Welcome BuddyGreen! I suppose one reason why ubot is still kind of a secret is because many people on BHW are looking for a quick way to make $, while Ubot takes time and some dedication to learn -especially if you want to develop a bot to sell.

Welcome Sanjeev! I've been using Ubot on and off. I still got lots to learn when it comes to ubot.

Congrats.

This is cool, feel free to add me. My skype is patrick.meeder

I've got a problem with scraping in Ubot 4. I'm unable to scrape the #1229 in the code below which I need because that's the only way I know how to click the right edit button to edit the right page as the {variable} is the page name. {variable}</td> <td style="border: 1px solid #CCCCCC; padding: 2px; text-align: center;"><a href="editor.php?id=1229"><img src="img/page_edit.gif"> I kind of fixed it by scraping the whole <td style="border: 1px solid #CCCCCC; padding: 2px; text-align: center;"><a href="editor.php?id=1229 line and just replacing everything exc

One of my first bots was a 'bot' that brings the user to a 'never gonna give you up' video on YouTube. Planned to share it on a blackhat forum proclaiming it to be an IM tool, but I was too lazy to proceed with that plan.

Thanks Eddie, that's good to hear. Seemingly I can add a variable it just doesn't work when the text has any breaks (including <BR></BR>) in them. Guess I know what my first Ubot 4 bot will be...

I'm working on a website that also uses a FCKeditor. I'm trying to add a variable to the code so that I can have it submit an article I select in an ui open file window. void(FCKeditorAPI.GetInstance('body').SetHTML("{1}")) with {1} being a variable doesn't work for me, nor does using spin with the read file variable. Is there any way to make this code work with a variable? Also are these IFrame's easier to deal with in Ubot 4?

I got a simple question. When I'm using the account constant 'username' it will use the same username with each sign up of the various websites in my bot. Since I'd prefer not to leave a footprint like that, what's the easiest way to get the username account constant to give a different username for each sign up. Thanks

Alright, thanks LoWrIdErTJ, I've send you an email.

I'm not sure if I understand, how do I save the number to the list? Don't I have to wildcard the variables since they are different depending on the title/blog?

I got another problem with an iframe. When I navigate to the iframe with the editor in firefox it loads a page with a unique ID for every page (e.g. page=1619). The only way I can think of on how to scrape the page number is by saving the page with only a title and no content, navigating to the blog and pagescrape the title that's residing in the sidebar with the menu. When I pagescrape the title I get the code below. The parts where it says 'VAR' are parts in the code that changes depending on the subdomain and title. The part I want to scrape is the number '1619' but I can't figure out ho

Unfortunately I could only afford the standard edition . I guess my bot will not be completely automated then .

.

Thanks alot for the bot LoWrIdErTJ. Another website where I have this problem with does not have an option to select 'source' or 'html'. What to do in such an instance as the one below?

Where it says 'Weblog' enter 'experiment' in both fields and press the LOGIN button. Here you will see the IFrame. Thanks

To see the IFrame you'll have to log-in. I can give you log-in details if you want.

I'm creating a bot that submits my articles to blog sites. The most common problems I'm encountering is with IFrames. When I use the change IFrame node there is already code in the IFrame. When I erase the code, put my article in it and then have ubot click the submit button the website won't save the article and instead tells me to insert an article. There also seems to be no option to open the IFrame in a separate window, so I'm stuck. I hope someone can tell me how to deal with this in way that's easy to understand as I have no coding background whatsoever. The code I'm dealing with I

Thanks, doing what you suggested worked

I'm creating a bot that submits to an article site. I want the bot to select a category by checking a checkbox in the list of categories. When I run the node it ends up checking the checkboxes of all the categories instead of just the one I want to select. The node has the following code: Check Checkbox Checked post_category[] The post_category[] is used for all the categories as seen in the source of the page: <li id='category-69'><label class="selectit"><input value="69" type="checkbox" name="post_category[]" id="in-category-69"/> Pets</label></li> <l

Hi JohnB. I'm still pretty new to UBot so I'm having a hard time figuring out how to do what you're suggesting. Any chance you could perhaps edit the .ubot file I added so I can see what you mean? Also I'm planning to have 50+ rows in the .csv file. Thanks

I'm having some problems with saving new data to a pre-existing .csv file without overwriting data that's already in the file. I'm creating a bot that can sign up and submit to various web 2.0 sites. If I want to let ubot sign up to onsugar and weebly and the next day to blogspot I want ubot to save all the usernames and passwords to the same. csv file. The userdata.csv file will have details like the email address and the login details for each web 2.0 site as follows: botbot@gmail.com,emailpass,adress,city,postalcode onsugar,username,pass weebly,username,pass blogspot,username,pass When

@PraneyBehl: I made the screenshot by simply using paint. I changed the script shown in the screenshot. Unlike in the screenshot I've now set a variable for the spinning from a text file. Since seemingly I can't attach my ubot scripts to my posts I uploaded my current script here: http://www.sendspace.com/file/3x5uqs . @theninjamanz: yes you are right that I had to set up a variable. I later realized that as shown in my second post.

@Super Dave: Adding names to a %output list is indeed the way to go when I want the script to loop. For the bot that I have in mind no looping will be required though. @Nuc63: When I select the browse button and select my ubot file and then select 'attach this file' nothing happens. For that reason I uploaded my bot here: http://www.sendspace.com/file/3x5uqs

Thanks for sharing your coding nuc63. I've been able to achieve what I wanted. Since I'm a ubot newbie I've kept it simple. The big change I made was turning whatever username ubot takes from C:\Users\username.txt into a variable and have ubot save it to an csv file specified in the save file box. I also tried adding an open file box so that I can select any file as the text file with the spun usernames instead of ubot being limited to only being able to take it from C:\Users\username.txt. But adding that proved too difficult. http://img828.imageshack.us/img828/4801/currentsetup.jpg
