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?

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 )

How do you think this happened only for a few of us? I did not touch this code before these errors started happening... Was the white space somehow stripped durring compression or something???

More likely a typo really, its a common error, done it myself before.

Why affect some and not others ? 2 possibilities come to mind, your version of mysql, do you have a table prefix ? if so it would definatley have affected it.

[RichieBoy67]

This is what I have

PHP version 4.3.10
MySQL version 4.0.27-standard

No prefix's... I have spent over 2 hours trying to fix the errors associated with this mod and I have been unable to find a fix.. I am bumming because I love this mod...

Thanks for trying...

When I try that the bot responds "What is your favorite color?"

[nitro]

Think the spaces are missing from these aswell

PHP Code:

".$vbulletin->options['ewt_talkerbot_botuid']." 


Should be

PHP Code:

" . $vbulletin->options['ewt_talkerbot_botuid'] . " 


[Romeos Tune]

Still get the same error here after that......

[gooberface]

Is there anyway to assign the bot to a certain thread? So I could make a "talk to the bot" thread?

EDIT: I actually searched the thread and saw that this might be in the next version. Awesome, that would be a great feature.

What i did goober face was assign him his own forum area, that way, he is only in one spot and people can start different threads in his forum and chat away.......

Hey Nitro, have you had a chance to look at this code? creating your own teaching feeds. It has great possibilities once tim get's it running....

Not yet, looking at some other changes, like multibot (should be easy to change it back to how I did that before pretty much and select a random bot based on membergroups so they can still apear as regular regged users), and then see if I can plug it into articlebot will be next.

PS, the session code from this seems to work well, I snipped and modded that part slightly and added it to articlebot's core file and voila they appear in online and visted toddays users aswell.

really? You gonna share yet?

I would love to try it..........hehehehe
