Organising the Archive

biell

@lia Nice, it looks good. On Firefox, the input bar sticks out right, out past the dark gray backdrop. It looks great in Chromium.

biell

@lia Also, Pro tip. It is a regular expression search, so you can type in something like this helmet|pads|ppe and get all the results which match any of those words.

Weird, on mine it sits in place. Typical firefox lol.
I'll look at trying to make it bound to the div so it doesn't zoom outside it.

Good suggestion with the search, I'll see if I can figure that out :)

Lia

IT

IS

DONE...

omg I can't believe it

~ ~ ~ archive.owforum.co.uk ~ ~ ~

~~1180~~ 1193 topics are available to view that I managed to salvage and with the help of @biell repaired the files.

...I am so happy.
The old forum is finally safe and available to be browsed at the leisure of anyone that wants to take a look. The place I and many of you used to call home for a while now lives on even if just as a snapshot in time. I promised myself I'd stop crying over things like this but I can't help it. I'm so happy to see it restored alongside the new forum.

This has taken so much of my time and strength but the entire collection of archived pages I collected are not only uploaded but accessible from the landing page. Rescued from the ticking time bomb that is google cache. Was extremely lucky the web-crawlers did the site literally the day before the shutdown to give me that extra time to grab it.

That isn't to say it's over though, there are plenty of topics still out there lingering in the depths of archive.org no doubt and pages I may need to manually tweak but for the most part it's done. I can sit back and fix things pointed out now the main grind is over.

I can actually cross this off my todo list, something I rarely get to do with how bad I am at finishing projects. This has been one I refused to let get shelved.

Issues to resolve so far:

~~Timestamps are missing :( I swear I saw them work once so maybe I broke that.~~
~~Some avatars are missing. When running the script line it raises a regex issue on line 344 that has something to do with avatars. I might have brokey somehow.~~
~~Site icon (favicon.ico) needs changing to OWForumArchiveIcon.png with an alteration to the tag to allow it to render not as an ico.~~
~~Topic 105 has picture issues where it appears image(x).jpg has been replaced with just image.jpg and led to repeat images.~~
~~Topic 177 didn't generate index.html so will need to manually resolve that one.~~
~~Topic 448 has some picture overlap, need to find and recover some elsewhere.~~
~~Redo the server config to remove /index.html from the URL and also interpret URLs pointing at a directory to try looking for index.html~~

Suggestions?

Create a gallery page for all the cool pics from the old forum for easy viewing. May need curation to not just display screenshots.
Create a custom 404 page for missing content.
Modify the missing post placeholder to link to a "Missing Post" thread.
Create a custom 404 for a missing topic to link to a "Missing Topic" thread.

@lia Great, great work. It looks nice. If you send me topics 105, 177, and 448 I will see what is wrong with them and fix the script. It is possible whatever is causing the issue has caused an issue somewhere else we don't yet know about.

biell

@lia I found an example in topic 90. Some source files list the same image as "image.jpg" and others as "image(1).jpg" depending on if another post exists with the same name "image.jpg" appears.

An updated script prepends the post ID to every image file, to ensure this doesn't happen. Now, you don't have to worry about two different posters uploading "image.jpg". My guess is that this is pretty widespread.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1FFmb1LVADMPUvIMumuJdX50xRmqIq7iM

If you re-run the new script after the old, you will be left with both the files for the new image name (e.g. "25_image.jpg") and the old name (e.g. "image.jpg"), so it would be best to clear about a topic number before regenerating.

Sorry about that.

Lia

@biell That worked great :D

Found a folder brimming with a few files back from before I decided I would do the whole forum so just updating the naming scheme so the script accepts the data then re-running it. Some good stuff in there that fills in some blanks too .

Modified the "missing post" section to link back to the topic I created earlier to help guide viewers to help if they so desire :)

Edits below if you're interested :)

sub missing_post {
	my($id)=@_;

	return(qq{
	  <li component="topic/necro-post" class=" necro-post timeline-event" data-index="$id">
	    <small class="timeline-text">
			<span>Post(s) $id missing from the archive :(</span><br/>
			<span>Know where these posts are? Visit <a href="https://owforum.co.uk/topic/158/missing-posts">the new forum</a> for how to help get them added :)</span>
		</small>
	  </li>
	});
}

Lia

3am and just got that all finished and uploaded.

1193 topics now, added a few gems including some I'm sure we all missed.

"Post cool pics here!"
"In The Wild, Photo Share (If Possible To Capture)"
"Watching Action on the Leaderboards"
"The dreaded Error 16 code"
"Signs we see in our travels..."
This one is bittersweet >.> "Art piece for the forum members"

@biell If you want I can send you my entire "RAW" folder that I get the script to eat through. It's about 4GB unzipped if you want to play with it :)

biell

@lia Glad that helped. I updated the missing_post function in my copy so it will be there for you if I have to make any more changes.

I don't need the whole thing, sorry about that images thing, I looked around for how that worked and tried to cover it originally, but missed that the same post could have different image names in different contexts.

If you do have an example of what you would download from the Internet Archive, I would take a copy of that, because I should be able to work it into the script to automatically add those posts.

S. Leon

@lia -- Deeply impressed I truly am at what you have been able to accomplish! It is great fun going through the threads! Thank you for all your thought, stick-to-it-grit, and work!

Lia

@biell No worries :) It's something I'm surprised the original forum didn't handle by adding an incrementing tag or something to any upload to avoid something like this.

Oh I think I found the issue with 177 also, I did an oopsie!
I mis-named 178 (35) as 177 (35) so I wonder if it's bricking that somehow. Updated it and running it again :)

@S-Leon Thank you <3
I was worried it would end up being some real lazy FTP link dump. Being able to browse it somewhat seamlessly has been a relief. As always the effort is nothing if not for the amazing content that existed there from all of us and those that no longer came to the forum. I am forever grateful to get to see all the cool pics of people having fun and be able to help restore them.

I'm now curious what FM's reaction to it would be if they stumble across it. Hopefully... fingers crossed they appreciate the effort and allow it to exist.

biell

The only way I would have participated in this one was if my board was on the bottom. That would be a heck of a tumble if something went wrong.

https://archive.owforum.co.uk/topic/8957/in-the-wild-photo-share-if-possible-to-capture-keep-your-onewheel-in-the-shot-if-you-can-updated-title#155

@lia, I have always been focused on removing unnecessary stuff. What if we add something. I am thinking a tiny link icon which references the current post. Then, people could use it to copy/paste a link to a specific post. I think I would try putting it to the left of the person's name, between that and their avatar pic. What do you think?

Lia

@biell You read my mind, I didn't know if the postID linking worked still but you just showed it functioning so I'm down for that!

Maybe a "share" button or something. I can mock one up if you like. Have it appear to the left of the vote count?

Lia

@biell Alright made one, not as dirty as I thought it was going to be.

That said my solution has a script per button which isn't efficient at all >.>
I couldn't fiddle the W3 code to work with multiple buttons with varied entries on one function :(

Here's what I got though :)

For each post just before <span class="votes text-muted"> We can add the below:

<input class="hidden" type="text" value="topicURL/#N" id="postShare#N">
<button onclick="shareButton#N()" onmouseout="outFunc#N()" class="btn btn-sm btn-primary">
	<span class="tooltiptext" id="shareTooltip#N">&nbsp; Share This Post! &nbsp;</span>
</button>
<script>
	function shareButton#N() {
	  var copyText = document.getElementById("postShare#N");
	  copyText.select();
	  copyText.setSelectionRange(0, 99999);
	  navigator.clipboard.writeText(copyText.value);

	  var tooltip = document.getElementById("shareTooltip#N");
	  tooltip.innerHTML = "Stoke Saved To Clipboard!";
	}

	function outFunc#N() {
	  var tooltip = document.getElementById("shareTooltip#N");
	}
</script>
<span>&nbsp;</span>

Note:

#N needs to be replaced with whatever the postID is of the current button location.
topicURL needs to be replaced with the topic URL + postID.

This creates a button beside the up/downvote counter using the same button scheme as the forum.

Upon clicking it will copy whatever content was present in that post's value present in <input class="hidden" type="text" value="topicURL/#N" id="postShare#N">. The button changes to confirm the link was copied.

Working example up on https://archive.owforum.co.uk/topic/2/welcome-to-the-onewheel-forum/ :)

NotSure

@lia said in Organising the Archive:

allow it to exist

wise man once said: something, something, proxy, offsite something...

i dunno i paraphrased a lil bit.

alt text

biell

@lia Try this out:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1FFmb1LVADMPUvIMumuJdX50xRmqIq7iM/view

I am able to put the function up in head, and pass the index as an argument. I added share_fn and share_btn functions with the respective code. You may want to play with the tooltiptext CSS a bit.

Your tooltip in outFunc was maybe started but not finished? It looked half done, and I couldn't see it doing anything. So, I changed it a bit, let me know what you think. My way also allows people to copy the url using the context menu.

Also, I didn't like that the button stayed Stoke saved to clipboard! forever, so I have it go back after 3 seconds.

Lia

@biell I'll give that a whirl in a bit, thank you :D

Glad you've got the brains to sus out a better way of doing it. Should keep it nice and lightweight especially on the larger topics.

That tooltip is probably leftover from the W3 code I used and blended with some other elements that didn't work well together.

Aha me too, I wasn't able to figure out how to get it to go away again after. Thanks for fixing that :)

Lia

That works :D
Made a few tweaks that seemed to take fine.

Changed the button text from <a> to <span> else it generates green link text because of the css which could be hard to read on the blue button. Tried to override it with some style but gave up and made it span instead :)
Added <span> </span> after the </button> so it creates a little space between itself and the voting bit.
Minor grammatical update to the missing post bit.

=head1 SYNOPSIS

forum_archive <directory1> [directory2] [directory3] [...]

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This script takes a set of files downloaded from the google page cache
for the community.onewheel.com NodeBB forum and tries to put it back
together.

=head2 Content Management

A small number of resources are available from the internet.  B<forum_archive>
will download these assets, if needed, for inclusion to the archive file
structure.  If assets have been downloaded recently (within the last day)
then new downloads are not attempted.  This should keep B<forum_archive> from
slamming remote resources during testing phases.

=cut

sub wget {
	my($src, $asset, $dst)=@_;
	my($file)=IO::Handle->new;
	my($req)=HTTP::Request->new( 'GET' => $src );
	my($get)=LWP::UserAgent->new;
	my($response);

	$asset=~s|^[/.]+||;
	
	if(!-s "$asset/$dst" || -M "$asset/$dst" > 1 ) {
		$response=$get->request($req);
		if($response->is_success) {
			File::Path::make_path($asset, { 'chmod' => 0755 });
			open($file, '>', "$asset/$dst");
			print $file $response->decoded_content;
			close($file);
		}
	}
}

=pod

B<forum_archive> will dynamically create the C<assets> and C<topic>
directory structures as needed to store content found within the
post.  In an effort to increase efficiency for commonly used content,
such as avatars, actual copying of these files will not occur each time
such content is seen, after its initial copy.

=cut

sub location {
	my($file)=@_;
	my($try);

	if(-r $file) {
		return($file);
	} else {
		foreach my $dir (keys(%SEARCH_PATH)) {
			$try=join('/', $dir, $file);
			return($try) if(-r $try);
		}
	}

	&wget($RESOURCES{'broken'}, $META{'resources'}, 'broken-file.png');
	return(join('/', $META{'resources'}, 'broken-file.png'));
}

sub copy {
	my($src, $asset, $dst)=@_;

	$asset=~s|^[/.]+||;

	if(!-s "$asset/$dst" || -M "$asset/$dst" > 1 ) {
		File::Path::make_path($asset, { 'chmod' => 0755 });
		File::Copy::copy(&location($src), "$asset/$dst");
	}
	
}

=pod

Avatar image are stored in a central location, shared by the entire
archive.  This lowers the space requirements of the archive and
increases page load times and browser cache efficiency.

=cut

sub avatar {
	my($img)=@_;
	my($dst)=$img; $dst=~s|^.*/||;

	&copy($img, $META{'profiles'}, $dst);

	return(join('/', $META{'profiles'}, $dst));
}

=pod

Uploaded images which are stored in the archive may be named slightly
differently on the archive than on the original.  NodeBB has gone through
a couple iterations about how to handle this conflict, and B<forum_archive>
tries to handle this by using the more unique C<ALT> tag element parameter
name.  When that doesn't work, the original name is kept.  Images are also
grouped by post, to avoid naming conflicts between different posts.

Additionally, if an image is referenced in a post, but is not contained in
the archive, a standard broken file image is substituded.

=cut

sub upload {
	my($src, $alt)=@_;
	my($new)=$src; $new=~s|^.*/||;

	if($alt=~m/\.\w+$/) {
		$new=join('_', $META{'postid'}, $alt);
	} else {
		$new=join('_', $META{'postid'}, $new);
	}

	&copy($src, $META{'path'}, $new);
	return(sprintf('<img src="%s" alt="%s"', $new, $alt));
	
}

=head2 Archive Display

One major change in the archive from the original is the banner.  The original
banner is replaced by one tailored to the archive, to set it apart from
the original forum and make it clear it is a wholly different entity.

=cut

sub banner {
	my($start, $img, $end)=@_;
	return($start.qq{
		<div class="container">
		  <div class="navbar-header">
		    <a href="http://archive.owforum.co.uk">
		      <img alt="The Archive homepage" src="$META{'logo'}" height="$META{'logo_ht'}">
		    </a>
		  </div>
		  <div class="navbar-header pull-right">
		    <p class="text-right" style="padding-top: 10px">
		      This page is an archived copy of the old Onewheel Forum.
		    </p>
		  </div>
		</div>
	}.$end);
}

=pod

One of the differences which makes the archive different is, unfortunately,
that some posts are missing.  When this occurs, B<forum_archive> inserts a
break in the timeline with a note about the message IDs which are absent.

=cut

sub missing_post {
	my($id)=@_;

	return(qq{
	  <li component="topic/necro-post" class=" necro-post timeline-event" data-index="$id">
	    <small class="timeline-text">
           <span>Post(s) $id are missing from the archive :(</span><br />
		 <span>
             Know where these posts are?  Visit
             <a href="https://owforum.co.uk/topic/158/missing-posts">the new forum</a>
             for how to help get them added :)
		 </span>
         </small>
	  </li>
	});
}

=pod

Although most of this script works to remove unnecessary content from archive
posts, one little thing is added.  A button is added to help people copy
a posts permalink to their clipboard to facilitiate sharing.

=cut

sub share_fn {
	return(qq{
      <script>
        function shareButton(index) {
          navigator.clipboard.writeText("$META{'url'}#"+index);

          var tooltip = document.getElementById("shareTooltip"+index);
          tooltip.innerHTML = "Stoke Saved To Clipboard!";
          setTimeout(function() {
            tooltip.innerHTML = "&nbsp; Share This Post! &nbsp;";
          }, 3000);
        }
      </script>
	});
}

sub share_btn {
	return(qq{
        <button onclick="shareButton($META{'postid'})" class="btn btn-sm btn-primary">
	        <span class="tooltiptext" onclick="shareButton($META{'postid'});event.preventDefault();" id="shareTooltip$META{'postid'}" href="$META{'url'}#$META{'postid'}">&nbsp; Share This Post! &nbsp;</span>
        </button>
	<span>&nbsp;</span>
	});
}

=pod

An interactive, HTML5 based NodeBB forum requires a lot of javascript to
work.  Since the archive is a static copy of that data, all of the javascript
is removed, and the archive works nearly identically on all platforms.

=cut

=pod

B<forum_archive> assumes that all the headers from all the source files
are identical, and uses the first one it finds.  With that content,
the new banner is inserted, interactive metadata and buttons are removed,
and the new style is setup. B<forum_archive> also collects important
information like the page path and total message count.

A lot of cleanup occurs within each forum post.  Firstly, and with the
javascript removed, all times are calculated and coded directly in UTC.
Interactive buttons are removed, and links to content (such as user
pages) not contained in the archive are also removed.  Other interactive
content (e.g. online status) is removed, too.

Media, such as avatars and uploaded content is collected and placed
properly into the new archive filesystem structures.

=pod

Similarly to the header, the HTML after all the posts is based on the first
file seen and removes some of the content better suited to an interactive
stite than a static, archive site.

=cut

sub footer {
	local($_)=@_;

	s|<div class="progress-bar"></div>||s;
	s|<div class="spinner" role="spinner"><div .*?</div></div>||s;
	s|<div id="nprogress">.*?</div></div></div>||s;

	return($_);
}

=head2 Data Import Process

Each downloaded F<.html> file from the forum is read and separated into
3 sections, a header, a list of posts, and a footer.  The first file's
header will be processed and used as the archive files header, same with
the footer.

Each post is pulled into an array.  If a post occurs in multiple downloaded
cache files, then the last one read is kept.  Each one is processed and
prepared for the final archive topic.

=cut

sub ingest {
	my($source)=@_;
	my($html)=IO::Handle->new;
	my($move, $category_url, $category);
	local($/)="\n\t\t\t\t</li>\n\t\t\t";

	open($html, '<', $source);
	while(<$html>) {
		&global;

		if(m/^<!DOCTYPE html>/) {
			if(m/class="nprogress-busy"/) {
				$WEIRD=0;
			} else {
				$WEIRD=1;
			}

			if(!$HEADER || !$WEIRD) {
				$HEADER=&header($_);
			}
			s/^.*<ul component="topic" class="posts timeline" .*?>\s+\n//s;
		}

		if(m|</html>$|) {
			if(!$FOOTER || !$WEIRD) {
				$FOOTER=&footer($_);

				if($FOOTER=~s|(<div class="post-bar">.*\n<hr>\n\t\t</div>)||s) {
					$move=$1;
					($category)=($HEADER=~m|<meta property="article:section" content="(.*?)">|m);
					($category_url)=($HEADER=~m|<link rel="up" href="(.*?)">|m);

}

=head2 Execution

The script expects a directory structure of HTML files which have valid links
to media files.  Other than that, it is pretty agnostic about the structure
of the directory.  It will read the header to find out what the name of the
document should be, create it, and write to it.

In addition to processing archived posts, a special post is inserted for
anything missing.  B<forum_archive> will also produce a report on F<STDOUT>
with information on missing posts.

=cut

sub process {
	my($html)=IO::Handle->new;
	my($posts, $total)=(0, 0);
	my(@missing)=();

	$HEADER="";
	@POSTS=();
	$FOOTER="";
	$COUNT=0;

	foreach my $entry (@_) {
		&ingest($entry);
	}

	for(my $i=0; $i<$COUNT; $i++) {
		if(!exists($POSTS[$i])) {
			my($begin);

			for($begin=$i; !exists($POSTS[$i+1]) && $i<$COUNT; $i++) {
				$posts++;
				$total++;
			}

			if($i==$begin) {
				$POSTS[$i]=&missing_post($i);
			} else {
				$POSTS[$i]=&missing_post("$begin-$i");
				push(@missing, "$begin-$i");
			}

			$posts++;
		}
		$total++;
	}

	if($total) {
		printf("%s, Total: %d, Coverage: %d%%, Missing: %s\n", $META{'path'},
			$total, (1-$posts/$total)*100, join(' ', @missing) || 'None');
	} else {
		printf("%s, Total: %d\n", $META{'path'}, $total);
	}

	File::Path::make_path($META{'path'}, { 'chmod' => 0755 });
	open($html, '>', join('/', $META{'path'}, 'index.html'));
	print $html $HEADER;
	print $html @POSTS;
	print $html $FOOTER;
	close($html);
}

if($ARGV[0] =~ m/^-+h/i) {
	pod2usage(-verbose => 2, -exitval => 0);
} elsif(! -d $ARGV[0]) {
	pod2usage(-verbose => 1, -exitval => 0);
}

find(sub {
	$File::Find::prune=1 if(m/^assets$/);
	$File::Find::prune=1 if(m/^topic$/);

	if(m/(\d+)\s+.*\.html$/) {
		push(@{$TOPICS{$1}}, $File::Find::name);
		$SEARCH_PATH{$File::Find::dir}=1;

}, @ARGV);

foreach my $topic (sort({ $a <=> $b }  keys(%TOPICS))) {

=head1 NOTES

B<forum_archive> is basically a conglomeration of regular expressions.  This
is by no means the best way to manage and manipulate complext HTML files.
However, given the static nature of this content and its relative complexity,
using regular expressions requires a substantially smaller code base and
interpretation of the original source files.  Essentially, in this case,
it is too much easier to strip out the junk you know you don't want than
to understand the entire document schema fully enough to make the meaningful
changes the right way.

=pod

Had too adjust the css and start migrating assets off the old format so if pages load funny force a cache refresh by pressing CTRL+F5.

Also... made a custom 404 page ;)
Enjoy~
