I"m trying something very simple, I'm just having a discord bot echo certain messages in certain channels into one channel, but much like the person here: Discord does not embed link when sent by my bot My bot's messages aren't auto-embedding.
Here's a snippet of the code I'm using, I removed a bunch of the unrelated stuff in-between.
async def on_message(message):
if message.author == client.user:
return
if (message.channel.name != 'discussion'):
if message.channel.category != None:
print(f'Posting message in {message.channel.category.name} {message.channel.name} from {message.author.name} to {chnglogchannel.name}\n')
if message.content.startswith("```"):
await chnglogchannel.send("```From {0} in {1} {2}\n{3}```".format(message.author.name, message.channel.category.name, message.channel.name, (message.content).strip('`')))
else:
await chnglogchannel.send("```From {0} in {1} {2}\n{3}```".format(message.author.name, message.channel.category.name, message.channel.name, message.content))
else:
print(f'Posting message in {message.channel.name} from {message.author.name} to {chnglogchannel.name}\n')
if message.content.startswith("```"):
await chnglogchannel.send("```From {0} in {1}\n{2}```".format(message.author.name, message.channel.name, (message.content).strip('`')))
else:
await chnglogchannel.send("```From {0} in {1}\n{2}```".format(message.author.name, message.channel.name, message.content))
return
I thought maybe it was a channel permission issue, but the bot's role has full permissions to do everything in the channel it's echoing to.
Do I need to manually parse out http links and/or images/videos/etc? Or should Discord be treating the bot messages like any other users' messages?
Thanks for any help anyone can provide.
