Basic Pycord Help (Quick Questions Only)

[fervent thunder]

!create_embed is the command

[distant roost]

This is probably an error that happends very often but why did i get the error function bot.load_extension was never awaited? When i change my code from bot.load_extension o await bot.load_extension it says await outside function? That doesn’t really makes sense for me

[young bone]

what?

[distant roost]

Basically if i write bot.load_extension() without await in my code the error is courutine bot.load_extension() was never awaited and if i do it with await it says await outside function.
And sorry for my englisch i really don’t know how courutine is spelled i hope you can understand it

[silver moat]

pip list in terminal/command prompt/powershell and send output

[fervent thunder]

?

.

[young bone]

do you know basic python?

[fervent thunder]

bro im about to shoot myself, stop asking that question.

[young bone]

lol

[fervent thunder]

bro i've been trying to do this for weeks

please just help me idk what to do

[distant roost]

I use a hoster to yk host the bot and this panel doesn’t have a terminal. I can input something in a field below the console but it doesn’t do anything

[young bone]

code?

[young bone]

you are not responding to the buttons and why do you use "/" as a prefix for prefix commands?

[fervent thunder]

oops

meant to be !

[fervent thunder]

Idk how to do that

how do i make it respond to the buttons

[young bone]

use response?

[silver moat]

https://guide.pycord.dev/interactions/ui-components/buttons

[young bone]

^

[fervent thunder]

bro

i'll try

[distant roost]

I got it somehow

[young bone]

you have discord and discord.py installed

[distant roost]

What should i deinstall? And i didn’t import any of these i just imported pycord

[young bone]

? uninstall discord, discord.py and py-cord and reinstall py-cord

[distant roost]

Ok sec

[silver moat]

pip uninstall discord.py discord py-cord -y
pip install py-cord

[distant roost]

It works now thank you both

[full basin]

Can I edit a specific follow up?
Like prompt = await interaction.followup.send()
and then await prompt.edit()
or is my IDE tricking me about it not being possible?

[fervent cradle]

Hello Guys Quick Question how can i put my easy~pil coded picture in a embed like how do i get the url

[silver moat]

?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)```

[silver moat]

yes

[fervent cradle]

file path is this C:THispc/User/projects thing?

am i right?

[silver moat]

yes

[fervent cradle]

where is the image gonna be send in then

output or discord

ohhhh

the path is the place where the picture is located

[silver moat]

good

[fervent cradle]

i tought it is gonna be saved there

i made an code easy-pil but how do i make a easy-pil co´de to a picture

[rare ice]

that's not Pycord related.

[fervent cradle]

what

oh

my bad

[full basin]

danke

[silver moat]

what is this called (in terms of web dev)?

[rare ice]

Preview or preview embed I think

Great question tho

[full basin]

It's a meta element

[silver moat]

doesn't seem like it

[silver moat]

that seems to be it, thanks

[rare ice]

Does anyone know if a custom commands handler where you can create custom commands that even supports arguments? Kind of like Carl’s typescript.

[sand niche]

If I have snowflakes of channels I want to delete, can I just do:

channel = discord.abc.GuildChannel(id)
await channel.delete()

?

[silver moat]

yes

[sand niche]

dumb question. sorry. I am tired lol.

Thanks as always squidy. 😄

[proud mason]

Btw that is dpy. Not py-cord

[proud mason]

You should do this too ^

[proud mason]

Check this
https://github.com/phenom4n4n/TagScript

[proud mason]

Yes that is possible because followup.send returns the webhook message object

[mental maple]

Can pycord wait for message?

[proud mason]

show how you used it

[mental maple]

try:
        amount = await bot.wait_for("message", timeout=20) # 30 seconds to reply
    except asyncio.TimeoutError:
        await ctx.respond("Pertanyaan tidak dijawab, Ulangi!")```

that try have indent

All intents

[proud mason]

hm

[mental maple]

Which one wrongs

[proud mason]

you didnt use checks

[mental maple]

It do need?

Ok

[proud mason]

you bot could be getting messages from any server, any channel, any user

i suggest using a check for ctx.author and ctx.channel

Im makin message command

[proud mason]

that has an example

[proud mason]

message command like the context menu msg cmd?

[mental maple]

Ye ikr, thx

[mental maple]

Yep

[proud mason]

you could use modals yk

[mental maple]

Huh?

Wait even i use check it auto run next line again

😑

[proud mason]

oof

[mental maple]

Bruhhhh

[proud mason]

what check did you use?

also, try printing amount

see what you get

[mental maple]

Just an easy check that return message content

BRUHHH it do read

It read the bot message

:l

It read itself like bruh

[limber urchin]

That's why you need a check

[mental maple]

Oh okie, so i need to check its a bot or nah

Many things changed.

[limber urchin]

That depends on what conditions you want to wait for. You might also need to check if it's the right channel, if it's the right member sending the message, if it's in the right server.

[mental maple]

Uh how to check?

if message.author == ctx.author?

[limber urchin]

.tias

How to use 💰 in embed footer?

Tried text="<moneybag>"

[limber urchin]

You can't use Discord emojis in the footer. It has to be a unicode character

[proud mason]

you can get the unicode emoji version if you put a \ before emoji and send it

copy paste that

eg send \💰 to get \💰

\💰

will work

[magic pendant]

I can't send a keyboard interrupt to stop the bot process. Is this a new thing with pycord?

[proud mason]

do you have a bare except: anywhere?

change that to except Exception:

Because a bare except: will suppress a KeyboardInterrupt

but KeyboardInterrupt is not a subclass of the base Exception class

[proud mason]

unlike most other errors

[magic pendant]

Nope i don't, but I think I've discovered the function that's causing it. This below:

# main.py

bot.loop.create_task(DatabaseAdapter().ainit())

    async def ainit(self):
        self.reports_conn = await aiosqlite.connect(self.reports_db)
        async with self.reports_conn.execute("SELECT id FROM report") as cur:
            self._all_records_ids = await cur.fetchall()

        self.infractions_conn = await aiosqlite.connect(self.infractions_db)```

I don't see a reason why that would suppress keyboard interrupt though

[proud mason]

hmm yea i dont see it either

try adding a print statement to see till where the code is being run. or use a debugger

[magic pendant]

Exception handler is loaded
Help.cog is loaded
Infractions.cog is loaded
IO.cog is loaded
Reports.cog is loaded
Setting up DB connections.
DB connections set.

+-------------------------+
| Prototype is on standby |
+-------------------------+```

    async def ainit(self):
        print("Setting up DB connections.")
        self.reports_conn = await aiosqlite.connect(self.reports_db)
        async with self.reports_conn.execute("SELECT id FROM report") as cur:
            self._all_records_ids = await cur.fetchall()

        self.infractions_conn = await aiosqlite.connect(self.infractions_db)
        print("DB connections set.")```

function definitely finishes executing

[proud mason]

hmm

and how do you run the bot? bot.run() ?

[magic pendant]

load_dotenv()
TOKEN = getenv("TOKEN")
bot.run(TOKEN)

[magic pendant]

Oh I see

Database setup <Connection(Thread-2, started 20580)> and <Connection(Thread-3, started 14204)> []```

the connections are in different threads for some reason

is there a function I could implement that gets invoked before the bot shuts down? (think I need to .close() the connections)

Also isn't aiosqlite supposed to be single threaded?

[proud mason]

yes

you would need to subclass bot

and override the init

so smth like this

async def close(self):
    # stuff
    await super().close()

[proud mason]

thats true

[magic pendant]

Gotcha, this does get invoked when a keyboard interrupt is sent right?

[proud mason]

yes

[proud mason]

try passing bot.loop to the connect function

[magic pendant]

    async def ainit(self, bot):
        if self.reports_conn is None:
            self.reports_conn = await aiosqlite.connect(self.reports_db, loop=bot.loop)
        async with self.reports_conn.execute("SELECT id FROM report") as cur:
            self._all_records_ids = await cur.fetchall()

        if self.infractions_conn is None:
            self.infractions_conn = await aiosqlite.connect(self.infractions_db, loop=bot.loop)
        print(f"Database setup {self.reports_conn} and {self.infractions_conn}.")```

set it to this ^

still seems to be threaded 😮‍💨

Is it possible to set an ApplicationCommand visibility to only owner?

[young bone]

Not possible

You could do Administrator but that would be kinda for the Owner of the Server

And you didn't say for which Owner

[magic pendant]

Which owner?

Ohh

My bad, i meant the bot owner (this is a restart command)

[proud mason]

aiosqlite does run a thread in the background for the actual sqlite connection

[magic pendant]

Ah I see

I've never had this problem previously with aiosqlite

which is very peculiar

[worldly schooner]

add reaction problem:

Yes the bot have the perms to react
Andreas got reacted perfectly fine
Luc was supposed to get the same reaction but it prompted this error instead

Any clues as to what could be causing this?

[young bone]

I mean Bot or Server Owner ^^ and no that is not possible

[young bone]

"reaction blocked"

[worldly schooner]

ik but why?

oh wait

[worldly schooner]

if he blocks the bot it will prompt this error?

[young bone]

does the bot has the permissions to add emojis?

[worldly schooner]

yes.

it got admin perms

ok apparently he blocked the bot, so thats why it prompted this reaction blocked

[magic pendant]

Gotcha, how about with server roles?

[young bone]

Only permissions sadly

[magic pendant]

How about permissions to see specific channels?

[young bone]

yes but this is with discord permission and not py-cord one

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

[ornate current]

i have stored

"hello" : "🪙"

in a json and it return weird characters when i access them.
it returns - 🪙

[magic pendant]

oh no I meant slash commands specific to only those who can see a channel, or to specific channels

[young bone]

encoding="UTF-8"

[worldly schooner]

is there a guide to export a log file from the bot upon a command?

like I want the bot to send the file logs.log after the command ~~log

[young bone]

Im not sure if this is possible

and how

[magic pendant]

alright, thanks eitherways 👍

Is there a component just to display large text (not input) for modals?

[round rivet]

nope

[round rivet]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/data_classes.html#discord.File
just pass filename and send it

[sand niche]

So... I just ran into a weird issue. I am getting an exception for an unknown interaction when sending a reply, but the line it tags does reply...

python error messages make no sense.

[silver moat]

send code and traceback

[sand niche]

if guild is not None:
  await interaction.response.send_message(content="This guild has already been registered.", ephemeral=True)
  return
```The code.

[young bone]

can you show more?

do you use that in a button/menu/modal or slash command?

[sand niche]

thats literally the first line in a slash_command. dont think its relevant.

also the guild var isnt a discord.Guild. its a model.

but it always returns none or a model

[young bone]

do you use discord.py or py-cord?

[sand niche]

thats the only other line there is.

pycord

and no, discord.py isnt installed.

[young bone]

ok

pls use ctx.respond for slash commands

[errant crane]

Here's the slash basic example.

[sand niche]

wow. thats why. thank you! 🙂

Right, and uh, the example doesn't show it, but does the slash decorator also allow you to specify permissions for the command or descriptions for the autocomplete?

[young bone]

https://guide.pycord.dev/interactions/application-commands/slash-commands

[distant roost]

Does someone know how i can use these timestamps fpor my bot? (i mean these: <t:8639998955999:R>)

[sand niche]

this answers my question about description, but not permissions.
Do I just need to handle checking in my command function?

[sand niche]

going to check discord.Options I guess. There really should be a basica example of that.

[young bone]

its like the normal prefix commands with discord.default_permissions

[sand niche]

Never once used prefixed though. And I checked the pycord guide page for prefixed commands and did not see an example either. :/

[errant crane]

Here's the slash perms example.

[sand niche]

Got it for perms. So actual role checking cant be done in a similar way? I have looked at the other examples in the repo.

[young bone]

But you know basic python?

[sand niche]

Look, you are being awfully rude about this. Stop telling me to rtfm when the manual is clearly lacking. I'm asking for a pretty basic thing: Do I need to just check for a role in the command itself, or can I can use the decorator to simplify things?

First, you linked me to pycord guide. Which did not have the answer I asked for. Then you told me "oh, its like the (legacy) prefixed commands. Okay, so I check that page on pycord guide. Nope. Then, instead of replying that it was an example only on github for some reason, you use a bot command which still didnt answer me.

I'm not stupid. Stop treating me like it in a help channel.

It is no big deal if I have to check. I just wanted to know if there was a better way that wasnt clearly documented. :/

[young bone]

for prefix commands it would be commands.has_permissions and for slash commands discord.default_permissions what would hide the slash command from users

but Im not sure if you still can see them and if they are 100% working like the commands.has_permissions one

[sand niche]

right but thats only default permissions it appears. I'm trying to check for a custom role. So like, restricting access by roleid.

[young bone]

for that you could do "if else" or has_role

[sand niche]

again, I know how to check in function. point was if there was a shortcut in the decorator similar to permissions, description, name, etc.

clearly there isnt. so nevermind.

[young bone]

at the slash command one?

I think I am also a little confused x3

I have way to much open at the same time

[mossy holly]

Hi guys, is it possible to edit a message (via interaction.response.edit_message from a slash command) so it contains a Paginator ? I do with Paginator.respond for now but it sends another message, I would like it to be edited in the original response

Thanks 😄

[obtuse cairn]

I'm current trying to move a role (custom_role) until it's above another role (bottom_divider) with this code:

while custom_role <= bottom_divider:
    print(True, custom_role.position)
    await custom_role.edit(position=custom_role.position+1)

This is the output:

True 1
True 1
True 1
...

Why is this happening and how can I fix it?

Or, are there any ways of consistently setting a role's position to be right above another role?
await custom_role.edit(position=bottom_divider.position) does not work consistently: the role is sometimes placed a few roles below bottom_divider

[mossy holly]

Maybe your bot's role is under the role you are trying to reach so it can't ? (i'm not sure if it's the same as users who can't change roles above them even if they are admin)

[obtuse cairn]

Nope, my bot's highest role is above both roles

[mossy holly]

hmm sorry in that case i can't help :/ (never used this ^^)

[obtuse cairn]

alr, appreciate your help anyways

[mossy holly]

Is the <= operator comparing the positions ? As I see underneath u use custom_role.position, maybe use while custom_role.position <= bottom_divider.position

[obtuse cairn]

from the documentation

[mossy holly]

yeah just saw while looking so nvm u are right

[solemn idol]

Use unix in python then format it into the designated form.

[proud mason]

.rtfm utils.format

[proud mason]

not really ngl

the paginator isnt implemented the best way it should have been

||whatever happened to @rare ice improving it 💀 ||

[mossy holly]

Ok ok thanks, that’s what I thought, it’s not considered a view so we can’t just pass it into edit_message, I’ll just delete the old response then (it’ll be a little ugly since it’ll respond to a deleted message but meh it’ll do)

[proud mason]

eh you might get stuff to work using some workarounds

paginator is actually a subclass of discord.ui.View

[mossy holly]

Oh ok thanks. yeah I’ll try a workaround then, I’ll tell you if I can make it ^^

[proud mason]

yea cool. go through the source of respond and send and see what all is happening

oh fuck wait

.rtfm paginator.edit

[mossy holly]

Wtf wait a sec lmao

[proud mason]

so sorry lol

[mossy holly]

Nah it’s me lmao I didn’t look in depth at the documentation (I used vscode with autocompletion and the description of the methods so I must’ve missed the edit)

Thanks a lot then ^^

[proud mason]

haha

Although this doesnt use interaction.response.edit_message

so you will have to defer and then use the edit method

[mossy holly]

Nice thanks 😃

[merry dune]

@proud mason i think u can help me now, sorry for ping

I remembered that if suddenly the host is somewhat unstable and I need to somehow connect to the message with the button so as not to restart the button cmd

[merry dune]

@strange beacon sorry but i haven't time and really i need help with code

My code

[strange beacon]

check your DM's

[errant crane]

Here's the persistent example.

[proud mason]

See this ^

[merry dune]

TY ❤️

[mossy holly]

I can't achieve it (sorry :x), seems like it can't create the message in the method (the interaction.message isn't None but the methods returns None (so i think it can't create it))

[proud mason]

I think you would need to defer before editing

[mossy holly]

I tried too same problem

but I'll just delete the old and send a new

[novel jay]

Do you access reactions via await msg.reactions[0].users().flatten() or something? Since when i do that it says list index out of range
Snippet of code im using (not full):

channel = ctx.guild.get_channel(12345) #this isn't the problem
msg = await channel.send(f"{giveawayrole.mention}", embed=embed) #nor this, this works
await msg.add_reaction("🎉")
await ctx.respond ("Giveaway created!", ephemeral=True) #I do defer before this
await asyncio.sleep(time*86400) #Time is chosen by user in the inputs
users = await msg.reactions[0].users().flatten() #This is where the error happens
```Nobody else can add reactions in my case

There are reactions on the message when the error happens

nvm i figured out a way to do it

[cerulean halo]

So the command worked successfully but afterwards it showed that message any fixes?
Except await ctx.defer() -> cause then the bot is thinking...

[young bone]

do you respond to the slash command?

[cerulean halo]

I send smth

Do you want the code?

[young bone]

do you use ctx.respond?

[cerulean halo]

No,ctx.send

[young bone]

you have to use ctx.respond

[cerulean halo]

Can you explain why?

[silver moat]

interactions require a response.

[young bone]

you have to respond to interactions

[silver moat]

Slash Commands are a type of interaction.

[cerulean halo]

Ok seems fair.

Ty

[silver moat]

What ctx.send does is send a message in the channel, not related at all to responding to the interaction.

[cerulean halo]

Yeah, I realized that was very retardedto ask ty guys

[silver moat]

it's not.

[sand niche]

Say I want to resolve a snowflake to a channel and then delete it, what would that look like?

I tried:

channel = discord.abc.Snowflake(id)
await channel.delete()
``` but I get protocols cannot be instantiated.
I see that there is a class for discord.abc.GuildChannel, but when I use that I see constructor takes no arguments.

[silver moat]

~~ You can use Partial objects. https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api/clients.html#discord.Bot.get_partial_messageable ~~

Actually nvm. I think you actually need the channel object itself

[sand niche]

okay, so I just need to make two calls? one to grab and one to delete?

[silver moat]

yes

[sand niche]

I need to do something similar for roles. wasnt sure if there was a way to save on calls though.

since I am doing it in batch, assume fetch_roles then grabbing what I need is better than two calls per role. I dont remember if roles had a plural equivalent. I need to look

ah, it does. good.

too bad there isnt a batch delete.

[solemn idol]

okay so uhm;

icon_url=ctx.guild.icon.url

I basically have that in my embed footer but I realised that this does not work for servers without a set icon... how do I fix this?

ctx.guild.icon returns NoneType when the guild has no server icon set

nvm just put an if statement which only shows the footer text without an icon if the ctx.guild.icon == NoneType

[rare ice]

How can I get a dictionary object of a discord.Message’s data?

[sand niche]

I feel like I am probably using defer wrong:

await ctx.defer()

seems to hang. Do I actually have to specify ephemeral and invisible or something?

[full basin]

What

Seems to hang? Wdym by that?

[sand niche]

as in, infinite loop. nothing else in the function or any other executes.

[full basin]

Show your code

[sand niche]

Sure. Sorry for the delay. had to step away for a bit.

async def configure(self, ctx: discord.ApplicationContext):
    await ctx.defer(ephemeral=True)
    #...code

If I change this to ctx.respond(content) and just use edit_original_message later, it works with no issues.

[proud mason]

How do you send the response after deferring?

[proud mason]

Try message.__dict__

See what you get

[fast badger]

is there any way to get a message just from it's id?

[silver moat]

Only if it's cached, Otherwise you need the Channel/Guild IDs

[fast badger]

ah ok thanks

[jaunty jewel]

how this bot have no online status ?:>

i mean if this is websocket playing that will be so epic

[sand niche]

hi om nom, It doesn't matter. I am not getting input from other functions either. I cant even see a print after.

[silver moat]

They are using the interaction endpoints only by receiving HTTP POSTs rather than over a Gateway with a Bot user.

[jaunty jewel]

there is any way to make it with pycord or edit in the activity functions to make something like this "examples will help :>"

[silver moat]

atm, nope

This has nothing to do with activity/status.

[jaunty jewel]

how they did that

[limber urchin]

You were literally told how they did it here

[obtuse cairn]

When I use any of the following two lines to move a newly created custom_role right below the top_divider role:

await custom_role.edit(position=top_divider.position-1)
await guild.edit_role_positions(positions={custom_role: top_divider.position-1})

The custom_role is always moved a few roles below the top_divider, and not directly below it. Why is this happening and how can I fix it?

[proud mason]

huh

[sand niche]

yeah something weird is going on. I am getting outputs now, but something inexplicably broken

[proud mason]

to do smth like that, you would need an aiohttp webserver or smth like fastapi/quart

[silver moat]

/flask (they have async support, afaik)

[proud mason]

flask async isnt great. but yes, since it wont be paired with a discord bot, it should be fine

[sand niche]

okay, so I have an update. it seems to be hanging when creating the roles. if I disable the create role line it works. tf

for key, role_template in role_templates.items():
  print(role_template['name'], type(role_template['hoist']))
  role = await guild.create_role(name=role_template['name'], hoist=role_template['hoist'])
  print(role)

role_templates is just a dict mapped with role names and hoist for now. If I comment out the role creation line, it loops through all entries. If I dont, it goes through one iteration and stops. No exceptions or errors.

[jaunty jewel]

modals can have dropdowns 🤨

[formal galleon]

Why slash commands may not be updated?

[green hinge]

Does anyone have any ideas on how I can make adding and removing the select menus better or is this already a good way to do it? 🙂

[fervent cradle]

how can I get the members avatar URL as png?

I've tried this:

profile_picture_url = str(member.avatar_url_as(format='png'))

[full basin]

member.avatar.url

Member.avatar returns an asset

.rtfm asset.url

[fervent cradle]

thanks

[worldly schooner]

is it a good practice to put all the imports into separated classes?

[green hinge]

Anyone an idea? 🙂

Got into an error

[young bone]

can you add ```py
for child in self.children:
child.disabled = True

[ornate current]

nope doesnt work

        
    async def on_timeout(self):
        for child in self.children:
            child.disabled = True
        await self.message.edit(view=None)```

[young bone]

what is the py-cord version?

[ornate current]

2.4.1

I fixed it

It seems that when i edit a message with the view it doesnt register the message

bug? prolly?

[solemn idol]

wait did you fix it or just find the issue?

[ornate current]

both ig

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]

Different topic but same checklist

[proud mason]

view.message is not set when it is sent by editing a message

[ornate current]

so what can i do then

[proud mason]

There is an open PR to fix this

Till that time, you can do

view = MyView()
await message.edit(... , view=view)
view.message = message

[ornate current]

i did something like this

    def __init__(self, msg):
        super().__init__(timeout=5.0)
        self.msg = msg
    async def on_timeout(self):
        await self.msg.edit(view=None)

            view = Pagination(msg=ctx)
            await ctx.edit(embed=embed, view=view)```

i guess it works

[stark walrus]

TypeError: Invalid usage of typing.Union```

How and why

[proud mason]

Not possible with Slash cmds. Input type can be a single type only

Discord limitation

[stark walrus]

Oh okay

Why does the example show double types

Does discord.VoiceChannel here refer to text channels inside voice channels?

[proud mason]

That is because they are both Channels. You were doing channel and role. That is not allowed

[drifting birch]

One of my cogs in not loading, but I don't know why. I'm guessing there's an error, but it's not displaying in console. I remember there was a way to show errors in cogs, but can't remember how

[limber urchin]

Do you have a try, except around your load_extension(s)? If you do, remove it and the error will be printed.

[worldly schooner]

I'm running this and doing the command, it simply does nothing

yes right below the flavor command it has the bot.run(token)

it does nothing

[young bone]

discord.Bot with a prefix lol

[worldly schooner]

it was empty before, so how do I call a command without a prefix?

just say the word and thats it?

[young bone]

discord.Bot are slash commands not prefix commands

[silver moat]

discord.Bot would register commands as a slash command.

[worldly schooner]

oh

mb

thanks

[silver moat]

If you are looking for text-based commands, you would be looking for commands.Bot

[grizzled sentinel]

Or on_message if you don't want a prefix

Not recommended (slow) and discord might not verify if you want to use onymessage tho

[silver moat]

no, they will verify you and your bot will simply not work.

[proud mason]

Don't forget those ^ @worldly schooner

[drifting birch]

No, I dont

I have already identified my problem, but I would like to have errors in the future

[worldly schooner]

thanks for all the help!

[proud mason]

Are you setting the store parameter to True when loading cogs?

Also what Py-cord version?

[drifting birch]

No

[drifting birch]

2.4.0

To clarify, I do get errors when the cog loads correctly, but something goes wrong during command handling. But I don't get errors when the cog fails to load

[worldly schooner]

Is there a way to have a slash_command visible only for the bot owner?

for owner commands as an example

or just dont use slash commands, use prefix commands instead right?

[proud mason]

you could register owner only slash cmds to a private guild with only you and the bot

[drifting birch]

Another problem I have, is autocomplete for options in slash commands don't really work. Only the first 25 options are shown, no matter what the user wrote.

async def test_autocomplete(ctx):
    return [str(x) for 
x in [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30]]

@discord.slash_command(
        name="test",
        description="test",
    )
    async def test(
        self,
        ctx,
        test: discord.commands.Option(
            str,
            description="Thing you want to test",
            autocomplete=test_autocomplete,
            required=True,
        ),
    ):
        await ctx.respond("test", ephemeral=True)

Am I doing something wrong?

[proud mason]

only the first 25 options will be shown. filter the list you show based on what the user types

[drifting birch]

that doesn't happen automatically?

[worldly schooner]

is there a guide for that?

[proud mason]

no. easy way would be adding if str(x).startswith(...) ... would be user input for the option

[proud mason]

just add guilds_ids=[12345] to the command decorator

where 12345 is the guild id

[worldly schooner]

tysm!

[solemn idol]

is there any way to do this better?

I use it to prevent any formatting in an embed based on user input obtained somewhere

[mossy holly]

~~Hey guys quick question: I use bot.get_user() with an ID to get a user's avatar (using the guild.fetch_member() is too long for some reason it takes 5s for 23 members) but bot.get_user() returns None each time (with both ids of ppl who are in the test server and ids of ppl who aren't), do you have any idea what I might be doing wrong ?

Here's the part of my code that uses it

tmp = self.bot.get_user(id)
print(id, tmp)  # debug
if tmp != None: self.set_thumbnail(url=tmp.display_avatar.url)

The goal is to display the user's avatar on an embed (and my test server uses another server database to try so the members ids are not all on the test server (so guild.fetch_member is not a good idea + it's too long for some reason)~~

nvm found the answer (using bot.get_or_fetch_user())

[mossy holly]

Well to avoid copy / pasting I would use a list (+ it's easier to add or remove new char / substrings) but otherwise idk another method to do it

I would do something like that

# Define all unwanted chars / substring here or somewhere else
UNWANTED_SUBSTRINGS = ['*', '_', '~', '`', '|', '>', '[', ']']


def sanitize(text: str) -> str:
    for substring in UNWANTED_SUBSTRINGS:
        text.replace(substring, "")
    return text

But maybe there's a method in pycord to avoid formatting

[solemn idol]

meh, thought there was some kind of built in function which would allow me to do this :P
Nonetheless thank you :)

[mossy holly]

Maybe there are, i'm pretty sure I already saw something about formatting (but maybe it was the other way around)

[astral mist]

how do u make linkedroles

is there a example sample/docs page

[proud mason]

You can't do that with py-cord

[astral mist]

oh

will that come tho

in the future for pycord

[proud mason]

Hmm I'm not sure

[astral mist]

do u know any other api wrapper that have linkedroles

[proud mason]

I don't think so, but check PRs and Issues if smth is open

[proud mason]

None of the ones ik offer that

[proud mason]

Regex could be nice

[solemn idol]

Regex?

[proud mason]

yeah regex

regular expressions

it is used for pattern matching

can be used for simple stuff as well as really complex shit

it is a built in python module

has a method for substitute

[obtuse cairn]

Is there any way to get an asset by it's cdn.discordapp.com link?

[proud mason]

perform a GET request on the link

use aiohttp

Hey, there in my bot every time an user create a ticket it gets stored in a .json file with this code.

        ticket_data = {
                   "creator_name": interaction.user.name,
                   "creator_id": interaction.user.id,
                   "create_time": time.strftime('%H:%M:%S')
            }

         with open("data\created.json", "r") as file:
             data = json.load(file)

             data[ticket_channel.id] = ticket_data

         with open("data\created.json", "w") as file2:
              json.dump(data, file2, indent=2)

Anyway i would like to add a filter so an user can't create more than X tickets, so i need to check in this file how many keys creator_id have x value. But i really don't know how i would do it. Anybody could please help me. Thanks

[solemn idol]

oh by the way; you forgot to modify the original string.

UNWANTED_SUBSTRINGS = ['*', '_', '~', '`', '|', '>', '[', ']']

def sanitize(text: str) -> str:
    for substring in UNWANTED_SUBSTRINGS:
        text = text.replace(substring, "") # Here you forgot to put text = ...
    return text

[mossy holly]

oops yeah sry

?tag nojson

[obtuse junco]

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

Advantages of using a database:

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

Popular database management systems:

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

[solemn idol]

lol no worries just thought of telling you xD

[proud mason]

iirc, your source needs to be like this
source = discord.PCMVolumeTransformer(discord.FFmpegPCMAudio(query))

https://github.com/Pycord-Development/pycord/blob/master/examples/basic_voice.py#L76-L79

[errant crane]

examples/basic_voice.py lines 76 to 79

source = discord.PCMVolumeTransformer(discord.FFmpegPCMAudio(query))
ctx.voice_client.play(
    source, after=lambda e: print(f"Player error: {e}") if e else None
)```

what is the python version?

that happend the most of the time if the python is not 3.8+

[coarse cargo]

I have a .yml config file where the user should be able to define the color of the button, i already have parsed it but i dont know how to concat it without getting an error

button_color: green

style=discord.ButtonStyle. < What i put here?

[young bone]

.green

https://guide.pycord.dev/interactions/ui-components/buttons

[full basin]

Shouldn't it be just .green

It's not a method

[coarse cargo]

Maybe i didnt explain it very well, i want to get the value of button color in the style of the button. But i dont know how to achieve it, so for example if the user select danger it should change

[limber urchin]

You can't do it like that, that's not how code works. You need to store a dict of the corresponding values to your strings

[cyan quail]

can you show how you've defined overwrites?

[harsh raft]

          #SetChannelPermissions

          else:
               member_id = None
               member_name = None```

I have these two sections

[cyan quail]

is guild.default_role returning a real role?

it looks like it's None

[harsh raft]

It's set to our Guild ID

So yes

[cyan quail]

yeah but what happens when you try to print it, for example

[harsh raft]

Issue we're having is that, all categories except for payment support aren't working.
https://i.imgur.com/FRyVInd.png

I've confirmed that the bot has access to the categories and correct permissions, the category ID's match up and it's intents are on.

[cyan quail]

aight lemme lay it out a bit clearer

This is your errorpy File "/home/container/.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/discord/guild.py", line 1213, in _create_channel payload = {'allow': allow.value, 'deny': deny.value, 'id': target.id} AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'id'In this code, only target.id can cause the error. So we first figure out what target is in the function:py for target, perm in overwrites.items():this is looping through each key-value pair in your overwrites dict, which is py {guild.default_role: discord.PermissionOverwrite(view_channel=False,send_messages=False, read_message_history=False)}As such, target is guild.default_role

and thus, guild.default_role must be None for some reason when you're creating the channel

so how does default_role work? all it does is attempt to return a role matching the guild's ID, the @ everyone rolepy @property def default_role(self) -> Role: """Gets the @everyone role that all members have by default.""" # The @everyone role is *always* given return self.get_role(self.id)If this isn't working, it means your role cache is disabled for some reason

[harsh raft]

Am I able to create a gc with you and the owner to speak about this? 😅

[cyan quail]

uhh you don't really need to, if you want you can open up a forum thread via #969574202413838426 or we can just troubleshoot here idk

[harsh raft]

Inviting owner here

[thorn saffron]

Hey @cyan quail I'm owner of the discord that the bot is running in

[cyan quail]

iseeisee

what intents do you have enabled?

[thorn saffron]

all

it was working and it randomly stopped

it works for our payment support tickets but not our others

[cyan quail]

hmmm it shouldn't really be a category issue...

could you try printing

1. guild.roles
2. guild.default_role
   and let me know the results

[thorn saffron]

but our linking system is also down (at the same time)
when i try doing the link command to pull their steam64 that's linked to their discord it gives this error

could it be the fact we don't have smod.members anymore?

the array

could be getting confused?

[cyan quail]

so presumably all those variables are roles

[thorn saffron]

correct

[cyan quail]

meaning you either deleted a role or you got the ID wrong

[thorn saffron]

    "CommunityRoleID":1049046310709366857,       
    "Management_role_id": 896145297128955974,
    "Operations_role_id":959002629533499402,
    "SAdmin_role_id": 896145295543533588,
    "Admin_role_id": 895995833382748241,
    "TAdmin_role_id": 899385196313452575,
    "SMod_role_id": 896145522870603816,
    "Mod_role_id": 895995793339715614,```

could that be the main issue for this bot?

[cyan quail]

possibly

try printing all of those variables (Management, Operations, SAdmin etc.)

and see which show up as None

[thorn saffron]

okay I fixed that

[cyan quail]

so back to the original question, does printing guild.default_role show the correct role?

[thorn saffron]

let me double check

it's not defined anywhere

[cyan quail]

i mean when you have e.g. interaction.guild or ctx.guild in some function

what shows when you print interaction.guild.default_role, for example

[thorn saffron]

nothing

[cyan quail]

what if you change it to print interaction.guild.roles

[thorn saffron]

where am i printing this btw?

sorry, I'm not a developer he's currently asleep but we have active players trying to make ticket's that's all 👍 so just trying to look for a fix

[cyan quail]

basically any command function or button/dropdown callback that has interaction or ctx in the args

might be better to open a separate thread for this

[thorn saffron]

yeah

could I not screenshare this for you?

          overwrites = {guild.default_role: discord.PermissionOverwrite(view_channel=False,send_messages=False, read_message_history=False)} 
          for role_id in ticket_type_info["RolesInChannel"]:
               overwrites[guild.get_role(role_id)] = discord.PermissionOverwrite(view_channel=True,send_messages=True,read_message_history=True,embed_links=True,attach_files=True)```

only thing I see with

guild.default_role:

[cyan quail]

oh

that makes so much more sense now

[cyan quail]

is this ticket_type_info["RolesInChannel"]

or if not, do show how it's defined

[thorn saffron]

that's from the linking system

[cyan quail]

basically

one of your role IDs in that list is wrong

[thorn saffron]

so someone deleted a role 😦

[cyan quail]

as long as all the IDs in there are real roles and integers, your tickets should work again.

[thorn saffron]

makes sense

got it, it was one it was meant to be removing

let's see if it fixes it

Done all that, fixed all the roles within config, still doesn't work

same error

in this for loop, can you add py print(role_id, guild.get_role(role_id))and try the button again

it's saying these @cyan quail

but 896145522870603816 isn't defined in my config?

well it must be

[thorn saffron]

it's not? 😂

[cyan quail]

are you 100% sure you edited RolesInChannel

        ]
    },```

[cyan quail]

you might need to restart the bot then

wait

that's not even the right one though

the code is referring to a different config file

[thorn saffron]

I've restarted it,

Roles = the ones who get added to the ticket
Removedonclaimed = id's who get removed?

[limber urchin]

"SMod_role_id": 896145522870603816,

that's in the config you sent

[thorn saffron]

that's not a config file @limber urchin that's a print error that the loop is picking up

[cyan quail]

ok

find where ticket_type_info is defined

[limber urchin]

Is this not a config file?

[cyan quail]

no it's just a dict

[limber urchin]

but the ID is in that dict

[cyan quail]

yeah but it's irrelevant because the code's iterating through a list

so it's not that

[thorn saffron]

I'm assuming it'll be

for role_id in ticket_type_info["RolesInChannel"]:

[cyan quail]

yes

either there's another config file containing RolesInChannel or you straight up missed it in the same file

that is what you have to edit

[thorn saffron]

Let me go on a search 😂

[proud mason]

If only you could have varible values in the errors

[cyan quail]

well that's why debuggers exist

[proud mason]

I would use a debugger. Smth like vscode debugger

[cyan quail]

but eh we're too far gone

[proud mason]

Yea lol I was saying the same

[thorn saffron]

or simply put RolesInChannel in the config file? 😒

[cyan quail]

...it already exists

somewhere

it's your code man idk

[thorn saffron]

Yeah haha not my code but yeah

if it was GMT timezone wouldn't be an issue

developer would be online

[cyan quail]

can you find where ticket_type_info is defined in the file

defined, not just used

[thorn saffron]

Hmm

 #If the ticket type has questions then send a model with input boxes else make ticket
          ticket_type_info = self.bot.questions_data["Categories"][ticket_type]

if this helps

[cyan quail]

ok....

so in your main bot file find questions_data

[thorn saffron]

FOUND IT!!!

[cyan quail]

nice

[thorn saffron]

it works now

[cyan quail]

nice

[thorn saffron]

thank you @cyan quail

here is an ice cream 🍨

[cyan quail]

if only...

[thorn saffron]

add me back

[solemn idol]

[grizzled sentinel]

I see you are trying regex. I recommend replacing things like * with \* So the user can still use the characters but it will escape the formatting. (Yeah I know this is old XD)

[solemn idol]

lol I will thx xD

[real frost]

wassup, How can i detect command usage other bots (like /bump) ?

I'm so confused rn

[young bone]

Why?

[bronze vector]

how can I remove @everyone role from guild's roles list?
ctx.guild.roles.pop(0) is just returning @everyone role

or am I doing something wrong?

[full basin]

The pop method returns the removed item

[bronze vector]

i always thought that pop is for remove, ty

[full basin]

It removes the item from the list

The method returns the removed item

[bronze vector]

yeah I get it

[silk spindle]

hello, is it possible to use a datetime argument for a slash command ?

[young bone]

for what?

[silk spindle]

in order to pass a date/time to the arg

but I found an issue on github https://github.com/discord/discord-api-docs/discussions/3303

[real frost]

thank you so much :)

[tired crag]

How do I get server ID / where is it in the docs

[proud mason]

guild.id where guild is a guild object

[tired crag]

how do I get guild object?

im assuming its like ctx.guild or something

[proud mason]

ctx.guild is absolutely correct

so you would do ctx.guild.id

[tired crag]

I saw somewhere that it's ctx.interaction.guild.id, is that different?

[proud mason]

nope

[tired crag]

i see

[proud mason]

ctx.guild is just a reference to ctx.interaction.guild. so both are the same

[tired crag]

because uh im trying to put the id into a sql db and its giving me errors
https://possiblepanda.hoponamong.us/🤨/747vxle8.png

[proud mason]

hmm. full traceback?

hmm doesnt have much info

can you show the line where your use this?

[tired crag]

yep

https://possiblepanda.hoponamong.us/🤨/fygyg95e.png

[proud mason]

ah

[proud mason]

move that , between the two )

btw guild id is already an int

[tired crag]

ah, let me try that

[tired crag]

yeah but I was getting that error before so I was trying it

[proud mason]

so you could do val = (ctx.guild.id ,)

[tired crag]

okay I have a new error

I'm pretty sure im using all parameters

[proud mason]

[tired crag]

bruh..

im not doing db.commit()

maybe that's it?

[proud mason]

i think you forgot the VALUES part of the query?

[tired crag]

nope. same error

[proud mason]

that is a issue, but not related to this

[tired crag]

oh, what's that?

[proud mason]

https://www.w3schools.com/sql/sql_insert.asp

[tired crag]

ive not really used mysql with python 😂

is that not val?

[proud mason]

you would put a ? after VALUES

[proud mason]

yea but you need to put that in the sql query too

[tired crag]

wait wdym

[proud mason]

so smth like INSERT INTO table_name (column) VALUES (?)

replace table_name and column

[tired crag]

oh

do I just do a ? or do I need to change the ? to something

[proud mason]

the ? is a specifier for the parameter

so yeah keep it like that

[tired crag]

okay

yeah still same error

[proud mason]

read this if you are interested https://docs.python.org/3/library/sqlite3.html#how-to-use-placeholders-to-bind-values-in-sql-queries

[proud mason]

hmm

[proud mason]

[tired crag]

kinda sus

https://possiblepanda.hoponamong.us/🤨/nzwqtfw6.png do I gotta do this?

AHA

no errors anymore but it's saying no database selected

and I can fix that

ty @proud mason ❤️

[proud mason]

ohh right mysql uses that 💀

im so sorry

[tired crag]

all good! lol

[proud mason]

i thought it was sqlite lel

[tired crag]

lmaoo

https://possiblepanda.hoponamong.us/🤨/2pgg4grf.png
bro wtf you're joking

na mysql hates me rn lol

https://possiblepanda.hoponamong.us/🤨/b2dxv0dm.png
is something configured wrong??

wtf going on lol

brb

back

[sand niche]

Say I have an interaction that my bot responds with an ephemeral message that is supposed to be added or changed later. If the user dismisses the message, does that count as the original being deleted for the context of a followup or edit? edit: typos

Should I just check for a not found exception and then just post the message with ctx.respond?

[rare ice]

sql sucks, use mongodb

[sand niche]

mongodb sucks. just put everything in memory and dump state to/from disk on shutdown/restart and give chrome a run for its money with memory usage. /s edit: typos

[rare ice]

then maybe not self host your mongodb?

[sand niche]

I was clearly making a joke. I have no opinion on mongo.

[rare ice]

"clearly"? we using a text chat app where i can't see your emotions

no shit i cant tell

[sand niche]

dude there is a /s. as in sarcasm. thats pretty clear and common.

[rare ice]

ok?

[copper pine]

Hello, I just want to add a link button to an embed. Can someone tell me how to do it? (I tried to search for help but the example in link.py requires a "query".)

[finite flame]

how can I use discord.utils.format_dt() to display the current time? I noticed that datetime.utcnow() gives me a time 2 hours shifted from my actual time

[rare ice]

use discord.utils.utcnow() instead of datetime.utcnow()

[finite flame]

ok noice

[silver moat]

It’s the same concept, just remove the variable

[copper pine]

Thank you, I didn't understand much.

[rare ice]

How can I add a view from the bot object in either the __init__ or the setup() of the cog?

[cyan quail]

bot.add_view works fine in init

[rare ice]

no

it says there is not event loop running

[cyan quail]

Then just do it in on ready with wait until ready

[rare ice]

i cant

[cyan quail]

Why

[rare ice]

i am doing it where all cogs load their own views

since its easier

[cyan quail]

Then make it an on ready listener in the cog

[rare ice]

oh

i didnt think of that

[young bone]

Im doing it every time like that x3

[lean marten]

My bot is supposed to grab the message of users (on_message) and send them in a channel (without any editing).
If a user sends a message with e.g. a imgur link (image) it doesnt display the embedded image in the channel but only the hyperlink.

How its supposed to be:
https://i.imgur.com/aKrQpCs.png

How it is sent:
https://i.imgur.com/BUAvy74.png

Any ideas how I can fix it?

[full basin]

I think your embed is overriding the image embed.

Does @discord.ui.button have a url argument?
Something the python says is missing.

[limber urchin]

The decorator does not, because a url button can't have a callback

[fast flame]

oh..((

[lost lodge]

how can i get the forumchannel?

[full basin]

The same way you get a normal channel.

[lost lodge]

like that?

channel = discord.utils.get(ctx.guild.ForumChannels, id=int(config_todo['channel']))```

[full basin]

.tias

[winter condor]

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

[proud mason]

I would rather use guild.get_channel

[lost lodge]

```Command raised an exception: TypeError: 'method' object is not iterable````

channel = discord.utils.get(ctx.guild.get_channel, id=int(config_todo['channel']))```

[young bone]

why get_channel?

[lost lodge]

#998272089343668364 message

[young bone]

that is not what @proud mason means

[lost lodge]

and what does he mean?

[young bone]

Im not really sure that a ForumChannel is

[lost lodge]

so you don't know what a forum channel is?

[young bone]

I mean this

[young bone]

channel = discord.utils.get(ctx.guild.ForumChannels, id=int(config_todo['channel'])) this should be fine for it?

[full basin]

guild.get_channel is a method

how does that work again?

hi

is there a way to detect when new forum post is created (like an event)

[lost lodge]

i would use on message and make a if request (if its in a forum channel). or go to the docs

[strange beacon]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/models.html#discord.ForumChannel.create_thread

It is content= not message=

discord.Interaction.edit_original_message

[fervent cradle]

I didn't understand, can you explain?

[real frost]

Hello, how to edit responded interaction through the paginator.edit()?
i've tried paginator.edit(ctx.message) and paginator.edit(ctx.interaction.message)

[knotty surge]

Hello all been doing some googles and not found anything. There anyway to return all users assigned to a tag such as @LoremIpsum (return all users)

[full basin]

What you don't get? It's a method, works the same as edit_messagr

[full basin]

You pass the interaction or context not the message

[full basin]

Users assigned to a tag? You mean role?

[real frost]

yeah, i know, but how to pass the responded message

[full basin]

[full basin]

Just get the role and use the atteibute

.rtfm get_role

[winter condor]

2 results

discord.Guild.get_role
discord.Member.get_role

[knotty surge]

So I would want to use Guild right to return all members with that role?

[real frost]

yeah

[full basin]

Try passing await ctx.interaction.original_response()

[real frost]

I need to just replace it right?

[fervent cradle]

What's followup and how do I use it?

[knotty surge]

Hello all, I am trying to return all users with a role. This is my code:

@bot.slash_command(name="createclass")
async def createclass(
        ctx: discord.ApplicationContext,
        role: discord.Role
):
    role = discord.utils.get(ctx.message.server.roles, name="mod")
    if role is None:
        await bot.say('There is no "mod" role on this server!')
        return
    empty = True
    for member in ctx.message.server.members:
        if role in member.roles:
            await bot.say("{0.name}: {0.id}".format(member))
            empty = False
    if empty:
        await bot.say("Nobody has the role {}".format(role.mention))

Getting this error: discord.errors.ApplicationCommandInvokeError: Application Command raised an exception: AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'server'

[full basin]

Yes

[full basin]

It's a followup webhook to send extra responses with interactions. It works the same way as.normal

[full basin]

It's guild, not server

And use ctx.guild

There's no need to use ctx.message.guild

Read the docs

[knotty surge]

so ctx.guild.roles for example?

[full basin]

Yes

And bot.say doesn't exist

[knotty surge]

Its only returning the first user

@bot.slash_command(name="createclass")
async def createclass(
        ctx: discord.ApplicationContext,
        role: discord.Role
):

    role = discord.utils.get(ctx.guild.roles, name= str(role))
    if role is None:
        await ctx.respond(str(role) + ' is not a valid BUD/S Class on this server!')
        return
    empty = True
    for member in ctx.guild.members:
        if role in member.roles:

            # Check if SA/SR only as INSTRUCTOR has tags also
            print(member.nick)


            # Create NAME TAG
            # SEND INTO ZIP

            #await ctx.respond("{0.name}: {0.id}".format(member))

            empty = False

    if empty:
        await ctx.respond(str(role) + ' is Empty!')
    else:
        await ctx.respond(str(role) + ' is Not Empty!')

[full basin]

You're overcomplicating a simple code

members = role.members 
if len(members) == 0:
    return await ctx.respond("This role has no members")

parsed_members = [f"{member.name} {member.id}" for member in members]

await ctx.respond(content="\n".join(members))```

It's as simple as that

You definitely need to learn more python

[knotty surge]

Indeed, I am learning more everyday. But its throwing this error

discord.errors.ApplicationCommandInvokeError: Application Command raised an exception: TypeError: sequence item 0: expected str instance, Member found

[full basin]

Full error

Code

And If you don't know python, you shouldn't be coding a Discord bot

[knotty surge]

I fixed it however it is only returning one user. My mate mentioned something about SERVER MEMBERS INTENT could be the reason why it is not returning more then one person

I've turned it on and it seems to have no change

[proud mason]

You have to turn it on in your code too

[full basin]

Are you passing the intents to the bot instance?..

[proud mason]

?tag intents

[obtuse junco]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/intents.html
https://discord.com/developers/docs/topics/gateway#gateway-intents

import discord
from discord.ext import commands

# Get specific intents for fine control
intents = discord.Intents()
intents.emojis = True

intents.messages = True  # Required for prefix commands!
...
# Get all non-priveliged intents; this excludes presences, members and message_content 
intents = discord.Intents.default()

# Set priveliged intents: these must be enabled on dev portal
intents.members = True
intents.presences = True
intents.message_content = True  # Required for prefix commands >= 2.0.0b5

# Get all intents; all intents must be enabled on dev portal.
intents = discord.Intents.all()

# Apply intents when creating your bot
bot = commands.bot(prefix="?", intents=intents)

[knotty surge]

sorted it, simply forgot to assign the intents. Thanks for the help!

Yeah that's an issue I have now too... Still waiting for a fix .-. but I suppose there are bigger issues at the moment.

[solemn idol]

... good question I haven't thought about threads and bots so much myself.

[lost lodge]

i've found this, but how can i add the actual tag?

await interaction.channel.edit(applied_tags=[""])```

[solemn idol]

I'm looking through the docs myself rn lol hold on

[lost lodge]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/models.html#discord.Thread.edit

[solemn idol]

Thanks

[lost lodge]

wait i found it, i just have to add the ids of the tags to the list

[solemn idol]

Yeah I was trying out an example at the moment xD good job I'm proud.

# Get the thread you want to edit
    thread = client.get_channel(THREAD_ID)
    
    # Define the new tags you want to apply
    new_tags = [discord.ForumTag(name="new_tag_1"), discord.ForumTag(name="new_tag_2")]
    
    # Edit the thread and apply the new tags
    await thread.edit(applied_tags=new_tags)

[lost lodge]

but how can i get the tag

ah with name

[solemn idol]

Here

[lost lodge]

smart

[solemn idol]

Yeah I am not sure if that works but I suppose it should work.

Lemme know if it works.

[solemn idol]

Forgot to ping you ig.

[lost lodge]

np

[solemn idol]

[lost lodge]

it's very weird, i tried your code, but nothing hapens, no error and the code continues

[solemn idol]

well I suppose add some print statements to know what it does.

debugging at its best

for example after defining the thread you wish to edit you can try printing the Thread variable

also make sure the bot has permissions to edit threads :P

Manage Threads permission is required for that.

[lost lodge]

well it returns the name (the id is needed), but if i add an .id the response is 0

[solemn idol]

why not just use the ThreadId variable you defined before for the ID if you need that again?

[lost lodge]

?

[solemn idol]

THREAD_ID = 123456789

#Get the thread you want to edit
thread = client.get_channel(THREAD_ID)

print(f"The ID of {thread} is {THREAD_ID}")

@lost lodge

[lost lodge]

but i need the tag id?

[solemn idol]

oh right tag id, sorry understood you wanted to get the thread id again

I'm not entirely sure if tags have ID's...

[lost lodge]

i need the id of a forum tag, not necessary via pycord (via the discord app is also good)

[lost lodge]

they have

[solemn idol]

they do?

[solemn idol]

oh damn

hmmm

It seems that the ForumTag class does have an id attribute.

So I assume you can do this;

new_tag = discord.ForumTag(id=TAG_ID)

[lost lodge]

but how can i get the id

[solemn idol]

still looking at that rn

[lost lodge]

ok

[solemn idol]

guild.fetch_forum_tags() ?

[lost lodge]

that doesn't exist

[solemn idol]

hmm

well I am out of options rn...

and ideas :/

[lost lodge]

me too

[solemn idol]

wait what about this;
https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/models.html#discord.ForumChannel.available_tags

WHat

[lost lodge]

i have it

[lost lodge]

this works

[solemn idol]

Ayyyyyyyy

literally the only line I found ab this

[merry dune]

Guys who worked with the database, what is better to use for a massive database for collecting identifiers, and a message counter, and what is easier to apply in coding (who says json (pls run away in forest 😅)

[solemn idol]

?tag nojson

[obtuse junco]

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

Advantages of using a database:

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

Popular database management systems:

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

[solemn idol]

there are some

for absolute massive amounts of data I suppose MongoDB can help you

does that help?

and he was never heard from again...

[merry dune]

Thanks and seems i can use Postgre in replit but is there anything free

[solemn idol]

anything good is never free

atleast not from my experience

[merry dune]

I don't want to create json, I really don't like how it works and sometimes if it collects more than 50k user data, my host burning

[solemn idol]

... sqlite3 for beginners... but I suppose at your seize MongoDB is good.

[merry dune]

today its one ping and button press i had to run the code from my phone because it has two streams per output

[merry dune]

❤️ i try it

[solemn idol]

You have to transfer json data to mongodb?

that's actually quite good for you, as they support that --> https://www.mongodb.com/compatibility/json-to-mongodb

[merry dune]

Idea counts messages in history entry error 4xx

Next time i create and collect data in db

[solemn idol]

jesus christ, 50K userdata???

boi

you're in for a ride

[merry dune]

We have 138k users on server

just to hold events and create a barrier for tweak accounts, we decided to create a verification level, and since the idea with the history failed so that the discord restricted access to messages, it was decided create db and after couple months add in verify code limit for messages

[solemn idol]

... you store all of that in Json?

@merry dune is that a yes or a no?

[merry dune]

No, now i looking for the best and best free option

[merry dune]

I can create json but how long will hosting with 0.5 cpu

[solemn idol]

ok for hosting, really you gotta figure that out ig you can use an aws server, if you have amazon prime nonetheless but other than that figure it out ig. MongoDB is what you should use for databases.

for bigggg databases

otherwise I can recommend a lightweight database Sqlite3

[merry dune]

TY u best❤️
Now i need open vpn and learn db❤️

[limber urchin]

Mongo is definitely not necessary in your case. Just use an SQL based database if you don't already know how to use Mongo

And for hosting, don't use AWS. It's relatively speaking overpriced and most of it's features are useless for a simple project like a Discord bot. Use something like DigitalOcean, GalaxyGate, Vultr etc.

[limber urchin]

The big hosting providers like Google Cloud, AWS, Microsoft Azure, Oracle Cloud etc. will typically make you pay more. Although being more reliable and robust, they're rarely worth it and you can find hosts for way cheaper.

And as for databases, NoSQL databases tend to create a lot of unnecessary complications with little payoff. 138k users is not even close to being considered a "big" database. When you start reaching hundreds of millions, or even billions of rows.. that's when NoSQL might come in handy. I highly recommend using a simple SQL based database instead, such as Postgres, SQLite or MariaDB.

[lean marten]

Hm, yes.
But what if there are multiple files/images/gifs attached?

[limber urchin]

Or just don't send an embed at all

[meager heron]

Is there a way to see if a message’s author is a webhook?

[elfin dagger]

i have a discord.ui.View class with an on_timeout function that disables all buttons but when i go to apply these changes im getting AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'edit'
i have no idea what's happening, i've checked all intents on the developer page and in main

[eager bronze]

i am getting this error when i try to reload a cog containing a bridge command
:'BridgeCommand' object has no attribute 'name'

the code is:

@bot.bridge_command()
async def reload(ctx, cog: str):
    try:
        bot.reload_extension(f'cogs.{cog}')
        await ctx.send(f"{cog} has been reloaded.")

[proud mason]

How are you sending the view?

[proud mason]

Yes that is a known issue

[eager bronze]

any fixes?

[proud mason]

Not that I know of unfortunately

[eager bronze]

so i cannot unload bridge commands using cogs?

[merry dune]

stop, I didn’t wake up, a person can be the initiator of creation, but not as a non-author, or I’m somewhat outdated, but only a bot or a web can send.
If you want to get user data to embed and send via webhook then the question is completely different

[elfin dagger]

await ctx.respond(embed = images, view = ImageScroll(timeout = 60))

im almost certain it's worked before but i don't remember :/

[proud mason]

I don't think so

[proud mason]

Are you deferring ?

[elfin dagger]

yes

[silver moat]

maybe update to latest version?

[proud mason]

Ah there is an open PR to fix that

[elfin dagger]

ah so it's a known issue

[proud mason]

But for the time being, you can do

view = View()
msg = await ctx.respond(...)
view.message = msg

This is only if you defer

[proud mason]

Yes

[silver moat]

oh I think if you defer, you do webhook.send, which we didn't assign the message object to the view, right?

[elfin dagger]

alright thanks i guess ill just wait for it to get fixed then

[eager bronze]

has this been fixed?

[meager heron]

I'm just needing to know if a deleted message was sent by a webhook. I'll check out that webhook_id bit that was linked to me, because it sounds like exactly what I need

[merry dune]

@meager heron but u can use same msgs
This embed in commands/events
And send in any channel/guilds and dms if u want send in dms

[merry dune]

for a webhook, all you need to do is send the already prepared data and display it

[meager heron]

I know how to create webhooks and send messages from them. This is specifically for reducing my database calls by only making them when a webhook message is deleted. It's very specific for my use case

[stark walrus]

how to make it so that Either role or channel argument (only one of them) can be passed
