uh

#

well there u have it

#

thx nelo

#

Oh

waxen whale
rare ice
#

well I do but I didn’t realize I needed to use add_item

#

I thought I tried that

proud mason
cyan quail
#

what threw me off is that the original BasicModal class you pasted here did use add_item

cinder pelican
#

Sorry, one more question (almost have Forms working now):

Is there a clean way to refresh a Page in Paginator? I have input coming from a Modal that updates the Page, but obviously those changes don't show rn without navigating away from that page

Would it just be edit_message and resend the Paginator?

If so, can I start it on a desired page?

silver moat
#

yay

zealous bear
#

how do you do prefix commands on pycord?

silver moat
zealous bear
#

to be honest

#

don't know what it was before haah

young bone
#

what?

silver moat
zealous bear
#

thanks

zealous bear
#

is it something wrong with this line

# 
bot = discord.Bot(command_prefix = "!", intents=discord.Intents.all())
silver moat
#

yeah it's commands.Bot

zealous bear
#

commands.Bot = "!"?

young bone
silver moat
# 
- bot = discord.Bot(command_prefix = "!", intents=discord.Intents.all())
+ bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix = "!", intents=discord.Intents.all())
zealous bear
#

they said discord.Bot

#

??

silver moat
#

?tag client

obtuse juncoBOT
# 
discord.Client # just for events
discord.Bot # events + slash/user/msg commands
commands.Bot # above + prefixed commands
bridge.Bot # above + bridge commands (application commands and text commands in one)
zealous bear
#

discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandRegistrationError: The command help is already an existing command or alias.

#

:D

silver moat
young bone
#

help_command=None

#

or that

zealous bear
#

and how do you do hybrid commands? i couldn't find that in the docs

young bone
#

prefix got an inbuild help command

silver moat
zealous bear
#

@bot.bridge_command()
async def ping(ctx):
await ctx.send("pong")

#

in that case the slash command works but the ! command does not

zealous bear
young bone
zealous bear
#

alright thanks

silver moat
zealous bear
young bone
#

^^

zealous bear
#

or not

zealous bear
young bone
#

also at the website?

silver moat
#

that's not how pycord works

zealous bear
#

!ping still isn't working 😭

silver moat
#

do you have an on_message event?

zealous bear
# 
@bot.command()
async def ping(ctx):
    await ctx.respond("pong")
zealous bear
young bone
#

thats why

silver moat
#

change it to @bot.listen()

zealous bear
#

alr

#

alright we good now thank you much guys

zealous bear
#

i've barely touched anything and now all of my slash commands have dissapeared?!?!?

#

😭

#

does anyone know something that would cause all slash commands to stop working

#

like not even showing up in the slash menu

thorny cipher
#

quick question: can you subclass a discord.ui.View with a Modal?

full basin
silver moat
zealous bear
thorny cipher
zealous bear
#

restarted disc

#

that didn't work

#

so i guess i should just wait it out?

silver moat
#

probably comment out everything, run the bot, uncomment everything then run the bot again

#

and then restart discord

zealous bear
#

okay

#

yeah that didn't work whatever

#

ill just wait i guess

#

so damn wierd

zealous bear
#

yeah the slash commands dont show up but my prefix commands work

#

and i've waited an hour

#

and it's not just me

#

none of the server members can use it

silver moat
zealous bear
#

ok

silver moat
#

when I say run the bot, I mean wait until on_ready

zealous bear
#

but i did it and it did not work

#

is this happening to anyone else?

silver moat
#

could you print the commands out through bot.walk_application_commands?

zealous bear
#

could you link the docs or ?tag it

silver moat
#

.rtfm bot.walk_app

winter condorBOT
zealous bear
#

awesome

#

walk_application_commands is not defiened

silver moat
#

version?

zealous bear
#

i should probably be using a venv but i haven't had any issues beause i use pycord for all my apps

silver moat
#

uninstall discord, PYCORD.PY, and py-cord and reinstall py-cord

zealous bear
#

done

#

didn't fix the no slash commands issue unfortunately

# 
@bot.event
async def on_ready():
    for command in bot.walk_application_commands():
        print(command)
    activity = discord.Activity(type=discord.ActivityType.watching, name="over TC")
    await bot.change_presence(status=discord.Status.online, activity=activity)
    print("Bot is fully functional and ready!")
    print("----------------------------------------")
#

is this the correct usage of the walk application commands

silver moat
#

yes

zealous bear
#

it prints nothing

#

that can't be good

silver moat
#

yeah means you have no application commands

zealous bear
#

cause even bots that are offline still show up in the slash command dashboard thing

zealous bear
#

i most definetely do

silver moat
#

.slashnoshow

winter condorBOT
#

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)?

silver moat
#

tbh I don't think this applies to you since it was working before

zealous bear
#

right

#

plus all of those seem good

#

cause it makes no sense for a command like

# 
@bot.command(server_id = server, name = "ping", description = "returns pong")
async def ping(ctx):
    await ctx.send("pong!")
#

to not work

silver moat
#

how are you defining your slash commands?

zealous bear
silver moat
#

and what is your bot instance, discord.Bot or commands.Bot or what

zealous bear
#

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix = "!", intents=discord.Intents.all(), help_command=None)

silver moat
zealous bear
#

well there we go

#

😭

silver moat
#

@bot.slash_command would be correct

zealous bear
#

awesome thanks

#

ahhhh

#

all for this

warm spire
#

anyone have a good way for users to input a date/time? rn im having them input a timestamp to make it easy for me. but theres gotta be a more user-friendly way.

silver moat
#

it has been there for at least 6 months tho, so I'm not sure about the feature's priority

warm spire
#

fugg it, i shall impose unix timestamps on my users

#

expand their horizons

silver moat
warm spire

so im just sending them to a date/time -> timestamp converter website

Hmm dk

earnest widget
#

is there any way to edit an embed without touching the image inside it?

#

the images inside my embeds are uploaded, dont have a static url

#

so if i edit it and use message.embeds[0].url theyll eventually expire

#

i wanna edit the embed and keep the image in it as is

cyan quail
#

when you use attachment:// it's uploaded to the current channel

#

unless it's an ephemeral message, which is designed to expire anyway

earnest widget
#

uploaded image in embed

(Action 2 happens)
Image URL taken from embeds[0].image.url

Set new emb

Edited old embed with emb

removed old file with files = [] otherwise the image doubles one inside embed one outside

#

I have a workaround where I'll upload all images to a common channel and then use their url instead of directly uploading them to a main channel but I'd rather not to the extra work of migrating if there's a built in way to go around it

#

Hey all, I have a persistent view with multiple select menus where MyView.is_persistent(MyView()) returns True, but when I restart the bot and try to reuse it, I'm getting "this interaction failed"

I'm using

async def select_callback1(self, select, interaction):
        [...]
        await interaction.response.defer() ```

between select menus. Is that the right approach?

Everything appears to work as intended until bot restarts. Any ideas?
cyan quail
pseudo surge
#

Yep, hence the MyView.is_persistent(MyView()) returns True

cyan quail
#

well is_persistent only returns whether the custom_id was set by the user

pseudo surge
#

Oh ok

cyan quail
#

but hm

proud mason
#

||there is a better way to use OOP||

#

MyView().is_persistent()

cyan quail
pseudo surge
#

Yes but there's four select menus and a button so apologies in advance:

 class MyView(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__(timeout=None)  # timeout of the view must be set to None


    @discord.ui.select(custom_id="select-1",
                       placeholder="What kind of character is this?",
                       min_values=1,
                       options=[
                           discord.SelectOption(
                               label="Monastic",
                               description="Pick this if you plan to live in the founding monastery"
                           ),
                           discord.SelectOption(
                               label="Representative",
                               description="Pick this if you plan to live in another clan"
                           )
                       ]
                       ) 
    async def select_callback1(self, select, interaction):
        characterType = select.values[0]
        self.s1check = True
        await interaction.response.defer()
#

Then three more and a button:

  @discord.ui.button(label="Submit", custom_id="button1", row=4, style=discord.ButtonStyle.primary)
    async def first_button_callback(self, button, interaction):
        if self.s1check and self.s2check:
            await interaction.response.send_modal(bioModal(title="Modal via Button"))
        else:
            await interaction.response.send_message("Questions 1 and 2 are required to submit", ephemeral=True)```

Then:

```py
@bot.command()
async def select(ctx):
    await ctx.send(
        f"Make a Character Book! \n \n First, what kind of character is this? {MyView.is_persistent(MyView())}",
        view=MyView())```
#

At the top of the file:

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
    bot.add_view(MyView())
#

Does it matter that I'm using bot = commands.bot instead of discord.bot?

#

Edited to include the button if that's helpful

young bone
#

But for commands yes

#

?tag client

obtuse juncoBOT
# 
discord.Client # just for events
discord.Bot # events + slash/user/msg commands
commands.Bot # above + prefixed commands
bridge.Bot # above + bridge commands (application commands and text commands in one)
pseudo surge
pseudo surge
earnest widget
#

for the embed

#

will that maintain the same imageurl after its uploaded as the previous one orwill that change

cyan quail
#

the way attachment:// works is that if any files in the message have a matching filename, the file will hide itself and show in the embed instead

#

but when you edit the embed using that url, attachment:// no longer exists so it shows both

#

so the solution is to set it as attachment:// again

earnest widget
#

o so its gonna maintain the same file inside the embed

cyan quail
#

mhm

The docs say there is such a property? "If applicable" of course, but shouldn't it return None or False if it's not applicable?

why ctx

tired crag
#

it doesn't like it for some reason

tired crag
young bone
#

() has to be empty

tired crag
#

gives me the same thing now

#

but look

#

it wants ctx in screenshot()

#

but idk why

young bone
#

?

tired crag
#

line 48 is screnshot()

#

and screenshot returns a discord.File

How to make a simple slash command to show info about user?

full basin
#

Read the docs and try

#

You won't get code

tulip ledge
#

Ok, I will try

young bone
tired crag
#

it was a strange fix but I fixed it

full basin
#

"Strange fix" had to remove the argument

tired crag
#

not at all

#

I had to move my functions inside on_ready and then change some other things around

#

ok wtf is this
File "c:\Users\possi\Documents\Dev\discordlogger\mainrw.pyw", line 17, in <module>
bot = discord.Bot()
AttributeError: module 'discord' has no attribute 'Bot'

#

I did pip update discord and now it gives me this??

full basin
#

Because the library on pip is py-cord

#

Not discord

tired crag
#

oh right

#

ok its still not working

#

wait hold up

full basin
#

You must uninstall all discord related libraries and only install pycord

tired crag
#

okay..

Code_Wnex6TJ3SP.png
full basin
#

It is imported as discord

still helm
#

i have a problem sending a file to a user. Thats my code

                                if fileSize < 50000000:
                                    file = discord.File(filename)
                                    await channel.send(embed=embed)
                                    await channel.send(file=file)
                                    user = self.bot.get_user(322812067994140672)
                                    await user.send(embed=embed)
                                    if fileSize < 8000000:
                                        await user.send(file=file)

The file was sended to the channel but not to the user, the embed is send to both, the file is not deleted. Is there anything i did wrong there?

full basin
#

You import discord

#

But install py-cord

tired crag
#

yeah I did

#

i un-imported discord

full basin
#

No

#

You import discord

#

But install py-cord not discordn

#

The folder name is discord. The library on pip is py-cord

Why are you importing pycord

why are you doing import pycord 😭

because I just uninstalled discord??

obtuse juncoBOT
proud mason

please have a read

tired crag
#

nvm shut up

same error

like when you install pycord, you will have to use discord

untold spoke
tired crag
full basin
proud mason
#

pip install py-cord

thats what you do

untold spoke
tired crag
#

I have a bunch of sensitive stuff on there

young bone
#

Not everyone at the same time pls guys ;3

tired crag
tired crag
proud mason
untold spoke
#

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="+",intents=intents, owner_id = owner_bot)

proud mason
#

dark you'll handle this?

untold spoke
#

like this

tired crag
#

but I don't use commands? I use slash commands

proud mason
#

mhm

young bone
#

Only slash_command use discord.Bot

tired crag
untold spoke
#

show your import

tired crag
#

import discord

#

that's all

proud mason
#

yk what do this

pip uninstall discord discord.py nextcord dissnake py-cord pycord
followed by
pip install py-cord

and keep the code unchanged

untold spoke
#

if you use slash command

#

i thing you can define bot = commands.Bot( intents=intents) like this

#

because i have some slash command and it work like this so

proud mason
#

?tag client

obtuse juncoBOT
# 
discord.Client # just for events
discord.Bot # events + slash/user/msg commands
commands.Bot # above + prefixed commands
bridge.Bot # above + bridge commands (application commands and text commands in one)
untold spoke
#

yes but if it works

tired crag
#

uh

#

it workedty @proud mason

proud mason
#

nice 👍

young bone
#

@untold spoke you dont need commands.Bot for only slash commands ;3

untold spoke
#

so you doesnt have installe a venv

untold spoke
#

i know its strange but sometime i have to import discord as disc for it work and then reuse discord

inland viper
#

using bridge command with typing var: Option(int) = 0
works for slash command
but error for prefix command discord.ext.commands.errors.BadArgument: Converting to "Option" failed for parameter "var".
is this because using wrapper on command?

young bone
inland viper
# young bone just do var: int=0

okay thanks, also is there a option for command that ignore parameter such as **kwargs ?
when using **kwargs it gives discord.errors.HTTPException: 400 Bad Request (error code: 50035): Invalid Form Body

Slash Command options have to be explicit.

is it possible to generate an invite link for your bot that's already directed at a specific guild and if so how?

I am trying to add the server Icon as a image to an embed, but I can't find how to do it, maybe that somebody wants to help

silver moat
lunar fossil
#

booth

silver moat
#

guild.icon.url

#

would be the image

untold spoke
silver moat
silver moat
untold spoke
#

i dont pass it into a string

#

but it still work so i dont understand what you mean

silver moat
#

Guild.icon returns an Asset object.

#

the Asset object has a method that allows it to be converted to a string, but the same result can be converted to with Asset.url

untold spoke
#

so we dont need to pass ourself this to a string

#

its automatic

#

if i understand or im totally wrong

silver moat
#

sometimes it is, sometimes it isn't

lunar fossil
#

I got it working, Thanks!

untold spoke
#

for thumbnail and image it always works

#

have you an example of when this doesnt work ?

how do i get the emojis in a guild

thorny stag

it just worked

#

it wasnt working before

untold spoke
#

@strong bobcat if you ask help then stop respond...

strong bobcat
untold spoke
#

and you can just eval i guess

strong bobcat
untold spoke
untold spoke
young bone
strong bobcat
strong bobcat
strong bobcat
strong bobcat
untold spoke
strong bobcat
untold spoke
#

so you will need to eval the texte

#

so you will have
@commands.command()
asyc def eval(self,ctx,*,text)
+eval(text)

#

for exemple

strong bobcat
untold spoke

Await outside async function? That shouldn't be happening, because your function is async, can you send your full code? (Not just the function, but also the cog, etc)

In the Discord Server settings you can enable or disable certain slash command for certain users or roles. Is it possible to set a default for that in pycord?
Default member permissions? Checks? Or is it simply not possible?

#

Hey y'all, been working on my first bot :) Was wondering if there was a way to render a button that is only visible to the author of a command?

silver moat
#

?tag ephemeral

obtuse juncoBOT
#

An 'ephemeral' message is one that's only visible to the person who invoked a command. If you ever got a command error with a blue background, this is an example of one.

To do this, set ephemeral=True when you first use an ApplicationContext. (This includes .defer()ing it; the choice of whether a message is ephemeral or not must be made up front. If you .respond() to a deferred message, setting the ephemeral flag at that time will have no effect.)

This is the equivalent of hidden=True if you're coming from interactions.py

e.g.

await ctx.respond("Imagine a message!", ephemeral = True)

await interaction.response.send_message("Imagine a message!", ephemeral = True)

hey, I have a python backend sending discord IDs to my frontend like below

@router.get('/bot_guilds')
async def get_bot_guilds():
    return [
        {
            'id': guild.id,
            'name': guild.name
        } for guild in Guild.get_all()
    ]```

and receiving it in my frondend (ts) I push it into this structure
```ts
export type PGuild = {
  id: bigint;
  name: string;
  icon: string;
  owner: boolean;
  permissions: bigint;
}

export class PartialGuild {
  id: bigint;
  name: string;
  icon: string;
  iconAssigned: boolean;
  isOwner: boolean;
  private readonly _permissions: bigint;

  constructor(data: PGuild) {
    this.id = BigInt(data.id);
    this.name = data.name;
    [this.icon, this.iconAssigned] = PartialGuild.getIcon(data.id, data.icon, data.name);
    this.isOwner = data.owner;
    this._permissions = BigInt(data.permissions);
  }```

could it be that the json in between can't handle the bigints? because sending this: `287585628852584460` in my backend ends up as `287585628852584448n` in my frontend

so i have the first command that uses autocomplete to select a variable in the config file for a server. would it be possible for the 2nd options input / autocomplete to change depending on the 1st selected?

such that if option 1 was "autoban" it would be true/false
but if it was "accountageflag" it would give you the ability to input day/month/year and then the amount?

def setup(bot):
    bot.add_cog(Utils(bot))

on line 3, "from cogs_list import cogs_list" when running the bot from the main file using

for cog in cogs_list:
    bot.load_extension(f'cogs.{cog}')

i get the error:
discord.errors.ExtensionFailed: Extension 'cogs.botutils' raised an error: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'cogs_list'

but when adding

...
from cogs_list import cogs_list

print(cogs_list)

class Utils(commands.Cog):
...

it prints the cogs just fine, why does it do this? it works when printing the variable normally by running the cog on it's own, but when calling it from the main code, it doesnt work

young bone
topaz ruin
#

inside the cogs_list is

cogs_list = [
    "cogname"
]

it's so the main file can load the cogs and so the "testcommand" can list them for future use
(testcommand will be renamed and should have @discord.slash_command too)

#

hold on, i got it to work using

from . import cogs_list
...
await ctx.respond(cogs_list.cogs_list)

For docker Linux containers (idk how this works w/ Windows containers), SIGTERM is sent to each process to shut everything down. By default, this simply stops execution of your program, but if you want your program to something else when it's told to shut down, you can catch SIGTERM by attaching a handler to the event loop your bot runs in https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-eventloop.html#unix-signals m

Python documentation
Event Loop

Source code: Lib/asyncio/events.py, Lib/asyncio/base_events.py Preface The event loop is the core of every asyncio application. Event loops run asynchronous tasks and callbacks, perform network IO ...

Also see the signals stdlib (you can have bad results if you try use only this with an async program tho)

Paginators are a subclass of views. So in theory, adding them with bot.add_view on_ready and giving each component a custom_id without a timeout would render the paginator persistent (i.e., able to be interacted with after a bot restart). But this doesn't seem to work

Ok this might be a bit weird, but it should be possible.

Make a subclass of PaginatorButton, and override the callback

In the callback, get the 3rd button in interaction.message.components (3rd button is index 2. This is the page indicator)

You will need to split the button label at / and get the first part. Convert it to an int. This is the current page number.

Set self.paginator.current_page to this

Then call super().callback with the interaction parameter

#

And use this subclass in your custom buttons function

# proud mason Oh right. Should be `[0][2]`

class ButtonClass(PaginatorButton):
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs) -> None:
        super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)

    async def callback(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):

        test = interaction.message.components[0][2]
        print(test)
        testsplit = test.split("/")
        index = int(testsplit[0])
        self.paginator.current_page = index

Btw that super callback looks perfect

pseudo surge
#

Ok, progress:

interaction.message.components[0].children[2] prints as:

<Button style=<ButtonStyle.success: 3> custom_id='paginator3' url=None disabled=False label='>' emoji=None>```

so the split doesn't work: `AttributeError: 'Button' object has no attribute 'split'`
pseudo surge
pseudo surge
# proud mason Hmm try `[0].children[2]`

Oh actually I think we wanted <Button style=<ButtonStyle.secondary: 2> custom_id='paginator2' url=None disabled=True label='1/3' emoji=None>

The 1 from the 1/3.

So I got this now by partitioning the string, selecting the [label number], converting to int, and setting to self.paginator.current_page = index

But this doesn't play nice with the page numbers. When you hit the button to go to the next page it jumps two pages instead of one and is locked there.

i already sent the respond

#

and then edit it later

having an eval or debug command is very normal, but while will always block your bot and you will have to restart

You're expecting to be able to handle an infinite loop? It's codings basics you never do that

cyan quail
#

it's as simple as not using while in the first place

static juniper
#

but others would

#

💀

cyan quail
#

why???????

static juniper
#

idk

cyan quail
#

maybe i can understand while k < 100 and increment k or something but that's just a for loop

#

if there's no condition to end the while loop then you're literally killing your bot

static juniper
#

💀 :(

#

While loops must have a condition that breaks them.

#

There's no usage.for infinite loops other than wasting time and resources

static juniper
#

can i use threading with my slash command?

full basin
#

Yes

        await self.bot.execute("DELETE FROM giveaways WHERE startTime + duration < (CURRENT_TIMESTAMP AT TIME ZONE 'UTC') - INTERVAL '2 days';")

            current_time = datetime.utcnow()
            if current_time > end_time:
                print('checked time')
                await message.edit(content="The giveaway has ended!")``` how can i check the time so that it edits the message? currently the start time, duration, and end time are in order: 2023-06-16 11:05:50.951275
19524 days, 11:06:11
2076-11-28 22:12:01.951275 seems like my calculation of end time is incorrect how can i fix this what am i doing wrong

Not familiar with threading at all. Can't give you a good answer.

worldly schooner
#

when reloading an extension after adding a slash command it does not appear to me, do I will need to restart the bot if I add a new slash command instead of just reloading an extension?

(this may change in the future)

you need to use asyncio.run_coroutine_threadsafe

proud mason
static juniper
#

um how

proud mason
static juniper
#

ok

proud mason
#

can you show what dep is

static juniper
# proud mason well, you would need to show me more than this to understand the structure

@bot.slash_command(description="Debug a python file.")
@option("attachment", discord.Attachment, description="Add a python or text file here.", required=True)
async def debugfile(ctx: discord.ApplicationContext, att: discord.Attachment):
await ctx.defer()
embed = discord.Embed(title="Debug", description="Running...")
code = await att.read()
msg = await ctx.respond(embed=embed)
o = StringIO()
try:
with redirect_stdout(o):
exec(code.decode("utf-8"), globals())
embed.description = "\n" + o.getvalue() + "\n"
except Exception as e:
embed.description = "\n" + str(e) + "\n"
await msg.edit(embed=embed)

Where’s threading in that tho? 👀
