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 )

I just looked at your setup some and you have your filepath in dbprefs.php wrong.

/home/aftersep/public_html/theforum

while your attempting to use

/home/public_html/theforum

Okay... I tried that earlier. You won't believe me and you shouldn't, but you can imagine my confusion as I am SURE I did and got the same error....

In any event, Cheers. Seems to be working properly now....

I must be on ignore...

Is there a way to run botloader.php outside of a browser? I can't get it to complete, and although my bot is working - it is very limited since I'm assuming it has never finished reading the AIML files.

im having probs i get this

Warning: require(home/djze/public_html/includes/config.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/djze/public_html/alice/src/admin/dbprefs.php on line 49

Okay... I do have the forum path changed to my forum directory correctly, same thing I was using before when it was working.

I also have file_get_contents disabled on my server for security reasons but we can use CURL, so that would be the best option for most people I believe.

As for it not working on PHP5 it was working before, I guess I'll just have to go through the code making changes also the way. Hope you can fix this soon though since a lot of people must be using PHP5.

Thanks

I had to upload a few files at a time - a couple MB worth at most to the AIML file. Then run botloaderinc.php.

Remove those files from your server then and add some more AIML files and repeat the process with botloaderinc.php.

Took a few minutes that way, but got them all loaded.

That is a problem to since some of the AIML files are to big my server times out halfway or even less of the way through when loading the files..

So I tried to shorten the files but that didnt work.

I only uploaded a couple of the big ones at a time. And make sure you are using botloaderinc - not botloader.

If that isn't working I am at a loss. sorry.

I intend to fix all the php5 issues soon.
