I'm using 3.6.8 and I had opened 5 threads (after and before install) with "test test xyz" as topic and if i make a new thread with "test" as topic this text is comming: "No similar topics found. Start your thread and let the users answer your questions."

Work fine , thanks ;)

Installed :D

anyone?

if u are not using the scripted called "jquery-1.1.3.1.pack.js"
go to the tamplate called "mrnasesimilarthreadcheck_header", find the script name (is easy) and change that name to the one you have uploaded in your clientscript folder :D (it works ^^)

I was wondering how server intensive this mod is. Because it essentially works as a ajax search (or that's the impresion I get) :S If the forum is medium/large size it could be bad... dunno. How bad could it be?
I personally would use it a search function... so I guess my users would too, that's why I'm asking. I know it's not ment to be used that way... but if I thought of that I know they will too

Thx mate, and is a very very good mod... should help me prevent lazy guys from posting the same thing over and over again, or at least make them use meaningful titles :P

Very interesting; Will install again when this is actively supported. I noticed that author ignoring help requests which is a bad sign IMO.

Problem:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class vb_xml_builder in /home/samforum/domains/samforum.ws/public_html/includes/visionscripts/psionic_hide/ajax_complete.php on line 15

How fix it?

The trick: Go to your VB Settings & select SHOW ALL.
Using your browser's Find feature, search similar.

Boom; you're golden.

For the folks having issues with not getting any results back:

1. Are you using full text or VBulletin as your search engine? If you are using full text, does it work if you switch to VBulletin
2. Have you tried rebuilding your search index?

I had the problem of not returning any results on my sandbox installation, switched to VBuleetin and rebuilt the search index and all worked well after that.

Let me know if it works for you!

Hi :)
it is wounder full script, many thanks

I just want to say that I had a difficult time to get it working,
I have activated the plugin, but still nothing was showing the new thread

I kept trying, until i figured out that it must be some sort of conflict with other pluin/ hack!!
and yes indeed, it was:

in my case it was a conflict with the @(Template Compressor)

if you use the plugin Template Compressor, you have to uncompress the templates and then add the following to be ignore list for the (Template Compressor plugin) :

mrnasesimilarthreadcheck_main newthread

and then it should work

p.s
i said in my case, you may have another case if it still did not show up :)

Nice mod! Really...

Installed and apparently working just fine on 3.6.8 PL2...using the Avant Browser. Just thought you should know.

Great job with this...nominated!

Excellent mod! I'm confused about something, though. I tested it by entering a new thread title with the exact phrase that is in an existing thread title, and it said "No similar topics found". Why didn't it find the existing topic?

*installed*

Couldn't get it to work when I downloaded and installed jquery 1.2.1.

When I removed the version above I downloaded and installed jquery 1.1.3.1 and it worked perfectly. I think you have to use this version for it to work.

I have intalled it does not work , completley dead

I am using vBulletin Version 3.6.5

how you do that

works on 3.6.8 ?

thx perfect mod

I've just installed this and it works on vb 3.6.8 PL2 - sorta...

When I type in a subject say for example "Ford truck" this mod will bring up similar threads with the titles of Ford Truck however they are old threads, like back in 2004. It does not show current stuff. I know this because 3-4 threads down on the same forum there is a thread titled Ford Truck but this mod doesn't display that thread.

Why not?

my default language is farsi & i use 3.6.8 Patch Level 2 but when i want to send a new post i cannot see similar post , i see

no sorry worked for me not in FF nor in IE ;-)

can this be used with 3.5.4? anyone has tested it?

People, can u help me to fix my error

I install this hack, try to search in Opera:

if i type in english , smth like "test" - forum said me the result
if i type in russian any word - forum said that no matches...

how to fix?

PS: If i use IE, firefox - that's ok!

who can help me ?

This script doesnt work for me.. NEVER finds similar threads.

Let me know if it works for you!

What is this "full text" search thing people keep talking about?

And yes, I have rebuilt my search index, hasn't changed anything.

Inside of your admin console under VBulletin Options (on the left) there is a menu item called Search Type (which links to http://yoursite.com/admincp/options.php?do=searchtype)

It will tell you the type of search option you have selected. I, for example, am using the VBulletin Search Engine so mine reads:

"Your forum is currently using the vBulletin search engine.

To enable the MySQL Fulltext search, we will issue the following two queries. If for some reason this process is unsuccessful, you will need to perform these queries manually. Please be patient as this can take from 10 seconds to an hour depending on the number of posts on your forum. "

I had the problem of no results. I switched to vBulletin search and then rebuilt my search index (http://yoursite.com/admincp/misc.php?do=chooser) and everything is working great now.

Hope this helps!

WOOT! That fixed it! Thanks man!

tnx. Very nice product.

Is this hack can be use with 3.5.4? Anyone?
Thanks.

It should be compatible with 3.5.4 :)

The directions need to be updated.

I had to hunt for this myself.

Looks like an excellent addon.

Thank you!

Thanks it works on www.bilgipasaji.com/forum

I like it very much and it worked thanks to this tip


However I've uninstalled it because I've some reserved and private forum and I've noticed that this plugin search also (and show the results!!!) also on these forum.

It's not possible to avoid the search in some forum? I've tried to put the private forum ID in the settings but these settings are not meant to avoid the search.

I found the solution for Internet Explorer 7! I've readed all posts, but no of this solved my problem. But its easy!

1. Just download jquery-1.1.4.pack.js here.

2. Load it up into clientscript folder.

3. Then open the template mrnasesimilarthreadcheck_header and find:

Replace with:

Note: I've not tested with other browsers (like IE6, Opera or else...).

Yes, that's exactly what I've said, but the problem regarding private forum remains...

What do you mean with "private forum"? Password protected? Hidden for normal users?

It is not an issue at all. If you have permissions you can see the information regarding private forums. If not they are not visible at all. This function uses the same function as similar threads.

So you mean that I've seen my private forum because I've access to it and a user that doesn't have access to it will not see anything? If that's the case this one is wonderful. I'll install is asap!!!

UPDATE
It's true!!! I've tried and it works this way. Fantastic!!!

Work great. Thank you

that's great I was going to use it
but it's doesn't get the informations from the DB
I have an Arabic forum and the data that it's in the " jquery-1.1.3.1.pack.js"
it's only for English site's

could I change the data that it's in the " jquery-1.1.3.1.pack.js"
to Arabic data and how I could edit it ( what the data that I have to edit )
Thanks

dont work with the 3.7 Beta3 version ... :-(

the script dont find the similar title.....

Works fine.
But had to use the version of jQuery that you used and not the latest one.

This is a great mod!
Thanks!
