Printable/continuous version of a thread?

Postby Teango » Fri Nov 27, 2015 10:03 pm

One of the features I found really useful on the old HTLAL site was the "printable version" link (which was usually located at the bottom of a page). It allowed me to quickly read through all the posts in a thread without the need to navigate between several pages, and the simple continuous format lent itself to easy backup. Is there something similar we could implement on our new forum?

Silly me...I just found it! For those who are interested, it's "Print view" in the "Topic tools" drop-down menu (just look for the little arrow next to the spanner icon). :)

I just tried it with the Activating Passive Knowledge topic. It does not connect to subsequent pages :(. Maybe I missed something.

Indeed...I think you're right, tomgosse. The "Print view" feature only seems to work for the current page being viewed - what a pity! Perhaps this can be fixed by changing the phpBB settings for this feature or modifying the code?

There was some discussion of this before. I believe it is a change to the forum software, rather than simply installing an extension. But I don't think anyone has decided to modify the code just yet.
