Blogger Post Problem

Post by msalperen » Wed Feb 08, 2006 11:35 am

Hello, I've created this script to automatically post some information to my bloger pages. Everything seems correct till the level of inflating the content into the blogger form. It does not type the content "trial post" into the related form. I suppose that the problem maybe about the hidden form structture but I couldn't solve it. The macro code waits extremely
long time in this line:

URL GOTO=http://www.blogger.com/post-create.g?blogID=16266475

and finishes without filling the form in. Note: Extraction seems correct.

VERSION BUILD=5030127
TAB T=1
TAB CLOSEALLOTHERS
SIZE X=1004 Y=723
SET !VAR1 {{!EXTRACT}}
URL GOTO=en.wikipedia.org
TAG POS=1 TYPE=A ATTR=TXT:someattributionhere
TAG POS=1 TYPE=HTML ATTR=TXT:
EXTRACT POS=1 TYPE=HTM ATTR=<DIV<SP>id=bodyContent>*
URL GOTO=http://www.blogger.com/post-create.g?blogID=16266475
TAB T=1
FRAME F=1
WAIT SECONDS=#DOWNLOADCOMPLETE#
TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:SUBMIT FORM=NAME:stuffform ATTR=NAME:htmlPostBody CONTENT=trial<SP>post
TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:SUBMIT FORM=NAME:stuffform ATTR=NAME:publishPost&&VALUE:Publish<SP>Post

Thank you

a good way to test things is just put that line of code in a macro and see what happens. Is it loading the page?

Try running just

TAB T=1
TAB CLOSEALLOTHERS
URL GOTO=http://www.blogger.com/post-create.g?blogID=16266475

and see what happens. Also, you might try deleteing your cookies and then don't auto login and build those login lines to your script.

I am having the exact same problem. My thought is there is some code running on bloggers back end that is keeping the page from thinking it has been loaded. did you ever figure this out? or is there a way you can make a page not wait for it to be loaded?

I'm also experiencing this problem. Where there is some code running on bloggers back end that is keeping the page from thinking it has been loaded. Is there a way you can make a page not waiting when it is loading?

You may set !TIMEOUT to a value smaller than the default 60 seconds and additionally use !ERRORIGNORE in order to make the macro ignore the timeout.

How about the workaround mentioned above?

The following worked fine for me:

Code: Select all

VERSION BUILD=6600525     
TAB T=1     
TAB CLOSEALLOTHERS     
URL GOTO=<MY BLOG'S URL>
SET !TIMEOUT 2
SET !ERRORIGNORE YES
TAG POS=1 TYPE=A ATTR=TXT:New<SP>Post   
SET !ERRORIGNORE NO
SET !TIMEOUT 60
