Add custom status

[ilsubyeega]

Since I could not find about when a guild member changed custom status on Change Log.

[SIGSTACKFAULT]

It seems to be in the (undocumented) /users/@me/settings endpoint.

Correction: that endpoint causes persistence into the next session, but not the current one. there's a gateway thing to do too.

[infi]

Blocked before being processed with a bot account. This documentation only documents bot endpoints, so far.

[SIGSTACKFAULT]

[~] » curl 'https://discordapp.com/api/v6/users/@me/settings' -H "Authorization: Bot $token"
{"message": "Bots cannot use this endpoint", "code": 20001}

Custom statuses are activities with a type of 4, a name of Custom Status, the actual custom status in the state field, and a new emoji field for the main emoji. Bots aren't blocked from doing this, but... well, read the docs: https://discordapp.com/developers/docs/topics/gateway#activity-object.

Bots are only able to send name, type, and optionally url.

As bots cannot send states or emojis, they can't make effective use of custom statuses. The header for a "Custom Status" shows up on their profile, but there is no actual custom status, because those fields are ignored.

Feel free to add docs for custom emoji (the emoji struct + new type) in the activities docs.

As for bot support for custom status. It should be trivial for us to add and I'll loop back the product team into adding it.

[SIGSTACKFAULT]

@jhgg what file does that go in? I'm a bit lost.

[VisualEhrmanntraut]

@SIGSTACKFAULT there's a PR open already for custom status, #1162

[Zoddo]

@jhgg Any news from the product team? ;)

[evnsh]

Still nothing after nearly a month any news on that?

[oldunresisting]

Hopefully soon!

[ghost]

cant wait.

[evnsh]

Still no news from the product team? @jhgg

[ItsFlare]

Sad story...

[aozkinay]

Is it possible to hide a user's status in the members list?

[jan-tennert]

Would be cool if there is a server side custom status like nicknames

[ilsubyeega]

@jhgg any news?

[Taarek]

I think it's pretty unnecessary to mention him multiple times, he'll let us know once he has an update for us. patience

I know I'm just adding onto the storm that is requests for Custom Statuses to be added for bots, but...

For F-s sake Discord just add it already.

We are all waiting to use it.

🤔 Patience is a virtue

[sparkaccounts]

I mean, it's been 5, almost 6 months now... They should add it by now.

[castdrian]

at least an ETA or any reply at all would help.

[sadmuphin]

I can wait longer

[broman]

You’d think people would take the hint of a FR being silently closed a week after it’s opened. I think it’s not gonna happen

[MidSpike]

Developers want Custom Statuses for Bots. Plain and simple. We are tired of being patient.

[xJade00]

I know lots of developers who would much prefer things like knowing who banned a user from the gateway. We'd also like the search endpoint. And buttons for embeds. You can do most things as a custom status already. It's a QOL feature that really should be low on the totem pole. You can be patient and wait longer. Everyone else is.

[broman]

Aesthetic features should take lower priority to the functional features people want.

Not to mention everybody is WFH amidst the COVID-19 crisis. You should be patient now more then ever instead of hounding them for new stuff.

[Mee42]

I think most developers just want someone from discord to say something about the current status of this feature. The last time that happened was October.

[passcod]

Let's please remember that the discord staff are also developers, who have to cater to the needs of hundreds of millions of users through a frigging pandemic. Think about that scale. Also, every time one of you whines about this, we all get an email about it. I'd much rather get an email telling me about progress on this, which is the reason I and most other people here subscribed in the first place, so cease the needlessly hostile bullshit so we can all go back to staring at the wall during lockdown instead of reading your crap. Or if you must, make it entertaining at least.

[Celtiaa]

@passcod Let's please remember that this issue was closed 5 months ago, and you will never get an email informing you about any progress :)

Here's an update from Jake

[broman]

[evnsh]

Can we just stop shitposting in here? Most of us have notifications on and it's certainly not to receive crying baby images or random people complaining about features Discord adds, there's a feedback page for this, which is a way better way to give your input than commenting on a closed issue.

[KokoseiJ]

If we can't still use those fields yet, Wouldn't it be better to reopen this issue?

[PixelHir]

H-Hello? Shouldn't this be open?

[invalidCards]

This repo is for the API docs, and not for actual changes to the API. As the API behaviour has been documented, this issue is correctly closed.

[advaith1]

No, this repo is also for API bugs and feature requests

[ghost]

While this repo does also handle feature requests, this issue shouldn't be open as it's not a feature request but a documentation request.

There's a few other (closed) issues that would meet the standards for being an open feature request, but it seems they have all been closed by the OPs.

[advaith1]

night closed #1801 as a duplicate of this issue

[yungcomputerchair]

Is this still a planned feature? This issue is over a year old now...

[KingSupernova31]

I too would be interested in this feature.

[ghost]

Its over two years now

[boroworx]

We're still waiting for this...

(referring to this particular comment above) Guys, stop bumping this issue thread it's just making this re-appear as a new notification for everyone else watching. Things like these take time, considering the priorities of the developers and scale of the API it will most likely be a while before such a feature could possibly be added. I too am waiting but I respect the devs taking their time to focus on other things first.

[fjeddy]

The issue is closed, there is no point in posting here at all. It's CLOSED, meaning, it's no one looking at it, or an identical existing issue exists.

Besides; it's quite normal to "bump" issues saying you want a feature, it's one of the ways devs know what feature to prioritize. But bumping a closed issue will do nothing.

[TheYoungSeth]

bro I am amazed at how long and how old this thread is and no one at discords dev team added this feature lmao
