The registration process works basically for me, but it has to be changed to create a username with lower case letters only. Also "find link=%login%" in STEP_1 needs to be changed as %login% isn't the username in this case but rather a combination of %first name% and %last name%.
I suppose another problem I see in this platform is to find the url field in "Edit Profiles" as it is hidden at first and is seen only once you hit the "Show Advanced" button. All fields are shown in the html source code though.
Possible link targets are URL=, Interests= and a blog (for articles) like most wiki platforms have.
Many more footprints can be made by changing the language on the moodle platform. I've already created footprints for english, german, french, italian and portuguese as long as some general footprints.
Edit: I wanted to "Remove Hyperlinks" in this post, but it isn't working for me if I mark the URLs and click "Remove Hyperlinks".

Great research. :-)
I will work on this tomorrow (if I got some time) and add it to the default list of supported engines if you don't mind.

Feel free to add this \:D/
Edit: submit success=You are logged in as %login% (Logout) [in Register Step 1]
"%login%" has to be a combination of "%name% %lastname%"

I am almost done with this engine. Though it is not really worth the work (except for me optimizing the system as this one had a lot strange things in it).
All links are only visible for members only except blogs who are tagged as "visible to world". And not much allowed this so far.

I didn't know as my sample size wasn't that huge (most registered by hand) and someone at BHW mentioned it before.
This footprint give you the best results with public profiles:
OK I think I got it all right. Next version has this as default. Thanks for all the work Ozz!

Thanks to Ozz for taking this platform up - just to clarify, is this platform (as you both have programmed it) going to select 'visible to world' so as to leave a linkback?

I didn't have time to inspect the script by now as my script was pretty basic and full of errors so I couldn't check this out.
But I'm testing it right now to figure out how its performing.
Edit: I've four PR+2 dofollow backlinks with my pre-scraped list so far

Looks good - I assume you can see those nice PR links without being logged in?

It posts public blog-articles as well as public profiles if availabe.
12 backlinks from PR1-PR6 so far. Still counting...
this is something new I guess and I think it is for the article submission.

Ha that's awesome. Can't wait to play around with this.

yes the "extra submission" will be a new option soon...so people stop arguing about "why elgg or wiki is not posting my article but just a link on user page".
I prefer not to post articles there but many ppl want it.

Ahhh, yes I can vouch for this Moodle platform - seems to be working fine with some nice PR links being discovered through a custom scrape - nice one!
