What to do if the username field is in another form number?

[player]

Hey, normally the username field can be found in form #1. But there are sites where the username field is in #0.

I know i can set it to -1 and ZP searches for all fields, but then it can be that the wrong field is filled in with the username. E.g. a custom search field.

Is there a possibility if ZP can't find the username field in form #1, that ZP searches for it in form#0?

I tried to set it up like this:

Form # 1;0;

But that doesn't work. I could make another step branch but then my template would be twice as big, cause i have to do it for every field. And that's not what i want for a few more successful registrations.

Hey player,

Just to let you know I had that problem in my SMF forum profile creator. It kept putting the username in the search field on some sites, the login box on another and in the right spot on half of them. I just had ZP put the username in all of the boxes and it never fails. Hope that helps

 

[player]

Ah ok. You did it with -1? I think with -1 it fills out the first field ZP can find...

Even the create account button is sometimes form #1 and sometimes form #0...

 

[bigcajones]

Yes I did use -1, but I also used 0 and 1 and made three different steps right in a row. A little more work, but it takes care of everything and who cares if the other two fields are filled out. Doesn't take but a couple of milliseconds to do it so it doesn't interfere with the template too much.

PM me.

Good tip bignuts, I used to regex etc, but just filling all possible spots and just make sure to hit the right button sounds easier, thanks!

 

[player]

Ok thx...that's the thing i tried to avoid... It would be a lot easier to use one branch and put all the numbers i need in the form field and in the order i need them...Now i have to make two other branches for every field

I hope somebody reads this and can improve this in a further version...

 

[bigcajones]

Let me try putting all three in one step and see if it works that way. Get right back to you.

 

[player]

Maybe i found a workaround with the branch creator. But i have to test a lot of sites to see if it works 100%.

 

[bigcajones]

Nope, didn't work. Damn those form field numbers. Maybe one of the mods will have an answer.

 

[player]

Doesn't work for me either. I'll take the long way now...

Error creating window handle. <-- YEEEEEEEEEEEES I DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!

Now what?

 

[gcomm]

This is such a hot topic... can't wait for the mega-solution... I think you both should be promoted to "super clients"

 

[player]

I'd appreciate an official answer after 6 days...thx

So, yes. At the moment you should do it this way or like bigcajones advices.

 

[Stereomike]

could you take a counter or variable instead of a number?
Form:{variable}
Now you could check first, where your form is located (regexp the site) and set the variable accordingly.
Haven't tried it on these branches, but since ZP is really open for these stunts I think it could work.

 

[bigcajones]

The problem is the fact that there are three forms on the page with the same input:text attribute. Sometimes the one you want is form 0 sometimes form 3 and sometimes form 1 or 2. I just fill all the forms that way there's no problem. If the form is not there, for some reason it doesn't throw an error and continues so it keeps heading on.

The solution is:

Regex all forms from html source, put them to list.
First form in list = form nr. 0,
second form in list = form nr.1
....

Now we should take all forms separately (one by one) from list and extract parameters from them = url, id, name, class.
We need a database in file or variable that zennoposter will read like that example:

form url=(register.php|register)
form id=(register)
form class=(register)
form name=(register)

Now we should check if our text from database appear in these parameters and count how many matches we got for each form, then post into form that got most matches.
And if number of matches is equal in forms, we should count matches for input values of these forms.

Here is example to get all forms and put them into table sorted by form nr. form url, form class, form id, form name, but still i don't know how to count matches and pick the right form number, maybe something in C#? Maybe someone can help here.
