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.

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 am assuming the script is where it is supposed to be?

Ok did you upload the files as they are in the zip in this thread, If you did then you are pointing your browser to the wrong place.

And it may be easier to help with a proper url (unless you have something to hide)

Thanks for your reply Phill...

As far as I can tell I have followed the instructions with the mod to the letter.. so far....

I've pm'ed you with the proper url



one thing though... the botloader.php isnt in:

alice/aiml/

its in alice/source/admin

as it is in the archive i dloaded...

[hotwheels]

steveoh uk, are you using cpanel? If you are, go to your botloader.php file and click on it, over on the right handside of the page, it will show the address to the botloader.php file, just click on the link and it should take you to the botloader upload.......

If you do it by address, is your forum id, www.xxxxxx.com/forum or www.xxxxx.com/forums? if it is www.xxxxxxx.com/forum, you will need to type in http://www.xxxxxx.com/forum/alice/so.../botloader.php or http://www.xxxxxx.com/forums/alice/s.../botloader.php

everything else looks right............

how do you chmod?

I want him to be able to ban a user automatically for using a certain word or posting too many times in a row.

Also, how can i get him to post random tips/quotes in each of his posts?

Appreciate help.

How to chmod

You can specify certain words not allowed in posts in admincp >> Censorship Options.

There is a learning addition which Tim may be able to help you with.

@ Hotwheels... clicked the link in cpanel and it worked... the url to my botloader was:

http://www.xxxxx.com/forums/alice/sr.../botloader.php the admin has been missing all along...
pheeew.. thanks for your help Hotwheels and Phill2003.... ya got me through it eventually... So far anyways... im not so sure abou the php part....

The bot id needs adjusting to 0 from 1.. in my php by admin I see:

field -id
type - tinyint
lenght - 3
collation -
attributes - unsigned
null - not null
default2 -

Any one help... i can see light at the end of the tunnel now..

Hi Guys

After finally being able to install this onto the forums the only response i get from the bot is:

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

Anyone else experienced this and been able to fix it?

Happens occasionally on mine when the bot has no reasonable response to add.
