[Fastbird]

Work great, just wondering if there is anyway to customize the colors. I realize it's pulling predefined stuff from the forum, but if there is some way to setup custom link colors and row colors, that would be amazing.

Hello, cool mod, installed. One question, should I rebuild similar threads after install of your mod?

[ry215]

Search Index only

[Scalemotorcars]

Possible conflict with RSS posting. Im trying to figure it out now. It shuts down the cron jobs for some reason.

[Scalemotorcars]

My bad this had nothing to do with your mod.

From what I can see this mod is working perfectly, thanks for sharing.

[SDN]

does this work for 3.8.5?

[StarBuG]

nice one

Thanks

[Globe]

is there any chance to change de color of it or witch templates does it use?

[hcmls.net]

Thank you

[Winter Sonata]

Working great !!

[Winter Sonata]

ry215, you do and still doing great job for the community

[Daniel_HBK]

please help anyone help us for make it working with arabic and other languages :(

[Nosfer@tu]

please help anyone help us for make it working with arabic and other languages :(

Theck the encodement of the file.

Download again, open files in textpad or other tool, check if encodement is the same as your forum uses.

Give us a link to your site and a test user, then maybe somone can help you m8

[massizero]

It works perfectly but at the end of the similar threads lines I have the following line

"Error in my_thread_global_end(): 1 threads didn't exit "

how to fix that??
thanks

[balkanboy]

great mod working fine at the moment :D

thanks for reply,

i tried to change "<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>" in the hack file to "windows-1256" as my forum language (encode) but the same problem

[docvader]

This really is superb, but the alternating colors of the found similar threads is creating havoc in my styles. What stylevars do I alter, or what code in the product.xml file, so that I keep one background color? (and what stylevars would that be?)

Excellent hack. Should be a "must have" in every vb install.

[Charis]

Great mod but... it does not work with words in Greek.
It does work perfectly with words in English.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

[BirdOPrey5]

what type of overhead does this require? I'd imagine it's running several full searches for each title? Does 'similar threads' need to be enabled?

[MrNase]

Sorry guys, I had to report this modification.
That guy ripped me off, he released my modification without asking for permission. :mad:

Heck, he even stole my original description...

[Lynne]

The modification code is different. I pulled this accidentally for another reason, but have since put it back.

[docvader]

Same title too, LOL. MrNase, waiting for you to upgrade yours...

[a7lameza.com]

thank you

[vaio1]

only works in default template in my custom dosent work

what can i do?

[RTMdotORG]

Anyway of making this for 3.8?

[Kolektor]

Anyway of making this for 3.8?

I second it.

[sadiq6210]

Not work properly with 4.0.3

[Charis]

With 4.0.3 works great if your language is English.
With other languages, eg. Greek, does not work even if you change "ISO-8859-1" in the xml file to "ISO-8859-7".

Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks in advance.

PS: I 've "Rebuild Search Index" (AdminCP > Maintenance > Update Counters)

[syrn]

very nice , installed , 5*

[lubbie]

Hmm the "Coder" is suspended, so there will be no more update for this mod ;) and.... its just working for english boards, if u are using another language u will have problems. Better keep the hands off this mod

[Arunkumar]

Great Add on. Will be very useful to create the threads faster. Installed.

[NAVAMUEL]

thanks, is perfect!

[insidedesign]

Simple works! 4.0.4

[laughatlife85]

Thank you, it's so sweet to me , he he

But in Vietnamese , this mod can't find similar theards with "thông số" keyword

Can you fix it ?

Thanks again

[strudinox]

I like this a lot but one problem... I have a dark theme and this looks like it was written for a light one. How can I change the background color on the boxes that show up?

[tech4c]

thanks

[Teknik4]

Thank you for your work.

But it does pose problems in Turkish characters.

I would be glad if you make a fix for this problem.

[hiker]

How much does this affect performance, sending those queries to the database?

[DGKN]

Thank you for your work.

But it does pose problems in Turkish characters.

I would be glad if you make a fix for this problem.

same problem for me..

[MrMister]

Been wanting this for quite some time. I actually started to write it, but had bigger fish to fry. I am quite happy to have tripped into this thread tonight!!

[latch]

This is a nice mod, however, I find that it does not work as well as "VSa - Check If Already Posted", which is a shame, because I like yours alot better because it uses ajax.

Is it possible for you to improve this mod so that it shows better results?

[General of the]

works great on 4.0.5

[Globe]

great hack how can i change the colors?

[Merjawy]

It seems to only work with English threads

[Roachy]

To modify the colors of the similar thread search results, go to Plugins & Products -> Plugin Manager, and edit the "ajax_start" hook location for this mod. The line you're looking for is:

if($iii%2==0) $bg = "background-color:#F2F6F8;";

[starman?]

Just installed. Looks great. Thank you very much indeed. I just hope the punters like it.

I've excluded quite a number of forums but wondered what works best for other people who have this hack installed?

[belowthebelt]

Fantastic, thank you very much ~

[reddyink]

Hello,

Can this MOD be customized so that it checks for similar POSTS/Replies instead of threads?

Thanks,
Willing to pay for the custom work.

[YankForum]

this should win MOTM hundreds of times

[steve1966]

this should win MOTM hundreds of times

I agree a thousand times

[vietfancy]

does wonder.

works great on 4.0.7

[LordVader]

Hi

I love this mod, but it is unfortunately causing issues with another mod i have installed.

I installed this mod & it is causing the tagger i am using to malfunction.

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=235469

Is there any way to get them to work together ?

Thanks

Will. :)

[Sleepydawn]

This isn't working for me I tried tying in the same name as another thread and it said no similar threads found ...

edit it doesn't work when you name your thread test for some reason

[armthehomeless1]

Installed and works awesome!

My only comment would be to add slightly more space between each of the search results.

5 stars!

[AcidX]

Hi, installed and working fine, but I had to remove it again as I misread what the excluded forums option does. D'oh. :) It is possible you could add another option to list forums where the similar threads option should not run at all please?
