Website: www.extremechatforums.com
Original: by: C-birch

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.

Sorry new version was delayed for a bit due to first off all the problems with allowing htl only hacks and such. I will look to get it out latter this week.

Platinumgamer · #**123** 01-29-2004, 09:57 PM

Hi,

I've just installed this hack on vB3 RC3 and after following the instructions to a "T," I can't get the bot to reply at all...any thoughts on this? I saw a reply above that mentioned "Percentage of Bot Reply"...I've added the phrase as per the instructions, but as yet have not seen anywhere that this is used. Anyone have any thoughts on this, or know what the problem is?

Thanks,

-PG

Do i need phpmyadmin?
What is that?

Run the SQL file that is inside the sql folder in phpmyadmin

Can i just run them manually through the admin panel?

C.Birch · #**126** 01-30-2004, 08:48 PM

change //web//sites//extremechatforums.com//public_html//www//forum//alice//aiml/startup.xml

to your absolute directory path in dbprefs.php (/alice/src/admin/dbprefs.php I believe)...ex: /home/username/public_html/forum/alice/aiml/startup.xml

Edit: C.Birch or ExtremeTim, any thoughts on my issue posted above?

Where in the forum permissions can I set where the bot shall reply to?
I just can't seem to find that.

That would be in _talkerbot.php right underneath:

Code:

// ### Start User Editing ###
// Forum IDs that bot will monitor posts in (* = all forums)
// Note the bot will post in all forums in this list if you are not using chance of post.
// With chance of post if you set it to 0 but have the forum in this list the bot will not post in it but will learn from the thread.

Unrelated -- I'd still like a response to my question, ExtremeTim...
