This feature allows you to set up a variety of "tags" that users can list and use to output pre-determined strings of text. This is useful for creating public FAQ responses without making a bunch of Auto Responders. Also, you can configure tags to be modified by different permission levels, unlike Custom Commands which can only be modified by server admins. The different permission tiers are listed below:
Note: These permissions only affect creating, deleting, and modifying tags. ALL users will be able to USE every tag regardless of who created the tag.
Once you have created tags, you can also modify them here.
You can manage and list tags using the following commands:
/tags
or /tags list
./tags create
./tags edit <tag>
./tags delete <tag>
.To use a tag simply type /tag <name>
.
Emoji/Emotes CAN be used in Tags. However, it requires slightly more work due to how discord parses emotes. Normally in Discord, you could just type :lel:
or :smile:
to get an emote, however in Cakey Bot, neither of these will work. In order to get valid emojis you have to send the emojis in discord but place a backward slash in front of it to get the emote's full ID. Like so: \:lel:
or \:smile:
which will produce these results: <:lel:408424717217693717>
or for Unicode emoji: 😄
. Once you have the full emoji id or the raw Unicode output, you can paste these into Cakey Bot's web dashboard and they should work as long as Cakey Bot is in a server that has that custom emote in it.
It is worth noting that Cakey Bot can use emojis in between servers (similar to nitro users). So if you have an emoji in Server #1, you can use that emoji in a custom command in Server #2 if Cakey bot is in both of those servers.
To use images in responses, you can simply just type the image URL/link like you would in a normal message. If you have the file on your local machine/PC but no URL/link, you can upload it to an image hosting website (such as Imgur) and paste the URL they provide into the response. Cakey Bot should automatically embed the image in Discord's client if it's a valid URL/image.
