    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

    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.

    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!

    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

    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

    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. Sebastian Rooks
    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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. Sebastian Rooks
    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. Sebastian Rooks
    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

    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

    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

    Wow, thank you. I've spent a week attacking this project from different angles, none of which have quite gotten me 100% This is how I'm implementing what you gave me int in my bot, I've only got two problems left before I can finally stop working on this thing and start working with it. 1. I can't figure out how to scrape a tweet picture, or even just a way to indicate in the table that there was originally a picture associated with the tweet would be good enough. Without knowing that, I'll be left with text tweets that don't make sense without context, but have higher like and retweet n

    I honestly don't know how I could thank you enough for this. This has been sucking the life and productivity out of me for days now. You gave me options that I'm going to save and study, and surely apply to different things at different times in the future. I promise that when I get to the point that I've got more answers than questions, I'll take time to help people out too. I went with the remove from list option, and I made a couple of changes to meet my exact needs. Removing the last 4 lines is a consistent win. But the first two lines can vary. I made some changes in how they're handl
  18. Sebastian Rooks
    Thank you SOOO much! This is a big advancement in the right direction. That got me something, which is a lot more than I had before, which was nothing. I just need to figure out how to modify the beginning and the end. The first line doesn't always contain "ago", the only real constant I see that it contains an @ symbol somewhere towards the middle of that line. Also doesn't always end with ".", but it does always end with (?=\[d*\s]retweets?) or what I imagine looks something like that (but probably doesn't.) One weird thing though.....your code doesn't catch anything for me in the U

    Hi, this may actually drive me insane. I've been working on what should have been a simple project for days now, and I've come to a sticking point I'd really appreciate some help getting through. I have a list populated with entries like this: Penelope Retweeted I'm yer Freckleberry ‏@PicklesnPickles 46 mins46 minutes ago He adores my freckles. I think I'll let him count them. 22 retweets 32 likes Reply Retweet 22 Like 32 More This is my first project featuring regex. So far, I've been able to select the numbers of retweets and likes from the fourth line from the bottom and add

    Learjet, thank you so much. Being as far out of my element as I feel, that's a tremendous help. I didn't even realize that UBot had a regex editor. (I didn't even know what regex was until yesterday. This is all still very new to me.) I don't have Regex Cheater. Thanks to you, I will in a few minutes It's just good to know that I'm not the only one who's experienced this situation. It's encouraging. Sometimes that's enough. Thanks..

    Ok, still working on this thing. I couldn't get separate scrapes to match up data consistently over differing circumstances. So without knowing what else to do, I turned towards regular expressions (which I know even less about) After googling, watching tutorials, etc, I came up with three regular expressions that highlight what I want in EditPad Pro, but don't work right when I try to implement them in my UBot code. It would sure be swell if someone could take a look at this and help me out. It really would. Let's start with the format of the list item I'm scraping things from: Tartlandi
  22. Sebastian Rooks
    Here's what I've got so far. It's sloppy, I'm sure there must be a better way. add list to list(%scrapedtweets,$scrape attribute(<(outerhtml=w"<p class=\"TweetTextSize TweetTextSize--*6px js-tweet-text tweet-text\" lang=\"en\" data-aria-label-part=\"0\">*</p>" OR outerhtml=w"<a class=\"QuoteTweet-link js-nav\"*")>,"innertext"),"Delete","Global") wait(3) add list to list(%likes,$scrape attribute(<innertext=w"Like *">,"innertext"),"Don\'t Delete","Global") wait(3) add list to list(%retweets,$scrape attribute(<innertext=w"Retweet *">,"innertext"),"Don\'t Delete"
  23. Sebastian Rooks
    Well over 12 hours into this particular problem and all I've been able to accomplish is scraping tweets with no additional data: add list to table as column(&tweettable,0,0,$scrape attribute(<outerhtml=w"<p class=\"TweetTextSize TweetTextSize--16px js-tweet-text tweet-text\" lang=\"en\" data-aria-label-part=\"0\">*</p>">,"innertext")) or add list to table as column(&tweettable,0,1,$scrape attribute(<data-tweet-id=w"*">,"innertext")) that returns everything together leaving me with the problem of separation. I haven't been able to reliably scrape any one thi
  24. Sebastian Rooks
    You've already helped me tremendously by telling me to focus on scraping separately instead of trying to separate afterwards. I've spent a fair amount of time and frustration trying to do it the wrong way. Forgive me, if I copied too much. I'm sure that not knowing exactly which parts I need makes up a big part of my current problem. <div class="tweet original-tweet js-original-tweet js-stream-tweet js-actionable-tweet js-profile-popup-actionable " data-tweet-id="695704208687894530" data-disclosure-type="" data-item-id="695704208687894530" data-permalink-path="/S

    There you go, coming to my rescue again! I suspect that "on load" is dev only too, because I get the same kind of error when I try to run it. I'll absolutely be trying this though. Thanks!
