When Plucking PDABuzz Mobile Edition
( http://mobile.pdabuzz.com ) I can't get
beyond depth 3 on their site? The Plucker
Viewer is stating that the link is probably an
external site? If so, how can Plucker reach
this external site (if possible)?
I've looked through the site (neat find, incidentally), and yes indeed, past level three it's almost always external links. You can tell by highlighting them in your regular PC browser and looking where they point... if it's not *.pdabuzz.com, it's external.
In general you won't want to grab external sites because they'll have heavy graphics and lots of other links. For example, follow...
Home (level 1)
This is as deep as the site goes, but it has links, for example, sentence #2 is:
- If you missed the news in the T-Mobile Sidekick thread , the communicator-formerly-known-as-Danger Hiptop is now for sale at the T- Mobile Web site . It sells for $200 after a $50 rebate and comes with an unlimited service plan for $40/month (for the first year).
- If you missed the news in the <a href=""http://forums.pdabuzz.net/showthread.php?s=e0d21e5aa9c35b5331548763ebde5777&threadid=42338"" target="_blank"> T-Mobile Sidekick thread </a>, the communicator-formerly-known-as-Danger Hiptop is now for sale at the <a href=""http://www.t-mobile.com/"" target="_blank">T-Mobile Web site </a>. It sells for $200 after a $50 rebate and comes with an unlimited service plan for $40/month (for the first year).
As an excercise, go to the T-Mobile.com web site. Lots of JavaScript, graphics, forms, etc. Not PDA-friendly. You probably don't really want to grab it.
If you really DO want to grab these, ensure that none of the following are set: --stayonhost, --stayondomain, --staybelow. (In the Desktop, these are on Limits tab for that channel.) But if that's the case, you probably should also get comfortable with the inclusion and exclusion lists and manually exclude all remote graphics.
