I am using EWT - Talkerbot v2.2.1, and even though I've even tried entering the install queries manually, I'm still getting this old error whenever I try to set the bot's ROP:

Database error in vBulletin 3.6.0:

MySQL Error : Unknown column 'mimicbotrop' in 'field list'
Error Number : 1054

what about s_ vars

run the following query on your database. (remember if you use a table prefix to append it)

ALTER TABLE `forum` ADD `mimicbotrop` INT( 5 ) DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL ;

i dont really understand sql, but this query seems incorrect

ALTER TABLE `forum` ADD `mimicbotrop` INT( 5 ) DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL ;

`forum` should not be literal, but should instead be the name of the target forum. changing this to my forum's name fixed the error.

edit: i came back to post this before i saw your post. when using the install xml, the forum prefix is not appended as you wish.

yea i realize i did forget to put the forum prefix in now. Ill update the xml shortly.

Can this create new threads?
If not, do you think it would be possible?

I is theoretically possible for me to make it so it can create threads every so often via some random timing and a cron script. Not exactly sure how I would go about doing that but I will definately look into it.

Yes ... that was the problem. Very funny. Silly me. Now it works, thanks a lot!

How can I uninstall this hack? Is it just a matter of removing the product and dropping the two tables called bot and bots?

Hm ... works almost fine now. But there's another funny problem ... and it's hard to explain. Hubert (the Name of the bot) doubles his posts. Example:


me: Hallo

he: (something)

me: Hallo again


Result:

me: Hallo

he: (something)

he: (same something)

me: Hallo again

he: (something new)



Very confusing. Any idea?
