Adding custom social websites to Social Submitter (Scuttle engine example)
Let's review how to add custom social website to Social Submitter "User Database" (Scuttle engine example)
1. Identify the engine of your target site. One of the easiest ways to do that is find "Powered by Scuttle" in the footer.
You can also try searching “Powered by Scuttle” (including quotes) in Google.
2. Register at the site. This step should be easy.
3. Start Social Submitter, go to Tools/Options and check “Load User Database” in Crawl&Submit tab. Now press OK and restart Social Submitter.
4. When Social Submitter restarts, you will have User Database tab enabled.
5. Unlike "Main" or "Adult" Database, User Database has an additional set of options.
6. Click Add Site and select Scuttle in the Engine field. Most parameters will be set up automatically. What you need to do is input site address.
(www.digza.info in our example)
Let’s take a closer look at each section of “Add site” window.
Site URL – Input URL of the site you want to add to the database – this is simple
Login section. This section controls logging in procedure and tests whether the login was successful.
a)Script: input the URL you see in your browser when you are at the login page of your site. You need only the latter part which is written after first slash
(in our example login page is http://www.digza.info/login.php/, so we take login.php)
b)Button: here you need to input text from the button you press in order to login to the site.
(In our example you have “log in” written on it, so you need to write the same in the text box)
a)Check Word: this text box verifies if you have logged in correctly. You can input any text that appears at the page after you log in.
(In our case we got redirected to a page with “add a bookmark” and “log out” buttons after we have logged in to the site, so we will use “log out” text.)
Submit section is responsible for submitting your post and publishing it.
a)Script: here you need to input the name of the script which is responsible for bookmark submission, you can see it in the URL of bookmark submission page
(in our example the address of bookmark submission page is http://www.digza.info/bookmarks.php/qwert?action=add, so we need bookmarks.php)
a)Button: input text from the button you press upon submitting your post.
(In our case the text is “Add a bookmark”, so we put this down)
a)Check Word: this text box verifies whether your post has been published correctly. By default you have ${url} macros here, it parses the page you see after submission searching for the URL that you had in your post. You can also use ${title} that will search for the title and ${extended} searching for submission text (be considered that some sites cut the text when they show your submission to you, in this case this macros will return submission error).
(In our example after you submit your post, you get redirected to a page where you can see its entire text (including the URL you have in it), so you can just keep ${url} in this field)
7. The result looks like this:
Press “Add Site” and you will have it in your database. Now you can work with it as usually.
