using version 1.9.9
Is there any way to save discussion threads on the forum besides painstakingly copying and pasting each one into a Word doc?
Thanks.
Here's a possible approach for you. Use Adobe Acrobat Pro (note, it's the Pro version and not the free viewer version). Acrobat has the ability to capture webpages. I am successful capturing my main forum topics. Then, shift-clicking on each forum topic will add it to the PDF file. You end up with a PDF file with all forum discussion, that you can navigate.
My example exceeds the 100KB limit for an attachment, so I moved it to my website. This is not complete, just a brief example.
Another option is to install a free pdf printer, like PDFCreator (Windows only but there are similar tools on Mac and Linux). In this case you can send each page to the PDF printer and have it wait until you have all the pages you want and then combine all the print jobs to a single job (two mouse clicks). From here you can just save the file and resistribute and/or print at will. I have used this numerous times and it works great.
Hi Carmen
A colleague of mine created the ability to export forum conversations from the Moodle course backup file. We were using 1.9.5 at the time the files were uploaded but I'm sure they'll still work well (we haven't needed to export forum threads for some time!). See http://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-9469 for details.
I hope this helps
Cheers
