Configuration Pack with Shea's Dell Refresher
Standalone Configuration Pack (Exclusion of Shea's Dell Refresher)
Description
This will automatically match items that are within the specified price range (it looks only at the discounted price), and will tick off any items that fall within your price range. If it has selected one or more items, it will automatically add them to your cart (in a new window) and it will then continue refreshing the Inventory page every 5 seconds!
How to Specify The Price Range
In the filters, you'll see ([#0-1],|)[#000-999]
This will make it look for any item that is $0 to $1,999. If you would like to make it match something that is $0 to $800, change the above to:
[#000-800]
If you would like to match something that is between $0 and $30,999, change the above to:
([#00-30],|)[#000-999]
Hopefully you get the idea
In v3.0, I've added a cents specification as well. Customize it using the pattern and logic above. (E.g: If you want to buy something up to $900.50, set it to [#000-900].[#00-50])
How to set it up
1. Download the file.
2. Open with WinRAR/WinZIP (or an uncompressor of your choice)
3. Extract to the same path where Proxomitron is located. (Usually "C:\Program Files\Proxomitron Naoko-4")
4. Click "Yes" when it lets you know that "This folder already contains a folder named 'html'"
5. Open Proxomitron so that you're in the main screen.
6. Click on File, Load Config File
7. Select "Dell.cfg"
!!!Always use the following URL whenever you want to use it!!!:
http://local.ptron/Dell.html

Allowing Dell Pop-Up in Firefox and Internet Explorer
Firefox and Internet Explorer v6 both block the Dell popup by default. The following are screenshots on how to add dell.com to the Allowed Sites list. They should be self-explanatory.

Firefox:
Also, you MUST have Javascript enabled. For Firefox users, make sure dell.com is in your NoScript (or other) bypass list. For IE users, add dell.com to your Trusted Sites list.

BubBowen Wrote:In IE, go to Tools, Internet Options, Temporary Internet Files/Settings, and then select "Every visit to the page" for the top setting "Check for newer versions of stored pages". That will make it refresh totally each time it refreshes.
