Say you have a thread like the one here:

What would be a recommended approach to print or save ALL pages at once – or read them on one page, when online?

(There are reasons to work with something offline still …)

[Adam Harley (Kawauso)]

Do you mean what would be the best way client-wise (i.e. with no control over the server) or server-side?

[Peter A. Gebhardt]

Because your (a clients) browser proposes always the same “file name” within it’s save dialog I’m looking into avoiding to add the respective page number manually each & every time. So it’sbetter to save everything under one file name – how could that be accomplished by bbPress?

For printing & reading it’s likeweise.

[Adam Harley (Kawauso)]

For saving you’d have to do something server-side, probably easiest would be just to jack up the post-per-page or uncap it entirely, as it won’t save what’s already been loaded into the browser and edited.

For printing and reading however, you could use AJAX to stitch all the pages together on the fly so it appears as one.

Thx! Shall give it a try.

Maybe you could create a custom view for the topic, call it something like “Printer Friendly Page” or “view topic as one page” and put it on each page of a topic?
