okay, looking at what you have posted, all of the $DB needs to stay original and no changes made there........the only changes that need to be made are in your files and it should look like this:

Or what ever the exact path is to your forums directory.......you shouldn't need the dot com in the path.

You should be able to find the exact root if you go to your vbulletin admincp, scroll down to maintenance, and then your php info, look for PHP Variables and then _SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"].

Then run and not botloaderinc.php

and if you need a fresh dbprefs file, I attatched one

Actually that is the correct root /xxxx/xxxxx/vhosts/jaxdoug.com/httpdocs

Doug

okay..........set that in the but don't make any changes to the original Just leave it like and in this line make sure you have the "/" at the very front, like this

Problem solved. I had my database name, username and password in the dbprefs file, I put them back to the original lines and the botloader worked fine, some 43000 entrys made into the database.

That was the part I just didn't understand, it probably should be noted in the dbprefs file not to change the database information to yours.


Thanks for you kind help and patience.

not a problem, glad it worked for ya............ and uh, my name is doug too.......hehehe

Whelp, i have to go to work now........have graveyards. Have a great nite, and romeo.......try the new ewt file, it is fixed.

Aren't some of those tables being used by vBulletin? Don't like fiddling with my DB, is there no unistall option for this mod?

no, all of vb code in your database are written as vbwhatever the name is......if you have cpg, it will be cpg123, etc...

I deleted this from my database when i first installed this mod, i ran into some issue's with the original code......my suggestion should get rid of all of the talkerbot coding.....

and there is no uninstall code that i am aware of at this point.....but tim will have to answer that one. I can only answer what i did within my database.

If you open the one's that i suggested in your phpmyadmin, and say you click on the word bot, you should then be able to click on the word browse, and you will see the .xml file's for the bot....If you do this to each of the suggested delete's, everyone has the bot id in it.

Holy Crap! You've done it man! :) Thankyou so much! I appreciate all the help and time you've spent! :) Watching it for a little while with users but seemed ok with my test......

ok great thankyou. i'll see what the answer is to my poll.....

Right on man.........glad it worked.......It was a simple typo too.....I knew it had to be a simple thing..lmao

okay....I think your user's will like it, especially when the botlearner program is fine tuned.

Okay, now we know it is working correctly with this fix: so anyone getting this error or anyone that is about to do a fresh install, please use this ewt.php file: Right here

Oh yeah, thanks for giving me more work.... Gotta get the learnerbot thingy now.... :D

Seriously thanks man.....

no problem man, i really enjoyed fixing this. I believe this is one kick ass mod and has a lot of potential.......

I have to agree..... Ok.... gettin' the learner.... :)

schweet.....

Its all good but the only issue with it is the fact that it has the duplicate post/quickreply issue atm. I love it, and my forum members love it but having every single post say you have double posted it a bit too much for me :(. Any chance you could fix those soon?

hmm, i noticed that everyonce in a while..........It may just be the floodcheck.....

Im getting a lot of <br></br> in my bots posts, any idea what the might be?

thanks again,

Doug

I released a bugfix for that here.

I will hopefully see about getting v2.2.3 out tonight which will be mainly a bugfix release as it stands right now. Since quite a few minor bugs have been discovered over the last 1-2 weeks. Thanks to everybody who is helping with support. I will also see about getting the uninstall code made for the product file soon. :)

OK, help me please - is this bot this stupid or did I forget to do something?

I'd love to give th bot an attitude. is that possible? Or can I remove all the dumb replies from it? It's neat, but.... This reply is just beyond words.

(Please see post #5 in this thread: http://forums.beerandshots.com/showthread.php?t=16933)

I called my bot a stupid slut and it said "you'll be sorry you said that when robots take over the world".

I think mine is getting better the more posts it makes.

You can see mine at JAXDOUG.COM and her name is Ima Bot.

Thanks,

doug

It is really that stupid.........seriously.

The aiml files were written to be answered like a person, so when you ask it a human question, it tries to respond as a human.

I too want mine to have attitude and extremetim is supposed to be looking at getting the "botlearner" program working, which will hopefully store a custom aiml file in your database, therefore, letting you teach the bot how to be a smart ass and when certain types of question's are asked, it will respond with a certian type of answer.

If this doesn't come to be, i will work on showing people how to teach their bot by manually adding to aiml files and reuploading the file.

Here is an example of what i have taught my bot, via aiml files, i will edit to keep it clean for .org, but hopefully you can see where i am going with this:

^^ That is absolutely hilarious!!!!

I too just want to take a second and apologize to anyone that find's my post above offensive, that isn't my intention.
I was/am only trying to give .org member's an idea of what this talkerbot can do. Which in the long run will make some of our site's have a little bit of it's own personality.
My own site, isn't based off of anything really serious, nor is any money involved, like trying to run a business. Mine is just set up for mustang enthusiasts and give's people a place to come hang out and have a good time if they want. There too is good information available, but not every second of every minute is based off of serious content.......

Kind of like havin a beer after work, but not really having a beer.

Hopefully I can get the time together this weekend to release 2.2.3. :)

Best of luck dude :)

I've already posted this on Tim's forum but posting the problem here to see if anyone else has a fix.

"I can confirm there are definate problems when replying to any forums which are listed in the forums the bot is able to read. Those that aren't in that list aren't affected.

It is affecting quick reply, advanced reply and creation of new threads."

This is the last hurdle (I hope). occasionally the bot responds so it is working. However normally it just hangs there :confused:

what exactly is it doing H kakashi?

Your Talkerbot Settings in your admincp, "Forums Talkerbot Should Reply In" and "Forums Talkerbot Should Read Posts In" need to have the same Id numbers in order to work correctly.

I have
Forums Talkerbot Should Read Posts In: *
Forums Talkerbot Should Reply In: 111

I've tried 111 in both but didn't make any difference.

When replying to a thread in any of the parts of the forums 'he' can read, it just hangs. I didn't see any abnormal cpu usage or disk activity on the server whilst it's hanging. Occasionally on the first post of a thread the bot will reply as intended.

Sometimes other users can get through to him but they hang for the most part as well. Kinda hit and miss. However a lot of people complained the forums was hanging when posting replies when the bot was turned on. Even outside the area I've assigned for it to reply in. So then I changed the "Read Posts in" value so that it didn't include all the forums. The forums that were left out , there was no problem replying to when the bot was on. However those that were included there was.

If however whilst it's hanging If I stop the browser and then refresh the page, my post will be there however no sign of the bot.

Strange problem T_T

I have already confirmed this bug and am working on a fix for it.

2.2.3 will ship late tonight or early tommorrow morning.

Just a before hand note for everybody: the file structure in this hack will be changing with the release of 2.2.3. Preparing it to utilize a more organized system similiar to what is going to be in place for 3.x.

Will we have to reload the AIML files to the database? Just curious, as it is not a simple task for some us as our Servers are very uncooperative! :p

no sir but files will be getting moved around. All my hacks that have files added are ending up in a folder called ewt where i can keep some sense or order. ;)

*whew*

Looking forward to it. Thanks again. :D

P.S. I need everybodies support for Mod Of The Month. ;)

well maybe if u help my problem! i still cant get my bot to reply without saying "i cant form a reply at this time"

talker bot gets my vote for the month since I did once a long time ago have it working and it was awsome.

Now with my new server though I need to load the files through botloader but it just stops once its got to C or D.

are you getting any error's magma, xml or anything?

no just my server seems to stop letting the page load after about 60sec.

Just timesout pretty much

okay........sorry to hear that.

Ello fellas...can someone tell me if this is compatible with vBull 3.6.1..
thanks
