Hi, how to chat with parrotBot ? What is the password for parrotBot? I tried to change the password, and seems i can log in but cant add user.

RE: Botz: Internal Bot Library for Openfire

communityadmin@igniterealtime.org — Fri, 28 Dec 2007 07:40:29 GMT

again.. i cant see the parrotBot in the 'Session'. the parrotbot appear only as normal user, and not online.

sosys, your path might be the issue.. why did you place it in openfire\netbeansProject? i'm assuming you're using a source build. if that's the case, parrotbot-openfire-3-3.jar should be in openfire/target/openfire/plugins/

also, if you're only testing the parrotbot, you don't need to have a copy of the botz library in lib/ since it already has the jar file in its local lib/ path

in regards to your second post, the parrotbot does not need a password since it authenticates itself, and the account is automatically created if it already doesn't exist. once you have this figured out, send a message to parrot@/Botz

as for my question, i'd like to know if it would be possible to authenticate the bot without having to create an account since the authentication on my server takes place on ldap, which is read-only. if not, how can i assign a name of my own choice to the bot using the anonymous login? the bot gets a random name when using anonymous login.

i solved my problem on my own.

as a reference for anyone else that's interested..

in order to set a username with anonymous login, you must first comment out lines 345 to 359 (for the source version of 3.4), this is where it checks if the user is registered or not.

you should then be able to login using bot.login("bot_name", "resource");

thank you for this library.

I tried with openfire 3.5 and got this to work after few fixes. I thought I might give you feedback and let you updates your dist.

1)The ParrotBot.java is not compilable because you have @Override on methods that's from interface. So you remove it will compile.

2)The document from http://www.igniterealtime.org/builds/openfire/docs/latest/documentation/plugin-d ev-guide.html didn't tell where to get the build script! So I can't compile your parrot plugin sample.

After looking arround, I downloaded the openfire source distribution, copied your parrot plugin into src/plugins directory, and cd into root src project and ran:

$ ant -f build/build.xml openfire plugin -Dplugin=parrotbot

Now I got a generated plugin jar under arget/openfire/plugins

Now I can update and play with codes to get further playing with botz library. Great work Aznidin Zainuddin!

Hi,

I'm using the botz library. I perform a login with a username which already exists in the registered users. An msn transport is registered for the user.

Sometime (2-3 minutes) after I create the connection and perform the login, the user becomes offline automatically.

How can I solve the problem?

Thanks

Hi I'm having a bit of trouble getting this to work. I have a source build in eclipse and I have put the btz jar into a lib directory in my plugin and in eclipse it is showing with no errors but when I run the ant build it gives me the following message:

package org.jivesoftware.openfire.botz does not exist

Botz: Internal Bot Library for Openfire import org.jivesoftware.openfire.botz.BotzConnection;

Do I need to modify the build file in some way? Sorry not much knowledge of

ant

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hi Guys,

Anybody get this library working with opefire 3.6.3?

Best

Mark

Scratch that, got it working.

RE: Botz: Internal Bot Library for Openfire

communityadmin@igniterealtime.org — Sun, 22 Mar 2009 22:38:42 GMT

Does anyone have this working successfully in 3.6.3? What's the trick?

RE: Botz: Internal Bot Library for Openfire

communityadmin@igniterealtime.org — Mon, 23 Mar 2009 11:37:55 GMT

Dont think there was a trick in the end, i just followed the above procedure and made sure the bots library was dropped into the openfire installation lib dir as far as i can remember

RE: Botz: Internal Bot Library for Openfire

communityadmin@igniterealtime.org — Wed, 25 Mar 2009 01:34:23 GMT

Thanks, Mark. I was having trouble building the parrotbot plugin from eclipse. Turns-out I had two issues:

I had to comment-out the two references to @Override -- I think this is because we're implementing an Interface rather than subclassing another class -- I don't think @override annotations apply to Interfaces (but I'm not certain)?
I was both including the botz-openfire.jar as part of the plugin project and as part of the openfire server... I think it was causing problems, so when I just used the botz-openfire.jar as part of the plugin jar, everything behaved.

Hi edalessio, glad you got it working. I have found it to be quite a handy library, pity it has not been updated in a while, but im happy once it still works.

Hi.. can anybody tell me if parrotBot 3.4 works with current version of openfire 3.6.4, earlier I used this bot with Openfire 3.2 everything went smooth But rite now I am trying to attach the bot version 3.4 to openfire recent version and it seems problem with presence subscription, I am getting this packet inside parrot bot class:

and bot is not coming online in contact list of user test1

Pls tell me if anyone has come across this issue, currently I am debugging it.

RE: Botz: Internal Bot Library for Openfire

communityadmin@igniterealtime.org — Sun, 07 Jun 2009 09:30:11 GMT

Dyat, I got it working in Openfire 3.6.4 without problems. I do login with an existing bot-user though, and it is important that the bot-user itself is subscribing to other peoples presence.

However, this plugin does not end gracefully. Even if removed from the Plugins-list (during development for instance) the bot remains in memory and responds.

Hey

I have got the parrotbot to work 100%. I am new to openfire and using plugins and bots. I am trying to modify the parrot bot source code but nothing happens. Instead of the repeating whatever I say I want the parrot bot to tell me the time. Any ideas? Like I said I am new to plugins and bots.

Any help will be highly appreciated.

Hi,

Anyone have success trying the parrotbot with openfire 3.7.0. It seems to install fine but the actual bot session never starts.

Any and all help appreciated.

Best
