like the tile says, I finished the archiver for the forums but I'm not rleasing the code just yet, because I would like some testers to test it before I release it as this impacts more in the forums that the addons that I release before. So Any volunteers??

I will volunteer.
Although I have just a small test forum, I'd be more than happy to help test your code. |

Well only had found time to test it yesterday, have tested it, but sure have some extra's I would like to see, but ain't sure whether or not it's what you intended with this function so will take the time to e-mail you about my questions and ideas, before starting a whole new discussion on it.

animedj,
Nice work animedj, another great addition I'd like to add to my forum.
However, I tried it on my forum so that it would archive all my messages, but did'nt klick on the "yes" to the question "Do you want to continue". Instead I clicked the "Back"-button and returned to my site. Then I saw that the counter for topics on the top of my forum was set to 0 (there was 28 topics there before) but the topics where actually still there. Seems like the code has put the counter to zero and not archived any of the posts. (the archive-database is still the same size). This is not a big issue as I'm only going manually into the database to get the counter back to the right number, but my point is that the counter should be set to zero when the topics are archived (and not before).
Could you give some more details as to which fields are actually archived.
BTW, it would have been nice to have a "No"-button also when using this function. I sure did'nt want to archive all mye topics when testing this add-on...
BTW I've two questions to this archiver:
1. Is the archiver dependent on which new fields that you might have included in your front-database, so that the archiver must be updated as well when the fields in the front-database is updated?
2. If you would want to get something back from archive into the front database - do you have to do that manually? Are you planning on developing some mod that would do this?

Okay.. I took out the link as I'll doing some more modifications to the archiver. Blkrogue, suggestions and ideas are always welcome so sen them my way. And Maverick, that's strange, I would be implementing a no button this night, but the counts won't happen after the topics and replies are archived. I'm going to try to recreate it to see what's going on. As to what fields.. it's better say 2 tables. The FORUM_TOPICS and FORUM_REPLIES. And about the 2 questions:
1.- no it's not dependent, as it takes the originals fiels that are in 2 tables mentioned above, and nothing more.
2.- that might be a more difficult task,as the TOPICS and REPLIES tables uses autonumber as Topic_ID and Reply_ID. Once deleted from the original table, the only way (correct me if I'm wrong) would be to add them again using an INSERT and taht would completely changes their TOPIC AND REPLY ID. It's not impossible to do this... but it would take a lot of work ^^; for that reason I would just make a mod only if there is a lot of people interested in this, or another idea would be just to make a mod to see the backup DB, that I guess it's the same amount of work either way.

FYI, you should know that I did answer yes to the question in an earlier stage and went through the whole operation of testing the update, but then there where no topics to archive due to my forum not having any older topics than 30.
Hope this helps you to recreate it.

For anyone that is interested in the changes (or those of you who can't find the link <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>), I've made an ExamDiff of the new/old files and the only thing you should change to update is this line of your backup.asp:
<font color=red>from this: </font id=red>
<font color=blue>line 78</font id=blue> <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Yes">
<font color=red>to this:</font id=red>
<input type="submit" name="Yes" value="Yes">
<input type="Button" name="No" value="No" onClick="location = 'default.asp'">
Thnx animedj! With this new backup-file I don't get the error anymore.
