Hey Gang, I'm using v3.5 and I am working on a wordpress site that uses nexgen gallery. I'm attempting to create a bot that scrapes the generic alt tags of images like IMG_160 or IMG_25576 and replace them with random keywords from a list. Each album has a different number of photos, so positions change, and of course names are always different. My original approach, which doesn't work, was to create a list of current alt tag names using page scrape, then choose by attribute using the list as a reference for the search. So if my list of scraped results contained IMG_160 IMG_161 IMG_162

Luis, yes this can be done. You can visit this video tutorial and Seth shows you how to do it. Video 2

Okay,,,,I had to do some refresher training on scraping....Seths keyword tool video had the answer...

I'm running into a snag over at youtube. The idea is to insert a list of keywords and have Ubot search and scrape the usernames pertaining to the search results, the big problem is that youtube uses something that looks like this for each search result: result 1: <A id=video-from-username-8QvW1XETz2g class=hLink href="/user/leelefever">leelefever</A> result 2: <A id=video-from-username-gwLiC_VhFZE class=hLink href="/user/expertvillage">expertvillage</A> ... Does anyone have a clever way to scrape the usernames for a setup like this? You can see there are three

I found that the best fix for this at the moment is to manually turn Java Off in IE: Internet Options>security>custom> disable active scripting ; which is near the bottom. I created an article submission bot and some sites use tinymce. I have the bot pause between submissions so I can jump on IE and disable java and then let it continue when needed. It's not perfect but it works.

I just wanted to mention that I run XP pro and I am having the same problem with CCleaner. I can run CCleaner from the command line in windows with no problems. It does not work inside of Ubot. I discovered this problem after I installed a new version of XP pro on my laptop and installed Ubot, plus a fresh download of CCleaner on my laptop. I presume that somewhere either XP or CCleaner did something in either an update or new version of something to cause this problem. My desktop has no problems running CCleaner from the shell inside Ubot,,,,I'll have to start comparing some things and see wh

I just got Ubot up and running on my laptop and I am running into problems with shell commands and CCleaner, I just downloaded the latest version: I'm just trying to invoke CCleaner using Shell>C:\Program Files\CCleaner\CCleaner.exe /AUTO No big deal on my other machine.. I get an error from ccleaner that says: Xenocode Postbuild 2008 The application has encountered an error (0xD0000002) Please contact the publisher of this application for more information Any idea's?

Does anyone have a way to automate the enabling and disabling of Java from within Ubot?

Ya, Definitely a Bill Gates Web Browser Problem...It's always something with these turkeys,,,Vista Sucks, IE sucks!!!

Cool,.. Thanks Aaron, Suppose I better look at my computer than....

Ya, just keep watching the videos...I have also started keeping a notebook for tricky things like working with lists,files ect....It helps to right down the steps Seth does in his video tutorials and then annotate next to those steps what Ubot is doing in your own words, if you can't figure out what Ubot is doing on a particular step then coming here is a good place to ask a question.

Has anyone tried this yet??? I tried it again today with the same problem as expected...

I am creating a bunch of subs, and the nodes in each of these subs are real similar, is there a way to copy and paste more than one node at the same time? I would prefer to just collect all the nodes in a particular sub and paste them all into the new sub I am working on. Also, It would be nice to just copy and paste a sub and rename it, that's actually better than copy and paste of each node. If any of this stuff can be done I would love to hear how you guys are doing it... Thanks, Gene

I'm not sure what is causing this problem but I am trying to create a bot that logs into www.selfgrowth.com and when I click the login button from ubot it crashes ubot. I used ccleaner to clear cookies ect, rebooted my computer, and it's the same thing over and over... Any idea's???

Cool, thanks Alcr..

Just from screwing around on a bot I am creating I have managed to create a long list of useless variables and old sub names that I no longer use, in fact, as the bot progresses the programing gets more difficult sifting through all the useless clutter. Is there a way to remove all this useless stuff?

A Ubot is worth a thousand words....You are awesome bluegoat.....Thanks buddy

I'm sure this is an easy one but I can't seem to make it work. I am trying to import spinnable text via UI open file. When I go to use the text in a field on a webpage it fills the field with the complete path of the txt file, for example C:\articles\article1\article.txt Can someone give a simple rundown for me how you would go about opening a text file that included spinnable text through a UI and how that variable would be added to a node so it could be used in a field somewhere on a webpage? Seths UI tutorial didn't cover UI open file, he just mentioned it. Thanks for helping out.

Ahhh of course!!!! Da...Thanks

Hi Everyone, I am still poking around with Ubot and making some good progress... I have a question about creating lists and writing to a file. I am working on an account creation bot that creates a single account from a list of websites. Each site has its own sub. The idea is that I run the first sub, it creates an account and writes the username and pw to a list and then I save the list to file. I then run the next sub and it does the exact same thing; it writes the username and pw to a list and ideally it would append this data to the same file created in sub 1. Of course this is not worki

Hi Aaron, can you expand a little on this? I have a list of 10 private proxies IP:PORT:UN:PW that I use. How do you get this to work in a sub window?

Hi Guys, I am trying to use the sub window to navigate off page briefly to complete some account creation stuff. I can't seem to make the sub window stay open unless I put a pause node in my script which keeps me from doing anything else other than loading the page. Can someone explain to me what I am doing wrong? A simple example of what I am doing is this: IN SUB WINDOW>NAV>MY URL... Hit Run... The script pops open, loads the page and then closes... I would like to take the scripting a few steps further... Any Idea's? Thanks, Gene

Thanks webautomationlab, I thought I was going crazy, it's good to know at least it's not me..This would be a great feature, especially for those of us who work with multiple accounts that need individual attention. Cheers, Gene

Great script Bluegoat. To expand a little and this is probably pretty easy but I can't figure it out. How can I go about filling a UI list box with information from a csv file? The idea, is to have a list of accounts in csv format, that I could load into ubot, which shows up in a UI box, and then I could just select an account and login with it. So far I have managed to import the csv into you bot, and break the csv apart into seperate lists. From their I am kind of frozen. Look forward to all your replies.

I suppose this is a kind of "nevermind" update as I did a search for the term "column" and found all kinds of stuff on the subject. I still haven't figured it out but I think I have enough to get me started.
