Basic Pycord Help (Quick Questions Only)

[calm plume]

so i have to make a seperated table for reactions?

and have like columns

"vote_or_downvote" "user_id" ?

[proud mason]

Looks right

[calm plume]

it sounds a little complex and not as performance efficient

like it will only have over 0.2 seconds difference or something

if things turn out to well be performant

then il keep it

[meager mica]

so even when i have await ctx.response.defer() I get Unknown interaction
and it says application didnt respond is there a way to fix this or is it problem with host

the node is located in germany

[silver moat]

show code?

[calm plume]

btw what happens if people spam it

will it keep ip with the spam

or nah?

[proud mason]

Not really. Getting data from local db should be easily less than 25ms, while getting reactions from discord could be as high as 600-700ms

[proud mason]

Definitely

Sqlite is powerful

[calm plume]

hmm ok

[proud mason]

Yea you can try and implement, pretty sure it would have a noticeable speed difference

[meager mica]

it works hwen i host on my pc fine but the client.ws.latency is like 108ms is that too long for even defering to work

heres main part of code

async def play(ctx: discord.ApplicationContext, level="medium"):
    await ctx.response.defer()
    embed = discord.Embed(title="Send a 5 letter word to guess", color=0x009afc)
    if level == "easy":
        word = random.choice(easy_words)
        embed.description = "Easy mode"
        amount = 1
    elif level == "medium":
        embed.description = "Medium mode"
        amount = 2
        word = random.choice(easy_words)
    else:
        embed.description = "Hard mode"
        amount = 5
        word = random.choice(hard_words)
    game = wordlelib.Wordle(word = word, real_words = False)

    print(ctx.user.name, word)
    message = await ctx.followup.send(f"<@{ctx.user.id}>", embed=embed)```

them functions should be too time consuming

[proud mason]

Do you have multiple instances running?

[meager mica]

i dont see any ill reset token just incase

reset token same issue

112 ms bot.ws.latency

[silver moat]

do other commands work?

[meager mica]

nope

they all get unknown interaction

[silver moat]

do you have an on_interaction event?

[meager mica]

i do not

i got on ready event and on message event

[proud mason]

Can you reproduce this error with a basic bot (on ready event and only 1 Slash cmd)? On same bot token and different bots token

[meager mica]

this bot i very simple on its own 2 slash commands

ill comment out everything and just respond and see what it does

[blissful hazel]

Can you put slash commands in a subclass?

[silver moat]

yes

[proud mason]

Oh btw do they take longer than 15 mins?

[meager mica]

nope

[blissful hazel]

Ah google is misleading...
What decorator do i need to use?

[meager mica]

the error comes about 3 seconds after command

but it takes too long to defer it or somthing like that

[proud mason]

Hmm

[silver moat]

https://guide.pycord.dev/popular-topics/subclassing-bots#basic-example

[meager mica]

so i removed defer

and it works with simple bot but when i have defer it dont work

[proud mason]

Wow that's weird. Can you confirm you are on py-cord 2.4.0 ?

[silver moat]

"contact your are"

[proud mason]

My mobile keyboard is borked

[proud mason]

Did you by any chance mean subclass Slash command?

[blissful hazel]

I've got something like this

class MyBot(discord.Bot):
    @discord.application_command(guild_ids=[guild_id])
    async def test(ctx: discord.ApplicationContext):
        print('test worked!')

The command does not register?

[proud mason]

Uhh, are you trying to add the commands inside the bot class?

[blissful hazel]

Yes...

[proud mason]

Hmm

I wonder if you can do that

[silver moat]

nope

[proud mason]

Try @self.slash_command, but ig you would need to do this inside the init

Not sure if that could work tho

[silver moat]

this wouldn't work because it is not added to the bot

[proud mason]

👀

[limber urchin]

Yeah, that's not something you can do

[silver moat]

You should use cogs to add them or the functional interface.

[blissful hazel]

Okay, thank you!

[proud mason]

Functional interphase 💀 (what even is that)

[limber urchin]

Putting everything in the same class isn't really a good design choice either imo

[silver moat]

@bot.slash_command()
async def skull(ctx):
  await ctx.respond(":skull:")

[proud mason]

Hmm

So the normal route

[meager mica]

yes

im checking responding then editing

and see if it works

[blissful hazel]

How do you send colored code blocks?

[meager mica]

```lang
code
```

[blissful hazel]

print("Hello, world!")

thank you! 😄

[copper knot]

is there a way to override the default commands.Cog.listener() error handling so i can make it not be printed and instead sent to a channel?

[silver moat]

code your own

[meager mica]

i moved to another node and it works apparently the hosting just sucks

[copper knot]

then i need to figure out where in the code the errors are printed do you know where

[silver moat]

yes

[copper knot]

i mean just normal exceptions

[copper knot]

(i forgot to call it lol)

[proud mason]

there is a on_error event that is dispatched for errors arising from event handlers, but using it isnt very easy

[copper knot]

yeah i just found it

i see why it would be difficult to use

i see how you could make this work better by just adding an as error after the except Exception and passing that error into on_error

wait i can just override that

lel

[proud mason]

yea lol. no need to rely on on_error event then

[river dove]

AttributeError: 'Bot' object has no attribute 'bridge_command'. Did you mean: 'message_command'?

does anyone know why im getting this error

[limber urchin]

Show your code

[proud mason]

?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)

[young bone]

can you show the pip list

[fervent cradle]

hey after debugging a slash command i got ,

discord.errors.HTTPException: 400 Bad Request (error code: 30034): Max number of daily application command creates has been reached (200)```
eventhough i have in the command guild_ids=[my_guild_id], why did i get rate limited? and is there a way to continue implementing my command without being rate limited in the future?

[grizzled sentinel]

Make sure you only have 1 bot running with that token at the same time

otherwise they will fight over what gets registered

[fervent cradle]

oh, i have it hosted and at the same time i am running a local instance

[limber urchin]

You should use a different bot for development testing, otherwise you'll run into all sorts of issues and conflicts.

[fervent cradle]

yea i was just about to ask that, if i should make another bot for local testing

Hello everyone, i've got some stupid error:

        #code here```

and i can't see any callbacks for `SlashCommandGroup`

and there are slash command groups in another cogs, but they work correctly

[grizzled sentinel]

what are you trying to do with the cog? Is hfd = discord? Shouldn't command_attrs={"hidden": True} be a argument in the __init__

[fervent cradle]

i've just put it there by mistake

[grizzled sentinel]

And there is no test_group.callback or test_group._callback in your code

[fervent cradle]

yes, and i don't understand why py-cord said about it

[limber urchin]

What is hfd?

[grizzled sentinel]

another person solved it by removing command_attrs from the class

So, my problem was class Tickets(Cog, command_attrs=dict(hidden=True)):can't have command_attrs, or at least dict(hidden=True)

it must treat the group as a command. It might be a bug

[calm plume]

ok question

i didn't use the reactions thing Om nom said

bc i didn't feel nesscarry

but how can i improve this line

it took 0.59s to update theme reactions

    votes = [user.id async for user in msg.reactions[0].users()]
    downvotes = [user.id async for user in msg.reactions[1].users()]
    if theme_author_id in votes: votes.pop()
    if theme_author_id in downvotes : downvotes.pop()

which is purely unacceptable

if i manage to make it take like almost 0 seconds

from 1.1 seconds it will go to 0.7

[copper knot]

i was talking about py async def _run_event( self, coro: Callable[..., Coroutine[Any, Any, Any]], event_name: str, *args: Any, **kwargs: Any, ) -> None: try: await coro(*args, **kwargs) except asyncio.CancelledError: pass except Exception: try: await self.on_error(event_name, *args, **kwargs) except asyncio.CancelledError: pass in discord.Client btw

[proud mason]

Don't use async for in a list comprehension

Use it like a normal async for block of code

[proud mason]

This is the same as using flatten

[calm plume]

but i mean i need user id

and yeh i need for the program to be as time efficient as possible

idc if the code isn't too readable

but don't overdo it on readability

[proud mason]

Yea so, Iterate and break if user.id is equals msg author id. At least that's what I would do for this code ^

[calm plume]

this doesn't make sense

what happens if the structure is this

User
The Target
User
User

it won't take account the other 2 last users

and its not the same thing as

User
User
User
The Target

[proud mason]

Do you use the count of user reactions?

[calm plume]

well i don't and the reason being is why

[proud mason]

I understood you only check if msg.author is in list of reaction users

[calm plume]

also theme_author_id is a ID

not to be confused with a actual author object

and is selected from the database

i think i got an idea

well i had it

but never thought it will really work

[proud mason]

Oh yea make a pr

[copper knot]

?

[proud mason]

Well you can add it to the library. Would be cool.
That would make it on_error(event_name, error, *args, **kwargs) right

[calm plume]

i knew it this was pathetic

    author = bot.get_user(int(theme_author_id[0]))
    if author is None: author = await most_used["guild"].fetch_member(int(theme_author_id[0]))
    results = await asyncio.gather(msg.reactions[0].users().flatten(), msg.reactions[0].users().flatten(), return_exceptions = True)
    if author in results[0]: results[0].remove(author)
    if author in results[1]: results[1].remove(author)

highest is 0.72 seconds while lowest is 0.55 seconds

[grizzled sentinel]

What exactly are you trying to do?

[calm plume]

i wanna get all users, compare if one of the users is in the reaction, then count based on condition

if the user reacted then -1, if not it remains as it is

[thorny kindle]

Hi, Ive got a command in mind however im not sure on what to search in the pycord docs, The command is supposed to repeat what you say in the message into a channel you must select. Im just not sure about how to add the channel and get the bot to notice what i want it to repeat and repeat it in that channel.

[calm plume]

simplest thing in the world

u take a argument channel id

u look if the channel id is valid(if its string or int, if the channel exists itself)

oh wait, i forgot its much more simple

[proud mason]

How does using a normal async for loop not make sense then

[calm plume]

im confused rn

[proud mason]

Alr so you wanna do smth like this

[grizzled sentinel]

Is it in a cog?

[proud mason]

async for user in reaction.users():
    if user.id == author.id:
        break
    else: 
        return # returns if not broken

[thorny kindle]

cog?

[errant crane]

Here's the slash options example.

[calm plume]

i don't think u understood what i am trying to do

[proud mason]

😭 👍

[grizzled sentinel]

That example will help you get the channel. In the command. If you still are a bit confused take a look at the guide

[proud mason]

Alr I'm heading to sleep now

[grizzled sentinel]

.guide

[thorny kindle]

Alr, Thanks

[devout anvil]

What will this return if the user has no nickname

random.py is from python

what is letters?

[topaz quartz]

Hello, can't import pycord even though it shows up on pip show py-cord. I've tried reinstalling discord.py

[novel jay]

You don't import pycord, you import discord

also remove discord.py because it'll cause naming problems

[topaz quartz]

ok so its a straight up replacement

[novel jay]

yes

[topaz quartz]

would it break any existing code if i replace discord.py or is it just an extension

[novel jay]

its a fork of discord.py, V3 will be more of its own thing

[novel jay]

Nothing should break instantly, but do testing and minor changes may be needed

[topaz quartz]

aight ty

[topaz quartz]

from discord.ext import commands is gone, I'm assuming I'll have to replace it with the new ones?

@bot.user_command or slash commands

[novel jay]

that should still exist

[novel jay]

works for me

can you share your pip list?

pip freeze

[copper knot]

okay but idk how to update the documentation

i looked at the docs source and it looks like it autogenerates

[young bone]

?tag install

@cyan quail you contribute often, can you help?

[cyan quail]

docs for what specifically

the documentation is for the most part autogenerated, but in many cases you still need to update the original .rst to include the function

[copper knot]

discord.Client

[young bone]

do you only use discord.Client?

[copper knot]

i only am updating discord.Client

[young bone]

?

[copper knot]

https://github.com/Pycord-Development/pycord/compare/master...mariohero24:pycord:patch-1

[copper knot]

doesnt say anywhere

[cyan quail]

then add the docstring to the original method

[copper knot]

oh i found it

in a different file

okay ive completed the checklist

You cannot really reload the cogs without a restart...

[silver moat]

isn't that the point of cogs?

[young flint]

wtf ?

[cyan quail]

no... ##1907 broke it because no one tests their damn prs anymore

[errant crane]

https://github.com/Pycord-Development/pycord/pull/1907

[young flint]

since when ? why?

[young flint]

what the fuck

[young bone]

^

[cyan quail]

how do you remove an entire variable and not check for any references

[silver moat]

💀

[young bone]

VS code has an Deeple extension?

[cyan quail]

that's github.dev

[young bone]

oh

[young flint]

https://cutecats.vip/​‌​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌

you have got to be shitting me

im just gonna rollback man

[cyan quail]

just

use 2.4.0

[young flint]

yea

[silver moat]

Is a fix PR'ed yet?

[cyan quail]

no, but i suspect you need to rename extra_events to _event_handlers

tbf it's only 2 lines but man it's impressive how that wasn't tested at all

[silver moat]

I'm sure they tested the events tho

[cyan quail]

yeah but if you're removing a variable, maybe check that it isn't being referenced in two major files?

like every IDE even does that for you

[silver moat]

vim

[cyan quail]

die

[young flint]

im not even sure how they got passed testing

[silver moat]

CI doesn't have 100% test coverage

[young flint]

I mean just manual testing yourself

[cyan quail]

im pretty sure regular event registration was fine

[young flint]

yea it is

[cyan quail]

but both on_command_error and unload_cog would be broken

[young flint]

i think more people would have noticed if it wasnt

[cyan quail]

well it's only master so

merged like a few days ago

[young flint]

yea

[cyan quail]

or... 12 hours ago

[young flint]

its an easy fix

[cyan quail]

at least you noticed that fast, thanks

[young flint]

lmao no problem

ive spent far too long away from pycord

[thorny pasture]

Quick Question

How do i use slash commands in Cogs?

In my Main file is just use bot.slash_command()

Bot being an commands.Bot()

[young bone]

from discord.command import slash_command?

?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)

[silver moat]

it would be @discord.slash_command

@thorny pasture

[thorny pasture]

Alright lemme try

Thx in advance

Imports would just be. Import discord. Right

[silver moat]

yea

[thorny pasture]

Alright. How do i check if person running slash_command has a certain permission?

Wasnt that like discord.has_permission or something?

[young bone]

the same like a prefix one

and discord.default_permissions

[thorny pasture]

Ah alright.

[young bone]

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

[thorny pasture]

Thanks alot. That is exactly what i meant.

[thorny pasture]

Btw when using slash commands. You have discord.Member right as a type for context. But is there also one for just any discord user even if they have never joined?

joined the guild*

[silver moat]

discord.Member is a misnomer. In reality, it can just be any user.

[thorny pasture]

So could you just enter id or something?

Or just name and discrminator

Would that work as that input type?

[silver moat]

you can <@id>, too

[cyan quail]

the raw ID works in discord input types

but just name#discrim won't work if the bot doesn't know the user

[thorny pasture]

Alright thanks.

Appreciate the help.

[thorny pasture]

Is it possible to pass something other than just the bot object to a cog.

For example a database connection?

So i could use it in the cog.

[silver moat]

?tag botvar

[obtuse junco]

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

[silver moat]

your db can be a botvar

[thorny pasture]

Perfect thx.

[true panther]

Docs say @command.has_any_role() accepts list as input but it seems like it doesn't?

It doesn't throw any errors but instead behaves like no roles were passed in

[young bone]

you have to Enter just the id or name

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

[true panther]

Yeah, but I'd like to have a variable with a list of roles. I guess unpacking it will work.

[proud mason]

Yea if you update the python function, and the docstring, the docs will be updated too

[copper knot]

okay

[tired goblet]

hi, how can i disable buttons in a view after they have been used?

actually not when they have been used, but upon some other specific trigger

[proud mason]

view.disable_all_items

Followed by msg.edit(view=view)

[proud mason]

(there are multiple ways to do this)

[tired goblet]

okay!

thank you

[calm plume]

let me explain a bit more detailed of what the issue is

so i want to get a list of users discluding only one user. All of the rest shall be in the list no matter on their position. Then i want to get the count of them and i do this process for 2 reactions

Understandable?

[calm plume]

ok im in to very good stuff

class CustomThread (threading.Thread) :
    def __init__ ( self, msg_reactions, theme_author_id) :
        super().__init__()
        threading.Thread.__init__ ( self )
        self.msg_reactions = asyncio.run(msg_reactions.users().flatten())
        self.theme_author_id = theme_author_id
        self.value = None

    def run (self) :
        user_list = [user.id for user in msg_reactions if user.id != self.theme_author_id]
        self.value = len(user_list)

but i need to run async task thing

into the thread and lets say i get errors when trying

RuntimeError: asyncio.run() cannot be called from a running event loop

so how do i run it?

as well as RuntimeWarning: coroutine '_AsyncIterator.flatten' was never awaited

[limber urchin]

Why are you using threading?

[calm plume]

bc i saw some improvement

while testing

and coming up with random ideas

that might have worked on the long run

[tired goblet]

should i do this in the button callback?

it says that message isn't defined

[calm plume]

like i kind saw 0.01 seconds the operation doing instead of ≈ 0.6 seconds

although it didn't really do it

i believe its capable of speeding things up

[proud mason]

Try interaction.edit_original_response

[proud mason]

You need to use asyncio.run_coroutine_threadsafe

[calm plume]

hmmm ok

[proud mason]

If threading consistently gives you better performance than asyncio then you are doing asyncio wrong

Because asyncio is just programmer controlled threading rather than system randomised threading

[tired goblet]

am i doing it wrong here?

[proud mason]

(in python at least)

[proud mason]

view=self

[tired goblet]

ah

[proud mason]

Check if the correct message is edited, else you might need to use interaction.message.edit(view=self)

[tired goblet]

actually this one sounds more proofed

[calm plume]

requires loop

um how do i type it exactly

[proud mason]

Pass bot.loop to the thread

And pass this loop to the function

And wtf is threading.Thread.__init__

super().__init__ already does that

[calm plume]

o

k

[tired goblet]

works perfectly, thank you

[calm plume]

now says

Replace this expression with an iterable object.

in

        result = asyncio.run_coroutine_threadsafe(self.msg_reactions.users().flatten(), loop = self.loop)
        user_list = [user.id for user in result if user.id != self.theme_author_id]

[proud mason]

Well discord prefers interaction.edit_original_response iirc. Not sure

[proud mason]

Uhh full error?

[tired goblet]

it was editing the wrong message

[calm plume]

the IDE displays this as a wanring

[tired goblet]

so i tried the other one

[proud mason]

Ah yea i thought so

[calm plume]

but here since i run

RuntimeWarning: Enable tracemalloc to get the object allocation traceback

[proud mason]

Interaction.message.edit is good too

[calm plume]

RuntimeWarning: coroutine '_AsyncIterator.flatten' was never awaited

[proud mason]

Hm

[calm plume]

in this

class CustomThread (threading.Thread) :
    def __init__ ( self, msg_reactions, theme_author_id, loop) :
        super().__init__()
        self.msg_reactions = msg_reactions.users().flatten()
        self.theme_author_id = theme_author_id
        self.loop = loop
        self.value = None

    def run (self) :
        result = asyncio.run_coroutine_threadsafe(self.msg_reactions.users().flatten(), loop = self.loop)
        user_list = [user.id for user in result if user.id != self.theme_author_id]
        self.value = len(user_list)

oh wait

it returns now RuntimeError: There is no current event loop in thread 'Thread-6'.

same with thread-5

aka the 2 threads for the 2 reactions

[proud mason]

||you really spent hours trying to implement this but wouldn't implement a db based setup ||

[calm plume]

yeh

i don't want to tbh

[proud mason]

Idk how to solve your error lol, wait for someone else. It would be a great idea to create a post in #969574202413838426

[calm plume]

imma ask chatgpt if it can come up with stuff

[proud mason]

Try to include as much info as possible. Including your previous attempts

[calm plume]

yes

yup impossible to do threading

with asyncio

time to read docs of asyncio

if nothing works

then docs will work

[young bone]

wasn't it asyncio.to_thread?

[calm plume]

im kinda lazy to implement it now

like im really losing hope

ok yknow what im opening a help form]

[silent meadow]

hi, can anyone guide me for str type Options in slash commands?

[proud mason]

asyncio.to_thread allows you to run blocking functions asynchronously
asyncio.run_coroutine_threadsafe allows you to run coroutines from a different thread

[young bone]

: str?

[silent meadow]

@discord.slash_command(name="rps", description="Play rock-paper-scissors against the bot!")
   
    async def rps(self, ctx, choice:Option(str, description = 'Choose your weapon', choices)):

this was my max intuition... choices is a list

[young bone]

choices requires a list

[silent meadow]

there is a list

one sec

[silent meadow]

choices = [{"name": "Rock", "value": "rock"},
               {"name": "Paper", "value": "paper"},
               {"name": "Scissors", "value": "scissors"}]

choices = [{"name": "Rock", "value": "rock"},
               {"name": "Paper", "value": "paper"},
               {"name": "Scissors", "value": "scissors"}]


@discord.slash_command(name="rps", description="Play rock-paper-scissors against the bot!")
   
    async def rps(self, ctx, choice:Option(str, description = 'Choose your weapon', choices)):
        # Define the possible outcomes of the game
        outcomes = {"rock": {"win": "scissors", "lose": "paper"},
                    "paper": {"win": "rock", "lose": "scissors"},
                    "scissors": {"win": "paper", "lose": "rock"}}

        # Generate a random choice for the bot
        bot_choice = random.choice(["rock", "paper", "scissors"])

        # Determine the winner of the game
        if choice == bot_choice:
            result = "It's a tie!"
        elif bot_choice == outcomes[choice]["win"]:
            result = "You win!"
        else:
            result = "You lose!"

        # Send a message with the result of the game
        await ctx.send(f"You chose {choice}, I chose {bot_choice}. {result}")

the full code ☝️

[calm plume]

ok done made a thread

[proud mason]

That's a list of dictionaries

You need a list of strings iirc

Or of optionchoice

[silent meadow]

ohh

[zenith verge]

How to make a modal callback work again after failing(did not satisfy a condition)? It seems not to be called again after an error in the same modal

A public bot seems to do this but I can't figure it out

[fervent cradle]

How do you convert a discord.Permissions value into something readable that can be sent to the user to tell them which permissions are missing without manually mapping every permission to a name?

[proud mason]

Wdym? Do you want to send a modal as a response to another modal?

[proud mason]

Iterate over the permissions object and add to a string?

[fervent cradle]

Any examples? Im failing to understand since the object has no attributes which arent numbers that I can see. I just end up with generator objects

[proud mason]

Uhh iterating should give you a tuple of permission and value

Smth like

my_str = ""
for perm, value in permissions:
    a += f"..."

.rtfm permissions

[winter condor]

perm should be the attribute name iirc

[frank thistle]

Hmm, i was trying to iterate over discord.Permissions, should it have been discord.permissions?

[dry echo]

is it possible to hide user_commands for user which have not a specific role or permission?

[zenith verge]

I put a if statement to filter the input in a modal, and once the input didn't satisfy it, the callback method doesn't seem to be called again after that
(I checked it several times)

return didn't work either

[grizzled sentinel]

Discord allows a minimum and maximum length if that is not met it will not submit the model. Other wise you have to do the checking and send a new modal.
What I did is if a value does not meet my criteria. It would set it to a defualt value and send a message saying
"Some values were set to defualt becouse there input was incorrect." Than offer the modal again

[fervent cradle]

Hey is there anyway to do something like this?

    message_name = await bot.wait_for('message' from profile_id)

Since anyones message gets read and saved, when i only want the author of the command messages to be saved

[fossil mulch]

Does anybody here uses Tortoise Orm for his Bot?

[grizzled sentinel]

@prime sundial

?tag install

[obtuse junco]

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

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

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

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

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

[prime sundial]

import discord
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'discord'

[grizzled sentinel]

You do not need git if you are installing the base version

[proud mason]

you iterate over the object

[prime sundial]

i installed git

[grizzled sentinel]

Did you also uninstall d.py?

[proud mason]

yes

[grizzled sentinel]

please show pip list

[prime sundial]

yes

[prime sundial]

how?

[grizzled sentinel]

Same way that you installed pycord type python -m pip list

[fossil mulch]

Ok, I'm relatively new to the whole database stuff, is there any place I could send you my snippets and you can tell me if I'm doing it completely wrong?

[grizzled sentinel]

You could open your own thread :)

[fossil mulch]

Or do you maybe have your bot on GitHub so I can have a look there?

[proud mason]

i dont, but i can send you my models file

[fossil mulch]

Didn't knew if an Thread about Tortoise would be appropriate on this server so i started here

But I can open one, for sure - thanks

[grizzled sentinel]

Its fine, as long as it somehow relates to a discord bot we will help.

[grizzled sentinel]

You somehow installed pycord V3 you want to use pycord V2.4 (latest)]

V3 is still in development

[prime sundial]

how?

i used to use replit

im now on vsc

[grizzled sentinel]

python -m pip uninstall py-cord
python -m pip install -U py-cord

[zenith verge]

ooooh ok, I was just wondering how other bots could do it in the same modal

not quitting and generating another modal

[prime sundial]

now imma try

WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

[grizzled sentinel]

Yup, as of now discord only supports length as a restriction of models. They offer a bit more like number and channel/user in slash commands

[prime sundial]

tysm man, its been a few years last time i programmed

im coming back to discord.py again tysm

[grizzled sentinel]

Pycord is different than discord.py. But if you meant just bot dev in general: 🎉

[zenith verge]

tysm, this worked too haha

[proud mason]

👀 wait are you sending a modal as a direct response to another modal (without resending button) and it works?

[grizzled sentinel]

As another warning discord does not allow you to respond to a modal with another modal. I think it is kinda dumb but nothing we can do. I have been waiting for a modal update for some months now.

What most people do is send a button that says click to continue.

[zenith verge]

uh wait

how does it work yeah

[fossil mulch]

Can i paste my code to pastebin or something like this?

[zenith verge]

strange

[fossil mulch]

Post Limit is reached =D

[grizzled sentinel]

?

[zenith verge]

the same modal class, but yes

[fossil mulch]

any recommendations, i saw on some servers pastebin for example is banned

[grizzled sentinel]

I can still create posts?

[grizzled sentinel]

?tag paste

[wind jay]

how to add cooldown to a button

[proud mason]

no library built in way to do it

you would need to handle it yourself

you could use CooldownMapping classes which the library uses internally for cmd cooldown, but it will be overkill for this

[grizzled sentinel]

Something you could do depending on how long the cooldown is have a Time To Live Cache (TIL) and is the user is in the cache dont trigger the button code.

[wind jay]

button_cooldowns  = []

async def cooldown_remove(userid: int):
    if userid in button_cooldowns:
        await asyncio.sleep(10)
        button_cooldowns.remove(userid)

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

    @discord.ui.button(label='Test', style=discord.ButtonStyle.blurple, custom_id='persistent_view')
    async def Test(self, button: discord.ui.Button, interaction: discord.Interaction):
            
        if interaction.user.id in button_cooldowns:
          return .......
        else:
          reply 
          button_cooldowns.add(interaction.user.id)

something like this should also work

[grizzled sentinel]

👍 that is basically a TIL cache

[waxen whale]

[fossil mulch]

Ok, one quick here - maybe somebody else knows this / had this before - I'm using Tortoise ORM and getting this Error

discord.errors.ApplicationCommandInvokeError: Application Command raised an exception: ConfigurationError: default_connection for the model <class 'mako.db.models.Guild'> cannot be None

Anybody knows how to fix?

[zenith verge]

do I have to necessarily make subclasses of button to use callback

I keep getting parameter errors when I use default Button and do like button1.callback = someMethod

[cyan quail]

this should work, but the function only takes interaction as the parameter

e.g. py button = discord.ui.Button(...) async def c(interaction): button.disabled = True await interaction.response.edit_message(...) button.callback = c

[zenith verge]

Ah ok

I put self in the param I guess that was the problem

[thorny pasture]

Is there like a discord.has_role()?

So i only need to import discord.

Since thats basicly the only library i use in cogs.

[zenith verge]

user being Interaction.user

oh wait nvm

[thorny pasture]

Yes but i meant like when defining a slash command

[zenith verge]

So whether a server has a certain role

[thorny pasture]

Like discord.default_permissions() for permissions.

[thorny pasture]

No just if a user has a certain role with a certain id.

[zenith verge]

well then

this is correct

just put Interaction as a parm in the command

see https://github.com/Pycord-Development/pycord/blob/e44164180158f62fac99460bb3cf782d86ec23c7/examples/views/button_roles.py

[thorny pasture]

Alrighty

[thorny kindle]

Hi, Im still having problems with a command im trying to make, I cant figure out how i would make my bot send a message in a channel i select, Ive managed to get the bot to let you select a channel and the bot can identify that in a message, But idk how i would make it send the message in a different channel

# say command

@bot.slash_command(description='Say something')
@commands.has_guild_permissions(kick_members=True)
@option(
"Channel", 
Union[discord.TextChannel]
)
async def say(
    ctx: discord.ApplicationContext,
    channel: Union[discord.TextChannel],
    message
):
    await ctx.respond(f'{channel.mention} test')

So far this is my command. I also need help making the bot copy the message part of the command and repeating that in the selected channel

[cyan quail]

for 1 remove the Union[ ] part since it's not valid syntax anymore
that aside, use channel.send

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api/models.html#discord.TextChannel.send

[thorny kindle]

The union seems to be working fine for me right now. and where would i put the channel.send part? Just replace it for the ctx.send?

[cyan quail]

pretty much

note in slash commands you HAVE to have at least one ctx.respond

so you both need to respond to the command and then send to the channel

[thorny kindle]

So i could have it like

await ctx.respond(':+1:')
await channel.send('test')

something like that

[lost lodge]

Hello guys, how can I make a select option default, if a user has a specific role?

[cyan quail]

mhm

also note that you can make the respond ephemeral=True so only you can see it

[thorny kindle]

Ok.

[cyan quail]

check user.get_role(id) and if it exists, set default?

[lost lodge]

but how can i set it default? (In a subclassed view)

[thorny kindle]

Ok, So now 1/2 of the command works, How would i get the bot to send the message i say in the message part of the command?

[cyan quail]

pass the member object through to the subclass and perform the check inside __init__

or just do the check beforehand and pass the result through

[cyan quail]

well message is just a variable so...

[thorny kindle]

What would i use to make it into an actual message? Something like ```message=message.content

[lost lodge]

but how can i get it there?

[cyan quail]

no, your message option is a string so you don't have to do anything

[cyan quail]

add another argument to def __init__

[thorny kindle]

Oh ok, So i would just add it as f'{message}'

[cyan quail]

mhm

[cyan quail]

e.g. in the dropdown example, they add a bot argument so they can use it within the class
https://github.com/Pycord-Development/pycord/blob/master/examples/views/dropdown.py

[lost lodge]

like that:

    def __init__(self, guild):
        super().__init__(timeout=None)
        member = guild.members
        news_role = discord.utils.get(guild.roles, id=int(internal_config['news_role_id']))
        changelog_role = discord.utils.get(guild.roles, id=int(internal_config['changelog_role_id']))
        status_role = discord.utils.get(guild.roles, id=int(internal_config['status_role_id']))
        giveaway_role = discord.utils.get(guild.roles, id=int(internal_config['giveaway_role_id']))

    @discord.ui.select(
        custom_id="view_14",
        placeholder="Choose your notifications!",
        min_values=0,
        max_values=4,
        options=[
            discord.SelectOption(
                label="News",
                description="Get news about the server!",
                if news_role in member.roles:
                    default = True
            ),```

[cyan quail]

nearly

for 1, guild.members is a list of every member

instead, i recommend doing def __init__(self, member): to pass the member in, then you can do guild = member.guild

second, in decorators you can't access the original variables so you need a different approach

because that select menu is defined before __init__ runs, you can do some sneaky stuff inside __init__ like accessing self.function_name.options py def __init__(self, member): ... if news_role in member.roles: self.select_callback.options[0].default = True

if you need to do several of these checks, consider making it another function and then calling it inside __init__

[lost lodge]

does select_callback need to be the name of my callback?

[cyan quail]

well that's just whatever you called it

[lost lodge]

ok

but how can I get the member now?

here is my persistinent view, the guild getter needs to be there

self.bot.add_view(RoleView(self.bot.get_guild(int(config['guild_id']))))```

[cyan quail]

well, do you already know the member id?

[lost lodge]

it should be for every member on the guild

[cyan quail]

ah your idea here might not work then

[lost lodge]

ah

[cyan quail]

are you trying to use default so every member would see their existing roles on the selector?

[lost lodge]

yes

[cyan quail]

default is attached to the select so it's global to all clients

unless you create a new select every time, every member will see the same default

[lost lodge]

ah, but is there any way to pre select it for every member specific?

[cyan quail]

well not really

[lost lodge]

ok

[cyan quail]

if this is a single persistent view (e.g. a role selection channel) then they'll all see the same thing until they make their selection

and regardless, the selection will reset back to the default when they refresh

[blissful hazel]

Is there any other way to interact with databases than using cursor.execute?
It seems kind of annoying to me, is it possible to have like subclasses for tables?

[proud mason]

You might be looking for ORMs like Tortoise ORM

[blissful hazel]

Thank you so much!

[proud mason]

Np lol

Just so yk, they need a bit of basic learning before you can use them

Like a high walled garden

I am trying to add a emoji to the button label of the persistant role example of pycord

That´s my code

https://pastebin.com/khCtd3D5

That´s the error message.

I understandt that the role.name does not match as integer. but i don´t know how to change it

[errant crane]

https://pastebin.com/raw/khCtd3D5

[proud mason]

you need a role object. you can get the role object using guild.get_role

[still helm]

I did this with

for emoji_id, role_id in role_ids.items():
            role = ctx.guild.get_role(role_id)
            view.add_item(RoleButton(emoji_id, role))

[proud mason]

hmm

[silver moat]

should be role.name, no?

[still helm]

where?

label is there
label=f"{emoji} {role.name}",

[proud mason]

your role parameter is before emoji parameter

in the init

you passed them the other way round while creating the button

[silver moat]

also

*** @ Line 15 ***
-     def __init__(self, role: discord.Role, emoji=discord.Emoji):

[still helm]

one sec 🙂

i try it

[proud mason]

nice use of diff lol

[silver moat]

had to google the syntax

the role ID could be wrong

[still helm]

class RoleButton(discord.ui.Button):
    def __init__(self, role: discord.Role, emoji: discord.Emoji):
        """A button for one role. `custom_id` is needed for persistent views."""
        super().__init__(

            style=discord.ButtonStyle.primary,
            custom_id=str(role.id),
        )

yes

it is wrong, because its the emoji id 😕

[proud mason]

👀

[still helm]

i change my dict 🙂

looks very well

but there is one problem 🙂

first is the role, second is a emoji id or a emoji itself. So now there is the emoji or the id

looks funny 😄

[silver moat]

fetch/get the emoji too I suppose

[proud mason]

ig use bot.get_emoji

why not use the emoji parameter of the button?

it accepts an emoji string

[still helm]

good question 🙂

i´ll give it a try

[green hinge]

If I defined my bot this way, can I use a prefix command instead of a slash command?

bot = discord.Bot(
    intents=intents,
    debug_guilds=None,
    status = status,
    activity = activity
)```

[silver moat]

yeah just change to commands.Bot

and add the prefix aspect of it

[still helm]

with a bridge.Bot you can use both

[proud mason]

?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)

[proud mason]

bridge.bot is only useful if you want a single command to be both, app cmd and prefix cmd

[green hinge]

I want to use some commands as slashcommand and some as prefixcommand. But no command should be both.

[proud mason]

yea command.Bot is the one you want

[green hinge]

Okay thanks!

[mossy holly]

Hey guys just a quick question concerning best practices / performances:

When working with databases, is it recommended to do what I do in this method (i.e creating a connection each time the method is called and closing it at the end), or should I have only 1 connection opened when the bot boots up (but in this case idk where to "store" this connection object)

Thanks if someone takes the time to answer 😄

[silver moat]

you would use a context manager for open/closing

[mossy holly]

Context manager ?
The with ... as ... syntax ?

[silver moat]

yes

[mossy holly]

Ok thanks a lot ! So my approach is the good one then ? (i.e each time the method is called, I do it)

[mossy holly]

(and maybe stupid question: does context manager work with coroutines ?)

[silver moat]

async with?

[mossy holly]

async with await database.init_bd() as conn: Raises: RuntimeError: threads can only be started once (and without the await it's not happy either)

[silver moat]

pardon, I don't use sqlite or any sql lib.

[mossy holly]

and with await database.init_bd() as conn: raises: AttributeError: __enter__

[silver moat]

but shouldn't it just be

async with database.init_bd() as conn:
```?

[mossy holly]

No problem thanks for taking the time to answer, I think I know what's the problem:

It's because i use the open method in database.init_bd() (so it complains about starting twice)

[silver moat]

k

[calm plume]

hmmm command is not updated

@discord.commands.option(name = "skill", description="Pick a Skill You Are Good At", choices = list(roles.keys()))
@bot.command(name="skill_control", description="Add Or Remove Skill Based On If You Have It Or Not")
async def _skill_control(ctx: discord.ApplicationContext, skill: str):

roles is a dict

the problem is the argument skill doesn't display the options nor the description

[silver moat]

the option should follow the command decorator, not before it

[green hinge]

How can I access the extra button to add a function there?

    @commands.command(name="showspot", help="Zeigt alle Spots an")
    async def page(self, ctx):
        SPOTS_PER_PAGE = 6
        data = await dab.get_all_spots()
        pages = []
.
.
.
                embed.add_field(name=name, value=fish_text + spot_text, inline=False)
            pages.append(embed)

        # Erstelle den Paginator und füge den neuen Button hinzu
        paginator = Paginator(pages=pages, timeout=None)

        paginator.add_button(PaginatorButton("Spotdetails abrufen", style=discord.ButtonStyle.gray, row=1, custom_id="spotdetails"))

        await paginator.send(ctx)```

[full basin]

Subclass the button instead?...

[thorny kindle]

Where can i find a basic format for a embed? When i searched it on the pycord docs it went on about something instead of the embed.

[young bone]

embed = discord.Embed()?

[thorny kindle]

Nah, it went on about self.<thing>

It doesnt really have a format it seems.

[young bone]

did you send it with embed=embed?

[thorny kindle]

Ive not tried it yet lol. Im not sure how to make one yet, The docs are confusing me.

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/_modules/discord/embeds.html
im using this

[young bone]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api/data_classes.html#discord.Embed

[green hinge]

Can I call the class like this?
I always get the error "SpotDetails object has no attribute 'style'".

paginator.add_button(SpotDetails(self.bot))


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

    @discord.ui.button(label='Spotdetails abrufen', style=discord.ButtonStyle.gray, custom_id="spotdetails", row=1)
    async def spotdetails(self, button: discord.ui.Button, interaction: discord.Interaction):
        await interaction.response.send_message("Test")```

[full basin]

Subclass the button

Paginator.add_button takes a button

Kinda obvious it does

[green hinge]

I'm on the fence right now and don't know what solution you want to push me towards 😬

[full basin]

Subclass
The
Button

Not a view

[green hinge]

paginator.add_button(SpotDetails(self.bot))

class SpotDetails(discord.ui.Button):
    def __init__(self, bot):
        super().__init__(label="Spotdetails abrufen", style=discord.ButtonStyle.gray, custom_id="spotdetails", row=1)
        self.bot = bot

    async def callback(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):
        await interaction.response.send_message("Test")```

discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: AttributeError: 'SpotDetails' object has no attribute 'loop_label'

🤔 🙄

[sour tapir]

Hello, where do I get the code that is placed at the end of the codes, press Enter to close the tool

[full basin]

What

[full basin]

No idea

[grizzled sentinel]

You need to make a pagnater button. just a simple fix plus a few extra kwargs

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/ext/pages/index.html#discord.ext.pages.PaginatorButton

[grizzled sentinel]

Can you explain further? Show an image of what you want? Show what code you have currently?

[green hinge]

How do I do that with the button_type ?

Because it is an extra button and has nothing to do with the Navigarion of the Paginator?

[grizzled sentinel]

Ah I see, you issue is you are using add_button this only add pagnater buttons. Use the normal subclass of button with add_item

[green hinge]

Do you mean like this?

paginator.add_item(SpotDetails(self.bot))

class SpotDetails(discord.ui.Button):
    def __init__(self, bot):
        super().__init__(label="Spotdetails abrufen", style=discord.ButtonStyle.gray, custom_id="spotdetails", row=1)
        self.bot = bot

    async def callback(self, interaction):
        await interaction.response.send_message("Test")```

[grizzled sentinel]

I think so, thb I have never used paginator. But thats how it looks like it would be done by the docs

[green hinge]

So I don't get an error but the button is also not displayed -.-

Ah here is the solution ☝🏻

The IDE I am using PyCharm is looking for a discord module and not pycord

[finite flame]

@grizzled sentinel

[grizzled sentinel]

It has something to do with your overwrites. Can you send the code for that.

[grizzled sentinel]

Dont use auto install for py-cord. Install like shown below and resart pycharm

?tag install

[obtuse junco]

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

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

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

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

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

[fallen cove]

        }```

[ebon drift]

Thanks

[grizzled sentinel]

In the future please dont ping me. The code looks right. It would make more sense to respond to the modal instead of passing ctx and sending. But even then

v = DropdownView(self.bot)
await self.ctx.send(view=v)

This should only run after submit is clicked

[fallen cove]

there was a naming issue with one of the roles, but it doesnt make the channel in the cattegory provided

[grizzled sentinel]

If you have the category object just use https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/models.html#discord.CategoryChannel.create_text_channel

[fallen cove]

it is retuning none for the category

NFFC_category = discord.utils.get(guild.categories, name="NFFC")
print(NFFC_category)

guild = interaction.guild

[grizzled sentinel]

get only returns if it is in the cache. You will need to https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/models.html#discord.Guild.fetch_channels

[finite flame]

thanks for the help, although i had to use this :

  async def callback(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):
    await interaction.response.send_message('message')
    v = DropdownView(self.bot)
    await self.ctx.send(view=v)

[grizzled sentinel]

If you send the view instead of message it will work to

[fallen cove]

fixed, thanks for the help :)

[ebon drift]

How do I make it were my bot does not close it self after someone tried to use a command that does not exist

[grizzled sentinel]

That should be built into pycord. Can you show the code and error

[ebon drift]

Yes one sec

Do you want me to send all of my code

[grizzled sentinel]

sure. Put it in the past bin and make sure you dont show your token

?tag paste

[obtuse junco]

https://mystb.in

[ebon drift]

I made it in a .env so it should not show the code

This is the error
Ignoring exception in command None:
discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandNotFound: Command "gggg" is not found

[grizzled sentinel]

So that does not crash the bot. It just displys the error and keeps going. There is a way to handel it though.

One sec

[grizzled sentinel]

Can you show pip list

You would need to use on_error as the event and commands.CommandNotFound in the isinstance.

[ebon drift]

I will try that

[ebon drift]

I just tested the slash commands and it works but discord says "The application did not respond" after the command worked

[full basin]

Did you respond with ctx.respond

[ebon drift]

No

[full basin]

There's your issue

[ebon drift]

I will try that

[ebon drift]

I tried that but it's giving me errors

[limber urchin]

The error literally tells you what's wrong

[ebon drift]

It's telling me of an empty message but I am sending a normal message then using await ctx.respond() to stop the application did not respawn error

[limber urchin]

That is not how it works

You use ctx.respond instead of ctx.send when working with application commands

It's not just a magic function that stops errors from happening

[ebon drift]

Ok I will try to fix the code

[dusk burrow]

is there anyway currently to check if a reaction is a super reaction

[limber urchin]

No

[limber urchin]

That means your bot is trying to register commands in a guild it's not in

[frank lava]

but the guild id in my config file is correct...

[limber urchin]

And how are you using that id?

[frank lava]

hol' up, wait a minute...

I literally just re-copied the ID into my file.

it turns out i messed up the guild id. might have accidentally backspaced a digit or something.

i placed it after the bot.command

and now the choices don't show

this is tranformed into a list of strings btw list(roles.keys())

how do I add callbacks to buttons added by add_item?

[full basin]

Subclass the button instead and then pass the instance to add_item

[green hinge]

I have a button. When I press it, the view with the select menu is created. Now when I select something there, I want to add the message to the existing view and have it under the select menu. But the selection in the select menu should also still be displayed.
How do I do this correctly?

I get this error TypeError: object BanIterator can't be used in 'await' expression'.

member being a discord.Member.

[blissful hazel]

Try removing the await before ctx.guild.bans()

bans = ctx.guild.bans()

[young bone]

you have to use await for that

[thorny kindle]

How would i be able to keep this as 8ball? When i have it like this it doesnt let the bot start,

Ive tried adding "" to it but that didnt work too.

[green hinge]

I want to add another select menu to the view but I want to keep the previous selection in the first select menu.
Can I do this somehow or can I just work with 2 different views without editing the message?

async def callback(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):
        view = GewaesserView(self.bot, self.messageid)
        view.add_item(SpotAuswahl(self.bot))      
        await self.messageid[0]['gewaesser'].edit_original_response(view=view)```

[thorny pasture]

It doesnt return anything. It crashes on that line "bans = await ctx.guild.bans()"

With this error: Application Command raised an exception: TypeError: object BanIterator can't be used in 'await' expression'

[young bone]

_8ball and add (name="8ball")

[thorny kindle]

Ok.

[young bone]

did you click at the link?

[grizzled sentinel]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api/ui_kit.html#discord.ui.Select.values
I think if you set the values of the select menu it should stay. I'm surprised it does not do this by default

[green hinge]

If I have sent an interaction.response it is only active for 15 minutes.
I send a message as an ephemeral message.
Can I still delete the message after the 15 minutes if I have saved the interaction or is that no longer possible?

[grizzled sentinel]

Empherial messages cannot be deleted after 15 min. Sometimes they cannot be deleted sooner than that.

Ex: if the user clears the message manually or refreshes their client

[green hinge]

Yes the selection is displayed. But when I made a selection, I want to add another select menu to the view and this is how I solved it now:

async def callback(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):
        view = GewaesserView(self.bot, self.messageid)
        view.add_item(SpotAuswahl(self.bot))      
        await self.messageid[0]['gewaesser'].edit_original_response(view=view)```
And so yes the message is edited and resent and so the selection in the first select menu is no longer active.

[thorny pasture]

No i did not. It seems i missed the link. But that fixed the problem i had. Thank you 🙂

[green hinge]

Okay then I would have to include a query that automatically deletes these messages after 15 minutes if they are still there.

[grizzled sentinel]

Yeah it should be simple with a try/except

[green hinge]

Oh yes right, good idea thanks 🙂

[green hinge]

Can I somehow solve this better with the two select menu?

[grizzled sentinel]

I think it would just be self.add_item(select) than edit the original response

[green hinge]

What do you mean exactly?

class Gewaesser(discord.ui.Select):   
    def __init__(self, bot: discord.Bot, messageid):
        self.bot = bot
        self.messageid = messageid
        options = [discord.SelectOption(label=water) for water in bot.waters]
        super().__init__(
            placeholder="Wähle das Gewässer aus",
            min_values=1,
            max_values=1,
            options=options,
        )
    
    async def callback(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):
        view = GewaesserView(self.bot, self.messageid)
        view.add_item(SpotAuswahl(self.bot)))      
        await self.messageid[0]['gewaesser'].edit_original_response(view=view)```

[grizzled sentinel]

If you edit the original view instead of creating a new one. You can get the view in the select callback by using self.view

[proud mason]

You can remove the existing select menu and add the next one?

[grizzled sentinel]

They want the old one to stay

[green hinge]

I want to keep the old select menu with the selected choice and then just add a new select menu under there.

So the second select menu is added but the selection from the first select menu is also gone...

class Gewaesser(discord.ui.Select):   
    def __init__(self, bot: discord.Bot, messageid):
        self.bot = bot
        self.messageid = messageid
        options = [discord.SelectOption(label=water) for water in bot.waters]
        super().__init__(
            placeholder="Wähle das Gewässer aus",
            min_values=1,
            max_values=1,
            options=options,
        )
    
    async def callback(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):
        self.view.add_item(SpotAuswahl(self.bot))     
        await self.messageid[1]['gewaesser'].edit_original_response(view=self.view)```

[proud mason]

oh

[green hinge]

I have now solved it differently 🙂

Is this list self.massageid created separately for each user who clicks on the button?

class SpotDetails(discord.ui.Button):
    def __init__(self, bot):
        super().__init__(label="Spotdetails abrufen", style=discord.ButtonStyle.gray, custom_id="spotdetails", row=1)
        self.bot = bot
        self.messageid = []

    async def callback(self, interaction):
       self.messageid.append({'buttoncheck': 'False'})
       self.messageid.append({'buttoninteraction': message_interaction})```

[proud mason]

it will be created separately for each time SpotDetails button is created

[green hinge]

And if 2 users click the button within a very short time?
Does the function then still work or do the lists then overwrite each other?

[green hinge]

I have now changed it so, then a separate list should be created for each user who presses the button, or am I seeing it wrong?

class SpotDetails(discord.ui.Button):
    def __init__(self, bot):
        super().__init__(label="Spotdetails abrufen", style=discord.ButtonStyle.gray, custom_id="spotdetails", row=1)
        self.bot = bot

    async def callback(self, interaction):
       message_details = []
       message_details.append({'buttoncheck': 'False'})
       message_details.append({'buttoninteraction': message_interaction})```

[proud mason]

nope wont overwrite

thats some basic OOP

[proud mason]

yea there isnt any issue with the previous way

it depends on your UI flow

[green hinge]

Is it better to create the list in the init or in the callback?

[proud mason]

^

when do you create SpotDetails ?

do you create the button inside a command?

[proud mason]

if you do, do you want the states to persist if a user uses the command multiple times, or not?

[green hinge]

I press a button and then SpotDetails is created with a view. There are 3 buttons in here. When I click a button there, a new view is created.
Here a select menu is created, after I have selected something in the select menu, the view is edited, the select menu is replaced by a new one. After selection in the 2 select menu the views are deleted.

[green hinge]

No it should not be persist but always only when the button is pressed for 1x

[proud mason]

ah

[proud mason]

so this whole structure should only be contained inside 1 button press and not conflict with others right

then yes, init is a good way

[green hinge]

Exactly. But the button can also be pressed by different users at the same time.

[proud mason]

yes but since you are creating a fresh view for every time the button is pressed, a new list is created every time

[green hinge]

Ok nice 🙂

Do I have to delete the list at the end or will it be deleted automatically?

[proud mason]

i believe it should be deleted automatically by python garbage collection, once the view is deleted

[green hinge]

Okay I'll give it a try otherwise I can just set a command at the end that deletes the list

[green hinge]

When I edit a respons, does it count new 15 minutes or does the previous time remain?

[worldly schooner]

I'm executing this in the main.py file, so what I should put in the self argument?

do I need to create a class to actually run it fine?

nvm I think I will just do a normal print on that, I think this is_ready works better when dealing with cogs

[proud mason]

Events don't work like that

.guide

[winter condor]

https://guide.pycord.dev

[proud mason]

See the creating your first bot part

That does you how to listen to events

[worldly schooner]

oof, its been a while since my last touch on my bot, now when I came back I forgot almost everything

I thought it worked as well as the cog.listener function

so I searched thru is_ready similar functions in the docs

thanks!

[green hinge]

There is no possibility to extend the interaction.respons time or?

[silver moat]

defer

?tag defer

[obtuse junco]

No tag defer found.

[green hinge]

I mean those 15 minutes after which the respons is no longer available.

[silver moat]

nope

[green hinge]

Okay too bad then I still do not know how to implement my idea 😄

[green hinge]

ephemeral messages are only possible in a response or?

[silver moat]

yeah they are only possible in a response to an interaction

[silver moat]

what?

[green hinge]

Okay because I actually need a message that only the user can see but can be edited and deleted etc. for longer than 15 minutes.

[silver moat]

you can to respond it, but you can edit it later

[green hinge]

But if there is a button in the respons, for example, it will only work for 15 minutes right?

[silver moat]

if you put like 3600, then the button would time out in an hour.

[worldly schooner]

I was talking about how I came with the idea of using the @commands.bot.is_ready function

but he solved my problem guiding me to the page that show the "creating your first bot" basics

[green hinge]

That means I can send an ephemeral message as respons to a user and this message contains a button that has a timeout=None, then the button still works after the 15 minutes and I can delete the message even after the 15 minutes?

[calm plume]

how much a message object can be kept?

like lets hypothetically say i have some sort of way to keep a pycord message object

which i could use for editing, deletion.... yadi yadi yadi

the question lies in on how long i can keep it without having to fetch a new one

[full basin]

As long as the bot doesn't restart

fetch_message then stores the message in the cache.

As long as the bot doesn't restart and clear the cache, you're all good

[proud mason]

As long as you maintain a strong reference to it (dict, list, some variable etc) you can use it

[proud mason]

If you just want to edit delete etc, it might be safer to use partial objects

.partial

[winter condor]

Partial Objects

These can be used to make API calls when you have channel id and/or message id, and you don't want to rely on the cache to have their objects.

Methods which can be used on them are -

• Partial Messageable (analogus to a Channel) : https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/models.html#discord.PartialMessageable
• Partial Message (analogous to a Message): https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/data_classes.html#discord.PartialMessage

Example Usage:

async def star_message(channel_id: int, message_id: int):

    # Get Partial Messageable object. Docs-
    # https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.get_partial_messageable
    partial_channel = bot.get_partial_messageable(channel_id)

    # Get Partial Message. Docs-
    # https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/models.html#discord.PartialMessageable.get_partial_message
    partial_message = partial_channel.get_partial_message(message_id)

    # Add a reaction
    await partial_message.add_reaction(":star:")

[calm plume]

are they faster and have 0 rate limits?

[young bone]

what?

[calm plume]

like what kind of benifit do they give me i don't understand

[proud mason]

They don't behave any differently than normal message or channel objects regarding that. The only difference is how they are created and stored in python. They are created using only ids. If you only need to perform api functions on the messages or channels without needing any attributes, then you can store these instead of the actual objects as this will consume lesser memory

[calm plume]

so just a decrease in memory?

with the cost of no attributes

[proud mason]

It is also the only way to not rely on cache for api calls

Really useful if you store channel or message ids in a db

[calm plume]

so wait IDs change?

[proud mason]

No?

That's not what I meant

[calm plume]

oh ok

if only there was a reliable way to store messages that last forever without having to make a bunch of requests to the API

[proud mason]

Assume you have a channel id in your db and you want to send a message in it. Normally what you would do is bot.get_channel followed by channel.send
This however relies on the bots cache. And it is possible especially on larger bots that the cache doesn't have the channel object.

You could do bot.fetch_channel.
But for simply sending a message, you only really need a channel id, and not all the other stuff fetch_channel gives you.

Here enters partial channel. You can create it using only an id. This saves you the api call of fetch_message. You can directly send a message using this. And since api calls are not quick at all, this can save you a lot of time

Wow that's a big writeup 💀

[proud mason]

If you need the attributes and stuff, just store the message object somewhere on the bot? Like a dict botvar?

[calm plume]

ok

thanks i understood

[green hinge]

I have created a button in my ephemeral message with a view and added a timeout=None to it. After 15 minutes I tried to press this button but it does not work...
What am I doing wrong that the button still works after the 15 minutes?

class GewaesserView(discord.ui.View):   
    def __init__(self, bot: discord.Bot, message_details):
        self.bot = bot
        self.message_details = message_details
        super().__init__(Gewaesser(self.bot, message_details), timeout=None)```

[calm plume]

probably the bot might get rebooted

like restarted, try to make a on_ready event with a print to print when the bot goes online

then do the command with the button... etc

then wait 15 minutes, if there are 2 messages without u rebooting

[worldly schooner]

how do I change the activity of the bot?

[calm plume]

i think

[calm plume]

thats how u do it bot.change_presence

[green hinge]

No no the bot is online all the time

[worldly schooner]

thanks

[calm plume]

np

[calm plume]

i say if the bot gets restarted

like it may seem online all the time but is there a sudden close for small time and then goes online back

[green hinge]

No for the 15 minutes a respons is active everything works but after the 15 minutes it doesn't work anymore. And earlier someone said if I set the timeout higher then it should still work after the 15 minutes.

[calm plume]

so probably there is a discord limit

[green hinge]

Yes respons are only active for 15 minutes at a time.

[calm plume]

is the message one or multiple with the buttons

[green hinge]

It is an ephemeral message that contains a button. And ephemeral messages can only be sent as respons.
And I want to maintain the function of the button after the 15 minutes of the response time are up.

[wintry cosmos]

How customizable are linked roles? Does anyone have created their own requirements yet?

[finite flame]

can i get some examples of working with embeds

[mossy holly]

Hey guys I have a quick question:

Is it possible to have a mix of Cog and SlashCommandGroup ?

I was using SlashCommandGroup but I want to switch to Cogs and keep the grouping (or prefixing idk how to call it) feature, is it possible ? If yes how ?

And also what's the point of the description on the SlashCommandGroup constructor because it doesn't seem to be shown anywhere

Thanks a lot 😄

[proud mason]

things that dont work after 15 mins are- anything related to interaction.response and interaction.followup

you can still use interaction.message though. you can also save interaction.response.original_response before hand on some variable, so you can edit delete, etc later

[proud mason]

you can also pass activity to the bot constructor and save yourself an api call

[proud mason]

see this https://guide.pycord.dev/getting-started/more-features#embeds

[proud mason]

are you trying to say about slash groups in cogs?

yes thats possible

[errant crane]

Here's the slash cog groups example.

[proud mason]

like this

[mossy holly]

Yes i think (for example achieve this with cogs https://guide.pycord.dev/interactions/application-commands/slash-commands#subcommand-groups)

[mossy holly]

thanks a lot I'll look into it 😄

Oh ok that's the same lmao, but I don't understand how would I use this alongside Cog ?

In here for example:

Gives this (without the prefix or group before the name of the command)

I have this on my bot subclass (you can see the old version which was using the 2nd part of what you sent)

[green hinge]

Then how can I make it work in an ephemeral one button after the 15 minutes?

[worldly schooner]

nvm found out

[worldly schooner]

thx tho

[reef ore]

hey, i'm having a hard time trying to catch a time out via on_member_update event (intents.members set), any hint on where to look for?

[mossy holly]

Ok I think I fixed it

[full basin]

Error? Code? What's not working?

[reef ore]

just not receiving an event when timeouting a user

[worldly schooner]

I guess I'm not doing it right

[reef ore]

@commands.Cog.listener()
async def on_member_update(self, before: discord.Member, after: discord.Member):
# check if time out
LOG.info("member update received!")

[reef ore]

@commands.Cog.listener()
async def on_member_update(self, before: discord.Member, after: discord.Member):
# check if time out
LOG.info("member update received!")

[full basin]

Show where you defined the intents

Are any other listeners not triggering

[reef ore]

everything is triggering

and this one too, just not on timeout

[proud mason]

Well you didn't create a Slash command group

[full basin]

Thonk

[proud mason]

Pretty sure that's a discord limitation

[mossy holly]

I was confusing stuff sorry I'm tired ^^ I do it like that now

[proud mason]

Pass it to the constructor like so
bot = commands.Bot(..., activity=Activity(...))

[proud mason]

Uhh

Wot..

[green hinge]

Okay so I have no option. Then I would have to delete the respons and send it again so that new 15 minutes expire right?

Do you happen to know how I can put a Paginator in a subclass? I can't find any example or tutorial how to do that.

[proud mason]

💀

[proud mason]

Oh wait are you trying to have an app cmd in an extension without having it in a cog?

Is that what you are trying?

[proud mason]

You could send it without ephemeral or in dm ig

Paginator in a subclass?

Subclass of what?

View?

[reef ore]

any ideas?

[worldly schooner]

tysm

[green hinge]

Yes, exactly. I want to send a view that contains a paginator.

[mossy holly]

No i'm using an extension because that was shown in the Cog part of the documentation

I have a bunch of related commands that I wanted to group, so I used a cog
But it doesn't group them like SlashCommandGroup (i.e with the Cog the actual command is /<cmd name>, whereas with SlashCommandsGroup it's /<grp name> <cmd name>

[proud mason]

Does the bot have mod perms?

[proud mason]

Yea i showed you how to add groups inside cogs

[errant crane]

Here's the slash cog groups example.

[proud mason]

See that

[reef ore]

does it need to have to catch events?

[proud mason]

Paginator is a view subclass already. Do you want to send the paginator as a response to an interaction from a view?

[graceful mason]

Are there any examples how a subclassed callback would look?

[proud mason]

Not sure but as a normal user, you need mod perms to see if a member is timeout. So i figured it could be similar for bots

[graceful mason]

(I don't know how to start)

[errant crane]

Here's the button roles example.

[green hinge]

I want to call a view in the callback function after selecting something in the select menu, which sends a paginator with corresponding content, depending on the selection in the select menu.

[proud mason]

@graceful mason does something similar. Check it out

[mossy holly]

I saw but I do I use it inside a cog then ?
Let's say I have

class MyCog(discord.ext.commands.Cog):
  def __init__(self, bot):
    # init

  @discord.slash_commands(params...)
  async def foo(self, ctx):
    # do stuff

How do I add the slashcommandgroup with it ?

[graceful mason]

Thanks

Oh, I see now

[proud mason]

Like this iirc

class MyCog(Cog):
    # init

    my_group = SlashCommandGroup(...)

    @my_group.command()
    async def foo(...):
        ...

The example tells you how to do it

Did you read it?

[proud mason]

So you want to send a view or the paginator after selecting something in the menu?

[mossy holly]

I did try this but it doesn't work (my_group is not defined), if I put it above as a global variable maybe, I'll try

[green hinge]

The Paginator

[proud mason]

Is it like this
select menu -> paginator
Or
select menu -> view (has a button -> paginator)

[proud mason]

Ah so just use paginator.respond ?

[proud mason]

You define the group inside the cog. It should work. How did you try?

[green hinge]

I created my Paginator like this. But I don't know exactly how to call it in the callback of the select menu.

    async def page(self, ctx):
        SPOTS_PER_PAGE = 6
        data = await dab.get_all_spots()
        pages = []

        # Erstelle für jedes sechste Element eine neue Seite
        for i in range(0, len(data), SPOTS_PER_PAGE):
            page_data = data[i:i+SPOTS_PER_PAGE]
            embed = discord.Embed(title="Spotübersicht")
            for entry in page_data:
                name, fish, spot = entry
                if fish is None and spot is None:
                    fish_text = "Keine Einträge vorhanden"
                    spot_text = ""
                else:
                    fish_list = []
                    spot_list = []
                    fish_text = ""
                    spot_text = ""
                    if fish:
                        fish_list = fish.split(",")
                    if spot:
                        spot_list = spot.split(",")
                    if len(fish_list) == len(spot_list):
                        for i in range(len(fish_list)):
                            fish_text += f"{fish_list[i]} - Spot: {spot_list[i]}\n"
                    else:
                        fish_text = fish
                        spot_text = f" - Spot: {spot}"
                embed.add_field(name=name, value=fish_text + spot_text, inline=False)
            pages.append(embed)

        # Erstelle den Paginator und füge den neuen Button hinzu
        view = discord.ui.View(SpotDetails(self.bot))
        paginator = Paginator(pages=pages, timeout=None, custom_view=view)


        await paginator.send(ctx)```

[mossy holly]

'ArgoBot' object has no attribute 'expandtabs' (ArgoBot is just a subclass of the bot)

did it like this

[worldly schooner]

Is there some type of Member/Server builder? Like I want to get the icon of a server that my bot is not in, how do I "build" the server as an object and get its properties

build with the ID

I think I've made this before with member

[proud mason]

change ctx to smth like ctx_or_interaction in your parameters

Then at the end, check if that is instance of context or isinstance of interaction
If context then use paginator.send
Else paginator.respond

[worldly schooner]

but what I really want is with guild

[proud mason]

Full error?

[proud mason]

And how did you load the cog?

[green hinge]

Can I also send the Paginator to a specific channel using a Channel ID?

[proud mason]

Hmm not sure

And is that the name of your cog

[mossy holly]

omg

lmao thanks

[proud mason]

Np lol

[proud mason]

I don't think you can get properties of a guild your bot is not in

[mossy holly]

thanks a lot it works (can't believe i'm so stupid lmao)

[proud mason]

There isn't a member/guild builder because these are objects provided by data from discord and not to be built by the user

Try if bot.fetch_guild works

[proud mason]

Yes you can send to a different channel. Get the channel from bot.get_channel and pass it. Or pass a partial channel

.partial

[winter condor]

Partial Objects

These can be used to make API calls when you have channel id and/or message id, and you don't want to rely on the cache to have their objects.

Methods which can be used on them are -

• Partial Messageable (analogus to a Channel) : https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/models.html#discord.PartialMessageable
• Partial Message (analogous to a Message): https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/data_classes.html#discord.PartialMessage

Example Usage:

async def star_message(channel_id: int, message_id: int):

    # Get Partial Messageable object. Docs-
    # https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.get_partial_messageable
    partial_channel = bot.get_partial_messageable(channel_id)

    # Get Partial Message. Docs-
    # https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/models.html#discord.PartialMessageable.get_partial_message
    partial_message = partial_channel.get_partial_message(message_id)

    # Add a reaction
    await partial_message.add_reaction(":star:")

[worldly schooner]

the member "build" I was talking about was actually Guild.get_member 😅

[median ridge]

How do I add a role to a member object by using the role id?

[green hinge]

paginator.respond
How can I include the channel ID here then?

[green hinge]

Like this?
await channel.respond(paginator)
