  1. Hi Nick, I'm using the latest version of Ubot, Ive gone from Chrome 21 to 39 to back to 21 again, and a myriad of user agent settings as well. I still couldn't change a social media profile or header picture to save my life. I don't know if it's me, the browser, or Ubot. So I came here looking for some clarity. I've got to say I find it a bit odd that the most recent discussion of changing a profile picture on twitter is a few years old. Really? Does that mean that it's not a problem for anyone other than me? Or that no one wants to automate social media account creation? Or I'm the first gu
  2. I'm having trouble uploading pictures on Twitter, Facebook, Backpages, (and probably everywhere else, but that's what I've been trying lately) I've tried all different user agents. The basic pattern of my experience is as follows: I step through a website in Ubot browser while setting up the automation steps. I get to a point, normally involving uploading a picture.... sometimes I can get the command to click the button. Once. Maybe. But not always. Any further interaction with the website turns my mouse cursor into a pointing finger, and then it stays that way for what is usually forever.
  3. Hey Dan, I'm having trouble with not being able to do things like change pictures and profile information in Twitter and Facebook from within the Ubot Browser. It seems that I can't get it to interact consistently. It's becoming a real problem. Will this plugin overcome this? Reliably? How hard is it to learn? I don't know anything about Xpath, and little about Regex. I also want to be able to store session cookies for those sites, which I understand to be httponly. So that I can make multi threaded account managers. Is this what I need? Thanks!
  4. I'm on a define kick myself. Or rather they're kicking my..... I've got a bot using twenty something includes. I thought I was going to be streamlined and efficient, but I don't think I've made any honest forward progress in the last 12 straight hours of effort. A lot of my defines have other defines included with them. I've been crashing all day, and I think I'm almost to the bottom of it? Can you not use a define to call another define? That seems to be what's doing me in right now. Emphasis on "seems" because I usually end up being wrong. Anyway, thanks for the tutorial
  5. Thank you guys for your help! My problem ended up being that I made erroneous assumptions about what my problem was. I couldn't get my defines to work, I assumed it was a problem with parameters, because that's the part I though I didn't understand. The problem in my case (in case any newcomer makes a mistake like this) is that because I worked backwards...creating unruly monster bots and then trying to clean them up by exporting defines to a new .ubot file I have to change every occurrence of a custom command to reflect it's new path. (completely obvious to most of you, I'm sure) But I di
  6. Hi Jason, I think the problem is that I don't understand the best method of organizing, or how to apply it to my multi tabbed bot that's sprawling out of control. I like the idea of using Include and Define, but my Defines use lists and tables. I don't know how to make that work. Can that work? Thanks
  7. Thank you Pash. That's a great answer, and it should be enough. My problem is that I've already read those, watched that excellent video, and worked through TJ's example. I can make that work, but I can't quite apply it to my own scripts. Also, most of my defines involve lists and tables. Surely that's part of my problem. Here's an example of the shortest, cleanest define that I haven't yet make work via include (but it works fine when it's in the bot together) I feel like if someone can help me figure out how to get this one running, I can apply those lessons to the bigger ones that I have.
  8. I've got 7 script tabs in one wildly unruly bot, with 7 different unruly interfaces. I want to bring it all together neatly and efficiently, and then conquer the internet. I gather that using defines, along with include, is the way to achieve this. My problem is that I don't understand what parameters are and or how they work in regards to this situation. I've been googling for the last couple of hours, and I'm coming up a little short. I've broken my code down into Defines, I can call the Defines as long as they're in the same bot. But trying to include them in another bot doesn't work.
  9. Hey I know this is from forever ago, and your problem was forever before that, but I'm dealing with the same error. Did you ever get it resolved? Thanks! I'm able to connect to my FTP server through ftp.exe, but ubot gives me that instant error.
  10. So far my problems (and my experience) have been limited to Twitter, and today, trying to scrape the keyword ideas from Google's keywords planner because up until about 6 minutes ago, I was apparently too stupid to just download the .csv and get it to open properly. I've read good things about the Xpath plugin, and I'm definitely interested. But I'm still fairly new to everything, and I'm afraid Xpath is still outside of my understanding.
  11. I do actually have a couple of instances of chrome open. I'm not sure if I did all the other times or not, but it's quite possible. That's something new to try that I never would have guessed, kind of like deselecting that checkbox I didn't know about. Thanks man, this has been an ongoing frustration for the past couple of months. I'm feeling hopeful.
  12. Thanks, it' nice to know that I'm not alone here. Unfortunately, on my end, there doesn't seem to be a correlation between bot size, use of defines, and advanced element selector crashing. It happened many times working on a big messy bot, and it's happened I think 5 times today on a really small bot, with no defines. ehh, such is life.
  13. Hi, I see that this thread is a few months old now, but I'm here because I'm having what, I think, is a similar problem. Using the advanced element selector has crashed Ubot for me....somewhere in the neighborhood of 100 times total. I can't predict what's going to cause it or when, but it always happens the same way. 1. I select an element to scrape. 2. click the gear icon to open the advanced element selector. 3. Sometimes it works, but other times... it says: "no element found", then the advanced element selector pops up completely blank, then "Ubot has st
  14. Now I'm really closed to being finished. I finally figured out how to scrape a tweet picture. I'm using: set(#didtweethaveattachment,$scrape attribute($element offset(<outerhtml=w"<img src=\"https://pbs.twimg.com/media/***.jpg\"alt=\"\" style=\"***;\">">,#offset),"fullsrc"),"Global") It works, and it pulls the url of the image that was in a tweet. The only problem I'm still having is that because not all tweets have pictures, I don't know how to match the image urls to the tweets in my table. Does that make sense? Let's say that there's 10 tweets on a page and 5 of them have pic
  15. Also, often times when I click on the advanced element selector from $scrape attribute, I get an error that pops up like this: Cannoy deserialize the current JSON array(e.g[1,,2,3] into type 'System.Boolean'because the type requires a JSONprimitive value (e.g. string, number,boolean, null) to deserialize correctly.To fix this error either change the JSON toa JSON primitive value (e.g. string,number, boolean, null) or change thedeserialized type to an array or a typethat implements a collection interface(e.g. Icollection, IList) like List<T> that canbe deserialized from a JSON array.Jso
