Thread (PDF or whatever) export?
Hi,
Well, as I realsied the amount of great technical information some of the threads are holding, I was wondering if in any future some options could exist to export discussions into a file like PDF or whatever?
I know nothing is magic and that would be some work on Dbug's side, so I'm also wondering if I'm the only one interested in such an option

Something like that https://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.php?t=2103170 ?
I think the print to pdf should work, but of course to see all the pages you need to get a mode for that as well https://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.php?t=2098880

Re: Thread (PDF or whatever) export?
Yes. Actually I searched the page for a "save to PDF" button for 3 minutes before realising you were pointing to the discussionDbug wrote: ↑Wed May 18, 2022 9:20 am Something like that https://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.php?t=2103170 ?
Mmmmh, so I'm actually asking for two things!Dbug wrote: I think the print to pdf should work, but of course to see all the pages you need to get a mode for that as well https://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.php?t=2098880
If I had to pick up one, I suppose the "Print All Posts in Topic" would be the most useful. One can have its own PDF printer (and according to the mod description, the whole thread can be stored, too).
Re: Thread (PDF or whatever) export?
I guess I can take a look at that one of these days, I need to update phpBB anyway.
Re: Thread (PDF or whatever) export?
That would be a great addition IMHO, but am I the only one interested? Anyone else?
Re: Thread (PDF or whatever) export?
Me!
I think it would be indeed great!.

Re: Thread (PDF or whatever) export?
I have used Print-to-PDF as an alternative to bookmarks for decades, so this is a great idea imho. Might be a way to tell phpBB to show all messages in a thread already though ..
Re: Thread (PDF or whatever) export?
So, you should normally have a "Print all" option added to the small wrench icon menu.
Please try it and tell me if that works as you wanted.

dunno if it is what Symoon wanted .. but it looks cool .. Nice feature
Re: Thread (PDF or whatever) export?
Yes, my idea was to be able to have a pdf of a whole thread.
I posted an example in the other thread, following Dbug's announcement of the upgrade.

Re: Thread (PDF or whatever) export?
Woob can export phpbb posts as text (markdown or html IIRC) messages, I once used that to prepare prints for the Alchimie about the attendants machines.
