hannahmcintyre 2 Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 Hey, I've run into one problem so far while making a bot to install WP themes and plugins: When I find a theme or a plugin I want in the "Add New" part of the dashboard, and I click "Install", a popup window pops up with a description and another button to really install the item. However, I can't seem to get ubot to click on that second button. Choose by attribute and choose by position don't work. Anyone know how to get it working? Thanks!

I'm terrible with ubot right now but I'm getting better (99% of my code is "choose by attribute -> click chosen -> wait finish") Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Would you mind posting a screenshot of the window/button you're having trouble getting uBot to select/click on? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hannahmcintyre 2 Posted January 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 Yeah, no problem: it's the "Install Now" button I circled in red. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wacek 0 Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 simple instead of clicking the link, just navigate to:/wp-admin/update.php?action=install-plugin&plugin=wp-show-unresponded-comments&_wpnonce=81f0083ff4 so you need just $plugin name and $_wponce to get earlier and you're ready to go have fun Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Confuscius 1 Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 The way to get around this issue is to avoid going to the iframe in the first instance! Open WP in a normal browser window and look at the urls that you want to vist to install the software and you will see something like: http: // www. DOMAIN NAME .com/wp-admin/plugin-install.php?tab=plugin-information&plugin=akismet&TB_iframe=true&width=640&height=483 SO if you 'nav' to : http: // www. DOMAIN NAME .com/wp-admin/plugin-install.php?tab=plugin-information&plugin=akismet then you may be surprised!!!! Then select the Install button by href and wildcards and * the wpnonce variable as this will vary blog by blog. Then click chosen and watch what happens! HTH Going directly to where you NEED to be rather than navigating through loads of menus makes bots a lot simpler! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hannahmcintyre 2 Posted January 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 Perfect, thanks guys! I really appreciate it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CreativeWurks 9 Posted September 24, 2011 Report Share Posted September 24, 2011 anyone know how to use ubot 4 to better handle this? I tried image recognition but it does not handle the "install plugin?" popup that appears. It doesnt appear when coding the bot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
