Offline version of development forums
Posted: Sat Oct 18, 2025 9:20 am
Here's an offline version of the "Scope and XITE Development" and "Device/Module Wishlist" forums that you can browse on your development system without Internet access. Thanks to Spielraum for the idea!
https://scopeusers.com/Pulsar/files/pla ... forums.zip (2.9 MB)
https://scopeusers.com/Pulsar/files/pla ... hments.zip (80 MB)
The first file contains all the HTML files and the second one the attachments.
Put the attachments folder from the second zip file into the same folder as the other files from the first zip file, so that it looks like this:
attachments/
css/
images/
topics/
development.html
index.html
wishlist.html
The file index.html contains links to the other two HTML files:
The two files development.html and wishlist.html list all topics of the corresponding forums on a single page:
Each topic includes a link to its original online version in the header as can be seen here:
...and the beloved smilies are included as well... 
The topic page contains all posts of that topic so that no paging is needed. This means that links using the start query parameter won't work properly. For example a link like .../16038.html?f=11&start=20 is supposed to jump to the 20th post in the thread but this is not the case in this offline version. Instead the first post of the topic is shown.
Only attachments that are located on this server are included (and only attachments of those two forums).
I have tried to repair the various broken links to the forum that were carried over from the past, so that they hopefully all work offline (that is, if they refer to posts in one of the two included forums).
