thanks

[ebon drift]

How do I fix the problem with the categories not showing up

[silver moat]

commands don't have a category attribute

[ebon drift]

Oh

[ebon drift]

How do I make categories then

[silver moat]

cogs

each category should be a cog

[ebon drift]

Ok

[smoky forge]

How can i do a manual webhook post request?

My code:

payload = {
            "content" : msg.content,
            "username" : author.name,
            "avatar_url" : author.display_avatar.url,
            "embeds" : [e_json],
            "attachments" : a_json,
            "thread_name" : f"Art by @{author.name}"
        }
        async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session:
            async with session.post(HOOK_LINK, json=payload) as r:
                print(r.status)
                print(await r.text())

r.status returns 400 and await r.text() returns this

{"attachments": ["0"], "embeds": ["0"]}

[silver moat]

why not just use the native way?

[smoky forge]

because there's a current bug where posting files when creating a thread doesn't work

because of a library issue

the thing i want to figure out is how to send embeds and attachments created from the library through the post request

tried using the .to_dict() method but it doesn't seem to work

[ebon drift]

How do I fix this because I only see 2 argument
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "D:\Code\Python\RealDia\main.py", line 64, in <module>
class Debug(discord.cog):
TypeError: module() takes at most 2 arguments (3 given)

[limber urchin]

It's discord.Cog

[ebon drift]

Oh ok

[limber urchin]

400 means most likely something is wrong with your payload

[smoky forge]

Yep, and i know it's got to do with attachments and embeds

[limber urchin]

Does the attachment attribute take a json?

[smoky forge]

it takes an array of attachment objects

i'll add a bit more of the code

e_json = embed.to_dict()
a_json = [a.to_dict() for a in msg.attachments]

I tried doing this to turn discord.Embed and the attachments into a dict

[limber urchin]

Why are you doing @bot.command inside of a cog?

[ebon drift]

For categories in the help command

[limber urchin]

That is not how you use cogs at all

[errant crane]

Here's the slash cog example.

[smoky forge]

Ignoring exception in command Force Starboard:
Traceback (most recent call last):

    payload["thread_name"] = thread_name
TypeError: 'NoneType' object does not support item assignment

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

    raise ApplicationCommandInvokeError(exc) from exc
discord.errors.ApplicationCommandInvokeError: Application Command raised an exception: TypeError: 'NoneType' object does not support item assignment

seems to be an issue with pycord since in payload["thread_name"] = thread_name, payload is None

may or may not have relation to this issue https://github.com/Pycord-Development/pycord/issues/1949

[smoky forge]

Commented about it on the current open issue, hope it gives off a hint https://github.com/Pycord-Development/pycord/issues/1949#issuecomment-1453888964 ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[gleaming falcon]

In your opinion, is it better to set optional arguments/properties as 'or' or 'equals'?

name: str | None
name: str = None

Both seem to functionally do the same (on the surface), but curious which way is more 'pythonic'

[limber urchin]

Well the first one is type hinting, not a default value

[proud mason]

neither imo. name: str | None = None seems to follow pep 484 (type hinting) better

[limber urchin]

If you do def foo(x: str | None) you still need to pass a value to x

[gleaming falcon]

Okay, I could be getting spoiled by pydantic
(str | None = None is ugly; how could that be the recommended style)

[limber urchin]

that's just type hinting x to str or None. It does not set any value to x

[gleaming falcon]

Right. So in that case, x: str = None be valid, then?

[proud mason]

well that is the one which makes the most sense. None is not str. typehinting as only str would be wrong because it can be None when default

[limber urchin]

Well the thing is, you said

Both seem to functionally do the same (on the surface), but curious which way is more 'pythonic'

Which is wrong, because they are two completely different things

One is type hinting, the other is setting a default value

[gleaming falcon]

True, depending on the context. I was working in pydantic where they do both work similarly, but can see how it would be different in a def

[proud mason]

the result is the same for both when dealing with slash command options. but as you said, different when speaking normally

[gleaming falcon]

It's not, but there's something to be said for brevity and implication; it may be "wrong" in a rigid sense, but would be obvious and unambiguous to anyone reviewing.

str | None = None seems awfully redundant.

Anyway, the answer to my initial question seems to be "it depends" 😅

[proud mason]

ye

[proud mason]

typecheckers will complain

mypy would probably too

[gleaming falcon]

pycharm hasn't, but yeah I don't run it through black or mypy, etc.

Any way to EDIT a message's file attachment rather than add a new one without having to edit the message twice and utilize file = []?

[proud mason]

pass attachments kwarg instead of files

[alpine kernel]

Didnt get an answer a few days go gonna try again:

Is there any way to hide commands from users on the backend side? (eg if the command doesnt pass checks) I know you can hide via server settings

[alpine kernel]

also a couple more questions that I could figure out by spinning up a testing bot but would be helpful for a quick response here:

1. Does remove_cog() and add_cog() on the same cog pick up changes in code? or will it keep the same code as when the bot started?

2. What happens if two different bots register the same slash command name?

[limber urchin]

You can't hide commands like that, no.

[alpine kernel]

thought that might be the case, thanks

[limber urchin]

1. Just use https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/clients.html#discord.Bot.reload_extension
2. Nothing? What do you mean by that?

[young bone]

is it still broken?

[limber urchin]

Is what broken?

[alpine kernel]

like if i have two bots on a server that both have a /time command, will it just allow a user to select which bot you want to use the /time command on?

[limber urchin]

Yes, that is how slash commands have always worked.

You can literally see it by typing /help in here

[alpine kernel]

ok thanks, sorry never encountered it before

thanks for the help

[wicked helm]

o7 -

I am using self.load_extension("src.cogs", recursive=True) in order to load the cogs on my bot.

However. It is only loading 1/3 of the cogs that I have. I'm struggling to figure out why.

[silk spindle]

is it possible to receive an event when an interaction button is clicked?

[young bone]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api/events.html#discord.on_interaction

only this one I know

[novel jay]

do self.load_extensions("src.cogs")

[wicked helm]

It still only loaded one :/

[novel jay]

well your cogs probably have errors in them

[wicked helm]

I think there might be an issue with the cogs?

Damn.. I have no idea what it is. As the init is the same for the cogs..

And logging for errors does not give anything

[novel jay]

try adding ```py
@commands.Cog.listener()
async def on_ready(self):
print ("Ready! Cog X")

[wicked helm]

Is this in the cogs?

[novel jay]

yes

[wicked helm]

Cool, will give it a go

[grizzled sentinel]

Try load_extensions

[wicked helm]

Hmmmm... I can see how the would be different.. I will try

[young bone]

add the self

[novel jay]

oh right

[young bone]

x3

[novel jay]

my brain

[grizzled sentinel]

Did it work?

[wicked helm]

No x)

It's an error with the cogs I think

[wicked helm]

@grizzled sentinel @novel jay

I've made all of the cogs identical. If needed I can add my code somewhere else if it is not a good idea to do so here..

They all contain:

"""
General Slash Cogs
"""
import logging

from discord.ext import commands

logger = logging.getLogger()
logger.setLevel("INFO")


class SlashGeneral(commands.Cog):
    """
    General Slash Commands
    """

    def __init__(self, bot):
        self.bot: commands.Bot = bot
        logger.info("Init General Slash Command Cog")

    @commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_ready(self):
        logger.info("General Cogs: READY")

def setup(bot):
    """
    Add cog to bot
    """
    bot.add_cog(SlashGeneral(bot))

And only this one is being loaded? It's very odd.. this is how I am doing init in the bot class..

    def __init__(self, debug_guilds):
        super().__init__(self, debug_guilds=debug_guilds)
        self.load_extensions("src.cogs", recursive=True)
        logger.info("Cogs added")

[novel jay]

you should load extensions in your main.py file

[wicked helm]

Hmm, I am just a little confused because it worked fine before. But stopped.. possibly something to do with the new pycord version.. I am now loading them in main.. but.. same issue

I am very confused

[young bone]

which py-cord version?

[wicked helm]

2.3.2

I will put it this way. It was working on Feb 7th

[young bone]

update to 2.4.0

[wicked helm]

That worked

[grizzled sentinel]

If using slash commands you should not use discord.ext.commands
Use discord.Cog and discord.Bot instead.

[silver moat]

only using slash commands

[wicked helm]

I am only using them yes..

[full basin]

What

You can't add params

Unless you literally edit py-cord's code and don't break anything

Why do you want a channel parameter?

Do you realize you adding 3 lines to your event listener is the same thing than adding the 3 same lines to the event dispatcher right

[grizzled sentinel]

This is not possible becouse of a discord limitation.

[icy tulip]

can you do something like prefix command arg command ?

[limber urchin]

what

[proud mason]

They want a slightly modified group commands setup

Where args are accepted before the subcommand

[limber urchin]

Well since they're using prefix commands that shouldn't be too hard

just validate and parse each argument

[gleaming falcon]

Dammit; having brain-damage on interactions again.
I press a button, which does a thing and then edits the interaction message using interaction.response.edit_message. Normally this works fine, but the button is now taking juuuust over the 3-second response time.

I tried using interaction.response.defer(), but now it won't let me edit, saying it was already responded to.

Is there a way of overcoming this?

[ornate current]

Hey my button says interaction failed and i dont want to send any response to it, how can i make it not say interaction failed?

[proud mason]

defer it and dont send a followup

[proud mason]

use interaction.edit_original_response to edit

if that doesnt work use interaction.message.edit

[fervent cradle]

Is it necessary to enable intents on all cog files when it is already enabled in the main file?

[limber urchin]

What? How would you even enable intents in a cog?

[fervent cradle]

sorry i mean the in the cog file using bot = discord.Bot(intents=discord.Intents.name()), not in the class

[limber urchin]

Why would you do bot = discord.Bot(intents=discord.Intents.name()) in a cog file?

You don't define a bot instance in your cog files

[fervent cradle]

what about a non-cog file which only includes a command function instead of cog?

[limber urchin]

Huh?

[fervent cradle]

?

[limber urchin]

What do you mean a non-cog file? You can't have commands in separate files without using cogs

that's not how it works

You either have them in your main file or in cogs

[fervent cradle]

okay, anyways how can I check if the channel where the command was run is a forum thread or not?

[leaden relic]

how does create_group work in 2.4?

[proud mason]

main file or cogs?

[leaden relic]

cogs

[errant crane]

Here's the slash cog groups example.

[proud mason]

like that

[leaden relic]

ohhh thanks let me try it

[leaden relic]

it worked thanks a lot

[leaden relic]

discord.ui.Views in cogs not persisting

#Cog
class CogSample(commands.Cog):
    @commands.Cog.listener()
        async def on_ready(self):
            print(f"{__name__} Loaded")
            bot.add_view(MyView())

    @buy.command(name="setup")
        async def setup(self, ctx: discord.ApplicationContext):
            embed = discord.Embed(title="", description="",color=discord.Color.blue())
            await ctx.send(embed=embed, view=MyView())
            await ctx.respond("Created",ephemeral=True, delete_after=0.1)
#View
class MyView(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__(timeout=None) # timeout of the view must be set to None

i have something like this set up

[errant crane]

Here's the persistent example.

[proud mason]

@leaden relic see that

[errant crane]

Here's the tic tac toe example.

[proud mason]

look a few lines above and below

check if you see any mistakes

if not, send the code here

also which python version are you using?

python version. not py-cord version

cool

[leaden relic]

i did though i was looking for a way to do it inside a cog, i somehow made it by calling the view in the main file's on ready

would be better if persistence could be done iside the cog's on ready

[proud mason]

why not do it in the init?

on_ready is not safe as it can fire multiple times

do all the items have custom id set?

[leaden relic]

discord.Bot has init ?

[limber urchin]

Every class has an init function

[leaden relic]

yeah it works on bot.event on_ready but not inside the cog file

[proud mason]

I meant the cog class

Not bot class

[stark walrus]

@bot.event
async def on_interaction(interaction):
if interaction.custom_id == "register":

How to filter the interaction from the Button's label text

without it having a custom id

[grizzled sentinel]

You could check in interaction.data but discord might not send the label. What are you trying to do because I think there might be a better way.

[stark walrus]

Basically make it respond with an error message saying "This interaction expired" for buttons which people press after months

[grizzled sentinel]

Ok 👍: that is a valid reason to use on_interaction (most people use it wrong)

[stark walrus]

Oh

Hmmh

[grizzled sentinel]

The docs dont show what the raw data given in interaction.data is can you post the output of printing that here

[stark walrus]

<MessageInteractionData custom_id='44edf50c18a781e943424a8ef7de4a80' component_type=<ComponentType.button: 2> values=None>

Yeah

interaction.data prints this

[grizzled sentinel]

Yeah, I dont think you can get the name of the button unless you load the view (Would not be worth it in your case.) You could disable all the buttons in expired interactions instead.

[stark walrus]

Ah

[grizzled sentinel]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/ui_kit.html#discord.ui.View.disable_on_timeout

[stark walrus]

Ig instead of that now i'll assign a custom id for each interaction in the future

custom_id will definitely help right

for future, idc about the past button clicks then

[grizzled sentinel]

The custom ID is just a "username" for the button. I dont think it would further your progress. 2 buttons generally should not have the same ID. I have been meaning to play around with buttons with the same ID for things simple like delete message but Im not sure how it will act.

[stark walrus]

Oh actually it does work out for me

I need it in such a way to detect separate buttons actually

it's meant to have a different This interaction has expired response in my case

Thanks!

[woeful skiff]

how to make a loop in pycord (for the presence)

[grizzled sentinel]

Use ext.tasks

[errant crane]

Here's the background task example.

[woeful skiff]

oh ty

[wicked helm]

Does this work with bot instead of client?

[woeful skiff]

i don't think so

so i need the bot example sadly

[grizzled sentinel]

discord.ext.tasks it is separate from the bot

[woeful skiff]

yeah

thats bad :/

[errant crane]

Here's the background task asyncio example.

[woeful skiff]

i need a loop for the activity presence

[wicked helm]

So I would be running a client.. and a bot?

[woeful skiff]

can you just tell me how, or give me a good example? the one from the toolkit didn't rly help me :/

sadly

[grizzled sentinel]

No, you would not need client

[grizzled sentinel]

If you put the task in a cog you can access bot.

[wicked helm]

Ah ok, so the example uses client. But if I put that in bot cog it would work?

I’ll try that.. I need a background task that will update roles every x hours, as well as on command

[grizzled sentinel]

Yeah, This guide example looks a bit better

from discord.ext import tasks, commands

class MyCog(commands.Cog):
    def __init__(self):
        self.index = 0
        self.printer.start()

    def cog_unload(self):
        self.printer.cancel()

    @tasks.loop(seconds=5)
    async def printer(self):
        print(self.index)
        self.index += 1

with discord.Cog if using slash commands of course

[proud mason]

The answer is yes btw. What Ice wolf meant that ext.tasks and bot clients aren't related. Heck you can even use ext.tasks with some other project that doesn't even use discord

[wicked helm]

Ahh, sorry, thought the “not related” meant they wouldn’t work 😂 thanks

[woeful skiff]

ayssvbfdiou

sorry my macbook almost fell

[leaden relic]

i did try putting it in init of cog but it throws an error

[limber urchin]

Do you want to show this error? Or should we guess what it is and see if we're right?

[leaden relic]

ohh wait

Note: i have a bot = discord.Bot() outside the cog class

my first ver of init was

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

this raised a RuntimeError: No Running Event Loop

the second one is

def __init__(self):
        bot.add_view(MyView())

this one raised a TypeError: __init__() takes 1 positional argument but 2 were given

[still helm]

I don´t understand this part in discord.Webhook example

async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session:
        webhook = Webhook.from_url('url-here', session=session)

because in the description it says "Represents an asynchronous Discord webhook."

If it´s asynchron, why i have to do this with aiohttp again?

[limber urchin]

What? It's async because you're doing it with aiohttp

Otherwise it wouldn't be

[still helm]

Then the description is false or not?

[limber urchin]

Why would it be false??

[still helm]

I always thought with aiohttp i made an synchron call an asynchron one

[limber urchin]

Yes?

[still helm]

But the description says it's asynchronous, so I don't need to make the call asynchronous again

or not?

[limber urchin]

What are you even talking about

The description says it's asynchronous because it is, because it's using aiohttp

[still helm]

no

[young bone]

[still helm]

the description says discord.Webhook is asynchronous.

And aiohttp made it asynchronous again

[young bone]

[limber urchin]

Yes? You have to use aiohttp if you want to use asynchronous stuff

That's how it works

It's not just going to be magically asynchronous

[still helm]

ok then that's misleading for me, because I thought the discord.webhook is already there

theres a lot of asynchronous functions out there, so yes i thought it going to be magically asynchronous 😄

[limber urchin]

Even if a function is asynchronous you have to use aiohttp

Otherwise it's useless to have it async in the first place

[still helm]

ok i understand

thanks for your information

[wicked void]

Hi, stupid question: I've got all the intents:

intents = discord.Intents.all()
client = discord.Client(intents=intents)

enabled but I still can't read message.content outside DMs. Is this something i'm missing?

[full basin]

Did you enable such intents on the dev portal?

[wicked void]

yep

i have also made my bot an admin just in case it might have helped 😅

[proud mason]

what pycord version are you using?

[wicked void]

2.4 I think?

I used whatever pip gave me

it is possible i failed to cleanly remove discord.py before switching to pycord

[limber urchin]

do pip freeze and see if you have discord still in there

or anything that could conflict

[young bone]

Can you show the pip list?

[limber urchin]

if you're on linux you can do something like pip list | grep discord

[young bone]

^

[limber urchin]

on windows it's pip list | findstr "discord" I think

[true pewter]

any example of "about me" or watching or streaming? i want to make it dynamic with a users counter?

[proud mason]

about me is different from bot's activity

[wicked void]

ok i am now in a venv so i have nothing

]

[true pewter]

example about bot's activity?

[wicked void]

ha, what the heck

[young bone]

Uninstall pycord and use py-cord

[proud mason]

not sure if there is an example, but what you want is bot.change_presence

[wicked void]

is there a difference and if so why is this

[wicked void]

ok, switched to py-cord

no change

[limber urchin]

pycord is incorrect, py-cord is correct. It's because the package is named py-cord and not pycord

[wicked void]

why do both of these things work up until this exact point then

"pip install pycord" should probably spit out an error rather than installing a bugged version 😅

ok here we are currently

[proud mason]

it is a different library. an ffmpeg wrapper

[limber urchin]

Realistically it shouldn't work, because pycord isn't even a wrapper for the Discord API

[wicked void]

...

i'm nuking this entire venv

[young bone]

Do it x3

[leaden relic]

there was a time when i was having a hard time setting up venv 😌

[wicked void]

that time for me is literally now, i hate venv T_T

[young bone]

At my Pi I dont even use a venv x3

[leaden relic]

first step: python -m venv venv the second venv here is the name of the virtual environment
second step: ./venv/Scripts/activate this is to activate the venv

[wicked void]

every time i interact with venv i feel a vague sense of dread

[limber urchin]

In production using a venv shouldn't be necessary anyways unless you're hosting multiple things. But during development it's basically a must to avoid a pain with conflicts

[leaden relic]

i used to not use it too, but too many packages get in the way and forced me to learn it now i like it hahaha

[wicked void]

ha lmao powershell accepts forwardslashes

[limber urchin]

I always use WSL when developing because I don't like Windows CLI

[wicked void]

oh no it's still somehow kept the old packages what tf did i do

oh clown moment

i'm using the system python

very unused to dev on windows pls understand

[limber urchin]

Hence why I recommend WSL ^

[sage bear]

how do i check if a user has the active developer badge

[sage bear]

you need intents

i think

[hushed jasper]

can you tell me what to add ig?

there are no erros

errors

[sage bear]

intents = discord.Intents.all()
intents.members = True```

[leaden relic]

wiat why are you sending your client secret here?

[hushed jasper]

its a test bot

dosen't matter

[leaden relic]

ohhh

well it can be reset anytime so i guess yeah hahaha

[young bone]

Nice token

[sage bear]

then bot = bot.random(intents=intents)

[young bone]

Pls reset the token

[hushed jasper]

its a test bot

calm down

you aint getting nothing

[young bone]

Doesnt matter

[leaden relic]

await ctx.respond == ("something here") what's with this line?

[hushed jasper]

oh, thats when the command plays

it responds with the text

[leaden relic]

no i mean what's with the ==

[hushed jasper]

was testing stuff

[young bone]

What?

[hushed jasper]

if it would of fixed

let me check if one works

[leaden relic]

it's await ctx.respond("something here")

[sage bear]

nevermind

[hushed jasper]

dosen't make much of a difference

[leaden relic]

and it's not bot.random()
it's bot = discord.Bot()

[limber urchin]

Reset your bot token

[hushed jasper]

prob here

[wicked void]

ok i am now in a clean venv

the problem persists

[young bone]

Can you open a thread?

[hushed jasper]

@bot.slash_command. Im pretty sure i enabled the commands in Oauth2

[wicked void]

yeah fair enough

[leaden relic]

@bot.event
async def on_ready():

[limber urchin]

and what is bot.random? And onready is not a thing

[hushed jasper]

ik

the bot random thing is for something else

[limber urchin]

And why is your command inside of the onready method?

[wicked void]

wait where do i create the thread i can't create it here and #general is the wrong place for it

[limber urchin]

#969574202413838426 ?

it's a forum, you can create a thread

[wicked void]

oh lmao i have never used forums before

thanks

[leaden relic]

#969574202413838426

[young bone]

Why does the #github stuff looks so bad at my phone

[hushed jasper]

im new to this stuff, the reason why. Pycord wouldnt install. It got installed yesterday. I used the pycord install command. didnt work

[leaden relic]

ohhh it changes to #

[young bone]

The # is so big

[leaden relic]

dark dark mode

[limber urchin]

If you're new to Python you shouldn't be making a bot in the first place. Read #help-rules

[hushed jasper]

forgot lmao

anyway have a nice day

[limber urchin]

Discord Mobile, always bringing new visual bugs to enjoy

[young bone]

It looks so bad

[limber urchin]

to be fair developing anything for mobile is a pain

[young bone]

I dont know how it is so I cannot say anything about it

[sage bear]

how do i make it so it displays 2 badges? ive tried this:

if user.public_flags.hypesquad_bravery:
      e.add_field(name=f"**Badges**", value=f"![emoji_3](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1066677280652398633.webp?size=128 "emoji_3") Hypesquad Bravery", inline=False)
      if user.public_flags.active_developer:

[limber urchin]

Why are you nesting your if statements?

[sage bear]

uhh idk i was just trying stuff

[limber urchin]

Well don't nest them

[sage bear]

just have a separate if statement for if user.public_flags.active_developer:?

[limber urchin]

Yes? Your logic makes no sense right now

[sage bear]

i already tried that tho

oh wait

okay i tried it and it didnt show hypesquad badge cuz i dont have one

[fervent cradle]

Hello guys. I have a question related to select menu. When the bot turns off and on, the menu does not work, you have to use the command again, is there any way to fix it so that it works forever

[errant crane]

Here's the persistent example.

[mild sigil]

If I have three buttons like this:

    async def button_callback(self, button, interaction):
        label: str = "A1"
        author = interaction.user
        for child in self.children:
            if child.view.id != {"A1", "A3"}:
                child.disabled = True
        if self.buttons_selected < 1:
            await interaction.response.edit_message(content=f'{author}, your first choice was {label}! Please select '
                                                            f'another option')
            self.set_button_one(label)
            self.increase_button_selected()
        else:
            self.set_button_two(label)
            self.reset_button_selected()
            await interaction.response.edit_message(view=None, content=f'{author}, your first choice was '
                                                                       f'{self.button_one} and '
                                                                       f'your second choice was {self.button_two}!')```

I'm trying to disable different ones but this isnt working. Is it not child.view.id to check that?

[silver moat]

are you trying to disable a button that is not in the set of {"A1", "A3"}?

[mild sigil]

I have all the buttons under the same class, I assumed I could disable them by calling their custom_id using the child attribute

[silver moat]

id ≠ custom_id.

you are also comparing a string to a set of strings, which will return false

you may be looking for

if child.custom_id not in {"A1", "A3"}:

[mild sigil]

hmm, I get an unresolved reference error with child.custom_id. Do I need to import that directly from pycord?

ok, got this:

    async def second_button_callback(self, button, interaction):
        label: str = "A2"
        author = interaction.user
        for child in self.children:
            if child.view.custom_id not in {"A1", "A2"}:
                child.disabled = True```

and it doesn't throw any errors in pycharm but when I press the button in discord I get: 'BingoButtons' object has no attribute 'custom_id'

[silver moat]

you can always compare the label instead

[mild sigil]

would that require adding in the eq method to the class?

or am I missing something obvious

[proud mason]

uh view doesnt have a custom id

the items do

[mild sigil]

mmm, so if I have a
class DisableButtons(discord.ui.View)
I wouldn't be able to grab the labels/custom_id from that?

[proud mason]

pretty sure no. although the buttons inside can have custom ids

[mild sigil]

hmm, so is there someplace I should look for information on how to do this? I want to have a 5x5 board of buttons and disable certain ones based on which other button is pressed. Is there a way to check the button label or custom_id to disable is or am I gonna need to try a different method?

[fervent cradle]

Thank you very much for this. Now everything works, but unfortunately not with a modal window, when I add it to item , pycord requires another title argument, but it is not needed at all

🤔

[proud mason]

ig you can check the button label. iterate over view.children

[fervent cradle]

how to specify that it does not require a title from me

[proud mason]

uh you cant have a persistent Modal, can you?

[fervent cradle]

ohhhh, yes yes..

thank you bro

[proud mason]

lol np

[fervent cradle]

why.....

[silver moat]

show MyModal code?

[ebon drift]

How do I get categories for help commands

[long moat]

so im having a little bit of an issue, wondering if anyone has a quick fix answer.
I'm able to grab the "interaction.user" from a message, but if that user mentions another user i am unsure how to grab that mentioned user's information from the interaction.

I should point out, this is for a third party bot that processes reminders and game data collation for a discord game so the user is not interacting with my bot so I cannot grab it from a ctx command.

[limber urchin]

.rtfm Message.mentions

[winter condor]

4 results

discord.Message.mentions
discord.WebhookMessage.mentions
discord.InteractionMessage.mentions
discord.SyncWebhookMessage.mentions

[long moat]

this is from a slash command not a regular message

the game has message intents so prefix commands i can capture mentions fine.
it also has slash commands to access the same data, and when using slash there is an option to select a user and view their data instead of your own; i can capture who initiated the command, but not who they mention and message.mentions returns None

[limber urchin]

How would you grab information about mentioned users if you can't see mentioned users?

[long moat]

ive tried to grab the member data from the embed it sends but for some reason it is not matching the username provided via "get_member_named()" function

so i'm doing a message search through message history to capture the trigger phrase

and if that has mentions i can capture who they mention, or just the message.author

however with slash i can only capture the interaction.user

[limber urchin]

And if you grab the original_message from the slash command?

[long moat]

one moment.

sorry was just copying and edit a function to return the whole message

[long moat]

it returns information about the command, the channel, the message, guild etc but not any actual message content

trying to get information about the interaction now

[long moat]

ok ive got the interactionMessage.data but theres still only the interaction user's id

ive got roles, name, id, discriminator, avatar, etc

[ebon drift]

How do I make hidden messages

Where if used only the person that used the command can see if

[long moat]

ephemeral=True

in await ctx.respond()

[ebon drift]

Can you do that in ctx.send()

[long moat]

no

[ebon drift]

Ok

[long moat]

its for slash interaction responses only

[young bone]

^

[ebon drift]

Well my non slash commands work but not the slash commands

[alpine kernel]

so I'm trying to do some cleanup code for if I want to shutdown my bot, and I want it to delete a 'dashboard' message, I'm able to get the code working in a test async function, but doing it in cog_unload is getting me issues, getting 'was never awaited' can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong here?

    def cog_unload():
        for guild_id in self.lastmsg:
            with asyncio.Runner() as runner:
                guild = runner.run(self.bot.fetch_guild(int(guild_id)))
                channel = runner.run(guild.fetch_channel(self.lastmsg[guild_id]['channel']))
                msg = runner.run(channel.fetch_message(self.lastmsg[guild_id]['msgid']))
                jump = msg.jump_url
                runner.run(msg.delete())
            print(f"Deleted dashboard message {jump}")

[young bone]

did you read the first line?

[alpine kernel]

you're really one of the most unhelpful people on this server

[young bone]

also fetch is a coroutine

[young bone]

you have to await if you use fetch

[proud mason]

Override bot.close
It is an async function

Don't do this in cog_unload

[alpine kernel]

ok thanks

was trying to figure out how to make it work by even just getting the main loop off of the bot and trying with that, no dice. But too frustrated to delve deeper heh

[delicate harbor]

any guide for always working buttons (persistent)?

i know we can add custom views to the on_ready function
but how to do it dynamically

like if a user runs a command, it shows them the buttons. i want the buttons to stay working, even on restart.

another question, how to get the message upon which the button is clicked (interaction has happened)

for example i have multiple messages with the same persistent view, how to get the message object upon which button has been clicked.

thanks

[proud mason]

are the buttons dynamic based on what the user inputs in the command?

then use a db

to store what the user enters

[proud mason]

interaction.message

[delicate harbor]

Yes

[delicate harbor]

Oh damn I'll have to use a db then

[proud mason]

not that difficult

use sqlite

and please nojson

?tag nojson

[obtuse junco]

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

Advantages of using a database:

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

Popular database management systems:

- SQLite3
- MongoDB
- PostgreSQL
- MySQL
- MariaDB
- Microsoft Access

[delicate harbor]

Yes yes, i don't use json anyways for db. Always have used postgres

[proud mason]

wow tysm

[ornate current]

I have a list of discord role ids, i want to check if a user has any role that has the same id in that list. what is the effecient way to do that?

[proud mason]

you could use python function any

[ornate current]

but i think ill need the list of ids of that member

[proud mason]

along with list comprehension

[ornate current]

i cant just do member.author.roles.any([id lsit])

k ill try that

member.author.roles.any([member.guild.get_role(x) for x in mylist])```

[proud mason]

uh no

[ornate current]

then

[proud mason]

any is a python function. it accepts a list of values and returns True if any of the value is true

you use it like this xyz = any([...])

[ornate current]

oh yeah that

sorry my mind aint working rn

[proud mason]

iterate over member.roles and check if role.id in your_list_of_ids

[proud mason]

easiest way would be using list comprehension

there is also commands.has_any_role but that is a command check

.rtfm has_any

[winter condor]

[ornate current]

sorry

[proud mason]

iirc, a select menu that includes user, roles and channels

[ornate current]

oh i thought dropdowns only had the limit of 25

they can have more?

[proud mason]

string dropdowns have a limit of 25 options

but discord allows other dropdown types too. namely user, role, channel and mentionable (which is previous 3 combined)

you can filter channel select menus if you want to display specific types like text, voice, category etc

Should i use aiosqlite or json to store stuff??

I have a server with over 10,000 members and i need to store alot

[proud mason]

sqlite please

?tag json

[obtuse junco]

Why JSON is unsuitable as a data storage medium.

1. JSON, quite simply, is not a database. It's not designed to be a data storage format, rather a way of transmitting data over a network. It's also often used as a way of doing configuration files for programs.

2. There is no redundancy built in to JSON. JSON is just a format, and Python has libraries for it like json and ujson that let you load and dump it, sometimes to files, but that's all it does, write data to a file. There is no sort of DBMS (Database Management System), which means no sort of sophistication in how the data is stored, or built in ways to keep it safe and backed up, there's no built in encryption either - bear in mind in larger applications encryption may be necessary for GDPR/relevant data protection regulations compliance.

3. JSON, unlike relational databases, has no way to store relational data, which is a very commonly needed way of storing data. Relational data, as the name may suggest, is data that relates to other data. For example if you have a table of users and a table of servers, the server table will probably have an owner field, where you'd reference a user from the users table. [This is only relevant for relational data]

4. JSON is primarily a KV (key-value) format, for example {"a":"b"} where a is the key and b is the value, but what if you want to search not by that key but by a sub-key? Well, instead of being able to quickly use var[key], which in a Python dictionary has a constant return time (for more info look up hash tables), you now have to iterate through every object in the dictionary and compare to find what you're looking for. Most relational database systems, like MySQL, MariaDB, and PostgreSQL have ways of indexing secondary fields apart from the primary key so that you can easily search by multiple attributes.

Async sqlite makes the code very messy

[proud mason]

asqlite is slightly better library because it has connection pools aiosqlite

[ornate current]

Split methods, join methods

[proud mason]

not a lot

[ornate current]

For lists

if i want to store lists

[proud mason]

you dont store lists in sql

[ornate current]

exactly

[proud mason]

you use separate table with relations

[ornate current]

Its so limited

wh

[proud mason]

thats the 1st principal of sql

[proud mason]

1 column of a row shouldn’t store more than 1 piece of data

[ornate current]

I was doing smt like this ",".join(list) and list.split

[proud mason]

you create a separate table and use foreign keys

[proud mason]

bad choice

Can you recommend me some docs? I am not that copy paste kinda guy, i won't implement smt im not familliar with

I wanna make an infinte list not a defined one

Like entering giveaways/queues

[fervent cradle]

He clings to line 98, well, there is a heading there, he says that he is needed, I don’t understand at all

[limber urchin]

Read the error, title is a keyword only argument

[full basin]

Sending the error again won't solve it

[fervent cradle]

the problem is solved, the modal window opens when its button is met, but does not send the most, the modal window

[full basin]

Whatever that means, ok then

[fervent cradle]

the callback function of the modal window is not handled.

[proud mason]

well it is an sql structure thing

not sure if there are docs on how to structure your db

so lets say you have a table called guilds

which has your guilds

now lets say you want to store a list of blacklisted users for a guild

earlier you were storing them as a string, but thats very bad practice

what you would rather do is

create another table, lets say bl_users. 1st column would be user_id, 2nd column would be guild which references guilds table

[ornate current]

OHHH thx dude u are a big help

but there would be no performance problems if i have like say 30 lists

also what lib were you talking about? asqlite? i am currently using aiosqlite

[limber urchin]

wdym 30 lists?

[limber urchin]

what is asqlite?

[silver moat]

  super().__init__(title=title, ...)

[fervent cradle]

thx

[limber urchin]

Your table structure has nothing to do with the library you're using.

[ornate current]

how can i convert datetime object to timestamp?

[silver moat]

.rtfm utils.format_dt

[winter condor]

1 results

discord.utils.format_dt

[proud mason]

SQL random row selection is extremely fast with barely any performance loss at big sized tables

[proud mason]

asqlite and aiosqlite both use the built in sqlite3 library. But asqlite has a slight advantage as it supports connection pooling. This allows for much better async usage

[proud mason]

dt.timestamp ?

[ornate current]

how can i make 1second has passed live on discord.py?

like the ones in the giveaway bot

[limber urchin]

This is not discord.py

[alpine kernel]

IMO it's fine to start off with your bot storing stuff in JSON but sooner or later you will want to transition to a database system, and in retrospect to my project I switched probably a lot later then I should.

A lot of useful functionality comes with something so simple as sqlite, stuff that I was implementing myself and wasting time, but I was putting off brushing back up on sql and understanding what each DBMS does/which is right for me

[limber urchin]

?tag nojson

[obtuse junco]

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

Advantages of using a database:

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

Popular database management systems:

- SQLite3
- MongoDB
- PostgreSQL
- MySQL
- MariaDB
- Microsoft Access

[limber urchin]

Using json files for data storage is just wrong, it's not what json files are meant to be used for.

The only reason I can think of for using json files as a "database" is because you don't know of any other method. Or just laziness

[rare ice]

Just learn how to use a database, like mongodb. Believe it or not, I used to use json files for a little while and I saw some data being lost for some reason and wasn’t very reliable. Learn how to use a database, it will literally save you so much time. We won’t give you help on json databases, since they suck and json isn’t really meant for that.

[limber urchin]

they're perfectly fine for static data, like configuration files and backups of data. But as soon as you start reading/writing to a json file programmatically it will only cause you pain and confusion.

[chrome skiff]

why do i get this? it means something like: enter a valid integer

[full basin]

I don't think QUIKZ is an int is it?

[chrome skiff]

no i have async def changeserverid(ctx: discord.ApplicationContext, licensekey: str, neue_serverid: int):

the first works

[proud mason]

server ids are too big to be accepted as int by discord

accept str and convert to int in your code

[chrome skiff]

oof okay thanks

[proud mason]

yea lol np

[cerulean stag]

How do you embed commands into discord markdown?

[simple canopy]

codeblock you mean?

🤔

[cerulean stag]

i remember there was a bot that had some sort of click to use a slash command

[simple canopy]

oh, second

?tag slashcommandmention

[obtuse junco]

</full name:ID>

[cerulean stag]

and the id is the channel id?

[simple canopy]

command id

name can be anything aslong as the id is right

if it is not - it wont be clickable

</fake command:123123>

[cerulean stag]

how do I get the command id?

[cerulean stag]

ohhh

ty

[silver moat]

Using code, it would be
ctx.command.id

[simple canopy]

like this, but i suggest you just using .id in code to get it

what squid said ^

[green hinge]

Can someone explain to me how to make my Paginator persistent?

@commands.command(name="showspot", help="Zeigt alle Spots an")
    async def page(self, ctx):
        paginator = await PaginatorInfoView(self.bot)
        await paginator.send(ctx)

class PaginatorInfoView(Paginator):   
    async def __new__(cls, *args, **kwargs):
        obj = super().__new__(cls)
        await obj.__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        return obj
    
    async def __init__(self, bot: discord.Bot):
        self.bot = bot
        pages = await self.generate_pages()
        view = await self.generate_view()
        super().__init__(pages=pages, custom_view=view, timeout=899, author_check=False)

    async def generate_pages(self):
        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)
        return pages

    async def generate_view(self):
        view = SpotDetails(self.bot)
        return view```

[finite flame]

how do I make a app command only available for the bot owner

[silver moat]

You can

1. Use the guild_ids parameter and only register it in a specific guild
2. Use the @commands.is_owner() check. (Note that others can still see it, just fails on usage)

[silver moat]

Paginators are views too! Just add them to the bot.

[finite flame]

so there is no "real" way to make a command owner only? (native discord)

[green hinge]

Like this?

class Base(commands.Cog):
    def __init__(self, bot):
        self.bot = bot
        self.persistent_views_added = False
    
    @commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_ready(self):
        if not self.persistent_views_added:
            self.bot.add_view(PaginatorInfoView())
            self.persistent_views_added = True```

[silver moat]

yes

[silver moat]

I'm not Python, but that looks right.

[green hinge]

Hmm when I restart the bot the buttons still don't work, maybe someone who knows Python can help me? 🤔

[limber urchin]

Add a print in your on_ready to see if it runs

[green hinge]

How can I add the custom_id to the paginator? When I add it in the super init I get the error that it is not known there?

ValueError: View is not persistent. Items need to have a custom_id set and View must have no timeout

Here I create the view for my Paginator:

    async def generate_view(self):
        view = SpotDetails(self.bot)
        return view```
And that is the view:
```py
class SpotDetails(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self, bot):
        super().__init__(timeout=None)
        self.bot = bot
        self.message_details = []

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

[silver moat]

What I meant to say is that I am not the Python Interpreter so I cannot know for sure if something will work or not.

[silver moat]

You can try

for child in view.children:
  child.custom_id = "something unique here"

in your __init__

[green hinge]

In the init of my view or?

[silver moat]

which ever one that works

[finite flame]

what am I doing wrong? this appears on startup [resolved (my server is using python 3.8)]

[green hinge]

When I try to do it this way, I get my print that the view has been added although there is no paginator and when I try to create one, I get the message that the ID cannot be used multiple times. 🤔

    async def generate_view(self):
        view = SpotDetails(self.bot)
        for child in view.children:
            child.custom_id = "Info_View"
        return view```

The print works, I can also create the paginator with the view but when I restart the bot the paginator still does not work.

    @commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_ready(self):
        if not self.persistent_views_added:
            self.bot.add_view(await PaginatorInfoView(self.bot))
            print("Views added")
            self.persistent_views_added = True```
```py
class SpotDetails(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self, bot):
        super().__init__(timeout=None)
        self.bot = bot
        self.message_details = []
        self.custom_id = 'spot_details_view'```
Paginatorclass:
```py
async def __init__(self, bot: discord.Bot):
        self.bot = bot
        self.pages = await self.update_pages()
        view = await self.generate_view()
        super().__init__(pages=self.pages, custom_view=view, timeout=None, author_check=False)
    
async def generate_view(self):
        view = SpotDetails(self.bot)
        return view```

[fervent cradle]

is there a way to make text commands cuz the docs are giving me aids

[limber urchin]

"text commands"?

[fervent cradle]

yes

prefix

[limber urchin]

of course there is a way to make prefix commands

Just use https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/ext/commands/index.html

[fervent cradle]

yeah but im trying to make slash commands too

like a mix

does that overwrite @bot.command?

[limber urchin]

Use bridge commands then

Or ext.commands

[fervent cradle]

ok

isnt @bot.slash_command a thing too

[limber urchin]

yes

that is part of ext.commands

[fervent cradle]

ok so if i import i use @bot.command for non slash commands and @bot.slash_command for slash commands?

[limber urchin]

try it and see

[fervent cradle]

nope still not working

same token now

let me regen a 5th time

[silver moat]

are you running the right thing

[fervent cradle]

yuh

it was working fine yesterday

i made no changes other than changing the bot token

cant your bot get temporarily fucked if it does something malicious

mine wasnt, just asking

[silver moat]

you can try inviting the bot and see if the "quarentined" error shows up

[fervent cradle]

ok

uhh i dont have 2fa

[silver moat]

create a new guild and add it to it

[fervent cradle]

yeah it works

friends token isnt working either

[wild socket]

if I have a view class, how can i add a modal class item to it ?

[proud mason]

You can't add a modal to a view

A view has buttons, select menu etc which can be sent on a message.
A modal is sort of a user input form. Those aren't related

[ornate current]

How much ram is sufficient for hosting a bot?

My bot is on a 5k + member server and does alot of storing and stuff

and what vps are the cheapest options?

[wild socket]

I was asking about select menu. My brain was processing things regarding modal, so accidently asked abt it. I meant select menu

[young bone]

So you mean a Menu to a Modal?

[limber urchin]

Depends on what your bot is doing. 2-4GB should be enough for just about anything.
I recommend looking at GalaxyGate, DigitalOcean or Vultr, but that's only to name a few. Do your own research on what server suits you best.

[young bone]

A Raspberry Pi is also great for that

[limber urchin]

And if by "does alot of storing" you mean storing things in a database. RAM has nothing to do with that, you want to look at disk space

[wild socket]

Uh...forget what I said

My question is: How can i add a "Select Menu" to a view "class" ?

I have the Select menu class ready

just need to add it

[young bone]

The same like a button

[wild socket]

self.view.add_item ?

that way ?

[green hinge]

Can anyone help me and know what I am doing wrong or how to solve it correctly? 🙂

[ornate current]

Thx, also do you know how to make smt like this-

How can i get live aware time smt like ends in 5 mins, ends in 2secs etc.

[limber urchin]

?tag Timestamps

[obtuse junco]

To make a timestamp you need a unix timestamp. Then, put your time and date into the converter and copy the "Unix Timestamp" (https://www.unixtimestamp.com/) Then to use the timestamp, follow this syntax: <t:COPIED_TIMESTAMP_HERE:FORMAT>

Where it says FORMAT, you can put a few different things:

R: Relative, says "two weeks ago", or "in 5 years"

D: Date, says "July 4, 2021"

T: Time, "11:28:27 AM"

F: Full, "Monday, July 4, 2021 11:28:27 AM"

Example: (note: 1000190514 is Unix time for 11 September 2001)

<t:1000190514:R> -> says 20 years ago
<t:1000190514:D> -> says 11 September 2001
<t:1000190514:T> -> says 12:11:54
<t:1000190514:F> -> says Tuesday, 11 September 2001 12:11

If you have subclassed select menu then yes

The print works, I can also create the paginator with the view but when I restart the bot the paginator still does not work.

async def generate_view(self):
        view = SpotDetails(self.bot)
        return view```

[proud mason]

View doesn't have a custom id

Does the paginator have a custom id? 🤔

[green hinge]

Unfortunately I can't add a custom_id here, it doesn't exist in the Paginator class. 😬

def __init__(self, bot: discord.Bot):
        self.bot = bot
        self.pages = await self.update_pages()
        view = await self.generate_view()
        super().__init__(pages=self.pages, custom_view=view, timeout=None, author_check=False)```

[wild socket]

You can use buttons for it. But there's a slight issue. You can then only have 25 days for 25 buttons (maximum amount) after which you gotta figure out what you can do...

[young bone]

what?

[green hinge]

Doesn't anyone know how I can make a Paginator persistent? 🙄

[young bone]

The same like a button

[green hinge]

I have my Paginator class but when I want to add a custom_id here I always get the error message that Paginator does not have a custom_id 🤔

class PaginatorInfoView(Paginator):     
    def __init__(self, bot: discord.Bot):
        self.bot = bot
        self.pages = await self.update_pages()
        view = await self.generate_view()
        super().__init__(pages=self.pages, custom_view=view, timeout=None, author_check=False)```

[limber urchin]

Why do you need a custom id on your paginator class?

[green hinge]

Because I want to make the Paginator persistent 🙄

[limber urchin]

That is not how you make the paginator persistent

[green hinge]

Here I create my Paginator with the command and call the Paginator class here and then send it to the channel:

@commands.command(name="showspot", help="Zeigt alle Spots an")
    async def page(self, ctx):
        paginator = await PaginatorInfoView(self.bot)
        await paginator.send(ctx)```
When I try this to make the paginator persistent I always get the error that there is no custom_id....
```py
@commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_ready(self):
        if not self.persistent_views_added:
            self.bot.add_view(await PaginatorInfoView(self.bot))
            print("Views added")
            self.persistent_views_added = True```

[limber urchin]

Yes? Because the paginator class doesn't have anything called custom_id

[green hinge]

But then how can I make the Paginator persistent?

[limber urchin]

Same as you would for a normal view, give the components custom IDs and initialize on your bot startup

[young bone]

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

[green hinge]

But I use the standard Paginator buttons which have no custom_id or?

[limber urchin]

Then give them a custom id

discord.errors.ExtensionFailed: Extension 'cogs.antiping' raised an error: AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute '__name__'``` it happens on setup but I doubt that

[wild socket]

he can use:

5 buttons in each row - 5 days
and repeat this for 25 times using numpy

but for the rest 5, he gotta figure out himself what he can do

[young bone]

do you still get it if you dont load the cog?

[sinful pivot]

I don't

[wild socket]

since, uhm he can not use more than 25 buttons

[young bone]

uh ye, that is a Discord Limit not a py-cord limit

[wild socket]

or he can use 23 actually

and rest 2 as forward and backward button

easy

[wild socket]

The error is simple, the thing that's returned is string not a class object. you should try to print first what's being returned then debug and modify code accordingly.

[sinful pivot]

Where is it returned though

[young bone]

can you do a copy of the file and save it and delete like some lines of codes for testing to see at which line it is

[wild socket]

just print(datatype.name)

oh wait

[sinful pivot]

Where, inside the class, in the setup func?

[wild socket]

just print (datatype)

[wild socket]

before you are doing that check

right before it

[sinful pivot]

NameError: name 'datatype' is not defined

[young bone]

?

[sinful pivot]

I could but like uhm

sure lets do that

It happens in the command

[sinful pivot]

I removed the whole command and it works

[formal sleet]

Just wondering but is it possible to have a slash command without named arguments? This just returns 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'content' even though I have all possible intents and permissions. It's an example in the docs (https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/faq.html#how-do-i-get-the-original-message), no idea what I'm doing wrong

@bot.command
async def whatever(ctx):
  await ctx.respond(ctx.message.content)

[young bone]

dont delete anything

only a few lines everytime

to test it

[sinful pivot]

why dont I add print statements every few lines

to see where the error occurs, and then we can do the deletion

because deleting straight up gives me errors

[young bone]

do a debug ;3

[sinful pivot]

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'utils'

😭 its on the top lol

[wild socket]

its @bot.slash_command

not bot.command

[young bone]

doesnt matter

[wild socket]

?

[young bone]

only if you use commands.Bot

[wild socket]

yeah...

[formal sleet]

It doesn't work either way

[wild socket]

send entire code?

(without token)

[young bone]

you are not sending a message?

[formal sleet]

Oh wait, you have to use commands.Bot for this?, won't work with discord.Bot?

[wild socket]

it should

but I prefer commands.Bot

[young bone]

if you use discord.Bot you can stay with bot.command

[sinful pivot]

debug just cant import anything from my utils folder so

[young bone]

mhm

[sinful pivot]

what do I do lol

helppp

I fixed it somehow

it was something with cog loading ig

[formal sleet]

this is literally all I'm trying to run now, doesn't work, bot has all perms and intents on the dev page too

from discord import Bot, Intents
bot = Bot(intents = Intents.all())
@bot.command()
async def echo(ctx):
  await ctx.respond(ctx.message.content)
bot.run("TOKEN")

await ctx.respond(ctx.message.content)
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'content'

must be doing something really stupid here

[young bone]

read the error

[formal sleet]

both message and content are None

[young bone]

can you just send a message?

[formal sleet]

yeah it works eg with await ctx.respond("test")

[young bone]

do you know basic python?

[formal sleet]

to an extent, yes

[young bone]

what do you mean by that?

do you know the basic´s of python?

[formal sleet]

yes, this is just a simple example I'm trying to debug

[young bone]

It looks like that you dont know the basic of it...

[full basin]

Slash commands don't have a message

There's no message that triggered the slash command

[formal sleet]

sorry but I really don't see what's wrong with this? Not sure what you mean by basics here, I can see the error but it doesn't help, the message just doesn't exist

[formal sleet]

oh, that makes sense, so do I need a named argument for this?

[full basin]

If you want to receive user input, yes

You do whatever you want

[formal sleet]

Alright, thanks.. I was just hoping to be able to pass a message to the command like /chat message without having to specify /chat message:message

[full basin]

Then where would you type the message if there's no option lol

[formal sleet]

I guess I was confused since discord lets me send the command without any warnings

[sinful pivot]

Hey ya'll whenever I try to make a discord.AutoModAction object, it requires me to pass in metadata but I'm trying to block the message, and there is no meta data for that. So what should I do?

[proud mason]

you can use message commands

in the context menu

[proud mason]

why do you want to create that object yourself?

[sinful pivot]

I want to create a auto mod rule

[proud mason]

ah hmm

[sinful pivot]

        r = await guild.create_auto_moderation_rule(
            name="Anti Ping",
            event_type=discord.AutoModEventType.message_send,
            trigger_type=discord.AutoModTriggerType.keyword,
            trigger_metadata=discord.AutoModTriggerMetadata(keyword_filter=members),
            actions=[discord.AutoModAction(action_type=discord.AutoModActionType.block_message)],
            enabled=True,
            reason=f"Blacklist role {role.name} ({role.id}) from being mentioned",
            exempt_roles=([exempt] if exempt is not None else [])  # type: ignore
        )```

[sinful pivot]

thats my code ^

[proud mason]

pass AutoModActionMetadata ig

[sinful pivot]

wdym

ill try

[proud mason]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/models.html#discord.AutoModAction this sry

[sinful pivot]

discord.errors.ApplicationCommandInvokeError: Application Command raised an exception: TypeError: AutoModActionMetadata.to_dict() missing 1 required positional argument: 'self'

[proud mason]

rtfm cmd gave wrong output

[sinful pivot]

I passed in AutoModAction()?

[proud mason]

create an object of it AutoModActionMetadata()

[proud mason]

ye

[sinful pivot]

bruh Application Command raised an exception: TypeError: AutoModRule.__init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'reason

oh wait I just remove that

[proud mason]

ah wait i think that could be a library bug...

yep it is

[sinful pivot]

Welp

[proud mason]

ill make a pr

[sinful pivot]

ty lol but gonna take ages to be accepted prob

[proud mason]

you can edit it yourself for now

[sinful pivot]

what do i do lol

can u make a pr ill just copy paste the edits

[proud mason]

- return AutoModRule(state=self._state, data=data, reason=reason)
+ return AutoModRule(state=self._state, data=data)

[sinful pivot]

alr

[proud mason]

in create_auto_moderation_rule

[sinful pivot]

yeah Im already there

[proud mason]

cool

check if the error persists after that

[sinful pivot]

how do I do that in a pterodactyl container lol

[proud mason]

uh. probably check where the library is stored

[sinful pivot]

welp idk about that

[proud mason]

another complicated way would be creating a fork and using it

[sinful pivot]

plannned on doing that

whoop

site-packages found

[proud mason]

ayye nice

[sinful pivot]

FOUND IT

@proud mason May have found another bug ```discord.errors.ApplicationCommandInvokeError: Application Command raised an exception: AttributeError: 'AutoModRule' object has no attribute 'trigger'

nvm its not

[proud mason]

oh lol

so it works?

[sinful pivot]

ypeyep

[proud mason]

only then will I create the pr 💀

naice

👍

[sinful pivot]

wa9t

lemme test once more

[proud mason]

oops

[sinful pivot]

Works like a charm

[proud mason]

cool

[fervent cradle]

@bot.event
async def on_voice_state_update(member, before, after):
    vc = bot.get_channel(channel_IDVC3)
    if before.channel is None and after.channel is not None:
        tab = list(filter(lambda m: m.voice, member.guild.members))
        print(len(tab))
        await vc.edit(name=f"Voice: [{len(tab)}]")
    if before.channel is not None and after.channel is None:
        tab = list(filter(lambda m: m.voice, member.guild.members))
        print(len(tab))
        await vc.edit(name=f"Voice: [{len(tab)}]")

it doesn't change the channel name but it prints the right number of users

[proud mason]

print vc and see what it is

[fervent cradle]

it prints 1 when I join and then 0 when I leave

oh wait

"Voice: [0]"

the channel name

[proud mason]

hmm

and does the bot have perms to edit the channel?

[fervent cradle]

yea

i fixed it nvm

[blissful hazel]

How do I check if a member has got a higher role than another member?
I am trying to create a kick/ban command, and I want to prevent lower-ranked staff to ban higher-ranked staff.
I know you can check what permissions a member with member.guild_permissions.permission

[blissful hazel]

Nevermind, just found out you can compare Member.top_role

[blissful hazel]

if not evoker.guild_permissions.kick_members:
        await ctx.response.send_message('You do not have permission to kick members!', ephemeral=True)
        return
    if evoker.top_role <= affected.top_role:
        await ctx.response.send_message(f'That member has a higher permission level than you!', ephemeral=True)
        return
    if self_member.top_role <= affected.top_role:
        await ctx.response.send_message(f'The bot does not have a high enough permission level to kick that user.', ephemeral=True)
        return

How would shorten this code, as it gets kind of repetitive when writing commands. (It checks if a member has a permission + got a higher role than another + the bot can kick the member)

[limber urchin]

Well, you can't really shorten it. But you could move to a function and use that in every command. Or even better, make it a decorator.

[proud mason]

is it possible to send a channel select menu with some values preselected?

if not, what is the best way to achieve this?

[green hinge]

If I save a message e.g. message = await interaction.channel.send() and then edit the message at some point with await message.edit().
Do I then have to save the message again or does the data remain so that I can edit the message again later?
So do I then have to make message = await message.edit() and save message again or would that be superfluous?

I got a discord music bot with buttons (pause, skip, resume, stop) and after 5-7 minutes the buttons just stop working.
How can I fix this

Hello guys. I wanted to ask, if you click on the menu options, then a role is issued, and if you click on it, then the role is deleted, can you do this?

[limber urchin]

How do you expect anyone to help you if you don't show your code?

[fervent cradle]

[limber urchin]

You need to set the timout of the View to None, otherwise it will timeout after 3 minutes

[fervent cradle]

thank you!

[limber urchin]

And next time read #help-rules. Keep your issues in one place

[fervent cradle]

!

[limber urchin]

try it yourself and see

[fervent cradle]

How? Let me explain. I made a menu for issuing a role. I press the trace, it gives out the role, and if again, then it is a reception. I looked in the documentation on the site - no. I demand your help, dear and experienced athletes.

[limber urchin]

What?

[gleaming falcon]

So within on_application_command_error, we're passed in an Exception
How can I get just the file (without path, preferably) and line that the exception was specifically generated from?

I've tried several ways using sys.exc_info() (which is None when in the exception handler) or traceback and I can't seem to get ahold of what I want

[silver moat]

error.__traceback__?

[gleaming falcon]

I mean, it contains an object. But the current frame context is the error handler, not the source of the error

traceback.format_exception(type(error), error, error.__traceback__) at least includes the source of the error, but still provides the error handler context, which I don't care about.

Not sure why it's so difficult just get the file and line number (e.g. mycog.py:1234) that caused the error 😕

[silver moat]

convert it to a string and parse it

[gleaming falcon]

ooh, traceback.extract_tb(error.__cause__.__traceback__) at least drills down to a more useful list.

[tidal violet]

hi

i want to put @commands.has_role('admin') in every command of adminstuff class without manually adding them in the code
is it possible?

class adminstuff(commands.Cog):
	...

	@commands.command()
	@commands.has_role('admin') #this
	async def cmd1(self, ctx,):
		...

	@commands.command()
	@commands.has_role('admin')
	async def cmd2(self, ctx,):
		...

	@commands.command()
	@commands.has_role('admin')
	async def cmd3(self, ctx,):
		...
  
  #more commands

[limber urchin]

Why do you not want to add them manually?

[silver moat]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/ext/commands/cogs.html#special-methods

[gleaming falcon]

Can you do a case-insensitive search with discord.utils.get? Didn't see anything in the docs

[silver moat]

just make your own, it's open-source

[gleaming falcon]

So... "The library does not provide a case-insensitive search".

[silver moat]

precisely

[cyan quail]

use utils.find instead

you pass in your own lambda function which you could make a case-insensitive search with

(also fwiw find is similar to python's filter, but it only returns one result like get)

[ornate current]

can you make a dashboard with the modal?

would be interesting without hosting a website

[proud mason]

quick

very, quick question

    if message.channel.id == int(rep_secrets["channel_verify"]):

        await message.author.add_roles(role, reason="Verification.")
        await message.add_reaction(":white_check_mark:")

the role isnt being added

the if clause runs

ok nvm imma start a thread

[fervent cradle]

How to set a description for a slash option that is using discord.User type hinting?

async def command(ctx, user: discord.User)```

[proud mason]

use @option decorator

[errant crane]

Here's the slash options example.

[fervent cradle]

okay

[lone kiln]

Hey, i'm trying to work on an autocomplete, but the things I came across only allow me to return one option. Is there a way to return a list of strings as options for the autocomplete to show ?

[blazing tide]

TypeError: BotBase.add_command() missing 1 required positional argument: 'command'

Bro wtf this error for discord.py on slash command error
can anyone help me (FAST AS POSSIBLE)

[proud mason]

you are in fact supposed to return a list of strings

[errant crane]

Here's the slash autocomplete example.

[proud mason]

have you seen that

[proud mason]

this py-cord server

not discord.py

if you meant py-cord then show full error

[blazing tide]

wait

let me sent the full error

[proud mason]

also send relevant code

[blazing tide]

ok wait a second

[green hinge]

When do I change this somehow so that I can specify a specific role and not just administrator?

@discord.default_permissions(administrator=True)```

[blazing tide]

@bot.add_command()
async def mute_voice(ctx, member: discord.Member):
    await member.edit(mute=True)
    await ctx.send(f"{member.mention} has been muted in voice channels.")

the code and the error

[blazing tide]

.

[proud mason]

it should @bot.command()

what bot class are you using?

if you havent used the library before, make sure to read the whole guide

.guide

[winter condor]

https://guide.pycord.dev

[blazing tide]

im want slash command not command

im using discord.py

[proud mason]

then @bot.slash_command

[blazing tide]

not pycord

[proud mason]

bruh

[blazing tide]

wait a second then

[proud mason]

then go ask there

we wont provide help for discord.py

[proud mason]

dpy uses a different implementation of slash cmds

[proud mason]

this was for pycord

[blazing tide]

i dont have the support server off dpy BRUH

what can i do then

[proud mason]

google?

check on their github or docs

[blazing tide]

i found it thanks

[fervent cradle]

Hi, I previously asked on preventing users from using slash commands in a blacklist system (https://discord.com/channels/881207955029110855/1036877530633863168).

It works, but is there a way to to do the same thing for Views or any button/select/modal interaction? Or would I have to implement a interaction_check for all those views?
