Fixed sloppy coding issues that remained from the original version of the hack.

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

Added code to make bot show up online.
Made bot show up as last poster correctly.

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 )

I set it at 1 and he is still replying to every post VERY quickly. I am not trying to bug as much you as much as just give you some feedback....

I am posting here if you want to look:

I can PM you a login/password if you want. Gawd! I feel like a little kid with a new toy!! LOL

I have now put in place a delay of 2 seconds. I will update the zip file in a second. The only file that needs to be done to get the update is replace ewt_talkerbot.php. I will let you know when its up.

[eXtremeTim]

Updated the zip file now. he will still reply instantly but it will now show up after the post hes replying to.

The rate of posting is basicly an option to control the % of the time he will reply to a thread. Basicly a say 25% chance he will reply and to use it you must enable it from the options page.

I keep getting this error Warning: mysql_connect(): Access denied for user 'geek'@'localhost' (using password: NO) in /home/geek/public_html/alice/src/admin/dbprefs.php on line 57

I have checked the forum path in both fields in dbprefs.
I thought it could have been my pwd making use of the ['s so I tried a trick with that and ended up changing the whole db pwd to just alpha and numerics and still getting this.

$rootdir= "/home/geek/public_html/alice/aiml/";

require('/home/geek/public_html/includes/config.php');

$DB_HOST=$config['MasterServer']['localhost'];
$DB_UNAME=$config['MasterServer']['geek_vForum'];
$DB_PWORD=$config['MasterServer']['***********'];
$DB_DB=$config['Database']['geek_vForum'];

Any help with this please?

[eXtremeTim]

You didnt need to edit thoose config variables. That is where i pull them from the vbulletin config file. So put thoose 4 lines back how they were and you will be fine.

I can't get my bot to respond

The "Click here to talk to the bot" after installation works, but he's not replying to any posts in my designated forum.

[eXtremeTim]

Did you read the settings so see how to configure them correctly?

[Nathan_R]

As far as I can tell, yes, it's set up correctly.

Is there any information I can post here to help troubleshoot?

[G_Man]

Working Pretty Good now!!

I'll quit cluttering up your thread now. Just wanted to say thanks again for a great Hack and I'll be checking in daily for updates, since I can tell you like tinkering with this thing!!
