Thread: Writing custom Xrumer wordpress mod - No Post Forms Found (RESOLVED)

Just getting my feet wet in writing mods for xrumer but can't seem to get past the error message "No post forms found". I wanted to start off with nonlogin forms first then work my way to login based blogs, guestbooks, etc.

I started with a default xrumer install and default xas file. I then added the following to all the files:

Code:

xurl.txt

AddLinkRule([0,'wp-comments-post.php'
		],URL_TONEWPOST);

Code:

xas.txt
#author
NICKNAME
#email
EMAIL
#url
HOMEPAGE
#comment
MESSAGE

and nothing to xmessages.txt. Wordpress doesn't send out a message on successful posts.

Heres the debug info from some random blog I came across:

Code:

Form used in experiment:

It seems to be finding the form link

Code:

http://www.question-defense.com/wp-comments-post.php

and then properly passing the refer:

Code:

Referer: http://www.question-defense.com/2010/02/16/setup-wordpress-comment-notifications-to-your-iphone-using-wordpress-wptouch-plugin-and-prowl

as shown in Get content id8.txt so it should be passing the initial parameters.

I tried something similar on an open guestbook but receive the exact same results. Anyone have an old mod I could reference from or if possible do you see the error above?

I've written bots with php/curl for open and closed wordpress so at the very least I understand the logic behind it so hopefully it's something minor I forgot. I tried to be as detailed as possible but if I've missed anything please let me know and I'll provide it.

Thx

Found it.

Someone had a similar problem with "no post forms found" message over at botmaster and that solution worked for me.

Added this:

<textarea name="comment" id="comment"

to the ends of FORCE_TEXTAREA and FORCE_SUBJECT in xmessages.txt. Post appears.
