Pocket AI Chat wrote:One searchable criterion to classify a board as a phpBB board is by checking its HTML source code or page footer for mentions of "phpBB" or any phpBB related labels, such as "Powered by phpBB" or "phpBB forum software." Another criterion is to check the URL structure, as phpBB boards often have a "/forum" or "/phpbb" directory in their URLs.But, then again, we didnt know that

PHPBB Forum Server on Raspberry pi - Raspberry Pi Forums
Wed Jun 19, 2019 11:15 pm One other way (if this Pi is going to be dedicated) is to use Diet Pi https://dietpi.com as one of its software options is phpBB3 The front end will do most of the work for you https://dietpi.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php? ... tart=5#p51 but note this comes with a couple of warnings: 1) DietPi is not Raspbian - it has the same roots but it aint the same. Support is via their forums more than here 2) To quote the folk at Diet Pi - Somewhat bulky installation, due to webserver pre-req Like a lot of things - if you want to know how it sticks together then I would take up rpdom's very kind offer or if you want to use this as a dedicated board on a dedicated Pi ( ) - cheat and let Diet Pi do the work I took a brief look at DietPi was very confused about the whole deal, is it free or paid, to me the website is very busy confusing, flashing blinking screens WHY?

I am doing this right now. Here's the command I'm using:

wget -k -m -E -p -np -R memberlist.php*,faq.php*,viewtopic.php*p=*,posting.php*,search.php*,ucp.php*,viewonline.php*,*sid*,*view=print*,*start=0* -o log.txt http://www.example.com/forum/

I wanted to strip out those pesky session id things (sid=blahblahblah). They seem to get added automatically by the index page, and then get attached to all the links in a virus-like fashion. Except for one squirreled away somewhere - which links to a plain index.php which then continues with no sid= parameter. (Perhaps there's a way to force the recursive wget to start from index.php - I don't know).

I have also excluded some other pages that lead to a lot of cruft being saved. In particular memberlist.php and viewtopic.php where p= is specified can create thousands of files!

Due to this bug in wget http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?20808 it will still download an astounding number of those useless files - esepcially viewtopic.php?p= ones - before simply deleting them. So this is going to burn a lot of time and bandwidth.

I recently faced a similar issue with a phpBB site I frequent facing imminent extinction (sadly, due to the admin passing away). With over 7 years of posts on the forum I didn't want to see it vanish, so I wrote a perl script to walk all the topics and save them to disk as flat HTML files. In case anyone else is facing a similar problem, the script is available here:

https://gist.github.com/2030469

It relies on a regex to extract the number of posts in a topic (needed to paginate) but other than that should generally work. Some of the regexes may need tweaking depending on your phpBB theme.
