But if he did not set it to send the CSS to the filesystem that will not help unless there is a way to actually get the information from the database itself. If its stored in the database then you might be able to open up the database fie and find info about the style & css settings. And of course like Lynne said you can see the CSS in the page source, but that will only work if you had the site up and running.

He's getting the information from archive.org. They have cached copies of pages stored and he is grabbing the images from there. So, he may be able to get the CSS from the page source there also.

That's exactly right. Done it many times using the webpagetest tool.

Ah ok I was not aware that you could even do that. I never have really used that site before, looks like a pretty neat useful tool. :)

I'm trying to do this but I don't see where on webpagetest I can get the CSS.

For example this is one archive page - https://web.archive.org/web/20090309....deuceace.com/

Old page but its better than nothing :)

Just View Page Source and grab all the CSS listed under this code:

HTML Code:

<style type="text/css" id="vbulletin_css">

/**

* vBulletin 3.7.1 CSS

* Style: 'DeuceAce V.2.0'; Style ID: 3

*/

body

{

        background: #FFA700;

        color: #3A0000;

        font: 10pt verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;

        margin: 0px 0px 0px 0px;

        padding: 0px;

}

Then go to your Main CSS page and fill it in as best as possible using the CSS you see there.

Put that URL in at webpagetest and run the test.

You'll get a results page like this.

Click on "waterfall view" and every line is a link to the file in question, for copying.

Underneath that result, there's a "view all images" link where you can now copy all images.

Hey,

Thanks for the replies, been working on the database and finally got everything working.

I have all the images showing up now through the waterfall view - They are also in the directory that I need - I seem to have most files apart from the da_imgs - Is there any quick way to save the images rather than saving each individually?

Thanks very much again :)

I know for some browsers plugins can do that, in firefox there's a few that allow you to download all images on a page (if thumbnails then they will be the thumb size image unless they linked to original and its a thumb using width/height css).

Thanks for the link, tried that a few times but its not working - Its not taking any images from the page..

Maybe archive has it set so images cant be downloaded through Download Them All or WinHTTrack?

I have the full site up now but just don't have any of the images...

It would take a very long time to download each individual image but maybe its my only option

All times are GMT. The time now is 12:50 AM.
