What This Hack Does.

This hack add a userlike bot to your forums. You can set which forum he will post in and how often he will reply to poeples posts. He will try and build his replies off the text that they posted. This bot will learn overtime slowly from your users posts. I will also be seeing about porting over the teachbot soon.

Some New Features
acp controlled Rate Of Post
ability to post as bot and he will not reply
post count will not go up in forums where post counts are turned off
a few options to turn off and on a few things including the script itself.
Some other stuff i just cant remember

Fixed in 2.0.2:
Go advanced feature works for quick reply.
Bot will no longer reply when post is stopped becuase of an error. (aka floodlimit, to many images, ect)

Fixed in 2.0.1:
Fixed a few minor problems including using the wrong variable in the if statement for the random smilie check.
fixed the install.txt problem used a find code that was from one of my modifications sorry about that.

Upgrading From v2.0.1 Instructions:
These are in the v202 upgrade file

Upgrading From v2.0.0 Instructions:
To upgrade from v2.0 just make your changes to the new _talkerbot.php file and replace the old v2.0 one.


Upgrading From v1 Instructions:
Just use the install.txt and do the forum.php in the acp directory edits.
Add the new phrase and run the query.


Todo List:
Move all settings to acp settings page
fix the floodcheck problem of bot still replying when users post is not made.
Clean up the code more
Figure out more stuff todo.

After moving to a new host, i'm starting to see some errors show up in the error log.

One of them dealing with permissions of the directories. What should the correct chmod be?

[krash123]

777 will do it.

That's what it is complaining about though.

I'm also seeing this after a post is done:

Now in the phrase part

Rate Of Bots Posting<dfn>Setting this to 0 will disable him and a number 1-100 will be his percentage of replying.</dfn>

I assume you have to change somthing here ?

Because i have installed my bot and posted in the section assigned and it has not replied !

Anyone know what's up?

Well I've reinstalled my bot now, but I'm getting a different error

When I post, I get a "page cannot be displayed" error in IE. If I refresh I get an "invalid thread specified" error. But, if I go back to the forum, the post is actually there but with no reply from the bot.

If I use Firefox, when I submit the form the page starts to load, then stops loading. If I push the submit button again, it goes to the vbulletin error:

This post is a duplicate of a post that you have posted in the last five minutes. You will be redirected to that thread.

Again, if I go back to the thread again, the post is actually there, again with no reply from the bot.

The installation went fine, except when it said: "Login to phpmyadmin and check in the 'bots' table that the bot id is 0". My bots table was empty.

And the annoying thing is that this was all working fine until a week or so ago and I've no idea why it stopped working

How does one go about not having him/her say "seeker" when someone asks his/her name? as in - your name is kyle seeker.
I checked out bot in the database but didn't see anything to do with seeker.

I will be porting this up to vb 3.5 and resuming work on it. I hope to get it ported up in the next couple of days.

I am getting the same error when attempting to run botloader.php fpr the first time (a 500 error, and then the statement that "error: directory is writable by others") - is there a fix?
