UBB.Developers Forums UBB.threads 6 V6 Modifications V6 Mod Ideas vBulletin-like Archive?

Anyone ever written anything like this? If not, I will probably do so for kicks...

Basically it appears to be 3 whole files. A "categories" file that pulls all publically accessible "Forums". A "topics" page that pulls all topics and numbers them, displaying by standard 250 topics a page (and providing a number scheme to go back further). Last, a "post" page that shows the posts and replies (and if there are an abundance, it numbers those as well).

So 2 questions...is this mod in here somewhere, and is vBulletin running "html" pages as php in their HTACCESS or something? These pages have HTML extensions, but are obviously pulling from the database...

You can 'fake' an html extension, ubb.classic does it. But from an archive/ search engine bot angle, it's not needed - either way (with an .html extension like .classic does it or not, like threads does it) works well with search engines.

That said, it probably wouldn't be difficult to do something like either the 'active topics' link or one of the '24, 48, 7 day' links like at the bottom of the ubbthreads.php page.
