Hey Zennohero's,

I'm working on a template with the Goal of mass submitting my sites to few webdirectorys. I have a txt-file with all the infos like title, description, contact infos aaaaand: the directory-categorie my site should be submitted to.

So in these example in the category-line stands: "Fernstudium;Weiterbildung;Studium". A macro will split at the ";". Now I've got a select field like these (I've shortend it) one:

For example, here is one of the sites:
worldwideweb.calibratedaudio.de/add_link.php?disable_ajax=1

Should work like this, with some tuning up:

- pull out your keyword out of your text, let's say that is 'Auto Tuning'-

- get DOM/source of the page
in your case:
...
<option value="156">-- Branchenverzeichnisse</option>
<option value="155">-- Datenbanken</option>
<option value="159">-- Lexika und Wissen</option>
<option value="152">-- Meta Suchmaschinen</option>
<option value="150">-- Suchmaschinen</option>
<option value="157">-- Telefonnummern</option>
<option value="154">-- Verbraucher</option>
<option value="151">-- Webkataloge</option>
<option value="153">-- Wetter</option>
...


- then you regexp this. eg. if the category you pulled out of the text file is "Telefonnummern":
(?<=\<option\ value\=\").*?(?=\"\>--\ Telefonnummern\<\/option\>)

this will give you the value of this category, in this case: 157

- no just select the right category, using this number.

Where the fck is the edit-button...

I've done those Steps, and it works great until the selection of the category.

If get the value of the option, for example 157, it did'nt select the option with the value 157, it selects the 157th item in the list. i've ad the short template... or i'am to tired to check how it works... :/

It's because they changed the order for some reason (probably to prevent spammers).

What I do then is extract the DOM until then selected category and then count the number of times you get value=
Don't know how to count it directly so I tried it another way.

See the template I added, it works perfectly for me.
Though you probably will have to change this:
(?<=\<DIV class\=addform_titel\>).*(?=Computerschulen und Nachhilfe)
since your DOM will be different probably.

Hey archel,
in my case it didn't work with your template ... but don't know why...

Doesn't think it will be so difficult before :/
