Export and uploading

With this tool, you can export and automatically upload the created by Zebroid file into CMS without entering the admin panel of CMS and upload image files via FTP.

Main settings

Name - the name of the profile
CMS – CMS in which you want to export
login - username to login the admin panel
Password - password for admin
Additional fields - additional fields required for the export script (eg blog address)

Additional settings

FTP - FTP account
Split files into pieces - the maximum size of files that can be sent at once to the site
UTF-8 - if the CMS supports multiple encoding options for the imported files, this option is active and allows you to set the UTF-8

Creating of export and uploading scripts

Creating of export and uploading scripts is not very complicated process, but requires the presence of some skills in writing Zebroid autoposting scripts.

The scripts are located in separate folders, which are located in Zebroid\resources\export-upload profiles\. The name of the script takes the folder name. Scripts consist of the following files:

icon.png - 16x16 CMS icon
settings.ini - a file with the basic script configuration (the file format is described below)
script.pas - a file with a script that sends files to the sites admin panel (the file format is described below)
macroses.txt - a list of macros for script.pas. In fact it is a list of additional fields (the file format is described below)

Format of the file settings.ini (for example, configured for WordPress)

[FTP] 
send_images_to = / 
send_file_to = 
[CMS] 
cms_id = 2

send_images_to - The folder in which to send the content of folder with pictures

send_file_to - Where to send the generated file (if the program generates a set of files and folders - then they all go to the specified directory)

cms_id - CMS ID based on which the program knows in which format to generate the project files

The list of CMS identifiers:

Zebrum Lite
WordPress
DLE
MaxSite
Joomla
NetCat
Rumba
Blogger
MODx
Drupal
Kandidat CMS
Umi shop
LiveStreet
Instant CMS
phpBB 3

Format of the file script.pas

program Uploader;
procedure Login();
begin
// Login script
end;
procedure SendFile(path:string);
begin
// Script for uploading the file, which is on the path to sites admin panel
end;

Scripts are written using all the features of zebroid autoposting scripts.

Both of the above procedures are required to be present in the script file. The standard macros: $LOGIN - replaced by username, $PASS - replaced with the password specified by the user. There is also an opportunity to expand the number of macros describing them in macroses.txt. All macros should not be located within single quotes.

Format of the file macroses.txt:

Macros_NAME = DESCRIPTION|DEFAULT_VALUE

The macro name can be anything. This is essentially what the program looks before running the script to replace the value. Description is what the user see in the list add. fields, which he is required to fill while creating account. Default value - a value that is set before the user enters his own.

Example:

URL=Blog address|httр://
