 Posted: Thu Oct 02, 2008 8:57 am Post subject: Anyone interested in doing some paid AHK work? |
 |
|
I was interested in using AHK to monitor the checkout on an e-commerce website. However I got stuck in the last stages, and ran out of time. I am happy to pay someone to do the job... if it's possible that is.
I wrote the script which opened the browser, adding something to the shopping cart, and checked out. On the last page of the checkout it copied some text from the page (the presence of the text confirms that the checkout was successful), and then pasted that text into a specially prepared web page form and submitted it. The special web page checked that the correct text is received every ten minutes. If not then it sends an SMS notification to the webmaster.
I was so chuffed with that!
I created a new Windows user on a spare office computer, set up the script, got it running, checked several cycles to be sure, and then logged out of that user. I thought that even though the user was logged out then the script would continue running. Wrong.
Asking on the forum I was recommended to try running the script as a service. I looked into that but I just dont have the time.
If there is anyone who thinks that they can take this idea to completion then please let me know.
We're not a rich company, but are willing to pay for someones time in this matter. Prefer someone UK based, but anywhere in the world is ok to. I can send money by Western Union, Paypal, or Moneybookers (or cheque if you're in the UK). I request some sort of receipt for our accounts. It can be a simple email confirming receipt of the money "for professional services".
Thank you. |

Use iMacros for web browser scripting. Its not freeware so youll need to pay something for it or leave as pirate the rest of your life 
If you don't know how to do it let me know and maybe we can make a deal. |

| Why use iMacros? Ahk writes incredible browser scripts... Tank even has a tutorial on it, where he has written some code to get info from a website using an invisible browser. |

PM me your source code. I'm currently programming something for my own company that involves being ran as service as well. I used heresy's service function for that. I'm stuck on one part where there's a bug, but when i got that solved I'll look into your code as well.
Can't guarantee anything though.
