After trying Midnight it seems great but still some bugs.

1. If you forget to select a category in the Job Creation then it give you an error and closes the window when you click ok. Not good. it should let you select what category you actually want

2. There is not option to list current jobs. For instance i created a bunch of jobs by the same name and then when i goto sumbit i have like 7 jobs by the same name all diffent.. how do i know which is what? I tried opening the database but it asks for a password =(


3. Let us choose how many thumbz are linked to pics. For instance the default is 5 but 18 N Sexy TGP has a limit of minimum 8 pics. (Unless i'm ok crack and the field in the Job Creation means thumbnails). Yeah, you guys should be more specific what that field means in the Job Creation. Pictures: does that mean the number of thumbz of the number of actual large size pics that are linked?
Thx for a good job.

One More thing....

I noticed that the TGPs are cross listed in the categories. So if I am submitting gallery A to all teen TGPs and gallery B to all hardcore TGPs, a TGP might have a rule to 1 submission a day or so and I might end up getting banned!

You might wanna look into that.

I also noticed that in the HTML folder that gets created some of the TGPs reply as remote submissions not allowed.

Isn't Sexy TGP not complying to the rules then?

I figured out this one means how many thumbs you wanna show on the page. There's another place where you can decide how many actual big pic links you want.

It's all good.

Yes i think so too since i got a bunch of feedback that i didn't have enough pics on my page =). I had 20 thumbz and 5 full pics.. but in the Job Creation field i only put 5 in =(. Guess live and learn eh?

Ludedude

OK, let me try to answer these one by one.

Um, if you didn't select a category then how can it create a job? It's all part of the code, so without selecting a category, there effectively is no job to create. Lesson here is select a category.

First off, it clearly states in the terms of the program that cracking or attempting to crack the database or code is a violation of the license under which you're using the software. Let's try not to do that, as the database is the property of Midnight Ventures.

Second, why would you create jobs all using the same name? Every time you go to replicate pages or submit pages there is a list of jobs. If you named them all the same, that's not the fault of the software is it? I suggest you name each job something different and descriptive so you can keep them straight. There is a fair amount of room for naming the jobs, so you can be pretty clear as to which is which.

Yes, the field in the job creation page means the total number of thumbs, not just the linked ones. 18NSexy means a minimum of 8 thumbs, not linked pics so to answer Kush's comment, they are 100% TGP-2 compliant.

If you have other questions, let me know. If I can answer them I will, if not you'll have to wait for Midnight...he's been up for 3 days working on this thing and he's taking some much needed rest

ehm ok... i'm just saying about the Job creation, all software usually double checks for duplicates and so should Midnight Sumbitter. For instance I think there's a bug in mine (win2k pro) cuz the Jobs are only shown in the Submit part of the program not in the page replication. I have to create a new job everytime for the page replication

Ludedude

When I use it, I first create a job and add it using the add job button. Next, I open the replicate pages function and the job (or jobs) I previously created are listed there. I just check off the one I want to replicate pages for and it does it. When I go to submit, it again lists the jobs, so I select then one to submit (after having uploaded the pages of course) and push the submit button. All done.

Since you can select the sites to submit to when you create the job you have to follow the rules regarding multiple submissions yourself. Most of them are still allowing more than one submission per webmaster per day, so you shouldn't get banned for that.
However, I don't suggest you spam the TGP's with multiple galleries daily. Two a day should be plenty. Personally, I won't list more than two galleries per webmaster (not domain) per day, so that should be a good rule of thumb to follow for now. Try to be fair to everyone else that is submitting and you'll all get a chance to get galleries up.

God love ya LudeDude!

Some just install the program, read the instructions and wham their cooking out galleries within minutes. A few unfortunately don't do it quite as smoothly.
I'm sorry for you Morph, that you fell into the latter category. ~smiles sweetly~

Thank you beyond words LD, that you are able to assist with such eloquence and fortitude.

We are exhausted and overjoyed at the overall response, results, and reception the tool has received.
After 3 days up I too, am going to get some much needed rest now.
LD has graciously offered to assist those that he is able to in our absence and he on ICQ if not here or the TGP2 board.

You may feel free to e-mail me at [email protected] if you have additional questions and I or Midnight will get back to you when we are able.

Have a lovely evening everyone,

Warm regards and a bright smile of thanks for you LudeDude for all of your help tonight,

Kandi

This is due to the fact that the program is a beta. The license and the website clearly state that the application is released solely for the purpose of addressing the issues that would arise from testing between the submitters(ie you) and the webasters(ie the individual who owns the site you are submitting to). Midnight Ventures makes no warantee or guarantee on the existing software you are "testing" as a participant in the program, and is provided as a courtesy for free, and not as a service for a paid fee.


I will look into this, I suggest that any suspected bugs that you find are submitted via the Bug Report form at http://www.midnighttgp.com/submitter/


I believe I understand what you are asking. Jobs get promoted through the process. Once a job is created it is only viewable from the Replication menu. Once a Job is replicated it is only viewable from the Submission menu. Jobs may be recycled on the submission menu back to the Replication menu. Jobs that are demoted from the replication menu are jobs that are deleted and need to be recreated.

I do agree that there should be one screen, perhaps we can call it "JOb Status" where you can look at the jobs. I will attempt to accomplish this by Wedensday's release.

The Database is, as mentioned above by Ludedude, property of Midnight Ventures and is password protected.


I agree. In the galleries, you place your pictures on the template using the ~xpic~ keyword in your html template form. The application creates a picture everywhere that you have the ~xpic~ keyword. Perhaps a second keyword, like ~xlpic~ would indicate the pic you want linked. This way people can choose how many, and where, the linked pictures will be. During the free beta period, that application automatically selects the first five pictures encountered as linked pictures.


I contemplated doing this in an unattended section of the application that would allow you to schedule the submission of jobs days or weeks in advance. Since many of the TGP2 boards have not finalized their rules, and since this is a free beta, the onus is on the submitter at this time to regulate their submissions. I will take this into consideration.


If you could email those to me at [email protected] I would appreciate it. I have not seen any responses like that myself. All sites placed into the submitter were done so at the request of the webmasters. If a webmaster is sending out a response like that, they will be REMOVED from the submitter list. In our opinion, this would be akin to a gallery creator placing a gallery into submission and then modifying it after it was posted. The submitter is a tool that allows TGP2 webmasters to get their sites on an auto-submission list and I will not allow any webmasters to receive posts from my tool and then change their posting rules anymore than I would allow a gallery creater to post to my tgp2 board and then change their gallery page to all blind links.

If there are any other questions I can address, please feel free to contact Kandi or myself.

Regards,
