Archiving a Discussion Group?

[Norman D. Ashton]

I'm just about finished testing a discussion group and it
seems to be working the way I want it to. I've used the
FP2003 wizards to create the group and the user registration
process. It is frames-based with a title in the top pane, a
TOC in the left pane, and the article appearing in the right
pane.

Now the question has come up about how to handle a very long
TOC. That pane has scroll bars. I am also aware of how to
delete articles and re-calculate hyperlinks.

Is there a relatively easy way to create an archival HTML
page at year's end and shift all articles worthy of
retention that year to it so that we can start each year
with a clean TOC yet still have a way for viewer to access
the archives?

Your best option would be to create a new discussion subweb.

1) Your DW should be a subweb
2) Publish the old DW subweb to a new subweb
(optionally delete the Post / Reply code from the old DW)
3) Publish or create a new DW in the old DW subweb
4) Adjust your root web links to/from the Old (archived) DW
