[Blanking out webpage in UI]

Please clarify something for me. Are you saying that you can call a sub that runs javascript in Ubots browser window without displaying the URL that the bot is working on? If yes, my next 3 questions are - can you run all kinds of html (from a single webpage) within a sub? What about a multi-page website? Or (the next, most obvious step if that's the case..) a web-based app? Can you point me to related documentation or tutorials regarding this so I can fill in my gaps in knowledge?

 

Here's some javascript to cover the page and display a message:

document.body.style.overflow = "hidden";
var overlay = document.createElement("div");
overlay.style.position = "absolute";
overlay.style.top = "0px";
overlay.style.left = "0px";
overlay.style.backgroundColor = "#000";
overlay.style.color = "#FFF";
overlay.style.width = "100%";
overlay.style.height = "100%";
overlay.innerHTML = "Please wait... We're working on something here. ";
document.body.appendChild(overlay);

 

You could make a sub that executes this javascript and call that sub after every time you navigate to a new page.

 

This overlay shouldn't affect anything in your script unless you're dealing with captchas.

 

Edit: Just found all the additional "how to scrape _____ " vids on vimeo, but that doesn't seem to be what I need.

I know that an autosave option is already in the works - would an "undo" function also be possible, as far as node editing is concerned?

[Guide: How to Start Learning Ubot]

Thanks, I am spending my entire weekend doing precisely what you've recommended. Here is a quick link to a copy of Vdownloader: http://www.mediafire.com/?jmadj2qzzz3

 

Edit: one of the sample websites in the tutorials is not working and it appears to have been made with an older version of the software. Maybe the next version of the videos could be more scripted, too, since the demonstrator does not comment on every step they take.

[Stupid Google]

Too much for me to deal with. Anyone know a decent email provider which can be automated easily?

Yahoooooooooooooooo

Grey -- we have a anti-piracy system in place and doing what you mention will compromise our security. SO unfortunately we can't have that and compromise the system.

I basically assumed that was the issue. I've considered a few other options, but I'm sold on ubot. I'll be making my purchase within a week. The only question I have left is, is there a mechanism for adding graphics like a logo, banner, and/or custom GUI to any bots that we produce with ubot? I definitely intend to sell .exe's.

In all honesty that statement makes little sense at all. Ubot is only $199 with a coupon code. If what you stated is true it should be no problem for you to get your ROI within the 30 day period.

The problem with that is that you have to have the $199 to begin with. If you are correct then offering a one month free trial with a scheduled payment at the end of that month would guarantee sales.

I never even seen those packets they sell. My understanding it is just a profile page on a forum right?

 

If so, then yes it would be very easy to create. If you can post an example I can tell you more.

Oh, the things I could do with a free copy of Ubot...
