archive-canvas-discussion

Saving canvas discussion forums as JSON and HTML!

It's really not actually that exciting :(

usage

  1. npm i -D coarchive/archive-canvas-discussion. Do not install globally on Windows! It just doesn't work for some reason.
  2. Optionally, grab yourself a copy of style.css and stick it somewhere. This is what you can use instead of the builtin stylesheet.
  3. Make a bookmarklet with this file's content as the url.
  4. Go to the discussion forum page you want to archive and click it.
  5. Copy that JSON output.
  6. archive-canvas-discussion
  7. Respond to the prompt.
What is the name of this discussion forum?
> hw-m2
Make sure the JSON is on your clipboard.
Then press enter when done...

Wrote df/hw-m2.json
Wrote df/hw-m2.html
Bye.

Options can be given through command line arguments to skip the prompt. In the above example, --stylesheet, --dir, and --exclude have already been provided.

  • --stylesheet:<path>
  • --dir:<path>
  • --name:<name>
  • --exclude:<name,name,*>

To exclude all names from scrubbing, use *.
