Hi all, Ok if you haven't read the first tutorial then here it is: http://www.ubotstudio.com/forum/index.php?/topic/15245-run-ubot-software-on-iphones-step-by-step-tutorial/ The next thing I want to mention here is what I think is the next logical step moving away from 24/7 bots to bots on demand. I've made a video doing a macro version of the whole process, with a live running example for you to view. Watch the 2:25 seconds in full screen mode so as you can fully see what's going on. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HXici3opx4Y What's happening here? I input data into a form. For

Hi Stuck how exactly? Where to put the exe? Where to put the batch file? I keep all the exe and batch files together for each project. e.g. c:\specificbot\bot.exe for the exe and for the batch c:\specificbot\bot.bat

Just wanted to chime in here again and say how much this software helps me. Great job again Nick!

So far I have ran two training courses on how to create and sell software to local businesses. I've made competitor monitoring bots, update Website bots, twitter lead generation bots, video creation bots, pricing tables updating bots, local media site monitoring (lead gen), cheaper calls bot (twilio and php integration), derivative type bots (generate HTML pages and upload the content) and lots more. I usually get the business owner to tell me what software they need and agree a fixed monthly fee to make it. Most of my bots are made for local businesses. I usually do SaaS and give them a w

Similar to quite_interesting: Have a list numbered 1-10. Randomly take a number between 1 and 10. Add THAT random number to a list. Now, REMOVE that number from the original list. If that number is 1,2 or 3 then post a comment. So let's say the number 3 is randomly selected. It removes that from the original list and adds it to the new list, then goes to post the comment. Next time the random number runs, let's say it's again 3, it checks to see does it exist in the new list. If it does, go again for a random number (in this case it does). So, you will need to check the new list

Very true! Every day iI come up with something new and ubot helps turn that idea into reality, quickly!

Ok folks, below is a youtube video of the entire walk through for developing the php file, creating the database, DB table and naming all the columns. It takes literally just one minute to do automically as opposed to 15-20 minutes the manual way. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lTEgReHRoYU&feature=youtu.be

Folks Just a quick update for you. Later this week, or possibly later today, I'll share a video with you of me automating the whole jotform > php file creation > database set up and table creation + columns. I use it all the time when I want to make a new automated bot. You'll love it and it will save you all the steps above. However, you need to know how to do all of the steps above in order to understand the whole process. Sometimes you might need to make minor tweaks to the php file and understanding the flow like you've learnt will enable you to move through this so much quicker.

What about trying to read the file rather than downloading it if it's giving you trouble? The beauty of ubot is if one door closes often another one opens! Read in file as you will have the path anyhow. Good luck!

If jotform won't allow passwords then you could always custom make your own php forms to submit the data to a database? I'm sure you could find a tutorial easily enough, or odesk the task. Thanks for the heads up though!

I run a lot of my software on a vps. You can purchase a vps for around 150$ per month, perhaps even cheaper. My one costs me $225 and I'm paying for additional ram.

It takes me about 5 mins simply as I created a bot to do the whole database setup for me. However, manually it would take between 20-30 mins

Did you try navigating to the location that the icon would take you to? This would save clicking on the icon.

I hope you all have a most enjoyable time over the season break. In other news I'm in San Francisco for a few days if any ubotters want to meet up for a coffee. Am near union square (surprise surprise). Kev

Tony that would be ideal. Do you have a link to a resource that would show how to set up a trigger?

That's what the problem was all along - it wasn't reaching the Stop Script - I was following along with the code and it dawned on me that this needs to be inside a thread and it appears to be working now whilst in the dev platform (v5) - I'll compile this and double check. I double checked an old bot that I had running continuously and it seems I removed it from a thread before giving it to a customer as I didn't want it flashing open every 30 mins... and I just assumed it was a problem with the compiler then. It looks like auto start isnt working for me on a compiled version of this bot in

Update: The problem was I forgot to thread it... doh! working as it should. Hi all, When I shell out to a batch file I have a small wait for 2 seconds and then a Stop Script. This has ALWAYS worked for me. All old bots compiled work fine with this stop script. Any new bots compiled now do NOT STOP running. It's odd. Here's the code I'm using ui stat monitor("Count", #counter) set(#counter, 1, "Global") loop while(#counter <= 10) { wait(1) if(#counter = 10) { then { WAS MISSING THE THREAD shell("C:\\stopbot\\stop.bat") wait(2)

SELECT * FROM `TABLENAME` ORDER BY `COLUMNNAME` LIMIT 1That is probably what you were looking for, if using ORDER BY But if not, SELECT * FROM `TABLENAME` LIMIT 1Should do it just fine.

Is your table called "order"? Just curious cause it's an unusual name and so close to the sql syntax "ORDER BY"

Hi all, Any ubotters gearing up for Black Friday? I bet there are lots of ubot members who'd love to pick up a sweet Black Friday deal whether it's source code or plugins or bots! Post here if you're gonna be in on BF with an awesome deal!

I'm all about service bots. Can you share what you did with your bot?

Ho about scraping their first name and allowing that to be added to the message you're sending them?

Hi Jobot, Welcome to the ubot community! I'm very much in this space - I make tools for local businesses and also for my customers to sell to local businesses. Do you have ideas to bring to the partnership or are you looking more for inspiration at this moment in time?

When you Shell out to the batch file, simply do a Stop Script and that should shut the original bot down for you.

I'm just joining the dots, that is all
