ChannelType.GuildCategory

Category channels can hold up to 50 channels; but what happens when you try to add an additional? I'm working on a discord bot for that creates a text channel under a parent category channel whenever someone submits a recruitment form. I'm just curious what happens if the category hits that 50 entity cap.

- What's your exact discord.js npm list discord.js and node node -v version? - Not a discord.js issue? Check out #other-js-ts. - Consider reading #how-to-get-help to improve your question! - Explain what exactly your issue is. - Post the full error stack trace, not just the top part! - Show your code! - Issue solved?

You’ll prob get an api error

so it's probably a good choice to check if it's full first, and maybe archive older text channels under the category

Why not just use threads?

HelixOP•2y ago

does threads support embeds? I know stupid question, but I don't remember seeing an embed inside a thread

Inky•2y ago

Yes

HelixOP•2y ago

embeds is how I'm showing the form output ah okay, yea that's definitely a better choice then I guess one additional question, can you add permissions per thread for user/roles like any other channel with the text channel I'm just doing this:

let permissionOverwrites = [
    {
      id: everyoneRole.id,
      type: OverwriteType.Role,
      deny: [PermissionFlagsBits.ViewChannel],
    },
    {
      id: account.providerAccountId,
      type: OverwriteType.Member,
      allow: [
        PermissionFlagsBits.ViewChannel,
        PermissionFlagsBits.SendMessages,
      ],
    },
  ];

  if (guildRoles?.length) {
    const gr = guildRoles.map((role) => {
      return {
        id: role.roleId,
        type: OverwriteType.Role,
        allow: [
          PermissionFlagsBits.ViewChannel,
          PermissionFlagsBits.ManageChannels,
          PermissionFlagsBits.SendMessages,
        ],
      };
    });
    permissionOverwrites = [...permissionOverwrites, ...gr];
  }

  const textChannel = <TextChannel>await guild.channels.create({
    type: ChannelType.GuildText,
    name: title,
    parent: channel.id,
    permissionOverwrites,
  });

let permissionOverwrites = [
    {
      id: everyoneRole.id,
      type: OverwriteType.Role,
      deny: [PermissionFlagsBits.ViewChannel],
    },
    {
      id: account.providerAccountId,
      type: OverwriteType.Member,
      allow: [
        PermissionFlagsBits.ViewChannel,
        PermissionFlagsBits.SendMessages,
      ],
    },
  ];

  if (guildRoles?.length) {
    const gr = guildRoles.map((role) => {
      return {
        id: role.roleId,
        type: OverwriteType.Role,
        allow: [
          PermissionFlagsBits.ViewChannel,
          PermissionFlagsBits.ManageChannels,
          PermissionFlagsBits.SendMessages,
        ],
      };
    });
    permissionOverwrites = [...permissionOverwrites, ...gr];
  }

  const textChannel = <TextChannel>await guild.channels.create({
    type: ChannelType.GuildText,
    name: title,
    parent: channel.id,
    permissionOverwrites,
  });

Not rly You can ping members and roles (if there aren’t too many members in it) into threads to give them rw access

HelixOP•2y ago

ah, okay. I'm reading the docs and it seems like I;d ahve to add each member individually if the thread is private

Inky•2y ago

You can mention roles in the thread if there’s less than 100 members that have it

HelixOP•2y ago

gotcha, thank you.
