archive that works

[dethfire]

hi gary can you update your archive to work with vb3, alot of people can't use the builtin archive because it won't work with IIS or PHP as CGI

gary?

I too would like to see a ARCHIVE that would work for PHP running under CGI. It seems that this is a much needed hack.

use the vb Easy Archive and add this to your apache config file for the particular site:

RewriteRule ^/archive/forum/([0-9]+).html$ /archive/forum.php?id=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^/archive/topic/([0-9]+).html$ /archive/topic.php?id=$1 [L]

rename the topic & forum pages to be .php and then add
$threadid=$id; to topic.php on about line 15
and
similarily $forumid=$id; to forum.php ... that's about it.

actually it's not that easy, there are forum permission issues and several field names that don't match up and cause problems
