Hi everybody,
If you want to be able bulk import friends from the OneSwarm Forum posts there is a solution available for you:
mkosf2f_friends
Browse to
http://bico.se/downloads/oneswarm/mkosf2f_friends.tar (TAR-format)
or
http://bico.se/downloads/oneswarm/mkosf2f_friends.zip (ZIP-format)
using your favourite browser. That will start the download of the selected package.
Enjoy!

Great initiative, I used "Strawberry Perl" under Windows to run the script and it works fine.
Thanks a lot for your positive feedback!
/bico
Now there is a Mac OS X Disk Image of mkosf2f_friends available for download as well:
http://bico.se/downloads/oneswarm/mkosf2f_friends.dmg (DMG-format)
Enjoy!
/bico
I can't mount the dmg file
I'm truly sorry, but as it works fine for me I can't help you. Maybe if you can provide me with some error messages or anything else that might point me in the right direction.
/bico
I'll try again maybe I messed up :o)
Ok it work I obviously messed up the download somehow :oP
Now I just need to figure out how to run the script ;o)
Hopefully you will find all the information you need to get started in the README-file.
/bico
Shit this is brilliant!!
Ok for those of you on linux - I had to place the perl file in ~/.oneswarm/osf2f/ in order to make it run. But then it was only:
perl mkosf2f_friends osf2f.friends
And then rename the old osf2f.friends to something and the new "osf2f.friends.out" to "osf2f.friends"
Now everybdy:-)
Thanks!
And I just realised that I can't use the terminal in OS X :oP
I had no problems before I got my mac and had a PC with linux on it but until today I have never needed to use the terminal ever for OS X so I have no clue about the basic commands even :oP
Anyone care to do a "how to" for a retard like me? :oP
I say the same thing as Spindel. All this is Hebrew to me. ^^
1) In Finder, go to Applications -> Utilities and double-click on Terminal.
2) In the README-file that is part of the mkosf2f_friends.dmg-file you will find the necessary information on how to use mkosf2f_friends.

Debug help please :o)
I'm guessing that I'm missing perl modules but I have no idea which :o)
(I told you I'm a retard, I was good at stuff like this a couple of years ago but lack of time and fading interest quickly has removed my skills at it)

Ok?

thx :o)
Awesome! This is why I love free and open source software - great hacks like these appear all the time!
I'm going to try it later.
I get Warning while trying this script. Seems like it can't get info from the forums.
I think it's the if ($httpResponse->is_success) that fails.
Anyone got a hint about how i should solve this?
Running ActivePerl on XP.
I've gotten some PMs about how i used Strawberry Perl to run the script, so i decided to wright a short guide how to run the script:
1. Download and install Strawberry Perl from http://strawberryperl.com
2. Open the CPAN Client. (Start -> Programs -> Strawberry Perl -> CPAN Client)
3. Type "get XML::Simple", "make XML::Simple", "install XML::Simple" and then "exit".
4. Open the command prompt. (Start -> Run -> cmd)
5. Type "C:\strawberry\perl\bin\perl.exe path_to_mkosf2f_script -i path_to_the_original_osf2f -o path_to_the_new_osf2f".
6. Now rename the original osf2f-file to anything and give the new osf2f-file the name "osf2f.friends".
(The osf2f.friends-file is located in C:\Documents and Settings\Your_Username\Application Data\OneSwarm\osf2f)
Excellent! Thanks a lot!

Bah, still getting "mkosf2f_friends: WARNING: HTTP::Response=HASH(0x1079304)->status_line" while trying to run the script, now with Luxmans guide, anyone have a clue?
Temporary fix, change to linux :)
I am truly sorry, but unfortunately the warning message you get is incorrect. It should print a descriptive message. I will correct that in the next version of mkosf2f_friends. However, if the incorrect warning message is printed, then that indicates that you are unable to obtain information from a OneSwarm Forum topic per incorrect warning message printed.
Below you will find a real and working example of an URL requested by mkosf2f_friends:
http://forum.oneswarm.org/topic/160
If you are unable to get that URL from the command prompt of your operating system using something like curl or wget, then you have a problem that you have to resolv to be able to use mkosf2f_friends.
Good luck!

Hi.
This works on linux (only need to install XML from basic install).
But, when i look at it it seems like it only takes the first page from every page?
Like the fist 30 users (or posts) in every subject.
Is that correct?
Well, yes, unfortunately that seems to be true. Thanks a lot for your invaluable input. I will have a look at that issue as soon as possible.
Stay tuned!
/bico
Oh, and one more question, are they added as limited?
Yes, they are added as limited friends. Anything else would be inconvenient.
/bico
Sounds good (limited).
About several pages in one topic. You are getting the page i guess (i don't code perl) and search for http://forum.oneswarm.org/topic/$publicKeyTopics/page/2 (or current page plus one or something) and make a loop for it?.
anyways, nice little thingy, will keep checking here for info :)
Med a few changes to get some more keys for now, i'm sure you can make a more autmated script for this but it take the subpages of the ones you are adding too.
http://www.4shared.com/file/95430482/e162cdc7/2mkosf2f_friends.html
Now we just need to get everyone to post their key and run the script :)
Someone should convert it to java or something so you don't have to mess with perl in windows.
Hi again everybody,
Now there is a new version of mkosf2f_friends available. A couple of bugs have been fixed and a couple of forum topics have been added.
