hey
I found that when we write in the input filed,After the response is retrieved from database it clears the previous reponse alos from the response feild.

Is there a way so that previous output is no deleted??

Thank you

I think you may have to wait for Dave to return to get an answer on this one.

Good advice by Steve.  Dave is one of the official Program O developers
who may give you the official response which may be actively supported.

Yes.  That is a good way to make it more difficult to tell whether or not it is a robot or human.
You may decide to keep it that way.  I have not installed the latest version of Program O yet, but it is unlikely that responses actually get deleted.  You should be able to see a table log of conversations by looking in your database or possibly the Program O admin panel, but you would have to check that.  Basically, the log is an important way to perfect your chatbot responses by reading the log to make corrections to the bot brain every now and then.

Unofficially speaking: Yes.  You may want to add a public log to your website. That is usually only required for chatbot contests. Here is my AIML Interpreter ASP.NET 4.5 currently running on a Microsoft Windows webhost.  However, this is not Program O.  I originally built this as a demonstration for a company which had an ASP.NET 4.5 requirement.  Then I recommended they order Superbot from Dr. Wallace, as the best chatbot option for commercial use.

Thank you

You’re welcome.

thanks Tom..

There is table called conversation_log in the database of program o.from tha i mam able to create a file of the log and send it to the user if they want to.

But the previous response goes away whenever a new response comes in the response field..how to fix that?

While I’m still on sabbatical, I do check in from time to time, and this is an easy thing to handle. Simply log in to the admin page for your chatbot and click on the first (top) link in the left navigation panel that’s labeled “Change/Edit Bot”. From there, the primary chatbot is already loaded, and can be edited. Look for the option “Chat Lines To Display”, and change the value shown to one that you would prefer. There is no option to “show all” here, and it’s not advisable to show more than 10 responses, due to performanceconcerns (which is still being investigated). Once you change the value, hit the “Update” button, and that should take care of it.

Ok, back to my sabbatical.

The official Program O response is the best way to go because it is supported.  Just saying, if you decide to do a mod (short for modification) that is not supported then usually in most cases you may be on you own.

For discussion purposes only…

Sounds like a response string assignment.

Example:  Response=“Please go on.”

You may want a response string concatenation.

Example: Response += “Please go on.”

After that you may decide on a method to maintain state to save the concatenated response string between user requests.  There are quite a few methods to do that.

At: http://www.8pla.net  as of 10/21/13 subject to change in the future, you may find an example of a rudimentary chatbot that uses a JavaScript method with an HTML form.
This keeps a log until the page gets refreshed, which may be adequate for a simple chatbot.
