WARNING: THIS PROGRAM CURRENTLY DOES NOT WORK WITH THE LATEST FORUM UPGRADE. PLEASE WAIT FOR VERSION 3.5 FOR RESTORED FUNCTIONALITY.

Input your forum username into this script, and it will quickly generate a full website with descriptions, images, downloads, and links, automatically.

You can now follow development on GitHub.

Updates:

The AHK forums have had a huge upgrade, and as a result this script requires equally large changes. Version 3.4 includes the modifications needed to get back up and running with your AutoHotkey.net website.

Note for German users: In anticipation of an upgrade of the German forums, this version does not support the older layout that is in place currently. Please use version 3.3 until the German forums are upgraded.

Tweaks - blank password is now rejected, update for new AutoHotkey.net FTP username scheme, and fix for links in descriptions having their quotes HTML escaped.

Bugfixes - highlight being the topic cache, which was completely broken and therefore made page generation a lot slower.

Tweaks to behavior fix remaining bugs in uploading, properly handle special characters in descriptions, and more.

AutoHotkey.net Website Generator 3.0 is a complete rewrite. Now with a GUI, command line parameters, a templating engine, and more. The default templates, which were the only templates before, now have a few subtle changes that improve usability, such as a last changed date, the "Download" button showing only if there actually is a download link, and link-ified headers. Algorithms detecting the post description have also been modified and tweaked to make the process as automatic as possible. Uploading support is now fully functional.

AutoHotkey.net Website Generator 2.0 brings a refresh to the page design, allowing direct linking to a script listing on the website, as well as a more minimal layout that hides unneeded buttons. The generated markup is also structurally cleaner. The new, simpler styling system means that making new color schemes is now much easier, too.

Example:

AutoHotkey.net - Scripts

Screenshot:



Usage:

The script shows a GUI upon starting. If the Upload Website option is selected, the website will be automatically uploaded to AutoHotkey.net with the provided username and password. Otherwise, manually upload each file to your hosting provider.

See the README for more details such as the meaning of each option, command line parameters and template writing.

Download:

Version 3.4
Uncompiled script requires AutoHotkey v1.1+. Both compiled and uncompiled versions require Microsoft Windows XP or better.

Older versions are still available at the GitHub downloads page, although due to changes to the AutoHotkey.net website you will no longer be able to upload your websites using the script.

Edit: It's now AHK_L only, due to HTTPQuery issues. Sorry, AHK Basic users!
Edit: Caching support. See relevant post for details.
Edit: Version 2.0 is out! Recommended over original script for usability reasons.
Edit: Version 3.0 is out! Complete rewrite, many new features and much more flexible.
Edit: Bugfix release 3.1.
Edit: Bugfix release 3.2.
Edit: Bugfix release 3.3
Edit: Update release 3.4

This is nice! 8)
A good script for those who doesn't understand how to make a decent ahk.net page, like myself :lol:

Agreed! Very nice job man! (Or woman...just trying to be politically correct lol)!
Nonetheless looks good man! Will be handy for html/css/web design noobs!

Thanks a lot for this!!

I was procrastinating making an AHK.net site, though i really wanted to. I even put up the basics, but finding and linking my posts put me off..

Wonderful!

Just a couple of points:
- This script does not work with AHK_L Unicode Win 32-bit Windows 7 (httpQuery fails). I used AHK Basic to run this script.
- The NoImage.jpg seems too large.
- The link span (a.main) is hidden by default, hence I cannot add any links in the description that pops up on hover. Could you just change the stylesheet so that only span is hidden. (i hope i am clear)..
- Firefox ignores background-size:120%;
- Why not add a "Done creating site" message box and then quit. I was waiting for it to finish.

Anyway, i modified it a bit to suit my needs.. and here is the brand new site

- This script does not work with AHK_L Unicode Win 32-bit Windows 7 (httpQuery fails). I used AHK Basic to run this script.

Ah yes, httpQuery. There doesn't seem to be a version that works on both AHK Basic and AHK_L, so I simply chose what I was familiar with, but HotkeyIt has taken the time to create an AHK_L version (it does require Struct() though). Simply replace the included httpQuery function with the desired version, and everything else should work.

- The NoImage.jpg seems too large.

Whoops, I forgot to actually upload the newest version of the site. :oops: The one that was previously up was really pretty out of date.

NoImage.jpg was also one of these files I had forgotten, it's been replaced with a custom made image, which fits better with the style, I think.

- The link span (a.main) is hidden by default, hence I cannot add any links in the description that pops up on hover. Could you just change the stylesheet so that only span is hidden. (i hope i am clear)..

Errr, I'm not quite sure I understand...

- Firefox ignores background-size:120%;

Added the -moz-background-size property. Sorry IE users, not even IE9 beta supports this...

- Why not add a "Done creating site" message box and then quit. I was waiting for it to finish.

Good idea! Added. Also made the FileSelectFile exit the script if Cancel is pressed.

Check up on the new version of the site! I've updated it to actually list all my scripts, including this one.

Other changes: the post title has been changed (so I don't have to correct layout issues when generating my site if the title is too long).

[sumon]

I request for this to be bumped. I love it (and recommend it!), but it doesn't find my scripts due to httpQuery not working. I removed the scripts' own HttpQuery function since I have an AHK_L (x86) version in my std lib, but still it doesn't work. It seems to just skip the parsing of the forum, and instead generates a new site.

By the way, what do I need to include when I upload my scripts for this parser to function correctly? Image, link to AHK.net *ahk file, anything else?

[Uberi]

I've updated the script to use my universal version of HTTPQuery. It should work on all versions of AHK now, although I haven't had the chance to test yet.

The script detects links to images and AHK.net links in your posts, as well as the descriptions (first paragraph of the post). The type of script (program or library) is detected from the presence of certain keywords. Therefore, to improve the quality of the generated site, try to include a single image (if there are multiple, the last one will be used), make the first paragraphs descriptive, and if the script is a library, try to mention the word "library" somewhere in the post or the subject, so it gets categorized properly.

Edit: It's working again!

[maul.esel]

Do you have any working version, either for Basic or _L ?
I really need this wonderful work.

What changes would I have to make to use the german forum / both forums instead of the english one?

Regards
maul.esel

[Uberi]

Finally got around to fixing! Problem was with HTTPQuery, as I thought.

See my sig for proof! Also cleaned up the code a little bit.



Edit: Forgot to mention, it's now AHK_L only - I couldn't get HTTPQuery to work, so I had to use WinHttpRequest instead. Side effect is that the code is shorter . If enough people want it, I will try to fix up HTTPQuery to do work again.

Edit: Fixed typo. One more tip: try not to start posts off with a quote, it really messes the generated page up. HTML sanitizer may be added in the future, but avoid BBCode in the first paragraph for now.

[maul.esel]

Thank you! This will help me a lot (as soon as I have any scripts to appear on the site :mrgreen:)

I changed it a little bit: [*:1ll8bka4]

FileSelectFolder, Folder, [color=red]*[/color]%A_ScriptDir%, 6, Select a folder to save the webpage to.

(To allow other directories than A_ScriptDir)

[*:1ll8bka4]

Sort Pages

as 3rd line in GeneratePage()

[*:1ll8bka4]I also changed SearchForPages() to accept an additional parameter:

Pages := SearchForPages(ForumUsername, "", "www")
Pages .= "`n" SearchForPages(ForumUsername, "", "de")

to search the german AND the english forum.

[*:1ll8bka4]I made the page "independant" of Style.css by altering GeneratePage():

[color=red]style := GetStyle(ColorScheme) ; ColorScheme global var
 StringReplace, style, style, margin-left: 31ex;[/color]
 If PageValidation
  ValidPage = `r`n<br>`r`n`r`n<p>`r`n%A_Tab%<a href="http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http`%3A`%2F`%2Fwww.autohotkey.net`%2F~%AutoHotkeyNetUsername%`%2F;accept=application`%2Fxml`%2Capplication`%2Fxhtml`%2Bxml`%2Ctext`%2Fhtml`%3Bq`%3D0.9`%2Ctext`%2Fplain`%3Bq`%3D0.8`%2Cimage`%2Fpng`%2C`%2A`%2F`%2A`%3Bq`%3D0.5;accept-language=en-US`%2Cen`%3Bq`%3D0.8;accept-charset=ISO-8859-1`%2Cutf-8`%3Bq`%3D0.7`%2C`%2A`%3Bq`%3D0.3"><img style="border:0;width:88px;height:31px" src="http://www.w3.org/Icons/valid-html401-blue" alt="Valid HTML 4.01 Strict"></a>`r`n%A_Tab%<a href="http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?uri=http://www.autohotkey.net/~%AutoHotkeyNetUsername%/&profile=css3"><img style="border:0;width:88px;height:31px" src="http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/images/vcss-blue" alt="Valid CSS!"></a>`r`n</p>

 Return, WebPage

The idea is copied from mkdocs by majkinetor that ships with his NDocs custom installer
A question: GeneratePage() uses parameter AutoHotkeyNetPassword which is neither defined nor used anywhere in the code. Why?

The websites look great!

I'm trying to make one, but it gets hung up on "Searching pages from the AutoHotkey forum (50 topics processed)"

In recent lines it shows it's always sleeping for 4 seconds. That's this part of the code.

IfInString, Navigation, >Next<
 {
  RegExMatch(Navigation,"S)start=(\d+)[^""]*"">Next",Next)
  Sleep, 4000
 }

Tested on the latest AutoHotkey_L.

Edit: Also, the first MsgBox never shows.

[Uberi]

Thanks for all the suggestions and comments!

maul.esel: your suggestions have been added to the script. Thanks!

Frankie: sorry, that was a bug :oops:. It's been fixed now: I forgot that I commented out the '"&start=" . Temp1' part for debugging

There have been extensive updates:

[*:2o2wrpvc]Folder selection allows folders other than A_ScriptDir
[*:2o2wrpvc]Added option to support sorting of topics alphabetically
[*:2o2wrpvc]Full support for the German AutoHotkey forum, and options to enable and disable searching of both forums individually
[*:2o2wrpvc]Added option to include the CSS stylesheet right into the page (disabled by default because this technique does not let the browser cache the CSS properly)
[*:2o2wrpvc]Experimental AutoHotkey.net uploading support. Enable the option "UploadWebsite" to have your website automatically uploaded to AutoHotkey.net, through FTP.

[Frankie]

The link appears to be broken.

<!-- m -->http://www.autohotke... ... erator.ahk<!-- m -->

[Uberi]

Sorry; Fixed.

[Frankie]

Wow! Thats great! I'll play with it, and maybe upload a custom background but it simplifies the site process a lot and looks really nice.

Here's the link: <!-- m -->http://www.autohotkey.net/~frankie/<!-- m --> (Also linked in signature)

Another satisfied customer

PS: I used the auto-upload option and it works with no problems. I just ran the script and went to my page without even logging in to my account.

Just curious, how do you know what's libraries and what's a script?
