Tweet Image: how does the randomization work? Not random here! :)

Post by bitcoin »

Update: maybe the problem is that I repeat the Action every 23 minutes and the program therefore keeps the one tweet it created on a 23 minute cycle and not a new randomization and tweet every 23 minutes... I hope not and if so: how to solve?

I SENT AN EMAIL TOO.

All are Post Image Tweets. I had some fun with all the options it offers and I'm pretty proud on the end result. So far, so good!

Though as you can see, I have many lines of codes with many options to chose a kw on many places, I should have crazy amounts of variation. Yet as you can see, two tweets after each other both are identical, except for the bitly link.

Why? Mathematically this should be impossible, right? : )

I'm looking at my "code" and will send you a copy (sent!)

Thanks Martin.

so you have loaded many images into the POST IMAGE module?
Did you check UNIQUE?

The action repeats every 20 minutes (ish) and appears to be posting the same image every time?

How many images are in the action?



I didn't see any email this morning on this issue, did you send? Also submit logs

No, just the single 1...

I will check and re-edit. Post-edit: Unique option is off. 1 image. Dozens of variations, each with their own inner {kw1|kw2} choices...

How many images are in the action?
The image is not the problem: I only have 1 image. I need that image out but with as many variations as possible, at high paste.

Sorry I don't understand your issue.

You have loaded one image
so what do you want to do? That image will keep being posted.

do you mean the tweet TEXT is duplicated? That is the issue?

Also see the five example tweets - seems obvious to me.

Nothing is randomized! Only the bitly url changes, nothing else. MAYBE the picture randomizes ok, but I have only the 1.

From your email:
But I see the issue now, it is the tweets are not randomised / spun, let me check
Finally! 8-)

ok, I understand the issue now.

It isn't really a bug, just how it works doesn't suit what you trying to do.

When you use specify multiple tweet bodies using the *** separation token, when you save the ASSIGN META screen, those are used to assign to the images AT THAT POINT.

so you have 1 image, that is being given a tweet body, the others are discarded as there are no other images.

If you had loaded in 100 images, then each image would be assigned a different body.


Unfortunately, it won't work with spintax either, as the image tweet body is fixed after the assign meta form...

Just added a token for you

#fille:c:\path\to\file.txt#

where you can specify all your possible texts that will be randomised when posting NOT when creating the action

The next update will include this. I shall let you know when it is ready.

Martin
