Guide Forum Post Downloader - Tampermonkey Script

Noticed a shortcoming with the current script, at least for goonbox

Sometimes people link images incorrectly.. Like the thumbnail will be correct, but when you click it, it will bring you to another image

In the past, the script would work around that.. Like even if it didn't link to the correct image, it would still figure out via the thumbnail, the corresponding full size image to download

It doesn't do that now. I was in the esther mcgregor thread. One of the posts has 28 images in it. But the script only downloads 23 of them, because 5 of them aren't linked correctly. Oof.
 
Nothing to do with the script. The way goonbox handles images is done differently such that there is no link between the preview medium resolution and the full size on goonbox
 
Oh?

But if I take a thumbnail URL

Code: 
		https://simp5.cuckcapital.cr/04-Jason-Renaud-Esther6d1f0374d1055d5d7.md.jpg

And I simply remove the
Code: 
		.md
from it, then I will get the full res image.

So there's really no reason the script shouldn't be able to download all 28 images
 
Goonbox no longer does .md since it replaced jpg. Old images from before the change still have that, new uploads dont.
 
But then could you add something so that it checks for .md? That way it'll at least catch all images from older posts
 
Guys quick question, is it possible that Gofile bans/flags IP? because the last time I used the forum script to download stuff hosted on gofile was before the script was fixed to work again, and I remember that every time I used it I would no longer be able to access even the main gofile.io website, calling for a "down API"

Now i noticed that even though the script was fixed, it doesn't download any gofile link, and what's funnier, I straight up cannot access the Gofile website anymore unless I'm using a VPN

This is the console output and the post I tried to download: https://simpcityopen.com/posts/2647667/


Chrome and windows 10, Tampermonkey and script on their lastest version
 
Yeah, that's Gofile blocking you directly. If you can't go to the website in a regular browser, the script won't work. It should work on your vpn if you can access the Gofile website there.
 
dang, and what if I change my public IP? I don't mind using VPN for simpcity stuff but, for example, steamrip website provides gofiles downloads which are significantly faster than your usual sketchy hosts. I can contact my ISP and fake out a steam issue to change my IP LOL

Thanks for the reply btw
 
can someone tell me why I can’t post thread it require 1 link and 3 images I did all still can’t I did post thread twice before now it’s a bit difficult now what dose exactly need?
 
Working fine on both for me as well on Chrome. If it's recent, read up on the thread to see if you're affected by the latest Firefox issues, there are some workarounds.
 
Hey all, just a heads up about the new turbo albums feature. It's not working on the current build and I probably won't be able to take a look at it for a while so it may be a couple of weeks before I can get a beta version to running to test.
 
Am i doing something wrong? When I select generate links in the download settings, it's still downloading the video files through the script. I was hoping it would just give me a list of URLs I could then add to jDownloader.
 
It's not just you. It's not putting things into folders named after the thread anymore. And videos don't have their file extensions anymore.
 
Been a minute since I've used this, if there's 40 pages of say Pokimane (there probably is) I'd have to go to all 40+ pages and download at the top correct?

So if I wanted to grab all of it it would take a while
 
Yes, exactly so. You actually want to babysit that full page download as well and verify against the downloaded files if you don't want to miss anything. A stall can mean you get partial on a post and not do the rest of the page.

Anything more than a full page grab would probably trigger the rate limit filters on the forum.
