Hello all!

i have just downloaded, installed and configured BeBot and i confirm my positive feelings at using this bot: started@first also with a noobest like me in php and mysql
Well, there's just a problem: where're my members!!!!!
The bot add no members of the guild at start then everyone need to !join pgrp or invited, still we must speak always in pgrp and non in guildchat.
The top is:
Added (blank) Members, (blank) Removed. It seems to not finding us..the members of the org.
What could be this problem?
Does this cause we are in Anarchism governingform? (i read in php files it searches members but we are all anarchist....)

Tx,
Blast

Governing form should not matter, afaik. See that it is set to guildbot. Make sure you got the right guild-ID, watch for any error messages when starting and running the bot.

What you can do to help you debug this malfunction is to open your core/Roster.php file and find the code piece

function parse_org($dim, $id)
{
// Get the guild roster
$org = $this -> bot -> get_site("http://community.anarchy-online.com/org/stats/d/$dim/name/$id/basicstats.xml");
$faction = $this -> bot -> xmlparse($org["content"], "side");

it should be located around line 452 in the current SVN (which I am assuming you use)

change this to read:

function parse_org($dim, $id)
{
// Get the guild roster
$org = $this -> bot -> get_site("http://community.anarchy-online.com/org/stats/d/$dim/name/$id/basicstats.xml");
var_dump("http://community.anarchy-online.com/org/stats/d/$dim/name/$id/basicstats.xml");
$faction = $this -> bot -> xmlparse($org["content"], "side");

(ie you add the line var_dump("http://community.anarchy-online.com/org/stats/d/$dim/name/$id/basicstats.xml"); where indicated)

This should give you a line in the console when the bot starts updateing the roster stating where it is attempting to open the xml file. Open this URL in your browser and then restart your bot.

This does two things:
A) If the url doesn't give you the XML in your browser your guild_id isn't set right. Re-do that step from INSTALL_GUILDBOT.txt

B) It will make anarchy-online.com cache the xml and that should prevent it from timing out when the bot requests it. That is the workaround I used to get the memberlist when anarchy-online.com was busy.

This would be a bigger problem for bigger guilds as it would take anarchy-online.com longer to generate the needed XML as there are more members.

I hope this helps.

Are you using 0.3.3 or 0.3.svn?

Hmm.. I cannot see that any change has been made to the relevant modules for 6 months. Are you relaying between two guilds or relaying to private channel?

Note that !relay is set to 0 on restarts of bot.

I see now that the code for the 0.2-branch has been modified a bit. I'm quite a new contributor to BeBot so I am not quite sure if this fix will work:

Open your file modules/Relay_GUILD.php and find the constructor. It should look like

    /*
    Constructor:
    Hands over a referance to the "Bot" class.
    */
    function Relay (&$bot)
    {
        $this -> bot = &$bot;
    }

and change it to read:

    /*
    Constructor:
    Hands over a referance to the "Bot" class.
    */
    function Relay (&$bot)
    {
        $this -> bot = &$bot;
        $this -> start_relay($this -> bot -> botname);
    }

This will call the start_relay() function with the bot as the executor of the command and should as far as I can tell start the bot by default.

If you get an error with this fix change $this -> bot -> botname to "Admin"

I hope this fix works. Note that I have not tried this myself, nor have I experienced this problem with BeBot the brief time I had 0.2.11 running.

The reworked relay module is designed for 0.3.x so I'm not surprised you have problems.

You can try the relay_guild here: http://bebot.link/index.php/topic,648.0.html for 0.2.x, this has a switchable option for relay on startup, make sure you have also installed the other necessary modules quoted on that page and it should work fine.  The code isn't as nice looking as the 0.3.x one but it works fine.

Btw, a lot of modules are configured to use GC or /tell only, you'll need to be more specific about which ones don't work as this is most likely working as intended.

Hmm.  This is most strange, it sees the org members online so I guess that means the guild ID is correct and it's pulling in the roster ok.  Does this happen with all members on Guildchat or a select few ppl?  Does it relay what you say in the private group to guild chat now you installed the newer module?

Bebot 0.3.x is a "bleeding edge" build and I wouldn't recommend it as a beginners build.  Even I don't use it as I don't trust anything with Natu as main coder ;-p  But seriously, links to SVN where 0.3.x can be downloaded are available elsewhere on the forum (search for SVN).
