Your welcome. I knew it was there under vboptions, just could not remember the exact subsection, that's why I gave the search option.:)
Glad you've found it.

yeah, i must have misread the instructions:

2.Import the attached file using the Product Manager. Go to your vBulletin settings and search for 'Check for similar threads?'.

I read that as 'check for similar threads' is located in Admincp -> vBulletin Options in its own category.

in any case, thanks.

Yes that was my first interpretation too when I installed it the first time.;)

<if condition="in_array($forumid, array(1,2,3))">

CODE FOUND IN THE TEMPLATE

<else />

</if>

Same can be done for usergroups. Overall, ranking users will have less need for this functionality than newbies.
Like this:

HTML Code:

<!-- show the following to the listed usergroups -->

<if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo,1,2,3)">

CODE FOUND IN THE TEMPLATE

</if>

It would be nice to have a setting for usergroups in adminCP though.

Mind that jquery 1.4.4 is out, so the listed version of jquery.min.js (1.2.6) is outdated.

So in mrnasesimilarthreadcheck_header
replace:

HTML Code:

<script type="text/javascript" src="clientscript/jquery-1.2.6.min.js"></script>

With:

HTML Code:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4/jquery.min.js"></script>

Ive read this entire hack and the older one and still cant find how to reduce or increase the results returned. Can someone post the solution. Thanks....

hahaha excelent Add On ..

Thnx for share this ;) !

Had to uninstall. I got it working but couldn't prevent it from pulling rss feeds, even after excluding that forum and rebuilding the similar threads.

Someone needs to write up a How To on this hack. Its actually a very good ideal but unless you know your way around VB it can easily discourage less experienced admins.

Real chick

#1. After you install run your "rebuild similar threads" in maintenance.
#2 It works off the VB default "similar thread" so to change how many results are displayed you need to change the VB default for the same. Its in one of your php files but I cant remember the one right now. Its not in the plugins or templates.
#3 Just because you don't get a result doesn't mean its not working. It just means you have nothing similar. Try more words in the title and you will see results.

Like I said this really needs a Read Me included.

When this will be ported to vB4? :(
