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?

Cleaned up code a bit.

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 )

Not really in my humble opinion..........he talks a bunch of jibberish, and end's coversations with . and / etc........
Plus the thing doesn't learn........If you read in here that it does, then it's b.s.........I worked with this mod for a long time, and you can make certain changes in your aiml files, but as far as a bot that can actually have an intellegent coversation, no no no no.........Read back on some of my post's on this bot, in the beginning it was a great idea, but the fact that it can't learn how to post correctly, it's a waste of bandwidth..........


I still have it installed and have been trying to get the original coder's code to work as far as actually learning........but no go as of yet.. ExtremeTim claims to have it so it will learn, but i have yet to see a working version of that code. You can even check my post's at his site on this subject.

[eXtremeTim]

There is a working learner that I have been installing for people. I just haven't released it yet because people tend to botch the install of it.

[BobbyBig]

We disabled the bot because it is not learning.
If that is possible please let us know.

I am very good with php tim.............post up the learner.php and let some of us have a try.

The one you release a while back, never worked..........You even tried to install it for me and it wouldn't work.

Thanks for the reply Phill2003..

Tried it and still no joy... any other ideas?

I now have:

# This is where all the AIML and startup.xml resides
$rootdir= "/home/admin/public_html/forums/alice/aiml";

require
('/home/admin/public_html/forums/includes/config.php');

[phill2003]

The problem is you are not giving us much to work with in trying to help you

What error do you get when you try to load up the aim files.

[SteveOh_UK]
