Description: Allows you to download an entire thread in PDF format, viewable in any PDF viewer such as Adobe Acrobat or Foxit Reader. Details: Previously, there was a modification that performed this task however that modification is no longer supported and the backend used was seriously out-of-date and suffered from quite a few bugs. I've gone ahead and created this modification around an entirely different backend, one which works quickly and flawlessly. Requirements: Notes: Please note, these prerequesits may already be installed on your system. If you're unsure, simply install the modification and upon usage it will inform you if something is missing. If you happen to be fortunate enough to be using Debian, the above requirements can be installed with the following packages: Code:
# apt-get install html2ps Code:
# apt-get install gs-common [hr]-[/hr] Usage: Under "Thread Tools", simply select "Download as PDF" which will be located under "Show Printable Version". Easy, eh? [hr]-[/hr] Installation:
Notes: All template modifications are made automatically. They attach to pretty common text locations, so modified styles shouldn't* be a problem.

As my firend says, not all engines use the attribute. Also, while Google not double listing content in this way, other engines may do so - and Google will not take kindly to you have duplicate content indexed elsewhere (at least, this is what I believe). I also have no desire to allow a printable thread, if they wish to print the thread so much they can print the normal page (or now, use this).
Also, I intend to allow only members access to this - so no duplicate content issues there. |
