Simplified the steps to get the bot working.
Improved the code in various spots.
Fixed sloppy coding issues that remained from the original version of the hack.

Whats new in 2.2.4?

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?

Cleaned up code a bit.
Fixed <br> problem
Improved bots sanity
Fixed alot of stuff.

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 )

require('/home/kyle/public_html/forum/includes/config.php');

Anything in the paths set wrong?

Someone please shoot me and put me out of my misery. For days have been trying to get this up and running, no matter what I did kept getting the 500 server error. Checked everything once, twice, many times but no go.

Don't know why but I was checking out my webhosts support forum when I see they have installed PHPSuExec on the serveers, from my laymans point of view this means you cannot chmod any more to 777, can only be 755.

After chmod Alice to 755 everything works and loaded fine. Just thought I would memtion this in case anyone else has this problem.

Off to find a gun,,,,,,,

Been stated by me a few times over the last few days. Some hosts dont allow 777 and in this case use 755.

Sorry that you missed them comments.

That's great info kylek..........sorry to hear bout your update, PHPSuExec should help keep your database secure, i believe.

And right below it add the follow code:

PHP Code:

        $botinput = strip_quotes($post["message"]);

am i missing something as far as the bot learning? My bot is only saying that which is in his core aiml files, he isn't remembering poster's, or post's.......I can go in and manually add a phrase, but that is reallly a pain in the butt....

has anyone got this talkerbot to actually learn anything?

[eXtremeTim]

Mine is picking up things slowly. He is a slow learner. I fixed the bug where he didnt correctly track conversations and things.

I also just released a new update which fixes a few issues and make the bot show up online correctly.

[hotwheels]

I will give er a shot tim.............I don't know alot about aiml, but is there anyway to get this mod to work with your code? botlearner

[eXtremeTim]

v3 will have its own teaching system built in. I might see about porting that up for now if i get some free time since I was already handed the rights to that code quite a while back.

[hotwheels]

right on tim...........I know you are freaking busy and i in know way am pushing, i think this is a neat mod.......

I am mostly intrigued with how this works and if i can help, let me know, even though i am by no means, a coder.
