Trying to create a menu, with buttons, that calls responses when the buttons are pushed. Not working

I am baffled.

I had this working, and now I can not get it to work.

I have topics, which I display in my greeting as follows.

Hello, welcome to Clovis Gnostic Bot. I can help with a variety of questions. <button>religion</button> <button>politics</button> <button>gnostics</button> <button>joke</button> <button>feminism</button> <button>social justice</button> <button>socialism</button> <button>capitalism</button> <button>blockchain</button> <button>steemit</button> <button>bitcoin</button> If there is anything that you would like to as that you can not find here. Please write Ryan at <a href="https://opinions.clovisstar.com/contact" target="_blank"><button>[email protected]</button></a>

I have a self script: topics.self

conversation.topic = "politics"
conversation.topic = "religion"
conversation.topic = "capitalism"
conversation.topic = "socialism"
conversation.topic = "blockchain"
conversation.topic = "feminism"
conversation.topic = "economics"
conversation.topic = "social justice"
conversation.topic = "gnostics"

It defines these topics ^

and I have a menu.aiml script with the responses to these menu items.

to no avail

Like I say, I had this working for the most part. But I had my html wrong with my buttons. So I wiped the bot, and started over. I figured out the HTML issue, where I had to wrap the button, instead of having the <a href= inside the button, I wrapped the button on the outside. That fixed that problem.

But, now I just can not get my responses to call in, like I had working before wiping the bot.

I have created 3 new bots, tried this in every way possible,

Can you please give me an example of how to make this work?

I just want this menu:

In AIML topic categories are only used if that topic is active.

To set the topic you need to use,

<set name="topic">capitalism</set>

Inside a template that starts the topic.

Im still not able to pull the AIML correctly from the menu, it's not pulling my responses. In my greeting for the buttons, do I markup like this: ? Or is it:

This is painful. The only thing that I changed was the [42032, 1, 2018-05-03 14:09:26.096, 0.5, 2018-05-03 14:09:26.096, 1284610003, 0, false, null, 42027, 7007, 202]

I reboostrapped the bot, still I get that.

Ok, I figured it out. This is something on botlibre's side. I think it is anyway.

In my logs I see this referenced several times:

2018-05-03 04:38:38.151 - WARNING -- AIMLParser:Unsupported category child - category - WHAT IS PROGRAM A
Program A is an OLD OBSOLETE VERSION of ALICE, an artificial intelligence created by Richard S. Wallace. You should be using program B or C by now.

"

Then I referenced my error that is displayed in the bot, and I go to my logs and look when that error occurs, they seem to be related.

So I look on the web, and I found this:

http://knytetrypper.proboards.com/thread/559/show-link-template

It appears that the problems come from an old version of aiml?

Your bot, "Clovis Gnosis New" seems to have some incorrect responses, possibly from import invalid files or importing files incorrectly.

Try creating a new bot, or reseting the bot by clicking "Delete All" from the bot's Knowledge Status page.

When you import the AIML from the bot's Scripts page do not select "Index Patterns".

Looking at your AIML it is not correct, you menu level patterns should not have a topic. In AIML you need to set the topic in the template as I have said above.

Bot Libre also supports response lists, which are simpler and more powerful than AIML.

You could also define the responses using a response list, which lets you define topics on responses as either required to optional, so your above would work.

See,

https://www.botlibre.com/forum-post?id=483549

Oh thank you! I am working on a different bot right now, I am working on the Clovis Gnostic Bot, the first one.

I will "delete all" again, and start new with the code that you posted. Thanks again!

So I did what you said. I "Deleted All" in the Knowledge section.

This is what I get after making the changes.

My latest error;

https://ibb.co/g4PPPS

This is how my greeting is coded
https://ibb.co/k0kndn

This is my self code to define the topics (is this necessary?)
https://ibb.co/bxO7dn

This is the AIML for the topics/menu defined as you stated.

https://ibb.co/hUfyjS

I have started 5 new bots in the course of this, I have deleted all tons of times. Rebootstraped too.
Tried everything I can find on other forums. I have no idea what I could be doing wrong.

For good measure, I did this was the new bot that I made.

I "Delete All", and then I left all of the script section blank, I did not "rebootstrap" so that there were no other scripts listed that may be conflicting.

I only uploaded the code that you helped me define above.

Then I created a greeting, with my menu as before.

That is the only two alterations that I made to the bot, it has no other logic.

I get the same exact error on the new bot.

I reviewed your bot.
Your Self script makes no sense, so I deleted it, not should what you were trying to do.
I did see the database error, is seems all your resetting had corrupted something in the database connection. I clicked on the "Clear Cache" button in your bot's Knowledge Status page and this resolved the issue.

Your bot seems to be working correctly.

Make sure you AIML files are valid XML before uploading.

Ok thanks. I haven't check on that. But I assume that it was indeed corrupted, because I was able to get a different bot working.

On the second bot that I tried, I had no self script, like I said, I only had the menu AIML, and the greeting, not sure why it had anything else, I didn't add a self script.

But thanks for correcting that.

This is the third bot that I tried, and got it working correctly on..

The only problem now is that is only works on one domain, not the sub-domain.

I have this working on: http://clovisstar.com

But it will not work at all on the sub-domain: https://opinions.clovisstar.com

It had always worked on both before. Now something is amiss.

Do you see the same problem? I have tried it on my VPS, on my home computer, and on my phone, and I get the same error.

This is the code I use, it is the same code that I use on both sites;

If you want to use a subdomain you need to use http not https. https only works with the root domain.

i.e. change https://clovisstar.botlibre.com to http://clovisstar.botlibre.com

Trying to create a menu, with buttons, that calls responses when the buttons are pushed. Not working
