Repairing the template images in Manila sites

[scripting]

I'm trying to repair my father's mbatoolbox.org.

It's a statically rendered Manila site. All the text is there, but the theme, whose graphic elements were hosted on downloads.redjupiter.com, are gone.

Looking at the urls of the images, it's pretty clear he used theme35 for this site.

I don't mind doing some string substitutions on the HTML. But I need the actual images that go with that theme.

If you have them, or know where I can get them, I don't mind hosting them on an appropriate domain here, on static storage. Let me know.

PS: Here's an example of an image. Do not click the link however, it will try to install Flash, and you probably don't want that.

Could you perhaps get them from archive.org's snapshots of the site?

Yes I saw them there, but it’s going to be hard to get all of them, and I want to see if anyone has an archive, so I can just put them all in a bucket and forget them.

It looks like the files for the Transmitter 1.2 theme (theme35) are in http://static.userland.com/users/images/theme35. Here's a listing of files in that subfolder from a Wget I did on an old Manila site that uses that theme:

I have a question you might be able to answer. I have an old Manila site as a .root file. Do you know a way to turn that root into files and folders I can upload to GitHub?

[grantdunham]

Not sure if you were able to get the files from above. If not, they're available.

Thanks @charlie-payne -- that's exactly what I wanted. I was hoping the files would end up on static.userland.com. How nice that they're already there.

So I wrote a script to change the files, They look almost perfect except for a glitch in the upper left corner.

But it's infinitely better than it was in the morning.

Charlie, Manila has the ability to statically render a site. I’m not the expert on this, but I’ll see if I can dig up some info for you if no one chimes in first.
