Exporting Content for Offline Usage

The discussion revolves around bulk exporting content from Discourse for offline usage. nairolf initiated the conversation, seeking a way to export over 300 how-to pages as PDFs for emergency access.

nairolf found @zh99998’s suggestion to print individual pages as PDFs inadequate for bulk export. erlend_sh shared a Ruby script by @fantasticfears, but nairolf lacked the necessary Ruby skills to modify it.

Other users, including huynhthai824 and pihentagy, expressed interest in exporting content to Evernote or achieving bulk export with linked pages. pihentagy also sought a more authentic or out-of-the-box solution for exporting pages beyond the shared Ruby script.

Hi,

I’m going to use discourse to create a howto and knowledge database. Is there a way to export all the content as pdf or a similar offline readable file format? Export would be necessary to have access in an emergency case.

Cheers

Ok, but this is not a solution for more than 300 howto pages. I need something like an bulk export

@fantasticfears wrote this download script as part of the learndiscourse project. If you know some basic Ruby, or could get ahold of someone who does, it shouldn’t be hard to tweak the script to suit your own needs.

Unfortunately I’ve no ruby skills. Maybe somebody else did already solve my attention?

Can we export to evernote or sync with evernote?

Ich überlege auch, Discourse als Wiki zu nutzen. Wir möchten zudem einen Massexport mit Links zwischen den Seiten haben (wobei Seiten die ersten Beiträge sind und die anderen nur Kommentare).

Gibt es eine authentischere (oder out-of-the-box) Möglichkeit, Seiten zu exportieren, als diese Gist?
