Image host settings
03.
Default settings usually work fine. Update if needed.
Upload for |
|
|
"Upload for" is used to specify for which post types to use this host. By default it's being used for all types. However if you need you can use different image host for "Video" and "Audio" posts or any other combination. You don't need to change anything if you don't want to use different hosts for different types. |
Use for |
|
|
"Use for" has types: "Cover", "Preview", "NFO", "TXT". By default image host is being used for all types, but if you need you can use one host for "Cover" and different host for "Preview". |
Sections |
|
|
Assing section for specific host with needed user. Only assing if needed. By default host is being used for all sections. |
Other settings |
|
|
Requests limit - how many images upload at the same time for this host. Usually 2 works fine. If you change to more the upload speed might be slower and host might not like too many requests at the same time and will show errors.
Thumbnail widths - custom widths for specific hosts. By default general options are used from settings. Only override if needed. Use gallery - option is available for some image hosts. When enabled images for post are uploaded to a gallery and you can include it's link in cover / preview templates by using {#imagesGalleryUrl#} tag. Randomize filenames - usually not needed. When enabled images are uploaded with random names (how many random letters and numbers to include can be adjusted in global "Settings" -> "Process" -> "Upload"). Use as backup host - when enabled the host is not used at all unless error happens with other added image hosts. It would be used only as a backup in those cases. |

The result message after the applied replacement will be shown at the bottom area.
Each post type can have different replacements and they are applied to message / subject after processing is done.

When adding replacement make sure to choose correct post type or apply to all if needed.
You can use the replacements for few various reasons. Let's take a look at the basic examples.
- If you don't need [center] tag you can easily remove the [center] from the message.
-
You would only need to add these two replacements:
Search string: [center]
Replace with: (leave empty)
Search string: [/center]
Replace with: (leave empty) - Sometimes you need more advanced replacement. The regular expressions (regex) search is very handy in those situations. Regex is a very big topic and for more information and tutorials just search on Google.
- You can also use it to remove a line with some word.
Search string: .*cat.*(\n)
Replace with: $1
Mark the "regex search" checkbox.
This would remove all lines from the message which contain a word "cat". - To add something at the start of the subject (add in "Subject" replacements tab):
-
Search string: .+
Replace with: YourText $0
Mark the "regex search" checkbox.
This will add "YourText" at the start of the subject.
Don't use it for prefixes. themaPoster already have options for that. - You could remove the [url] tags like this [url=http://something.com]text[/url] with replacement:
-
Search string: (?i)\[url=(.+?)\](.+?)\[/url\]
Replace with: $1
Mark the "regex search" checkbox.
All the [url=http://something.com]text[/url], would be replaced to just "http://something.com". - See the help topic of the replacements in the forum for more useful examples.
Some links about regular expressions suggested by "Wurstmu":
- http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/util/regex/Pattern.html - general information.
- http://www.regular-expressions.info/ - very good source for all implementations of regular expressions. It also explains the basic concepts (greedyness, back references) well.
- http://www.regexr.com/ - good training environment with short reference; it tests in real time and is also a real time saver if you want to develop and test more complex expressions. User regex library available to get inspired.
- https://regex101.com/ - another real-time testing / training site for various regex flavours. It has also a short reference and a user expressions library..
- http://regexone.com/ - interactive online learning course for regex - very good for a first contact with the topic.
You can also test the replacement.
Enter the "search for" and "replace with" (if needed enable the regex) -> enter some text in the top message area -> press the "Test replacement" button.
The result message after the applied replacement will be shown at the bottom area.

Tips on selecting your hosts / posts / statuses and items from other lists
01.
Hosts / posts / statuses / etc. are displayed in the simple list.
To select a single item just click on the name.
There are few ways to select multiple items:
Let's take a look at search and filter possibilities in all lists
To select a single item just click on the name.
There are few ways to select multiple items:
- Hold down CTRL key and click on items you want to select.
- Hold down SHIFT key to select a range of items.
- Press on single item, then press CTRL+A to select all items.
- Use the "select all" button (bottom left in the screenshot) to select all items.
- Use special search and filter field at the bottom:
Just type the name or part of the name you want to filter and all items containing the searched string will be filtered.
- There is special search and filter keyword "NOT". Must written at the start all uppercase. Will filter everything not containing words after it.
- There is special search and filter keyword "OR". For example: text1 OR text2.
- There is special search and filter keyword "AND". For example: text1 AND text2.
- You can also enable in "Settings" -> "List search as selector" and then all filtered items will be automatically selected.
Let's take a look at search and filter possibilities in all lists
| List | You can filter by | Special filter terms |
|---|---|---|
| Hosts | URL, name | - |
| Users | username, password (or access key) | - |
| Posts | subject | without imdb, tp sent, tp not sent |
| Sections | section name | - |
| Process status | status message, type, section, folder name | - |
General settings
02.
You can find general settings in "Main settings" window -> "General" tab.
- Processes limit - the number of how many posts are processed at the same time. You should keep in mind that after one post is processed the process closes. If limit is reach the statuses are simply put in the queue. Don't set it too high or you might experience "out of memory" errors.
- Timeout - seconds which indicates that host was unresponsive. Usually the default value of 8 works fine. If you have very slow internet and seeing a lot of "read timeout" errors you might try to increase the value of this setting.
- Buffer size - is used when uploading. Bigger size might make it faster if host can accept that and your Internet connection is faster. However it really needs testing to know for sure and is hard to tell if it makes any difference. Hosts usually have limits even if your upload speed is much faster.
Other tips
03.
A lot of elements in the program has a little tooltip pop-up box with information.
All buttons with just an icon has it, also a lot of fields, table rows or cells and other things.
To view the message simply mouse over an element and don't move for 1 second.
Clean-up at least some of the statuses from "STATUS" tab table when they are not needed anymore.
They do take some of the memory (RAM).

License information
04.
There is menu under "Help" -> "License" where you can see the license information and copy the license key fast when needed.
At the bottom there is number (which means days the license is valid for) and two buttons: first one just opens the same "Help"->"License" window. Second - opens page in browser with extending information.
The number at the bottom becomes yellow when less than 10 days left until expiration date and red when less than 5 days left.
When less than 3 days you will see a small information message with reminder to extend.
