Thanks for all the help guys,i got my dynamic drop-downs ready. However there is a bug in ubot 4 stopping me from finishing my bot.Has anyone else problems with bots created in ubot 4 suddenly acting different then they used to do a while back? Some of my pre created bots stopped working due to ubot 4 not working as it used to work.

That is a solid idea Kev! I have a blind customer and i have worked with him a lot so i know how they communicate. Most of the blind people are using iphones and ipads with voice over so when they get a mail or message they use the iphone to read it for them and they use voice to text to write. If i where you i would make a database and a iphone app and when news and warnings are added to the database you send a push notification to your iphone app about the news/warning. The blind people uses the iphone voiceover to read the push notification. With a good idea as this you should look in to

Yes this is what i am looking for! Thanks for the example UbotDev

This is cool kev! I am curious on where you are going with the raspberry and ubot,i am also working on a couple of raspberry's but not with ubot. It is very cool to see what kind of crazy things people are doing with their raspberry.

Wow you are too good to be true Darryl!!!! This is something that has bugged me for months i just could not find a way to do it without breaking the flow of my bots. I tested a lot of different ways to do it but some involved starting the bot 3 times so it could scrape the lists and add them to my ui dropdowns. You do not need to rush anything because of me but it would be nice to get this bot ready so i can leave it as it is.

I am trying to make 3 dynamic drop downs for this : https://www.marktplaats.nl/syi/plaatsAdvertentie.html I want the drop downs to to simulate the menus on the site and act exactly the same. So when i choose something on the first drop down in my ui i want the second to change. Has anyone done anything like this?

It sounds like you are on ubot 5,you should have no problems compiling your bot in ubot 4. So i would advice to use ubot 4 for now and just use ubot 5 to play with until the bugs are gone.

You should revert back to ubot 4 to save a lot of time and headaches. Ubot 5 has too many bugs and most of the users are still using ubot 4.

You can try to convert your bots to c# and .Net. Using ubot you have already learned the logic behind your bots so now it's just a question of converting the logic of your bots to a real coding language such as c#. This is a way i have been using ubot for a long time now with the same reason as you.I have actual though of making some tutorials on how to do it if there are enough people interested i may do it. Get yourself a copy of visual studio and just play around with it(you can use visual studio 90 days for free) There are tons of tutorials and example bots made in c# around and you can

Great stuff Aymen ,thanks!!

LOL There are guys making a lot of money with ubot.

I am not the right person to ask why ubot bot's don't sell because i do not sell anything made in ubot. What i use ubot for is for my own tasks and to make a quick example of a bot to test out my ideas,pretty much just for prototyping. It is much faster to test out my ideas in ubot compared to visual studio and if the idea work i convert my bot to c#. Why i will not release anything made in ubot is because ubot is not stable enough to run my bots,and offering support on the bot's would be a true nightmare. I was hoping that ubot 5 was going to improve this but it seems it is far away to impr

well ubot is a resource hog and even the best parts money can buy will not let you run ubot 24/7. As long as you get a decent amount of ram min 6gb,one of the latest processors and a ssd you are good to go. However to run larger made ubot's even the best pc money can buy won't save you from the crashes ubot will have at some point. It's not the pc's fault when it crashes it is ubot,so i would not over spend on getting the latest and greatest parts just for ubot. Even my 5k alienware laptop is not able to run ubot 24/7 without problems.

I agree with everything Zap is saying!! I was hoping that the bugs in ubot 4 was gone in ubot 5,but so far i have not even been able to try ubot 5 due to all them bugs. What really pisses me off is when you guys say there are just a FEW bugs in ubot 5 what do you guys think we are,retards???? You guys sure have your own definitions on FEW and SOON,50+ bugs is rather many bugs and soon is not 6+ months. English is not my main language but it can't be that i have to learn you the definition of few and soon. Why not just admit that there are many bugs in ubot 5 and you are working hard to get t

I tried again but still the same.

I have the same problem,when i click on a compiled bot nothing happens. If you check windows task manager you will see the bot running but you can not open it or anything.

Have you checked out Darryl's free drag and drop ui builder? It's easy to use and it will not cost you anything.

Try again now,it seems that they have fixed it with a silent update. When i tried to add a ui check box today it was added as it should.

I would also like to know i am in the same situation as dankass

Was bored so i made a example for you,was made in ubot 4 but i guess you can use it in ubot 5. When i tried to do it in ubot 5 the ui checkbox was no where to be found in the ui. @Beele That's up to you really,when i have something like the bot you describe i mostly define each function and i use a ui button to run each define in the order i want. tab-example.ubot

I have some questions about updates: First,you guys talked about 2 ways of updating ubot 1 was silent updates and the other one was the normal updates with a change log. Today when i opened up ubot 5 i got a window with downloading files from your server was this a silent update????? If it was how can we check what was changed? And when do we get the major update so i can finally recompile my bots to ubot 5? At this time i can't use ubot 5 i tried with making a new fresh ubot 5 bot but the element selector is all over the place.

There are already tutorials for this,the tutorials for ubot 4 work for ubot 5 since they are still the same commands. The only thing not found for ubot 4 is a socket tutorial,but Aymen has some nice tutorials on posting with sockets( tutorial on live headers to get the post command) Gogetta also provided a nice example yesterday using the built in sockets to scrape youtube. Frank also mentioned he would make some tutorials for sockets and some other new functions in ubot 5. (you can also check out JohnB's tutorials on youtube he has a excellent tutorials on scraping webpages and saving to tx

This was one of my main questions as well,i have done some testing since i have no problems to use v4 bots in v5. So far i see no improvements what so ever with the newly compiled bots,i still get a lot of browser freezes and crash. But it is really to soon to tell for sure if there are any improvements in the bots,i guess we just have to wait until all the bugs are sorted out. Here are some of the improvements i was hoping to see but so far no improvments: -Browser stability -Memory leaks -Use of CPU -Less crash in compiled bots -Less crash during development -Less freezes when developing l

LOL you are right,i think they forgot to add buttons to the ui builder

How do we get the built in spinner in the compiled bots? Maybe i am missing something here but how are we supposed to use the spinner in compiled bots? When i compile a bot i get checkboxes to add the scheduler but i do not see any option on the spinner also looked in the menu of the compiled bots if i could see anything there but nothing. Are we supposed to be able to add the spinner to compiled bots? I do not see that much use of it if we can't add it to our compiled bots.
