I just had to reinstall one of my forums and was having that issue of her responding before my post. When I had it use the % post, then changed it to 100% on the forum she posts in, that seems to have slowed down her response enough to make her response show up "after" my post. Basically added another querie for talkerbot, which gives that additional fraction of a second difference that you need..

I've followed the instructions to the letter for this one, botloader.php worked fine and I can chat to the bot, but if I try to get it to reply to a thread in the forum I get a message saying "I was not able to connect to my database. Please try again later." What's the reason for this and how can I fix it? My forum is installed in the server root, i.e. the forum directory is "/".

Either the alice folder isnt in / or else your server may not allow you to run the current version.

The Alice folder is in "/". Is there a script I can use to test if the server allows me to run it or not?

Does anyone know if this works with 3.6.7? I tried it last night and got a cookie error in line 53 of ewt_talkerbot.php

Working fine on my 3.6.7 :up:

Just waiting for Tim to tell me how to re-install the training option which worked well until I upgraded.

Working great on 3.6.7 here too
But I am ALSO waiting for the training function.. over 1000 messages over and forth with the bot, but not learning a thing..

Thanks TTG and masons

I just reinstalled again and this time I did not chmod 777 files nor did I run Run http://www.yourdomain.com/forums/ali.../botloader.php
and it works great.

Just wondering if I should delete botloader.php file as suggested previously?

Nice mod *installed*

Bot will only learn with some edits to the external.php and then running the botlearner.php to add new tables to the database.
Please, please let us have the info Tim :D

Suddenly started to get error's when making posts :-

1. Did you ever get that fixed?

2. Also will the bot learn from my users talking to him regularly or will he only learn by me teaching him?

3. Look forward to installing this mod on my new VB installation so I just wanted to say I have no idea how you created such an awesome product but Im excited to begin using it and would like to thank you. I will be donating once i get this working in a live environment. :)

Still no answer.........................
Thanx bud

Can someone answer the questions we all share perhaps?

Awesome Mod!

Can you set how long before it replies to posts, and can it be confined to be working in a single forum?

Many thanks!

admincp > vbulletin options > talkerbot settings > put in forum id of forums you want it to work in.

then go to forum manager and set the response percentage in the forum(s) you selected above.

easy install on 3.6.7

works fine right now

yes, it would be nice to have it learn

I guess I spoke too soon. He is posting before members post and it has already become annoying.

Nice Hack .. and i am using this for first time. This will be good and great hack for new forums to boost the forum.

Still dont understand how to change the bots name...

Does anyone know how?

Thanks

She can't even remember names from one day to the next, or anything else you tell her for that matter. I don't understand this...really I don't. Everything that is said to her is stored in the database so how can she forget *anything*? I tell her my name, she associates it with my User ID, and that should be that. I shouldn't have to keep repeating it over and over. What's causing this?

You change the name in the database. Just log in to phpmyadmin (or whatever you are using to manage your database) and you will see fields there to change everything.

I am pretty sure he will create fields for this to be changed via the admin panel eventually.

It always say that it cant connect to the Databasw what should i do?

How do you run the http://www.yourdomain.com/forums/ali.../botloader.php part, i always get a 404 not found page. Can someone please help!?!?

Are you really running "http://www.yourdomain.com/forums/alice/src/admin/botloader.php", or are you editing it properly to include YOUR domain?

If you got a 404 error page, make sure your files are uploaded and in the right spot. That's not a hack / mod problem, it's operator error. (No offense). It just means that you did not do something right.

This is crazy. I originally got the "Cannot connect to database. please try again later" error. So I edited my dbprefs file to include the correct paths. Now I whenever the bot replies I get...

"<br />
<b>Fatal error</b>: main() [<a href='function.require'>function.require</a>]: Failed opening required '/home/users/public_html/forums/includes/config.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in <b>/homepages/42/d193140338/htdocs/marshmarauders/forums/alice/src/admin/dbprefs.php</b> on line <b>49</b><br />"

GRRRRRRRRR. This is driving me nuts! lol

Can someone help me?I get the "Cannot connect to database. please try again later" error too

Well i fixed that, but now the bot just says either "cannot connect to database. please try again later" again, or weird german crap, or this "Intéressant, j archive vos informations."

Your dbprefs.php edits were not done correctly. Some servers have different paths to the folders. As you can see in the fatal error I posted above, mine is much longer than what other have used.

We need a better learning system. This is absurd.

To get the path to the the Alice directory on your server just use the code below to create a php file, throw the file in the alice directory and navigate to it. It will provide you with the correct path.

Or use the attached file:

1. No , it pretty much remembers nothing at all. Though it did remember something today from a few days ago....no idea why.

2. The bot is supposed to learn but cannot until Tim releases an update for it. So at the moment , it does really remember anything which is a bit disappointing.

I had this as my php.ini file on the server had the wrong setting. Once changed it worked perfectly.

That bot is so funny ... http://www.extremewebtech.com/forums...nds/t152401-hi

Ugh my forum using vbseo and have conflict here, if you go to http://www.indonesiaindonesia.com/ewt_talkerbot.php you will get system message


with vbseo i can change url


http://www.indonesiaindonesia.com/ewt_talkerbot.php

to

http://www.indonesiaindonesia.com/r/ewt_talkerbot.html




where i need to change this in talkerbot files or plugin?
i have found one in admincp --> plugin manager --> Talkerbot - Include The Bot

i change ewt_talkerbot.php to r/ewt_talkerbot.html there

WOW what great support...................
You would think Tim would at least respond to specific issues..........
I even sent a pm with no response
Keep your hacks bro..........
Just not worth the headaches........

Unfortunately I am thinking the same.

I certainly dont expect 24/7 support , but to acknowledge something is happening would be good. I might give it a week and if there is still no reply at all I will remove it.

Du! look how maney pages there is, 59!! why dont you cut this guy a little slack! I would of gave up on page 20 if I was him.....

Simply any post saying " I am still working on it " would suffice. There have been quite a few " abandoned projects " , where members have been left hanging ,if that is the case , thats all we want to know.

If it still is an active project , thats great , people just want to know either way.

Its taken me 3 minutes to post this. That is all thats required to let people know either way. Its not that hard is it ? :)

Hmmmmmm......I'm still running the old bot, I guess I will update my bot and see how it goes.

Yes, this is a great modification.

Thanks and I'll keep all of you posted on my success or failure with this mod.

Cheers.
