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.

Cleanup of the code to allow better support for php5 users.
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 )

Yes, this is a great modification.

Thanks and I'll keep all of you posted on my success or failure with this mod.

Cheers.

Yes , it is a great mod , but DONT upgrade !

We all have bots that wont learn anything , if yours is working fine and you upgrade you will end up with a bot with no learning ability.

As long as you are aware of this , feel free to upgrade.

I think tim must create txt file in zip package or in description above for troubleshooting and the sollution


this is troubleshooting and sollution from me




1. i get this error message


Warning: file_get_contents() [function.file-get-contents]: URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration in /ewt_talkerbot.php on line 55

Warning: file_get_contents(http://www.domain.com/alice/src/talk.php?vbid=3&input=robot+where+are+you%3F++come +back) [function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: no suitable wrapper could be found in /ewt_talkerbot.php on line 55


sollution :
this is because your host not actived allow_url_fopen

so open your php.ini then add this line

allow_url_fopen=on










2. i cannot complete aiml loading in http://www.yourdomain.com/forums/ali.../botloader.php



sollution :
i am not sure, maybe you need someone that have high internet access to load it
anyone want to add this troubleshooting?
my internet access just 64Kb sharing and i just can complete 75% from aiml but the bot can talk too. my robot here is here Aku Robot

Yes, i am putting in my website name.

I uploaded all of the bits to the right place. I think it may have something to do with the names of my folders? the full name of the alice folder is /public_html/alice/src/admin/ but when i try this it also doesn't work.

Greetings,

This seems like a very interesting mod. I've been trying to install it on my forum, but alas, it can't seem to get through botloader.php.

I get as far as:

Loading startup.xml
Loading data aiml file: 1.aiml
Loading data aiml file: 2.aiml
Loading data aiml file: 3.aiml
Loading data aiml file: 4.aiml
Loading data aiml file: 5.aiml
Loading data aiml file: 6.aiml
Loading data aiml file: 8.aiml
Loading data aiml file: 9.aiml
Loading data aiml file: A.aiml
Loading data aiml file: B.aiml
Loading data aiml file: C.aiml

before the page stops responding/loading, and shows as 'done'.

Any idea's?

[jerseyda6]

Mine kept stopping at H. I finally decided to show it who was BOSS, so I opened my FTP and then deleted folders A through H. Then I ran botloader again in the browser. It picked up at I and went 6 or 7 more folders, then stopped again. So I went back into FTP and deleted folders "I" through say, "O". Ran botloader again in the browser, and it picked up at the P folder, did 6 or so more, then stopped again. So back into FTP, delete folders P through wherever it stopped, repeat same process. Try it, it will work.

uninstall available yet ?

Thanks for the tip!

Tried it, but now when I get to the "http://www.mysite.com/forums/alice/src/talk.html" and type something, it just goes to a blank page.

Getting the "I can't connect to my database" reply in the forum as well.

I know this has been an issue for several people trying to run the talkerbot on VB, when there server has the option of "get_file_content" turned off.

Just wondering if anyone has a fix for this yet?

From what I understand, you can use CURL commands instead. I've tried this, and just get Pharse errors.

I'm running the Talker Bot Hack v2.5.0 verson (if that helps). As I said I've tried to change the command in the "ewt_talkerbot.php" file. but can't seem to get it to work right. Perhaps some one here might know if I need to change something else as well?

I do have this running on my test board (on a different server) and this is an awesome hack, unfortunately it's just not on the board i want it to be on hehehe. IF some one could just tell me the files that need editing to get this to work right, I'm sure I can figure out the codeing (hint hint @ the developer ) If i can get this to work right, I'd be glad to share the code changes needed.
