Basic Pycord Help (Quick Questions Only)

[thorny kindle]

Oh Ok

How would i fix it?

[young bone]

channel = discord.utils.get(message.guild.text_channels, id=123)

[solemn idol]

thanks, done it.

If anyone is ever interested:

async def category_autocomplete(ctx: discord.AutocompleteContext):
    return [cat for cat, cog in bot.cogs.items() if cog.get_commands()]

@bot.slash_command(name="help", description="Displays the help menu.")
@option("category", description="Choose a category.", autocomplete=category_autocomplete, required=False, default=None)
async def help(ctx: discord.ApplicationContext, category: str,):
    # Custom code from here;

[thorny kindle]

Si that client.get_channel doesnt work then?

[young bone]

not everytime

[thorny kindle]

Oh ok

Its still not working. Same error but different line

[young bone]

ok, try fetch_channel

[thorny kindle]

So just fetch_channel(id)?

[young bone]

await fetch_channel

[thorny kindle]

Nope, "fetch_channel" is not defined

[young bone]

...

client.fetch_channel?

[thorny kindle]

Nope

[young bone]

can you show the code?

[full basin]

dont tell me youre using discord.Client.fetch_channel

instead of an actual object

[thorny kindle]

@bot.event
async def on_message(message):
    await client.fetch_channel(1029735370969055293)
    print(f'Message from {message.author}: {message.content}')
    await channel.send(f'Message from {message.author}: {message.content}')

[young bone]

where is the channel =?

[thorny kindle]

Oh. I thought i had to remove it cuz of the await bit

But after adding it is still has an error.

[full basin]

Where client defined

Where did you define it

Because you're clearly using an instance called bot not client

[frail matrix]

can anyone help me with persistent views? i made a thread about it but i havent got much of a response

[full basin]

What's the thread

[frail matrix]

Select menu persistent view

[thorny kindle]

Above the bot.event

Was something like client = discord.client then some stuff in brackets

[limber urchin]

Why do you have both bot and client defined then?

[thorny kindle]

They are both different?

[limber urchin]

?

[thorny kindle]

Ive always had bot defined, but only defined client last night, but they are both different aren't they?

[limber urchin]

oh man...

Why do you need both of them?

There is literally no reason to have both, it will only break things

[silver moat]

client is useless since it was not initialized/connected to gateway/there's probably a better term for this.

[limber urchin]

This is like the third time I tell you this, learn Python OOP before using pycord

Stick to #help-rules or find another server

[thorny kindle]

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix=">", intents=intents)
client = discord.Client(activity=discord.Game(name='Lightbulb MC'))

[thorny kindle]

Ok

[meager heron]

What would cause ctx.channel to be a PartialMessageable instead of a channel?

[silver moat]

ctx as in?

[meager heron]

ApplicationContext

[silver moat]

.rtfm interaction.channel

[winter condor]

2 results

discord.Interaction.channel
discord.Interaction.channel_id

[silver moat]

Note that due to a Discord limitation, DM channels are not resolved since there is
no data to complete them. These are :class:PartialMessageable instead.

[meager heron]

It’s not a DM channel. Guild name shows up in my error log, and the command itself has commands.guild_only

[proud mason]

The channel could be missing from the cache

[meager heron]

How would that happen?

[proud mason]

Well if no activity happened in the channel for a long time, then the library can remove the channel from the cache to utilise the memory for other stuff

Or it could be random, in not sure

[frail matrix]

How do I pass arguments from a slash command into a ui view, like a select menu?

[meager heron]

Cool, thank you. I added a fallback

Does bot.fetch_channel automatically place the fetched channel in the cache?

[limber urchin]

You should never rely on anything being cached.

Just get things from the cache, if it returns None, use the API to fetch it instead

[proud mason]

I would generally subclass View and pass my stuff in the init

For passing options to select menus, i will subclass ui.Select and accept them in the init

[frail matrix]

ok ill try that, thanks

[proud mason]

iirc, no

Partial messageable is enough for sending messages if that's what you want to do

[meager heron]

Nah, I need it for checking permissions

[proud mason]

ah yes then you would need the channel object

[fallen cove]

any recommendations for a VPS that allows you to run a Lavalink server and discord bot together?

[tardy kindle]

hi
so i cannot load cogs
i had coded this bot like when discord py existed and changed it to pycord but idk how to fix this error

and this is how i load the cog inside the files

[proud mason]

tbh any vps with over 2gb of ram can handle this easily

i think thats probably a lot too

[fallen cove]

it more of who can run java and python on the same VPS

currently on pebble host and they dont currently support it on their python discord bot hosting plan

[proud mason]

each playing track takes smth like 350KBs as per lavaplayer docs. and my avg discord bots take around 100MB of memory.

[tardy kindle]

i did that too

await client.load_extension() but it gave some error out of function

[proud mason]

uninstall dpy

?tag replit

[obtuse junco]

https://gist.github.com/JustaSqu1d/992d7d95c44420f5edd5b0741b7915aa

[tardy kindle]

no see

my bto is comign online n all

but only the cogs isnt loading, i put a commmand in main.py and it worked but the other commands in cogs dont

i did the uninstalling discordpy and other things already

[proud mason]

python telling you to await load_extension is a pure indication that dpy wasnt uninstalled. since py-cord is a fork of dpy, it has a lot of shared code

thats why it was working earlier

[proud mason]

https://tenor.com/view/are-you-sure-john-cena-ru-sure-about-dat-gif-14258954

[tardy kindle]

yea like 239448849 months ago

[proud mason]

see this on how to do it correctly

[tardy kindle]

leme just do it gain it might be diff rn

[tardy kindle]

yea thanks

um

my .replit is completely different from the other .replit

nvm nvm

[young bone]

discord.py...

[tardy kindle]

ok i installed py-cord in a new repl cause the other repl was an older version

[young bone]

I would not use repl

[tardy kindle]

i am on a chrome book right now :prau

[young bone]

You can install Linux and VS Code

[tardy kindle]

i know

[proud mason]

Nice. Did that fix stuff?

Oh btw vscode online is a better ide than replit lol

[fervent cradle]

How can I deselect the users choice in a select menu? I'm creating a Ticket system with a select menu and after the user selects a topic a modal opens. Now I want that the bot deselect the users choice before the modal opens

[proud mason]

i believe you would need to edit the message with a fresh instance of the select menu

[fervent cradle]

ok, I will try it

that worked, thanks

[proud mason]

cool

[ocean pumice]

@bot.command(guild_ids = [996922553266360360])
async def unsubscribe_the_server(ctx, 
guild_id: discord.Option(int, "Description", default = discord.Message.guild.id)):```
```    guild_id: discord.Option(int, "Description", default = discord.Message.guild.id)):
AttributeError: 'member_descriptor' object has no attribute 'id'``` 

What's the correct way to get the guild id?

[ocean pumice]

I found a way around, but i'd like to know if it's still possible to do this in this manner (seems like it isn't tho)

[silver moat]

slash command parameters are meant to be static, not dynamic

[lethal nexus]

Using discord.on_thread_create how can I determine if it's a forum thread or a channel thread? And then how can I tell which forum it's come from?

[silver moat]

.rtfm thread.parent

[winter condor]

2 results

discord.Thread.parent
discord.Thread.parent_id

[lethal nexus]

Thanks, also is on_thread_remove when a thread is closed?

[proud mason]

Default it to None and in your code do guild_id = guild_id or ctx.guild.id

Easiest and cleanest way to do it

[ocean pumice]

yup that's what I did x) thanks

[proud mason]

Haha np

[cyan quail]

that'd be on_thread_update

[lethal nexus]

Thanks, one last thing, how would I get my bot to close/delete a thread?

[shy crow]

Anyone has an idea how I can do that commands can't executed in Text-in-voice anymore? Only in normal text channels

[undone mulch]

Is there a way to reload a slash command cog without restarting the bot? I have 250 slash commands and every restart = rate limit for the entire day.

I wanna update the code in commands without restarting

[silver moat]

you can disable auto_sync_commands if you did not update the actual command structure.

and you can restart just fine without ratelimits

[undone mulch]

So every restart it won't delete/readd the slash command? How would I do that?

[silver moat]

bot.auto_sync_commands = False

[undone mulch]

Alright thank you 🙏

[proud mason]

or just in the constructor like so bot = discord.Bot(..., auto_sync_commands = False)

[undone mulch]

client = commands.Bot(command_prefix=commands.when_mentioned_or(db["prefix"]),case_insensitive=True,intents=intents, auto_sync_commands = False)```

Can I do this?

[proud mason]

sure

looks right

[undone mulch]

kk

[glad remnant]

Hey, I want to create select menu. Let say I have json file and want to create option for each key. Anyone could hoke me up with some guide or doc link how to achieve that?

• how to I "call" json data into class MyView(discord.ui.View):

[alpine kernel]

mmm dunno if you can pass data into a view, but I'll tell you what I do: I just start a view, and when the view gets interacted with, do a self.stop() (or not if the view needs to continue being interacted with) and return the state of the view, then do whatever with the data in the view calling function

[proud mason]

subclass ui.View and ui.Select
pass options list to view init. in there create a Select menu and pass this list to the options parameter

use view.add_item to add it

[glad remnant]

Will try Thanks

[warm spire]

When i use channel_select, the select dropdown does not include all channels (cuts off at 15 channels). Is there any way to list all text channels (30+) in a server or remove certain channels if there is a max limit?

[dusk burrow]

hey i get this error when trying to view the "exempt_roles" property of an "AutoModRule"

[lethal nexus]

I want to lock a thread if someone presses the archive button on it. I've attached my code below but I get an error saying the post is already archived. Is there any way of locking a thread without "archiving" it?

Code:

@bot.event
async def on_thread_update(before, after):

    if not before.archived and after.archived:
        await after.archive(locked=True)

I changed the last line to await after.edit and it still doesn't work.

This is the error I was receiving:

Ignoring exception in on_thread_update
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.8/dist-packages/discord/client.py", line 377, in _run_event
    await coro(*args, **kwargs)
  File "main.py", line 1904, in on_thread_update
    await after.edit(locked=True)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.8/dist-packages/discord/threads.py", line 677, in edit
    data = await self._state.http.edit_channel(self.id, **payload, reason=reason)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.8/dist-packages/discord/http.py", line 366, in request
    raise HTTPException(response, data)
discord.errors.HTTPException: 400 Bad Request (error code: 50083): Thread is archived

I temporarily go around it by unarchiving the post, then locking it. Is there a cleaner was of doing that?

[full basin]

"Thread is archived"..

You're literally checking if it's archived and you're trying to archive it again

[full basin]

It should display 25 but the user can type and search other channels not displayed.

[tired goblet]

Is it possible to generate different choices for a slash command option depending on the user who is going to be invoking that command?

Hypothetical usecase:

For a bot that manages a card game, a user has to play a hand by picking a card from their deck. The play slash command let's user "pick" a card from their existing deck.

The pick part is where custom choices would be generated depending upon the user

[young bone]

maybe if you reload the cog? but Im not sure

[limber urchin]

Choices can not be altered after runtime, for that to be possible you would have to re-register the command every time someone tried to use it. Your best bet is autocomplete.

[tired goblet]

Ah okay, thanks

[young bone]

you also could use a select menu for that but they have a limit of 25

[tired goblet]

Oh right, makes more sense

[loud holly]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1043576797423468574/__1088273049398296628__/diffuse.png

what type of object ID is the number that second long digit number?

first one Ik is channel, but I have no idea what the other one is

I tried to check for message ID, it didn't match up, guild ID not

[young bone]

for what do you need this?

[loud holly]

recovering deleted images for my server

[silver moat]

attachment ID

[young bone]

Isn´t discord auto deleting files after some time?

I saw it with images

[silver moat]

not sure. My guess is no

[silver moat]

maybe if the message with the attachment is deleted?

[limber urchin]

I'm pretty sure attachments are deleted after 1 month of not being accessed or something, not sure though

[silver moat]

I mean I'm able to access attachments from like 4 years ago lol.

[limber urchin]

After reading a bit it seems like attachments do stay as long as the message containing them isn't deleted

[frank shale]

Is it possible to change the logging of the botclient to a specific file?

[limber urchin]

What is "the logging of the botclient"?

[proud mason]

yes i believe

[frank shale]

Actually it is a bit broader. How can I specify the log file in pycord?

Earlier I used the logging module and everything would just pile up in one file. So now I write certain parts to a certain file. But that is my own code, I am not sure how to specify the log file in pycord. Or just the logger

[proud mason]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/logging.html

[frank shale]

Thanks!
This line is what i was looking for:
logger = logging.getLogger('discord')

So that reads basically out as: get the logger of the module 'discord'

Never used that func before

[proud mason]

more like "get the logger object which has the name 'discord' "

[limber urchin]

Loggers have the following attributes and methods. Note that Loggers should NEVER be instantiated directly, but always through the module-level function logging.getLogger(name). Multiple calls to getLogger() with the same name will always return a reference to the same Logger object.

[proud mason]

many modules can use a logger with the same name

[glad remnant]

Hey, Im trying to use this code inside of slash command. Select menu sending as respond, but cant figure out how to get user select response. Thanks for help

view = discord.ui.View()
options = []
for key, values in from_station.items():
    options.append(discord.SelectOption(label = key))
select = discord.ui.Select(placeholder="Select a station", options=options, max_values = 1, min_values= 1)
view.add_item(select)
message = await ctx.respond('Select a station', view = view)```

[limber urchin]

What do you mean by "get user select response"?

[frank shale]

Oki thanks

[glad remnant]

Something like this

async def select_callback(self, select, interaction): # the function called when the user is done selecting options
        await interaction.response.send_message(f"Awesome! I like {select.values[0]} too!")```

[limber urchin]

But you don't have a user select anywhere in that code

If all you want is to define a callback on your select you can do
select.select_callback = my_callback_method

Or just use subclassing, since that's way easier

[frank shale]

Yea read the docs, but sometimes you can get lost in the jungle and a little guidance in the right derection helps alot. Appreciated!

[glad remnant]

Can you link me up with some guide 🙏

[limber urchin]

Guide for what?

[glad remnant]

How to fix it properly

[limber urchin]

There isn't a guide for everything

It's easy, just define a method and set it to the select_callback attribute of your select instance

[glad remnant]

view = discord.ui.View()
options = []
for key, values in from_station.items():
    options.append(discord.SelectOption(label = key))
select = discord.ui.Select(placeholder="Select a station", options=options, max_values = 1, min_values= 1)

select.callback = select_callback
view.add_item(select)
message = await ctx.respond('Select a station', view = view)```

```python
async def select_callback(select: discord.ui.Select, interaction: discord.Interaction):
    value = select.values[0]
    await interaction.response.send_message(f"You selected {value}.")```

Is it something similiar to this? Or Its completely wrong

[limber urchin]

.tias

[winter condor]

https://i.imgur.com/VkRzeQJ.png

[glad remnant]

Yeah its not working , thats why im asking if im on correct or wrong track

[limber urchin]

I can't help you if all you have is "its not working"

[glad remnant]

Got it, just in case someone searching too.

options = []
for key, values in from_station.items():
    options.append(discord.SelectOption(label = key))
select = discord.ui.Select(placeholder="Select a station", options=options, max_values = 1, min_values= 1)

async def my_callback(interaction):
    #await interaction.response.send_message(f'You selected {interaction.data["values"][0]}')
    await interaction.channel.send(f'You selected {interaction.data["values"][0]}')
select.callback = my_callback
view = discord.ui.View(timeout=20)
view.add_item(select)
await ctx.respond('Found multiple stations', view = view, ephemeral=True)```

In case someone searching too 😉

[heady fractal]

Is it possible to use slash commands as a reply to someone?

Like: I reply to a message with /remindme 1 and the bot sets a reminder for 1 hour with a link to that message. I already had this logic done with the normal commands but I can't seem to get it done with slash commands. It says the application did not respond even though I respond with the code

    @discord.slash_command()
    async def remindme(self, ctx, days: int, hours: int, minutes: int):
        # It's basically the same idea as the reminder command, but instead it works when you reply to a message.
        if not ctx.message.reference:
            await ctx.respond("In order to use this command, you need to reply to a message.")
            return 
        total_seconds: float = days * 86400 + hours * 3600 + minutes * 60
        current_timestamp = datetime.now().timestamp()
        final_timestamp = current_timestamp + total_seconds
        async with ReminderManager() as rm:
            await rm.create_reminder(ctx.author.id, final_timestamp, ctx.message.reference.jump_url)
            await self.get_reminders()
        await ctx.respond("Reminder added!")

[proud mason]

slash cmds do not have ctx.message

[heady fractal]

Ah

[proud mason]

what you could do is, create a message command (context menu), and send a modal to get the time input

or you could accept the message link as a parameter

[heady fractal]

So just have a command with a prefix and use a modal for the time instead of typing it in

Good idea

[proud mason]

command with a prefix
uh no? i meant the cmds you get when you right click a message on discord

is there a way to force integer inputs in the modals?

[limber urchin]

Not right now, Discord does not support it (yet)

The best you can do is validate it on submission and send the user a message if they didn't enter a valid number.

[heady fractal]

Alrighty, thanks

[distant roost]

Does someone know how these apps are called? I mean the Apps you see when you click a a user’s profile or a message

[silver moat]

context menu commands

[distant roost]

Ah thx

[heady fractal]

is there an easy way to disable slash commands based on user roles?

[young bone]

with has_role you could check if the user would have a role

[heady fractal]

Yeah but that doesn’t actually hide the command or like show it as disabled from the list, no?

[young bone]

you can only hide the command with defaul_permissions

[distant roost]

How do i require a channel in an command(like !channel #channel) channel:discord.channel doesn’t work

[ornate current]

Quick database question, Should i make multiple collections and store it in one database or make seperate databases for each type of data (such as guild data, user data, reports etc). [Mongo DB]

[young bone]

discord.TextChannel

[distant roost]

Ah thanks i user discord.channel the whole time and it didn’t worked

[limber urchin]

You should only have one database with multiple collections for each type of data

[solemn idol]

Is there an alternative for @commands.is_owner() ? I almost have got everything on import discord, I was trying to refrain from using discord.ext

[cyan quail]

not really, why?

all checks are a part of the extension

you could just do from discord.ext.commands import is_owner

[green hinge]

How can I edit this view/message without triggering the ratelimit?

await interaction.response.send_message(embed=embed, view=self.view)```

[limber urchin]

You can't edit a message without being rate limited

That's the whole point of a rate limit

[green hinge]

That means if I add a button here to the view then it triggers the ratelimit?

messageembed = await interaction.response.send_message(embed=embed, view=self.view)
self.view.add_item(SpeedAgain(self.bot, self.spotdaten))
messageembed.edit_original_response(embed=embed, view=self.view)```

[limber urchin]

No? Adding one button won't get you rate limited.

If you edit a message more than 5 times every 5 seconds, yes, you will be rate limited

[green hinge]

Okay I have a view with a select menu and when I select something the view is edited and another select menu is added. I can put a maximum of 5 select menus in the view. Then I conclude that I should not have any problems with this?

[limber urchin]

.tias

[winter condor]

https://i.imgur.com/VkRzeQJ.png

[green hinge]

So it works. But the thoughts I have is, if a lot of users do this at the same time, can I get problems?

[limber urchin]

If a lot of users are causing the same message to be edited, yes, you will have to limit that. If every user has their own message, then no.

[green hinge]

Okay every user has his own message, then I should not have any problems

[green hinge]

Discord itself says the following:
Interaction endpoints are not bound to the bot's Global Rate Limit.

Do these two things count then or?

interaction.response.send_message
interaction.channel.send

[limber urchin]

Editing and sending messages are not part of interaction endpoints

[green hinge]

Okay then are the two things both part for the ratelimit correct?

[limber urchin]

And the global rate limit has nothing to do with that either, each endpoint has its own rate limit on top of the global rate limit

Just like the docs say, the global rate limit is 50 requests per second

But the message edit endpoint has a 5/5s rate limit

[green hinge]

Does it make a difference in the two variants when I send the message?
Related to the ratelimit

interaction.response.send_message
interaction.channel.send

[limber urchin]

Why do you have two %s?

And why on earth are you using different naming conventions for your variables? Why not just stick to one?

[fervent cradle]

Ignore that, To be removed

[limber urchin]

And what is this line supposed to do?
bot_ids = ({new_ids})

[limber urchin]

Ignore it? You asked what's wrong with your code, that's one of them

[fervent cradle]

Edited, And the line was supposed to store the bot ids into a variable, not sure what i exactly was doing there

[limber urchin]

The line doesn't make any sense and won't even work

[fervent cradle]

Yeah, reliasing that now

[limber urchin]

And why are you committing and closing a connection that hasn't been opened? And why are you executing the same query twice, but once without a parameter?

[fervent cradle]

It has been opened, Just didnt involve it in the code as the connect code had my db pass

[young bone]

?tag idw

[obtuse junco]

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.

[limber urchin]

So why are you trying to loop over a variable that isn't even declared? And why are you executing twice?

[fervent cradle]

Where? am i missing smth?

[limber urchin]

Did you read your own code?

So to answer your question, basically everything is wrong with your code. Conclusion, learn python and read the docs of the libraries you are using.

[fervent cradle]

    bot_ids = []
    new_ids = [guild_id for guild_id in bot_ids if guild_id not in db_ids]
    InsertIds = "INSERT INTO  serverinfo (ServerID) VALUES (%s)"
    cursor.execute(InsertIds)
    Connection.commit()
    Connection.close()
``` Little updated, still need to fix the top though

[limber urchin]

You're looping over an empty list, storing it in a variable, and then never use it again. What are you even doing?

[fervent cradle]

I am trying to get all the server ids, compare them to the server ids already in my database, then insert missing ones

[limber urchin]

Where are you getting all the server ids?

[fervent cradle]

Here:
new_ids = [guild_id for guild_id in bot_ids if guild_id not in db_ids]
Although obviously is wrong (Fixing atm)

[limber urchin]

Bruh, bot_ids is literally an empty list. How would looping over that get all server ids?

Is this even pycord?

[fervent cradle]

have u sent ur code

[limber urchin]

When googling for that error I only see "autocode" and "javascript"

Why did you set auto_sync_commands to False?

Oh my lord

How do you have that many slash commands?

[young bone]

how?

[limber urchin]

I can't even imagine what you would need 300 commands for

Guess their issue was solved 🤷‍♂️

deleted all messages

[young bone]

what

why?

[limber urchin]

god knows

So instead of posting a solution for others to see, you delete all your messages? Interesting method

[young bone]

[limber urchin]

I guess they were embarrassed about having a question posted in this channel

[solemn idol]

Hmm nothing, I was just confused why I can use discord.Bot in some cases and in others I can just use commands from discord.ext

[cyan quail]

Well basically, before slash commands existed discord.Bot didn't exist; all command related functions were in ext.commands

Then when slash commands were introduced, discord.Bot was added so you could have slash commands without prefix commands

[solemn idol]

so why not just add it to discord.ext then?

[cyan quail]

Some stuff was moved over to the core lib like cogs, but for the most part all the other functions remain in the extension

[solemn idol]

.-. okay

[cyan quail]

Since slash commands are "official", they are in the main library

That being said, essentially everything in ext.commands is still compatible with slash commands

[solemn idol]

yeah I know I know, its just, would be nice to have everything in one I suppose, so you dont have to import discord and then discord.ext for permissions, but can just import discord and have permission decorators in that too :P

but ig that wont happen since permissions havent really changed, and are slash command compatible

[cyan quail]

Well there are permission decorators in the main lib, but that's specifically slash command default perms

[limber urchin]

Keep in mind that pycord v2 is still a fork of discord.py, they can't refactor the entire lib since that'd basically just be pycord v3

[solemn idol]

kk

thanks :)

[green hinge]

Is there a way to do this without having to use channel.send for the second message?
There are two different views so I can't work with followup 😬

self.view.add_item(ChangeSpeed(self.bot, self.spotdaten))
await interaction.response.send_message(embed=embed, view=self.view)
await interaction.channel.send( view = await View(self.bot, self.spotdaten))```

[solemn idol]

What exactly do you mean with two different views? (I might be able to help you but I am not entirely sure)

[grizzled sentinel]

I think all followup does is channel.send. what is the issue with how it is now?

[green hinge]

I'm generally a bit bothered that with channel.send the message is posted directly under the previous one and with response.send_message reference is made to the previous message and the bot name is always in between.

[grizzled sentinel]

You could try chanel.send on both views. (And respond to the first with a different message) That might get rid of the gap.
Overall that is something that is on the discord client side and there is no way to control it with pycord.

[leaden relic]

are there any decorators for limiting interactions by role? like in commands

@commands.has_role("member")

the only way i can think of rn is to check if the user who interacted has a role equal to the set role

[proud mason]

Can I somehow remove elements from View3 when I change something in View1?

await interaction.channel.send( view = View1(self.bot))
await interaction.channel.send( view = View2(self.bot))
await interaction.channel.send( view = View3(self.bot))```

[proud mason]

Yea i don't think you can. You could in the old perms system

[hearty stirrup]

so uhh is it possible to make a bot that send message like this? this from NQN

[full basin]

[hearty stirrup]

aight thanks

[green hinge]

Can I remove items from View3 when I change something in View1 or do I only save the message object and have no access to the view?

thisview = await interaction.channel.send( view = View1(self.bot))
nextview =await interaction.channel.send( view = View2(self.bot))
lastview = await interaction.channel.send( view = View3(self.bot))

lastview.remove_item()```

[solemn idol]

or you make a has_role decorator yourself :D

[thorny kindle]

Hi, Ive went off and learned about the python OOP so i know about that now. Ive managed to change some stuff around to define client but now im just getting an error saying client.fetch_channel(id) doesnt have the ID in it when it actually does.

@bot.event
async def on_message(message):
    channel = await client.fetch_channel(1029735370969055293)
    print(f'Message from {message.author}: {message.content}')
    await channel.send(f'Message from {message.author}: {message.content}')

Ive brought it into vsc and it says this in the parameters (image below) . So id have to put something in front of the ID for it to notice the ID, But idk what to put.

[leaden relic]

i mean i tried it on @discord.ui.button() but it did not work

[solemn idol]

No I mean you define a function which will work as your decorator 😶

[novel jay]

Iirc, it should get get_channel and not awaited, also you should probably sort by guild like channel = message.guild.get_channel(123) or something like that i can't remember very well

discord.errors.ApplicationCommandInvokeError: Application Command raised an exception: Forbidden: 403 Forbidden (error code: 50013): Missing Permissions

I solved this with custom errors by inheriting from ApplicationCommandInvokeError instead of Exception, but i would like to know how to do this with built-in exceptions as well

[heady fractal]

I have a slash command that takes several minutes to finish running. I’m using ctx.defer() right now but I want to implement a custom loading message. Is it possible to replace the “thinking…” message with my own message? Or would I have to make the bot create a new message just for the loading msg while it also has that thinking message above it

[solemn idol]

iirc command doesn't have permission to perform it's actions, could be bot permissions. Either it doesn't have perms in the guild or something on the discord dev portal, not sure though.

[full basin]

Send a response and then edit the message instead of deffering

[last mason]

Won't that error if the command takes a long time to finish

i thought that was the point of using defer

[full basin]

Why?..

You already respond

Instead of telling discord you need more time to send a reply, you send respond instantly and then edit the same message

[somber pelican]

I know what forbidden is

I'm asking how to make the exception be an instance of forbidden instead of applicationcommandinvokeerror

The error cause is pretty obvious from the exception message

[last mason]

oh i see

makes sense. thanks

[solemn idol]

Oh sorry completely missed that
I'm not sure how to do it with built in exceptions tho.

[proud mason]

Wait i think i remember smth. How are you adding your error handler?

I think you are to add it using bot.listen

Can I remove items from View3 when I change something in View1 or do I only save the message object and have no access to the view?

thisview = await interaction.channel.send( view = View1(self.bot))
nextview =await interaction.channel.send( view = View2(self.bot))
lastview = await interaction.channel.send( view = View3(self.bot))

lastview.remove_item()```

[wary rover]

Can you give more context? I can't understand

[green hinge]

I have 3 views and each view has 5 select menus.
When I select something in the select menu another select menu is added to the view.
That means in the end I have 3 views with 15 select menus.
If I now change something in the very first select menu in View1, I want that in View2 and View3 also only the first select menu is displayed and the other 4 select menus are removed. But I don't know how to access View2 and View3 from View1 to remove the elements from the view.

[proud mason]

what wrong with that?

i suggest using bot.load_extensions("folder_name") instead of manually looping and loading each file individually (notice the S at the end)

[wary rover]

With a listdir you have "\" in the link.
Print your file and you will see.

This is my cog load script.

https://github.com/Ted-18/Bot.Assistant/blob/master/BotAssistant/services/serviceCogLoad.py

if os.name == 'nt':
  cogPath = root.replace("\\", ".") + "." + importedFile.cogFile
elif os.name == 'posix':
  cogPath = root.replace("/", ".") + "." + importedFile.cogFile
else:
  Logger.system("OS: Unknown")

[proud mason]

ngl this is much simpler

[wary rover]

Not if it decides to add and remove .py files

He wants to make it dynamic, that's what I did too.

[proud mason]

uh?? bot.load_extensions is for loading .py files only

[wary rover]

Are you sure that what you are doing is possible in this way? Is there anything easier?

He wants to make it so that he can add or remove commands simply by adding .py files to the commands folder.

Like plugins in minecraft server

[proud mason]

sorry ngl but i did not understand the difference between that and what i said. you pass the folder name to the method. the library loads all files and even files from subdirectories (uses recursion). you dont specify each individual file name

[green hinge]

I don't know.
Can't I store the view in a variable and then access the view in another view via this variable and edit the view?

[proud mason]

never played minecraft so dk 💀

[wary rover]

Hooooo, okay I had not seen that there was a load_extensions and a load_extension

sorry

Change channel and check

[wary rover]

I would especially like to know what the final objective is, because here you are talking about views and I don't understand what use you are making of them.

Wouldn't it be easier to create a next and previous button?

[proud mason]

are you overloading the on_connect event?

.tag slashnoshow

[winter condor]

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)?

[proud mason]

yeah you need to load cogs before running the bot

[wary rover]

load command to load your bot load command??

[proud mason]

as a workaround, add await bot.sync_commands() to the end of your /load command

[green hinge]

Okay if I save the view like this in a variable, I can edit the view like this in another view in the callback function from the select menu:

view = await TestView(self.bot)

        if view :
            view.children[0].disabled = True
            await view.message.edit(view=view)```

[proud mason]

yea looks right

haha np

[wary rover]

You have a View, you can put it in a variable, add an element and update your view on your message, yes.

I'm not sure I understood what you wanted but obviously what you're trying to do is possible, although it may be a bit technical.

[scenic stone]

I am planning on using "Wavelink" , If my bot reaches a lot of servers, will it get taken down?

[green hinge]

Without the variable I have no chance to access the view or?

So I have it in mind that you can also search for a channel by name. But a view you can not give a name and then search or?

[wary rover]

Give a name to a view? You define the name of your view in your code

Each message can have only one view.

[green hinge]

Is this the only way I can access and modify the view?

view = await TestView(self.bot)```
Or is that also possible here?
```py
view = await interaction.response.send_message('Hello', view=await TestView(self.bot))```

[wary rover]

import discord

view = discord.ui.View()
view.add_item(discord.ui.Button(label="Click me!"))

[green hinge]

Yes I know that but as here I can not access the view or?
Because I would save the message object and then I can not access the view or?

view = await interaction.response.send_message('Hello', view=await TestView(self.bot))```

[wary rover]

import discord
from discord.ext import commands

bot = commands.Bot()

view = discord.ui.View()
view.add_item(discord.ui.Button(label="Click me!"))

# Commande test
@bot.command()
async def test(ctx):
    message = await ctx.respond("Hello!", view=view)

    editedView = view
    editedView.children[0].disabled = True

    await message.edit_original_response("Hello!", view=view)

It's probably wrong but the principle is there

[full basin]

At this point, subclass

Making it difficult for no reason at all

[proud mason]

i dont have the most accurate advise regarding this, but as long you dont earn money from that feature it should be fine. incase you get a notice regarding it, you can remove the feature and the bot still stays up

[limber urchin]

Depends on what you're going to do with it

[green hinge]

I can't access the view via the message object view can I?

[full basin]

Subclass the view

Then you can access the view

[wary rover]

He wants to edit from a callback of another view an existing view, I don't really understand...

[full basin]

The hell

[limber urchin]

If you plan on playing music from any third party service that doesn't allow it, yes, your bot will most likely be taken down. Or at least warned and lose it's verification.

[full basin]

Why you want to edit a view from another view

[wary rover]

I have 3 views and each view has 5 select menus.

If I'm not mistaken, your total number of choices will be 25 maximum anyway.

[full basin]

Isn't it easier just to have one select menu and edit the options, and pass the new edited select menu?

[green hinge]

It is not functional but I hope you understand what I have in mind.

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

class TestView2(discord.ui.View):
    async def __init__(self, bot: discord.Bot):
        super().__init__(
            await SelectMenu(bot),
            timeout=None
        )

class SelectMenu(discord.ui.Select):
    def __init__(self, bot: discord.Bot, spotdaten):      
          options = [discord.SelectOption(label=name) for name in ['1','2','3']]
            super().__init__(
                placeholder='Test',
                min_values=1,
                max_values=1,
                options=options,
                custom_id='TestClass'
            ) 

    async def callback(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):
        #Here I want to access the view (edit) to edit it

@slashcommand()
async def test(ctx):
  edit = await interaction.response.send_message('Hello', view=await TestView(self.bot))

[full basin]

Or replace each select menu instead of adding them?

[wary rover]

Do you want a selector with your two views and when the person selects one of the two views it is applied to the message?

[full basin]

My point stands

[green hinge]

However, I have a query:

1. type
2. manufacturer
3. name
4. color
5. size

And if I notice a mistake afterwards I want to be able to change it, so replacing the selection options is not optimal.
And the problem is that the selections are dependent on each other.
So if I change the type in View1 afterwards, I get only other types for selection in View2, so I have to remove the select menus there for manufacturer, name, color and size so that the user has to select them again with the new type.

[full basin]

Si if I select until color, and then change type, that means the select menus will need to be generated all of them again because one option changed?

[proud mason]

from what i remember from my previous conversations with this person, yes

[green hinge]

The Select menus appear one after the other. When I select a type, the select menu for the manufacturer appears, etc.
If all select menus have a selection and I change the type, all select menus are removed and must be selected again one after the other.

[full basin]

In my opinion, this is something very difficult to achieve and you don't have the skill for it

[green hinge]

I have everything ready. My only problem is how to save the views.
Can I access the view only if I pass the view to the variable and then send it?

view = await TestView(self.bot)
await interaction.response.send_message('Hello', view=view)```
Or can I do this step in one and can access the view here as well? Because here I store the message object?
```py
view = await interaction.response.send_message('Hello', view=await TestView(self.bot))```

[full basin]

I'm sure objects have a .view attribute

.rtfm Select.view

[winter condor]

1 results

discord.ui.Select.view

[wary rover]

If I had been able to understand the objective I would have tried to code a solution for it. But I didn't understand anything

[green hinge]

then I should be able to access the view via view.view and the elements via view.view.children right?

[full basin]

Assuming you're in your select menu callback

self is your select
self.view is the view your select is attached to

[proud mason]

"view.view.children"

[green hinge]

in callback1 I save the message like this and put it e.g. into a dict:

messagesave = await interaction.response.send_message('Hello', view=await TestView(self.bot))```
in callback2 i read the variable messagesave from the dict and should then be able to access the view from callback1 via messagesave.view or?

[full basin]

no

For God sake, self.view already returns the view

You just pass self.view to your next view

You don't store any message

And response.send_message doesn't return a message object

[green hinge]

Yes it is an interaction object but you can't access the view through it because the interaction object has no attribute view

[full basin]

Then do what I said

Why you want to force the interaction to have a view attribute

[green hinge]

I have already saved the interaction and thought that maybe I can access the view through it so I would have 2 things done with one thing but that is not possible because the interaction object does not have a view attribute.

[full basin]

Then just use self.view

[green hinge]

Yes thanks!

Hey guys, Im currently trying to find how to fetch the user when a scheduled event is created (the creator)
Im looking through the documentation, but cant find any regarding that

[full basin]

.rtfm get_member

[winter condor]

2 results

discord.Guild.get_member
discord.Guild.get_member_named

[full basin]

.rtfm fetch_member

discord.Thread.fetch_members

[undone mulch]

async def sendinfo(self, ctx, discord.ApplicationContext, member: Option(discord.Member, "Select User"), duration: Option(str, "Punishment duration information.", required=False, default="Not provided"), reason: Option(str, "Punishment reason information.", required=False, default="Not Provided"), appeal: Option(str, "Can this user appeal?", choices=["yes","no"], required=False, default="Not Provided")):```

Why is this syntax incorrect? What did I do wrong

[young bone]

looks fine for me

[undone mulch]

Says syntax error

[young bone]

where?

[undone mulch]

console

at that line

[solemn idol]

Shouldn't it be ctx: discord.ApplicationContext ?

[young bone]

yes, it should be

@undone mulch

[undone mulch]

It doesn’t even need the ApplicationContext

I tried without works fine

[full basin]

It's typehinting

It doesn't do anything but help the IDE

It doesn't mean you code will be faster or something

[young bone]

its still a ,

[novel jay]

doesn't adding :type to something just add type hinting?
Example:

def func(text: str):
    print (text)
```or does it like make it so you have to put in a string or something?

[silver moat]

no, you can put a cow in there for all python cares

[novel jay]

damn

but -> type forces your function to return a certain value... right?
Example:

def func(text) -> None:
    print (text)

[silver moat]

it definitely helps readibility

[silver moat]

nope, you can return a cow for all python cares

[novel jay]

damn...

i really thought it forced types

for all these years

[silver moat]

They're just like comments

[novel jay]

like comments but it appears in the IDE type checking without you having to "look" at it?

[silver moat]

the IDE is just an abstraction on top of the Python Interpreter.

[novel jay]

yeah

[silver moat]

Depending on your IDE, it may somewhat enforce those Python types, but your program can still run

[limber urchin]

Don't use json as a database

[hybrid flower]

embed.add_field(name="xxx", value="I[H") # output I[H
but
embed.add_field(name="xxx", value="f\w") # output f\w
why?

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16027723/how-to-escape-backslash-bracket-in-markdown

[proud mason]

sorry what?

[hybrid flower]

\ + [, the \ will disappear

[proud mason]

put 2 \ then

\[ (wrote \\[)

see

[hybrid flower]

why?

\ add other chars is will not disappear.

[proud mason]

\ is used to escape special characters like * < { [ etc

so lets say you want to show 2 *

but discord will render them as italics

if you put \ before the *

you get *italics*

get it?

this is markdown stuff

[hybrid flower]

when I want to output string with \, I need only to replace one with two?

[proud mason]

yes

somewhat like escape the escaping

💀

[wind jay]

hi, how could i make a voice controlled discord bot

[green hinge]

I have added a try and except in the callback from my select menu. But when an error occurs, is it always written multiple times in the log file? Why does this happen and can I prevent that the error message is written only 1x?

class Select(discord.ui.Select):

     #__init__

async def callback(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):
   try:
       #something
  except Exception as e:
       #Write error to log file

[grizzled sentinel]

Not sure if pycord is equipped for this. You would have to record audio and than feed it to a speech to text library.

[wind jay]

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

because i saw this

[grizzled sentinel]

You can try it out. But as of now you need to have a recording not a live audio stream I think. If it works to take 5 seconds recordings or something it is probably possible.

[wind jay]

i tried the thing from the repo out and got a problem with the sinks

if i try to trigger like ?start mp3 i get discord.ext.commands.errors.BadArgument: Converting to "Sinks" failed for parameter "sink".

[grizzled sentinel]

I think you should just use a set sink. Im not sure if there is a reason to choose per recording. The example might only work with slash commands

[wind jay]

okay, got the sinks now working with slash commands, but the recording isnt working:

@bot.slash_command(guild_ids=[893578607941795891], description="Start Audio Recording!")
@option("sink", description="Wähle das Format aus")
@commands.has_permissions(administrator=True)
async def start(ctx: discord.ApplicationContext, sink: Sinks):
    try:
        """Record your voice!"""

        await ctx.defer()

        voice = ctx.author.voice

        if not voice:
            return await ctx.send_followup("You're not in a vc right now")

        print(voice)
        print("connecting now.....")
        vc = await voice.channel.connect()
        print("connected to voice channel")

        connections.update({ctx.guild.id: vc})

        print(f"connections: {connections}")

        vc.start_recording(
            sink.value,
            finished_callback,
            ctx.channel,
        )

        print(vc)
        print("test")

        await ctx.send_followup("The recording has started!")

    except Exception as e:
        print(e)

it prints voice and connecting now then nothing happens

it connects to the vc but i dont get "connected to voice channel"

[grizzled sentinel]

This requires Intents.voice_states.

[wind jay]

isnt it in discord.Intents.all()?

[grizzled sentinel]

👍

[wind jay]

now i have

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

but its still the same problem

[grizzled sentinel]

You add the intensts to the bot correct?

bot = discord.Bot(intents=intents)

or similar

[wind jay]

wait

do i need this scope? in dev portal?

[grizzled sentinel]

I dont think so

[wind jay]

yeah

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

    async def on_ready(self):
        if not self.persistent_views_added:
            self.persistent_views_added = True
        
        print("hi")

bot = ChatBot()
bot.remove_command('help')

[grizzled sentinel]

Anyways the problem is about connecting to the VC not receiving audio.

- vc = await voice.channel.connect()
+ vc = await voice.channel.connect(timeout=10)

Than wait 10 seconds to see if it errors.

[wind jay]

nothing happens

no error

[grizzled sentinel]

Something is either catching the error or blocking your code than.

[wind jay]

@bot.slash_command(guild_ids=[893578607941795891], description="Start Audio Recording!")

            connections.update({ctx.guild.id: vc})

            print(f"connections: {connections}")

            vc.start_recording(
                sink.value,
                finished_callback,
                ctx.channel,
            )

            print(vc)
            print("test")

            await ctx.send_followup("The recording has started!")

        else:
            await ctx.send_followup(f"I can't join your voice channel I am already connected to {ctx.voice_client.channel}",)

    except Exception as e:
        print(e)
``` added a check now

if i do /start it joins the channel like before if i switch the channel then and try to do / start i get I can't join your voice channel I am already connected to....

so its very weird

[grizzled sentinel]

Becouse you are just checking if there is any voice client. Not a shared one with the user.

[wind jay]

yeah

[wind jay]

i know but if it has a voice client why isnt it working

[grizzled sentinel]

true. Does the bot have permissions to join the VC?

[wind jay]

it has admin perms

[wind jay]

also it joins the vc

[wind jay]

    except Exception as e:
        print(e)

this is my code now

its not working no error

[grizzled sentinel]

What does the bot respond with?

[grizzled sentinel]

connecting now..... What does it print after this?

[wind jay]

kek

[grizzled sentinel]

and it does not print connected to voice channel

[wind jay]

nothing more

[wind jay]

could it be a problem, that are more bots are running on my vps?

[grizzled sentinel]

Possibly does it work on your own PC or is it not setup there?

[wind jay]

wait i have to set it up on my py wait

[undone mulch]

Its not a database. And how is that helpful to my question? Might as well just not say anything.

Its a hashed seed. Tell Minecraft not to use json.

Its beneficial.

[wind jay]

@grizzled sentinel wtf

i found the problem

[limber urchin]

I'm locally storing a json seed database
So it's not a database?

And your issue is that you're never updating the data stored in memory, you read it once, store it in a variable and never update it

[wind jay]

i was on pycord 2.3.3.dev8+g647f00f7 and i now updated to pip 2.4.1 and itw working now

[undone mulch]

I read it, then load it again. I have tried opening and closing it to.

[proud mason]

Oh it's the ip discovery thing

[grizzled sentinel]

I was just about to have you try that.

XD, at least it eorks now

[proud mason]

Packet size changed

[undone mulch]

How do you force the memory to reload?

[limber urchin]

No, in your save function you never read the value into your edb variable

[wind jay]

[undone mulch]

So every-time I save anything I should reload the memory directly within the function?

[limber urchin]

and close is a method, you're just referencing it as an attribute

[undone mulch]

I have tried that though. Using a standard with open and .load but it doesn’t seem to update the memory

Unless there is another way I don’t know exist

Like a memory reloader

[limber urchin]

You don't "update the memory". You read the values of the file into a variable, a variable is part of your memory

[undone mulch]

But then how to access it via keys

If you are putting it into a variable

[limber urchin]

What?

[undone mulch]

The json has 500 keys of content

[limber urchin]

So just access it by the key from your variable?

How else would you do it?

[undone mulch]

But then it wouldn’t update

Without a bot restart

[limber urchin]

What do you mean update? If you're reading a value, why would you update anything?

[undone mulch]

Because it seems that the json data in my bot gets cached or something. The bot can update the json live and process it. But if I change it manually directly in the ftp without commands that is where it doesn’t register my changes without a restart.

This is important because I am making a backup system command to backup the data and restore files. And it does the same problem when using OS to copy a file to replace it.

[limber urchin]

How would the bot know to re-read the file if you manually change it?

[undone mulch]

Because I made a command that opens the file again and reloads it

[limber urchin]

Of course it's not going to update, your program has no idea the file has been changed and won't read it

[undone mulch]

And that doesn’t fix it

[limber urchin]

And how does that command look?

[grizzled sentinel]

Make sure you are actually saving the file when you manually change it.

[undone mulch]

Im on mobile right now but its standard json. Content = var.read()

[limber urchin]

Well it's impossible to say what's wrong without seeing the code.

Could be anything

[undone mulch]

Yes I am pressing save. The entire file is being replaced by the bot. So it does it.

Let me see if I can access the ftp on mobile

@limber urchin

Define the backup command

@client.command()
@commands.is_owner()
async def backup(ctx, db_number: int, backup_index: int):
# Get the backup filename for the specified index
db_backup_dir = os.path.join(backup_dir, f"DB{db_number} Backups")
db_backup_files = os.listdir(db_backup_dir)
db_backup_files.sort(reverse=True)
backup_filename = db_backup_files[backup_index - 1]

# Get the paths for the source and destination files
db_source_path = os.path.join(db_backup_dir, backup_filename)
db_dest_path = os.path.join(source_dir, f"game_database{db_number}.json")

# Copy the backup file to the source directory
shutil.copy(db_source_path, db_dest_path)

# Reload the JSON data and update the global variable
with open(db_dest_path, "r") as f:
    game_data = json.load(f)
globals()[f"game_data{db_number}"] = game_data

# Send a message to confirm the backup was restored
await ctx.send(f"Backup {backup_index} for database {db_number} has been restored.")

I am on Iphone. Idk how to put it in blocks.

[limber urchin]

But you never read anything into your edb variable there

[undone mulch]

Idk what you mean

Example?

[limber urchin]

Why do you need an example?

Do you know how to read a value to a variable?

[undone mulch]

No

[heady fractal]

so i want to get someone's nickname in the server. using bot.fetch_user returns a user object that doesn't have that information

since display_name returns their discord name, not the nickname they set

[limber urchin]

.rtfm fetch_member

[winter condor]

ah so i have to get the guild and get the member from it

[limber urchin]

yes

got it, thanks

any idea why it says the city bit in this is unexpected, been perfectly fine until i moved it to a cog

[limber urchin]

?tag requests

[obtuse junco]

Why you should not use the requests library for your bot
requests is a popular HTTP library for Python. It is however not a good option for Discord bots, since it is not async and blocking.

This essentially means that your bot will not be able to execute any code at all while a request is happening. Since requests usually take a few seconds to complete, this can have a detrimental effect on your bot's performance. E.g if a user executes a command that performs a request taking 5 seconds to complete, no one else will be able to use your bot for those 5 seconds.

Please look at using a HTTP library that has async support, such as aiohttp or httpx

[drowsy python]

this is very likely something inexpicably small and it jsut went over my head

[limber urchin]

And you don't pass self to class methods

That is passed automatically since you're calling self.

[drowsy python]

oh ok now that makes more sense

ty

i'll do that aiohttp bit too, good insight

[heady fractal]

is there a limit on how much text can be in an embed

[heady fractal]

so there can be 25k characters per embed when using field values

if every field value is used

[limber urchin]

• the description

and title and footer

[heady fractal]

yep

[proud mason]

there is a max limit of 6k characters in a message factoring in all embeds

[heady fractal]

ah

so no matter what, max limit is 6k

[proud mason]

yea

[heady fractal]

this is really annoying, especially if you want to format URLS to look nicer

[limber urchin]

How do you have a url over 6k characters?

[proud mason]

use url shortners?

[heady fractal]

i have multiple URLs i need to display, and with the formatting + urls it goes over the 6k char limti

[limber urchin]

You could always send them as separate messages I guess, or like mentioned, use a URL shortener

[heady fractal]

i think i'll just leave them unformatted

[limber urchin]

It's a Discord limitation, not much we can do about it unfortunately

[heady fractal]

yeh

or an option would be to send multiple embeds

[proud mason]

or this

[heady fractal]

That wouldn’t work in my specific use case

Since i rely on the urls as keys

I ended up splitting big url messages into chunks of embeds containing multiple chunks of urls as fields

[tired goblet]

whats a good way to get extra info from the user after a slash command?

let's say the user uses /commandA this helps the bot know what the user wants. but let's say depending on which option was picked by the user, if the bot needs some more info specific to that particular chosen option, what is a good way to ask a follow up question?

[proud mason]

If it is text based input, modals should be the best way

[tired goblet]

okay

thanks!

[ocean pumice]

I need some help here
When doing ctx.author.roles, i receive a list [<Role id=996922553266360360 name='@everyone'>, <Role id=1068467634317832222 name='Bots'>]
And I want to access every single id of this list. Tho, when doing for role in roles, role is equal to the name (So @everyone and Bots). How can I make role be the ID?

i think i found it ( role.id)

Oh yeah yeah it works like that

Thanks

[tired goblet]

writing a modal, can someone help why i am getting an application did not respond error even before i'm interacting with the modal?

this is how i'm sending the modal:

await ctx.send_modal(SpecialItem(ctx, amount, title = 'Please enter name of item'))

[full basin]

It should throw a console error

[tired goblet]

nah it isn't

[proud mason]

You are receiving the error on the slash cmd, not the modal

Are you taking longer than 3 seconds to respond

[tired goblet]

No i wasn't, it was throwing that error as soon as the modal was invoked

But after rewriting literally the same code, it seems to be gone lol

[proud mason]

Oh huh lmao

hello, I created a bot captcha, but there is one problem. At the first attempt of the bot, everything works for me, but when I call the command a second time, such an error occurs. It cannot open the png file. How to solve a problem?

The main task. The bot creates a captcha image, puts a random code there, displays this image in the embed. Everything works, but the second time when you call it, an error is raised

[proud mason]

btw why not use BytesIO instead of storing the image to disk?

[fervent cradle]

How is that, can you tell me please?)

[proud mason]

yea so io.BytesIO is an in memory file like object. im not sure how you generate the image, but generally it is used the same way as using open-

with io.ByesIO() as f:
    f.write(...)
    x = f.read()
    # any other thing you could with a normal file

[fervent cradle]

the Image library creates a captcha of an image on disk with set_image before the image
path.

embed1.set_image(url="attachment://code.png")

[young bone]

?

?tag localfile

[obtuse junco]

f = discord.File("some_file_path", filename="image.png")
e = discord.Embed()
e.set_image(url="attachment://image.png")
await messagable.send(file=f, embed=e)```

[fervent cradle]

yes

[young bone]

why do you open it?

[proud mason]

by Image library ig PIL ? that has a save method. the save method which also accepts a file like object. and the set_image thing can be done with BytesIO too

[fervent cradle]

yeah, PIL

[proud mason]

the file name you set in discord.File should match with what you put in the url

[fervent cradle]

Ok, I will take a look

[proud mason]

oh btw you arent opening the file inside the button callback?

when using with open, the file gets closed when the code inside the block is executed

[fervent cradle]

Opening a file, is outside the callback

[proud mason]

yea that wont work

[fervent cradle]

I did without open, the same problem

[proud mason]

cuz it will get closed when the code gets out of the with block

try opening inside the callback like so

with open(...) as f:
    ...
    await interaction.response.send_message(...)

notice the indentation. send is inside the with block

[fervent cradle]

oksss

[fervent cradle]

?

one second

[proud mason]

yea just indent all the other lines inside the with block

[fervent cradle]

Thanks bro, I got it resolved and he got up as much as he wanted. only one problem, he does not require captcha, but throws off the same way, I will solve it somehow

[fervent cradle]

Imagine, the bot sent a message that has a button attached to it. While it was online since sending the message, the button worked perfectly. But why doesn't the button work after restarting thw bot?

[blissful hazel]

Take a look at persistent views

[errant crane]

Here's the persistent example.

[fervent cradle]

Okay, why do I need a custom id?

[limber urchin]

How else is the bot going to know which button to run the view events on?

hey, I am having trouble installing pycord. trying the example bot it fails to import discord

[copper dew]

is it in your venv ? run pip list and post the results of that here

[silver moat]

?tag notpycord

[obtuse junco]

The library name is py-cord not pycord

[shut hedge]

figured it out

[silver moat]

you would also have to restart your terminal/IDE after installing

[shut hedge]

I followed directions a little to well

[silver moat]

are the instructions ambiguous?

[shut hedge]

no I dev in python 2.5.6 to 3.12.0a6. my interp was set to 3.11 but I kept doing python3.10 -m pip .....

[silver moat]

ic

[shut hedge]

I am tired from college so my 2 brain cells were fighting for 3rd place on that one

[silver moat]

it happens

[shut hedge]

thank you. though unless I am blind I didnt see that on the website. Would have been helpful if it is not there. something like if your interp is 3.x.x then do this command 3.x.x vs 3.a.a and 3.a.a

but like i said it is on me thank you for your help.

[novel jay]

How do i find the person that ran a slash command that wasn't my bot? (Using the on_message event or not doesn't really matter)
Example:
Someone runs /bump on disboard and i want to track that to give them like a bumper role after X bumps, how would i figure out who did that?

Is it message.reference?
nvm

ctx.guild.voice_client.play(source=f"file:{random.choice(songs)}.mp3"), It runs into the error:

[obtuse junco]

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

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

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

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

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

Hi there! I am trying to embed an local gif into a message. However any local Gif (as well as any local file) is ignored.

loading_icon: discord.File = discord.File("src/downloading.gif", filename="downloading.gif")
embed.set_footer(text="Progress : 0%", icon_url="attachment://downloading.gif")

it simply does not show up in the embed. (thumbnail doesnt work either.) -> It is completely ignored not just not loading.

I am not quite sure what I am missing.

Note : It does work with any "real" url

[young bone]

?tag localfile

Hey there again!
I want/need to edit an message/response from within an sync function (that runs for some time) but I cant manage to get it to work

what I tried

def hook(interaction):

  await interaction.edit_original_response(text="new progress") # obv doesnt work 
  interaction.... # does not work cant call without await

  asyncio.run(interaction....) # does nothing
  asyncio.create_task(inter....) # does also nothing
  


@...
async def my_command(interaction):
  await interaction.respond(text="Progress")
  my_object.do_long_lasting_stuff(hook, interaction)

exporting my_object into its own async function didnt work either

having a task function run didnt do anything as well.

async def my_command(interaction):
  await interaction.respond(text="Progress")
  my_task.start() # doesnt do anything cause the next line blocks the thread
  my_object.do_long_lasting_stuff(hook, interaction)

TLDR; I need a way to edit/send a message from a synchronous method

Learn python

You can’t call an asynchronous function from a synchronous function.

That’s basic python knowledge. You won’t be able to achieve what you want because you need to await the send/edit functions since they are API calls.

[dry urchin]

Yes I know that but all the "official" ways to schedule tasks/methods don't work for some reason. The only thing that works is run_in_executor but that seems hackery

[rare ice]

[proud mason]

Doesn't make sense. run in executor is used to run blocking functions without blocking the event loop

Not for calling async functions from sync functions

[proud mason]

Try asyncio.create_task as that should be a best way
If not try bot.loop.create_task

Also try asyncio.run_coroutine_threadsafe

[dry urchin]

No sorry i used execute for the blocking part to have it not block

asyncio create_task did not work. netiher did the bot.loop approach. I will try threadsafe

[proud mason]

Can you show how you tried the create_task ways

[dry urchin]

I have added a try and except in the callback from my select menu. But when an error occurs, is it always written multiple times in the log file? Why does this happen and can I prevent that the error message is written only 1x?

class Select(discord.ui.Select):

     #__init__

async def callback(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):
   try:
       #something
  except Exception as e:
       #Write error to log file

[strange beacon]

Your likely triggering multiple exceptions along the way, the one your code triggered and the ones thrown by the libraries because of something in your code. Seeing the actual code and traceback will make it so we might be able to help.

[green hinge]

This is my code:

class Gewaesser(discord.ui.Select):
    def __init__(self, bot: discord.Bot):
        try:          
            self.bot = bot
            options = [discord.SelectOption(label=water) for water in bot.waters]
            super().__init__(
                placeholder="Wähle das Gewässer aus",
                min_values=1,
                max_values=1,
                options=options,
                custom_id="Waters",
            )
        except Exception as e:            
            logger.error(f'An error occurred in Waters.__init__: {e}')

    async def callback(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):
        try:         
            if len(self.view.children) > 1 and interaction.data['custom_id'] == 'gewaesser_select':
                self.placeholder = self.values[0]
                await self.view.message.edit(view=self.view)
            else:
                self.placeholder = self.values[0]
                await self.view.message.edit(view=self.view)
        except Exception as e:
            logger.error(f'An error occurred in Waters.callback: {e}')
        finally:
            await interaction.response.defer()```

[strange beacon]

and the traceback?

[green hinge]

If I insert this line in the try block to provoke an error:

some_variable = '5' + 5```
I get this entry in the log file:

[proud mason]

not a direct equivalent yet, but on the master branch you can do @client.listen(once=True) couple with on_ready or on_connect
this will run only once

[thorny bloom]

I don't have a direct client object as I'm using subclasses

I read something about on_hook but doesn't seem to exist/ work

[proud mason]

you would have an object of it in the main file right?

[proud mason]

yea it isnt there in pycord

[silver moat]

if you have cogs, @discord.Cog.listener(once=True) would work

[thorny bloom]

TypeError: listener() got an unexpected keyword argument 'once' 🤔

[proud mason]

im not sure when that would be merged tho

[thorny bloom]

Actually I'm already using the master branch

[proud mason]

update once again

pip install -U git+https://github.com/Pycord-Development/pycord

it got added yesterday

[thorny bloom]

I'm running it with docker so it's always getting updated automatically

[limber urchin]

If your docker container doesn't pull the latest master you won't get the updated version

aka the command that Om sent

[proud mason]

You still need to build the image again for the latest version of libraries

await ctx.guild.change_voice_state(channel=self.connections[ctx.guild.id].channel, self_deaf=False)

the bot can still record voices

[green hinge]

Why?

[chrome skiff]

and shoulndt it look like this?

[limber urchin]

?tag requests

[obtuse junco]

Why you should not use the requests library for your bot
requests is a popular HTTP library for Python. It is however not a good option for Discord bots, since it is not async and blocking.

This essentially means that your bot will not be able to execute any code at all while a request is happening. Since requests usually take a few seconds to complete, this can have a detrimental effect on your bot's performance. E.g if a user executes a command that performs a request taking 5 seconds to complete, no one else will be able to use your bot for those 5 seconds.

Please look at using a HTTP library that has async support, such as aiohttp or httpx

[chrome skiff]

what does this mean?

[full basin]

list object is not callable

[shell coral]

i dont understand what that means

ive been gone for a while

[full basin]

This is a basic python error

Do you even know what a list is?

[shell coral]

nope ive forgotten

@bot.slash_command(name="staffwarn", description="This warns the staff of galaxichost.com")

#help-rules

[shell coral]

this is the code

[full basin]

Learn python basics before creating bots.

[shell coral]

i know it

ive just forgotten

but thanks for your response

[grizzled sentinel]

Does refreshing discord fix it? Also the red one is only when a staff disables it not when you choose to disable it. If everything still works and it is just the icon pycord would not be able to do much about it.

[chrome skiff]

refreshing did not fix it

how to to it with the red one?

[grizzled sentinel]

And admin right clicks on the user and clicks server deafen

[chrome skiff]

no i mean how to do it as the bot itself xD

[grizzled sentinel]

I think it is just a permission. Edit user permissions.

[chrome skiff]

no i mean how can the bot deafen it self

[silver moat]

await ctx.guild.me.edit(deafen=True)?

[grizzled sentinel]

Or more specifically

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api/models.html#discord.VoiceChannel.set_permissions

[silver moat]

There is a difference. That will only deafen said user in that voice channel, while editing the member to be deafened would make the bot deafened guild-wide.

[chrome skiff]

thanks

[coarse cargo]

Hey there, is it possible to like have an embed with a button after i click it, the button should get removed and a new one get added. If yes how can i achieve that?

[silver moat]

yea. view.add_item(button) and then edit the message to update the view.

[coarse cargo]

ty

[drowsy python]

admin = bot.create_group("admin", "Admin/owner only commands")
cogs = admin.create_subgroup("cogs", "Cog-related commands")

registering a command under cogs and trying to run it gets an AttributeError: type object '_MissingSentinel' has no attribute '_get_overridden_method'
do these commands have to be registered in a special way?

[errant crane]

Here's the slash cog example.

Here's the slash cog groups example.

[drowsy python]

this stuff is in the main file should've clarified

[errant crane]

Here's the slash groups example.

[drowsy python]

ok yeah that works, ty

[silver moat]

yay

[drowsy python]

i do have one question on that though, what's the reason that doesn't work first time around?

is it cause i was using the discord version instead of discord.ext.commands?

[silver moat]

I don't have enough context here to give a definitive answer

[drowsy python]

understandable

ty again tho, and have a good day/night

[silver moat]

[wild socket]

How to make it so that bot first loads the database and then set all the bot related attributes first before listening to any event ?

I know in discord.py, we use setup_hook but not sure how you do that in py-cord.

Need setup_hook. it's very good to have it

[silver moat]

#998272089343668364 message

[wild socket]

Can not use that..
its for a public bot and i dont use github versions for it

any other alternative available that can be done on stable version?

[silver moat]

no stable releases yet

[wild socket]

okay...
what abt i use bot.start()?

will that work ?

[silver moat]

I don't know your bot, but if you're just using it for databases, sure

[violet bear]

I used the example for recording audio, but I want it to loop every x seconds, however it seems If i try to loop it without disconnecting from voice first it breaks

am I missing something

[proud mason]

Oh wair. Are you doing this in cog?the feature is only in main file

[proud mason]

Can you elaborate how you are doing it?
is it like this?

...
recording = True
while recording:
    vc.start_recording(...)
    await asyncio.sleep(10)
    vc.stop_recording()

Smth like that?

[violet bear]

hmmmmm

i was not using asyncio sleep

i was using time maybe thats why

[proud mason]

Yea that would block the event loop. And the bot can't heartbeat the connection to discord

[thorny bloom]

Oops yeah, what should I do in the main file? 😅 I‘m normally not working with python and pycord 😂

[proud mason]

smth on the lines of

bot = ...

@bot.listen(once=True)
async def on_ready(): # or on_connect
    ...

[thorny bloom]

But I’m using a subclass

[proud mason]

you can still do it

bot = MyBot(...)

@bot.listen(once=True)
async def on_ready(): # or on_connect
    ...

[verbal marten]

how did i not know that deco was a thing

[lime lotus]

how do i remove a message's files on edit?

[fervent cradle]

quick question: When I want a slash command globaly. Do I need something extra? or do I just need to wait until the command is registered?

[proud mason]

all you need to do is not specify a guild id

Although registering global commands can sometimes take some time. but it has always been instant for me

[fervent cradle]

ok thanks

[wicked helm]

Haudi - Does pycord have the ability to create a method that will call every day/week etc?

[young bone]

you mean task?

[errant crane]

Here's the background task example.

[wicked helm]

Yes, yes I do

I had forgotten the name 😄

[errant crane]

Here's the background task asyncio example.

[wicked helm]

So this example - will run every 60 seconds? I assume waiting a week just needs a bigger number.. or will something cause it to stop in between?

[proud mason]

yea. week just needs a bigger number

[young bone]

you should be able to set days

[wicked helm]

Got that sorted - I want to try and update user roles using this task.. How do I.. "point" at a user without ctx.author?
I've tried using:

member = self.get_user(id)
member.add_roles(...)

[proud mason]

you need a member object

not a user

for getting a member you need the guild

so bot.get_guild(...) followed by guild.get_member(...)

[wicked helm]

Ah, so I have guild = self.get_guild(id) for getting the roles.. I will do that then!

That makes sense, thought I could just get the user direct

[wicked helm]

This get's me the same error as before..

'NoneType' object has no attribute 'add_roles'

I can put the code here if that helps?

[young bone]

can you show the code?

how you get the member and guild?

[wicked helm]

    async def update_membership_and_roles(self):
        await self.wait_until_ready()
        while not self.is_closed():
            logger.info("Running role update task.")
            id_list = await database_connection.get_verified_user_list()
            for id in id_list:
                logger.info("Attempting to update the roles of user: " + str(id))
                user_info = await database_connection.get_user_verification_info(id)
                membership = await rsi_lookup.get_user_membership(user_info["handle"])
                rank = await rsi_lookup.get_user_rank(user_info["handle"])

                # Check the org membership status and rank
                guild = self.get_guild(997138062381416589)
                member = guild.get_member(id)
                try:
                    if membership == "Org Member":
                        await member.add_roles(discord.utils.get(guild.roles, name="BRVNS Member"))
                        await member.add_roles(discord.utils.get(guild.roles, name=rank))
                    elif membership == "Org Affiliate":
                        await member.add_roles(discord.utils.get(guild.roles, name="BRVNS Affiliate"))
                        await member.add_roles(discord.utils.get(guild.roles, name=rank))
                except AttributeError as e:
                    logger.error(e)
                
            await asyncio.sleep(3600)  # This asyncio task runs every 1 day

[proud mason]

Use before_loop and wait until ready

[proud mason]

I think the docs has an example for this

.rtfm loop

when saving a vc recording, I try to run it through the python speech recognition library, but for some reason it always comes back as unintelligible. I've tried other .wav files made by elevenlabs and even from self recorded from audacity and they always come back fine. This is how i'm saving the .wav. Am I doing something wrong? The .wav sounds fine if I open it manually.

with open("recording.wav", "wb") as f:
    f.write(audio.file.getbuffer())

[violet bear]

that did it by the way thank you
