Website: www.extremechatforums.com

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.

Whats new in 2.5.0?
Cleanup of the code to allow better support for php5 users.
Simplified the steps to get the bot working.
Improved the code in various spots.
Fixed sloppy coding issues that remained from the original version of the hack.

Whats new in 2.2.4?

Start of php 5 compatibility fixes
Query errors
ajax cosmetics issue (should be fixed now but if not please let me know)
quite a few minor random things.

Whats new in 2.2.3?

Fixed a few bugs (didnt fix the php 5.1 issues yet till i have time to make sure they dont have an undesired effect)
Added code to make bot show up online.
Made bot show up as last poster correctly.
Fixed table prefix issue

Whats new in 2.2.2?

Cleaned up code a bit.
Fixed <br> problem
Improved bots sanity
Fixed alot of stuff.

To Upgrade from 2.2.4:

Upload all files import the new product.

To upgrade from 2.2.3:

Reupload src folder from the alice dir, install the product file, and upload ewt_talkerbot.php.

To upgrade from 2.2.2:

Reupload the src folder from the alice dir and also re upload the ewt_talkerbot.php file. No changes were made to the product file.

To upgrade from 2.2.1:

Overwrite the current product
Overwrite ewt_talkerbot.php


To Upgrade From 2.2.0:

Overwrite the current product. Upload ewt_talkerbot.php


To Upgrade From A Previous Version:

Just follow the install steps in the files becuase yea there was no prior version for vb3.6 so you should have no file edits to redo.

This version is much cleaner overall then all the previous version. I have removed a good deal of the code in the core alice bot that used to cuase errors. I have moved all the control settings into the admincp. Plus many other things including a much cleaner ewt_talkerbot.php file then the original _talkerbot.php file.


About v3

Yes version 3 is being planned out yet again. I had it finished at one point only to lose it when my computer was stolen a while back. So now im planning even more stuff for version 3. I will post information about v3 later.


AIML File:

I need aiml files. If you know where to get them or have a bunch you can send me please contact me via pm on here so I can get the files. (Needing more for the base package and some to start playing with the aiml sharing features of v3 )

Loading data aiml file: C.aiml
XML error: not well-formed (invalid token) at line 36

More XML errors when you skip C.aiml, all have invalid Tokens. How to avoid these?

If someone is interested how the Talker Bot is running with the German version, you can take a look here: http://www.ingamers.de/ingamers-fore...n-bot-521.html

Up! The supportsite is offline for more then a week. These 'invalid token' errors show up by all words or phrases that have ?, ?, ? etc. in it. It is nearly impossible to scan all the aiml files and taken them out or replace them. Is it a parsing problem?

[illkeyone]

I've installed the product. Then, I've opened
forums/alice/src/admin/dbprefs.php
to edit. But here, I confused. What should I write?

My config.php file is under;
/home/ibxnilk/public_html/mydomain/forum/includes/config.php
And my aiml files and the startup.xml are under;
/home/ibxnilk/public_html/mydomain/forum/alice/aiml/
so, should I write these? Or add anything else?

After I tried lots of things, I got the same error from the page
mydomain/forum/alice/src/admin/botloader.php
--->
Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, blabla @ mydomain.com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

May you please help me?
Thanks.

Why not use sed and awk to do some find and replace?

Seems to be a permission issue there on your webserver... Check your error_log to see what's causing this... All systems differ so I can't tell you where to look...

Make it XML compliant... Try posting the line 36 here or the whole file in quotes so I can see what you are talking about...

Edited:

<template>Le sujet est vaste, le sujet ne peut ?tre r?sum? par un mot.

This is my line 36 in the C.aiml and seeing that the foreign letters

? ?

are not xml compliant

[NuclioN]

Ok but these ê é etc. are all over the place. How to make these aiml files xml compliant?

Basically do a find and replace of all of these not xml compliant characters... As you know xml compliance is a big benefactor on the web especially with how and what to display in xml for an example the ones above you would find their soundings and put them in plain English format.

Then one day, I found the extras on Tim's forums (The coder of this program) and found their translation aiml file "dev-translation.aiml" it had massive errors in it with all the

ampersands "&"

and etc.. so I had to go through and clean it up for xml compliant:

Hence the

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

<aiml version="1.0">

</aiml>

I'm not going to teach any "how to xml complaint 101" , Just wanted to give you a heads-up that you want everything in plain ole english terms if you are using the encoding ISO-8859-1 in your xml (aiml) files, it's relatively simple if you know html and also just convert all the others with find and replace also you can go a faster route using any *nix flavor and know how to use sed and awk, which is faster...

As you see above in my example I cleaned that whole file up to become xml compliant to work using the ISO-8859-1!

Hope this helps...
