Website: www.extremechatforums.com

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.

Whats new in 2.5.0?
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 )

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

Hmmm, mine did that as well for a bit, but I think it went away when I finally got all that data into the DB. I cant really remember doing anything else to fix it lol, but are you sure the folders are CHMOD'd correctly and the path is correct in the config file?

Actually I still get the cannot connect to the database error from the bot sometimes, it seems like it happens when I ask it lengthy questions, when I simplify sentences I have the best luck with it.

Triple checked the CHMOD on all the files and folders.

As for the path in the config file, I don't appear to have a config file. There's no mention of one in the readme from the zip either.

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.

try this https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=882 and read this thread again, tell us again the result

I used to be now I am using hastyhost.com and loving it. Dreamhost is a scam anyways - try and near their so called limits and they shut down your site

Many other better options out there


STILL WAITING FOR AN UNINSTALL FOR THIS MOD. I want a small database again

Yeah i don't have that option on my server ..... had to spend an entire night installing my own copy of PHP onto my server account just so i could try this..... result, not working LOL

It appears to be a linking linking issue now, that has been discussed here before. The recommendation for this, was to edit the "bdprefs" When ever i do this though, no matter how i put the links in... NOTHING works, not the install, the testing, nothing. I just get blank pages.

Yeah actually i'm on dreamhost.... maybe you'll have better luck than I did getting it to work. But i can tell you either you need to know how to recode this hack to use CURL commands, or you will need to do like i did, and install your own copy of PHP so you can turn the command on. Dreamhost will not turn it on for you....... PM me if you want to try it though, i can give you the links and some help installing PHP,on that server, if you need it

Man I've been having a hell of a time getting it to work... I'd really appreciate it, if you could tell me how you set the "dbprefs".. if you had to edit them at all I was beginning to think it might be on the servers end.... but if you have it working i must be wrong LOL

[Snider]

STILL WAITING ON AN UNINSTALL - Please provide this support. I also have PM'd you without any help thus far - is this mod still supported here ?

[ok awesome]

I'm having weird problems with this one. It's installed and works, but it's phrasing and punctionation are always messed up.

What were we talking about again?
OK Let's talk about you.Are we still talking about he or she'm all good with Shawn?
I get it. Brad you gotta give CASF the introduction you
won't post a lot but when he does on just about any subject it's going to be $$$.I haven't heard anything like that before:
said approve.

It has random carriage returns and bad spacing and punctuation. Anyone else have this problem?

Here's another:

Spurs in 4. Do it. Do it.
