gumtree oz ads poster problem

[hanapco 0]

I'm trying out ubot and decided to create an ads poster for gumtree australia. I'm having two problems

1. I'm getting a validation error when I run preview but I know all required fields where entered, looks like gumtree can tell it's a bot because if i enter same details manually I can go to preview.

2. How can I automate the picture upload, the way it works is a file browser shows and after choosing file it's uploaded as soon as it is selected. Tried the change file but didn't work.

 

Thanks for any help

You have to make sure the image is the right format. Works fine for me when I use png, or jpeg...

Will GIF format works especially for those ads that are moving?

It looks like it, yes:

JohnB, were you able to preview even without the file upload? Thanks

Have you managed to get this to work yet?

 

I tried this on the au gumtree site and it seemed to work find for the image upload.

 

change file field(<name="file">, #image_file)

 

I have a UK Gumtree bot which is working fine, although every now and then they change something so it can't login. Have had to change the bot twice so far because of this.
