📌 Before You Start
Before diving in, make sure the following points are checked to ensure everything runs smoothly:
The bot has permission to send messages and view the channel where you want the embed to appear.
You didn’t remove any required permissions when adding the bot to your server, missing permissions may cause certain features to fail.
The system only supports up to 10 roles per embed.
You must run the commands inside the server where the Directory System should be used, DMs won’t work.
If you delete the embed manually, you’ll need to set it up again using the command.
If you want to update the embeds title or description, you’ll need to set it up again using the command.
Once everything is set, you’re ready to jump into the setup!
📋 Quick Start
Follow the steps below to get started quickly with the Directory System. This guide keeps things simple, if you're looking for a detailed breakdown of every option and command, head over to the full documentation section.
Create the Embed
In order to create the embed, run /setup directory. You’ll find several options in the command. For a good structure of your embed, we suggest you do the following:
Status
Set the status to "Activate", so the embed actually updates.
Channel
Select the channel where you want the embed to be sent.
Member Display Limit
This option lets you define how many members should be shown for each role. Choose a number between 1 and 10, we suggest 10.
Include All Roles
Set to
Trueif you want members listed in all roles. Set toFalseif you want members only listed under their highest priority role. We recommendFalse.
Embed Title
Enter a title for the embed. We suggest "Directory".
Embed Description
Add a short description. Something like "View all our staff members in this embed, down below." works great.
Embed Thumbnail
Choose from 3 options:
None– no thumbnail will be shown.%server-icon%– uses the server icon (if there's no icon, the Rova icon will be used).Custom – paste a link to a Discord image to use as your own thumbnail.
Add Roles to the Embed
To add roles to the embed, run /directory add-role. You’ll see several options in the command. Since every server is different, we can’t give specific suggestions here, customize it based on your needs.
Once you’ve selected a role, choose an emoji. This can be a standard Discord emoji or a custom one. For the description, enter a short summary of the role. Then set the priority, which determines how high the role appears in the embed. You can choose a number between 1 and 255. The higher the number, the higher the role will be listed.
You can always update the embed manually by clicking the button. If possible, the embed will also be automatically updated by us every midnight, CET.
Keep in mind: You can’t edit the overall design or layout of the embed. You can only customize each role’s emoji and description, as well as the embed’s title and description.
