Making the whole albums html

[Infernal]

Any way except copying every page renaming it changing the links in it to make the album pure html ?
any automated way of doing this any program plugins option etc ?
i need to save sql power fast and i am guessing if i do that search will still work but the comments will be saved

If you need to do this quickly, you might try redirecting your traffic through the Coral Cache. http://www.coralcdn.org/ Just make sure the actual coral cache servers can get to your page.

If you don't have the needed server power to run coppermine, there are other gallery apps that create plain HTML files on your client, so you just need to FTP-upload them to your server. I'm not aware of a tool that flawlessly loops through the gallery with the myriad of meta albums and creates proper static HTML pages that can be uploaded to a webserver. There are tools like httrack that can create offline copies of a website, but I doubt that you can upload the offline copies to your webserver as a replacement for the actual gallery.

Coppermine is a great tool that i am very familiar to already
It has a friendly user interface that all my admins can use and i can pretty much change absolutely any code out of it without to much research i have worked with it a good deal of time
I know other albums but i do not want to change to something else

I have a solution just opening pages and copying them but that does take me a whole lot of time considering i would have to edit some url-s in them to
So for my 12000 picture album that would be murder

I necessarily have to cut down on db requests in coppermine tho

If you're on a dedicated server, you might want to consider to implement query caching and/or some accelerator. However, it's beyond the scope of this forum to advise on webserver setup.

I am not on a dedicated but having the largest site on their server they should listen to me when i ask for some changes done to the server
am the most likely to have to upgrade so i am the most likely to pay them the most

for the time being imma try and remove some things from diaplayimage.php like the filmstrip

Removing the meta albums (random etc.) will save most resources.

i did so already

thanks a lot for the fast reply
