[cyan quail]

change the function name for one

[patent knoll]

but doesnt that break the callback

[cyan quail]

so in your callback, just run self.stop() and stick await view.wait() in your main function

no the function name doesn't matter

[patent knoll]

or am i doint it wrong altogether

[cyan quail]

imagine if every function with a @command decorator had to be called "command"

[patent knoll]

so, with the callback, how do i return something to the "main function" again

[cyan quail]

you can't really, but instead just set what you want as a class attribute

like self.idk = ...

then back in your main function just access it through your view

[patent knoll]

and how do make the view stop taking inputs?
best way just to disable the buttons or?

[cyan quail]

self.stop() like i mentioned above will actually stop all inputs, but they'd still be pressable

so either disable + re-edit the message, or remove the view entirely

[patent knoll]

i tried self.stop but it didnt do anything lol

[cyan quail]

it should, but you just wouldn't see it

you'd only notice it after trying to use the view again

[patent knoll]

oh nvm it actually does, i got confused with my messy code doing other stuff

you cant edit ephemeral messages?

[cyan quail]

you can

[patent knoll]

i get a fat 404

[cyan quail]

depends on the method

is it your initial command message?

[patent knoll]

what is?

[cyan quail]

what you're trying to edit

[patent knoll]

yes, see

[cyan quail]

try ctx.edit

[cyan quail]

nah there you should use interaction.response.edit_message

[patent knoll]

oh, my bad

do i need self.stop() after that or does it not matter (60s timeout anyway)

[cyan quail]

self.stop() if you want to force view.wait() to end early

[patent knoll]

it ends when it receives a callback right

and also, last question for now, is there no way to manually delete ephemeral messages without using delete_after?

[cyan quail]

not automatically no

[patent knoll]

so i should always have self.stop after i'm done with a callback and the view's done with

[cyan quail]

assuming you don't want people pressing it again, yeah

[cyan quail]

interaction.delete_original_message / ctx.delete should work

[patent knoll]

should insta-delete it but it... doesn't lol

[cyan quail]

you could just do delete_after=0

[patent knoll]

no no, i dont want insta deletion lol

But that was just as a proof of it not working

[cyan quail]

what about ctx.delete

because it is possible

[heavy bough]

thanks, i got that to work nicely 😊

[cyan quail]

allgood

[patent knoll]

huh
well if i do ctx.delete() i cant respond to it after that, that, could've been foreseen

[cyan quail]

you could switch over to ctx.send

but if you're gonna delete and respond after anyway, might as well ctx.edit instead of deleting

[patent knoll]

i was gonna say

i tried editing now but neither ctx.edit() nor saving it as variable and doing .edit() work

[cyan quail]

idk about variable but ctx.edit should always work as long as the message exists

[patent knoll]

The message in question is the very first response to the command
Directly after that I do ctx.edit() and change the message but it just doesnt do it

i cant edit it via the button callback either

ok i can

thx, that's enough

though, is there a more elegant way, or do i always have to do view.wait() after using one

[cyan quail]

well, you are waiting for a response

other methods include restructuring all your code to go explicitly through callbacks

[patent knoll]

i also find
await view.wait()
quite funny

[heavy bough]

is it decent practice to have the commands and relating functions in one cog?
Or should the cog be just the commands themselves and the functions go in another file?

[cyan quail]

you'd only need to split it if you plan on frequently using those functions in other files as well

[leaden sedge]

I'm working on adding ChatGPT into my bot but it keeps giving me "discord.errors.NotFound: 404 Not Found (error code: 10062): Unknown interaction" on await ctx.respond message. It prints the message fine and I even tried it with ctx.send but for some reason ctx.respond just doesn't work. It works on other commands too.
Code for the command:

@bot.slash_command(description="Ask ChatGPT Something!")
async def chatgpt(ctx: discord.ApplicationContext, prompt: discord.Option(discord.SlashCommandOptionType.string)):
    messages = [
        {"role": "system", "content" : "You’re a helpful assistant"}
    ]
    
    messages.append({"role": "user", "content": prompt})
    
    completion = openai.ChatCompletion.create(
        model="gpt-3.5-turbo",
        messages=messages
    )

    message = completion.choices[0].message.content
    print(message)
    await ctx.respond(message)

[cyan quail]

you should await ctx.defer() first

as it probably takes more than 3 seconds

[leaden sedge]

so like

await ctx.defer()
await ctx.respond(message)
```???

[cyan quail]

defer before your gpt stuff

[leaden sedge]

ah ok

[proud sparrow]

cog_before_invoke isn't triggered when using ctx.invoke(), is this intended? Any way to work around it?

[cyan quail]

could manually run it

[proud sparrow]

Was looking for a way to grab the cog object but found it

[cyan quail]

get cog with bot.get_cog

mhm

[proud sparrow]

Oh

[cyan quail]

takes class name

[proud sparrow]

I did cogs[name] but that's cleaner, cheers

[cyan quail]

allgood

[coarse cargo]

how do i create a group of command (e.g commands like /ticket send) in a cog?

[errant crane]

Here's the slash cog groups example.

[cyan quail]

@coarse cargo

[coarse cargo]

Ty!

[cursive dust]

sorry if this is stupid.

how do a set the url a link button points too? i cant seem to figure it out.

[errant crane]

Here's the link example.

[heavy bough]

sys:1: RuntimeWarning: coroutine 'main' was never awaited````

This happens when i try to import a function from my "main.py" into a cog - is that not possible? How do i get around that? Without the import everything is running just fine

[young bone]

read the error

[heavy bough]

But i don't get how to fix that

def check_raspberry_pi():
    if (sys.platform == "linux"):
        print("Running on a Raspberry Pi")
        return True
    else:
        print("Not running on a Raspberry Pi")
        return False

this is all i am trying to import by using from bot import check_raspberry_pi
why is that causing issues with asyncio?

[young bone]

where is the async?

[proud sparrow]

If you import anything from main you need to put everything you want to run on startup in a

if __name__ = "__main__":
   do_stuff()
``` block

Otherwise you're running that code during import, I'm assuming you're starting the bot a 2nd time

Generally a good idea to not import from main regardless but it's also a good idea to always include this block in case someone does

[heavy bough]

i just substituted the original name, it is not actually called main 🙂
@young bone I am not sure what you mean, i have also tried making it asynchronous but get the same error nonetheless

[proud sparrow]

The name doesn't matter, what matters is if that file is what you call to start the bot

Anything you don't want to be run during an import must be in that block, __name__ of "__main__" is a python constant to define the file that was called to run the script

I'm assuming main is your starting file because of what name you chose to go by here, if not then ignore

If you could share the contents of main.py (you can ignore function definitions, just any function calls in there) that would help identifying the issue. You're 99% calling some function during import which is causing the issue.

[heavy bough]

oh i do think you have pointed me in the right direction
i was not aware it would execute the whole thing again just by importing one function from it
putting asyncio.run(main()) behind another if __name__ == "main": does seem to have solved my issue

[young bone]

?

[proud sparrow]

Yeah imports re-run the entire file which is why all function calls should be in the main block basically always

[young bone]

you have only ```py
def name():

but you have to do
async def name():

[proud sparrow]

Glad it worked

[young bone]

@proud sparrow

[proud sparrow]

His function isn't asynchronous

Nor should it be

[worldly schooner]

I got this error from the example from pycord guide of modalsdiscord.errors.ApplicationCommandInvokeError: Application Command raised an exception: HTTPException: 400 Bad Request (error code: 50035): Invalid Form Body In data.components.0.components.0: Value of field "type" must be one of (2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8). In data.components.1.components.0: Value of field "type" must be one of (2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8).

is that anything to do with the self.children thing?

[cyan quail]

can you show how you called the class in your code

[flat flare]

AttributeError: 'ApplicationContext' object has no attribute 'add_reaction'

[proud cargo]

Whats the alternative to on_ready that only gets called once

[proud mason]

@bot.listen() has a once parameter. Set that to True

It is on master branch tho

[sonic lotus]

Is it possible for a bot to click buttons on a message from another bot?

[proud mason]

App cmds dont have a "message" on them to add reactions on

[signal topaz]

how to see if the same user who used the slash command had interacted with a select menu on the message?

and if other users interact with his menu, it will send an error as ephemeral msg

[serene spindle]

Use ctx.author and interaction.user

[signal topaz]

Ty

[signal topaz]

um in this case the ephemeral msg is sent to the one who used the slash command though not processing the select menu which is great, but is there any way to fix the ephemeral msg?

[serene spindle]

How are you sending the ephemeral message? With interaction or ctx?

[signal topaz]

ctx

[serene spindle]

You’ll need to use interaction if you want to respond to the select user

[signal topaz]

got it.

[noble smelt]

How can I close the Modal Dialog window without answering anything?

[spring hare]

Cancel/escape on desktop
Back button/❌ on phone

[spring hare]

from abc import ABC, abstractmethod

class HelloWorld(ABC):
    @abstractmethod
    async def run(self):
        ...

class NotHelloWorld(HelloWorld):
    async def run(self, your_name:str):
        ...

Pycharm gives me this warning: Signature of method 'NotHelloWorld.run()' does not match signature of the base method in class 'HelloWorld'
Do I need to ignore that? How can I disable this warning (without turning it off in settings)?

[spring hare]

Oh wait, I found solution

class HelloWorld(ABC):
    @abstractmethod
    async def run(self, *args, **kwargs):
        ...

[cyan quail]

Modals should be sent with ctx.send_modal

[worldly schooner]

oh, thx!

[patent knoll]

should i use self.confirmed for this or is this fine

[snow widget]

for filename in os.listdir('./cogs'):
    if filename.endswith('.py'):
        try:
            bot.load_extension(f"cogs.{filename[:-3]}")
            print(f"Loaded extension: {filename[:-3]}")
        except Exception as e:
            print(f"Failed to load extension {filename[:-3]}: {e}")```
this is for loading at startup, but I would need to do something so that it reloads while the boot is running by saving the file in cogs with new codes, you understand. Well, it can be different, but mainly I need to not have to restart it and for it to be updated simply and quickly. Well AI didn't help me much because it doesn't work for me:
```python
async def reload_extension(bot, extension_name):
    try:
        bot.reload_extension(extension_name)
    except commands.ExtensionError as error:
        print(f"Failed to reload extension {extension_name}: {error}")

class ExtensionReloader(FileSystemEventHandler):
    def __init__(self, bot, loop):
        self.bot = bot
        self.loop = loop
        super().__init__()

    def on_any_event(self, event):
        if event.is_directory:
            return
        elif event.event_type == 'modified' and event.src_path.endswith('.py'):
            module_name = os.path.basename(event.src_path)[:-3]
            package_name = os.path.dirname(event.src_path).replace(os.path.sep, '.')
            extension_name = f"{package_name}.{module_name}"
            self.loop.create_task(reload_extension(self.bot, extension_name))

loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='!')
observer = Observer()
observer.schedule(ExtensionReloader(bot, loop), path='./cogs', recursive=True)
observer.start()

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
    print(f'{bot.user.name} is online!')
    bot.loop.create_task(change_activity())

async def start_bot():
    await bot.start("token")

try:
    asyncio.run(start_bot())
except KeyboardInterrupt:
    observer.stop()
finally:
    observer.join()```

[proud sparrow]

Either put it outside of the init (directly under the class) or has to be self for you to access it outside of the constructor

[patent knoll]

i can access it just fine with self.confirmed like this inside button callbacks tho

oh, wait

no im confused lol

I mean it works just fine how i have it, i can access the attribute like normal with view.confirmed, i'm just wondering if thats the way you normally do it

[proud sparrow]

[patent knoll]

[proud sparrow]

Honestly not sure why it works, maybe you're setting it somewhere else

[patent knoll]

works perfectly fine

[cyan quail]

no you're redefining it

[proud sparrow]

Yeah

[patent knoll]

oh

[proud sparrow]

Before confirm/cancel it doesnt exist

[cyan quail]

your confirmed in the init is doing nothing in that case

[patent knoll]

so how do i do it properly

[cyan quail]

self.confirmed

:3

(python is a very loose language)

[proud sparrow]

class ABC():
    confirmed = None
    def __init__(self):
        self.confirmed = None```

Either of those works

Typically if you aren't manipulating it in the init you'd just put it under the class definition

[patent knoll]

Why is it not printing anything and getting stuck here?

Do i need to fetch the channel properly first?

[proud sparrow]

can_send is not a coroutine, you don't need to await it

You should get an error though

[patent knoll]

ah nice, without await it works
weird

[proud sparrow]

Await only works on coroutines (asynchronous functions), typically reserved for anything that makes a call to the discord api

can_send is using cached permission data

[patent knoll]

i see, thought it needed to make an API call to fetch the permissions and then do its thing

[proud sparrow]

Docs are your best friend for this kind of thing, can't really know off the top of your head what is using cache

[patent knoll]

yea, but when you have 15 docs tabs open you start to hate it lmao

[cyan quail]

(Solution: use the search instead)

Or keep a single github.dev tab open so you can instantly browse the source code for anything in the lib

Or just control+click the function in your ide to see it

[polar parrot]

Hello ! is there a way to make this disappear when using a command ? (it says "the application does not respond")

[cyan quail]

Well, ideally your command shouldn't error

[polar parrot]

yeah I know how to make it work, but it's quite annoying to have that every time

[cyan quail]

If that's happening every time then it isn't working

[polar parrot]

it's working when I add a interaction.defer thing, but is there a way to just delete this message ?

[cyan quail]

Try ctx.delete but if that doesn't work then you need to fix your command

If you have to defer, then defer at the very start of the command

[solemn idol]

its literally an error of your command telling you something went wrong

[patent knoll]

So, according to wikipedia, the content_type can be "image"
But in my code...
it never reaches the print

[cyan quail]

Why don't you print the content type then

I'm pretty sure discords format is different

[patent knoll]

yea i just did
it's image/png
its funny how the solutions only pop into your head once you ask someone lol

[cyan quail]

For reference, you were looking at the 1996 types...

(And yeah print is your best friend)

[patent knoll]

lmao, yea

i suppose given the links name i cant just copy the attachment url and make it the embed thumbnail?

because itll be gone in like 10m?

[worldly schooner]

what am I doing wrong? I tried without the encoding too

[worldly schooner]

without encoding

[polar parrot]

now that i have a message like that, how can i delete it ? (the ctx.delete doesn't work)

[worldly schooner]

I think since its an ephemeral message you can just ignore the response

[patent knoll]

If I print "file" to console there's a TON of lines of stuff that looks like an image code - shouldn't this work?

doesnt do much more

[spare juniper]

Use .to_file

[patent knoll]

on the attachment?

[spare juniper]

.read gives bytes, send needs File object

Yes

[patent knoll]

yea but discord.File takes bytes

[spare juniper]

.rtfm attachment.to_file

[winter condor]

1 results

discord.Attachment.to_file

[spare juniper]

Read the desc of that method

[patent knoll]

perfect, thanks
really dont know why it didnt work with discord.File() given that it supposedly takes bytes

[spare juniper]

if you want to do that you need to create a discord.File object

wait nvm that doesnt work

[patent knoll]

i did here tho

[young bone]

And a file

[patent knoll]

what I understood from the docs is that it basically takes bytes and returns a file

[proud mason]

discord.File accepts both, bytes, as well as a file-like object

A file-like object is an object with read, write, and seek methods

discord.File is an object which can be sent to discord

[cyan quail]

You'd have to use bytesIO, but to_file does all that for you

[patent knoll]

fuck file operations
all my homies hate file operations

[spare juniper]

Try not doing the bracket stuff in the f string

Ive had a bad history of f-strings not working because of too many brackets or something

[cyan quail]

Eh it's fine as long as you know what you're doing and keep track of brackets (extensions help)

[cyan quail]

You should use io.StringIO(string) in fp to create and send text based files

[proud mason]

or use io.BytesIO and dont encode the json bytes into string

[worldly schooner]

thanks

[worldly schooner]

and also thanks

both helped me

[candid coral]

What should I learn so that a person can reply to messages already sent by a bot?

[spare juniper]

Uhhh

Cant people just click reply

[candid coral]

I mean Idk where the buttons section is

I'm trying to find this section, but I can't

I only found "wait_for"

[grizzled sentinel]

Docs: https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api/ui_kit.html
Guide: https://guide.pycord.dev/category/ui-components
I think this is what you want.

[candid coral]

Thank you so much 💓

[patent knoll]

Alright so this one is a bit confusing
Once I use ctx.defer(), my ephemeral message that follows isn't.. ephemeral anymore

[proud mason]

pass ephemeral = True to the defer too

[candid coral]

One bot message can only have one set of buttons?

[patent knoll]

you can add all the buttons you want to the view you pass to the message

[young bone]

The limit is 25

[candid coral]

I mean is it possible to change buttons after interaction?

[young bone]

yes

[candid coral]

Not just turning them on or off, changing the style, but a complete change in their function

[proud mason]

yes

[candid coral]

For example, there is one menu, when you click on a button of this menu, another menu appears in a modified message with other buttons

[proud mason]

you can send a complete new view in message.edit(view=view)

doesnt matter what was on the message before

doesnt even matter if there was any view on the message before

[proud mason]

you can pass None to remove the view

[candid coral]

For each set of buttons I need to create a new view?

[proud mason]

depends

you can edit the existing view (assuming you have the view object), or you can create a fresh one too

if you dont reuse any components from the previous view, it is best to create a fresh one

[candid coral]

Imagine how big the code will be...

Thank you

[proud mason]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/747680403778699304.webp?size=128&quality=lossless

[candid coral]

View + command + error

[patent knoll]

if you write dynamic code it mustn't be big at all

If you hardcode everything that's a different story

[candid coral]

Dynamic code..? What is it?

[patent knoll]

Like, you just write code in general that creates (a) certain kind of button(s)
once.
And then you reuse that code, maybe with labels that change based on given arguments to your (custom?) view class

[chrome skiff]

if i do:

for guild in bot.guilds:
  if guild.id in config().banguilds:
    await guild.ban(user, reason=f"Banned by: {ctx.author} | Reason: {reason}")

can it still ban people if they are not on the guild anymore or smth

because my global massban command gives me 403 but it has permissions

[candid coral]

Maybe on one of the servers on which he is joined, he doesn't have permissions?

[chrome skiff]

i have the same command for just to ban one user which takes the same guilds

and if i do the ban with 1 user it works

but if i take like 30 users to ban on like mutiple guilds i get 403

[candid coral]

Did you take the owners of the servers?

Or members with a role higher than the bot role?

[cyan quail]

even if you have permissions, if the user has a higher or equal role to the bot's top role you can't ban them

you can't guarantee that every server owner has raised the bot's role

(there's a rather convenient member.top_role attribute to check these)

[chrome skiff]

so something like if member.top_role > bot.user.top_role:

[cyan quail]

=

[candid coral]

Consider the server owner

[cyan quail]

also not bot.user, use ctx.me

[chrome skiff]

yeah

[candid coral]

What is a ctx.respond() for?

[cyan quail]

slash commands

(2.5 will also have interaction.respond)

[spring hare]

Is it possible to share args/signature between functions in class?
Example:

class Hello:
    def load(self, hello:str):
        # load...
    def run(self):
        # load...
        print(hello)
    def run2(self):
        # load...
        print(hello)

I don't wanna repeat signature every time and also don't wanna use self.hello every time
I tried locals().update(), but if function reassign var in code, locals().update() don't work

[cyan quail]

why not self.hello

that's like, the entire point

[spring hare]

It seems a little uncomfortable to me

[cyan quail]

eh...

[chrome skiff]

okay, bot i have to get the guild member obj then because my user obj is global

[cyan quail]

which is why i suggested ctx.me

that is the member object

[chrome skiff]

for the guild?

[spring hare]

Just wanted to know if it possible. Repeating self.x is a little bit frustrating for me

[cyan quail]

maybe...? you could try abusing globals or something, idk i haven't tried myself

i'd just heavily recommend against it because it will cause you a huge headache in the future

stackoverflow would probably give you something that works though

[spring hare]

Maybe there is a another way to share args? Idk

[chrome skiff]

so it would look like this:

[spring hare]

eval

💀

[candid coral]

Will the bot always reply to it's message when the button is clicked?

[cyan quail]

that depends on your logic

you can either reply, edit, or technically do nothing with defer

[cyan quail]

you'd also need to check

• bot has ban perms
• user doesn't own the guild

[chrome skiff]

yeah this bot is not a public one so i dont need to check it, its only used on like 6 guilds from one and the same person

they wont ban themselfs and the bot has perms on every guild

[cyan quail]

might as well check just in case so your massban isn't interrupted, but you can also try/except to skip every individual check

[chrome skiff]

but this would work this way?

with the top role thing

[cyan quail]

that check works for that scenario yes

[chrome skiff]

should i also check if they are on the guild and if they are already banned?

[candid coral]

The buttons work like this?

class name(discord.ui.View)
@discord.ui.button(label="name", style=discord.ButtonStyle.name, emoji="")
asyns def name(self, button, interaction):
...

...
..., view=name()

Is it possible to change the name of "button_callback"?

[cyan quail]

you already did

though, use different names for the class and function

(typically classes are Capitalized)

[cyan quail]

you could, but you technically don't need to as nothing happens if you use ban on someone already banned

[candid coral]

What does "self" mean here?

[neon bramble]

self always refers to the instance of the class which the method is being called from

[chrome skiff]

and if they are not in the guild

[cyan quail]

doesn't matter

as long as the user ID is real it'll work

[candid coral]

Where do I need to enter variables so that all buttons have access to their values, but execution of the command is local?

[worldly schooner]

Is it possible to load a File from a slash command? (me uploading to the bot)

[serene spindle]

Do you mean in the options of a slash command?

[worldly schooner]

yes

[serene spindle]

That is possible

[errant crane]

Here's the slash options example.

[worldly schooner]

thx

[serene spindle]

Yw

[worldly schooner]

How do I make an interaction send a modal? (eg. View triggering a Modal through a button)

[errant crane]

Here's the modal dialogs example.

[proud mason]

@worldly schooner ^

[candid coral]

I have tried several ways to pass information to the button but all gives me an error

I don't understand how can I sync buttons and command

I need buttons to understand what a current page is, but I don't understand how to pass a local value to it

If I don't figure out how to do this, I'll have to create a separate database...

[proud mason]

subclass View (or Button), pass the data you want to store in the init, and store it on a self variable?

[errant crane]

Here's the button roles example.

[proud mason]

smth like that

[candid coral]

Data at the time of use

After use this information is not needed.

[proud mason]

yea so?

[patent knoll]

how do i change bridge.has_permissions to slash commands? doing commands.has_permissions doesnt actually do it

[proud mason]

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

[patent knoll]

i thought default_permissions worked differently from .has_permissions

[candid coral]

Will it be costly to create a small database and delete it immediately?

[patent knoll]

why would you ever want to do that

[candid coral]

To pass temporary information between buttons

[patent knoll]

have you heard about variables

and arguments

[young bone]

you could use something like mongodb

[cyan quail]

bridge.has_permissions should implement both

[candid coral]

🙄

[patent knoll]

this command is slash only

[candid coral]

I can't pass a variable between buttons

[cyan quail]

then for that command, use @discord.default_permissions

[candid coral]

Or I don't understand how

[patent knoll]

you can absolutely do that

[candid coral]

How?

[patent knoll]

What exactly are you trying to achieve

[cyan quail]

default_permissions applies them on discord's end (which you can see in Server Settings > Integrations) and can be overridden by server admins

while has_permissions is an internal check run on the bot's end

[patent knoll]

yea i wanna do the above

[candid coral]

When the button was pressed, a variable with the value "2" was created, and after that another variable knew the value of this variable

[patent knoll]

Then have the button callback return that value to the function you're using the view in, and then hand over that value to the next view you are creating for the second set of buttons

[candid coral]

I will try, thank you

[worldly schooner]

After I press the button with the "❌" emoji a Modal pops up, but after submitting the Modal I want the message to be deleted and the modal to be closed, I'm having some trouble on this 😅. what should I do?

It just doesnt delete with interaction.delete_original_response()

[cyan quail]

you have to defer first

[worldly schooner]

oh, i will try

[uncut current]

I got a very quick question about sql (I am using aiosqlite)
whats the difference between

f"UPDATE join2create SET {key} = {value} WHERE channel = {channel.id} AND guild = {channel.guild.id}"

and

"UPDATE join2create SET ? = ? WHERE channel = ? AND guild = ?",
(key, value, channel.id, channel.guild.id),

[full basin]

As far as I'm aware, the second is better cause with the first it's potential someone can run sql commands

[uncut current]

the first one works, but the second gives me an error

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

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

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

Examples of parameterized queries for popular libraries
psycopg2: https://www.psycopg.org/docs/usage.html#passing-parameters-to-sql-queries
asyncpg: https://magicstack.github.io/asyncpg/current/usage.html
sqlite3: https://docs.python.org/3/library/sqlite3.html#how-to-use-placeholders-to-bind-values-in-sql-queries
mysql: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/connector-python/en/connector-python-api-mysqlcursor-execute.html

[full basin]

I think it's cause of the ? = ?

[uncut current]

the good thing is no sql injection is possible because every value is either an id or my own code

[full basin]

Don't know much about sql, sorry I can't help

[uncut current]

np

still thank you

[worldly schooner]

where exactly I should put the defer? I passed the ctx all the way down to the Modal.

The flow its like:

User says /treinar, selects a category, and then a modal pops up with the max of two fields. After the submission the result of it will be sent to me, and I will decide If I approve or deny the suggestion from the user, but I want to delete completely the message if I deny it after giving the reason in the last modal

the last modal is the MotivoNegacao

[cyan quail]

You defer the modal interaction then delete

[worldly schooner]

The view that is sent to me is the ViewTreino

so interaction.defer()?

[cyan quail]

interaction.response.defer

[worldly schooner]

alright

[cyan quail]

Then interaction.delete whatever

Probably works

[worldly schooner]

worked 🎉

thank you so much

[patent knoll]

Is there any way to get the actual mute duration when catching timeouts from the audit log? It seems to be behind by 1-2 seconds sometimes (the audit log entry creation date)

[cyan quail]

get member.communication_disabled_until and subtract the current time from it

[patent knoll]

yea but that's the problem

If the audit log entry sometimes lags behind by 1-2 seconds thats gonna make it be 1-2 seconds off
so e.g. audit log entries will say "59 minutes 58 seconds"

(im catching audit log entries and manually adding them to my my bot's database)

[cyan quail]

then sleep and correct it yourself

can't really do much about it

[patent knoll]

so just find a way to round it to the nearest of the possible timeout durations?

[cyan quail]

if they use the UI then yeah, but by the api technically any duration between 1(?) second and 4 weeks is allowed

are you using the audit log event or member update event

[patent knoll]

audit log, but wouldnt it be the same

[patent knoll]

yea but bot users get filtered out anyway

[cyan quail]

strictly speaking, if you desparately need an accurate duration then you can use member update -> make a now variable immediately -> sleep 3 seconds or so for audit log and fetch it

...but why not just save the end time

[worldly schooner]

I tried passing the filepath and passing it as a io.StringIO file, it keeps giving me this multiple arguments error...

[patent knoll]

Because the database is supposed to have the duration of the mute

[cyan quail]

...i think you're better off giving up that 2 seconds of accuracy then

[patent knoll]

https://tenor.com/view/unacceptable-adventure-time-lemongrab-freakout-armflail-gif-5515437

[cyan quail]

is that old = ... line your own code

the first positional is fp which should be the io object or file path, you should be passing filename=... or leave it out if you want to keep the same filename from path

[cyan quail]

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

[worldly schooner]

gah dayum my mistake

[cyan quail]

(also in StringIO you'd need to convert the dict to string)

[livid juniper]

Is there like a View class that I could call on whenever I have to use any button, like I can call it with arguments and it would generate with those?

[patent knoll]

Just make your own view subclass for that

[livid juniper]

I don't want to make a view subclass or method every time that a new button is made, so would I just use __init__ params to set the button's values?

[patent knoll]

lol what
you just need to make one subclass that takes the name argument and then assigns that to the button basically

self.buttonname.label = string

here's my code for a similar thing
to dynamically set the label you'd just leave out the label parameter in the actual button and then do self.confirm.label = "your string here"

class yourView(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self, label):
        super().__init__()
        self.button.label = label
    @discord.ui.button()
    async def button(self, button, interaction):
        #yourbuttoncodehere

[livid juniper]

i see, thanks

[patent knoll]

i'm not even sure if you need to override the constructor, you might be able to just put it right under the class definition (the self.button.label line) just try it out ig

[livid juniper]

it works, but now the question is how would i extend that to two buttons?

[patent knoll]

like to have variable amount of buttons or just 2 buttons total

[livid juniper]

a variable amount

[patent knoll]

hm

that i am actually not sure about but there'll be some way, maybe you can loop over the desired amount and create a button each turn
what exactly are you trying to achieve

[livid juniper]

like a single view class that can be instanced every time a button is needed

[patent knoll]

no but like what kind of feature you wanna make with that

[livid juniper]

i want to use it so i can type/use less code to do more, basically

[frail spade]

my code and after running it getting this error

[proud mason]

enable them on the developer portal

also, reset the token

never reveal the token to anyone

both can be done at https://discord.dev/

if you are making a bot for the first time, check out the guide https://guide.pycord.dev

avoid youtube tutorials, as they quickly get outdated
and avoid hosting on replit

If I pass variables into a persistent view, it will hold the information even after the restart?

In the example: If I pass all those parameters they will stay in the view?

[full basin]

No

You have to pass them again

[little vapor]

there's nothing about the order of the emojis in the documentation, at least from the links the bot sent

[worldly schooner]

but what if instead of variables I pass them in the message?

Example: read the attachment, and the user that I mention in the message (this whole message is a view)

[little vapor]

after a little while, i figured out that i can just sort those myself

[worldly schooner]

Is it possible to call the bot instance inside a persistent view?

Please tell me how to auto-update the message so that it does not overlap with other commands.

It is necessary that instead of the "update" button The bot has been updated.

How to create timestamp with the bot?

[sand beacon]

convert the timestamp to unix epoch and put the epoch time inside <t:{epochTime}>

[silver moat]

?tag Timestamp

[obtuse junco]

No tag Timestamp found.

[silver moat]

?tag timestamps

[obtuse junco]

No tag timestamps found.

[silver moat]

?tag Timestamps

[obtuse junco]

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

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

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

D: Date, says "July 4, 2021"

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

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

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

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

[spring hare]

I have a dilemma
What looks cleaner/more readable?

channel.send(...) # But you sometimes need to check type of the channel or get it with get_channel (if you have only id)
# or
channel_send(channel_or_id) # But you don't need to check type of your channel

[coarse spire]

It's up to what you think looks better, personally I prefer channel.send() though.

[young bone]

what?

[spring hare]

I just wanna get an opinion, thank you

[proud mason]

You might be interested in partial channels btw

.tga partial

.tag partial

[winter condor]

Partial Objects

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

Methods which can be used on them are -

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

Example Usage:

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

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

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

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

[proud mason]

In this example, do partial_channel.send(...)

Notice how you don't even need guild

[spring hare]

Okay, thank you. Looks cool, but I actually just wanna know, is channel_send(channel_or_id) more readable or not

[proud mason]

Well, if you want to send a fixed message string, then channel_send might be better, as it avoids code repetition

[spring hare]

I'm making visual programming language
I wanna simplify some hard parts of programming

I find oop... Uhm, a little bit hard for newbies

[cyan quail]

i'd argue channel_send is going backwards

that's literally v0 dpy

[proud mason]

True lol

[cyan quail]

and idk how that's meant to be "more readable"

[spring hare]

So, I will probably create tags system

If channel have tag "dm"

[proud mason]

Python is already the simplest you can get lol. If you need to go even simpler, consider practicing it more. Or start with scratch language yk

||you can even make discord bots in scratch||

[young bone]

Use HTML

[spring hare]

I think in oop channel.send just works better, but i'm not sure with visual programming languages .

[cyan quail]

i mean

the problem with trying to create an even more "visual" language is that the developer loses more control

which is probably the last thing you want with an extensive api like discord's

[spring hare]

Scratch4Discord, I know. But... Most developers and ordinary users who used it (and there were quite a few of them) said that it was too complicated

[cyan quail]

if scratch is too complicated...

maybe actually make an effort to learn how to program

i don't mean to sound too harsh, but you won't get far without trying to learn

[spring hare]

More like... Scratch was not built for this type of programming

[solemn idol]

technically if you try hard enough you can make a discord bot in almost anything.

[cyan quail]

true

but as om said, python is already significantly simpler than most languages (for better or worse)

If you're interested in the space and are willing to learn how it works, you're sure to make progress

[spring hare]

I know how to code, xd. I just wanna make a tool for people who actually don't know anything about programming.

[cyan quail]

hm

[silver moat]

I kinda remade discord.py in scratch last year

[cyan quail]

then ultimately, go by your own judgement and then get feedback from your users

[young bone]

||Do it with HTML||

[spring hare]

There is actually a really big gap between ready - made bots (moderation like mee6) and template - like bots

[cyan quail]

we can give you our own advice, but it would be from the point of view of people that regularly use python; not exactly your target base.

[spring hare]

Mee6 recently released scratch like programming. Almost the same thing I want to do.

[silver moat]

yag has a much robust system, but has a semi-steep learning curve

[spring hare]

I don't want to limit myself to just basic users. I want to make this tool convenient and powerful enough so that anyone can create fairly average bots in it.

[spring hare]

According to my survey, 30% won't even try this system because of its "complexity"

[spring hare]

I think, these are too fundamental changes to think about them later

[cyan quail]

not really

if your system is in such an early stage, everything should be subject to change

[spring hare]

Fair enough

Thank you to everyone who answered, you helped me a lot

[patent knoll]

yags stuff really is only good for automod

[fervent cradle]

Even though the member is not bot, why's that returning True?

member_is_bot = "True" if member.bot else "False"

Yeah I need it as string

[cyan quail]

just do str(member.bot)

[fervent cradle]

okay

[cyan quail]

how is member defined exactly

[fervent cradle]

in a slash option

[patent knoll]

if its not too much just show the entire relevant code

[fervent cradle]

it's big so i don't think it's a good idea to post it here

[patent knoll]

i have the exact same setup with user / member being a slash command option, and this returns false to me correctly

[fervent cradle]

still returning true

[patent knoll]

show your options, and make triple sure you are actually selecting a non-bot

or actually, print member before your str(member.bot) statement and check what that tells you

[fervent cradle]

i've fixed it ty

[patent knoll]

what was the problem

[proud mason]

https://tenor.com/view/assembly-x86-nasm-programming-error-gif-24887177

[coarse cargo]

For check if an user can see the channel the only way is looping the channel members or there is a better way?

In the docs i saw the #permissions_for() method but im not sure how i would use it.

[river summit]

is this the correct way to check if the user has permissions in slash command groups? i have every permission, yet the cmd doesn't work.

@commands.has_permissions(mute_members=True)

[proud mason]

use permissions_for() and pass the member. this will return the permissions object. then check if view channel is true

[proud mason]

use default_permissions

[errant crane]

Here's the slash perms example.

no, this is in an interaction and I want to edit it so it removes the visibility for one specific role but using the previous permissions it had except the one value I am changing

you should use channel.overwrites_for to get the correct object https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api/models.html#discord.TextChannel.overwrites_for

then you edit that object and use set_permissions with the updated overwrites https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api/models.html#discord.TextChannel.set_permissions

[quasi stratus]

Hi, i have two quick questions about interactions/slash_command :

• Is there a way to bypass the "response mandatory", like send a message without having the ugly "user used command_name" and without the discord error that the interaction failed ? I tried to delete the context but it keeps the gray line with the message "The origina message has been deleted" ?

• If i do a defer at the start of my function what can i do to prevent it to "think" forever if i get an unknow error that has not been handled (for example error in my database)

[proud mason]

you need to send some response. there is no getting around it. defer is the only option. you maybe use try, except, else, and finally to ensure that smth gets sent as a followup even if an error occurs

or you can send your own dummy message instead of deferring. and then edit it, instead of followup

[quasi stratus]

from discord.commands import CommandPermission, SlashCommandGroup, Option, slash_command, permissions

[coarse spire]

What are you trying to do?

[clear vault]

Slash commands

[coarse spire]

in a cog?

[clear vault]

yes

[errant crane]

Here's the slash cog example.

[clear vault]

I need the permissions

[coarse spire]

to check if a user has permissions to use the command?

[young bone]

for what?

[clear vault]

To grey out the commands for all except the developer

[young bone]

that is not possible

[coarse spire]

^

[clear vault]

(developer commands)

Not?

[coarse spire]

not possible to do that

[clear vault]

I use Pycord version 2.0.0.b5 on the PC and 2.2.0 on the server. PC works, server does not.

[young bone]

lol

that version is really old

Py-cord is at 2.4.1

[clear vault]

i know

[coarse spire]

I definetely recommend upgrading your PyCord version...

[young bone]

there where many changes and bug fixes so you really should upgrade it

[clear vault]

I don't necessarily want to try whether my bot gives errors with the new version that didn't exist with the old one. If you understand what I mean

[proud mason]

We don't support older versions

[clear vault]

You mean there will be no support for older versions?

[proud mason]

No. You are required to update to the latest one

Plus there won't be many breaking changes

You should go through the changelog

[clear vault]

Ok thanks

[clear vault]

And what does that mean?

[young bone]

did you upgrade to the new version?

[clear vault]

No, not yet. Now I try first to get the bot running. Another bot is already running with the same version.

[coarse spire]

We can't help you unless you upgrade to a newer version

[solemn idol]

How did you define your client variable?

[clear vault]

client = commands.Bot()

[solemn idol]

I myself use discord.Bot() not sure if this can fix your issue, but commands is I believe of the discord.ext extension while discord.Bot is new from the pycord fork :P

[clear vault]

I try wait

[clear vault]

module 'discord' has no attribute 'Bot'

[solemn idol]

wait nvm you're not using the updated versions on pycord

what version are you even using?

WHAT

[clear vault]

xD

[signal topaz]

if i use ctx.author(in an embed let's say) it sends name in the format of user#0001, what can i do to just send user

[solemn idol]

Jesus... Idk man... idk what features were included in there

[grizzled sentinel]

Please update to 2.4+ on both

[clear vault]

ctx.author.name or ctx.author.display_name

[signal topaz]

Try discord.Bot()

[signal topaz]

Ohk

[clear vault]

@signal topaz

[solemn idol]

try hard pip installing if it doesn't do that automatically :P (basically just giving the version with it)

[grizzled sentinel]

Author.name I believe

[signal topaz]

update to 2.4

[clear vault]

...

[solemn idol]

sorry my man but... you really needa update... this will become problematic otherwise .-.

[clear vault]

Is this an error, that the commands are not yet synchronised or another one?

[clear vault]

As I said before, I don't want to test whether the bots will still work then...

[grizzled sun]

Can you have it so that a @bot.bridge_command requires inputs when using it as a / command, but doesn't error out when using it as a prefix command without arguments?

[solemn idol]

Maybe.... are you uh using a debug guild?
Global commands take time to sync.

idk if that was a thing back in that version.

[clear vault]

Yeah i know. I dont use a debug guild rn

[solemn idol]

wait is that error on trying the command

or when startign the bot

[clear vault]

Yes

Tying

[solemn idol]

Oh. Yeah you might wanna check if your commands got listed globally then.

hold on-

[clear vault]

Yes?

@solemn idol can i send you a dm?

[solemn idol]

nah I gotta go rn anyway;

import requests, os, json
from dotenv import load_dotenv

load_dotenv()

with open("./data/web.json", "r") as f:
        data = json.load(f)

bot_id = data["bot_id"]

# Replace these values with bot's information
BOT_TOKEN = os.getenv('token')
CLIENT_ID = bot_id

headers = {
    "Authorization": f"Bot {BOT_TOKEN}"
}

response = requests.get(f"https://discord.com/api/v9/applications/{CLIENT_ID}/commands", headers=headers)

if response.status_code == 200:
    commands = response.json()
    if not commands:
        print("No commands found.")
    else:
        for command in commands:
            print(f"{command['name']}: {command['id']}")
else:
    print(f"An error occurred: {response.text}")

You can rewrite this a bit to get an accurate response (this is a seperate file you needa run) so it can get you your bot commands listed in terminal, it shows globally commands only. (if registered by discord)
What I mean with rewrite is, I loaded my discord bot id from a web.json file, but you can just include it in there, same for the bot token with the env part.

I usually run it seperately when my bot is running. (in a different terminal)

oki bye now

[clear vault]

Thank you

[topaz rune]

Hi, I would love to know how to send on a channel the content of my console when it send errors or things like this, does someone know how I could do it please?
thanks guys

[grizzled sentinel]

There are very few breaking changes. The bug fixes are much needed for some things like command registration.

[clear vault]

sure?

[grizzled sentinel]

You would need to catch the error and send it. Check out the error handling section the the guide.

[clear vault]

You can do this with an on_command_error event. Simply define the channel and then send the error in.

[topaz rune]

I've already did but im not really good at python and my english isn't as good as this :/ catch is with try?

[grizzled sentinel]

Is there any errors? My guess it the message is not cached.

[grizzled sentinel]

Yes, the guide is here It should help.
https://guide.pycord.dev/popular-topics/error-handling

[topaz rune]

thanks. can I send more messages if I dont get it?

thanks

[grizzled sentinel]

Yes for sure! I might not be the one to answer the questions.

Can you send the full traceback

[clear vault]

@grizzled sentinel I'll try updating pycord now if you give me the pip command

[grizzled sentinel]

?tag install

[obtuse junco]

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

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

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

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

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

[grizzled sentinel]

2b

[clear vault]

Thy

@grizzled sentinelNewest version now:

[grizzled sentinel]

When the message is being converted from the ID. It is unable to find the channel. I recommend getting the message yourself. By using the channel ID and message ID and a partial message.

[topaz rune]

ok thats not exactly what I meant, I literally talk about python errors.
actually I use my python code like this:
python3 main.py >> error.log
and then the console error go to this file.

I want to be able to send the python error into a channel, error like this:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/debian/.local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/discord/ext/commands/bot.py", line 347, in invoke

discord.PartialMessageable.fetch_message

[grizzled sentinel]

And ctx.channel should be a PartialMessageable

[tribal girder]

you mean like this?

[topaz rune]

yeeeee

[tribal girder]

use except and traceback library

traceback.format_exc

[topaz rune]

by any chance, could I get your code that sent u the text above? im pretty bad with dev

but still thanks a lot

[grizzled sentinel]

Go to the Per-Command Handeling section. I'm not sure why your case would not work

[grizzled sentinel]

What are you trying to import?

[tribal girder]

try:
    #code
    
except Exception as e:
    channel = bot.get_channel(id)
    await channel.send(traceback.format_exc())

[clear vault]

i try this:
if isinstance(error, discord.ApplicationCommandInvokeError):

[topaz rune]

do I have to place my entire code into the try?

bc I have multiples files and thousands of lines

[clear vault]

Got it thanks

[tribal girder]

no

[young bone]

but you know basic python?

[topaz rune]

yes, but im into severe medications that made me hard to concentrate and think easily, sorry

[young bone]

ok

[grizzled sentinel]

ctx.channel.fetch_message(msg_id)
You would just take the msg as a string/int than though.

[clear vault]

@grizzled sentinelLast thing. Top.gg I don't have a loop in the event?

message = await ctx.channel.fetch_message(msg)
await message.delete()

What are you trying?

And the bot should do that automatically or you with a command?

[topaz rune]

im sorry to re-ask, how do I have to implement this? I place it into all of my functions?

[clear vault]

What do you need?

Hmm let me see wait

[topaz rune]

when my python console send an error, it redirect to a channel on my discord

[proud mason]

Type of msg should be int

Also, no need to fetch the message. Use partial messages

.tag partial

[winter condor]

Partial Objects

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

Methods which can be used on them are -

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

Example Usage:

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

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

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

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

[topaz rune]

absolutely sorry to ask for so many details, I don't have all my cognitive abilities at my disposal, and I'm very tired

[proud mason]

Use get_partial_message on ctx.channel

[clear vault]

Like this?

[proud mason]

Use a global error handler

.tag eh

[winter condor]

Docs: https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/commands.html#error-handling
Example: https://gist.github.com/EvieePy/7822af90858ef65012ea500bcecf1612

[topaz rune]

more like this @clear vault

[clear vault]

The OM Nom Nom do you have a minute...?

[proud mason]

Link is for dpy 💀
But the same works for pycord

[proud mason]

Hmm. Full error?

Also, show pip list

You might want to update the topggpy library too

[topaz rune]

I dont want error from my commands like "you dont have right to do this", im talking about real python errors

[clear vault]

Is the full error

[silver moat]

there’s no stable update, you’ll have to take the github version.

[clear vault]

How?

[tribal girder]

hmm ok

import traceback

@bot.commad()
async def test(ctx):
    try:
        a = 1 + 'a'
        await ctx.send('no error')
    except Exception as e:
        await ctx.send(traceback.format_exc())

this will return error
you can use this not only for discord

[young bone]

you can remove the "as e"

[tribal girder]

yeah, or you can ctx.send(e)

[proud mason]

Yea real python errors should get caught in it too.
on_command_error will have all errors (including python) which come from commands and thier callbacks

on_error will have all the errors (including python) from anywhere (so cmds, other event handlers, task loops, etc). But is is clucky to work with

[silver moat]

and also on_application_error for application commands

[proud mason]

Yes

[silver moat]

and for each view also has an on_error

[clear vault]

@silver moat How can i download topgg from gihub?

[proud mason]

Find its GitHub link

?tag install

[clear vault]

and then?

[obtuse junco]

retrying rn

it works!

[fervent cradle]

Can someone take a look at #1103237419823800423 been stuck on this problem for quite a while

[topaz rune]

now do I have to place this on all of my functions?

[proud mason]

Is it an error? Or a warning?

Full error please

[patent knoll]

no.

[proud mason]

That is why you should use a global error handler and not that

[patent knoll]

lol

[topaz rune]

yeah, get it

[proud mason]

And wtf is this

[proud mason]

Use interaction.followup.send when sending the 2nd message

[topaz rune]

thing that bot understand it's a command

at least it work for my cute lil test fnc

[proud mason]

commands.Bot has a prefix parameter

I suggest reading the guide

.guide

[winter condor]

https://guide.pycord.dev

[topaz rune]

I know, but mine works, why would I change it

[fervent cradle]

to change the prefix if you ever want to

[topaz rune]

?

@bot.event
async def on_message(message):
    global users, file
    if message.content.startswith("_"): #permet de faire comprendre au bot que un message commençant par _ est une commande
        await bot.process_commands(message)

I legit only have to change the "_" to change the prefix

[fervent cradle]

yeah but if you ever have to go beyond on_message listner and use text commands (Not Application commands) then you will need to have a prefix by default the prefix is ! i suppose

[solemn idol]

is it even worth adding prefixed commands... discord basically completely destroyed that with / commands

[fervent cradle]

I still like prefix commands better than slash

so i make hybrid commands to fit both type of users tastes

[topaz rune]

same here

[proud mason]

Same with the commands.Bot parameter

bot = commands.Bot(prefix="_") like that

[topaz rune]

yes yes I know, but It mean that I need to modify my code, and as I said before im taking medications that makes me feel like high and it's hard to work like this so if I can let my code that work, imma not touch it

I dont even know if it's understandable ahah

still thanks for the advice

[topaz rune]

isn't this one just working for discord errors

?

sorry if im little bit annoying with this, I dont get the point

[proud mason]

No. That is for any errors arising from commands

[proud mason]

^

[topaz rune]

ok I think that i get it now thanks,
so for my case, it's better to use a on_error, right?

I'll look over how I can do it (my error handler at the moment is absolute dogshit anyway so I have to rework that)
If I find a good solution I'll post it here :P

[topaz rune]

Feel free to ping me if you find a better solution buddy

Hey there 👋

I'm having an issue with disconnecting all users from a specific discord channel.
I tried to methods:

channel = discord.utils.get(interaction.guild.voice_channels, id=channel_id[0])
            channel_members = channel.members
            for member in channel_members:
                await member.edit(voice_channel=None)

channel = discord.utils.get(interaction.guild.voice_channels, id=channel_id[0])
            channel_members = channel.members
            for member in channel_members:
                await member.move_to(None)

And I've got this error message: 404 Not Found (error code: 10003): Unknown Channel

[young bone]

do you have intents?

[modest mica]

Yes, actually I have no issues with move_to(None) in another command

[proud mason]

If you have the id, use guild.get_channel instead of utils.get

Also, print the id and it's type to see what is getting stored

Id should be an int, and not a string

[modest mica]

still getting this error

PyCharm saying this error

[fervent cradle]

I need the file path?

[cyan quail]

the variable will be an Attachment object https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api/models.html#discord.Attachment

this shows all the relevant attributes/methods you can do with it

[cyan quail]

it's just the typechecker complaining, you can ignore the warning

[modest mica]

Yes, but also getting error in console, and no idea why

[cyan quail]

can you paste the full traceback

[modest mica]

[cyan quail]

that's... a completely different bit of code

or do you mean to say discord.utils.get(interaction.guild.voice_channels, id=channel_id[0]) is causing this

(also you could have just used interaction.guild.get_channel)

[candid coral]

I ended up with quite a lot of code for a fairly simple button function. This is fine?

[vocal sentinel]

As someone completely new to coding and stuff, how exactly do i make a bot with pycord? I've learnt python. I have checked the pycord documentation. I don't know where to look, and what exactly to study in the documentation to create my discord bot. Can i create my bot just by studying discord.ext.commands or the other extensions? I am lost and confused due to being so new to all this. I don't have an exact guideline to work with.

[cyan quail]

probably?

[cyan quail]

we have https://guide.pycord.dev/

[vocal sentinel]

I've checked through that, but what's next? What else do i do? The guide doesn't teach me all the basic things i need to know to make a fully fledged discord bot

[cyan quail]

it gives you the structure to start one

we don't know what your goals are, so you use the guide as a basis for your bot to get it online and then you can experiment with stuff like events and extensions

[candid coral]

I couldn't figure out how to pass data between buttons, so I used databases

[cyan quail]

i guess that would be cleaner than some of the alternatives

but the main one would be subclassing to pass variables through

[candid coral]

I would like to understand how to do this

[cyan quail]

well, what does your current implementation look like

[candid coral]

When using the command an individual database is created with a single value — a page number. Buttons take this value and use it according to their algorithms. Also the buttons change a page number

[cyan quail]

did you subclass the buttons?

[patent knoll]

:)
I just reinstalled py-cord and it still doesnt work
Started to happen when i deleted discord.py which i had installed for some reason

[cyan quail]

or views, whichever

[cyan quail]

did you import discord...?

[patent knoll]

ah the file wasnt mine so i didnt check, no

[candid coral]

I don't understand what subclasses are. I used 3 views

I know about the existence of this, but I don't understand the task and implementation

😞

[clear vault]

Yes

[regal agate]

is there anyway to put all roles in a drop down menu without adding them all individually?

[proud mason]

yes

use a role_select

[errant crane]

Here's the role select example.

[proud mason]

like that

[regal agate]

thank you

[candid coral]

Is it possible to write this: "self.user.id"?

[soft girder]

Hmmmmm 🤔🤔

Is it possible to make a button that will count the number of clicks. Let's say the button was "Registration 0/16" I clicked on it and it changed to ".... 1/16"

[proud mason]

See the counter example on GitHub

[errant crane]

Here's the counter example.

[soft girder]

I don't mean through Paginator button

[proud mason]

??

I never said anything about pagination tho

[soft girder]

I mean page_ind....

[solemn idol]

here we go again...

[candid coral]

"self.user.id" isn't work :[

What should I write after "self." so that it gives the person's ID?

[solemn idol]

Why are you using self... use ctx.

self.bot is for your bot, self.user is... I don't see where you use that tbh. it's either just user.id or ctx.user.id

fetch it ig.

[candid coral]

I use "on_timeout(self)"

I need to find out ID in this function

[full basin]

What

[regal agate]

Extension 'cogs.server' raised an error: TypeError: issubclass() arg 1 must be a class i think this means that the main class isnt inheriting commands.Cog but it is so idk what causing it

[solemn idol]

I might be stupid, but I hardly understand what you're trying to achieve... (Dont get me wrong I'd like to help you, achieve your goal, but sometimes we do things too difficult (speaking of experience lol))

[candid coral]

class name(discord.ui.View):
    async def on_timeout(self):
        for child in self.children:
            child.disabled = True
        await self.message.edit(f"Time is over, {???.id}", view=self)```

[regal agate]

have you tried passing interaction and select?

maybe not select actually

[full basin]

If you want the ID, then you have to pass the user object to the class

[candid coral]

How can I make it?

[candid coral]

NameError: name 'interaction' is not defined

[regal agate]

well that makes sense

you dont have a decorator

what even is it?

a button a drop down?

[candid coral]

This is a function that is responsible for actions at the end of time

"on_timeout"

[regal agate]

this might be a dumb question but why isnt it in a event listener?

[candid coral]

It's in the class where the buttons are

[full basin]

Do you know how classes work?

[regal agate]

wait

so you made a whole new class for it or?

[full basin]

Because it's a function in a view. It has nothing to do with listeners

[regal agate]

i see
