Dear vBulletin developers,

Is there a way to show the similar threads on a custom page (one that includes global.php etc.)?

--

I'm displaying a whole Post content (first post of a certain Thread) in the custom page. The call to the Post ID is based on the url, let's say:

http://thedomain/articles/19

... where 19 is the ID of the first post.

I've managed to display the Post and some of its info (datelines, number of replies, authors, etc.) correctly by doing $db -> query_first() and vB_BbCodeParser.

But is there a way to get the "similar threads" to appear in my custom page? Is there some functions that'll return the Thread or Post IDs of the similar threads? Maybe something like $similar_threads = get_similar_threads ($postid).

Or, does the similar threads stored in a table in the database? If so, which one? :D

Thank you,

Have you had a look at how similar threads are fetched?
