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

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 )

okay, looking at what you have posted, all of the $DB needs to stay original and no changes made there........the only changes that need to be made are in your

$rootdir= "/xxxxxxx/xxxxx/xxxxx/jaxdoug.com/httpdocs/forums/alice/aiml/";

require('xxxxxx/xxxxxx/xxxxx/jaxdoug.com/httpdocs/forums/includes/config.php');

files and it should look like this:

$rootdir= "/httpdocs/forums/alice/aiml/";

require('/httpdocs/forums/includes/config.php');

Or what ever the exact path is to your forums directory.......you shouldn't need the dot com in the path.

You should be able to find the exact root if you go to your vbulletin admincp, scroll down to maintenance, and then your php info, look for PHP Variables and then _SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"].

Then run

http://www.yourdomain.co.uk/forums/a.../botloader.php

and not botloaderinc.php

and if you need a fresh dbprefs file, I attatched one

Actually that is the correct root /xxxx/xxxxx/vhosts/jaxdoug.com/httpdocs

Doug

[hotwheels]

okay..........set that in the

$rootdir= "/xxxxxxx/xxxxx/xxxxx/jaxdoug.com/httpdocs/forums/alice/aiml/";

require('xxxxxx/xxxxxx/xxxxx/jaxdoug.com/httpdocs/forums/includes/config.php');

but don't make any changes to the original

$DB_HOST=$config['MasterServer']['localhost'];
$DB_UNAME=$config['MasterServer']['xxxxx'];
$DB_PWORD=$config['MasterServer']['xxxxx'];
$DB_DB=$config['Database']['xxxxxx'];

Just leave it like

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

and in this line

require('xxxxxx/xxxxxx/xxxxx/jaxdoug.com/httpdocs/forums/includes/config.php');

make sure you have the "/" at the very front, like this

require('/xxxxxx/xxxxxx/xxxxx/jaxdoug.com/httpdocs/forums/includes/config.php');

Problem solved. I had my database name, username and password in the dbprefs file, I put them back to the original lines and the botloader worked fine, some 43000 entrys made into the database.

That was the part I just didn't understand, it probably should be noted in the dbprefs file not to change the database information to yours.


Thanks for you kind help and patience.

patterns
templates
thatindex
thatstack and vbbots

and that should do it......

Aren't some of those tables being used by vBulletin? Don't like fiddling with my DB, is there no unistall option for this mod?

no, all of vb code in your database are written as vbwhatever the name is......if you have cpg, it will be cpg123, etc...

I deleted this from my database when i first installed this mod, i ran into some issue's with the original code......my suggestion should get rid of all of the talkerbot coding.....

and there is no uninstall code that i am aware of at this point.....but tim will have to answer that one. I can only answer what i did within my database.

If you open the one's that i suggested in your phpmyadmin, and say you click on the word bot, you should then be able to click on the word browse, and you will see the .xml file's for the bot....If you do this to each of the suggested delete's, everyone has the bot id in it.

Holy Crap! You've done it man! Thankyou so much! I appreciate all the help and time you've spent! Watching it for a little while with users but seemed ok with my test......

I bet it works "this" time.....and anyone that was recieving the mysql error, should try this php file and see if it get's rid of the error and helps your bot to start functioning.
