I was looking for a way to keep an offline version of the community guides. Building a .zim archive wasn’t great, so I ended up writing some scripts to download the posts’ content and recompile it in HTML. As a bonus, there is an index page that could be used here?
This is what you get:
I don’t know how to sort them, maybe it should be done manually. So right now:
- the tags are sorted by “frequent” / “infrequent” / “versions”, then by alphabetical order
- the topics are sorted by a compound number made by adding the number of posts to the number of likes.
Things to fix or add:
- No post except the first one of the topic is added
The git repo is hosted on codeberg. And you can download the resulting offline HTML files as an archive : pages.tar.gz (about 4MB).
The index is very basic and a lot of guides don’t have tags. There are 2 options:
- I do it on my own side, ignoring the forum’s tags
- we do it on the forum, adding missing tags (before that, maybe finding a simple definition of some tags could be good?). But I don’t know if it will change the “last updated” date?
The following post contains an excerpt of the complete index.
