Archival tool updated with Codex May 2026 It seems that it’s pretty tricky to save an entire discourse site to a static version. According to this post by Jeff Atwood, it’s “much harder than you’d think”. It doesn’t appear that this is a priority for the Discourse team, either, which is perfectly u…

@Silvanus Can you indicate a live discourse site that you want to archive? I’d be glad to try it out. Also, have you tried httrack? I think that a command as simple as httrack yoursiteurl might work quite well.

I’m still in the phase 1 (phpbb2 > phpbb3 > discourse) of my archival, so no site yet. After I’ve managed the phpbb conversion, I’ll get back to this. It feels very, very hard. Been trying to install phpbb3 for a while now, but I get some weird problems all the time. :frowning: I’ll have to try tha…

@Silvanus Well, I noticed that you point to the forum at https://uskojarukous.fi/ on your Profile page; I went ahead and created a couple of archives of that. You can (temporarily) take a look at the results here: Using my archival tool and Using httrack Here are a few comments: I definitely l…

Very cool, thank you for all the clarifications. Just a quick note, it seems that your tool can’t handle sub-categories (which is why many of the messages seem to be without a category).

@Silvanus Yes, I think you’re absolutely right about the sub-category thing. Thanks - I had wondered about that.

@mcmcclur : as you already realized, I’m the admin of said forum, which is the third of our forums. When we did technological jumps, we didn’t migrate, but started from scratch, and the older forum was archived. The last two forums are in SMF format - but I finally managed to start converting them in…

Just a few tidbits for anyone else looking for some httrack tips (which works great for my purposes). A complete list of command line flags: HTTrack Website Copier - Offline Browser Using the -s0 flag ignores the robots.txt (if you have a non-spider-able account) If your site is behind a login, y…

Good point, where would this be intercepted @sam ?

We have this method for tracking page views: app/controllers/topics_controller.rb f0af61da4 def should_track_visit_to_topic? !!((!request.format.json? || params[:track_visit]) && current_user) end W…

Hi all – just jumping in here to say that @mcmcclur ’s code was exactly what I was looking for! So thank you very much for sharing :slight_smile: I made a few small modifications (mainly additional code that makes sure to grab all posts in a topic, not just the first twenty) and the code is here: Gi…
