I need help getting started. Anyone wanna take on this challenge?


Recommended Posts

Hello. So, I'm a noob to all of this scripty business. 

I've read some blogs, watched some videos, and have tried to get through the help documents to understand what I need to do to reach my goal. 

Here's the gist of what I'm trying to do:

FIRST OF ALL, I need to use FireFox.

I need to go to a website, login, click on a drop down menu, change my availability status, WAIT for something to happen (which occurs at random). When that random thing happens, I need to copy the random given text and paste it into a search field on another website, select search (or press enter). 

At this point, I'm given two possible scenarios. If the first happens, a button appears on the screen asking me to search again. If that happens, that button MUST be pressed and once it is, scenario 2 always happens soon after. If that button DOES NOT appear, then scenario 2 will present me with text that needs to be copied and pasted into the ORIGINAL website, and finally a "send" button must be pressed. 

Shew. I hope that's understandable lol. I found that with google chrome, right clicking on an item and selecting "inspect element" will give me some information that needs to be put into the script. Is that a necessary tool that needs to be used? 

I obviously need some help. Please don't assume that I know anything and use baby language.

So far, I've managed to open the IE, set the username and password, and login. Not sure how to make a selection in the drop down menu. 

Exactly. You can find the FireFox UDF (User Defined Functions)

How would I go about installing these codes and using them?

I was trying to do an auto-login, and managed to do it in this forum, but for gmail it doesn't seem to work.

#include <FF.au3>
#include <FF_AutoLogin.au3>

_FFConnect ()
_FFWindowOpen("https://accounts.google.com/ServiceLoginAuth")
_FF_AutoLogin('moderncareca', 'pass')

You need to download the UDF and make sure to get the MozRepl addin from Mozilla.

Which version of Firefox do you use? You need to make sure to use the latest version of the MozRepl addin.

Ok cool. I've downloaded the links. I'm not sure how to use them to be honest  :ermm: I'm going to post exactly what I have. My password and username is on here. It's not generic or anything so nobody will get far with it. 

This will open up with IE. I've downloaded the firefox languages that you've provided me but I just keep getting an error. Perhaps you could help me out. I don't care if you use the user and pass and login with firefox. Right now I'm trying to change the "away" status in the top left corner to "available". If you change it to available, as quickly as possible change it back to away, so that the next part won't happen. We'll get there maybe. 

 
 
#include <IE.au3>
 
 
 
 
Call("SignIn")
 
 
 
 
Func SignIn()
Global $oIE = _IECreate("https://universe.chacha.com")
 
Local $username = _IEGetObjByName($oIE, "guideHandle")
Local $password = _IEGetObjByName($oIE, "password")
Local $button = _IEGetObjByName($oIE, "loginBtn")
 
_IEFormElementSetValue($username, "timothy855")
_IEFormElementSetValue($password, "babyboy01")
_IEAction($button, "click")
EndFunc   ;==>SignIn

IE and FF are completely different beasts. Forget what you coded for IE and start from scratch for FF.

Use the examples careca provided.

Sadly, the site you provided has 3 inputs, so when i use the most common code, the site then asks for the zip code, and won't login, the alternative, i would try is to send username, send tab, send pass, send tab, send zipcode, send enter. lool

Welcome to the forum!
I am no expert, but look at the "Send" function in the help file. Its good to see that you are trying.

Did another try with FF udf, but im lost in the functions, this is what i tried that i thought could work..

#include <FF.au3>
#include <FF_AutoLogin.au3>

_FFConnect ()
_FFWindowOpen("https://universe.chacha.com")
_FFSetValue('guideHandle', 'UserXXX', 'name')
_FFSetValue('login_guideHandle', 'PassXXX', 'id')
_FFSetValue('login_zipCode', '12345', 'id')
_FFClick('login_loginBtn', 'id')

It seems to write to the "Value" field, but what i need is to write to text field...bit confused on this.

Hahahaa, i messed up the sintax, this works:

#include <FF.au3>
#include <FF_AutoLogin.au3>

_FFConnect ()
_FFWindowOpen("https://universe.chacha.com")

_FFSetValue('UserXXX', 'guideHandle', 'name');Choose one
_FFSetValue('UserXXX', 'login_guideHandle', 'id')

_FFSetValue('PassXXX', 'password', 'name');Choose one
_FFSetValue('PassXXX', 'login_password', 'id')

_FFSetValue('12345', 'zipCode', 'name');Choose one
_FFSetValue('12345', 'login_zipCode', 'id')

_FFClick('login_loginBtn', 'id');Click login button

Look at the syntax from the FF udf:

; #FUNCTION# ===================================================================
; Name ..........: _FFSetValue
; Description ...: Sets a value of an element
; Beschreibung ..: Setzt den Wert (value) eines Elements
; AutoIt Version : V3.3.0.0
; Syntax ........: _FFSetValue($sValue, $sElement[, $sMode = "elements"[, $iIndex = 0]])
; Parameter(s): .: $sElement    -
;                  $sMode       - Optional: (Default = "elements") :
;                               | elements: element or object from _FFXpath or _FFObj*
;                               | id
;                               | name
;                               | class
;                               | tag
;                  $iIndex      - Optional: (Default = 0) : index if $sMode = class, name, tag
; Return Value ..: Success      - 1
;                  Failure      - 0
;                  @ERROR       -
; Author(s) .....: Thorsten Willert
; Date ..........: Wed Sep 23 22:55:36 CEST 2009
; Link ..........:
; Related .......: _FFSetValue, _FFXPath
; Example .......: Yes
; ==============================================================================

Don't ask why, but i managed to think the value would be in between the element, and the mode! :sweating:

EDIT: With this new info, i managed to login to gmail, the issue is that sometimes the browser won't open, with _FFWindowOpen, so i have to use ShellExecute and the rest, but besides that, works well, in google, for me better than the FF_AutoLogin, so surprise, since the code is specific.

If _FFConnect() Then
_FFWindowOpen("https://accounts.google.com/ServiceLoginAuth")
;ShellExecute('firefox https://accounts.google.com/ServiceLoginAuth')
;WinWaitActive('Contas do Google - Mozilla Firefox', '')
;Sleep(500)
;_FFConnect ()
_FFSetValue('@gmail.com', 'Email', 'name');Choose one
;_FFSetValue('UserXXX', 'login_guideHandle', 'id');Alternative Way to put username
_FFSetValue('PASS', 'Passwd', 'name');Choose one
;_FFSetValue('PassXXX', 'login_password', 'id');Alternative Way to put pass
_FFClick('signIn', 'id');Click login button
EndIf

Yay! im happy with this. :D
