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.

woohoo great mate, i know this will be a hit

1 question

If we have already v1 installed by
Rapid Gaming

where do we start on your version or do we have to reinstall? May be add that to the install txt

[rob_daemon]

I'm having a few slight problems... first off, can you please share what is supposed to be in the `bots` table? I read about the ID having to be 0, yet I don't have any rows in that table....

Next, I get this error (related?):

[leozh]

Your directions about the forum.php file are a little off, as the line with the vbphrase is a bit different now.

But otherwise, it seems to be working fine.

[SB2002]

Yeah i was just about to post something like that, where is that line now, as i cannot find it for the life of me

[Moonlight]

There is an error regarding the Show Random Smilie option in the code. It is currently using the $botquotepost variable.

Line 88 should be replaced by:

PHP Code:

if ($botuserandsmile== "1") { 


Since you removed the $topicids settings, line 55 can be deleted.

[assassingod]

Did you ask the original creator (and original vB3 port creator) if you could release this?

[leozh]

Oh, and also, there is still a bug with the bot replying multiple times to replies which didn't go through due to the time between posts limit.

you meantioned about the vbphrase line in forum.php being different now, i don't suppose you could give me the line number for the line then could you, because i cannot bloody well find it at all.

thanks

[leozh]

Ah, sorry, didn't see your post.

Line 168 should be where it is.
