Ok nevermind got it..

Open up dt.php

Find:

AFTER add:

That'll replace all spaces in the topic title to underscore's... you can replace the _ with whatever you want to seperate the words.

Works perfectly now in Firefox 1.0

Great hack, Logician! Thanks! Thanks also to ADiuM for sorting out the Firefox issue!

By the way, does anyone else have text formatting problems? Regardless of whether it's txt or rtf, the files don't display exactly right with either Notepad or Word. With Wordpad, it looks fine though.

I'd like to generate a "proper" rtf file by adding some control codes but I need some help. How do I print "{\rtf" without the "\r" being misinterpretted? Also, is there any way to preg_replace or add characters after each line break or carriage return?

Here's sample of rtf code:
That would generate:

Hello!
I need some help.

As you can see, we could also preg_replace the bbcode with rtf code to make nicer looking files. I'd like to do that too but I first need to figure how to get started with the basics.

Regards,

edit:
Figured it out. :)

Attached is my version of dt.php which produces an RTF formatted document. It also interprets the bbcode for bold, italic and underline.

nice improvement, but doesn't work for cyrillic encoding :)

It should.. What exactly happens?

If you're referring to my version, have a look at line 108:
The character encoding is ansicpg1252. Try changing that to the correct version for cyrillic. Sorry, I can't check it right now but just reply if you need more help.

edit:
Perhaps you can try this:
1251 is for Windows 3.1 (Cyrillic) and default language 1026 is for Bulgarian

um, weird, wordpad opens the file but shows only a few lines and those aren't cyrillic either, and word just says "wrong filename/part of file" even if I change the filename to a 1-2 latin characters.

well I'm ok with the pure text version so don't really sweat over it :)

Firefox deals with it kind of badly (when you have downloaded it, it doesn't recognize it as a .txt file unless you open it with notepad from the list) but IE is perfect for it.

Nice work. :squareeyed:

/me installed this hack.

/me whacks install button

version 3.5 of this hack is released here:

Can you still fix the following bug?

Whenever downloading a thread as txt, the SOFT ERASED posts are also written onto the final txt.

I've fixed the bug, thanks for pointing it out. You can replace dt.php with the new file attached to the first post.

Very interesting this remained hidden for such a long time.

This does not work for me--vBulletin Version 3.7.3--and I know I installed it correctly.
The "Download" option shows up in the "Thread Tools" pulldown, but when I click on it I get a blank page.

Perhaps later versions of vBulletin break it. Anyone have a hack that works?

Thank you.

Whoops, my bad. I think I tried to install an outdated hack.
I'm playing with this one now:
