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 )

Tim aint got nothin to teach that allows the bot to learn, i have been along the ride with this mod for almost a year now, and he doesn't have anything for it..........seem's what he is doing is sparking interest on certian (easily built mods), then tries to redirect all of the vborg peeps to his site listed above, hoping to get you to buy his um, mods.....

I personally had given him access to my system and he tried messing around with code he said should work, and it didn't do anything...........All this bot does at this point is take up space..........

Everything seems to work great except when i post i get this error on the "Thank you for posting, this will redirect you soon" screen



Warning: file_get_contents() [function.file-get-contents]: URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in /ewt_talkerbot.php on line 53

Warning: file_get_contents(http://***********/alice/src/talk.ph...testtestsetset) [function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: no suitable wrapper could be found in /ewt_talkerbot.php on line 53



EDIT: Another problem i just found was its not connecting to the database.

[anuanu]

OK i think i understand my problems now. It seems for that error you need "allow_url_fopen=on" some where...ive read both in .htaccess and php.ini

But on my website there are lot of .htaccess files and i cant find any php.ini file

As far as the "I cannot connect to the the database" thing, it seems that i need that allow_url_fopen=on added for it to work. Im talking to my provider to see if he can change that. Ill post back if i have any news.

[GamerJunk.net]

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

Anybody know how to fix that>

[Freak0204]

Yeah. Uninstall.

[OS Master]

The only way to make TalkerBot smarter is by more aiml files. They can be found at http://www.alicebot.org/downloads/sets.html

Then, you have to re-run alice\src\admin\botloader.php to update the database.

I don't get why so many people are complaining about the lack of ability for it to learn.

I installed this about 2 months ago and made absolutely no changes to any of the files, and it works exceptionally well. It now has the ability to associate my members with what vehicles they drive. I recently had a regular member just say hello to the bot and it replied by asking her about her cobra mustang. (which is what she drives)

I think what the problem is that you guys don't give it enough time to learn. It has to have frequent interaction with other members in order for it to learn. It learns very slowly, but it does learn quite well with no modifications made to any of the provided files. Also, if you isolate it to one forum it seems to work better.

[DevilzFan]

Well, after a month and a half of it not working, it's uninstalled. Too bad, could have been a fun toy.

[Mrdby]

so when is the update?
