Hack By: Tim (eXtremeTim) Yarbrough
Website: www.extremechatforums.com
Original: by: C-birch
Credits: Rapid Gaming (for porting it to vb3)

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.

Alrighty, I finally have the bot working. For future refferance I had to totally remove the vbprefix code from my database and forums in order for the Talker Bot to work.

Great hack! He's a bit stupid at first, but it's fun!
/me Clicks Install

BTW, Do you think you could explain the learning system? :devious:

Okay ive been mucking around and I cant seem to resolve this error I am getting.

Warning: file_get_contents(http://www.nytalk.net/board/alice/s...t+is+to+be+here): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/nytalk/domains/nytalk.net/public_html/board/_talkerbot.php on line 82

---

All my files are chmod to 777 and the talker.php file seems to work okay by itself.

[weaver]

I'm getting the same error that you are. It just started a few days ago but had been working completely fine until then. There doesn't seem to be any support at the other site so I'm on the brink of uninstalling because of this error.

[Reeve of shinra]

Out of curiosity, which version of vb are you using snobbymom? I am trying this out on vb3.0.1

[Lugnut]

I just installed this but the bot it's not posting. I modified my mySQL tables to add a prefix to vb3. I also want to add a prefix to the talkerbot. How would I get this to work with my forum. I'm a novice at php/mysql.

[jcr]

I have a rather strange problem.

When posting in the forum i have set the talkerbot to reply, i get the message : "mydatabase.post does not exist", of course it does not, post is callled vb3_post, but where can I change so that it writes to vb3_post instead of post?

[Intex]

Can someone confirm that this works on 3.0.1?

[Reeve of shinra]

From what I know, no one using 3.0.1 has been able to get the hack to work correctly.

[CreedFeed]

I've installed it on 3.0.1 and it only replys to the first post of a thread. I'm trying to figure out why right now.

[CreedFeed]

Ok I made the following change to _talkerbot.php and it works now. I'm not responsible if this blows up your server though.

==========
Find the following in _talkerbot.php
==========

|| ($threadinfo["id"]!=""))

==========
Change this to
==========

|| ($threadinfo['threadid']!=""))

[Intex]

CreedFeed - good job. So did you just follow the basic installation and then just make the changes above to get it to work on 3.0.1?
