I want to download pfaf.org and all is OK until reach database menu and click next pages. It works only for the first page, all others were same, without the proper content. I think it's a problem with the dopostback command....
please help.
Thanks a lot
please help.
Thanks a lot
Yes, maybe. But I need to study the HTML code of the page to understand. Is this site available for public access?

Yes, it is.
Please let me know how to reproduce this - I need as much details as possible. Thank you!

Just what I was saying. When acces the database menu it appears a list from a to z from which you can choose a name to select. Say we choose letter A, when click on it another page is opened with all names there. OK by now. But if we want to move on and open page 2, or 3, etc...Offline Explorer display some sort of a page but without any information on it, exactly the same for all pages 2, 3, etc.... no name's or anything else. Online, the pages must display next names from the first onward. Just give it a try..Thank you.
How I can reproduce this problem? You do not provide the site URL, so I can't even test.

In my first message I wrote: pfaf.org, that means www.pfaf.org.
I created a simple project with the URL:
http://www.pfaf.org/user/DatabaseSearhResult.aspx?LatinName=A%
Level=1 and loaded it - all 2 3 4 pages were correctly loaded with different names, etc. Can you verify this? Maybe the server becomes confused when it is massively downloaded with all letters at the same time.

No, it don't work. Indeed now, it load all pages but in fact is only page 1 which is again and again loaded, not page 2, 3, etc..with proper content. I mean page 2 for example is the same with page 1, an error. Even when try Level=2 no way.
Can you try with the latest version? I used it yesterday and it worked well on this page:
http://www.metaproducts.com/download/betas/opsetup.exe

OK. It works with the last OE version, just you sayed. Thank you and keep your good work onward.
Cheers.

OK. Very good!

Oh, no, I was just rushing myself...it don't work properly. Giving URL http://www.pfaf.org/user/DatabaseSearhResult.aspx?LatinName=A% Level 1 even with Level 2 seems OE couldn't load proper pages....some were missing (from pages numbers to effective plants names), some are same as others ?!, etc.
I was tried with http://www.pfaf.org/user/DatabaseSearhResult.aspx?LatinName= {:a..z}% and many other permutation, with and without evaluate script calculation, no way. W was tried with http://www.pfaf.org/user/DatabaseSearhResult.aspx?LatinName=A% and http://www.pfaf.org/user/DatabaseSearhResult.aspx?LatinName=B%.......onto http://www.pfaf.org/user/DatabaseSearhResult.aspx?LatinName=Z% together, no way here.
Please, can you make some attempts, maybe other commands...
Please, excuse my fault.
Cheers.

I think, this happens because of many connections to the server and it gets confused about the content to output.
Can you please try to add the following line to the Project's URLs field:
Channels=1
This would reduce the load on the server and I hope it will have it to generate the correct output. Please redownload the Project after this change.
Oleg.

Hi Oleg,
No, don't works, even with channel=1. It load all pages proper up to 11th and onward all are the same without any info on them. Not to mention that it show only 20 page when online it have 33.
I just don't know what to think here, believe me.
Thank you.

I am sorry, I have no further ideas. I think, the server highly depends on session values and cookies that change its state with each next request.
Oleg.
Oleg.
And what can be do or try than ?
One other idea is to change the order of downloading the pages. Please keep the Channels=1 line and add another line to the URLs field:
Additional=DepthFirst
Redownload the project.
Would this improve the quality?
Oleg.

Oleg.
Any improvement to manage download this nasty pfaf.org properly, Oleg ?
Sorry, not yet. If my previous ideas do not help.
Oleg.
Oleg.
Hm, so take that site like a cornerstone for your future versions. I think it's a real challenge and a must because increasingly sites come to behaviour like that. Please keep me informed. Thanks.
Yes, I keep thinking about such cases to find new ideas.
Oleg.
Oleg.
Hi Oleg,
It seems you have no support for Joomla! 1.5 . Corect ? Or I'm wrong..

Sorry, i'm talking about www.herbcyclopedia.com. Take a look. No proper site download at all.
Cheers.
Cheers.
I looked at the site. Nothing really different. Can you please tell me what is wrong when you download it?
Oleg.

Hi again,
Now I've encountered a new problem. Can't find where the program stores the files downloaded from WEB. When searching at Parsing>download directory found a location that don't exist. Strange because I can acces the site via internal browser !

There is an easy way to find it - select the Project, click the Properties button on toolbar and press the Ctrl key on keyboard. The lower-left part of the screen will show the path of the downloaded files storage.
Oleg.
Oleg.
No way. Pressing CTRL and nothing happens.
Please look in the Project Properties dialog. You will see the "Index downloaded files for faster search" checkbox there.
Press and hold the Ctrl key on your keyboard and you will see the Download Directory below that checkbox.

Weird and unbelievable. I tel you, same thing. It show me a link to a c: director which don't exist !! But I can browse via internalowser. Again, unbelievable ! Where it stores that files ?
P.S. Yes, it isn't hidden or anything else, just not present !

OK. Let's try another way - select the Project and click the Map tab. If it shows files, select some of them, right-click and choose Properties. It should show the actual file location.
Oleg.
Oleg.
Same error. I manage to resolve the mistery by searching the entire sistem for the name of the project. Incredible but the files where stored in a total different path, even on other harddisk.
This is a mystery to me as well. Can you please write me to support@metaproducts.com and provide me with the details? I want to solve this as a possible bug.
Thank you!
Oleg.
Thank you!

Hi Oleg !
Just wanted to try your newest OE after a long pause with that difficult pfaf.org to see if is there any chance to properly download it, but sadly no way even no. It downloaded properly first 1...11 pages of A% plant list but then fail to go further with page 12....to the end. I think it wouldn't be a problem to parsing java forward further page 11........
Cheers.

For a better understanding: I can't see why OE know to do javascript:__doPostBack('ctl00$ContentPlaceHolder1$gvresults','Page$11'), but fail to do javascript:__doPostBack('ctl00$ContentPlaceHolder1$gvresults','Page$12').
I think, you simply have to increase Level. 1 is not enough for that.
Oleg.
Oleg.
Nope, even with Level 2 or 3, no luck.
