I installed this however is there any word on if the TeachBot addon will be ported as well. My bot's name is Alpha-5 ... makes sence eh?

- AG.net

Edit:

I found an error ... I did everything the install file says and I get to the botloader.php part and I go to the url and I get this error

Loading startup.xml

Warning: fopen(//web//sites//extremechatforums.com//public_html//www//forum//alice//aiml/startup.xml): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/agnet/public_html/forums/alice/src/admin/botloaderfuncs.php on line 508

Anyone have an idea?

Can this bot speak another language ( like asian language ) or it only speak english ??

Logikos

I've only seen it speak english.

It all depends on the aiml sets you load into it, such as:
German (http://www.alicebot.org/downloads/aiml/GermanAIML-standalone.zip)
French (http://www.alicebot.org/downloads/aiml-std-fr.zip)
and
Italian (http://www.alicebot.org/downloads/aiml/maria.zip)

I'm fairly sure I have seen other sets out there, and if you look around you may find a set that suits your needs.

OK we have gotten this bot working fairly well on my forums, but it still say: I'm not feeling very well at the moment, try again later. But it does answer a question every so often. What do I have to do to get it to learn more??

94DROPTOPZ

10-19-2004, 08:14 PM

Also does anybody know where I change his name? So that when people ask him his name he doesn't have to say:
"Sorry I don't feel well right now, please try again later"

Has anyone got any more advanced AIML files or know where I can get some? I've fed up with my bot asking me if I am Canadian and he also refuses to finish his sentances. We get a lot of

I'm glad you like talking about . :)
It is good that your name is .

And finally he likes to throw in a lot of <br> in his text. I get things like

Areyou candian?<br><br>
I like . <br><br>
Are you my botmaster? :censored:

obviously I have thesilie :censored: on my site.

I also need to make him know that he is called Tom and not Alice or programme E (I think he has dual personalities ;) :p)

Installed with no errors .. nothing showing in bot table .. no permissions to allow bot to increase bot replys in admincp !?

Problems solved .. edited the 3 php files and then uploaded the unchanged backups I'd made .. duh .. :tired:

Clicked install

I am installing now and I am having troubles figuring out what this means:

Run the SQL file that is inside the sql folder in phpmyadmin

What am I supposed to do at this step?

krash123

11-29-2004, 03:07 PM

If you're running cpanel on your site, the link to phpmyadmin would be something like http://www.yoursite.com:2082/3rdparty/phpMyAdmin/index.php
If it's another hosting panel thing, it's likely to be in a "MySQL Databases" section.

When you're in phpmyadmin, select your forums database from the dropdown box, click the SQL tab, and upload the sql file in the "Location of the textfile:" box.

I'm seeing a lot of advice with this hack to chmod your directories to 777-but that seems...scary to me since one of the files in the directory has db connection info. Does anyone know the most restricted access you can provide for your files?

WHAT IN THE HELL?

krash123

12-17-2004, 08:48 PM

got it all working but the bot says exactly the same thing every time. hmmmm
If it's the "I'm not feeling well, try again later" thing, it would probably mean either it's not reading from the database correctly, or you never ran the botloader.

WHAT IN THE HELL?
That looks like the source of a 404 page auveeb, for that to have any relevance to the topic, you would have to provide more information as to why you posted that and what you need help with. Misspelt something, didn't upload perhaps?
:ermm:

mholtum

12-18-2004, 02:08 PM

Ok, re-applied all the data base info. Re-did the edits and re-ran the bot loader all without a hitch. But he still only says he's sick...

What else could it be?

Lionel

12-18-2004, 02:15 PM

empty that part of db before reapplying

It appears this hack doesn't like servers running their php in safe mode.

Might there be a workaround? I am not certain, as my servers are not running safe mode.

You have to drop the tables added by this hack. I dont have the names of them handy or an unintsall tool. When I make the next version I am looking to make an uninstall file to drop the db changes.

Hey guys,
First off I want to say that this hack looks awesome and I cannot wait to get it running. I am experiencing a few problems, maybe you guys can help me out, I tried posting on his forum for support, but its been over a week and still no reply.

Here is what I have done...
1. I edited the files as specified
2. I updated the DB info file
3. I uploaded all the files onto my server

Ok now to the problems. When I go to create a new forum, I get this error..

Database error in vBulletin 3.0.5:

Invalid SQL:
### INSERT QUERY GENERATED BY fetch_query_sql() ###
INSERT INTO forum
(title, description, link, displayorder, daysprune, parentid, mimicbotrop, newpostemail, newthreademail, styleid, password, options)

mysql error: Unknown column 'mimicbotrop' in 'field list'

mysql error number: 1054

Date: Sunday 16th of January 2005 09:46:51 AM
Script: http://www.xxxxxxx.com/xxxxxx/admincp/forum.php
Referer: http://www.xxxxxxx.com/forum/xxxxxx/forum.php?do=add
Username: MikeWalczak
IP Address: *Removed*

Im not sure exactly whats going wrong with that. :(

Secondly, when I go to run the queries at http://www.xxxxxx.com/forums/alice/src/admin/botloader.php
I get this error (which I believe has been asked here before but im not positive on the answer). It says that that file has been chmoded to 777.
Heres what I get when I go there..

Loading startup.xml

Warning: fopen(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File(//web//sites//xxxxxxx.com//public_html//www//xxxx//alice//aiml/startup.xml) is not within the allowed path(s): (/xxxxx/xxxxx:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php:/tmp) in /xxxxx/xxxxx/public_html/forum/alice/src/admin/botloaderfuncs.php on line 508

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=360937&postcount=581

also, for all of you having a problem running the botloader.php and getting that ...blahblahblah on line 508 stuff, open your dbprefs.php file and where you put your path in put a "/" in the beginning of your path. Worked for me.

02-14-2005, 05:33 PM

I also posted this to the "official" support thread, but it doesn't seem as if anyone is helping those poor people, so I thought I'd post this here aswell:

I'm getting a strange error in my boatloaderfuncs.php file during the botloader loading file.

It says (***'s replace urls):
Warning: fopen(subs.inc): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /hsphere/local/home/***/botloaderfuncs.php on line 85

and:
Warning: fwrite(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /hsphere/local/home/***/botloaderfuncs.php on line 77

The second one is displayed seven times.
I thought it would be a chmod prob, but everything is chmod'd to 777.

The lines that have the problems in the botloaderfuncs are:
function addtosubs($string){

global $fp;

fwrite($fp,$string);

}

function createsubfile(){

global $fp;

$fp = fopen ("subs.inc", "w+");

}

Edit: Well I fixed the problems that I was having (it WAS a ChMOD prob), but the bot doesn't seem to reply to anything. At all.
It's very strange.

Have you made sure that _talkerbot.php is configged to talk in the forums? If you're using rateofbotposting you also need to change the percentage of each forum in the administration panel.

It has to do with the php settings on your server.

You can eliminate some of the errors with some easy editing.

Make a backup first...

Then where there is an Undefined Variable error, you can do this:

Add a @ in front of the variable name.

For example, in graphnew.php on line 199, change:

$curpdiff=sizeof($patternmatched) - $curpmsize;

to

@$curpdiff=sizeof($patternmatched) - $curpmsize;

Is there a way to change the PHP settings of our server so we don't have to edit all these files?

This page will show your options for error notifications and logging:

http://us4.php.net/manual/en/ref.errorfunc.php

Log into your vbulletin admin area and at the very bottom, click Import & Maintenance and then View php info. That will show your current settings.

Great hack, just got it working.

Ok, I'm very new to this and the spot I'm stuck at is this:

Run the SQL file that is inside the sql folder in phpmyadmin

The forums are vBulletin 3.0.7, there is no phpmyadmin that I can see, and nothing about running a SQL file in the admincp.

I am an admin but not the root admin, should that make a difference?

If anyone could help me please be as specific as possible, answer's like these haven't really helped:
You use the browse to file on your computer (you must have extracted the sql dir from the talkerbot zip) and then select the DB file from the sql dir and then you can execute it.

both can be done via vb's admin cp.

In cPanel go to phpmyadmin
Select your database
Click the SQL tab
Where it says 'Or Location of the textfile' click the browse button to find the file and click 'Go' ;)

Based on what I said there, your info didn't help too much because I don't see any phpmyadmin. Thanks anyways though I appreciate the response.

Over at vbhacks I got this answer:
You need to turn this option on.This is a part of your config.php file.
Add the user ids of the people you wish to run this operation.( sql Queries ) You can find a users user id by editing their profile in the admincp and it will display their user id at the top. If you are the origional administrator that installed the forum your user id is 1.

Since I was given ftp access I should be able to get that set up now and update our config.php with my id added so I can veiw the needed areas.

Support for this hack has returned. I will try to give support in this thread. Priority support will be given here (http://www.extremechatforums.com/forums/index.php?section=9998)

Just a note I will be starting work on a new version possible as soon as tonight. :)

I stops replying to posts if its gone on for a while... I think its got something to do with the number of smilies. How do I let the bot carry on even when there are too many smilies?

I'm getting errors.. I posted them on your site.. :D

Everything works without a hitch, other than the bot doesn't respond back in any forum. He works via the talking.html page..

I think it's a php setting (call-time pass etc). I didn't understand the way to work around this if my host won't turn it "on"...

Do you have the bot activated via forum manager? you need to set his percentage of posting.

I looked for a setting someplace, but didn't think of going there.. :D

I have it installed on vb3.0.6 and the only problem I have is the new thread. Go to start a new thread, submit, this sql error pops up,

Database error in vBulletin 3.0.6:

Invalid SQL: SELECT threadid FROM post WHERE postid=4249
mysql error: Table 'vbulletin.post' doesn't exist

mysql error number: 1146

Date: Thursday 14th of April 2005 08:54:33 PM
Script: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/forum/newthread.php
Referer: xxxxxx
Username: xIP Address: xxxxxxxxxx

After hitting back button it shows the new thread post but no reponse from Bot. However any posts added after the initial one works fine and the bot responds to all.
I use a vb3_ prefix for my database so vbulletin.post should be vb3_ post which does exist.
Where do I look to change this, seems it is only in new thread.php
Anyone have any suggestions?
In your _talkerbot.php file, find:
$tinfo = $DB_site->query_first("SELECT threadid FROM post WHERE postid=$newpost[postid]");
$threadinfo[threadid] = $tinfo[threadid];
}
$pinfo = $DB_site->query_first("SELECT max(postid) as pid FROM post WHERE threadid={$threadinfo[threadid]}");

And replace by:
$tinfo = $DB_site->query_first("SELECT threadid FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "post WHERE postid=$newpost[postid]");
$threadinfo[threadid] = $tinfo[threadid];
}
$pinfo = $DB_site->query_first("SELECT max(postid) as pid FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "post WHERE threadid={$threadinfo[threadid]}");

You will find this 2 times in that file, it has to be replaced 2 times.

PS I don't have this mod installed, so it is untested!

04-15-2005, 08:45 AM

Thanks MarcoH64,
Replaced both times in talkerbot.php and the same database error is still popping up (same one in last post) after starting a new thread, error shows - click refresh, proceeds to show first post in thread, then everything works after that just fine. Must be something in the newthread.php but with my lack of knowledge I do not know what to look for.

Confused now because those 2 places are the only ones where this query is being used i think.

Can you please post the EXACT error you are getting now?

Above problem has been fixed with a big bouquet of thank yous to MarcoH64, the end result was operator error, I had ended up with two talkerbot.php files and had done the changes MarcoH64 posted in the wrong one. Since correcting the right one everything works fine now.

I'm so lost...

I've got it all installed. Not getting any errors.

After running the loader, I get the option to talk to the bot, I do, and it responds with another question.

I have set several of my forums to 100, but yet, no reply from the bot. :/

Ideas?

This here.

Fix that and it should work.

Now just to get my issue fixed.

I've gone through all the files and looked them over. I found one thing in my path for the talk.php, fixed it but the bot is STILL not posting. I have several of the forums set at 100 for posting rate. But nothing.

Did you replace the 130 with the bots userid in the _talkerbot.php file?

Yes I did.

Question I do have though is I see people talking about _talkerbot.php, in the directions it says to rename it to tomstalkerbot.php.

I'm having trouble getting the bot to actually post anything. After installation I check the bots table as suggested and it is an empty table. Botloader seemed to work fine and got no errors. I have double checked all file mods and mods to _talkerbot. I have set tyhe forum to 100% chance of posting as well.

I can't see where I made a mistake. Can anyone assist? I'm attempting to install on vBulletin 3.0.6 with the 3.07 security patch.

Can you slow it down? It would be better for posts from the bot to appear a few minutes after someones post. I understand you can control the rate of replies... but can you control it so it doesnt reply immediatley?

i mean what format does that site use i dont get it

krash123

05-30-2005, 04:33 PM

Go into the vbulletin admin cp, open "Import & Maintenance" and click "View PHP info".
By the variable "DOCUMENT_ROOT" will be the root directory, which you will have to add "forums/alice/aiml/" or whatever your structure is to it.
If you are running on a windows server though, it will be in a different format, such as the drive letter followed by the sub-directories.

I've been looking over the aiml files here (http://www.alicebot.org/aiml/aaa/) and they've all been updated since the original version of the hack and I was wondering if I'd be able to load some of these in (the green ones that is) to make the bot a bit more clever. I've seen this asked throughout the thread but no answer has actually been given.

krash123

06-02-2005, 02:52 PM

Oh yes, by all means blue, none of those will actually do any harm to the bot, though some do need to be modified a bit so yours doesn't pretend to be alice. I've been using any additional aiml I could find since the old vb2 bot.

I was having similar problems with a few of my scripts while I was using php5, don't think I had any with the bot though.

Well I've reinstalled my bot now, but I'm getting a different error :(

When I post, I get a "page cannot be displayed" error in IE. If I refresh I get an "invalid thread specified" error. But, if I go back to the forum, the post is actually there but with no reply from the bot.

If I use Firefox, when I submit the form the page starts to load, then stops loading. If I push the submit button again, it goes to the vbulletin error:

This post is a duplicate of a post that you have posted in the last five minutes. You will be redirected to that thread.

Again, if I go back to the thread again, the post is actually there, again with no reply from the bot.

The installation went fine, except when it said: "Login to phpmyadmin and check in the 'bots' table that the bot id is 0". My bots table was empty.

And the annoying thing is that this was all working fine until a week or so ago and I've no idea why it stopped working :(

Thanks- I am looking forward to checking out vb 3.5 once it is past the beta stage. The above error happened with VB version 3.0.5. Is there anyway I can execute the commands from botloader.php when installing without getting that error? Has anyone else who received the error 500 ""error: directory is writable by others"" been able to install this successfully? What could be the cause of this error, since this hack requires that directory to be chmod'ed to 777?

It would be security on your server preventing access to the dir since it is writable.

The hack is great and when I had it working it seemed to be stable and work fine.

But for some reason, it just stopped working one day and no matter how many times I reinstall it, I can't get it working again. The original creator did say he was working on a new version, which I'm hoping will be more reliable.

I've had this mod on my board for awhile now. I disabled him for a couple months, but upon bringing him back to life, he returns errors regarding his talk.php file that should be located here. (http://www.extremechatforums.com/forum/alice/src/talk.php) Has this file been removed for any particular reason? And if so, could you provide me with a copy of this file to have on my server so I can get it running again? I find it to be somewhat amusing because he seems to respond about half the time to a certain group of members.

Er that file is in the attachment (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=16110) which you can download. But when you installed the hack, you should have copied all of these files to your server anyway.

I noticed this. But the original file I downloaded for this hack had that talk.php link to his website and I wasn't quite sure if he had a hack for other people aimed at a file on his website for a particular reason. I became more curious of this once I saw the file didn't exist at that address. I almost have it. One more kink, but I know what it is. Thanks.

If we already had the alice bot installed from 2.0.x and then upgraded to 3.0.7 and we have all the tables that are trying to be created from the sql file, is it ok to leave them, or do they all need to be deleted so the new sql file can create them? In other words are they updated at all since the one that was released a few years ago?

Is it safe to delete all these tables from my mysql database? :

is there a way the bot answers in correct english ?

me : " Hi, Its friday the weekend is coming."
bot: "Hi there . Again, Um,
:-) I think you mean "it's" or "it is" not "its". Who said
friday the weekend is coming is?"

will that bot learn something one day ? :nervous:

Went to install this and had my account suspended for a weee bit.. LOL

apparently they did not appreciate the 300,000 queries, is there another way around this?

I asked if they could run the script for me, they said no, find another way.

So any advice would be appreciated.

i posted this a few months ago and got no reply. after looking around i think i found the problem. the error i was getting was after every time i posted in the bot section on the redirecting page

Warning: file_get_contents(): URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in /_talkerbot.php on line 82

Warning: file_get_contents(http://www.mysite.com/forums/alice/src/talk.php?vbid=1&input=testing): failed to open stream: no suitable wrapper could be found in /_talkerbot.php on line 82

i found a post today that has this explaination

Anyone having this problem :

Warning: file_get_contents(): URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in /_talkerbot.php on line 82

Warning: file_get_contents(http://localhost/forum/alice/src/ta...t=Testing+again...): failed to open stream: no suitable wrapper could be found in /_talkerbot.php on line 82

This mean your server doesn't have the PHP function allow_url_fopen = ON which will not allow you to get distant files such as xml or rss. Please contact your host regarding of the status of this function and if he can enables it.

ALSO PUT THIS AS PREREQUIREMENT FOR YOUR SCRIPT TO WORK:
allow_url_fopen must be ON, otherwise it won't allow you to get distant files.

i am with dreamhost, and apparently they set allow_url_fopen to OFF on all accounts because of security issues. http://wiki.dreamhost.com/index.php/Allow_url_fopen

they mention for some things you would use allow_url_fopen for, you can use CURL http://wiki.dreamhost.com/index.php/CURL which (along with php) is somthing i have no knowledge of at all.

my question now is, would it even be possible to make a few changes here and there to make this script work using CURL, without allow_url_fopen being on, or is there just no way to do it?

thanks

I need to make sure i put a / in front :confused:

Anyway it ended up been

However now i have another little problem. When users post in the bots forum it sends it to the database fine, and the bot replies to it in the database but it doesn't make a new post with the bots reply.

Any ideas why.

Yes with some minor changes, I have it going on 3.5.3 test board atm, no vb file edits are nessecary, smilies are broken atm but it is working with WYSiWYG/Normal/Newthread/reply and Ajax QuickReply, quoting seems ok and its RE: Threadtitle ok aswell.
Theres no CP settings either atm so to change these is something that has to be done in phpMyAdmin if your using the $usechanceofpost setting for now.

If Tim is happy for me to post how or even the updated file _talkerbot.php and plugin.xml in this thread and you dont mind it the way it is as above, while we await the new version 3 for 3.5, else I am afraid you will need to work out the few changes nessecary yourselves or wait till Tim is ready with the new version.

It would also be on the grounds that I am taking no credit for it, the changes are too minor, I will not be guaranteeing any support, but I dont see why exchanges of extra info to help finish a v2 update for 3.5 would be a bad thing. And no I am not trying to, nor want to take over the hack, I am just offering it as an aid to keep some happy during the transition of the new improved version that is coming. ;)

I do agree that time waited has been somewhat of a considerable length.

It may also be at cross purposes with this thread itself to make changes which are unsupported by the author and may well add confusion to the thread.

Maybe we need some vb.org staff response in regards this as I dont in anyway want to undermine ExtremeTim but I am coming to the opinion that perhaps something like a TalkerBot v2.0.2 for vb 3.5 branch is required, (vb 4 may well be just round the corner by the time the new v3 is released from ExtremeTim), which I dont mind starting on the terms I have all ready stated and making it a community project branch of the hack, the majority of the hack is a 3rd party application anyway, it just makes vb interface with that application or rather vice versa. I have no idea what the rules here are regarding this and the vb file itself only contain a copyright with no real license ?

nitro

02-05-2006, 06:25 AM

If anyones still using this on v3.0x and your having trouble with smilies I am sure theres a typo in this line
if ($botqusetandsmilie == "1") {
which should be
if ($botuserandsmilie == "1") {

Status on the 3.5 functinality I have got to is now, ACP option appears and seems to function and smilies are by the looks spot on, and I seem to have managed a little extra, but I am not going to say anything on that till further testing.

Yes I agree, at this point something needs to be done, the hack convert was done by Rapid Gaming in the first place, and its core is C-birch which is open source, there is also a much more advanced, and way better version of this hack for phpBB atm that you might just consider porting over to VB and posting.

Cant say I am sure about the C.Birch orignal vb 2 mod being open source but I cannot locate the complete package, only the php file which mentions nothing of GNU/GPL etc but just a Copyright line.
And the Rapid Gaming vb 3 original port package is also removed.

Alice itself which is the engine is of course open source.

Best bet is wait and see what response I get from Tim himself on having the 202 bot working in vb 3.5x and what he says he will be ok with as v3 is under development and may not be available for sometime.

I am not to sure on the phpbb link the author theres abonded the project it seems almost 12 months ago, and for the AI responses themselves its a case of tweaking the aiml's prior to install or tweeking its extensive db entries aswell as its learning curve.
Besides updating something designed for an older system is one thing porting one in from another is quite abit more and likely take some time with my menial php knowledge. ;)

1 Once a port has been handed over to a new author I would guess its as much down to, reasonable effort should be made to contact the new author.
2 the orignal v3 port is not available anymore anyway, it was removed from the thread @ handover.

I would look at a thread in site feedback forum if I was you to get a gist on whats not acceptable or is regarding updating hacks.

ATM the only way to get this out as a release is a complete rewrite I believe, and even that may be open to accusations.

Even a private transaction regarding installing this onto another members board for 3.5 may well be outside the bounds of accepatable, due to the fact that code has been modified in a non personal way without the authors prior consent.

If any coders wish to contact me about a complete rewrite possiblity as a group project feel free. If your not a coder do not bother. I have a new name figured allready for it, aswell as it working in 3.5 with extra features. It will need to be rewritten in a way that it cannot become open to accusations from the current projecteers.

I am still looking for a reliable coder to write a new bot mod...so it looks like we all wait some more..

Then I suggest you follow this thread https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=109496

Altho what lines get drawn on a hack thats allready a port of a port I dont know. The situation seems a bit crazy at times.

* nitro shrugs I certainly dont think its fair that the ExtremeTim has put up "support for the hack has returned" when it most certainly has not.

hey guys,

i'm thinking about intalling this, i'm running 3.0.9

my question is, will it go through and reply to the thousands of posts already posted over the last few months throughout the forum?

thanks for your help, i appreciate it.

No, the bot will only reply to posts which are made AFTER it is installed and configured. And only the posts in the specific forums which you tell it to monitor anyway.

Hope that helps.

hey paprika,

thanks! that does help. a lot.

have you used it? i've seen it on a couple of sites, looks a little hacky, but i'm trying to make sure my pages are updated so they look recent for the search engines.

is there something else i can do that you know of?
