Bot-Factory 602 Posted June 3, 2014 Report Share Posted June 3, 2014 Hello Ubotters, what web languages would you recommend if you wanted to convert a ubot app into a web app?Are there any frameworks available that could be used for similar tasks? Some kind of web automation framework in php / perl? Thanks for your feedbackDan 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
the_way 52 Posted June 3, 2014 Report Share Posted June 3, 2014 maybe a better question would be, how much would Seth Mcubot need from us to build in php/python export functionality. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kev123 132 Posted June 3, 2014 Report Share Posted June 3, 2014 Im starring to look at this area and will probably make a simple tool for conversion. Im far from ready and need to do a lot of learning first. Maybe someone who has done this before could give us all some tips such as best language vps, performance needed etc Quote Link to post Share on other sites
the_way 52 Posted June 3, 2014 Report Share Posted June 3, 2014 why don't we do a community based conversion plugin? we get it for free as long as we contribute to writing the code Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kreatus (Ubot Ninja) 422 Posted June 3, 2014 Report Share Posted June 3, 2014 A plugin or standalone software to convert ubot codes to php would be a killer. Hope someone creates it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HelloInsomnia 1103 Posted June 3, 2014 Report Share Posted June 3, 2014 Interesting idea, subscribing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kev123 132 Posted June 3, 2014 Report Share Posted June 3, 2014 A plugin is overkill just a simple conversion script would work. I'm happy to make but not for a while as I am busy and I first need to increase my understanding of php. First a understanding of how you set everything up for example server any special requirments? How you trigger and add to web form? Managing load etc would help a lot of people. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bot-Factory 602 Posted June 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2014 That might be a start:http://barebonescms.com/documentation/ultimate_web_scraper_toolkit/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
UBotDev 276 Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 I don't think it's that easy, since we would basically need a new compiler for that... Also if you start from scratch you would have to re-write ubot code parser, so I think it would be best if UBot team would help at that part... However, I think we would actually need a compiler for linux, since most web apps run on linux, and we also have commands which would allow us to access DB and read/store data. Besides that you can execute such programs from php and cron job as well. If you still want to do it I think that one of the most mature frameworks I know is Selenium. I actually use it via php framework for automated testing of web applications called Codeception, which by my opinion has a really lovely syntax, however, it still might have some limitations as web automation/scraping tool.
