Hello, I want to move the similar threads right below my first post, just as similar mods are shown in vb.org... unfortunately, haven't been able to make it work.

I tried to use this in the postbit, but nothing is shown.

<if condition="!$GLOBALS['FIRSTPOSTID']">$similarthreads</if>

Maybe someone has a clue or an idea how to make this work? :D
Thanks

This wouldnt work because $similarthreads isnt called in the postbit template

Oh, yeah, i know it's called in the showthread template... that's why i was wondering if someone has an idea on how it is done here in vb.org

I also wanted the same feature, but since it did not seem possible, I digged into the code and made my own modifications. I now have similar threads in a column on the right side (as in youtube) only on showthread pages...

It needs modification of some template files and am not sure if I can advice anybody on that over here...

What kind of modifications to the template files? I'm sure I or someone else can help with that. :D

this is simple actually... on postbit creation, after "is_first_post" thingy, just call the details to display these related threads...

I would also love to see this mod happen, would be a great addition to the chief first post mod.

Implemented the similar threads in sidebar of 'showthread' on this forum: mediscuss.org (http://www.mediscuss.org/talk).

Incidentally, it is also being considered (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=301574) for "Board of the Month" for March 2009 on vb.com.

I will release the template modifications soon...
