Aprox 15 people downloaded the plugin so far, but no one has left any comments. What gives? Tell me about your experience with it. Did it work for you? Did it not work? Do you have a different senerio that Skrape could be used in with slight modification? Let me know.
In responce to Mike. I am not sure off the top of my head the differences between the readme file and this page Read Me
The best way I can think to describe what this plugin does, besides what is in the first paragraph of the previously mentioned post…. It will make a remote http request to a site, login (if turned on) vi a form get or post and then grab the html content from a URL and grab all the html content with a regular expression pattern that you supply. Then it inserts that grabbed text/html and inserts it into wordpress as a post in the category you choose. So if you wanted to grab a block of content from somebodie’s website every so often, you could. If you want to take everything on a page then just use the following pattern /.*/smU or if the content you want is alway in a comment you could do something like this /<!– Start content –>(.*)^<!– End content –>/smU

I’ll tell you I’m intrigued by this plugin. I went ahead and downloaded it. I even went ahead and installed it. But I haven’t configured it yet. I kind of glanced at the readme file to see what would be involved. Unfortunately, I got the laziness bug so I haven’t got around to setting this thing up. Part of the problem is that the readme file doesn’t tell me exactly what this plugin will accomplish and how it will accomplish it. I would really like to see some examples of the plugin in action, something to convince me it’s worth the time and effort to set the plugin up. Maybe a link to a site that’s being Skraped and a link to the blog so we can do a comparison. My main questions are what will this plugin grab off the site? does it grab every bit of content on a page (i.e. links, images, etc)? Does it post the content in a summary format? I realize I could find all this out if I just tried using the plugin. But I really hate spending time on something just to learn how it works especially if I could quickly learn such information if it was in the readme file. At any rate, props to you for taking the time to create a plugin like this and allowing us to give you feedback.
