[alicebot-general] Program E - How to load additional categories

[Jeff Ritchie]

Depending on how you are using Program E, we are currently working to get the SRS (salient response system) approach working, which includes some php to load aiml etc. Would be a nice touch to be able to modify existing data, though it could become some what flaky.

If wanting to really get some stuff happening, then only load startup.xml and apply your own aiml sets. Currently attempting this with some Hobbit stuff, but have something wrong in there somewhere.

Cheers,
Jeff

Oke that's clear!

Hopefully one day it will be able to load changed aiml CAT's to. ;-)
( changes on the template side offcourse)
Thanks
