Wooohooo, we received a positive response from Ed!

Oh, yes, sorry, I could test on the official forum, but, the forum
itself is laid out very differently so I don't think that it would
work very well. The big issue that I see at the moment is that if I
follow my multi-step method to create a "kill the spam" scripts, it
takes a very long time to run. I changed the timeout to 10 minutes.
This is so slow that it just feels silly to even bother trying to
remove the spam.
For certain testing would go much faster on the official forum since
it works well and is performs quickly

Sorry the way I understood you couldnt work confortable at oooforum
because of its unresponsiveness. So I suggest using the official
forums to test the iMacros until they are up there to perform all the
tasks.
But I most have missed something.
Regards.

The next version of the forum software used by oooforum supports
deleting all posts by the user. Also, there is an add-on for the
version
2 (I think) that also supports this.
The official forum runs great, no need to test there. It is
sufficiently
moderated that there are no particular issues.

For the record, you could do this also on our forums at
https://forum.openoffice.org/en/
This will give you a fast server to work on until oooforum is back in
shape. Trying to delete your own post could do the trick enough to
test it.

I agree, sorry to see the sad state of the forum. Maybe all this
should be let known to the owner so he can take measurses. I dont
think anyone want to see oooforum go.

Yeah, even when I build an iMacro to remove a single post based on a
hard coded URL, oooforum is so slow, that it fails to respond in 60
seconds after saying "yes, remove that like I asked" and then the
macro
itself stops running. I set the timeout to 10 minutes, will see
if that
is sufficient. That said, when the forum is so slow, hardly seems
worth
the effort.

Side note: It occurred to me that some of my "failures" may be
attributed to the site simply not responding since it stopped
responding last night.

Well, I find the entire thing rather confusing. For example, I can
extract the table of text as follows:
TAB T=1
URL GOTO=http://www.oooforum.org/forum/search.phtml
TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:TEXT FORM=ACTION:search.phtml?mode=results
ATTR=NAME:search_author CONTENT=RobinColvin
TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:SUBMIT FORM=ACTION:search.phtml?mode=results
ATTR=*
'Extract the table text.
TAG POS=7 TYPE=TABLE ATTR=TXT:* EXTRACT=TXT
SAVEAS TYPE=EXTRACT FOLDER=*
FILE=mytable_{{!NOW:yymmdd_hhnnss}}.csv
If I want to extract all of the URLs in the table, well, I can't
figure out how to do that. I am able to enumerate the first two
links
as follows:
TAB T=1
URL GOTO=http://www.oooforum.org/forum/search.phtml
TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:TEXT FORM=ACTION:search.phtml?mode=results
ATTR=NAME:search_author CONTENT=RobinColvin
TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:SUBMIT FORM=ACTION:search.phtml?mode=results
ATTR=*
TAG POS=1 TYPE=A ATTR=HREF:*&&CLASS:topictitle EXTRACT=HREF
TAG POS=2 TYPE=A ATTR=HREF:*&&CLASS:topictitle EXTRACT=HREF
SAVEAS TYPE=EXTRACT FOLDER=*
FILE=mytable_{{!NOW:yymmdd_hhnnss}}.csv
I had trouble simply extracting all of them, so, I tried to use
java
script to call iMacro, but that never returned from the first
iimPlay
var spammer="RobinColvin"
window.alert("Read for '" + spammer + "'");
var search_macro;
search_macro ="CODE:";
search_macro +="URL
GOTO=http://www.oooforum.org/forum/search.phtml"+"\n";;
search_macro +="TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:TEXT
FORM=ACTION:search.phtml?mode=results ATTR=NAME:search_author
CONTENT="+spammer+"\n";
search_macro +="TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:SUBMIT
FORM=ACTION:search.phtml?mode=results ATTR=*"+"\n";
var links = [];
var iLink = 1;
var iMaxLink = 100
var link = "";
var extract_link_macro;
window.alert(search_macro);
// Perform the search!
iimPlay(search_macro)
window.alert("Finished with search!");
do {
extract_link_macro ="CODE:";
extract_link_macro +="TAG POS="+iLink+"1 TYPE=A
ATTR=HREF:*&&CLASS:topictitle EXTRACT=HREF"+"\n";
iimPlay(extract_link_macro);
link=iimGetLastExtract();
if(link!="#EANF#") {
links.push(link);
iLink = iLink + 1;
}
} while (link != "#EANF#" && iLink <= iMaxLink)
window.alert("found " + iLink + " links");
If I assume that I have already searched, then I can extract
all of
the links by using "loop execute" and then using a macro
similar to:
TAG POS={{!LOOP}} TYPE=A ATTR=HREF:*&&CLASS:topictitle
EXTRACT=HREF
SAVEAS TYPE=EXTRACT FOLDER=*
FILE=mytable_{{!NOW:yymmdd_hhnnss}}.csv
If I loop 50 times, it exports everything from that one page into
three files. It seems that it does not easily support doing the
entire thing in one shot; at least while using a loop!
At least by listing the extract command 50 times I end up with
only
one file.
this is not a simple thing and it still does not get me to my end
game.

There is very little difference between what an admin and a user
sees in
this context.
To find the posts, I use the regular search. The returned
list is
the
same for an admin as well as a regular user. While displaying a
thread,
there is an admin link that allows me to remove the thread and
there is
a link to remove each post in the thread. There is also a
link on
the
bottom of each thread to navigate to a special admin page that
provides
some extra functions such as delete a user (but deleting the
user
does
not remove their posts).
I did an excercise and try deleting my own posts from oooforum. I
see
what you mean (and what I was missing). There is no checkbox
to mark
all the posts like it would be on -- let say -- the PM page
where a
checkbox is able to mass delete all links.
I understand now your point on looping through non secuential
links.
I
went on the iMacros forum and found some tips responding to a
positioning loop.
http://forum.imacros.net/viewtopic.php?f=8&p=37399
Hope this helps.

I

(the one able to delete the forum) is a different view.
