Summary: Feature-Request: Extension to export all articles to a
single PDF is missing
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: any
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: [other]
AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
ReportedBy: f.po...@kniel.de
Hi,
after searching & testing several hours i reached the following situation:
Current Situation:
##
It's seem like there is no single extension allowing an easy export of all
articles to a single pdf - while there are several ways to generate pdfs from a
collection of articles or single categories.
Extensions i did consider:
##
Extension: DumpHTML - working - but due to missing search (html) its not really
useable as offside backup
Extension: PDF Export -> broken (see extension discussion/talk page)
Extension: Collection: complex config & requires online access or additional
servers - might be a problem for specific setups.
Extension: PDF Book (pdf & html) - works pretty good for single categories -
but is missing an option to select ALL articles.
Target:
##
A simple way to generate easy readable offsite backups of entire mediawiki
installations - in best case the pdf-generation could be triggered from
mediawiki itself but as well from cli (i.e. for cron-jobs/script usage)
Ideas:
##
I guess it could make sense to tweak Extension:PDFbook - as in theory/right now
it should just miss an option to collect all articles. The pdf-generation in
general is working already for single categories.
If that function would be added it would be pretty easy to generate pdf-backups
from entire wikis - which might help several people overall.
