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. I will also be seeing about porting over the teachbot soon.

Some New Features
acp controlled Rate Of Post
ability to post as bot and he will not reply
post count will not go up in forums where post counts are turned off
a few options to turn off and on a few things including the script itself.
Some other stuff i just cant remember

Fixed in 2.0.2:
Go advanced feature works for quick reply.
Bot will no longer reply when post is stopped becuase of an error. (aka floodlimit, to many images, ect)

Fixed in 2.0.1:
Fixed a few minor problems including using the wrong variable in the if statement for the random smilie check.
fixed the install.txt problem used a find code that was from one of my modifications sorry about that.

Upgrading From v2.0.1 Instructions:
These are in the v202 upgrade file

Upgrading From v2.0.0 Instructions:
To upgrade from v2.0 just make your changes to the new _talkerbot.php file and replace the old v2.0 one.


Upgrading From v1 Instructions:
Just use the install.txt and do the forum.php in the acp directory edits.
Add the new phrase and run the query.


Todo List:
Move all settings to acp settings page
fix the floodcheck problem of bot still replying when users post is not made.
Clean up the code more
Figure out more stuff todo.

o.O I'm a little lost, is it supposed to say "Loading startup.xml" Through out the whole thing?

[Gio Takahashi]

I figured out the problem, I ran into a similar problem in vB3.

For those who gets the problem that just says "Loading startup.xml" throughout the whole process just add this line

dl("xml.so");

Anywhere in dbprefs.php, and that should work

(preferably the end before the "?>" part)

[Osterling]

does anyone know how to make your bot show up as online?

[Blaine0002]

i see this dosent work with rc4.... because whenever i post ANYwhere it says

"invalid thread or forum specified" or whatever..

[Scrub]

It works with RC4. .

[Blaine0002]

well then why do i get that error?

[Blaine0002]

nm.. i just reuploaded the files and it works .L:P

[Scrub]

Maybe you need to reupload the files?

[SmasherMaster]

U hoh....My host won't allow openbase_dir to be unrestricted, is there ANY way to allow the bot to install without triggering the restriction? PLEASE HELP ME! =<

[FoxFire2]

How do I run the sql file in phpmyadmin? As in what do I type? I've ran queries before but I don't know how to execute files.

[SmasherMaster]

You use the browse to file on your computer (you must have extracted the sql dir from the talkerbot zip) and then select the DB file from the sql dir and then you can execute it.

Mike

[C.Birch]

its your server settings, the server is timeing the files out before they get to fully run.

[Mike_XBLW]

Any idea on how to fix this? or get it loaded another way?
Never mind...I took out the set_time_limit lines....also for the timeout, I deleted the aiml files that already installed and ran again...seems to be loading fine now

[Mike_XBLW]

Well, it was going good...now it won't load any of the aiml files...I got a huge way down the list....so, I reinstalled them all...and it still won't load
