Save / Download Thread as PDF

[Tralala]

Since the users have recently learned that threads can be deleted at any time once a hack is removed, there may be some discomfort when it comes to installing a complex hack that's got thousands of posts of important support issues. We're depending on the health of relationships of people outside of our control, and that resource may disappear at any time.

So, I'd like to be able to save entire threads to my own computer.

Is there a way to "Save this thread" as text? The "Show Printable Version" shows, at maximum, only 100 posts.

How about "Save Thread as PDF?" Could that be installed?

I like that mod, but it needs a bit of work to work here, but i think, my team will be able to make the needed changes.

i am just not sure about big threads, iirc there were some timeouts mentioned in that thread (i looked at it for another board once)

Thanks for the consideration. For the record, PDF being the resulting file format is a luxury IMHO.

At the very least, if the built-in "Show Printable Version" function could be expanded to show the complete thread (and not just 50 or 100 posts) it would also fit the bill. Users could then just save that page as text.

Personally i think that a feature like that should be a default vb feature.

so i will give a definite yes to it, as long as we manage to fix it, but i don't think there should be a big problem

I don't have discoverd time-outs with that hack yet.
But it gives an error when I'm trying to PDF a thread and it has attachements.

Ya, if you fix that it could be a major time saver for those big threads where no one offically supports the hack/mod but there are fixes contributed by people and you don't feel like digging through all the pages.

I get this Error after Installing and trying :

FPDF error: Alpha channel not supported: http://www.politikstube.de/forum/images/logo.png

[Xenon]

yeah, these are the issues i mean

well, a said i'll assign one of my team to fix it, and if possible it will be installed

It would be great!

Thanks again for the consideration!
