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.

I have not had time to look at his problem with much detail yet. But if you both are not for the rootdir variable in dbprefs.php make sure your using the absolute path not your domain path or any ../ paths.

Yea thats what it is. I ended up just calling my host and having them chmod everything in alice to 777. Took like one min and it fixed the issue.

[eXtremeTim]

Glad you got it fixed.

Well, I thought i'd give it a try on RC3

If I go here

http://www.tomshawk.com/forums/alice/src/talk.html

and post something, it works, but, If I post from within the assigned board, it doesn't work.

No replies, no nothing

Any ideas?

Nevermind, it started working

I had to change the percentage of reply, it was set to 0, I had changed it to 1, That didn't work, I raised it to 100, For testing, It works now

[tomshawk]

Well, It's working on posts, I just cant reply to him

I tryed bth reply buttons and the quick reply, in all instances I get this error

Invalid SQL: SELECT postid, username, pagetext FROM post WHERE postid IN() AND postid <> 578 ORDER BY postid ASC
mysql error: You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ') AND postid <> 578 ORDER BY postid ASC' at line 1

Thoughts?

Clicks install

[eXtremeTim]

Make sure you have setup all the variables correctly in the _talkerbot.php file.

Like i said tho the bots table is empty for me and you should have like around 30 entries in the bot table.
Is it just not replying? If thats the case do the following
open admin cp
go to the forum manager
edit the forum you want to allow the bot to post in
set the rate of bot posting this number is a percent just without the %. 0 will disable him from posting in that forum.
