Archivhack for vB

Ok, i have written a small Archivhack, more an Addon but i think i can post it here.

What it does:
It compresses a thread in the database, so it would take less space, but it cannot be posted in it anymore.

It isn't finished now, but you can already use it now.

I won't give full support for this Hack, but if you have suggestion, you can post them here.

While this Hack is in its Beta, most Expressions are in german, but i think this wouldn't be a problem

i have written a small convertingscript, to convert old archives into the new format. just copy the file in your admin folder and start it.

be carefull, if you have changed some codelines in my old makearchiv.php
there shouldnt be problems if you have just changed the colors of your archiv, but if you have changed the dateformat, you must change the line mktim(....) into the right format too

i have testet the script an it works very good on my local server, but i won't be responsible if it dont work on yours.
now, it doesent kill the old tables, so you can make more tries.

if every archiv is converted and it looks right, there is no need any longer for the archivpages table, so kill them in the database.

And a small bugfix to showarchiv.php:
line 132
$archivpost[username]=substr($fullpost,$idstop+1,$namestop-$idstop-1);
must be
$archivpost[postusername]=substr($fullpost,$idstop+1,$namestop-$idstop-1);

hope this can help you guys.

i think next version will be the release version.
i'll make some cosmetics to the templates, and a reconverter to threads, and a small install routine...

perhaps i'll post one more betaversion with the reconverter, we'll see
