quite a few minor random things.

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 )

can you show how to install this?

I've tried and it hasn't worked for me since and the support for this has been and is non-existent.

I made a phpfinfo.php file that displays all the server info, I made this file so that I could find out what the root directory is for the edit required in the dbprefs.php file. This file is not displaying though, is there any reason, or is the only cause for the file not to show up?

Thanks

Where in phpMyAdmin do we change the bot id to 0? I don't see any 0's in the bots table.

THE BEST MOD EVER!!!

Ok, I finally got this to work, but received a message of some kind. I think it is dealing with security issues.



Anyone know how I can fix this?

This is the message I got
"I was not able to connect to my database. Please try again later."

Can you post how you have your dbprefs.php file?

That would really help, thanks.

I want to add some bbcode before and after the bots response, like to make the robots text bold or a different color, how would I do this?

[BigJimTheLug]

Hey hsl.com,

This is how I have mine set:

My bot is running fine as far as I know. The only problem I have is that I cannot complete the botloader.php function. Probably, due to my server. However, the my bot does posts, but it says, "I cannot connect to the database."

Anyways, this is how I have mine configured:

# This is where all the AIML and startup.xml resides
$rootdir= "/home/yourusername/public_html/forums/alice/aim/";

require('/home/yourusername/public_html/forums/includes/config.php');


I believe yours is missing something in between home and /public_html/ on both parts of the script.

Try changing that and see what happens.
