Title: Import from print view?
Post by: eph on May 01, 2005, 07:26:34 AM
Hello,

all I have of my former forums are threads saved in print view. Some are from travar.de and some from a smf board, and although I could get a dumpfile of the smf boards, my new smf forum already has posts which I don't want to loose, so I can't use a regular converter.

Is there a way to import such print view data as threads written by guests with a script? All the necessary info is in the print view, after all: thread title, usernames, date and posts.

I got the idea for this when I read about a yabbse mod which allowed to download and reupload threads for offline use. Seemed kind of the same theory to me.
But I'm still a php-n00b, so I'm not sure if it's possible.
Has anyone ever tried to write such a script? Can it be done?
