Scripts, list of discussion ids
The git depository contains scripts and lists of discussion ids.
You should be able to run ./dld-all.sh FILE_WITH_DISCUSSION_IDS
to start a download. From time to time you will be blocked by tabletalk. The script will then exit. Start it again after some time and it will pick up where it stopped.
Site structure
Topics
The discussions on the site are grouped in a number of topics. These topics are listed on the tabletalk front page: Books, Family Life etc.
URLs:
http://tabletalk.salon.com/webx/Books/
http://tabletalk.salon.com/webx/Families%20Who%20Think/
etc.
(Note: the URL of the topic is not always the same as the topic's title, see Families%20Who%20Think vs. Family Life.)
Each of the topic pages has a full list of the discussions in that topic.
Most topics have archived discussions, which are moved to an 'attic'. The list of topics in the attic can be found via the attic link on the topic page. For example:
http://tabletalk.salon.com/webx/Books/Books%20Attic/
The attic page has, like the topic page, a list of the discussions.
Discussions
A discussion has a starting post (which appears on each page) and a list of messages. A discussion has a discussion id, a sequence of letters and digits. The messages are paginated: 50 messages per page. The index of the next message is given in the URL, starting at index 0 for the first message.
Simple URLs to get the messages of a discussion:
http://tabletalk.salon.com/webx/.[DISCUSSION ID]/[MSG INDEX]
E.g.
http://tabletalk.salon.com/webx/.eea08df/0
http://tabletalk.salon.com/webx/.eea08df/50
http://tabletalk.salon.com/webx/.eea08df/100
http://tabletalk.salon.com/webx/.eea08df/...
These URLs do work, but the URLs that are linked from the tabletalk pages look slightly different.
http://tabletalk.salon.com/webx?14@@.eea08df/0
|
http://tabletalk.salon.com/webx?14@@.eea08df/1160
|
The last page of the discussion can be recognized by grepping for the LAST link. If this link is not on the page, you have found the end of the discussion.
