What is the difference between %random% and %random_option% (if there is any)?

Sven

%random% does not exists but %random-1-100% which will give you a random number between 1 and 100

%random_option% will choose a random entry from a selection form box or will create a 2 chars long random word if the form field is no box but a input box.

thedatahub.ini

line 58: auto modify=2

What's the function for variable "2"?

Sven

0 = don't change anything

1 = modify content with line breaks and other things

2 = modify content with line breaks only (and on very long sentences only to make it look better)

Ozz

url must have=*://thedatahub.org/*|*://www.thedatahub.org/*

this needs to be present on static Web 2.0 sites, right? if its not present all crawled URLs which usually can not be identified yet, will be identified as a Web 2.0 with missing "url must have=".

Sven

yes, should be present for maybe later use.

Ozz

Is it helpful for SER to add the "Activation successful"-messages to "submit success=" in [Register_Step1] once an account was approved by email?

Sven

no, thats only used for form submissions right now.

Ozz

can you confirm that recaptcha (or any other captcha) fields don't need to be defined in [Register] and a field like "recaptcha_response_field=%captcha%" is useless once you have defined all other fields and disable "set unknown variable=%leave%"?

Sven

yes, recaptcha as well as adcopy and adscaptcha are handled automatically. No need to define that.

Ozz

good to know

this is fixing one of my bugs to test new engines. GSA logged "captcha not solvable by service" in those cases.

Sven

Yes might be because you only use CS as captcha system?

Ozz

no, for testing i use shanibpo as 2nd service only

Ozz

Is there a way to limit %random_options% to specific number or range if the field has multiple checkboxes?

I'm asking just of curiosity, because I scripted a Web 2.0 which is working to some point (finally!!). However, the languages my character can speak are...

Languages spoken: English, Cantonese, Mandarin, Japanese, German, Itallian, Burmese, Shanghainese, Vietnamese

BTW, I want to use this engine for another tutorial how to script Web 2.0's. 

Sven

hmm you can use also the direct value like ..=English or if the values or captions of that form variable are numbers you can also use %random-X-Y% (X=min, Y=max). But the random_option is really only choosing something randomly.

Ozz

thx, it's not that important anyway. i was just asking for the case it might come in handy. i don't know, if this case exists (probably never)

Ozz

Is this a "form id=" or not? this form is labeled as "form class=signup_form_login_lb".

Sven

The "form id" is really only the id="xyz" in the form tag.  The name="xyz" is used for the "form name" variable in the following way:

form name=<name> - <button caption>

or

form name=FORMX - <button caption> if no "name=" is used in that form (X represents the form position on that website 1,2,3...).

awint

i do not get this
web=%url_domain%%url_path%%url_parameters%

Is it the same as web=%url%?   

any different?

Sven

it is skipping http:// and https:// as that is probably not wanted here.

I need to extract password, often in different language ex. of email

login: %login%
password: %password%


login: %login%
haslo: %password%

[pass_pw]

type=extract

front1=%login%

front2=\n

front3=.*:

back1=\n

back2=<

remove html=1

static=1

Not working, is it possible to handle that?

andrzejek

front1=: %login%

to match better in case there is "welcome %login%" 

Sven

have alook in the drupal - blog engine. I used that : %login

andrzejek

Can you implement things like that ex. xrumer http://pastebin.com/WY4gWbKU

• 0 - a reference to lowercase,
• 1 - a reference as it is in the HTML -code,
• 2 - link with the anchor text in the lower register,
• 3 - The text before the link (introduced in XRumer 7.7.42),
• 4 - reference parameter «ID» (introduced in XRumer 7.7.42),
• 5 - setting the reference «CLASS» (introduced in XRumer 7.7.42)

AddLinkRule ([1, 'board,',
1, '. 0.htm',
1, 'action', false
], URL_TOVIEW);

This rule specifies the program that all the references that contain «board» and «.0.htm«, but do not contain «action» - are on view in this section of the forum.

something to ignore forms: http://pastebin.com/wEtvutwq

{IN_FORM}type="submit" name="lostpwsubmit"

?task=edit_profile&done=avatar

Sven

even though it looks good, I don't see much use in this. XRummer seems to do all this checking for any submission. Even for engines not being part of the definition. This costs time and resources and I don'T see any advantage (except for form class parsing).

andrzejek

Good points, and yes class/id seems ok.

Will that work?

[variable]
type=memo

must be filled=1

default=1

try to continue without verification=%variable%

Sven

will not work as macros are not resolved in this. 

andrzejek

easycalccheck=%question% <label for='easycalccheck'>;<input

can you explain how that works?

Sven

this will extract the question text between <label for='easycalccheck'> and <input. If you do not specify anything behind %question%, it is trying to get that automatically (test between two input fields).

andrzejek

Can you explain how mathematic captchas are solved?
E.x i wonder how ser will perform on + and - signs in different languages like example of question:

400 plus 200 equals (english)
400 dodac 200 rowne (polish)

etc.

And how we can modify them 

Sven

Have a look in the file calc_replace.dat. A question is extracted, chars in it are replaced with that data and then a math task as 1 + 2 is searched for. If found, its a math to be solved for it.
