  1. Are you using type text command?

     

    contact support about the posting limit. They will remove it for you.

     

    I was using the change attribute command, not the type text.

     

    I have a number of things I'll have to test. I'm making a web 2.0 bot and some sites don't like email addresses from certain domains, some sites seem to be able to detect whether you're using a proxy (I'm using HMA pro vpn).

     

    I have to test a bunch of different things and start figuring out which variables are causing the problems. I was just wondering if anyone else had similar issues and if they were able to figure out a way to get past them.

     

     

    Update:

    I'm editing this post because I still need 3 more posts before I can post more than once per day and I don't feel like opening a support ticket. Next - I got xanga to work by using the type text command to fill in all of the fields instead of using the change attribute command. Maybe that info will help someone.

     

    Also, myspace seems to be able to detect HMA pro vpn because it kept redirecting me to google.com. When I tried to run the bot without a proxy it worked. Out of curiosity I tried a number of web based proxies and just tried to go to myspace.com in my firefox browser and it redirected to google.com until I used http://newipnow.com. When using that web based proxy I was able to navigate to myspace.com without being redirected.

  2. I am having trouble automating the sign ups at some sites like xanga and blog.com. When my bot fills out all of the necessary information and then clicks the "register" or "next" button on xanga the page sort of resets and the password fields go blank. On blog.com a message comes up that says try again as if I got the captcha wrong.

     

    The problem is I entered the captchas 30+ times and I know I got it right on most of them. When I sign up manually I have no problem but when the bot tries to sign up it's as if the captcha is wrong every time.

     

    Is anyone else having this issue?

     

    PS.

    I won't be able to respond to this post until tomorrow because I am still limited to just one post per day. :angry:

  3. I have suggested several times in the Enhancement area that we need (at the very least) two additional nodes.

     

    1. Add to List from Table Row

    2. Add to List from Table Column

     

    I would suggest throwing it back to the Enhancement area again. That's all we can do except write more code.

     

    I would love to see those additions. It would be so much easier than doing it the way mentioned above and I have found myself wishing I could create a list from a table column many times.

  4. This is one of those times we need a Add to List from a Table Column or Row. I have begged for this since v3.5.

     

    Table scrape is such a powerful function yet there are still shortcomings.

     

    TJ's solution is still the best alternative for now.

     

    I would love that function as well. There are work arounds for it but it would be so much easier if there were a simple command that would let you add a row or a column to a list. Where is the petition for me to sign? :)

  5. I'm having a similar issue. It's as if the "new line" connector is not working. I've tried other commands to see if they would work and I could put random text in between the list items but the new line connector just doesn't seem to be working.

     

    Here is a copy of the code I'm using:

     

    navigate("http://ubotstudio.com/playground/simpleform.aspx", "Wait")
    wait for browser event("Page Loaded", "")
    ui open file("List of items", #list of items)
    add list to list(%list of items, $list from file(#list of items), "Delete", "Global")
    type text(<about me textarea>, $text from list(%list of items, $new line), "Standard")

     

     

    In the choose file UI I am just selecting a file that has a few urls saved one per line. The bot pastes them in one after another with no new line even though the new line command is in the code.

     

    If I put some other separator in there it will show up, for example if I put "xxxxx" as the connector the x's will show up but the new line connector doesn't seem to be working.

     

     

    EDIT -

     

    I'm not sure why but this has been happening to me for days, it seems I can only make a new post in this forum once per 24 hours (although I can edit my previous posts???)

     

    I keep getting the following error message when I try to make a post:

    403 - Forbidden: Access is denied.

     

    You do not have permission to view this directory or page using the credentials that you supplied.

     

     

    Anyway,

    The issue has been fixed the lists are now being pasted in with the new line connector functioning properly. :)

  6. Adam, if you set a variable outside the loop (i.e. #position) to 0 and increment inside the loop (using that variable as the list position, you will always have a running list position number assigned to that variable. Does that make sense?

     

    John

     

    That makes sense but it's still not working for me. I couldn't post for some reason yesterday but I was able to edit my other post (no idea why) so I pasted in the code that I was working with. Something else must be wrong still, I'm just not sure what it is.

  7. I know this is a very old post but I'm trying to replicate this in ubot version 4 and it's not working for me. I need to be able to go through a list, find an item, and have the bot tell me what position the found item is at. The example bot here works great in ubot version 3 but I can't get it to work in version 4.

     

     

    For some reason I can not reply to this thread (getting an error meassage) but I can edit my previous post???

     

    Anyway, @ JohnB, yes that makes sense but I'm still doing something wrong and I'm not sure what exactly. For testing I was just using a list of the alphabet from a to z. In the UI I input a letter and when I run the bot it's supposed to return the current list position (the numeric position of the letter I chose) it's just not working though.

     

    Here is the code I'm using. If I can figure it out I'm going to make a serp rank tracker because I'm having a lot of issues with Market Samurai right now. :-(

     

     

    clear list(%list to search)
    ui open file("list to search", #list to search)
    ui text box("item to search for", #item to search for)
    add item to list(%list to search, $read file(#list to search), "Delete", "Global")
    set(#current list position, 0, "Global")
    loop($list total(%list to search)) {
       if($comparison($list item(%list to search, #current list position), "=", #item to search for)) {
           then {
               load html(#current list position)
           }
           else {
           }
       }
       increment(#current list position)
    }
    

  8. I made a bot that scrapes google urls and I like to change settings to turn off google instant and show 100 results per page. It was working fine before but now when I click the save preferences button I'm getting an error message. You can not save preferences unless you allow 3rd party cookies and I'm getting a message that says "your cookies seem to be disabled".

  9. its TJ bud. But you are very welcome. I plan to release the updated bot soon. removing a couple things that deem useless in the version everyone has tried. keeping the really good and best search types, and adding in a few new things and making things more simplified.

     

    Bot will prolly cost a messily $5.00

     

    I would like to know when this bot is ready. I'd buy it for $5. :-)

  10. Another site that had a small issue was multiply.com. When I was signing up some survey offer poped up and I couldn't close it or click on "no thanks" - I had to pause the bot, do it manually and then resume the bot.

     

    I'm looking forward to June too. :-)

  11. Thanks for your interest in UBot 4. If you want to send the site(s) you are working with my way along with the exact issues you are having I can do my best to make sure that UBot 4 is handling those situations better.

     

    Trying to make sites at weebly, the drag and drop is something I couldn't figure out. Webs.com is the same way, I can't figure out how to add content to their site. As I work my way through this bot I can make more detailed notes of exactly what's going on. Right now my bot is just semi-automated, if I can't figure out how to automate something I use a javascript pop up alert to tell me what needs to be done manually before I resume the bot.

  12. I'm anxiously awaiting V4. I've been working on a web 2.0 bot and I've had problems with a number of pages. Not being able to fill certain fields or click certain buttons. If V4 really can speed things up and make creating bots rediculously easy I will be very VERY happy :-)

     

    Now all I can do is sit here and salivate until June (hopefully).

  13. I'm getting the same error.

     

    Just fyi, I upgraded to pro version about a week or so ago. Not sure if that makes any difference.

     

    Corey

     

    I upgraded to the pro version too and my first compiled bot worked fine. But then a new stable release of ubot came out and after updating to the newest version my compiled bots are showing the same error. Hopefully we'll get another update soon.

  14. I know this is an old post but thank you guys. This was both the question I had and the answer I was looking for. Gotta love the search function, I always use the search function before asking a question in the forum.

  15. any developer out their please send me a pm of the list of bots that you developed your prices for the source code

     

    or better yet use this for your bot list and list price

     

    I like this idea and I would keep an eye on this thread if people posted the source code for bots or even parts of bots.

  16. Jon Leger is coming out with a keyword tool in a couple of days that will scrape keywords from the suggestions the big three search engines give. I have no idea what the cost will be yet and I would also be interested in learning if ubot is capable of scraping that data.

  17. Thanks. I should have just googled first. Pretty sweet plugin and I had no clue it existed.

     

    I'm bumping this thread because I would love to know how to make a serp rank checker with ubot as well. The firefox plugin is not working for me. It is only showing yahoo results. I would love to have my own, reliable rank checker. So many of the free ones either don't work or only tell you what page your site ranks on and not exactly which position. Page one is great but there is a big difference between being number 1 and being number 10.

     

    Has anyone done this with ubot?

     

    Thanks.
