Those options are only avilable to users who are not using MySQL.

There was a good reason why archiving wasn't supported for MySQL database. Don't remember it right now.
Would have to do a search for it.
For mods, no. I don't know of any.

To be honest I have no idea why, I did a lot of the coding, but the original mod was by someone else, I can't see any reason why it wouldn't work, most of the queeries look pretty standard.
toad, if you wish to try it, obviously take a backup of your DB.
check to see whether you have the FORUM_A_REPLY and FORUM_A_TOPICS tables, then just uncomment the if strDBType <> "MySQL" from admin_forums.asp, I would be interrested to know the result if you do try.

Ok, the archive seems to work fine except for a small problem which is cosmetic and should be simple to fix
after removing the <% and %> tags before and after the "if" and "end if" in the menu i now see those, so my menu looks like this....
if strDBType <> "mysql" then
Archive topics from a forum
delete selected topics from an archive
configure archive reminder End If
Delete ALL topics from a forum
i'm sure there is just something i did a bit wrong and should be easilly fixed. i ran an archive of a non important topic, and it seemed to work. i then viewed the contents of the new archive and it also works. is there any other test i need to look into?

This topic might be better in the Development(General) forum.
If MySQL archiving works here. . . there might not be a reason to leave it out of the base code anymore.

It would be better in the Bug Forums.

toad,
rather than remove the <% %>, remove the whole line.

So remove the "if strDBType <> "mysql" " and "end if" ?
