find url will extract all urls and take the one matching the mask. If that does not give any url, it will try the one in "alternative url. That .\ simply means it is adding that path to the current path.
the first is a mask where every found link on that current site is getting matched against "find url" and "find link". The best match will be taken. So you can of course use anything here that comes with * like *googurl*
The second is no mask at all but the URL that should get used when no link is found. Of course using * is an invalid char here and not a valid URL. Using ./ in that second statement will give it a browse to that relative path of that current URL you are on.
and want to link to a relative sublink from here. Then you write <a href="../../../categories">... or if you want to link to a file on the same path it would be <a href="./other.html". And thats what you do with alternative url=./tiki-register.php as you do not know what full domain you are at when you script this.
I can tell from my little experience that you should ;
skip ext links on=0 , set this to 1 instead of 0 so it respect projects settings on outbound links , it should be 1 by default don't know why you set it to 0 by default ? it's misleading for many people ( me included until recently)
set a user agent for the captcha to be easy
I don't have the knowledge to troubleshoot the script so waiting for sven or someone to help fix this engine as of now it's not working
hello there , I have just noticed that all this is not needed in the tikiwiki.ini file because when I delete all this nothing change in the config can you explain please why you put it there ? or am I missing something ?

skip ext links on <<< I set that on when an engine builds a new page on it's own...then that setting should not be checked. --- that fields are defined by other engines. try deleting this and use only the engine and you will see it is making a difference.
can you explain in details , I understand a little but some info is not clear
skip ext links on = when it's on , it means it tell ser to take in consideration the option in the program , when it's off it does not care about the number of links on the page . I hope you get the idea
about the fields yes I tried this before posting , I unchecked everything expect tiki wiki

it disappear from the project options but the other options mentionned earlier don't make any change to the project page ie : the fields don't get deleted
because they are used in the script with %varname% and then SER knows they are defined by other engines. Seriously, why making a big deal out of this now? I don't get what your problem is with the variable definitions.

If that does not give any url, it will try the one in "alternative url.
That .\ simply means it is adding that path to the current path.
I would like to know the meaning of * and . in ser eyes ?
Thanks

because you are literally giving the same url twice
If you open a website as in here...

and want to link to a relative sublink from here. Then you write <a href="../../../categories">...
or if you want to link to a file on the same path it would be <a href="./other.html".
And thats what you do with alternative url=./tiki-register.php as you do not know what full domain you are at when you script this.
how can I copy the passcode from the same page as it's available there , to fill it in the right place ?
Thanks sven
[passcode_to_register]
type=extract
front=.prepend("<b>Passcode to register:</b>
back="
then use
passcode=%passcode_to_register%
when submitting the form
and also why you use back = " ??
Thanks
[..]prepend("<b>Passcode to register:</b> CODE"[..]
but the script is not working it needs to be updated , can you troubleshoot it ?
