Here are a few things to speed up your works. Well, at least it sped mine up. many years ago when I first started it would take me many hours just to created galleries and makes all the different copies with the recips. After that it took me many more hours just to submit them. Boy, what a waste of time that was. So, I started trying to find ways to speed my work up. Over a period of time I came up with a system that drastically improve the time it took to do things from start to finish. No, this does not involve any type of auto submission software. Ok, here are the steps.
1. Gather your list of tgps that you want to submit to. (more can be added later)
2. Now you want to create templates with 4 recips each. Open up your html editor and start by creating the first template. (the code below is exactly what it should look like for the excepting of the fake recips/url I will put as an example)
Click here to see what the template html should look like
After you made the first template save it in a folder called Gllery Templates within whatever folder your store all your work related stuff in. Save the first template as 1.html
Now keep doing this till you have every TGP used up.. Name all templates accordingly. (EXACTLY THIS WAY - 1.html, 2.html, 3.html up to whatever number of templates you made. This will be important)
3. Ok, so now you have all the gallery recip templates done. Now what? Now you must make the submit page template. You will want to make this in frames. (a left and right frame)
Click here for an example of what I mean - Submit template
I shortened the template a little just to use as an example. Now, you see how the first thing you see in the left hand pane is Non recips than at the bottom you see 1.html, you click that and see tgps (link right to the submit page) and than 2,html and more TGPs.. There's a reason they are named 1.html, 2.html and so on.. This way you will know exactly what template goes with which submit page.
4. Now that you have all of that done you are well on your way. Your next step in to build the gallery, but wait.. I will still have to insert the main gallery's html into all of the templates manually you say.. I got you covered.. For this use software like Search and Replace 98 or any other good search and replace software.
Once you have that software go into your Gallery Templates folder (the one you created in step 2), grab them all and copy them. Now go into the folder where the gallery you are building in, create a new folder called Temp and paste the templates in that folder.
After you did that go into the folder and open 1.html with Notepad. Make sure you have the html for your gallery open also. Now open your search and replace program..
In 1.html highlight
</ body >
</ html >
Paste that into the Find Multiple Lines in your search and replace software (I'm using the stuff in Search and replace 98 as an example)
Now go into the html of your gallery and grab EVERYTHING starting from BELOW the * body * tag (DO NOT GRAB THE BODY TAG) all the way down to the * / html * tag and copy it. Go back to your search and replace software and past this in Replace With Multiple Lines.
Now pick the location (using whatever option is in your search and replace software to chose the location of files you want changed) of the gallery templates (in the temp folder you created within your gallery folder) and hit the Start button or whatever it may be to start the replacing.
Now, in the search and replace software delete the shit that you have in Find Multiple Lines and Replace Multiple Lines so it's empty again. Go back into the notepad where you have 1.html and grab from the closing > of the body that all the way to < html> and copy it. now go back into your search and replace software and paste that into the Find Multiple Lines box.
Go back into the html for your gallery and grab the same... Right from the closing > of the body tag all the way to < html> and copy it.. Go back into your search and replace software and paste this into the Replace Multiples Lines With. Now hit the Start button again.
This wil add the remaininng html to the templates makin it so that there are 10, 20, 100 or more copies of your gallery all with the apporpriate recips.
5. Now you have to rename all the templates.. Oh, what a pain in the ass you say? Not at all.. Use software like Princeton File Renamer. I will use commands and options from this software as an example.
Open up Princeton File renamer. At the bottom you will see a tab that says Prefix or Suffix.. Click that. In the Prefix box enter the name of the gallery (the name that you gave the original gallery you build on step 1.. JUST THE NAME... NO .HTML... NO Numbers). So lets assume you named it fuck-me-hard-bitch.html that would mean that you would put
fuck-me-hard-bitch
in the Preffix box. Ok, now that's done. Now you have to get the folder where your templates are.. So, by using the pane on the left side grab the folder where your templates are. (Remember, the temp folder within the folder that has your gallery). Once you clicked that folder you will see the templates appear in the right hand pane.. Now click on Preview. This will allow you to see if it did it right. If it all looks right click on Apply. This will rename EVERY template in that folder.
6. Now you can go into that folder (the folder where your gallery is) by going to my computer, c: and so on.. Once you're there go into the temp folder, grab all the newly edited templates, CUT them, go back into the main gallery folder and paste the templates there.
Now you're done making the gallery. It may sound slow, but it's not. At first it may take some time, but the instant you get the hang of it you will see what I mean.
7. Now for subitting.. Only thing you need here is a PAID version of AI RoboForm which will help you massively and really speed up the submission process. The reason I say get the paid one is because with the free copy you only have 5 custom feilds that you can use to add shit for the for filler to fill. (the are things on TGP form that you want filled), but you will need way more than five otherwise you will be doing a lot of manual typing. Only you can really now what you will need from the form filler so I can give you much more info.
Anyway, I hope that this way a help to some people. Just remember, it may sound like a long and boring thing to do, but once you have this all down I guarantee that it will make submitting galleries a breeze. Oh and you can also do the same exact thing with MGP galleries and even free site. (link lists). I have it set up for everything.. tgps, mgps and links lists.
Enjoy.
