Is the error I posted part of another hack I have or is it something to do with yours?

Since it's working for 99% of the users, it must be something wrong with your files or with another plugin. :)
From what I see, there's an error in a vB file that isn't touched by this Add-on. :)

Works great for me :D

For the people that it doesn't work for: 1) Upload/install product 2) upload jQuery to clientscript folder (found in first post) 3) Make sure the "Check for similar threads?" Option is set to "On" in vBulletin Options. I missed some of these when i first read the post, so if anyone missed anything i hope this helps... Also, about other browsers, it's most probably jQuery :(

were the bugs for internet explore fixed?

Excellent mod.

Installed!!!!!!!!!

Installed with pleasure!

Does anybody have a gif image, that has to display while system searches for similar topis ...

Thank in advance.

Never mind. I got it :)

For those who didn't get it here is an attachment.

Put it into your your-super-forum.com/images/misc/ folder.

Yes! :)


Here's a great resource for activity indicators: http://www.napyfab.com/ajax-indicators/ :)

Installed.... :)

Thanks .... :up:

Question: I assume that when it displays similar posts in forums, it considers the user's access rights? In other words, it's not going to display a list of posts in forums that he doesn't have permissions for?

Yes! It uses the same functions vBulletin uses to display the normal similar threads. It even pays attention to the global ignore (better known as Send Someone to Coventry) setting. :)

not working for me :( ie6

Thanks ... :)

Is it possible to make the display box of similar threads wider somehow? On our sustem, the date/time part of the post line is all "scrunched" up and compressed under itself. Another inch or so and it would display better.

Also, my AdminCP looks like this in the area where you mod is activated:

I assume that the ones in italics are the ONLY settings applicable to your mod?

Thanks again.... :up:

Looks good, but please fix the instructions to make finding that option easier. I mean, one shouldn't have to search for 15 minutes and read 20 posts to figure it out.

is there any way to make this usergroup specific?

That way members with 1000 posts in a specific usergroup don't need to see it when they post a new thread, and new members in a specific usergroup see it all the time.

Seems like a great tool to help new users find answers without having to wait for responses to a thread that may be a duplicate of one that already exists.

when I install this mod, I cant find the option in admincp.
Is it normal ?

The instructions say 'Go to your vBulletin settings and search for 'Check for similar threads?' The browser inline search does a good job on this.



I have no plans to do that, sorry. But I highly doubt that it will be complicated to add.



It's hidden under 'message posting and editing options'.
The settings are called 'Check for similar threads?' and'Check for similar threads? - Disable for certain forums'

Ok! I found it , it really a good mod. I love it , thank you!

HI

Working fine now for me thanks

Willing to share what the problem was? Maybe it helps me to improve the next release. :)

Conflict with the manual "already posted check" hack i had installed, I removed the older 1 and it works fine now, thanks!!

Anyone?

I tried already tried that and I didn't get it to work. :(

It only shows me that if you enter a Title it will search, but it does nothing :(
Don't know what to do.

same problem for me! It doesn´t search anything. Plugin is activated.

System: FF 2 & Vista

This is a very awesome mod.

I have the open local links in same window modification on my forum. For this mod is there any way I can have the searched similar threads show up in a new window when clicked while still having my other local links throughout my forum still open in the same window?

Here is the mod I'm using:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=130966

That's not the Local Links mod's fault.

This plugin would need to be fixed.

nevermind...I figured it out...it was much easier then I thought.

For anyone who hasn't figured it out:

showthread_similarthreadbit_ajax

Find: Replace:

Installed. Nice mod, but a question... It seems that if I enter in a certain phrase to search for, it only brings up a small handful of threads that are indeed related, but it does leave out some of the newer threads. Why is that?

morrow: It uses the vBulletin default function to find similar threads. In fact I didn't even touch the function because it was working just right.

The function gives each similar thread a number, the higher the number the higher the similarities. You can't control it directly but there are some vBulletin settings that might help you.
They're hidden under the search settings. It's basically everything that has to do with the similar threads but I can't give you the exact settings because I don't have an english vBulletin. :)

all i can say is wow... thank you..
thats one hell of an awesome mod...
very very very useful.. ;)
keep it up mate...

Thank you for the modification. A small request:
Can the search function be limited to some forum only while it is searching for the similar thread?

this not working for me :(

Thanks ... :up:

That really helps the usefulness of the mod...

Badger

I think it's a good idea to let the similar threads open in a new window. Let's pretend the user doesn't find the information he was looking for. In that case he still has the window with the new thread form open and I doesn't have to navigate through the forums just to get back to the new thread page. :)

waow thanks man this working for me :D

its not working for me (ie7)... but im not uninstalling... i will just hold it in stasis until there is a fix for it in the browser i use... INSTALLED...

Doesn't seem to work.... It indicates in the edit box that it will show a listing of similar titles, but never does. Any suggestions?

Does this hack compatible with 3.6.8?

As per my earlier post: this doesn't seem to work.

It adds a line to the new thread template that indicates it will search for similar threads, but the search never takes place and nothing is displayed.

It appears this hack doesn't work with the newest release of vB. Any fix, or is it time to uninstall?

With thanks.
