KB, could I get some help with this site?

[1-d]

Hi KoalaBear, it's been a while.

I returned since I need your help (of course I always do ). I came across this yet another PHP-based image posting website and wonder how to download the pics by section. BTW you need to register to access the pics.

The root URL: http://www.thecandidexchange.com/forum/

Section example: http://www.thecandidexchange.com/forum/ ... os-f2.html

You had helped me with a couple of PHP sites before, so I thought about tackling this by myself but I am nowhere near the level of your expertise. It seems the site has a mixture of PHP & HTML codes so maybe I need a parser script? Maybe... I don't know.

I appreciate your help as always.

first, ensure you download and install the latest version of [url="http://www.vowsoft.com/download.htm"]PicaLoader for download pics from website[/url].

start URL:
http://www.thecandidexchange.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=2
Picture filter profile:High resolution photo
check Site request a password
check Manual login URL
enter manual login URL:http://www.thecandidexchange.com/forum/ucp.php?mode=login
Page URL Include Filters:t=\d+$;start=\d+$;\.jpg;/download/
Picture URL Exclude Filters:small;\.gif
That's all.

or you can just download attached file and select main menu->Task->Import Task to import it.

Looks like the site's structure has been changed and the your imported task is no longer working, KB.

Could you take a look and come up with another brilliant solution? I'll be forever in your debt.

... been busy with all these requests lately, KB?

No problem, as one of the biggest fan of yours I forgive you. Just make sure you didn't forget about my cry for help...

Ah yes, the Great KoalaBear scored once again!

It didn't work initially, but as soon as I downloaded & installed the latest version of PicaLoader everything started clicking. Thanks again KB, I honestly think this board would have been pretty much meaningless without your presence.

Just curious... Are you the programmer/developer of Picaloader, or in some way related to this great piece of sofware? I can't help but keep thinking about how you became so good with this kind of stuff.

Whatever the case may be, you helped so many people on this board and you deserve all the credits you can get. Now don't you ever think about leaving... You are employed here for life (and for free ), and we'll find you wherever you hide!

See ya around.
