Website: www.extremechatforums.com

What This Hack Does.

This hack add a userlike bot to your forums. You can set which forum he will post in and how often he will reply to poeples posts. He will try and build his replies off the text that they posted. This bot will learn overtime slowly from your users posts.

Whats new in 2.5.0?
Cleanup of the code to allow better support for php5 users.
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
Improved bots sanity
Fixed alot of stuff.

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 removed the program from my database without an uninstaller:

I removed the program.
Next, in phpadmin, I located and dropped the following table created and that resolved my problems. Hope this helps!

bot
bots
conversationlog
dstore
gmcache
gossip
patterns
templates
thatindex
thatstack
vbbots

Thanks Lefthome , I will give it a couple of weeks and if there is no update I am going to remove it. Members have lost interest in it as it cant remember anything more than a day old.

dang this looks like such a great install... but with all the problems people have had I am not willing to put it on my forum

what's bad is it would be loads of fun considering my sites content

oh well... what can ya do though :\

[inbrissy]

This is a fun hack, but like so many people here are saying its not very useful since it can't learn.

It would be an excellent automated help bot if you could make it learn stuff. Even if it was a manual process to add things it would be better then it is now.

At the moment its just a novelty thing that keeps people amused for about 5 minutes.
I've got it installed still, but I think I'll disable it until we can make it learn a few things.

Tim if you're there mate, please give people access to the learning system. Even if its hard to install, it will be better then nothing at all. I think you'll find people will be happier with your hack even if its hard to install then to have a bot that just doesn't learn or do anything useful.

[Yukino_AE]

Tim please come back! lol I want my bot to work!

I'm getting the same issue with my bot responding with:

I was not able to connect to my database. Please try again later.

Is there still something like this TalkerBot Add-on - Learning System https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=60429 ??

I know when i completey redid my forum that's when she started giving me that message as I deleted all the info on all the threads that she was selected to learn from. could this be why she is not working.

I would really like to know how to teach her stuff. ^_^ or have her learn.

come back Tim and help us all out. here.

It appears to be a linking linking issue now, that has been discussed here before. The recommendation for this, was to edit the "bdprefs" When ever i do this though, no matter how i put the links in... NOTHING works, not the install, the testing, nothing. I just get blank pages.



Yeah actually i'm on dreamhost.... maybe you'll have better luck than I did getting it to work. But i can tell you either you need to know how to recode this hack to use CURL commands, or you will need to do like i did, and install your own copy of PHP so you can turn the command on. Dreamhost will not turn it on for you....... PM me if you want to try it though, i can give you the links and some help installing PHP,on that server, if you need it

Hey treader


i think i found how to create your own php.ini even if you in shared hosting, this is for dreamhost and maybe for another host too so talkerbot hack working


i found this http://www.deltascripts.com/board/vi....php?pid=34745

they recommend this http://wiki.dreamhost.com/index.php/PHP.ini , i havent try this, but i will try it, let me know if you had try that too

[basketmen]

shit i still can not enable allow_url_fopen in my new host dreamhost, so my bot still can not speak anything and still get error Warning: file_get_contents()



i still not try create own php.ini like above post because it is very risk and difficult,



i still searching another way

i read here we can disable or enable it with htaccess

http://www.stevenroddis.com.au/category/it/programming/

.htaccess

php_flag allow_url_fopen off

i still try it and its not works
