hi,

my forum is getting very large now, and the members asking for an offline-version for searching and reading. Is there a way (a "hack" or tool) to do this? does an offline-player exists?

thanks,

sascha.

Hey, this was easier than I thought. Check out the static version of my Vb:

http://www.pelicanbbs.com/ (it's still generating right now).

I thought that the server load would kill the machine, but it seems to be plugging away with almost no loss in performance. The Perl program I wrote is knocking thru each and every post and saving it on the hard drive. Also changing and updating the links in the referring pages...

Here's a reply that I posted on VBulletin.com:

Yup, I'll release it as a hack - just doing some testing. Unforunately, it's written in Perl, and I think most people here are PHP experts. I'm a bit reluctant to throw it out there, because I don't want 1000s of people emailing me questions about it (I already get about 200 emails a day, not including the junk).

We archive our HTML site on CD-ROM, so this would be a good start. The trouble is, that the images are still hyperlinks and would need to be resolved locally (something I didn't do yet).

Also, for my site, the file sizes are 1.4GB. However, this is for a BBS with 41000 threads, and 265,000 posts...

Anyone know of a search-engine that can parse HTML data, but be run as an executable on CD-ROM? That would be the killer in 'killer-app' for this...

I would love to get a search engine that could work on a CD-ROM. It would basically have to be a stand-alone .exe (probably for windows, since that's what most people use) and be able to read from an index on the CD and find files on the CD. Very possible, is there something out there like that? Not high enough on my list to write it...

My boss just asked for a static CD-ROM version of our bulletin board. Is this a possibility now?

I have indeed written this, and it runs and archives the pages every Sunday night.

http://www.pelicanbbs.com/

However, it still has active links. I suppose that you could use this to create a CD-ROM archive, but I have a feeling that it would take a long time...

Hmmm....

Our forums have 2257 posts. It is a low-traffic, professional board. Would this small quantity of posts be feasible with your software?

Sure. I just haven't had time to repackage it as a hack. It's written in Perl too, which makes it a bit more complicated for those who don't know it...
