**Edit: Never mind this, it works perfectly:)

Hi,

I have installed this hack as was stated in the install file, yet when I try to run botloarder.php all I get is the following:

Loading startup.xml

Warning: fopen("/platinum/public_html/forums/aiml/startup.xml", "r") - No such file or directory in /home/platinum/public_html/forums/alice/src/admin/botloaderfuncs.php on line 508
could not open XML input

Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong? Everything is CHMODDed to '777' and all files are uploaded properly, but all I get is the aforementioned error. Sorry to be a bother.

Thanks!

Here's a pic of the problem I'm having. Everyone of the bot's posts has this. Any ideas?

Steve
Well that's suppose to be calling a smile, at least the works for most of us lol.

To address the problem that some get for fopen, this is most likely do to one of two things:

Either your host don't have the fopen option enabled in php.ini

or

Like me, im running htaccess and its blocking access to open the talk.php file.

Im still trying to get a work around im happy with, but its begining to irk me. I like this hack alot and would appreciate any help from a htaccess guru?

thanx

Thanks but actually I am getting the smilies just fine. This one is always an extra:

<img src="" alt="" border="0">

...at the beginning of the post.

See the new pic.

No, that's not it. That's the post icon. :)

Steve: open tomstalkerbot.php.

FIND AND DELETE:

,iconid

FIND AND DELETE:

,'10'

Or you could just change the iconid to an existing id, but I recommend deleting it or all your bot's posts will have the same icon.

Here's something weird. If I edit the post there is no img code in it. If I twen save it without making any changes the <img src="" alt="" border="0"> disappears. :confused:

Yeah heres a pic from mine

Hmmm....I did this and now the bot isn't responding at all. Let me try this again.

Well, it won't respond if your message has less than 10 characters so that might be it. :)

Nope, that's not it. It was well over 10 characters.
