Download Forum Thread To Your Computer (vB 3.5.x)

Here is the vb 3.5.x version of my Download Forum Thread To Your Computer hack. This hacks allows you to download a forum thread into your computer (desktop etc.) as a text file with one click.

The hack adds a "DOWNLOAD THREAD" link inside Thread Tools pop-up and when clicked entire thread is downloaded to your computer. (See Screenshot)

It's useful when:
a) You want to archive and save the thread,
b) Want to read it offline,
c) It's a long thread and you want to browse it faster as a text file, use better searching features of your text editor.

The hack works with 3.5.x, 3.6.x, 3.7.x, 3.8.x (for vb 4.x, 3.0.x and 2.x versions see my profile.)

It is very easy to install. You can install it to your board without modifying any vb files.

If you install it, please click INSTALL, thank you.

Hacks of Hack:
* French Translation
* Version that works with Russian Alphabet
* Download it as RTF instead of TXT.

Enjoy the hack,
Logician

Would it be possible to allow downloading of threads in specific forums only?

edit dt.php, find:

PHP Code:

$threadinfo = &$thread; 


after that add:

PHP Code:

$allowed_forums = array('1','2');

if (is_array($allowed_forums) AND !in_array($threadinfo['forumid'], $allowed_forums)) 
{
    print_no_permission();
} 


Now it allows downloading only in forum 1 and 2.

Edit $allowed_forums = array('1','2'); like to add more forums to allow
