[about]

vBFAQbot is a hack that adds a bot to your forum that answers people's frequently asked questions, or you can set it up to reply to specific triggers (they don't have to be FAQ questions). For example, you could let the bot give a list of rules when someone types !rules.
The bot is an AI bot (alicebot) but has no AIML pre-written and is therefore not AI.
vBTeachbot (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...threadid=48291) is integrated with vBFAQbot, but it can also be used as a seperate hack with Tombot (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...threadid=48053). vBFAQbot is based on C.Birch's Tombot so big thanks to him. vBTeachbot lets you write custom aiml to use with your AI bot.

[note]

I wrote some real great instructions earlier, but overwrote the file, so if you think these instructions are crappy you know why. It annoys me, but I like to keep a happy face.

[SgtSling]

ok this is great.. but how do i restrict him to only 1 forum?

[Liz]

There is probably a really easy soultion to this, but I sure can't figure it out.

I'm having a problem, whenever I post a question to test it and see if the bot responds...it does, but the answer doesn't show. Only what the bot quoted from me.

Any ideas?

I copied what the botloader.php said - if it's needed? Help! Help!

If I already have Tombot installed, can I install VBFAQbot too without any problems of the two conflicting? I haven't installed the TeachBot hack for my Tombot yet, but I was planning on it.

These 3 hacks won't conflict will they? Is there anything specific I should know before I begin hacking that FAQbot requires?

I have a problem, when i write a New Thread with 20000 characters.

Warning: fopen(http://www.tier-portal.info/Portal/a...Ausbildung%3C% in /home/vhosts/5000118682/tier-portal.info/htdocs/Portal/faqbot.php on line 25

Warning: fread(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /home/vhosts/5000118682/tier-portal.info/htdocs/Portal/faqbot.php on line 28

Warning: fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /home/vhosts/5000118682/tier-portal.info/htdocs/Portal/faqbot.php on line 29

The code are seems so:

( Code begin Line 25 )

PHP Code:

if ($faqbothc != $faqbot_message) {return true;};
if ($faqbotc != $faqbot_message) 
{ $faqbot_message2 = preg_replace("#(\[quote\].*\[/quote\])#ies","",$faqbot_message);
$faqbot_message2 = preg_replace("#(\[quote.*\].*\[/quote\])#ies","",$faqbot_message2);
$faqbot_message2 = preg_replace("#(\[.+\])#ies","",$faqbot_message2); }
$rss = preg_replace("#^(.*)\[/quote\]#ies","",$message);
$ff = fopen($alicelocation . "?input=" . urlencode($rss),"r");

// ###################### Start output #######################
$response = fread($ff,40000);
fclose($ff);
$faqbot_time = time() + rand(1,5);    
$faqbot_message = "[QUOTE] " . $rss . " [/QUOTE]\r\n\r\n" . $response; 


any idea ?

Hmmm...

I tried using the subs.inc from the TomTalkerBot, but it really didn't seem to like that file either. Guess I won't install this.

[Prankster]

so i have found the problem but i dosent have a solution.

In my forum i post new threads with 50 000 characters.

The botit does not work, because it too many characters.

i will use the bot with key words.

!Which are Faq

it is to look in the text for the search words and react only if the search word is present

do you have a solution for this problem ?

i don`t wont delte the hack , because he is very fine
