Basic Pycord Help (Quick Questions Only)

[proud mason]

you might be better off using asyncio.to_thread

it does everything for you

it calls a function from a separate thread, so event loop is not blocked

[static juniper]

ok

so

[static juniper]

u mean i replace

this line threading.Thread(target=deb, args=(code, callback,)).start()

to asyncio.to_thread(deb, code, callback)

?

[proud mason]

that would work

it needs to be awaited btw

[static juniper]

ok

oh it's worked tysm

[proud mason]

awesome

[pseudo surge]

Done! Now the follow up question: any thoughts on making multiple or dynamic persistent paginators based on user input? Right now if I change the pages at all, it still remembers the old pages and mixes them in (which seems bizarre to me).

[proud mason]

multiple paginators will work with no changes required

if you are talking about same set of pages but sent multiple times, that will work rn with the code you have

if you are talking about different set of pages, then each set of pages will need a separate custom id. so maybe p1-prev, p1-indicator, p1-next. then p2-prev, p2-indicator, p2-next and so on

dynamically generated pages is a bit difficult. you will need to store the page determining inputs in a db (i assume you take some input from users and make the pages based on that)

you will then need iterate over all of the entries in the db, create a separate paginator object for each one of them and add to bot

[pseudo surge]

Aha! Thank you, that's helpful 🙂

[proud mason]

you will also need to somehow make a unique key for each paginator (you could simply use the row id which the db offers). you will need to use this unique key in the custom id

so 1-p, 1-i, 1-n for the 1st paginator
2-p, 2-i, 2-n for the 2nd and so on

@pseudo surge edited some messages ^

[pseudo surge]

This is really great thank you. I'm now working through different set of pages.

Would that also need to be added to bot?

Since the existing on_ready has: paginator = Paginator(pages=my_pages, use_default_buttons = False, custom_buttons=customButtons(), author_check=False)

Would I need something like: paginator2 = Paginator(pages=my_pages2, use_default_buttons = False, custom_buttons=customButtons2(), author_check=False)?

So a separate list of pages, a separate buttons function, and also a separate command to call the new pages and new buttons?

[proud mason]

mhm seems right. or you could make a dynamic function for the buttons

accept a string and prefix that to the custom id

[proud mason]

smth like this

so you will only need 1 function

[pseudo surge]

Ok I'll try it. I hardcoded two different sets of pages and customButtons() for now. They both work! What's weird is that the first one now posts twice when I use its command.

The original one throws lots of errors in the console too but all three (two from the first command and one from the second) are working 🤷‍♂️

[proud mason]

Huh

A few things i would ask you change would be to pass timeout as a parameter

And use button.label to get the index

Smth like int(button.label.split('/')[0])

Where button is the thing return by xyz.children[2]

[full basin]

anyone knows why my pycharm yells about pycord not being installed, when it clearly is

[proud mason]

Installed in pycharms venv? 🤔

[silver moat]

skill issue check your python packages

[full basin]

nope

im not using a venv

[silver moat]

https://www.jetbrains.com/help/pycharm/installing-uninstalling-and-upgrading-packages.html

[full basin]

https://dark.needs-a-hug.co/i/e2klxX.png

https://dark.needs-a-hug.co/i/mN9p0w.png

its yelling me cause its not in reqs

[silver moat]

yeah then add it to reqs

[full basin]

im using master, so im using git+

might be that? how is it that dumb?

[silver moat]

then specify a specific version/commit

[full basin]

i am

git+https://github.com/Pycord-Development/pycord@36fea34594a3b88ddc46b76e226b030ab555f542

[silver moat]

then click on "More actions..." and click ignore

[proud mason]

That totally defeats the purpose of master branch lmao

Hmm or maybe not

[pseudo surge]

Ok will do. I made a third paginator and it's working fine with the second. No errors and no doubling so we'll call it good for now! I'm going to spend the next couple of days implementing a db and trying to create pages based on player input. Hope it's ok if I jump back in here if/when I get stuck again. You've been tons of help and it's much appreciated 🙂

[proud mason]

Awesome 👍🏻👍🏻

I'm always here to help lol

[proud mason]

Oh btw a quick heads up. Having tons of persistent paginators might take up memory (since you would be loading all of them into the bot at startup)

Check how much memory consumption increases with around 15-20 paginators added. If the difference is negligible, then you are good to go

If there is a big difference, you might have an issue

You might need to implement a dynamic custom id paginator (difficult. Would need regex n stuff) and lazy load the contents

This approach might be slower, but more memory efficiency

[pseudo surge]

This is good to know. Especially since my plan is for all server members to have a personalized persistent paginator. We'll see how it goes haha

[eternal wing]

So i am making it when my bot creates a voice channel, it joins it and plays a lil audio file for 3 seconds and leaves. While in VS Code it works perfectly, but when i use Nuitka to convert it to an executable it does not play audio anymore and all for the error i get is ```
Nonetype: None

Literally doesn't help, but maybe someone here knows what it could be? With print functions i found out the voice object and audio objects are assigned, so is it maybe something with the ```
while channel.play(source)

?

[fervent cradle]

can i somehow disable a button outside the button class with the custom id?

[drowsy hound]

newbie here, I can't import discord (or pycord) after installing the library by pip install py-cord
any advice?
I'm stuck like this:

oh, nevermind, I didn't select the virtual environment... hehe

[proud mason]

happens

lul

[viral peak]

is there a way to suppress this error when my bot gets @'d?
Ignoring exception in command None:
discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandNotFound: Command "hi" is not found

[fervent cradle]

handle the command error and ignore it

[wary rover]

Hello!

If you need to set spaces for your buttons, here are 3 spaces I've found that work properly.

    # Spaces:
    # 6px : U+FFA0 (ﾠ)
    # 8px : U+2800 (⠀)
    # 13px : U+3164 (ㅤ)

Example:

@discord.ui.button(label="⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ABSENCE LONGUE⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀", style=discord.ButtonStyle.gray, disabled=True, row=2)
    async def absCallback(self, button: discord.ui.Button, interaction: discord.Interaction):
        pass

[full basin]

Does this look good on mobile

[fervent cradle]

is there a way to edit just a field of an embed from an interaction?

[wary rover]

On phones, you need to use the 8px only, the others won't work. That's cool, it lets you do both pc and mobile formatting.

[wary rover]

I spent 1 hour making this clean, but it's cool in the end.

[full basin]

Get the original response, get the embed, get the fields, edit the field, edit the msg with the new embed

[full basin]

Oh cool

[fervent cradle]

yeah i figured, i cba having multiple fields they make it look ugly for what im trying to do. id need to edit the description but only one single part of it

[fervent cradle]

async def on_command():
    print('command invoked') 
       
bot.event(on_command)```

does not seem to be working

this is in main.py

[warped jungle]

Idk why, but I keep getting this error when running my code (it has slashcommand groups)````discord.errors.ExtensionFailed: Extension 'cogs.xbox' raised an error: AttributeError: 'SlashCommand' object has no attribute 'name'

[full basin]

[winter condor]

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

[full basin]

me neither if you dont show code

[warped jungle]

sorry, forgot it, just a mmoment

    def __init__(self, bot):
        self.bot = bot

    xbox = discord.SlashCommandGroup('xbox', 'comandos relacionados ao Xbox')

    @xbox.command()
    @discord.slash_command(name="foto", description="Pega a foto de um perfil da xbox live",

        response = requests.get('https://xbl.io/api/v2/search/' + gamertag, headers=headers)
        photo = json.loads(response.text)
        link = photo['people'][0]['displayPicRaw']
        await ctx.respond(f"{link}")

nvm already uncovered it

[young bone]

Also dont use requests

[warped jungle]

why so?

[young bone]

?tag requests

[obtuse junco]

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

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

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

[warped jungle]

thank you very much

[fervent cradle]

well i have the code

i have an on_command listener

and when a command is invoked, it doesnt do anything

[tribal girder]

how do i make a select menu not expired? i set timeout to None but still interaction failed after a hours

[fervent cradle]

i've got a button that updates the participant count of the embed, but when i click on the button, the time resets back to what it was originally

        calc_time = discord.utils.utcnow() + self.duration
        end_time = discord.utils.format_dt(calc_time, style="R")
``` the duration variable is a timedelta of some seconds

 problem has to be in here, it doesnt set it as the current time, it updates the embed with a new date thats the original date and not the date that is relative making the countdown be pretty much useless. I also want to ask if having to query a db for all the participants in there is more efficient than to store the participants count in a variable, and update it that way adding by increments of 1. please be kind enough to ping when reply.

[fervent cradle]

and how can i access the global nickname of a user?

[granite stratus]

please ping me if you have the answer

[loud sail]

hey, why doesn't the bot leave the voice channel after 20 seconds if no one (except the bot itself) is in the voice channel anymore ...

[cyan quail]

instead of using create_task and while loops, use the tasks extension https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/ext/tasks/index.html

[loud sail]

okay, this?

[cyan quail]

that is part of it, but you still need to start the loop etc.

just look through the rest of the example

really the first example is more straightforward

[fervent cradle]

anyone? Member.global_nickname doesnt seem to exist

[cyan quail]

on master branch

global_name

[fervent cradle]

oh so basically just asking my bot to have a few errors i guess. any eta on 2.4.2?

[cyan quail]

idk

[fervent cradle]

how could i install it?

oh

[cyan quail]

probably in the readme somewhere

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

[fervent cradle]

[    ] Installing...[31mWARNING[0m: pipenv requires an #egg fragment for version controlled dependencies. Please install remote dependency in the 
form
git+https://github.com/Pycord-Development/pycord#egg=<package-name>.
Installation Failed``` whats the name argument to the setup function? i cant seem to find it in the setup.py file or any other relative ones

[loud sail]

is that what you mean?

[fervent cradle]

its just py-cord, found it no worries

[cyan quail]

ohok

[cyan quail]

pretty close; before using self.check_voice_channel_empty.start(), you should check if self.check_voice_channel_empty.is_running() otherwise it will error

[loud sail]

I don't get any errors at all. Nothing comes up in my console; the bot just stays in the voice channel after 5 seconds.

[fervent cradle]

can anyone tell me why this displays the time as 2 hours ago?

duration=datetime.timedelta(seconds=40)

                calc_finish_time = discord.utils.utcnow() + duration
                finish_time = discord.utils.format_dt(calc_finish_time, style="R")```
finish time suddenly becomes 2 hours ago

[fair ledge]

had a similiar issue once. All your time stamps are calculated in the same timezone?

@fervent cradle

someone has an idea on how ro make this work for bridge commands? currently that event listens only when using a / command and not for my prefix command

@bot.event 
async def on_application_command(ctx):
    print("listener works.")

[cyan quail]

on_command for prefix

[fervent cradle]

yeah, everything is utc even in commands just in case. the duration is a timedelta of seconds

[cyan quail]

utcnow is the UTC timezone, but finland uses UTC+2

so you will see it as 2 hours ago

[fervent cradle]

but shouldnt discord convert it to a tz independent time

if its utc

[cyan quail]

not really

it's just 0 offset

relative to your computer, it is 2 hours ago

[fervent cradle]

okay but when i first create the embed its the right time and when i update it, its still right time just resets to what it was originally

[cyan quail]

all format_dt does is wrap the unix timestamp in <t:time:format>

so e.g. epoch is <t:0>

<t:0>

for you this probably shows as 2am

[warped jungle]

how do I set a command permission oonly for administrators?

[cyan quail]

if it's slash, use the @default_permissions decorator https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api/application_commands.html#discord.commands.default_permissions

note that guild admins can override/change these permissions

[warped jungle]

thank you very much

[fervent cradle]

        calc_time = discord.utils.utcnow() + self.duration
        end_time = discord.utils.format_dt(calc_time, style="R")``` but this ends up showing the correct time

[fervent cradle]

when its made:

end_time = discord.utils.utcnow() + timedelta(seconds=time)```

when i update it:
```py
        end_time = discord.utils.utcnow() + self.duration
``` that resets the time for whatever reason even tho it is the same thing

[cyan quail]

but you're generating a new time?

[fervent cradle]

well i dont want to generate a new time when i add the button, i fetch all the info like the prize host winners and the duration until it ends, so theres no reason for it to change again if its permanent?

class EnterButton(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self, giveaway_data, get_entries):
        self.prize = giveaway_data[0]['prize']
        self.winners = giveaway_data[0]['winners']
        self.host = giveaway_data[0]['userid']
        self.duration = giveaway_data[0]['duration']
        self.channel_id = giveaway_data[0]['channelid']
        self.participant_count = get_entries[0]['count']
        super().__init__(timeout=None)

    @discord.ui.button(label='Enter', style=discord.ButtonStyle.primary, emoji='🎉', custom_id='persistent_view:GawEnterBtn')

    async def button_callback(self, button, interaction):
        r = await interaction.client.addUserToGaw(interaction.user.id, interaction.message.id)
        await interaction.response.send_message(r, ephemeral=True)

        chnl = interaction.client.get_channel(self.channel_id)
        msg = chnl.get_partial_message(interaction.message.id)

        end_time = discord.utils.utcnow() + self.duration

        self.participant_count += 1
        em = discord.Embed(colour=0x303136, title=f"🎉 New Giveaway! 🎉", description=f"**Prize:  ** {self.prize}\n**Hosted by: **<@{self.host}>\n**Winners: **{self.winners}\n**Ends **<t:{int(end_time.timestamp())}:R>\n**Participants: **{self.participant_count}")
        em.set_footer(text=f"Giveaway id — {interaction.message.id}")
        if icon := interaction.guild.icon: em.set_author(name='Giveaway!', icon_url=interaction.guild.icon.url)
        else: em.set_author(name='Giveaway!')
        await msg.edit(embed=em)``` also having it like this with the self.participant_count += 1 isnt good cus if someone clicks on it it still adds a number when it isnt meant to

[cyan quail]

just split across "\n" and take the 2nd last item with [-2] to get the existing line

and yeah i really wouldn't update it on every click in the first place, especially if you're expecting a lot of activity

[fervent cradle]

what do you suggest

update it in my tasks loop every 1 minute?

[cyan quail]

yeah was about to say

check if participant count has changed and then update

[fervent cradle]

and what about it?

[cyan quail]

basically

you take your description and use .split("\n") to separate it into a list of each line

and the second-last item in that list is the "Ends" line

so then you can just put that into your updated description

(though honestly, if you're already saving data for each giveaway then you should just add the start time in that saved data)

[fervent cradle]

oh yeah thats a good idea, but i think i wont need it? since i wont be updating the embed on each click anymore

just every minute

[cyan quail]

fair enough

[fervent cradle]

if i had a lot of people lets say like idk 100 people click at the same time it would break or something?

hmm idk, now im just thinking to remove the participants completely, i mean, most bots dont have it anyways

[cyan quail]

with the current setup of updating it on every click it would be somewhat troublesome yes

but yeah if you don't need participant count that also works

back when i made my gw system i just threw in that count after it ended

[fervent cradle]

it wouldve looked cool, but i think it would just not be worth for the future

i have that yeah

[fervent cradle]

do you have a new bot where you update it when someone enters?

[cyan quail]

no, since there isn't much point

and again, if there's high activity it'll just get ratelimited/laggy

[fervent cradle]

its only for looks i guess, even the bigger bots dont have any of that stuff

[cyan quail]

jagrosh's giveawaybot which has always been pretty popular used to update the timer every few seconds (before timestamps existed) which often led to outages

[fervent cradle]

ah, okay, well i have a tasks loop that checks for all giveaways that have the finished false boolean, it checks for the time if its ended and edits the message, i think its the most efficient

[cyan quail]

yeah that's a pretty reliable method

[fervent cradle]

in any case, i should always use discord.utils.utcnow() yeah?

[cyan quail]

as long as you're consistent then yeah

[fervent cradle]

how could i disable a button in a ui class in a message.edit

[fervent cradle]

if i have a partial message ^

[cyan quail]

just recreate a dummy view with them disabled

assuming the button style/labels etc. are always the same you can just mimic the view

[tribal charm]

Hey everyone, im new to making discord bots. So far i found out theres nextcord and pycord (discordjs aswell but im not happy with that even tho i prefer js) Can someone point me to a reference where i can learn about the differences?

[fervent cradle]

if i have a partial message ^

[silver moat]

You can see a list of Python Discord API Wrappers here: https://libs.advaith.io/#python

[cyan quail]

my answer's still the same

if it's a partial message you have zero info about the message

so you have to do it yourself or fetch it

[fervent cradle]

yeah its worked, thanks so much

[meager mica]

I'm using bot.wait for message is there a way I can make it async or run async function inside of th check

[silver moat]

?tag xy

[obtuse junco]

An XY problem is when you're trying to ask about your attempted solution, rather than your actual problem.

You are trying to solve problem X, using solution Y. Instead of asking for help with X, you ask about Y. This only results in frustration as whoever is trying to help you needs to ask several questions before even beginning to help you with your actual issue, wasting both their own, and your time. Always include as much information as you can about your problem, including attempted solutions. If there are solutions you've ruled out, include them along with an explanation as to why you've ruled them out.

[rare ice]

Do delete an ephemeral message, do I do the normal InteractionResponse.delete_message()?

[young bone]

It should work like a normal message

[rare ice]

Oh ok

[rare ice]

Not really

Did interaction.message.delete()

[gentle flare]

hey how do I get the input of a Modal form?

[full basin]

self.children[someIndex].value

[silver moat]

*some_index

[gentle flare]

ok and from where can I do that?

[silver moat]

from the callback

[gentle flare]

ah ok thx

[gentle flare]

Ok I now Implementet the awnser from before and now it says that I hava a NoneType in channel. Here is the Code:

class AnnoucementConfigModal(discord.ui.Modal):
    def __init__(self, CLIENT, CONFIG, guildid, *args, **kwargs):
        self.CLIENT = CLIENT
        self.CONFIG = CONFIG
        self.guildid = guildid

        super().__init__(
            discord.ui.InputText(
                label="Announcement Channel",
            ),
            discord.ui.InputText(
                label="Annoouncement Roles",
                style=discord.InputTextStyle.long
            ),
            *args,
            **kwargs
        )

    async def callback(self, interaction):
        content = discord.Embed(
            color = discord.Color.green(), 
            title = f"Announcement Config Updated :white_check_mark: ", 
            type = "rich"
        )

        channel = self.children[0].value
        roles = self.children[1].value
        ConfigManager.EDITAnnouncementSystem(self, self.guildid, self.CONFIG, channel, roles)
        
        await interaction.response.send_message(embed=content)

What am I doing wrong?

[young bone]

there is not any channel

[gentle flare]

channel is the input of the first TextField. But in the Function "EditAnnouncementSystem() I get the error that the veriable 'channel' of type NoneType is. I dont know why.

[young bone]

But you know basic Python?

[silver moat]

show the code for EDITAnnouncementSystem?

[brittle fable]

is there a time or timestamp option under discord.Option?

[full basin]

No

[fervent cradle]

hi do you know if there are examples on the event listener on_command?

for some reason, mine isnt working. wanted to check out listeners

had a print statement in it. and when i invoked a command, nothign printed

pls ping respond, anyone. thanks

[cyan quail]

there's nothing special about it? just takes ctx as the argument

[warped jungle]

Is it possible to create a command to make the bot speak in only one channel without storing info related to the channel in a database? (info = channel id)

[cyan quail]

a bit crude, but store the ID in a message which you fetch on startup?

[warped jungle]

thank you

[cyan quail]

or perhaps set a channel description and iterate through all channels to look for the correct one

[warped jungle]

I managed to do it in a similar way like as you said right there

[cyan quail]

ah voice channels don't have descriptions anyway

but hey whatever works

wait im stupid

[cyan quail]

why not just store the channel id as a variable...?

[warped jungle]

yeah, thats a pretty neat idea, I will use it

thanks

[elfin dagger]

how do you make this app thing, is there like an example on github?

[full basin]

[elfin dagger]

ty 👍

[torpid wraith]

I am editing a message on a task loop every 2 minutes. However, if the Discord API happens to go down for a short while (which doesn't happen often, but has happened a couple times recently), it throws an error when attempting to edit the message and soft locks the bot. Is there a proper way to handle this runtime condition? Would a simple try/catch be okay?

[copper pine]

While my bot is in ctx.defer, it doesn't respond to the rest of the commands. What should I do?

[cyan quail]

You can add an error handler for individual loops (check example on docs page for ext.tasks) or try-except also works, but do you really need to edit every 2 seconds?

[cyan quail]

You're probably running blocking code in this deferred command

[torpid wraith]

TYVM. And yes, I do (I think) to update game server information in a status channel.

[tulip ledge]

Here is the code:

class Buttons(discord.ui.View):
    @discord.ui.button(label = "Help", style = discord.ButtonStyle.primary, row = 1)
    async def button_callback(self, button, interaction):
            embed = discord.Embed(
            title = "Bot Help",
            color = discord.Colour.blurple(),
        )
            embed.add_field(name = "Text", value = "Text", inline = False)
            embed.add_field(name = "Text2", value = "Text2", inline = False)
            await interaction.response.send_message(embed = embed, ephemeral = True)
    @discord.ui.button(label = "Server Info", style = discord.ButtonStyle.secondary, row = 1)
    async def button_callback(self, button, interaction):
            embed = discord.Embed(
            title = "Server Info",
            color = discord.Colour.blurple(),
        )
            embed.add_field(name = "Server Name", value = f"**{guild.name}**")
            embed.add_field(name = "Members", value = f"**{guild.members}**")
            await interaction.response.send_message(embed = embed, ephemeral = True)

[coarse spire]

You didn't define guild. Either, you have to define guild, or change it to interaction.guild

[tulip ledge]

interaction.guild does this for current server?

[coarse spire]

Yeah

async def binichgebanntslash(ctx):
    await ctx.send("halo")```

DOesnt work

[coarse spire]

Are you getting any errors when you try it?

[clear vault]

nope

Command doesnt show

[coarse spire]

you need to change it to @bot.slash_command or whatever you defined your bot as

[clear vault]

doesnt work 😄

[coarse spire]

What did you define your bot as, and did you define it with discord.Bot?

[clear vault]

commands.bot

[coarse spire]

You need to change it to discord.Bot

[clear vault]

Why

[coarse spire]

commands.Bot only works for prefixed commands

[clear vault]

Nvm got it already

[coarse spire]

And you can remove the command_prefix from discord.Bot as discord.Bot only is for slash commands

[clear vault]

But it still doesnt work

[coarse spire]

And your slash command looks like this:

@bot.slash_command(name=f'binichgebannt',
                       description=f':no_entry: » Glaubst du, dass du vom Bot ausgeschlossen bist? Bekommst du komische Fehler?')
@commands.cooldown(1, 1000, commands.BucketType.user)
async def binichgebanntslash(ctx):
    await ctx.send("halo")```?

[clear vault]

Yes

no cog

[coarse spire]

Does the bot start up properly?

[clear vault]

Yes

[coarse spire]

Can you show your code where you define the bot, and the code for the slash command?

[tulip ledge]

But the view also shows only 2nd button

[coarse spire]

Ah, yeah. The callbacks needs to be different if you have more than 1 button in the view. So change the second callback's name to second_button_callback or something

[tulip ledge]

Ok, I will try this

[clear vault]

bot = discord.Bot(command_prefix=commands.when_mentioned_or("."), intents=intent)
botcolor = 0xffffff

tempchannel = SlashCommandGroup(name="tempchannel", description="Die Standart TempChannel Befehle.", guild_ids=[717854928944496774])


@tempchannel.command(name='add', description='Füge einen Voice Channel als TempChannel hinzu.')
@commands.guild_only()
@commands.cooldown(1, 4, commands.BucketType.user)
async def addtempchannel(ctx, channel: Option(discord.VoiceChannel, 'Dieser Channel wird als TempChannel hinzugefügt', required=True)):
....```

[coarse spire]

Did you import SlashCommandGroup?

[tulip ledge]

Thanks for help

[clear vault]

from discord.commands import SlashCommandGroup, Option, slash_command```

[coarse spire]

Replace that with from discord import SlashCommandGroup, option

[clear vault]

Let me try

Nope

[coarse spire]

Change channel : Option(discord.VoiceChannel, .....) to channel : discord.Option(.......)

[tulip ledge]

But how to make a variable that is an optional value for members to add?

[clear vault]

Why? xD

I have imported Option from discord

[coarse spire]

You still need to use discord.Option. You imported option from discord. Not Option

[coarse spire]

For a slash command, or what?

[clear vault]

Option

I imported option

[tulip ledge]

Yes, for slash command

[coarse spire]

if you're using discord.Option you can just pass required=False

[tulip ledge]

discord.Option?

[coarse spire]

yeah

[tulip ledge]

What is this?

[coarse spire]

can you show how you define the command?

[tulip ledge]

Like user = discord.Member = None?

[coarse spire]

yeah. For that, if you want a user parameter that is not required, just do: user:discord.Member=None

[coarse spire]

so, you need to import option from discord (from discord import option), and then for the command use discord.Option(........)

[tulip ledge]

I have this library imported to my project

When discord.Member is for selecting users, discord.Option is for custom input?

[coarse spire]

discord.Option is another way to add parameters with specific input to slash commands. For example: member:discord.Option(discord.Member)

[tulip ledge]

What about just a number?

[coarse spire]

number:discord.Option(int)

.rtfm discord.Option

[winter condor]

10 results

discord.Option
discord.Option.converter
discord.Option.to_dict
discord.OptionChoice
discord.OptionChoice.to_dict
discord.commands.option
discord.AutocompleteContext.options
discord.SelectMenu.options
discord.ui.Select.options
discord.ext.pages.PaginatorMenu.options

[coarse spire]

So, If you want a parameter to be optional, you can either use user:discord.Member=None or user:discord.Option(discord.Member, required=False)

[tulip ledge]

number: discord.Option(int, required = False)
Like this?

[coarse spire]

yeah

[clear vault]

And I can’t do: from discord.commands import Option and then use option?

[coarse spire]

from discord.commands import Option wouldn't work for this.

[tulip ledge]

How to make a message in a specific channel when someone joins or leaves the server, for logging purposes? I already know about on_user.join and on_user.leave events

[coarse spire]

Just get the channel and then send the message to it

[tulip ledge]

Can you show a code example?

[coarse spire]

channel = bot.get_channel(channel_id)
await channel.send(message)```

[tulip ledge]

Thanks

Can the bot send an emote from test server to main server? I just want these for "member joined" and "member left" messages

[fervent cradle]

currently using this package https://pypi.org/project/lyricsgenius/ to get the lyircs and info about creators but whenever i try searching for an artist i get greeted with:

discord.errors.ApplicationCommandInvokeError: Application Command raised an exception: HTTPError: [Errno 401] 401 Client Error: Unauthorized for url: https://api.genius.com/artists/569922?text_format=plain
The access token provided is expired, revoked, malformed or invalid for other reasons.``` `                artist = self.genius.search_artist(author, max_songs=3, sort="title", include_features=True)`, but when searching for a song `song = self.genius.search_song(song)`, this does not happen why? i know this probably isnt the right server nut i dont know where else to ask

[cyan quail]

if you try to open this endpoint in browser, you get ```json
{"meta":{"status":401,"message":"This call requires an access_token. Please see: https://genius.com/developers"}}

[fervent cradle]

yes and i have that

when i use the search song it doesnt say what i sent about a token

just retrieves the correct song

[cyan quail]

i mean you still got a 401 which does mean unauthorized...

[fervent cradle]

but why does search song work and search artist doesnt? it works basically the same way. im trying to figure out of its something on my end, genius or the pypi package itself

[cyan quail]

perhaps raise an issue on the github?

[fervent cradle]

have you got any other recommendations for similar packages?

[cyan quail]

well, i'm not much of a genius user myself so i wouldn't know

you could always just use the api directly with aiohttp/requests

[fervent cradle]

anyone knows where i can see all the d.py forks or whayever? theres a link someone sent a few days ago i can find it tho

Huh i use it in other bots and it works

[fervent cradle]

can i somehow edit a message with a paginator

[young bone]

I would say yes?

[young bone]

?

[soft girder]

wtf

how?!

[fervent cradle]

how? i mwant i have a message i wanna edit it so it has a paginator

how can I listen for a select menu interaction and a wait for message at the same time?

[cerulean stump]

what do you mean by "at the same time"

and what do you want to do

[fervent cradle]

My thought was that I am able to have a message with a select menu that I can use and while using it I am able to send a message the bot can process. (With the wait_for method)

[cerulean stump]

and does it have any connection to each other?

[fervent cradle]

Yep. I have a message where I list something. And the select menu filters the list so only specific entries are shown. And with the message you "select" one entry

[cerulean stump]

isnt it better to create slash command with autocomplete

[fervent cradle]

It could be, but I don't want to use many slash commands for my game

[fervent cradle]

how can i edit a message to add a paginator to it lol

[cerulean stump]

I don't know what exactly you want to achieve

but u can edit dropdown or message

msg = await ctx.respond(view=YourDropdown())

user_msg = await self.client.wait_for('message', check=lambda m: m.author == ctx.author)
await msg.edit_original_response(view=YourDropdown(filters=user_msg))

or vice versa

[young bone]

that is not gonna work

[river summit]

how do i get a list of all a member's permissions in a guild?

[cerulean stump]

what do you mean

[topaz ruin]

is there a way to detect when a bot stops for logging?

[fervent cradle]

I solved it. I had a wrong way to thing about the problem

[river summit]

why are my inline fields doing this? i want two fields on each line yet it does this.

embed.add_field(name="Creation Date", value=discord_join, inline=True)
embed.add_field(name="Server Join Date", value=server_join, inline=True)
embed.add_field(name=f"Roles", value=roles, inline=False)
embed.add_field(name="Nitro User", value=nitro_booster, inline=True)

[fervent cradle]

Not like this. There is a function that the bot can wait for the user to type text (await self.bot.wait_for("message"))

Where a user can type something in the chat and the bot can process it.

And I want that I'm able to use the select menu while waiting for that text input from the user

[fervent cradle]

if i send a message using ctx.respond can i edit thay message to contain a paginator and replace the content of it with the pages?

[swift smelt]

does anyone have some optimisation tricks? I have a bot that is on 79 servers and it consists of 1105 lines of code utilising pycord. I host it on my Raspberry Pi 4B 4gb alongside a few other projects. They work flawlessly while my Discord bot lags as hell and sometimes takes 20 seconds to realise its too late to respond to users command.

it is connected through ethernet with approx 140 ms ping to discord api

[cerulean stump]

???

youre still able to use select menu

[fervent cradle]

ok

[round rivet]

since roles isn't inline it can't be set inline with anything

[cerulean stump]

and bot wait for message event with defined check

[round rivet]

if you want 2 fields I'd add an empty one with ZWSPs

[river summit]

alright, thank you!

[cerulean stump]

btw

[round rivet]

couldn't you just use more selects

[proud mason]

A low api latency while while still having such high lag could indicate that you have code that blocks the event loop

Do you use requests library?

[proud mason]

pr is open. will be added soon

as of now, you can call await interaction.original_response() to get the message and pass that

[gentle flare]

yes I know basic Python.

[fervent cradle]

        await ctx.respond(embed=discord.Embed(title="a", colour=discord.Colour.embed_background()))
        m = await interaction.original_response()``` like that or what? that doesnt seem to work, should it be ctx.original_response()

[gentle flare]

    def GETLoadGuildConfig(self, guildid):
        with open(f'./data/{guildid}/config.json','r') as configFile:

atp wouldnt it be easier to use a db like postgres?

Ok I tried it again now and ist works. I think bec. I restartet my Pc.
Anyway thx

[fervent cradle]

i need to get one from ctx.respond()

[proud mason]

Is that an actual thing? If not, try ctx.interaction instead of interaction

[fervent cradle]

so ctx.interaction.original_response

ah gotcha yes

thank you

[proud mason]

Nice

[scenic raven]

I'm wondering how big of a iterable basic autocomplete can handle before performing badly?

So the bot I'm working on basically manages task lists, and I was thinking it would be a good feature to save users' inputs to put in autocomplete when adding a new task. Assuming a fast implementation of producing phrase lists to feed to autocomplete. . .

[young bone]

Why that question?

[scenic raven]

Because I'd want to limit the like dictionary it's pulling from so it doesn't get too slow to be useful (or not do this if like it's 30 or something)

[young bone]

I havent really test it

But its also more how fast the bot and the internet connection is

@scenic raven How do you host the bot?

[scenic raven]

On digital oceans smallest droplet (it only serves my house tho)

[silver moat]

anything less than 200 should definitely be fine

[thorny cipher]

can someone please elaborate on the differences between discord.utils.get() and discord.utils.find()?

from my understanding, discord.utils.find() can use filters and with discord.utils.get() you can use attributes

[scenic raven]

That's basically it.

[thorny cipher]

oh i thought there'd be more to it

thank you

[scenic raven]

(im assuming you know find can take an arbitrary filter function)

[thorny cipher]

yes, thank you

[warped jungle]

is there any way for the bot to fetch the connected accounts in the user's account?

[young bone]

What?

[warped jungle]

for example, if I want the bot to get the user's gamertag that is linked to his discord account, is it possible for the bot to do it?

sorry if I wasnt clear

[full basin]

The api doesn't give you access to users connections

[warped jungle]

Thanks

[silver moat]

Actually, there's oauth2, and https://discord.com/developers/docs/resources/user#get-user-connections

[novel jay]

https://guide.pycord.dev/voice/playing
wavelink V2 comes with discord.py and also changes a ton of stuff so it doesn't work now, so should probably be removed from the guide or specify a version

[main solstice]

Is there an example of how to get the audio stream from the voice_client? If I put the data = ctx.voice_client.socket.recv(4096) (after using discord.sinks.RawData(data, ctx.voiceclient) into the decoder.decode(data), only "none" comes out.

[tidal narwhal]

does anyone know what Import "discord" could not be resolved means

i did pip install py-cord in terminal and it worked previously

[silver moat]

What IDE/Text Editor are you using?

[tidal narwhal]

[silver moat]

restart it

if it still doesn't work, check the python version selected

[tidal narwhal]

my pycord version is py-cord 2.4.1 and the python version is 3.11

[silver moat]

Type pip --version and see if that matches the Python version selected

Background:
I am attempting to use decorators to reduce code redundancy. I have a slash command named blacklist that takes in an integer as an input, and a decorator named group_required.
Problem:
Pycord has my *args and **kwargs as options in the slash command instead of intended integer user through option
Question:
What would be the best way to have a decorator that takes in arguments from my function.
Code:

def group_required(func):
    async def wrapper(ctx,*args, **kwargs):
        group = await mongo.get_group(discord_id=ctx.author.id)
        if not group:
            embed = discord.Embed(
                title="Error", description="You are not in a group", color=0xFF0000
            )
            return await ctx.interaction.response.send_message(embed=embed)
        ctx.group = group  # Attach the group to the context
        return await func(ctx, *args, **kwargs)

    return wrapper

@bot.slash_command(name="blacklist", description="Blacklist a user from the bot")
@group_required
async def blacklist(ctx, user: Option(int, "The user to blacklist", required=True)):
    await mongo.add_blacklist(user_id=user, discord_id=ctx.interaction.user.id)
    embed = discord.Embed(
        title="Success",
        description=f"Blacklisted user {user} from the bot",
        color=0x00FF00,
    )
    await ctx.interaction.response.send_message(embed=embed)

[young bone]

Can you show the line of code?

[fervent cradle]

await ctx.respond(...)
m = await ctx.interaction.original_response()
await paginator.edit(m) # Line 92```

[tulip ledge]

Like, I still want to run a Python file, in this case, a bot, but without output console

[proud mason]

Ah yes that's broken. You will need to go the longer route

Add message = await m.channel.fetch_message(m.id) between the last 2 lines and pass message to paginator.edit

[fervent cradle]

i mean it works fine before

[fervent cradle]

this shouldnt rate limit my bot if more users do it at once right, since im fetching the message wouldnt partial message be fine too?

[young bone]

I wonder if a bot can edit user messages @proud mason

[proud mason]

are you sure about that?

[proud mason]

well current code doesnt allow PartialMessage

ill add that in my pr

[proud mason]

a bot can actually edit a user's message lol

the only thing it can edit is the supress kwarg

[fervent cradle]

yeah, yesterday it literally worked, unsure why it dont work now, but thats fine! Thank you!

[fervent cradle]

maybe you could actually add discord.Interactions.interaction as well haha

[proud mason]

yes lol ive already done that

[fervent cradle]

nice, just ping me or give me a dm once its finished so i can update my code if u dont forget if not then no worries

[proud mason]

you can keep an eye out for https://github.com/Pycord-Development/pycord/pull/2105

there are some issues which would need to be fixed first

[fervent cradle]

could anyone help me point in the right direction of making automoderation? Any guide that will help me get started? I can't find anything on pycord docs or guide its probably just me being blind but still, any helps appreciated, thanks!

[cyan quail]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api/models.html#discord.Guild.create_auto_moderation_rule only on master branch right now that's a lie

[fervent cradle]

im using it anyways

[fervent cradle]

can i get an example of how id use it also?

[cyan quail]

i mean

[cyan quail]

await create_auto_moderation_rule(name="Example", event_type=AutoModEventType.message_send, trigger_type=AutoModTriggerType.keyword, trigger_metadata=AutoModTriggerMetadata(...), actions=[AutoModAction(...)], enabled=True, exempt_roles=[...], exempt_channels=[...], reason=None)
```writing a full example is way too long, just look through the docs and what each model has

[fervent cradle]

okay, and where exactly do i put it? like in a command? i dont need any events it just works?

[cyan quail]

i mean

just use it how you'd use any other function...?

this is only to create a rule

(which you can already do from guild settings)

[fervent cradle]

okay so i just do a command, and then it works no other shenanigans

[cyan quail]

pretty much

[fervent cradle]

on a modal callback. I can get the value of a field with self.children[0].value. my Childens have custom Ids, is there another way to get the value of the field with the custom_id?

like this:

(self.children.get_field('team_name').value

[proud mason]

you could iterate over the children and check custom id

or maybe use discord.utils.get

.rtfm utils.get

[winter condor]

2 results

discord.utils.get
discord.utils.get_or_fetch

[fervent cradle]

ok

[fervent cradle]

and in an option, can you have it display different options depending on what the user picked in the previous one

[cyan quail]

That's possible with autocomplete, but not regular options

[fervent cradle]

sure, autocompletes fine, how could i get that done? I want to display metadata for whatever the trigger type a user picked in the option before

[cyan quail]

It's probably ctx.options

Just check docs for AutocompleteContext

[fervent cradle]

last question is there currently a way to create sub sub commands

[silver moat]

By that if you mean 3 layers deep, yes.

so a command like /animal vertebrae cow

[fervent cradle]

yes

[fervent cradle]

exactly that

[cyan quail]

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

you just do the same as you would to make a regular subcommand

[thorny stag]

what

this worked before I updated pycord

[somber pelican]

show pip list

[thorny stag]

what do I need to have installed?

[somber pelican]

show it

run the command and show the output

[thorny stag]

wait frick I might discord.py installed

[somber pelican]

it's likely you have conflicting discord packages

yeah there you go

[proud mason]

you should also uninstall and reinstall pycord after you uninstall dpy

[thorny stag]

got it

lmao that was it. im so silly :/

[gentle flare]

Hey how can I enter multiple roles in my options? When I try it with this I can only enter one role: ```py
async def announcement(self, ctx: discord.ApplicationContext, announcementchannel: discord.Option(
discord.TextChannel,
description="Announcement Channel",
required=False),

        roles: discord.Option(
        discord.Role,
        description="Permissions",
        required=False
    )):

But I want to enter a undefined number of roles.

[silver moat]

use a role select menu

[round sorrel]

l o g i c

[gentle flare]

but I want it to be an option

[silver moat]

either add multiple roles as optional ones or parse it as a string

[gentle flare]

ah ok

[fervent cradle]

i was reading up on embedded activity, and it said discord will not verify bots who use it, is this still up to date? as the message doesnt seem to exist

[silver moat]

the message does exist, you just need to be in the discord developers server

[fervent cradle]

ah right

so it still wont be verified alright, thanks

[zealous bear]

how would i do an alias for a simple prefix command

[full basin]

pass aliases=["myalias"] to the decorator

[zealous bear]

thanks!!

[worldly schooner]

If you defer a context you cant ephemeral it anymore?

[young bone]

Context?

[worldly schooner]

application context

aka ctx.defer()

if you do ctx.defer once you cant send an ephemeral response anymore?

[young bone]

You also have to add ephemeral to the defer

[worldly schooner]

I see, thanks!

[worldly schooner]

Im getting no errors, but just wondering, am I doing it right?

It works but I wanna know if Im doing the best practice

[cyan quail]

if this works fine then fair enough, but you can also set a global Bot.before_invoke or Cog.cog_before_invoke to apply to the entire bot/cog automatically

[worldly schooner]

Understood, the before invoke ive set before was only to make an especific validation for those especific commands

[versed fern]

I'm trying to add all members with a certain role to a thread (Can't just ping the role, since this doesn't work for roles with more than 100 members). Therfore, I need to get a list of members to add. I'm using this code:

member_mentions = [member.mention for member in thread.guild.members if ping_role in member.roles]

For whatever reason, thread.guild.membersonly returns me and the bot, not the other members (my test account and some bots) of my test server. Any ideas why?

[cyan quail]

did you fetch the guild?

[fervent cradle]

oh another question. I have a modal. when the modal gets submitted, the bot sends a message with a select menu. when I select something in the selct menu the bot should edit the message of the first select menu (different class) with the message for the second select menu. How can I do it?

the messages are ephemeral

[cyan quail]

pass the interaction from the message you want to edit through to your new class, then use interaction.edit_original_response

[fervent cradle]

ok and how can I pass the interaction?

[cyan quail]

well

if you're subclassing, just add a new argument

[fervent cradle]

yeah like this: await interaction.response.send_message(embed=embed, view=SelectCountry(team_data, interaction), ephemeral=True)?

[cyan quail]

hopefully

[fervent cradle]

I have it like this:

        await interaction.response.send_message(embed=embed, view=SelectCountry(team_data, interaction), ephemeral=True)

class SelectCountry(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self, team_data, interaction):
        super().__init__(timeout=None)
        self.team_data = team_data
        self.interaction = interaction

    #@staticmethod
    #def select_country(self):
    selection_menu_country_list = []

    with open('countries.json', 'r', encoding="utf-8") as f:
        data = json.load(f)["countries"]

    for i in data:
        selection_menu_country_list.append(discord.SelectOption(
            label=str(i).title(),
            value=str(data[i])
        ))

    #return selection_menu_country_list

    @discord.ui.select(custom_id='select_co-trainer-nationality', placeholder="🚩 | Co. Nationalität auswählen", options=selection_menu_country_list)
    async def select_callback(self, select, interaction):
        embed = discord.Embed(
            title="Co. Trainer Namen auswählen",
            description="Bitte wähle unten einen der 10 Namen aus!"
        )
        self.team_data["co_trainer_na"] = select.values[0]

        await interaction.edit_original_response(embed=embed, view=SelectTrainerName(self.team_data))

and I get a unkown webhook error

[cyan quail]

well 1) it'd be self.interaction.edit_original_response, but 2) i may have misunderstood your original question, does interaction.response.edit_message work?

[fervent cradle]

yes

spotted the error in my code

I had interaction.message.edit()

[gentle flare]

Im currently trying to add my own help command. I followed the docs but I cant call the function in discord.

[young bone]

Did you set the help command to None?

[gentle flare]

no I followed the docs an set the help command class to the template class from the docs

https://guide.pycord.dev/extensions/commands/help-command

I dont have any errors in the console it just doesent show up in discord

[vague folio]

Hi, newbie here. I have a new API bot, that I granted permissions doing all the jazz of creating a url then linking to my server. After that I ran my script in my local machine where I define some commands with "@bot.command", Just to test I have this in my script:
@bot.command(description="This command is a Test")
async def little_test(ctx, prompt: discord.Option(str)):
print(f'Little_test called with prompt: {prompt}')

[gentle flare]

I think you need to add self to the arguments. try ```py
@bot.command(description="This command is a Test")
async def little_test(self, ctx, prompt: discord.Option(str)):
print(f'Little_test called with prompt: {prompt}')

[vague folio]

ok, and then to call the command itself with a bot (that I'm triggering externally with an API, I just send the message "/little_test 'something as prompt' " and it should trigger the command, correct?

[gentle flare]

yes I think so

Im also a newbie

[vague folio]

and should I redo the whole permission process everytime I change something in my code? It's not working so far

[gentle flare]

what do you mean with permission process?

[vague folio]

Oauth2, URL generator, picking the scopes application.commands and bot, then the bot the permissions

[versed fern]

Can’t find guild.fetch nor thread.fetch_guild. Do you mean thread.guild.fetch_members?

[versed fern]

Somehow failed to reply

[versed fern]

just set them up once and you're good to go

[gentle flare]

I still have the problem with my help command

[fervent cradle]

do i need to put @commands.guild_only() in front of all commands or are they usable only in servers by default

[fervent cradle]

I have a paginator. How can I edit a message so it displays the paginator?

Is that right?

        await interaction.response.edit_message(paginator=paginator)

don't understand

this is my code:

        paginator = Paginator(pages=self.create_pages(), custom_view=PickTeamLogo(self.team_data))

        await paginator.edit(interaction.message)

        await paginator.respond(interaction, ephemeral=True)

I don't know what I need to change

do u already have a message? U said edit

yea it is in a interaction. I have a button and after the button is pressed the paginator should show up

and what error do you get?

but it shouldn't create a new message It should edit the message with the button to the paginator

[fervent cradle]

no error

in the code it sends the paginator

but as a new message

oh, well then u need to send ur message first, and edit it as a paginator?

No I have a message. When I click the button on that message the message should be edited to the paginator

yeah, so why do u send another paginator? u need to take that message u have sent, and then in the button callback edit it so it adds paginator to it

here:

    @discord.ui.button(label='Nein', emoji='❌', custom_id='cancel_change_name', style=discord.ButtonStyle.blurple)
    async def cancle_callback(self, button, interaction):
        with open('logos/logos.json', 'r') as f:
            logos = json.load(f)
            
        logo = logos["1"]
            
        embed = discord.Embed(title='Such dir ein Logo aus',
                              description='Drücke auf den Knöpfen unten, um zwischen Logos zu tauschen. Drücke dann auf den Knopf `Übernehmen`, wenn du das Logo behalten willst')

        embed.set_image(url=logo)

        paginator = Paginator(pages=self.create_pages(), custom_view=PickTeamLogo(self.team_data))

        await paginator.edit(interaction.message)

        await paginator.respond(interaction, ephemeral=True)
``` the full calback function

[fervent cradle]

yeah thats my question how I can do it

i told u "u need to take that message u have sent, and then in the button callback edit it so it adds paginator to it" u need to get the original message where the button is and edit it with paginator.edit

[fervent cradle]

YEA but how do I do it?

normaly i would do it with await interaction.response.edit_message(embed=embed)

but I thing that don't work right?

[fervent cradle]

like this?
await interaction.response.edit_message(paginator.edit())

no, just paginator.edit(message) and the message needs to be a discord.Message so u need to fetch the message

ok

[fervent cradle]

How do I fetch the message?

I thought like this, but that don't work xD

message = await interaction.fetch_message()

.rtfm TextChannel.fetch_message

[winter condor]

1 results

discord.TextChannel.fetch_message

[fervent cradle]

This is the code:

message = await interaction.channel.fetch_message(id=interaction.message.id)

but I get this error:
discord.errors.NotFound: 404 Not Found (error code: 10008): Unknown Message

the message is ephmemeral

[fervent cradle]

id is not a positional argument, and the channel is the actual channel object

[fervent cradle]

ok I just removed the id= and get still the same error

mb, edited the message

[fervent cradle]

yes it is a setup process and I edited the message like three times before

but how would it then work?

[somber pelican]

how do i pass arguments to a loop?

[versed fern]

How do I access the Bot/Client inside of an event?

[young bone]

In a cog?

[versed fern]

yep

[young bone]

self.client

[versed fern]

thx

[fervent cradle]

okay so if u have the message object just pass it in paginator.edit

[fervent cradle]

Yea I know you said it like 4 times. But if you read my message before you can See that I'm unable to get the message

My Problem is that I don't know how to get the message when its got edited

When I print the message ID in the console It prints a message ID, but when I try to fetch it it says that it is unable to find a message

[zealous bear]

is it possible in pycord to set different slowmodes for a channel for different roles?

[silver moat]

nope, discord limitation

[zealous bear]

ah poo

that sucks so much 😭

[versed fern]

Now fetching the guild, but there no longer are any members found at all

    guild: discord.Guild = await bot.fetch_guild(thread.guild.id)
    member_mentions = [member.mention for member in guild.members if ping_role in member.roles]

[young bone]

What are the intents?

[fervent cradle]

okay, well, u could wait until om's pr is done then u can pass in an interaction

[fervent cradle]

OK so then I could do paginator.edit(interaction)
?

[proud mason]

After that pr is complete, yes

[fervent cradle]

OK nice, do you know how long it will take? Roughly?

[proud mason]

I can't really give the perfect estimate, but about a week or 2

[fervent cradle]

Ok thanks

[proud mason]

Another pr would be needed to be created and merged first tho

[fervent cradle]

Hmm

[versed fern]

intents=discord.Intents(
  guilds=True,
  members=True
),

[young bone]

also added to the bot?

[versed fern]

inside super().__init__() yes

[worldly schooner]

Is there a way to change activities putting the countdown time with epoch in it?

like this

I tried with listening type but it did not work

Im testing with playing rn

nope, did not work

is there a actual way to put relative times in bot activities?

I wanted to put it with the R parameter, so it should transform it in relative

[silver moat]

yes, there is a start_time and an end_time

I'm not sure if bots can use them tho

[pseudo vine]

Hmm, I wonder if it is possible after I closed the modal window to open a new one without sending a message?

[worldly schooner]

Not showing timestamps at all

anyone know why?

Edit: Realized that bots only support simple status, and dont rich presences

[spring hare]

No. You can only send modal on interaction response, but not after another modal

[pseudo vine]

How do I then send a modal window after I received a message

[spring hare]

wdym?

[long ginkgo]

hey i need some help

[versed fern]

i noticed ctx.author has been changed to match with the new pomelo users, is there a way for that to happen with audit logs yet? with discord.AuditLogEntry maybe like .author or .user so it gives the pomelo (nick)

or for a discord.User or discord.Member anyway

[quaint coral]

What's a simple way for me to check, every time a slash command is evoked, if the user evoking it has either administrator permissions or if they have one role among a list of "admin" roles (which will change over time) and, in case they do not have any of these roles, the command only presents them a message stating they do not have the necessary permissions to evoke that command?

I kind of did it with a custom decorator, but I am raising an error and I don't want to log this specific error into the console, as it would clutter it too much.

This is how I implemented it:

class AdminCheckFailure(commands.CheckFailure):
    """Raised when the is_admin check fails"""
    pass

@bot.event
async def on_command_error(ctx, error):
    if isinstance(error, AdminCheckFailure):
        pass  # Suppress the custom exception
    else:
        # If we're not handling the error, call the default error handler
        await bot.on_error("on_command_error", ctx, error)

# Custom check decorator that checks whether the author of the command has administrator permissions 
# or if the author has a role that is listed in the admin_roles table. If neither condition is met, the check fails, and the command doesn't run.
def is_admin():
    async def predicate(ctx):
        if ctx.author.guild_permissions.administrator:
            return True
        else:
            async with aiosqlite.connect('spellguardian.db') as db:
                cursor = await db.execute('SELECT role_id FROM admin_roles WHERE guild_id = ?', (ctx.guild.id,))
                admin_roles_ids = [row[0] for row in await cursor.fetchall()]
                if any(role.id in admin_roles_ids for role in ctx.author.roles):
                    return True
        await ctx.respond("You do not have the necessary permissions to run this command.", ephemeral=True)
        raise AdminCheckFailure("Admin permissions required")
    return commands.check(predicate)

[fervent cradle]

.rtfm default_permissions

[winter condor]

discord.commands.default_permissions

[fervent cradle]

this will only show the commands for users who have the permission

[spring hare]

has_permissions(administrator=True)

[fervent cradle]

or that

whats the difference anyways?

[spring hare]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[fervent cradle]

well has permissions is better in any way?

[quaint coral]

Hmm, but the check I need is not supposed to be tied to permissions themselves (as in role/channel permissions) other than Administrator, I want them tied to either having the Administrator permission or having a role that has been added to the list of "admin roles". This is more so I can let Moderators/Helpers use specific commands that do not depend on role permissions

I was using the has_permissions decorator and it works perfectly when you need to prevent commands being run based on role permissions

[spring hare]

So, you want custom check command?

[quaint coral]

In a way, yes. I need a custom decorator that either checks for Administrator permission OR if the user evoking it has one of the roles from the "admin_roles" table, as per my code above. The one I implemented does work, but I am throwing the error into the console. The bot is ignoring it the exception, I just did not want to log this specific exception on the console

[spring hare]

def check_permissions():
    async def check_perms(ctx: Context) -> bool:
        #magic

        if not access:
          return False
        # or
        if not access:
            raise MissingPermissions(["Use bot"]) # Or any other Exception, even your own

        # if you want to give access
        return True
    return check(perms_lister)

[quaint coral]

Hmm, I believe that is basically what I am doing on the snippet I presented, but I am raising a custom Exception I implemented to try and prevent the entire traceback to be shown on the console. Is there any way to suppress it?

[spring hare]

@bot.event
async def on_command_error(ctx, error):```?

[quaint coral]

I tried that and I'm not being able to suppress it from showing on the console :/

@bot.event
async def on_command_error(ctx, error):
    if isinstance(error, AdminCheckFailure):
        pass  # Suppress the custom exception

[grizzled sentinel]

Are you using slash commands? If so on_application_command_error needs to be used

[quaint coral]

Ooohh

That's it then! Yes, I'm using exclusively slash commands

[quaint coral]

That worked, thank you so much!

Also, thank you, @spring hare and @fervent cradle ^.^

anyone

[cyan quail]

This is not on 2.4.1; currently, User.global_name is only available on master branch

on master, User.display_name will prioritise guild nickname > global name > username

[fervent cradle]

okay so if i wanna recreate it i need to do Member.username (Member.global_name)

[cyan quail]

that's just str(member), but again only on master

though that won't work if they have a nickname set either, so yeah your method is probably better that is a lie, it still works even with nickname

One quick question. How can I access the message of a button that was clicked? So I click a button and in the callback fuction I want to get the message object of the message with the button

[silver moat]

interaction.message

[red musk]

so I can do thinks like this message = interaction.message

and then I could edit the message or add a component or a paginator to this message?

[silver moat]

yeah

[red musk]

OK thanks

[copper pine]

How can I make the "style" optional?

[full basin]

Pass a default value

[copper pine]

ok, works well but when its executed with prefix command return this error: missing 1 required keyword-only argument: 'style'

Style its optional, but when its executed with prefix style, its required, why?

[full basin]

Pass style = None

[grizzled sentinel]

I recommend using option in the definition of the function instead of decorator I think it makes it cleaner, You choice though.

async def create(
        self, ctx, name: discord.Option(str, description="The Name For This Survey", max_length=64, required=True)
    ):

[halcyon gorge]

Having a bit of trouble with opus atm. I installed PyNaCl and it's telling me to that opus was not loaded, I tried adding discord.opus.load_opus() into the cog however, I know that I need to pass the name parameter into the function but I have no idea what I am supposed to pass in

[rare ice]

Do button custom_ids have a character limit?

[cyan quail]

all custom_ids are max 100 chars

[fervent cradle]

i was just wondering if using pypi packages lets say googletrans since it isnt asynchronous does it block other commands from being used or something or am i getting this wrong

[elfin dagger]

The official library google makes for google translate has async support although I’m not sure if googletrans uses it

But yes since it’s not async it will be blocking

[red musk]

that don't work.

This is my code.

        message = interaction.message

        pg= Paginator(pages=self.add_page(), custom_view=SelectMember(self.member_list))

        await pg.edit(message)

I get no error and discord says that the interaction wasn't successful

[proud mason]

That won't work rn. A PR is under works to add that feature

[red musk]

ok

[fervent cradle]

how can I get the current page number of a paginator?

or just the current page?

oh and the paginator has a custom view

So what I'm trying to do is that, if the button of the custom view (subclassed) is clicked I want to get the current paginator page

[full basin]

.rtfm paginator.current_page

[winter condor]

Target not found, try again and make sure to check your spelling.

[full basin]

The paginator has a current_page or something like that attr

.rtfm Paginator

why it isn't in @winter condor ?

[fervent cradle]

and if it's blocking what does that mean for me? Users cant do the same command at the same time?

[grizzled sentinel]

Am I doing something wrong with the inline?

em = discord.Embed(
            title="Survey Creation Wizard",
            description="""...""",
            fields=[
                discord.EmbedField(name="Survey Name", value=name),
                discord.EmbedField(name="Questions", value="No Questions"),
                discord.EmbedField(name="Required", value="", inline=True),
                discord.EmbedField(
                    name="User Settings", value="..."
                ),
                discord.EmbedField(
                    name="Survey Settings",
                    value="...",
                ),
            ],
        )

I want the 3rd field to be next to the second field.

[full basin]

inline should be false iirc?

inline=True means the field will take all line afaik

[grizzled sentinel]

The default is False tho

[full basin]

yeah

[grizzled sentinel]

So either way there should be some on the same line as the rest would be false

[full basin]

youre telling it to use the whole line

[grizzled sentinel]

But then why are Survey Name and Questions not on the same line if they are both false?

[full basin]

oh i get what u mean

thats weird

lemme check my code lmao

[grizzled sentinel]

Ok, I have to go now. I will look into the lib code later to see if someone broke it. I just wanted a sanity check.

[full basin]

what version btw

2.4.1?

ok youre right

inline=False makes it use the whole line

pass inline=True to your questions field too

[grizzled sentinel]

Ah, I think your right. I remember its weird like that.
I'm 80% sure that will work. Thanks!

[elfin dagger]

If something in your bot is blocking it won’t be able to do anything else until the task is complete

Let’s say your translate command is blocking and someone uses it, no other users will be able to run any command until the translate command has finished

Funny coincidence I actually just finished implementing a translate feature on my bot that uses google translate and I ran into the blocking problem

[fervent cradle]

what package have you used instead?

[elfin dagger]

I used google’s official package

pip install google-cloud-translate

[fervent cradle]

thanks

[elfin dagger]

https://cloud.google.com/translate/docs/setup

Docs

[fervent cradle]

thank you

oh boy this is gonna be a pain re doing it

is there any way i can test for if any other of my commands are blocking?

[elfin dagger]

Run the command you’re checking and then run any other command

[young bone]

Do you use something like requests?

[fervent cradle]

no

[elfin dagger]

The example google gives for python uses TranslationServiceClient which is blocking

[young bone]

any normal def func?

[fervent cradle]

yeah

[elfin dagger]

Just change it to TranslationServiceAsyncClient and it’ll become async

[fervent cradle]

ah okay, thanks

[elfin dagger]

Don’t forget to async def and await afterwards

[fervent cradle]

def random_string(n):
    chars = ascii_letters+"1234567890"
    charset = [i for i in chars]
    token = ""

    for i in range(0, n):
        token += random.choice(charset)
        
    return token``` say this one

or my custom check for developer commands

[young bone]

add async to it

[fervent cradle]

so i should always add async to all functions even if they dont use anything async?

[round sorrel]

Quick question: How to add user option

[fervent cradle]

cus this one doesnt use any other library other than pythons built in ones

[elfin dagger]

You should still add it because it seems anyone can input an arbitrarily large number for n

[fervent cradle]

well i only use those internally they havent got user input

[elfin dagger]

You should still add it

Doesn’t cost much to do it and will make your bot slightly faster especially if the function is being called many times

[fervent cradle]

okay

[elfin dagger]

Don’t forget to add await wherever you call the function

[fervent cradle]

pretty sure this one cant have it

def isDeveloper():
    async def check(ctx):
        return True if await ctx.bot.getPermissions(ctx.author.id) == "developer" else False
    
    return commands.check(check)```

if its a check

[elfin dagger]

Can you not just remove def isDeveloper

[fervent cradle]

no cus its a decorator?

like i do @isDeveloper before a command

[elfin dagger]

Oh ok

I’m less sure about that maybe someone with more experience

But I would assume it can also be async

[fervent cradle]

ive tried, but i dont think u can await decorators

besides, the check is async already which is the part that does all the work

[elfin dagger]

If it’s a decorator it doesn’t need async https://stackoverflow.com/questions/42043226/using-a-coroutine-as-decorator

Oops

Google 👍

[fervent cradle]

pretty sure __init__ cant be async either, so unfortunately i cant do all of them async

[elfin dagger]

Init cannot be async yes

[fervent cradle]

class MatrixBot(commands.Bot):
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs): # I dont think this can be async
        self.config = Config()
        maintenance = self.checkMaintenance() # Hence i cant use await here```

[young bone]

I mean normal def func.

[fervent cradle]

yeah i know

[young bone]

?tag ri

[obtuse junco]

No tag ri found.

You can run blocking code (such as PIL/Pillow) in an executor to run it in a separate thread: ```py
def my_blocking_func(*args):
...

@bot.command()
async def test_command(ctx):
ret = await bot.loop.run_in_executor(my_blocking_func, 'put', 'args', 'here')``` see the documentation (https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-eventloop.html?highlight=run_in_executor#asyncio.loop.run_in_executor) for more info

[fervent cradle]

so to run this

googletrans.GoogleTranslator(source="auto", target=language)```

id do 
```py
await self.bot.loop.run_in_executor(googletrans.GoogleTranslator, )``` and how do i add those args there?

just py await self.bot.loop.run_in_executor(googletrans.GoogleTranslator, source="auto", target=language ?

[young bone]

Is it in a func?

[fervent cradle]

its a lib i installed i was just wondering if thats even possible now

t = googletrans.GoogleTranslator(source="auto", target=language)
t.translate(text=str(text))``` thats how the full code would look

[young bone]

I know that there was a glitch at the google tanslater library

[elfin dagger]

await self.bot.loop.run_in_executor(googletrans.GoogleTranslator, source, language)

the arguments work the same way as calling a function normally

[fervent cradle]

ohhh, so you dont need to specify them? or if i wanted a source how would i specify the source? im not following here a little

[elfin dagger]

you don't need to specify which argument is which value

it's just like

googletrans.GoogleTranslator(source, language)

[elfin dagger]

if you wanted source to be something else you'd just do

await self.bot.loop.run_in_executor(googletrans.GoogleTranslator, "different_source", language)

you don't have to specify which argument it just uses the order in which you defined them

oh yeah i almost forgot, arguments with default values should be after any and all arguments that don't have a default value

[fervent cradle]

ahh so if i want the source to be auto i just add "auto"

[elfin dagger]

in place of "different_source" yes

your source has a default value though so it should be moved after language

and then in this case you can simply just not pass an argument for source and it will default to "auto"

[fervent cradle]

oh so i just do source, language

[elfin dagger]

if you don't want a default source correct

[fervent cradle]

so i can do something like so

await self.bot.loop.run_in_executor(GoogleTranslator, source, language).translate(text=str(text))```, is that correct?

[elfin dagger]

it looks so

the function here would be called GoogleTranslator with the arguments source and language so if that's what you have it would probably work assuming .translate works as intended

[fervent cradle]

discord.errors.ApplicationCommandInvokeError: Application Command raised an exception: NameError: name 'source' is not defined``` right so it has to be "auto"

[elfin dagger]

i'm pretty terrible at this library actually so unfortunately i can't help here, someone more experienced will be able to help

[hallow peak]

Alright 👍

[elfin dagger]

sorry 😔

[hallow peak]

💀 I'm sorry that was completely unintended

[fervent cradle]

um, well, now py from utils.utils import random_error_msg print(random_error_msg())

just returns
<coroutine object random_error_msg at 0x0000019E1663EF60> so what do i do

async def random_error_msg():
    error_names = [
    ]

    return random.choice(error_names)```

list of course has names

[elfin dagger]

try converting it to a string first

[fervent cradle]

ah so return str(random...)

[full basin]

You printed the coroutine

You have to await it if you want the result

[fervent cradle]

oh right

nope, still

is the error still the same?

yes

updated code if needed:

await self.bot.loop.run_in_executor(GoogleTranslator, None, "auto", language).translate(text=str(text))```

[elfin dagger]

oh it should be None comes before GoogleTranslator

[fervent cradle]

oh, my apologies

[elfin dagger]

yeah np

[proud mason]

You could use asyncio.to_thread which makes that a bit easier

[fervent cradle]

how about an example?

[young bone]

google it ;3

[fervent cradle]

i mean since this works i dont need to really do much anymore to change it

right and i have issues again lmao
so i have my own error handler
its basically just a bunch of if isinstance checks

Hello

do you know a way to send a message on pycord with a flask route

[fervent cradle]

with add_field, I put 4 tables in a row, and I would like the 4 to be aligned?

[silver moat]

they can't be aligned horizontally aligned since each embed "row" can only have 3 fields, but they can be vertically aligned

if you want a 2x2 grid you can add a field with zero-width spaces between week and month

as in slash commands or what?

[round sorrel]

in slashs

[fervent cradle]

(ctx, name: str)

[silver moat]

just type hint discord.User

[round sorrel]

But I cant add description then or?

• I wanna make it required

[silver moat]

are you using @option or arg: discord.Option

[round sorrel]

discord.Option

[fervent cradle]

@silver moat for slash commands i juste need commands in discord.ext

[silver moat]

yeah then just discord.Option(discord.User, other stuff go here)

[silver moat]

what?

[round sorrel]

ok tysm

Also can I ask how to DM members via bot?

[silver moat]

await user.send()

[round sorrel]

so when the option user is named " user " its user.send(f"{message}")?

[fervent cradle]

it asks to add a description to the order, doesn't it?

[silver moat]

yes

[round sorrel]

okay awesome

tysm

[silver moat]

I'm sorry, I don't know what you are asking for

[fervent cradle]

no i helped you because i thought it just asked for a description of slash command

[silver moat]

what about this?

[fervent cradle]

for add a description of slash command i juste need commands in discord.ext

[young bone]

Did you took a look at the examples?

[fervent cradle]

no I just asked for a chatgpt what I needed to import to have a slash command, then I didn't need an additional module to make my command

Alright, so I want to set up my bot to run on a VPS. I ordered one on Contabo and set up the Ubuntu machine, installed VSCode, installed the Python package for VSCode, created a virtual environment and used the requirements.txt I created on my Windows machine, which was running the bot without any issues.

When I try to run the code, I am getting an ImportError:

yeah, uninstall discord, discord.py, discord-py-interactions, discord-py-slash-command, discord-typings, and disnake

and probably also show requirements.txt

oh yeah and reinstall py-cord

[zealous bear]

Also uninstalled and installed py-cord again. Now the bot's running. Funny thing is, I did not remember I had all of those old and/or deprecated libraries... And even funnier is that it was running just fine on Windows lmao

I suck at this, sorry, @silver moat. Thank you for the assistance ^.^

[zealous bear]

i would like to know how i can make my bot auto post something every ___ hours or minutes in a certain channel

silly squid fr the best person here (in my personal experience)

[silver moat]

yeah remove the same things from requirements.txt as well

[young bone]

also remove this pycord==0.1.1

[silver moat]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/ext/tasks/index.html

[quaint coral]

Yup, I definitely need to clean up my dependencies on Windows 😳. I didn't even use virtual environments when I first started this

[quaint coral]

And thank you for reminding me of that! 😄

[young bone]

oof

[zealous bear]

is it really as simple as this?

@tasks.loop(minutes=720)
async def post_trade():
    # Retrieve trade information from the database
    async with aiosqlite.connect('trade_database.db') as conn:
        cursor = await conn.cursor()
        await cursor.execute('SELECT have, want, tradelink, channel_id FROM trades')
        trades = await cursor.fetchall()

    # Post the trade information in the specified channel
    for trade in trades:
        have, want, tradelink, channel_id = trade
        channel = bot.get_channel(channel_id)
        if channel:
            embed = discord.Embed(title="Trade Advertisement", color=0x86def2)
            embed.add_field(name="[Have]", value=have, inline=False)
            embed.add_field(name="[Want]", value=want, inline=False)
            embed.add_field(name="[Trade Link]", value=tradelink, inline=False)
            await channel.send(embed=embed)

[silver moat]

you might want to use hours instead of minutes, but looks fine to me

[zealous bear]

awesome

i am having this other issue though, where i'm getting this error

     ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
AttributeError: 'Bot' object has no attribute 'slash_command'. Did you mean: 'add_command'?``

does that mean that something is clashing with pycord?

[silver moat]

just re-install py-cord

and probably restart IDE/terminal

[young bone]

and maybe show the pip list ;3

[silver moat]

re-install = uninstall + install

[zealous bear]

alright

[fervent cradle]

@silver moat can you help me please ?

[silver moat]

with?

here

[zealous bear]

@silver moat so i am trying to create a command where someone can input some data and it starts autoposting it. do i need to like initialze that tasks loop in the command for it to work?

or anyone else

[spring hare]

why you ping admin? 💀

[spring hare]

I don't really understand what you mean

[zealous bear]

we were talking prior

[spring hare]

Oh, ok

[spring hare]

I think you can create a task, where it loops through the list and post stuff

[zealous bear]

yeah i want to initialize it with a command

is that possible

something like /post for example

[spring hare]

Depends on your implementation

I don't really much know what you want

You can just add stuff to list, and on next loop it will see new stuff

[zealous bear]

am I able to DM you?

[spring hare]

Uhm... Yes, you can, but please, keep your question in this channel

[zealous bear]

I wanted to send you the full code privately

we can continue to discuss here if you want

[silver moat]

since when did i get promoted

[zealous bear]

😂

[zealous bear]

.

[silver moat]

.

[zealous bear]

what do i need to explain

ill do my best to write it all here

[proud mason]

I think you can call the my_loop.start() method inside the cmd. That might work

[zealous bear]

ah not defined

[proud mason]

Well where is the loop function? Is this in a cog or smth?

[zealous bear]

i want to create a slash command where you can enter three values + the ID of a channel and then they get organized into this post that i want to be posted in that channel with the id the user provided on a timed basis

[zealous bear]

no its all right next to eachother

[proud mason]

Hmm then how is it not defined?

You can pass parameters to the start method btw

.rtfm loop.start

[winter condor]

1 results

discord.ext.tasks.Loop.start

[proud mason]

Oh hmm wait. You might need to create the loop function inside the command

Since 1 task loop can only be started once

[zealous bear]

not sure

this should make it much easier

@bot.slash_command(guild_ids=server, name='createautopost', description='Create an automatic trade advertisement!')

                             (have, want, tradelink, channel_id))
        await conn.commit()

    await ctx.respond("Trade information stored and scheduled for autoposting!", ephemeral=True)
