phpbb-archive-advanced

A static HTML archive generator for phpBB 3.x forums — converts a phpBB MySQL dump into a self-contained set of static pages, no server or database required at runtime.

This wiki covers every command-line flag, diagnostic mode, and internal function in depth. For a quick start, see the README.

Pages

  • CLI Reference — every command-line flag, grouped by what it's for
  • Diagnostic Modes — -l, -m, -i, -c, run before or after a real build
  • How It Works — the internal pipeline: MySQL → SQLite, BBCode parsing, template rendering, pagination
  • Function Reference — every function in generator/generate.py, generator/db.py, and generator/bbcode.py, for anyone reading or contributing to the source
