quite a few minor random things.

Added code to make bot show up online.
Made bot show up as last poster correctly.
Fixed table prefix issue

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 )

As soon as my work load lightens up some I will get the demo of this back up as well as get a new version released. Support can still be found at http://www.extremewebtech.com/forums/ but do to my current work load I may be fairly slow to reply so sorry in advance.

I know many people have said they have problems with this. I am not sure why but it was a slam dunk for me. Someone posted the correct paths to put in and BAM it works great.

It took me about 20 minutes to get the whole thing up and running.

You can see it running live here.

It's very cool. I could not find the extra database teaching files but as you can see he runs pretty well.

I just need to figure out how to teach him certain things. I would like to add defs for some words. I would also like to edit his current responses. Not sure where they reside eg. His Favorite webite should be mine.


Great Mod. not as bad to install as people are making it out to be.

For everybody who is having trouble getting the bot to work I am back working on it and plan to start v3 from scratch tomorrow. I am also offering install services for $15.99 bucks per talkerbot install. Pm me to setup arrangments to get your bot installed.

Some peoples server setups might help inspire changes to be made under v3 to make it easier for everybody to use.

I also will hopefully be getting the demo site back up and running the bot in the next few days.

[uptil7000]

I have talkerbot up and running. This mod is the best thing since sliced bread. It went in easy and now I have it learning new things.

Tim helped on the last piece since I did not want to break what was already working. I will be teaching it slowly over the next few days so check back in and ask it some questions.

Thanks for the GREAT mod. My moderators are having a blast with it! I expect the users to follow once it's knows a little more.

[eXtremeTim]

Also I will be available to install the current custom learner setup for the bot. Contact me via PM for details.

Also work on v3 will begin in the next 12 hours.

[BigJimTheLug]

I have this running, too.

It has been great, but I need to teach it about investing, more philosophy, and better replies in general.

This works great on introduction threads, but it is horrible when thread start getting into "esoteric" information.

Great mod though.

You need to give it your filepath on the server you can get this from phpinfo.

admincp/index.php?do=phpinfo

Anyone?? I dont have a forum dir so I placed the ewt_talkerbot.php in my /public_html dir, everything is uploaded and the install went fine...

[eXtremeTim]

its a problem with your servers configuration

See if you can get your server host to turn on file_get_contents opening urls for now.
