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 have sports and news rss feeds active on my site and the talkerbot does not respond to them. Is it possible to change that so the bot responds to those posts as well?

Thanx

How do you completely uninstall this hack?

I need to test things, and am awaiting v3

Thanks.

Hi Tim...This is now causing an issue with (non bot) posting
When a post is submitted the forum will hang, it posts the post no probs but it just hangs, I have turned the bot off and its fine again!

Any ideas please?

I've asked that 3 times now, will be patient

[hotwheels]

you need to get rid of the files in your forums database, where ever you have that installed, then uninstall the product.......then go to your phpmyadmin and get rid of:

bot
bots
conversationlog
dstore
gmcache
gossip
patterns
templates
thatindex
thatstack and vbbots

and that should do it......

Romeo i got it........I recieve no error of any sort now, and found a typo in the code.

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.

I was having the same problem and it did fix my database error. Now the only other thing I can't figure out is that everytime I load my botloader, it does not populate my database. I have tried about 16 times, but no luck, do you have a pointer for me on that? And how does the botloaderinc.php work for loading them individually?

Thanks much,

Can you show me here, what happen's after you run the botloader? That way i can get an idea of what to look for? Sorry if it is posted in here somewhere, just haven't had time to reread the pages.

Also, do you have access to your phpmyadmin? If so, look and see if you see the word bot on the left hand side in your database. This is where the .xml will appear, and you can name your bot and basically give him somewhat of a personality.

Then make sure all of your files are set to chmod 0777 at alice, and and all of the subfolders and the files.......every file inside of alice need's 0777. After running the botloader.php, you should see pattern and template inside your phpmyadmin, where the bot's response's are stored.

it say 0 files have been upload to data base. Here is my dbprefs.php

# This is where all the AIML and startup.xml resides
$rootdir= "/xxxxxxx/xxxxx/xxxxx/jaxdoug.com/httpdocs/forums/alice/aiml/";

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

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

Of course I X'd out the rest of my path and database information.

Thanks,

Doug
