Archiv for vBulletin
 

Ok, i have completed my Archivhack now

Hackversion: 3.00
Known Bugs: The permissionsystem doesn't work with php4.1.x
What it does:
It compresses a thread in the database, so it would take less space, but it cannot be posted in it anymore.
Zlib-functions must be installed on your server. Without this hack won't work

You can revert Archives to threads when you want it.
A small searchengine is also included.


Install it at your own risk!!!
It should work without problems, it has been tested very long, but you know Murphys Law.. ;)

A hint how to use it with PPN's thread description Hack is in the install file.

Thanx to Foxtroter for the help on english Templates.
The conversion can take a longer timespan, read this for optimization.

look at the screenies below

This looks like a great hack! :)

I may use it when I'm in need of some more space.

Good hack!
I will install later.

Thank you very much, now it works.

I love this hack :)

A little wish for the next Version:
Archive Threads by Date. Convert all Threads which are older than xxxxx.

ok, will do what i can :)

but i think this wouldn't be next week, because i'm happy now that i've released it, and now i want to make another hack, before i'll optimize it ;)

but post your wishes, so i can include them all in next version :)

How about using PPN's recent thread description hack to be able to add descriptions to the archives? Or will this already work if you have PPN's thread description hack installed?
