Easy to use self-hosted reaction role Discord bot written in Python.
License: MIT License
Heya, I'm Eibe, a geek and tech passionate that enjoys programming as a hobby. Even though I'm usually extremely busy with work, I try to keep improving my programming skills and contribute to the open-source projects I use. I enjoy self-hosting things on VPS and home servers.
When I'm not busy with work, or when I feel like destroying my sleep schedule, I work on Reaction Light.
Could be useful if certain roles need to be mutually exclusive and admins want to enforce this.
If the user already selected a reaction, but then selects another, the bot should remove their old reaction (and role) while adding their new role.
Describe the bug
Unable to start the bot. ( I tried with 2 machines with fresh installations of the bot)
To Reproduce
Just try to run the bot with python3 bot.py
Expected behavior
Starting....
Screenshots
Server:
Traceback
File "<fstring>", line 1
((await getchannel(system_channel)).mention if system_channel else 'none')
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
this happened when I typed "pip install dotenv" in shell (I use replit) I'm using my phone (Vivo 1604)
Please help me if you know whats wrong :)
The bot can only use unicode emojis or reactions uploaded to the server it is being used on. If nitro users try to use reactions from other servers the bot should refuse to use them and warn the user instead of just returning errors after the creation process.
Nice to have.
My bot isn't adding reactions.
So i tried to make a reaction message today and it all worked except when the bot tried to add the reactions, it had enough permissions to do so, its just the fact it outputted this error:

It would mean a lot of you could help, thank you!
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I don't like the idea of manually adding more admins or using 0s in case you need less than 3.
It would be possible to have a single admin var in config.ini that is equal to all the admin role IDs separated by a comma.
configparser is not capable of reading lists from a var, but it is possible to use .split(",") on the string.
Then we could just make isadmin() check whether the ID is in the list or not.
Describe the solution you'd like
The real issue is making the bot update the old config.ini to the new one automagically so that hosters do not need to manually change the config file so that it matches the new Python file.
Describe alternatives you've considered
So far my ideas are:
bot.py. This could be used for this update and future ones, but if a user skips two "migrations" I would imagine the bot could break.rl!update without reading the changelog though).config.ini. This won't work if systemchannel is not set though.I will try to think of more ways to handle this, but if anyone has ideas please feel free to share them.
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
An user will not see the change when an new role is added and new category will appear because many servers are too "large" (infinete scroll).
Describe the solution you'd like
An private message when the user choose one of roles with an custom message.
Ex. You have an new role added: @name, and new category access you can visit it here: #the-new-category
I don't have.
A clear and concise description of any alternative solutions or features you've considered.
None.
Is there an easy way to allow the bot to give multiple roles for each reaction?
I will try to explain the reason for this;
By default a Discord server allows each user to all categories and channels. Perhaps there is too many, so they allow users to react for roles that hide categories/channels. Which is a better method than reacting to see them.
For these roles that hide (or restrict) access to categories/channels, there could be numerous of them. To keep these roles organized, there is 1 main role above all these roles, like a header. For example it might be called ----HIDDEN---- and every role below this header means that role is hiding/restricting view permissions for the corresponding category/channel.
There is also an issue I can see with this- when users un-react to get access back to categ/chan the bot doesn't know better to not take away this header (---HIDDEN---) role. So it would need to know not to touch that header role unless all reactions from the user have been removed/un-reacted.
Hope this makes sense.
One might say "Why not just give that role on join?" which is a fair point. But heres 2 reasons- the first being your bot that gives auto role on join might only be capable of giving 1 role. The other reason is that the whole point of these roles are for channel organization, so users having the header (---HIDDEN---) role without having any roles under it, would look out of place.
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Not related to a problem.
Describe the solution you'd like
When users click on a reaction, they lose a role, instead of getting it assigned. unclicking regains them the role.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Haven't been able to come up with any.
Slash commands removed the ability to write messages with new lines in them while editing an existing message.
Functionality could be restored possibly by:
$newline$) -> I don't like thismessage or description parameters and having the bot wait_for the contents in a follow up message (or messages if both "special" params are used)Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
- (See Describe the solution you'd like)
Describe the solution you'd like
I'd like to be able to use other users messages e.g. users or other bots messages as reaction messages instead of only being able to use the bots own messages as "role switchers". The use case for this is when you for example have multiple rule messages but only need reaction capability on one of them.
The solution I'm thinking is by adding an option in the RL creation process to use a existing message or create one using the bot.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Creating reaction light messages that have no emoji/role combinations attached to them. I've decided against using this due to the unnecessary DB-entries. I've also considered to just add a entry to the database manually but thought others might have the same use case.
Additional context
I can help implement it, just want to see it is something that is seem fit inside the scope of the project.
Describe the bug
The DB does not clean admin roles, message IDs and related reactions/roles if a server does not exist anymore.
To Reproduce
Expected behavior
The DB cleans itself
Describe the bug
I was running this on my server, it was going smooth until I noticed this error in code.
I would not like trespass here but to contribute, I would like to make the small change needed :)
Make it hosted on heroku because it is a little tricky to set up
This could be done by creating a command to delete the reaction role messages (and therefore its db entries) or by periodically checking which messages still exist.
Probably best to stick with the first option.
Depends on #17 being fixed.
Allow already existing admins to add new admin roles with a command and update the config.ini accordingly.
It should be able to accept role mentions and integer IDs alike. The need for integer IDs in this command is to add admin roles from a different server if necessary.
Describe the bug
Bot doesnt start after update
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
python3 bot.py
Expected behavior
Bot Starts.

The bot response message can be set as an additional configuration file
Does it make it easier for users to perform localization work?
Currently, once the setup of a new embed is started it must be completed or the bot must be shutdown.
Basically I want to know how to auto-delete the first role I config for the new members (In this case: "No-Verified") , I want when they just react with the emoji to the "Verified" role, the "No-Verified" role go away, can this be possible? I don't know how, thanks you so much.

Is there a chance to upgrade to discord.py 1.5.0
In version 1.3.4 it is ok
Server:
Traceback

This will mean that upgrading from v0.x.x will stop working in newer versions
How would we clone the repository? Using git clone https://github.com/eibex/reaction-light.git
In light of discord.py discontinuation, it will be necessary to rewrite the bot in a new language or library that supports slash commands.
As mentioned in #59 (comment) there are a few discord.py forks that support slash commands. If none seem suitable and stable the rewrite target language will be Rust with the Serenity library.
I am not a Rust developer, it will therefore take time for me to learn the language and migrate the code.
I just installed the bot
added with the new command my first reactions
at the point use existing text or make new one
i choose the icon to use and existing, believing there is some default
now i cant proceed further, so i restarted the bot and tried the edit command
i have to enter a channel and always get the information
There are no reaction-role messages in that channel.
Refactor message.py:
/message new (better code and no more usage of //)edit, reaction, and new (e.g. preparation of embeds to send)Bot deletes Reactionroles though the messages still exist
What happens is, that the bot starts deleting stored Reactionroles for messages that still exists, with the reason, that the message got deleted. In fact, the message didnt get deleted. Its still existing.
To Reproduce
This happened to me when restarting the bot multiple times, each restart made it delete 1 reactionrole. This happened locally, but when running on my Windows VPS 2019, it just did the same thing without any restarts.
Expected behavior
The Bot will delete the Rectionrole

None

Pls help me
I have never used disnake, but i have used discord.py and dislash.py
Using a command such as rl!update could trigger a git pull and restart the bot.
#10 needs to be implemented before this is feasible.
Would make updating less tedious. I guess the bot would need to run as a subprocess of another Python file.
I have this error: invalid Syntax
Describe the bug
On Windows systems the bot does not work because:
encoding=“utf-8“ to handle emojislineterminator must be set to ”” to avoid blank rows between each row in CSVsHowever, different methods to ensure cross-platform compatibility are necessary. Especially GNU/Linux compatibility must be maintained, since most bots are run on small VPS (ie GNU/Linux based).
To Reproduce
Run the bot on a non-unix system.
Expected behavior
Same behaviour as on other platforms.
With commit 4830607 it is no longer necessary to use channel IDs, making the bot much more straightforward to use.
However, the edit command still relies on the message ID to fetch the embed that needs to be modified.
A possible solution is not to ask for the message ID, and have the bot reply with a numbered list of messages (maybe including just the title?) and the user simply needs to input the number to select the message to be edited. If there is only one reaction role embed in that channel, then this process could be probably skipped and select the only existing embed automatically.
Move config.ini to files/config/config.ini and create a dockerfile to deploy the bot.
Have the whole files directory persistent.
config.ini.sample needs to be moved too. The sample is moved with git pull, while the original file needs to be moved with a script (probably make use of cogs.utils.schema).
Describe the bug
randomly getting this error but bot still working, i guess just one time bot stopped working when i get this error.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Botcolor is currently hardcoded in bot.py.
Describe the solution you'd like
It should be configurable in config.ini and updatable via a command.
Discussion
Converting the string into an integer and then a hex. This can be done by using, for example, hex(int("0xFFFFFF", 16)). However, a method to translate inputs such as "white" into their hex counterpart would improve UX considerably. This could be achieved with a dict, but I'm afraid it would make the code even worse than it is now (#13).
If you have any ideas to share please do.
As mentioned in #27, the core.database method to assign a reaction role id needs a rework, along with possibly a change in the DB tables. A migration script would most likely be necessary in that case.
Allow to set a system channel for each guild (server) the bot is being used in for messages related to commands or errors arising from reaction-role messages hosted in a channel from a certain guild.
The config.ini system channel should be used as a fallback when not set.
My current idea entails:
guild_id column to the messages database table
systemchannels database table with columns: guild_id and channelsystem_notification function (currently in bot.py) to check if a system channel is set for a guild that was the source of a notificationEven though the bot works flawlessly in its current state (except for the currently open enhancement-related issues), the code could use a lot of improvements.
Refactoring with better functions, classes, cogs, and general usage of discord.py is ideal.
We could also consider using SQLite instead of CSV files. Though this will add an extra dependency to the bot (and a complete remake of the bot's file manager (rlightfm)).
EDIT: Additionally, another hurdle of adopting SQLite is creating a script to transfer the data of CSV files in currently existing installations to the database so to minimise downtime to a simple bot restart.
EDIT: Striked parts done in #20
Describe the problem you are running into
Mentioning the channel where I want to create the new reaction message causes several warning and an the attribute error to appear.

bot_permissions = await getchannel(target_channel).permissions_for(
AttributeError: 'coroutine' object has no attribute 'permissions_for'
The current rl!systemchannel response when no arguments are passed should be improved:
Add two lines mentioning the current main and server channel (the server channel of the guild the message was sent in)
Better explain the difference between the main and server channels
Move non __init__ functions from bot.py to utils.
This also means updating the function references inside all cogs.
Just a way to add thumbnail (with url image)
Refactor error reporting in all files so that every db interaction is not followed by isinstance to check for exceptions
Describe the bug
Bot no longer starts after the latest update.
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
update to the current build and attempt to run the bot.
eg.
after updating open terminal and type:
