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.

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

[~] » 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.

@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

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

(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.
