs

[real snow]

i saw it
thanks for the help

[chrome skiff]

what libary should i use for flask discord oauth2?

[silver moat]

use quart and make your own

[chrome skiff]

why quart

some say flask is better

[silver moat]

quart implements asyncio

[young bone]

flask is also with asyncio

[chrome skiff]

https://github.com/discord/discord-oauth2-example/blob/master/app.py

is this still recommend to use and safe?

[silver moat]

it works

yea i was thinking the error is from a diff part

view=like() how to add dislike

[grizzled sentinel]

You can only add one view to a message. You can have multiple buttons in one view tho.

[harsh canyon]

how do i determine if a member has a certain permission? i coudnt find anything in the docs, copilot suggested ctx.author.has_permission("permission") but that didnt work either

[silver moat]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/models.html#discord.Member.guild_permissions

[harsh canyon]

ty

[proud mason]

You can do fastapi too

[harsh canyon]

bridge.bridge_command()
async def play(self, ctx, *video):
this command works as a prefixed command(*args for spaced arguments) but doesnt as a slash command i think because having infinite args for a slash command doesnt make sense(error: discord.errors.ApplicationCommandInvokeError: Application Command raised an exception: TypeError: Voice.play() got an unexpected keyword argument 'video') is there a easy way around this or is the best option to just not use bridge in this case

[proud mason]

Wdym by infinite args?

Also, what is voice.play?

It doesn't seem to be related to bridge cmds at all

[harsh canyon]

its a bridge.command in a cog called voice

[harsh canyon]

the *video

[proud mason]

Can you show code and full error traceback

[proud mason]

Why would you need * for it tho 🤔

[proud mason]

It's not like that. It's (self, ctx, *, video)
Try that

Also typehint video as str

[harsh canyon]

that fixes it

whats the difference between *video and *,video?

[proud mason]

*video is just a variable name

While pycord interprets the other one as you saw above

[fair ledge]

Hello there!
Is is possible to build a message or a modal, where both buttons and textinputfields are present? In the Modal I can insert Textinputfields, but no buttons and in a message it is vice versa, so that I can not insert Inputtextfields in a view. Somebody knows how to implement this? 😦

[grizzled sentinel]

Discord only alows text input as of now. I think they are working on an update to allow buttons.

[real snow]

how can i fix this? ( its a temp vc event )
1-the delete part is broken
2-i want to make the vc get deleted when it hase 0 members in it

[grizzled sentinel]

Above that there should be more error?

[royal spindle]

there isn't much

Only this Ignoring exception in on_connect

[grizzled sentinel]

I guess look through all of your command functions and make sure all required options are before optional options.

[royal spindle]

I don't get it, what does it mean?
Does it refer to this?

async def command(arg2=None,arg1):

[grizzled sentinel]

To fix the error you need to use the delete function on the channel object. There is no such thing as guild.delete_channel

.rtfm guildchannel.delete

[winter condor]

1 results

discord.abc.GuildChannel.delete

[grizzled sentinel]

Yes, the first is optional and will defualt to none the second is required. All required need to go first. That includes Options, if you specify requied=false it needs to go after the rest.

[real snow]

...

[grizzled sentinel]

You can check if no one is inside with this
https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api/models.html#discord.VoiceChannel.members

[real snow]

ohhhh thanks : D

i read the article
but it doesnt tell a way to use it..

[grizzled sentinel]

That would delete the guild. You want to delete the channel.
chan is a guildChannel object. You need to call delete on it.

[real snow]

oh i had a typo
sorry

[grizzled sentinel]

A "property" is always used like this instance_of_class.property
In your case you want to do chan.members

[real snow]

ah i see
but where should i use it?
im kinda new to pycord...

now what's this 64, Is this the command serial number?

[grizzled sentinel]

That will give you a list of all members in the voice channel. If the length of that list is 0 you know it is empty

[grizzled sentinel]

Im not sure, but somewhere you have 2 commands named the same thing. Do you by chance have a help command (/help)?

[real snow]

i know that
i mean like i should use that line in an if?

[grizzled sentinel]

That would make the most sense so you could compare it to 0.
But a property is basically a variable for a class instance. You can use it in an if statement or pass it to a function and so on.

[grizzled sentinel]

Another 2 things you are using this decorator @bridge.bridge_command?
And you are not running add_bridge_command or similar

[royal spindle]

I'm not running add_bridge_command yes.

and I'm using @bridge.bridge_command

[real snow]

thanks
is there an article about properties and a couple of examples so i can understand it better?

[grizzled sentinel]

For making discord bots you will want to understand object oriented programming (OOP) this might help
https://realpython.com/python3-object-oriented-programming/

This includes properties.

[fair ledge]

ok, thx. 🙂 So is it possible to use text input fields anywhere else than in a modal? My Use case is the following: I need to read in user input within a channel (not via private message), such that no one else in the channel can see this message.

[grizzled sentinel]

Unfortunately no
Buttons/select menus can be used on a message
Text input can be used in a model
Options, autocomplete, "text input" (as in the argument takes a string) can be used in a command.

I think discord is working on adding more features to components but we have not got a major update in a few months relating to components so I'm not sure how long you will have to wait.

Trust me I am waiting for some of these features on my bot as well.

[proud mason]

I have seen someone do a workaround using private threads and wait_for

[real snow]

hey
i made a temp vc event but i cant make it to delete the channels it has made
it doesnt even give any errors

Hey, how can I deafen the bot when it joins a voice channel?

[loud holly]

Say you send view1 ephemerally once you click it, it'll send in view2 ephemerally too, I have noticed that once view1 gets timed out, view2 will stop interacting, is this an intended cause?

.

[full basin]

self.style?..

[limber urchin]

Why are you getting the channel when you already have it in the event?

[open tusk]

That doesn't edit the button

[limber urchin]

yes it does

[real snow]

uhhhh
good point

but i dont think that solves my issue

[full basin]

You need to edit the message and pass the view again. It doesn't magically update

[full basin]

on_voice_state_update doesn't have a ctx

It's member, before, after

[open tusk]

Yeah, and using await interaction.edit_original_response(view=self.view) says unknown webhook

[real snow]

oh
then how should i know when noone is in the voice?

[limber urchin]

Check if the list is empty? Read through the docs before asking questions here please

[real snow]

maybe i did and i couldnt find the thing i was looking for?

i changed ctx with member now it doesnt even move / create the vc

[full basin]

interaction.response.edit_message?

That works the first time you click it, then it goes back to the unknown webhook error

THE PROBLEM THAT I DONT HAVE A CARD

[limber urchin]

Then you need to get a card, or deal with using crappy hosts

[fervent cradle]

Parents?

Freinds?

Freinds parents?

All probably have cards u could use

[rose moon]

MY COUNTRY DOESNT SUPPORT ONLINE PAYMENTS

there are only card that u can only use in algeria and no other countries

[fervent cradle]

okay relax, you could buy a raspberry pi

[rose moon]

whats that?

[limber urchin]

A single chip computer that's out of stock basically everywhere

[fervent cradle]

oh rip

[limber urchin]

I guess your only options are self-hosting or using a shitty free host

or find a way to bypass your restrictions

[rose moon]

gimme an example of a shitty free host

[limber urchin]

🤷‍♂️

[rose moon]

[limber urchin]

replit

[fervent cradle]

I know one but it does have limitations

[rose moon]

oh hell no

[limber urchin]

All free hosts are going to have limitations

they're free for a reason

[fervent cradle]

google discloud, I really don't know how good is it compared to other free ones but it's alright

[rose moon]

there are discloud :0

[fervent cradle]

is you're bot public or for one server

[rose moon]

uh in more than 1000+ server

i was parterned with a discord server for free hosting

and now they canceled the deal

now im broke ;-;

[fervent cradle]

you're bot won't get in many new servers as of yet if it's new

[limber urchin]

your*

[rose moon]

its not new

i was using a host from a parterned servr

now they canceled the deal

[limber urchin]

and you'll probably struggle finding a free host that can handle more than 1k servers

[fervent cradle]

not nessesary but sure

[rose moon]

i guess discloud is good

[limber urchin]

necessary*

[fervent cradle]

idk if discloud going to handle that but sure

[fervent cradle]

[limber urchin]

Never heard of it, sounds pretty sketchy

[rose moon]

nah its good

100 mb ram 🙂

I haven't used it much and idk what specs are good

@limber urchin

you have credit card right?

[limber urchin]

yes

[rose moon]

means you have azure right?

[limber urchin]

no?

[rose moon]

google cloud?

[limber urchin]

no

[rose moon]

dang it

you can have free rdp if you verify an azure account

you cold host bot with it but no credit card :0

Is there a way to ephemerally respond to an on_raw_reaction_add()/RawReactionActionEvent?

Unfortunately not, since ephemeral messages are based on interactions (e.g. slash commands, buttons, etc)

[solar vortex]

Thanks

I just didn't know whether a reaction counted as an interaction.

[meager heron]

How do I add a check to a cog?

[alpine kernel]

create the check and below the @commands.slashcommand() just do your @check()

or is it a check for all commands?

[meager heron]

I know how to add a check to an individual command. I've read that it's possible to do a "cog-wide" check

[meager heron]

Yes

[alpine kernel]

hmm yea, it's clear from the documentation for a bot, but cant do self on the check

[meager heron]

I did find Cog.cog_check, but I'm wondering if there's anything like a Cog.add_check type feature

[alpine kernel]

like dynamic checking?

[meager heron]

Not really. Same as Bot.add_check, only scoped to individual cogs

It might be possible, though, for me to just do self.cog_check = commands.guild_only (or whatever individual check I want)

[alpine kernel]

oh you'd do self.cog_check(guild_only) right?

not too experienced to know if a check IS an commands.Context though but that should be a quick check on a test

[meager heron]

I'll play around with it in a bit

It looks to me like you have to implement it yourself, but I suppose I could be misreading it

[alpine kernel]

oh yeah that makes sense you just implement the function in your cog

it's like capturing check errors, but i guess you can only have one cog_check function

[zinc cloak]

Is there a limit on the total amount of slash commands you can have on a discord bot?

[silver moat]

You can have 100 global commands, and each command can have up to 25 sub-command groups. Each sub-command group can have up to 25 sub-commands.

100 x 25 x 25 = 62.5k

Of course, "slash commands can have a maximum of 4000 characters for combined name, description, and value properties for each command and its subcommands and groups", so you're not likely to hit that 62.5k command limit (because every command would have an average of 6.4 characters).

You can also multiply this number by two if you register the bot's commands in every guild as guild commands.

[zinc cloak]

How do sub commands work?

[errant crane]

Here's the slash groups example.

[zinc cloak]

Thanks! How do I use them in a cog?

[errant crane]

Here's the slash cog groups example.

[zinc cloak]

Awesome!

Thx!

[safe stirrup]

Doth bridge have a commandnotfound handler

[rough rose]

You need to wrap the code into a code block.

[zinc cloak]

What is this

[safe stirrup]

A response message...telling you that you need to wrap your code in a code block.

[zinc cloak]

Ofc, but the bot itself

[safe stirrup]

A support bot...

[zinc cloak]

Does it just straight up run code?

[safe stirrup]

No

[umbral island]

is there an event that will listen for the trigger of any other event? Im looking for a simple way to keep track of how often my bot is "detecting" something with a listener, other than adding a function to each command that writes the count data to a file.

len(bot.guilds)
bot is your client object.

[fervent cradle]

Can I define how long a modal's text input must be?

[umbral island]

the simplest method i can think of would be to change the description of the text field to show the character limit, then check if the response is greater than that limit, if it is then produce an error. Im not sure there is an official method of doing this.

[proud mason]

are you saying you want smth like this 💀

@bot.event
async def on_event(...) #fake example. not a real thing
    ...

ngl i never thought of this lmao

did i interpret your question correctly? or did you mean something else?

[umbral island]

this is exactly what im looking for! how did I not think of this? haha

wait

[proud mason]

yea but that would not work lol

[umbral island]

yeah just realized that XD

[proud mason]

😂

brb ill just check if this is possible

[umbral island]

okii

[proud mason]

you have this
https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/events.html#discord.on_socket_event_type

it's the simplest way to implement

[umbral island]

this looks perfect, ill give it a go

[proud mason]

Although it has almost all the events, so filter out the ones you want

[umbral island]

I want all! haha

[proud mason]

lmao alr

[umbral island]

So im not sure if im implementing this properly? Could you explain the proper way to use this?

[proud mason]

you would need self as the first parameter. also the next parameter would be event_type which is a string. it would only be the name of the event

[umbral island]

ahh that would make sense

[proud mason]

so smth like async def on_socket_event_type(self, event_type: str):

also, dont use a text file. use a database

[umbral island]

I see, that makes a lot more sense

[umbral island]

this was just to get it working, thanks!

[proud mason]

i suggest sqlite. dont use txt or json

[umbral island]

Even more odd.. ive completely removed the on_socket_event_type yet it still continues to trigger this errored event somehow 🤔 there's definitely not multiple sessions running so i dont even know where its pulling this error from now... time to do some digging

I even attempting using an old backup of the file the command was in what the heckkk. on_socket_event_type no longer exists in my bot yet is still producing errors

wow so i used the same code on a separate test bot and do not get the error. But it seems my main bot cannot get rid of this error for some reason. I even changed the token thinking maybe there were multiple sessions running.

I notice an error loading the cog on startup, it seems the cog is never being unloaded when the bot goes offline somehow... I get a cog already loaded error on startup.

[true pewter]

I am making a command that muste a message at the beginning and at the end of the method I modify the first message, but I get an error.

@commands.slash_command
async def prueba(ctx):
    # send menssge "test"
    message = await ctx.send("test")

    # safe id
    message_id = message.id

    # code
    # ...

    # modify by id
    await ctx.message.channel.fetch_message(message_id).edit(content="final test")

hi

i need some help in

[fervent cradle]

@proud mason any alternative method? i need to check it directly from the modal, not after submitting

[grizzled sentinel]

Don't cross post

[grizzled sentinel]

Its possible to specify length in inputtext object.

[green hinge]

How can I make it so that when I change the letter in 'LetterFish', the dropdown menu of 'Fish' is refreshed instead of being resent as a message?

class BuchstabeFischView(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self, bot: discord.Bot):
        self.bot = bot
        super().__init__(BuchstabeFisch(self.bot))

class FischView(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self, bot: discord.Bot, selected_letter: str):
        self.bot = bot
        self.selected_letter = selected_letter
        super().__init__(Fisch(self.bot, self.selected_letter))

class BuchstabeFisch(discord.ui.Select):
    def __init__(self, bot: discord.Bot):
        self.bot = bot
        options = [discord.SelectOption(label=letter) for letter in ["A", "B", "C", "D", "E", "F", "G", "H", "I", "J", "K", "L", "M", "N", "O", "P", "Q", "R", "S", "T", "U", "V", "W", "X", "Y"]]
        super().__init__(
            placeholder="Wähle den Anfangsbuchstaben von deinem Fisch aus",
            min_values=1,
            max_values=1,
            options=options,
        )
        
    async def callback(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):
        selected_letter = self.values[0]
        await interaction.response.send_message(view=FischView(self.bot, selected_letter))

class Fisch(discord.ui.Select):
    def __init__(self, bot: discord.Bot, selected_letter):
        self.bot = bot
        options = [discord.SelectOption(label=fish) for fish in bot.fische if fish.startswith(selected_letter)]
        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_modal(AddSpot(self.bot, interaction.channel))```

[grizzled sentinel]

You can edit the message with the dropdown.

[uneven beacon]

how can i fix this?

[green hinge]

Would it work like that?

        if message:
            await message.edit(view=FischView(self.bot, selected_letter))
        else:
            message = await interaction.response.send_message(view=FischView(self.bot, selected_letter))```

[grizzled sentinel]

That looks like it would work, just dont get message confused with self.message because they would be different

[grizzled sentinel]

No channel in that guild exists with the name you provided.

[green hinge]

I do not understand exactly what you mean 🤔

[grizzled sentinel]

Your code looks like it will work ignore what I said, I just made it confusing.

[green hinge]

Then how do I define message beforehand?

class BuchstabeFisch(discord.ui.Select):
    def __init__(self, bot: discord.Bot):
        self.bot = bot
        options = [discord.SelectOption(label=letter) for letter in ["A", "B", "C", "D", "E", "F", "G", "H", "I", "J", "K", "L", "M", "N", "O", "P", "Q", "R", "S", "T", "U", "V", "W", "X", "Y"]]
        super().__init__(
            placeholder="Wähle den Anfangsbuchstaben von deinem Fisch aus",
            min_values=1,
            max_values=1,
            options=options,
        )
        
    async def callback(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):
        selected_letter = self.values[0]
        if message:
            await message.edit(view=FischView(self.bot, selected_letter))
        else:
            message = await interaction.response.send_message(view=FischView(self.bot, selected_letter))```

[young bone]

you know that the limit are 25 fields?

[grizzled sentinel]

I guess you could do self.attached_message = None in the __init__ The name is changed so you do not override the built in self.message

[grizzled sentinel]

there is no z

[young bone]

oh, nvm

[grizzled sentinel]

Try useing ID instead of name and also try this
https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/utils.html#discord.utils.get_or_fetch

[green hinge]

How can I edit the message correctly?
Do I have to bold the message first to be able to edit it?

        if self.attached_message:
            await self.attached_message.edit(view=FischView(self.bot, selected_letter))```
```  File "c:\Users\User\Documents\Coding\OnlyFrames\cogs\spot.py", line 64, in callback
    await self.attached_message.edit(view=FischView(self.bot, selected_letter))
AttributeError: 'Interaction' object has no attribute 'edit'```

[proud mason]

What is self.attached_message

You use interaction.edit_original_response to edit the msg

[green hinge]

What am I doing wrong?

class BuchstabeFisch(discord.ui.Select):
    def __init__(self, bot: discord.Bot):
        self.bot = bot
        self.attached_message = None
        options = [discord.SelectOption(label=letter) for letter in ["A", "B", "C", "D", "E", "F", "G", "H", "I", "J", "K", "L", "M", "N", "O", "P", "Q", "R", "S", "T", "U", "V", "W", "X", "Y"]]
        super().__init__(
            placeholder="Wähle den Anfangsbuchstaben von deinem Fisch aus",
            min_values=1,
            max_values=1,
            options=options,
        )
        
    async def callback(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):
        selected_letter = self.values[0]
        if self.attached_message:
            await interaction.edit_original_message(view=FischView(self.bot, selected_letter))
        else:
            self.attached_message = await interaction.response.send_message(view=FischView(self.bot, selected_letter))```

[uneven beacon]

i can only save the id as an int
but its giving me this error

[grizzled sun]

How do I keep a variable when using for example button interactions?

Like for example a page counter, or the time since you pressed the button. How do I keep the session going and just wait for a response without discarding where the execution currently is.

asking this as a quick question as I assume I just need the right link to where to read up

[uneven beacon]

same issue with get_or_fetch

[young bone]

do you have intents?

@uneven beacon

[uneven beacon]

yep

intents = discord.Intents.all()

[grizzled sentinel]

I mean use id instead of name when getting the channel.

[grizzled sentinel]

Subclassing the view and using an instance varible.

[grizzled sun]

WoW! I have zero clue what that means, but I'll get to readying, thank you

[grizzled sentinel]

Don't use the example I just showed its not a good one

[errant crane]

Here's the tic tac toe example.

[grizzled sentinel]

This is a good example at line 60ish ^

[uneven beacon]

like this?

[grizzled sentinel]

1st line yes. But the next line put it back how it was. No id. You already have the ID you need to object.

[green hinge]

I have now solved it like this. How can I make it so that I can always delete and recreate the message when I change the selection in the dropdown menu?

class BuchstabeFisch(discord.ui.Select):
    def __init__(self, bot: discord.Bot):
        self.bot = bot
        self.attached_message = None
        options = [discord.SelectOption(label=letter) for letter in ["A", "Ä", "B", "C", "D", "F", "G", "H", "I", "J", "K", "L", "M", "N", "O", "Ö", "P", "Q", "R", "S", "T", "U", "V", "W", "Z"]]
        super().__init__(
            placeholder="Wähle den Anfangsbuchstaben von deinem Fisch aus",
            min_values=1,
            max_values=1,
            options=options,
        )
        
    async def callback(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):
        selected_letter = self.values[0]
        if self.attached_message:
            await self.attached_message.delete_original_response()
            await interaction.response.send_message(view=FischView(self.bot, selected_letter))
        else:
            self.attached_message = await interaction.response.send_message(view=FischView(self.bot, selected_letter))```

[grizzled sentinel]

Make sure channel is an int
But I gtg now

[uneven beacon]

how?...

[proud mason]

idk. use interaction.edit_original_response

the error and code dont seem to match

[proud mason]

show full error

and use member.guild.get_channel(id_goes_here)

[proud mason]

change it to this

        if self.attached_message:
            await self.attached_message.delete_original_response()

        self.attached_message = await interaction.response.send_message(view=FischView(self.bot, selected_letter))

[proud mason]

what is channel ?

[uneven beacon]

channel = f'{member.name}`s room'

[proud mason]

that's the channel name.. not the id

at this point, just show the full code

[uneven beacon]

[proud mason]

ok so

since you have the name and not the id, you would have to use utils.get

my bad for asking you to switch

use utils.get on guild.voice_channels

Why are you "creating" new selects for each item

Don't you want different select options depending on the items passed?

yeah

i want to pass a list of options

a list of strings

You have to subclass the select menu

how do i do that?

[copper knot]

i wish there was a way to get the username of a webhook message

[gleaming falcon]

I may be overthinking it, but is there a way to hide a button without outright removing it (so I don’t have to try inserting it back in)?

I have other UI elements that may change the availability of the button and while I can disable it, it would look better if it’s just hidden

[copper knot]

pop it from self.children?

that would make it easy to insert again

[gleaming falcon]

I’d have to reference it by position in self.children when inserting it back?

[copper knot]

yeah

unless you append it

[gleaming falcon]

No, need a specific position. Thanks for the thought!

[gleaming falcon]

Ick. Continuing on this path, is there any better ways of getting an element other than the children list? Definitely not super elegant.

oh wait, I guess I can at least search it by name since it's directly defined by decorator, as far as collecting the index.

[gleaming falcon]

I'm sure my logic is terribad (help? in my defense, it's super late), but unless I'm doing something super-wrong, this does seem a little overcomplicated. But it does look kinda nice; the button displays when relevant and doesn't otherwise.

class MyView(discord.ui.View):
    ... 
    def toggle_value_button(self, hide=True):
        if hide:
            if self.hidden.get(self.token_value):
                return
            value_button_idx = self.children.index(self.token_value)
            value_button = self.children.pop(value_button_idx)
            self.hidden[value_button] = value_button_idx
        else:
            # Restore it
            idx = self.hidden.get(self.token_value)
            if not idx or self.children[idx] == self.token_value:
                return
            self.token_value.disabled = False
            self.children.insert(idx, self.token_value)
            del self.hidden[self.token_value]
    ...

            print(guild.id)
            print(channel_id)           
            calender.Calender.update_events.start(guild.id, channel_id)

class Calender(commands.Cog):

[young bone]

Where do you start it?

[olive marsh]

ctx and discord interaction don't seem to go together. what can I use instead of ctx?

[young bone]

For what?

[olive marsh]

For example to get a guild icon

[green hinge]

The @bot.Event is in the Main.py and the class Calender is in the calender.py cog

[young bone]

It can happend, that the icon is none

[olive marsh]

I know, but I'm looking for something like ctx

That works fine with interactions

[young bone]

But where do you start the "update_event"

[young bone]

For slash commands?

[olive marsh]

Yes

[errant crane]

Here's the slash basic example.

[olive marsh]

Thanks

[green hinge]

When I restart the bot it should start the loop automatically.

[young bone]

No?

[olive marsh]

module 'discord' has no attribute 'ApplicationContext'

[young bone]

Can you show the pip list?

[green hinge]

Why no?

[young bone]

did you add to the task "await self.bot.wait_unitil_ready()"?

[olive marsh]

Yes

[young bone]

The full pip list pls

[olive marsh]

I switched to slash commands today

I used pip freeze

[young bone]

?tag install

[obtuse junco]

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

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

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

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

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

[olive marsh]

Wait a sec. I got a package

[young bone]

I really should switch to my pc...

[olive marsh]

It seems to work now. Thanks ❤️

[young bone]

[young bone]

remove this from the requirements.txt

[olive marsh]

I will. Thank you

[proud mason]

Pretty sure you can't start the loop from main.py if it is in a cog

Either start the loop in cog init or in an on ready listener in the cog

[olive marsh]

Replit automatically installs discordpy whenever I run the repl

How can I stop this from happening?

[young bone]

?tag replit

[obtuse junco]

[green hinge]

Okay if I do that in the init then the loop is not started automatically when the bot is restarted or do I have that wrong?
For this I am then forced to fall back on a listener in the class or?

[olive marsh]

Thanks. I tested everything and It works perfectly! Thank you ❤️

[grizzled sentinel]

Do you have the presence intent?

[proud mason]

Do you load the cogs when your bot restarts?

[green hinge]

Yes:

if __name__ == "__main__":
    for filename in os.listdir("cogs"):
        if filename.endswith(".py"):
            bot.load_extension(f"cogs.{filename[:-3]}")

    load_dotenv()
    bot.run(os.getenv("BOT_TOKEN"))```

[proud mason]

So yes. The task loop will restart

[green hinge]

If I start it in the init in the cog?

[proud mason]

Yes

[green hinge]

But I need the query if the Guild ID and the Channel ID are in the database because otherwise the loop can't start because the data is missing. What is the best way to do this in the init?

    for guild in bot.guilds:
        data = await dab.get_calender(guild.id)
        if data[0] != None:
            channel_id = data[0]         
            calender.Calender.update_events.start(guild.id, channel_id)```

[proud mason]

Attach the database to a bot var

.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]

Just like that in main.py right?

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
    for guild in bot.guilds:
        data = await dab.get_calender(guild.id)
        if data[0] != None:
            bot.channel_id = data[0]         
            bot.guild_id = guild.id ```

[proud mason]

No. Attach the database to a bot var

smth like bot.dab = dab

And then use the database in the cog init

Oh wait. You can't await in init

So you need a task loop to start a task loop 💀

[green hinge]

Okay, so an on_ready event after all?

[green hinge]

Then just like that?

class Calender(commands.Cog):

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

    @commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_ready(self):
        for guild in self.bot.guilds:
            data = await dab.get_calender(guild.id)
            if data[0] != None:
                channel_id = data[0]         
                self.update_events.start(guild.id, channel_id)```

[proud mason]

Oh yeah that works

[green hinge]

It worked but after restarting the bot I now get this error message:
I do not know why I have not changed anything 😄

  File "/home/Bot/Bot/utils/database.py", line 49, in get_calender
    await cursor.execute("SELECT Calender_ChannelID, Calender_MessageID FROM config WHERE GuildID = %s", (guild_id))

    raise InternalError(
pymysql.err.InternalError: Packet sequence number wrong - got 1 expected 7

If I remove the on_ready event again everything works without error message but the loop does not start again.

[proud mason]

Hmm smth with aiomysql

Try searching on google

[green hinge]

I use the following to connect to the database. Is this where my error lies?
On the internet it says something about single and multithreading 🤔

async def get_db_conn():
    if not hasattr(get_db_conn, "conn"):
        get_db_conn.conn = await aiomysql.connect(host=host,port=port,user=user,password=password,db=db)
    return get_db_conn.conn```

[proud mason]

Oh hmm

[proud mason]

How do you get dab? Try using bot vars instead of global variable or importing dab

[green hinge]

I have a database.py where the connection is inside and with the functions I then access the connection:

async def get_db_conn():
    if not hasattr(get_db_conn, "conn"):
        get_db_conn.conn = await aiomysql.connect(host=host,port=port,user=user,password=password,db=db)
    return get_db_conn.conn

async def get_calender(guild_id):
    db_con = await get_db_conn()
    async with db_con.cursor() as cursor:
        await cursor.execute("SELECT Calender_ChannelID, Calender_MessageID FROM config WHERE GuildID = %s", (guild_id))
        result = await cursor.fetchone()
        await cursor.close()
    return result```

Since I have to read out something from the database every now and then. 

I'm just wondering if I should switch the whole thing to multithreading so that multiple accesses to the database are possible at the same time?

Would this solve my problem?

async def get_db_conn():
    if not hasattr(get_db_conn, "conn"):
        get_db_conn.conn = await aiomysql.connect(host=host,port=port,user=user,password=password,db=db, loop=loop)
    return get_db_conn.conn

async def get_calender(guild_id):
    async with get_db_conn(asyncio.get_event_loop()) as db_conn:    
      async with db_con.cursor() as cursor:
        await cursor.execute("SELECT Calender_ChannelID, Calender_MessageID FROM config WHERE GuildID = %s", (guild_id))
        result = await cursor.fetchone()
        await cursor.close()
    return result```

[grizzled sentinel]

What lib do you use for db?

[green hinge]

import aiomysql```

[grizzled sentinel]

You might need to look at pooling your connections. Search up "connection pool in aiomysql"

How your code is it is a small change to use pools.

[green hinge]

Okay and with pools I can use multiple connections to DB at the same time?

[grizzled sentinel]

Yes it is a "pool" of available connections that you use than return to the pool.

[green hinge]

Okay that works 🙂

async def get_db_conn():
    if not hasattr(get_db_conn, "conn"):
        get_db_conn.conn = await aiomysql.create_pool(host=host,port=port,user=user,password=password,db=db, minsize=1, maxsize=10)
    return get_db_conn.conn

async def get_calender(guild_id):
    pool = await get_db_conn()
    async with pool.acquire() as db_con:
        async with db_con.cursor() as cursor:
            await cursor.execute("SELECT Calender_ChannelID, Calender_MessageID FROM config WHERE GuildID = %s", (guild_id))
            result = await cursor.fetchone()
        return result```

[grizzled sentinel]

And to make it simpler you can have get db conn return a connection instead of the whole pool

[gleaming falcon]

Now that I’m awake when others are, any thoughts to this approach? Can I simplify this (or maybe redo it a different way I’m not considering)?

The context is removing a button when not needed and restoring it otherwise. Now that I’ve slept, I realize maybe I don’t even need to store the button (just the location) since the instance isn’t removed from self?

[green hinge]

How can I do that? 🙂

[green hinge]

So ?

async def get_db_conn():
    if not hasattr(get_db_conn, "conn"):
        get_db_conn.conn = await aiomysql.create_pool(host=host,port=port,user=user,password=password,db=db, minsize=1, maxsize=10)
pool = get_db_conn.conn.acquire()
    return pool 

async def get_calender(guild_id):
    async with get_db_conn() as db_con:
        async with db_con.cursor() as cursor:
            await cursor.execute("SELECT Calender_ChannelID, Calender_MessageID FROM config WHERE GuildID = %s", (guild_id))
            result = await cursor.fetchone()
        return result```

[grizzled sentinel]

You could manually add the item to the view. This seems a lot less complicated that what you have.

.rtfm view.add_item

[winter condor]

1 results

discord.ui.View.add_item

[grizzled sentinel]

That looks right, but if it dosent work switch back to what you had and disregard my suggestion.

[green hinge]

Okay 😄

Thank you!

[green hinge]

Does not work 😄

[gleaming falcon]

Add_item doesn’t have a position. The button needs to go in a specific slot

I was avoiding hardcoding the slot just in case other layout changes happened

[spring drift]

how would i check if a member has permission over another member

so basically just checking if said member is able to ban/kick/timeout the other member

nvm i figured it out

im an idiot lmao

[north gorge]

I'm guessing that in the case of discord generating an embed for a link that you can't listen to on_message and just look for .embeds[0] because the adding of the embed doesn't happen immediately? Can't figure out why else message.embeds[0].description wouldn't seem to work in on_message

[fervent cradle]

Is there any way to disable + edit the button's label after submitting a modal?

[gleaming falcon]

Yes. Just set the properties on the button in your callback.

I am still sorta figuring it out, but I think you have to pass in your View as an argument to your Modal constructor so it can access it.

So something like

self._view.mybutton.disabled = True

[copper magnet]

i need help 🥹 . My bot give me this error: discord.errors.InvalidArgument: Could not resolve appropriate move position
But whyy?
piece of my code: await ctx.channel.move(category=get(ctx.guild.categories, name="closed"))

[proud mason]

Can you try if that works with fetch message. Just checking if link embeds even show up in message.embeds

[north gorge]

I realized what I was looking for wasn't in embeds[0] it seems to work as I'd expect after I changed that

Turns out the problem was between keyboard and chair all along

[proud mason]

• In modal callback:
  Add self.stop at the end

• In button callback :
  Add modal.wait after sending the modal https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/ui_kit.html#discord.ui.Modal.wait

Then disable the button and edit original response with the updated view

[proud mason]

👀

[proud mason]

Do you have the id of the category? If you do, use ctx.guild.get_channel(id) and try if that fixes it

Also, full traceback please

How can i receive inputs along with my slash commands?

Read the error?

[proud mason]

Check out slash options

[errant crane]

Here's the slash options example.

[north gorge]

It turns out it works on subsequent repostings of the same link which tricked me, possibly because the discord server caches the to-be contents of the link embed, so it shows up in embeds[0]. Maybe there's no way to do it cleanly through pycord without fetching each message, which I think is an API call for each, which seems undesirable

[fallen cove]

is there a way to make a task loop to ack like the listener on_message. so the task starts when start command is sent and stops when the stop command is sent?

[proud pagoda]

Well, you could do my_task.start() when the start command is run and my_task.stop() when the stop command is run

However, if the task is still executing some code, it will continue until it is complete, but it won't run again after stop is run if that makes sense

[fallen cove]

I more meant the on_message imitation part

[proud pagoda]

wdym?

[fallen cove]

But thank you
