Autoit Forum Client approach

[JRSmile 13]

UPDATE!

Hi there, because of the great new style of the forum and jons marvelous work with the xhtml compatibility ,

i was able to parse the forum in xml (with some kind of problems)

attached you find my approach, the forum listing works great,

the attachment listing is perfect.

but the popup extraction is still a bit untested.

if anyone wan'ts to help me with the gui (i very bad at this) don't be frightened to join

ps: due to the fact that some old threads have theese F!#@n scrameled code in it, theese threads are not parsable by xml....

updated the file to be standalone only xmldomwrapper udf is needed.

the newest version of my src is available here:

http://files.getdropbox.com/u/957526/aufoc/aufoc.au3

Best regards,

JRSmile.

Just tried to run your program and it's giving the following error.

aufoc.au3(2,10) : ERROR: can't open include file <_xmldomwrapper.au3>
#include <_xmldomwrapper.au3>
~~~~~~~~~^

Could you add the xmldomwrapper.au3 file or a reference where it can be found.

Thanks

You have been around here long enough to know how to search the forums.

Be nice if it was all zipped up

When I run the script the GUI pops up and then the script crashes with this error message:

C:\TEMP\Forum\aufoc.au3 (41) : ==> Subscript used with non-Array variable.:
   for $i = 1 to $topics[0][0]
   for $i = 1 to $topics^ ERROR

Anything I can do about it?

Thanks

Yes I have which is why I've already searched, downloaded and tried it!

BUT it would be a "good idea" for JRSmile to add a reference to it in the original post and I thought I'd make him aware of the small oversight.

indeet, it was 3 am here when posting it, ;-)

i will add a lot of error handling to it to prevent theese array errors for example,

the xmldomwrapper is located here: http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=19848

btw, if you don't want to create a blank.bmp with 1x1 px white, just comment it out and use splashtext instead

will work on this anyway today again.

I appologize John, I misread the post and thought you were looking for the file.

G'day JRSmile

Great start. Wish I could help you with the GUI but I am scared of GUIs (I always get tangled up) and would rather write 10000 lines of code then creat one gui.

If you're open to sujestions I'd like to make some requests. I've been thinking about something like this for some time but don't have the knowledge to actaully do it.

FLAG your "interest" in Threads

Ignore - this would be for those threads that you just arn't interested in at all

Mine - Threads that you've created and are still interested in.

Active - Threads you are activaly interested

UDF - Threads containing a UDF that you use (keep accross developments, updates)

THE REST - Everything else :-)

Flag recent activity

- I use "View new content" a lot to keep track of what is happening on the forum. But in busy times it gets real hard to work out if I've read a particular thread or not. It'd be great if the program kept track of what thread had been read and when. Then flagged if they had been changed since the last look. It'd be nice to sort on reverse thread age as well.

Anyway there are 2 of the ideas I've wanted to create myself.

BTW Well done on the scrip so far it has a lot of potential.
