Checking Sign Up

[PurpleSector 0]

I want to make sure when I sign up to a site, in this case Wikis, that the sign up is correct. Since many Wikis are in other languages than English, the only way to check is by searching for the username used. However, it doesn't work. I don't know how many different ways I have tried. The result is always the same, it doesn't find the username.

 

For example you could try to scrape the following attribute (in German):

 

<a href="/mediawiki/index.php?title=Benutzer:Dfgdfg" title="Eigene Benutzerseite [alt-.]" accesskey="." class="new">Username</a>

 

from this site: http://computerschule-niederrad.de:7080/mediawiki/index.php?title=Spezial:Anmelden&type=signup

 

The username is also present in a headline, but that didn't work either. I have tried to use the document text and other ways to verify the sign up, but to no avail.

 

Any help welcome!

Have you tried logging out, wait a few seconds, then logging in? If it allows you to log in, it accepted your sign up.

Yeah, it can be done in that way but that takes too much time. Speed is very important when you have thousands of URLs to check to see if they are valid.

Use the search function not scrape to determine if signup successful

I have tried that as well, but it doesn't work properly. About half of the time is doesn't find the user name for some reason. I have tried to add Wait for several seconds but still doesn't work.

This is working for me...

 

navigate("http://computerschule-niederrad.de:7080/mediawiki/index.php?title=Spezial:Anmelden&type=signup", "Wait")
set(#username, "{$account data("Username")}{$rand(01, 100)}", "Global")
set(#password, $account data("Password"), "Global")
run javascript("document.getElementsByName(\"wpName\")[0].value =\"{#username}\";")
run javascript("document.getElementById(\"wpPassword2\").value =\"{#password}\";")
run javascript("document.getElementById(\"wpRetype\").value =\"{#password}\";")
run javascript("document.getElementById(\"wpEmail\").value =\"{$account data("Email")}\";")
run javascript("document.getElementById(\"wpRealName\").value =\"{$account data("First name")} {$account data("Last name")}\";")
click(<name="wpCreateaccount">, "Left Click", "No")
wait(3)
wait for browser event("Page Loaded", "")
if($exists(<id="pt-userpage">)) {
   then {
       add item to list(%results, "{$url},{#username},{#password}", "Delete", "Global")
   }
}

 

HTH,
