Vapourware Is there any way to download an entire thread complete with linked images as a pdf?

[Chamezero]

I don't want to click 'save as' two hundred times or make a shitty script to download it all, is there an easier way?

If at least threads had an interface that lets you download the source code of each post, the result could be translated into pretty much everything. Like this:

$ curl 'http://www.rpgcodex.net/forums/index.php?threads/is-there-any-way-to-download-an-entire-thread-complete-with-linked-images-as-a-pdf.102295/bbcode'

You could then use a shitty script™ to generate e.g. TeX or Markdown and pdf from that in turn.

Is there any way to play an entire song only with your anushole as a sort of modified harmonica?

Yes. First you'll need a flat, round leaf like from a eucalypt or ficus. Then do like this guy


except instead of holding it horizontally between your mouth lips, go vertically between your butt cheeks.

Speaking of jigawatt, what happened to The Wes Dude?

I believe TheWesDude has self ejected in an extreme display of butthurt about losing his preferred avatar to one of his betters.

IS there a way to download an entire thread into PDF format so we could instantly sell The Grimoire thread in bookform ?

I think that "Why did Sir-tech went bankrupt" would be far more interesting read. Too bad lots of images went down.

I would be satisfied with a nice wget command.

No pdf was generated. I don´t know what is wrong, please help!
I tried everything even googled it for hours. Maybe it is the leaf?

No, it was meant as a notation of a unix shell program call. First line is the call, the rest is the output. The format of the output, of course, is not entirely sensible.

Now it's too late but I found a nice solution for Firefox (possible that it works in other browsers too):

1. Click on the thread in the thread list so you land on the first page.
2. Open the Javascript console (Tools ->Web Developer -> Web Console)
3. Change the 5 in the following code to the number of pages you want to download:
   

   var NO_OF_PAGES = 5; 
   
   function processFrameContent(e) { 
    frame = e.target; 
    container = document.getElementById("div-" + e.target.id.split("-")[1]); 
   
    container.appendChild(e.target.contentWindow.document.body); 
    document.body.removeChild(e.target); 
   } 
   function clearChildren(node) { 
    while(node.hasChildNodes())  
    node.removeChild(node.lastChild); 
   } 
   var threadUrl = document.location + "page-";
   clearChildren(document.body); 
   for(var i = 0; i < NO_OF_PAGES; ++i) {  
    divId = "div-" + i; 
    div = document.createElement("div"); 
    div.id = divId; 
    document.body.appendChild(div); 
   };  
   for(var i = 0; i < NO_OF_PAGES; ++i) {  
    frameId = "frame-" + i; 
    iframe = document.createElement("iframe"); 
    iframe.id = frameId; 
    iframe.onload = processFrameContent; 
    iframe.setAttribute("src", threadUrl + (i + 1)); 
    document.body.appendChild(iframe); 
   };

4. Copy and paste the code into the console and hit enter.
5. Print.

It collects the pages of the thread onto the current html page beneath each other in the correct order. It even does it in parallel.

You, sir, are one of the best people who happened to this forum.

Quite a few LPs in Codex Playground were lost to time, as the images and sometimes even the hosting sites faded into obscurity. I always wanted to have a way of archiving them safely, and I guess that's one way of doing it.

However, it does not play well with images under spoiler tags, displaying them as if they were quoted (i.e. very small). Taluntain, DarkUnderlord, I thought that was the first thing that was fixed? Can anyone tell me why the fix doesn't apply here and if this can be rectified?

Edit: nvm, figured it out. It looks like spoilers are rendered under
<div class="bbCodeBlock bbCodeQuote bbmSpoilerBlock">, and the bbCodeQuote is responsible for shrinking the images.
