Basic Pycord Help (Quick Questions Only)

The event on_message() how would I make a task do the same so I can start and stop it easily

[proud pagoda]

on_message isn't a task tho it's just a function that runs every time a message is sent

So you can't rlly even stop on_message

[fallen cove]

I know. My question is. Is there a way to make a task that I can start and stop that does the same as the on_message function

[proud pagoda]

Wait so a separate thing that parses messages temporarily?

[fallen cove]

Yup

[proud pagoda]

Also, is this smthn that's on a per-server basis you want or on a global basis?

[fallen cove]

Atm. It would be per server. But eventually it would be across 30+ servers so global would may be better

[proud pagoda]

Well anyway, I recommend using some var that is True or False based on whether messages should be parsed or not and then having an on_message listener that checks if the var is true, and if it is then it will parse the messages

And if you have multiple servers, use a dict that has each server's ID in it and a true or false to determine whether to parse messages for that server

[fallen cove]

Thank you for your help

[proud pagoda]

You're welcome

[tired goblet]

can my bot see who joined a voice channel?

[gleaming falcon]

Confused by this. I normally send an empty response (it's hacky, but works), but unless I misunderstood something, Discord doesn't like this because you're not sending a response

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

    @discord.ui.button(label='Add Notes', style=discord.ButtonStyle.primary, emoji='📝', row=2)
    async def notes(self, button: discord.ui.Button, interaction: discord.Interaction):
        modal = NoteModal(view=self)
        await interaction.response.send_modal(modal)
        await modal.wait()

class NoteModal(discord.ui.Modal):
    ...

    async def callback(self, interaction: Interaction):
        ...
        await self._view.message.edit(embeds=self._view.message.embeds, view=self._view)

        self.stop()
        # This is what I normally do:
        # with contextlib.suppress(discord.HTTPException):
        #     await interaction.response.send_message()

Did the object change for normal cmds?

[young bone]

that is both not even the same?

[green hinge]

Why is the role not removed from the user?
In role there is the role ID?

await interaction.user.remove_roles(role)```

[chrome skiff]

is there any working ipc for pycord?

[proud mason]

Last time I tried, better-ipc works

[fervent cradle]

How to get the channel where the command was run?

[proud mason]

You are supposed to pass a role object or a discord.Object with id set to role id

[proud mason]

ctx.channel

[fervent cradle]

okay, so not ctx.message.channel?

[proud mason]

Is that in a cog? First parameter should be self

See the guide

.guide

[winter condor]

https://guide.pycord.dev

[proud mason]

It's the same

[undone mulch]

ok

[fervent cradle]

yeah, but im getting a error while trying to put the channel in a var
discord.errors.ApplicationCommandInvokeError: Application Command raised an exception: AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'channel'

c = ctx.message.channel

[proud mason]

If that's a Slash cmd, you won't have anything in ctx.message

So use ctx.channel

[proud mason]

This will work for prefix cmds

[fervent cradle]

oh

it worked, thanks om!

[chrome skiff]

when were last time?

https://github.com/MiroslavRosenov/better-ipc
this one?

[proud mason]

Gosh it was long ago 💀
But it should work. I think you need to install with no dependencies in pip

[proud mason]

Yeah

[green hinge]

I do it like this:

role = discord.utils.get(interaction.guild.roles, id=1068538874378334228)```

[full basin]

[still helm]

What does channel.edit need for a Code if i want to write : and , ?

normal code like this does not work and give me
await channel.edit(name=f"Paypal:{totalamount} € / {total}")

[full basin]

Because channel names don't support that.

Use voice channels.

[still helm]

ahhh thanks !

You didn't do what they told you to do? Lmao?

You're still using utils.get

[copper magnet]

Should I?🥹

[full basin]

Oh, no, totally don't follow instructions you're given.

[proud mason]

btw you can just pass discord.Object(id) instead of passing the category

[copper magnet]

Nope

also, i think you would need to set either of beginning, end, before, after

yeah only 1 of them

try setting end=True

[copper magnet]

okay thx

[proud mason]

this is why you should rtfm. Although ill spare you a bit because docs arent very clear on that

Does pycord have a setup_hook to do like this?

class Bot(commands.Bot):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__(command_prefix=commands.when_mentioned_or(botinformations().prefix), case_insensitive=True, intents=intents)
        self.persistent_views_added = False

        self.ipc = ipc.Server(self, secret_key=secrets['APP_SECRET_KEY'])

    async def on_ready(self):
        if not self.persistent_views_added:
            self.persistent_views_added = True
        
        self.loop.create_task(status_task())
        print(f"▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ \nErfolgreich eingeloggt als {bot.user}\nID: {bot.user.id}")
        print(f"Python: {sys.version[0:3]} pycord: {discord.__version__}")
        print('▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬')

[proud mason]

no pycord doesnt have setup_hook ||yet (hopefully soon)||

you can use asyncio.create_task
or asyncio.run along with bot.start instead of bot.run

[proud mason]

nice. #883236900171816970 btw

[chrome skiff]

so like

asyncio.create_task(bot.ipc)
bot.run("123")

[green hinge]

Does anyone know why my time is still displayed offset by 1 hour despite converting to the "Europe/Berlin" time zone?

            start_time_utc = datetime.datetime.strptime(notification['started_at'], "%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ")
            start_time_de = start_time_utc.astimezone(pytz.timezone("Europe/Berlin"))
            start_time = start_time_de.strftime("%H:%M")```

[proud mason]

asyncio.create_task(self.ipc.start) but that should go in the bot init

[chrome skiff]

class CarlitoEmailBot(commands.Bot):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__(command_prefix=commands.when_mentioned_or(botinformations().prefix), case_insensitive=True, intents=intents)
        self.persistent_views_added = False

        self.ipc = ipc.Server(self, secret_key=secrets['APP_SECRET_KEY'])

        asyncio.create_task(self.ipc.start)

    async def on_ready(self):
        if not self.persistent_views_added:
            self.persistent_views_added = True
        
        self.loop.create_task(status_task())
        print(f"▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ \nErfolgreich eingeloggt als {bot.user}\nID: {bot.user.id}")
        print(f"Python: {sys.version[0:3]} pycord: {discord.__version__}")
        print('▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬')

[proud mason]

smth related to DST ?

[proud mason]

yeah try if that works. if not, you will need to use the second method

[chrome skiff]

not working i am getting a runtime error:
RuntimeError: no running event loop

[proud mason]

im not sure if it is asyncio.create_task(self.ipc.start) or self.loop.create_task(self.ipc.start)

[chrome skiff]

but self.loop.create_task(self.ipc.start) have to be in on_ready then right?

[proud mason]

not really iirc

[chrome skiff]

TypeError: a coroutine was expected, got <bound method Server.start of <Server endpoints=0 started=False standard_port=1025 multicast_port=20000 do_multicast=True>>

[proud mason]

my bad

[chrome skiff]

starting now

[proud mason]

so it works?

[chrome skiff]

yes

[proud mason]

cool

[chrome skiff]

works fine but do you know why it takes so long for the redirect?`

@app.route("/verified/")
@async_action
@requires_authorization
async def verified():
    user = discord.fetch_user()

    print(user.email)

    data = {
        "UserID": int(user.id),
        "UserEmail": user.email
    }

    await ipc.request("new_verify", data=data)
    
    return redirect("https://discord.com/channels/899448915206746134/1069410863078981643/", code=302)

is the redirect only starting when the new_verify route in the bot is done?

[proud mason]

no idea. what framework is that?

[chrome skiff]

flask

[proud mason]

hmm. nope. no idea

[chrome skiff]

okay

[fervent cradle]

Can I somehow call the get_fish function to load the fish from the database?
When I try to do this I always get "Function never awaited".

        options = [discord.SelectOption(label=fish) for fish in fische if fish.startswith(selected_letter)]
        super().__init__(
            placeholder="Wähle deinen Fisch aus",

            options=options,
        )
        
    async def callback(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):```

[full basin]

Because you're not awaiting it?

You either make the function sync

Or make the init async

[green hinge]

Which makes more sense?

[full basin]

Your db looks async

So

[full basin]

You're missing the important part, the code

[green hinge]

you did.

[fervent cradle]

indentation?

[silver moat]

and logic

is this in a cog?

[fervent cradle]

no

I was looking at the get started guide and came across this in the slash commands page

[silver moat]

did you add the command group to the bot?

[fervent cradle]

yeah

bot.add_application_command(math)
this line write?

right*

[silver moat]

yes

[fervent cradle]

I did

[silver moat]

could you provide the full traceback for said error?

Where is this being added?

[fervent cradle]

before the bot.run(token) line

[silver moat]

could you try using bot.create_group instead?

[fervent cradle]

does that mean I have to change the first command

wait, my bad

the same code you provided works on my end. Could you type pip list and show output?

topggpy maybe?

[fervent cradle]

if you could perhaps tell me what the error means, I could further try resolve it myself

checked, not there

[silver moat]

basically, the command is not cached.

[fervent cradle]

i see, also previously you said I made a logical mistake, could you tell me what the mistake was

[silver moat]

num1 and num2 are strings

they should be casted to an int.

[fervent cradle]

should've specified num1:int

👍

but again, that is unrelated to your error.

you can make an async init with something like this:

Can anyone help me? I do not understand it so completely and find on the Internet also no Doku or explanation 😬

[echo egret]

what is the difference between fetch_message() and get_message() ?

[limber urchin]

fetch_message makes an API call, get_message uses the bot's internal cache

[strange beacon]

get_message() will attempt to get the message from cache first Fetch Wont

[limber urchin]

get_message only uses the cache, fetch_message only makes an API call. Nothing is tried "first"

that's your best option ^

[silver moat]

there is no get_or_fetch_message afaik

[echo egret]

why can I get but not fetch from a Bot object?

[limber urchin]

because get uses the bot's internal cache

an API call requires a channel specified as well

[echo egret]

ok thanks for the help 👍

[limber urchin]

so basically, you should always try get first since it's faster and doesn't make any calls to Discord's API. If get returns None, use fetch

[grizzled sentinel]

If fetch returns none it does not exist

[green hinge]

This does not work, can you explain this to me or do you have a link where I can read this in more detail? 🙂

you can also use class methods. thats not difficult either

[proud mason]

just add this. copy and paste

[proud mason]

keep the rest like this

Although remove the await from super init

[green hinge]

Like this?

class Fisch(discord.ui.Select):
    async def __new__(cls, *args, **kwds):
        obj = super().__new__(cls)
        await obj.__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        return obj

    async def __init__(self, bot: discord.Bot, selected_letter, gewaesser):
        self.bot = bot
        self.gewaesser = gewaesser
        fische = await get_fish(gewaesser)
        options = [discord.SelectOption(label=fish) for fish in fische if fish.startswith(selected_letter)]
        super().__init__(

            min_values=1,
            max_values=1,
            options=options,
        ) ```

[proud mason]

yes that looks correct

you can now do smth = await Fisch(...)

[green hinge]

What do I need to insert for this?
*args, **kwds

[proud mason]

nothing. i think you can ignore that

[green hinge]

"kwargs" is not defined 😄

[proud mason]

oops. rename kwds to kwargs in the __new__ functions

[limber urchin]

Did you define bot?

[proud mason]

you need the async def __new__ code, you need to define __init__ as async, and await Fisch(...) in the super init

you also need to change this line

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

to

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

Is it possible to retrieve all the selections at the end to write them to the database without having to loop all the variables through each view?

[proud mason]

sorry i didn’t understand

anyways i gtg sleep

[green hinge]

I have a dropdown menu.
When I select something in this dropdown menu a new second dropdown menu is created.
If I select something there again, a third dropdown menu is created.
If I select something in the third dropdown menu a button is created. When I press the button I want to write the three selected contents from the dropdown menus into the database.
Can I then somehow access the contents in the callback of the button without always having to pass the values of the dropdown menus self.values as a variable into the next view of the next dropdown?
Because then I have later in the view of the third dropdown menu 2 variables that were passed where the values from the previous Drin stand and must then pass 3 variables to the button.
Is that somehow easier that I can access the values directly in the button? 🙂

Ig I'm not the only one here rewriting their code in order to migrate to v3. I created a v3 branch and use pycharm to switch back and forth. Unfortunately both branches use the same virtual environment, thus I can't install pycord v2 in one and v3 in the other. Is it possible to have different venvs/interpreters on different branches or do I have to create a seperat project?

[limber urchin]

Tbh migrating to v3 is not a very good idea unless you're doing it for test purposes

Hello! I have a question

Why don't slash commands appear for my bot on my sever? I tested several servers and edited the code in different ways, but there is no result
Initially, there were slash commands some time, but after some test now they simply do not appear (Could this be a discord rate limit?)

import discord
from config import settings

SubBot = discord.Bot(intents=discord.Intents.all())

print(f"::: Bot starts!")

@SubBot.event
async def on_connect():
    print(f"::: {SubBot.user} connected to Discord!")

@SubBot.event
async def on_ready():
    print(f"::: {SubBot.user} started successfully!!")

@SubBot.slash_command()
async def test(ctx):
    await ctx.respond(f"{ctx.user}")

SubBot.run(settings['TOKEN'])

[gleaming falcon]

Generic python question -- is there a way to have a master class that loads and returns an instance of a child class automatically?

Like I want to be able to load an instance of Fruit (contrived) but have subclasses,, e.g. Apple and Banana be returned based on some thing I pass into the Fruit constructor.

What's the best way of doing that? Or is that not something recommended? I need to abstract out some API calls but don't want my cog to have to care which class I'm actually interacting with, assuming they have the same methods

[strange beacon]

You could trigger the second and third Select and Button from the callback of the first select, then when the button is pressed you have access to all of the values and can write them to the DB.

[green hinge]

What do you mean?

[mild sigil]

Question about bot capabilities.

I am working on a bot to track some game statistics as well as achievement completions. Only issue is that with players self-reporting I want a means of verifying the data. Is it possible to have the bot wait for a specific reaction like a thumbs up or green check mark from a specific player/group before it runs the rest of the code? And how long can I have it waiting for each instance? If 10 players were to submit within an hour, does the bot have the capacity to remember each instance separately and wait for the requested reaction? I don't currently want code on this, merely to know if the API and python would be able to accomplish this.

My assumption is something along the lines of a intents.reaction with on_raw_reaction_add tied to true/false statement to see if user.id equals someone with higher admin role/perms?

[full basin]

Yes. The event is the best approach.

[limber urchin]

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

or the event

[full basin]

Isn't wait_for individual

Like it can't wait for multiple people to react

[limber urchin]

Oh, I thought they only wanted one person to react

I guess you could tie it into a loop and wait for a specific number of reactions. But in that case it's probably just better to use the event

[mild sigil]

Generally, I would like it to either accept with one reaction from an admin or from 3-5 reactions from unique players

whichever occurs first

[limber urchin]

You could do something like

while number_of_reactions < 5 and number_of_admin_reactions < 1:
    # wait for another reaction
# Do your stuff here

But the event listener might be cleaner

[mild sigil]

lol, noticed the edit and was about to comment on that

but yeah, that should probably work. I have a single command with 8 buttons for the options that each run their own code depending on which is pressed. Will play with this and see if I can get it to work properly

Thanks for the suggestions/help

[winter dagger]

Basic python question because I haven't ran into this yet:

What does the ellipses in this mean?
some_function(view: View = ...)

I'm used to the default being None. Wasn't sure if this acted the same way.

[full basin]

It's the default it'll run into if no argument is passed

And makes the argument non-required

[winter dagger]

Hmmm, interesting. So this is essentially the same as None?

[full basin]

If you do = None, then it'll be None when you don't pass an argument

[winter dagger]

Ah, I see. It allows the argument to not exist. Thanks!

[full basin]

You can probably Google it and get a better explanation.

[red geyser]

I have an add faq command that store the faq in a separate file, however the faq isnt being written to the file. So when ever i restart the bot, it says the faq isnt there.

import dictionary

@commands.command()#addfaq command
@commands.has_permissions(administrator=True)
    async def addfaq(self, ctx, question, *, answer):
        dictionary.faq_dict[question.replace("'", "")] = answer.replace("'", "")
        await ctx.send(f"FAQ added: {question} - {answer}")

[full basin]

Use an actual database

[red geyser]

no

im not looking at using an "actual database"

[nova garnet]

If i have an description of command, how can i get it as string to send somewhere?

Something like {bot.command.user.description}

😭

[mild sigil]

The embed = embed seems redundant, you already have it called.
Probably:

``await ctx.respond(str(embed))

or embed[1]

[nova garnet]

Thanks but i dont think thats what i want

could always just return embed.description if you want it somewhere else

Yeah. You need an actual bot object. Are you working on cogs or just your main file where you defined your bot instance?

For start, this is the main file for now.

bot = discord.Bot(intents=discord.Intents.all())

user = bot.create_group(name="user", ...

Hi
I cant understand why command options does not work
Ive tried to put option = [...] in @user.command
Put option into async def command
and tried to add @discord.command.option
And all does not works

bot = discord.Bot(intents=discord.Intents.all())

user = bot.create_group(name="user")

@user.command(name="info")
async def command(ctx: discord.ApplicationContext, test: discord.commands.Option(discord.Member, "Test")):
    await ctx.respond("test")

[full basin]

It's discord.Option

[nova garnet]

This?

[full basin]

Yes

[silver moat]

1. You are using self outside of a class.
2. Why did you make a cog for just the paginator?
3. In this case, self is being assigned to discord.ApplicationContext.

[nova garnet]

Why discord.Option(discord.SlashCommandOptionType.user)) shows only all who writed something in chat? How can i select from all members of server?

discord.Member, name=""

This code is sends nothing good 😔

Ive tried discord.ApplicationContext.author but it sends <discord.utils._cached_property object at 0x0000022B92A9C410>

[silver moat]

you would usually set default to None and handle the logic in the callback itself

[nova garnet]

This? Nice

Thanks

[proud mason]

Are the 3 dropdowns and button in the same message? Or are they in different messages

If they are in different messages, you have to pass the values around

You can also do user = user or ctx.author

So you don't need an if condition

[obtuse junco]

Why NOT to use Repl as a hosting platform

You should not use Repl.it to host your bot.
It may be a nice option as its "free" but you should use something else considering the major flaws.

• The machines are super underpowered.
• • This means your bot will lag a lot as it gets bigger.
• You'll need a web server alongside your bot to prevent it from being shut off.
• • This isn't a trivial task, and eats more of the machines power.
• Repl.it uses an ephemeral file system.
• • This means any file you saved via your bot will be overwritten when you next launch.

IMPORTATNT

• They use a shared IP for everything running on the service.
  This one is important - if someone is running a user bot on their service and gets banned, everyone on that IP will be banned. Including you.

Please avoid using repl.it to host your bot. It's not worth the trouble.

If you're looking for free options, consider using AWS/Google Cloud Platform/Azure and its respective free tiers or just pay for an actual VPS.

if the "reply chain" is too long, maybe

if you have message content intents you can increase your message cache and not deal with ratelimits

[real frost]

cause slash command didnt send any message

[proud mason]

Then you dont have a better way than passing it around

[zenith crystal]

Idk what too do?

[green hinge]

The system works like this, that a user presses a start button, then a new text channel is created only for the user. There he clicks then gradually through the dropdown menus and at the end the data should be written into the DB. The whole thing can of course be done by several users at the same time.
Should I then perhaps create a Dict at the first dropdown and then always pass only the Dict and add the values there so that I do not have to pass so many variables through later or will that not work?

[young bone]

can you show the pip list pls

[zenith crystal]

yeah wait

idk why its so much xD

[young bone]

why 2 times?

its the same everytime

[zenith crystal]

idk

ik

[young bone]

which py-cord version is that?

also uninstall this and py-cord and reinstall py-cord

restart vscode after that

[nova garnet]

How to display this user.created_at timestamp in <t:1675415220:D> style?

[zenith crystal]

Same error

[nova garnet]

_description = f"> {user.created_at}\n" +\
                   f"> {user.joined_at}\n" +\
                   f"> {user.joined_at}"

[nova garnet]

Ive found it
discord.utils.format_dt(user.created_at, 'R')

[young bone]

why should it not support it?

[green hinge]

How can I send a response without sending a message?
What options do I have there?

        if self.attached_message:
            await self.attached_message.edit_original_response(view=await FischView(self.bot, selected_letter, self.gewaesser))
            await interaction.response.```

[young bone]

there are no docs for it

[young bone]

you have to send a message

[green hinge]

But I don't want to send a message but only update my dropdown menu when I made another selection 😄

[young bone]

than edit the message with the response

[proud mason]

interaction.response.edit_message

Use that

To edit

[proud mason]

Yeah you can pass a dict. You can pass a list/tuple too

[green hinge]

Do you mean like this?

    async def callback(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):
        selected_letter = self.values[0]
        if self.attached_message:
            await self.attached_message.interaction.response.edit_message(view=await FischView(self.bot, selected_letter, self.gewaesser))
        else:
            self.attached_message = await interaction.response.send_message(view=await FischView(self.bot, selected_letter, self.gewaesser))```

[proud mason]

Depends on what you want

Not self.attached_message.interaction....

Just interaction.response.send_message

Use interaction you receive in the callback

[green hinge]

If I create this in the view of the first dropdown menu then this is also for everyone separately and is not overwritten by other values if another user also selects something in his own room or?

[green hinge]

I want my dropdown menu "Fish" to be updated (edited) when I select another letter. The message should not be deleted and posted again but at the point where it is simply edited because otherwise the sequence is no longer correct

class BuchstabeFisch(discord.ui.Select):
    async def __new__(cls, *args, **kwargs):
        obj = super().__new__(cls)
        await obj.__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        return obj

    async def __init__(self, bot: discord.Bot, gewaesser):
        self.bot = bot
        self.gewaesser = gewaesser
        self.attached_message = None
        fische = await get_fish(gewaesser)
        buchstaben = set()
        for fisch in fische:
            buchstaben.add(fisch[0])
        buchstaben_sortiert = sorted(list(buchstaben))
        options = [discord.SelectOption(label=letter) for letter in buchstaben_sortiert]
        super().__init__(
            placeholder="Anfangsbuchstabe Fisch",
            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.interaction.response.edit_message(view=await FischView(self.bot, selected_letter, self.gewaesser))
        else:
            self.attached_message = await interaction.response.send_message(view=await FischView(self.bot, selected_letter, self.gewaesser))```

[nova garnet]

I cant understand whats wrong, there is TypeError: 'in <string>' requires string as left operand, not int in if id not in user_first_join:
Ive tried to str(id) and then another TypeError: 'str' object does not support item assignment in user_first_join[id]
Then ive added int(id) and there is still this error

user_first_join = {}
f = open("user_first_join.txt", "r")
user_first_join = f.read()
f.close()

def save_user_first_join(id):
    if id not in user_first_join:
        user_first_join[id] = bot.get_guild(1069357003362807848).get_member(id).joined_at
        f = open("user_first_join.txt", "w")
        f.write(f"{user_first_join}")
        f.close()

@bot.event
async def on_member_join(user):
    save_user_first_join(user.id)

[young bone]

oh pls use "with open("")

also use async def and await

[nova garnet]

user_first_join = {}
with open("user_first_join.txt", "r") as f:
    user_first_join = f.read()

async def save_user_first_join(id):
    if str(id) not in user_first_join:
        user_first_join[id] = bot.get_guild(1069357003362807848).get_member(id).joined_at
        with open("user_first_join.txt", "w") as f:
            f.write(f"{user_first_join}")

@bot.event
async def on_member_join(user):
    await save_user_first_join(user.id)

I hope this is it

But

[proud mason]

Also, good idea to not name your variables as id. It's a built in python function too

[proud mason]

File.read returns a string

Don't use text files or json as database

[nova garnet]

Is it fraught with performance?
I need to write a simple code for my server for 50 people as soon as possible, I don't think it's worth turning to SQLITE for this

Or it is?

[proud mason]

Json and text files used as dbs are extremely prone to breaking or getting corrupted. Especially text file

You could use python pickling but i feel you might as well use sqlite

[young bone]

Can you store emojis and long text in a db?

[proud mason]

Yep

Heck you can even store the bytes of the emoji in sql

[green hinge]

What does it do?

await interaction.response.defer()```

[young bone]

you use this if the response takes longer

[green hinge]

Can I just use that or is that messy?

        if self.attached_message:
            await self.attached_message.edit_original_response(view=await FischView(self.bot, selected_letter, self.gewaesser))
            await interaction.response.defer()
        else:
            self.attached_message = await interaction.response.send_message(view=await FischView(self.bot, selected_letter, self.gewaesser))```

[young bone]

you still have to send a message or you will get an error

[proud mason]

If you create the dict in the first callback, it won't get overwritten by other users using it

[proud mason]

Not for view components

[proud mason]

Why not just use interaction.response.edit_message

[green hinge]

Because I only overwrite the dropdown menu from the letters and this then becomes fish instead of editing the fish dropdown menu that comes after the letters.

[proud mason]

Can you show what happens? Like a video if possible

[green hinge]

Wait a moment

[green hinge]

Where can I upload this?

[young bone]

do it here

mkv? oof

[green hinge]

OBS Format 😄

Here mp4

Code:

class BuchstabeFisch(discord.ui.Select):
    async def __new__(cls, *args, **kwargs):
        obj = super().__new__(cls)
        await obj.__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        return obj

    async def __init__(self, bot: discord.Bot, gewaesser):
        self.bot = bot
        self.gewaesser = gewaesser
        self.attached_message = None
        fische = await get_fish(gewaesser)
        buchstaben = set()
        for fisch in fische:
            buchstaben.add(fisch[0])
        buchstaben_sortiert = sorted(list(buchstaben))
        options = [discord.SelectOption(label=letter) for letter in buchstaben_sortiert]
        super().__init__(
            placeholder="Anfangsbuchstabe Fisch",
            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.response.edit_message(view=await FischView(self.bot, selected_letter, self.gewaesser))
        else:
            self.attached_message = await interaction.response.send_message(view=await FischView(self.bot, selected_letter, self.gewaesser))```

So the selections are dependent on each other.
Depending on which water I choose, I get other letters and depending on the letter other fish.
And I would like to do it now so that if I select a body of water and then a letter, I then but notice the body of water was wrong, that the dropdown menus of the letter is adjusted and then that of the fish of course also 🤔

[young bone]

btw you can use ö, ä and ü but its fine if you use ae

[nova garnet]

How to get id of server on what i have used command?

[young bone]

ctx.guild.id?

[nova garnet]

Thanks
But how to get it from this event?

@bot.event
async def on_member_join(user):
 ...

[young bone]

same way but with user

if you use user: discord.Member it will show it

[green hinge]

Okay 🙂
I can change quickly. My current problem is already more difficult 😄

How can I "save" the attached_message so that my intention works?

Because if I change the water then the dropdown menu for the letters is created again and thus the attached_message again to None so that I can then no longer edit the fish dropdown menu but a new create 🤔

[proud mason]

Ohh i understand now

[proud mason]

I think your can use this

.itworks

[winter condor]

https://cdn.nziie.is-a.dev/u/136Pn8M6lD7D

[green hinge]

Yes that works 😄

[green hinge]

But do you also know a solution for my problem what I actually want to solve?

[young bone]

I will steal this one

[proud mason]

I think you will have to delete the old one and send a new one

Wait that doesn't make sense

[sinful pivot]

Hello. how would I be able to create a dropdown based on a list of arguments?

The list basically contains dataclasses.

[green hinge]

But then the sequence no longer fits -.-
Otherwise, can I create a temporary JSON file with the username.json and store there the attached_messag of each dropdown and after I have run through everything and press the Ready button just delete the JSON file again?
Does this make sense?

[errant crane]

Here's the slash options example.

[proud mason]

I don't see why the dict way doesn't work. Don't use json please

Good idea for you to create a post in #969574202413838426 because this is getting big

[rose turtle]

Hello,
Is there away to set permissions in a private channel?
For example like this:

for channel in interaction.guild.channels:
            await channel.set_permissions(muted, speak=False, send_messages=False, read_message_history=True, read_messages=True)

[proud mason]

What's wrong with that? 🤔

.rtfm channel.set

[winter condor]

6 results

discord.TextChannel.set_permissions
discord.StageChannel.set_permissions
discord.ForumChannel.set_permissions
discord.VoiceChannel.set_permissions
discord.CategoryChannel.set_permissions
discord.abc.GuildChannel.set_permissions

[rose turtle]

Basically when I try that the private channels could be viewed too

[proud mason]

Btw you will run into a ratelimit if you change perms for all channels like that

[green hinge]

Yes I have now taken the dict variant that went quite well then it is always only one variable that I have to loop through and everywhere I just add the value 🙂

[proud mason]

Wdym?

[proud mason]

Cool

[rose turtle]

It's for the mute role

[proud mason]

So do you want to ignore private channels?

[rose turtle]

Yes

How do I do that?

[nova garnet]

Why permissions dont works?

from discord import default_permissions

bot = discord.Bot(intents=discord.Intents.all())

dump = bot.create_group(name="dump")

@dump.command(name="first_join")
@default_permissions(administrator=True)
async def command(ctx: discord.ApplicationContext):
  ...

Everyone still can use this command

[proud mason]

Check the permissions of the role for the channel before setting new ones

.rtfm channel.perm

[rose turtle]

Could please provide an example

[proud mason]

Default permissions can be changed by server admins from the server settings

[nova garnet]

Discord bots cant set this permissions by default?

[proud mason]

You can. But as i said, server admins can chage these permissions if you use default_permissions

[proud mason]

Uh. How can I provide an example.
Check the docs

[rose turtle]

Why is mutedrole=discord.utils.get(ctx.guild.roles, id=int(role_id)) not working?

[green hinge]

Yes I have created a post for my problem, maybe someone can look in and knows a solution for me 🙂

[grizzled sentinel]

Discord limitation
Permissions can only be applied to the group not each individual command inside the group.
You can get around this by making the bot check but this does not allow for customization by server admins.

[proud mason]

Didn't know that lol

[proud mason]

Use guild.get_role(id)

[proud mason]

Use channel.permissions_for(role) to get the Permissions
Then check if perms.view_channel: followed by set permissions

[rose turtle]

Thank you

[rose turtle]

Will it ignore private channels?

[nova garnet]

Thank you! I also thought about it

How would I create a cooldown for a modal? At the moment I have it on the button to open the modal, but I need it to only set the cooldown if its submitted.

[proud mason]

how do you currently have it on the button?

instead of updating time in button callback, update it in modal callback

you can also use self.stop in the modal and modal.wait in the button callback to keep updating the time in the button callback

[verbal marten]

new_message = interaction.message
        new_message.author = interaction.user
        bucket = self.cd_mapping.get_bucket(new_message)
        retry_after = bucket.update_rate_limit()
        if retry_after:

I tried just placing that in the modal callback, but it doesn't function

[proud mason]

Rather than bucket.update_rate_limit, use bucket.get_retry_after
then pass the bucket to the modal. and at the end of the modal, use bucket.update_rate_limit

cooldown stuff is undocumented. so bear with me if my solutions are not working.

[verbal marten]

Still not working, seems like its not setting a cooldown

[proud mason]

can you show the updated code

[verbal marten]

sure 1 sec

[verbal marten]

async def callback(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):
        new_message = interaction.message
        new_message.author = interaction.user
        bucket = self.cd_mapping.get_bucket(new_message)
        retry_after = bucket.get_retry_after()
        if retry_after:
            await interaction.response.send_message(f'cooldown')

        #modal stuff
        bucket.update_rate_limit()
        await channel.send(embed=embed, delete_after=18000)

[cunning furnace]

Is it possible to implement a system where when pressing a button, it sends a message asking you a question and then once you've answered it, it sends an embed with your answer to a specific person

[limber urchin]

yes

[wooden spindle]

I'm sure I'm being fuckin stupid

For some reason this listener isn't working

custom_commands is a dict and is not empty

    @commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_message(self, message):

        for command, response in self.custom_comamnds.items():
            if message.content.startswith(">" + command):
                await message.channel.send(response)

i'm fucking special

commands != comamnds

It essentially does the same

[grizzled sentinel]

Otherwise we will need more code

[fervent cradle]

Is it okay? As a backup method, what if I'll post the .SQL file in a private Discord server channel?? As a backup of postgresql? In every 1minutes

[grizzled sentinel]

There is no way you need a backup ever 1 min. Also discord only saves attachments for about a month iirc. And there are file size limits on discord.
So no not really a good option.

[fervent cradle]

So how can I save my data? Because im using AWS free tire and they can stop their services any time

Is there any good way to do it ??

[grizzled sentinel]

Databases save to a file if you can still access your files you will have your data.

[limber urchin]

If you don't have access to a way to store your files, you won't be able to store backups either. Simple as that

[fervent cradle]

I know that, but I'm just scared of they stopped their services or disable my AWS account i lose all data

[limber urchin]

Then find another service or another place to store your files. This has nothing to do with pycord or python at all for that matter

[grizzled sentinel]

My guess if they stop the service they will not delete the files

[fervent cradle]

So, still i get time to download those files ?

[grizzled sentinel]

Would be my guess, if you are super worried about it contact AWS support I'm sure they would be able to answer the question.

[fervent cradle]

Okh thanks ❤️❤️

I tried using a wait_for inside of a button which is inside of a view class but like it gives the error AttributeError: 'BuilderDecisionView' object has no attribute 'bot'

        def check(m):
            return m.author == interaction.user and m.channel == interaction.channel
        reason = await self.bot.wait_for("message", check=check)
        reason = reason.content```

[young bone]

you have to use interaction for it

not bot

[cunning furnace]

await interaction.wait_for(...)?

[young bone]

interaction.client

[cunning furnace]

you can use interaction.client inside of a cog?

i thought client and bot just always got replaced with self

Well thank you very much for the help

[rose turtle]

It sets permission to all the channels

how can i add prefix on the bot but slash commands can still work?

[young bone]

you mean prefix and slash in one command?

[fervent cradle]

nope, i mean can i make a prefix command and slash command

[young bone]

with commands.Bot

?tag client

[obtuse junco]

discord.Client # just for events
discord.Bot # events + slash/user/msg commands
commands.Bot # above + prefixed commands
bridge.Bot # above + bridge commands (application commands and text commands in one)

[fervent cradle]

I'll add commands.Bot even if i have dsicord.Bot?

[young bone]

replace discord.Bot

[fervent cradle]

aight

[rose turtle]

How do you make context menu in cogs?

can i have 2 bots running in the same file

like just have 2 instances

Why not to use json files for data storage
JSON files are commonly used to store data that is read by a program, however, they are unsuitable for storing dynamic data due to a number of reasons.
It is recommended to use a DBMS (Database Management System) as they come with optimized technologies for storing and retrieving information.

Advantages of using a database:
- Database tables can be related, making it easy to separate your information into multiple tables and only fetch what you need
- Databases allow you to use a query/data processing language to make complex data operations easier with less code
- One misplaced character will corrupt an entire file. A database very rarely experiences corruptions due to their automatic handling of data integrity
- Transactions in SQL databases allow you to revert unwanted changes and prevent data corruption in the case of an error
- Databases have support for indexes, allowing retrieval of some data to be extremely fast
- It is very easy to update existing data in a database, as opposed to re-writing a file
- Databases are reliable

Popular database management systems:

• SQLite3 (File based, no need for a server setup, SQLite is the most used database engine in the world)
• MongoDB (Stores data in documents a similar manner to JSON format, easy for beginners)
• PostgreSQL (Very popular and robust SQL based database management system)
• MySQL (Another popular SQL based system, good start for learning SQL)

[rose turtle]

Yes it's possible :
await ctx.send(file=discord.File("main.py"))

How to get bot launch time?

[young bone]

do you know basic python?

[fallow oracle]

you can probably use

@client.event
async def on_ready():

and in that function use a python timer to see how much time has elapsed

implemented that in a program of mine to see how long it has ran for

at init
https://github.com/couleur-tweak-tips/Smoothie/blob/fc39182023f9c39bf7d555d860f7a6b38262c9bb/src/main.py#L19

when everything else has ran
https://github.com/couleur-tweak-tips/Smoothie/blob/fc39182023f9c39bf7d555d860f7a6b38262c9bb/src/main.py#L81

[errant crane]

src/main.py line 81

done = time.time()```

Here's the basic bot example.

[young bone]

@fallow oracle ^

[fallow oracle]

indeed, though I am not familiar with what @client.event is syntactly and am not familiar with pycord

[young bone]

what is with discord.py?

[fallow oracle]

is there a way I could get ctx (or an alternative) in my on_ready function (or anything else that could be triggered on it's own at startup)

I'd like my bot creating a forum channel with an embed on the original message in the post when I run it (I don't want to deal with any manual functions on Discord and prefer using this as a CLI tool)

[fallow oracle]

I meant I have no experience with putting @ signs before functions or the async traits

[proud mason]

ctx is just extra data calculated based on underlying message or interaction. you dont get message or interaction on ready.

you can use bot.get_guild if you want

that gives you the guild

[fallow oracle]

ah okay nice, do you have a clue of what is wrong with my code?

[young bone]

@fallow oracle

[fallow oracle]

yeah I've read it but as I said I'm trying to create a forum on startup

[young bone]

you dont even define the bot right

also get the guild and create the forum

[fallow oracle]

yeah that's what i'm wondering about

[proud mason]

oop doesnt work that way. you need an object of ForumChannel. which you can get using guild.get_channel(id_of_forum). for which you need a guild object, which you can get using bot.get_guild(guild_id)

[proud mason]

yeah. intents is a kwarg @fallow oracle

.intents

[winter condor]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/intents.html
https://discord.com/developers/docs/topics/gateway#gateway-intents

import discord
from discord.ext import commands

# Get specific intents for fine control
intents = discord.Intents()
intents.emojis = True
intents.guilds = True
intents.messages = True  # Required for prefix commands!
...
# Get all non-priveliged intents; this excludes presences, members and message_content 
intents = discord.Intents.default()

# Set priveliged intents: these must be enabled on dev portal
intents.members = True
intents.presences = True
intents.message_content = True  # Required for prefix commands >= 2.0.0b5

# Get all intents; all intents must be enabled on dev portal.
intents = discord.Intents.all()

# Apply intents when creating your bot
bot = commands.bot(prefix="?", intents=intents)

[proud mason]

see the last line

[fallow oracle]

alright, set it up like so:

intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.members = True
intents.message_content = True

bot = commands.Bot(
    command_prefix=commands.when_mentioned_or("$"),
    description="",
    intents=intents,
)

[proud mason]

yea that should probably work

[fallow oracle]

    guild = bot.get_guild(1070184725580349440)
    forum = guild.get_channel(1071432837229719613)
    await forum.create_thread("1071432837229719613", "woo")

[proud mason]

also see this.

[fallow oracle]

worked 👍 now imma see if I can make an embed in that original post

[proud mason]

mhm that looks right

ohh nice

[fallow oracle]

so it seems there's no support to feed it an embeds.Embed object

maybe I could modify that message and edit it and potentially replace it with a message with features an embed?

[lethal valve]

How would I go about stripping the contents of an embed down into a format similar to that of an api response

[limber urchin]

.rtfm Embed.to_dict

[winter condor]

1 results

discord.Embed.to_dict

[limber urchin]

[lethal valve]

Appreciated 🫶

[fervent cradle]

Something's wrong with ephermal, how is it used?

Whenever I try to use it in a response the bot simply does not respond to the command anymore

[young bone]

and how do you send it?

[fervent cradle]

await ctx.respond(":CrossMark: Command execution failed: You cannot ban an administrator!", ephermal = True)```

[full basin]

"ephermal"

[fervent cradle]

Can you explain?

oh, the word needs to be in quotes?

[young bone]

[atomic wolf]

minor spelling mistake

[full basin]

It's ephemeral

Not ephermal

[fervent cradle]

oh lol

I'm confused with the spelling

And it worked! Thanks @full basin and @atomic wolf

[fervent cradle]

How to make an option like this? (not just bool)

[errant crane]

Here's the slash options example.

[limber urchin]

Look at line 15 in that example @fervent cradle

[fervent cradle]

👍

[topaz rune]

Hi, can a bot use multiple tasks.loop()?

[silver moat]

yes

[topaz rune]

it seems that it dont execute more than one at the same time

like, my second tasks.loop is only

@tasks.loop(seconds = 10) 
    async def actual_embed(self):
        print("test")
```but it dont even print test

[silver moat]

did you start it

[topaz rune]

hm

how to? I dont start my first one, and its still working apparently

oh

im dumb

First time that problem appeared

now Im getting no module named discord

I'm dumb

Need the packages again

[silver moat]

ok

[olive marsh]

Can you send me what the nix file should include?

I screwd up..

My god...

[limber urchin]

why are you using replit anyways?

[olive marsh]

Because it usually works and I'm more familiar with it

[limber urchin]

?tag norepl

[obtuse junco]

Why NOT to use Repl as a hosting platform

You should not use Repl.it to host your bot.
It may be a nice option as its "free" but you should use something else considering the major flaws.

• The machines are super underpowered.
• • This means your bot will lag a lot as it gets bigger.
• You'll need a web server alongside your bot to prevent it from being shut off.
• • This isn't a trivial task, and eats more of the machines power.
• Repl.it uses an ephemeral file system.
• • This means any file you saved via your bot will be overwritten when you next launch.

IMPORTATNT

• They use a shared IP for everything running on the service.
  This one is important - if someone is running a user bot on their service and gets banned, everyone on that IP will be banned. Including you.

Please avoid using repl.it to host your bot. It's not worth the trouble.

If you're looking for free options, consider using AWS/Google Cloud Platform/Azure and its respective free tiers or just pay for an actual VPS.

[olive marsh]

...

All of those will require a lot of setup and configuration

[limber urchin]

How?

[olive marsh]

I tried AWS

?tag repl

[obtuse junco]

No tag repl found.

[limber urchin]

okay?

[olive marsh]

?tag replit

[obtuse junco]

Read this to find out how you can install Pycord in Replit

• Old instructions: https://web.archive.org/web/20211128084858/https://namantech.me/pycord/installation/#replit

• New instructions: #998272089343668364 message

[limber urchin]

I'm just saying, replit will not work in the long run. If you want to develop Discord bots you should also learn how to host them properly. Especially if you ever plan on your bot growing.

[olive marsh]

I currently do it for practice

My bot doesn't do anything crazy anyway

Except that you can make announcements with ease while the bot just asks you for inputs

[limber urchin]

Well if you're doing it for practice, why not also practice how to set it up?

[olive marsh]

That's a good point actually

I created a new repl

Fixed

Ooof

Hello

¿How to make a modal and embed message in one interaction?

[silver moat]

send the message using ctx.send and the modal normally

[sinful laurel]

getenv no workie

it keeps on saying it doesn't exist

tried also adding dotenv_path = ".env" but it doesn't really help much

[young bone]

That is not a json...

[sinful laurel]

changed it and it still doesnt work...

[limber urchin]

Your env file isn't supposed to be in json format lmao

[sinful laurel]

still acts as it never exists

[limber urchin]

google how env files look

that's still completely wrong

[sinful laurel]

wait fuck i think i screwed up the syntax

its =

[young bone]

Also create a new token

[waxen whale]

So. Sorry but had to

[young bone]

what?

[waxen whale]

To clear the chat here

[young bone]

ok

[fair ledge]

Hello there! 🙂
Can autocompletion only be used with slash_commands or can I change the prefix somehow. So for example if i type in "cmd." as my prefix that the available commands with "cmd." as prefix are shown and described?

[young bone]

only slash commands

[fair ledge]

ok, I thought so. Thanks 🙂

[boreal abyss]

can i know how to make this list to auto complete?

list = ["probablilty". "randomized", "history", "likelihood"]

@bot.slash_command()
async def method(ctx, discord.autocomplete(list)):

is that true?

[young bone]

what?

[fair ledge]

check this out:
https://github.com/Pycord-Development/pycord/blob/master/examples/app_commands/slash_autocomplete.py

[boreal abyss]

im having hard time understanding this examlpe

where is the command

why do we return and do a for loop

why do we have 2 lists

[limber urchin]

Autocomplete takes a function that returns a list

[boreal abyss]

why cant it be exactly without like, a function why cant it just take a list

[limber urchin]

Because autocomplete is supposed to be dynamic

If you think making a function is hard, you might need to learn a bit more Python before making a bot

[boreal abyss]

def list():
return ["probablilty". "randomized", "history", "likelihood"]

no its not hard kik

[limber urchin]

so what's the issue then?

[boreal abyss]

im still confused how to link them

[limber urchin]

It literally tells you in the example. Look at line 138

[boreal abyss]

i just thought it takes a list not a function.

@real compasstion("color", description="Pick a color!", autocomplete=get_colors)
@real compasstion("animal", description="Pick an animal!", autocomplete=get_animals)
?

[fair ledge]

just search for the given parameter and you see that it is a function in the example 😄

[young bone]

?tag codeblocks

[obtuse junco]

No tag codeblocks found.

[young bone]

?tag codeblock

[obtuse junco]

Please put your code in a code block:

How can I make it so that I can remove all the nicknames in my server?

I want to register a command as a slash command but also on other prefixes like "?"

[limber urchin]

This is pycord, not discord.py

[fair ledge]

yeah, i know. That's why i was wondering on how to implement that on pycord 😮

[errant crane]

Here's the bridge commands example.

[fair ledge]

ah thanks a lot, 😄

[long moat]

Hey, I'm making a bot to read data from a discord game bot and the embeds it sends. When it sends them normally (i.e. not a deferred message) the data can be captured fine. Some of the commands, it "thinks" about what it's doing (these are text prefix commands) and then responds (with the words (edited) appearing above the embed).

I would appreciate some help or direction on how to make it read "deferred" messages / embeds?

i dont like them

[proud mason]

[astral mist]

like this

[proud mason]

dhooks is a blocking library

it will block the event loop

[astral mist]

i didnt tho

[astral mist]

?

[proud mason]

you didnt what?

[astral mist]

block the event loop

[proud mason]

not that. use discord.Bot not discord.bot

[astral mist]

oh

[proud mason]

check out the guide if you are using the library for the first time

.guide

[winter condor]

https://guide.pycord.dev

[astral mist]

fine but i will never use the built in webhooks

[proud mason]

well dhooks is not an async library. it doesnt use the event loop. thats why using its functions will block your bot from connecting to the discord gateway

damn thats some lag

I'm sure they don't and refrain to read the docs too.

[limber urchin]

so the usual

[long moat]

in slash?

Option(str, "description", choices=["choice1", "choice2"], required=False)```

adapt as req

i.e. int not str

but then your choices=[] will need to be integers not strings so choices=[1,2,3]

[true pewter]

to make a list of users, it should be like this, shouldn't it?

        list_users = await ctx.guild.fetch_members(limit=None)
        print(list_users)

[limber urchin]

try it and see

the docs explain exactly how to use the method

[waxen whale]

https://pycord.dev/tias

[long moat]

any ideas? i'm stumped. I tried fetching the message by id and it says theres no embeds, when there clearly is... lol

[silver moat]

you can use bot.wait_for

perhaps

[waxen whale]

seems more like the cache is making problems

[proud mason]

guild.members has the members tbh. No need to fetch them

[long moat]

so the game has "guilds", theres a way for someone to prove they are the "leader" by using a certain command, so i'm making a bot that tracks how often they have to do guild commands, who does them, when they reset for the next cycle etc.

the "proof" command, it "thinks" (deferred message) and then sends the embed which contains the "id" of the leader in

other than that there is no "automatic" way of confirming the person trying to register the guild with the tracking bot is actually the leader

[silver moat]

you can still use bot.wait_for to wait for an edited message.

[long moat]

i tried that and it came up blank.

[silver moat]

or the on_message_edit event

you have messages + message_content intents?

[proud mason]

Followup to a defer isn't actually a message edit iirc

Not sure but it would be cool if someone tested that

[silver moat]

hi could you make a post about this, it would help to keep it more organized

[silver moat]

in their original message, they stated the other bot they were listening to was using prefixed commands

[nova garnet]

Is there any examples of pages with buttons like this? If you know please show it to me i want to do same thing

[errant crane]

Here's the paginator example.

[nova garnet]

Thanks!

[silver moat]

https://guide.pycord.dev/extensions/pages/paginator-basics

[long moat]

i have done so.

[proud mason]

Oh my bad.

[true pewter]

when I use guild.members only I am the bot itself.

[proud pagoda]

You need to turn on the members intent to see other members in the guild

[true pewter]

And how is that done? @proud pagoda

[proud pagoda]

The guide has a something on that: https://guide.pycord.dev/popular-topics/intents

Make sure you enable it in the dev portal and in your code

[true pewter]

@green hinge

[green hinge]

I have not changed anything 🤔

[proud mason]

[green hinge]

I have also completely restarted the server and tried again

[proud mason]

can you uninstall and reinstall pycord. just to ensure no package goof ups

i havent seen that happen before lol

[green hinge]

Me neither 😄

I will reinstall pycord.

[proud mason]

can you also show the code for GewaesserView

i think you have a select menu with duplicate option

[grizzled sentinel]

You are not running them both with the same token at the same time are you?

[umbral island]

How can I properly move my bot to a different voice channel? I was following what seems to be an older tutorial that uses the method await self.vc.move_to() but this function does not seem to exist, or at least is not for pycord.

[grizzled sentinel]

It depends on what self.vc is

[errant crane]

Here's the basic voice example.

[umbral island]

in this case self.vc is none

[proud mason]

what even is self ? what class is this in?

[limber urchin]

How are you going to run a function on it if it's None?

[umbral island]

maybe i should have created a thread instead 💀

[green hinge]

No they are different bot tokens

[grizzled sentinel]

Another warning. We suggest sticking to the newer tutorials as a lot has changed.

[limber urchin]

Then it's pretty obvious what the issue is. Your other bot as a duplicate value somewhere

[grizzled sentinel]

This uses youtube_dl 💀

[umbral island]

Newer tutorials are always hard to find for me. Thats why i came here. Figured someone knew of a better tutorial or an official doc like you sent

[green hinge]

The funny thing is that it works on my PC locally and there are only problems on the server.

This will help too than

[umbral island]

Thanks a ton!

[limber urchin]

Why are you setting self.dictlist to an empty list and then looping over it?

[proud mason]

oh wait its you. the fish guy 💀

[green hinge]

I have used 1 to 1 the same .py file

[limber urchin]

So? You're using different tokens

[proud mason]

dont name your variable dict

[green hinge]

Yes

[limber urchin]

What even is this piece of code???

it makes no sense

how is that even running

[proud mason]

can you show what bot.waters is? also print options before super.init and see what you get

[green hinge]

bot.waters:
['Achtuba', 'Alte Festung', 'Belaya', 'Bernstein See', 'Bärensee', 'Kuori', 'Ladoga Archipel', 'Ladogasee', 'Moskito See', 'Sewerskij Donez', 'Sura', 'The Cottage', 'Untere Tunguska', 'Windenbach', 'Wolchow', 'Yama River']
options:
[<SelectOption label='Achtuba' value='Achtuba' description=None emoji=None default=False>, <SelectOption label='Alte Festung' value='Alte Festung' description=None emoji=None default=False>, <SelectOption label='Belaya' value='Belaya' description=None emoji=None default=False>, <SelectOption label='Bernstein See' value='Bernstein See' description=None emoji=None default=False>, <SelectOption label='Bärensee' value='Bärensee' description=None emoji=None default=False>, <SelectOption label='Kuori' value='Kuori' description=None emoji=None default=False>, <SelectOption label='Ladoga Archipel' value='Ladoga Archipel' description=None emoji=None default=False>, <SelectOption label='Ladogasee' value='Ladogasee' description=None emoji=None default=False>, <SelectOption label='Moskito See' value='Moskito See' description=None emoji=None default=False>, <SelectOption label='Sewerskij Donez' value='Sewerskij Donez' description=None emoji=None default=False>, <SelectOption label='Sura' value='Sura' description=None emoji=None default=False>, <SelectOption label='The Cottage' value='The Cottage' description=None emoji=None default=False>, <SelectOption label='Untere Tunguska' value='Untere Tunguska' description=None emoji=None default=False>, <SelectOption label='Windenbach' value='Windenbach' description=None emoji=None default=False>, <SelectOption label='Wolchow' value='Wolchow' description=None emoji=None default=False>, <SelectOption label='Yama River' value='Yama River' description=None emoji=None default=False>]

[mossy holly]

Hey guys quick question: is there a way to reset a View when a button is clicked ? Thanks 😄

[full basin]

And what do you mean by reset view?

[mossy holly]

Sorry I wasn't clear just realised:
I have a few select, and one of them is disabled after the user made the choice (because next one depends on this first choice), I would like to provide a way to reset (i.e re-enable the first select) without having to retype the command

[full basin]

Create a new instance of the view, edit the message as response, pass such instance

[mossy holly]

I already tried (unless I didn't understood you) but I have this error:

The code in my button callback:

newView = TestView()
await interaction.response.edit_message(view=newView)

I've tried with enable_all_items() same error

[gleaming falcon]

Discord allegedly supports four images in an Embed if the URL is set.

I also do see that it appears to be based on separate embeds with the same destination URL. Does Pycord have any special way of handling this, or do I just create my own Embeds manually?

(Answer: Manually works fine)

[sinful laurel]

it's not a real token

it's literally the rickroll url plus some jibberish

i know im very funny

it's so original

[mossy holly]

Ok mb I'm stupid it was because I was adding lists of options (now I make unions of sets it's working)

[green hinge]

I have tested the whole thing several times now. With different bots, with the same bots, locally on my computer and on the server.
Locally on the computer everything works without problems. On the server not.
All my other bots also run without problems.
But the problem is also only with this one button. Other functions of the bot also work without problems. I really do not know what the whole thing should be 😬

[waxen whale]

It’s not officially documented so we don’t added support for it. (Like with many things)

[harsh canyon]

ctx.voice_client.play(discord.FFmpegPCMAudio(queue[0]), **ffmpeg_options, after=self.qhandler(self, ctx))
``` this code calls qhandler about 5 seconds after the media starts not when it ends

[abstract otter]

server = await bot.fetch_guild(server_id)
streamer_member = await server.fetch_member(streamer_member_id)

streamer_member.voice

streamer_member.voice is always None, despite the user being in a voice channel.

Thanks in advanced!

[young bone]

Do you have intents?

[abstract otter]

Yes I have members and presence intents enabled in code and on the developer portal

[proud mason]

@green hinge you are receiving the same error right

[green hinge]

Yes

[green hinge]

Strange is just that it works for me on the computer in VS without problems and makes problems on the server 🤔

[proud mason]

what python and pycord versions on both?

[mossy holly]

Try to launch the bot on your computer and to launch the command 2 times

My problem was that I programatically changed the list of options from 1 select and I wasn’t checking if the option was already in (but it was a property of my view subclass so I still don’t understand why it was affecting another command since it’s suppose to start another instance of the view)

[tired goblet]

How can I make a discord.Option mandatory at the time of submitting a slash command?

I already have required=True but it still lets the user submit without filling in all the values

[proud mason]

did you specify a default value for the option?

[tired goblet]

Its like this

[young bone]

remove the =

[proud mason]

it should be :

[limber urchin]

You're supposed to type hint, not set the value

[tired goblet]

Oh should I use a colon

Oh okay

[proud mason]

yea

[tired goblet]

Worked, thanks all

[green hinge]

The same versions for both

[green hinge]

On my computer everything works without problems

[young bone]

do you use anything like Replit?

[green hinge]

What is Replit?

[grizzled sentinel]

Is this the pip list for the sever? If no can I see that.

[green hinge]

Yes is from server

[green hinge]

Python 3.10

Have not done any update or anything else

[rose turtle]

How do I make a massban command?

[young bone]

the same like a normal one?

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api/models.html#discord.Guild.bans

[rose turtle]

Could you provide an example?

[limber urchin]

You won't always find examples for everything. Sometimes you need to write your own code

[rose turtle]

I did write my own code it didn't work

[grizzled sentinel]

If you share that here we can help you find the bug

That is much better for helping you learn rather than us just giving you the code

[limber urchin]

Then share that code and explain what "didn't work". We can't read your mind.

[solid agate]

Anyone know if we can access the Sprout bool for Members? (if it even exists)

[limber urchin]

What is "the Sprout bool"?

[solid agate]

that thing

[proud mason]

Oh that's new member

[solid agate]

yeah, aka "sprout"

[proud mason]

I believe it appears if the member has joined in the last 1 week

[limber urchin]

You can just check the member's join date and compare to the current date

[solid agate]

I want to know if we can access that in code, or if we need to do some mental gymnastics with the joined_at parameter

the latter i see 😛

[limber urchin]

It's not really that complicated

Just one date - the other

[proud mason]

Mhm. It's a one liner

[solid agate]

everything with dates is complicated.

[limber urchin]

Not if you do it right

[proud mason]

Not if you always use timezone aware datetime

[proud mason]

And this

[solid agate]

mental gymnastics it is! thanks for the answers 🙂

[proud mason]

Timezone naive datetimes should be deleted from the universe

[grizzled sentinel]

All time should be based on UTC no time zones just know that where you live day is not 6am to 6 pm but like 12am to 12pm or something
