I currently do not edit/use my bot because it is so unstable due to it. I had bots executing code that had been removed (from all versions) over a week before. I even made a new bot with the new code and the bot still performed functions that were NEVER in that bots code. </p> http://googlewavebots.info/forum/topic/version-management-for-your-bots-and-gadgets#post-25 Sun, 06 Dec 2009 18:55:31 +0000 Eck 25@http://googlewavebots.info/forum/ <p>When I made some changes to my bot and republished them (specifically its profile), I made sure to change the version number. But, when I went to revisit the bot, it still had the faceless icon as its image and had none of the changes I had made. After checking and rechecking that everything I knew about was correct, I stumbled across the version management tab on my bot's dashboard and saw there were 2 versions. Version 1 (default) and version 2. I set version 2 as the default (and deleted version 1) and everything worked just fine. I probably didn't have to delete version 1, but I wanted to be sure. All the documentation that I read lead me to believe that changing the version number was all I needed to do. </p> <p>I hope this saves some time for someone,<br /> - Eck </p> http://googlewavebots.info/forum/topic/standards#post-19 Thu, 26 Nov 2009 21:29:41 +0000 JohnLBevan 19@http://googlewavebots.info/forum/ <p>Good point - you can tell I'm more used to coding for the command line ;) </p> http://googlewavebots.info/forum/topic/standards#post-16 Mon, 23 Nov 2009 19:54:59 +0000 Admin 16@http://googlewavebots.info/forum/ <p>I think most of those should just be said when you ping the bot. It should open the ping wavelett and give you help/about/devsite info in there </p> http://googlewavebots.info/forum/topic/standards#post-15 Mon, 23 Nov 2009 19:09:46 +0000 JohnLBevan 15@http://googlewavebots.info/forum/ <p>It would be good to establish some standard commands which all bots can implement, allowing you to quickly find out all a bot can do without having to go hunting for it.<br /> e.g.<br /> <a href="mailto:botName@appspot.com">botName@appspot.com</a> /? //see /help<br /> <a href="mailto:botName@appspot.com">botName@appspot.com</a> /help //brings up a list of commands available<br /> <a href="mailto:botName@appspot.com">botName@appspot.com</a> /about //displays a summary of what this robot does<br /> <a href="mailto:botName@appspot.com">botName@appspot.com</a> /devsite //provides a link to the developer's site<br /> <a href="mailto:botName@appspot.com">botName@appspot.com</a> /mode private //the bot's responses are only shown to the person who invited it<br /> <a href="mailto:botName@appspot.com">botName@appspot.com</a> /mode public //everyone in the wave sees the bot's responses </p>
