I have recently noticed that some of my commands were not showing up in the help command list, I recently found out what was causing it. If you use a permissions number instead of its name, for example for a number "permLevel: 1" having it as a number makes the command not show up in help except the command still works fine... I fixed it by using the roles name, "permLevel: "User". Sorry if this is terribly explained...
P.S. I haven't tried much to fix this myself as it hasn't effected me to much.

This does not work on zeit.co docker NOW it chucks up a big number of errors. The website is https://zeit.co And I did it after installing discord.js

To be honest i don't know if the problem is with the command handler, but i tried to make one using the guide, but when i try to use the command "+ping" i don't get a response

This is the code for the index.js

const fs = require('fs');
const Discord = require('discord.js');
const Enmap = require('enmap');
const client = new Discord.Client();
const config = require('./config.json');

client.config = config;

fs.readdir("./events/", (err, files) =>{
  if(err)return console.error(err);
  files.forEach(file => {
    const event = require(`./events/${file}`);
    let eventName = file.split(".")[0];
    console.log(`Loading: ${eventName}`);
    client.on(eventName, event.bind(null, client));
  });
});

client.commands = new Enmap();

fs.readdir("./commands/", (err, files)=>{
  if (err) return console.error(err);
  files.forEach(file=>{
    if(!file.endsWith(".js")) return;
    let props = require(`./commands/${file}`);
    let commandName = file.split(".")[0];
    console.log(`Loading ${commandName}`);
    client.commands.set(commandName, props);
  });
});

This is the code for ping.js

exports.run = (client,message,args)=>{
    message.channel.send("Ping").catch(console.error);
};

This is the code for the messages.js

module.exports = (client, message) => {
   
    if (message.author.bot)return;
    
    if(message.content.indexOf(client.config.prefix)!==0)return;

    const args = message.content.slice(client.config.prefix.length).trim().split(/ +/g);
    const command = args.shift().toLowerCase();

    const cmd = client.commands.get(command);
    console.log("yes");
    if(!cmd) return;

    cmd.run(client,message,args);
    
};

So when I change a command setting to enabled: true to enabled: false, I still can use the command. Or do I bypass it since I am the owner?

2. What does GuildOnly mean?

Sorry for the trouble. I am new to having all these new features in command handlers.

Hello,
Is the transition to discord.js version 12 planned ?
We're starting to hear about it, but the changes seem significant...

Thank you !

hi there, i have just got your bot and i get this error in the console:
ERROR Unhandled rejection: TypeError: event.bind is not a function
can anyone help.

Currently if the output of the eval command is greater than the Discord message limit, the command errors and does not send any kind of message. If the output of the eval command is longer than the Discord message limit, the output should be logged elsewhere (maybe to console?) and a message should be sent letting the user know.

I get this error

I want to create a staff role that is level 1. Right above User. I tried doing this twice and it didn't work. I tried editing the config.js file to this and it didn't work. I made a new bot, edited the config.js file to the same code, before using the conf command, and it did not work.

Could I get some assistance to how to add a new role and permission? Thanks in advance.

https://github.com/An-Idiots-Guide/guidebot/blob/aea9b10cb53959748a763a530dc6b4595b950d2d/index.js#L46

shouldn't it be:
if (message.author.id === this.config.ownerID) return 10; ?

I created a discord.js bot link is below
https://github.com/RootAndroid58/Azooid-bot
how can i import this web dashboard to my bot ?
copied dashboard folder and dashboard.js file how do i link it to my discord.js bot?

https://github.com/An-Idiots-Guide/guidebot/blob/6a5e324be2817ceca8f56470d4a4db938a67e62c/commands/help.js#L9

switch with:

const sorted = myCommands.sort((p, c) => p.help.category > c.help.category
  ? 1 :  p.help.name > c.help.name && p.help.category === c.help.category
    ? 1 : -1
);

After upgrading and migrating to enmap v4 using the latest commits, I noticed I couldn't DM the bot anymore.

TypeError: Cannot read property 'id' of null at module.exports (/var/nodejs/guidebot/events/message.js:12:72) at emitOne (events.js:116:13) at Client.emit (events.js:211:7) at MessageCreateHandler.handle (/var/nodejs/guidebot/node_modules/discord.js/src/client/websocket/packets/handlers/MessageCreate.js:9:34) at WebSocketPacketManager.handle (/var/nodejs/guidebot/node_modules/discord.js/src/client/websocket/packets/WebSocketPacketManager.js:103:65) at WebSocketConnection.onPacket (/var/nodejs/guidebot/node_modules/discord.js/src/client/websocket/WebSocketConnection.js:333:35) at WebSocketConnection.onMessage (/var/nodejs/guidebot/node_modules/discord.js/src/client/websocket/WebSocketConnection.js:296:17) at WebSocket.onMessage (/var/nodejs/guidebot/node_modules/ws/lib/event-target.js:120:16) at emitOne (events.js:116:13) at WebSocket.emit (events.js:211:7)

This led me to message.js. message.guild.id was null, obviously since it was a DM.
const settings = message.settings = client.getSettings(message.guild.id);

It might not be the prettiest solution, and I'm totally not ruling out something wrong on my end, but this worked for me.
const settings = message.settings = client.getSettings(message.guild ? message.guild.id : "");

It's most likely expired, but following this link as is shown in the guidebook and in the contributing guidelines brings you to an invalid invite.

Edit: The link that's at the header of the guidebook, does in fact work.

I got a settings suggestion, maybe make a setting to be able to hide a command from the help menu. I could use it to hide owner commands, again members can't use it, but it would be more tidy if we could just hide commands from the help menu, because they just kind of take up space.

First section in README.md contains a broken link to the repository which seems either has been removed or set to private.

This command handler is 98% compatible with my selfbot

I'm not real clued in on the whole github thing, but post install configuration fails because in line 5 of setup.js it has:

let baseConfig = fs.readFileSync("./util/setup_base.txt", "utf8");

but it should be:

let baseConfig = fs.readFileSync("./installer/setup_base.txt", "utf8");

hey, so I've got everything installed from the requirements and when I try to start the bot I get this how could I fix this?

Always i get some error when i try to interact with my bot, i haven't change a thing of the code apart from this one:
events/message.js
const settings = client.config.defaultSettings;
because withput that change i can't get the bot responde a thing :(

Navbar does not open on mobile.

Whats the difference between this and https://github.com/AnIdiotsGuide/guidebot-class

Seems here 😛 Opps.

In line 24 of set.js:
if (!value) seems to be always false as u can parse "nothing".
After parsing "nothing" you can not change it back via "set edit key value" as the empty key can not be found by: if (!settings[key])

My solution for now:
if (!value && value == "")

This is not an issue but a question. I want to know how I can create more settings.

prefix, modLogChannel,modRole, adminRole, systemNotice, welcomeChannel, welcomeMessage, welcomeEnabled

These are the default settings for guilds. I want to add more settings. How can I do that?

I tried adding those settings in defaultSettings in setup.js file. But that didn't work.

Thanks in advance!

PS: The Discord Invite link in the repo's CONTRIBUTING.md is invalid. This made me open an issue.

So I put my id in ownerID but when I try to use an owner command it tells me
You do not have permission to use this command.
Your permission level is 0 (User)
This command requires level 10 (Bot Owner)
Any Ideas?

I noticed there is no message when you use command that doesn't exist (or misspell one that does), and I think it should be included by default. I know how to do this and would like to contribute to this project, what do you think?

There is no way to make a command for DM, even if "guildOnly: false". In the console nothing shows up.
if(message.channel.type == "dm") { console.log("Dm is working") }

This is here just for foramlity's sake. The idea has been discussed in the Discord server.

STEPS:

• Base system
• A way to manage nodes
• A way to manage users into nodes

This suggestion is on hold

I got some error in setup.js, how to fix it?

Expected behavior
When running the eval command, the output replied by the bot censors every instance of the bot token.

Actual behavior
Only the first instance is censored.

Reproducing

!eval `${client.token} ${client.token}`

Not sure what the issue is but i am running the exact help.js that is from here and i am getting this error.

if anyone could help me with this please

Node version: 11.7.0

I'm running a webhook and bot merged together, so only passing commands with prefix through the message listener is not the best option for. Editing the message.js is not the best way to achieve those different type of listeners, so the optimal way would be to have 2 message.js, one for the webhook and one for the commands with prefix.

Is there any way to do this, with the module setup?

Since moving to the new friendly permission levels, when you DM the bot a command it crashes with the following error

@eslachance
Steps to reproduce:

1. Download latest code and run it
2. DM the bot a command.

This also applies to the class-based branch.

I cloned the github, downloaded everything required, yet im still faced with this error code (see attachement below)

The v11 wont work after 7 days. Please update to v12.

Hi, I tried to login to the dashboard on localhost and when I authorized my application for oauth (i had the local host url included in the oauth section of the app) and I received an error on the /callback page and when I try to manually authorize it from the developers page and login through there it says UNKNOWN_ERROR. Am I able to get help on this???

Hi there! How do I fetch/grab a mentioned / otherwise selected (other than the message author) user's level? I'm trying to make a dynamic whois command that shows something different for level 8,9,10 users.
Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Similar issue to #64 where I am getting the following error when a user responds to a DM sent by the bot:

Uncaught Promise Error: TypeError: Cannot read property 'me' of undefined at module.exports.run (C:\Users\MarcT\WebstormProjects\Discord-Bot\events\message.js:17:55) at Bot.client.on.args (C:\Users\MarcT\WebstormProjects\Discord-Bot\index.js:191:45) at Bot.emit (events.js:159:13) at MessageCreateHandler.handle (C:\Users\MarcT\WebstormProjects\Discord-Bot\node_modules\discord.js\src\client\websocket\ packets\handlers\MessageCreate.js:9:34) at WebSocketPacketManager.handle (C:\Users\MarcT\WebstormProjects\Discord-Bot\node_modules\discord.js\src\client\websocke t\packets\WebSocketPacketManager.js:103:65) at WebSocketConnection.onPacket (C:\Users\MarcT\WebstormProjects\Discord-Bot\node_modules\discord.js\src\client\websocket \WebSocketConnection.js:333:35) at WebSocketConnection.onMessage (C:\Users\MarcT\WebstormProjects\Discord-Bot\node_modules\discord.js\src\client\websocke t\WebSocketConnection.js:296:17) at WebSocket.onMessage (C:\Users\MarcT\WebstormProjects\Discord-Bot\node_modules\ws\lib\event-target.js:120:16) at WebSocket.emit (events.js:159:13) at Receiver._receiver.onmessage (C:\Users\MarcT\WebstormProjects\Discord-Bot\node_modules\ws\lib\websocket.js:137:47)

Which refers to the following:
// Cancel any attempt to execute commands if the bot cannot respond to the user. if (!message.channel.permissionsFor(message.guild.me).missing("SEND_MESSAGES")) return;
If I step pass this by commenting it out, the bot is then left in a state where it is unable to respond to the user, leaving no error behind either.

Multi language support, and change the using discord.js from v11 to v12.

So the bot's been running fine for awhile, then i used the help command and everything stopped working.. any ideas?

Hey!

So, there are the perm levels, as defined in config.js, right? What if there were perm levels that checked for individual permissions? I know this can be done with code in the command itself, but what I'm looking for is a command that will run based on if they have a certain permission as defined in the exports.conf section. I made a makeshift example that doesn't actually work.. sort of. It works in that it doesn't show up in the help command if the user doesn't have the permission defined, but it doesnt work in that the command will still be run even if the user doesn't have the permission. Here's the code:

File: config.js

    // This level is actually a permission checking level. Use this for when you want to 
    // check if the user has a certain permission
    { level: 1,
      name: `Permission Check`,
      check: (message, cmd) => {
        try {
          if(message.member.permissions.has(cmd.conf.requires)) return true;
        } catch (e) {
          return false;
        }
      }
    },

File: addemote.js

module.exports.run = (client, message, args) => {
  var emojiName = args[0];
  var emojiURL = args[1];

  if (!emojiName) return message.channel.send(`:x: You forgot the emoji name!`);
  if (!emojiURL) return message.channel.send(`:x: You forgot the emoji url!`);

  message.guild.createEmoji(emojiURL, emojiName, null, `${message.author.tag} created emoji ${emojiName}`)
    .then(emote => {
      message.channel.send(`:white_check_mark: Emote **\`${emote.name}\`** ${emote} created!`);
    })
    .catch((err) => {message.channel.send(`:x: Something went wrong:\n${err}`);});
};

exports.conf = {
  enabled: true,
  guildOnly: true,
  aliases: [`ae`, `addemoji`, `createemoji`, `createemote`],
  permLevel: `Permission Check`,
  requires: `MANAGE_EMOJIS`
};

exports.help = {
  name: `addemote`,
  description: `Adds an emoji to the server`,
  usage: `addemote <name> <url>`,
  category: `Server`
};

When I try to use the say command the console returns this error:
(node:10380) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Unhandled promise rejection (rejection id: 2): DiscordAPIError: Cannot send an empty message
(node:10380) [DEP0018] DeprecationWarning: Unhandled promise rejections are deprecated. In the future, promise rejections that are not handled will terminate the Node.js process with a non-zero exit code.

even when I writte something for the bot to copy
