how do I customize the command of the "parent" of a group?

example:
group chat
if I run /chat, does something, if I run /chat delete, it does something else

I tried doing this but raised an error about unique commands:

    chat_group = SlashCommandGroup(
        "chat",
        "Commands about chatting with the bot",
    )

    @discord.slash_command()
    async def chat(self, mensagem: discord.Option(str, description="Message to be sent to the bot")):
        pass```

But.. When I do, it tells me that "[\'stuff1\']" can't be resolved to a str '-'

proud mason
#

pretty sure you would need interaction check. views dont go through an event like slash cmds. they use their own internal listener

#

what you can rather do is

#

make a subclass of discord.ui.View that implements the interaction_check. and inherit all your views from this new class instead of discord.ui.View

i hope i explained decently

lone kiln
#

Found out why, can't send a list, had to do return [stuff for stuff in my_list]

proud mason

ah ok, ty

#

Hello everyone. I wanted to know how to implement the system. For example: I write the "registration" command, and the bot answers me "Check your slot number 23 in channel # .." After that, I go to the previously specified channel, and the bot itself changes the message and adds my name to slot 23.

#

I already thought about doing it through @bot.event, but then after reading the API ref I didn’t find what I needed.

#

It is necessary to track this message and its content somehow.

#

I'm not asking you to write code. I'll be glad if you direct me to the right idea.

blissful hazel
#

How do I check if a permission string is a valid permission?

blissful hazel
#

Try using Channel.fetch_message

#

You can also store the channel id's

proud mason
#

or actually, channel id with the message object will make more sense

#

i assume you would have some logic (or random) to determine which channel the user is to be added in

#

then yea, based on that edit the message from that channel

#

Unless...

#

you plan on sending a separate message for each slot, and not edit a single message again an again

#

this would be fairly simple

blissful hazel
proud mason
#

not sure but check what Permissions.VALID_FLAGS is

#

you might need an object of Permissions

#

is there a quick way to check if user has reacted on message beforehand

#

like not emit a event

#

and i want it fast

#

bc i have multiple reactions i need to check

young bone
calm plume
#

the reaction_add and raw_reaction_add

#

but say the bot is offline

#

someone decides to react to a message

#

how would i make it so the bot checks the reactions(we are talking a couple of 10-20) multiplied by 2 which are the amount of reactions

#

u start to see some stuff pilling up

#

also pls do not reccomend me msg.reactions[index].users()

#

i've tried it and takes 11 seconds to get the reactions for all msgs

#

btw to top it all off

#

i need the count

cyan quail
#

fwiw you can just attempt to check them all at startup and let it ratelimit since if it does it'll just queue the rest of the operations

Hi i am woking on a stats command but it does not seem to work as I had indented it to work as

#

my server has 200 members but only shows 3 users

image.png
#

I have enabled the intents.members

#

but...

limber urchin
#

How are you fetching the member count? And is member intents enabled in the developer portal?

silent meadow
#

server count is just fine

silent meadow
#

one sec

users = sum([len(guild.members) for guild in client.guilds])
silver moat
#

bot.users exists

silent meadow
silver moat
#

sure

limber urchin
#

There is also guild.member_count instead of len(guild.members)

#

but bot.users is probably the best

silent meadow
silent meadow
#

@silver moat shows 0 now ☠️

image.png
# 
intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.members = True
intents.guilds = True
intents.message_content = True
intents.voice_states = True
#

are these intents correctly enabled?

limber urchin
#

You might as well do discord.Intents.all() at that point

silent meadow
limber urchin
#

but yes, those should be enough for what you're doing

silent meadow
#

still shows 0

#

:/

silver moat
#

how are you applying your intents?

cerulean yacht
#

what the best way to handle errors?

#

like bad argument or something like that

#

is it better to use a global error handler?

silver moat
#

depends

cerulean yacht
#

should i try it convert it in the code without using try and except then use global error handler

silver moat
#

Will an error like this happen in more than one cog/command?

cerulean yacht
#

yex

silver moat
#

Is your method of handling your error the same or similar regardless of command

cerulean yacht
#

same

silver moat
#

use the global handler then.

cerulean yacht
#

👍

#

thanks

silver moat
#

yw

silent meadow
limber urchin
#

No, how are you adding these intents to your bot?

#

that's just defining them

cerulean yacht
#

when you run it?

limber urchin
#

what?

#

that question was not for you

cerulean yacht
#

🤦 sorry

silver moat
silent meadow
#

like how?

#

i dont understand...

#

there is nothing else I did for intents

limber urchin
#

Just defining a variable called intents won't magically make your bot have those intents facepalm

silent meadow
#

i thought that it was enough

silent meadow
#

how do I add them then?

limber urchin
#

You pass them to your bot's init method as a kwarg

silent meadow
#

bro I am living under a rock

#

sheesh

silver moat
#

do you know what a kwarg is?

silent meadow
#

ikik

cerulean yacht
silver moat
#

if isinstance(exception, InvalidId):

cerulean yacht
#

its false 🤔

type of exception is discord.errors.ApplicationCommandInvokeError

Wonders why the bot.process_commands doesnt work for me?

import discord

bot = discord.Bot()
option = discord.Option

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
    print(bot.user)

@bot.event
async def on_message(message):
    # do some extra stuff here

    await bot.process_commands(message)```
```AttributeError: 'Bot' object has no attribute 'process_commands'```
#

What I'm tryna do is to stop the on_message event from preventing slash commands to work

young bone
ocean pumice
#

Okey

#

Well it still prevents other slash commands from working

#

Whenever there's smth going on on the listen, as long as it's not finished slash commands won't work

young bone
ocean pumice
young bone
#

do you have anything else installed?

ocean pumice
#

I don't think so, can't find anything else related to discord

proud mason
#

On message will stop prefix cmds from working

#

discord.Bot does not have prefix cmds in it (see ?tag client)

#

That's why it doesn't have a method called process commands

#

In case you want to get a bit more technical-

#

Overriding on interaction will stop Slash cmds from working

#

To overcome that, you will use bot.process_application_commands

ocean pumice
#

I'm definitely not overriding anything, but I'm still getting blocked by the on_message thing

#

I did put a time.sleep in the on_message to behave things i would do in it, and it is preventing slash commands from working

#

Idk if the time.sleep is logical as it's not asyncio but i guess it is as i'm not going to do asynced things in it

young bone
ocean pumice
# young bone which slash command?

simple one for the moment ```py
@bot.command(guild_ids=[996922553266360360])
async def test(ctx):
if ctx.author == bot.user:
return

await ctx.respond("test")```
young bone
#

thats why the command doesn´t work

#

a bot cannot use slash commands

ocean pumice
#

I put it here by mistake but i think it wasnt working without it too

#

lemme check

#

Yea see

do you have any blocking pieces of code anywhere else in your bot?

proud mason

ocean pumice
#

Now that I’m thinking in it, we shouldn’t use slash commands thaaat much. Like a couple of times a day…. But I still want to prevent the case where it’d not respond

#

I don’t know if I was clear-

timber skiff
#

How would one convert a emoji from it's sting name (ban_hamma, for example) to an emoji object?

proud mason
# ocean pumice I see So eventually what I’m going to do is to read every sing message written ...

it depends on the way you would be checking that. simple stuff like if "abc" in msg.content will be too fast to be blocking. doing that in a loop with 100 iterations probably wont to be noticeable either.
but it does get worse with more and more iterations. and if you have the bot in many high-activity servers, it can sure be bad. using regex patterns can be helpful, but they are a pain in the a**.

proud mason
# ocean pumice Not yet

ah hmm. can you reproduce this error with a very basic bot? that doesnt have anything other than this 1 slash command (and maybe an on ready listener)

#

if that works consistently, i would go on adding the bot's functionality in small chunks till the point it breaks

#

that helps you identify what causes the issue

#

Although i would really suggest setting auto_sync_commands to False

#

as you can get ratelimited

leaden relic
#

if you have multiple servers

and want a button that if you click would allow you to join the other server

how do you do that?

or the only way is for a link button to be attached with the invite link of the other servers or send a message with that link when the button is clicked?

leaden relic
proud mason
calm plume
#

so there is a method like select_user where it selects the user that has reacted by ID

#

and returns a member object

#

bc these are some cases where we quite need it as calling for a list everytime

#

and looping to try and find the author

#

is kinda slow

here you can see that lines 13-16 are skipped

fervent cradle
soft girder
#

How to do without skipping these lines

proud mason
#

rather, subtract 12 (or 13) from i and get object at that position from item2

#

also, you are adding 1 to i at the beginning of the loop block. this will cause you to skip the element at 0 index

#

dont forget that python list index starts from 0

cyan quail
#

what you're looking for doesn't exist on Discord's API, no matter what you have to iterate through reaction users

#

i guess maybe it'd be slightly more convenient by shortening your code by a line or two, but don't expect it to be any "faster"

proud mason
#

that should cut down the time drastically

The bot will only serve in 1 server which has roughly one message every 5 seconds at the most active times, aaand the process for every message shouldn’t exceed 3 seconds I think…. I’ll go like that I guess
I got one last question to try limiting the slash getting timed out. Is it possible de make the wait time longer than 3 seconds? I saw some js bot doing that, I wonder if it’s possible in Python tho

Because you're always returning all members?

Use aiohttp.
requests and urllib are blocking. Do not use these libraries within your asynchronous code as they're not asynchronous.
(https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/faq.html#what-does-blocking-mean)

Py-cord uses aiohttp, so it should already be installed. An example of code using aiohttp and Py-cord:

async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as cs:
    async with cs.get('https://httpbin.org/json%27') as r:
        res = await r.json()  # returns dict
        await ctx.send(res['slideshow']['author'])

Just take the user as an input and query your database for their id

then join the tables in your query

Hey so I got an invalid message and got the discord.HTTPException error. With some debugging this is because of the view. How do I debug an invalid view? What are some things that cause a view to be invalid?

I know for sure that the view isn't empty. Printing out the view's children doesn't result in an empty list (so the view isn't empty).

mind sharing the code?

what should I include?

like i have a table, which should be displayed to the user. it is fetched from an sql db, currently im fetching it as a list of lists with each element of the outer list a row in the db

limber urchin
#

There aren't really any good ways to display tables since the screen width of a user can vary a lot which means you're never guaranteed to display it well. The most failsafe way to do it would be to draw the table out on an image and send the image.

when in @bot.slash_command()
all options are sowing

but when i put them in COG

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

limber urchin

Well, it work but now how it should :

If i don't put any context, it just error.

If i put a command name, it didn't found the slash command i'm searching for.

And when i'm just putting "help" it should send me all the commands like that :

what?

That's what i take from the guide.

I should not.

What's erroring it's that :

But when i call that, it should send me that :

I know, you already said that

So, i'm asking you why ?

I know there's an error, I know what's the error, but i don't know why there's an error in the guide code and i don't know how to fix it.

It means you are only limited to interactions. You cannot interact with events and things.

How can i pass an entire sentence as a parameter? for instance, im trying to make an embed function that needs to take in parameters that can form sentences ```py

embed.add_field(name=name, value=content)
await ctx.message.delete()
await ctx.send(embed=embed)

i need title description name and content to be able to be sentences

silver moat

Ok, ill try that

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

How would i make it so a slash command can be removed and readded to a guild (its alright if it has to be a guild-only command instead of a global)
Example:
Say im a server admin and there's some command i wanna disable, instead of having to tell people "sorry this command is disabled" the command itself can disappear so people instantly know instead of having to run it only to be disappointed

My bot is only for 1 server, it doesn't have to scale to different servers

I am trying to use the same SlashCommandGroup in 2 different cogs, but it give me the errors discord.errors.HTTPException: 400 Bad Request (error code: 50035): Invalid Form Body In 3: Application command names must be unique

#

I have made sure the names are different for the commands in bot of the cogs

#

Is it possible to have the same SlashCommandGroup in 2 different cogs ?

silver moat

silver moat
undone falcon
#

I am not sure it is working anymore I just tried 2 of the 3 method listed and it did not work

silver moat
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

undone falcon
#

do I really need to put all the commands of a same group in one file ...

silver moat
#

yes

undone falcon
#

I hope you wont have to do this in v3 !

silver moat
#

open a feature request then

undone falcon
#

On v2 or v3 ?

silver moat
#

which ever one you want it to be on

#

could be both

#

but I suggest v2 first

#

because v3 is always prone to change

undone falcon
#

I see will try v2 first ! I just found pretty bad to have a class that is 1500 lines of codes

silver moat
#

usually I would have helper functions that would make things have way less files

#

I think I'm being dumb. I mean having way less lines

undone falcon
#

yeah but I mean I cant use the same SlashcommandGroup anywhere else, so I can really put those method in a other class and file 😦

silver moat
#

you could split the commands into smaller sections

undone falcon
#

with like sub-groups ?

silver moat
#

I mean each individual command may have similar/overlapping code

undone falcon
#

oh no they dont, otherwise it would already be in a function

#

The best I could think of is have the commands calling a method in a other file to implements it elsewhere

silver moat
#

1.5k lines isn't something I would worry about

undone falcon
#

yeah it is not the end of the work, but if I add more, which I will, it will because ridiculously big

#

(1.5k is already way to big in my opinion to)

#

makes the code a lot less readable

silver moat
#

It's not that unreadable. As long as it is ordered in a reasonable way and follows PEP styling guidelines, it is ok

#

The point of cogs is group similar commands together. SCG do the same thing

undone falcon
#

It force to put some methods that dont belong with each other in the same class. For exemple, I have a "add" SlashCommandGroup. add can add multiple type of object in the bot. So I would have a class For Object1, Object2 ..., and in each of them I have add, remove, show SlashCommandGroup

silver moat
#

why not just import them?

young bone
#

I saw people with like 3k lines of code in one file

undone falcon
undone falcon
limber urchin
#

The number of lines doesn't really matter that much as long as you can navigate the code

undone falcon
#

well at 3k lines of code in a single file, it is clearly not the best way to navigate the

#

you have to scroll down so much until you find what you want

#

You have a bunch of things that dont belong together

#

This is really bad code quality

silver moat
#

Find exists and Jump to Source exists

limber urchin
#

3k lines of code can definitely be related, sometimes splitting code into multiple files can be more confusing. You can use ctrl + F and ctrl + shift + O in VS Code to navigate very easily.

#

There is also the numbered bookmarks extension which I use a lot in big files

undone falcon
#

As long as the class have a single-responsibility, it is good. Some class are also just a Facade to the main interface, which will be longer for sure

limber urchin
#

But yes, if you can split your code up into smaller modules you should.

Here's the slash cog groups example.

Just note that unlike traditional. Where you could have the base command do something.
!hello
!hello welcome
You cannot do this with slash groups. You have to call the subcommand.

Oh is it similar to @bot.group

#

And then @groupname.command

#

I think traditionally that was a thing

#

I'll check the example out thanks!

it can be released as either 2.4.1 or 2.5.0

SQL Injection is a technique used by attackers to interfere with and alter queries that an application makes to its database via input data. A vulnerability to this exploit can lead to attackers being able to read sensitive data, modify existing data (Insert/Update/Delete), perform administrative operations on your database and in some cases even issue commands directly to the operating system of the server.

More information on SQL Injection
https://www.w3schools.com/sql/sql_injection.asp
https://owasp.org/www-community/attacks/SQL_Injection

To avoid SQL Injection vulnerability, you should never directly merge or concatenate data into an SQL query through string operations (f-strings, + operator, string interpolation with %, etc.). Always use the parameterized queries included with the library you are using.

Examples of parameterized queries for popular libraries
psycopg2: https://www.psycopg.org/docs/usage.html#passing-parameters-to-sql-queries

I need to make sure that I write this command 16 times.

#

And at 17 times this command should stop issuing roll

cyan quail
#

Oh so you're gonna run it on discord 16 times

limber urchin

You never insert anything to your database? So it's always going to be empty

soft girder

Неее.

this is the problem. How to track the amount of command usage?

You don't need to specify global count. count is accessible from your event anyways. And keep in mind that 0 % 100 == 0 is true.

Oh. And can you confirm you have the latest py-cord version, and no other libraries that conflict with the "discord" namespace. Like dpy

ctx.respond should handle that internally

limber urchin
fervent cradle

This is the first time in the code

ah nevermind

i have a typo

I need that the selector gets removed

so that message need to be edited. But with too many users selected, the bot takes some time to process and the menu times out

proud mason
proud mason
shy crow
proud mason
#

Alr that's fine

would save some time if possible

You can collect the set_permissions calls into a list of coroutines and use asyncio.gather to run them concurrently.

shy crow
limber urchin
# 
coroutines_to_run = []
for x in y:

If you have a long time consuming blocking functions, use asyncio.to_thread to run it

But not all bots are large and need verification

            return
        mute_role = discord.utils.get(ctx.guild.roles, name="Muted")
        if not mute_role:
            mute_role = await ctx.guild.create_role(name="Muted", reason="Used for muting users")
            for channel in ctx.guild.channels:
                await channel.set_permissions(mute_role, send_messages=False)
        await user.add_roles(mute_role, reason="Muted by {}".format(ctx.author.name))
        await ctx.send("{} has been muted.".format(user.name))

the command works and mutes a person but discord gives me the "this application did not respond" error every time i use it
how can i fix this?

I'm new to async. Why is the bot not listening for any other commands while the first is running.
The first takes a while as it has to pull/update data.
I believe all the functions in the update sequence are awaited.

#

That is impossible to say if you don't show your code

sweet coyote
#

its thousands of lines

limber urchin
#

thousands of lines for one command to fetch data???

sweet coyote
#

well the command isnt but its broken up into several smaller functions across multiple files. It has to establish and pull data from a game api. I might make a post and try and get all the relevant functions

limber urchin
#

And how are you fetching the data from the api?

sweet coyote
#

concurrent futures threadpoolexecutor

limber urchin
#

can you please just show the code to fetch the data from the API?

sweet coyote
#

It was using an open source library from git. Do i have to modify it to await those functions aswell?

limber urchin
#

The library is probably using a blocking method to make the HTTP requests then.

tranquil sandal
sweet coyote
limber urchin
#

Why are you using a library anyways? Just make the requests yourself, that's just overcomplicating something very simple

sweet coyote
#

because it was easier getting started 🤷‍♂️
I almost redid it at the start then was like i will see how far i can get with the generic code provided by the api. I guess i found its limit.

# limber urchin what

i mean example db.collection.insert_once({"userId": userId})

or

class User:
    def __init__(self, userId):
        db.collection.insert_once({"userId": userId})
    
User(userId=3216549876132)

1st one looks right. 2nd one seems redundant. there isnt a need for classes to do that.

ohh hm

I guess it's like writing your own ORM in a way

proud mason
#

just use an ODM (ORM for mongo) at this point ngl. Beanie might be a good choice

But there's nothing wrong with using straight up queries in your code without a class, it's just personal preference

thanks i'll continue what i was doing then and migrate from pymongo to motor

limber urchin
#

The only downside I can see to using raw queries in your code is that you might have a bunch of duplicate queries everywhere as opposed to just having a class. So if your table structures change or something like that you only need to change one place.

I just reached 100 commands on my bot, and noticed that I can't add anymore. Is there any way to bypass this command limit for slash commands?

Saying it doesn't work or asking what's wrong with this code is not helpful for yourself or others.
Describe what you expect and/or tried (with your code), and what isn't going right.
Please provide any errors you get for optimal assistance.

error discord.errors.InteractionResponded: This interaction has already been responded to before

You can only respond once to an interaction. Sending a modal is considered as a response.

so im trying to create a bot command with buttons on it on python 3.10 but everytime i try to import discord_components package it's giving me an error that the module doesn't exist and some people told me to downgrade to python 3.9 because it doesn't work on py 3.10 or py below 3.9 only works on 3.9 is that true? (for anyone who have drop-down menus / buttons commands)

proud mason
#

Pycord already has built in components

cyan talon
# proud mason Why are you using discord_components

This is where im getting an error, dont i need to have this imported?:

from discord_slash.utils import manage_components
from discord_slash.model import SlashMessage
from discord_slash.utils.manage_components import create_select_option, create_select_menu, create_actionrow
from discord_slash import SlashCommand, SlashContext, create_option

#

import buttons

#

Make sure to uninstall all discord libraries and reinstall pycord

#

?tag install

  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
