[prisma flicker]

you can manage permissions in the integrations page though under server settings

[fervent cradle]

ohh thats what you mean

alr

[prisma flicker]

async def interaction_check(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):
    mods_role = discord.utils.get(interaction.guild.roles, name="Mods")
    is_mod = mods_role in interaction.user.roles
    if not is_mod:
        await interaction.response.send_message(f"Only mods can do thi!", ephemeral=True)
        return False
    else:
        return True

[fervent cradle]

Would have to include that in myview class or appart from it

Sorry, Im a bit dumb on buttons

[prisma flicker]

it's part of the view class

[fervent cradle]

ok great

then I should do this

But in the interaction_check

and return True or false

[prisma flicker]

yes

[fervent cradle]

but I would need to add the button to the interaction_check args right?

async def interaction_check(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, button):

or how

[prisma flicker]

no

the interaction check is for all buttons in the view

you can get the button's custom_id with interaction.data['custom_id']

[fervent cradle]

Do I have to define that custom_id

[prisma flicker]

if you want to use it, yes

you just add it to @button()

[fervent cradle]

Im a bit lost tbh

[prisma flicker]

send your view class

[fervent cradle]

1s

well its a bit long lmao

will just send the important part

because there is a whole txid checking logic

[prisma flicker]

sure, you can leave out the method bodies

[fervent cradle]

class MyView(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self, bot_instance, crypto, price, addy, user_id, author_id):
        super().__init__()
        self.ncrypto = NCrypto()
        self.bot = bot_instance
        self.crypto = crypto
        self.txid = ''
        self.price = price
        self.addy = addy
        self.userid = user_id
        self.author_id = author_id

    async def interaction_check(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):
        if self.userid != interaction.user.id:
            button.disabled = True
            button.label = f'You are not <@{self.userid}>'
            button.emoji = '❌'
            button.style = discord.ButtonStyle.red
            return False
        else:
            return True

    @discord.ui.button(label="Sent!", style=discord.ButtonStyle.success, emoji="✅")
    async def button_callback(self, button, interaction):
        if self.userid != interaction.user.id:
            button.disabled = True
            button.label = f'You are not <@{self.userid}>'
            button.emoji = '❌'
            button.style = discord.ButtonStyle.red
            return
        button.disabled = True
        await interaction.response.edit_message(view=self)
        await interaction.channel.send('Please send the txid!')```

I didnt remove some parts because Im testing tho

[prisma flicker]

you just do @discord.ui.button(label="Sent!", style=discord.ButtonStyle.success, emoji=":white_check_mark:", custom_id="foo")

and then in interaction_check you just say if interaction.data['custom_id'] == 'foo' or whatever

does that make sense?

[fervent cradle]

ye

and then what should I do to edit the button

like disable it, change the label and shi

if its not the user Id I need

[prisma flicker]

if you disable the button it disables for everyone

if you return False, the callback won't run for that user

[fervent cradle]

oh

[prisma flicker]

interaction_check runs before the callback

[fervent cradle]

damn ok

aaa alr

makes sense

[prisma flicker]

I see what you're asking

[fervent cradle]

but its not possible right

[prisma flicker]

now I need to figure out how my code works 😂

I have a view where if I push a button I remove the buttons and add another button

ah right

view.clear_items()
reopen_button = Button(label="Reopen", style=discord.ButtonStyle.grey, custom_id='work_order_view:reopen')
reopen_button.callback = reopen
view.add_item(reopen_button)```

that's in a static method in the view, which takes in the view as an argument

which I realize is a little confusing

in the callback I do await interaction.message.edit(embed=await WorkOrderView.get_work_order_embed(self.bot, self.work_order_id, interaction.message.guild, view=self), view=self)

WorkOrderView.get_work_order_embed is the static method

so let me take a step back and ask what you want to happen

[fervent cradle]

ok so

I want only one user to have the button enabled

an user id

but disabling it makes it disabled for everyone

So how could I make it send a message that only the user that tried to press the button sees that says "You are not <@user.id> and you cant press this button"

[fervent cradle]

lmao

[prisma flicker]

Just check the id in interaction_check and return false if it's not the right id

[zenith glacier]

so when i have this exact code, the options dont show at all

@bot.slash_command(name="yeah")
@option("Option", description="Choose your gender", choices=["Embed", "Raw", "Other"])
async def hello(
    ctx: discord.ApplicationContext,
    options: str,
):
    if options == 'Embed':
        await ctx.respond("wha")
    elif options == 'Raw':
        await ctx.respond("kys")
    else:
        await ctx.send("Invalid option!")```

[proud mason]

The parameter name and option name should match

There is a kwarg in the decorator if they are different

Pass the parameter name to it

[zenith glacier]

issue is i dont know

right

i did what you did

thanks for the quick response btw

[sleek haven]

is multiple cooldowns possible?
@ext_commands.cooldown(1, 15, ext_commands.BucketType.user)
this is the cooldown for normal users ^^^ (15 sec cooldown)
but i want it so that premium users only has 10sec cooldown

[proud mason]

Check out dynamic cooldown

[sleek haven]

ty

[errant crane]

Here's the cooldown example.

[proud mason]

There should be an example at the end

[sleek haven]

thx a lot ❤️

[proud mason]

np!

[spring hare]

Do bots see pronouns?

[proud mason]

Probably not

?tag aiohttp

[obtuse junco]

Use aiohttp.
requests and urllib are blocking. Do not use these libraries within your asynchronous code as they're not asynchronous.
(https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/faq.html#what-does-blocking-mean)

Py-cord uses aiohttp, so it should already be installed. An example of code using aiohttp and Py-cord:

async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as cs:
    async with cs.get('https://httpbin.org/json%27') as r:
        res = await r.json()  # returns dict
        await ctx.send(res['slideshow']['author']) 

For more help, see aiohttp's documentation: https://docs.aiohttp.org/en/stable/

[proud mason]

since you are making a web request, it might take more than 3 seconds to respond. you should add await ctx.defer() at the start of any such commands

[novel yacht]

oh thanks

If your command is nsfw, you can only use that command in nsfw channel

[novel yacht]

I can if channel isn't I can inform user?

[spring hare]

Yes? create on_error and respond with message

https://guide.pycord.dev/popular-topics/error-handling

[novel yacht]

Like that
https://guide.pycord.dev/popular-topics/error-handling#per-command-handling

[spring hare]

yup

[worn void]

How do I get the actual display name for a member? Like with the new discord username system? discord.member.display_name returns their normal username.

[pale mica]

Have you tried doing something like member.user.display_name?

[worn void]

the acutal discord api uses global_name, but thats not anywhere in the pycord docs, and I saw display_name was just something internal to get their username or something

ill try that now tho

[pale mica]

Ah

[worn void]

you cant get the user object from a member objects with member.user

[worn void]

is there even a way to get their display name with pycord yet?

[young bone]

With the master branch

[pale mica]

^ I don't think the newest version has global name

[worn void]

how do you force update to the master branch on github

[spare juniper]

Uhhh

isnt there a button

are you merging a branch or push a commit

[worn void]

i mean like

use the version thats on github master branch

of pycord

[spare juniper]

oh uhh that branch has unreleased stuff

[young bone]

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

[worn void]

thats the point

[worn void]

ty

[worn void]

do you know the usage?

[young bone]

what?

[worn void]

were you not talking to me?

[proud mason]

It does sorry by newest I thought master

?tag pomelo

[obtuse junco]

Before Pomelo-

member.name          -> username
member.nick          -> guild nick name
member.display_name  -> member.nick OR member.name

After Pomelo-

member.name          -> username
member.global_name   -> global display name (global nick name)
member.nick          -> guild nick name
member.display_name  -> member.nick OR member.global_name OR member.name

[proud mason]

[worn void]

still not working

[sage bear]

is it possible to restrict one select value in a drop-down menu to a user with a particular role?

[worn void]

i fixed it

[proud mason]

Oh how

[grizzled sentinel]

Not built in. You could implement it. Or you could just include that option only when a user with that role uses the app command or whatever.

[sage bear]

could i do elif select.values[0] == "blah" then if role not in interaction.user.roles:?

[grizzled sentinel]

That is the concept yes

[sage bear]

okay sweet

thanks

[finite flame]

hey, does @discord.default_permissions(administrator=True, manage_guild=True) mean I need both permissions or either of them?
and if it means both, how can I make it only need either?

I think it means either

If not, you use use local checks instead of discord ones

are bots allowed to edit other people's messages?

I was under the assumption they can only delete

[prisma flicker]

no, but they can remove embeds

oh perfect

Raises:

you need manage_messages to remove embeds from other people's messages

alright thanks!

[sage bear]

im making a game bot so a user can input a purchase with their coins, now they will input their order like x10 apples, x3 oranges, x5 bananas, however i want to store this in a list so ["10", "apple", "3", "orange"...] but i dont know how to split the numbers from the text

[prisma flicker]

can you send the code you have now?

[prisma flicker]

I would suggest reading up on python string manipulation and list slices

[sage bear]

i know partly how they work

[prisma flicker]

sounds like you have a good starting point then

another option would be to have a modal with 4 fields, quantity/text/quantity/text and then they can submit that multiple times for bigger orders. that way you don't have to do any manual parsing

[sage bear]

its just i can only have 5 fields in a modal and for people wanting to order more wouldnt be able to

[prisma flicker]

yep

hence submitting multiple orders

not the best solution but it's an option

or just have a slash command with a bunch of options

[sage bear]

so id have to use multiple modals?

[prisma flicker]

well they could submit the same modal multiple times

[sage bear]

would that work if i had multiple different items?

[prisma flicker]

I don't see why not

you submit it once for 3 apples and 2 oranges

and again for 4 bananas and 8 pears

and then you just execute the orders one at a time

[sage bear]

how would i do that?

[prisma flicker]

you don't have to do anything special...

[sage bear]

i didnt know you could submit them twice

[prisma flicker]

your callback just treats each order as an order

you shouldn't have to care if it's their 1st or 100th order

[sage bear]

ohh i see

oh that seems easier now

[prisma flicker]

yes

[sage bear]

thanks :)

[prisma flicker]

no problem 🙂

[sage bear]

if im wanting to access the results from the modal later on, how should i store the results?

[prisma flicker]

well, how are you storing things like your user's money?

[grizzled sentinel]

Not json plz 🤞

[sage bear]

a database

[prisma flicker]

do you not want to store the orders in the database?

do you need to store anything or would you just execute the order and store the results

[sage bear]

i need to store it because later on i need to calculate the price and therefore get the items and quantity again

[prisma flicker]

when is "later on"?

[buoyant pier]

Is there some better way to make like counting then on every message to get channel and and check if its same as in database? i think is so bad for performce of bot to check every message.

i had idea to make instances of every guild where bot counting is setup on bot start and save channel.id into class instance but still i need to check every message

[prisma flicker]

if it were me, I would deduct the money and add the items to the inventory right there in the callback

[sage bear]

i have an embed that they can choose which payment to continue with

[grizzled sentinel]

Like a counting bot?

[prisma flicker]

I can't answer that for you, but I would probably just store it in memory (in a variable), I don't see the need to put it in the db

[grizzled sentinel]

You could store it in a instance varible. Not sure if this is the best way but due to the property's of lists you could have

self.order =[]
MyModal(self.order)

# Modal callback
self.order.append(order_details)

[sage bear]

im confused about how to store the values if the modal has been answered more than once

[prisma flicker]

as a list

[buoyant pier]

now im storing guild id and channel id and current number into database. i dont have idea how to keep variables after bot restart

[sage bear]

so order_list.insert(0, amount)?

[prisma flicker]

I was replying to phyr, sorry

[buoyant pier]

oh sorry my bad

[prisma flicker]

more like this #998272089343668364 message

[sage bear]

ohh so just append

[prisma flicker]

if you just add message id as well as current number, you only need to look at messages between that message id until now when the bot starts

[sage bear]

do i need to call it self.order?

[prisma flicker]

the assumption is you're in a class (a cog) and you have an instance variable named order

[grizzled sentinel]

You would still need on message. Just filter out all messages from different channels.
To avoid calling the database constantly you can have a time-to-live cache with the channel ID. Just make sure to clear that value from the cache when it is changed.

[sage bear]

oh, i dont seem to

[grizzled sentinel]

Is this just for a small number of servers? (Less than 5) or do you want it to work on many

[buoyant pier]

maybe im litle bit dump but can you explain what do you mean by that?

[buoyant pier]

now counting is active on 6 servers i think but im scared if bot will grow it can make some bugs

[grizzled sentinel]

But the intent is for it to grow 👍

[prisma flicker]

you could just ignore everything that happened while the bot was down

although as I think about it I can see the issues that would cause

just wouldn't be a good user experience

[buoyant pier]

if you mean me yeah it can be problem. someone is at number 7 my bot goes offline and poeple count to 9 and my bot goes online and bot remember 7 as last number

[prisma flicker]

I know some bots add a reaction on every message for counting

that would let you know you've already checked that message

and also let users know the bot stopped tracking

[buoyant pier]

i already put reaction to messages that bot check and delete messages that arent numbers in that channel but still people dont stop counting when bot is offline

[prisma flicker]

right, but then when you're checking on startup you just skip messages that have the reaction

[prisma flicker]

does this make sense @buoyant pier? ^

and does that solve the issue

[buoyant pier]

i think it can work i will try that. thank you guys

[prisma flicker]

an optimization once your bot gets big enough is to not build in a check on startup, but only check in on_message

so if a guild stops counting for a while you don't have to waste resources looking them up until someone starts counting again

[grizzled sentinel]

It is a hard to solve issue. Its what programming is all about.

[buoyant pier]

oh thats actualy sounds good. also i can make like message they start counting again after like day or something. thank you

yea fixed

[halcyon gorge]

it looks like this only suppresses the embed on desktop and not mobile, is this just a limitation of the discord mobile apps?

[prisma flicker]

wut

are you sure?

sounds like a bug

[halcyon gorge]

yea

sent from mobile, embed not suppressed but checked the same message on discord desktop and it was suppressed

[sage bear]

im having trouble appending the info to a list

im getting myself confused

[shadow gate]

Is there any way to check if a user in voice is speaking? I searched google and found nothing useful, so I wanted to see if anyone here has figured it out

The following method only works on actual user mute status:

@bot.event
async def on_voice_state_update(member, prev, cur):
    if cur.self_mute and not prev.self_mute:
        print(f"{member} stopped talking!")
    elif prev.self_mute and not cur.self_mute:
        print(f"{member} started talking!")```

[shadow gate]

I see this:
https://discord.com/developers/docs/topics/rpc#speakingstartspeakingstop

[silver moat]

and look at the top of that page

[shadow gate]

oof

[shadow gate]

I may have to go to the dark side and create a discord.js script. If nothing else, than to make an event listener to pass to python

[hushed cargo]

response = await ctx.respond(content="music player")
message = await ctx.channel.fetch_message(response.id)

when i run this it gives me an unknown message error

[round rivet]

assuming you're using slash commands you can get the response message with ctx.interaction.original_message scratch that, one sec scratch that x2, it's right

[hushed cargo]

bc im tryna send the message as a response to a slash command then edit the message later

i just wanna get the message object from that message so i can do message.edit()

[round rivet]

yeah

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/application_commands.html#discord.ApplicationContext.interaction gives you an Interaction, https://docs.pycord.dev/en/stable/api/models.html#discord.Interaction.original_response gives back the message that was sent

[hushed cargo]

ohhhh that makes sense thank you-

[round rivet]

you can also use ctx.edit

[hushed cargo]

is response.id useless then?

its because im using this for my music player

[round rivet]

if it's the initial response (no defer or anything before) then response.id is the interaction id

[hushed cargo]

its gonna need to store the message object to use later

[round rivet]

not the message id

since it returns Interaction

[hushed cargo]

ohhh im dumb-

[round rivet]

if you defer first it'll return a message

[hushed cargo]

await ctx.respond(content="music player", ephemeral=False)
message = ctx.interaction.original_message

when i do this i get this error

discord.errors.ApplicationCommandInvokeError: Application Command raised an exception: AttributeError: 'function' object has no attribute 'edit'

wait no

that

[full basin]

ctx.edit is easier on your case

[silver moat]

it's a coro

[hushed cargo]

its bc i store the message

[silver moat]

message = await ctx.interaction.original_message()

it's a coro

[full basin]

Is Interaction.message the same as the View.message

[silver moat]

but if you are going to edit it, this is better

[hushed cargo]

if the bot isnt playing any music it sends this message
else it sends a message with an ephemeral, i need to store the first message to edit it later

[full basin]

Skuid 👉🏽👈🏽

[proud mason]

On master branch, yes

[full basin]

Ok. Am not on master

Ty

[timber mica]

I assume running User.mutual_guilds on a sharded bot would only return the ones on that shard; if this is the case what would be a way to see all guilds that the bot shares with the user, across all shards?

[round rivet]

It should return across all shards

An AutoShardedBot functions code-wise as if it were single shard iirc

unified cache and all that

[timber mica]

alright, tnank you

[hazy mango]

Is there a way i can complete a slash command without having to return a response? the bot has a command which juts dm's some information. If i dont use interaction.response.defer() it shows the interaction did not respond error on discord app, but if i use the defer method it just says bot is thinking... is there a way to remove that option as well?

[coarse spire]

You could respond to the interaction and then delete the response

[hazy mango]

thats what i did but i thought there might have been a better solution for it. Thanks you, ill just stick with this method then

[coarse spire]

Ah, ok. Well, there aren't really any other methods at the moment to not respond to an interaction without getting the error that the application didn't respond.

[young bone]

sadly no

[hazy mango]

thank you

[warm tendon]

what happens when you defer and do nothing else? (never tried this approache)

@coarse spire @hazy mango

[hazy mango]

The commands keeps looping on "the bot is thinking" message

[proud mason]

for components based interaction, this is fine and allowed.
for app cmds, it will keep showing "the bot is thinking" for 15 mins, after which it says "bot didnt respond"

[warm tendon]

is it possible to delete it?

[proud mason]

best way would be to send an ephemeral message saying "Sent DM!" or "Please check your DMs"

[hazy mango]

Oh damn I forgot ephimeral messages existed

[warm tendon]

Sorry I am not helpful, I just got curious after reading

talking about messages, I do have a problem with paginator.
it does send embeds the way its supposed to and the timeout works also.

it becomes problematic when its message reaches the end of timeout and was deleted.

I tried with try/except but still get an error each time that happens

# embeds is a list filled with embeds
            try:
                paginator = Paginator(pages=embeds, author_check=True, disable_on_timeout=True, timeout=300)
                await paginator.respond(interaction=ctx.interaction)
            except discord.errors.NotFound:
                return

any ideas?

[proud mason]

hey it is great to brainstorm

[proud mason]

this shouldn’t happen tbh

but you can subclass Paginator and override on_timeout

the error is raised from there

not from paginator.respond

also which version are you using?

[warm tendon]

2.4.1

[proud mason]

hm

what happens on master branch?

[warm tendon]

How does it normally react, in this situation?

I may have an idea

[light river]

how do you access someone's display name?

because when i update my display name, it fires a member_update event

and i literally can't find any way to access the display name

[proud mason]

The global display name? (Global nick name)

?tag pomelo

[obtuse junco]

Before Pomelo-

member.name          -> username
member.nick          -> guild nick name
member.display_name  -> member.nick OR member.name

After Pomelo-

member.name          -> username
member.global_name   -> global display name (global nick name)
member.nick          -> guild nick name
member.display_name  -> member.nick OR member.global_name OR member.name

[light river]

what is pomelo in this case

also what pycord version do i have to be in

for this to work

[proud mason]

Pomelo is the name for the new username update

[proud mason]

Only on master branch rn

[light river]

how do i get it

[vast sun]

Hi, is possible to get display name?

[prisma flicker]

yes, you need to use the master version

[proud mason]

?tag install

[obtuse junco]

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

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

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

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

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

[proud mason]

[proud mason]

The guy above you was asking the same thing 😂

[light river]

for some reason the last command gives this

?tag git

[hushed cargo]

So ifound a problem with my music bot, the view for the song doesn't always last long enough for the song to end, so near the end of the song it just won't respond to any of the buttons, any idea how I'd fix this?

[proud mason]

Set the timeout to a high number

[coarse spire]

change the timeout for the buttons

[proud mason]

Maybe 10 mins

[hushed cargo]

Ohh wait yea I can just set the timeout to the length of the song

Bc I do have that info

[proud mason]

That might cause problems if someone pauses

[hushed cargo]

Crap true- lmao thanks

[proud mason]

[hushed cargo]

Wait

What if someone just leaves it paused-

For some dumb reason

There's no way to unpause it-

[proud mason]

Set indefinite timeout?

Set to None

Any reason to have it timeout?

[hushed cargo]

Well it's bc I didn't set the timeout-

So by default it wasn't bone 😭

None*

[proud mason]

Yea by default it is 3 mins

[hushed cargo]

Almost perfect for most songs

Also is there a way to see how long it's been playing a song? Without storing the time it started it no?

[proud mason]

You could use the message creating time?

[hushed cargo]

Can't

It sends the message for the first song

Then edits it for every sobg after that

[proud mason]

Ah

[hushed cargo]

That message kinda becomes the player

[proud mason]

Edit time?

[hushed cargo]

Tree hats a thing? Lmao

That's*

[proud mason]

.rtfm message.edited

[winter condor]

4 results

discord.Message.edited_at
discord.WebhookMessage.edited_at
discord.InteractionMessage.edited_at
discord.SyncWebhookMessage.edited_at

[proud mason]

Ye

[hushed cargo]

:0 thank you I'll look into that

[proud mason]

Never really thought it would come to use for anyone 😂

[hushed cargo]

Well thinik Abt it

If you press last song button

In the first like 10 secs

It plays last song

Else it restarts the song

This is actually really useful lmao

[hushed cargo]

thank you- this helped so much

[flat kite]

Is there a way to get a users status?

Thought of something like discord.User.status but thats not an attribute

[proud mason]

.rtfm user.activity

[winter condor]

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

[proud mason]

Hmm

[iron halo]

how do i pick a type of option using the @option decorator? or do i have to use the other way

[silver moat]

just making sure so there aren’t misunderstandings. type referring to string, int, etc.?

[iron halo]

no like attachment

or member or whatever

the only thing on the docs is doing it without the decorator

[silver moat]

yeah like string, int, members, attachments, and stuff like that

[iron halo]

yes yes

[silver moat]

would you like an example?

[iron halo]

sure

unless it does it automatically when i do async def dspjfidso(ctx, osdjaoi: discord.Member)?

[full basin]

love the func name

[iron halo]

thank u

[silver moat]

@bot.slash_command(name = "upload")
@discord.option(name = "photo", description = "You can upload a photo here", input_type = discord.SlashCommandOptionType.attachment)
async def upload(
  ctx: discord.ApplicationContext,
  photo: discord.Attachment
) -> None:
  ...

I think something like that would work

[iron halo]

ah thank you

lets try

[silver moat]

If I made a typo, oops

[iron halo]

it shows the attachment thing on discord but doesnt like it clearly

omg

i forgot await

ok it works thank you

now to figure out how to send the attachment

[slow vector]

File = discord.File(photo)
Ctx.send(File)

[young bone]

?

that was random

[iron halo]

i feel like thats too easy

[slow vector]

Nope

[iron halo]

well it did not work

  File "/home/ubuntu/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/discord/client.py", line 382, in _run_event

[silver moat]

what does your code look like?

[iron halo]

await ctx.respond("hey", file)

i knew it was not that easy

also file=file says discord.errors.ApplicationCommandInvokeError: Application Command raised an exception: InvalidArgument: file parameter must be File

and attachment=file does not exist

[cyan quail]

How did you define file

[iron halo]

async def sdfsds(ctx, file: discord.Attachment):

[cyan quail]

Oh so you want to resend the file the user uploaded?

[iron halo]

yes

[cyan quail]

You should use attachment.to_file then

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api/models.html#discord.Attachment.to_file

[iron halo]

    await ctx.respond("hey", file=newfile)```
i saw that on stackoverflow but it still says must be file

unless id id it wrong

[cyan quail]

you need to await the first line

[iron halo]

ah ok ty

after putting await in the wrong place somehow it finally worked ty

[tribal girder]

how to get which menu is selected (discord.ui.select) by user but in int? used to acces list index

[trim cipher]

how can I edit a previously sent response ? like for a music bot, once the 1st song plays... it says the song name and when the next song plays, it just edits the previous message with new song's name?

[silver moat]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api/application_commands.html#discord.ApplicationContext.edit

[hushed cargo]

so for my music bot i made a way to add all songs from a playlist to the queue, how do i display the full queue when its length could easily surpass 4096?

[prisma flicker]

Use paginator

[hushed cargo]

would that prevent this?

discord.errors.HTTPException: 400 Bad Request (error code: 50035): Invalid Form Body
In embeds: Embed size exceeds maximum size of 6000

[prisma flicker]

yep

[hushed cargo]

hmm

can still send a message like that in an ephemeral ?

[prisma flicker]

yep

[trim cipher]

and how can I send message without using ctx? coz trying this:

@bot.event
async def on_wavelink_track_end(payload:wavelink.TrackEventPayload, ctx: bridge.BridgeContext):
    vc = payload.player
    vc.autoplay = False
    try:

            next_song = vc.queue.get()  
            await vc.play(next_song) 
            await ctx.send("Now playing: `{}`".format(next_song.title))
    except wavelink.exceptions.QueueEmpty:

gives me this error:

store a dict of guild id vs channel

get the channel object from there and send

cant get ctx like that

[trim cipher]

won't tht be a very long process? like storing every possible channel (coz the cmd can be used in any channel) for every guild the bot is in?

[hushed cargo]

i instead of using it, basically made my own version of it :D

[hushed cargo]

with mine i just needa do this as the view an works perfectly
view=paginator(embeds)

[proud mason]

well the bot can only be in 1 vc in a guild.. so whenever a user runs a music command, store the command's channel against the guild id in the dict. then you can get the channel from the event and send a message

you can delete the guild id from the dict when the bot leaves the channel

[sharp talon]

Hello, how can i get the guild id on a modal callback funtion (interaction.user.guild.id returns none)?

can anybody help me since im lost in the

ok i just use rtfm found out it was guild_id

imma test it

i returns None, weired

weird*

[proud mason]

hmm

what are your intents?

also, did you try interaction.guild_id?

[sharp talon]

yes

[sharp talon]

frick i forgot

thanks

❤️

(i told my mind to do it later lol)

[sharp talon]

hey still returns nothing

i added intents

[proud mason]

the parameter name is intents

but interaction.guild_id should return regardless of intents. are you sending this in a dm?

also, show pip list

[sharp talon]

OH YEAGH

i am on dm

im dumb

ok thanks so much

[proud mason]

lmao

[trim cipher]

can u help me with it... how to get the channel from the event and store it then?

[primal furnace]

Hey I have a question. My bot is now in 1,400 servers and I've noticed the on_ready is quite terribly slow. I wanted to start sharding, but I have no knowledge on it. I don't develop much anymore and I run my free bot for fun. Any easy way to just implement sharding rq so I can go attend to my life and let my bot function without being super slow?

Sorry! I checked the docs and it did say Sharding is easy. But it was confusing to me.

Using translate btw.

[coarse spire]

https://guide.pycord.dev/popular-topics/sharding Basically, if you define your bot/client as discord.Bot for your bot now (for example, it's the same for all of them) just replace it with discord.AutoShardedBot

then, PyCord will automatically shard your bot

[primal furnace]

So when initializing the bot, use discord.AutoShardedBot.

I don't have to manually do it for each command?

client = commands.AutoShardedBot(intents=intents,chunk_guilds_at_startup=False)

I'm assuming you mean like this?

[coarse spire]

Yeah

[primal furnace]

How do you define how many shards you want / how many are split between them

Is there like shard=

[coarse spire]

You can just pass shards to commands.AutoShardedBot as well. For example: commands.AutoShardedBot(shards=4)

[primal furnace]

So it isn't shard_count

It's shards ?. And I'm assuming it'll just devide them across right.

[coarse spire]

Yeah, it's just shards

[primal furnace]

Alright. And for everything in my bot using bot. Like self.bot, does that need to change?

[young bone]

Self bot?

[primal furnace]

No I mean

self.bot.guilds.

Does this need to be self.bot.AutoShardBot.guilds

[trim cipher]

ig no

[trim cipher]

this will be enough maybe

[primal furnace]

Yeah it's working now.

Do shards have to restart seperately?

Or is it still all gonna be in 1

[trim cipher]

sry idh any idea abt it.. maybe someone else with better understanding could help

[primal furnace]

Docs say to use shard_count

[cyan quail]

fwiw the reason on_ready is slow isn't because of a lack of sharding, but more likely because fetching all the members across 1400 guilds is a slow operation in itself

[shadow gate]

I did this >.>

[primal furnace]

Yeah but it didn't do this when it was in 400.

[cyan quail]

1400 and 400 is quite a large difference...

[primal furnace]

So if I shard it should let me avoid turning chunking off.

[cyan quail]

if sharding does fix it then that's good, but if not then you either have to accept that your on_ready will be slow (just manage your restarts better) or disable chunking entirely

[primal furnace]

For sharding is it shard= or shard_count? I'm seeing mixed opinions.

[cyan quail]

whatever the docs say

but at your size you don't really need to specify it

discord can set a recommended shard count

[primal furnace]

How do some bots manage their restarts differently per shard?

[cyan quail]

well strictly speaking shards are different processes

AutoShardedBot just manages it all in one client

[primal furnace]

Well upon sharding the on_ready started quicker and my ram usage went down

[cyan quail]

fair enough then

[primal furnace]

I didn't provide a shard count though

Do you know how I can print out the shard info?

[cyan quail]

yeah you don't have to

[primal furnace]

I'd like to know whats going on. Such as how many are being used.

[cyan quail]

probably on that docs page hold on

[primal furnace]

I saw get_shard. It doesn't make sense.

It said there is shard IDS

[cyan quail]

there's Bot.shards which will be a list of them

[primal furnace]

So print(Bot.shards)

Hey @cyan quail

@client.event
async def on_ready():
  activity = discord.Activity(type=discord.ActivityType.listening, name="/help")
  await client.change_presence(activity=activity)
  print(bot.shards)```

How can you put this outside of an on_ready

So I can restart and always have the status

sorry for pinging

[cyan quail]

Don't do change presence in on_ready, there's a kwarg in the Bot class itself

Probably activity, check on the docs

[primal furnace]

got it

[woeful spindle]

I’m getting random 404 unknown interaction errors even tho im defering ?

[trim cipher]

hi, I did what you said... and the program is working as intended. here is what I did:

I just want your review on this, is this ok? Please improve me if you think I could do anything better in the code . Thanks :D

[proud mason]

looks good 👍

i would make 1 change tho

[trim cipher]

👀

[proud mason]

it might be better to store the channel only if the song played successfully

also, forgot a return at the end of this?

[trim cipher]

oh yea.. and also I have an idea:
I should just add the song in queue here:

maybe?

[proud mason]

🤔

[trim cipher]

so that if I use play after adding a playlist, it just adds into the queue instead of skipping the queue and playing the recently requested song?

[proud mason]

oh yea makes sense

[shadow gate]

Are there any workarounds for determining speaking status start and end?

[proud mason]

if you wanted, you could have a bool parameter to play now instead of adding to queue

[shadow gate]

The best I have right now is exporting discord.js user speaking status. I mean it works but it's resource heavy and might need two bots

[proud mason]

speaking status?

oh the green thing?

[shadow gate]

an event when a user starts speaking in a voice chat, and when they end

[proud mason]

voice events dont come through the main gateway iirc. so it might be weird to dispatch that as a normal event

most voice stuff isnt documented too unfortunately

##1984 was already a giant headache (it had to workaround bugs in discord clients) 😭

[errant crane]

https://github.com/Pycord-Development/pycord/pull/1984

[shadow gate]

I'll back up to explain what I'm trying to do. I have a voice bot speaking to gpt. What I want to do is have the user speak to initiate the recording, and when he stops add that to the buffer and send that to openai's whisper for transcript

[proud mason]

oh interesting

[shadow gate]

Right now I have to use a command to initiate the recording. Soo.... after searching I just found discord.js could give me an event on speaking. I just export that now. But it's clunky

[proud mason]

you could determine the pause on your own

not super easy, but possible

decide a timeout duration

[shadow gate]

read the buffer I guess?

[proud mason]

create your own Sink and override the write method. this is called for every packet, and the bytes are passed to it

beware tho. voice on discord is a very dark place

[shadow gate]

o.o hows that?

[proud mason]

^

[full basin]

Can a tasks.loop() get started as multiple instances? or how could I create a task that i can start with different params

[fervent cradle]

I can't send a custom emoji through a webhook

[full basin]

Yes you can

[proud mason]

i think you can create a copy of the loop. or you can create a function that returns a task loop

[fervent cradle]

Ok I'll test my code some more

[proud mason]

@everyone role needs to have external emoji perms. known discord issue

[full basin]

Hm

would asyncio.create_task with a coro be better then

cause i assume asyncio just creates the task and doesnt care if theres already one

[proud mason]

task loops are just asyncio.create_task under the hood

[full basin]

hm

[proud mason]

it just takes a coroutine.. there is no such thing as a "duplicate" task

you can make your own version of a task loop pretty easily tbh

[full basin]

do i look smart om

[sage bear]

i’m wanting to store the inputted values from a modal that can be submitted multiple times so that i can use the inputted information later. but i’m not sure how to store it and how to store the values if the nodal has been answered more than once

[shadow gate]

What's the event on a user start speaking and end speaking?

[proud mason]

So there isn't really an explicit event for start speaking and end speaking

Discord has a general SPEAKING event, and it should have the currently speaking members

Pycord doesn't directly expose any of this, but you might be able to work your way around stuff

[shadow gate]

oof

[proud mason]

The voice client will have a ws attribute

This is of the DiscordVoiceWebSocket class

It has this method
https://github.com/Pycord-Development/pycord/blob/master/discord/gateway.py#L857-L887

At the end, it calls _hook

Which currently does nothing

https://github.com/Pycord-Development/pycord/blob/master/discord/gateway.py#L780-L781

You can override this method

[shadow gate]

This is incredible so far

[proud mason]

Before all that, you might want to enable logging and check if the event actually gets sent for end speaking 💀

[shadow gate]

Even if it doesn't it's still huge

[proud mason]

Lul

To override that method, you will need to subclass ofc.

In order to use your custom Websocket Class, you will need to subclass VoiceClient and override this method
https://github.com/Pycord-Development/pycord/blob/master/discord/voice_client.py#L371-L377

And use that when connecting

You can bubble the websocket events up into the VoiceClient if that makes life easier

[proud mason]

That would be a good library contribution if you are interested

[proud mason]

Modify DiscordVoiceWebSocket.from_client to save a reference to client (the VoiceClient). And then just call a method in the _hook

[shadow gate]

You are amazing :3

[proud mason]

Lol no worries

[full basin]

@proud mason I used asyncio.create_task tbh

Does what i need it to

[shadow gate]

This is probably entirely wrong >.>```from discord.voice_client import VoiceClient
from discord.gateway import DiscordVoiceWebSocket

    if op == self.SPEAKING:
        user_id = data['user_id']
        speaking = data['speaking']

        if speaking:
            print(f'User {user_id} started speaking')

[proud mason]

naice

[proud mason]

looks pretty good 👍

not sure what you are doing here tho

        self.channel = self.guild.get_channel(int(data['channel_id']))
        await self.channel.connect()

also, why this part?

    # A method where we handle the connection
    async def connect(self, *, timeout, reconnect):
        self.ws = await CustomDiscordVoiceWebSocket.from_client(self)
        self._connected.clear()

[proud mason]

the normal thing is completely different

[warm grotto]

How do I change the discord.ScheduledEventLocation value to a discord.StageChannel?

[cyan quail]

you mean when using event.edit?

[warm grotto]

Yes

[cyan quail]

you just pass the channel in

admittedly the docs aren't very clear on this, but location allows channel objects

[warm grotto]

Did that; got this

[cyan quail]

huh hold on

[warm grotto]

Also tried: py event.edit(location = discord.ScheduledEventLocation(value=StreamServer.get_channel()), but a state parameter is required, and don't know where state comes from, looking at the documentation and GitHub code

[cyan quail]

what you did the first time is correct

just checking, does this line return a real channel object if you print it?

[warm grotto]

It printed out correctly

[cyan quail]

i think i've found the issue anyway, will PR a fix

[warm grotto]

Great! Thanks

[cyan quail]

wait huh

the error just randomly stopped...?

[warm grotto]

So if I try again it works?

[cyan quail]

...hopefully?

i got the error the first time i tried editing

then added prints to debug on a different bot

but then it never errored again on either

possibly a discord issue since i didn't actually change anything

[young bone]

Isn`t also better to use get_channel and fetch_channel if get doesnt really get the channel?

[cyan quail]

perhaps but that wasn't the issue here

(and you can assume get to be reliable for the most part)

[left flame]

Is there a way to remove a cooldown set with @commands.cooldown() if, for example, there is an error in the command format?

[twilit valley]

I would like to store data about who was most recently awarded a certain role. I would assume that involves storing the user ID in a certain place and overwriting it when a new user is awarded that new role.

I could use a SQL database but that seems a bit overkill, is there a better way to do this or is it best to stick with the database?

[shadow gate]

Doesn't seem to work. I don't get any opcodes from the hook. It's like the hook isn't even being hit

I think I'll give up for now. If I can commission somebody to get it working I would! 😉

[proud mason]

oh boy...

[shadow gate]

I think for now I'll use a twin bot and pass the status from discord.js

[proud mason]

does received_message get called?

[shadow gate]

I get this from some print to consoles I got

Not that I can tell from this at least

[proud mason]

hmm doesnt seem useful

[shadow gate]

I'll stop for now. Maybe when I come back to it I'll find something obvious I'm missing

[iron halo]

if i change the code in a cog and reload is it meant to update with the changes? or have i done something wrong

[sage bear]

@prisma flicker

[proud mason]

yes reloading the extension will update with changes changes you make

[iron halo]

it does not want to work for me

[proud mason]

what changes did you make?

[iron halo]

i just changed the text in an embed

to see if it worked

[sage bear]

i’m wanting to store the inputted values from a modal that can be submitted multiple times so that i can use the inputted information later. but i’m not sure how to store it and how to store the values if the nodal has been answered more than once

[cyan quail]

https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Command.reset_cooldown

basically if you have the ctx, it's ctx.command.reset_cooldown(ctx)

[proud mason]

are you sending the modal from a button? and the button can be pressed again and again?

[proud mason]

you could also set this to False
https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Command.cooldown_after_parsing

[sage bear]

yes and yes

[proud mason]

so you could have a dict with the message id as they key, and your data as the value (probably a list/dict)

[sage bear]

wait, wdym?

[cyan quail]

well it's SlashCommandOptionType (from discord, not discord.commands), but you rarely need to use that manually

so you don't need the import at all

also type=option will break the whole thing, you don't need that either because it will inherit from the annotation

[young bone]

Also dont use ctx: commands.Context that is a slash command and not a prefix command ;3

[novel yacht]

[copper pine]

The buttons on my bot don't last very long, after a couple of minutes they stop working. I think it's a timeout issue, but I've seen bots with buttons that last much longer. Does anyone know how I can solve this?

[cyan quail]

timeout=None in your view

[young bone]

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

[cyan quail]

are you intending to remove all your other options?

[copper pine]

thank you

[cyan quail]

otherwise the changes you're making are correct

oh well

you still need ctx after self

[grizzled sentinel]

You can increase the timeout. However this will not last in between restarts. Nelo and Zervyrel show how to make it last in between restarts of the bot

[cyan quail]

just that the previous typehint was wrong

[novel yacht]

upd code*

[cyan quail]

ok you're BASICALLY there py ctx: commands.Contextwhat zerv was pointing out here is that this shouldn't be commands.Context, but rather discord.ApplicationContext (or just leave it as ctx)

[novel yacht]

but again i removed/updated, and again that problem

[cyan quail]

just remove the import...

it doesn't exist and you aren't using it

[iron halo]

i have a similar problem, when i put just ctx, it becomes an option in the slash command and with discord.ApplicationContext it says AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'value' im so confused

[novel yacht]

what about option?

[young bone]

That is weird, do you have anything else than py-cord installed?

[cyan quail]

you're actually using option, but you aren't using OptionType (which the error is calling out)

[cyan quail]

can you show the code here

[iron halo]

class Admin(commands.Cog):
    def __init__(self, bot):
        self.bot = bot

    @admin.command(name="givemoney", description = "Bot owner only")
    @option("member", description = "The user that you want to give money to", required = True)
    @option("amount", description = "The amount of money you want to give", required = True)
    @option("reason", description = "The reason for giving the money", required=True)
    async def givemoney(self, ctx: discord.ApplicationContext, member: discord.Member, amount: int, reason: str):
      await ctx.respond("abc")

that gives the nonetype thing error

[cyan quail]

how is admin defined

[iron halo]

admin = bot.create_group("admin", "Admin commands", guild_ids=[1129032612288147526])

[cyan quail]

ok slight readjustment

wait

[novel yacht]

fixed, thanks

[cyan quail]

is that cog in the same file as your bot?

nice

[iron halo]

no i imported it

[cyan quail]

hmmm don't do that

you shouldn't import bot to cogs

slash groups in cogs are defined a bit differently

inside the class but outside the init, you should create a SlashCommandGroup ```py

admin = discord.SlashCommandGroup(...)

@admin.command()
async def command(...)```

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

[iron halo]

ah reloading works now thanks

[cyan quail]

allgood

[cunning furnace]

Sorry to bother but does anyone know how i'd go about making a slash command option where I type in lets say 100 and it'll then display the choices as 100k, 100m, 100betc.

[full basin]

Autocomplete

[errant crane]

Here's the slash autocomplete example.

[fervent cradle]

how could I add a role to an user?

By pressing a button

[full basin]

.rtfm member.add_roles

[winter condor]

1 results

discord.Member.add_roles

[cunning furnace]

Thank you 🙂

[fervent cradle]

like when he presses the button

it gives a role by id

[full basin]

The method is the same

[fervent cradle]

oh ok

U got like an example or smthing?

[full basin]

You just apply the method to interaction.user

Get the role like any other role

[iron halo]

In 1: Application command names must be unique can it at least tell me which i have like 100

[full basin]

You have to check your code

[iron halo]

i commented like half of them out and it still says it ajfoisdjfds

[fervent cradle]

alr thanks

ye it works, ty

[meager heron]

Is it yet possible to allow multiple selection on a slash command option?

[silver moat]

ig you can code it yourself with autocomplete, but not natively

[prisma flicker]

sup

[iron halo]

reloading cogs wont add new slash commands is that normal or

[silver moat]

yes

[solemn idol]

As in functionality or displaying cuz GitHub issue --> #2015

[simple canopy]

is there an easy way to get all emojis from message?

i think there was something like that

[iron halo]

well u cant use them if they dont display right?

thats not what i mean

if you make a new slash command and then reload the cog then it doesnt show up you have to restart the whole bot

[silver moat]

RegEx?

[simple canopy]

seems to be the only way i guess

is there an expression i can borrow

[silver moat]

I don't know how you are returning it

[simple canopy]

im stealing it

[solemn idol]

Well obviously displaying no, but... Just checkout the issue you'll understand

[iron halo]

i did

i dont see how its the same as what i said tho

im not unloading anything

[silver moat]

(<a?)?:\w+:(\d{16,21}>)?

I think that should work

[simple canopy]

i think that works on :emoji_name: and the lower one

i am pretty sure discord.Message.content, and clean_content as well, returns emojis in <:name:id> format, and i only need that

i think i'll figure it out

thanks anyways

[solemn idol]

Unloading reloading and loading in

[silver moat]

no it should work on both

[simple canopy]

yeah, i only need the "complicated" one

did it already anyways

[silver moat]

alright

[undone falcon]

if only one role fail to delete(exemple roles is 5 roles) (Forbiden), will it steal delete the 4 other roles that the bot have permisisosn to delete

[silver moat]

if atomic, yes

[undone falcon]

I see but how do you know which one(s) failed ?

[silver moat]

you can check the member again

[undone falcon]

I see thank you !

🤩

I could also call the method on each role and it woudl be equivalent on atomic=True ?

but I would know for each roles if it failed without checking the member

[silver moat]

if you do it role by role and atomic is false, you would be able to catch which role removals didn't work

[undone falcon]

I see, I will do this yes thank you !

[silver moat]

at least I think this is how it works

[undone falcon]

Will try it thank you for you help

[woeful spindle]

anyone know why I’m getting random 404 unknown interaction errors even tho im defering?

[hushed cargo]

is there a way to get a list of the bots dm channels? i tried "bot.private_channels" but that returns an empty list

[wet tartan]

Anyone know?

i installed opus with homebrew

[hushed cargo]

is there a way i can have a button with a url that uses a different style

[silver moat]

no, url buttons only have one style

but you could have a styled button that sends an ephemeral message containing the link or something

but that seems kinda clunky

[hushed cargo]

yea bc i made a better looking emoji i wanna use instead of the dumb one that style uses-

im guessing theres no way i could do that?

[silver moat]

url buttons can have emojis is that's what you're looking for?

[hushed cargo]

i want just the emoji not the emoji and the url icon thingy

[silver moat]

yeah sorry, I don't think that's possible

[hushed cargo]

dammit

oki- ty

[silver moat]

no worries

[hushed cargo]

no way i could like fork pycord and just change that? or is that pic a discord thing?

[full basin]

It's Discord's

[hushed cargo]

is there no way to have no text or anything with the button? closest thing i found was using an invisible unicode thingy but that makes the icon off centre

i really dont see why id want a label or anything here-

[hushed cargo]

ended up going with this- looks a lil better

[silver moat]

Couldn't you have put the link button on the second (index 1 ) row?

[hushed cargo]

i plan of having multiple buttons and they all just gonna have emojis so having one button thats a lil wider than the others wont look nice

like imma have at least another row hopefully full

[silver moat]

ok whatever floats your goat

[hushed cargo]

but yea ill see how i like this might change

[primal furnace]

If my bot is in 1,000 servers and I restart it. Do I need to wait some time before using guild.member if I wanna accurately fetch everyone?

[proud mason]

You will need to wait until on_ready is dispatched

[coarse spire]

So, I'm responding to an interaction (when the user clicks a button) with another view. Is there any way to edit the original interaction and disable that button but still keeping the response to the interaction?

I've tried many different ways but none seem to work

[storm oyster]

Assuming you're subclassing view, inside the callback you'd do button.disabled = True and update the message by await interaction.message.edit(view=self)
Then you can reply with the new view

[coarse spire]

oh, and, I need to reply with the new view as an ephemeral message as well 😕

[storm oyster]

Pass in ephemeral=True while replying then

[coarse spire]

ephemeral doesn't exist for interaction.message.edit

[storm oyster]

No wait what are you trying to do

ephemeral can be only used in interactions

Here you wanted to disable the button so we used interaction.mrssage.edit

To send a new ephemeral message you'd want to do await interaction.response.send_message(..., ephemeral=True) if I'm not wrong

[coarse spire]

But if I edit the message first and disable the button, I get discord.errors.InteractionResponded: This interaction has already been responded to before when I try to respond to it

and if I disable the buttons after i've responded with the new view, it modifies the new view to the old one

[storm oyster]

You're supposed to disable the button first then edit the message

Can you show your code

[coarse spire]

I know, I am doing that

[coarse spire]

@discord.ui.button(label="Auto-setup", custom_id="autosetup", style=discord.ButtonStyle.blurple, row=0)
    async def auto_setup_callback(self, button, interaction):
        button.disabled = True
        await interaction.message.edit(view=self)
        await interaction.response.send_message("Do you wish to automatically configure the bot for this server?", view=confirm_auto_setup(), ephemeral=True)```

[storm oyster]

You get any errors?

[coarse spire]

Yeah. discord.errors.InteractionResponded: This interaction has already been responded to before

[storm oyster]

Use await interaction.followup.send()

Instead of interaction.response.send

[coarse spire]

That worked, thank you so much 😄

[storm oyster]

Np 👍

[woeful spindle]

bump

[spring hare]

Depends on your code, but in my experience, discord just sometimes does that for no apparent reason (maybe ping or slow code, idk?)
If it doesn't affect your bot, then just ignore it.

[woeful spindle]

ive added a cooldown for my cmds (1 hour) with slash commands and so when the error occurs, users have to wait an hour to run the command again which is majorly affecting my bot tbh and i need to get it fixed asap

ill send my code one second

@shift.command(description = "Send a shift start message in #sessions.")
    @discord.guild_only()
    @checks.mr_only()
    @commands.cooldown(1, 3600, commands.BucketType.guild)
    async def start(self, ctx: discord.ApplicationContext):
        await ctx.defer()
        e = discord.Embed(colour = 0x2B2D31)
        e.title = "Bakery Shift"
        e.description = "A shift is happening!"
        nam = ctx.author.nick if ctx.author.nick else ctx.author.name
        e.set_footer(text = f"Hosted by {nam}", icon_url = ctx.author.avatar.url)
        e.timestamp = discord.utils.utcnow()
        ses = self.bot.get_channel(1110287864262033510)
        await ses.send("<@&1086399112922009650>")
        await ses.send(embed = e)
        await ctx.respond("Success! Shift successfully started.")

ignore indentation I’m on mobile rn

[spring hare]

Why are you... deferring?

I don't see any reason to defer in this code tbh

afaik ctx.respond can automatically defer if you respond after 3 seconds

[woeful spindle]

before i was deferring i was still getting unknown interaction but I can try again

[spring hare]

odd

Try without defer

Or.... use logger/profiler to check where you have bottlenecks

[spring hare]

What hosting and pycord version?

[cinder pilot]

How to check if bot has perms to mention a role in a specific channel

[woeful spindle]

2.3.2 is my version

[spring hare]

Afaik there is no permission to mention a role, if you can write message, then you can mention basically

[cinder pilot]

But what if I'm not sure if the bot can mention that role

[spring hare]

Wdym?

You mean that?

[cinder pilot]

oh yes

[spring hare]

Or that?

[cinder pilot]

so I just need to check if it has mention everyone permission?

Okay got it

[wet coral]

just request the permission when the bot is added to the server...

[cinder pilot]

Thanks

[cinder pilot]

But it's mention everyone

I don't think most people would give it

[wet coral]

Well but to be able to use it, you have to request it nevertheless.

[cinder pilot]

I just wanted to check something

I'll think about that later

thanks for your help

[spring hare]

Wait

[wet coral]

Whether that is before or after the bot joins you have to "ask" for it. Either in the bot adding menu or through some kind of message...

[spring hare]

You can check it easily

guild.me -> bot Member

Member.guild_permissions -> Permissions

and mention_everyone

[cinder pilot]

yes I wasn't sure if mention_everyone could mention roles

[spring hare]

guild.me.guild_permissions.mention_everyone

[cinder pilot]

thank you

[spring hare]

I really hate it, but sometimes guild admins can randomly disable some perms
This is bad especially for perms like mention_everyone, because bot won't even get error when trying to mention

[wet coral]

but usually that happens when inviting the bot, right?

[spring hare]

You can just disable perms in roles menu

Or... Not give perms when inviting

[wet coral]

But isn't the role "managed by the bot"?

[spring hare]

You can't delete or take role, but can easily change perms

[wet coral]

oh alright, I thought you can't do anything with it xD

[spring hare]

Yup

[sage bear]

does anyone know how i would input the data that has been inputted into a modal into a database but the modal has been answered multiple times?

[fervent wing]

how can i get someones display name with the new user name system?

[young bone]

with the master branch

[spring hare]

wdym?

[young bone]

?tag pomelo

[obtuse junco]

Before Pomelo-

member.name          -> username
member.nick          -> guild nick name
member.display_name  -> member.nick OR member.name

After Pomelo-

member.name          -> username
member.global_name   -> global display name (global nick name)
member.nick          -> guild nick name
member.display_name  -> member.nick OR member.global_name OR member.name

[young bone]

@fervent wing

[prisma flicker]

How do you plan on inputting it if it was only answered once?

[sage bear]

i think ive found a way to do it. do you have any knowledge of databases?

[strange beacon]

Which Database?

[sage bear]

mysql

[strange beacon]

What are you wanting to know?

[sage bear]

okay so ive written this:

      con,cur = openCON()
      cur.execute(f"INSERT INTO details (userID) VALUES ('{interaction_1st.user.id}')")
      con.commit()
      closeCON(cur,con)```
however it doesnt insert anything

and i think thats why im getting an error later on

[prisma flicker]

Don't ever use f strings for sql

That's how you get sql injection attacks

[sage bear]

its not. a public bot

im just testing

[prisma flicker]

Still you should learn best practices

for your sql library, they'll show you the right way to do it

[sage bear]

ill stick with f strings for now

[strange beacon]

if you are building a f-string.. print it is it valid SQL

[sage bear]

it should work because ive used the exact same format before except this time its not inserting snything

[strange beacon]

should != is working

[sage bear]

wdym?

[strange beacon]

do you want to troublehsoot the issue, or believe something that is not working "Should" work

[sage bear]

oh wait

it is working, i was just looking in the wrong place

although

[strange beacon]

[sage bear]

i get an error later on mysql.connector.errors.ProgrammingError: 1064 (42000): You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'WHERE userID='1037772222145765406'' at line 1

                con,cur = openCON()
                sql = f"INSERT INTO details (order_details) VALUES (%s %s %s %s) WHERE userID='{interaction_4th.user.id}'"
                data = [q1, order1, q2, order2]
                cur.execute(sql, data)```

[strange beacon]

ID is an INT

[prisma flicker]

You're mixing %s with f strings? whyyyy 😭 just throw in one more %s

[sage bear]

it’s easier

[sage bear]

so how’d i eliminate the error?

[strange beacon]

in your DB schema is id an int or a string?

[sage bear]

i’ve got it as a BIGNIT

[strange beacon]

but you are comparing it to a string... which mysql wont do without you converting it...

[sage bear]

so it will have to be INT?

[strange beacon]

so leave it as int

[sage bear]

okay

but i get an sql error if i set it as INT

[strange beacon]

there is no need to set it to an int... the varable will be an int

[sage bear]

so what data type shall i set it as

[strange beacon]

try this: userID={interaction_4th.user.id}

[sage bear]

same error

[strange beacon]

print the completed f-string and test it in a mysql client so trouble shoot the query itself.. as this is not really a pycord issue

[topaz meteor]

how do i end a previous user interaction if the same user initiates the same new interaction by using the same slash command

[frigid crater]

Can anyone explain to me why a slashcommand within a "cog" works fine for one, but when I try and add a second it just doesn't populate, neither does my code seem to reach the breakpoint and for the life of me I can't find out why! I have code readily available to read. I'm tearing my hair out.

[prisma flicker]

are the methods for your slash commands the same name?

[frigid crater]

I literally copy and pasted my working slashcommand (with autocomplete) and changed the appropriate variables and function names and it doesn't work. Doesn't even breakpoint.

[frigid crater]

No

[prisma flicker]

can you share the code please

[frigid crater]

How would you like it shared?

DM it you?

[prisma flicker]

how long is it?

you can just send it here

[frigid crater]

https://pastebin.com/LgCKvJPU

[errant crane]

https://pastebin.com/raw/LgCKvJPU

[frigid crater]

the "unitget" command and its associated autocomplete works perfectly fine.

however the mapget command refuses to even populate the autocomplete field

[prisma flicker]

in mapget you take an argument gametype but your @option is named mapget

[frigid crater]

oh shit

when the command is called from the slash command

which name does it take the function name?

[prisma flicker]

the names just need to match

[frigid crater]

right OK

[prisma flicker]

for unitget they're both unit

[frigid crater]

completely overlooked it, you know when you spend so long looking at something

You sir are a legend.

[prisma flicker]

happy to help 🙂

[wet coral]

Can someone please explain to me this docstring of discord.Member.add_roles():

|coro|

Gives the member a number of Role\s.

You must have the ~Permissions.manage_roles permission to
use this, and the added Role\s must appear lower in the list of roles than the highest role of the member.

Given this role structure in my server:

• Admin
• Mod
• User
• something

Does that mean that if the user has only the User Role, I cannot add the Mod Role to them? That doesn't make any sense in my opinion but maybe I'm understanding it wrong...

||Oh and since when does discord format - as bullet points lol?||

[full basin]

the bots role must be higher than the users highest role

[wet coral]

yeah ok that's what I thought

[full basin]

its normal discord hierarchy, works the same way

[wet coral]

So the docstring is just a bit wrong
