[Help]Guttefrage Thumbs up Bot

[crespozooo 1]

It's a site similar to yahoo answers. I just can't figure it out how to thumbs up a certain user. Tried all method, even offsets are random.

example: http://www.gutefrage.net/frage/kennt-jemand-gute-ego-shooter-spiele-fuer-playstation-3

so a thumbs up would be a "ja" ?

No, he means after logging in to the site. There are small symbols left of the user answers. He want's to click on those.

I took a quick look. 

 

When you select the thumbs up element you have to move the mouse up to the number a little bit. So that the blue area and the number is slected.

 

Wrong:

<tagname="a">

 

Correct:

<class="diggIt">

 

The right click element is:

click($element offset(<class="diggIt">, 3), "Left Click", "No")

 

There the numbers don't change. They are in the exact order. 

 

Now you only have to figure out the correct position. Scraping all the usernames into a list and then finding the name you are looking for should give you the right position. 

But be careful! The element number starts with 1  and the list starts with 0. So if the username is list item2, then the element is 3.

Tried that also, seems like it's not clicking on thumbs up. Maybe I'm doing something wrong. You tested it by run node?

Actually that helped me too

Did you manage to give thumps up with dan's method? If so,how? I click run node and it's not working.

[Bot-Factory 602]

Hmm... It's not clicking the element for me either... In HTTP mode I would know a solution :-)

But the click elements stuff is a bit strange. 

 

I played around with:

click($element child($element offset(<class="diggIt">, 6)), "Left Click", "No")

 

But that didn't work either. I'm not sure if $element child does work with the click command?

Hi, you'll need the sibling of the child of the offset (lol, if it wasn't confusing enough already  ):

 

click($element sibling($element child($element offset(<class="diggIt">, 2))), "Left Click", "No")

 

All the best,

Marton

Diggit belongs the number of likes that comment has. Has nothing to do with thumbs up .

Marton's method worked fine. Thanks!

Hmm.. that's interesting. 

 

Could you show an example with the html code of that site?

 

The answer element starts with:

<div class="answer clearfix">

 

Then the elements I already voted on have:

<div class="diggedIt">3</div>

 

and the elements I didn't vote yet have:

<div class="diggIt">0</div>

 

So we are selecting the diggIt class.

 

Then with element child we select <div class="answer clearfix"> right?

 

But I don't understand what element we click now exactly?

 

I'm confused...I'm more used to fiddler traces these days :-)

how can I find the position of a username in a list? for example I have a list of 5 elements as it follows:

a

b

c

d

e

and I want to store inside a variable the position of the fourth element, "d", which is 4

Lists a zero based so d is list item 3

 

clear list(%items)

add list to list(%items, $list from text("a

b

c

d

e

f", $new line), "Delete", "Global")

set(#find, "d", "Global")

set(#listposition, $eval("var items = [\"{$replace(%items, $new line, "\",\"")}\];

var position = items.indexOf(\"{#find}\");

position;"), "Global")

[crespozooo 1]

WTF I ran it and debugger gave me -1 instead of 4. Hmmm

Lists a zero based so d is list item 3

 

clear list(%items)
add list to list(%items, $list from text("a
b
c
d
e
f", $new line), "Delete", "Global")
set(#find, "d", "Global")
set(#listposition, $eval("var items = [\"{$replace(%items, $new line, "\",\"")}\];
var position = items.indexOf(\"{#find}\");
position;"), "Global")

crespozooo,

 

You could do it like this:

 

clear list(%items)
add list to list(%items, $list from text("a
b
c
d
e
f", $new line), "Delete", "Global")
set(#find, "d", "Global")
set(#Current_List_Position, 0, "Global")
loop while($list total(%items) > #Current_List_Position) {
    if($list item(%items, #Current_List_Position) = #find) {
        then {
            set(#listposition, #Current_List_Position, "Global")
            alert("Found it at position: {#listposition}")
            set(#Current_List_Position, $add($list total(%items), 1), "Global")
        }
        else {
            set(#Current_List_Position, $add(#Current_List_Position, 1), "Global")
        }
    }
}

go into the eval
then replace
where it says replace text
and the value is "," 
quote the input so it is not parsed as a maths expression

 

 

I think that's your problem

[crespozooo 1]

Okay solved that. New problem is: there are replies also.So when scraping users the ones who replied are also scraped.thing is the reply of reply has no thumbs up and will fuck my positioning. Any workaround?

[arunner26 51]

crespozooo

Yes, there is probably a work-around but I don't think we have enough information to suggest one.

Well let me make myself clear.I want to scrape all users from the answers because I need the order,to know on which position is my user(ex:5) and to click the 5th thumbs up button. Thing is there are replies to the answers also. And replies to the replies(which do not have a thumbs up button) which causes to fck up my order. Get it now? Like there will be more users than thumbs up buttons.
