thank you for your response
I have 2 languages on the forum, French, Polish
That will work also with the French?

not work for me 3.8.1. The result is always not found silmilar post

:|this is for the translation i think and no for returning results error!

Have no idea. Attached Polish phrases exported from my vB. Should integrate with multilanguage forum, like any other mod. Just import selecting Polish from language dropdown.

Regards

This mod works on my 3.8.1 with no problems. It also searches with diacritic marks (ąćęł?ńśżź). See no errors, have good (noempty) results.
Have enabled Similar posts feature (and guess this mod uses its database).

Regards

It doesn't show up under my VBulletin options. I'm using 3.8.0.

Mod works great. Thank you. Please updated first post - read below!

I had the same problem. Will the developer updated the instructions to save a lot of screwing around?

Thank you Chani!

I agree...! It would have saved heaps of time if the instructions were clear enough... lol
Certainly NOT the mod of the month .. just because had to waste my time trying to get the instructions :(

no matter what i do the js doesnt get loaded. :(

I see this error when it tries search.

great!

I notice only versions 3.6 and 3.8 are mentioned, we'll either of these work with 3.7.x?

Thanks!

Still nothing ??

Thanks for the mod, very useful.

I decided to add
in the links so that the user is not taken away from the New Thread page when they click a link. Might be a good idea to make this an option in the CP?

It would be a nice option to only have this show for specified usergroups as well. That way senior members, mods, etc don't really need to see it, but new users would. Just a thought.

Cheers

I agree, nice mod once I found the setting.

I read all the way through this thread. Running 3.8.2 I installed correctly and I did the code update to use 1.3.0 (I also tried reverting back to old code in the mrnasesimilarthreadcheck_header template so that it just uses the 1.2.6 jQuery). Tried it both ways.

I get this notice as try to post a thread (similar one):
Notice: When you enter a thread title the system will search for similar threads which have already been posted. That should help you to find answers.

But that's it, the hack does nothing otherwise. I have tested it extensively, with and without the AJAX for autotagger turned on and off.

Turning this mod off for now until developer comes back with a solution or update.

Same here mdawg, I see only that message and nothing happens when I type something in the thread title. It also move my "Message" or vB editor to the left. Weird.

Let's wait for the developer.

i can't make it working for me

Nothing here either 3.8.1

thanks installed

Same.

Must Uninstall Auto Tagger Mod Not Just Deactivate!

I had the same conflict problem between the Auto Tagger and this mod. It is NOT good enough to just deactivate the Auto Tagger mod. It has to be fully un-installed for this mod to begin to work again.

After I fully un-installed the Auto Tagger mod this mod works perfectly on vb3.7x and 3.8x (default theme). The problem is a conflict between the two mods and an Ajax issue. Both developers need to get together and sort out the issue. PLEASE!

very nice thanks

it still does nothing on my 3.8.2 board.

Not working at all on my forum either.....:(

Did you adjust the setting in your ACP?

Yes ofcourse :)

I finally got it to work. I had to rebuild the simlar thread cache from maintenance. Works great! I've even modified the product so you can limit a certain number of threads from showing rather than the default 5

what version of JS you using?

1.2.6

thx for your response. It still doesn't work.

I tried

- 1.2.6 JS file
- product

and

- 1.3.2 JS file
- a template edit in mrxxxx something
- product

still now luck. I'm running 3.8.2

EDIT:

I confirm this mod works on 3.8.2!

since many people posted not working replies, I'll share what I did:

- download just the XML file
- click INSTALL
- import the XML file
- Go do the template edit
- Go enable the product in vB settings (it's under Message Interface and Editing Options, at very bottom)
- Rebuil Similar Threads in Maintenance
- Done and it'll work.

Thank you MrNase. It's really great to have something do LIVE quick search before posting the same thread lol

But there is a small problem. When I enabled this product in vB settings, my newthread.php changes the look.

IE. The editor box and my thread description box including the smilies move to the left. Only the Prefix box and thread title box stayed same as where they were before product is enabled.

PS: How may I add a scroll bar allowing me to search more than 5 and the scroll bar is as high as 5 results?

After i ran this option

"Rebuil Similar Threads in Maintenance"

The mod works fine :) i suggest anyone having problems do this..

How do i make the similar thread links open in a new window? thanks

instead of a popup window, what I did is make it auto collapse ;)

I'm now super confused. I installed this on one of my boards & it's working perfectly.

Now I'm trying to install it on a new board (with only 2 test posts) and it won't work! It appears & then says nothing can be found....

The two test posts are both called test & test test - then I try to create a new topic called test (so it should appear in the similar topics right?) it doesn't!!

The default vbulletin (fulltext) search engine finds both topics from a search of 'test' & I've rebuilt the similar threads a million times (they're also enabled in the admincp) ...

I'm totally lost with this one!

You'll need to create alot of posts to build up the postindex. So you might wanna try creating more like 10 topics or variations of test (test1, test2, test3, etc) Then rebuild, then it should work.

How do i make the similar thread links open in a new window? thanks

Thanks, still not working perfectly but it is now working for some posts. I presume the post index just has to build up & then it'll work.

Many thanks

Anyone....

How do i make the similar thread links open in a new window? thanks
