Is there a way to configure the bot to reply to wildcard queries that have a portion of text that matches what's been programed in the ACP?

I have a solution for this and it seems to be working fine

Edit the includes/class_dm_mgccbchat.php file.

Search for :

PHP Code:

                        if (strcasecmp($bot['question'],$this->raw_chat) == 0) 


and replace it by

PHP Code:

                        if (stripos($this->raw_chat,$bot['question']) === 0) 


Simple ..isn't it? :up:

However this only works on PHP5 ..

Replace this by :

    {
        $found = 1; // Same length string and string equals
    }
}
else if (strlen(stristr($this->raw_chat,$bot['question']))>0)
{
    $found = 1; // Bot question included in part of the chat
}
    
if ($found)
{
    // Do some replacements
    $bot['answer'] = str_replace('{username}',htmlspecialchars($this->registry->userinfo['username']), $bot['answer']);
    $bot['answer'] = str_replace('{time}',vbdate($this->registry->options['timeformat'],TIMENOW,true,false), $bot['answer']);

    $notfound    = 0;
} 


I haven't tested the code and did it quickly @work but if you can try it that would be nice

The code that you have posted did not seem to work well for some reason. :down: It does pick up the text from the string and I get a response from the bot, but for any message I try to post after that, it keeps giving me an error "A previous chat is being posted"

Thanks for this awesome mod
