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.

ok, i've spent a bit of time trying to get it to work for vb 3.5 RC2
I have it nearly completed, but now the bot isnt responding. Like it goes through everything but when it gets to call localhost/vb/alice/src/talk.php?vbid=2&input=adf+df+hey+guys+how+are+yall +i+fell+great+what+is+a+bot (this is an example post to the script) it gives back a blank page.
Can anyone please help me there?

I think it is maybe because I am testing it locally on a WINDOWS machine before I upload, and I wasnt able to tell if the bot compiles on a linux machine before it runs or what.

Any ideas?

[sensimilla]

is there a way the bot answers in correct english ?

me :

" Hi, Its friday the weekend is coming."

bot:

"Hi there . Again, Um,
:-) I think you mean "it's" or "it is" not "its". Who said
friday the weekend is coming is?"

will that bot learn something one day ? :nervous:

[b00k]

Went to install this and had my account suspended for a weee bit.. LOL

apparently they did not appreciate the 300,000 queries, is there another way around this?

I asked if they could run the script for me, they said no, find another way.

So any advice would be appreciated.

i posted this a few months ago and got no reply. after looking around i think i found the problem. the error i was getting was after every time i posted in the bot section on the redirecting page

Warning: file_get_contents(): URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in /_talkerbot.php on line 82

Warning: file_get_contents(http://www.mysite.com/forums/alice/s...&input=testing): failed to open stream: no suitable wrapper could be found in /_talkerbot.php on line 82

i found a post today that has this explaination

Anyone having this problem :

Warning: file_get_contents(): URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in /_talkerbot.php on line 82

Warning: file_get_contents(http://localhost/forum/alice/src/ta....ing+again...): failed to open stream: no suitable wrapper could be found in /_talkerbot.php on line 82

This mean your server doesn't have the PHP function allow_url_fopen = ON which will not allow you to get distant files such as xml or rss. Please contact your host regarding of the status of this function and if he can enables it.


ALSO PUT THIS AS PREREQUIREMENT FOR YOUR SCRIPT TO WORK:
allow_url_fopen must be ON, otherwise it won't allow you to get distant files.

i am with dreamhost, and apparently they set allow_url_fopen to OFF on all accounts because of security issues. http://wiki.dreamhost.com/index.php/Allow_url_fopen

they mention for some things you would use allow_url_fopen for, you can use CURL http://wiki.dreamhost.com/index.php/CURL which (along with php) is somthing i have no knowledge of at all.

my question now is, would it even be possible to make a few changes here and there to make this script work using CURL, without allow_url_fopen being on, or is there just no way to do it?

thanks

I got it installed and am anxiously waiting to see who tries to argue with it first.

Is there any way to create a couple minute delay in his response time?

I can't wait for a version to come out that installs through the Plugin or Product manager!
