[ABD] Forum AI v0.2.0

[kingphoenix]

Stellar ... the upgrade worked like a charm. No more undefineds. Great new admin panel.

All in all a fantastic update.

Thanks for deciding to release the update zemaj.

I'm off to tinker with the online status ...

EDIT: Update ... Things are working very well. No blank posts, no 'undefined' references in posts.

There are a few quirks:

1. The problem of the bot's responses showing up before the users' posts started occurring. I never had this problem before. I fixed it with the following in posting.php:

LOOK FOR:

Code: Select all

					iai_submit_post($iai_mode, $iai_id, $forum_id, $topic_id, $iai_post_id, $iai_topic_type, 1, 1, 1, 1, $bbcode_uid, str_replace("\'", "''", $iai_username), str_replace("\'", "''", $iai_subject), str_replace("\'", "''", $iai_message));
					iai_update_post_stats($forum_id, $topic_id, $iai_post_id, $iai_id);
				}
			}
			// END IAI response and entry to db

			//
			// END IAI system
			//

ADD BEFORE:

Code: Select all

			sleep (2);

The 2 second delay is not even noticable (at least not on this particular host) and it seems to have solved the problem.

2. I currently have the bot at 0% post rate with no tag words. One forum has override on at 100% (admin only forum) with use words. All other forums have no overrides and use words is not selected, yet the bot is posting in "unauthorized" forums. That is to say, it's posting where it should not be. This one I haven't figured out. Anyone have a clue?

Which file do i need to edit???


edit......... I am an idiot, i cant read!!! lol... posting.php

Haven't seen this. I also have it set to 0%, overridden in specific forums (at 50%) and i have noticed that it doesn't always resond to the tag words.

Ooh! Disaster, I've just noticed this on my forums.

Ok, extended for the Last Visit mod...

Here's another one...how about the Online/Offline mod?

Also, with the bot there could be an issue with using bbcodes in messages.

Example:

My message: (Text is white)
This is another test.

Her reply:
And another test is [color#ffffe3]This.

[:-D]

If you check in who is onlien the bot is not there! My members are like is it there or not?

Anyone know where to get male and/or female animated avatars suitable for the bot?

Thanks!

Aha! It appears i misunderstood the Forum Settings.

If you have 'Forum AI is active' set to yes the it will be active in ALL forums unless you set forum overide to be on with a percentage of 0 and Use Words set to off. I was under the impressions that 'Forum AI is active' was a big red switch On or Off

If you have 'Forum AI is active' set to no then you can specifically set it to be on for a forum by setting forum override to be on.

Guys, i was looking around my db trying to find ways of bringing the size down when i noticed that the iai_patterns table had two indexes defined for the one column.

PRIMARY PRIMARY 287818 id
id INDEX 287818 id

So in a moment of bravery (or stupidity ) i decided to remove the id INDEX (not the primary index!!) and low and behold it reduced the size of my db by over 3 meg!! with no obvious ill effects.

keep us updated on this, incase it has any ill effects in the long run

Yeah, please. I wouldn't mind trimming whatever off the DB.

So am I to understand that I'm supposed to set FORUM AI ACTIVE to NO, and then overide for one forum ... or ... set FORUM AI ACTIVE to YES and overide every forum except one?

Hmm ... not the way I thought it worked either, but off to give it a shot.

EDIT: Seems to be working. Even with AI ACTIVE set NO, it's still picking up the 100% overide. Guess it's a little red switch eh?

Thanks for the info netclectic.

This ONLINE MODS works great, but.....

I Forum AI is also an MODERATORS of several Sections, so she should have here MOD-Colors, S-MOD-Color onto the all Displays and not this normal BLUE from the MEMBERS !! How could this be fixed to change her Colors into MOD-Colors for example onto the following things:

- FORUM-Index
- Online Today !!
- Smartors Chatbox Display (onto INDEX)

And we forgot to add the AI into the WHO IS ONLINE Button ??? Everybody noticed this one ???


Second I still can't get my AI updating her profile with this STARTUP.XML - File !! Still empty I could ENTER what I want, but nothing is saved here !!

Hope some of you found really soon a way to fix this COLORS here !!

I got the online/offline images working in view topic for the AI. Can't exactly remember what I did, but will look it up and post. As I remember, it was simply adding:

Code: Select all

|| ($poster == 'your bot user name')

in viewtopic.php where the online check is made.
Will look into changing the colors, etc. for you.

[melindeth]

found it.

FIND:

Code: Select all

'POSTER_ONLINE' => (($postrow[$i]['user_session_time'] >= ( time() - 3600 )) && ($postrow[$i]['user_allow_viewonline'])) ? '<img src="' . $images['Online'] . '" alt="' . $lang['Online'] . '" title="' . $lang['Online'] . '" border="0" />' : '<img src="' . $images['Offline'] . '" alt="' . $lang['Offline'] . '" title="' . $lang['Offline'] . '" border="0" />',

INLINE AFTER:

Code: Select all

]['user_allow_viewonline'])

ADD:

Code: Select all

 || ($poster == 'your bot user name here')

Hope that helps

[LaZeR]

Not bad Ok that code works to make the bot show up in the individual forums above the topics. Now how to show in the Overall_Header menu selection "Who's Online.." listing?

Keep us informed if you found a way to fix this COLORS of the AI, the MOD, S-MOD, ADMIN or whatever people like to make her something special from other Members-Colors !!

[melindeth]

Looking at the code for viewonline.php, it will take some trickery to show the bot as online. The file uses sessions, so we could add the bot at the start or add it at the end of the list. Note that this doesn't take into account the admin panel....
