hello,

im looking for a plugin to get the ability to export all topics from a particular forum (ID) to a html page , so just the topic name plus the excerpt like:

1. </h1>lorem1 ipsum sit amet dolor </h1>

<p> bla bla bla bla bla … (read more)<p>

---

2. </h1>lorem2 ipsum sit amet dolor </h1>

<p> bla bla bla bla bla … (read more)<p>

---

3. </h1>lorem3 ipsum sit amet dolor </h1>

<p> bla bla bla bla bla … (read more)<p>

…etcetera.

is there such a plugin around?

thanks a bunch.

You could probably do it with RSS. If you’re using wordpress, you can do this (I have it as a sidebar widget).

<?php require_once (ABSPATH . WPINC . '/rss-functions.php');

$today = current_time('mysql', 1);

// insert the feed URL here

$rss = @fetch_rss('http://www.domain.com/forums/rss');

if ( isset($rss->items) && 0 != count($rss->items) ) {

// set the number of items from the feed to display (6)

$rss->items = array_slice($rss->items, 0, 5);

foreach ($rss->items as $item ) {

echo '<h1>';

echo wp_specialchars($item['title']);

echo '</h1>';

echo '<p>';

echo wp_specialchars($item['description']);

echo <a href="';

echo wp_filter_kses($item['link']);

echo '">(Read More)</a>';

echo '</p>';

}

}; ?>

The main (all posts) RSS feed is: http://www.domain.com/forums/rss

All subsequent forums (fori?) are: http://www.domain.com/forums/rss/<whatever&gt;

Like this subforum would be: https://bbpress.org/forums/rss/forum/plugins

This page would be: https://bbpress.org/forums/rss/topic/forum-exporter-plugin

If you don’t have wordpress, look into MagpieRSS
