[vbgamer45]

The only other thing I suggest is maybe putting a link on the theme you are using to the archive.

[Assistance]

only use one theme
to many mods to edit other themes

ty for your advice much apreciated

[PrizeLive.com]

another great mod.. thanks!!

[HecKel]

Great mod! But I have 2 suggestions:

1) Link on the footnote to archive (on the index.php)
2) Admins (and moderators) can select thread to be only visible on the archive. This is with big forums with a lot of old threads..., and avoid new members to reply VERY OLD threads...

What does it do?

[Assistance]

it strips out all the images and shows your forum as only text

its great for faster searching of a forum and surfing it

and as said by vbgamer45
Allows search engines to help spider your forum easier.

So it does mirror the text-part of the forum into an Archive on the same Server / Database?

Yes, just a different way to display the forum information

[URPG]

Could it be made to backup into another database? Then it would be more then just a text-only mirror, it would be a real backup too.

That would require a lot of work.

[URPG]

It was just an idea of mine to have a backup in another database, maybe even on another server... would improve uptime as well as data safety...

But I am not a coder, it's up to you guys to know how much work it is and if it can be done...

[MarkoWeb]

how i can change the path, i want it to be in the folder archive,i dont want it to be in the forum folder...

[vbgamer45]

You would need to change in Archive.php

Code Select Expand


require_once(dirname(__FILE__) . '/Settings.php');

To

Code Select Expand


require_once('../Settings.php');

require_once('../Settings.php');


Warning: require_once(../Settings.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/*****/public_html/arhiva/archive.php on line 9

[vbgamer45]

Is the forum in the root directory of public_html?

[MarkoWeb]

No, forum is in directory "forum"

[vbgamer45]

Well then u need to change it to
require_once('../forum/Settings.php');

[clemenzo]

I installed successfully into my fresh SMF 1.1 final but encounter 'Internal Server Error' when I try to access the archive.php file..

My forum directory is in forum and both Settings.php and archive.php are in forum directory root. What's wrong?

My web server error log shows:
Premature end of script headers: /home/smf/public_html/forum/archive.php

Thank you!
