Improved the code in various spots.
Fixed sloppy coding issues that remained from the original version of the hack.

Start of php 5 compatibility fixes
Query errors
ajax cosmetics issue (should be fixed now but if not please let me know)
quite a few minor random things.

Whats new in 2.2.3?

Fixed a few bugs (didnt fix the php 5.1 issues yet till i have time to make sure they dont have an undesired effect)
Added code to make bot show up online.
Made bot show up as last poster correctly.
Fixed table prefix issue

Whats new in 2.2.2?

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 )

Perhaps I am overlooking something or it is a mistake on my part, though when the bot replies, it does not update the last post information, so the post appears to be a mystery when viewing the last post column.

[Edit: When rebuilding the forum info, it shows the last post as correct, so the forum information isn't being rebuilt when a reply is being made]

I was running this on a former version of vbulletin. Since upgrading to vb 3.6.1 I too get absolutely no response from the bot. I've checked and double checked everything and am 99.9% sure I set it up correctly. My bots table is also empty.

Thanks,

Tim

(Did you upload the ewt_talkerbot.php?)


There is a nice Aiml-Editor downloadable over there:

http://www.gaito.de/content/aiml/default.asp

But it's still beta ... and likes to crash sometimes. It is good for testing aiml-files if they are valid and for testing responses.

@bigtime: My installation is on 3.6.1 and it is working just fine, however, as stated previously, the last post is not "indexed" so to speak, rather, it's not updated when a post is made by the bot.

Run over the installation instructions once more and check to see if you missed anything.

[bashy]

Just had this....

A members posted this "what a shame, Schumacher has been a true great, hope he wins the championship to round off a truly wonderful career."

then the bot posted this

"shame, Schumacher has been a true great, hope he wins the championship to round off a truly wonderful career is a shame, Schumacher has been a true great, hope he wins the championship to round off a truly wonderful career."

Any thoughts on this please, would rather not have a parrot!! lol

Thanks for the link. I had come across that before in my searching for some AIML files but I did not realize that the beta was a free download.

New weekend toy to play with.

Hello,

I can't seem to get the," Run http://www.satreactor.com/forum/alic.../botloader.php this can take a good 30 min because it runs 300,000 queries", to work.

All I get is,"Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@satreactor.com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.
More information about this error may be available in the server error log.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request."

The Talkerbot does post already but only says,"Im sorry but I was not able to form a reply right now".

My setup in dbprefs.php

$rootdir= "/usr/home/satreact/domains/satreactor.com/public_html/forum/alice/aiml/";

require('/usr/home/satreact/domains/satreactor.com/public_html/forum/includes/config.php');

$DB_HOST=$config['MasterServer']['servername'];
$DB_UNAME=$config['MasterServer']['username'];
$DB_PWORD=$config['MasterServer']['password'];
$DB_DB=$config['Database']['dbname'];


Thanks for you help and support...

Internal server error is proble cuased by your server not allowing public 777 chmod. So chmod only subs.inc in the admin dir and you should be fine.

I've gone ahead and added code to the ewt_talkerbot.php file that will (1) update the forum counters, (2) put the bot into the "who's online" list and update the bot's user info (3) fix the double quoting

Underneath of

PHP Code:

define ("MY_VERSION", "TALKERBOT v2.2 FOR VBULLETIN 3.5 and 3.6 by eXtremeTim"); 


add the following function:

PHP Code:

function update_bot_info()
{
    global $vbulletin;
    
    require_once('./global.php');
    require_once('./includes/functions.php');
    $userinfo = fetch_userinfo($vbulletin->options['ewt_talkerbot_botuid']);

    // if the bot is already in the session table, update it, otherwise add it        
    $vbulletin->db->query_write("UPDATE ".TABLE_PREFIX."session SET lastactivity = '". TIMENOW ."' WHERE (userid = '".$vbulletin->options['ewt_talkerbot_botuid']."')");
    if ($vbulletin->db->affected_rows() == 0)
    {
        $ip = rand(25,160).".".rand(30,250).".".rand(3,250).".".rand(10,250);
        $vbulletin->db->query_write("INSERT INTO ".TABLE_PREFIX."session (userid,lastactivity,host) VALUE ('".$vbulletin->options['ewt_talkerbot_botuid']."',".TIMENOW.",'$ip')");
    }

    $userdata =& datamanager_init('User', $vbulletin, ERRTYPE_STANDARD);
    $userdata->set_existing($userinfo);
    $userdata->set('lastactivity', TIMENOW);
    $userdata->set('lastvisit', TIMENOW - 1);
    $userdata->save();
} 


Then towards the bottom there are two different if staments that look like:

PHP Code:

                    if (!$dataman->errors) // should not occur
                    {
                        $dataman->save();
                                            } 


And make them both look like as follows:

PHP Code:

                    if (!$dataman->errors) // should not occur
                    {
                        $dataman->save();
                        require_once('./includes/functions_databuild.php'); 
                        build_forum_counters($foruminfo["forumid"]);
                        update_bot_info();
                    } 


To fix the double-quoting, find two lines that look like:

PHP Code:

        if ($vbulletin->options['ewt_talkerbot_quotemsg'] == "1")
        { 


And right below it add the follow code:

PHP Code:

        $post['message'] = strip_quotes($post['message']);
