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 )

run this querey via the admincp compuforums.org

ALTER TABLE `forum` ADD `mimicbotrop` INT( 5 ) DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL ;

if you have a table prefix such as vb3_ you'll need to add that iinfront of the forum part like

ALTER TABLE `vb3_forum` ADD `mimicbotrop` INT( 5 ) DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL ;

So, are all of the people that installed and got it to work, running their sites on a dedicated server?

[Meta]

I don't think so. But i'm not shure i understand the problem well. We are on a virtual server with small budget.

If you get time-out-errors while importing the aiml-files (like us), you have to split the files into smaller files. We don't use the english-files. We use the german-standalone.aiml and a few selfmade and modified files which are much smaller then some of the english-files.

If we try to import the original-files we also get time-out-errors. So we do not. But we could by cutting them into smaller portions. If you do so, don't forget to define the new files in the startup.xml (if you do not use the * between the learn-tags in there.)

[unitedpunjab]

use botloaderinc.php instead of boatloader to load the files one by one

Tim, I can see me having some fun with this.

Got a little closer I guess, but got this error now:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: loadstartupinc() in D:\inetpub\bloodbanktalk\forum\alice\src\admin\bot loaderinc.php on line 60

[unitedpunjab]

change
$doneloading=loadstartupinc($fileid);
to
$doneloading=loadstartup($fileid);

[unitedpunjab]

Tim, you might want to include that in the instructions.

Thanks.
