        "send_direct_message_by_user_id": "1/s"
        }

Reaction Roles

❗❗❗ This will bypass the Group Leadership/Join Request System: This is intended for open groups but not limited to it! ❗❗❗

The bot is able to run a reaction roles system that is compatible with auth and public users on a discord.

• If a member is part of auth it will do auth syncing of roles
• If a member is not found in auth and the reaction role message has the public flag set it will assign roles to anyone who reacts

How To Reaction Role

1. Setup the inital Message you wish to use buy using the command !rr

   • Optional Edit the name and settings of this message in Admin > Discord Bot > Reaction Role Messages

2. React to the message with the reactions you wish to use.

3. The bot will counter react to the reactions when it creates the binding in auth.

4. Goto Admin > Discord Bot > Reaction Role Bindings

5. Assign the groups you want for each reaction

Integrations

• Statistics
  • Adds zkill Monthly/Yearly stats to !lookup
• timezones
  • Updates the time command to have all timezones configured in auth.

Welcome Messaages

` With the WelcomeGoodbye Cog activated, Discordbot will grab a random message from the Welcome or Goodbye Message Model and send it to the Guild System channel

These can be configured in admin under /admin/aadiscordbot/welcomemessage/ and /admin/aadiscordbot/goodbyemessage/

The messages support some string formatting

• `{user_mention} - A Discord @ Mention
• `{guild_name} - The name of the Discord Server
• `{auth_url} - A link to Auth

Welcome {user_mention} to {guild_name}, I hope you enjoy your stay.

You can Authenticate for more access {auth_url}

Private Thread Ticket System

❗❗❗ While this is fully functional, this is still in early stages of development, Please report any issues you find! ❗❗❗

With the aadiscordbot.cogs.tickets Cog activated, users will be able to issue the /help command to pick a group to get help from.

The groups available for selection are configurable in the site admin under Discord Bot > Ticket Cog Configuration

You also need to choose a channel to create the threads in from the site admin Discord Bot > Ticket Cog Configuration:

• Anyone who can use the /help command must have View and Send Message permissions on this channel otherwise they will not be able to see the tickets authbot creates for them
• Authbot must have the permissions to create private threads in this channel
• Authbot must have the permissions to send messages to this channel

Using AA-Discordbot from my project

Send Messages

You can use the send_message helper to send a message with text/embed to:

• Discord user_id
• Discord channel_id
• Auth User Model Object
• Auth user_pk

aadiscordbot/tasks.py

Example Usage

from django.contrib.auth.models import User
from django.apps import apps

## Use a small helper to check if AA-Discordbot is installs
def discord_bot_active():
    return apps.is_installed('aadiscordbot')

## Only import it, if it is installed
if discord_bot_active():
    from aadiscordbot.tasks import send_message
    # if you want to send discord embed import them too.
    from discord import Embed, Color

## this helper can be called to Queue up a Message
## AA Should not act on these, only AA-DiscordBot will consume them
if discord_bot_active():
    usr = User.objects.get(pk=1)

    # discord ID of user
    msg = "Channel ID Tests"
    e = Embed(title="Channel ID Tests!",
              description="This is a Test Embed.\n\n```Discord Channel ID```",
              color=Color.yellow())
    e.add_field(name="Test Field 1", value="Value of some kind goes here")
    send_message(channel_id=639252062818926642, embed=e) # Embed
    send_message(channel_id=639252062818926642, message=msg) # Message

    send_message(user_id=318309023478972417, message=msg, embed=e) # Both

    # User model
    msg = "Auth User Model Tests"
    e = Embed(title="Auth User Model Tests!",
              description="This is a Test Embed.\n\n```Auth User Model```",
              color=Color.dark_orange())
    e.add_field(name="Test Field 1", value="Value of some kind goes here")
    send_message(user=usr, embed=e) # Embed
    send_message(user=usr, message=msg) # Message
    send_message(user=usr, message=msg, embed=e) # Both

    # User PK id
    msg = "Auth User PK Tests"
    e = Embed(title="Auth User PK Tests!",
              description="This is a Test Embed.\n\n```Auth User PK```",
              color=Color.brand_green())
    e.add_field(name="Test Field 1", value="Value of some kind goes here")
    send_message(user_pk=1, embed=e) # Embed
    send_message(user_pk=1, message=msg) # Message
    send_message(user_pk=1, message=msg, embed=e) # Both

    # Mixture of all of the above
    msg = "All Together Tests"
    e = Embed(title="All Together Tests!",
              description="This is a Test Embed.\n\n```All Together```",
              color=Color.blurple())
    e.add_field(name="Test Field 1", value="Value of some kind goes here")
    send_message(channel_id=639252062818926642,
                user_id=318309023478972417,

                message=msg,
                embed=e)

Registering 3rd Party Cogs (Handling Commands)

In auth_hooks.py, define a function that returns an array of cog modules, and register it as a discord_cogs_hook:

@hooks.register('discord_cogs_hook')
def register_cogs():
    return ["yourapp.cogs.cog_a", "yourapp.cogs.cog_b"]

Optional Settings continued

Isolate AuthBot from Auth's Discord Service

AUTHBOT_DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN = 'Token for dedicated bot'

Troubleshooting

Py-Cord and discord.py fighting in venv

Problem:

Something has gone funny with my venv after i installed another app that wanted discord.py

Reason:

This is due to the Py-cord lib sharing the discord namespace. Py-Cord is however a drop in replacement. So no issues should arise from using it over the now legacy discord.py lib. YMMV

Fix:

1. Uninstall discord.py by running pip uninstall discord.py with your venv active.
2. Reinstall py-cord by running pip install -U py-cord==2.0.0b3 with your venv active.
3. Approach the dev from the app that overrode your py-cord to update to a maintained lib.
