All wiki pages in a download

Post by **Caligari87** » Mon Apr 26, 2004 1:47 pm

Can I get all the info in the Wiki in a single download? I can't get online very much, except at school, and I don't like having to DL every individual page that I need. Is this possible?

While I'm waiting for a response, what would be the reaction if I bumped the oldest thread in every catagory? I don't know why I'm even thinking of that.

I would actually also like this if it was possible, but I'm not sure it is possible...

use your own logic.

do this :

Files -> Save as...
into a html page file format.

Yes, however there are possibly 100 HTML pages on the ZDoom Wiki. It would not be very convinient to save each of these pages, and then have to re-save them whenever there are updates.

If there were some way to regularly zip, cab or some other archive format the wiki so that it could be decompressed and used offline it would be very useful imo. I know I certainly found the offline version of the 1.22 manual very useful.

You'd be flamed. Alot. By HotWax.

And not only by him. I'd say it'd be utterly [censored word] to do so and if someone did I'd make sure he'd notice.

I don't use synchronize, as I would die if exposed to 8 consecutive hours without internet, but isn't there some way to use it to grab all the wiki pages? I'm not sure how well searching would work... you'd probably have to do that manually.... I dunno, does anyone use synch and can shed a little light about how it works?

In Iexplorer add the wiki main page to your favourites. There will be a "make available offline" checkbox. Checking this box off will add new tabs with options on some things. One being how deep into the website you want to make offline (3 is max...).
I've never used this before. So I am not sure of the results.

Edit: Using the 3 deep option takes quite some time...

No way. I even once *suggested* having a National Bump Old Threads day, and HotWax flamed me for that.

(No offense, HotWax. I was asking for it.)

you could try wget:

http://space.tin.it/computer/hherold/
for ms-dos/windows binaries

http://wget.sunsite.dk/
for unix

Haven't tried this myself (yet), so I dunno if it works.

The wiki is stored in a form that's efficient to edit, not a form that's efficient to download. If you really want to try downloading it automatically, do not download any of the special pages, do not download any page discussion, do not download any page history, do not download any edit pages, do not download any what links here pages, do not download any related changes pages, and there are probably others pages not to download too.

That's a lot not to download. If there were an exclusion filter list, which one just could copy into HTTrack, it would be great.
