Improved the code in various spots.
Fixed sloppy coding issues that remained from the original version of the hack.

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

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 keep getting this error now and then when I go to make a new post or thread

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in /home/sportszo/public_html/alice/src/graphnew.php on line 72

If i refresh the page, the error goes away, but I'd prefer that the error didn't appear at all!!

How do I fix this?

BTW I installed the additional aiml files yesterday, and this started to hapen...

Cheers

i think it might be the startup.xml file thats causing it...
tim advised all on his board not to use it.
do u have the original one still??

replace it with that, and try again

btw, is it causing you to double post on here as well??
heh heh

[SportsZone]

I used a startup.xml he posted on his site, not the one in the file. I think I have the original startup.xml file, should I upload that file then?

lol nah my wireless connection briefly went at a snails pace!

That problem is a problem more then likely with your server being slow. Since this should never take 30 seconds to generate a response.

[bashy]

Deffo not 30 seconds, More like 0.0001 milliseconds
Its funny when new members make thier introduction post, They think there being followed by the fastest poster in the west lol

Installed the bot, edited the db file, without touching the user/pass entries.

$DB_HOST=$config['MasterServer']['servername'];
$DB_UNAME=$config['MasterServer']['username'];
$DB_PWORD=$config['MasterServer']['password'];
$DB_DB=$config['Database']['dbname'];

I imported all the new stuff, NOT using the files Tim said to not use yet because of bugs (start etc)

Did the loader thing, brought up lots of entries, thousands.

Setup the bot, but he never posted. Tried the 'talk' test thing, his replies were very simple and didn't make sense.

I figured perhaps I needed the database stuff entered (user/pass etc) so I did and redid the load, no entries added, still doesn't post, and now the talk test is blank.

chmod is 777, and it DID appear to upload all the database entries....is there something in phpmyadmin I need to adjust from 0 to 1? I recall reading that somewhere...

I've done all the available addons including the recent learner one.

I finally reverted my db file back to normal, without the db entries, but the root still there. Still nothing, and its still blank on the talk.html

Any ideas of what I could have missed?

(vbb 3.6 rc1 btw...)

start from scratch lucky, redo all of your upload files, run the learner bot.......don't change

$DB_HOST=$config['MasterServer']['servername'];
$DB_UNAME=$config['MasterServer']['username'];
$DB_PWORD=$config['MasterServer']['password'];
$DB_DB=$config['Database']['dbname'];

Just the 2 lines

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

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

and make sure you overwrite the files plugin stuff.......

You will also have to ensure that all of the files and folders in alice are 0777....... should work.

I'll do that now.

Finally got it working, don't know what I was missing....

Bot doesn't make a whole lot of sense really. Is this normal?
