Something that are very important, I hope for a update for these things as it really took me a lot of time.
>> I need to put <br/><br/> for the article on autofill magic if not all the paragraphs will stick together. When using autofill magic to fill in the article I need to remove all the <br/><br/> manually sometimes on some sites.
This one is a bit tricky. The reason is that if you do not include any HTML markup like adding breaks (
<br/><br/>) after each paragraph, then you will get even more articles that are just one long paragraph. But you are right, for some sites that are not accepting HTML markup you will need to do a bit of cleaning (When this is the case it is mentioned in the site note). But if you did not include the breaks you would need to add line breaks after each paragraph manually for even more sites.
We have a fix on the way that will remove HTML markup for sites that do not accept it.
1. Some websites like wikidot.com, pen.io after I registered for an account, the account does not change to green color, it still show that I don't have an account on that website.
I can understand why you are confused. Have you seen the video in the manual that explains how account management works? If not the please see here:
http://autofillmagic.com/tutorials/manual/#account-management (That will explain a lot)
Autofill Magic only auto-verifies accounts when an email verification link is clicked. This is a clear indication that the account was successfully created. For sites with no email verification or manual verification Autofill Magic has no way of knowing that an account was created. But you do... That is why you can just click the account status icon when you have created an account for these sites. It is just one additional click.
Look for the email verification method to know if an action is required from you.
That said. We do have a feature planned that will toggle the account status when a welcome email is received. That will trigger the correct account status for accounts with manual verification. Still there will always be sites where there is no indication or any email sent and then it is very hard for any tool to guess what the account status is. Just filling the sign up form is a weak indicator, since there is no way of knowing if the form was submitted successfully. And some sites don't even have a sign up form...
I hope you can see that it is not a simple task to detect and set the right account status. That is why Autofill Magic leave it to you for sites with no email verification. You are the only one who know for sure and again: It is just one mouse click to insure 100% correct setting of the account status.
2. On Wikidot, the hyperlink is not <a href=" "></a> it is like [
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fqg0FaEL-xg more courses], I need to manual edit all the hyperlinks.
Some sites use a different syntax than HTML. Always take a look at the site note if something is out of the ordinary. In this case you actually have all the infomation you need to solve the problem in the site note. You just need to wrap your article text in special wiki-html tags and all link will work:
You even have a screenshots to guide you (When you press
Help in the note).
3. On webnode.com I unable to autofill the content after pressing on the shortcut key or autofill magic button.
Again. You have all the info you need in the note. If you see something like
To post in the note, then there is someting that you have to be aware of.
4. When filling in custom tags, it is very unclear, as I got a lot of custom tags I always clicked on the wrong custom tag to fill in content, I hope the custom tag can be renamed. So I can identify the tag. For example, "Custom tag 1" can rename to "Contact Us title" then I can just click on that it can autofilled.
You can easily set your own titles. See here:
Because of some of the reasons above, I spend like 1-2 hours to make all the article properly in 5 sites. For the first 5 sites in the preset template, it can be easy to build, but when building other sites such as Wikidot, a big problem come, editing hyperlinks, editing the video to embed it, removing all the <br/><br/>.
I find that I really spend a lot of time to fix these things, I seriously need a fix to make the work easier.
Not all sites are easy to automate. And some sites will require some manual work. Still if you take a look at the site notes there is a lot of info there that could have saved you a lot of time. Other tools will simply exclude these sites or even worse just post wrongly formatted content. With Autofill Magic you actually have a chance to take control and do it right. Make it a habit to check the site notes and you will get a lot of important info that will speed up the workflow and answer questions.
You can use the 'Ease of use' indicator in the Site note to see if there is something to be extra aware of.
There are three levels:
- Easy (nothing to worry about)
- Medium (some things might be out of the ordinary)
- Tricky (Really tricky sites, like flash sites where autofill do not work and lots of manual steps are needed)
Sure there is stuff that can be improved and trust me we are working on it. I hope that you can use these answers.
Do not hesitate to ask any other questions.
