I dont think they wrote there own code. :/

Okay it seems to be a problem with the DB somehow. I exported the DB from the server and hosted it locally on my computer and then I get the same error. If I use the old local DB then it works on the computer, will load this times on the server and test.

and ok

As a sanity check, is it expected that I cannot include the whole server in a Thread by using @everyone? Roles seem to work, so was sorta hoping default_role would work even better.

(This is for legitimate server-wide notifications)

gleaming falcon
#

Unrelated, how can I get whether a higher role has access to a channel?

Say I have a couple of roles:

  • Core
  • Verified

I have a specific channel that Verified has explicit access to, which would give implicit access to Core (who is presumably also Verified)

When I ask

target_channel.permissions_for(<Role Core>).view_channel

I get false, even though someone with the Role definitely has access to the channel.

Is there some other way I can calculate this?

Is there a way to get all active cooldowns?

proud mason
gleaming falcon
# proud mason You would pass a member object. That factors in multiple roles

Hm. But then that would require comparing all users individually, which sounds inefficient.

The idea is to infer whether members in the current channel can see messages in a target channel based on each channel’s allowed Roles.

For instance, a channel that only allows the “Core” Role should be able to see messages sourced in a channel that has a base allow of “Verified”, but not vice-versa.

For now, I just made an explicit override in the target channel so that permissions_for works, but I wish there was a better way of rolling up permissions.

Hello everyone. I wanted to know. Who can throw off the code for the discord cogs. And approximately how it should look in the files.
PS. I already tried to make cogs on PYCord ,but every time I run the program code, only one file with commands out of 3 is launched.

#

I will be glad if you write in a personal chat. Thank you in advance.

anyway to get the bot to not use footer if guild has no icon

Its not hard to find..

Ok so stop acting smart bc that shows nothing of what I want so i think you should read again

young bone

#

The docs tell you everything you need to know

#

And if you can't use simple if statements, you shouldn't be making a bot yet

#

How many buttons can i have in pycord?

grizzled sentinel
#

25 per message

limber urchin
#

The same as any other library. Max 5 action rows, and max 5 buttons per row

grizzled sentinel
#

But that is a discord limitation not a pycord limitation

If you mean just in general, trillions, idk. How ever many you can keep in your ram

Hey guys just a quick question:
Is there any preferred way to store data when developping discord bots ?
I was thinking to use either sqlite (I never used it before) or PostgreSQL (which I already used) but I think sqlite is more adapted as I don't need crazy functionnalities

still helm
#

sometimes the simplest is the hardest

#

f***** copy failure 😄

young bone
limber urchin
#

There isn't a preferred way as it all depends on what data you're storing and what you're comfortable using. If you're good at sqlite, there's no reason to use postgres unless you actually need to.

#

You don't really need to worry about what database to use as long as you know how to use it. Unless you have an ungodly amount of data that needs to be handled in a specific way, then it might be worth looking at which engine works best for you.

#

If you're comfortable with psql, use psql.

mossy holly
#

Ok thanks to both of you (I'll probably go for sqlite then 😄)

young bone
limber urchin
#

You should probably use aiosqlite over the one that comes with python though.

young bone
#

^

limber urchin
#

I mean 99% of your queries probably finish in a matter of milliseconds, but it's still good practice to use async wherever you can in an async environment.

mossy holly
#

Thanks I'll look into it (+ I'm not really comfortable with async yet so it'll probably help me learn a little more ^^)

limber urchin
#

Knowing how to work with async/await is mandatory for making a Discord bot, so learning more sounds like a good idea.

green hinge
#

Can I use instead of

await interaction.response.send_modal```
```py
await interaction.channel.send_modal```?
still helm
wicked helm
#

With slash commands, can everyone see the response or are they private?

silver moat
#

?tag ephemeral

obtuse juncoBOT
#

An 'ephemeral' message is one that's only visible to the person who invoked a command. If you ever got a command error with a blue background, this is an example of one.

To do this, set ephemeral=True when you first use an ApplicationContext. (This includes .defer()ing it; the choice of whether a message is ephemeral or not must be made up front. If you .respond() to a deferred message, setting the ephemeral flag at that time will have no effect.)

This is the equivalent of hidden=True if you're coming from interactions.py

silver moat
wicked helm
#

Ahh, that is why "The Application didn't response" and the correct response are different colours

#

Thank you!

silver moat
#

wicked helm

Woop, I got it 😄 That makes this much easier

How can you reply to a interaction response message? When i try and use ctx.message.reply or ctx.interaction.message.reply, the message object is always None

Any ideas why this:

def get_oauth_tokens(code):
    url = 'https://discord.com/api/v10/oauth2/token'
    params = {
        "client_id": BOT_ID,
        "client_secret": BOT_KEY,
        "grant_type": 'authorization_code',
        "code": code,
        "redirect_uri": REDIRECT_URL,
        "scope", "identify",
    }
    response = requests.post(url, data=json.dumps(params), headers={'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'})
    return response.json()

Is returning this:
{'error': 'unsupported_grant_type'}
I also tried doing json=params, as well as using path queries

do you have something like this active?

soft girder
#

Hmmm ... I don't know.

cyan quail
#

it errors for the first condition it's checking for (grant_type) since it can't read the data at all

#

...ironic that your variable is called params lol

high jay
#

n=int(input("Enter number:"))

temp=n

rev=0

while(n>0):

dig=n%10

rev=rev*10+dig

n=n//10

if(temp==rev):

print("The number is a palindrome!")

else:

print("The number isn't a palindrome!")

#

could someone explain me this code?

#

it's a program to check whether a number entered by the user is a palindrome or not

#

101 when reversed gives us 101, since 101 = 101 hence it is a palindrome whereas 102 when reversed gives us 201 which isnt equal to 102 hence it isnt

#

basically this is what a palindrome is

#

just need help w the code

#

im new to python so please explain it in simple terms

cyan quail
#

this sounds suspiciously like homework... so i won't explain it fully
% (mod) gets the remainder from a division
// (div) is the opposite; it gets the result without the remainder
e.g. 10%3 = 1, 10//3 = 3
n or temp is whatever number you input
then it's doing some fun loops with rev; i recommend printing the results of each variable to see how the program progresses.

#

Isn't there an easier way of doing this

cyan quail
#

if i had to guess, someone gave them that code to analyze

#

it's a decent demonstration at a low level at least

#

if you wanted a better method idk convert to string and iterate through to see if i matches length - i

full basin

#

so i googled the question and found this code

#

this is what i have done

i can't really think of any other way other than the code i sent earlier

do you have one in mind?

cyan quail
#

well.. you could just not convert the type on a certain line

but again as per #help-rules we aren't gonna provide extensive help for hw/exams; the solution here should be straightforward enough to figure out on your own or with a bit of research

high jay
#

but okay lol

I'd just convert it to a str and reverse it lol

Just create a variable that stores the current timestamp when your bot starts. The uptime will be current time - start time.

If you want BOTH slash and prefix commands, however, you should look into the bridge bot

#

Is there a way to detect if a user is a self bot?

flat kite
#

Nope, sadly

limber urchin
#

If there was, do you not think Discord would have implemented that already?

delicate jolt
#

in a cog

loud holly
flat kite
limber urchin
#

well I say "reliable", it's a way at least

flat kite
limber urchin
flat kite
#

That would be to send a link to something, which Discord then embeds

I guess with links, you can check with https check thing

I'm pretty sure an embedded link is different from a bot embed

#

i have bridge commands setup how to check for a specific error in an error

# 
    @bridge.Cog.listener()
    async def on_application_command_error(self, ctx, error):
        if isinstance(error, commands.UserNotFound):
            embed = discord.Embed(description=f"Invalid User Silly", colour=col)
            await ctx.respond(embed=embed, mention_author=False)
#

Currently I have this but it's not working

limber urchin
#

That listener should be in your main file.

#

And on_application_command_error only triggers for slash commands

delicate jolt
#

yeah its in the same file

#

oh i read that wrong

#

whats the one that triggers for bridge

limber urchin
#

I do not believe there is a collective listener for that

delicate jolt
#

is there one for a command in particular?

limber urchin
#

So if you have a command called my_command you can do @my_command.error as a decorator

delicate jolt
#

and for the function?

#

i got it to work

#

Thanks for the help 🙏 you were correct as always

proud mason

#

If it doesn't already exist, I haven't used bridge commands personally so not too educated on them

Checklist for Application Commands Not Showing Up:
• Does your bot have the application.commands scope?
• Are you loading cogs before on_ready and on_connect?
• Is on_connect not overridden?
• Did you update to the newest version of py-cord (tag: install)?
• Is User Settings > Accessibility > Chat Input > Use legacy chat input turned off?
• Did you share your code and errors?
• Do you still have libraries that conflict with the discord namespace (e.g. discord.py)?

.botvar

winter condorBOT
#

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

astral mist
proud mason
#

depends on where foo is

#

if foo is run before bot is ready, it will work. else it wont

#

you might want to look into asyncio.Event if you want to synchronise stuff

What is the best way to make message templates when sending a response. With slash commands I subclassed get_application_context so I could do ctx.prespond.success(message) and it would return an embed that was created to look like a success message. However there is no such thing as get_interaction_context so how would I add these functions to interaction s well?

proud mason
#

you will need to use function programming

#

is this in a view?

#

if so, you can have a method that accepts an interaction (or even the button/select menu), and does the stuff you want

#

or you can even have this function outside the view in the global scope that does the same

What is "internal message cache", if I may ask?

# solemn idol What does this mean? What is "internal message cache", if I may ask?

pycord has a message cache that stores messages the bot receives. it has a size limit of 2000 messages by default. pycord has various such caches, like member cache, role cache etc.
often it happens that an older message was edited and it wasnt present in the cache. events with raw are called regardless of whether the object is in cache or not

Because 16384 is > than 10000

but the code here is "while i < 10000", so shouldn't it not print 16384?

#

You're printing i after the change

#

When the loop starts again and checks, it stops

Because i is not smaller than 10000

I've been using slash commands for quite a while now and have been registering them one by one, which is I believe normal, however, I've been wondering if I could "bulk register" all slash commands at once. (I haven't been able to do so, so far which is why I'm asking)

grizzled sentinel
#

Pycord is able to handle registration for you. Can you show how you are registering them?

tight sentinel
#

the way I'm registering them is different than what I want ( which is bulk register ), but sure:

@client.slash_command(
    name="ping",
    description="Bot latency"
)```
(*it works! but that's not how I want it to be*)
#

I was thinking of something maybe as following:

commands = {
"ping": "bot latency",
...
}```
grizzled sentinel
#

I think you would have to use docstrings for the description though.

tight sentinel
#

oh, didn't notice that my bad, yeah that's fine, tho what I'm worried is the choices since I usually use

So I have a situation where if I announce updates, the message would be sent in every server that has configured the Bot in a logging channel, is it needed await asyncio.sleep(0.05) when sending the message to those channels to prevent my bot from being put in the spam list?

cyan quail
#

though regardless, the library already handles ratelimits for you so there isn't much risk

#

also you should probably encourage users to follow an announcement channel instead

hushed ledge
#

One message removed from a suspended account.

cyan quail
#

it's not built in no

loud holly
cyan quail
#

just have them enter their destination channel, then on your end use channel.follow(destination)

#

bot will need decent permissions though

hushed ledge
cyan quail
#

again, it's not built in; you'd need to create your own system

hushed ledge
cyan quail
#

if your button's custom ID is unique enough, you could easily set up a dict that maps the custom ID to the last timestamp it was pressed at

yes

(and tbh, using an @everyone mention in every guild your bot's in may be seen as abuse)

dry gazelle
#

If I have lets say 1000 people clicking a button at one time, I am needing to defer these interaction responses, and hititng the rate limit quickly. Is there any way for me to throttle these calls to make them not hit the rate limit?

#

I would think asyncio might have something to help?

cyan quail
#

interactions have their own ratelimit which you typically don't have to worry about

#

but hm

#

the library already handles ratelimits for you by queuing stuff when necessary

dry gazelle
#

Weird because it gets rate limited quickly

cyan quail
#

is it specifically defer that gets ratelimited?

silver moat
#

what is in your callback

cyan quail
#

or somewhere else in your code

silver moat
#

replit?

cyan quail
#

run

dry gazelle
#

The interaction.followup.send() call is returning a 429 error saying its being rate limited

#

But even before being rate limited, it was getting a 404 unknown interaction on the interaction.response.defer() call

#

(Not using replit)

#

Using a Vultr VPS to host

#

That's the callback for the button

cyan quail
#

should probably defer before the DB call, beyond that the best you could do is create your own queue system with task loops which handles followup.send

#

though odd that ratelimit handling isn't applied here...

dry gazelle
#

Yeah that was what is weird, that it is not automatically handling the ratelimit

#

I know the issue that started this more was the fact that the generate_watermark_image() function is a compute heavy function, so with more than 100 calls at a time, it can take a few seconds to complete, but this should be solved by the defer() calls, no?

cyan quail
#

strictly speaking yes, the main issue is that defer is being ratelimited then you're doomed

dry gazelle
#

ugh

cyan quail
#

but i don't think it should

dry gazelle
#

the first error started coming when it was giving me this error when trying to call defer

cyan quail
#

perhaps paste/screenshot the error?

dry gazelle
cyan quail
#

that's a completely different button

dry gazelle
#

wrong error hold on

#

that's the correct buttoin

#

Should i get rid of the button being part of this view?

cyan quail
#

i mean the button itself is fine

#

but yeah you can't really counter that

young bone
#

I cannot see any message you send

cyan quail
#

because it's impossible to do anything else if you can't defer

young bone
#

at the interaction

dry gazelle
#

The line await interaction.followup.send(file=discord.File(img_path), ephemeral=True) is the response to the interaction

#

it is just sending an image in an ephemeral message

young bone
#

you need something like interaction.response.send_message or edit_message

dry gazelle
#

well I had the interaction.response.send_message, but then i saw i needed to defer the calls because the computation was longer than the 3 second timeout

#

@young bone ^

cyan quail
#

thus you'd actually have to go to discord for an increased ratelimit

#

(i think that's how it works?)

#

but indeed, we could do with a github issue on ratelimits not being handled on every function

dry gazelle
cyan quail
#

you cannot delay a defer

#

or rather, you can't extend that 3 seconds without a response

proud mason
dry gazelle
cyan quail
#

if discord themselves is preventing the response you need to continue then it's out of our hands

dry gazelle
#

would that get around the rate limit?

cyan quail
dry gazelle
#

I was just doing the response.send_message before and it was just running out of time and not finding the interaction, but not getting rate limited per se, so I will try something like that

ornate current
#

nvm i figured it out

cyan quail
#

if you respond immediately before doing anything else then maybe it'll be viable

proud mason
cyan quail
#

yeah but observing the error here #998272089343668364 message, it couldn't make it to defer

do they actually have 0 rate limits or reduced rate limits

proud mason
proud mason
# dry gazelle so is there any way around doing the followup?

not really. i made a bot wide producer consumer based coroutine queue for the followups that sleeps around 0.3 seconds before sending the next followup. if a followup still failed due to a ratelimit, then sleep for the time specified in retry_after and retry the followup again. I havent faced issues after that

proud mason
cyan quail
#

interesting

dry gazelle
#

and isnt the rate limit like a 15 minute cooldown, or is it just until you aren't makeing more than 50 calls per second

General python question... any OOP gurus about? I want to set up and reference configurations for a single common service (API) but with different configs/base urls. There will be a dozen of them or so. Much (if not all) of the same class logic itself would apply, it's just various addresses that might change.

Can't determine whether I should have a Singleton that contains all of the configs, or use individual instances with some sort of collection class

alpine helm
#

How do you prevent the bot from running any command until the bot is ready

#

I have database commands but people tend to use them more often. When the bot is restarting, it takes some time to load the database. Up until then, any database command used will cause error

#

There is await self.bot.wait_until_ready(). I can put this in every command function but that would be redundant?

#

I am sure there must be another way to stop commands from running until the bot is fully loaded

This is more of a design question: when should I name a file in its plural state (e.g. enums.py as opposed to location.py)?

limber urchin
# silver moat This is more of a design question: when should I name a file in its plural state...

This is a comment from the Java reddit, but I think it makes sense in any environment:

As always, it's up to your discretion and what makes sense in your environment, but I tend to name them singular when the classes in the package are classification and plural when they are implementations. For example, I would put Sheep, Goat, and Pig inside of com.example.animals and I would define it as com.example.animal in the case that it contained infrastructure, utility, or other similar classes such as Pet, WildAnimal, Feeder, AbstractAnimal, CommunicationInterface, etc.

#

It doesn't look like there are any conventions for it, so yeah, pretty much up to you whatever you think makes the most sense.

I have included the 'WetterView' above.
I call the view 'WetterView' via the button. After I click a button in WetterView I want the 'OptionalView' to be called again and the button to be displayed disabled.
How can I get this to work?
Because to include the views on the other side does not work as far as I know or?

from tageszeiten import WetterView


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

    @discord.ui.button(label='Wetter', custom_id="Wetter_Button", style=discord.ButtonStyle.primary, disabled=True)
    async def wetter_button(self, button: discord.ui.Button, interaction: discord.Interaction):
        attach_message = self.spotdaten[1]['messageid9']
        await attach_message.delete()
        await interaction.channel.send(view=await WetterView(self.bot, self.spotdaten))
        await interaction.response.defer()
limber urchin
#

What? What isn't working? You're just sending code

green hinge
#

If I put this in my tageszeiten .py to then call the OptionalView again. My bot always crashes. I think because I import the two files each other and thus have an infinite cycle or?

from submit_spot import OptionalView

await interaction.channel.send(view=await OptionalView(self.bot, self.spotdaten))```
limber urchin
#

I don't understand what you're trying to do. Why are you importing OptionalView?

#

And why are you awaiting OptionalView?

green hinge
#

I have a file submit_spot.py where the OptionalView is inside.
Here I call the WetterView from the file tageszeiten.py via a button.

In the WetterView is also a button. If I click this I would like to call again the OptionalView with the button which should be however deactivated.

limber urchin
#

So why don't you just edit OptionalView and disable the button in your button callback?

green hinge
#

Because when I press the button in OptionalView, the button should be deleted and then be under the WetterView again.
So that OptionalView is always the last message.

#

I want to jump to another file via the button click, execute something there and then jump back to the insert_spot.py file to display the view again.

limber urchin
#

Why can't you just import both views into one file and use both of them? Your file structure makes no sense

green hinge
#

Okay my problem is more complex after all, I have to think again, thanks anyway 🙂

green hinge
#

How can I access the contents of the dict "spotdata" here outside of init and without a function?

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

    data = self.spotdaten[1]
limber urchin
#

you can't

#

and why would you ever want to?

green hinge
#

I want to check with an If query if the variable 'check' is set to True. If it is set to True the button disabled should be displayed, if it is set to False the button enabled should be displayed.

#

Had thought so

    if self.spotdaten[1]['check'] == True:
        @discord.ui.button(label='Wetter', custom_id="Wetter_Button", style=discord.ButtonStyle.primary, disabled=True)
        async def wetter_button(self, button: discord.ui.Button, interaction: discord.Interaction):
            await interaction.response.defer()
    else:
        @discord.ui.button(label='Wetter', custom_id="Wetter_Button", style=discord.ButtonStyle.primary)
        async def wetter_button(self, button: discord.ui.Button, interaction: discord.Interaction):
 await interaction.response.defer()
limber urchin
#

I have no idea what you are talking about. Why do you need to make a variable called data outside of your functions??

pallid magnet
#

how to let buttons access value?

limber urchin
#

?tag codeblock

obtuse juncoBOT
#

Please put your code in a code block:
```py
Here is your Code
```

That makes reading code in Discord a lot easier:

print("This is an example.")
pallid magnet
# 
class Event(View):
    @button(label="1:Apex", style=discord.ButtonStyle.blurple)
    async def callback1(self, button, interaction):
        data=data+str(interaction.user)
        await interaction.response.edit_message(content=f"List:\n{data}\nPlease select ", view=self)
limber urchin
#

Where is data defined?

pallid magnet
#

user id

limber urchin
#

what?

pallid magnet
#

save user id

limber urchin
#

where is data defined???

pallid magnet
#

gobal variable

limber urchin
#

?

#

why?

proud mason
#

.botvar

winter condorBOT
#

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

proud mason
#

use that instead of global vars

pallid magnet
# 
global data
data=""
class Event(View):
    @button(label="1:Apex", style=discord.ButtonStyle.blurple)
    async def callback1(self, button, interaction):
        data=data+str(interaction.user)
        await interaction.response.edit_message(content=f"List:\n{data}\nPlease select ", view=self)
#

not work

proud mason
#

what doesnt work?

#

.idw

#

any errors?

winter condorBOT
#

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.

pallid magnet

#

Don't use global variables when you don't need them

limber urchin

you can just edit the current select menu with different options

glacial falcon
silver moat
# 
original_options = select.options
# remove your option here
new_options = ...

select.options = new_options
glacial falcon
silver moat
glacial falcon
#

hmm...

glacial falcon
# silver moat iff `select` is a child of `view`.

so i want to edit the select menu after clicking the button
and theres a button callback function taking a View, a Button and an Interaction object
do i do this?
View.children[0].options = new_options
and await Interaction.response.edit_message(view=View)?

silver moat
#

What does your button callback look like?

glacial falcon
silver moat
#

Is this in a view subclass?

glacial falcon
#

yes

#

i renamed self

silver moat
#

other than the casing, everything looks fine.

glacial falcon
#

thanks for helping

proud mason
limber urchin
#

local variables shouldn't have any uppercase letters anyways if you want to follow the normal conventions (which you should)

#

and renaming self seems useless to me

🤷‍♂️ I wasn't the one saying it isn't good

limber urchin

And what's stopping you from using your own brain? Instead of a stranger that tells you it's bad and doesn't give a reason.

#

Either way you'll have to deal with things like proper authentication to view transcript etc.

AttributeError: 'Guild' object has no attribute '_member_count'

proud mason

#

It wouldn't be that hard to just run django on it's own and use a shared database though

proud mason
#

If you only need a web framework then you might be better off using fastapi or quart

limber urchin
#

Yeah, if you only want to display HTML pages with no auth stuff or anything django is going to be overkill.

#

But Django does come with a pretty good built-in ORM and Authentication system

#

But tbh if you want to build an actual web application, I'd look at a fully fledged JS/TS frameworks instead. Like Angular or SvelteKit

sick quest
#

is there a way to make a forced set of options in a slash command? like if I want the user to input a weekday, it can only be Monday, Tuesday, etc.
I've tried autocomplete but the user can still input something else, it's more of a suggestion

silver moat
errant craneBOT
#

Here's the slash options example.

sick quest
#

cool thanks!

limber urchin
#

It's a Discord limitation, if you need more than 25 options you have to use autocomplete and make your command respond with something like "Invalid value for option 'weekday' " if they input something else.

Quick question how to use emoji with name from particular server and can we use animated emojis from a server with the bot?

limber urchin
#

Type a \ before the emoji and you will see what to use in your bot
E.g pycord = !pycord

#

And yes, you can use animated emojis

#

As long as the bot has permission to use external emojis in the server
