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.

AHHH, didn't see that!! Thanks a LOT!! I set it to 100, from 0 and not it's working..

I looked for a setting someplace, but didn't think of going there..

does this work with 3.0.7?

kylek · #**334** 04-15-2005, 12:12 AM

I have it installed on vb3.0.6 and the only problem I have is the new thread. Go to start a new thread, submit, this sql error pops up,

Database error in vBulletin 3.0.6:

Invalid SQL: SELECT threadid FROM post WHERE postid=4249
mysql error: Table 'vbulletin.post' doesn't exist

mysql error number: 1146

Date: Thursday 14th of April 2005 08:54:33 PM
Script: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/forum/newthread.php
Referer: xxxxxx
Username: xIP Address: xxxxxxxxxx

After hitting back button it shows the new thread post but no reponse from Bot. However any posts added after the initial one works fine and the bot responds to all.
I use a vb3_ prefix for my database so vbulletin.post should be vb3_ post which does exist.
Where do I look to change this, seems it is only in new thread.php
Anyone have any suggestions?

In your _talkerbot.php file, find:

PHP Code:


			
        $tinfo = $DB_site->query_first("SELECT threadid FROM post WHERE postid=$newpost[postid]");
        $threadinfo[threadid] = $tinfo[threadid];
    }
    $pinfo = $DB_site->query_first("SELECT max(postid) as pid FROM post WHERE threadid={$threadinfo[threadid]}");

And replace by:

PHP Code:


			
        $tinfo = $DB_site->query_first("SELECT threadid FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "post WHERE postid=$newpost[postid]");
        $threadinfo[threadid] = $tinfo[threadid];
    }
    $pinfo = $DB_site->query_first("SELECT max(postid) as pid FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "post WHERE threadid={$threadinfo[threadid]}");

You will find this 2 times in that file, it has to be replaced 2 times.

PS I don't have this mod installed, so it is untested!

kylek · #**336** 04-15-2005, 08:45 AM

Thanks MarcoH64,
Replaced both times in talkerbot.php and the same database error is still popping up (same one in last post) after starting a new thread, error shows - click refresh, proceeds to show first post in thread, then everything works after that just fine. Must be something in the newthread.php but with my lack of knowledge I do not know what to look for.

Marco van Herwaarden · #**337** 04-15-2005, 09:10 AM

Confused now because those 2 places are the only ones where this query is being used i think.

Can you please post the EXACT error you are getting now?

Here it is, when I go and make a new thread and submit it this is the error;

There seems to have been a slight problem with the Okanagan Watch Forums database.

Above problem has been fixed with a big bouquet of thank yous to MarcoH64, the end result was operator error, I had ended up with two talkerbot.php files and had done the changes MarcoH64 posted in the wrong one. Since correcting the right one everything works fine now.

Do you have your rootdir in dbprefs.php set correctly?

PHP Code:


			
# This is where all the AIML and startup.xml resides

$rootdir="//home//reviewga//public_html//forums//alice//aiml/";
