Thanks, this helps.

You are correct, there is one root state in a Self script, and states and functions must be self contained in a script file, they cannot call other states or functions in other scripts.

If you really need to redirect to another script file, you can use a redirect() or srai() operation to redirect to another question that the script answers.

Thanks for your help.  Please allow me to get confirmation on a related assumption while we are at it.  It is my understanding that there can be only one root state per script, and a script root state cannot execute a "goto" to the root state of another script.  If this assumption is incorrect please so indicate.  Thanks.

Yes, scripts are run in-order.

For AIML scripts, you can also select "merge" when importing to merge them together, if you want their patterns to execute at the same precedence level.

I have seen at least one script in the script library which is recommended to be placed first on the script list for a bot

This article is just an overview of Self.

For structured documentation see our user manual,

There is a great deal of information here but it doesn't seem to be well organized.

Not currently. This would require posting the link meta-data with the post.

You may be able to call the Facebook graph API directly from a Self script,

Is there a way to show the link preview image from links the bot posts to my facebook page?

The Bot Libre open source GitHub repository has been updated to Bot Libre 6.1.

GitHub

Bot Libre 6.1 was released this week.

Bot Libre 6.1 includes new bot analytics to enable tracking and visualizing your bot's activity, engagement, and performance. Analytics include conversations, messages, engagement, confidence, sentiment, response time, social media analytics, and many others. Analytics can be graphed for different time periods, or the raw data can be given in a table.

To load a script into your bot go to your bot's Admin Console (click on the gear icon or menu on the bot's page).
Then click on the Scripts page (script icon or menu).
Click on the upload icon to upload a script file, or the add (green plus) icon the create a new script and paste the text.

I have created a script and have created a bot.  How do I get the script into the bot's brain?

You would need to define "light red" as a compound word.
Try,

Hello, what if the color is "light red"? I tried :

{#data : #lightred, instantiation : #color, word : "light red"} {#data : "light red", instantiation : #word, meaning : #lightred}

and it didn't work.

Bot Libre supports several different types of button styles and chat styles for embedding to enhance user experience. Button styles let users choose the a specific style of button for the embedding. Chat Styles lets you choose the chat style of the bot. Different chat styles provide different shapes and looks of chat log and chat text bubbles.

Button Styles

You can disable your bots voice when you embed it on your own website.
On the Embed page unclick "Speak".

how can I desable my bot's voice? 

You can get to the Admin Console for a bot or live chat channel from its webpage.
Click on the menu (hamburger) button or admin (gear) button below the "Chat" button.

how do I find the admin menu

You can now request and access a user's location from a Facebook Messenger bot.

Facebook Messenger can send you the user's location in longitude and latitude coordinates using a "quick reply" option.

We have released Bot Libre 6.0!

We are currently testing the Bot Libre 6.0 release on botlibre.com

Please email [email protected] if you notice any issues.

The test GUI has a menu item to load a file.

You can also write a Java class to load a script into the bot.

I checked your bot, 'r0ckteacher' and do not see any repeats in its conversation log.

Bots will reply with the responses or scripts that you train them with. If you have an empty bot with no trained responses it will just repeat your input back to you. Also be careful not to enable learning, otherwise the bot will learn your input as new responses.

Hi. The test gui only repeats back what I type instead of answering questions. There are no error messages.

 

Any ideas?

We can add any features your require through our Bot Libre for Business development service.

Contact [email protected]

this is top priority function for me. When you plan to add these features?

This depends on the voice you have configured your bot with.

Our own voices do not have this limit.

In the sentence, the voice stops at the word "administradora": 

Yes, that should be possible.

You would need to connect a bot to the email account, and to the Facebook page.

Hey, I would like to make a bot that can take emails and post the text on a facebook page. Is there any way I could do that?

To add a synonym through JSON you would import for example,

{ #data : "angry", instantiation : #word, instantiation : #adjective, synonym : "mad", synonym : "upset" }

Hello! i tried to implement synonyms to my bot using json and knowledge , but i failed. I didnt find working solution at this forum, so can you please write example how to add synonyms to bot.

Each bot interaction occurs in the context of a conversation. Bots store all their conversations in their knowledge base.

There is a web API "get-conversations" that will let you query the bot's conversations using a "response-search" XML argument.

I have implemented chatbot in android application. I'll chat many times with chatbot, when I closed the application and reopen the application all chats history were gone. So in that case, I have to maintain my chat history with chatbot how it will achieved, or else I have to use some sqlite data to manage history with chatbot, or have is there any alternate option to do that. Kindly help us.

Not sure I understand, perhaps give more details.
Also, this does not sound like it has anything to do with this post, so please post a separate post.

How to handle previous chat history with chatbot. And how to manage it using android.

hi. Where i can find the full changelog of botlibre versions?

If too much data is pinned, the bot will be forced to delete pinned data if beyond its maximum knowledge limit.

Why doesn't anyone make a avatar that similar to zahnn from farscape but not exactly.Or a avatar that looks similar to doc yule but not exactly.Would it be copyright infringement?Female alien avatars would probably be great with animations as well.

but what if I or someoneelse pins too much knowledge or responses? 

The bots automatically clean up their knowledge database nightly if they go over the limit. They will delete garbage data and old conversations.

If you go over the limit, the bot will still function, but importing will be disabled. If you go way over the limit, the bot will be disabled until it can clean itself up.

thanks, this is very useful information 

What if I go over this knowledge limit  which is 100,000?would I not be able to add anymore knowledge?

Web ads make very little money now a days, and do not cover the cost of the website. They are more to encourage users to upgrade to help support the cost of the website and continued development of the bot platform.

If you upgrade, you can remove the ads from your bot, or replace them with your own ads.

the ada at the bottom of my chatbot.is that just to pay for botlibre websight?
