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

Any clues?

[Xenon]

hmm, seems like a problem with your DB.

which MySSQL version is running?
the problem is, id 13 is tried to be inserted twice, which is impossible, because the code has this:

PHP Code:

  $tmp=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT MAX(archivid) as maxid FROM archive");
  $archivid=$tmp[maxid]+1; 


which makes shure, that the inserting id does not exist before inserting..

try to delete the table archiv, and recreate it, maybe it could help

It seems to work now. How can i let moderators archive threads into it, by putting a link in the page nav?

[Xenon]

hmm, it's not tested, but if you copy archiv.php from your admin directory into the mod dir and add the links to the pagenav it should work.....

What will happen when VB3 is released? Will this hack cause problems or anything?

[Dean C]

I would have thought it won't be compatible but vb3 already has it's own archive system

@Mist: you can't compare, vb3's archivesystem is just for Searchengines, it doesn't Compress anything as far as i know.

@L-Mane: Nobody could tell, because i havn't tested vb3 yet....
But it's an Addon, so it should work withouth problems, at least the old Archives should stay ok.
The action to convert new Threads into archives could perhaps make problems, i don't know how the db structure has changed.
I will surely make it vb3 compatible when i have enough time for it..

[Dean C]

Oh i see - well it still looks nice

[NuclioN]

Great addition. The only thing that's strange is the connection time out message when i make an archive of a thread with a certain amount of pages.
